Shen Jiaqing walked out of the palace quickly and got on the carriage. He could no longer hold back the anger on his face. His handsome face was twisted with anger and his whole body was cold. He shouted at the servant driving the carriage, "Go back home."
The coachman was so frightened that he was silent, and his hands were unsteady as he pulled the reins. However, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Judging from the expression of the young master, he must have not gotten a good result with Prince Chun.
But what did Prince Chun, a fool, do to make the prince so angry? Besides, wasn't Prince Chun going to marry his own daughter? He wouldn't embarrass the prince at this moment. The servant scratched his head but couldn't understand the reason. He could only guess that Prince Chun was a fool and didn't know how to please his brother-in-law.
Shen Jiaqing returned to the mansion, still furious. If it was any other prince, he would not be so angry. But the one who embarrassed him was Prince Chun, a foolish prince whom he never took seriously and who he thought he could control. How could he not be angry
Shen Mingya knew her brother was back, so she went to her brother's yard with the help of her maid. She was wearing a light yellow dress, and her figure was graceful, like a willow swaying in the wind. Seeing her brother's gloomy face, she felt a little uneasy, and with expectation in her beautiful eyes, she asked carefully: "Brother, has the emperor agreed to grant us marriage?"
She frowned slightly. Given the love that Prince Chun had for her, she shouldn't be worried. But for some reason, she felt uneasy for the past two days. She always felt that something unexpected was going to happen. Her slender fingers couldn't help but touch her belly. She couldn't feel at ease until the imperial decree of marriage was issued. Only by marrying Prince Chun could she keep the child in her belly.
When Shen Jiaqing saw his sister, the anger on his face faded a little, and he said, "The emperor has always loved Prince Chun. As long as Prince Chun asks, he will never refuse. He has agreed to grant the marriage, but he just wants to choose a good day to issue the imperial decree."
Shen Mingya was a little puzzled, and said with dissatisfaction: "It's just an imperial decree to grant marriage, why do we have to choose a date? It would be fine to choose an auspicious day for the wedding, why bother with so much trouble."
Shen Jiaqing thought of Han Ze's words, and his anger resurfaced. He snorted, "A mere ruffian who got the upper hand by chance, but he's just a jerk in the way he does things..."
Shen Mingya was startled and interrupted him: "Brother!"
Shen Jiaqing pursed his lips and said nothing more, but his expression remained gloomy.
Shen Mingya knew her brother's dissatisfaction, but now the world belongs to the Han family, so no matter how dissatisfied she is, she has to hide it. She frowned and said faintly: "Brother, you are not the only one who is angry. I am also full of resentment. I feel humiliated when I think about marrying that stupid prince who can't read a word. I am a noble lady from a noble family. If the Han family hadn't won the world, how could Han Ze marry me? But for the sake of the children and Xiuxian, I can endure it."
Shen Jiaqing felt sad for his sister, but he had to tell Han Ze what he said: "The stupid king's children heard that he was going to marry a princess, and they were worried that you would abuse them, so they threatened to make you write a guarantee that you would not abuse them."
Shen Mingya's beautiful eyes suddenly opened, her fingers clenched tightly, and she asked in a panic, "Brother, what did you say?"
Shen Jiaqing's face was gloomy: "You heard it right, that stupid king did ask you to write a guarantee that you would not abuse those little kids."
Shen Mingya's frail body shook slightly, and she said in disbelief: "I don't believe it. I don't believe Han Ze would do this to me."
Han Ze loves her so much, how could he do something to embarrass or humiliate her
Shen Jiaqing felt very distressed when he saw her expression, and said, "I heard it with my own ears, how could I be wrong?"
Shen Mingya had tears in her eyes and pulled Shen Jiaqing's arm: "Brother, I want to see Han Ze, I want to see him, I promise I can't write this, once I write it, how can I face people? Those noble ladies are used to flattering the powerful and trampling on the weak, if they know about this they will definitely ridicule me, then even if I become a princess I will be a joke."
Shen Jiaqing said in embarrassment, sighed and said helplessly: "Mingya, you must write this guarantee."
Shen Mingya looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Shen Jiaqing explained: "Given the love that Prince Chun has for you, you can say that you took the initiative to write this guarantee. There is a difference between you taking the initiative to write it and Prince Chun asking you to write it. You took the initiative to write this guarantee, which means that you have never thought of harming those two children. It means that you have a kind heart, and you have a loving heart even for your stepchildren. This will earn you a reputation for being kind in front of the Emperor and Empress. In addition, the Emperor and Empress love Prince Chun, and they will love you and the child in your belly even more."
Shen Mingya was stunned and let her tears fall. After a while, she said, "You are right."
