The heat got to her so much that she dropped the teacup Niang slammed the table and said, "Ling, are you so dissatisfied and disrespectful to me?"
"I am the wife, why should I respect you?"
Ling pinched her right hand with her left hand, and then her left hand with her right hand, and it felt very hot.
If there weren't so many people around at the moment, she would definitely tear the blind woman's face to pieces.
Wan Niang scolded: "You are so arrogant. Kneel down."
"I won't kneel." Ling puffed out her chest.
Wan Niang moved her fingers: "Madame Li."
Madam Li replied, "The old slave is here."
"Have her kneel down."
"Yes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Li stepped forward and held Ling's shoulders.
With the strength acquired from decades of farm work, he easily pushed Ling to his knees.
This was the first time that the concubines and madams nearby saw Ling in such a situation. Their expressions varied, but they all felt refreshed.
You have to know that the Ling family used to be a powerful figure in the palace.
Her son Long Lihui even outshines their children.
Now that Wanyou is back, she is superior to her for the first time in her life, which makes her feel inexplicably refreshed.
It’s just that Wanyou used to have a softer personality, and her tough approach now surprised them. They were all glad that they didn’t openly oppose her just now.
Ling was pressed on the shoulders and knelt on the ground, but she still refused to accept it and shouted, "Qiao Wanyou, you are deliberately making trouble for me!"
"Another cup of tea." Wan Niang said again.
"Wait!"
A deep voice came from the door.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the concubine coming over.
Wan Niang also recognized the owner of the voice, so she stood up.
"Toffee." Everyone called.
Ling took the opportunity to stand up and ran to the concubine: "Concubine, aunt, look at my hands."
The concubine lowered her eyes and looked at him, then shouted angrily, "Qiao, is this your method?"
Wan Niang smiled faintly: "Replying to the Concubine, I just served tea to the Concubine, and the tea was also hot."
The concubine choked at these words and took Ling away with a snort.
Seeing them leave, how could the other concubines and madams dare to stay?
He was afraid that if he was a step late, the Concubine Dowager and Ling would think that they were on Qiao Wanyou's side.
So they said goodbye and left in a hurry.
After only a moment, only the Fu family was left in Mingzhu Garden.
Fu Nanyao couldn't help but worry: "Mother, the Concubine came over just now. Who knows how she will punish you that night."
"Mother, I will go with you tonight." Yan Funing said, "Take Caiyu and Nanny Li with you, they are both very strong."
Caiyu and Nanny Li agreed.
"Alright, if a fight breaks out later, Fu Ning, you should stay away." Wan Niang smiled, "To be honest, I felt relieved just now. I always felt that I suffered a lot in this palace more than ten years ago."
"It's good to vent your anger."
Yan Funing laughed along.
Soon it was dusk.
Fu Jiang came back: "Princess, Madam, the young master was kept in the palace by the emperor for dinner and will be back later."
"Why was I suddenly kept for dinner?" Yan Funing frowned.
She also wanted to discuss with him what happened today.
Besides, my mother-in-law would go to the concubine dowager at night for the so-called morning and evening visits, and the concubine dowager would definitely have some tricks up her sleeve.
She was still thinking about how he could help her, but he was kept by the emperor.
Fu Jiang said, "Madam, the situation is like this. The reason why the young master took half a day off yesterday was to move into the palace. The emperor probably wanted to talk to the young master about moving into the palace."
"That's right." Yan Funing murmured.
Hearing her voice lower, Wan Niang asked, "What is Fu Ning worried about?"
"Mother, my husband is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Throughout history, the position of Prime Minister is usually not held by royal children. The main reason is that the emperor is afraid of sharing his power with people who are not his descendants. I am afraid that if we move into the palace, it will affect my husband's position as Prime Minister."
"We are also worried about this matter. Let's wait until Ci Yi comes back."
"That's all."
"Let's eat."
In Mingzhu Garden, the master and servant had another meal together.
Compared to last night's laughter and joy, everyone ate in silence tonight as the princess was about to face the queen dowager's challenge.
Leng Ying said, "Once the princess enters the dowager's courtyard, we will wait in secret. If anything happens, just shout and we will show up."
"That's great." Wan Niang nodded and smiled to comfort them, "Why are you worried about me? Believe in your abilities, and let's eat happily. If we are not happy, then others should be happy."
"The princess is right!" Yu Liang took the lead and said, "We have seen what Nanny Li is doing today."
Nanny Li smiled and said, "That's nothing."
"Yes, Nanny Li's strength is as good as that of a martial artist." Leng Feng also said.
Fu Xi said, "You guys don't even see that Nanny Li can give birth to a guy as big as Li Xinheng, she must be no ordinary person."
"Yes, Xinheng is also very strong." Meng Li said, "Caiyu is also very strong."
Laughter was heard again in Mingzhu Garden. Someone heard it and reported it to Ling immediately.
Ling went to the concubine with a sad face and said, "Aunt, they are laughing wildly. You must help me punish Qiao Wanyou tonight!"
"Don't worry!" The concubine patted Ling's bandaged hand, "She can't see, so you can torture her however you want."
at night.
The night is rich.
Wan Niang, accompanied by Yan Funing, went to the Dowager Concubine's courtyard, bringing only Li Ma and Cai Yu, each holding a lantern.
The servant saw them from a distance and went to report to the concubine.
"Dowager Consort, apart from the two servants holding lanterns, the princess is only supported by the Third Young Master's wife."
The concubine laughed out loud: "She is sensible."
Ling, who was hiding behind the screen, came out and said, "Aunt, she doesn't dare to bring too many people. Is she afraid of you? Is she afraid that you will blame her? Is she planning to apologize for bringing too few people with her?"
"No matter what she thinks, you must take revenge." The concubine said softly, "Go hide behind the screen quickly, and wait and see the show."
Soon, Yan Funing helped her mother-in-law into the concubine's room.
"Make the bed," the Concubine Dowager ordered immediately, "No one can help the princess."
Wan Niang said yes.
Yan Funing didn't expect that as soon as she entered the room, the concubine would give orders, and she hadn't yet observed everything in the room.
So I took a quick look and found someone behind the screen and several hot water bottles on the bed. There were so many hot water bottles, obviously not because the concubine was afraid of the cold.
Thinking of this, Yan Funing slowed down her pace and whispered in her mother-in-law's ear: "Mom, there are too many hot water bottles on the bed."
Wan Niang nodded.
The concubine was just bullying her because she couldn't see.
I plan to give her another scald.
When she reached the bed, she reached out to touch the hot water bottle and it was indeed very hot.
What’s even worse is that the lids of the hot water bottles were not tightened tightly.
She was blind and could not see, and when she pulled the quilt, two of the hot water bottles rolled and the hot water inside spilled out, not only scalding her hands but also soaking the Toffee's bed.
"How ridiculous!" The concubine scolded, "Qiao, is this how you serve me?"
"How do you want me to serve you?" Long Yi's voice came from outside the door.
Wan Niang was desperate and shouted in the direction of Long Yi: "Prince, it is my fault. It's all my fault that I couldn't see and spilled the hot water bottle." (End of this chapter)
