Daohua glanced at the Grand Princess, her expression calm. "What does the Grand Princess wish to know about the peasant’s family?"

The Grand Princess smiled. "I’ve heard that there’s a saying among the peasants, that the cheaper the name given to a child, the easier it is to raise them. I heard that the Countess of Shengping’s milk name is Daohua. Is it also because of this?"

Daohua replied, "It was just casually given."

The Grand Princess smiled again. "I thought the Yan Family elders found ’Daohua’ cheap and easy to raise, hence they gave you such a milk name." She then laughed and looked at the Empress Dowager, "Speaking of ’Daohua’, it really is quite cheap. Even a cat or a dog could trample ’Daohua’ into the mud."

Daohua remained silent for a moment, suppressed her anger, and looked straight at the Grand Princess. "May I ask, Grand Princess, since you consider ’Daohua’ so lowly, do you ever consume rice?"

The Grand Princess’s expression changed slightly, but she said nothing.

Daohua continued. "First comes Daohua, then the rice grain, and only then our rice on the dining table."

The Grand Princess tugged at the corner of her mouth. "The Yan Family truly has its roots in agriculture, knowing well about Daohua and rice grains."

Daohua looked at her, "Born into the Imperial Family, the Grand Princess has enjoyed luxury from birth, naturally unfamiliar with the commoner’s life. The blossoming of Daohua signifies a good harvest, meaning the ability to feed and clothe warmly, meaning survival."

"So, Grand Princess, please refrain from calling ’Daohua’ cheap. What you dismiss feeds you and millions of commoners. It is these millions of commoners’ support that provides for your luxurious life."

The Grand Princess was left speechless, her face showing some embarrassment.

Madam Jiang saw this and immediately laughed. "Empress Dowager, I wasn’t wrong, was I? The Countess of Shengping is indeed sharp-tongued."

The Empress Dowager looked at Daohua, hummed faintly in approval. With so many noblewomen present, she did not wish to escalate the situation and motioned for Daohua to stand down.

Old Madam Yan and Madam Li looked at Daohua worriedly. Daohua smiled, indicating she was fine.

Afterward, the Empress Dowager spoke with the noblewomen for a while before leading everyone out of Cining Palace toward the banquet hall.

Due to the Empress Dowager’s displeasure, Old Madam Yan, Madam Li, and Daohua found themselves isolated, trailing at the end.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, everyone took their seats in order.

During this time, Old Madam Yan, Madam Li, and Daohua kept as low a profile as possible, but still, someone wouldn’t let them be.

"Countess of Shengping, since the Emperor has granted you and the Little Prince a marriage, shouldn’t you come and pay respects to your mother-in-law?" Imperial Consort Ma suddenly spoke, drawing everyone’s attention back to Daohua.

Daohua responded with a blank expression, "Madam, having been long in the palace, you might not be aware of the affairs in Prince Xiao’s residence. My mother-in-law did not enter the palace today."

Her reply was unapologetically blunt, implying she did not recognize Imperial Consort Ma as her mother-in-law.

Imperial Consort Ma, looking angrily at Daohua, asked, "Does the Countess of Shengping think this princess consort unworthy to be your mother-in-law?"

The Empress Dowager was taken aback, and so was everyone else. _{freёwebnovel.com}
