At this time, some palace maids had already entered Queen Gan's palace to "clean up the mess."
The eldest princess arranged everything and went to the side hall to change clothes.
Shiwei was heartbroken when he saw that the eldest princess's knees were cut by broken porcelain fragments and there were blood stains on her trouser legs.
With tears in her eyes, she knelt at the feet of the eldest princess, hugged her legs, and said softly: "Azhao, does it hurt? The queen's heart is too cruel. Did she treat you as a child?"
Biological daughter..."
The eldest princess pushed her away, with a cold light in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "How dare you, who allows you to criticize your mother? I don't want such words to come out of any of your mouths again."
Shiwei was suddenly startled and said quickly: "This slave has gone too far."
Even though the eldest princess has a lot of hardships in her heart, she will not show it.
The eldest princess said in a deep voice: "Shiwei, go and pick out some clean clothes for me personally. I am going to a banquet."
She held Shiwei's slender jade fingers again and said, "Only you know my general's preferences."
Shiwei's face also turned red. She raised her eyes and stared at the eldest princess, then softened and said, "Yes, I will go right away."
"Shiwei." The eldest princess suddenly called her.
Shiwei was stunned...
The eldest princess then said: "The queen is always the queen, and you must obey her decisions unconditionally and cannot disobey her."
Shiwei wanted to say, but they are all the eldest princess, and they will only obey the eldest princess. Even the queen cannot order them.
Finally, Shiwei whispered: "Yes."
Shiwei looked at the men's clothes in the closet and was thinking about it. Thinking about the sweet time with the eldest princess, she blushed even more.
Yes, she loves the eldest princess deeply, and she can do anything for the eldest princess.
Shiwei clenched her fists, the veins on her wrists protruded, her eyes were equally cold, no one could bully her Azhao, no matter the queen or the eldest princess.
She will take revenge on anyone who makes her Ah Zhao sad.

On the other side, Mu Lingwei was able to get along with everyone at the banquet with ease. After the fourth princess and Concubine Jing led her to greet a group of ladies and ladies, everyone praised her highly.
When Mu Lingwei came out, she put some anti-swelling medicine on her face, and she was much better now. Ms. Song touched up her makeup again. Apart from being overly coquettish and beautiful, no one could tell that there was anything unusual about her face.
.
On one side, Jun Mohan, Pei Lie and others were sitting at the banquet, changing glasses, accompanied by General Gan Hao.
Of course, Liang Yi also joined in and seemed to have a good relationship with Pei Lie.
General Gan Hao repeatedly praised "Xiao Han's" military insights.
Gan Hao thought: If Tianqi Kingdom helps them win the throne, it will be twice the result with half the effort.
But Pei Lie never expressed his stance and remained ambiguous.
Gan Hao is a military commander, so he naturally knows that if he wants to conquer the world, he cannot rely on a bunch of civil servants. The emperor values the virtues of the princesses, but he needs more support from the rear.
The Gan clan and the Gao clan have long been at odds with each other. No matter which side wins the throne, the other side will be doomed.
The Gan family really didn't know how to avoid taboos if they wanted to win over Pei Lie.
Mu Lingwei also looked at Gan Hao and others intentionally or unintentionally. Her mind was spinning very quickly, and she quickly figured out the motivation behind the Gan family's initiative to contact Pei Lie.
Mu Yue and Xu Zhiyuan finally got rid of Princess Ying, and took the initiative to get in front of Mu Lingwei, bowed respectfully, and said: "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
Although Mu Yue is her cousin, according to etiquette, she is a titled princess, and Mu Yue should salute her.
Mu Lingwei smiled and returned the gift, saying: "Prince Yue and Master Xu don't have to be so polite. You can call me Aling in private." The Xu family is a wealthy businessman in Shengjing City.
Mu Yue said happily: "Cousin Aling."
Xu Zhiyuan also said: "Princess Aling."
Mu Lingwei nodded and had no objection. Putting aside dogma and etiquette, Mu Yue could indeed call her that.
She had a brief chat with the Prince of England just now. She felt that the Prince of England was more open-minded and knowledgeable, not as knowledgeable as the Princess of England.
At this time, another palace official said loudly: "Concubine Gao has arrived, and Her Royal Highness the Second Princess has arrived."
Concubine Jing unconsciously grabbed Mu Lingwei's arm, her face changed slightly, she glanced at Mu Lingwei, and remembering what happened that day, she thought Concubine Gao would not attend because it was the welcome banquet for the eldest princess.
They have formed a hatred, why did Concubine Gao come?
Although she thought so, she still had to stand up and salute respectfully because of her different concubine status.
Mu Lingwei didn't care. Concubine Gao was her elder. In front of so many people, she couldn't act too arrogant. Humility was a code of ethics, not a criterion to measure who was better than another. If she was too excessive, she would be relying on others.
He is pampered and arrogant, and has no respect for his elders.
She always kept a decent smile on her face. Although the grievances between Concubine Gao and the eldest princess had reached everyone's ears, at this time, whoever was cold-faced first would lose.
The next moment, everyone saluted again: "See you, the noble concubine, and see the second princess."
Concubine Gao never looked at Mu Lingwei. She only listened to her say: "No courtesy, please feel free."
After everyone heard this, they all sat back in their original positions.
Only Concubine Gao said again: "There is singing and dancing in the Chonghua Palace, and I am also here to join in the fun. I don't know if there is anyone here late."
The woman who was on good terms with the Gao family quickly apologized and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are here at the right time. After the dance, the opera has just begun. I remember that the Imperial Concubine likes to watch the opera the most."
"Who says it's not the case? I just love going to the theater." Concubine Gao said with a smile.
In front of all the princes and ministers, Concubine Gao was able to twist her head lightly.
Since the Queen and His Majesty are both absent, the Prince of England is in charge. However, in terms of status, the Prince of England is naturally the higher one, and Concubine Gao is considered a noble concubine, but at best she is just a concubine in the harem.
Therefore, there was no need for the Prince of England to greet him personally. He just exchanged a few pleasantries and then everyone went about their own business.
At this time, Concubine Gao walked up to Mu Lingwei again, with a fake smile on her face, and said: "I also carefully selected a gift for the eldest princess to welcome her home. I don't know if the princess likes it or not."
Concubine Gao was furious when she saw Mu Lingwei's smiling face and delicate and charming cheeks. However, she still had to endure it and gave her gifts against her will. The gifts should not be too shabby, otherwise she would be like this
Being a royal concubine is stingy.
If her eldest brother hadn't asked her to give it away, she wouldn't have given it away.
The more I think about it, the more frustrated I become. I don’t know why my eldest brother fawns over her so much.
After she finished speaking, a palace maid handed over an exquisite brocade box.
At the same time, Ms. Song also stepped forward to take it, opened it and put it in front of Mu Lingwei's eyes for a look.
Mu Lingwei said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I like it very much. I spent so much money on such an exquisite step."
To be able to get Concubine Gao to take action and give her Bu Yao, I don't know how long Concubine Gao had to work on for herself to mentally build herself up before taking this step.
She remembered that the second princess gave chrysanthemums to the eldest princess at her birthday party last time.
Such direct provocation is the style of the mother and daughter!
Concubine Gao smiled softly and said, "As long as the eldest princess likes it."
Mu Lingwei smiled even more heartily when she saw her expression as if she had swallowed a hundred flies alive.
