princess

Chapter 32

After seeing off the prince, Madam Zheng saw that the eldest princess went to practice calligraphy again. Because she was upset, she wrote a few pictures, and Xiao Yuanmin stopped by herself.

Nanny Zheng took the honey water, watched Xiao Yuanmin drink it, and stepped aside, while Nanny Tang advised, "Why should the princess be angry about those people? The body is her own."

Xiao Yuanmin didn't speak, but stood up and took out a long-preserved scroll from a cabinet. At that time, Queen Huiyi had just conceived, and the eldest brother was not dead. Emperor Xuanhe was so happy that he asked the painter to paint their whole family. .

Emperor Xuanhe and Empress Huiyi sat together, Emperor Xuanhe held Empress Huiyi's hand with one hand, and himself with the other. The elder brother stood beside the queen mother, with a little intimacy, and the queen mother held the elder brother's hand with one hand, On the belly, where the unborn brother resides.

"The princess doesn't need to be so sad. The Yao family has made an idea. If it is used well, it will benefit the princess without any harm." Madam Zheng said softly.

"It's not like that." Xiao Yuanmin's finger brushed the face of Queen Huiyi lightly, as if he was afraid of damaging it, "I know their plan, and they even think it's sending a helper in, so I should be happy That's right, but... people always have a bottom line."

Xiao Yuanmin didn't say any more, but carefully picked up the scroll and put it away again. There were four pictures of this painting at that time, but only two are left, and the pictures of his mother and elder brother were buried with them.

The Yao family's plan is very clear, and she can see it through, but if she sees it through, she can see it through. Whether she accepts it or not is another matter.

After packing up his things, Xiao Yuanmin didn't want to read any more, so he rested after washing up.

Xiao Yuanmin's place is not peaceful, and the Yao Mansion is also not peaceful. The new patriarch of the Yao family is Yao Guangyao, the son of the previous patriarch, who is of the same generation as Yao Shengqin.

Yao Guangyao was so angry that he wanted to smash his cousin's head with a hammer to see if it was full of paste, but he couldn't make any sense, "Let my cousin live in your house for a while, and teach her how to behave ,It's that simple."

"Our family is poor and cannot afford to support outsiders." Yao Shengqin said slowly while holding a cup of tea. After being with Father Yao for a long time, Yao Shengqin's words became more and more annoying.

The first empress’s natal family was poor, and it’s ridiculous to say this, especially after the death of Empress Huiyi, Emperor Xuanhe felt guilty for empress Huiyi’s suppression of his father and brother, and rewarded them with great kindness. The car is given down.

"That's your cousin." Yao Guangyao said under pressure.

Although he is the patriarch, Yao Shengqin is still the uncle of the crown prince and eldest princess, he really dare not do anything to Yao Shengqin.

"My sister is also your cousin." Yao Shengqin looked at Yao Guangyao and sneered, "Why, my sister has only been dead for five years, and you want someone else to live in her yard? Even if I agree, you have to ask Ask me if I agree."

"How old are you, and you still call me when you quarrel with your cousin." Father Yao came out of the back hall stroking his beard, without looking at Yao Guangyao, instead he said to Yao Shengqin, "I don't know if the old man needs to rest?"

"Uncle San Tang." Yao Guangyao hurriedly got up and called out respectfully.

"I can't bear it." Yao's father looked at Yao Guangyao and said, "Son, pack up your things quickly. Our family's old and young are not offended. Today the patriarch wants to occupy your dead sister's yard and use you to die. My sister's nanny and maid are going to our Yao Mansion tomorrow, why don't you move out quickly, why are you so ignorant..."

Yao's father muttered to teach his son a lesson, which made Yao Guangyao beside him blushed. He didn't mean that at first, but just wanted Yao's house to help train his next cousin. To enter the palace.

If she can better understand the habits and even the facial expressions of Empress Xian, then it will definitely be beneficial to her, and it will also be beneficial to the entire Yao family.

Otherwise, Yao Guangyao was unwilling to offend this family. Yao Shengqin and the others had already had a rift because of the Yao family's sending their daughter to the draft.

"Third Uncle, that's not what I meant." Seeing Father Yao's words getting more and more wrong, he quickly interrupted, "Why don't you send the nuns who raised Queen Huiyi to teach your cousin, and you don't have to... ..."

"Look, I'm starting to ask for people. Today I want people, tomorrow I want money, and the day after tomorrow I want a house..." Father Yao sighed, "I'm old, it's time to make room for you, my poor Lin'er, you How long have you been gone, and they have bullied your old father, and when they are sent to the palace, they have to bully the prince and princess to death... I am incompetent, I can't take care of my grandson and granddaughter..."

When Yao Guangyao left, he felt as if he had been severely beaten, no, he would rather be beaten.

The third uncle was of a high seniority, and he was the biological father of the late empress. Yao Guangyao couldn't offend him, so he decided to hide.

Glancing at the gate of the Yao Mansion, Yao Guangyao felt annoyed. He was not here for the Yao family, nor for the prince. After his cousin entered, she would be able to take care of the prince. It was better than being wooed by someone else.

"Father." Yao Shengqin took a cup of tea and put it in Father Yao's hand. After he drank it, he said, "You said that if the cousin enters the palace and gives birth to a son, will the Yao family..."

