Well, Yang Chuxia did indeed forget that her son’s status was quite special.
"Old Madam Tong, Heir’s wife, no need for formalities," Lele replied calmly, then stood up and said to Yang Chuxia, "Mother, I am going to see Father first."
"You may go."
"I will take my leave first."
Watching Lele leave with two young eunuchs, his composed deanor and exquisite appearance truly made the Tong family’s daughter-in-law envious. Being granted the title of prince at such a young age, he will only achieve greater heights in the future. The Ye Family seed nothing like those from a small place. Their Tong Residence, purportedly a century-old Duke’s residence, held no children like him.
"Prince Le has such an extraordinary deanor at such a young age, truly enviable."
"Your little grandson is also excellent."
Truth be told, Yang Chuxia was sowhat unaccustod to speaking with Madam Tong, whose tone was peaceful yet had a touch of flattery.
So she changed the topic, "Did sothing happen over there?"
"Miss Luo from the Luo Family fainted," the State Duchess Tong remarked indifferently. "The court physician was called, who said it was heatstroke, but First Madam Luo implied that soone hard Miss Luo."
"Hard her?" Yang Chuxia was speechless. This First Madam Luo truly had no sense, forgetting where this place was.
Moreover, is there any evidence?
"Indeed!" The heir’s wife shook her head and said, "First Madam Luo claid that Miss Luo didn’t eat those buns or porridge, only had so of the lotus seed soup served later, implying there was sothing wrong with it. She also ntioned that the sun was strong at noon yesterday and Miss Luo didn’t faint, so how could she faint from heatstroke on this cool morning?"
"She has a point," Dongyang frowned but continued, "though we all had the lotus seed soup."
Yang Chuxia said nothing; perhaps Luo Linfei’s bowl was special.
The won in this palace, each of them fears the arrival of new people. Luo Linfei made herself so conspicuous at this ti; who wouldn’t guess what she was up to?
Moreover, people in the palace each have a heart as sharp as a needle. It’s hard to tell who borrowed the Empress’s hand to punish Luo Linfei.
It could also be the Empress herself.
"How is it now?"
"What else could it be?" the heir’s wife shook her head again, "The court physician found nothing wrong with the lotus seed soup, and First Madam Luo couldn’t say anything more. They only had to send Luo Linfei back to rest. However, the Emperor learned of this matter and issued an order that Miss Luo need not enter the palace for the upcoming days and should stay ho to recuperate."
"..."
Yang Chuxia wondered if this was considered unfortunate for Luo Linfei.
She intended to attract attention but ended up drawing herself back ho instead.
She might be furious upon waking up.
The Tong family’s daughter-in-law and Yang Chuxia were not particularly talkative, and after discussing this matter, they left.
Dongyang asked, "Do you think it was really heatstroke?"
"Hard to say." Yang Chuxia shook her head, "But, she’s still a bit immature, thinking no one knows her intentions when everyone sees them clearly."
"Let’s not talk about her." Dongyang was well aware of the palace’s sordid affairs, just surprised they began after the Emperor had just ascended the throne. "Are we still staying in the palace tonight?" Given what happened, Dongyang was sowhat reluctant to stay.
"Why not stay?" Yang Chuxia replied, "People outside may not dare speak, but those inside surely won’t plot against us."
At this mont, in the Imperial Study, Baili Yan, Mu Shaoling, and Ye Zi’an were all present.
