Xinghui Danzhu opened his round black eyes wide and looked at Shen Mingya, as if to say, "We're just waiting to see which side you stand on."
Shen Mingya noticed their gazes and her face showed annoyance. She was resentful towards Han Ze in her heart. She resented him for making her face this embarrassing situation. She resented him for not teaching that girl a lesson even though it was clearly that girl who bumped into her, but instead letting her scold her own maid. Now she had to apologize to that girl. Wasn't this her fault
She hadn't even married into the palace yet, but she had already been humiliated by these two brats. How would she discipline these two children in the future
Han Ze looked at her with doubtful eyes and asked, "Miss Shen, what's wrong with you? You look a little pale."
Shen Mingya gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "I'm fine."
Danzhu stood beside her father, looked at Shen Mingya, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Miss Shen, are you unwilling to scold your maid?"
Xinghui continued, "That's right. Since you brought that maid out, she must be quite useful to you. You must be reluctant to let her go."
Danzhu glanced at her brother and said, "My brother and I are strangers. It's not worth it for you to scold your maid for us."
Shen Mingya's expression became uglier and uglier as the two siblings spoke. If possible, she would like to sew their mouths shut immediately so that they could no longer talk nonsense.
Han Ze looked at Shen Mingya in confusion, and asked puzzledly: "Miss Shen, are you reluctant to part with that maid? But she is just a maid. If she is disobedient, we can just replace her. For example, my maid Diejin is disobedient, so I will not use her anymore. There are many obedient maids in the mansion."
Shen Mingya's face changed slightly, but she didn't care about her maid, and asked, "What's wrong with Diejin?"
Han Ze's face was full of displeasure: "The maid in the mansion bullied Xiao Zhuzhu and Xiao Xingxing, but Diejin actually sided with that maid and even pleaded for her. She stood on the side of that maid. I replaced her."
Shen Mingya hurriedly asked, "Did you misunderstand her? Diejin has served you for so long, and her feelings are different from those of others. Why don't you forgive her?"
Han Ze frowned, looking dissatisfied: "But Diejin sided with that old woman, and that old woman beat Xiao Xingxing and Xiao Zhuzhu's hands until they were swollen. I don't want to forgive her, and you don't have to plead for her."
At this point, the look he gave Shen Mingya was filled with resentment, a bit disbelieving, as if to say, why are you also on the side of that old woman? Are you also on the side of that old woman
Han Ze's dissatisfied look choked Shen Mingya's words that were about to come out of her mouth. She dared not say any more. Since Diejin was useless as a chess piece, she could just find another one. She had finally gotten Han Ze's favor, and she couldn't make Han Ze unhappy because of a maid.
Han Ze said again: "Miss Shen, Xiao Zhuzhu is the master. Your maid scolded Xiao Zhuzhu, why didn't you scold her? Are you really on the side of the maid? Or have you been deceived by the maid?"
There was hurt in her eyes, as if she was saying, Miss Shen, you shouldn't take the side of the maid.
"How is that possible?"
Shen Mingya took a deep breath and thought to herself, I'm not angry, I'm not angry. He's just a fool. Why should I bother with a fool
But looking at Han Ze's dissatisfied face, she knew that if she didn't punish her maid today, Han Ze's good impression of her would definitely decrease. In order to marry Han Ze smoothly, she could only put her maid in an awkward position. Later... ... she would definitely get back the humiliation she suffered today a thousand times.
The little maid finally panicked, but she knew her mistress's temper and did not dare to beg for mercy. In order to dispel the prince's anger, she had to accept the punishment.
Shen Mingya looked at the little maid: "Go back and get the board."
Han Ze snorted, "Fifty lashes."
Shen Mingya was annoyed and gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty lashes."
She has the final say on how many strokes of the cane he gets when he returns home.
Han Ze said, "There are two eunuchs in the palace who are the best at beating people with sticks. I will let them do it."
Shen Mingya squeezed out a word: "Okay."
The maid was pale and trembling with fear. She did not fall down because of the support of another maid.
Han Ze was very satisfied. He looked at Danzhu and asked, "Xiaozhuzhu, you see, I said Miss Shen is on our side."
Shen Mingya had a smile on her face, but she hated Xinghui Danzhu in her heart.
Xinghui Danzhu nodded with satisfaction, but was thinking in his heart that although Miss Shen said she wanted to punish the maid, it did not mean that Miss Shen was on their side. Didn’t he see that Miss Shen’s face was as black as the ash at the bottom of the pot? Only his silly father foolishly believed that Miss Shen was on their side.
Han Ze looked at Shen Mingya and said, "Let's go look at jewelry. What about you, Miss Shen?"
Shen Mingya smiled unnaturally and was about to speak when Han Ze said, "Miss Shen must have passed by here, right?"
Shen Mingya was stunned with her mouth open. Han Ze smiled foolishly and said, "Miss Shen doesn't like beautiful jewelry. She only likes piano, chess, books, paintings and so on. She definitely won't like the things in this silver shop."
Shen Mingya clenched her fingers. If she didn't like jewelry, why did she come to the silver shop? Moreover, even if she didn't like these gold and silver jewelry, given her relationship with Han Ze, shouldn't Han Ze buy her one or two sets of jewelry to please her
Han Ze waved his hand and said, "Miss Shen, please go back to the mansion first. Little Star and Little Pearl and I will go inside to take a look."
