80 Grandma Gao came to apologize (seeking votes~)
Fu Xuanyu frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Jiang Yun, as if asking for her opinion.
Jiang Yun smiled gently, with curiosity and a hint of imperceptible amusement in her eyes, and said softly: "Since you are here, you might as well listen to what she has to say."
So the two of them ordered the palace maid to invite Grandma Gao in.
After a while, Nanny Gao walked into the side hall with small steps and a respectful look on her face, and bowed and said, "Hello, Prince Chong'an, Hello, Princess Chong'an. I am here on the orders of the Queen to apologize to the prince and princess, and I have prepared a new gift for the princess."
Jiang Yun tilted her head slightly, her eyes showing some concern: "Ah? Apologize? Why does the Queen want to apologize? Is it because of that fake headpiece just now?"
When Grandma Gao heard this, a trace of disgust appeared in her eyes, but she said respectfully, "Today's incident was all due to my failure to discipline you strictly, which led to such a mistake and caused the princess to suffer injustice. Your Majesty is very upset, so she specially ordered me to come here to apologize and give you a better headgear. I hope the princess will accept it and forget all the unpleasant things that happened today."
As she spoke, the maid behind Grandma Gao stepped forward and respectfully presented a carved wooden box.
Grandma Gao opened the box and found a headpiece made of purple jade and inlaid with rubies inside.
This headpiece is carved from a whole piece of purple jade. The purple jade is as gentle as the orchid in the night, exuding a faint, mysterious and noble breath. The patterns carved on it are intricate and solemn, and matched with dazzling rubies, it is like stars falling into the deep night sky. The contrast is sharp, and it complements each other, with an incomparable gorgeous beauty.
It is obvious that the value of this headdress is many times higher than the previous one.
Jiang Yun nodded slightly, took the wooden box in person, and said, "You are too polite, Madam. What happened today was just a misunderstanding. We don't take it to heart. Please tell the Queen not to worry about it."
Grandma Gao saw with her own eyes that the box was held tightly in Jiang Yun's arms. A trace of reluctance flashed across her eyes. She said, "Princess, you are so generous. I will convey your gratitude to you. In addition, you also hope that the prince and princess can come to Jingren Palace often when they are free to enjoy the happiness of family life together."
Jiang Yun smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Of course, I will go with the prince to visit the queen some other day."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gao felt relieved and quickly bowed and left, leaving in a hurry with her maid.
After Nanny Gao disappeared outside the door, Fu Xuanyu said softly, "Ayun, you don't have to be so polite to her people. The way she treated you today was definitely not unintentional."
Jiang Yun nodded, with a playful smile on her lips: "Of course, she did this just to show it to the emperor, but... who doesn't?"
Fu Xuanyu looked deep in his eyes and said, "No matter what her purpose is, we must be careful and not take it lightly."
Jiang Yun chuckled, with a confident light in her eyes: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
As soon as the two finished their whispered conversation, the eunuch's announcement came from outside.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The two looked at each other, Jiang Yun stood up and walked behind Fu Xuanyu, pushing his wheelchair slowly to the door of the side hall.
Fu Ming happened to approach outside.
The two men saluted Fu Ming respectfully.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father. Long live your Highness."
"The daughter-in-law pays homage to the father. Long live the father."
Fu Ming waved his hand and said, "Stand up, go back and sit down. You must be hungry after wasting so much time!"
Jiang Yun pushed Fu Xuanyu and followed Fu Ming, walking slowly back until they sat down at the table they had just sat at.
Fu Xuanyu then said, "My son and the princess have had breakfast in the mansion before coming here, so we are not hungry yet."
Jiang Yun followed suit.
The more Fu Ming looked at his well-behaved daughter-in-law, the more he liked her.
It was not until he saw the wooden box next to Jiang Yun that the smile on his face faded. He looked at the wooden box and said calmly, "Is this a new one from the Queen?"
Jiang Yun followed his gaze to the wooden box beside him, nodded and said, "In reply to your father's words, this is the purple jade and ruby headpiece that the queen specially sent to compensate her daughter-in-law."
Fu Ming nodded and said, "Well, your mother was deceived by someone, so you suffered this injustice. I will prepare some more precious tonics for you later and take them back to the mansion."
Jiang Yun was secretly delighted, and then thought that the Nanny Chen they brought with them should also be able to play a role.
Sure enough, just as she thought of this, a little eunuch hurried in.
He first bowed to everyone one by one, and then looked at Prince Chong'an and his wife with trepidation, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Fu Ming, who was sitting in the first seat, saw his expression and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, the young eunuch knelt on the ground in a panic and said in a frightened manner, "The people brought by the prince and princess are dying. Please give us instructions so that we can deal with them."
Fu Ming's frown deepened.
"Who is dying?"
When Fu Xuanyu saw this scene, he thought of the words that Jiang Yun had just whispered in Jinzhong's ear when she stopped him.
A smile flashed in his eyes. His princess was really vindictive!
Jiang Yun pretended to be surprised, looked at the eunuch and said in shock: "No? Didn't I ask you to hand him over to the Queen for disposal?"
As soon as Fu Ming heard the word Queen, he knew that this might be related to Si Wan again.
His face darkened, and he looked at Fu Xuanyu and asked, "Xiaoyu, what is going on?"
Fu Xuanyu lowered his eyes, looking lonely, and told the story of Nanny Chen stealing Jiang Yun's jewelry last night. There was not a single word in his words that said Nanny Chen was arrogant, but between the lines, he was saying that Nanny Chen relied on the Empress's backing and how she didn't take the people in Chong'an Palace seriously...
"How dare you!!!" Fu Ming slammed the table and said angrily, "Slaves who bully their masters should be beaten to death!"
Fu Xuanyu was silent for a while before he spoke: "After all, Nanny Chen is the Queen's person. I think it's better to let you deal with it personally."
Jiang Yun also spoke up at the right time to make the final move.
"I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but Nanny Chen took my mother's belongings, so I can't just pretend nothing happened."
Fu Xuanyu held Jiang Yun's hand distressedly, looked at Fu Ming and continued, "Although I am ill now, I don't want my princess to be bullied by a servant, so I punished her with a stick."
After he finished speaking, he coughed lightly a few times.
These coughing sounds made Fu Ming feel even more distressed.
He looked at Fu Xuanyu with worry, but Fu Xuanyu forced a smile to Fu Ming, "Father, I'm fine. Now that I know it wasn't Mother's deliberate act, I have no regrets."
