Should Huaiyao apologize to Bai Wantao in front of everyone?
A princess, admitting to pushing a subject's daughter and apologizing?
Huaiyao immediately flew into a rage: "You wish!"
Bai Wantao straightened her skirt and looked at Huaiyao: "Princess Huaiyao, you and I share the same blood. We are sisters. Do we really have to make such a scene?"
"I'd rather avoid you than see you!" Huaiyao said angrily. "But you insisted on coming here to cause trouble!"
"So, Princess, you admit that you pushed me?" Bai Wantao looked up at her.
When Huaiyao met Bai Wantao, he immediately became tongue-tied and his eyes turned red with anger.
Huairou gripped her hand tightly, looked at Bai Wantao, and said in a gentle voice with a hint of coldness, "Miss Bai!"
Bai Wantao hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
At this moment, Yuan Yao spoke up: "Miss Bai, just now, weren't you also being just as aggressive towards Huai Yao?"
Suddenly questioned by a little toddler, Bai Wantao frowned: "What is the princess saying? Why don't I understand?"
"Don't you know perfectly well what I'm saying, Miss Bai?" Yuan Yao looked at her calmly. "Is it necessary to say some things out loud?"
Pretending to be crazy won't work.
The issues of today must be resolved eventually.
Anyone who dares to bully the princess must be prepared to bear the consequences!
Just then, a series of footsteps approached.
A young eunuch, panting, said, "It's just ahead!"
The imperial physician has arrived.
At every grand banquet, there would be imperial physicians on duty.
As soon as the young eunuch arrived at the banquet, he summoned someone.
Accompanying the imperial physician were the Empress and Consort Lin.
Upon seeing the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, the group of little girls were startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress! Greetings, Imperial Concubine!"
No need for formalities.
The Empress walked ahead, her gaze sweeping around before settling on Bai Wantao, who was lying on the ground.
She said to the palace maid behind her, "Help Miss Bai up."
Just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman dressed in fine clothes, her head adorned with jewels, stepped forward from behind him.
She glanced at Bai Wantao, bowed to Huairou, Huaiyao, and Yuanyao, and then asked, "What happened?"
"Wan Tao, with the imperial carriage ahead, your behavior is extremely improper and unseemly!"
Upon seeing her mother, Bai Wantao's nose twitched: "Mother, I didn't mean to..."
The woman took a cloak from her personal maid, draped it over Bai Wantao, and tied the straps.
The large cloak completely covered Bai Wantao's body with mud.
Unfortunately, the lotus pond was full of silt, and raising both flowers and fish in it produced a foul stench.
The stench on his body was impossible to hide...
The Empress asked, "I heard that you had a dispute here? What exactly happened?"
Madam Bai looked coldly at Bai Wantao: "Wantao, you come and tell Her Majesty the Empress what mistake you have made!"
Bai Wantao flinched at the shout.
Beside her, Consort Lin, who had remained silent and indifferent, finally turned her head and gave Madam Bai a cold look.
Bai Wantao, wrapped in a cloak, had her arrogance somewhat suppressed. She said, "Mother, I haven't seen Princess Huaiyao for a long time. Since we've met today, I'd like to greet her."
Her mother originally came from my Changdu Marquis's residence, so I thought I should get closer to her...
To my surprise, the princess got very angry when she heard what I said and even shoved her daughter...
"It's also because my daughter's body is weak and she couldn't keep her balance, which is why she fell into the lotus pond and got covered in mud..."
As she spoke, Bai Wantao's eyes reddened slightly, and she gripped her arm.
"Such a thing is true?" The Empress's expression showed slight surprise.
Upon hearing this, Madam Bai immediately knelt on the ground.
"What is Your Majesty doing?" The Empress raised her hand to help her up, her eyes already fixed on Consort Lin.
Lady Bai knelt before the Empress, then turned to Consort Lin: "Your Highness, it is my fault for failing to properly educate my daughter..."
As she spoke, she scolded Bai Wantao: "Wantao, kneel down now!"
Bai Wantao looked unconvinced.
