She knew that this trip would not be easy and that she would definitely be ridiculed and looked down upon by some people, but she would not let anyone slap her in the face like that.
Looking at the person who was speaking, wasn't it Cui, the wife of Governor Gao? How come the man couldn't get the upper hand from her, so he let the woman find trouble for him?
"Madam Cui, you didn't even bother to greet me! Is anyone from the Ministry of Rites here? Should she be charged with disrespect for ignoring the rules like this?"
The officials from the Ministry of Rites were all present. What could they say about this? According to the rules, it was indeed Mrs. Cui who was rude. You stayed away from her and didn't go to see her. No one would blame you for not being polite. But when you ran up to her and said sarcastic words, who could you blame if you were caught?
He glanced at Prefect Gao and told his wife to go and talk to him.
"It seems that no one is making the decision for me, so I have no choice but to do it myself!"
Before Gao Fuyin could react, Bai Zhiyue made a quick move and slapped Cui in the face.
"Ah~ How dare you hit me, bitch"
Gao Fuyin was about to come over to smooth things over, but the slap interrupted him. Cui Shi was foul-mouthed, so Bai Zhiyue continued to hit her, hitting her for every curse word.
Cui was beaten so hard that she couldn't speak.
"stop"
Gao Fuyin finally took action
"Prefect Gao has such great authority!"
"You beat my wife like this, do you take me seriously?"
"I hit her because she made a mistake. What does it have to do with you? Did you teach her to be polite when she scolded me and insulted me?"
"Fixed charges"
"Then tell me, she is disrespectful and uses foul language. Do I have the right to hit her?"
Everyone sighed. It was possible given her rank, but how could a lady behave like that? Especially who would hit someone in front of so many people at a banquet like this?
Moreover, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is a third-rank official directly under the imperial city and has real power. As a baron's wife who has no one to rely on, aren't you really afraid of being found guilty and suppressed later if you lose face like this?
"You~"
"Don't be so rude. You didn't come to stop her when she was bullying me. I'm still a second-rank lady appointed by the Emperor. What she did was disrespectful to the Emperor. I'm teaching her a lesson on behalf of the Emperor. How can she take you seriously?"
Use the emperor's banner
At this point, I have to say that Bai Zhiyue was too strict in keeping her mouth shut. If no one cared about it, it would have been at most Mrs. Cui saying something unpleasant, but Mrs. Bo made a big deal out of it and didn't give her any face at all.
Gao Fuyin gritted his teeth. He thought of the gold medal. He was sure to suffer a loss today and was completely embarrassed.
Scolding Mrs. Cui
"Why don't you apologize to Madam Bo and learn some proper etiquette when you get home? You're really embarrassing yourself!"
Cui was already feeling wronged after being beaten, and after hearing her husband's attitude, she covered her face and ran out. She could not attend the banquet.
I dealt with a fly and now no one comes to cause trouble again.
Bai Zhiyue had no choice. She was not the type to compromise, and she couldn't learn the ways of those ladies. Solving the problem with force was her first choice.
At least this way there will be fewer short-sighted people bothering her, but she will inevitably have to face revenge from some people in the future.
"Mom, you should send Congcong to the Gao family to find out, so as not to fall into his trap."
"Well, let's have Congcong go over and contact him to find out what animals he has available. We should know each other well. If he dares to attack us, we'll see who is faster, him or me. At worst, we can just kill him directly."
"Mother is mighty"
Since the palace maid reported what happened in the palace to the emperor, he was not too surprised by Bai Zhiyue's reaction. He had long seen that she was not someone who would bow her head.
He has always known that Gao Yanyuan is the man of the emperor's younger brother, the King of Chu, but the King of Chu's mother, Concubine Zhuang Gui, is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. With the Duke of Zhenguo and Concubine Gui around, he cannot touch the King of Chu. This time, the Bai family has severely slapped the Gao family in the face, which is also equivalent to slapping the King of Chu in the face.
Makes him feel quite happy
He came to the hall with the queen, concubines, two underage princes and a princess.
"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress Dowager and the Concubine have arrived, the Empress has arrived..."
A series of reports were made, and all the ministers and noble ladies knelt down to welcome the emperor.
"It's just that etiquette is important and you have to kneel from time to time!"
The others knelt and bowed their heads in greeting. Bai Zhiyue was squatting in the crowd with Doudou in her arms. The emperor saw her at a glance.
[She wasn't afraid of being seen, and threw her previous trick in her face.]
Considering that she defeated the King of Chu's men, just pretend not to see it.
"Sit down!"
"Open the banquet"
When Eunuch Gao sang loudly, the palace maids moved like a group of colorful clouds, moving like flowing water, and placing dishes on the tables with graceful postures.
As expected, she has been specially trained in the palace and is completely different from the servants in the mansion.
After three rounds of drinking, Bai Zhiyue had to kneel down to express her gratitude after each round. It was unbearable. She couldn't stand it anymore and left the hall holding Doudou and Qinglian.
"Madam, I have never been to the palace and I am not familiar with the roads. Let's not go too far."
"Don't go far, just get some fresh air outside."
There happened to be a pavilion next to it, and for the convenience of the ladies in the palace, cushions were prepared inside for them to rest.
"Just sit in the pavilion."
"Mom, the water isn't frozen yet. There are still lots of fish in it."
Watching the steam rising from the water,
"It's probably connected to a hot spring. What a luxury! The water from the hot springs in the mountains is brought into the palace. Not only can you take a hot spring bath, but you can also watch fish in the winter."
"Hey, ma'am, why don't you feed us?"
"Hey, I unlocked another animal, an aquatic one is also fine."
"Hello, is there no one to feed you?"
"It's not that no one feeds us, it's that we don't dare to eat. I don't know what's wrong with that concubine, but she always feeds us with her snacks and cakes.
At first everyone loved to eat it, but later they found that some of their companions died after eating it, and some stopped producing seeds after eating it. Who would dare to eat it?
So if another concubine comes to feed us, we will run away as soon as possible."
"Then how do you know I'm feeding it okay?"
"We can sense that you're different. We originally wanted to try to communicate with you, but we didn't expect you to actually understand us. That's great! Hurry up and get us some food. The eunuchs and palace maids in charge of feeding us are all busy with the palace banquet today, so no one is taking care of us. We're all hungry."
"Qinglian, go to my table and bring a plate of pastries over. The fish looks good, so let Doudou and I play with it."
"Okay, ma'am, be careful."
Qinglian was really worried about his wife being alone outside, and Doudou didn't count.
He trotted back to the palace to get some snacks, but his haste made a mistake. When he turned a corner at a rocky scene on the road, he ran into a palace concubine and her entourage.
"You are so bold! You actually offended Concubine Cui! If anything happens to Concubine Cui, will you be able to bear the consequences? Why don't you slap her in the face?"
Immediately, Madam Gong came forward and pinned Qinglian down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
She wanted to say that she didn't bump into anyone at all, she just bumped into a palace maid in front of her.
However, this group of people had no intention of reasoning with her and started beating her up.
He slapped me twenty times before letting go.
"Humph, you're just a baron's wife, yet you dare to act so arrogantly in the palace!"
Qinglian then understood that this lady was seeking revenge for Madam Cui.