Shen Mingya: “…”
Later, her other two maids felt sorry for their young lady. This prince was too stingy. When he met his young lady in the silver shop, he didn't even pick one or two pieces of jewelry for her. He even said that he liked his young lady? Could this be love
Then the master and servant saw Han Ze take out a stack of banknotes. He bought whatever jewelry the little girl pointed at, spending money lavishly, no longer stingy as before. Looking at the pile of gold, silver and jade ornaments they bought, there was a bracelet and a hairpin among them, which were actually favored by Shen Mingya but she was reluctant to buy.
Shen Mingya didn't want to admit that at this moment, she was jealous of the little girl, but when she thought about the future, when she married into the palace, everything in the palace would be hers, she felt better.
...
In the palace, Emperor Mingzheng looked at the memorial in his hand, his face was furious, and he said sternly: "Let the Marquis of Yongchang and his good daughter and son roll over to me."
"Yes." Hu Deyang secretly lit a candle for Marquis Yongchang in his heart. Why did he plot against Prince Chun when there were so many people to plot against? Prince Chun was the Achilles' heel of the Emperor and Empress. If you plot against him, wouldn't it be like an old man hanging himself because he thought his life was too long
Emperor Mingzheng threw the memorial to the ground fiercely and said angrily: "Hu Deyang, you go in person. I want to see who gave him the courage to plot against my son."
"yes."
When Hu Deyang left, Emperor Mingzheng was still furious and ordered the eunuch beside him: "Let the queen and the prince come to Mingxin Hall."
As soon as the Queen and the Crown Prince arrived at Mingxin Hall, they saw the memorial on the ground. The Queen frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Emperor Mingzheng took a few deep breaths, pointed at Crown Prince Han Wei with a dark face and said, "Go and take a look at that memorial."
The queen glanced at the prince and pretended to be angry and said, "Did the prince do something to make you angry? I'm here to scold him. Please don't get angry or it will hurt your body."
Han Wei touched his nose and went to pick up the letter from the ground.
Seeing the Queen, the Emperor's expression eased a little, and he shook his head, saying angrily, "You think too much. It's not the Crown Prince who irritated me, it's clearly those villains outside who can't see us having a good time."
He said the last sentence through gritted teeth.
The Queen frowned and asked, "What happened?"
The emperor sighed. Since this matter concerned Han Ze, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
Han Wei had already opened the memorial and read it through. After reading it, he was also furious, and his tone was sharp and murderous: "The Yongchang Marquisate deserves death."
Yongchang Marquis Mansion
The queen's eyes turned cold. Wasn't the girl that Aze liked the one from that mansion? Could it be Aze's business? Was the girl trying to deceive Aze and didn't really want to marry him
Han Wei handed the memorial to the Queen. The Queen took it and looked at the contents. Her fingers trembled and she said angrily, "What a kind-hearted Miss Shen."
She held the memorial in her hand, looked at the emperor, and said gloomily, "We can't let this family off easily."
The emperor sighed softly, and his anger had subsided a lot at this moment. He said, "The Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is easy to deal with, but Aze finally likes a girl, and in his heart, Miss Shen is the best. How should we tell Aze?"
The main reason is that Aze is innocent. If he knew that everything Miss Shen did was calculated, how could Aze bear it
Han Wei said coldly: "Tell the truth. The world has just been stabilized, and the court is facing internal and external troubles. We can protect him temporarily, but not forever. We should let him know that people's hearts are treacherous."
The emperor was in a dilemma. He could be cruel to any of his sons, but he couldn't be cruel to Aze.
The Queen sighed and said, "This matter can only be handled step by step. If Aze didn't like the hypocritical Miss Shen so much, I would tell him the truth then. I think he wouldn't be so sad."
Aze is such a naive child, yet those people dared to plot against him. They really deserve to die.
Han Wei sneered at the side and said, "Aze is a straightforward person, who only sees things in black and white. He will let Miss Shen do something that disgusts Aze, so that Aze will know that Miss Shen is not as good as he thinks. After a few rounds, Aze's love for Miss Shen will turn into disgust."
The Queen hesitated: "Is this okay? Will Miss Shen agree?"
Emperor Mingzheng snorted, "She has no choice but to agree."
The Queen could only accept this arrangement. She felt disgusted with Miss Shen who caused this incident, and said unkindly: "Once Aze starts to dislike Miss Shen, we must not let them go."
Emperor Mingzheng said, "How can I let you off easily if you dare to plot against my son?"
The queen was relieved.
...
Shen Mingya returned to the mansion, still furious, but she always thought she was calm and elegant, and didn't want to act like a mad woman and throw a tantrum. She could only suppress the rage in her heart. Suddenly, a maid came to report, "The emperor's eunuch Hu Deyang is here."
Shen Mingya stood up suddenly and said excitedly, "Could it be that the eunuch is here to announce the imperial decree granting marriage?"
The maid's face was also full of joy: "Miss, do you want to change your clothes so that we can go out to receive the imperial edict?"
Shen Mingya looked at her clothes and found that they were still presentable. She said hastily, "Oh, it's too late. Let's just leave it at that. Let's go quickly."
"yes."
When Shen Mingya got outside, she ran into Shen Jiaqing, whose face was also full of joy. He smiled and said, "After today, my sister will be the princess."
Shen Mingya blushed and said angrily, "Brother, don't talk nonsense. If you haven't married into the palace and haven't been canonized, you can't be considered a proper princess."
Shen Jiaqing laughed, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything nonsense, but it's almost the same."
Shen Mingya's cheeks flushed. Although Han Ze was a little stupid, when she thought about what she would get by marrying him, she felt it was all worth it.
