"Right... "I'm sorry."
The voice of the person who spoke was very soft and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was frightened by Pang Yue Qiu's angry roar just now.
She lowered her eyes and apologized repeatedly, but it was as if Pang Yue Qiu was looking for a vent to vent his anger, she glared angrily at the frail girl in front of him.
"Just saying sorry is fine? If I don't give you some memory, you might make the same mistake next time. "
She completely vented her anger at Liu Ruo Qing onto the girl in front of her, raised her hand, and flung it towards her face.
However, this time, her wish was not fulfilled. Before his descending palm could even touch the woman's face, it was caught by another hand that barged in.
The force on her wrist was rather heavy, causing her to furrow her brows in pain. Her anger also surged upwards.
Pang Yue Qiu's face was filled with shock. From the start, she had thought that this uneducated bitch was just an ordinary low level commoner. Even if she was close to the King Lu Lord, she had never thought that this slut was from a clan of Level 3 and above officials.
After all, not just any young miss of an official's family could be allowed to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet and also attend the longevity palace.
That is to say, this bitch is really the daughter of a third rank official?
Although Pang Yue Qiu was shocked by her recognition, he didn't think much of her.
From top to bottom, other than the King Lu, only the officials of the Prime Minister Wang could compete with her father. However, the Prime Minister Wang only had one young master and no daughter.
No matter how capable this lowly girl was, could she even surpass her?
"I was wondering which disrespectful wild lass was acting so arrogantly in front of the longevity palace. So it was the Miss Pang, no wonder."
Liu Ruo Qing's voice was lazy, and her gaze on the Pang family's three members was full of disdain and ridicule.
"How dare you, which family's girl dares to mock Grand Preceptor Pang!"
Madam Pang could not bear to listen any longer. Compared to Grand Preceptor Pang, who was silent and gloomy, Madam Pang was filled with energy and wanted to support her daughter.
Liu Ruo Qing's tone was a little heavy. She already detested Pang Yue Qiu's arrogance and domineering attitude on the streets, but she didn't expect him to still be so arrogant in the palace. He had already reached the empress dowager's doorstep and he still wanted to hit her.
"You … "You …"
Madam Pang was so angry that her entire body was trembling, pointing at Liu Ruo Qing's lazy smile, she was extremely angry.
"Miss Pang and Madam Pang really are mother and daughter. No one can doubt that."
Liu Ruo Qing smiled, the sarcasm in her eyes was too obvious, and with these words, it was clear that she was even scolding Madam Pang for being an uncultured woman.
Grand Preceptor Pang stood at the side without uttering a word, quietly sizing up the young lady in front of him who was the same age as his daughter.
He was, after all, a man who had been in the government for many years. His heart was naturally much deeper than his wife's and daughter's, and he was also much calmer.
To dare mock his entire family in front of the grand Grand Preceptor, he had to rely on his background or his lack of brains.
It was fine if he didn't have any brains, but if he was backstage …
The Grand Preceptor Pang was still a little fearful. After all, he was not the one in charge of this court. Although his position was high, there was still the Lord of the King Lu, the Prince Jing, as well as His Majesty and Empress Dowager.
Before he clearly knew the girl's identity, he couldn't act blindly without thinking.
In any case, there would be many opportunities to teach her a lesson in the future.
Pang Yue Qiu was so angry that she wanted to go up and tear Liu Ruo Qing's mouth apart several times. However, when she thought about the matter of her being beaten up on the street, she still had a little fear in her heart.
She did not want to be beaten up again in the Imperial Palace.
She cast her gaze at Grand Preceptor Pang, and seeing her father standing there without saying a word, she became even more furious.
"Daddy, this slut humiliated her daughter in public. Quickly, give her justice!"
When Grand Preceptor Pang heard that the girl in front of him was the girl who had beaten her up in the street and was extremely close to his grandfather, his eyelids slightly twitched.
In other words, the reason this girl dared to be so arrogant, was because she had the King Lu as her backer, so she dared to be so presumptuous and brazen?
When Grand Preceptor Pang thought about this, he still had some concerns. If he really had a good relationship with the King Lu, it would be really inconvenient for him to get along with this girl.
Seeing that Grand Preceptor Pang was still looking at Liu Ruo Qing in silence, Pang Yue Qiu became even more anxious, "Father, say something."
Liu Ruo Qing was not in the mood to see Pang Yue Qiu act coquettishly towards the Grand Preceptor Pang, so she retracted her gaze and pulled the lady who had been silent the entire time, "Let's go in, the empress dowager is waiting for us."
The young lady did not dare to speak anymore, she only nodded gratefully towards Liu Ruo Qing before following him inside.
Inside the hall, there were already many girls gathered there, talking and laughing about something. Seeing them enter, they only gave them a disdainful glance before starting to chat about themselves again.
Perhaps it was because they were new faces, but in their eyes, as "seniors", they always had a feeling of superiority when facing "newbies".
Liu Ruo Qing could not be bothered with them, she brought the lady who entered the hall with him and sat down on a chair in front of the hall.
Her actions naturally attracted the attention of all the girls present.
"Your first time at the palace really didn't know the rules. Esteemed Empress Dowager hasn't even come yet and you're already sitting down. There really isn't any form of etiquette at all."
Hearing them say that, the lady beside Liu Ruo Qing immediately stood up out of fright. It was indeed her first time in the palace, so she did not understand the rules.
Seeing how Liu Ruo Qing was too lazy to bother with them and was still sitting on the chair, the woman became anxious.
He quickly tugged at the corner of her clothes and said in a low voice, "Little sister, hurry up and get up. It won't be good if the empress dowager sees that we're being blamed."
Liu Ruo Qing gave her a comforting look and said, "Don't worry, the empress dowager knows that this is how I am. Just sit and wait, it's so tiring to stand like this.
Even though Liu Ruo Qing had said it like that, the woman dared not sit down again. Even though she knew Liu Ruo Qing's identity, no matter how high her position was, she could not be as impudent as she was at the empress dowager's side.
