Chapter 181 The Crown Princess Comes to Make Trouble
Zhao Yaxue drooped her face and said unhappily,
"Lv Liangyuan is thoughtful. My sister is well-versed in knowledge and will definitely be the first to give birth to my cousin's child."
Only at this moment did Lu Liangyuan realize how stupid she was. Mentioning the child at this juncture was like kicking against a rock!
She was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. She quickly knelt down and saluted.
"I don't dare."
"Humph! I don't think you dare. Who is this Crown Princess' cousin? How can he allow a bastard to be born before his legitimate son is born? Don't think too much and just behave yourself."
"Yes. I dare not."
Several people expressed their opinions in unison, with great fear and trepidation.
Zhao Yaxue's expression brightened this time.
*
"Princess Consort, please don't be angry. No matter which sister gave birth to the child, it is still your child. They all have to respect you as a mother, right?!"
Qian, the lowest-ranking and unknown concubine, suddenly spoke out in a somewhat unconvinced tone.
"you?"
Before Zhao Yaxue could say anything, her nurse, Nanny Yun, hurried forward and gently pulled Zhao Yaxue's sleeve, whispering a few words to her.
Then, Nanny Yun cleared her throat and said,
"The Crown Princess was generous and agreed to Lu Liangyuan's good intention. She agreed to enshrine the statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, in the Great Buddha Hall."
Zhao Yaxue pursed her lips and said,
"Well, you guys have to work hard too. Don't let the newcomer Fang Liangdi get there first.
When good news comes out of the East Palace and the bad rumors are dispelled, I will report it to the Queen Mother and give you credit for the first place."
"Thank you, Princess."
Several people bowed in unison again.
"Okay, let's go! Let's go visit Fang Liangdi."
"Here."
Afterwards, everyone followed Zhao Yaxue to Yi Qiu Courtyard.
*
Yiqiu Courtyard.
When Xiaodouzi heard the news, he was the first to run out.
"Your servant greets the Crown Princess and all the young masters."
"Eh? Xiaodouzi, aren't you working in the outer courtyard? Why are you here?"
"Replying to the Crown Princess, I have been transferred to Yiqiu Courtyard for duty."
"What? Who asked you to come?"
Xiaodouzi was surprised by the Crown Princess' hysteria.
He answered respectfully.
"I was assigned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When Zhao Yaxue heard that it was the prince who sent him, the flames of jealousy in her heart suddenly burst out.
Who doesn't know that Xiaodouzi is the godson of Fugong, and the most capable little henchman under the prince? !
He also represented the prince's reputation. Zhao Yaxue tried hard to maintain her emotions and put on a forced smile.
"Okay, go tell them that I'm here with a few sisters to visit Fang Liang Di."
*
Xiao Douzi did not move, but bowed to Zhao Yaxue again and said,
"Replying to the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that no one is allowed to visit Yi Qiu Courtyard without his permission."
"What? You dare to stop me?"
The women behind her, who had already known the order, took a few steps back.
Xiao Douzi still saluted without being humble or arrogant.
"Princess Consort, please forgive me for being so bold. This is what His Royal Highness ordered, and this includes anyone in the inner court of the East Palace."
"Hahaha... Anyone? I just want to ask you, do you know the identity of this Crown Princess?
Xiaodouzi, this inner courtyard of the East Palace is all mine? Are you sure that the Crown Prince's order is for me?"
"Princess, please forgive me for being disrespectful."
Xiaodouzi still insisted.
His actions seemed like a provocation to the Crown Princess, and Zhao Yaxue's anger was completely ignited.
*
She gave orders to her two newly appointed maids, Xia He and Qiu Lan:
"Drag this disrespectful slave away and stop blocking my way."
"Yes. I obey your command."
The two newly-appointed palace maids did not dare to disobey, and it was time for them to show off. They stretched out their pointed nails and stepped forward to grab Eunuch Xiaodouzi.
How could the clever Xiao Douzi be caught by two women? He pushed them hard and they fell to the ground. He turned around and shouted to the door,
"Hurry up and lock the door. No one is allowed to enter without the prince's order."
"Here!"
The maids and young palace maids who had been waiting for orders at the gate responded loudly.
Without saying a word, the door of Yi Qiuyuan was heard to close with a creaky sound, and the sound of a bolt falling was also heard.
Concubine Zhang and several other women outside the door secretly lit a candle for Fang Liangdi inside.
Because they knew the Crown Princess's temper too well.
*
"Okay! Okay! This is a rebellion, a rebellion to the heavens! You are a bunch of disobedient dogs and slaves."
Zhao Yaxue was so angry that she was about to go crazy. When she saw the two palace maids who had just crawled up from the ground, she walked up to them and slapped them on the face with a few big slaps.
"Ahhh…Crown Princess?"
The two palace maids covered their swollen faces with their hands in pain and started crying.
"Get out...get out, useless slaves." The loud shout scared the two newly arrived palace maids so much that they were dumbfounded.
At this time, the Crown Princess no longer cared about her manners and was about to go forward and kick Xiao Douzi herself.
When the little fellow saw that things were not going well, he dodged with his nimble body and shouted,
"Your Highness, what do you want me to do? I am here!"
He ran away with a whoosh.
Zhao Yaxue suddenly heard him shout "Prince" and was so frightened that she shivered and regretted her impulsiveness.
He hurriedly looked in the direction where Xiaodouzi was running to the outer courtyard, but there was no trace of the prince. He knew that Xiaodouzi had deceived him.
He was also worried that Xiaodouzi would go and call his cousin, the prince, and decide to back out.
*
But at this moment, Li Liangdi behind him said indignantly,
"Oh, this little bean from Yi Qiuyuan is so disrespectful to our Crown Princess."
"That's right! Princess, this person from Yiqiu Court is really tough! He actually didn't listen to you and dared to run away."
Lu Liangyuan also added softly.
Zhao Yaxue looked at the tightly closed door and listened to the words of the people behind her. Her face felt hot and she felt a little embarrassed.
She turned around and glanced at the four people. She felt that they were gloating over her misfortune.
With a livid face, he yelled at the two big palace maids with red and swollen eyes,
"Go back to Zhaoling Palace and call for help. I don't believe there is a door in my house that cannot be opened."
"Yes. I obey your command."
He bowed and replied, then ran back, leaving behind the Crown Princess, who was walking back and forth angrily with a gloomy face.
*
Concubine Zhang saw that even if the Crown Princess came, she would not be able to enter Yi Qiu Courtyard, and she also saw that the situation seemed to be escalating.
Fearing that I would get into trouble, I thought about resigning.
"Princess, I suddenly feel unwell,"
"No one of you is allowed to leave today. If you want to see me make a fool of myself, you should consider whether you are qualified enough."
Zhao Yaxue's aura is overwhelming.
The four of them stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to leave or not.
*
As she was speaking, more than a dozen servants from her Zhaoling Palace came running towards her with sticks and shovels.
Zhao Yaxue didn't wait for them to greet her before she screamed,
"Open the door for me."
"Yes. I obey your command."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were heard a series of "bang bang bang" and "bang bang bang" sounds of someone smashing the door.
