Princess Xiyue led a large group of people and came over quickly.
He immediately helped Madam Pei up.
"Old General, you have been wronged, get up quickly."
Princess Xiyue respectfully comforted Madam Pei, then turned to Pei Zixuan and sneered, "Noble Lady Jing, you're just a mere noble lady, yet you dare to humiliate and disrespect such a meritorious official as General Pei!"
"Your Pei family is truly eye-opening!"
Pei Zixuan's expression changed.
Although she was a concubine in the harem, she was nominally superior to Princess Xiyue.
But in fact, in front of Xiyue, the eldest princess, even Pei Zixuan, the daughter of the Pei family, and even though she is now a noble lady, her aura is still inferior.
This Princess Xiyue doesn't even give the Queen much face.
How could a noble like me gain even a little respect from her?
Just talking about the Pei family, Pei Zixuan still couldn't control her face and turned dark.
"I am, after all, your Majesty's concubine. They were the first to insult my family..."
"Don't I have the right to seek justice for my family?"
Princess Xiyue: "Fair?"
"As for who is right and who is wrong, how about I make the final decision? First, call the Duke and his wife together and ask them carefully today, okay?"
Pei Liuniang: "No..."
Her low cry startled Pei Zixuan, who immediately lowered her head and glared at her.
Is there really some hidden secret behind this?
However, Pei Liuniang and Pei Shiniang did not dare to look directly into Pei Zixuan's eyes at this moment.
What they said before was naturally biased and exaggerated. How could they really say that they were the ones who provoked others first?
Moreover, the attitude of the uncle and the brother towards Li Qingluo and his grandson is now very friendly.
If they knew that the two of them were the ones who instigated this incident and asked the fifth sister to stand up for the family, I'm afraid they would...
When Pei Zixuan saw the looks on her two cousins' faces, how could she not understand anything?
She suppressed her anger and could only continue to endure Princess Xiyue's constant ridicule.
"Lady Jing, you abused your power for personal gain today, taking advantage of this situation and even bringing people to make a scene outside the Queen Mother's palace."
"As my father's concubine, you disturbed the peace of my grandmother. How can you be so disrespectful? What crime should you be punished for?"
"I never thought that she would appear so respectful, gentle, virtuous, and well-behaved in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, but in private she would be so sinister and vicious."
"You really are a great singer!"
Pei Zixuan's face turned pale.
Who is making so much noise now?
However, if Xiyue were to go and arrange this in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, wouldn't everything she had done since entering the palace be in vain?
Pei Zixuan: "Princess, you misunderstood me. I was only impulsive because of my family. If Li Qingluo hadn't been so aggressive, I wouldn't have..."
Princess Xiyue sneered and rolled her eyes: "Alright!"
"I am not blind, nor am I deaf."
"You were the one who took advantage of your status as a noble lady and bullied others. Miss Li is a living being, can't she put down a few words?"
"We are members of the royal family, and we are not unreasonable lunatics. If everyone abuses their power to oppress others and they can't even speak, is there any justice in this world?"
"Also, stop pretending in front of the Empress Dowager."
"You don't even respect your great-aunt, who is of the same blood as you. I don't believe you can truly respect my royal grandmother!"
After saying that, Princess Xiyue no longer paid any attention to Pei Zixuan, who had an extremely ugly expression on her face.
He supported Madam Pei and Li Qingluo who had just stood up and walked away.
"Let's go back with you."
"Today I will see who dares to bully others!"
Pei Zixuan pinched her palms and was about to leave quickly after they walked away.
Another familiar voice came from behind: "Lady Jing, please stay."
Seeing the person coming, Pei Zixuan tried to smile: "Aunt Fang, why are you out?"
"But did I just... disturb the Empress Dowager?"
Pei Zixuan's eyes were red, and her expression showed that she was forbearing and taking all the grievances and responsibilities she had suffered today on herself.
Aunt Fang just smiled and said, "The Queen Mother did hear the noise and asked this old servant to come out and take a look."
"As you know, Lady Jing, the Queen Mother has been accustomed to keeping quiet for many years and doesn't like lively people and things."
"If I didn't want to accompany His Majesty to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings, I would not easily step out of Ningshou Palace."
"Lady Jing, you have many sisters. If you offend the Queen Mother again, even I, an old servant, will not be able to intercede for you."
"Lady Jing, you don't have to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager for the next two days."
After saying that, Aunt Fang bowed and left Pei Zixuan and the Pei sisters in a daze, then turned and left.
"How could she be someone close to the Queen Mother..."
Pei Liuniang's face was pale and she was terrified.
Pei Zixuan looked at her in disbelief again.
Knowing that it was related to Pei Liuniang again, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
But this was the Empress Dowager's palace after all, so Pei Zixuan could only suppress the rage that was about to drive her crazy, and cursed in a low voice: "Why didn't I know you were such a fool before!"
"What good things have you done for me?"
The three sisters of the Pei family hurried away with the palace maids in embarrassment.
After hearing that everyone had left, the Queen Mother shook her head wearily and sighed, "These girls in the Pei family are truly getting worse with each generation."
Aunt Fang: "Empress Dowager, this young lady from the Li family looks to me like the beautiful young general."
