Ye Peizhu said this with a calm expression and a calm gaze.
As the eldest son, Prince Ning was the most likely candidate to become the next emperor at that time.
Although Lin Jingru was clearly in love with Prince Kang, she still married Prince Ning and became the Princess of Ning.
If Lin Jingru didn't have the ambition to become the queen, she wouldn't have become the Princess of Ning.
But she was different from Prince Kang. From the very beginning, she only wanted to be Prince Kang's wife, and Prince Kang was not interested in the throne.
Whether it was Prince Ning and Prince Kang, or she and Lin Jingru, they all sought different things, so they were not the same kind of people after all.
Lin Jingru opened her mouth.
Betray Prince Ning for Ye Peizhu?
Indeed, she couldn't do it.
Ye Peizhu really deserves to be her former close friend, she knows her so well.
Lin Jingru showed a self-deprecating look at the corner of her lips, "Peizhu, you really know me well.
I'll take my leave today. I'll go to the palace and discuss this matter with my mother in person. If she wants to rescue her cousin, she should pay a price."
After Lin Jingru finished speaking, she let go of Ye Peizhu's hand and turned away.
Ye Peizhu looked at Lin Jingru, who was wearing thick clothes but still looked thin, and sighed silently.
It seems that the position of Princess Ning has not been so easy to hold in recent years.
She heard that Prince Ning had dozens of concubines in his backyard.
Ye Peizhu shook her head and returned to the dormitory.
"Princess, the young lady has woken up. She must be hungry, she's crying here."
Qiu Yun saw the princess come in and reported with a smile.
Ye Peizhu listened to her daughter's sweet whimpering voice, and the dark clouds in her heart caused by Lin Jingru dissipated a lot.
"Baby, you're hungry. Come, let me feed you. In a few days, your father will bring a ewe here, and you'll be able to drink goat milk."
Ye Peizhu teased her daughter.
[I want more cows! I want milk! Milk is delicious, but I can't finish it all. I can give some to my brothers too.]
Milk can also be used to make cakes, so it has many uses.
Song Jiujiu muttered to herself, holding the food in her little hands and drinking it down with big gulps.
Ye Peizhu raised her eyebrows slightly. Giving milk to those brats?
That's fine, it depends on whether they are willing to drink it.
Song Jiujiu drank for a long time and burped to feel full.
[Mom, I'm full. Was there someone looking for you just now? I don't know who it was, but I'm really curious.]
I'm so bored, mom, please chat with me. Oh, I forgot I can't speak yet, and mom doesn't know what I'm thinking. Ahhhhh! When will I learn to speak?
Song Jiujiu bared her bald little mouth angrily, then puffed out her cheeks and stared with her big eyes. Her expression was very vivid.
Ye Peizhu laughed so hard that she reached out and gently poked Song Jiujiu's bulging cheeks.
Song Jiujiu made a "boo" sound and blew a saliva bubble with her little mouth.
I made myself laugh and laughed.
Ye Peizhu covered her lips and smiled, "The baby is so cute."
[Is Mom happy now? It seems like Mom just went out to meet someone, and she's not in a good mood since she came back.
I don't know who my mother went to meet, but I'm still very curious.]
Ye Peizhu felt very comforted by her daughter's words.
The daughter is indeed a caring little girl. She even noticed that she was in a bad mood.
Ye Peizhu held the little babe in her arms and kissed her soft little face.
"Madam, I heard that Princess Ning is here?"
King Kang's puzzled voice was heard from outside.
King Kang warmed himself by the fire outside until the coldness on his body had almost dissipated, and then he came into the house.
"Yes, Princess Ning is here. Your Majesty, do you know how the Emperor punished Concubine Shu?"
Ye Peizhu talked about this.
Prince Kang was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands with an annoyed look on his face, "Madam, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you this.
I have been so busy these days that I forgot about it for a moment.
My father has banished Concubine Shu to the cold palace. Today, when I entered the palace, I went to see my mother. My mother said that how long Concubine Shu stays in the cold palace depends on her.
If she doesn't give in, Concubine Shu will have to stay in the cold palace for a longer period of time.
My mother also said that the Queen had come to her to plead for mercy, but she refused. My mother was not convinced, so maybe the Queen will ask Prince Ning to plead for us.
It seems that Princess Ning came to you today to plead for mercy."
Ye Peizhu nodded, "Yes, she came here to plead for mercy, but I refused.
Regardless of whether my mother can forgive Concubine Shu, I cannot forgive her anyway.
What happened that day made our Jiuer sick for several days.
If I don't let Concubine Shu endure more hardship in the cold palace, I will never be able to relieve my anger!"
Prince Kang agreed, "That's right! Madam, you did a good job in refusing! Mother also told us to refuse."
As King Kang spoke, he walked over and took the sweet and soft little daughter from his wife's arms.
"Baby, did you miss daddy today?"
Prince Kang smiled and caressed his daughter's cheek.
[Ouch! Daddy, don't get close to my face! Daddy has a beard! It pricks me!]
Song Jiujiu exclaimed in her heart, and pushed her father's big face hard with her two little hands.
Ye Peizhu smiled and stretched out her hand to push King Kang's face away, "Your Highness, the stubble on your face has come out. Look, Jiu'er has been pricked so hard that her little hand keeps pushing you, and her little face is puffed up with anger."
Prince Kang felt embarrassed. Looking at his daughter's puffy little face, he felt like poking it.
"Don't be angry, baby. Wait until daddy shaves his beard before I touch your face.
Daddy knows that the baby misses him, my daughter is so considerate! "
Song Jiujiu pouted, "Hmph, not really, just so-so."
Although the little kid thought so in his heart, his two little hands still honestly rubbed his father's shoulders.
This little girl's duplicity made her father love her even more.
"By the way, my lord, although I rejected Princess Ning's plea for Concubine Shu, Princess Ning will not give up.
She said she would go and talk to the Queen about this matter and ask her to agree to one condition for our Prince Kang's Mansion."
Ye Peizhu thought of this and brought it up again.
Upon hearing this, Prince Kang raised an eyebrow, "Are you using a condition to get Mother to give in?"
"Yes, everyone in and outside the palace knows that the Queen dotes on her cousin, Concubine Shu. Over the years, it was the Queen who cleaned up Concubine Shu's mess.
I think the Queen will agree to this. Using one condition in exchange for the opportunity for her cousin, the Concubine Shu, to be released from the cold palace is worth it for us. What do you think, Your Highness?
"My wife is the one who understands me best, and as a husband, I feel it's worth it. After all, it's more like the promise of Prince Ning than the promise of the Queen.
My husband, the eldest brother, has been unhappy with us for a long time.
Over the years, I have made it clear that I have no interest in the throne and power.
But in the eyes of the eldest brother, it is not obvious at all."