Even if it was for the sake of the baby in her belly, she should write this guarantee, but she still felt aggrieved.
Shen Jiaqing continued, "In the future... ... the court is in trouble both internally and externally, and the emperor and the prince are busy with government affairs and have no time to care about a stupid prince. That stupid prince is obsessed with you, and you can coax him into speaking well of you in front of the emperor and queen with just a few words. You can do whatever you want in the palace, and even those two little brats, won't you let them be disciplined by you?"
Shen Mingya's eyes flashed, her child, and she subconsciously touched her belly. After a moment, she said softly: "You are right, I will listen to you."
...
In the palace, Madam Liu walked up to the Queen's ear and whispered something. The Queen was furious after hearing it: "How dare she hit the palm of my grandchildren?"
Nanny Liu stood respectfully aside, her expression also filled with anger.
The queen had a gloomy face and said sternly, "Go and bring that slave girl to me. I will interrogate her and ask her how she dared to humiliate my grandchildren."
Nanny Liu stepped back in response.
After Aunt Liu left, the Queen hurriedly ordered the eunuch beside her: "Bring the little prince and princess here, so that I can see their hands."
Just as he finished speaking, the little maid came in with the Xinghui Danzhu.
The queen stood up and hugged Xinghui Danzhu, saying distressedly, "Show grandma your hands."
Xinghui Danzhu stretched out her little hand. Seeing that her grandmother was worried about them, Xinghui smiled and said, "Grandma, our hands are fine. Dad asked the doctor to check us and applied ointment. Don't worry."
The queen looked at their red and swollen little hands and wished she could skin the old hag alive. How could the old hag dare to hit their hands when she couldn't bear to say a word to her grandchildren? She frowned and said, "How can grandma not be worried? Don't worry, grandma will take care of it for you and will teach that hag a lesson."
Xinghui said, "Grandma, we have punished Grandma Xing."
The queen looked at them in surprise: "How was the punishment?"
Danzhu said crisply beside him: "Daddy said how she treated us, we treated her the same way, spanking her hands and starving her..."
The Queen snorted and said, "Your father knows what's good for him, but how can you just spank her and starve her? You are the grandchildren of the Emperor, the descendants of the royal family, how precious you are. That woman is just a servant, how can she compare with you? She must be severely punished to make an example of her and make those servants dare not look down on you anymore."
Xinghui said, "We'll listen to grandma."
Danzhu pouted and suddenly said, "Grandma, I don't like Miss Shen to be my stepmother."
The queen's eyes were sharp, but she looked at her grandchildren with kindness and gentleness, and asked, "Tell grandma why you don't like Miss Shen to be your stepmother?"
Did Miss Shen do something
Xinghui glanced at Danzhu, but Danzhu ignored him and looked aggrieved: "The eunuchs and maids in the mansion are saying that Daddy has married Miss Shen as the princess and doesn't want us anymore. Although Daddy asked Miss Shen to write a guarantee that she would not abuse us, I still don't like Miss Shen."
The queen's eyes were sharp, and she said gently: "With Grandpa and Grandma here, no one can bully or abuse you."
Xinghui Danzhu leaned in grandma's arms. The queen touched their little heads kindly and teased them: "In the future, you will stay in the palace with grandma. Since your father wants to marry Miss Shen, we don't want him anymore. How about that?"
Xinghui Danzhu cried out, with a conflicted look on her face. That's her father, how could she not want him
The queen asked with amusement, "What's wrong?"
Danzhu twisted her fingers and stammered, "But, but Daddy is very stupid. If we don't want him, what should we do if the eunuchs and maids in the mansion bully him?"
Xinghui looked at the Queen, hugged her arm and acted like a spoiled child: "Grandma, even though Daddy is a little bit stupid, he still loves us very much and is very filial to us. We should keep him, otherwise how pitiful he will be alone."
No matter what Daddy is like, he is still their Daddy and they still like him very much. How can they not want him
The queen suppressed her laughter and pretended to be stern: "Hasn't he forgotten about you just because he had Miss Shen? He didn't even know you were spanked. He's so useless. Let's not have him anymore, okay?"
Danzhu and Xinghui looked at each other. They didn't like Miss Shen being a stepmother, but they also couldn't bear to leave their father behind.
Danzhu hugged the queen's arm and said, "Grandma, I can't bear to part with my father. Should we keep him?"
Xinghui said embarrassedly: "I can't bear to leave Daddy either."
The queen laughed and said, "Okay, for Xinghui and Danzhu's sake, let's take him. Little Xingxing and Little Zhuzhu can't bear to part with him."
