Chapter 145 The little transparent in the story of the princess and her husband ()
But such matters were not something she could decide, and even her mother could not refuse the emperor's arrangement.
The Queen could only give Nanny Yan a few treasures as a reward, as a sign of her agreement with the Emperor's order and hoping that she would show mercy.
Lady Anguogong was somewhat distressed when she saw the "hot potato" - jade pendants - in her two sons' hands.
The jade ring in the second son's hand had passed through Emperor Zhaohui's path and there was no way it could be returned.
You can try the eldest son's jade pendant. Although he is still young, if this matter gets out, it will not only damage the princess's reputation, but it will also be extremely disadvantageous for the eldest son's future marriage.
Besides, I have never heard of two brothers marrying princesses from ancient times to the present!
Lady Anguogong Xu Ruoxi gritted her teeth and risked offending the queen, saying, "It is my son who is so rude to accept this gift. Yuxuan's jade ring was given by the emperor and cannot be returned.
Although Yu He is already eight years old, he still doesn't understand the reason, so the third princess' jade pendant should be returned to the queen!"
As she said this, she winked at her eldest son Chu Yuhe, asking him to return the jade pendant.
Chu Yuhe didn't want to have anything to do with the third princess in his life. He had to exchange the jade pendant just now. Now that his mother asked him to return it, he quickly handed the jade pendant to the palace servant beside him.
Upon seeing this, Chu Yuxuan quickly put the jade ring into his brocade bag, and then held it tightly around his waist with his hands, fearing that his mother would ask him to hand over the jade ring as well.
Chu Yuhe returned the jade pendant and quickly added: "My jade pendant is still given to the third princess! It's not a valuable item, just think of it as a gift from me to Your Highness to play with!"
When the third princess Li Dan heard him say this, she felt so ashamed and angry about having her jade pendant returned to her that she took the jade pendant she had exchanged from Chu Yuhe and threw it on the ground, screaming, "Who wants your broken jade pendant? I'll give it back to you."
The queen was annoyed by her daughter's action. Just now, because of the action of Lady Anguo returning the jade pendant, she had earned a favor for nothing. However, when her daughter threw the jade pendant away, the situation was even again.
Lady Anguogong's brows slightly furrowed as she watched the Third Princess' actions, but they immediately relaxed. She pulled her eldest son Chu Yuxuan to kneel down and plead guilty to the Queen, then ordered someone to wrap up the broken jade pendant with a silk handkerchief.
"It was us mother and son who made the princess unhappy today." Lady Anguo stood up and bowed to the queen again. "It's getting late now, so I will take the children back first. I hope the queen will allow me."
The queen quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "You and I are sisters, there is no need to say such things, it is my daughter who is too spoiled."
"The third princess is a princess of the royal family. It is normal for her to be spoiled a little." Xu Ruoxi followed the queen's words and then took her two sons out of the queen's Kunning Palace.
Among the three maids that the emperor had arranged, Nanny Lin, who had not said much just now, suddenly spoke up: "Empress, it seems that the emperor's arrangement for the third princess to learn etiquette from Nanny Yan is a very good one."
As soon as these words came out, the other two maids also echoed: "Your Majesty is wise."
The third princess Li Danruo watched the wife of Duke Anguo leave with their two sons. Now the three maids heard what she said, and even her mother looked at her with a slightly unfriendly look. After all, the child was only six years old, and she was also panicked at the moment.
"Madame Yan, please take the third princess away and discipline her properly!" The queen gritted her teeth and said, she still had a son, and she couldn't disobey the emperor at this time.
"Yes." Nanny Yan walked to the Third Princess and almost dragged her to the side hall. The Third Princess's wet nurse was afraid that she would get hurt, so she hurriedly followed.
In an instant, the hall that was full of people just now was now empty. The queen wanted to reprimand the three maids, but before she could say anything, someone reported that Wang Fuhai, the eunuch beside the emperor, was coming again.
"My dear, I pay my respects to the Queen." Wang Fuhai bowed to the Queen as soon as he came in. "Queen, the Emperor said that the Fifth Princess is still young and she may not be used to the sudden change of residence.
Let me discuss this with Her Majesty. The Fifth Princess will still be raised under Her Majesty's name, but she will still live in the former Chenyou Palace and be looked after by palace servants. I hope Her Majesty will take care of her more in her free time.
As for the Fifth Princess's food, clothing and other expenses, just follow the original allocation. If there is any shortage, the Emperor will allocate funds from his own private treasury to subsidize them."
"This is not good! What if the palace servants pretend to obey and mistreat the Fifth Princess?" The Queen's face was full of heartache. "Such a little girl, I'm afraid she will be bullied."
Wang Fuhai smiled and continued, "The emperor said that the queen has a good way of managing her subordinates, and there will definitely not be such a tricky servant. In addition, the emperor will arrange secret guards to be with the fifth princess, and someone will report any situation in time. Please rest assured, queen."
"Since the emperor has thought it through, I will not insist." The queen smiled reluctantly, "I will have the Fifth Princess's things moved back to Chenyou Palace in a few days."
"Don't bother the Queen." Wang Fuhai smiled brightly, "Today is the second day since the Fifth Princess moved in. Many of her things are still unpacked. The Emperor specifically asked me to move them back intact."
The queen smiled and nodded: "That's natural, that's natural."
"Then you can do as you please." Wang Fuhai turned around with a stern expression and said to the people moving things, "People moving things should be careful, check the seals and objects carefully. If one is missing, you will be in trouble."
The queen watched Wang Fuhai leave her sight like this. When he was far away, she sat down on her throne with her legs softened and shouted, "Damned eunuch."
