Why did Huaiyao suddenly start arguing with someone?
Huairou was a little anxious and said to Yuan Yao, "Yao'er, you wait here for your sister. I'll go and take a look first."
After saying that, she was about to run away.
Yuan Yao grabbed her: "Sister Huairou, I'll go with you!"
Huaiyao has a fiery temper. As far as Yuan Yao knows, Huaiyao doesn't get along well with Jiang Chengyan and Xie Zhi, and she especially dislikes Jiang Lanyue...
Jiang Lanyue was sent to Fotai Mountain the day after the Empress Dowager entered the imperial mausoleum, so it's unlikely that Jiang Chengyan and Xie Zhi would argue with her.
So, at this moment, with whom did she have an argument?
Without much thought, Yuan Yao called Tang Yuan and, together with Huai Rou, followed the sound...
Behind the artificial hill, several young ladies dressed in fine clothes were gathered together.
From afar, Yuan Yao saw Huai Yao in a red dress, holding a whip in her hand, one end of which dragged on the ground.
Opposite her stood a pretty young girl in a blue dress with cinched sleeves, her back to the lotus pond. She was slightly shorter than Huaiyao, but her presence was no less imposing.
"Bai Wantao..."
Huairou stared at the girl, momentarily stunned.
Yuan Yao lowered her voice and asked curiously, "Sister Huairou, do you know her?"
Huairou nodded and was about to go over.
At this moment, Yuan Yao said, "Why don't we see what's going on first?"
To mediate a fight, you need to know the cause and effect before you can effectively intervene.
“Yao’er makes sense.” Huairou nodded, and the two stood behind the lotus leaves, watching from a distance.
Then Bai Wantao said, "Princess Huaiyao, could it be that you really consider Consort Lin your own mother and no longer recognize the Bai family?"
Consort Zhao of Yonghe Palace is your biological mother.
The Bai family of Changdu Marquisate, that's your maternal family...
Even though you are a princess, I am still your cousin. I bowed to you, and you wouldn't even call me "cousin"?
Or is it that... with the Imperial Concubine's backing, you've abandoned even your birth mother and maternal relatives?
"Smack!"
A heavy whip lashed the ground.
Huaiyao's face flushed with anger: "Bai Wantao, how dare you! You're not allowed to speak ill of my mother!"
Seeing that Huaiyao was angry, Bai Wantao's tone became even more cheerful.
She put her hands behind her back and smiled, revealing her teeth: "Huaiyao, why are you so angry?"
Did I say something wrong that touched a nerve?
Seeing the villains prosper, Huaiyao could no longer tolerate it.
There are very few people in the world who can make her suffer.
This white peach counts as one!
Bai Wantao is the only legitimate granddaughter of the Marquis of Changdu. She was spoiled and unruly from a young age.
The Marquis of Changdu was one of the supporters when the emperor ascended the throne earlier and was granted the title of Marquis. Now, his status is not low.
Moreover, the Marquis's mansion produced a Consort Zhao.
Consort Zhao gave birth to Princess Huaiyao, and then made a mistake, so Huaiyao was raised by Consort Lin from a very young age...
Huaiyao had no feelings for Consort Zhao.
She even loathed Consort Zhao.
Consort Lin, however, treated her as her own daughter.
The kindness of raising and nurturing is greater than the kindness of giving birth.
In Huaiyao's heart, and even in everyone else's eyes, Huaiyao was Consort Lin's biological daughter...
Huaiyao gripped the whip tightly, glaring at Bai Wantao: "You don't need to bring up my background!"
Even if my father comes, even if Consort Zhao stands in front of me, I am still Consort Lin's daughter!
"Your Bai family is all bad!"
"Is that so?" Bai Wantao took a step closer to Huaiyao: "Princess Huaiyao, even if the Bai family is worthless, don't you still have a portion of the Bai family's blood flowing through your veins?"
Faced with Bai Wantao's repeated provocations, Huaiyao's face turned gloomy: "I've said it before, I'm not a member of the Bai family!"
The joints creaked and groaned.
Huaiyao has reached the point of needing to endure.
The thing she hates most in her life is bringing up her biological mother!
If it weren't for Consort Lin, she probably wouldn't have lived to this age...
The whip tightened its grip even more in his hand.
At this moment, Bai Wantao smiled faintly and said provocatively, "Are you angry? That's right, Your Highness..."
"Thump..."
The sound of water was exceptionally loud.
"Late peach!"
"Miss Bai..."
"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
For a moment, the young ladies by the artificial hill exclaimed in surprise.
Huairou rushed over immediately: "Huaiyao!"
Huaiyao stared blankly at the person who had fallen into the water.
She glanced at the person struggling in the water, then at her own whip, before finally looking at Huairou: "Royal Sister..."
"Your Highness is here, it's alright." Huairou reached out and supported her arms, patting them gently.
Huaiyao was so angry that her pupils became unfocused.
When she saw the person in the water, her pupils contracted sharply, and she exclaimed, "Royal sister, it wasn't me..."
Huairou, her eyes red, remained silent and gently patted her.
Yuan Yao called for Tangyuan before coming over.
In the water, Bai Wantao was still splashing around.
On the shore, the elegantly dressed housekeepers all looked at them.
Yuan Yao lifted the hem of her skirt and walked over, her sweet little voice sounding somewhat stern: "Aren't you going to go and call for help! Are you waiting for someone to drown?"
At this moment, the two little girls lifted their skirts and cried out in a panic, "Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
Yuan Yao: "..."
She looked at Huairou and Huaiyao: "Don't say anything, wait for me!"
After speaking, she ran quickly toward the door.
Just then, two young eunuchs passed by outside the door.
Without thinking, Yuan Yao exclaimed, "Someone has fallen into the pool! Come quick and save them!"
Originally, she had brought her bodyguards with her.
However, at this time, it was inconvenient for the secret guards to show themselves.
Moreover, the pool wasn't very deep.
Upon hearing this, the little eunuch exclaimed, "Someone has fallen into the water! This is terrible!"
The two rushed in, jumped into the pool, and pulled the person out.
Bai Wantao had been through a lot and was now covered in mud.
His hair was disheveled, his clothes were dirty, and he looked utterly disheveled.
Moreover, she couldn't swim and drank a lot of the dirty water from the pool...
The young eunuch pulled the person ashore, and Yuan Yao calmly ordered, "Quickly, go to the banquet and summon the imperial physician who is attending the feast!"
"This servant will go immediately!"
The two young eunuchs were soaking wet and covered in mud, and they were about to run away.
Yuan Yao called out to one of them: "You stay."
The young eunuch wiped his face, puzzled. "Yes."
Yuan Yao glanced at the barely breathing Bai Wantao, then looked at the elegantly dressed little girls by the artificial hill: "What just happened here?"
The little girls huddled together, thinking that Huairou and Yuanyao had just arrived.
One of the little girls in the pink dress whispered, "It was...it was Princess Huaiyao who pushed Wan Tao into the water..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Huaiyao trembled with anger. "I didn't push her! She fell in by herself!"
The girl in pink could only shrink back.
At this moment, a girl dressed in a white dress with the same hairstyle as Yuan Yao stepped forward and gracefully bowed.
After bowing, she spoke gently: "Princess Huaiyao was in a fit of anger just now, which is why she accidentally pushed Wantao. It was not the princess's fault, so the princess need not be sad."
