The Queen Mother smiled again: "Yes, I have spoiled the fun. How about I drink a glass as punishment?"
Li Qingluo came to Madam Pei and saw that the drinking party was still going on.
He wanted to persuade her to drink, but instead the palace maid beside the Queen Mother came over and filled the wine glass in front of him.
Mrs. Pei knew that her precious child could only tolerate a little alcohol.
He falls down after just one glass.
Thunder can't wake him up.
They looked up and wanted to beg for mercy, but saw the empress dowager staring at them with a smile on her face.
This is the wine given by the Queen Mother, and Li Qingluo has to drink it.
Madam Pei squeezed Li Qingluo's small hand under the table and said, "Drink it. Grandmother is here, so just a small sip will be fine."
Li Qingluo could only bite the bullet and really just took a sip.
The Queen Mother stopped looking at the two of them and turned to talk to Princess Xiyue.
After a while, the Queen Mother said she was tired and asked everyone in the hall to leave.
Li Qingluo stood up with her dizzy head. When she bid farewell to the Queen Mother, she clearly felt a vicious gaze on her, as if he was looking at her unscrupulously.
When he looked up, he saw a deep coldness in the empress dowager's eyes, which had always been kind.
In the blink of an eye, the empress dowager returned to her ordinary and kind appearance as an old lady.
It was as if the glance just now was just an illusion caused by Li Qingluo's dizziness.
With the support of Nanny Zheng, Li Qingluo followed her grandmother out of the hall.
Before the grandfather and grandson left the garden of the Empress Dowager's palace, they ran into Concubine Jing and her two cousins who were coming towards them.
Pei Liuniang, Pei Shiniang.
Li Qingluo and her grandmother knelt to greet her. "Greetings to the noble lady Jing. May the noble lady and her young master be blessed with good health."
Pei Zixuan slowly walked up to Li Qingluo and Old Madam Pei.
She said nothing, but just stared coldly at the old man and the young boy on the ground.
Pei Liuniang's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.
He thought coldly in his heart: Aren't you two grandparents very arrogant? In the small courtyard where we stayed this afternoon, you wanted to trample the entire Pei family under your feet and humiliate them!
When you are in front of a noble lady, don’t you have to kneel down like a dog?
Pei Liuniang fanned the flames as soon as she opened her mouth: "Fifth sister, it's her."
"First, he humiliated my aunt in the courtyard, and then he ignored your order. He doesn't even take you and our entire Pei family seriously."
Old Madam Pei raised her head and looked at Pei Liuniang coldly.
Pei Liuniang couldn't help but shudder.
Pei Zixuan: "Did she say something wrong?"
"I heard that Madam Pei and Miss Li, you two, the grandparents and grandchildren, teamed up today and not only scolded my father and mother, but also started fighting?"
"Madam, is this how you raise your granddaughter?"
"Your Xiuli General's Mansion has such great family traditions and rules!"
"Since that's the case, I will punish you two, grandfather and grandson, by making you kneel here for an hour today as punishment for your serious crime of disrespecting me!"
Li Qingluo slowly raised his head: "My dear lady, are you saying that your Pei family can use your status to humiliate others, and that others must not fight back or retaliate?"
"Or do you, Lady Jing, think that the people around the Empress Dowager are not as noble as your Sixth Sister, so I should disobey the Empress Dowager's order and meet you first, Lady Jing, to show respect?"
"So, in the eyes of the noble lady, the Empress Dowager is not as noble as you."
A hint of panic flashed in Pei Zixuan's eyes.
She had no idea how this matter was related to the Queen Mother.
She first glanced at Pei Liuniang.
Pei Liuniang waved her hands to indicate that this was not the case.
Although Pei Zixuan noticed something was wrong, she felt that it was all just Li Qingluo's sophistry.
This woman was able to survive from their Pei family dungeon and was even involved with Prince Su. How could she be a good person?
Her eyes immediately turned fierce, and she shouted sternly, "What are you talking about? When have I ever been so disobedient and disrespectful to the Empress Dowager as you claim!"
"How dare you slander me? I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"I'm giving you a lecture, and you still dare to use specious arguments and sophistry to suppress me!"
"Someone, go and slap her in the face!"
"Hit hard—"
The nanny behind Pei Zixuan rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward.
The pride in Pei Liuniang and Pei Shiniang's eyes was tinged with excitement.
Li Qingluo stood up first and held his grandmother behind him.
Then he stared into Pei Zixuan's eyes, his eyes like sharp blades stained with frost.
This actually shocked the ruthless Concubine Jing.
However, before Mrs. Pei could finish her sentence, “Stop—”
Another voice shouted from behind: "Lady Jing, you are so arrogant!"
"This is the Queen Mother's palace. You are not allowed to act so recklessly here!"
