Expressing Anger In a verbal confrontation, whoever gets angry loses.

Meng Guifei took a deep breath and said, “I suddenly felt unwell, so I have to leave first.”

Then, she walked away.

Lu Mingyu saw Meng Guifei leave angrily and smiled at Empress Qiao with a calm expression: “It’s not hot yet, but Guifei niángniáng’s temper is getting more and more irritable. Even after just a few gossips, she got so angry.”

Empress Qiao: “… “

This daughter-in-law was really amazing!

Facing the Dowager Empress Zhao, she seemed to be respectful, but in fact, she used force to intimidate her. Facing the coward Su Zhaorong, her words were sharp and unkind. Facing the favored Meng Guifei, she kept talking and laughing, hiding her sword in her words, one sentence after another.

Fortunately, such a powerful Lu Mingyu became her daughter-in-law.

To her, this was not just adding strength to a tiger, it was clearly adding another tiger!

Empress Qiao put away her delicate mood and told Lu Mingyu a few words meaningfully: “The Emperor intends to promote the Yanxi Palace. Meng Guifei’s temper can’t help but get a little louder. You are a junior, speak more politely to Meng Guifei in the future. Don’t let her go and complain it to the Emperor. Otherwise, the Emperor will blame you again.”

Mainly because she was afraid of the Emperor venting his anger on Li Jing!

Lu Mingyu understood in her heart and responded with a smile.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not very close to each other, nor did they like each other very much. It was pretty good to be able to appear to be on the same camp and be harmonious at the moment.

…

Meng Guifei was accustomed to being domineering in the harem and had never experienced such frustration before. With a dark expression on her face, she returned to the Yanxi Palace. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, smashing all the vases and teacups in the room into pieces.

The people in the palace were silent and trembling. Let alone trying to comfort her, no one dared to come forward.

But at this moment, the Yang Gongren people started making a fuss again.

Speaking of which, Yang Gongren had really good luck. She was a maid in the Yanxi Palace, and her appearance was average. Because of her good figure and good looks, she was chosen by Meng Guifei and sent to the Eldest Prince.

Eldest Huangzifei had a miscarriage, and Yang Gongren became pregnant in time, and it was still a boy. Meng Guifei was overjoyed and took Yang Gongren back to the palace to raise the baby. The Eldest Prince was also very concerned about this pregnancy and came to visit Yang Gongren from time to time.

Everyone in Yanxi Palace knew that Yang Gongren would soon become more valuable because of her children. As soon as the grandson of the Emperor was born, she would be promoted to a side concubine.

The honest and peaceful Yang Gongren, who had spent several good months in the Yanxi Palace, was being held up and carried by everyone. So she gradually became a bit arrogant.

Once someone becomes arrogant, their manner of speaking, acting, and conducting themselves changes. Today they may desire sour dried fruits, tomorrow they may demand a softer blanket. In short, their requests become increasingly numerous.

Today, Yang Gongren thought that the person who diagnosed her pulse and prescribed anti-fetal medicine was an ordinary imperial doctor.

What she was carrying in her belly was the Emperor’s eldest grandson.

No matter what, they should let Dr. Zhou or Dr. Du, who were highly skilled in medicine, come to see her!

Meng Guifei was furious. When she heard the trembling report from the palace attendant, her charming and bright face suddenly twisted and she sneered twice: “I will go and see for myself now!”

Then she left with a cold face and walked towards Yang Gongren’s bedroom.

Yang Gongren was over five months pregnant and was well-fed in the palace, causing her to become plump and fair-skinned. It was already improper for her to be nurturing her pregnancy in the Yanxi Palace. She never stepped out of the Yanxi Palace on ordinary days and was unaware of the latest news and developments in the palace.

Hearing that Meng Guifei was here, Yang Gongren was so happy that she thought that Meng Guifei was here to comfort her! She deliberately pretended to be aggrieved, but before she could squeeze out tears, she was scolded by Meng Guifei.

“You ungrateful wench who doesn’t know her place!”

“You’re pregnant and yet you don’t take care of yourself properly, instead causing trouble day in and day out. And you dare to criticize the imperial physician! If you can’t stand staying in the Yanxi Palace, then leave immediately and go to the Crown Prince’s residence! Don’t ever show your face in front of me again!”

Yang Gongren was immediately stupefied by the scolding. She knelt down and defended herself with tears: “Niángniáng, please calm down! This servant also values the child in her womb and was momentarily careless, I truly meant no harm.”

These manipulative tactics were all tricks that Meng Guifei had mastered over the years.

Meng Guifei let out another cold laugh. “Whether you meant to harm or not, you know it well in your heart. Don’t think you’re the only one with a brain, while others are fools. Let me tell you, if you take good care of your pregnancy and safely deliver the imperial grandson, I won’t mistreat you. But if you dare to cause trouble and harm the fetus, I’ll skin you alive!”

Yang Gongren was scolded until her face turned pale and she couldn’t speak. So she kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy.

With a cold face, Meng Guifei ordered the palace servants to help Yang Gongren who was kneeling on the ground, and ordered: “From today on, without my instructions, Yang Gongren cannot leave her room even half a step.”

The unlucky Yang Gongren, weeping and crying, was helped back to her room.

Meng Guifei was still upset.

After the court was over, Meng Guifei sent someone to send a message to the Eldest Prince. After the Eldest Prince arrived, Meng Guifei cursed again.

Of course, Meng Guifei was not scolding Yang Gongren this time, but Lu Mingyu and Empress Qiao.

The Eldest Prince was confused at first, but after hearing it, he understood what was going on. In desperation, he opened his mouth to persuade: “That shrew Lu Shi dares to disgrace even Royal Grandmother. Mother Concubine just stay away from her, why bother to compete with her.”

Unable to compete, yet still angry.

Even when angry, shifting blame.

What was the point!

Meng Guifei raised her eyebrows and spat out a disdainful “Hmph!” “You speak so lightly. I am a dignified Guifei, why should I yield to a Huangzifei!”

“Furthermore, if I yield today and tomorrow, in the eyes of everyone, it will appear that I am afraid of Lu Mingyu. How can I swallow this pride?”

The Eldest Prince was also a little helpless: “If Mother is unwilling to give in, then don’t give in and just compete with Lu Shi.”

Meng Guifei grew even angrier, slamming the table forcefully. “Do I need you to tell me that? Can’t you see? It’s just me alone against Lu Shi and the Empress, mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law singing in harmony. How can I possibly contend with two sets of cunning tongues!”

With that, she began to berate her daughter-in-law, Liang Shi: “Look at how the Lu family’s daughter-in-law behaves. As soon as she entered the door, she stands up for her mother-in-law and causing trouble for others, always by the Empress’s side. But Liang Shi, on the other hand, is always sickly and nowhere to be seen. I’d rather have no daughter-in-law than one like her!”

The Eldest Prince had a headache from the nagging. Incessantly: “After Liang’s miscarriage, her health has not recovered. Besides, she is gentle and quiet. Even if she is aligned with the Concubine Mother, she is no match for Lu Mingyu when it comes to verbal sparring. Don’t let Lu Mingyu get on your nerves.”

Meng Guifei scoffed at her son, “Your wife is your precious darling! You can’t touch her, can’t criticize her, can’t anger her! Your own mother is tough as nails, she won’t be affected by anything, so just leave her alone.”

The Eldest Prince: “…”

Yes, my mother was expressing her anger. It was on him!

The Eldest Prince endured a scolding for no reason, feeling uneasy. Hearing about Yang Gongren wanting to change physicians added to his annoyance. Without even glancing at her, he quickly returned to his residence.
