But he couldn't force it.
Shangguan Dan was just thinking of an idea when his third aunt, Princess Yangping, walked in.
Princess Yangping Zhao Fei was the youngest daughter of Prince Xiang and was quite famous for her talent in the capital.
Several years ago, he went to the northwest to provide disaster relief and was suddenly hit by a rainstorm that occurred rarely in a century. He was swept away by the flood and narrowly escaped death.
When I woke up, I had a sudden eye disease and couldn't see anything.
It was Zhao Fei who saved him and took care of the girl regardless of her reputation.
Later, when he recovered from his illness, the two of them revealed their identities. It turned out that she was the youngest daughter of Prince Xiang, who had been raised in her maternal home because of her sickness since childhood.
In gratitude for saving his life, the old Duke asked the emperor to grant Zhao Fei the title of Princess Yangping and to arrange a marriage for them.
After being married for many years, he and Zhao Fei are not like his elder brother and his wife, who are just a fake couple on the surface. They are true lovers with deep affection!
The couple are of one mind and can talk about anything.
Not to mention such trivial matters as Shangguan Qingyue!
Shangguan Dan told Princess Yangping about the strange things that happened to Shangguan Qingyue. Princess Yangping did not seem surprised at all, but instead gave him some clear and logical advice.
Shangguan Dan looked at his wife's elegant and beautiful profile, with undisguised love in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Sanlang. If you want to get rid of that little kid without anyone noticing, and without getting your elder brother and Princess Chengqian to make trouble, there are ways."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
"That little girl is mute and very young. If we poison her secretly and make her stupid..." Princess Yangping's eyes sparkled.
"Everyone will just think she's a fool, and she won't be able to say anything more."
"Great idea, great idea!"
Shangguan Dan made the final decision and that was it.
The two then discussed the details.
The next morning, Shangguan Dan found the powder that could cause dementia and gave it to Princess Yangping.
Princess Yangping sprinkled the medicinal powder on the yam cake, and then ordered Qingzhu to deliver the yam cake to Qingyu Pavilion, and told him to make sure to watch the young lady take it with her own eyes.
After seeing Qingzhu off, Princess Yangping took the gastrointestinal conditioning medicine prescribed by the imperial physician.
She has had dry and hard stools these days. The imperial physician said that she has an imbalance of her five internal organs and needs to take medicine to regulate her stomach and intestines three times a day, and drink cold tea after meals.
As soon as she finished drinking the medicine, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She quickly called the maid to bring a toilet, but as soon as she sat on it, the feeling disappeared.
Instead, my lower abdomen became more bloated.
Princess Yangping frowned and sat up, just as Qingzhu, who had just delivered the yam cake, came back.
Princess Yangping was startled. "See if she ate it?"
Qingzhu shook her head and said, "Madam, Hongxing, the young lady's friend, said that she is allergic to yam cake and cannot take it!"
Princess Yangping's pupils dilated slightly.
Qingzhu continued, "Lutao said that if you're interested, you could make some shrimp cakes and send them over. The young lady loves them."
Princess Yangping frowned and said after a while, "If that's the case, I'll make some and you can send it over."
Princess Yangping suppressed her displeasure and went to the small kitchen to make a plate of shrimp crisps herself. Shrimp crisps are not easy to make. It takes a long time to make the pure shrimp powder. It was already noon when Princess Yangping finished.
She sprinkled another bag of powder on it while no one was paying attention.
Shangguan Dan gave her five packs, which she still had more than enough for.
Princess Yangping then instructed Qingzhu, "It's time for lunch. Send it over so Xiaoyue can have it with lunch!"
Qingzhu thought to herself that Princess Yangping had always disliked Miss Qingyue, so why did she change her mind this time? But these matters were not something a maid like her could have a say in, so she just had to do her job well.
Qingzhu put the shrimp cakes into the food box and walked towards Qingyu Pavilion with the food box.
Seeing Qingzhu leave, Princess Yangping finally breathed a sigh of relief. The little maid beside her reminded her when the meal would be served, but Princess Yangping waved her hands irritably. How could she be in the mood to eat now?
So instead of serving the meal, a toilet was brought instead.
Princess Yangping sat on it, drinking herbal tea.
As a result, after half a cup of tea, Qingzhu came back again. This time, there was not only her, but also a maid beside her, who seemed to be Hongxing from Qingyu Pavilion.
Princess Yangping lifted her skirt and stood up, her face pale.
When Hong Xing saw Princess Yangping come out, she quickly knelt down and admitted her fault, "Madam, please forgive me!"
Princess Yangping was puzzled, "What crime have you committed?"
Hong Xing was so frightened that her voice trembled. "The shrimp cakes that the Third Madam sent were accidentally dropped by me. I'm here to apologize!"
"What! He fell??!"
Princess Yangping stood up suddenly and glared at Hong Xing.
Upon hearing this, Hong Xing pressed her forehead against the ground to apologize.
"You! You!!" Princess Yangping was furious. She pointed at Hong Xing for a long time and couldn't say a word.
It is impossible to punish someone with a fine.
How big a sin is it to drop a plate of shrimp cakes?
If she punished her like this, wouldn't it seem that she was narrow-minded and harsh towards servants? Moreover, Hong Xing was Princess Chengqian's servant.
But if there is no punishment, it would be too infuriating.
How much effort did she put in?
Just let her fall like this? ?
Princess Yangping took great pains to clear the air stuck in her chest. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Get up. It's just a small matter. I'll make it and give it to Xiaoyue'er."
Hong Xing was overjoyed when she heard this. She kowtowed twice and said, "My princess is so kind. My little girl has been having some indigestion lately. It would be wonderful if she could have a plate of cool, sweet and sour hawthorn cake after dinner..."
Princess Yangping: "..."
Princess Yangping smiled wryly, "Just go back and wait. I'll have Qingzhu deliver it when it's done."
Hong Xing: "Thank you, Princess! I'll take my leave!"
See Hong Xing leave.
