Qi Ruyue's questions were extremely sharp, as if she was trying to force Shi Qingxue into a blind corner.
She knew that she would not be able to cause any trouble to Shi Qingxue today, but she was not willing to let her return home in vain.
No matter what, I have to find my place in Muxueyuan.
This blind Xia Mang actually wants to stand out, so don't blame her for being rude.
In Qi Ruyue's view, if she takes a step back, Shi Qingxue will definitely take a step back.
Hand over Xia Mang obediently and let her vent her anger.
However, even though Qi Ruyue asked harsh questions, Shi Qingxue did not give in at all.
His expression also became condensed, and his voice was indifferent and distant, "What did Xia Mang do that requires Concubine Qi to teach her personally?"
"The following is a crime against a superior or a slave against the master. Which one can't I teach you a lesson from?" Qi Ruyue refused to give in.
It was as if she was really the owner of Prince Rui's Mansion.
As soon as Qi Ruyue's words came out, the atmosphere in the whole room became sharp.
The troops brought by Qi Ruyue and the servants of Muxueyuan stood opposite each other. Both sides seemed to have anger on their faces, ready to explode.
But no one dared to take action without permission, they all looked at their master.
Xia Mang was really stunned when she was beaten, but she had always been calm and composed and quickly regained her senses.
Seeing that something was wrong, he secretly tugged on Shi Qingxue's clothes.
She looked at her master with pleading eyes and begged silently: Liu Niang, don't be impulsive.
After all, Prince Shirui's Mansion here is not their Luotong Pavilion, so they can't go too far.
Just like Qi Ruyue said, no matter how reasonable Xia Mang just said, facing the master of the palace as a maid is the following crime.
You deserve to be beaten.
Xia Mang paused, feeling that he could still bear the grievance.
I just hope that my master will not be impulsive. If he really gets into a conflict with Xixiang because of this, it won’t be worth it!
However, Shi Qingxue ignored Xia Mang's pleas and instead held Xia Mang's hand and hid him behind him.
He turned back and looked at Qi Ruyue with cold eyes, "Even if Xia Mang is a maid, she is still my maid of Mu Xueyuan. It is not your turn to teach me a lesson, Concubine Qi."
"You!" Qi Ruyue's eyes widened and she was speechless for a moment.
It was a fact that Mu Xueyuan was on its own, but Qi Ruyue never expected that Shi Qingxue would say it so directly.
She felt a surge of air rush into her throat, almost suffocating her to death.
But then, she immediately realized that this was the best opportunity.
Qi Ruyue sneered and looked at Shi Qingxue mockingly, "Oh? Your maids from Mu Xueyuan are so precious, but you can't even teach the master of the palace
Shi Qingxue, I think you, Mu Xueyuan, want to leave Prince Rui's Mansion! Such an unfaithful and unjust act, I don’t think you have anything else to say! "
The vicious accusations did not hurt Shi Qingxue at all.
She didn't even raise her eyelids and replied coldly: "Qingxue is not worthy of Concubine Qi's relegation."
"You don't even recognize the master of the palace, what else do you dare not do?"
Qi Ruyue grabbed Shi Qingxue's words, how could she easily let him escape.
She now wished she could drag Shi Qingxue to Dali Temple and punish him for being unfilial and unjust.
However, Qingxue smiled lightly and asked, "When did Qingxue say that she disowns the owner of Prince Rui's Mansion?"
Qi Ruyue saw that Shi Qingxue still wanted to quibble, and just as she was about to retaliate harshly, she heard Shi Qingxue continue in an almost careless voice: "Qingxue just said, I am a member of Mu Xueyuan, Concubine Qi, you are not qualified to teach me a lesson .”
Shi Qingxue's voice was crisp and every word was clearly audible.
However, Qi Ruyue was stunned after hearing this and did not react for a while.
Qi Ruyue never expected that Shi Qingxue would say such words.
Doesn't the subtext mean that she, Qi Ruyue, is not the mistress of the palace
Qi Ruyue was so angry that she almost broke her teeth.
The servants on the side, including Xia Mang, all looked at Shi Qingxue in surprise.
His expression at that moment was as if he had seen a ghost.
No one could have imagined that Shi Qingxue would suddenly break up with Qi Ruyue at this juncture.
Without any hesitation.
Among them, Dong Shuang was probably the only one who didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He blinked his big eyes and looked at Shi Qingxue excitedly.
She just didn't wave the flag to her master and shouted, "Master, he's doing a great job."
And Shi Qingxue didn't feel that she had said anything extraordinary at all, and her expression was so calm that it was almost cold.
Qi Ruyue was frightened by Shi Qingxue's momentum for a moment and subconsciously took a step back, but then she seemed to react and stopped abruptly.
During this meal, Qi Ruyue felt that her lungs were going to explode. She shouted angrily at Shi Qingxue, "Shi Qingxue, do you want to do the following?"
Shi Qingxue raised a cold smile and asked distantly: "Qingxue is not talented. She was granted the title of Princess Zhuo by the Empress Dowager. Although Concubine Qi is the concubine of her father, she has not been awarded the rank. , how can we talk about committing crimes?"
A few words, neither light nor serious, said with great eloquence.
The sound is crisp and pleasant, pleasant to the ear.
But Qi Ruyue was not in the mood to appreciate the sound at all at this moment. She only felt that the sound was like sharp needles, all of which were piercing her face.
