Chapter 20: A Show of Power

The next day, at the gate of the inner palace.

The old woman with relaxed brows and regular features slowly squatted down and personally pinned a golden hairpin into the bun of her young son in front of her.

The girl looked about five or six years old. She was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat and a pair of light green embroidered shoes with the tips of her shoes peeking out from under her skirt. She was wrapped tightly and was holding a hand warmer in her arms. She looked very delicate.

"Grandmother, Yihe doesn't want to go to Prince Qing's mansion. Uncle Wang won't laugh and he's very fierce. Can Yihe stay in the palace to learn the rules? Yihe promises to learn well this time!"

The queen had a smile on her lips and shook her head gently, and the hairpins on her bun swayed with it, but without making any sound. Her dignified and graceful posture was worthy of being the mother of a country.

"You little rascal! If you were willing to learn, why would you wait until today? Once the New Year is over, you'll be five years old!"

She placed an extremely delicate brocade box in Yun Yihe's hands and instructed her, "Yihe, when you see Sister Yuntang later, give this gold hairpin to her and tell her it's from you, okay?"

Yun Yihe pouted and said nothing.

The Queen frowned slightly: "Didn't we just agree on this? Two golden hairpins, one for you and one for my sister. Don't lose your temper!"

Yun Yihe immediately got angry when she heard this: "No! I want both!"

After saying that, she got on the carriage without looking back.

What sister? A child secretly born by a lowly female doctor is worthy of being her sister?

Besides, she is not the emperor's biological granddaughter, so she doesn't want to give it to her!

The Empress Dowager's favor can only belong to her!

The Queen stopped smiling, her expression growing colder by the second. Seeing this, the young woman beside her hurried forward and said, "Mother, please calm down. I have failed in my teaching. I will go and persuade the Princess right away."

The queen said nothing more, brushed away the young woman's hand that was trying to help her, stood up gracefully, pursed her lips and got directly into the sedan chair.

He was a good kid, but he became a bad boy after being raised by her for two years!

If this continues, she will have to find a new wife for the King of Qi.

Without waiting for the sedan to go far away, Yun Yihe slammed the door shut, obviously very angry.

Why did the Empress Dowager leave without even trying to coax Yihe?

snort!

After watching the queen's team go away, the young woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and slowly got into the carriage.

Yun Yihe glanced at her mother and immediately turned her head away: "Don't say anything, Mother. I will not give a gift to that annoying guy, especially one prepared by the Empress Dowager!"

Princess Qi sat down beside her, placed her hand lovingly on the back of the girl's hand, and said softly, "No, no, it's our Princess Yihe's things, you can do whatever you want with them."

"..." Yun Yihe turned her head in shock, her pair of dark eyes full of disbelief.

This time, Mother didn't stand on the side of the Imperial Grandmother! ?

Princess Qi looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes, as if her heart was broken.

"Mother just loves you. You said your uncles have brothers and sisters in their mansions, but your grandmother doesn't seem to favor them so much..."

"But now, she actually wants you to please a... to please a child who isn't even on our royal family's pedigree!?"

"My dear child, you must know that in this world, only your mother loves you the most and worries about you the most!"

"Mother is just afraid that your Royal Grandmother won't treat you and only you well in the future..."

Yun Yihe was young and naive. She frowned and immediately retorted, "Nonsense, mother! Grandmother only has father as her son. I am her only granddaughter. She will only love me!"

She opened the brocade box, grabbed the gold hairpin inside, threw it hard on the ground, and stomped on it.

No! I won’t give it to you!

She would rather destroy the hairpin than give it to that annoying guy!

Yun Yihe opened the car door and pushed Princess Qi out, and when she closed the door, she did not forget to throw the gold hairpin out as well.

…

As the carriage drove out of the palace, Yun Yihe knocked hard on the wall. "Walk around a few more times before heading to Prince Qing's Mansion. This princess wants to teach that annoying bastard a lesson. I want her to stand outside in the cold!"

Overthinking it.

Little Tangbao, whom she called a nuisance, was now lying on his father with his arms and legs spread out, dreaming sweet dreams.

In a dark corner outside the door, the female ghost in red huddled up in fear and cried all night long.

That Prince Qing was so murderous that she couldn't even get close to the door. She couldn't do it...

Near noon, the one crying even more miserably than the ghost girl in red was Yun Yihe, who had already arrived at Prince Qing's mansion but was deliberately left in the flower hall by Prince Qing and his daughter.

"I have been here for over an hour. Why hasn't that Tang Bao come to pay his respects to me yet?"

She got up in the morning in a bad mood and didn't eat breakfast. After being jostled around in the carriage for half a day, she was starving!

Outside the door, little Tangbao, who had eaten a lot and had been learning chess with his father for a long time, heard someone in the room getting angry, put down his hand that was about to push the door, and turned around and left.

"Stop!" An old lady in gorgeous clothes suddenly jumped out from the corner, scaring the little guy.

She took a few steps to block Tang Bao, lowered her eyes and bowed slightly: "Excuse me, are you the young princess of Prince Qing's mansion?"

Tang Bao's eyes rolled around...

After a while, she nodded very lightly.

The old nanny immediately raised her voice and said, "Your servant Feng greets the princess. May your highness be well and safe."

Yun Yihe flung the door open and threw the cup of water she was holding at Tang Bao. "How dare you! Not only do you disrespect me, but you even refuse to show respect when you see me?"

"Kneel down before this princess!"

Little Tangbao looked down at the wet silver sable fur cloak on his body, and his brows were twisted into a knot.

After a few breaths, she suppressed her anger and said, "We are both princesses of Daliang. Why should I kneel down to you?"

Yun Yihe: "Just because I'm the Empress's granddaughter, and you're a nameless, wild girl!"

Tang Bao pouted: "What you said is unreasonable. The Queen is the mother of the country, and she is also my grandmother!"

Yun Yihe's eyes widened in shock. "You dare to talk back to me? Come, take her down and spank her fifty times!"

"Also, take off her cloak. How dare a mere medical girl dress better than this princess? I think she's committing treason and deliberately humiliating me!"

The maids who came with Yun Yihe looked at each other, straightened their backs, and walked straight towards Tang Bao.

When little Tangbao wanted to run away, Aunt Feng quickly opened her arms and stuck out her butt to stop her.

Caught it!

Little Tangbao struggled so violently that several maids had to pin her to the ground. One of them even knelt on Tangbao's back.

"You're quite strong, little hooves! If you fall into my hands, I'll beat your butt until it's covered in blood!"

Humph! Outside of Prince Qing's mansion, who would acknowledge this little bastard as a princess?

Besides, they were ordered by the royal family to teach these lowly people the rules. No matter how powerful Prince Qing is, can he be more powerful than the emperor and empress?

She has been with the Empress for decades. Everyone in the palace knows that the Empress treats her like a sister! ?

Others may be afraid of Prince Qing, but she is not!
