Chapter 156 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (21)
After the wet nurse served the princess lunch, she wanted to ask her to go back, as there was no point in waiting. However, she had just overstepped her authority, so it was not easy for her to say it now.
After Emperor Zhaohui finished his lunch with Li Handan, he let her take a nap in the side room, and he returned to the main hall to continue handling official business.
Wang Fuhai looked at Emperor Zhaohui and made an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say. This kind of behavior is not like you at all." Emperor Zhaohui said after approving a memorial in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the third princess has been here since morning and has been waiting in the side hall to see your Majesty." Wang Fuhai said with some embarrassment.
"Dan Ruo is here?" Emperor Zhao Hui was puzzled. "What has she set her eyes on this time?"
Emperor Zhaohui had already determined the nature of the Third Princess Li Danruo with this statement. Wang Fuhai naturally could not say that the Third Princess came to give her father a purse.
"Let her in!" Emperor Zhaohui said with a frown.
At this moment, the swing in the main hall had already been put away, and the silk petals that were scattered on the ground had long disappeared.
The third princess, holding a purse in her hand, was brought into the main hall by Wang Fuhai, and she first bowed and paid her respects to her father.
"Father, your daughter made a purse for you and wants to give it to you." The third princess said to Emperor Zhaohui with a smile.
"Danruo, you are so thoughtful." Emperor Zhaohui looked at Wang Fuhai and signaled him to keep it. Then he said, "Fuhai, find the pomegranate flower hairpin that was presented as tribute last time and bring it back to Danruo."
"The emperor really loves the third princess. This hairpin is made of exquisite materials and is finely crafted. It is a top-notch hair accessory." Wang Fuhai praised, "I will go find it right away and bring it back to the third princess."
When the third princess Li Danruo received the reward, she forgot what had just happened for a moment. She bowed to her father and expressed her gratitude as per custom.
Emperor Zhaohui rarely walked down from his desk and helped his daughter up.
Although Emperor Zhaohui doted on the fifth princess Li Handan, he also gave a certain amount of care to his other children.
It’s just that fingers are of different lengths, and people’s hearts are always biased.
This action of her father made Li Danruo feel that she was also favored by her father. She stood up with a smile, and when she looked up, she saw the ugliest purse on Emperor Zhaohui's waist.
It was self-evident who made the purse, but this time she did not show her unhappiness on her face. She just clenched her fists and tried to endure it.
Only after Wang Fuhai handed the box containing the palace hairpin to her wet nurse did she get up and return to the Queen's Palace.
Not long after, the news that the third princess Li Danruo had received a reward from Emperor Zhaohui in exchange for a purse quickly spread throughout the palace.
"Fu Hai, I have a crystal lotus lamp in my private storehouse. You can send it to Huan Niang in a few days." Emperor Zhao Hui waited until the third princess left before saying, "You can send it quietly in private."
Wang Fuhai had been with Emperor Zhaohui for so many years and had long understood his intention. This was a palace hairpin that was given as a reward in public. Although it was precious enough, it was still an ordinary item after all.
The crystal lotus lamp was given secretly and is truly a priceless treasure.
It seems that the Fifth Princess's position in the Emperor's heart cannot be replaced by anyone.
When the third princess Li Danruo returned to the queen's palace with the pomegranate flower hairpin, the queen had already ordered people to wait at the palace gate, and she was welcomed in as soon as she came back.
"Liuniang, it seems that your father likes the purses you made very much!" The queen patted her daughter's hands and smiled with satisfaction.
The third princess, Li Danruo, had a smile on her face that was stiff, but she finally relaxed. She asked the queen to dismiss the palace servants, then she threw herself into her mother's arms and began to cry loudly.
"My dear daughter, what's wrong? You just received a reward from your father, so you should be happy." The queen was very confused.
When dismissing the palace maids, Li Danruo specially left behind her wet nurse. When the queen saw her daughter crying, she looked at her and asked her to speak clearly.
"This, I don't even know where to begin!" It's not that the wet nurse is deliberately concealing the truth, but just now in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the princess had obviously been coaxed by the emperor's reward, so why is she crying again now!
The wet nurse was quite far away from Emperor Zhaohui, so she didn't notice the ugly pouch around his waist. Of course, even if she was closer, she didn't have the courage to stare at the emperor!
Therefore, she could not understand the grievances of the third princess Li Danruo.