It was as if all her clothes were taken off, causing her to lose all face in front of everyone.
Qi Ruyue has no rank, this is something that the entire palace knows.
but!
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad Qi Ruyue is, she is also the concubine that King Rui Ming is marrying.
Who dared to slight her
Wasn't even Prince Mo polite to her
This also made Qi Ruyue, who had always been inferior to others, feel excited.
If it weren't for Prince Mo's 'notoriety', Qi Ruyue might have dared to pretend to be an elder in front of Mo Junyang.
But even so, Qi Ruyue still felt that her status in this huge Prince Rui's palace was second only to Mo Xiangrui.
Now he was suddenly suppressed by Shi Qingxue's identity.
Everything he said was true.
Shi Qingxue was actually granted the title of princess at a young age, and the Empress Dowager even generously gave her a small fief, allowing her to enjoy the fief's taxes every year.
In terms of status, Shi Qingxue was more than one level ahead of her.
A person like Qi Ruyue, who has no rank or rank, would even kneel down and kowtow when meeting the princess.
Qi Ruyue was willing to bow her head to Shi Qingxue, but she wanted to show off her status as an elder and overpower Shi Qingxue.
However, before she could say anything, she heard Shi Qingxue say slowly: "Da Mo's law says that when a legitimate son sees his father's concubine, he will not show respect or kneel down or worship."
The implication is that Qi Ruyue is a concubine, but she is not qualified to pretend to be an elder in front of the big house.
Qi Ruyue was born in a small family. Before she married into Prince Rui's palace, food and clothing were not a problem. She didn't know anything about Damo's laws and regulations.
Shi Qingxue's eloquent words left her speechless, her face turned red, and she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Qi Ruyue didn't know this at all. She originally came to find trouble, but she didn't expect to find trouble, and instead made herself smelly.
She immediately complained about the maids Su Hui and Su Jin who came with her.
Even Qingxue's maids would take care of their master's worries. Wouldn't these two maids persuade her in advance
She actually watched herself make a fool of herself - at this time, Concubine Qi didn't even think about how furious she was when she was in the west wing. After catching Shi Qingxue's "handle", she rushed to find trouble.
After a while, Qi Ruyue hated Shi Qingxue's sharp tongue again. Why didn't she explain clearly at the beginning, and actually forced her to do this? Wasn't it clear that she wanted to make a fool of herself
At this time, Concubine Qi had forgotten that she had been the one who was being aggressive just now, directly touching Shi Qingxue's bottom line.
In short, in these short few breaths, Qi Ruyue hated everyone, even Mo Xiangrui who was far away was not immune.
However, no matter how much Qi Ruyue resented her, she did not dare to be as arrogant as before when faced with Shi Qingxue's cold face.
All of a sudden, he restrained all his arrogance, and his gentle and peaceful face returned to his former self.
Qi Ruyue even showed a flattering smile to Shi Qingxue and said gently: "Qingxue, please don't be angry. My servant didn't understand the situation clearly before, talked nonsense, and almost wrongly blamed you.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and it didn't lead to a big mistake. "
Qi Ruyue said this simply because she wanted to say: Although it's my fault, you have no losses anyway, so let's just forget about it!
Qi Ruyue wanted to settle the matter, but Shi Qingxue didn't want to let her go so easily.
She glanced sideways at Qi Ruyue and asked coldly: "Then Concubine Qi just hit my maid over a disagreement, what should I do?"
Qi Ruyue was a little dumbfounded.
She felt that she had already taken the initiative to give the steps, so Shi Qingxue should follow the steps and make this matter a trivial matter.
Unexpectedly, the other party would actually become aggressive
She hit Xia Mang, but so what
A mere maidservant was beaten. What else did Shi Qingxue want
Qi Ruyue couldn't help but start to be angry again, but with Shi Qingxue's identity, she really didn't dare to be presumptuous.
After taking several deep breaths, I managed to suppress the anger.
A smile that wasn't even a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I wonder what you want to think about it? I just punished her lightly and didn't use any force. If I really hurt this girl, I will hire a doctor for her. Bar?"
This is the highest concession Qi Ruyue can make.
Even Xia Mang secretly tugged on Shi Qingxue's sleeve, hinting to Shi Qingxue to stop as soon as she was happy and not to make the relationship more tense.
But Shi Qingxue didn't go to see Xia Mang at all. She smiled coldly and said: "Divine Doctor Shen lives in Mu Xueyuan, why do we need to invite outsiders?"
In other words, she does not accept the apology plan that Qi Ruyue just proposed.
The smile on Qi Ruyue's face really couldn't be held back.
"Then, Princess Concubine, what do you want?" Qi Ruyue stared at Shi Qingxue and her voice became gloomy.
Shi Qingxue seemed not to notice how ugly Qi Ruyue's face was at all, or in other words, she didn't care at all.
She just said calmly: "Concubine Qi hit someone for no reason. Even if she made a mistake, she should naturally apologize."
Speaking of this, Qingxue paused for a moment, fearing that she would be furious, Qi Ruyue added slowly: "Xia Mang lacks nothing, so there is no need to apologize. Since you beat her in front of everyone, then... Then apologize to her in front of everyone!
Concubine Qi is reasonable, this shouldn’t be difficult for you! "