Danzhu Xinghui then smiled, and Danzhu flattered him, "Grandma is so nice."
The queen asked her, "Who is better, grandma or daddy?"
Danzhu said hurriedly: "All is well."
The Queen was sad: "So in Xiao Zhuzhu's heart, I am the same as your father?"
Danzhu blushed, grandma is so mean!
The queen smiled and said, "Grandma will not tease you anymore. Let the imperial physician take a look at your hands."
Xinghui said, "Grandma, the doctor in the mansion has checked it out, and it's fine."
The queen touched his head and said gently, "Listen to grandma and wait and see."
Xinghui knew that grandma was worried about them. He was so sensible, how could he let grandma worry? So he nodded and said, "I'll listen to grandma."
By the time Nanny Liu and her people carried Nanny Xing into the palace, Nanny Xing had been tortured half to death, and her breathing in was greater than her exhalation.
The queen was speechless when she saw her like this. She didn't know how Aze punished this old woman, and she had no interest in punishing her anymore. She just had her carried away to avoid bad luck.
In the afternoon, Han Ze came to the palace to pick up the two little ones. The queen waved her hand and said, "Xinghui and Danzhu will stay with me in the palace from now on. You can go back and take care of your Miss Shen."
Danzhu Xinghui was a little anxious. Although they wanted to accompany grandma, they couldn't bear to leave their father. Should they accompany grandma in the palace during the day and go back to the palace to accompany their father at night
Han Ze was stunned in the spot, and it took him a while to find his words: "Miss Shen has not yet married into the palace."
The Queen said angrily, "You mean, after Miss Shen married into the palace, you will not care about Xinghui Danzhu, me and your father? You will only care about coaxing Miss Shen?"
Han Ze got anxious when he heard this, blushing and stammering, "I, I didn't..."
It took less than half a day, and he didn't even utter a complete sentence.
Seeing him like this, the queen was really angry and distressed, and lamented: "Why did I give birth to such an enemy like you? I hope that Miss Shen is a good person."
If it's not good, she doesn't mind disappearing.
Han Ze hurriedly said innocently: "Mom, Miss Shen is fine."
The queen teased him, "What should I do? Tell me about it."
Han Ze said carelessly: "Miss Shen doesn't like gold and silver, she only likes flowers and plants. If we marry her, no one will compete with us for the gold and silver in our home. She also helped me a lot and wrote a guarantee that she would not abuse Little Pearl and Little Star..."
The Queen asked, "Did she really write you a promise not to mistreat Little Pearl and Little Star?"
As for the previous words, she automatically ignored them.
Han Ze nodded: "When I came here just now, Prince Shen brought the guarantee." Then he took out the guarantee and handed it to the queen.
After reading it, the Queen smiled and said, "Your father's imperial decree for marriage has not arrived yet, but she has already made this promise. It seems that Miss Shen is eager to become your princess."
I hope she really wants to marry Aze and doesn't have any other thoughts.
Han Zejun's face turned slightly red, as if he was embarrassed.
The queen looked at her son like this and sighed softly. She then looked at the little grandchildren beside them and saw that they had smiles on their faces ever since their father came over. She shook her head and laughed. No matter how close she was as a grandmother, she could never be as close as their father.
Han Ze took the two children out of the palace and sat in the carriage. He said, "I thought your grandmother really wouldn't let you go back to the mansion. It would be so boring for me to stay in the mansion alone."
Xinghui pouted and said angrily: "You already have Miss Shen as your princess, so it doesn't matter if we don't go back to the mansion."
Danzhu was also unhappy: "Miss Shen will give birth to your baby. When you have them, how can you think of us?"
After saying that, he lowered his head and didn't look at his father.
Han Ze said hurriedly, "Didn't we agree that as long as Miss Shen agrees to write a guarantee that she won't abuse you, I will allow her to be my princess?"
Danzhu looked at him unhappily and said, "We agree, but we still don't like her."
Xinghui nodded: "Sister is right, we agree that you can marry Miss Shen as your princess, but we still don't like her."
Han Ze: “…”
Xinghui said: "It depends on which side you are on?"
Danzhu then emphasized: "If you stand on Miss Shen's side, we will go to the palace to accompany grandma and never come back. Anyway, you don't want us."
Han Ze hurriedly said: "I didn't abandon you."
Xinghui Danzhu turned her head away and didn't believe him at all.
Han Ze scratched his head and coaxed, "How about this, I'll take you guys out to play tomorrow?"
Xinghui Danzhu's eyes lit up. They hadn't gone out to play since they came to the capital.
"Okay, okay." The brother and sister said repeatedly.
