If it weren't for her help, maybe she would be the Imperial Concubine now, and at least she wouldn't be bullied by Zhang Ruxin!

"No."

She choked up and shook her head, "Marrying the King of Han is good, but I miss my mother a little. I'll be fine after crying for a while. I'm sorry to have made fun of you."

She wiped her face with a handkerchief and didn't mention the bullying she had suffered.

"Are you thirsty? Let me pour you a glass of water."

"Thank you."

There was hot tea prepared on the table. Song Bushi poured a cup and handed it to her.

Zhang Rulan's emotions gradually stabilized, and she asked tentatively, "How long have you been here?"

Song Bushi said, "Just arrived."

She could feel relieved.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Ziqing came over again, "My queen, the feast is about to begin, please take a seat!"

Song Bushi wanted to stay with her for a while longer, but Zhang Rulan pushed her away, "Go quickly and eat more."

"Okay. Ziqing, you stay here with her."

After Song Bushi gave some instructions, he went to the front hall with peace of mind.

There were hundreds of banquet tables in the front hall and the back yard, and they were packed with people. There were so many royal relatives!

These are all people who live nearby. Those who live farther away probably won’t be able to make it.

Song Bushi found her seat only after being led by a maid. She sat at the same table with the concubines of the princes. She looked around and only had some impression of the third prince, Concubine Zhen.

It was the day Wang Wan'er lost her bracelet. Zhenfei testified for her, so she remembered it clearly.

The other concubines were all quite aloof, so Concubine Zhen took the initiative to greet her, "Why wasn't Princess Heng here just now? We've been chatting for a long time."

"I went to see Ru Lan."

Song Bushi looked around and found that everyone was very polite to her, except the woman sitting in the main seat who had an unhappy look on her face.

There was a layer of ice on his face, and he seemed to be hostile to her and did not hide it.

Zhen Fei gently pulled her sleeve and reminded her, "That's the Crown Princess!"

Song Bushi suddenly realized that she was originally the Crown Princess. No wonder she treated her so coldly. She was trying to stand up for her man!

She bowed and saluted, "I am so stupid that I just realized that this sister is the Crown Princess. I was really negligent just now! I hope you can forgive me."

The Crown Princess didn't give her a good face, "I'm telling you, who arranged this seat? They let me sit on the same seat with a woman of humble birth. Isn't this an insult to me?"

All the concubines knew that the Crown Princess was talking about Song Bushi. The other concubines were all from noble families, only she was a country girl!

Song Bushi shook his head in his heart. As expected, birds of a feather flock together.

The prince's woman is just like him!

However, she didn't want to make a scene at the wedding banquet, so she glanced around and just happened to see Zhang Ruxin coming over.

She came with the emperor and was Ru Lan's half-sister, so she was also brought to this table by the maid!

Song Bushi deliberately raised his voice, "Crown Princess, who says that those who were born in a humble family can't make a comeback? People have no choice when they are born. Not everyone is so lucky to be born into a noble family like you! Who wants to be born in a bad family? But illegitimate children are also human beings. They had no choice when they were born, and they don't want to be humble. It's really not good for you to kill everyone with one stick!"

The Crown Princess' eyes rolled up to the sky, and she said angrily, "Lowly is lowly, these people are destined to be lowly from birth. Don't think that just because you have a little bit of beauty and are given the title of concubine, you really have turned from a sparrow into a phoenix. In fact, at most you are just a wild chicken!"

Zhang Ruxin became so angry after hearing this that her face turned blue.

He walked up to her and slapped her in the face without saying a word!

The Crown Princess was stunned by the blow and her face felt burning with pain.

But when she saw that the person who came was the newly appointed imperial concubine, she was immediately frightened and didn't know what to do, "Your Majesty, your concubine greets you!"

Only then did she realize that the newly appointed Imperial Concubine Zhang Ruxin was born out of wedlock, and her mother was from a brothel!

Recently, people from all walks of life have been discussing this matter, and it has become known to everyone!

But no one dares to really say it!

What she said just now was a slap in her face!

Zhang Ruxin scolded, "Crown Princess, you are so proud! You are born noble, do you look down on me?"

"No! I just scolded Princess Heng!"

She explained aggrievedly, "My queen misunderstood!"

Song Bushi was shocked and said, "Really? But you clearly said she was born out of wedlock. But I'm not a bastard, so this can't be pinned on me!"

Then, pretending to be very weak and pitiful, "Forget it, I can't get rid of this blame. It would be better if you just admit your mistake. Are you treating the imperial concubine as a fool?"

The Crown Princess was furious. "How could I call you a concubine? I was scolding you for your background..."

Halfway through her speech, she saw that Concubine Ru's face had become even uglier, and she realized that she could not clear herself no matter what!

Zhang Ruxin slapped her hard again, "You cursed me behind my back and were caught red-handed, but you still don't dare to admit it? You still want to push it onto Princess Heng. Just because she was born in a bad family, does that mean she deserves to take the blame for you? With your character, you are not worthy of being the Crown Princess!"

At the female banquet, because of Concubine Ru's power, all the guests dared not speak, for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.

No one dared to stand up for the Crown Princess!

The Crown Princess' face turned red and tears of grievance flowed down her cheeks, but she did not dare to openly challenge the Emperor's favorite concubine.

After all, the prince has been getting into trouble recently and the emperor is angry, so she doesn't dare to make a big deal out of it.

But she was not convinced in her heart.

You are so arrogant now, but when the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, I will become the queen.

You will be in trouble when the time comes!

As if seeing through her thoughts, Zhang Ruxin sneered, "You'd better take good care of your man. The prince would rather be intimate with the guards... than with you... and you have the nerve to come out and embarrass yourself!"

The Crown Princess's face turned even redder, almost as if blood was dripping from it.

Now the whole city of Kyoto is filled with rumors that the Crown Prince is a homosexual, and she, as the Crown Princess, feels really aggrieved!

Speaking of this, everyone held back their laughter, and the Crown Princess no longer had the arrogance she had just now.

He slumped down in the chair, his face pale!

Zhang Ruxin sneered, "A daughter of a noble family can't even control her own man. Tsk tsk... Such a scandal has happened. It shows that daughters of noble families are really unpopular!"

The Crown Princess didn't dare to say anything and couldn't even raise her head.

Zhang Ruxin was satisfied with the lesson, so she walked towards Song Bushi and said, "Princess Heng, I will sit with you. Anyone who feels more noble than me can leave the table on their own!"

No one dared to move, everyone lowered their heads.

Song Bushi was delighted. She knew that using Zhang Ruxin to deal with the Crown Princess would be the most effective way to let them fight each other.

Zhang Ruxin was suddenly so enthusiastic towards her because she had just heard her speak for herself.

A concubine's daughter has no choice. If she had a choice, who would want to be a concubine's daughter?

Who wants their mother to be a prostitute?

This should be Zhang Ruxin’s concern and also her inferiority complex.
