After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

Mo Ruochen and Duke Ning were kept by Emperor Xuanwen to continue their work, while Xie Yuanfeng took Xiao Yunxi to pay respects to the Queen Mother.

The empress dowager has become even more confused in recent days. She even needs to be fed. From time to time, she pulls the palace maids and calls her "daughter". However, when she sees her real daughter Xie Yuanfeng, she becomes particularly unfamiliar and doesn't even smile at her.

Xiao Yunxi supported her depressed mother, "Mom, grandma is just old, you..."

"It's okay, mother knows."

The two of them walked down the steps slowly. "I heard that the wisteria in the Imperial Garden is in full bloom. Shall we go take a look?"

"Okay." Xie Yuanfeng knew that her daughter was worried, so she calmed down and walked towards the imperial garden.

The wisteria in the Imperial Garden can be regarded as a scenic spot in the palace. The concubines would often come here in groups of three or four to catch butterflies and birds, chat about gossip, and kill some time.

"Bitch! How dare you talk back after I told you something!"

"Pa pa pa!" The crisp sound of slapping attracted the people around to look up and see what was going on.

In the pavilion, a nanny in palace dress slapped a little girl in green several times, while the triumphant Concubine Kang was drinking tea and eating snacks comfortably.

"You lowly little whore, you're talking nonsense!"

"Humph, she's just a princess without a title, yet she dares to make up stories about the Imperial Concubine!"

"She's already 22 years old and still hasn't been arranged to get married. This is simply a royal disgrace!"

After the nanny finished her vicious curse, several palace maids behind Concubine Kang laughed mockingly.

The lower-ranking and less favored concubines around were also whispering about it.

The princess in green was slapped and called a bitch by a servant. She was so ashamed and angry that her face turned pale as paper. She suddenly rushed towards the pillar beside her like a madman.

Oh no, she wants to commit suicide!

Xiao Yunxi quickly flew forward and hugged her around the waist, but the impact was too great and they both rolled on the ground for several rounds before stopping.

Everyone in the Imperial Garden cried out in surprise, and some kind-hearted people stepped forward to help the two up.

"Who is it! How brave!" The nanny wanted to show off in front of Concubine Kang, so she naturally spared no effort.

"It's me, the aunt of the 'little bitch' you mentioned!" Xie Yuanfeng looked at Concubine Kang coldly, "I am so bold to bully my master!"

Seeing Xie Yuanfeng, Concubine Kang was a little nervous, but thinking of His Majesty's favor and her three children, she became more courageous, "The Fifth Princess' words and deeds are inappropriate, and I will only give her a light punishment."

"Besides, everyone saw it just now. She was the one seeking death herself."

"Just a little punishment?" Xie Yuanfeng laughed, "Who do you think you are?"

Concubine Kang was furious and said, "Princess, this is the imperial palace. I am the imperial concubine appointed by His Majesty. You cannot be so presumptuous!"

Concubine De, who rushed over after hearing the news, staggered. Is Concubine Kang trying to kill herself?

"I greet the eldest princess. Princess Jin An!"

Xie Yuanfeng ignored the breathless Concubine De, "Concubine De, what crime should I be punished for insulting and beating the princess?"

What do you mean?

Is the eldest princess going to stand up for the fifth princess, whose biological mother is of low status?

"According to palace rules, he will be cut into pieces and his entire clan will be exterminated."

"Who has a higher rank, the imperial concubine or me?"

Concubine De glanced at the pavilion and said, "You are the eldest princess, with the same status as a prince. As for Concubine Kang, although His Majesty has issued an edict to make her a concubine,... Yudie has not been changed yet."

Xie Yuanfeng looked at the Fifth Princess, who was huddled behind Xiao Yunxi with a red and swollen mouth and a look of despair on her face, and he couldn't help but feel a little more pity and sympathy.

More than 20 years ago, the emperor, who was still a prince at the time, was drunk and accidentally had sex with a criminal slave from Yeyouting. He gave birth to such a daughter, and the previous emperor pointed at her and scolded her for being useless in the court.

