Chapter 266: Too Much Bullying
"Princess Lang, what are you doing?"
Even though she almost wanted to vomit blood in her heart, Bai Qianqian still managed to maintain the dignity and composure of a Lotus Consort.
The moment Little Li Sheng saw Bai Qianqian, he carefully tugged at Si Linglong's hand and complained in a low voice, "Linglong, she hit me."
Before this, Si Linglong had asked Xiao Lisheng for a brief description of the person who attacked her, and guessed that it was Bai Qianqian who did it. But when she heard Xiao Lisheng point it out specifically, a flash of anger flashed across her eyes as she looked at Bai Qianqian.
Bai Qianqian in front of him, who had just recovered from an illness, had a somewhat fragile look on her bare face, making her look even more pitiful.
But, this is the kind of person who just picked up the cup and threw it at her child.
She is so fierce, she is worthy of being the "female lead"!
Si Linglong thought so and watched Bai Qianqian's eyes grow colder, but she did not show any expression immediately. Instead, she pinched little Li Sheng's small fleshy hand to signal her not to worry.
She knelt down to Bai Qianqian halfheartedly as a gesture of greeting, and then spoke, "Li Sheng, who was beside me, was ignorant and stole the preserved fruits from the queen. I specially ordered someone to go down the mountain and buy two boxes of preserved fruits to make amends for the queen, and I also brought the children to apologize to the queen."
Si Linglong said this and gently pushed the little ball forward.
Little Li Sheng followed what Si Linglong had taught him before he came over, and said to Bai Qianqian in a serious and polite voice, "My Queen, I'm sorry, Li Sheng. I know I was wrong."
The muscles at the corners of Bai Qianqian's mouth twitched barely noticeably. Facing the two people in front of her, she restrained herself from showing too much emotion and said, "Lang Guipin has a heart. If so, let's leave now."
Bai Qianqian waved her hand to send the person away.
But since Si Linglong made this trip specifically, there was no reason for her to be dismissed easily.
She stood there, staring at Bai Qianqian with her almond-shaped eyes, and said, "Lady Concubine Lian, my people have let off the candied fruit, but please give me an explanation for the fact that you hit the child with something."
Bai Qianqian's face darkened upon hearing this. She looked at Si Linglong and stopped being polite with her. Her voice was a little sharp, "Are you here to apologize, Concubine Lang, or are you here to ask for an explanation? You are just a concubine, and you dare to ask me to give you an explanation?!"
Facing Bai Qianqian's rare fierce expression, Si Linglong remained unmoved, still as calm as ink, but her words clearly showed that she was too lazy to be polite with her, and she said directly,
"You beat my people, why can't I ask for an explanation? If you think I am too low-ranking to ask you for justice, then we can go to the Queen Mother and ask her to make a final decision."
Even if she was punished by the Queen Mother to copy scriptures again, she had to take the blame for the child today!
When Bai Qianqian heard her mention the Queen Mother, the corner of her eye twitched violently.
The situation she least wanted to see finally came.
No, Si Linglong might have calculated that she was unwilling to report the matter to the Queen Mother, so she dared to come and cause trouble so blatantly!
Yes, in Bai Qianqian's eyes, Si Linglong's behavior was no different from finding fault.
She didn't believe that Si Linglong was really competing with her for a child she had just met for two days. She was just taking advantage of the situation to vent her anger.
It was just because the emperor hated her, so he relied on his favor to show off in front of her...
Seeing that she didn't answer, Si Linglong urged her, "Lady Lianfei, do you want to talk here, or should we go talk to the Queen Mother?"
Bai Qianqian's teeth were almost broken, and the sound was almost squeezed out from between her teeth, "Lang Guipin, don't go too far..."
When Si Linglong heard the voice, her eyes dimmed and she became angry. "Who is going too far?"
The little monster she just adopted had bruises on its arms!
If little Li Sheng hadn't run fast and had been caught on the spot, would Bai Qianqian have been able to deal with her privately like the Liu siblings without having to wait for her to come?
After all, Bai Qianqian's current attitude is just that she sees Li Sheng as just a wild child with no status who can be bullied at will?
"You beat the child so hard that his flesh turned purple. Don't you even say sorry?!"
Si Linglong was very aggressive, as if she was going to say that this matter would not be over unless you apologized.
Bai Qianqian stared at Si Linglong in front of her, her teeth starting to ache from anger.
As a royal concubine, she is supposed to apologize to a little wild kid with unknown origins. Is she qualified?!
"Si Linglong! You..."
Just as Bai Qianqian was about to say something reprimanding, she heard a familiar voice coming from not far away. The voice was deep and casual, but the intimidation in the tone could not be ignored.
"Whose flesh is purple?"
Inside and outside the courtyard gate, Bai Qianqian and Si Linglong turned their heads at the same time in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of people coming, led by Helian Yue. Following him, in addition to Futai, there was also Helian Tuo, the son of Liwang.
