Chapter 367: Only Deserve to Drink Northwest Wind
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Mrs. Bo felt extremely proud at this moment.
Look, among so many people, is there anyone like her, whose daughter is the empress dowager, whose grandson is the emperor, and whose granddaughter is a concubine in the harem...
Just ask which old lady is as glorious as her.
"To say that you came to the palace to beg for money is flattering you. Your family is not worthy of being left alone at the gate. I don't know why you are so arrogant."
Mrs. Bo looked at the old lady and continued to humiliate her without any courtesy.
The old lady sat up and bowed without being humble or arrogant.
"I entered the palace today because I received an invitation from the royal family. Even if I have to work hard, I will work hard for the royal family."
She looked at Mrs. Bo seriously.
"I wonder if Madam Bo thinks what I said is right or not?"
The Lady Bo is actually very similar to the Queen Mother. They are both bullies at home, or they use their status to act unruly.
When ordinary people encounter them getting violent, they will just consider themselves unlucky and say a few words to beg for mercy.
The old lady will not tolerate her. If she begs for mercy today, her granddaughter will be laughed at in the harem.
So she refused to give in.
Isn't it just a verbal fight? As long as she is right, she is not afraid.
Faced with someone as stubborn as the old lady, Lady Bo didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Shouldn't this old bitch beg for mercy timidly?
The emperor is her grandson.
"Very good. Your granddaughter is domineering in the harem, and you actually contradict me in public. You wait and see..."
The lady was so angry that she pointed at the old lady and gasped.
Just at this moment, Concubine Du came over with her people.
It turned out that when they just started arguing, someone went inside.
There is no queen in the harem now, and the only one in charge is Concubine Du.
When she heard the visitor say that it was the Empress Dowager's mother who was looking for trouble with Concubine Ye's family, she hurried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
She was afraid that if she arrived late, Ye Jieyu's family would suffer.
Concubine Du came over with the palace maids and stood in front of the two people.
Including the old lady, everyone present bowed respectfully to Concubine Du.
It is not an easy task for Concubine Du to manage the entire harem.
Concubine Du politely returned a half-bow, then looked at Lady Bo who was holding her head high and looking down at her.
"Today is the day when the palace holds a New Year's Eve banquet. I wonder if Madam Bo can give me some face and let this matter end here..."
"Who do you think you are? You want me to give you face..."
Mrs. Bo didn't wait for Concubine Du to finish her words and started to attack her rudely.
Princess Du had never seen anyone so disrespectful before, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
"Qiuyan, go and ask the emperor to come over. I'm afraid that except for the emperor, no one here would be worthy of this lady's favor."
Qiuyan agreed and wanted to leave.
"You're not allowed to go."
Mrs. Bo stopped Qiuyan.
She knows her own family affairs. Her grandson, the emperor, is not someone who is easy to talk to.
Maybe he knew about it and still felt bad for embarrassing him in front of so many people as his grandmother.
The wife of the Crown Prince in the Bo Mansion had already given up hope, but when she saw Concubine Du coming, she felt hope coming back.
"Mother-in-law, there are so many people watching?"
She reminded him again out of exhaustion, hoping that her mother-in-law would calm down.
Mrs. Bo now felt that the matter had become too much, and the Huang family had been humiliated, so she backed down accordingly.
"Forget it this time. You met someone like me who is kind. If you met someone who is unforgiving, you..."
That meant that she let the old lady go and wanted the old lady to be grateful.
"Thank you, Madam, for your guidance."
The old lady faced the crowd of onlookers again.
"I only know one thing: if you have the truth, you can conquer the world. Even if it goes to the end of the sky, I will still fight for it."
"You...you wait..."
Mrs. Bo rarely gets angry because it affects her health, but she was indeed angry this time.
She looked at the old lady and her daughter-in-law with a gloomy face, then walked to her seat without saying a word.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Concubine Du looked at the old lady apologetically, then left with her people.
She was very busy today, so it was okay that she was facing the Queen Mother's mother.
Next, she would have to face the possibility that the Queen Mother might take action at any time.
That's the big thing today.
The Crown Prince's wife did not follow the Earl's wife. Instead, she stopped and bowed deeply to the old lady.
"That's just the way my mother-in-law is. I hope the old lady will forgive me."
The old lady was a sensible person, and she also knew that the Crown Prince's wife could not do anything to her mother-in-law.
"My dear Madam, I am sorry for the trouble. This matter has passed. I will not take it to heart."
The Crown Prince's wife was relieved.
Now she just hoped that her fussy mother-in-law would not cause any more trouble after the palace banquet began.
After such a long delay, it is now time for the palace banquet.
The emperor walked in first, followed by the emperor emeritus and the empress dowager.
As the position of Queen is vacant now, the concubines in the harem are not of high enough rank, so only Concubine Liang and Huang Ye attended today's palace banquet.
No...there is another one, and that is Xu Rou who is supporting the Queen Mother.
Although her position is not high enough, she has an aunt who is the empress dowager.
Huang Ye is in a very, very bad mood now.
Just now, Concubine Du sent someone close to her to find her and told her everything that happened in the hall.
At that time, she was preparing to go with the emperor and others to visit her grandmother and mother, but she didn't expect to hear something that made her so angry.
It was clear that Lady Bo was instructed by the Empress Dowager to humiliate her family.
Can Huang Ye tolerate this?
It would be her luck if the lady of the baron kept quiet today. If she dared to make trouble again...
If Huang Ye didn't make her doubt her life, she wouldn't be named Huang.
She didn't care that the old bitch was the emperor's grandmother, as long as she dared to touch her family...
Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted. The emperor raised his hand and gently asked everyone to sit down.
Then he gave his usual speech before dinner.
Just as the old lady thought, they were sitting too far away, although she was trying very hard to watch.
But she was not sure that the person sitting next to the emperor was her granddaughter.
Concubine Liang and Huang Ye sat on either side of the emperor. Of course, their seats were moved a little bit back.
However, the positions of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Retired are equal to that of the Emperor.
Huang Ye was also observing those attending the palace banquet.
The main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is very large, and the place where the emperor and his entourage sit is several steps higher than the ones below.
From where the emperor sat down, there was a long aisle where male and female guests attending the palace banquet sat separately.
Men sit on the left and women sit on the right.
The palace banquet adopted the separate dining system, so each of them had a table in front of them.
On the male side, the Third Prince and Prince Fu were sitting below the Emperor.
As for the female guest...
Due to the Queen's fall, the Zhenxi Palace withdrew from the palace banquet, the stage where they sat in the first place every year.
Is there anyone sitting here now?
