“Seventh Sister is right.” Jiang Yan quietly echoed.
Jiang Yuan also said, “She dared to deceive Seventh Sister even when everything was peaceful, so what are we holding back for? The relationship can’t get worse.”
Jiang Yi laughed and said, “Both of you are speaking up for her now. When did you two have such a good relationship?”
Jiang Yuan huffed, “Who said I have a good relationship with her? Just keeping things separate.”
Jiang Yan covered her mouth and giggled, “Ever since the last time when
Seventh Sister stood up for Fifth Sister and took care of the entire family of the Princess Ling’an, Fifth Sister has been so nice to Seventh Sister…”
“Shut up, can’t you keep your mouth closed while eating?” Jiang Yuan stuffed a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.
Jiang Yi pulled Jiang Ning aside and said, “Listen, my dear sister, can you let us know in advance the next time you’re planning something? We’re no nameless clan in the Jiang family, so we might as well help you out.”
“I know. When I need your help, I’ll certainly not be courteous. It’s just dealing with a few women, it’s nothing serious.” Jiang Ning smiled.
To deal with the Crown Prince, she needs the Jiang family’s help, but to deal with a few resentful women in the boudoir, she doesn’t need any help at all. “Father and Mother told me to look after you. If you cause any more trouble, they will kill me.”
“That won’t happen.”
“You underestimate your position in Mother’s heart. Before you were around, Mother was listless, but now that you’re back, look at Mother! She has never been better. So, you must take good care of yourself.” Jiang Yi said earnestly.
“The way I protect myself is to take the initiative, eliminate the hidden dangers, then naturally, I will be safe.”
“You really are a fighter, aren’t you? According to my calculations, the Prince of Yu is about to return. You should get your house ready, at least prepare something for the New Year, not leave it cold and deserted.”
“I know.”
Jiang Ning is not interested in preparing for the New Year.
All she wants to know now is whether the Crown Prince and his consort in the East Palace got reprimanded by the Emperor.
As she expected, the Emperor was furious.
The End-of-Year Sacrifice Festival, where the imperial family provides porridge to the public, had been a tradition for many years.
Before the Crown Prince was chosen, the event was led by the Empress and the concubines, and there had never been any problems. Over the years, it has certainly earned the royal family a good reputation.
The Emperor was very satisfied with this, and thus the tradition continued. Now that the Crown Prince was chosen, this task fell on the Princess Consort. Who knew that she would mess up the whole thing the first year she was in charge?
Not only did she let the Imperial Guards drive away the common people, she also wasted the porridge, and the Princess Consort was even taken advantage of by someone.
It sparked a lot of criticism from the public.
How could the Emperor not be angry?
He was so angry that he summoned the Crown Prince and slapped them both on the face.
Li Jixian covered his face, glaring fiercely at Princess Consort Ma.
Ms. Ma knelt on the ground, her head hung low.
“Useless!” The Emperor roared, “What’s the use of you? You can’t do a single thing right! You’re nothing but a disappointment!”
“Emperor Father, calm your anger, your son deserves to die!” Li Jixian continually kowtowed.
“Go back and reflect! Without my orders, you are not allowed to leave the East Palace!” the Emperor said furiously, “You two have greatly disappointed me!” “Your son deserves to die.”
Li Jixian did not dare to argue, he just kept on kowtowing and apologizing.
Ms. Ma attempted to argue, “Please calm down, Your Majesty, and please hear your son’s explanation. If it hadn’t been for the intentional instigation of the Princess Consort of Yu, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point…” “Shut your mouth!” Li Jixian gritted his teeth and snapped.
Taken aback, Ms. Ma didn’t dare to say more.
Once they got back to the East Palace, Li Jixian gave Ms. Ma several slaps,
He was absolutely livid.
Roughly half of the originally six-month house arrest period had passed, but now, thanks to the Emperor’s words, the period was extended indefinitely..
