Red makeup against the world

Chapter 715
For a while, all the servants of Prince Qi's Mansion were in danger, for fear of being transferred to serve this eldest lady.

Concubine Qi had no choice but to reward those servant girls who were beaten and scolded generously with money, and finally she did not lose the reputation of being harsh to her servants.

Concubine Yao relied on King Qi's favor, and she believed that she was better than Princess Qi in appearance, and she always loved to compete with Princess Qi.If Princess Qi said yes, she must say no; if Princess Qi disagreed, she could find hundreds of reasons to say yes.

But in Yao Zhiyue's case, the two of them were on the same front.

After Yao Zhiyue had a few fights in the first few days, the two of them tacitly adopted a cold treatment method.Since I can't afford to offend you, let's just ignore you!

All kinds of exquisite and interesting gadgets, or rare treasures, etc., were sent to her small courtyard the next day.Although the two of them did not show their faces, even if Mrs. Yao was here, it could not be said that she had treated her first daughter badly.

Yao Zhiyue didn't feel the indifference of the two of them, and after eating and drinking, she took people to play in the back garden to enjoy the scenery.This time, all kinds of flowers blooming in the back garden were unlucky.

If it is said to pick a few flowers to decorate the room, it is also an elegant thing.But her behavior can only be called ruin.If you like it, you will pick it, and if you only have a cup of tea, you will get tired of it, and throw it away on the side of the road.After a few days, at a glance, there are not many flowers left in the back garden.

The carefully maintained flowers and trees were treated like this, and the mother-in-law who tended the flowers and plants dared not speak out, so she had to cry to the daughter-in-law in charge.

Princess Qi also had a headache when she found out, these flowers and grasslands were originally planned to be raised, and the family members of the Wu family were invited to come and enjoy the scenery.But it's already like this, it's better for her to toss these flowers and plants than to toss people.

Therefore, this time, they invited Mrs. Lu and the others to come to the mansion, so they had no choice but to cancel the festival of viewing the scenery.

When Concubine Qi wrote the post, she specially invited Concubine Yao to come over.Tell her that this family banquet is unusual, if Yao Zhiyue makes a mess, how should he deal with the prince?
Hearing Concubine Qi's detailed account of Yao Zhiyue's bad deeds, Concubine Yao couldn't help but gasp.She didn't know that Yao Zhiyue was so domineering and stubborn!
Was this Yao Zhiyue raised as a princess in Shangshu Mansion? !
This thought flashed through both of their minds at the same time, and they once again had a tacit understanding: she must not be allowed to mess up this family banquet.

Therefore, Princess Qi sent someone to Yao Zhiyue's yard early in the morning, and brought her a peacock chiming bell that Emperor Qinglong had recently rewarded.

This self-ringing bell, except in the palace, can't be seen among the people at all.Using gilt craftsmanship, every hour, the peacock with emeralds inlaid in its eyes will open the screen to tell the time, which is very delicate.

If it wasn't for today's family banquet, Princess Qi wouldn't have given up such a precious treasure to appease Yao Zhiyue.

However, she still knew about it!In this mansion, there must be someone who disobeyed his order and sent news to Yao Zhiyue in private.

Princess Qi's pretty face turned cold like frost, and she must torture the servants who served her afterwards.

But, how should the current situation end?

Yao Zhiyue not only came, but also provoked the second young lady of the Wu family.

Concubine Qi hadn't organized her words yet, but Xu Wanzhen smiled suddenly, looked at her nails casually, and said, "Who is Yao Zhiyue? Should I have heard of it?"

"You!" Yao Zhiyue was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to proceed.

Concubine Yao tilted her head, trying her best to hold back the smile on her lips.It's really rare to see Yao Zhiyue deflated.

"Have you made any great achievements? Are you the emperor's own princess? Or, the princess is also fine." Seeing her flushed face, Xu Wanzhen said indifferently: "It doesn't look like it."

The conversation suddenly became harsh, and she shouted: "Since it's not true, a commoner girl, why don't you kneel down to pay respects when you see me, the second-rank madam?!"

According to the law of etiquette, civilians who have no equals in their bodies should kneel down when they see the order of the second rank.It's just that in many cases, due to relatives, etc., it is not strictly enforced, and ordinary salutes are used instead.

At this moment, Xu Wan is really using her status to suppress others, how can Yao Zhiyue resist?

She was in the Shangshu Mansion, and she was used to asking for anything since she was a child. She was raised in a deep boudoir and had never dealt with the powerful, so she thought that everyone should let her go.When they came to Prince Qi's mansion, Princess Qi and Concubine Yao were instructed by King Qi to turn a blind eye to her behavior and not pursue it.

Asking her to kneel at this time, she felt that she had received the greatest insult since she was born.

For a while, Yao Zhiyue couldn't advance or retreat.She originally came to question Xu Wanzhen, how she became like this, she couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Xiang Han, the maid standing behind her, said proudly: "My young lady is the daughter of Shang Shufu, why should I kneel down to you, the daughter of a merchant?"

She had heard Yao Zhiyue say this sentence many times, but now she blurted it out very smoothly.

Xu Wanzhen just smiled coldly and didn't speak.A maid is not worth her talking.

Bai Yao took a small step forward, and scolded: "Master, when will it be your turn to interrupt a little girl like you? A lowly slave, dare to disrespect my wife, give me twenty slaps!"

Xianghan was stunned, "Twenty slaps?"She was domineering by Yao Zhiyue's side, when had she suffered such a disadvantage?
Before she could react, a burst of force pulled her aside, and with a crackling sound, her face was already swollen like a pig's head.The sweet smell of blood came out of her mouth, making her realize that she had really been slapped.

With a flash, Wen Mulan returned to Xu Wanzhen, and saluted: "Young Madam, the slap is over!"

Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Well done, you will be rewarded when you return home."

Wen Mulan palmed her mouth, and it took only a few blinks for everyone present to react.For a moment, the expressions on everyone's faces were brilliant.

Lu Shi thought to himself: "Xu Wanzhen has such a master by his side? I don't know if it's from the Xu family or from Wu Zhengxiang. In the future, it's better to stay away from her. Can't afford to provoke or hide?"

Wu Chao held his mother by the hand, his eyes sparkling like black grapes.It was an eye-opener for this woman to have such a superb skill.If it wasn't for the calm atmosphere at this time, he would have rushed to ask what happened.

Princess Qi's heart trembled, she naturally knew a lot about this second young lady of the Wu family.After all, Xu Wanzhen saved Empress Dowager Xiao, and as a member of the royal family, she also deliberately learned about her.

But she came to the banquet as a concubine's daughter-in-law, and she was always well-behaved and inconspicuous, so Princess Qi gradually ignored her existence.Unexpectedly, if you don't make a move, it will be enough, but if you make a move, it will be so amazing.

Concubine Yao's heart was extremely happy.Yao Zhiyue, oh Yao Zhiyue, relying on your mother's love and not paying attention to me, you finally kicked the iron plate today, right?
It's just that Yao Zhiyue did it for no reason, why did she want to mess with Xu Wanzhen?Concubine Yao had doubts in her heart.
