Chapter 100 Princess Anle
Shen Qingyu's words calmed Gu Huaizhi down. The emperor claimed to be kind and generous, and never treated him badly in terms of food, clothing and expenses, but he could feel that the emperor didn't care.
He was stern to other princes, and all the princes were nervous when they saw him, but he seemed to have no feelings for himself, no expectations, no pity, and even no hatred. Was
it because his mother was sent by the Great Yin? Many times, he would rather he had never come to this world.
However, things did not go as he wished. One day, he wanted the dog emperor to look at him carefully, to make him submit to him, and regret not looking at him straight in the eye.
He had been lurking for so many years, just to kill him with one blow, destroy the foundation of Dashuo for hundreds of years, and let the son of the witch that the dog emperor despised the most trample Dashuo under his feet.
He did not apologize to Shen Qingyu, but just said: "You are right, people like us don't even have the qualifications to admit defeat. The military funds are gone, let's think of other ways. I have gone through so many difficult nights, what am I afraid of now."
Shen Qingyu's heart moved slightly. What she admired was Gu Huaizhi's spirit of never giving up. Just like she was abandoned and sacrificed again and again, she could always make a comeback.
Shen Qingyu lowered her eyes: "The wound on your hand is too serious. You need to replace it with fresh and healthy flesh and blood. Whose flesh and blood will you use this time?"
Gu Huaizhi was no stranger to the terrifying method. Shen Qingyu had already replaced his ribs with stronger ones. Now, he could feel the pain of his own flesh and blood and the new uninvited guest at all times. Shen Qingyu said this was a good sign.
He didn't even hesitate and let Shen Qingyu sacrifice his most capable guard. He wanted to become stronger, and his injuries couldn't wait to heal naturally.
Gu Huaizhi said indifferently: "You make the decision!"
Shen Qingyu's eyes swept across the beautiful maid who was kneeling in front of her and massaging Gu Huaizhi: "Let's choose her. Your Highness's hands are extremely delicate, and you need equally delicate hands."
The maid was shocked and couldn't control the strength of her hands. Gu Huaizhi frowned in pain.
The maid quickly apologized: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I beg Your Highness to have mercy and let me continue to serve you."
Gu Huaizhi stretched out his bruised hand and stroked the maid's cheek with the back of his hand: "Anu, give me your hand, and you can stay with me forever!"
Anu was shocked, and the fear in her eyes was obvious. She knelt in front of Gu Huaizhi and cried: "Your Highness, please spare my life, save Anu, please!"
Gu Huaizhi turned a deaf ear and said to Shen Qingyu with an expressionless face: "Thank you, Miss Shen!"
Shen Qingyu looked proud. She lifted Anu's chin and said: "Why are you crying? It is your blessing to be able to be with His Highness in this way."
After that, she took the maid's hand down without blinking.
The maid was so painful that she fainted.
Shen Qingyu said inconspicuously: "Anu is so beautiful, Your Highness can keep her."
Gu Huaizhi's eyes were sinister, and he said slowly: "Throw her to the zoo, her good things have been given to me!"
Gu Huaizhi was talking about Anu's omnipotent hand, but when these words fell into Shen Qingyu's ears, they had many more meanings.
She didn't like Anu, but it shouldn't be jealous of Anu. She grew up with Gu Huaizhi, knew all of Gu Huaizhi's preferences, and was Gu Huaizhi's first woman.
She wanted to try whether Gu Huaizhi would stand against her for a woman, and she won the bet. Gu Huaizhi was really cruel.
However, she felt that she had done something wrong. From now on, whenever Gu Huaizhi saw her right hand, he would think of this woman. She was always one step too late.
Although she was filled with mixed feelings, Shen Qingyu looked calm. She smiled and said, "The eldest prince has a cruel heart, but I like him!"
The two mentally twisted people once again reached a tacit consensus that they still had a long way to go, and Su Xiaoxiao was their number one enemy.
Su Xiaoxiao woke up from her dream. Two monsters chased her and ate her roast suckling pig.
[It's so scary. How could I have such a scary dream! ] Su Xiaoxiao cried when she thought about the food in her dream entering someone else's mouth.
"Xiaoxiao, mom is here. You had a nightmare, didn't you?" Zhao Wanyue patted Su Xiaoxiao's back distressedly. What terrible things must have happened outside that night to make her feel uneasy even in her dreams.
Su Xiaoxiao cried and sobbed: [Bad guys, ugly bastards, snatched my roast suckling pig. This is the second time I didn't get to eat the delicious food in my dreams. I'm so angry!]
Zhao Wanyue patted her back and couldn't help shivering. She cried so sadly just because she didn't get to eat the delicious food in her dreams. This reason is really fresh and unconventional. But it fits Su Xiaoxiao very well.
Zhao Wanyue didn't know how to comfort her for a while.
Lian Xuan hurriedly reported: "Madam, Eunuch Yang from the palace is here to deliver the imperial edict."
Zhao Wanyue hurriedly tidied her clothes and knelt down with her three children to receive the imperial edict.
"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Zhenguo is dignified, virtuous, beautiful and intelligent, and can be regarded as a model of female virtue, and is specially conferred the title of the first-rank imperial edict. Her daughter Su Xiaoxiao, who is intelligent, lovely and clever, is conferred the title of Princess Anle and enjoys the treatment of a princess. This is my sincere greeting!"
After Zhao Wanyue thanked him for the favor, she didn't react to what was going on. She was not even the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, so how could she deserve the first-rank imperial edict? And Xiaoxiao, being conferred the title of Princess Anle was already a great honor, so how could she enjoy the treatment of a princess.
Zhao Wanyue personally stuffed a heavy purse into Eunuch Yang's pocket and said with great trepidation: "Eunuch Yang, the emperor is so gracious, and I am very worried. Please tell me what is going on."
Eunuch Yang smiled kindly: "Madam Zhao, the emperor is so gracious. This is a good thing. With Princess Anle, your blessings are still to come. Just be at ease and take good care of the princess."
Eunuch Yang was also wondering why the emperor was so fond of this girl from the Su family. If it weren't for the queen's interference, he would have directly made her a princess.
Later, considering Xiaoxiao's parents, he took a step back and made her a princess, but the treatment was in accordance with the princess etiquette, and the rewards were even more dazzling.
Not to mention the usual top-grade head ornaments, jewels and gems, there are also those precious rare books, calligraphy and paintings, all of which are priceless.
The usually generous queen couldn't stand it anymore. The gold mine Minmin was discovered by Xiaojiu and Su Xiaoxiao together, so how come all the credit became Su Xiaoxiao's? It's not that she has to fight for anything, but the emperor didn't even mention Xiaojiu, which made her embarrassed among the concubines in the harem.
Her two sons were happier than anyone else when they heard that Su Xiaoxiao was conferred the title. The three teachers talked about Su Xiaoxiao all the time. Did they think she, the queen, was just a decoration?
