Xiao Yu pursed her lips, unable to figure out Princess Chaoyi for a moment.
"Princess framed Ben Gong like that, isn't she afraid that Ben Gong will be angry and abuse the young master?"
Princess Chaoji shook her head, "No, the Crown Princess would not do this. If the Crown Princess hadn't been kind, Xin'er would have died in the river long ago. It was Chaoqi who was stupid and made a big mistake, but Xin'er is innocent. The Crown Princess Chaoyi is willing to do anything as long as it can save Xin'er."
Princess Chaoyi suddenly realized that she had ignored the young master before, but every time she saw the young master suffering from illness, she still couldn't help feeling distressed.
These days, Princess Chaoji was being bullied in Yingchuan Hou's Mansion, except for a few close people, the rest were very perfunctory to her and even the young master.
If Emperor Xiyue hadn't abolished Princess Chaoyi, the Yingchuan Hou Mansion would have divorced his wife long ago.
Princess Chaoyi is self-aware, Mrs. Yingchuan Hou frequently visits the Queen Mother in the palace, isn't it because she intends to divorce Princess Chaoyi
Sensing the danger, Princess Chaoyi took the opportunity of visiting Concubine Zhao to visit the Prince's Mansion. Now, no one can save her except Concubine Xiao!
Concubine Xiao snorted, she didn't have any malice towards that child, she is so well-behaved and sensible at such a young age, and her health is not good, so the child is innocent no matter what.
"Go back first, let me think about this matter."
Concubine Xiao didn't say anything to death, she still had a little bit of guard against Princess Chaoyi, she needed to investigate this matter carefully, and she couldn't just listen to Princess Chaoyi's words.
Princess Chaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Crown Princess."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, it's up to me whether I agree or not."
Xiao Yu picked up the teacup, and Princess Chaoyi quickly found a reason to back down.
"Crown Princess, do you really want to help Princess Chaoyi? This slave may not have any good intentions looking at Princess Chaoyi!" Hong Xiu curled her lips.
"The child is innocent after all. My father once said that Marquis Nanyang is an admirable person who will surely do something in the future, but it is a pity that he died young." Xiao Yu sighed. Mrs. Zhao, beating Zhao Qinglin shows that she still has some humanity."
If it was for Princess Chaoyi herself, Xiao Yu might not make a move, but for the sake of the child, Xiao Yu hesitated.
"Go and inquire about the residence of the Marquis of Yingchuan." Miss Xiao ordered.
The young master was indeed too pitiful, Hong Xiu didn't refuse this time, and quickly nodded in response.
After a while Qingyu came in, "Crown Princess, Mrs. Yingchuan Hou will enter the palace tomorrow to discuss Buddhism with the Empress Dowager."
Concubine Xiao nodded when she heard the words, "It just so happens that I'm going to pay my respects to my concubine tomorrow, let's make arrangements."
"yes!"
As soon as Princess Chaoyi entered the house, she was led to the hall by the maidservants. His Majesty Yingchuanhou and Mrs. Yingchuanhou were talking in the hall.
"Why didn't you come back so late today, Xin'er has been crying several times."
Mrs. Yingchuanhou sat on the high seat, her expression was unkind, "How can you be a mother, Xin'er is almost four years old, and she is still so ignorant!"
Prince Chuan Yinghou on the side drank his tea with his head down, pretended not to see, and didn't say a word, allowing Mrs. Yingchuanhou to teach Princess Chaoyi a lesson.
Princess Asakusa looked puzzled.
"Sister, it was Xiner who insisted on looking for her sister, so she ran out secretly, and even pushed Shier, but thanks to the servant girl, she helped her. If she hits a rock and breaks her head..."
The woman trembled as she spoke, her eyes were filled with fear, and her eyes were reddened.
"Mother, it's Qing'er who didn't take care of Shi'er, please punish her."
Saying that, Aunt Qing knelt down in front of Mrs. Yingchuanhou, blaming herself and annoyed, her thin and slender body was crumbling, and her beautiful face was weeping with rain, which was very touching.
