Ren Fengyi, Shanni, and others tidied up the surroundings, making sure it looked presentable.
I trampled a few peonies, but if I prop them up, they should still be able to bloom.
Two earthenware pots overturned, leaving mud all over the ground. The cucumber seedlings should still be able to grow; I'll wait to use the cucumbers for face masks.
If the shed breaks, we can just build another one; it's not a big deal.
A large group of eunuchs surrounded a large group of ladies and young women, which was less respectable than a cucumber seedling.
Pei Jinnu, Pei Huanjiao, and Pei Huanfeng were all crammed together, so they didn't get a chance to shine.
Besides, seeing Yue Nan smashed on the ground was too pitiful.
Yue Nan is the eldest granddaughter of the Grand Princess, and she is also sixteen years old. Although she is not as famous as Di Baose, she is not bad either.
But Pei Huanyue dared to make a move in front of the Grand Princess, and Pei Jinnu felt that she was not in a position to be intimidated.
Yue Nan was dressed even more lavishly than the Crown Princess. Although her crown was askew during the commotion, it wasn't as bad as her face being so distorted now. She was too miserable to cry.
Huan Yue wasn't dressed up today, just in his everyday clothes in the palace. But simple was enough.
Even with how the Crown Prince's wife, Lady Yin, was dressed, she still managed to get roasted by her.
Di Baose, on the other hand, dressed up beautifully and overshadowed Yin Shi.
Huan Yue, with his overwhelming presence, silenced Yin Shi: "It's the adults' problem if the child isn't well cared for. The Wu Prince's Mansion doesn't care; they're just rushing to cause trouble for the Crown Prince. This is their own grandson's life!"
Di Baose had a sudden inspiration: "Her Majesty sent the saplings with good intentions, yet you all use these immovable and mute saplings to criticize her. How shameless!"
Huan Yue said, "No matter what the Crown Prince sends you, it will never satisfy you, unless he gives you the Crown Prince himself! The Crown Prince is right here, he can't give it away, so come and get it yourself if you dare! From now on, you can only dream of the Crown Prince sending you a single water spinach!"
The maidservant asked timidly, "Where are the elm seeds?"
Huan Yue angrily replied, "No!"
Madam Yin was furious: "Do you know what you're saying?"
Di Baose retorted, "You've already barged into the East Palace, do you know what you're doing?"
The Grand Princess of Nankang mustered all her strength and roared, "Pei Huanyue, how dare you!"
Huan Yue rushed over, dragged the beautiful palace maid over, and threw her to the eunuch: "Send her to the Emperor."
The eunuch's heart skipped a beat. "No way?"
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it shall be sent to the Holy Court for judgment.
The Grand Princess was so angry that she fainted.
Emboldened, a group of people shouted, "Grand Princess!"
"The Crown Princess has angered the Grand Princess to the point of fainting!"
"You brat!" The Pei family members finally reached Pei Huanyue.
Huan Yue has already gone over. He pulled out the Grand Princess.
Pei Jinnu, Pei Huanfeng, and the others tried to stop Pei Huanyue, but just one look from her made them feel their scalps tingle.
Huan Yue threw the Grand Princess to the ground, not far from Yue Nan, and called to the palace maid, "Water."
Yes! There's water for washing hands over there, so the maid brought a basin over.
Huan Yue took it and splashed it on the face of the Grand Princess of Nankang.
"Xi Lang!" the Grand Princess screamed!
When she saw Pei Huanyue, she scrambled over haphazardly and cried out, "Give me back my Xilang!"
Huan Yue handed the basin to the maid, then took a handkerchief from her to wipe his hands, and asked casually, "That young lady?"
The Grand Princess nodded hastily: "Give Xi Lang back to me immediately!"
Huan Yue smiled, his normally dignified face suddenly revealing a sinister air.
The others seemed to understand. A chill ran down their spines!
Xi Lang couldn't possibly be a woman; the Grand Princess of Nankang already has a husband.
Although such a thing is not unusual, it is happening right before our eyes, especially when it is brought to the Crown Prince's Palace. The matter is getting increasingly serious.
Pei Jinnu, Pei Huanfeng, and the others were simply no match for this situation.
