As soon as the noble lady opened her mouth, it was like throwing a landmine into the crowd, and everyone was stunned.
Among them, Mrs. Dongyang Bo’s expression was the most exaggerated.
She opened her mouth wide and stared at the noble lady in stunned silence. Then her face turned red and she said angrily: "What are you talking about? Who in the capital doesn't know that His Highness King Yi only loves his concubine, and has never heard of any newcomers around him?
Yeah, don’t talk nonsense like this!"
It’s not that Mrs. Dongyang Bo has such a good relationship with Xie Yurui that she wants to protect her.
Mrs. Dongyang Bo actually protects her own face.
After all, she had just praised Xie Yurui in public, complimented her on how favored she was, and boasted about how good her relationship with His Highness Prince Yi was, how enviable she was, and so on.
The big words have already been spoken, and the people present are all ladies of the capital. People from the same circle can see each other without looking up.
If someone slaps someone in the face at this time, where will Lady Dongyang's face go?
Therefore, she must refute this noble lady and stand firmly on Xie Yurui's side.
Xie Yurui was shocked and angry, and almost asked who the newcomer was, but Mrs. Dongyang Bo was faster than her and retorted first, so Xie Yurui could no longer question him.
She simply used Mrs. Dongyang Bo as a spearhead and let her rush in front first, while she put on a reserved look, as if she didn't bother to argue with the lady.
The lady sneered: "Mrs. Dongyang Bo, you have to speak ahead of your head. Are you calling me nonsense?"
Mrs. Dongyang Bo blurted out: "Isn't it..."?
Before she finished speaking, another lady standing behind suddenly pinched her, as if to remind her.
Mrs. Dongyang Bo was jolted by pain and her mind became clearer. Looking at the four or five smiling ladies in front of her, her heart skipped a beat.
Oops!
Just thinking about saving face, I didn’t pay attention...
She can't afford to offend any of these ladies!
They are all the wives of first-class civil servants. All of them have children and official titles. They are very strong-backed. Moreover, their natal families are not bad, and their husbands' families are more powerful than the last.
The ladies of aristocratic families in the capital are also divided into different grades.
The top level is naturally the members of the royal family, such as the queen mother, empress, concubine, as well as the princesses of various families, county princesses, etc.
Further down is the head wife of the court official.
It is divided into two factions, civil and military.
The military generals are headed by the Marquis of Zhenbei, and naturally among the female relatives, the Marquis of Zhenbei’s wife has the highest status. Those who have a close relationship with her are basically the wives of first- and second-grade military generals.
As for the civil servants, the Meng family, the crown prince’s natal family, is the leader.
Concubine Wen’s mother’s family, the Wen family ranked second.
Therefore, the eldest lady of the Meng family, who is the biological mother of the Crown Princess, has the highest status among the female relatives of civil servants, followed by the eldest lady of the Wen family, who is the biological mother of Concubine Wen and the biological mother of Wen Shaoqing.
In addition to the royal family members, among the ladies of the aristocratic families, Mrs. Zhenbeihou, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Wen are all in the first echelon.
The second echelon immediately following them were the four or five ladies in front of them. This chapter has been completed!
