Translator: 549690339
Princess Ling’an was just turning the tables, riding on Jiang Yuan and swinging her claws.
As the flower ball flew towards her, she staggered and rolled her eyes, fainting on the spot.
Blood gushed out of her forehead.
Several noble ladies screamed in fear.
The fight was over.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan got up, full of dust, and were shocked to see the state of Princess Ling’an.
Though fights were common, it was rare to see someone be so ruthless.
She wasn’t afraid that she might kill someone with one blow.
The matter soon spread to the palace.
A few newly-selected noble ladies were fighting at the entrance of the Immortal-view Gate in Imperial City, witnessed by so many people.
There was no way to keep it a secret.
Soon, the ladies were kneeling before the Empress.
As for Ling’an, her forehead wounds had been treated by the Imperial Physician, and she had been revived after being pinched in the Renzhong acupoint.
Since she was the most seriously injured, the Empress allowed her to sit and speak.
The other person who was allowed to sit was Jiang Ning.
The rest of them all had disheveled hair and dusty clothes, especially Jiang Yuan, whose face was bruised and swollen.
Although the Empress was in her fifties and always compassionate, she was rendered speechless by their actions.
“Look at yourselves!”
“Fighting in broad daylight, in front of a crowd of servants!”
“Do you have any dignity left as ladies of noble families!”
The noble ladies lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Although it was embarrassing, in fact, the Great Sheng Dynasty had an open culture, and it was common for girls to go out and play. Fights and verbal disputes were frequent among the noble ladies who couldn’t get along with each other.
But this fight had taken place within the Imperial City, so as the master of the six palaces, the Empress had to be stern and harsh.
“What on earth is the reason for this?”
As soon as she heard the question, Princess Ling’an burst into tears and pointed at Jiang Yuan, “She attacked me first.”
Then she pointed at Jiang Ning, “She threw something at me, and it has ruined my face!”
Afterward, she continued to cry, “No one in Jiang Family is decent, they are all shrews! Cousin, please help me!”
It turned out that she was a close relative of the Empress’s maiden family.
No wonder she was so aggressive.
Jiang Yuan, who had also been beaten, was both in pain and angry, and said, “You’re a malicious accuser! It was you who started it with your vile words. People like you with sharp tongues deserve a beating!”
Ling’an pointed at Jiang Ning, “That lame girl even threw things at me!”
Everyone looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning showed a panicked expression, “Ah, me? Was it me? I didn’t mean it, really… I’m just a lame girl, and when I saw them bullying my sisters, I got scared, and didn’t hold the flower ball steady, so I dropped it… I’m just a country girl, and I didn’t see that Princess Ling’an would be just like a village shrew…”
Ling’an:”…”
What the hell?
Couldn’t hold it steady?
Several meters away from her, how could she not have hit her own foot if she hadn’t held it steady?
Her lying skills were absolutely amazing.
The Empress caught the main point: “You said, what did you drop?”
“The flower ball from Prince of Yu…” Jiang Ning, timidly, twisted her clothes with her fingers, “It seemed that Princess Ling’an and the others wanted it very much, so I thought if I give it to them, they would stop beating my sisters… At least they wouldn’t destroy the ball.”
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan looked at her with strange expressions.
Princess Ling’an and her friends were dumbfounded.
What did they call “calling a deer a horse”?
When did they want to grab her flower ball?
It was a betrothal gift from Prince of Yu, what good would it do to snatch it away?
The Empress, however, understood.
So, it turned out that Princess Ling’an couldn’t accept that Jiang Ning had received the flower ball and took advantage of her superiority in numbers to bully the girls from the Jiang Family..
