Madam Zheng was just feeling wronged, and after hearing what Concubine Zhi said, she was so sad that she burst into tears.
Concubine Zhi’s purpose was just to make the princess uncomfortable. She naturally knew it, so she sighed as Zhifei said, “My lady, don’t blame the princess. She is a little maid in her palace and has a bit of rough hands and feet… Alas…”
The meaning she expressed was that the princess indulged the palace maids to commit violence against her. Because of her identity as the princess, she could not speak out directly, and could only say that the palace maids were not. She thought to herself that although Concubine Zhi was stupid, she was not so stupid. She should have understood what she said.
Sure enough, Concubine Zhi yelled in surprise, and looked at the princess with incredible eyes and said, “Princess is usually quiet and quiet, how could she do this? Madam Zheng is an old nanny next to the queen. If you indulge the palace maids to hit her like this, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face?”
For a moment, all the sounds of chattering or whispering around fell, and everyone looked at Concubine Zhi and the princess in a daze, for fear of saying another word and leading the fire to themselves.
The princess did not respond to Concubine Zhi’s words, but gently lifted up the tea on the table, took another sip, and said to Mama Zheng with a smile, “Is the food, clothing and expenses in Fengxiang Palace all under the care of Mama Zheng?”
Mama Zheng was reluctant to hear the princess’ question, but looked at Concubine Zhi in a confused manner, and then looked at the princess and said, “This… is what I care about.”
Concubine Zhi was neglected and was already so angry that she was already half angry. When she saw that the concubines next to her looked strange, she became even more angry and said coldly: “
It doesn’t matter if the princess doesn’t reply to my words, but the way to change the topic is also old. Madam Zheng is the highest-ranking madam in the empress’s harem. If the food and clothing are not her, can it be controlled by your servants in the palace?”
As soon as Concubine Zhi said, the concubines next to her laughed and laughed.
The princess was not annoyed, and she still had a smile on her face, and then hooked her towards Mama Zheng, making her closer to her.
“Madam Zheng,” the princess’s voice was a little low. In addition to her and Madam Zheng, there were Chu Nianhe and the other two, and others did not hear it clearly.
“This tea is not like the new tea that came to the palace this year. I don’t know how Madam Zheng cares about the food and clothing cost of Fengxiang Palace, and can’t even see such a big mistake?”
The princess finished this slowly, regardless of the shocked expression on Madam Zheng’s face, put the teacup back on the table, and said to her: “Madam, I heard that you have a son who is about to marry, because the woman’s family is a wealthy family and she asks for more brides. Is this true?”
The princess couldn’t understand the meaning of Madam Zheng relied on her position in Fengxiang Palace, and because the concubines who came here on weekdays were afraid of all the concubines who came here on weekdays.I was afraid of the queen, so I didn’t dare to say anything after drinking ordinary tea. Then I secretly changed the best Biluochun in the palace to go outside to exchange money.
Madam Zheng was already scared. It was not big or small. If the queen knew about this, the punishment would be small. In the end, she would lose trust in the queen. If she lost even this thing, the face she had cultivated in the palace for many years would be gone.
Concubine Zhi couldn’t hear what she said, but she saw that the princess’s face had not changed much, while Madam Zheng’s face turned red. She rolled her eyes and smiled coldly again, “Princess is really true. It depends on the owner when you beat a dog. Just bully people in your own palace, this is the Fengxiang Palace of the Empress! It’s too unreasonable to bully Madam Zheng here!”
Concubine Zhi held her breath in her heart, just waiting for the princess to pick out the paper, so that she could establish her majesty.
But the princess was like a soft goose-scattered pillow, and no matter what she said, she seemed to have no reaction. Concubine Zhi became more and more upset, and her words became more and more cruel.
The princess still didn’t say anything, but just glanced at Madam Zheng coldly. How could Madam Zheng not understand what she meant? Although she was in a dilemma, she still bit her lip and suddenly turned around and faced Concubine Zhi sitting opposite her.
“Isn’t you afraid of making the Empress angry about this here?”
Although Madam Zheng’s voice was not loud, there was a little coldness in her tone, which made Princess Zhi feel a little stunned.
