Princess Zhenbei, who had been married to the King of Zhenbei for many years and had spent a lot of time studying her husband, saw the King of Zhenbei's hesitation and entanglement at a glance.
She wiped the corners of her eyes and continued with a crying voice:
"Zizhen is also my flesh and blood. If there were any other way, why would I want her to come to Beijing? But isn't there any other way? I have to choose one of them."
"Zizhen has been competitive since he was in his mother's womb, unlike Zicheng, who is so much smaller than Zizhen even though they were twins."
"If she hadn't eaten herself so fat, why would Zicheng be as thin as a kitten when he was born? And why would I have injured my body and lost the possibility of giving birth to another child?"
King Zhenbei pinched his brows and asked, "Why do you say that again..."
From a rational point of view, King Zhenbei felt that what could a child who hadn't even come out of her mother's womb understand?
Even if Yu Zizhen did absorb more nutrients and was indeed heavier and bigger than Yu Zi at birth, the King of Zhenbei felt that his princess should not look down on Yu Zizhen for this reason.
After all, she was still ignorant at that time, and most importantly, Yu Zicheng was just thinner than Yu Zizhen, and his health was not affected by her.
Isn't it common for twins to be born in the same pregnancy, one bigger than the other?
As for the fact that Princess Zhenbei's body was damaged and it was difficult for her to conceive again, according to the King of Zhenbei, Princess Zhenbei should actually take some responsibility for this.
When Princess Zhenbei was pregnant with twins, the burden on her body was heavier than that of an ordinary pregnant woman. She couldn't help but want to eat, drink and nourish herself more.
The court doctor had reminded her more than once to eat less to prevent the fetus from becoming too large, but the princess still couldn't control her mouth.
The Prince of Zhenbei had explained these principles to his princess in detail when he first discovered that she treated Yu Zizhen differently.
However, Princess Zhenbei simply wouldn't listen. Not only that, she even used the sobbing method to make Prince Zhenbei cry until he completely lost his temper.
With the fear of trouble in avoiding unnecessary family conflicts, the King of Zhenbei did not dare to argue with the princess on this issue.
After the couple discussed the feasibility and the pros and cons, the King of Zhenbei agreed to let Yu Zizhen go to Beijing as a hostage instead of Yu Zicheng.
Yu Zizhen never raised any objection to her parents' arrangement. No, to be more precise, neither the King of Zhenbei nor his wife thought of asking for her opinion.
Unlike her who accepted her fate submissively, Mother Liu in her yard took a risk and chose to struggle after learning the bad news.
In the original book, Yu Zizhen did not realize that her illness was man-made. Her young age, lack of experience, and trust in the people around her made her subconsciously ignore the doubts.
Of course, even so, she still did not bring Mother Liu and Cuiping into the capital.
Perhaps because she was young, Mother Liu kept nagging her before and after she fell ill, explicitly and implicitly asking her to fight for a chance to stay.
Yu Zizhen rejected Liu Mama's "kind" proposal, but considerately kept Liu Mama and Cuiping, who were obviously unwilling to go to Beijing, in the Zhenbei Palace.
The child had simple thoughts. She had not considered that after losing the identity of "the trusted servant of the eldest daughter of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion", Mother Liu and Cuiping would also lose their current glorious life.
The little girl put herself in their shoes and thought that since Liu Mama and Cuiping felt that separation from her family was such a terrible thing, they must also be unwilling to leave their hometown and be forced to separate from their family.
So, she suggested to the princess that she would bring only Cuiyu to the capital with her, along with Mama Liu, Cuiping and Cuiyu.
In this plot, Yu Zizhen does not intend to change the part about Mother Liu and Cuiping.
Since Mother Liu and Cuiping did such a thing, don't blame her for giving them a light punishment.
It just so happened that she had been coveting the young master's money box and private treasury for a long time. After driving away Mother Liu and Cuiping, she could naturally take over the property left by the young master, which made her very happy.
She put on her clothes, and then asked Cuiyu to call Mother Liu and her daughter, who had been ignored by her for several days, to the small flower hall where she usually received guests.
Sitting down at the main seat, Yu Zizhen extended his hands to Mama Liu and Cuiping, who appeared pitiful but actually had resentment in their eyes. "Hand over the key to my private vault, account book, and the key to my money box."
Mother Liu's heart skipped a beat. Although she didn't dare to take the valuables, she often teamed up with her daughter to secretly bring home the copper coins, silver coins, silver peanuts, gold beans, small pieces of cloth, food and medicinal herbs in Yu Zizhen's house.
Now Yu Zizhen suddenly asked to take back the keys to her private vault and cash box, and Mother Liu, feeling guilty, couldn't help but think too much.
She wanted to delay giving it to him for the time being to buy some time to clean up her own mess, but Yu Zizhen didn't have the patience to listen to her whining.
She stared at Mama Liu, whose eyes were rolling around, with a half-smile on her face. "Don't waste time. You know, the speed at which you hand over the things will affect what I'm going to say to the princess later."
Mother Liu suddenly didn't dare to have any ulterior motives. After all, it was her daughter Cuiping who was on duty on the night Yu Zizhen fell ill.
Even if Yu Zizhen had no evidence that they deliberately harmed her, her daughter could not escape the charge of "failure to serve properly".
In addition, the mother and daughter had repeatedly urged Yu Zizhen not to go to Beijing.
If Yu Zizhen didn't go to the capital, who would go? Without a doubt, it would be Yu Zicheng, the princess's true love and the true eldest son of the Zhenbei King.
Before, she was fearless, relying on Yu Zizhen's lenient treatment. Now, if she and her daughter angered Yu Zizhen, and Yu Zizhen told the princess about these things...
The princess is not Yu Zizhen. If she knew that they had such thoughts, she would definitely not let them off easily even without evidence.
After quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Mother Liu finally chose not to continue to anger Yu Zizhen at this critical juncture.
Not only did she and Cuiping readily hand over the keys and account books, but she also apologized to Yu Zizhen for having angered her before in an attitude that seemed sincere but actually evasive.
Yu Zizhen took the keys and account books, waved his hand and drove away Liu Mama and Cuiping, mother and daughter.
She asked Cuiyu to put the account book in her room, and then called the little girl Xinghua who was playing with snowballs in the yard, and asked her to stay in her room and stop others from entering without permission, so as to prevent them from finding the large plan book she had hidden.
System: "Master, you're worrying too much. With your handwriting, even if someone could read it, they wouldn't be able to figure out what you wrote."
Yu Zizhen: ...He becomes listless when talking about serious matters, but becomes lively and energetic when making fun of her. It turns out that a dog system is a dog system.
