Chapter 78: The Angry Concubine De
During this week, several princes and princesses started devilish training, but this training method made Bao Taozi's eyes open up even after being pricked on the butt with a knife!
Like Huo Qubing, he took the princes and princesses to an open field and simulated a one-to-one battle scene, recreating his battle in Hexi that year.
Bao Taozi managed to remain calm while watching the princes, their eyes blazing with anger. But when she saw the two princesses, their whips cracking and their voices wailing, "Those who invade our land must die!", she began to fear the Emperor would come after her...
After a simulated battle, several people were panting, but their eyes were more determined.
"In the future, I will never let my people suffer from war!" The eldest prince Zhao Tian clenched his fists. A battle not only made him see the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the country, but also made him see the city full of grief.
......
A week later, several princes and princesses had already chosen the direction they wanted to focus on in their studies.
For the princes, wrapping peaches was expected, but for the eldest princess's choice...
"Sister, please, let me learn!"
Bao Taozi tore off the hem of her skirt, her mouth twitching as if she was not allowed to learn.
"If you want to learn from me and support me, you have to talk to Father and Mother yourself." She talked to me for an hour, just wanting me to be the first one to speak up for her.
"If I go and tell him, I'll definitely get a lecture. Father dotes on you the most, so if you go, he'll definitely agree!"
"You have to fight for your own dreams and your own path. No one else can help you! If you can't even take this first step, how can you expect to become a female general? Go home and play in the mud!"
Bao Taozi walked away, leaving Princess Zhao Zhu standing there in a daze.
After returning to the house, before I could even sit down, Pearl came with a eunuch.
"Your humble servant pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess. The Imperial Concubine invites you!"
The visitor was arrogant and didn't even bend his back to greet others when he walked in.
Bao Taozi snorted coldly, picked up the Jingting Green Snow tea given by the emperor on the table, and sipped the tea carefully.
The man looked unhappy when he saw that Bao Taozi ignored him.
"The slave said, the imperial concubine wants to see you!"
Zhenzhu stepped forward and slapped the eunuch in the face!
"Shut your mouth! You're disturbing the princess's peace! What's the rank of Concubine De? What's the rank of our princess? How dare they let the princess go to her palace? I'm afraid they haven't seen the current situation clearly!"
The inner official's fingers were shaking with anger. After entering the Imperial Concubine's palace, everyone who saw him was respectful and respectful! No one had ever dared to treat him like this!
Before he could tremble and say anything, Xiao Lianzi came forward, drove him away, and threw him outside the palace gate!
Inside the house, Zhenzhu came forward and massaged Bao Taozi's shoulders.
"This imperial concubine is giving herself too much credit. She actually wants Your Highness to go and pay her a visit! It's really unreasonable."
Bao Taozi smiled and said, "She probably hasn't realized the situation has changed. She came this time probably because she heard these teachers are all gods and she can't sit still anymore. But the emperor has been annoyed by her, so he had no choice but to target me. He didn't expect to send such a brainless person."
"I guess the imperial concubine's mouth is crooked with anger now!"
......
In the imperial concubine's palace.
"Useless piece of shit! Can't even call anyone over!"
"My Queen! She's using her rank to pressure me, and I really can't refute her!"
When Concubine De heard the rank, she became even more angry and picked up the teacup and threw it over!
"So you were thrown out like a dead pig for me to laugh at, huh? You're more of a wreck than a helper! Come on! Drag him away! Fifty lashes!"
Under the eunuch's horrified gaze, the maid beside him stepped forward, stuffed his mouth and dragged him to the backyard.
Concubine De glanced at him with disgust and turned around to sit back on the couch.
"That Bao Tao is so shameless! She's just a princess. How can she be more favored than me? No! Change your clothes! I want to see the emperor!"
Behind him, the maidservant became worried...
Concubine De walked towards the Emperor's Qinzheng Hall with a menacing look.
Before Li Liangfu could stop her at the door, the imperial concubine's voice was heard.
"Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me!" The sorrowful voice was coupled with the imperial concubine's coquettish posture.
The emperor frowned and shouted, "Li Liangfu! Stop her for me! Don't trample on the garden Taozi built for me!"
"promise!"
Li Liangfu ordered the eunuch beside him to stop him outside the garden.
"Master Li, I want to see the Emperor! What are you doing?"
Li Liangfu smiled and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, further in is the garden that Princess Zhenguo built specifically for the Emperor. No one is allowed to enter without the Emperor's order."
Concubine De laughed in anger: "What a princess who guards the country! Why is she everywhere! Your Majesty! You have been blinded by a monster! Your Majesty!"
When Li Liangfu heard the imperial concubine say that Bao Taozi was a monster, he stood up straight! He took a few steps forward to the imperial concubine and slapped her several times!
"Liang Fu, keep slapping me until she realizes her mistake!"
Inside the house, the emperor's voice was heard, sentencing Concubine De to her fate.
......
"Your Highness! News just came from the palace that Consort De was stripped of her title and demoted to Shuyi! Just because she called you a monster! She was slapped in the face fifty times!"
Bao Taozi's heart softened. This old emperor really knew how to protect her. It was worth it for her to give him so many good things.
"Did the Emperor say anything else?"
"Your Highness is incredibly clever! The Emperor has issued a directive to all palaces. From now on, all concubines, except the Empress, must kneel and greet the Princess when they see her. They must not use offensive language. If they do, you'll end up like Shuyi!"
Bao Taozi stretched comfortably and said, "Zhenzhu, change my clothes for me and go to the palace to accompany my father."
When they arrived at the Qinzheng Palace in a sedan chair, Li Liangfu was already waiting at the door. Concubine De...oh no, it was Shuyi now, and the third princess Zhao Zhuxia, who had arrived at some point, were kneeling at the palace door together. They both looked at Bao Taozi with resentment in their eyes.
"Greetings, Princess! You are finally here! The Emperor has been thinking about you all day long!"
Bao Taozi was helped down from the sedan chair with a smile. She told Zhenzhu and Hongyu to take the boxes and walked into the house without even glancing at the two people kneeling.
Entering the palace, the emperor smiled and said, "Have you heard the letter?"
"My daughter isn't that bored. This time, I came to give Father some gifts, and then I'll take a few days off to go back and spend time with my grandparents. I've already tried the lessons with the princes and princesses, and everyone has their own answers. After that, they'll report to Father and Empress, and then go to class according to the teacher's schedule. My daughter's yard is small, and they keep making noise all day, which keeps me awake."
The emperor nodded. Indeed, his own children knew very well that they had loud voices.
"You've come at the perfect time to spend time with your family. I've considered it, and although you don't need any support, your grandfather's position is too low, so it's somewhat inappropriate. What do you think?"
Bao Taozi became excited when he heard this.
"My daughter thinks the position of Prime Minister is excellent!"
