The rebellion against the emperor seemed like a small episode, insignificant, and the lively New Year's Eve continued.

The old emperor did not leave immediately, but watched the singing and dancing scene below, drinking from time to time.

But those two beautiful figures are no longer around me.

However, the atmosphere at this time was still neither salty nor bland, which was a bit awkward.

At this moment, someone suddenly mentioned: "Just now in Jingren Hall, although the kid from the Hao family deliberately did something bad, it didn't cause any consequences, right?

Concubine Wen from Prince Zhao's mansion actually broke that boy's legs, that's a bit cruel."

"This Concubine Wen has never been such an impulsive person. Could it be that someone is behind this..."

"That's not necessarily true. It is said that Concubine Wen is in the palace..."

Hearing this, Concubine Wen frowned and looked over, only to see that they were the wives of two officials.

One is Mrs. Qu and the other is Mrs. Han.

This Madam Qu was an aunt of the Hao family who had married a long time ago, so Hao Huai had to call her aunt.

Mrs. Han grew up with Mrs. Qu, and after they got married, they often visited each other and had a very good relationship.

They were among those who had been arrested and interrogated before, and even Madam Qu was the main person responsible for instigating several ladies to go to Jingren Hall to watch the excitement.

Seeing the look in Concubine Wen's eyes, the two of them were not panicked at all. They were just talking, what did it have to do with others?

"Madams, what are you talking about? Why don't you tell me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, other people present also looked over.

They also saw the excitement here and were waiting for the next good show.

Being stared at by everyone, Mrs. Qu looked unhappy and secretly blamed Concubine Wen for being so petty.

But she was not too worried. After all, although her status was not as high as Concubine Wen, she was still the legal wife.

Besides, she has three sons, and Concubine Wen can't even lay an egg. She is just a useless woman.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qu couldn't help but look a little disdainful.

She glanced at Concubine Wen's body and picked out a piece of jewelry that was worth a thousand gold coins, and a piece of clothing that cost thousands of taels of silver per inch of fabric.

Only these mundane things can hold up the scene. Although she doesn't have these, she has three sons!

These are her confidence!

After waiting for a while without any response from the two, Concubine Wen became a little impatient: "What? Madam Qu suddenly can't speak?"

"What do you mean you can't speak? I'm just worried that Concubine Wen might pull me down and break my legs if we have a disagreement."

Madam Han pretended to be panicked and said, "What should I do? Concubine Wen is not really going to break my legs, right?"

Mrs. Han comforted her: "Don't be afraid, sister. There are so many people here. No one can lynch you for no reason."

As he spoke, he also looked at Concubine Wen with caution.

Concubine Wen took a look at them and thought that these two people were pretending so well.

"you--"

"Ah~~"

"what--"

Two equally panicked screams were heard.

Concubine Wen: "..."

She hasn't said anything yet.

"Mother Wen, what happened? Did someone bully you?"

Concubine Wen lowered her head and saw Ruirui had arrived here at some point and was looking at her with concern.

She was stunned: "Why are you here? Aren't you at the prince's place?"

Ruirui supported her knees with her soft hands, raised her head and looked at Concubine Wen with her delicate and lovely face.

"Didn't my father leave for something? My fourth uncle said he saw someone bullying you, so I came to take a look."

Hearing Ruirui's words, Concubine Wen's eyes softened.

The men and women in the main hall sat separately, with enough space between them for a dozen dancers to dance. The child was very small, so they were worried that she would come over from over there.

“What a good kid”

Perhaps from the beginning she only took a closer look at the child because he was Ji Yunqing's child, but now she increasingly finds that this child is a rare, sincere and good child.

"I was not bullied, and they couldn't bully me."

Concubine Wen said this, took the child's hand, brought the child to her side, and asked the palace maid to add another chair.

Seeing that Concubine Wen was reluctant to pay attention to them and was talking to a child instead, Madam Qu recognized that the child was King Zhao's fourth son.

Her eyes flashed. This child seemed to be close to Concubine Wen. If she could successfully instigate them...

Thinking of this, Madam Qu said, "Concubine Wen's child is so good-looking. I wonder which family the child is from?"

Concubine Wen's face darkened slightly. She thought the child was going to be dragged into this.

Rui Rui spoke crisply and loudly, "My family, my father is King Zhao, this is my mother, Concubine Wen, this is my mother, don't you know her?"

Mrs. Qu didn't expect that it would be the child who spoke, and in such a way. She was stunned, but soon reacted: "You child, I am asking about your biological mother."

Ruirui looked at her strangely and said, "My biological mother is in Prince Zhao's Mansion." Where else could she be?

Madam Qu was persistent in trying to sow discord between this boy and Concubine Wen: "Then why don't you stay with your biological mother?"
