When she arrived at Yichun Palace, she found that all the prince's women of rank were there.
Everyone looked at her, and she walked in calmly.
Before he could even stand still, he heard a voice saying, "You are truly favored. You didn't come to greet Her Majesty yesterday, and you're late today too."
Tu Qingyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a purple palace dress embroidered with all the embroidery. She looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Her chin was slightly raised and the tassels on her head swayed with her movements.
She has the aura of a domineering and favored concubine.
Dabao: "Young Master, she is Chen Liangdi."
She curled her lips and saluted the Crown Princess. "Qingyu greets Her Majesty, the Crown Princess. May Her Majesty be well. I wonder if Her Majesty has changed the time of greeting. Qingyu deserves to be late."
"Tu Liangyuan, please stand up." The Crown Princess looked at the beautiful woman bowing gracefully below, and her heart was filled with anxiety. However, she still smiled and said, "The time has not been changed. You are not late. There is no need to blame yourself."
Chen Liangdi spoke again, "You're such a clever talker! You've made it my fault with just one flip of the tongue."
"Alright." The Crown Princess gently scolded, "This new sister has just arrived, so everyone should be more tolerant."
The Crown Princess is the cruel one. She has done nothing wrong, yet she asks everyone to be more tolerant.
It was as if she had really done something wrong and they needed to forgive her generously.
She stood up and looked directly at the Crown Princess. "Qingyu is stupid. I don't know what Qingyu did wrong that I need all the sisters in the palace to tolerate me. I hope Your Majesty can give me some advice."
But she won't tolerate your bad habits. She doesn't want to stay in this harem in the first place. She endured it before just because she wanted to leave the palace.
Now that I can’t even leave the palace, who would still endure this?
Besides, she is not afraid of making enemies in this harem. Even if these people are tied up, they are not enough for her to suppress.
The Crown Princess choked. She had no idea that Liang Yuan, the palace maid who had climbed up to her, was so tough.
What is the basis for this?
That face? Or His Highness's favor?
The hands under her sleeves slowly clenched, and after a long while she managed a smile, "Of course not. I was talking about the future."
"Really?" Tu Qingyu pinched her handkerchief and smiled, "If Qingyu makes any mistakes in the future, sisters, just tell me directly. I will definitely listen to you within the palace rules."
What he meant was that if you don't like something outside of the palace rules, just keep it to yourself, there's no point in saying it.
The rest of the people were laughing at the Crown Princess. This Crown Princess who had always been so impeccable actually ended up in this day.
I'm afraid that she had thought earlier that Liang Yuan, the palace maid who had climbed up to her, would be easy to control even if she was pretty.
They never thought that they would run into someone tougher than them.
Shen Liangyuan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Tu Liangyuan is right. Don't we in the harem do things according to the palace rules?"
"Who said it wasn't true? I just like Tu Liangyuan's straightforward personality." Another woman spoke.
Tu Qingyu looked at her and based on her seating arrangement, he roughly knew what her position was.
The next second, Dabao's voice rang out, "That's Lu Chenghui, the daughter of a general. She's straightforward. If the young master gets bored in this palace, she's someone you can talk to."
Tu Qingyu smiled at her and said, "This sister is right. I also like straightforward people."
When she smiled, Lu Chenghui was stunned. It was so beautiful!
She was pleasantly surprised by the seemingly quiet Liang Yuan's conversation. After coming to her senses, she quickly said, "What sister? You are of a higher position, you should call me sister."
"When I see my sister, I feel close to her and am willing to call her sister."
"Ahem..." Seeing them start chatting, Chen Liangdi coughed twice, unwilling to be lonely.
The Crown Princess said, "This is Chen Liangdi. You have already met her yesterday. Tu Liangyuan, just pay your respects."
Tu Qingyu walked up to Chen Liangdi and bowed, "Hello, Chen Liangdi."
Expecting that she wouldn't wake up easily, she silently counted ten numbers in her mind, then stood up and sat down in the empty chair below Shen Liangyuan opposite her.
"You!" Chen Liangdi was looking at someone smugly when she saw Tu Qingyu suddenly stand up. She was so angry that her face turned red.
He pointed at Tu Qingyu who was standing opposite him, "Do you understand hierarchy? How dare you get up before I even call you to?"
"Your Majesty." Tu Qingyu ignored her and looked at the Crown Princess. "Is my gesture of greeting to Consort Liang correct?"
The Crown Princess: "Of course it's right."
Tu Qingyu: "Then may I ask, Your Majesty, has Qingyu made any mistakes?"
The Crown Princess: "Of course not."
Tu Qingyu looked at Chen Liangdi: "Since I didn't make any mistakes, why did Chen Liangdi punish me?"
"When did I punish you?" Chen Liangdi was so angry that she was about to burst into flames. "But asking you to salute is a punishment?"
"Isn't it a punishment if Chen Liang Di didn't call me when I saluted?" She looked directly at the person opposite her and said arrogantly, "If that's the case, then I don't know how to respect hierarchy. Liang Di, go tell His Highness and let him punish me."
Chen Liangdi had never been so humiliated since she entered the palace. She took a sip of tea and looked at the Crown Princess. "Your Majesty, she is so arrogant, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "What Tu Liangyuan said is not without reason. She really did not do anything wrong."
Since it's embarrassing, let's all be embarrassed together.
Seeing Chen Liangdi almost fainting from anger, the Crown Princess suddenly felt that she was not so upset after being humiliated by Tu Qingyu.
What's more, she knew too well what kind of person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was.
Now he is very passionate about Tu Qingyu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he pampers her like the apple of his eye.
You can tell from the fact that he personally sent someone yesterday to say that the greetings would be postponed for one day.
If something happens in her palace on the first day Tu Qingyu comes to pay her respects, His Highness will only think that she has failed to manage the harem well and that she is jealous, regardless of whether she did it or not.
She had to bear the wrath of His Highness for the trouble they had caused?
Chen Liangdi was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
The women below who were not of high rank were watching this drama with great interest. After all, there were not many opportunities to see the Crown Princess and Chen Liangdi suffer a setback.
Afterwards, Tu Qingyu and Shen Liangyuan exchanged greetings and sat there, waiting for the people below to greet them.
At first glance, there are quite a lot of people in the Prince's Palace.
There is only one Liangdi, and there are only two Liangyuans: her and Shen Liangyuan.
In addition, there were five Chenghui, ten Zhaoxun, and sixteen Fengyi.
There are also concubines without official titles, but these people are not qualified to pay their respects to the Crown Princess.
Then there are those who were taken in by the prince but were not even considered concubines.
For example, the four major maids of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and those second-class maids who climbed into the bed.
The prince favored her once and then threw her aside.
There were no major problems with the first greeting. They chatted for a while and when they saw that it was almost time, they left Yichun Palace.
As soon as Tu Qingyu walked out of Yichun Palace, Lu Chenghui called her, "Tu Liangyuan."
