Ye Zhen still didn't know that Old An Wangfei had gone to Chengde Villa. She had just taken over the affairs of the palace. Although the leaders of the various departments did not dare to openly express their opposition, they still secretly made things difficult for the deputy leaders chosen by Ye Zhen.
Romance first
"Your Highness, do you want to give them a beating?" Aunt Pan asked Ye Zhen in a low voice.
"No, if these deputy leaders can't even stand this little difficulty, then they don't need to stand in this position." Ye Zhen said lightly. She would not punish the leaders for such a small matter. After all, they were all selected by the Empress Dowager. With her current relationship with the Empress Dowager, some things still needed to be considered.
Aunt Pan agreed in a low voice. She thought to herself that although this Empress looked delicate, she wasn't really a weak and ignorant person. Moreover, she was very clear about this.
No wonder the Emperor loved her so much. She had been in the palace for so many years, but she had never seen the Emperor love a concubine so much.
"Your Highness, the Fifth Wangfei asks to see you." Hong Ling came in from outside and said to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. Why did the Fifth Wangfei come to see her at this time? "Invite the Fifth Wangfei in."
When she entered the palace to pay her respects that day, Ye Zhen did not pay much attention to the Fifth Wangfei, but after a few glances, she seemed to be a very straightforward person. It was said that the relationship between her and the Fifth Wangye was not good. There was a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. The reason was that the Fifth Wangfei looked down on the Fifth Wangye's sloppy behavior. The Fifth Wangye didn't like the Fifth Wangye's temperament and despised her for not being gentle and beautiful enough.
Ye Zhen knew Lu Jing's personality very well. However, the Fifth Wangfei was not a soft persimmon and would not be easily bullied by Lu Jing.
While Ye Zhen was still confused, she saw the Fifth Wangfei coming in from outside.
The Fifth Wangfei was not ugly, but she looked more valiant and did not have that delicate and charming temperament. She straightened her back and saluted Ye Zhen. "Empress, I can't live with the Fifth Wangye anymore. Please give me your permission to divorce him!" Ye Zhen's face turned red as she said, "The Fifth Wangye can't live with me anymore.
"…" Ye Zhen was stunned. She didn't expect the Fifth Wangfei to enter the palace to talk about this matter. "Fifth Wangfei, get up first. What's going on? Why do you want to leave the Fifth Wangye?"
The Fifth Wangfei stood up with a resolute look on her face. "For a person like him who spoils his concubine and ignores his wife, I'm afraid that he will cause trouble if I continue to live with him. I still beg Your Highness to allow us to leave."
Ye Zhen motioned to Hong Ling to fetch a stool for the Fifth Wangfei to sit down. "If you want to leave, there must be a reason. I can't casually grant your request."
"Since I married him, he has always been dissatisfied with me. There are many concubines in the family, and I don't want to quarrel with him, so I have always endured it. But now, he dotes on a concubine. Because she is pregnant, he even wants her to be on an equal footing with me. That concubine usually steals the limelight outside, but now she dares to challenge me at home. This concubine just beat her, a servant, but the Fifth Wangye quarreled with me and even beat me, this concubine …" The Fifth Wangye looked up at Ye Zhen and hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"You also beat the Fifth Wangye?" Ye Zhen easily guessed what she didn't say.
The Fifth Wangfei whispered, "I have learned some self-defense skills since I was a child. He bullied me like this, and I was angry."
"Why did you kill the concubine's servant girl?" Ye Zhen asked, not asking which concubine it was.
"A few days ago, the servant girl killed the cat I had raised for several years, saying that the cat scared her master. Yesterday, she took people to search my room and found a scarecrow with her master's birth date and eight characters. Your Highness, I have always been an upright person. It is impossible for me to do such a dirty thing. It is clear that Lu Jing wants to frame me! But the Fifth Wangye believed her and refused to listen to my explanation at all. He threatened to divorce me. " After the Fifth Wangfei finished speaking, she looked at Ye Zhen nervously. Now it was Lu Jing who had a grudge with her. She was also the Empress's cousin. It seemed a little silly for her to ask the Empress to help her.
Ye Zhen thought in her heart that the Fifth Wangye should still be beaten. "Because of this, you want to divorce the Fifth Wangye?"
"Yes." The Fifth Wangfei nodded resolutely. "If I continue to live with him like this, I am afraid that I will kill him in the future. Such a scum, I don't want to die for him in the future."
"I'm afraid I can't make a decision for you in this matter." She did not have such great power to allow a Wangye to divorce a Wangye.
The Fifth Wangfei bit her lip. "Your Highness, is it … because of Lu Jing?"
Ye Zhen asked amusedly, "Do you think that I don't want you to divorce because of Lu Jing?"
"She is your sister. If she had this identity, how would she dare to go against me like this?" The Fifth Wangfei whispered.
"Do you think ben gong will allow the other concubines to act like a tyrant over my head?" Ye Rou asked calmly.
The Fifth Wangfei glanced at Ye Zhen. "No."
"Then why do you think that I will support a concubine who acts like a tyrant?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the Fifth Wangfei with a smile.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" The Fifth Wangfei looked at Ye Zhen doubtfully. Listening to the Empress's words, it seemed that she would not support Lu Jing. Instead, she encouraged him to go back and deal with Lu Jing.
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "You understand what I mean. You are a legitimate Wangfei, not a concubine brought in through the side door."
The Fifth Wangfei stood up and bowed to Ye Zhen. "Thank you, Your Highness, I understand."
She understood that even if she wanted to divorce the Fifth Wangye, it was not in this way. She had to go back and deal with Lu Jing first.
Watching the Fifth Wangfei leave, Ye Zhen shook her head and smiled faintly.
Hong Ling held her hand and walked out of the courtyard. "I didn't expect the Fourth Miss to be so comfortable in the Wangfu."
"She doesn't know what's good for her. She won't be able to walk long in the future. Does she think that she can sit upright after forcing the Fifth Wangfei away?" Ye Zhen did not like Lu Jing very much. As early as a long time ago, she saw what kind of person Lu Jing was. People's nature would not change, it would only become worse.
"If the Fourth Miss is taught a lesson by the Fifth Wangfei, she may enter the palace to beg you." Hong Ying said.
"Who will enter the palace?" Mo Rongzhan's voice suddenly rang out.
Hong Ling and Hong Ying jumped in fright. "These servants greet Your Majesty."
Mo Rongzhan motioned for them to rise and reached out to hold Ye Zhen's hand. "Who entered the palace?"
"Fifth Princess." Ye Zhen said with a smile and walked with him to the pavilion in the courtyard to sit down. "You beat the Fifth Prince and said you want to separate."
"What did Fifth Brother do this time?" Mo Rongzhan frowned, his tone somewhat displeased.
Ye Zhen told the story of the Fifth Wangye favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife. "… Let the Fifth Wangye go back and teach her a lesson. She will not dare to be presumptuous again."
Mo Rongzhan looked down at her with a smile. "The Empress is indeed mighty and domineering."
