Chapter 182 The Gate Collapses
In Yiqiu Courtyard,
Fang Qingge, who was in the inner room of the main house, heard some noise.
I opened the door and was suddenly stunned.
Except for Xiaodouzi, all the palace servants who served Yi Qiu in the courtyard were standing on both sides of the door.
There are two personal palace maids, Kapok and Haitang, and four younger palace maids, Xiaohua, Xiaocao, Xiaoshu and Xiaomu, who are all around twelve or thirteen years old.
In addition to the two servants Liu and Wang, there were eight people, all holding sticks and ready for battle.
"What's going on here?"
The eight people, with tense and serious expressions on their faces but all out to protect their master, opened the door as soon as they saw Fang Qingge.
*
The senior maid Mumian knew that she could no longer conceal the matter, so she had to kneel down respectfully and report the truth.
"Master, the Crown Princess is here. After being blocked outside the door by Eunuch Dou, she got furious and is trying to force the door open! What should we do?"
As soon as she finished speaking,
Then there were the sounds of "bang bang bang" and "bang bang bang" of people banging on the door, and then the sound of prying the door open. Fang Qingge could hear clearly the arrogant and domineering noise outside the courtyard gate.
She raised her eyebrows and asked,
"Is Xiaodouzi in trouble? And are you all okay?"
"Master, rest assured. After Eunuch Dou asked us to lock the gate, he ran to the front yard to get help. We are fine as long as we don't go out."
Mrs. Wang, who was in charge of guarding the gate and had a stout build, hurried to reply.
"Oh, I hope you're all right."
When he saw their nervous expressions, he smiled nonchalantly.
"Since the prince has not lifted the ban on visits, what are you afraid of? If she wants to pry the door open, let her do it! We can get a new one when the time comes."
Listening to the master's nonchalant joke, which showed no concern or fear, the head maid Haitang said worriedly,
"Master, what will you do if the Crown Princess rushes in and hurts you again?"
"Cold salad."
"what?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Then they were all moved, thinking that the master must be afraid that they would worry, so he pretended to be strong to comfort them!
Then, Mrs. Liu, holding the stick, patted her chest and said,
"Master, don't be afraid. We two old guys will protect you even if it costs us our lives."
"Yes, and there are four of us little ones."
The four little palace maids, Flower, Grass, Tree and Wood, all gritted their teeth and promised.
"You guys! You only know how to use brute force. What if the Crown Princess uses her status to pressure the master? The palace has a lot of rules. Didn't you see that the master injured his knee on the first day he came here?"
The senior palace maid Mu Mian, however, spoke out in disapproval.
"Then? What should we do?"
The two old women and four palace maids were at a loss as to what to do. Their faces fell and they looked worried.
They knew very well that rules were the most important thing in the palace, and those of lower status had to obey those of higher status.
Haven’t you ever heard that a higher-ranking official can crush people to death?
*
Just when everyone was worried and praying that Xiaodouzi would bring help quickly.
Then one could hear the deafening "bang bang bang" sound of the door being smashed, followed by a series of unpleasant and harsh creaking sounds.
The door began to shake, and in the blink of an eye, there was a loud bang and the door fell to the ground.
Then a cloud of dust rose up.
Suddenly, "cough cough cough" sounds were heard from every corner.
Looking at the messy front door, Fang Qingge stretched out his hand, and the smart Mu Man quickly handed the crutches to his master.
Bing and Haitang supported her on both sides and stood at the door of the main house.
*
The dust at the gate flew away, and the Crown Princess walked in, surrounded by several servants.
When she saw Fang Qingge still leaning on crutches, she was obviously stunned and blurted out,
"You're not well yet?"
After saying that, he ran over with some regret in his heart.
In order to cover up her impulsive behavior, she took the initiative to say,
"Fang Liang Di, you are so arrogant! I came to see you and you are acting so arrogantly? What does it mean to close the door and not let you in?
snort!
Did you forget the palace rules, the differences between the upper and lower classes, and who is the most powerful person in the inner court?
You are so bold as to order your servants to refuse admission to me. I would like to ask you, who gave you the courage?
Could it be that because you have the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you no longer take me, the Crown Princess, seriously?"
Fang Qingge couldn't help but look at her more because of her unreasonable and specious arguments.
At the same time, I felt a little sympathy for the prince.
Although anyone with a discerning eye knows clearly how these women were stuffed into the Eastern Palace.
But the prince no longer acknowledged that these were his women, the facts were the facts.
*
Fang Qingge looked at Zhao Yaxue coldly as she started talking nonsense as soon as they met.
Her eyes quickly glanced at the two people behind her.
At some point, Zhang Yuying, the concubine, and Qian Min'er, the maid, disappeared. Only Li Liangdi and Lu Liangyuan followed the Crown Princess.
Fang Qingge secretly sighed again, knowing in his heart that this brainless Zhao Yaxue was being used as a gun again.
She lowered her eyebrows and said respectfully,
"Greetings, Princess. I'm sorry Qingge is unable to perform the ceremony due to physical impairment."
"You? You're so bold."
Zhao Yaxue was furious. She looked at the exquisite decoration in Yi Qiu Courtyard, the freshly painted carved beams and painted pillars, the swing in the corner, and the pile of toys prepared for the children.
She could no longer suppress the jealousy in her heart.
At this time, Li Liangdi behind him spoke up.
"Hey? Fang Liangdi, are all the toys in your yard prepared for children?
Hehehe… Are you so impatient right after arriving? Why, you are still thinking about giving birth to our first illegitimate son of the Eastern Palace!
Humph! You are so bold and rebellious! You don't respect the Crown Princess at all."
As soon as Li Liangdi put the hat of sarcasm on others, the whole place fell silent.
*
Zhao Yaxue, who was furious again at this moment, saw this courtyard where the prince occasionally took a rest. She never expected that one day it would be occupied by this woman.
She tried hard to suppress the fact that Fang Liangdi was favored by her cousin, the Crown Prince, and wanted to tear her charming face apart with her own hands to vent her anger.
As he moved his feet, he suddenly remembered his identity, and immediately stopped on his heels and said in a bad tone,
"Just wait. I will first deal with these lawless, disobedient, and disobedient slaves.
You dare to close the door in front of me, ha! You are so brave! "
Zhao Yaxue glanced viciously at the eight palace maids in Yi Qiu Courtyard.
The four young flowers, grasses, trees, and woods showed some fear on their faces, but they still stood in front of Fang Qingge and protected their master motionlessly.
*
Zhao Yaxue smiled sinisterly and pointed at the dozen servants who followed her in the courtyard.
"The servants in Fang Liangdi's courtyard are unruly and need to be taught a lesson. All of you, go and slap me hard in the face so that they will remember this lesson."
"Yes! I obey your command."
