"Yinzuo, stand up."
Yinzhu knew he had gotten into trouble and was feeling very uneasy. When he heard the call, he was at a loss for what to do.
He glanced at Harigana, then at Guoluoshi, before slowly getting up.
"I'm sure you all know what happened today. I called you here for two reasons. First, to let you know that although I am young and enjoy spending time with you, I am not someone to be trifled with."
Secondly, I also want to remind you that as the Empress, I have the right to deal with you.
Some people have impure intentions; I don't mind if you make the first move.
"Especially those who exploit children, I will absolutely not let them go."
The people present had different thoughts, but from the moment they entered Qingxi Palace, they could tell from the luxurious decorations that a lot of thought had been put into it.
This was also the first time the concubines had seen what Qingxi Palace looked like, and it was completely different from the Kunning Palace they had seen before.
The Emperor left so abruptly, without even asking any questions, that everyone was quite tense.
Consort Rong and Consort Hui stood at the front, while Consort Yi, supported by her maid, stood beside them.
Seeing Harigana's stern face, they realized that they had underestimated this young queen.
Consort Hui was relieved because her son stood behind Harigana, while Consort Yi was resentful, and only Consort Rong was uneasy.
From that day on, she suddenly realized that she had been deceiving herself, and had even fooled herself.
Now, seeing the situation becoming increasingly clear, his resentment is showing. He wants to stir things up, but his methods are insufficient, and he ends up losing face.
"Xiao Liu, come here!"
Harigana sat back in his chair and beckoned to Yinzhuo, his eyes showing no intention of punishing him.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong."
Looking at the worried look on Yinzhuo's face, Harigana was certain that Lady Guoluo had educated him very well.
Whether or not they genuinely admitted their mistake, at least this attitude is acceptable.
"Sixth Prince, is the person you need to apologize to me?"
Harigana's face remained expressionless, and no one could guess what she was planning to do.
"Little sister, your brother was wrong."
Yinzhuo immediately understood what she meant and turned to apologize to Beibei.
Beibei pouted, clearly not wanting to forgive.
Granny Su's hands were bleeding a lot; if it weren't for Granny Su, she would have been the one injured.
"Beibei, tell your mother your true feelings. Do you want to forgive Sixth Brother?"
Yinzhuo looked at her nervously, his little hands gripping the hem of his clothes as he stood up straight.
"No, Granny, blood, it hurts."
Harigana nodded, then turned to look at Yinzhuo: "Sixth Brother, what are you going to do if your sister doesn't forgive you?"
Yinzhuo's eyes were red with anxiety, and he tried to reach out and touch Beibei, but she dodged away.
Yin Fu also stepped forward to protect his sister, refraining from pushing her away; Yin Ti was also behind him.
"Little Six, do you see? This is how an older brother should be."
Seeing his brothers protecting Beibei, Yinzhu nodded repeatedly: "Mother, I understand."
Harigana didn't say anything more, and pulled Beibei aside: "Beibei, this matter must be resolved. If you don't want to forgive, then what do you want to do?"
Without thinking, Beibei went up and pushed Yinzhuo, who was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"alright."
Li Dequan stood to one side, secretly applauding.
It's no wonder the Emperor likes her; this is exactly how a royal princess should be.
Yin Fu glanced at Yin Zuo sitting on the seat, thought for a moment, and went over to help him up, but he was too small, so in the end Yin Ti went over and helped him up.
"Little Six, do you resent your sister?"
Yinzhu shook his head. He knew he was wrong. He was very scared when he fell.
My sister is a girl, she must have been even more scared just now.
“Your Majesty, I have no regrets. It was my fault. My sister did the right thing. I will not do it again.”
Harigana reached out and patted his head: "It's good that you know you were wrong. I hope you really repent and won't make the same mistake again."
Without waiting for his reply, she continued, "Now that the matter of pushing people has been dealt with, tell your mother why you pushed your sister."
The Empress Dowager doesn't like children who lie; she hopes you will be honest.
Consort Rong's heart was in her throat. Although her face remained calm and composed, she gripped Yin Zhi's hand with great force.
"Mother, it hurts."
Yin Zhi couldn't help but whisper a reminder, which immediately drew everyone's attention.
Harigana was no exception; he sat up straight and beckoned to Yin Zhi, "Come here!"
"Your Majesty, the child was just joking. Please forgive him."
Consort Rong realized how hard she had used her strength, and her little hands should be a little red and swollen now. If this were seen, she would definitely be suspected.
He was interrupted halfway through his sentence.
"Consort Rong, am I no longer able to command you?"
"How about you sit and I stand?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive us."
He didn't shout at Harigana, so he just knelt down. The weather was warm, and such an opportunity to establish authority was quite rare.
"Yinzhi, come to Mother Empress."
Yin Zhi stood up and walked over, and Consort Rong's heart sank to the bottom.
She started thinking of an excuse, but couldn't come up with one, and the Empress didn't even ask.
Harigana saw the redness and swelling on his hand, which made him even more certain of what he had just guessed.
The instigator was Consort Rong.
Those present weren't fools; they all guessed the cause of the incident.
"Yinti, take your younger brother to see a doctor. Zhao Rongxi is in the side hall, applying medicine to your brother's hand."
Harigana left only Yinzhuo behind; the rest of the children had all left.
Of course, there were also the children who accompanied the concubines.
"Yinzuo, tell me, why did you push your sister?"
This time, Yinzhuo did not hide anything and recounted everything that had happened in the Imperial Garden.
However, a three-year-old child's expressive ability is not good, and he speaks haltingly.
"Yinzuo, who told you these things?"
Guo Luoluo was shocked. She saw Yinzhuo looking at her with an incredulous expression. After asking the question, she looked at Consort Rong with resentment.
It turns out that the reason they summoned her earlier was to take advantage of her son. She had thought Consort Rong was an honest person.
She never said what it meant to "steal the Emperor's affections" or "prevent the Emperor from being kind to her," nor did she say what it meant to "steal the Emperor's affections" or "prevent the Emperor from favoring his concubines." So how did Yinzhuo know?
That's how Harigana is going to be. What's wrong with her taking disciplinary action? Outsiders will just say she's acting out of spite.
They should be allowed to fight amongst themselves so they can learn a lesson later.
"Mother, yes, I overheard the little palace maid next to Rong Mother chatting with someone."
Consort Rong collapsed to the ground, never expecting Yinzhuo to act so impulsively, nor that the matter would be exposed so quickly.
