"After all, we are your family members, the Concubine. We should give the Buddha some consideration, right? You actually hit someone without asking any questions. What kind of logic is that? You don't take the Concubine and the Second Young Master seriously—"

"My Lady Concubine, it was them! It was the Fourth Mistress of the Ningping Marquisate who beat me! She hit me in the face with such a huge tea tray! My face is completely disfigured—"

"You even hit my arm with the tea tray. I can't even lift my arm now! And my foot hurts so much that I can hardly stand up straight—"

"My Lady Concubine, the Ningping Marquis's Mansion is going too far! They don't take our Yu family and the noble ladies in the palace seriously!"

The Princess of Shu raised her eyebrows. Was the eldest lady of the Yu family using the noble lady Yu in the palace to pressure the Shu Palace?

Let’s not talk about the noble lady Yu first. She was just a small noble lady. Even if she got some favor from the emperor, what could she do?

At least we have to wait until the prince is born and we have established ourselves, right?

What's more, looking at the state of the Yu family's eldest lady, it is estimated that Concubine Yu will not be able to stay in the palace for long.

She smiled nonchalantly at Concubine Yu and asked, "Is the Yu family's eldest grandmother using Concubine Yu in the palace to threaten me?"

Concubine Yu shuddered, "No, I wouldn't dare! Princess, my sister-in-law definitely didn't mean that! And she definitely wouldn't dare!"

The Princess of Shu laughed ostentatiously: "If you dare, go and tell the prince!"

After saying this, he gave a clear and concise order: "The Shu Palace is too small today to accommodate the two large Buddha statues of the Yu and Guan families! Please ask the Yu and Guan family's grandmothers to go back!"

At the command, before the grandmothers of the Yi family and the Guan family could react, they were surrounded and forced out of the hall by several old women.

Listening to the unwilling voice of the Yu family's grandmother coming from outside: "Let me go! Is this how you treat guests in the Shu Palace? It's simply too bullying——"

However, the eldest lady of the Guan family seemed to have realized something. She didn't say a word from the time she entered the main courtyard until she was driven out.

Concubine Yu was worried about her sister-in-law who was driven out and the eldest grandmother of the Guan family. She stood there restlessly, looking outside from time to time.

The Princess of Shu was too lazy to look at her. "There's nothing to do here, go back!"

Concubine Yu acted as if she had been pardoned. She bowed and hurriedly said goodbye.

After the concubines had all left, the Princess of Shu beckoned the Crown Prince's wife forward and said kindly, "My dear child, you've been wronged today! Don't worry, this wrong will not be in vain! I'll search the storeroom tonight and pick out some good things to make it up to you!"

The Crown Prince's Consort had now adjusted her mood and said calmly, "It's my daughter-in-law's fault. I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and given the task of welcoming the guests to Concubine Yu. Otherwise, this mistake wouldn't have happened!"

"It's not my daughter-in-law who's been wronged today! It's my cousins-in-law and cousins-in-law who've been wronged! Especially my fourth sister-in-law, who's been listening to some gossip for nothing! As for compensation, it's my mother who should compensate my fourth sister-in-law! She suffered such a great injustice the first time she came to our house!"

The Princess of Shu naturally smiled and readily agreed: "You are right! Your cousins-in-law and cousins ​​have indeed been wronged. I must make amends!"

Then he ordered someone to go and get an apology.

The Crown Prince's Consort was such a good person, and the Hu family members were not stupid either. They all bowed to her again to apologize, saying that they were too reckless today and should have been more tolerant. Perhaps this storm would not have happened.

The Crown Prince's Consort shook her head. "The Yu family's audacity is their fault! Why should my cousins-in-law and cousins ​​tolerate this? The men in the front fought hard to gain their reputation and status. We women in the backyard cannot give in and let others trample on the dignity earned by men!"

"If we can just tolerate and resolve everything, we can just give this palace to them!"

This statement has some meaning.

However, the Crown Prince's Consort only said this, turned around, smiled, and walked over to hold Lu Zhenzhen's hand: "I was worried before that Fourth Brother's wife was such a weak person, I am afraid she would also have a soft temper! I didn't expect that she would be so happy to take revenge! It really suits my temperament-"

He pulled Lu Zhenzhen to sit down and asked her what she usually did at home and what she liked.

At the same time, he took off a gold filigree bracelet inlaid with rubies, sapphires and pearls from his wrist and pushed it onto Lu Zhenzhen's wrist: "This is my gift to Fourth Brother's wife! It's also my apology! Don't refuse it! Our two families are so close, we must visit each other more often in the future."

Lu Zhenzhen saw that the Crown Prince's wife was sincere in giving and in making friends with her.

I didn't refuse anymore and accepted it readily.

He said frankly, "You're welcome! Thank you, my cousin-in-law! If you have any uninvited guests like this in the future, just call me! I can endure this kind of grievance a few more times."

These words made the Crown Prince's wife burst into laughter.

Seeing how close the two were to each other, both Princess Shu and Lan had a flicker of satisfaction in their eyes.

Hu and the others also laughed.

Only the Zhao family got stuck in a dead end again.

She felt that among the four sisters-in-law, the Crown Prince's Consort was the only one who looked down on her.

The Crown Prince's Consort is also affectionate towards Hu and Sun, and she was also affectionate towards Lu Zhenzhen when she met her today, but she was lukewarm towards herself.

I think it's because of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and he looks down on me because I'm the wife of a illegitimate son.

After chatting and laughing for a while, the Crown Prince's wife stood up.

After all, there are so many guests in the backyard, and we can't neglect them.

What's more, since this happened first, we should be more cautious afterwards.

Looking at the time, it was almost time to sit down at table, so he respectfully invited the Princess of Shu to join him.

A group of people went to the back garden in a mighty manner.

The banquet was held in Lingbo Pavilion and Linshui Pavilion in the back garden.

These two places are next to the water. When the windows on all sides are opened, the gentle breeze from the water blows in the fragrance of flowers and plants, making it cool and providing a wide view.

The women in the back started to have a feast.

The same is true for the front yard.

Because it was the birthday banquet of the Crown Prince's wife, although many people came to send gifts, the people who might stay for the banquet were old friends and relatives of the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

In addition to the in-laws Ningping Marquis Mansion, Pingguo Duke Mansion, Sun Family, Lan Family, Jin Family and Qin Family, there are also the Yun General Mansion, the maiden family of the Crown Princess, and several other old friends.

The farce caused by the women in the backyard had already spread to the front.

The King of Shu and the Prince of Ningping, Fu Heming, were both very calm; at least nothing could be seen from their expressions.

The Prince of Shu looked towards the backyard worriedly.

After all, he knew that his prince's wife had a bad temper. She endured it today for the sake of the Shu Palace's face, but she was afraid that she would take revenge on him at night.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry about himself and had no time to care about anything else.

The second son of the Prince of Shu's Mansion, however, changed his expression. He first glanced at the Prince of Shu, then looked at the Prince of Shu, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

The hesitation in speaking was so obvious that everyone could see it.

But the King of Shu was the only one who didn't notice it, and just pulled a few old foxes of Fu Heming's generation to drink together.

However, Third Master Fu Zhiming couldn't help but lean over to Fu Zhiyi's ear and asked, "Is Fourth Brother's wife okay?"

Fu Zhiyi glanced at him coldly, raised his hand and poured a glass of wine for Fu Zhiming: "You should worry about your sister-in-law first--"
