"It's okay, Wei Liang Di! You can make more donuts later, but the bad guy bullied you, and I want her to pay the price today!"
Xiao Shuangbao tried to comfort her softly, but the disciple suddenly changed the subject and directed his baby voice at Concubine Zhang with great dominance, "Why are you bullying Concubine Wei Liang like this? Why are you throwing all these donuts on the ground and crushing them?"
"Don't you know that trampling on other people's hard work is a hateful act?"
She demanded angrily.
"Oh, little princess, you've wronged me. It was clearly Concubine Wei who was disrespectful to me first. I only punished her to maintain order in the harem."
Concubine Zhang, however, didn't care at all and even deliberately put on a victim's attitude. "As for trampling on other people's hard work... Little Princess, you're taking it too seriously. Aren't they just a few cakes? The servants in the Imperial Kitchen could easily make as many as they want. Even if I crushed them, it wouldn't be a big deal. Can't I just let the servants in the Imperial Kitchen make them again? Is there any need to get so angry?"
She was simply turning the tables by saying this.
Wei Liangdi was so angry that her breathing became rapid.
Seeing this, Lvliu on the side hurriedly said, "Little Princess! Please help me! In order to make these cakes for me, I have been carefully preparing the ingredients for the past two days. Today, I went to the imperial kitchen early in the morning and stayed there all day!
"The young lady was afraid that someone would tamper with the cakes, so she never left!
"We finally finished making these pastries, but who knew we'd run into Concubine Zhang on the way, and she started deliberately making things difficult for our young lady!"
Luliu told the whole story of how Concubine Zhang had used her courtesy to find fault.
She continued, "Jieyi Zhang knew clearly that these cakes were made by the young lady for the little princess, yet she deliberately threw them on the ground and crushed them... She clearly wanted to make the young lady unable to fulfill her promise to the little princess and to make the little princess dislike our young lady!"
When Xiao Shuangbao heard this, he naturally felt very angry.
"Zhang Jieyu, do you have anything else to say?"
Her dark eyes contained a hint of anger as she glared at Concubine Zhang and said.
It's a pity because she looks so chubby.
Even though he was really angry at this moment, in the eyes of Concubine Zhang, he still had no killing power at all.
Concubine Zhang was not afraid of her at all and did not take her seriously at all.
"Little Princess, you're young, and you're so blinded by what this dog servant is saying. I didn't bully Concubine Wei Liangdi for no reason. If you don't believe me, listen to what the servants around me say."
Concubine Zhang said calmly.
"Little Princess, our queen is right. It was really Wei Liangdi who was at fault first."
"That's right. It was clearly Wei Liangdi who disrespected her superiors and offended our Empress first, so the Empress only gave her a slight punishment."
"Little Princess, you came here without knowing right from wrong and directly beat up the servants. You are too arrogant! After all, our queen is the emperor's favorite now!"
The palace maids around her spoke immediately.
“Bold!”
On the side, Jing Gan heard that these servants dared to blame Xiao Shuangbao, and immediately scolded them with a stern face.
"Third Prince, calm down."
The servants around Concubine Zhang were not afraid of looking at the chubby little Shuangbao, but they were very afraid of the princes.
As soon as he saw the Third Prince start to scold him, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy with great tact.
After hearing these words, Xiao Shuangbao couldn't help but laugh out of anger.
"You have no respect for your inferiors, do you?"
As she spoke, she looked coldly at Concubine Zhang, "If that's what you said, I'm a first-rank princess, and you're just a third-rank concubine. Why don't you kneel when you see me?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhang frowned.
She was unwilling to kneel to Xiao Shuangbao.
"What the little princess said seems a little wrong, right?"
Concubine Zhang argued cunningly, "You may be a princess, but I am the emperor's concubine, and therefore your stepmother. Even if you need to bow and kneel, you should kneel before me. Why should I kneel before you? There's absolutely no such thing as a stepmother kneeling before an adopted daughter, right?"
Xiao Shuangbao was not surprised that she would say this.
After all, she had just seen this person's gossipy face.
"Concubine mother? Do you think you are worthy of being this princess's concubine mother?"
Xiao Shuangbao immediately said bluntly, "The last person who dared to claim to be my concubine's mother, the grass on her grave is already several feet high! No, that's not right, she doesn't even have a grave anymore! Her entire family was raided, and her body was probably thrown into a mass grave and eaten by wild dogs. How could anyone collect her body and bury her?"
After she said this, Concubine Zhang immediately thought of the concubines who had previously opposed Xiao Shuangbao. It seemed that they all ended up in a miserable way.
And the one Xiao Shuangbao was talking about was clearly the former Concubine Zhao.
When Concubine Zhang thought of Concubine Zhao's fate, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
An unnatural look appeared on her face.
But she still stiffened her neck, stood straight and said, "What a joke! Concubine Zhao's whole family was raided, is it just because she went against a little princess like you? It's obvious that the emperor found out about her mistakes and that's why he executed her!
"You are so young, don't act like the emperor will really do whatever he wants with his concubines just for you!
"If this gets out, people will think that the harem is not ruled by the emperor, but by you!"
She said this because she wanted to use Emperor Cheng Xuan to suppress Xiao Shuangbao and prevent him from attacking her.
Concubine Zhang is very confident.
She was so favored, and punishing a concubine was not a big deal. She didn't think that Emperor Cheng Xuan would punish her for such a small matter. At most, he would just reprimand her.
If Princess Lingfu had any sensible opinion, she would not have made things difficult for her after hearing what she said.
However, Concubine Zhang was obviously overconfident.
"No, today I want you to know that not only does my father have the final say in this harem, but I, too!"
At this moment, Xiao Shuangbao's pair of black and clear eyes looked at her with innocence, and then without blinking, he ordered, "Come here, push Concubine Zhang to the ground! I want her to eat all the crumbs of these donuts!"
“If she refuses to eat, just stuff it all into her mouth!
"She must eat everything on the ground by herself! Not a single crumb can be left!"
She said so.
Chen Cao, who was following beside her, immediately stepped forward, without saying a word, raised his hand and grabbed Concubine Zhang's bun, and pressed her hard to the ground!
"Ah! You can't do this to me! I'm the emperor's favorite woman now!"
Concubine Zhang screamed suddenly, her hair was disheveled, and she knelt on the ground in a messy manner.
She was about to struggle.
Chen Cao raised his hand and touched a certain part of her body, and she immediately became unable to move or speak!
Then, Chen Cao followed Xiao Shuangbao's instructions and stuffed all the donuts on the ground that Zhang Jieyu had just stepped on into her mouth...
Concubine Zhang was so embarrassed and angry that her pretty face turned red with anger.
Wei Liangdi and Lvliu, the master and servant, looked at this scene, then looked at each other and smiled with relief.
