Prince Cheng was extremely confident in his good looks when he was young!

Back in the day.

Among all the princes, he was ranked number one in terms of looks.

Before he was married.

Many young ladies from wealthy and prestigious families secretly admired him.

more than this.

He directly asked his father, who was an official in the court, to request the emperor to grant him a marriage.

but.

In the end, Prince Cheng chose a woman with a birthmark on her face.

He loved her dearly throughout his life, and after her passing, he was unable to let go of the grief and never remarried.

Prince Cheng composed himself.

This is an old story.

That's all in the past.

"This little princess is very cute."

The Empress Dowager nodded.

"Yes, she is my source of joy."

"Whenever I see her, I forget all my unhappiness."

Ye Qianqian reached out her hand.

He stroked the old prince's beard.

"Oh dear, this little girl is the first person to dare to grab my beard."

"But I can't bring myself to be angry with her."

It wasn't because of Princess Ye Qianqian's status.

It was actually Prince Cheng who truly loved her.

Since you spoil him, he won't get angry even if you pull his beard or pinch his face.

The Empress Dowager smiled.

"This little girl is bold and loves money."

"oh?"

The old prince was very surprised.

"He's just a little kid who can't even speak yet, and he's already this greedy?"

Yes, yes, I'm a born money-grubber!

[Speaking of which, since my royal uncle is my elder, shouldn't he give me a lot of gold?]

Ouch!

Is it really that straightforward?

They immediately asked for gold.

And you can't give too little!

Has this little girl forgotten the life-saving grace I showed her last night?

Little girl, shouldn't you give me a red envelope as a thank you for saving you, my royal uncle?

certainly.

It's impossible for Prince Cheng to really care about something like this.

He smiled and said to Ye Qianqian.

"My royal uncle really didn't have any silver on him."

"How about I bring you lots and lots of things next time Uncle comes to the palace?"

[Oh dear, how could my royal uncle take this seriously!]

[Qianqian didn't really want her royal uncle to give her a lot of gold!]

[On the contrary, Qianqian should be the one to properly thank her Imperial Uncle for saving her life last night!]

But I still can't kneel down, I can't even crawl! It's so frustrating!

[Despite being a fairy, she can't even use her magic, and can't save her life in crucial moments.]

[By the way, what happened to Wang Tiezhu, the assassin who kidnapped me last night?]

Is he really dead? Actually, I feel he still has a conscience. Giving him a chance to start anew is worthwhile.

After the Empress Dowager heard Ye Qianqian's thoughts.

He deliberately asked the old prince.

"Third brother, where is the assassin who kidnapped the little princess last night?"

"He was injured, but not seriously. The imperial physician has already treated him."

"Although this person was an assassin, he still had a conscience and never harmed the little princess."

“He has explained everything clearly, and I will ask the Emperor to be lenient with him.”

The Empress Dowager nodded.

"Yes, it's that Consort Zhao who harbors malicious intentions."

"They actually plotted to kill Consort Jin and take away the custody of the little princess."

"That's what the old Prince Cheng said."

"Women in the imperial harem have always been prone to jealousy and rivalry, so I'm not surprised by it."

"This kind of thing is really unnecessary to bother with."

"But if they harbor malicious intent, they must be severely punished!"

[Hehehe! Great! That bitch who tried to kill my mother will be taught a lesson by Aunt Xu!]

I really want to see a scene like this!

"Guards! Let's go! I'm off to watch the show and eat some melon seeds!"

The old prince was speechless.

At such a young age.

He just has a heart that loves to watch the excitement.

OK.

Then I'll grant your wish.

Let me take you to eat some melon seeds!

In Huafeng Palace.

Zhao Jieyu has already been brought here by the people sent by Xu Qingzhi.

Zhao Jieyu was unaware that Wang Tiezhu had betrayed her.

They assumed that Xu Qingzhi was deliberately giving her a warning because she had gossiped about her in front of the Empress Dowager.

then.

Zhao Jieyu said deliberately.

"Why did the Imperial Noble Consort bring me here in this manner?"

"Smack—"

A slap was quickly delivered.

Zhao Jieyu's face was immediately swollen from the slap!

"You've done such a heinous thing, and you still have the nerve to ask me what I'm talking about?!"

"It seems I should order someone to slap you a few times to wake you up!"

Just thinking about the pain from that slap!

Zhao Jieyu immediately gave in!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows you were wrong!"

"Oh? You realize your mistake so quickly? You're probably just doing this on purpose to avoid getting slapped!"

Even if you know you're wrong, you still deserve this slap!

"Smack—"

Several more slaps landed on his face.

Zhao Jieyu was slapped to the ground!

"Imperial Noble Consort, I truly know I was wrong!"

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't have gossiped about the Imperial Noble Consort in front of the Empress Dowager!"

"I will never dare to do it again!"

These words were spoken.

Xu Qingzhi was even more furious!

"You shameless wretch!"

"They actually believe that I'm petty and vindictive because you gossiped about me to the Empress Dowager!"
