Chapter 452 The Sixth Prince Protecting His Sister?
Thinking back to this time in her past life, Li Junping should have been at her house doing her laundry and cooking for her, while that little bitch Li Baozhu should have been pouring her foot bath water every day!
But what about now?
Zhao Yuniang inexplicably recalled what had happened earlier that day, and in a daze, she gritted her teeth in anger: "You damned woman, I was about to send that little slut to the nunnery! How come she's back now!"
Seeing this, the young eunuch beside her immediately brought over a cup of tea: "Miss, please don't worry so much. This family won't have a good ending. Have you forgotten? Eunuch Wang has already returned to the capital. When he does, you must tell the Sixth Prince everything that happened in this desolate region, as well as the grievances you and the young noblewoman suffered. The Sixth Prince will definitely stand up for you. Whether they live or die is just a matter of the Sixth Prince's word."
"Sixth Prince?" Zhao Yuniang looked over. "Will the Sixth Prince help us?"
"Of course. His Highness the Sixth Prince is a man of excellent character. He is always very sentimental, especially towards his younger sister, the Fifth Princess, whom he takes great care of. When someone offended the princess when they were young, His Highness the Sixth Prince dragged that person out and beat him to death. In that case, our little noble lady is also His Highness the Sixth Prince's sister, so there's no reason for him not to protect you."
Zhao Yuniang's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Seeing her like this, the little eunuch continued with a smile, "Besides, you are going to pay homage to the Empress Dowager now. No matter what, the little noble lady is still a relative of the Empress Dowager. Do you think the Empress Dowager would side with someone else?"
The relationship between the young noblewoman and the Empress Dowager was a level below that of a princess.
Why should you be afraid of those people, young lady? Just think things through carefully.
Zhao Yuniang listened and calmed down. She then glanced at the young eunuch and said, "You know how to talk. In that case, help me think of a way to ensure that these people can never leave the Great Wilderness."
“Isn’t their family a group of convicts? By all accounts, they shouldn’t be able to leave. In the Great Wilderness, the government doesn’t care if people of convict status are killed. If they could leave, wouldn’t that be perfect? No matter what you think, young lady, you don’t need to worry.”
Zhao Yuniang's pupils flickered slightly: "Xiao Xiazi, you really are a clever one. These are all rewards for you. If you serve well in the future, you'll be rewarded handsomely."
As he said this, he grabbed about twenty copper coins and gave them to him.
Xiaxiazi almost lost her composure.
Twenty coins?
Having served in the palace since childhood, this was, to be honest, the first time he had ever received such a reward.
Not to mention silver melon seeds, he has received gold melon seeds before.
These twenty coins aren't even worth as much as the toilet paper he uses to wipe his butt, and yet he still claims he deserves a share.
At this moment, looking up at Zhao Yuniang who looked like she had given him several hundred taels of silver, he wondered for a moment if he had chosen a master who was not in his mind, and whether he really had a chance to get ahead.
Looking at Xia Zi, who seemed utterly delighted, Zhao Yuniang felt a renewed sense of disdain. "He really is a nobody, utterly worthless." she thought. "It seems the people in the capital aren't so wealthy after all; only twenty-odd copper coins."
Although she still felt a little heartbroken, upon reflection, she realized it was all worth it.
Xiazi is right. She had originally thought that Li Baozhu absolutely could not go to the capital, for fear that someone would see her and cause trouble. But after thinking about his words, she was no longer in a hurry.
Once I've won over the Empress Dowager's favor a little, what big problem could there be in dealing with a mere little girl?
If all else fails, there's always the Sixth Prince.
From now on, the Sixth Prince's full-brother sister will be either that Fifth Princess or his own daughter!
"Shouldn't Eunuch Wang be arriving in the capital soon?"
"Of course." Xia Zi's expression was strange, but she still said in a good-natured tone, "What you say is right, it should be in the next two days. I suppose the things that the little noble lady gave to the Sixth Prince will soon reach His Highness's hands."
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Yuniang rubbed her hands together, then glanced at Zhao Niuniu beside her: "Niuniu, remember, you must be close to your brother, the Sixth Prince, understand? I've already prepared a gift for you and sent it over. You must give him another gift yourself to show your closeness."
Zhao Niu Niu's eyes widened: "Brother? What does he like? Should I give him my candy?"
Zhao Yuniang frowned: "What kind of candy is this? It's so undignified! Let me tell you, your brother is the most precious person in the world, and the gifts you give him must be befit his status."
Hearing this, Zhao Niu Niu became even more confused. She wiped her nose and asked in bewilderment, "Then what should I give? What is appropriate for my status? How about you make me two ice sleds like Li Baozhu's? I'll give one to my brother and keep one for myself."
Seeing Zhao Niu Niu drooling, Zhao Yun Niang couldn't help but frown: "So ugly. How can you be so dull? Remember this, you're not allowed to go out in the sun anymore. You'd better make yourself a little fairer so your brother will like you! Also, don't speak so rudely, it's awful."
As they were speaking, a loud slap was heard as Zhao Yuniang slapped Zhao Niuniu's hand. She roared, "Don't you dare put your hand in your mouth again! If you do that again, I'll beat you to death!"
Zhao Yuniang disdainfully took a handkerchief and wiped her face.
Zhao Niu Niu blinked twice, and the next second, already feeling unwell, she burst into a wail.
"Grandpa and Grandma! Help! My aunt hit me! Waaaaaah!"
Zhao Yuniang quickly covered her mouth: "Little darling! Don't cry, don't cry!"
This child was far less attractive than that little slut Li Baozhu, and her crying only made Zhao Yuniang more irritable. But she also knew that Li Baozhu was the family's precious darling, so she really didn't dare to offend her. Otherwise, her mother would have skinned her alive!
However, Zhao Niu Niu always cried more and more when coaxed, and even started rolling around crying, which was even more unbearable to see.
Zhao Yuniang took a deep breath and told herself that Niu Niu would have a better life in the future, staying in that rich and beautiful place all day long, and one day she would be much fairer and prettier than Li Baozhu.
She herself will definitely become more and more beautiful, even more beautiful than Jiang Pangya!
...
Kyoto Imperial City.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, another light snow fell. Xuan Ting squatted by the low wall of the East Palace, carefully examining the red plum tree.
Behind him, the eunuchs were busy at work.
Boxes of things were moved into the East Palace.
We've been moving all day and we're still not done.
An Dehai took a cloak and came over, draping it over Xuan Ting's shoulders: "Your Highness, it's cold outside, why don't you go back to your palace? The palace here in the East Palace has been prepared for today."
An Dehai's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, but when he saw Xuan Ting still staring at the red plum blossoms in the corner of the wall, he was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, what's wrong? Is there something you don't like about the arrangement?"
Now that Your Highness has officially entered the Eastern Palace, although the imperial decree appointing you as Crown Prince has not yet been issued, its meaning is self-evident. Why then does Your Highness appear so devoid of joy?
“An Dehai, what do you think Aunt Nuan and the others are doing now?” Xuan Ting suddenly asked. “They’ve moved to a new, beautiful house. Baozhu said she drank with Aunt Nuan when they moved.”
