Zhu Jin looked at Di Baose and thought, "That's not what the Empress instructed. Is she trying to seize power at the first opportunity?"
Di Baose felt that this was more imposing!
Zhu Jin didn't have time to pay attention to her; what she needed now was to project an imposing presence and show the grandeur of the Eastern Palace!
Di Baose pointed at the crowd of onlookers: "Do you think the palace is a marketplace? Don't you want to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival or the Lunar New Year?"
Yu Yan thought to himself, "Well done!"
Most of those who came were from Empress Dong's faction, so the question they asked was whether Empress Dong should still be deposed or not.
Everyone knows that Empress Dong is basically finished, and if things go wrong, she might not even make it to the New Year.
After all, there's a lot to do and a lot to accomplish at the end of the year, as long as the sage is angered.
The fact that people are gathered here to watch the spectacle at the Eastern Palace, because of the Wu King's residence, is enough to enrage the emperor.
Princess Yongning regained her senses and continued crying, "I...I..."
Di Baose didn't follow her rhythm at all; she swung her arm around and hit rhythmically!
The princess consort had a group of people who came to stop her.
Zhu Jin led a group of people to stop them.
The maid shouted, "Why are you hitting people?"
Sunny and the others grabbed her and started hitting her: "Didn't you come here just to ask for a beating and a lesson? Is this how the Prince of Wu's mansion teaches you?"
Another voice called out, "Di Liangdi!"
Di Baose beat the Princess Consort hard; she was no longer powerless, having been trained by Huan Yue.
Princess Yongning was dressed in plain clothes and her hair was also plain, even cleaner than the Pei family daughters who should be wearing mourning clothes.
Di Baose grabbed her hair and whipped her! This was something most people in this circle probably knew before.
Princess Consort never expected that Di Baose would dare to make a move!
Di Baose stopped.
The princess's hair was pulled into a mess, and there were several shallow footprints on her body.
With a slap mark on her face, the Princess Consort stared at Di Baose.
Di Baose sneered: "If the Wu Prince's Mansion can't control you, I'll request permission to take charge of you on behalf of the Wu Prince's Mansion!"
The Princess Consort angrily declared, "I'm looking for Consort Huan!"
Di Baose slapped him again: "So it's because the Prince Wu's Mansion doesn't care about you. Do you want to switch places with the Crown Princess? Does the Prince of Yongning want to switch places with the Crown Prince?"
Princess Yongning was furious and cried loudly, "Why doesn't Consort Huan do anything about this?"
Di Baose kicked him, saying, "I'm going to ask for permission. You wait!"
The imperial envoy has arrived.
Di Baose stood obediently to one side.
Princess Consort of Yongning exclaimed urgently, "I'm asking Lady Huan to discipline the Pei family's daughter!"
Di Baose sneered: "The Pei family is the Pei family's business, the Yongning Prince's Mansion is the Yongning Prince's Mansion's business, and the Qi Prince's Mansion is the Qi Prince's Mansion's business. Do you have the right to ask the Empress to interfere? You have no right to make such a fuss here. The Wu Prince's Mansion may tolerate you, but the rules will not!"
The imperial envoy conveyed the imperial decree: "Send Princess Yongning to Prince Wu. The Princess has been wronged; Qing'e Palace will handle the matter accordingly."
"Yes! I'll go and report to Consort Huan right away!" Di Baose took off running!
Zhu Jin and her group quickly caught up.
Yu Yan led his men to cover the rear.
It's definitely a hit-and-run tactic.
The reason why the Princess Consort felt wronged was not because Di Baose hit her, but because she was crying here, which might be because she was wronged.
Since there's been some grievance, they should be comforted. With the Empress half-deposed and Consort Cui half-lost favor, only the Crown Prince's palace can step in.
Feeling wronged is one thing, but crying about it here is another.
It's not like you can become a god just because you feel wronged. Children throw tantrums and want everything.
If you suffer injustice, you must resolve it reasonably; if ordinary people have grievances, you must seek redress reasonably.
Everyone knows that it's because of the several Pei family daughters in the Yongning Prince's Mansion?
That's hilarious!
Di Baose ran to Jixian Pavilion, overjoyed!
Seeing that she was acting crazy, Huan Yue had Chao Yun keep an eye on her as a token gesture.
