"Your Majesty, you must do justice for your niece..." As soon as Guo Yuzhen saw her come out, she immediately crawled over and hugged her leg, crying loudly, "Consort A'tuo slapped my niece without saying a word and even kicked me! I am a member of the Guo family, and she clearly doesn't respect Your Majesty..."
Wen Nongnong frowned. This Guo Yuzhen really knew how to complain.
Sure enough, when Empress Dowager Guo heard this, she frowned. Indeed, one must consider the owner before beating a dog.
No matter how many faults Yuzhen has, she is still a member of the Guo family, and everyone in the palace knows that. But even though they know she is their niece, Atuo Jianghua still dares to hit people in her Xianghe Palace. What else could this be but disrespecting her?
She narrowed her eyes, adopted the demeanor of an empress dowager, and sternly questioned Atuo Jianghua: "Noble Consort Atuo, do you have any manners? It's one thing for you to run wild elsewhere, but I can tolerate you because you married from Xinjiang to Daye."
"But you have gone so far as to assault someone in my Xianghe Palace, showing utter disrespect for me. If I do not punish you today, I will not be able to convince the public."
Upon hearing this, A Tuo Jiang Hua had no choice but to kneel down reluctantly, but she still couldn't help but say, "Consort Zhen is your niece, so naturally you favor her. But I didn't hit her for no reason. Speaking of rules, she is clearly the one with the least manners. If the Empress Dowager wants to punish someone, she should be the one to be punished..."
Empress Guo's expression changed, and she said sternly, "A-Tuo Jiang Hua, how dare you!"
At this, everyone knelt down and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
Empress Dowager Guo was furious. This barbarian woman, Atuo Jianghua, was so unruly and dared to openly defy her. She really didn't take her seriously at all. Today, she would teach her a lesson so that she would know that her authority would not be challenged by anyone.
Just as she was about to punish her, she saw Wen Nongnong still standing there upright, and her brow twitched, feeling her breathing become even more difficult.
Warm, rice, rice!
A shadow crossed her eyes.
Wen Nongnong noticed the unfriendly gaze directed at her, raised an eyebrow slightly, and stepped forward unhurriedly. "Your Majesty, please calm down. We are about to depart for Huangming Temple. Please don't upset yourself. In my opinion, both Your Majesties are at fault, but we are about to depart. We shouldn't delay. Why not deal with them after we return from the temple?"
Upon hearing this, Atuo Jianghua frowned and glanced at her, opening her lips as if to say something, but was soothed by her eyes.
Guo Yuzhen was equally indignant, wondering why she, who had been beaten, should also be punished.
She had long heard that Wen Nongnong and A Tuo Jianghua were on good terms, and now she was helping A Tuo Jianghua to deal with her.
Just as she was about to refute her words, she heard Empress Dowager Guo say calmly, "The Regent's Consort is right. We are about to depart, and I do not have time to deal with you. We will deal with you after we return to the palace."
When Atuo Jianghua and Guo Yuzhen heard that they would be punished after returning to the palace, their shoulders slumped.
Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Wen Nongnong indifferently.
Seeing her standing there with her head down, and apart from her striking face, she didn't seem to have anything particularly outstanding about her. She immediately felt a little more at ease.
Gu Linchao treats her specially, it must be because of her face.
After a while, once you get tired of it, it'll just be okay.
Thinking of this, her expression softened, and she said kindly, "The journey is boring and tedious. Nong Nong, sit with me and keep me company."
