Chapter 369: The Liar's Wife
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
At this time, the food on the table in the hall had been removed, and the palace servants were busy placing tea and some fruit snacks on the table.
"Ye Jieyu, what do you mean by glaring at me?"
The Queen Mother began to get angry.
It can be said that as soon as the Queen Mother's voice came out, the hall fell silent.
Everyone understood it.
It turns out that what happened just now when the lady of the baron was causing trouble for the old lady of the Huang residence at the gate was just a prelude.
The Queen Mother is waiting here for Concubine Ye.
Combined with previous rumors in the capital, this Concubine Ye is not favored by the Emperor.
Today the Queen Mother was destined to trample her face under her feet.
But everyone was also wondering, what kind of aesthetic taste does the emperor have?
This Concubine Ye is so beautiful, why doesn't the emperor like her?
Huang Ye didn't care what others were thinking. She stood up and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother.
"Your Highness, you are mistaken. I am not glaring at you."
Her voice was so clear, and somehow even people sitting far away could hear it clearly.
The Queen Mother did not dare to look at her son, the Emperor, who had a sullen face. She bet that on this occasion, the Emperor would not fail to give face to her, his mother.
"You just glared at me, clearly provoking me, and you still don't admit it?"
The Queen Mother suddenly slammed the table in front of her, looking extremely angry.
"I told you before, I didn't glare at you, nor did I look at you."
The same thing about Huang Ye.
Whether she glared at the Queen Mother or not, no one saw it, so of course she refused to admit it.
"You glared, and glared several times."
Xu Rou stood up to testify on behalf of her aunt.
Her grandmother is also here today. Even if the emperor wants to protect Concubine Ye for her grandmother's sake, he will not protect Concubine Ye.
If she doesn't come out and put some pressure on things now, it would be a shame to such a good situation.
"Mother, since Concubine Ye said she didn't glare at you, it's possible that you were dazzled. Let's just let this matter go."
The Emperor spoke gently to the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Ye is so disrespectful to your mother, are you still going to let her go?"
The Queen Mother asked back.
"If you don't glare at others, how do you know that others are glaring at you?"
Prince Fu had been patient for a while, and he didn't want to embarrass the Queen Mother in front of so many people.
After all, he had to save face for the emperor, as the emperor was born to the empress dowager.
Who knew that the Queen Mother would be so persistent and relentless that he couldn't tolerate it.
"I am talking about Concubine Ye. What does it have to do with you, Prince Fu?"
The Queen Mother hated the little Prince Fu so much. It was always this little Prince Fu who came out to ruin her plans. Why didn't he just die?
"You picked on the concubines in front of so many people. Where do you put the emperor's face?"
Young Prince Fu was a clever man. He immediately said that the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with the Emperor's concubines.
"Your Majesty, I heard outside the palace that this Concubine Ye is an arrogant and domineering person in the harem. After seeing her today, the rumors are indeed true."
An old voice was heard in the hall. Who else could it be but Lady Bo?
Huang Ye breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. All her preparations were not in vain. This lady of the earl finally couldn't help but speak up.
"I don't know who Madam Bo heard this from. How come I don't know that I have such a title."
Huang Ye looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please help me make the decision. If I am given this title, how can I live in the harem in the future?"
The emperor looked at the yellow leaves speechlessly.
Looking at her like this, it doesn't look like she needs him to make the decision for her at all.
Not to mention his mother and grandmother, even if there were a few more, he believed that he would not need to make the decision about the yellow leaf.
Because she can handle it alone.
The Emperor looked at his grandmother again.
"I also want to know how this palace incident got out. I wonder who told my grandmother about it."
Could Mrs. Bo say that she was just talking nonsense?
Of course not.
"These things are known to everyone outside the palace. Are the people of the Huang family relying on the fact that they have a favorite concubine to show off their power in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"
"Oh."
Huang Ye looked at Mrs. Bo.
"I don't know why my family is so arrogant in the Hall of Supreme Harmony? Can Madam Bo explain this to me?"
Huang Ye's voice was so penetrating that not only the people in the hall, but even the palace servants waiting outside could hear it clearly.
Mrs. Bo felt that Huang Ye's questioning tone made her lose face.
"Your Majesty, are you going to allow this woman to question your grandmother?"
"Don't be angry, grandma. I also want to know how Concubine Ye's family members show off their power."
The emperor spoke slowly, not forgetting to look at Huang Ye's expression.
He didn't dare to offend Concubine Ye.
He had been eating the breakfast made by Ning Yuxuan these past few days. If Ye Jieyu got angry and didn’t let her eat...
The emperor thinks this is something that cannot be thought about.
After having breakfast at Ningyuxuan, who would have the patience to eat the tasteless meals prepared by the imperial kitchen?
Seeing his grandmother choked and speechless, he continued.
"Grandma, tell me, if the family of Concubine Ye is really as you said, I will punish them."
His face became serious.
Mrs. Bo was in a difficult situation.
It was she who started the dispute between her and the old lady of the Huang family.
Even if she wanted to put the blame of causing trouble on the old woman, the old woman would not admit it.
However, the emperor was still waiting for her reply.
Lady Bo looked to the Queen Mother for help.
Although the Queen Mother didn't know what had just happened in the hall, she knew it clearly in her heart.
It must be that my mother took my instruction and deliberately looked for the Huang family.
"Your Majesty, your grandmother is old and may not remember it so clearly."
The Queen Mother was playing dumb.
"But the family of Concubine Ye must have been showing off just now, otherwise she wouldn't have said that."
"It's... it's this Ye Jieyu's grandmother who just humiliated me."
Mrs. Bo was used to people not daring to contradict her, so she spoke without thinking.
"Since Grandmother has been wronged, there is no reason for me not to help you vent your anger."
The emperor still had the same expression.
"Xiao Yuzi, go down and call them over. I really want to know how they made my grandmother suffer."
"The slave obeys the order."
Before the Empress Dowager could think of stopping him, Eunuch Yu had already walked down quickly to call for help.
The old lady and Chen were brought before the emperor. Just as they were about to kneel down and kowtow, they were stopped by the young Prince Fu.
"Oh, if you have something to say, just say it. It's so troublesome to kneel here and there. This is the person just now..."
He pointed at Mrs.
"She said that you were showing off in the hall just now, and the emperor called you over to ask how you were showing off just now."
