According to the old women, she was the Empress Dowager's most beloved granddaughter.

The Emperor's favorite niece, the only child in Prince Yong's mansion, a master even more noble than a princess, she can disregard everyone except the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and Empress, and Prince Yong.

Little did she know that the most undesirable thing in this world is to look down on others. With the relentless efforts of those she looked down on, Zhao Shu's reputation deteriorated day by day, and she eventually became a commoner despised by everyone.

Haha, she went from being a noble princess to a commoner, trampled into the mud by those she once looked down upon.

By the time she realized she couldn't be so foolish, it was too late. Her father had been stripped of his title, and she herself had become a commoner.

"Nonsense, Ah Jun, be good. Tell your father what you want to eat, and your father will have someone find it for you." Of course, Prince Yong couldn't let Zhao Shu cook herself. What kind of talk would that be for a princess?

Zhao Shu is no longer a child; this whole commotion is just an attempt to drive these concubines away.

Sure enough, this incident was quickly brought before the Empress Dowager. "Ah Jun actually wants to cook for herself?" Her granddaughter is truly pitiful.

"Yes, indeed." The lady-in-waiting Zhang Chu choked up as she spoke, "The princess had each of the concubines in the manor prepare a dish, but she couldn't eat it all. In the end, she thought of cooking for herself. It's truly pitiful. In other people's mansions, their food, clothing, and daily necessities are all taken care of by their own mothers..."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager burst into tears. "My poor A-Jun, how can a child without a mother not be able to live? No, I will immediately arrange a second wife for the Nineteenth Prince to take care of A-Jun. Let's see who dares to disobey my decree."

Similarly, this incident at the Prince's Mansion was also brought to the attention of Emperor Mingde. "You mean Ah Jun made all of Nineteen's concubines wear name tags?"

"Yes, these name tags all clearly state 'So-and-so's concubine' so that people can immediately tell who it is." Lan Yue replied with his head down. He was a member of the Shadow Division, which was responsible for monitoring princes and ministers on behalf of the emperor, and he was in charge of monitoring the Yong Prince's Mansion.

Emperor Mingde's furrowed brows relaxed, and he even laughed twice, "Ah Jun, this is a good idea. This method is perfect for Nineteen's problem of not being able to remember women's faces."

Lan Yue dared not say anything. Unlike the other eunuchs, he was not good with words and certainly did not know how to flatter.

"They're going too far, stuffing so many women into the nineteenth brother's household. You may leave." Emperor Mingde waved his hand, his face darkening even more than before.

Clearly, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had very different perspectives on issues.