"Mother, I was the one who pulled Qing'er to say something, so I didn't have any scruples for a while." Yingchuan Hou Shizi defended Aunt Qing in a low voice, "It's because Xin'er is spoiled, he should be lawless, and he still doesn't know what to do. No mistake!"
Princess Chaoyi couldn't listen anymore, she just asked, "Where is Xin'er?"
Princess Chaoji's eyelids are jumping, what can a child under four years old understand, besides, Xin'er is weak, and she is very well-behaved and sensible on weekdays, so she won't cause trouble at all.
She just went out for a while, why did Xin'er cause trouble!
"Hmph, you still have the guts to ask. After going to the palace, you don't care about your family, so you just know to run away. This child is also the eldest grandson of Yingchuanhou's mansion in name. Such a character is not a joke!"
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou deliberately bit down on the three words on the name, but she didn't recognize the grandson of the young master from the bottom of her heart, and she was very disgusted.
"Xin'er made a mistake and deserves to be punished. She has already been locked up in the ancestral hall and punished to kneel for three hours."
Yingchuan Hou Shizi said in a deep voice, "The maidservant in Chenxiangyuan can't even look after a child. She has been dismissed by her mother and has been re-arranged with new staff. This kind of mistake is only allowed once. Don't blame me for not doing it next time." You're welcome."
Yingchuan Hou Shizi Chu Bai taught the lesson with a cold face, and there was a hint of warning in his tone.
Princess Chaoxi couldn't listen anymore, she turned her head and left the house, heading straight to the ancestral hall.
Only a child was sent to the ancestral hall and punished to kneel down, Princess Chaoxi's heart twitched severely.
"Look at what it looks like. Sure enough, the humbleness in your bones can't be changed!"
Now the whole city of Shengjing is spreading the news about Zhao Qinglin. Princess Chaoyi is Zhao Qinglin's elder sister, so Princess Chaoyi's reputation is also damaged, and Yingchuan Hou's mansion is also affected.
Besides, Mrs. Yingchuanhou was not satisfied with Princess Chaoyi. Princess Chaoyi came in before the funeral and conceived a child within a few months. It was a great shame to the entire Yingchuanhou Mansion!
"Qing'er, how is Shi'er?" Mrs. Yingchuanhou asked immediately, her attitude towards the two children was completely opposite.
Aunt Qing shook her head, "The doctor said that he was frightened and fell asleep, but he couldn't leave people by his side, and the maid cried as soon as she left."
Mrs. Yingchuanhou frowned tightly when she heard the words, "Damn evil, you must have bumped into Shier and frightened Shier. Tomorrow, an eminent monk from the temple will come to the palace to pray for blessings. Take this opportunity to get a peace talisman and hang it on the bedside." , I have worked hard for you these days."
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou is very kind to Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing was originally the daughter of the official family. If the marriage was not granted by imperial decree, Concubine Qing would be the concubine, and Shier would be the eldest grandson.
Ying Chuanhou's greatest anger was that the position of his eldest grandson was taken by a bastard, and he was really wronged.
"Mother should rest assured, Qing'er will definitely take good care of Shi'er." Aunt Qing nodded obediently.
It was this obedient and forbearing appearance that made Chu Bai feel sorry for Aunt Qing even more.
"Don't worry, there will be nothing less if it belongs to Shi'er." Chu Bai whispered.
Aunt Qing glanced at Chu Bai gratefully, and Chu Bai said, "Go back and see Shi'er first, and I'll look for you later."
Aunt Qing nodded and quickly left the room.
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou slapped the table, "Hmph, I'm asking for trouble, I don't even look at what kind of temperament the Crown Princess is, it's completely forced to turn a blind eye to Concubine Zhao, so as not to have trouble with the Crown Prince in the future, What kind of person is she, but she is born of a lowly aunt, and she really regards herself as a son of a phoenix and a dragon?"
There is some estrangement between Princess Chaoxi and the Crown Princess, it is useless to go to the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess is messed up, but even the Empress Dowager has nothing to do with it, it is no wonder that such a charming girl of heaven is willing to talk to Princess Chaoyi!
Chu Bai lowered his head and remained silent, with a flash of disgust in his eyes.
