When Lady Wendebo's visiting card was sent to the two palaces, Princess Qing was worried about the incident between Xu and her niece. She had a headache and a big plaster on her forehead. "Reply and say I'm busy."
Zhao Xifang received the visiting card and said, "Mrs. Wendebo wants to see me. Do you know why?"
"It should be related to Master Tan's lawsuit against her." The maid replied.
"Why come to see me for this?" Zhao Xifang hesitated for a moment, "Okay, let her come."
This matter had nothing to do with Prince Yu's Mansion or the Zhao family. Zhao Xifang was a little surprised as to why Lady Wende wanted to see her, and she was a little curious.
Zhuang Juyue soon found out that Mrs. Wendeber had sent visiting cards to the two mansions.
Although she and Tan Yijie moved out of the Wende Palace, there were spies planted by the couple in the palace.
“She wants to use Prince Qing’s Mansion and Prince Yu’s Mansion to deal with Prince Jin’s Mansion.” Zhuang Juyue sneered.
"It's a good idea, but people may not pay attention to her." Tan Yiji sneered.
"That's true." Zhuang Juyue said with a smile.
"Princess Yu has replied, Madam, please go over. Princess Qing has replied that she is too busy to entertain guests." The servant said hurriedly.
The couple frowned, and Zhuang Juyue said, "I have to let someone tell Sister Ning about this."
If Prince Yu's Mansion really becomes Lady Wende's backer, then things will be a bit troublesome.
After Zhao Xifang learned from Lady Wende that Jiang Changning was involved in this matter, she decided to get involved as well.
But she couldn't get the Chief Secretary to come forward. Prince Yu was not Prince Jin, and he didn't favor his princess consort that much. Zhao Xifang couldn't order the Chief Secretary of the palace around.
However, Zhao Xifang has a confidant in charge, who can also represent the Prince of Yu's Palace.
"I'll send someone to the court when it opens." Zhao Xifang accepted the brocade box presented by Mrs. Wendebo, which gave her reassurance.
"Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess." Mrs. Wende was very happy. She felt that the gift was worth it.
After Jiang Changning learned about this, he sneered, "The inner house of Prince Yu's Mansion is in a mess, and she still has the leisure to worry about other people's family affairs."
The case of the son of the Wende Marquis suing his mother has not yet started in court, and the drama of the possible confrontation between the Jin Prince's Mansion and the Yu Prince's Mansion has not yet begun.
At this time, General Song was reinstated and the evidence against him disappeared.
The Emperor had always favored General Song, and now that the evidence was gone, General Song became "innocent".
General Song burst into tears of gratitude and expressed his loyalty to the emperor in the morning court: "I will not let your majesty down. I will work diligently and selflessly for the public."
The emperor was pleased, "Mr. Song has always been capable."
The emperor and his minister acted out a drama of a wise emperor and loyal ministers, which made other court officials feel angry.
The morning court session ended and all civil and military officials withdrew.
General Song glanced at the censor who impeached him and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and I am a wise minister. A man of seven feet tall should be careful of the three-inch tongue of a villain. There is a dragon spring on the tongue, which can kill people without blood."
This remark made the censor so angry that his mouth trembled, "The villain succeeds, the villain succeeds."
General Song laughed heartily and walked away.
What made the Song family even more glorious was that Concubine Wu angered the emperor and was demoted to a commoner, and the second prince she gave birth to was sent by the emperor to be raised by Concubine Song.
The Queen was quite dissatisfied with this. "Your Majesty, I am the Queen and the legitimate mother of all the princesses and princes. You didn't hand over the Second Prince to me, but gave him to Concubine Song to raise. Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"I am not dissatisfied with you. He is just a son born to a commoner. Zi Tong adopted him. How will he deal with it if Zi Tong gives birth to a legitimate son in the future?" The emperor is still trying hard to "cure his illness". He believes that he will still have children.
The queen smiled bitterly, she also wanted to have a baby, but she had been married for almost ten years and there was no movement in her stomach. And the emperor had not slept with her in the past two years. How could she have a baby
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to have children," the queen said sadly.
"Don't talk nonsense, you can definitely give me a legitimate son." The emperor said firmly.
The Queen looked at him suspiciously, "Does Your Majesty really think so?"
"I really think so." The emperor stretched out his hands and held the queen in his arms.
"Your Majesty." The queen was comforted by the emperor's tenderness and no longer insisted on raising the second prince.
The Song family was also very happy. They held a grand banquet and sent out invitations to many people on the occasion of Old Lady Song’s 67th birthday.
The Jin Palace also received it. Jiang Changning didn't want to go. The Song family was Song Yirou's territory. She was pregnant now and couldn't confront them head-on. "Mother, I won't go."
"I won't go either. Song Yirou's apology last time was insincere. There's no need to give face to the Song family." The concubine said.
"Do you want to give a gift?" Jiang Changning asked.
The concubine thought for a moment and said, "Send one copy, so that outsiders won't say that our Jin Wangfu is too rude."
Jiang Changning asked Xiulan to prepare a gift as usual and send it to her on her birthday.
It was quite a coincidence that the trial at the Wende Earl's Mansion was held on the same day as Old Madam Song's birthday, September 12th.
This forced Mrs. Wendeber, who had originally wanted to attend a banquet at the Song family to take the opportunity to make more friends, to give up this idea.
Tan Yijie initially didn't want Zhuang Juyue to go to court with him, and the Zhuang family didn't really want her to go either.
After all, you can't enter the public service when you are alive, and you can't go to hell when you die.
Zhuang Juyue wanted to go with Tan Yijie, "When a husband and wife are of one mind, they can cut through metal."
"Juyue, thank you." Tan Yiji said gratefully.
"Between husband and wife, there's no need to say thank you." Zhuang Juyue said coquettishly.
This lawsuit against the mother caused a great sensation, and many people came to watch the trial.
Tan Yijie and Zhuang Juyue met Mrs. Wendebo who came in a sedan chair outside the government office. When Mrs. Wendebo saw the two of them, she blurted out: "Rebellious son, evil daughter-in-law."
Zhuang Juyue replied to her with two words, "Poisonous woman."
Before they even entered, they were already at war, and the people's spirits were even higher.
In the court, a row of bailiffs held stun sticks and looked at everyone expressionlessly.
Tan Yijie, Zhuang Juyue and Mrs. Wendebo were all people of high rank and they did not have to kneel when meeting an official.
After a while, I heard the bailiffs shouting, "Open the court!"
The prefect of Jingzhao came out with his legal advisor and another man in official uniform.
Tan Yijie didn't recognize the man in the official uniform, but he recognized the uniform.
The Chief Secretary of Prince Jin’s Palace has arrived, but where are the people from Prince Yu’s Palace
Lady Wende also wanted to ask this question. Princess Yu said she had sent someone, but where is that person
Mu Changshi sat down on the chair next to him, "Sir, let's begin."
The Jingzhao prefect picked up the wake-up stick and slapped it, "Where is the plaintiff?"
"The plaintiff Tan Yiji greets you, Your Excellency." Tan Yiji bowed.
The prefect of Jingzhao prefecture asked knowingly, "Plaintiff, who are you suing?"
Just as Tan Yijie was about to answer, there was a commotion among the onlookers.
The lawyer said loudly: "Silence, no noise is allowed in the court."
"Sorry, I'm the steward of Prince Yu's Mansion." A middle-aged man squeezed in.
The prefect of Jingzhao frowned. A chief secretary came from the palace of Prince Jin and a manager came from the palace of Prince Yu. Are they trying to make a name for themselves
I replied to every message seriously, but it always shows as no reply, and I don’t know why.
