When they arrived at Princess Yongtai's mansion, Princess Lin of Yan handed the invitation to the doorman first. After checking, the doorman let them all in, but there was no maid to lead the way.

Lin came here every year, so she naturally knew the way to the flower hall. She didn't care about Pei Yi, Xie Zhichan, and Pei Jingyu, and just left with Pei Jingrou.

Pei Jingyu was young and in poor health in previous years, so she seldom went out. Lin never took the initiative to bring her to the Princess's Mansion, so she never came.

Now she is almost reaching the age of marriage and will have to meet a husband afterwards. In order to avoid being criticized as a stepmother who does not plan well for her stepdaughter, Mrs. Lin called Pei Jingyu to come out together this time.

So, Xie Zhichan and Pei Jingyu, who didn't know the way, had to follow Pei Yi.

When the three of them arrived at the flower hall, the hall and the courtyard outside the hall were already filled with ladies and young ladies from wealthy and powerful families.

It's so lively with all the chirping girls.

This excitement seemed to have nothing to do with Pei Yi and the other three, and no one came to entertain them.

Pei Yi knew that this was a trick played by Princess Yongtai. He really didn't like it. He sneered and said, "Princess, it seems that the 'sincere invitation' on the invitation of the Princess's Mansion is written wrong. Maybe even the invitation was sent to the wrong person. Why don't we go back?"

Xie Zhichan liked his straightforward and straightforward temper, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go back, but there are only two pots of flowers and plants, so you can enjoy them wherever you want."

Just as she was about to push Pei Yi to turn around, everyone consciously made way for them, leading directly to the top of the flower hall.

Sitting at the top was the majestic and dignified Princess Yongtai.

She looked coldly at the three people in the distance. Two of them were bastards born to the woman who stole her husband's heart, and one was the woman who occupied her son-in-law's heart.

Thinking back to the long nights she spent counting the hours, she remembered the day Anle returned home and threw himself into her arms and cried, "The prince didn't even consummate the marriage with my daughter. He didn't even want to give me the dignity of a wedding night!"

Princess Yongtai was so angry that she almost broke her nails. She wanted to let them know that if they dared to provoke her, Li Yuqiu, they had better be able to withstand her anger.

She glanced at the three people, then retracted her cold and direct gaze, and showed her royal princess's majesty and said nonchalantly: "Young man, don't be so hot-tempered. The prince has also seen that there are many people here today, and it is inevitable that there will be people I can't greet."

This simply means "You are the ones I can't deal with." Then he specifically said to Xie Zhichan: "As a wife, the Crown Prince's Consort should always comfort the Crown Prince. After all, not everyone can understand your man's difficulties like the Crown Prince's Consort."

After that, he looked at everyone and smiled, "Ladies, tell me, am I right?"

All the ladies present were from prominent families and had received a rare upbringing since childhood. It was not their place to do something like adding insult to injury in front of so many people.

But the person sitting there was Princess Yongtai, so they could only whisper in agreement against their will: "What the princess said is right."

Xiao Liu'er followed Xie Zhichan and whispered, "Miss, how can this princess be so unreasonable? She really doesn't have the slightest royal demeanor."

Xie Zhichan was worried that Xiao Liu'er would say something out of turn, so he grabbed her hand and whispered, "You are a reckless person, how can you know what 'reason' is? You better stop talking, or you'll provoke a madman."

Pei Yi looked at Princess Yongtai and sneered, "The Crown Prince's Consort is indeed not as considerate to her husband as the Princess. After all, since General Zhao became the Prince Consort, he no longer has to fight on the battlefield. Otherwise, he would be like me, spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair, marrying a woman like the Crown Prince's Consort who is not considerate to her husband."

The greatest pain in Zhao Qi's life was that he became a royal consort. As the Zhenxi General's Mansion already controlled hundreds of thousands of troops in the west, Zhao Qi had to stay away from the battlefield, away from military power, and also away from his ambition to spend his life in military service.

Princess Yongtai naturally knew about her husband's worries, but Pei Yi said it out loud, reminding her that he was in this state because he was risking his life for the Jin Dynasty.

He was extremely angry for the moment, but he could not vent his anger because his brother the Emperor had taken a fancy to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

The scene was silent for a moment. Princess Yongtai was fighting with the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and all the ladies dared to keep silent.

Although the Prince of Yan's Mansion is only a king of a different surname, it actually has 50,000 private soldiers in the suburbs of Beijing. Although the Prince of Yan is now disabled, Pei Yi is not the only one in the Pei Family Army who can lead the troops. If there is another war in the Northern Frontier, the next commander-in-chief of the Northern Frontier will have to come from the Pei Family Army, and most likely Liang Qixing.

This is why the current emperor has to give some face to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Their family does not have the ability to protect the Jin Dynasty.

This is when gods fight and the devil suffers.

At this moment, a woman in a yellow gauze dress suddenly came out, knelt in the flower hall, bowed to Princess Yongtai, and said, "My daughter Huang Baoying has something to ask today. I beg the princess to help save a good friend of mine."

Everyone then dared to take a deep breath, and the stagnant scene suddenly became as if a stone had been thrown into it, and then it began to gently clear away.

Princess Yongtai knew exactly what Huang Baoying wanted, but she pretended to ask patiently, "Oh? Who is it that needs my help?"

Huang Baoying turned her head to look at Xie Zhichan outside the flower hall, then turned back to the Princess Yongtai who was sitting at the top and said, "Recently, the second young lady from the Duke of Wei's residence came to my house and begged me to bring her to the Princess's residence and let the Princess make the decision for her, otherwise she would not survive."

Princess Yongtai drank a sip of tea and said calmly, "In this case, you can bring the person here. If there is any grievance, please tell me first. I can't make the decision for her based on your one-sided words. If that happens, someone will accuse me of abusing the rights of a royal princess."

When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Pei Yi.

Huang Baoying replied "yes" and went outside the flower hall. After a while, she brought in a haggard woman who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. But her face was sallow and her hair was dry. She didn't look like a blooming girl at all.

After everyone present took a closer look, they finally dared to believe that this little girl was indeed the second daughter of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, the concubine who often accompanied Aunt Yang to attend banquets.

But after not seeing her for a while, how come the daughter of a noble family has become like a beggar?