Look, the sixty-year-old Grand Princess was splashed with a bucket of water by the Crown Princess, and she still has her eyes on that Xi Lang.
Therefore, the Grand Princess did not faint from anger.
She couldn't bear to part with Xi Lang.
Before, a group of people were shouting, but when they met the Crown Princess's bright eyes, they felt sorry for her.
Those who came today, apart from the Crown Princess of Wu, were mostly the wives and young ladies from the Grand Princess's side who were relatively idle, plus the useless members of the Pei family.
The Pei family has seven young ladies, but compared to Pei Huanyue, none of them can even lift their heads.
Several palace maids helped the Grand Princess up, to give her dignity.
Even if she keeps a group of male concubines, it's not the Crown Princess's decision to make. It's just that the matter happened in the Eastern Palace, which offended the Crown Princess.
To regain control of the conversation, Lady Yin said to the Grand Princess, "She is the Crown Prince's great-aunt."
Huan Yue said coldly, "The Crown Prince is the heir apparent of the country, not someone's grandson! The Eastern Palace isn't yours yet, you're not worthy of it!"
Yin was so angry she nearly fainted!
Huan Yue saw that she was still persistent! If he couldn't deal with the Grand Princess today, he would at least skin the Prince of Wu alive!
They thought it was just about women?
This is the Crown Prince's affair, not a woman's business.
A palace attendant came looking for them.
Huan Yue shouted, "Speak!"
The eunuch reported, "The King of Wu sent someone to say that the grandmother of the Princess Consort of Huayuan County had someone secretly plant that sapling, and the child will recover."
Huan Yue sneered: "A perfectly good child, if the Prince of Wu doesn't care, someone else will. An innocent tree that the Prince of Wu's mansion looks down on, someone else will respect. Does the Prince of Wu think that if the Crown Princess comes and makes a scene, he can then come and talk to her, and I should thank him? How shrewd!"
Di Baose chimed in, "If you take good care of the child, he will naturally be fine. It's no wonder that the Crown Princess has already taken care of several children."
The maidservant added, "There are four legitimate and illegitimate children, and three county princesses."
Di Baose said, "Are all these children easy to take care of? Is the feng shui of the Wu Prince's Mansion really that good?"
Huan Yue shouted, "The King of Wu is willing to use his own grandson to insult the Crown Prince. He must give me an explanation even if this goes to the Emperor!"
Di Baose supports this: "The Crown Prince has only been taking a concubine for less than a month, yet the Wu Prince's residence is already in such a hurry!"
Huan Yue felt particularly wronged: "Does the Crown Prince have to pray to the gods every day to bless that child with an immeasurably noble future? Otherwise, it's all my fault for harming him?"
It means that the child shouldn't die, even if it's just a cold or cough, otherwise it's all her fault.
The Yin family was already unable to withstand the attack.
Another young lady said timidly, "Lin'er really did make a fuss for several days."
Huan Yue asked, "So you're convinced it's me? Are you deceiving the sage by saying he has no son or grandson? Or is the King of Wu living in constant fear because he's done something wrong? Does he become like a frightened bird at the slightest disturbance?"
Chaoyun asked, "Are you questioning the Empress's character?"
Even the young lady of the Fu family couldn't withstand it.
Pei Huanfeng held back for a long time, trying to remain calm: "The Crown Princess just came to ask a question."
Huan Yue sneered: "She hasn't even entered the Eastern Palace yet, and you're already in such a hurry to curry favor? Have you finished copying 'Rules for Women' and 'Admonitions for Women'?"
Di Baose said, "They must not have copied it properly, otherwise how would they dare to break into the East Palace?"
Pei Jinnu held firm: "We've come to see Your Majesty."
Di Baose asked, "Are you worthy?"
Pei Jinnu opened her mouth.
Di Baose shouted, "Slap him!"
A group of palace maids and eunuchs came over and dragged Pei Huanfeng, Pei Jinnu, and the young lady from the Fu family to slap them.
A row of people were kneeling there, slapping each other across the face; the slapping was terrifying.
Princess Nankang tidied up.
The group could only rely on her to lead them out alive.
Di Baose sneered, wondering if the Grand Princess herself could even get out alive.
