The Fifth Princess's voice was exceptionally cold, and as soon as she finished speaking, the gossiping women turned pale.
The Shang Kingdom has always had a strict hierarchy, and the ranking of men in the court determined the status and position of women in the inner quarters.
Now, because of the floods in Nancheng and the plague in Xucheng, the Emperor has made an exception and conferred upon Chen Siyuan the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, which is enough to show Chen Siyuan's status in the Shang Kingdom.
At this time, openly framing someone could lead to many deaths.
Besides, the General's Mansion is no ordinary place, and Qiao Yuchen is not an easy master to talk to. If you frame Chen Siyuan here, who knows how many people he will slit in the middle of the night when Qiao Yuchen comes back.
These noble ladies, who started causing trouble before even figuring out what was going on, offended Qiao Yuchen before they were even married. If Qiao Yuchen takes this to heart, these noble ladies might be forced to marry those filthy beggars one by one.
Qiao Yuchen is inherently unreliable; he's capable of doing something like this.
Chen Siyuan was grateful for the Fifth Princess's righteous words. Addressing the trembling noble ladies who were bowing low, she said in a calm voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you understand?"
"Yes! The First-Rank Lady is right to reprimand you!"
Chen Siyuan didn't want to say anything more to these people, so she walked towards the Dowager Consort.
At a glance, you can see two people passionately entangled on a carpet-like ground in a slightly elevated flower field.
The man was very burly and had his back to them, so they couldn't see what he looked like. But at a glance, his clothes were clearly those of a palace guard, though others might not recognize them.
this.....
The expressions of the several masters in the palace changed upon seeing this.
These are the palace's secret guards. Whose are they?
Princess Honglian was quite alarmed when she saw this.
She knew exactly who she was sending out.
She thought she had succeeded, but when she saw Chen Siyuan appear, she knew things had gone wrong.
At this moment, the guard didn't need to see his face to know that he was one of their own. Who was the woman under the guard?
Just then, the woman, slightly annoyed by the man's stop, raised her head slightly. Her face was directly facing them, her eyes alluring and her cheeks flushed. It was none other than Da Yu'er, the head maidservant of Princess Honglian.
There's no need to say anything now. Some of the masters in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, while others turned pale with anger.
Princess Honglian strained her eyes to see what was happening before her.
How could this happen? How could this be?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
She set up this scheme today to completely ruin Chen Siyuan, but she never expected that her foolproof plan would have such a huge flaw.
Now that the main character has changed, those secret guards she sent out are probably...
Thinking about it, Princess Honglian took several steps back in fear.
In the past, when something happened, it had nothing to do with the people around him. But now that Da Yu'er's appearance has appeared in front of everyone, he can no longer sever his ties with this matter.
Everything was now out of her control, and she panicked, unsure how to react.
The hatred in her heart prompted her to turn her head and look at Chen Siyuan beside her.
It's her.
She did all of this.
She wanted to completely destroy Chen Siyuan, so she used this method to destroy herself.
In her extreme anger, she realized the crux of the matter.
Chen Siyuan was nearly killed by Princess Qi Ya in Nancheng, so she clearly had no one around her. The fact that she's causing such a commotion now is obviously...
Qiao Yuchen, who had already gone to the border, actually left his people to that bitch Chen Siyuan.
Qiao Yuchen, as the commander-in-chief, was certainly aware of the dangers of the frontier. Knowing the risks, he still gave the best weapon to this despicable woman.
On what grounds?
Why?
Is she, a noble princess, really inferior to a country woman from a small town?
She was unwilling to accept it; she couldn't accept it.
She had never failed like this in all her years of work. She was so angry and didn't know how to end things that she fainted from anger.
Consort Qing's heart sank to the ground instantly.
For a moment, everyone fell silent except for the two who were still entangled in the flowers.
Everyone living in the big melting pot of Beijing knows a thing or two.
Seeing this, everyone probably has a general idea in their heart.
Knowing about the royal scandal, how could they possibly survive?
Fortunately, there were too many people; even if they wanted to kill, they wouldn't kill so many.
Everyone looked down at the soles of their feet.
He secretly resented that his prayers came at the worst possible time.
Many people who were coerced by Princess Honglian felt a sense of relief.
Finally, Princess Honglian's disguise was exposed. Even if she manages to escape by chance, her reputation will probably be completely ruined.
Perhaps, Princess Honglian, who has been a powerful figure in the capital for many years, will be married off to a distant place.
Thinking of this, everyone was very happy, but at this moment, they dared not show it.
"Guards! Remove all unauthorized personnel!" The Empress Dowager's face was extremely grim.
She always valued sincerity.
Today is a day for praying for blessings, such an important event, and yet someone has done something so disgraceful.
As a concubine, she had seen more than anyone else in the palace over the years. She originally thought that no one would cause trouble on such an important day, but she never expected to be so proven wrong.
Today's incident has completely ruined the prayer ceremony. These younger generations are using the prayer ceremony to cause trouble. Do they really think she, the Dowager Consort, is made of clay?
Upon receiving the order, the palace servants hurriedly shooed away the noblewomen who were watching from all around.
The Empress Dowager was furious, and Consort Qing's face also turned somewhat pale.
The palace servants became more efficient, and soon the surroundings became quieter.
The Dowager Consort coldly looked at the Noble Consort Qing beside her, "Someone, escort Princess Honglian back to the palace." As she spoke, she glanced indifferently at Chen Siyuan standing beside her.
Consort Qing shuddered.
The women present had all survived life-and-death experiences in the palace to get to where they are today.
A shrewd person who doesn't know how to use their heart can easily see that this mess is probably related to Princess Honglian.
Her heart sank.
This matter can't be kept secret today. When we get to the palace, I don't know how to face the Emperor.
Thinking of the Emperor, her heart sank. She hoped that, out of consideration for their father-daughter relationship, he would not be so cruel as to kill her daughter.
With a trembling heart, he ordered his men to take Princess Honglian away.
After the Empress Dowager and the others left, the previously quiet scene slowly began to stir.
The noble ladies who had originally been banished far away saw that their masters in the palace had all left, and one by one they followed suit.
Today's prayers have turned into a joke.
Who would want to stay in this place?
Even the entire Heian-ji Temple will likely be quiet for a long time because of what happened today.
Chen Siyuan and the Fifth Princess gradually walked behind.
