Upon hearing this, Ms. Ma frowned slightly.

“My lord, it is not the Princess Consort of Yu who is beating Deshan, but clearly she is slapping our East Palace in the face.”

“I know.” Li Jixian said with a playful expression, “After all these years, I’ve never seen a woman with such audacity before.”

“My lord, what do you plan to do? If we let this go, won’t we become the laughingstock of others? Our esteemed East Palace was slapped in the face by a mere woman, the Princess Consort of Yu.”

Li Jixian said indifferently: “If you could restrain yourself a little, not drive people to desperation, they wouldn’t have taken action.”

“My lord, you know why I did those things… I was doing it for the sake of our son…”

“Shut up.” Li Jixian’s eyes darkened, “Fool.”

Ms. Ma lowered her head.

Li Jixian continued, “You killed the palace maid beside the emperor’s eldest grandson, and the Princess Consort of Yu beat your eunuch in return. It’s just an eye for an eye. What’s wrong with letting her vent her anger? It will only show your magnanimity as the Princess Consort, not being bothered with her.” “My lord, I can’t swallow this anger. What’s more urgent right now is not Deshan, but the fact that the Princess Consort of Yu is clearly unwilling to send the emperor’s eldest grandson back. This makes me a little worried. What if that child said something?”

“That would be normal.”

“What should we do then?” Ms. Ma frowned, “He shouldn’t dare, right? In these six months, haven’t we managed to terrify him enough?”

Li Jixian said calmly, “Xiaoqian is the emperor’s eldest grandson; it’s not up to her whether she wants to keep him or not.”

Ms. Ma’s eyes lit up: “I will immediately request an audience with Emperor Father and Queen Mother!”

It was almost dark outside.

She hurriedly changed her clothes and, with the support of a palace maid, went to see the Empress.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning was already there.

How had she arrived so fast?

Ms. Ma was secretly surprised and kneeled to salute the Empress.

The Empress was lounging on a couch, eating chilled lychees peeled by Jiang Ning.

The lychees were placed on a plate of ice cubes.

Chilled lychees were sweet and refreshing.

The Empress was enjoying herself, her face full of a faint smile.

“How thoughtful of you, I’ve been craving something cold these hot days.” The Empress looked at Jiang Ning with a gentle and kindly smile, “You suffer so many ailments yourself, and have to take care of two children alone, just thinking about it makes one feel sympathetic.”

Jiang Ning passed her a white lychee and laughed, “I am not alone, aren’t Emperor Father and Queen Mother here? I like to chat with Your Highness and don’t feel tired.”

The more she said this, the more the Empress felt reassured. She reached out, peeled a lychee herself, and fed it to Jiang Ning’s mouth: “Don’t just let me eat alone, have a taste.”

Seeing this scene, Ms. Ma’s heart turned cold.

They were both daughters-in-law, but after being married to the royal family for so many years, she had never received such treatment.

The Empress glanced at her and said indifferently, “It’s so late, why has the Princess Consort come? Get up.”

Ms. Ma stood up and smiled, “This daughter-in-law came to pay respects to Queen Mother. I didn’t expect the Princess Consort of Yu to be here as well.” “The Princess Consort of Yu often visits the palace to pay her respects, despite her inconvenient mobility. She goes to all this trouble, running back and forth.” The Empress spoke lightly.

This statement already carried some implications.

Although her mobility was impaired, she still frequently came to pay respects and be filial. Compared to her, the able-bodied Crown Princess, who lived in the palace, rarely appeared where the Princess Consort of Yu was. It was clear that she rarely visited the palace at all.

Although the Empress was praising the Princess Consort of Yu, in reality, she was ridiculing the Crown Princess and expressing her dissatisfaction with her.

Ms. Ma’s heart filled with resentment, but she forced a smile: “The Princess Consort of Yu is indeed filial, but I have been busy all day, and also have to teach and care for several children. I have been too busy to remember. Now that the emperor’s eldest grandson has left the palace early in the morning and still hasn’t returned, I can’t even eat my meal out of worry..”
