"Why did Lin suddenly come to the palace with her child to see me? Did you receive the letter I sent to Prince Ning's mansion the other day?"
The queen asked directly without first saying anything about giving Lin Jingru and her mother a seat or anything like that.
"To my mother, I have received the letter, and my daughter-in-law has already gone to Prince Kang's mansion and told the Princess Kang about this.
only........"
Lin Jingru bit her lip, looking as if she couldn't speak.
Song Nuan'er stood beside her mother, raised her little face to look at the sitting Imperial Grandmother, then looked at the soft couches and chairs around her, and shouted in her baby voice.
"Grandmother! Nuan'er and mother want to sit down! Grandmother, please give us a seat."
The shrill, babyish voice and the impolite tone and words made the queen frown in displeasure.
"Ms. Lin, you promised me last time that you would educate Song Nuan'er well.
How long has it been like this, and she's still so arrogant, willful, and rude?!
If she wasn't the legitimate daughter of Prince Ning and my granddaughter, based on her personality, she would have died a thousand times in the palace! "
Lin Jingru quickly pulled Song Nuan'er to kneel down, "Mother, calm down! Nuan'er is still young and may not remember much. My daughter-in-law..."
"That's enough! She's already three years old! Three years old is old enough to remember things!
If you, as her stepmother, hadn't brought her up well, how could she be like this!
If you don't want to raise your child well, then you should have said it earlier. You're not the only woman who wants to be Ning Wangfei! "
The Queen's implicit warning made Lin Jingru's heart skip a beat.
"Mother, please calm down! Please give your daughter-in-law another chance! Your daughter-in-law will definitely discipline Nuan'er well!
Nuan'er! Apologize to the Empress Dowager quickly! "
Lin Jingru patted Song Nuan'er gently and urged her.
Song Nuan'er was obviously unhappy, but she still apologized perfunctorily.
The more the queen looked at her granddaughter, the more she disliked her, and she couldn't help but think of the legitimate daughter of Prince Kang.
Although the eldest daughter of Prince Kang's family is only a month old, her little appearance is very adorable.
Even if you urinate on the emperor, it is a very normal thing.
When that child grows up, he will definitely be a well-behaved child.
And this Song Nuan'er, she is so annoying at only three years old. It's easy to tell what she's like when she's three years old. She will definitely not be a worry-free person when she grows up!
The queen was filled with resentment, "Bilan, take Song Nuan'er out first."
If Song Nuan'er stayed here any longer, she might not want to say anything to Princess Ning anymore.
Bilan agreed and was about to pull Song Nuaner.
But Song Nuan'er immediately started yelling.
"No, no! Nuan'er, don't go out! Mother, save Nuan'er!"
Although Lin Jingru felt distressed, she knew that she could no longer do anything that the Queen disliked in front of her.
She could only steel her heart and tell her daughter, "Nuan'er, can you go out and play with Aunt Bilan for a while? Mother will talk to the Royal Grandmother for a while, and then she will take Nuan'er home."
After listening to what her mother said, Song Nuan'er sniffed and finally calmed down. She was finally taken out by Bilan smoothly.
The inner hall fell silent. The queen breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her throbbing temples.
"Let's continue what we were saying just now. But what? What did Princess Kang say?"
"My mother, Princess Kang refused. She said that Concubine Shu's behavior also implicated her daughter.
She doesn't care whether the Imperial Concubine can forgive the Imperial Concubine Shu, she can't forgive her anyway."
After Princess Ning said this, the Queen also remembered.
At the full-month ceremony of Prince Kang's legitimate daughter, the baby was indeed implicated.
No wonder Princess Kang refused so firmly.
"Besides that? Did Princess Kang say anything else?"
“Nothing was said, but from the tone of Princess Kang’s voice, my daughter-in-law knew that this matter was not without a way out.
Perhaps I need one condition from you, Queen Mother."
Lin Jingru said tentatively.
"One of my conditions?" The Queen was confused at first.
"If you, Queen Mother, agree to one condition of Prince Kang's Mansion, then perhaps the Imperial Concubine will be willing to give in.
In exchange for one of your conditions, Queen Mother, I will give Consort Shu a chance to leave the cold palace."
Lin Jingru explained it clearly.
The queen frowned and fell silent.
Lin Jingru pursed her lips, wondering whether the queen would agree.
But no matter whether the queen agrees or not, what happens afterwards has nothing to do with her.
Finally, the queen agreed, wrote her name on a piece of white paper and stamped it with her seal.
“Take this to Prince Kang and have them tell the Imperial Concubine as soon as possible so that she can relent.
However, I also have conditions. Although I have promised to grant a request from Prince Kang's Mansion, I will not agree to every request.
"I will not agree to anything involving Prince Ning, including murder and arson. You must make this clear to Prince Kang."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will explain it clearly."
Lin Jingru carefully took the white paper, which was similar to the emperor's blank imperial edict, and put it in her arms.
"Alright, I'm tired too. You can take the child and leave. Remember what I just said. Also, next time you come to the palace, don't bring the child with you.
I am old and cannot stand the noise of children."
The queen half-closed her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows.
Lin Jingru's eyes turned colder, and she bowed, "Yes, daughter-in-law, take your leave."
Bilan didn't dare to take Song Nuan'er away from Kunning Palace. If this disobedient young master caused any trouble again, she couldn't afford it.
Bilan simply asked Song Nuan'er to wait in the outer hall.
Lin Jingru finally came out, and Bilan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother!"
When Song Nuan'er saw her mother, she immediately rushed over and hugged her mother's legs.
"Sorry for the trouble, Aunt Bilan."
Lin Jingru smiled and nodded.
"Don't be polite, Princess. This is what this old servant should do."
Lin Jingru took her daughter out of the palace and did not return to Prince Ning's Mansion, but went directly to Prince Kang's Mansion.
It happened that Prince Kang was at home at that moment. When he heard from the housekeeper that Princess Ning wanted to see her, he immediately asked his wife to go over and stayed in the room to play with his daughter.
"I didn't expect Princess Ning to be so efficient. She just said so yesterday, and she came again today.
If the Queen agrees, Your Majesty, can we relent then?"
Before leaving, Ye Peizhu specifically discussed this with King Kang.
"Let it go. It's worth it to get the Queen's promise. What's more, it's us who are willing to give in, but it's not certain whether Mother will give in or not."
King Kang was clever for once.
Ye Peizhu gave her husband an appreciative look and said, "Your Highness is right. Let's do it this way."
Song Jiujiu, who was playing with her legs up, listened to her parents' conversation and giggled twice.
[It’s not easy, my dad can also be a smart guy.
My dad should be more careful now! 】
