The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Princess Xiyue led a large group of people and came over quickly.

He immediately helped Madam Pei up.

"Old General, you have been wronged, get up quickly."

Princess Xiyue respectfully comforted Madam Pei, then turned to Pei Zixuan and sneered, "Noble Lady Jing, you're just a mere noble lady, yet you dare to humiliate and disrespect such a meritorious official as General Pei!"

"Your Pei family is truly eye-opening!"

Pei Zixuan's expression changed.

Although she was a concubine in the harem, she was nominally superior to Princess Xiyue.

But in fact, in front of Xiyue, the eldest princess, even Pei Zixuan, the daughter of the Pei family, and even though she is now a noble lady, her aura is still inferior.

This Princess Xiyue doesn't even give the Queen much face.

How could a noble like me gain even a little respect from her?

Just talking about the Pei family, Pei Zixuan still couldn't control her face and turned dark.

"I am, after all, your Majesty's concubine. They were the first to insult my family..."

"Don't I have the right to seek justice for my family?"

Princess Xiyue: "Fair?"

"As for who is right and who is wrong, how about I make the final decision? First, call the Duke and his wife together and ask them carefully today, okay?"

Pei Liuniang: "No..."

Her low cry startled Pei Zixuan, who immediately lowered her head and glared at her.

Is there really some hidden secret behind this?

However, Pei Liuniang and Pei Shiniang did not dare to look directly into Pei Zixuan's eyes at this moment.

What they said before was naturally biased and exaggerated. How could they really say that they were the ones who provoked others first?

Moreover, the attitude of the uncle and the brother towards Li Qingluo and his grandson is now very friendly.

If they knew that the two of them were the ones who instigated this incident and asked the fifth sister to stand up for the family, I'm afraid they would...

When Pei Zixuan saw the looks on her two cousins' faces, how could she not understand anything?

She suppressed her anger and could only continue to endure Princess Xiyue's constant ridicule.

"Lady Jing, you abused your power for personal gain today, taking advantage of this situation and even bringing people to make a scene outside the Queen Mother's palace."

"As my father's concubine, you disturbed the peace of my grandmother. How can you be so disrespectful? What crime should you be punished for?"

"I never thought that she would appear respectful, gentle, virtuous, and well-behaved in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, but her true face in private would be so sinister and vicious."

"You really are a great singer!"

Pei Zixuan's face turned pale.

Who is making so much noise now?

However, if Xiyue were to go and arrange this in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, wouldn't everything she had done since entering the palace be in vain?

Pei Zixuan: "Princess, you misunderstood me. I was only impulsive because of my family. If Li Qingluo hadn't been so aggressive, I wouldn't have..."

Princess Xiyue sneered and rolled her eyes: "Alright!"

"I am not blind, nor am I deaf."

"You were the one who took advantage of your status as a noble lady and bullied others. Miss Li is a living being, can't she put down a few words?"

"We are members of the royal family, and we are not unreasonable lunatics. If everyone abuses their power to oppress others and they can't even speak, is there any justice in this world?"

"Also, stop pretending in front of the Empress Dowager."

"You don't even respect your great-aunt, who is of the same blood as you. I don't believe you can truly respect my royal grandmother!"

After saying that, Princess Xiyue no longer paid any attention to Pei Zixuan, who had an extremely ugly expression on her face.

He supported Madam Pei and Li Qingluo who had just stood up and walked away.

"Let's go. I'll go back with you."

"Today I will see who dares to bully others!"

Pei Zixuan pinched her palms and was about to leave quickly after they walked away.

Another familiar voice came from behind: "Lady Jing, please stay."

Seeing the person coming, Pei Zixuan tried to smile: "Aunt Fang, why are you out?"

"But did I just... disturb the Empress Dowager?"

Pei Zixuan's eyes were red, and her expression showed that she was forbearing and taking all the grievances and responsibilities she had suffered today on herself.

Aunt Fang just smiled and said, "The Queen Mother did hear the noise and asked this old servant to come out and take a look."

"As you know, Lady Jing, the Queen Mother has been accustomed to keeping quiet for many years and doesn't like lively people and things."

"If I didn't want to accompany His Majesty to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings, I would not easily step out of Ningshou Palace."

"Lady Jing, you have many sisters. If you offend the Queen Mother again, even I, an old servant, will not be able to intercede for you."

"Lady Jing, you don't have to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager for the next two days."

After saying that, Aunt Fang bowed and left Pei Zixuan and the Pei sisters in a daze, then turned and left.

"How could she be someone close to the Queen Mother..."

Pei Liuniang's face was pale and she was terrified.

Pei Zixuan looked at her in disbelief again.

Knowing that it was related to Pei Liuniang again, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

But this was the Empress Dowager's palace after all, so Pei Zixuan could only suppress the rage that was about to drive her crazy, and cursed in a low voice: "Why didn't I know you were such a fool before!"