Many things are done for show. This appeases Princess Yongning, and Princess Wu will definitely reciprocate later; it's a win-win situation.
Princess Yongning also cried for show, as if she were the Crown Princess or something.
Or perhaps the Pei family girl, relying on being the Crown Princess's sister, bullied the proper Princess Consort so badly. Therefore, they must smear the Crown Princess.
Di Baose sneered, "Do the concubines of Prince Qi's Mansion and Prince Yongning's Mansion even deserve Your Majesty's punishment? They can't even manage themselves, yet they think they have a relationship with the Crown Princess. They're just as despicable as Chen Zhi."
Jing Wei said, "This is treating the Empress like a concubine."
Di Baose said disgustedly, "They're of noble birth! How come they're not noble when they cry?"
Huan Yue thought this sentence was very insightful.
Di Baose said, "They look down on you because you're from a village background, thinking that a village girl should at least have the face of the Marquis of Jianchang's mansion. They also look down on the Earl of Fumin. They look down on this and that all day long."
Chaoyun quickly finished packing and showed the gift list to the Empress.
Huan Yue said, "Give her the piece of cloth we got before."
Chao Yun asked in surprise, "Your Highness, are you referring to the horse that His Highness gifted?"
Huan Yue nodded: "I'm reluctantly parting with it. If she doesn't appreciate its value, it's nothing more than a piece of cloth."
Chao Yun thought to herself, but her actions were swift; she decided to be as dignified as possible.
Di Baose knew that His Highness had sent a bolt of plain silk.
The faux plain satin has a very luxurious subtle pattern.
Huan Yue felt it was suitable for Bai Yueguang, since it wasn't useful for the time being.
Since the Princess Consort of Yongning came dressed in white, let's give her an even prettier one to wear every day.
Di Baose asked excitedly, "What will the Princess Consort of Wu do to her?"
Huan Yue said, "On the surface, we have to deal with her, but we also have to save face for the Prince of Wu's mansion."
Di Baose gloated, "Isn't that too difficult?"
Jing Wei said, "What's so difficult about it? The Princess Consort brought up the Pei family's daughter's matter without mentioning the mourning period. That's just jealousy. It would be best to let the Princess Consort and the Pei family's daughter get along well, and then secretly teach the Pei family's daughter a lesson."
Di Baose understood: "It seems that the wives and concubines are getting along well."
The eunuch came to report: "Prince Yongning intends to take both of the Pei family's daughters as concubines."
Di Baose was surprised. Wasn't this the proper thing to do?
Or perhaps everyone thinks it should be.
However, the Princess Consort must find it very difficult to tolerate.
Ren Zhaoxun said in a low voice, "That Pei Jinnu might just provoke us. She might make it clear that she's the Empress's half-sister, or that there's some connection between them. The Princess Consort might then disregard everything and cause a scene at the Eastern Palace."
Sunny asked curiously, "So the Princess Consort's people sent her? So she can embarrass the Empress and also deal with the Pei family girl."
Princess Yongmu said softly, "In the end, it's because the Princess Consort can't control her own household."
Guo Bing nodded: "She didn't care about the Crown Princess's status either."
Huan Yue said, "Perhaps it's because he's so clueless that he can't control the Prince of Yongning."
Di Baose nodded vigorously, "That's right!"
Her outburst completely humiliated the King of Wu and his wife.
Do you think the Crown Princess is someone who can just cause trouble?
Lu Wen asked curiously, "Does Pei Jinnu dare to use the Princess Consort to provoke the Empress?"
Jing Wei said dismissively, "Hooking up with a man gave her confidence."
Di Baose said unhappily, "Isn't she afraid of ruining herself by acting so hastily?"
Jing Wei thought to herself, it's not enough to just hook the prince; I need to lure him into a ditch.
The fact that even the eldest son of the King of Wu was granted the title of king was already an extraordinary honor.
It wouldn't be too easy to get him.
It has no effect whatsoever.
The Prince of Wu's mansion has already attracted too much attention, and now it wants to provoke the Crown Princess.
Di Baose still loathed Pei Jinnu: "The women of the Pei family are always causing trouble."
Huan Yue nodded, saying that the Pei family's daughter was like Daji reincarnated.