"People's hearts are always dissatisfied." Father Yao sighed, which is why he expressed his attitude that he would never help. Even if Yao Guangyao is a clear-headed woman, how can a woman who enters the palace not be dazzled by wealth?

Besides, which woman is willing to be another person's substitute for the rest of her life, wouldn't she think that no matter her background or anything else, she is no worse than Yao Lin, why Yao Lin can be the queen, her son can be the prince, and she is nothing?
It would be a good thing if someone came into the palace to help take care of the grandson and granddaughter, but this person just can't make Yao's family. If Queen Huiyi is still there, it doesn't matter, it's just... "They are all confused. The family has a queen, Lin'er is already an exception." After all, no one thought that it would be Jinshang's enthronement.

"Do you think you need to talk to Yuan Min?" This is what Yao Shengqin hesitated.

Yao's father shook his head and said with a sneer, "They still want to plot against my granddaughter, let's dream." In fact, he sees it very clearly. If it is an ordinary child, he will definitely get close to his mother who is similar in appearance and comes from his mother's natal family. It's a pity that neither the prince nor the princess is an ordinary person.

After Lin'er's death, can she live so well, protect the younger brother of the prince, and even control the powerful people in the palace, can she still be called a child?
"Don't worry about it." Yao's father stood up, "If they don't get punished, they won't be reconciled...Everything Lin'er does, they don't care about it, and...if it wasn't for Lin'er, the Xu family would be our Yao family. A precedent for the family..."

Xiao Yuanmin didn't know anything about the Yao Mansion, so he went to see Emperor Xuanhe when he woke up the next day. Emperor Xuanhe had just finished his business, and when he heard the message, he quickly let his daughter in, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Father." Xiao Yuanmin said after saluting, "I saw the list after the primary election yesterday."

"Oh?" Emperor Xuanhe looked at his daughter, "What are your plans?"

"How about promoting Concubine Jing to be a concubine?" Xiao Yuanmin didn't hide it, and said with a smile, "What do you think, father?"

"Why?" Emperor Xuanhe didn't say yes or no, but asked with interest.

Xiao Yuanmin was not flustered either, and said calmly, "It's too dangerous for my brother."

Emperor Xuanhe lowered his eyes slightly, "Go on."

"The whole world belongs to the Xiao family, and the harem is for father and his children to live in a better place." Xiao Yuanmin said what he had thought about a long time ago, "it's not something that the Zhu family can control. Her family has a queen dowager, isn't one concubine enough? Now she wants to send someone into the palace, what is the plan? My daughter doesn't believe them."

"It's too reckless." Emperor Xuanhe knocked Xiao Yuanmin on the forehead, "Just tell me these things, but don't talk nonsense outside, you know? Anyway, it's your imperial grandmother."

Xiao Yuanmin pulled Emperor Xuanhe's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Daughter understands, but daughter knows that Emperor Father will protect her. If she can't tell the truth in front of Emperor Father, how tired she is."

Emperor Xuanhe was amused, "So you are right?"

Xiao Yuanmin tilted his head proudly.

"Go on." Emperor Xuanhe asked with a smile.

Xiao Yuanmin nodded, "After all, the Zhu family is Grandma Huang's natal family, and Grandma Huang's mood must be taken care of. Some people say that it is not good to be too bright. Since she has been promoted to Concubine Jing, it is impossible for a family to have two concubines. Even being a concubine is difficult, Grandma Huang should know what Emperor Father means."

"That's right." Emperor Xuanhe glanced at Li Dezhong. Li Dezhong took out the list and spread it out in front of Xiao Yuanmin. Emperor Xuanhe nodded and said, "Let's have a look."

Only then did Xiao Yuanmin see that it was almost the same as his own share, except that the family background of each beautiful girl was marked in more detail.

"Who does Xuanxuan think is better to choose?" Emperor Xuanhe asked.

"The Zhu family doesn't want it, the Yao family doesn't want it." Xiao Yuanmin said, "I hate these two families."

"Yao family? Why?" Emperor Xuanhe asked in confusion.

Xiao Yuanmin pursed her lips, with a bit of sadness on her face, "They all said that the Yao family's show girl is [-]% similar to the mother's queen, I hate it."

Emperor Xuanhe was silent for a while, and Xiao Yuanmin continued, "I don't believe that this is not the Yao family's plan. Such a reputation spread just after the primary election. I don't believe that the Yao family did not contribute to the flames. I hate them."

"The queen mother is the queen mother, no matter how resembling she is, she can't replace the queen mother." Holding back tears, Xiao Yuanmin looked at Emperor Xuanhe, "The queen mother is unique."

Emperor Xuanhe sighed, and patted his daughter's head, "Silly child, the Yao family can't let it go."

Xiao Yuanmin held Emperor Xuanhe's hand, tears dripping down the back of his hand, "Why?"

"Because that represents my attitude, I can't help but praise the Yao family, which is your and Xi'er's natal family." Emperor Xuanhe said softly, "At least it can't be lower than the Zhu family's status, understand?"

Xiao Yuanmin threw himself into the arms of Emperor Xuanhe, "They are bad people, I hate them...Father, they are all bad people..."

Emperor Xuanhe felt distressed and at the same time relieved. It seemed that neither Xuanxuan nor Xi'er had deep feelings for the Yao family, and even had some hatred. Except for Lin'er's father and brother, no one in the Yao family really understood, but That's good, at least I don't have to worry about my relatives.
