Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Chapter 21 Carrying a stick to get beaten - asking for trouble!

The more the emperor listened, the uglier his expression became. It sounded like Hui'an did it on purpose, but he couldn't just believe it. In the end, he looked around and asked Qilan to point out which daughters had been in the pavilion just now.

Unfortunately, before Qilan could speak, someone stood up and bowed to the emperor with a calm expression.

"Uncle Emperor, there's no need to ask. Hui Ning also saw the whole thing in the pavilion today. She's right! It was indeed Hui An who pushed the young lady of the Mu family."

She calmly repeated to the emperor all the conversations she had heard, not even missing the domineering tone of Princess Hui'an at the time, and was fair and straightforward.

The emperor looked up in surprise, "Hui Ning, why are you here too?"

He also conferred the title of Princess Huining, the only descendant of his deceased uncle. She usually stays at home, but she has a straightforward character and one thing everyone in the city knows is that she never lies!

Princess Hui'an also widened her eyes, glaring regretfully at a girl of the same age not far away and gritting her teeth angrily.

This guy is usually taciturn and has a low presence. She sat in the pavilion for a long time and didn't notice that this damn girl was there. No one would believe what a girl said, but it was a different story when Huining spoke. Damn it!

Princess Huining had a calm expression and a quiet smile, showing that she was already used to being ignored by everyone.

"My aunt also sent an invitation to the mansion. Since I have nothing to do, I wanted to come and join in the fun."

There are indeed many daughters of wealthy families in the pavilion, but unfortunately, with the power of the eldest princess, most people dare not offend her. Fortunately, she can tell the truth here today, otherwise the child of the Mu family would have suffered in vain.

Mu Fushu was also a little surprised that there was a royal witness. After thinking it over again and again, he bowed and thanked Princess Huining solemnly.

"Thank you, Princess Huining, for your righteous words. Fushu would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my sister. I will definitely express my deep gratitude in the future!"

Huining was a little uncomfortable with his solemn thanks. She blushed and waved her hands repeatedly in confusion.

"No... no need. I am just speaking the truth. If it were someone else, you would do the same. Don't take it to heart."

Mu Fushu knew that she was telling the truth. He looked at her deeply and said nothing more. He bowed to her again before returning to his sister.

Now the matter is very clear. Princess Hui'an took the initiative to provoke the man and pushed him into the lotus pond despite his illness. The prince consort tried to find excuses to clear his daughter, but it was useless!

The civil and military ministers and their wives did not dare to say a word. They stood quietly with their heads down, waiting for the emperor's response.

The eldest princess didn't expect to be so angry and snorted unhappily.

"Hasn't Song Zhi already seen it? This princess is not short of money. If I need any medicine, I can go and get it. What could possibly happen if I got a little wet? Who knows if she was pretending to faint? How hypocritical!"

The three words "General's Mansion" had been a source of resentment in her heart for many years. Even at this moment, she couldn't help but mock him, completely unaware of her husband's sudden change of expression and the emperor's gloomy face.

The emperor looked at her deeply with disgust in his eyes. He didn't bother to ask any more questions and just stood with his hands behind his back and began to give orders.

"Huian was arrogant and did harm without cause. He is stripped of his title and ordered to reflect on his actions at home for six months. He is not allowed to leave the palace except for palace banquets. You and your wife have failed to discipline him properly. One year's salary will be deducted as compensation for the young lady of the general's mansion."

As soon as he said this, even the civil and military officials changed their expressions slightly, and looked over secretly in surprise.

The eldest princess is considered favored, so this is a severe punishment from the emperor! Does His Majesty really think so highly of Mu Yuan? Should their attitude towards Madam Mu also be changed?

After this incident, the trend among the wealthy ladies in Beijing might change!

Huining stood quietly on one side and had already disappeared into the crowd again.

She was telling the truth, and it had nothing to do with her who the emperor's uncle wanted to punish.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and even Fang Jiale looked up in surprise.

The eldest princess widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed subconsciously.

"Brother, are you crazy? Didn't Song Zhi save people? Why is he punishing An An?"

She even dared to say such things! This stupid woman really has no brains at all!

When the prince consort heard her words, he gasped and almost fell down.

The emperor's face also darkened, and he glared at her in a deep voice.

"If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will also have you imprisoned in the palace for six months?"

The eldest princess was not his biological sister, but the empress dowager had raised her for a few years when she was young and had some feelings for her, so he gave her the title of eldest princess for the sake of his mother's face.

But now it seems that this guy has been spoiled. No wonder Hui'an has followed suit and has a bad temper! It seems that he will have to have a good chat with the behind-the-scenes when he returns to the palace.

The eldest princess was still afraid of him. She moved her mouth for a long time but in the end didn't dare to say anything. She could only glare hatefully at Cheng Qin and the others not far away.

If she hadn't been concerned about her brother being here, she would have really wanted to make things difficult for the people in the general's mansion to vent her anger!

Not only did she disrupt her flower-viewing party, but she even had the audacity to complain to her in front of her brother the Emperor over a minor conflict between children!

The emperor frowned at the first glance, waved his hand, and made the decision.

"Since the child was injured at the Princess's house, Madam Mu, you should take the child back to your residence for treatment. Song Zhi, you should also go with him. After you are sure the child is okay, return to the palace.

Since your two families are so at odds, you won't need to send invitations to the General's Mansion for banquets at the Princess' Mansion in the future, and Madam Mu, you don't need to set foot here again, lest your child be harmed by someone so blind as to not have time to think. "

He doesn't want to deal with these two families' troubles anymore!

After venting her anger, she no longer had to see the annoying people and there was an imperial physician to treat her daughter. Cheng Qin held her daughter with tears in her eyes and almost kowtowed to the emperor three times again.

Mu Fushu also hurriedly thanked the emperor with a serious and sincere attitude.

The emperor quickly stopped them and told them to go back home to see a doctor and take care of their children. However, he felt comfortable seeing the family's grateful expressions.

Fang Jiale was worried, so he quickly apologized to the emperor and helped carry Mu Qingli out, put him on the carriage and returned to the Mu Mansion.

Gu Luoheng was also very worried, but he turned his head to look at his father not far away and did not leave with him. He thought that as soon as the banquet was over, he would hurry back to the warehouse to find some more good medicinal herbs for Sister Ali.

After everything was resolved, the emperor did not stay long and soon took Xu Han back to the palace. Naturally, the civil and military officials also left with them. The banquet at the Princess's Mansion finally ended like this.

She was so angry that she started smashing things to vent her anger as soon as everyone left. Princess Hui'an was heartbroken because she was stripped of her title of princess and cried uncontrollably.

This is really like carrying a stick to get beaten - asking for trouble!