Danzhu pouted, "Since you took us out to play, we won't make things difficult for you."
Han Ze smiled foolishly and said, "When we came to the capital, didn't we say that we would come together to enjoy the good life in the capital? How could I not want you?"
Xinghui Danzhu curled her lips and said nothing.
The next day, after breakfast, the family of three packed up and went out. Sitting in the carriage, the brother and sister opened the curtain and looked curiously at the busy streets outside. Passing by a silver shop, Han Ze saw the glittering golden plaque on it, his eyes lit up and said, "There must be a lot of gold jewelry there, shall we go and take a look?"
Danzhu's eyes lit up. When she was in the village, the daughter of the village chief wore a pair of gold earrings. The friends in the village were envious, and Danzhu was no exception. When she arrived in the capital, although she had a lot of gold earrings, gold necklaces, and gold headdresses, and the styles were beautiful, much more beautiful than the gold earrings of the village chief's daughter, she still wanted a pair of gold earrings like the village chief's daughter.
When they arrived at the silver shop, Danzhu ran ahead, shouting, "Dad, hurry up."
She bumped into the person in front of her without noticing. She covered her head with a cry of pain. Just as she was about to speak, a little maidservant next to her shouted, "Where did you come from, you wild girl? You bumped into our young lady and we won't forgive you."
Shen Mingya stood nearby, looking at Danzhu with an unfriendly expression, thinking that this little girl was too reckless. She didn't look like an ordinary child in her clothes, and her upbringing was so poor. However, due to her status, she didn't scold her for fear of offending others.
Of course, she did not stop the maid from scolding her. After all, this little girl bumped into her. What if she bumped into her abdomen and hurt her child? She should be taught a lesson to prevent her from being so reckless next time.
Danzhu was stunned by her scolding and whispered, "I didn't mean it. I'm sorry."
The little maid refused to give in and continued to curse: "This is a silver shop, is this a place for a little girl like you? Get out now."
Danzhu pursed her lips and looked at her unhappily.
Han Ze walked forward and asked, "What happened to Xiao Zhuzhu?"
Shen Mingya was stunned. She didn't expect Han Ze to come.
Danzhu pointed at Shen Mingya next to him and said pitifully, "I bumped into someone."
Han Ze seemed to have just seen Shen Mingya, and smiled foolishly: "Miss Shen!"
Shen Mingya saluted him: "Pure King!"
Danzhu looked at Shen Mingya, her dark eyes widened, and pointed at her and said, "So you are Miss Shen?"
Shen Mingya didn't expect that this uneducated little girl was actually Han Ze's child. For a moment, her body was a little stiff and her face turned pale.
Danzhu ignored her and said bluntly: "Daddy, I just bumped into Miss Shen without paying attention. Miss Shen's maid called me a wild girl and told me to get out."
Shen Mingya was startled, her face turned even paler, and she said hurriedly: "Your Highness, you also know that my health has always been poor. My maid was worried about my health, so she spoke rudely..."
The little maid lowered her head in fear, she could never imagine that this wild girl was actually the princess of Prince Chun's mansion. Then she thought that her young lady would marry into Prince Chun's mansion in the future, she felt relieved, Prince Chun really liked their young lady, she thought he would not embarrass her young lady for that little girl.
Xinghui said beside her: "My sister is only five years old, so small, and you are so tall. Even if she is not in good health, it is just a slight bump. It can't do anything to you, right?"
Shen Mingya swayed her body, tears in her eyes, and said nothing, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Danzhu snorted, "Daddy, which side are you on?"
Han Ze glanced at Shen Mingya, as if anxious, and whispered: "Miss Shen, can you help me?"
Shen Mingya was stunned and looked at Han Ze in confusion.
Han Ze said again: "Miss Shen, Xiao Zhuzhu and Xiao Xingxing are afraid that I will marry you as my princess and then I will not want them anymore. Can you help me?"
Shen Mingya stared at him blankly, not knowing why Han Ze said that. Shouldn't he scold the little girl for bumping into her? How to ask her for help? And what kind of help? She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Han Ze said, "That girl is your maid. She just scolded Xiao Zhuzhu. Please help me scold her and let Xiao Xingxing and Xiao Zhuzhu see that I am on their side. This way they won't think I don't want them. This way, it means that you are on their side, and they will like you."
Shen Mingya: “…”
It was clearly the little girl who bumped into her, so why did she scold her own maid
She looked pale and complained in her heart that he was a fool after all, with no logic or reason in his mind. Even if he liked her, he didn't know how to please her.
Besides, could she not want those two guys to like her
The little maid looked at Han Ze in disbelief. Didn't he like his young lady? Why did he still teach her a lesson