"No, looking at that face every day, and living under the same roof, occupying the position of the first wife and the eldest grandson, I really feel stuck in my heart. I really can't keep this person."
Mrs. Yingchuanhou couldn't bear it anymore, as long as she went out and met the official's wife, everyone looked at Mrs. Yingchuanhou's eyes.
Mrs. Yingchuan Hou has been in charge of the backyard for so many years, she has never experienced anything, and she can see through everyone's thoughts at a glance.
After waiting and waiting, there was no news that the Emperor Xiyue had deprived her of the title of Princess Chaoyi. Mrs. Yingchuanhou couldn't sit still. Seeing that Brother Yuan was getting older, but he was bearing the name of a bastard. Even the School of Literature and History couldn't get in.
The Academy of Literature and History is an academy in Shengjing, only the sons of the legitimate sons can enter, and the teachers there are all retired from the imperial court cabinet, and many people want to get in even if they squeeze their heads.
The Academy of Literature and History is the academy with the most number of top scholars in West Vietnam. Many officials in the current dynasty came from the Academy of Literature and History. If they entered the Academy of Literature and History with one foot, the worst would be a ninth-rank official. They will have the opportunity to suffer slowly in the future.
Mrs. Yingchuanhou thought more and more, and she couldn't calm down at all, "The eldest grandson of Mrs. Li's family was sent in at the age of five, and there is still a year to go, so we can't delay any longer."
Chu Bai pondered for a long time, "Mother, is it true that the Crown Princess won't interfere in this matter?"
Mrs. Ying Chuanhou smiled, "Don't worry, the Crown Princess has just arrived, and she has an unreasonable temperament. She offended the Crown Princess before the court. It's no good either, why should the Crown Princess take so much effort to be thankless?"
Only then did Chu Bai feel relieved, "Then everything will be arranged by my mother."
The mother and son looked at each other tacitly, just waiting for a good time.
Princess Chaoji quickened her pace, her heart fluttered, and she was almost at the gate of the ancestral hall, but was stopped by two rough envoys.
"Princess, Madam has an order to make Young Master Sun repent for three hours, and there is still one hour left. Please don't embarrass the servants, princess."
Princess Chaoxi looked into the eyes, there was no movement in the closed room, Princess Chaoxi was about to break in without caring much.
But Mrs. Xu grabbed Princess Chaoqi, "Why should the princess offend Madam? Madam is also doing it for the good of Young Master Sun, so that Master Sun will have a long memory so that he will not mess around in the future. The princess knows Madam's temper. Taking Young Master Sun out will only make Madam more dissatisfied, and it will not be beneficial to Young Master Sun or the princess."
"Yes, princess, an hour has passed quickly. The reason why Madam is willing to spend her energy teaching Young Master Sun means that she will soon approve of Young Master Sun. If the princess messes up like this, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?"
The two women sang and persuaded, saying that they would not let Princess Chaoqi in.
Princess Chaoyu said with a cold face, "Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rude!"
The two women were frightened by Princess Chaoji's fierce aura, and they backed away involuntarily. Princess Chaoji rushed forward and kicked the door open.
There was only the smell of candles in the whole room, and there were rows of solemn memorial tablets, and there was a cold wind from time to time, which made people afraid.
Princess Chaoji saw the little man kneeling on the futon at a glance, his body was kneeling straight, his thin and thin body looked smaller than his peers.
Chu Xin opened her big watery eyes, she was a little blurry, but her nose was very sensitive, she grinned, "Mother."
The crisp mother sound directly made Princess Chaoxi burst into tears.
Princess Chaoyi rushed forward and hugged Chu Xin, "Xin'er, it's because mother is late."
It wasn't until Princess Chaoyi got closer that Chu Xin saw Princess Chaoyi clearly, her little face was a little anxious, "It's the old lady who said not to move, otherwise I will punish my mother to kneel with Xin'er..."
Chu Xin looked harmless, her whole face was pale, the bruise on her forehead was very obvious, and there was a lot of blood on her clothes.
"Xin'er, tell mother quickly, how did you get the injury on your head?" Princess Chaoyi asked softly.
Chu Xin lowered her head, "Xin'er accidentally fell."