Helpless, her knees buckled, and she knelt down next to her mother.
Consort Lin glanced coldly at the Bai family mother and daughter, then looked at Huaiyao: "Huaiyao."
"Mother..."
Huaiyao couldn't hold back her emotions the moment she saw Consort Lin.
In the past, no matter how arrogant and unrestrained she was, in front of Consort Lin, she was just a child.
Consort Lin beckoned: "Come here."
Huairou then released Huaiyao and patted her back: "Go on."
Huaiyao, carrying the whip, walked with her head down to Consort Lin's side and said in a tearful voice, "Mother."
"Did you push him into the lotus pond?" Consort Lin's voice remained indifferent.
Hearing this, Huaiyao looked up with tears in her eyes: "Mother, don't even you believe me?"
Consort Lin frowned, her tone growing even colder: "I ask you, did you push the person into the lotus pond?"
"No!" Huaiyao shook her head desperately: "I didn't push her! She was standing in front of me, I was very angry, and I don't know how she fell in!"
"Mother, believe me, I didn't push her!"
Consort Lin neither nodded nor shook her head, but turned to Madam Bai and Bai Wantao: "Huaiyao said that she did not push the person."
Bai Wantao panicked.
She had always heard that the Crown Prince's birth mother, Consort Lin, was usually aloof and unapproachable, always wearing a cold expression, and even the Emperor treated her with deference...
Today, I finally met Bai Wantao.
Bai Wantao's face turned slightly pale, and she dared not utter a sound.
She looked at Gu Yucha for help.
Gu Yucha seemed not to have noticed her at all, and turned her head slightly to look at the flowers in the pond.
Bai Wantao gritted her teeth.
Consort Lin lifted her eyelids and took in Bai Wantao's expression.
She had seen many of these tricks before she even got married.
What's more, everyone here is a group of children.
The Marquis of Changdu's residence...
Consort Lin noted down the name.
Then, Consort Lin spoke coldly: "Miss Bai, is that it?"
Bai Wantao looked up, her voice trembling slightly: "This subject is here."
She couldn't help but exclaim: Consort Lin's aura was truly overwhelming!
The powerful Consort Lin glanced coldly at Bai Wantao, who was kneeling at her feet, and said indifferently, "I shouldn't interfere too much in the squabbles between children."
However, children should be properly educated while they are still young.
You are a subject of the Marquis of Changdu's household, while Huaiyao is the Emperor's daughter.
If I remember correctly, I have only given birth to one Crown Prince and one Princess Huaiyao.
How could I not remember when I gave birth to an older sister for Huaiyao? And now it's my turn to call her sister?
Huaiyao's blood-related older sister is Princess Huairou.
There is a distinction between superior and inferior; the ruler is superior, and the subject is inferior. Do not forget your place, disregard the rules, or commit insubordination!
The Imperial Concubine is majestic and powerful!
Yuan Yao looked at Consort Lin and admired her from the bottom of his heart for the first time.
On the ground, Bai Wantao stared wide-eyed in shock.
Just now, as soon as Consort Lin entered the lotus garden, her expression was indifferent, and her gaze seemed to be fixed on the lotus flowers in the pond.
Unexpectedly, Consort Lin overheard her words, which used Huaiyao's background to exonerate herself...
Moreover, Consort Lin actually said in public that Huaiyao was her son!
Consort Lin is going to offend the Marquis of Changdu's residence and Consort Zhao of Yonghe Palace for Huaiyao's sake!
Today, once Consort Lin's words are spread, Princess Huaiyao and the Marquis of Changdu's mansion will have no further connection!
It turns out that Consort Lin dotes on Princess Huaiyao so much!
It turns out that Consort Lin's feelings for Huaiyao were not just for show...
unwise!
Looking at Bai Wantao, whose face was deathly pale and whose expression was panicked, Consort Lin lowered her eyes, touched the jade bracelet on her wrist, and asked coldly, "I ask you, did Huaiyao push you into the water?"
"I'm not in a hurry, Miss Bai. You should think carefully before you answer."
