Chapter 83 Relying on the old and betraying the old
The voice that said this turned out to be Concubine Luo.
Li Huang really had to be impressed by this woman's endurance skills. After taking away the Phoenix Seal with her front foot, she was able to lift Concubine Zhang up with her back foot.
As long as Concubine Zhang is facing her, then what difference does it make if the phoenix seal is on her hand or on Concubine Zhang's hand?
If you take the initiative to give in, you can also gain a reputation for generosity.
Concubine Zhang felt extremely comfortable after being praised by her in this way, and her writing became much more cheerful.
"You are the only one who can speak and is sensible. It is not in vain for me to love you."
Upon seeing this, Li Chuchu immediately rushed over, hugged Concubine Zhang's arm and said coquettishly: "Concubine, you are returning to the palace early this year. Why don't you let your granddaughter stay by your side to serve you, so that your granddaughter can be respectful and filial."
Concubine Zhang was so coaxed that she grinned from ear to ear: "I know you are a filial child, so you don't need to serve me. Just now your mother-in-law said that I have a strong body. If you want to serve me, then I won't become an old woman?"
Everyone else smiled when they heard this, and the cheerful atmosphere spread out, and even the palace people guarding outside could feel it.
Li Huang stepped into the palace, and the scene of happy gatherings suddenly came to a halt.
Immediately, the ladies and gentlemen stood up and saluted her one after another: "See you, eldest princess."
Li Huang waved his hand to signal them to level up, and walked straight towards Concubine Zhang who was sitting at the top.
Concubine Zhang was wearing a bright red palace dress, sitting upright, looking down at her like an elder.
"When I was outside the palace, I heard that the eldest princess is now very assertive. I didn't believe it before, but now I have opened my eyes."
The implication is that Li Huang would not be polite when he saw her.
Li Huang looked at her indifferently and said with a smile: "I don't know that a concubine can wear red clothes."
The color is red, which can only be worn by empresses of the royal palace. Concubine Zhang’s move was clearly a provocation.
"Li Huang, you are so presumptuous!" Concubine Zhang frowned and scolded sternly, "Even if I am not your biological grandmother, you still have to call me concubine based on your seniority. Even your father has never met me more than once.
Yan, is it your turn as a junior to talk too much here?"
Li Huang held his head high and said: "My father is busy with many things, so he has no time to deal with you women in the harem."
"It's just that you can wear whatever you want in your Ci'an Palace, but now you come to this Cining Palace to hold a banquet and wear red."
"What? My grandfather didn't straighten you back then, so you have to straighten yourself?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a cup flew towards her face.
Li Huang turned slightly and the cup shattered on the ground.
Snapped!
The porcelain pieces were scattered to pieces, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly froze.
Those fateful ladies were so frightened that they dared not speak out. They wished they could find a tunnel to escape where they were.
The most powerful women in the royal family are fighting. Little fish and shrimps like them don't dare to watch the fun here.
So, someone took the lead and said: "Touch, eldest princess, I remembered that there are some things at home, so I took my leave first."
With someone taking the lead, the rest of the female family members followed and left one after another.
The main hall, which was originally full of people, was mostly filled with people.
Concubine Zhang's face suddenly dropped.
"Li Huang, you are simply disrespectful. Today, I will teach you a lesson for your dead mother."
"Someone, slap me!"
When Li Chuchu saw this, a flash of joy and joy flashed across his eyes, but he knelt down hypocritically.
"Taipei, please calm down. The eldest princess has no intention of disobeying you. She was just rejected by Prince Gu and she couldn't adjust for a while..."
Ling Yuan almost died on the sidelines. This second princess was clearly adding fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, after hearing Li Chuchu's words, Mrs. Zhang's anger not only did not subside, but became even more intense.
"Isn't he just a man? If he is rejected, he will be rejected. What's the point of venting his anger on his own sister?"
"Don't be afraid, Chu Chu. I have made the decision for you. I will go and intercede on your behalf and ask my father to exempt you from the grounding and let you leave the palace."
With that said, she got up and walked out.
But Li Huang stopped her and said with a stern face: "Please ask the concubine to change her clothes before going, otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for my imperial aunt who married to Yuezhou."
Princess Anyang, the daughter of Princess Zhang, was married to Liu Wenda, the prefect of Yuezhou.
For so many years, Concubine Zhang had dreamed of transferring her son-in-law and his family back to the capital from Yuezhou, but to no avail.
Now that Li Huang mentioned this, her face became even more ugly: "Are you threatening me?"
Li Huang: "I don't dare, but my father has always respected my grandmother. If he knew that you not only occupied her palace to hold a banquet, but also openly wore red in the palace, I don't know what he would do.
Will be angry."
When the emperor is angry, he will not deal with an old lady like Mrs. Zhang who is almost buried in the loess. However, it goes without saying that she can give Yuezhou some color.
Concubine Zhang obviously also wanted to understand this. She snorted coldly and went back to her Ci'an Palace to change clothes, supported by the palace servants.
Concubine Luo Guifei and Li Chuchu looked at the arrogant Li Huang with gloomy eyes, hating them to death.
However, I still have to pretend to be kind on the outside.
Luo Shi sighed and said: "Concubine Zhang is just having fun, so why should the eldest princess care about such minutiae with her?"
Li Chuchu helped: "That's right, even if Mrs. Zhang goes too far, she only comes back to live for ten days and a half a year. At her age, how many more years can she have? Why bother with the eldest princess sister?
If he contradicts her like this and spreads his popularity, won't it mean that others will say that my sister is unfilial?"
The idea of the mother and daughter singing and drinking sounds somewhat reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it's not the case at all.
Li Huang looked at Luo: "The imperial concubine has been in charge of the harem for so many years, but she doesn't even understand the slightest rules? Could it be that after I moved out of this palace, you wore a red outfit every day in an attempt to replace my mother's position?"
Concubine Luo was choked by her question, and then she shook her head: "I don't dare."
If she dares to wear red, the old emperor won't tear her apart?
Li Huang sneered and turned to look at Li Chuchu: "The imperial sister is quite filial. My direct biological imperial grandmother has never been called so kindly, right?"
"She is the late emperor's concubine, how can she be regarded as an elder of this palace?"
"I respect her as a concubine. That is to give her face. If I don't want to respect her, no one can say anything bad about me!"
"What? The imperial sister is so filial. How about I go talk to my father and let you adopt the name of Princess Zhang and become her legitimate granddaughter?"
Li Chuchu's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a thud: "Chu Chu is wrong, elder sister, please don't be angry, Chu Chu will never dare to do it again."