This child was a thorn in the emperor's heart, and he thought out of sight, out of mind. Therefore, over the years, she lived a life worse than that of a palace maid.

"That nanny will be beaten to death right here! All the men and women in the nine clans will be slaves and prostitutes!"

Xie Yuanfeng pulled out the whip and walked slowly to the pavilion. "As for you, considering that you are my brother's 'favored concubine', I will give you face and discipline you personally!"

Concubine Kang stepped back in fear, "You...you dare! I am the Concubine!"

"I can beat the queen, so why can't you, a concubine?"

Concubine De had also been tortured by Concubine Kang. Now that the eldest princess has stepped forward, anyone who doesn't secretly rejoice is a fool!

Then, bursts of wailing were heard in the imperial garden.

A group of palace concubines wanted to leave but didn't dare to, so they could only stand aside and tremble.

Those who were on good terms with Concubine Kang had already secretly sent a young eunuch to deliver the letter to the Imperial Study.

Unexpectedly, after learning the whole story, Emperor Xuanwen ignored it. Although Concubine Kang looked very similar to Concubine Rong, her temperament was very different. After giving birth, she became even worse. She really deserved a lesson.

Previously, Marquis Wu'an adopted a daughter, and I heard that she was married to Lu Jingting as a concubine. Isn't this trying to offend the eldest princess?

What's more, who would dare to rush up to stop the furious elder sister? The whip was bestowed by the late emperor, so it was okay to use it to hit the emperor!

"Ahem." Duke Ningguo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is trying to relieve your worries. The concubine allowed the servants to bully the princess. She doesn't really regard you as the king! This behavior cannot be tolerated, and this trend must not be allowed to continue!"

"That's right," Mo Ruochen also stood up, "Now Chi Na is in the capital, and there are also envoys from several vassal states. If they knew that your majesty's harem is so unruly, I'm afraid it would be more than just a sneer."

Emperor Xuanwen twitched his lips, "Yes, my elder sister is mighty and righteous!"

"And the princess rolled on the ground several times to save the fifth princess. It must be very painful!"

Emperor Xuanwen felt his teeth ache now, and poked his cheek with his tongue, "Yes, Changle is brave."

"Your Majesty!" Duke Ningguo and Mo Ruochen had just opened their mouths when they were stopped by Emperor Xuanwen.

"Alright, alright! Eunuch Li drafted an edict. Concubine Kang was immoral. She is demoted to a concubine and confined to her house for half a year! The Fifth Princess... has been wronged. She will be made a second-rank princess and live with Concubine De for the time being."

"Yes."

Eunuch Li secretly sweated, fortunately he had not accepted any goodwill from Concubine Kang. He glanced at Duke Ningguo and Prince Dingyuan. This family would be even more difficult to deal with in the future. Some would use force, some would use their mouths, and some would use their brains!

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Xuanwen was helpless, "Duke Ningguo, what happened?"

"A mother's virtues will inevitably influence her children's virtues through words and deeds. Just look at Nannan and you will know."

Emperor Xuanwen: ....

Concubine Kang really cannot set a good role model for her children. Even after being in the palace for so long, she still can't get rid of her bad habits.

He pondered for a moment, "Send the two princes to Huipin and Qipin respectively, and send the princess to Xianfei to be raised by them for the time being!"

"Yes."

Duke Ningguo was satisfied this time and sat back in his chair.

"His Majesty!"

Emperor Xuanwen shuddered when he heard Mo Ruochen's voice. Why wasn't he finished yet? He held his forehead helplessly and said, "Speak!"

"The princess saved the fifth princess' life."

What, you still want a reward?

"They are cousins, they should help each other!"

"The princess saved my cousin's life!"

"..."

This bastard!

"Li Dezhong, draft an edict..." Emperor Xuanwen gritted his teeth, "Reward Princess Changle with ten entertainers, pick those with good looks and good musical skills!"

This time...it was Mo Ruochen's turn to be upset...