"What good things have you done for me?"

The three sisters of the Pei family hurried away with the palace maids in embarrassment.

After hearing that everyone had left, the Queen Mother shook her head wearily and sighed, "These girls in the Pei family are truly getting worse with each generation."

Aunt Fang: "Empress Dowager, this young lady from the Li family looks to me like the beautiful young general."

"Whether in appearance or in her calm and free-spirited temperament, she is much better than the girls of the Pei family."

"Maybe it's a good one."

The Queen Mother: "So what?"

"Humph."

"If it weren't for that evil creature Xiao Wu taking advantage of my weakness, why would I have to leave the palace to carry this girl's sedan chair?"

"Even if she is Pei Xiuzhen's granddaughter, how can her family background be worthy of the precious prince?"

Aunt Fang wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Queen Dowager, isn't this what His Majesty asked you to do?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Su is in love with Miss Li. He wishes to request an imperial decree to grant her a marriage, but Miss Li's family background and social status... are indeed very difficult for His Majesty to understand."

"Isn't this just what I came up with? I'm using Xia Miao to ask you to raise that girl's status?"

The Queen Mother gets angry when this matter is mentioned.

He was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed: "The emperor is confused."

"If we had eradicated the problem back then, we would have searched for and burned this empty imperial edict. How could Xiaowu be so reckless and disregard the royal family's dignity?"

"This Li Qingluo has lived among the common people since he was young. How can he have a good upbringing?"

"Her own mother poisoned her concubine's children and then killed her own mother. She is now imprisoned and awaits execution in the autumn."

"My father has gone insane. Back then, he committed the heinous crime of confiscating our property and annihilating our entire family by falsely claiming credit for his achievements."

"My own brother is a notorious cripple!"

"There was only one Pei Xiuzhen who came out of the Li family relatively clean."

"Although she has left her clan and is no longer tied to her mother's family, won't Xiaowu be ridiculed by the world for marrying a princess like this?"

Aunt Fang didn't dare to answer.

After the Queen Mother calmed down a little, she served her a cup of warm tea.

"Queen Mother, please calm down first."

"A grandson will have his own children and grandchildren. Besides, didn't Her Royal Highness the Princess present to Your Majesty yesterday the evidence that General Li was wrongly accused by the Jiang family?"

"Perhaps General Li really did have some grievance in this matter?"

The Queen Mother: "Even if there is no such thing, now it must be there."

"The Emperor has to consider Xiaowu's face a little bit."

"Why her?"

"I don't understand."

Aunt Fang: "Your Majesty, if you pay more attention to Miss Li tomorrow, perhaps you will understand."

Princess Xiyue kept her word and personally sent Li Qingluo and his grandson back.

After Madam Pei thanked her repeatedly and politely and went in, Princess Xiyue called Li Qingluo aside.

"I knew from the beginning that Xiaowu had taken a fancy to you!"

"Sure enough, look at how much effort he has put into you."

"Even if you've suffered a little injustice these past two days, it's worth it for Xiaowu."

Li Qingluo was puzzled: "Your Highness said that..."

Princess Xiyue snorted, "Did you think I really wanted to hold a winter banquet last year?"

"Isn't it because someone forced me to do this?"

Li Qingluo's face suddenly turned red.

Xiyue: "Also, Xia Miao is also involved with you this time."

That was all she had to say. She couldn't say any more.

But she saw that Li Qingluo's face was as red as if her rouge box had been overturned, and her eyes were blinking, shining with light, not knowing who she was thinking of.

The two cheeks are as pretty as peaches in the mirror, and the eyes are as cold as spring water.

With such a stunningly beautiful woman, it’s no wonder that Xiaowu was so infatuated with her that he forced his father to issue an imperial decree.

Princess Xiyue covered her lips and smiled secretly.

Sure enough, with Xiaowu's skills, even a stone can be broken into pieces.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"I know everything about the Jiang family."

"However, the Qu family may secretly counterattack and help the Jiang family this time, so I can only guarantee that I can bite to the death and protect the lives of your entire Li family."

"As for the rest..."

Li Qingluo: "Your Highness has done his best. I am deeply grateful."

"I have another matter that I would like to ask for help from Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xiyue: "You're welcome. Tell me, let me hear what's going on first."

Night falls.

There was still singing and dancing in the front hall.

Madam Pei asked for permission to drink with the Queen Mother, so she did not bring Li Qingluo to the dinner.

Although Li Qingluo only took a small sip today, he collapsed as soon as he came back after saying goodbye to Princess Xiyue.

Mrs. Pei came to see her several times, but there was no sign of her waking up.

I couldn't help but sigh: "This girl really can't drink at all. But this drunken look is really weird."

"Next time she gets drunk, she should let Luo Fan teach her a lesson."

"How can anyone just sleep forever?"
