"Oh? What is making you so happy?" Ice Luan Spirit Bird had left and Huang Bei Yue became more at ease.
She had found it surprising as to how happy Dong Ling was.
Dong Ling covered her mouth and said in a small voice: "When I was on my way back, I saw Pei Xiang. Concubine Qin had vented her bad temper at her!"
"Why was Concubine Qin in a bad temper?"
Dong Ling smiled: "It's due to Princess Hong Ling's birthday banquet from yesterday. Prime Minister Qi had gotten angry!"
Yesterday Xiao Yun had said those words in front of the young misses and masters which soon spread out towards the noble ladies in the imperial capital. Everyone had said that those who are not in the same family won't go in the same door. How the mother was like, the daughter naturally will be like that too.
And how the young sister was like, will the older sister be any better off?
The wife of Ping Bei Hou was a famous and dignified person ever since she was a child. After she was married to Ping Bei Hou, she had taught her ways to her child. She was a model among the noble ladies.
This time, because of a scandal that had happened in the past regarding her second sister, her reputation was tainted. How could she be happy?
Princess Hong Ling was also influenced by Xiao Rou's improper behavior, which led her to be the object of private discussions among the young misses. Her development with the third prince was originally pretty good yet after yesterday, the third prince was cold and indifferent towards her.
Princess Hong Ling had run to the wife of Ping Bei Hou and cried. It had happened that the wife of Ping Bei Hou was also unsatisfied so she got angry and told this problem to the wife of the Prime Minister.
The wife of Ping Bei Yue was the daughter of the wife of the Prime Minister. The wife of the Prime Minister and the mother of Concubine Qin had strived for favoritism over the years which led the prefecture to be unpeaceful. Now due to this situation, the wife of the prime minister now had something to use against her.
That night, the wife of the Prime Minister had a pillow talk with Prime Minister Qi. After that, Prime Minister Qi was infuriated!
His daughter's reputation and his favorite granddaughter's future, Concubine Qi and Xiao You would never catch up with these two people's status in Prime Minister Qi's heart.
This morning, Concubine Qin had made servants go to the Prime Minister's Prefecture to send gifts. Originally it was large quantities of top-notch blood swallow that she had bought at an expensive price. She wanted to send some to her mother and naturally, she also wanted to please the wife of Prime Minister Qi and the wife of Ping Bei Hou. So she had sent some over to them too.
Who knew that the servant had just entered the door of Prime Minister's Prefecture when they had met Prime Minister Qi who had just got off the royal court. Prime minister Qi was in a fit of anger at that moment and had seen that it was a servant sent by Concubine Qin. He automatically told people to kick them out.
The servant who had sent the gift wasn't smart. They had mumbled a few sentences under their breath and it was heard by Prime Minister Qi. Under his wrath, he had let his people beat the servant half to death. Then he commanded the people that from now on, anyone that is from Concubine Qin's place wouldn't be allowed in the prefecture at all!
That servant was carried back to Princess Zhang's Prefecture and he reported back to Concubine Qin. Concubine Qi had turned pale in that instant. She had fainted for a while and after she had woken up, she kept crying as tears fell down her face. She had relieved her bad temper by yelling at servants.
This time, it was impossible to count on Prime Minister Qi to save Xiao Zhong Qi.
Prime Minister Qi was someone who values his reputation. When she had made a mistake in the past, Prime Minister Qi had kicked her out the family door. After all these years, that anger had gradually diminished. Plus, now that she slowly had some status in Princess Zhang's Prefecture, Prime Minister Qi had slightly accepted her and her two children.
But who knew that that incident was scooped out by someone again!
Xiao Rou cried and explained what had happened yesterday at Prime Minister's Prefecture. Concubine Qin was so mad that her eyes had protruded out.
What a good Xiao Yun! What a good Concubine Xue!
After Huang Bei Yue had heard everything, she had held onto her stomach and laughed very hard.
"Concubine Xue and Xiao Yun really do have some skills. Just a couple of words and Concubine Qin had lost their support from the Prime Minister's prefecture."
