Fengyi Palace,

The eldest princess accompanied the queen and knew that her mother was frightened today: "Father is fine. The imperial physician said it was all thanks to that fat guy, otherwise Father would have been in great danger."

The queen wanted to strangle that fat guy to death. If she hadn't meddled in other people's business, she would have been the queen mother instead of having to watch the emperor and other concubines being so affectionate, which was an eyesore.

The queen originally wanted to accompany the emperor, but was rejected by the emperor. Now she called the favored Concubine Yun to serve her.

Lady Yun is delicate and gentle, and speaks softly. She is not very outstanding in the harem, but she is pleasing to the eye. When the emperor sees her, he thinks of the girl he liked before.

Unfortunately, he died while in the residence.

Now that I know the queen's vicious mind, even looking at her for a second is painful.

Thinking of Bai Yueguang, I found a substitute to wash my eyes.

Ever since the arrogant and spoiled imperial concubine passed away, the emperor has not summoned concubines to serve him for a long time. Today he ordered Concubine Yun to seek comfort.

The emperor felt disheartened when he thought that the queen was eager for his death and the prince was eager to ascend the throne.

"Don't be angry, mother. Father understands that you and the others in the Duke's Mansion are in exile and are in a bad mood, so he lets you rest alone. Concubine Yun is nothing. Father can summon her if he wants." The eldest princess persuaded the queen, thinking that she was jealous.

The queen looked at her naive daughter and knew that she was a child who was brought up in love and pampering. She had no idea of ​​the sorrow in her heart, and it was not easy for her to tell her directly that she was sad not because of Concubine Yun, but because the emperor had not passed away.

"Your Majesty Mother knows that you are tired today. Go down and have a rest!" The Queen did not dare to reveal her thoughts to her own daughter. If people knew that she was hoping for the Emperor's death, it would be a serious crime.

The Queen didn't know, but the Emperor already knew.

The eldest princess didn't want to leave and stayed with the queen reluctantly.

The Queen looked at her daughter, who was hesitant to speak, and knew what she was thinking: "Do you like that little Master Shen?"

The eldest princess's face flushed redly, "Mother, my daughter is sixteen years old. If she were to marry a prince consort, she would prefer someone like Master Shen."

"He can't." The queen refused.

The eldest princess widened her eyes, puzzled: "Why? The Shen family has a good family background, Shen Shoufu is trusted by my father, and Master Shen was the top scholar three years ago. He is more than enough to match my daughter."

Anger flashed in the Queen's eyes: "Do you know why the Duke's family was confiscated and exiled?"

The eldest princess frowned: "Why?"

The Queen gnashed her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment: "It's all the Shen family's fault. If that bitch Madam Shen hadn't told your aunt that I liked the feast at the Duke's Mansion, I wouldn't have specially sent one to the palace."

"It's not a big deal if only the other people were poisoned. The main thing is that your father was poisoned too. He was vomiting and having diarrhea, and he beat people up. He had a belly full of poop. His majesty was shattered, and he was so angry that he punished him severely."

The eldest princess opened her mouth and said defensively: "That was done by my second aunt herself. What does it have to do with the Shen family?"

"Do you like that young Lord Shen so much?" The queen didn't want to say too much to her daughter, knowing that it was useless to say more.

The eldest princess blushed and nodded: "He is very good, and it would be even better if he could be a prince consort."

"If he has any problem in his mind, he would not want to be a prince consort. Look at how many prince consorts can be reused in the court. Master Shen is not the kind of person who is willing to give up his future for you."

The eldest princess was heartbroken.

No capable and ambitious person wants to marry a princess.

That would be self-destructive.

This is also why very few people who passed the imperial examination became princes-in-law.

The princesses' husbands are basically people without much talent. Even if they do have some, they will not have the opportunity to display their ambitions after becoming husbands, and they have to avoid suspicion.

"If you want to get married, your mother will find a good one for you after a while. Forget about the boy from the Shen family." The queen comforted.

The eldest princess' eyes turned red: "But I like Mr. Xiao Shen."

The queen sighed: "I'm afraid he doesn't like you."

"Impossible! I am a pampered princess. How could he not like me?" The eldest princess didn't believe it.

The Queen patted her hands and said, "Huan'er, no matter what, your mother doesn't want you to marry Master Xiao Shen."

"Mother~" The eldest princess was unwilling.

The queen rubbed her eyebrows and didn't want to continue this topic. She waved her hand and asked her to leave. She wanted to be alone.

So much happened today that the Queen was upset.

The eldest princess left Fengyi Palace feeling aggrieved. She snorted twice in dissatisfaction and said to her trusted maid, "Go and find out about Master Shen. Can the man I like run away?"

The maid nodded.

At the Prime Minister's residence, three-and-a-half-year-old Yan Bao eats, drinks, and plays every day, and by the way, he complains about everyone in the family, big and small, and praises Mrs. Shen who is very good at making clothes.

Mrs. Shen was so flattered by Yan Bao's praise that she wanted to make new skirts for her every day and ask the kitchen to prepare delicious food. As long as her daughter was happy, she would have everything to eat and drink.

Every time this happened, Yan Bao would mindlessly boast: "My mother is so beautiful, virtuous, capable, and clever. My father was lucky to marry her. Being her daughter is a blessing from my past life!"

"Whatever Yanbao wants to eat, mother will make it for you." Mrs. Shen felt very happy when she was praised.

Yan Bao's eyes widened: [Really, I want to eat French fries.]

Mrs. Shen: “???”

What are French fries?

Yan Bao knew that they definitely didn't know what French fries were, and she also knew that they didn't understand what she meant. She also knew that it was impossible for her to eat French fries. If she wanted to eat them, she would have to wait until she grew up and became self-reliant.

She is only three and a half years old and doesn’t even know where the kitchen is. Let alone cooking, she doesn’t have any space of her own.