As she said that, Chu Xin's nose was sore, and her voice was muffled. Although Princess Chaoyi ignored her son before, it didn't mean she didn't understand Chu Xin.
"Let's go back to the yard with mother." Princess Chaoyi pulled Chu Xin and was about to leave.
Chu Xin shook her head, "No, grandma said that she will continue to kneel for three hours."
Princess Chaoxi softened her tone as much as possible, "Xin'er, it's been three hours, otherwise how would mother come in."
Chu Xin's tense body immediately softened when she heard the words, and she fell directly into Princess Chaoyi's arms. Princess Chaoyi caught Chu Xin, and Chu Xin's whole body was astonishingly hot.
Princess Chaoyi immediately left the ancestral hall with Chu Xin in her arms, her complexion suddenly changed, and she yelled, "Go and call the imperial physician!"
The news of Chu Xin's illness soon spread to Mrs. Yingchuanhou's ears, and she sneered, "This sick man has been with the medicine pot since he was born, and he can survive every time. Just die, save me to do it myself!"
It's a pity that we are in Shengjing right now, and before the Empress Dowager Song agrees to speak, Madam Yingchuanhou can only bear with it. After all, Zhao Yi is still the princess of Xiyue in name, and she still has some scruples.
"Let Dr. Luo go and have a look." Mrs. Yingchuan Hou looked indifferent, "This old look is useless even if Bian Que comes!"
"yes!"
Doctor Luo prescribed a medicine for Chu Xin, and the fever subsided in less than an hour. Chu Xin fell into a drowsy sleep, and Princess Chaoyi was relieved.
"Dr. Lauro is here."
Dr. Luo bent down, quickly raised his eyes to look at the villain on the couch, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "Princess, you are welcome, this is what ordinary people should do. Young Master Sun will be fine after a day's sleep."
Princess Chaoyi shouldn't think too much, she just stays in front of the couch wholeheartedly.
At this time, a servant girl stepped forward, "Princess, Madam ordered you not to leave the house for two months, and take good care of Young Master Sun."
This is a disguised form of confinement, the whole room is filled with people arranged by Mrs. Ying Chuanhou, there is no room for Princess Chaoyi to refute.
"That's fine, I have that intention, so go back to your mother."
The maid nodded and left quickly.
He waved his hand at Princess Yu, "Go down, all of you."
Suddenly there were only two people left in the room, and they glanced at Mint at Princess Yi, "What's going on this afternoon?"
Mint lowered her voice, "Princess, it was Aunt Qing who carried the Second Young Master to the outside of the garden on purpose, and sent away the maidservant in Chenxiangyuan, and let someone take the Young Master away. The servant even found out that the Second Young Master was not injured at all. The second son wanted to snatch the young master's jade pendant, so he pushed the young master, and later the wife deliberately frightened the young master, telling the young master not to tell the princess about it."
Mint quickly told Princess Chaoyi what happened. In order to find out these things, Mint spent a lot of money, otherwise no one would want to tell Mint a word.
Princess Chaoxi clenched her fists tightly, her fair face was flushed with anger, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she was more helpless.
She is not a real golden branch and jade leaf, so what right does she have to make trouble? Ying Chuanhou is a minister who was heavily used by the Emperor of Xiyue, and he did not abolish the position of princess, but out of pity.
Princess Chaoyu thought about it and had to swallow her breath back, "Don't let Xin'er go out in the future, and stay indoors."
Mint was very annoyed, but she could only nod her head in response. After a few days, Mrs. Yingchuan Hou cut off the confidants around Princess Chaoji, making it difficult for Chen Xiangyuan to move forward.
Now that Concubine Zhao has lost her position and lost the favor of the emperor, the Yingchuan Houfu will not take Princess Chaoyi seriously anymore.
Mint suddenly glanced at Princess Yi, bit her lips, "Princess, will the Crown Princess help us?"
Princess Chaoxi paused for a moment, and thought for a while, "I'm not sure either, so just wait."
Princess Chaoyi was a little confused and looking forward to it, and hoped that Concubine Xiao could help her, as long as she protected Xin'er.
