The Empress Dowager was truly angry this time.
Therefore, when she saw Chu Qianqian, and Chu Qianqian also complained to her, the Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with Chu Qianqian's faults.
"Feiyan was just kindly teaching you the rules. It's one thing that you didn't listen, but you actually turned around and slandered Feiyan to me?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Qianqian, finding her more and more displeasing.
"Where is the Princess Consort Ling? Why isn't she by your side to discipline you properly?"
Just then, Princess Consort Ling and Chu Qianli arrived.
Before they could even pay their respects, Nanny Dian said displeasedly, "Princess Consort, Princess Qianqian is ignorant, are you also ignorant?"
"Nanny, what's going on?"
Princess Consort Ling, without time to introduce Chu Qianli, quickly went in and paid her respects to the Empress Dowager, saying, "May Mother Empress be healthy!"
With a glance, she saw Chu Qianqian kneeling before the Empress Dowager, and her heart suddenly sank.
She immediately said, "Mother Empress, it is my fault for not disciplining her properly. I beg Mother Empress for forgiveness!"
Chu Qianqian almost couldn't help but cry out again.
Although she didn't dare to cry out loud, tears already filled her face: "Imperial Grandmother, Qianqian is not wrong. Why should Qianqian have to give way to Sister Feiyan..."
"I know you don't like the rules I taught you, but even if you don't like them, you shouldn't have hit me."
Chu Feiyan looked at her, feigning helplessness: "If I hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been me who was hit."
Chu Qianqian's almond eyes widened, and she was stunned: "I, I didn't..."
"Qianqian!" The Empress Dowager looked at her, her face darkening: "From now on, you are not allowed to be disrespectful to Feiyan again, otherwise, I will deal with you properly!"
"Imperial Grandmother, I didn't, I really..."
"Qian'er, why don't you quickly apologize to Feiyan?" Princess Consort Ling, not wanting to escalate the situation, immediately rebuked her, "Quickly tell your Imperial Grandmother that you won't do it again."
"I..." Chu Qianqian looked back at her mother.
The tears in her eyes were crystal clear, yet she dared not let them fall.
Because her mother's eyes were full of warnings.
She knew she couldn't be willful. Being willful in front of the Empress Dowager would harm her father.
But she was truly not wrong.
It was Chu Feiyan who framed her!
But she dared not say anything.
Because she was afraid.
Even her mother was afraid of Chu Feiyan, so how could she not be?
Chu Nandong also stood aside, lowering his head, not daring to speak.
The banquet had already begun, and everyone was waiting outside for the Empress Dowager to come out.
But in the Empress Dowager's palace, it was silent.
The Empress Dowager didn't want to make things difficult for Princess Consort Ling, she was just unhappy seeing Chu Qianqian so presumptuous.
"Qian'er!" Princess Consort Ling reminded her again.
Finally, Chu Qianqian lowered her head, bowed, and said, "It is my fault, I shouldn't..."
"But, Princess Qianqian and Princess Feiyan, you are both princesses, with the same status. Why should Princess Qianqian have to bow to Princess Feiyan? And if she doesn't bow, she gets hit?"
A clear voice interrupted Chu Qianqian's apology.
Everyone finally noticed that a young lady had entered with Princess Consort Ling.
The Empress Dowager's gaze also followed the sound.
Upon seeing her, her eyes immediately lit up.
What a stunning beauty, capable of toppling kingdoms!
When did their imperial city produce such a peerless beauty?
However, while she was beautiful, her expression and demeanor at this moment were a bit arrogant.
Nanny Dian, after a moment of astonishment, quickly calmed down.
Her face suddenly darkened: "Presumptuous! Whose daughter is this, daring to be so disrespectful before the Empress Dowager?"
