This news is about Princess Jia Hui. Ever since Shu Yu learned from Xiao Ruojun that Xiang Weinan would deal with the Grand Princess, she has stopped paying attention to them.
I didn't expect the results to come out so quickly, after only half a month?
The news circulating outside was vague and ambiguous, seemingly true yet false, and Shu Yu couldn't hear it clearly.
To satisfy her burning thirst for gossip, Shu Yu specifically sought out Xiao Ruojun to share her thoughts.
Xiao Ruojun did indeed know more, but there were many details she was unaware of. She only knew that just a few days ago, the Emperor had suddenly reprimanded the Grand Princess and stripped Princess Jia Hui of her title of Princess.
Even the title of princess has been stripped away, which clearly indicates a very serious situation.
Then, just the day before yesterday, the Grand Princess married Jia Hui to a fourth-rank official who had been sent to a post outside the capital, making him his second wife.
In order not to delay the official's posting to another region, they simply signed the marriage contract and did not even hold a banquet before letting Princess Jia Hui leave the capital with the official.
This move shocked everyone. This wasn't following the officials to their posts; it was clearly a hasty retreat.
What exactly did Princess Jia Hui do to leave the capital in such a hurry and become the second wife of a clearly demoted official in his thirties? Given her status, no one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
Some people wanted to go to the Grand Princess to find out information, but the Grand Princess claimed to be ill and refused to see anyone.
Unable to find out anything from here, some people thought of asking the Empress.
The Empress was nowhere to be seen; she was practically vomiting. The Emperor reprimanded not only the Grand Princess, but she was also implicated.
Although she had not committed any crimes, the Grand Princess and Princess Jia Hui were incredibly audacious, seizing fertile land, disregarding human life, and accepting bribes. Each and every one of their crimes was serious.
Why did they dare to do this? Wasn't it because they were taking advantage of the Empress's close relationship with them?
The Empress was extremely frustrated. She didn't want to get close to the Grand Princess, but the princess had saved her life, and she couldn't be an ungrateful person.
She finally understood why her aunt, the Grand Princess, had not been valued by the late emperor and why this royal princess had been marginalized and almost forgotten.
The eldest princess's personality was truly indescribable. When she needed something from the empress, she would flatter her so enthusiastically that the empress would feel embarrassed.
Even when there's nothing else to do, he still tries to get the Empress's attention. And not only that, he has to act like an elder, lecturing the Empress and occasionally saying things like, "Aunt's words may be unpleasant to hear, but they are truly for the Empress's good."
Although she tried her best to control her tone, her elder-like demeanor still made people feel uncomfortable.
If it were anyone else, the Empress would have simply told them to get out.
But the Grand Princess had taken a sword for her, and she wasn't heartless, nor did she want to be criticized, so she tolerated this aunt many times.
Unexpectedly, the other party was completely unaware and even intensified their actions, taking advantage of their close relationship to amass wealth outside, behaving in a very disgraceful manner.
Although the emperor said a few words to her this time, she was relieved to be rid of the Grand Princess's overtures.
Everyone was reluctant to talk about the Grand Princess and Princess Jia Hui, and only a few people knew the inside story.
But the more they try to cover it up, the more outrageous the outside speculation becomes.
Fortunately, the next day was the day the results of the imperial examination were announced, and everyone's attention was diverted.
