The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Although he favored Aunt Qing, he also knew his own daughter very well.

Yueyin has always been well-educated and would never start trouble, let alone argue with others in public.

However, Yue Fei's personality was spoiled to the point of being a little lawless, especially since her brother treated her very well. But fortunately, she never caused any big trouble.

He hadn't seen Shangguan Yueyin for a long time, and he didn't expect that she was so determined to never go back.

But why did she come here today?

Could it be that Yueyin was still resentful after seeing Yuefei and Aunt Qing coming today, so she started the fight?

Shangguan Rui was still haunted by what happened last time, and Shangguan Yueyin's resolute attitude was particularly shocking, as if she had become a completely different person...

He asked puzzledly, "Why is Yueyin here?"

Shen Leyan held Shangguan Yueyin's hand and gave silent comfort.

She knew that Shangguan Yueyin was still very upset, and after so many days she was still full of resentment towards Shangguan Rui.

Shangguan Yueyin looked at her father whom she hadn't seen for a long time and said calmly, "Master Shangguan probably wants to ask me if I was the one who started this, right?"

Lord Shangguan?

Shangguan Rui seemed to be irritated by her tone. Originally, he didn't think that this was Shangguan Yueyin's fault, but hearing the sarcasm in her words, he knew that she was definitely involved.

Doesn’t she understand that family disgrace should not be made public? You rebellious girl!

Shangguan Yuefei was already feeling a little guilty, and when she saw her father coming over and staring at Shangguan Yueyin, she felt even more jealous.

At this moment, she found the right opportunity and came forward, "Father, you have to make the decision for Mother and Fei'er!"

"Mom just knelt down to apologize to my sister, but she still didn't show any mercy and insisted that I apologize to her too!"

Shangguan Rui was furious when he heard this. They had actually caused such an embarrassing scene in public. He pointed at Shangguan Yueyin and said, "You are becoming even more disrespectful to your elders!"

"Even if Aunt Qing is no longer one of your relatives, she is still your elder. How dare you ask her to kneel before you in public?"

Shangguan Yueyin looked Shangguan Rui straight in the eye and said, "Sir Shangguan, did you witness it with your own eyes?"

"You...you..." Shangguan Rui was speechless for a moment.

"That's right. Lord Shangguan started blaming Sister Yueyin without any basis in reason. No wonder she wants to move out and disown you!" Princess Jiayin said bluntly.

The eldest princess did not stop him this time. She also wanted to see if the facts were as the rumors said!

Shangguan Rui had lived for most of his life, and when had he ever been bullied by a junior? He said coldly, "Does the eldest princess want to get involved in my family affairs?"

"Then why didn't Lord Shangguan control his own people and actually ran around and acted wildly at this palace banquet?"

"The Princess has also seen that Yue Yin has been spoiled by the Queen Mother and I am now powerless to discipline her."

"When did I ever ask you to discipline Yueyin?" The princess sneered, "It seems Jiayin was telling the truth. In my opinion, Lord Shangguan has lost his mind."

"Why do you say that, Princess?"

"How could Fei'er still wrongly accuse Yueyin in front of so many people? If Aunt Qing hadn't knelt before her, wouldn't someone have stood up to refute her immediately?"

"According to what Lord Shangguan said, you insisted on kneeling down to apologize to me, and I couldn't stop you. Did I force you to do that?"

"Why don't you ask why they apologized to Yueyin for no reason?"

At this time, the guests on the side began to whisper, blaming Qing Yi Niang and Shangguan Yuefei for their behavior.

"Sir Shangguan, when my sister Le Yin and I came here today, we were sitting here drinking tea. The other ladies and young ladies can testify to this." Shen Leyan took the opportunity to explain.

At this moment, she felt that she could no longer call her Sister Shangguan, so she decided to call her Sister Yueyin like Princess Jiayin!

"You might as well ask Miss Shangguan why she suddenly rushed over and humiliated and cursed me."

Shangguan Rui's expression turned extremely grim. He realized that things were beyond his control. Perhaps he had misunderstood Shangguan Yueyin again...

"I didn't! It was obviously her..."

"Shut up!"

Shangguan Yuefei was interrupted before she could finish her words. She looked at her father with grievance...

Shangguan Rui glared at Shangguan Yuefei and signaled her not to speak anymore.

He said to Shangguan Yueyin with a look of regret: "Yueyin, that was not your intention just now. I was wrong to blame you!"

"If there's anything, let's talk about it slowly when we get back, okay? This is our family matter after all, so why bring it up at the Princess' birthday party?"

"I, the old man, would like to apologize to Her Royal Highness the Princess for interrupting your birthday party and ruining your enjoyment. I will let my daughter apologize to you right now."

Under Shangguan Rui's gaze, Shangguan Yuefei immediately and sincerely apologized to the princess, which was completely different from the way she looked when she was asked to apologize to Shangguan Yueyin before.

Just when Shangguan Rui thought that the matter was about to be resolved, a voice suddenly came.

"The Emperor/Empress Dowager has arrived!"

When everyone heard the voice, they all knelt down and saluted.

"Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. May the Emperor and the Empress Dowager enjoy eternal blessings, peace and prosperity!"

"No gifts."

The Queen Mother smiled and helped the eldest princess to her feet. "Today is the eldest princess' birthday. I am also following the Emperor out of the palace to celebrate with everyone. There is no need to be so reserved."

"I am truly flattered that Her Majesty the Queen Mother is here."

The eldest princess helped the empress dowager happily to the seat of honor.

After the Empress Dowager took her seat, she looked around with a smile, and then her gaze fell on Shangguan Yueyin and Shen Leyan.

Emperor Yong'an's gaze was always on Shen Leyan. He hadn't seen her for several days...

Shen Leyan felt his strong gaze and lowered her head shyly...

Emperor Yong'an then turned his attention to Shangguan Rui and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Shangguan Rui hurried forward and reported what had happened to Emperor Yong'an.

After hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly. Why did he always encounter such things every time he came?

He was very troubled by the Shangguan family's affairs. If Shangguan Rui was not the empress dowager's maternal family, he would have wanted to punish him directly if he was not his uncle!

Emperor Yong'an said coldly, "Master Shangguan, it seems you didn't take my words to heart last time?"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

"You don't dare? Then why didn't you obey!"

"I am not disobeying the Emperor's order. I simply intend to wait until Concubine Qing's injuries have fully healed before expelling her from the palace..."

Emperor Yong'an glanced at the empress dowager. He really couldn't understand his uncle's behavior.

"Alright, I don't want to hear any more of this. I let it go before, but today you must do it immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"I obey your order..." Shangguan Rui also knew at this moment that the situation was beyond redemption...

The Queen Mother also spoke up, "Yueyin has suffered injustice, and I feel so distressed seeing this."

Shangguan Yuefei was shocked. She didn't expect that the emperor and the empress dowager would be so supportive of Shangguan Yueyin.

Although she had long known that the Empress Dowager had always been fond of Shangguan Yueyin, she had never expected that she would be so favored by the Empress Dowager.

She is obviously also a daughter of the Shangguan family...

She is not reconciled!
