There wouldn't be anyone who dared to do that in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom aside from her.
If they dared to be so brazen, their neck wouldn't be left intact. But since the one who said it was Old Madam Long, no one would dare to say anything to her. First, she was of the older generation and much older than Empress Dowager i. Secondly, it was indeed Empress Dowager i who offended her first by arranging sothing that she didn't want and forced the honorable Long Family to accept an additional person at this point of ti.
On the day after Lantern Festival, Long Family welcod an additional mistress into their residence.
Nan Hua was so busy with her family matter that she forgot about this. Long Family Residence welcod a new mistress nad Shangguan Mi. As the husband, Long Qian Xing didn't even bother to take a look at the new mistress but departed to the frontline almost imdiately.
Words had spread.
That almost everyone knew about this matter and laughed about it in private. They all naturally not ignorant of the fact that Shangguan Mi pleaded to be married to Long Qian Xing to Empress Dowager i. She had been given the ticket through the edict that was given by Empress Dowager i.
But look at what she got?
She was not even allowed to use the main door and had to use the side door that was supposed to be only for servants.
Wasn't this implying that she would be treated the sa was as servants?
And her supposed husband, Long Qian Xing, didn't even bother to look at her and departed to the battlefield even before she ca to Long Family Residence?
Almost instantly, the na Shangguan Mi beca the big joke in the Capital City of Fei Yang Kingdom.
At the sa ti, Long Family was not afraid of offending Empress Dowager i. If Empress Dowager i tried to act against them, General Long would surely declare war against Fei Yang Kingdom. At that ti, there would be more than 100,000 soldiers turned their head against Fei Yang Kingdom.
Great General Shangguan and Great General Nan would most likely not stay quiet either. The fact that the three great generals were close friends who had been battling through life and death together was not a secret. If Empress Dowager i wanted to go against Long Family, both Shangguan Family and Nan Family might even declare war against her.
At that ti, close to 300,000 soldiers might be protesting to have her killed.
Was she already enjoyed the luxury of the palace so much that she didn't care about the three most powerful military family in Fei Yang Kingdom?
No need for them.
The officials would surely make a move to eliminate her first by saying that won were not suitable to beco a leader. She had to just stay in the harem and helped Empress Dowager Yan to manage it.
At that ti, her power would be lost.
"You're really brave, Old Madam Long." Empress Dowager i's expression was icy cold. She really didn't want to have a war of words with Old Madam Long, but she was planning on coming here because she wanted to have so fun.
One of the things in her agenda was to make sure that Nan Hua was humiliated.
But how could she do that when Old Madam Long was trying to counter against her every words?
"This one didn't dare, Your Highness." Old Madam Long smiled. "This one just felt that there are too many troubles in my residence that it's unsuitable for to rest anymore. Naturally, this banquet co at the right ti for ."
Resting at the banquet?
Old Madam Long was probably the only person in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom who could think of banquet as a place to relax. Everyone was tense, afraid of making the slightest bit of mistake that could be brought back to them. But Old Madam Long treated this place like her ho and still no one dared to go against her.
"In that case, I hope you'll enjoy the banquet, Old Madam Long. Now, if you please excuse , I still have so many things I would like to ask to Young Miss Nan."
"What do you plan to ask her?" Old Madam Long arched her eyebrows. She stayed still on her sitting place as if saying that whatever Empress Dowager i wanted to ask, it had to go through her first.
"I'm afraid that it's not your business, Old Madam Long."
"Hua'er is my future granddaughter in law, so naturally I had the right to know."
Empress Dowager i was on the verge of explosion from having to face the persistent Old Madam Long. "She's not your granddaughter in law yet."
"She will be one in the future." Old Madam Long blinked her eyes. "What should I do if she suddenly not wants my grandson anymore because she thought that you're much beautiful than him, Your Highness? I'm worried."
Nan Hua's lips twitched imperceptibly when she heard the nonsense Old Madam Long spouted. Now, she truly understood that whoever Old Madam Long categorized as her enemy would surely have a difficult ti.
The older soone was, the more difficult they would be. They would have so kind of strange request and their words were more often than not, very annoying.
Even the other ladies who heard what Old Madam Long said were trying their best to hold their laughter. They knew that Old Madam Long was only spouting nonsense because she didn't want Empress Dowager i to make things difficult for Nan Hua too after making things difficult for her son.
Long Qian Xing was still considered as junior, so offending Empress Dowager i openly would reflect bad on him.
Unless he wanted the tag unfilial, disrespecting his elders, and offending royalty to be attached to his head, he really couldn't go against Empress Dowager i's order. He could only show his displeasure through other ans such as his treatnt towards Shangguan Mi a month ago.
"First Young Miss Nan is really lucky," one of the ladies silently murmured.
