Fang Yuwei looked at her coldly, and said, "My servants are naturally disciplined by me, so you can't be so presumptuous.

Besides, Chenxiang is not wrong. How did you get into the Prince's Mansion? How many people here don't know what dirty tricks you used? You feel ashamed now, but why didn't you feel ashamed when you did these things in the past?"

When Wang Peiru saw that this matter was exposed in front of her, her face instantly turned red, and she didn't know whether it was because she was beaten or because of shame. "What nonsense are you talking about? I stayed with the prince regardless of my status because I admired her too much, and you are even more shameless than me. You clearly know that the prince and I are in love, but you still come to interfere.

Pooh--

What a legitimate Crown Princess, she is nothing but a mistress."

Wang Peiru spat fiercely.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Wang Peiru, a little concubine, could be so arrogant.

The look she gave Wang Peiru was even more contemptuous. Those who came here today were all the original wives' daughters, so naturally they looked down on Wang Peiru's behavior.

"Snapped--"

Another loud slap hit Wang Peiru.

"Pull her away, and beat her hard."

Fang Yuwei was extremely angry. Today she had to teach this ignorant concubine a lesson, otherwise where would her dignity be.

When Lady Yongkang saw her daughter being bullied, she couldn't help but stand up and said, "Please forgive me, Crown Princess. I have spoiled my daughter. Please forgive her. It is the mother's fault if the child is not well-educated. If you want to beat or scold me, just come at me."

Wang Peiru quickly protected Meng behind her and said, "Everyone is responsible for their own actions. If you have any problems, come to me. It has nothing to do with my mother."

Fang Yuwei looked at the two mother and daughter in unison with cold eyes, and ordered the palace servants, "Why don't you ask the wife of the Yongkang Earl to leave?"

Meng defended Wang Peiru tightly: "If the Crown Princess insists on punishing me, then punish me as well."

"How dare you! What are you doing?"

When the situation became tense, Crown Prince Mo Yanli strode into the courtyard.

When he saw the deep red slap mark on Wang Peiru's face, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything because there were other people around.

His black pupils were filled with coldness, and he looked at Fang Yuwei with dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? As the Crown Princess, you actually did such a shameful thing in front of all the ministers. Where is my face?"

Fang Yuwei bit her lower lip and tried hard to stop the mist in her eyes from falling. "Prince, it's not that I'm fooling around, but Wang Liang Di is really overstepping her bounds. I had no choice but to punish her in public. Otherwise, others would think that the rules of our Prince's Mansion are not strict. As for the embarrassment, it's Wang Liang Di who brought shame to our Prince's Mansion."

Mo Yanli didn't expect that Fang Yuwei, who always spoke softly to him, would be so tough this time, but Fang Yuwei's words were well-reasoned and left him speechless.

Wang Peiru panicked when she saw this, and immediately looked at Mo Yanli with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness, I dress like this to cater to your preferences. You can only blame me for being infatuated."

The wife of the Earl of Yongkang wiped away the tears from her eyes and sighed, "My poor daughter, she was once a good legitimate daughter, but now, now..."

The prince was softened by the mother and daughter's words. He always felt guilty about Wang Peiru becoming his concubine, so he gave all his love to her.

Seeing that the prince was about to be convinced, Fang Yuwei said very sincerely, "Your Highness, if you can't govern one province, how can you govern the whole world? I am only thinking about you, the prince."

"The Crown Princess is truly worthy of her virtue. May Her Majesty live a thousand years." Mu Yan shouted in the crowd.

The other officials and their wives all echoed: "Long live the queen."

Fang Yuwei looked at Mu Yan with gratitude, and Mu Yan nodded slightly at her. She was a person who clearly loved and hated. Fang Yuwei had helped her, so she would naturally repay her.

What's more, Wang Peiru has always been at odds with me, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The words of the crowd brought the prince back to his senses.

Yes, he is the crown prince of the current dynasty. If he cannot govern the palace strictly, how can his father be confident in handing over the country to him a hundred years later.

“Wuwuwu…” Wang Peiru sobbed softly when she saw the prince’s expression change.

The prince couldn't bear to see Wang Peiru's pitiful appearance.

He whispered, "What the Crown Princess did was for the entire Crown Prince's Mansion. I understand, but Pei Ru has endured too many rumors for me. I hope the Crown Princess can treat her with more kindness."

Although Mu Yan didn't hear what the prince said, from his expression she could tell that he was pleading for Wang Peiru. She shook her head. It was a good thing that such a prince was deposed in the previous life. If he had become emperor, the people of Northern Qi would be in danger.

Fang Yuwei pulled up a sarcastic smile. It turned out that no matter how much she said, it couldn't compare to Wang Peiru's look.

She tried to steady herself, took a deep breath, and said to Wang Peiru, "Wang Liang Di, I order you not to wear red in formal occasions in the future, let alone use peony patterns. This time, I will give you a lighter punishment because you are ignorant. I will fine you half a year's salary and copy the government regulations 100 times to serve as a warning to others. Do you disagree?"

"Prince..."

Wang Peiru wanted to say something but was stopped by Mo Yanli. He understood that this result was already the best, after all, there were so many officials' families watching here.

He hurriedly handed Wang Peiru a cigarette, "Liang Di, why don't you thank me quickly?"

Wang Peiru knelt down reluctantly and saluted: "Thank you for your grace, Crown Princess."

The prince saw that the matter was resolved and his expression relaxed: "Since there is nothing to worry about, I will return to the study to handle official business. I will leave this to the Crown Princess."

At this time, a flower boat appeared in the pool and came slowly. Everyone's attention was attracted by what happened here, and no one knew when the flower boat appeared until it got closer.

"Hey, what is that?"

"It's a flower boat, all covered with chrysanthemums, so beautiful."

"The Crown Princess is really thoughtful."

The flower boat was decorated with chrysanthemums of various colors, and the chrysanthemums bloomed in clusters, which was pleasing to the eye.

"what--!!!"

A scream attracted everyone's attention, and even the prince who had just turned around was stopped in his tracks by the scream.

The person closest to the flower boat was the second daughter of the Imperial Envoy's family. She pointed at the flower boat and said tremblingly, "Why is there a person lying inside?"

Upon seeing this, everyone looked inside the boat and saw that the woman in the cabin was dressed luxuriously, but her face was pale and bloodless.

Upon hearing this, the prince hurried forward to check, and everyone automatically made way for him.

He saw the people in the boat were shocked: "Yu Huai, how could it be Yu Huai."

"What? It's Concubine Xiao?" Fang Yuwei also widened her eyes after hearing this.

Everyone was shocked to find out that the person inside was the Crown Prince's concubine Xiao Yuhuai.

"Quick, pull her ashore." The prince gave an order, and several palace maids who could swim jumped into the river and pushed the boat to the shore.
