Chapter 136 Slap Twenty

Baili Ning just nodded to Tan Xiaoyun with a slight smile on her face.

The other noble ladies seemed to be inspired by Tan Xiaoyun and immediately rushed to get close to Baili Ning.

One said she wanted to invite Baili Ning to participate in the polo match, another said she wanted to invite Baili Ning to go shopping together, and some wanted to introduce their unmarried brothers to Baili Ning.

For a while, the palace was in a commotion, and Baili Ning was surrounded by noble ladies like a star and the moon, unable to move.

Xia Miaoyuan sat with her legs crossed, grabbed a piece of jujube mud mountain medicine cake and nibbled it slowly, watching the scene in front of her with interest.

[Hehehe, this guy is so snobbish. You were just surrounding Feng Panpan and flattering her.]

[Feng Panpan got angry at her cousin and insulted her, but none of you stood up to speak for her. You even followed Feng Panpan and insulted her cousin as a country girl.]

[It's been less than half an hour, and you immediately changed your face and competed to flatter your cousin.]

What! Feng Panpan actually took the lead in humiliating Baili Ning just now? !

The queen frowned.

"Ahem, everyone!" The queen cleared her throat.

Hearing the queen's voice, the group of girls realized that they had lost their composure, and immediately stopped talking, holding their breath and standing in front of the queen.

"I will not pursue the matter of embroidery any more. However, I cannot sit idly by and watch the unwarranted humiliation of Miss Baili in the palace just now."

Feng Panpan shuddered when she heard the Queen say the word "humiliation".

Didn't the Queen just come in when they were arguing about embroidery? How did she know that she had humiliated Baili Ning?

She was shivering all over, and a layer of fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of her forehead. The one

she had just taken the lead in humiliating was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei, the cousin of the current emperor.

The flatterers who had previously knelt on the ground and begged Baili Ning for forgiveness were all pale and terrified.

The Queen raised her eyes and glared at Feng Panpan: "Bailining is the descendant of a founding hero of Daxia, a relative of the late Queen Mother Baili, and your Majesty's cousin. She is the eldest daughter of Duke Wei."

"You humiliate her, which is to humiliate Queen Mother Baili, the Emperor, Duke Wei, and the founding hero!"

With a "thump", Feng Panpan rolled and crawled to her knees in front of the Queen.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know it just now. I really didn't know it!" Feng Panpan kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The flatterers kneeling beside her also kowtowed vigorously.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

"Ms. Feng humiliated Miss Baili for no reason. She will be slapped 20 times and forced to reflect on her mistakes for a month. The others will be slapped 10 times and forced to reflect on their mistakes for a month!" the Queen said coldly.

Feng Panpan and the other noble ladies raised their heads in disbelief.

They did kneel down and beg for mercy, and they knew they had caused trouble, but they were just pretending.

After all, today is the Empress Dowager's 50th birthday, a special day. They originally expected that the Queen would at most scold them and talk nonsense.

As long as they acted well enough in the scene of begging for mercy, the Queen would not really do anything to them.

In other words, I apologized, I begged for mercy, and I gave you face and gave Baili Ning face. As

for you, you know when to stop and cooperate, giving us a few words of advice without any pain or itch, and then the matter is over.

After all, we are noble ladies from a famous family, with noble status, what can they do to us?

I never thought that the queen would actually dare to slap us in the face at the palace banquet.

Is she still the same queen who was submissive, kind and easy to bully?

Then, Xiaoluzi came with a few eunuchs and slapped us.

Because from the time the queen gave the order to the eunuchs starting to beat, the process happened too quickly, and the ladies didn't have time to react at all, and were pinned to the ground and slapped.

[Oh! Mother is so domineering! It's so refreshing! Roar! 】

Instantly, cries for mercy and shouts of pain were heard one after another.

After a moment, Feng Panpan's face was already red and swollen.

The injuries of the other noble ladies were slightly healed, but their faces were also full of red slap marks.

"Empress! How dare you hit me like this! I'll tell my grandmother and see how she'll deal with you!" Feng Panpan covered her face, glared at the queen, and spoke vaguely.

The queen pretended not to hear anything, and asked Sang Qi and Yingxue to hold Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin respectively, and she took Bai Lining's hand and walked out of the hall.

At this time, the banquet had already started, and everyone was wondering why the queen and the noble ladies were not there.

Xia Zhengqi calmly sent someone to call the Queen, while he took up the wine glass and took the lead in toasting the Queen Mother.

The Queen held her daughter and sat back at the banquet table, her face still indifferent.

Bai Lining sat next to the Queen, her face also calm.

Xia Zhengqi glanced at the Queen, very confused.

At this time, Feng Panpan rushed in.

She wore a veil on her face to cover her injuries.

[Oh my God! This idiot is really confused! Just go home quietly.]

Xia Miaoyuan looked at Feng Panpan coldly, guessing that she would definitely complain next.

As expected, Feng Panpan walked up to the Empress Dowager angrily, whispered a few words, and even lifted her veil to show her red and swollen face.

The Empress Dowager immediately glared.

"Empress! Why did you beat Panpan like this?" "

Panpan is the granddaughter of the Duke of Huguo and the granddaughter of the Jiang family. Moreover, today is my birthday. You beat her to slap my face, the Duke of Huguo and the Jiang family!"

The Empress Dowager's voice echoed throughout the hall.

The guests put down their chopsticks one after another and looked at the Empress Dowager and the Queen.

"What's going on?" As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, people who didn't know the truth began to discuss in a low voice.

"You don't know yet? Just now in the side hall where the noble ladies rested, Miss Feng had an argument with someone, and the Queen slapped Miss Feng in the face." An old man who was well-informed summarized it simply.

"It's okay for noble ladies to quarrel with each other, but why do you have to hit someone in the face? The Queen has gone too far this time."

Xia Zhengqi looked at Feng Panpan's face in astonishment, and then looked at the Queen. In a short moment, his mood was very complicated.

The Duke of the Protectorate Feng Qi stood up tremblingly: "Excuse me, Queen, what did my granddaughter do wrong that you beat her like this?!"

The voice of the Duke of the Protectorate was full of resentment and heartache.

"What's going on?" Xia Zhengqi asked the Queen.

"Uncle, uncle, I know!" Xiao Wanyin suddenly called in a baby voice.

The guests all looked at Xiao Wanyin curiously.

She pointed at Feng Panpan with her little finger, "her", then at Bailining, "Scold her, she's a country girl!"

Xia Zhengqi's face suddenly darkened.

[Not only that, Feng Panpan did her best to humiliate Bailining, taking the lead in humiliating Bailining, saying that she was dressed in a rustic way, and that she must have been allowed in by the irresponsible guards at the gate]

[The eldest cousin was obviously kind enough to help her tidy up her clothes, but she was severely humiliated by her. ]

[Fortunately, Bailining was magnanimous, otherwise she would have been so ashamed and angry on the spot. ]

[The Queen Mother slapped Feng Panpan twenty times, and that was already considered mercy. ]

Xia Zhengqi's face turned as dark as liver.
