The old lady is reborn

This time, the prince brought only the princess consort with him to the palace for the banquet. When Liang Hong found out, there was no noise or fuss. It was so calm as if it was supposed to be so.

The prince thought: The child has grown up and become sensible.

The princess ordered the maid beside her: "Keep an eye on her and see what she does next!"

The prince stepped in and was dissatisfied when he heard this: "What are you doing? She has been in the palace for ten years and grew up under my nose. She is just a child!"

The princess said, "The prince has been pampering her for a long time. Whenever she does something wrong, he says she is just a child. It is the prince's fault that she is not good."

After hearing this, Prince Rui didn't want to argue with her anymore. As long as Liang Hong wasn't mentioned, the couple got along well.

Prince Rui was willing to give in to Princess Rui in his heart.

"I think your temper is getting worse and worse, so don't say anything like this outside this room.

It’s not good for the little girl’s reputation.”

Seeing the newly delivered clothes for the princess, he glanced at them and asked casually, "Is this new palace dress too small?"

He looked at Princess Rui again and said with certainty, "This must be too small."

Princess Rui was so angry that she stood up and held up the dress, gesturing on her body: "This is not my dress. It's not only too small, but also too short."

The words of Prince Rui made Princess Rui angry. He took a sip of tea and looked at Princess Rui: "Are you angry again?

It's good for you to be plump like this. The two girls eat so well but don't gain weight. It seems like my palace is skimping on food."

Then he asked, "You have always disliked Liang Hong. Is this dress for Yin An?"

"Your Highness, what you said is too biased, so biased that it almost feels guilty.

Your Majesty, think about whether I disliked her when I first entered the palace?

Why did you become unhappy later? Didn't the prince know what was going on?"

She sat down: "This is indeed made for Yin An. I will bring Yin An with me to the banquet in the palace this time."

"Liang Hong is the only one left?"

“I took Yin An with me because the Queen mentioned it. The fact that our two little girls’ backgrounds were wrong has already spread.

The Queen Mother and the Empress both wanted to meet Yin An. If she hadn't broken her leg, they would have brought her into the palace when she had learned the etiquette.

From what I heard, I'm afraid Princess Anyang also mentioned this when she entered the palace."

Princess Rui thought: Who doesn't want to watch the fun? She said, "Liang Hong can continue to live in luxury in the palace because the prince is reluctant to let her go. Logically, she shouldn't still live in the palace, let alone go to the palace banquet, right?"

Seeing that Prince Rui remained silent, Princess Rui continued, "This is Yin An's first time in the palace, everyone will definitely pay more attention to her, can your Liang Hong bear it?

The Queen Mother has always liked children, and she has given Liang Hong many gifts in the past for your sake.

This was the first time he met Yin An, so he had to give him some gifts. Could Liang Hong remain quiet after seeing him?

I'm afraid there will be trouble again when we return to the palace, so I think it's better not to bring Liang Hong into the palace."

King Rui felt guilty towards Yin An because of the horse farm incident and finally nodded.

Everything was fine until the day of the banquet. Liang Hong not only did not make a fuss, but she even went out early in the morning, as if she didn't mind at all, and didn't care that she was not in the palace this time.

In fact, after she went out, she thought about the shops on both sides of the official road that the prince had to pass through to enter the palace.

I chose a jewelry store frequented by noble ladies in Kyoto, sat down to drink tea, and waited patiently.

Before the prince arrives, she must find a poor guy to quarrel with. If the other party doesn't fight back, she will fake a fall and get out of the palace for a day.

When the little girl who brought the news raised the bright silk scarf in her hand from afar, Liang Hong knew that the prince's carriage was coming.

She glanced into the store and caught a glimpse of the little girl from the Yue family who was about to go out, with a maid behind her holding a box.

Liang Hong glanced at her little maid, and her maid bumped into the maid from the Yue family.

When Prince Rui passed by the store, Yue Heng's younger sister, eleven-year-old Yue Lin, was so angry with Liang Hong that her face turned red. The broken jade bracelet was in the box that fell to the ground.

The girls on both sides were arguing fiercely.

Liang Hong seemed not to want to argue with them anymore, so she turned around and walked out. Suddenly, she fell heavily to the ground, and she cried and said to Yue Lin, "Why did you push me?

Even if I am not a real official lady, can you bully me at will?"

Yue Lin was completely confused: What did she just say? Why was she lying on the ground?

Liang Hong's maid seemed to be unwilling to see Liang Hong suffer, and rushed towards Yue Lin desperately as if to protect her master: "I told you to push my young lady!"

Yue Lin was hit by the sudden collision and his head hit the door frame. Yue Lin's maid didn't try to stop him. After helping her young lady up, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed over.

There were two girls on each side, and the four girls were fighting. The shop assistant came out to stop them.

Yue Lin's younger sister Yue Shuang was only nine years old. She was trying on hairpins upstairs when her sister told her that she was leaving and would wait for her in the carriage.

She picked up the hairpin and went downstairs. She saw that her sister's maid was fighting with someone. She turned to her two older maids and said, "What are you still standing there for? Come on! If you win, I'll give you the hairpin I bought today!"

It's even more lively now.

When Prince Rui first heard the noise, he just lifted the curtain and took a peek. When he saw the familiar figure, he was about to get up. Princess Rui suddenly sneered and said, "I was wondering why you were so quiet these days. It turns out you were waiting here."

Prince Rui looked at Liang Hong and said, "She has been bullied. There is no need to speculate like that!" Then he was about to get off the carriage.

Princess Rui listened and did not argue, but just said: "The little girl is arguing, and it is inappropriate for you, a prince, to go out and protect her, isn't it?"

When King Rui heard this, he said, "Go and bring the person back."

Seeing that the Yue sisters were now in the upper hand, Princess Rui deliberately hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not appropriate for me to go. People will say that our Rui Palace is bullying others."

She waved her hand and asked the two older girls beside her to go over.

When the master and two servants were brought back, Liang Hong did look a little miserable.

As soon as she saw King Rui, her eyes turned red, tears rolled down like beads, and she choked and called out, "Senior Brother."

In the end, Liang Hong really achieved her wish and was brought into the palace by King Rui. She also went to Yin An's carriage and changed into the second set of clothes that the princess had prepared for Yin An.

This extra set was originally prepared in case of an unexpected situation such as soup spilling at the banquet.

Now it is put on Liang Hong as an emergency measure.

Yin An and Liang Hong sat in each corner of the carriage, neither of them spoke.

At the invitation of the Queen Mother, Song Ying brought her seven-year-old great-grandson into the palace. Prince Rui arrived a little late because he was delayed on the road.

When the two little girls he brought came to pay their respects to the Queen Mother, sitting below the Queen Mother were Lady Protector of the Nation Song Ying and her seven-year-old great-grandson.
