Madam Tan Tai closed her eyes and said disappointedly, "You are the child I carried for ten months, so I will naturally protect you... But you are really immoral and incompetent. Listen to your mother's advice, stay in the palace and don't cause trouble."
Madam Tan Tai has been in charge of the family for many years and has a long-term vision. Now the Prince of Yan and the Prince of Heng are constantly fighting, with the Prince of Yan gradually gaining the upper hand.
Perhaps in the future, Prince Yan will be able to ascend the throne and become emperor.
As long as the princess behaves herself and doesn't cause any more trouble, her future position as queen will surely be secure. If the princess persists in her wrongdoings and continues to stir up trouble, her position as queen may be lost.
The Queen sent someone to convey her decree to Madam Tan Tai, and the implication of her words was the same - as long as the princess behaved herself, the position of Queen would not change.
The princess froze in shock.
It’s hard to believe that her biological mother chose to turn a blind eye!
"Mother! Don't you love your daughter anymore? You watched her being stepped on by that peasant girl!" The princess cried out.
Madam Tan Tai scolded: "Be obedient and don't cause any more trouble. Your good fortune is still to come."
In the future, if the princess becomes the queen, even if she is an unfavored queen, it will be a great honor for the Tan Tai family. The men in the family can also rely on the queen as a big tree and get more important positions in the court.
The princess obviously couldn't listen and felt betrayed by her mother: "The Shen family is against me everywhere, how can I have such a blessing! Mother, who has deceived you?"
Madam Tan Tai rubbed her brows and said, "Come here, send the princess back. Send the jade Buddha back as well."
A circle of delicate baby totems was engraved around the lotus throne of the jade Bodhisattva. This is not the Willow Guanyin who brings blessings, but the Guanyin who brings children.
Old Madam Tan Tai is sixty years old and has been a widow for many years. Her youngest daughter gave her a statue of "Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth". If this were to get out, it would make people laugh out loud.
This shows that the princess did not take care in choosing the gift.
"Mother, you...you...I think you are confused!" The princess felt aggrieved, tears falling down her face, and she walked away angrily.
Just as Madam Liu was about to catch up, Madam Tan Tai coldly warned her, "Madam Liu, keep an eye on her and don't let her cause any more trouble!"
Madam Liu lowered her head and said, "I understand."
The princess left in anger, and the inner hall was empty. The eldest daughter, Tan Tai Shu Qin, walked out from the darkness and gently massaged Old Madam Tan Tai, comforting her softly, "Mother, please don't blame my younger sister."
Madam Tan Tai sighed: "It's my fault. I spoiled her too much back then."
The princess's life had been so smooth. She was loved by the whole family at a young age, married a noble prince, and had children by her side. Her life was too smooth and easy, which made her feel helpless and lost when faced with setbacks.
...
...
The princess was filled with rage and returned to the palace in a rage. She really couldn't expect that she would suffer a setback from her mother today.
Even her closest relatives were unwilling to help her and watched her suffer in the palace.
The rage in my heart was like a prairie fire, almost impossible to extinguish. As soon as the princess stepped into the gate of the palace, she looked up and saw Shen Wei, whom she hated.
Chen Wei's face became more and more charming, as beautiful as a peony blooming in the garden. She was at the gate of the courtyard, talking to the steward of the palace, who looked very respectful.
The princess got angry when she saw Shen Wei's face. She had made a mistake in the past and actually took this ambitious woman into the palace, raising a tiger to harm herself, which led to the princess's current miserable situation.
"What are you going to do now?" The princess looked very unhappy.
Chen Wei turned around when she heard the voice and said, "It's Madam Tan Tai's birthday. The prince is busy with official duties and can't spare time, so he asked me to deliver the jade ruyi to the old lady."
Chen Wei was not feeling well and could not go to Tan Tai's house in person, so she asked the housekeeper in the mansion to bring birthday gifts and send them in the name of the prince.
The steward held the box containing the jade ruyi carefully, not daring to get involved in the fight between the two masters, and left quickly with his head down.
Shen Wei glanced at the princess, pressed her handkerchief to her temple, and said casually: "Since the princess has returned home, you are still sick, you should go back to Kunyu Courtyard to recuperate."
To the outside world, it was announced that the princess was seriously ill and that Shen Wei was the only one who could take charge of the household. If the princess were to be active and show off everywhere, it would be bad for the reputation of the palace.
The princess's eyes were like knives: "When you saw me before, I was like a timid quail, very cautious. Now you are so popular, you even care about my affairs!"
Shen Wei had no time to get entangled with her.
Verbal bullying is useless. The princess has now been sidelined, and the huge palace is under the control of Shen Wei.
Chen Wei looked at Aunt Liu behind the princess and lightly blamed her: "Aunt Liu, the princess is sick and confused, are you also sick and confused? The weather is hot, send the princess back to the courtyard."
Madam Liu was a smart person, she knew that Shen Wei was now the head of the palace. The monthly wages of all the servants in the palace were distributed by Shen Wei.
No matter who you offend, you must not offend the person who manages the money.
Nanny Liu had just been scolded by Madam Tan Tai, so she stepped forward and grabbed the princess' sleeve, patiently persuading her: "Princess, the weather is hot, and you are not feeling well. You should go back to the courtyard--"
Before she finished speaking, the princess angrily shook off Liu Ma's hand and said, "Even you betrayed me?"
Nanny Liu was old, and when the princess threw her around she stumbled and fell to the ground, causing severe pain in her old bones.
Cai Lian, who was beside Chen Wei, saw this and hurried forward to help up Aunt Liu, who looked in pain.
The princess was furious. She took two steps forward, her sharp eyes met with Shen Wei's, and she said word by word: "Shen, I am the wife of the prince, and no matter how proud you are, you are just a concubine."
Shen Wei said calmly: "Send the princess back to the courtyard."
The maid immediately stepped forward and wanted to take the princess back to Kunyuyuan. The princess was greatly stimulated, raised her hand and slapped Shen Wei hard.
Shen Wei could have dodged it, but she had a thought and didn’t dodge.
Snap——
A slap landed on Shen Wei’s right cheek.
Chen Wei was hit so hard that her head felt dizzy and her vision went black. She leaned on Cai Ping and fainted.
Cai Ping screamed in fear and supported the fainted Shen Wei: "Quick, quick, someone come! The master has fainted! Call the palace doctor!"
The princess' eyelids twitched, and she said unhappily, "Why are you pretending? Can you hide this little trick from me?"
The princess had seen many forms of inner-house struggle, and many concubines pretended to be sick or fainted in order to gain the favor of the Prince of Yan.
The maids took the fainted Shen Wei back to the Liuli Pavilion.
The princess was too lazy to ask and slowly returned to Kunyu Courtyard. She had no power over the household, nor could she visit her two sons all the time. She could only burn incense and worship Buddha to pass the boring days.
The air is filled with smoke from incense, a compassionate Buddha statue sits high up, and the strong aroma of incense fills the air.
The princess was burning incense in the shrine when Nanny Liu walked into the room and said, "The prince is back. When he learned that Shen had fainted, he immediately went to the Glazed Pavilion."
The princess said nonchalantly, "Shen can only complain to the prince that I beat her. What is there to be afraid of? The mistress has the right to teach the concubine a lesson."
Madam Liu pursed her lips and reminded softly, "Princess, Shen is pregnant again."
