Chapter 324 Girls should help each other
The Wang family gained power when the late emperor was still alive.
Although the late emperor is no longer with us, when he was still alive, he arranged for a princess to be born for the young emperor who was still a prince. This princess was none other than the eldest granddaughter of the old lady of the Wang family.
I have to say that the Wang family is quite calculating, using women to consolidate the power of the Wang family.
Now all the officials in Kyoto know that the Crown Princess, the future Queen, is from the Wang family. Who dares to offend the Wang family easily?
At Old Lady Wang’s birthday banquet, everyone in Kyoto was eager to get involved.
The Chen family of the Marquisate naturally also received the invitation from the Wang family.
Originally, I wanted to let Li Yuan go, but Li Yuan seemed to be pregnant.
Without waiting for Yun Qiao to ask, Li Yuan came on his own.
She was still shy and embarrassed. Li Yuan didn't know that Yun Qiao could read her mind. Even though she didn't say it, Yun Qiao guessed what she was thinking.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Are you still so polite between us?"
Li Yuan then said, "I originally wanted to attend the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Wang family, but this time, my period is more than half a month late. I thought that maybe I am pregnant."
Yun Qiao smiled lightly: "This is a great joyous event. You are going to add a new member to your family."
"I was originally thinking that if you go, I won't go. The Wang family and the Chen family don't have that good of a relationship. Since you're not feeling well, I'll go. You just need to rest well."
Li Yuan nodded and said "hmm".
"Mother Qiao, the Wang family isn't easy to get along with. You don't have to be nice to them when you go there."
Li Yuan saw that Yun Qiao was weak and was being bullied by the Wang family again.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
He told Li Yuan to have a good rest and not to worry about attending the banquet.
On the day of the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Wang family, Yun Qiao took her maid and went there in a carriage. She was Princess Huayang. Now the emperor had to call her the imperial aunt. When the old lady of the Wang family learned that Princess Huayang was coming, she naturally went to greet her in person.
Yun Qiao walked into the Wang family compound with a dignified demeanor and sat in a position with an excellent view.
She was of noble status, and the Wang family members did not dare to act rudely in front of her.
Yunqiao just came here to have a meal.
Just before lunch started, I suddenly heard the maid beside me say that the mistress of the Zhao family had also arrived, but she was only given some soup.
"Your Highness, do you want to go and take a look?"
Yun Qiao frowned, "But Gao Wanxin?"
"Exactly."
At this moment, Gao Wanxin was splashed with vegetable soup, and the maid who was splashed with soup was already kneeling on the ground, looking very pitiful.
But no one from the Wang family came out to take charge of the situation.
Zhang, who came with Gao Wanxin, had gone nowhere at this moment, leaving Gao Wanxin and Yu'er behind. Yu'er was protecting Gao Wanxin, but now she was in the Wang family, and she felt uncomfortable in many places. She wanted to call someone to take them out, but no one came forward. Only the maid who spilled vegetable soup on Gao Wanxin was kneeling on the ground.
"I'm asking you a question, but you're dumb and you don't even know how to speak a word."
Yu'er raised her voice and looked at the maid kneeling on the ground.
I only saw the maid crying miserably, "Madam, I was wrong. I deserve to die. Please have mercy on me. I didn't mean to do that. Please don't beat me to death."
As it happened, not long after Yu'er finished speaking, several wives of officials came and the little maid who had been pretending to be mute suddenly started crying and howling.
No matter how stupid Gao Wanxin was, she knew that she was being plotted against.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, did she offend someone?
This was also her first time attending Madam Wang's birthday banquet. How had she offended anyone? How could someone plot against her like this?
She said nothing, her eyes cold.
Yu'er hurriedly explained and defended, "What nonsense are you talking about? What did my wife say to you? My wife didn't say anything, but you started yelling first."
At this time, several ladies passing by looked at Gao Wanxin, who looked shabby in the vegetable soup, and started to talk about her.
"I heard that was the lovely wife that Lord Zhao married later."
"She's just average looking, nothing special."
"Is she really that vicious? A maid accidentally bumped into her, she wouldn't hold her captive, right?"
"She's pregnant, so she should do good deeds for the baby in her belly."
"I didn't know you ladies were so kindhearted. The Buddha statues enshrined in the temple should be for you to sit on."
Yun Qiao's cold voice came from behind the crowd.
"Didn't you see that the Zhao family's wife is pregnant? She came to the Wang family to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and she came with sincerity. This maid was so reckless, and she didn't go to anyone with such a wide road. I think she is sincere."
"Mrs. Zhao, are you okay?" Yun Qiao walked up to Gao Wanxin and saw that her eyes were wet, thinking that she must be feeling very aggrieved.
She didn't care about embarrassing herself, but she was afraid of embarrassing Zhao Xuan.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine, but my clothes are dirty. I'm afraid I have to go back and change first."
Lily, the maid who had always been following Yun Qiao, immediately brought over a cloak.
"There are spare clothes in His Highness' carriage. If my lady doesn't mind, you can change into them first."
Gao Wanxin said: "Of course I don't mind. Your Highness's clothes are extremely noble, I..."
"Just put it on. Clothes are meant to be worn by people."
Lily took Gao Wanxin away, and Yun Qiao looked at those wives of officials.
"It seems that everyone is still quite isolated from the news. This Madam Zhao is the Marquis's adopted sister, and naturally also my Huayang's adopted sister. Everyone, please think twice before speaking."
As Yun Qiao spoke, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
The farce in the side courtyard soon reached the attention of the old lady of the Wang family.
"Who did this?"
A young daughter-in-law stood in front of Old Lady Wang, her eyes flickering and she didn't dare to speak.
A younger lady whispered, "Mother, I think the old maid is just venting her master's anger. It's because Zhao Xuan always targets our Wang family in the court. Now we are giving this Gao family a warning..."
"You just want to vent your anger on your family, but you don't consider the occasion. Didn't you see Princess Huayang is here today?"
"idiot."
After the old lady of the Wang family finished her speech, she went to see Gao Wanxin in person and naturally said some hypocritical nice things.
"...I was not hospitable today, causing Madam Zhao to be frightened in the Wang family compound. The maid has already been beaten with a few sticks to vent Madam Zhao's anger."
Gao Wanxin smiled lightly and said, "There's no need to be like this. She didn't mean it."
Yun Qiao said coldly, "Look, the Wang family's tradition is just like this."
Of course, Yun Qiao said this on purpose for Old Lady Wang to hear.
Old Lady Wang felt unhappy when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, Yun Qiao's identity was there.
She is a princess and the emperor's aunt. Not only does the Wang family not dare to offend Yun Qiao, even the emperor did not dare to offend Yun Qiao.
