Chapter 25: This Palace is the Princess
Bai Yuyue used so much force in these two slaps that her palms were swollen and painful, not to mention how terrifying Bai Zhenzhen's face looked at this time.
"Princess, that's so rude! No matter how bad we are, we are still your aunts and sisters. Is it possible that the princess will treat us like this?"
The eldest lady defended her eldest daughter, and the anger in her eyes almost seemed to swallow up Bai Yuyue.
The woman chuckled softly and glanced at her, "I think that two slaps on my face is not enough. If the prince finds out about this matter, I'm afraid it won't be that simple."
"Bai Yuyue! What are you so arrogant about! So what if you are the Princess Regent now? The Princess Regent is weak and inhumane, yet you still have a sense of superiority even though you are a widow!"
Bai Zhenzhen was so anxious that she spoke erratically. The eldest lady was so frightened that she raised her hand and slapped Bai Zhenzhen in the face again, "How presumptuous!"
"Ah! Mother!"
Bai Yuyue didn't speak, she just stood aside and looked at them with cold eyes.
It would be a good thing if Rong Jing couldn't be humane! Was that called inhumane last night? He almost had to eat her up and wipe her clean!
"So, you two have had enough of singing in front of me?"
The eldest lady stared at Bai Yuyue, vaguely seeing a trace of murderous intent. She held Bai Zhenzhen's hand tightly and hurriedly pulled Bai Zhenzhen to kneel down. She nodded at Bai Yuyue and said, "Princess, please clarify the rumors."
Well, I know that I shouldn’t worry about your dowry gift, but I really didn’t touch it!”
"Oh? So Madam, you mean that I am deliberately making things difficult for you?"
Bai Yuyue played with her slender fingers thoughtfully, and simply sat on the chair. The old god Zai Zai looked so uncomfortable. The eldest lady gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
If he can turn back one day in the future, Bai Yuyue must pay back ten times the amount!
"No, they are all women who can't speak. But Princess, I really didn't touch those things!"
"The rumors from the outside are not a matter of whether you should touch them or not. It is that my dowry has turned into two piles of stones. The dowry was originally thin enough. Fortunately, the prince did not blame it, but what if..."
"Don't worry! The imperial concubine will bring it to you when she returns home!"
The eldest lady heard the implication, how could she think of other reasons? She just wanted to keep her position, so she started making various guarantees to Bai Yuyue.
Unexpectedly, the woman leaned back on the rocking chair leisurely, closed her eyes, and said calmly, "I want twice as much."
"What!"
Bai Zhenzhen shouted, "If I give you twice as much, then the Imperial Preceptor's Office will really have no food left!"
"Since the eldest lady is reluctant to part with you, I won't be embarrassed. You two please go back."
"No, don't!" The eldest lady quickly stopped her, winked at Bai Zhenzhen, lowered her head in a hurry, gritted her teeth, struggled for a while, and finally answered through gritted teeth, "Okay, twice as much."
"On the day I return home, I will see all the dowry, how about it?"
"good."
Since everyone has agreed, the eldest lady has no intention of arguing with Bai Yuyue. Qingshan is not afraid of running out of firewood, and she has an identity after all.
"snort."
Bai Zhenzhen was pulled up by the eldest lady, and before leaving, she snorted disdainfully at Bai Yuyue.
at this time……
"lady."
A low-pitched voice came, and everyone turned around and found a handsome man in black standing beside Bai Yuyue. They didn't know when he came.
Even Bai Yuyue was startled, and stood up in a hurry, looking into the doting eyes, "Has it been dealt with?"
Rong Jing bent down, gently hugged Bai Yuyue into her arms, and blew a breath into Bai Yuyue's ear, "Of course I miss you madam so much that I came here before I finished approving the memorial."
"ah?"
Bai Yuyue was startled. Just when she was about to say something, Rong Jing glanced at Cui'er and said, "Have you given the princess the soup that the king asked you to cook for her yesterday?"
Cui'er was startled and thought of saluting, but was stopped by Rong Jing's gesture. She hurriedly responded, "Drink. The prince gave the order again in the morning. I don't dare to delay and hurry up to replenish the princess' body."
"Um."
To replenish the body?
These four words almost slapped Bai Zhenzhen in the face.
Just now, he said that the regent was inhumane. Who would have thought that he would send tonic to Bai Yuyue all of a sudden? Could it be that last night?
"Greetings to the prince."
The eldest lady realized it later and dragged Bai Zhenzhen to kneel down again. The two of them dared to talk more. The bodies kneeling on the ground were trembling, fearing that Rong Jing would come to punish them because of what they had just said.
"Um."
Rong Jing responded lightly without saying anything about letting the two of them level up. Bai Yuyue had a smile in her eyes, and it was obvious that Rong Jing wanted to vent her anger.
"What do you want to eat later? Is Yan'er awake?"
"Not yet. I just slept for a while and I will probably wake up in another half an hour."
"I am more worried about you. Look at your body and bones. My husband must replenish you. You are so thin that you are just skin and bones."
Rong Jing's every word stepped on the eldest lady's nerves. Who didn't know that the third lady in their Imperial Prefect's Office disliked the most?
She kept calling her Miss Third, but no one took her seriously, even the servants bullied her.
"But... they are still kneeling." Bai Yuyue glanced at the eldest lady and others, and tugged on Rong Jing's sleeves in embarrassment. If the eldest lady and Bai Zhenzhen were punished today, it would not be good for Rong Jing's reputation in the future.
.
Rong Jing frowned, stretched out her hand and lifted Bai Yuyue's chin, with a slight smile but it didn't reach her eyes, "When did the princess become so kind?"
"Husband~"
A soft call completely made Rong Jing surrender. Her body froze, and she waved her hand pretending to be innocent, "That's all, get back on your feet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Bai Zhenzhen was pulled up by the eldest lady, she took a careful look at Rong Jing, who was holding Bai Yuyue, and was immediately attracted by the man's appearance.
Although I have never seen him before, the sick look is really unsightly, but it is different now.
Not only does his face look a lot rosier, but his body is visibly stronger.
"Your Majesty...and my sister are really in love."
Bai Zhenzhen opened her mouth and called Bai Yuyue her sister. Rong Jing frowned, realizing Bai Zhenzhen's thoughts, and responded with a smile, "The young lady will definitely spend a lot of money to take a good look at her face when she returns home, otherwise she will be ruined at such a young age."
It doesn’t look good.”
"ah?"
Bai Zhenzhen, who was addicted to Rong Jing's appearance, couldn't extricate herself. She was suddenly awakened by a word. She was so frightened that she quickly covered her face with a handkerchief. The resentment towards Bai Yuyue in her eyes became even more deep-rooted!
