Seeing the embarrassed look on Fifth Lady's face after being scolded by Concubine Yi, Bao'er and Qingchuan didn't care. After all, no one would plead for her after being scolded by Concubine Yi.
Then Concubine Yi looked at Bao'er and Qingchuan and said soothingly, "You two ignore her. If she bullies you, Bao'er, tell me and I will deal with them."
Seeing her mother-in-law often looking at her coldly and scolding her from time to time, and then seeing her mother-in-law being kind and smiling to the two daughters of sixth-rank officials.
The Fifth Lady was even more indignant. She had forgotten how kind Concubine Yi was to her when the Emperor had just arranged her marriage.
Then she came to pay her respects on the second day after the wedding. Concubine Yi gave her a set of jewelry that she had brought as a dowry. The Fifth Lady looked disdainful at that time, and every time Concubine Yi rewarded her with something to express her appreciation for her, he was neither happy nor sad. Concubine Yi must have been unhappy.
And since then, he often came to Concubine Yi to speak ill of the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince. Expecting Concubine Yi to teach her own son a lesson, Concubine Yi knew what kind of person she was.
After two years of marriage, most people in the palace knew that the Fifth Lady was not smart, jealous, intolerant, and petty.
Compared to the First Lady's dignified and graceful demeanor, the Crown Princess's good looks and good character, and the Third Lady's excellent housekeeping skills, the Fourth Lady was well-educated and well-mannered.
The Fifth Lady is a unique one among all the wives of the princes. She is not good at managing the household and loves to compete with the concubines for favors. She is jealous and petty, which are all synonymous with the Fifth Lady.
However, royal families generally cannot divorce their wives, so Xiaowu had to suffer. It was because his father was afraid of the Mongolian forces behind Xiaowu that he chose such a wife for his son.
Baoer and Qingchuan obviously knew what kind of person the Fifth Lady was and could not get along with her. Besides, she was the royal daughter-in-law, and they two sisters were nothing now, but they would have the chance to return her in the future.
So the two sisters could only say it was okay. They couldn't say anything more. After all, Concubine Yi had already warned the Fifth Lady, and saying anything more would be too unreasonable.
Then, several people watched Concubine Yi and the Fifth Prince talking to each other, and the atmosphere became weird for a moment.
Baoer and Qingchuan looked at the Fifth Lady in silence as she threw breakfast at them.
Until Yinzhen hurried in, "Mother, Fifth Brother, Fifth Sister-in-law"
After calling a few people, Yinzhen turned his attention to Baoer. Seeing that Baoer's eyes were focused on him, he gave Baoer a charming smile in a funny way.
This made Bao'er laugh out loud, and Yin'er was happy to see Bao'er laughing. As soon as he came in, he found that Bao'er was a little unhappy, and when he saw the look that his fifth sister-in-law gave Bao'er, he knew what was going on.
Then Yinzhen said with a happy face, "Mother, the emperor wants to see Baoer and Qingchuan. I will take them there first."
When Concubine Yi heard Xiaojiu's tone, she knew it was a good thing and said readily, "Then go. You must protect Baoer and Qingchuan well. Mother still likes the two girls very much."
After Concubine Yi finished speaking, Yinzhen took Baoer and Qingchuan to the Qianqing Palace where the emperor was.
After leaving the Yikun Palace, Yinzhen looked at Baoer cautiously and asked, "Baoer, did your fifth sister-in-law offend you again? I will avenge you."
Bao Er smiled and said indifferently, "She just said some gossip, I didn't care, just regarded it as a dog bite."
When Yinzhen heard this, he knew it was his fifth sister-in-law again. He suppressed his anger and said, "That won't do. I said I won't let you suffer any injustice. Just wait for me to avenge you." As he said that, his eyes were cold for a moment.
Then Yinzhen asked Baoer, "If the Emperor grants us marriage today, would you be willing?"
Baoer was stunned. "So fast, I..." Baoer wanted to say that he was not ready yet.
Yinzhen said excitedly, "How can it be fast? It's not fast at all. I even think it's a bit slow."
Seeing them discussing this, Qingchuan deliberately covered his ears to show that he was not eavesdropping, but the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed his good mood.
Yinzhen froze, looking depressed. "Bao'er, are you dissatisfied with me in any way? Tell me and I will change."
"I've had you in my heart since the first time I saw you, and I want to marry you as soon as possible." After saying this, he looked at Baoer pitifully.
Baoer looked at Yinzhen in front of her and said, "I am very satisfied with you, but I am not ready yet."
In fact, Baoer knew that she was lucky to find a man like Yinzhen, who had a good family background, good looks, and was generous enough to let her take a concubine (the concubine here refers to the Tenth Prince). If it were in modern times, she would not have the same opportunity.
So she changed her words and said "Okay, I do." She was just sorry that the Ninth Prince didn't have a proposal ceremony, which wasn't romantic at all. Bao Er curled her lips inwardly.
Yinzhen was surprised and said to him happily, "Don't worry, Bao'er, from now on, you are my name, and no one can let you suffer any injustice." Anyone who makes you unhappy will be punished. Yinzhen thought to himself.
Baoer felt a little happy when she saw his surprised look.
But she still poured cold water on him and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Who knows whether your emperor will agree?"
Unexpectedly, Yinzhen was very confident. "Don't worry, the emperor will agree. The prince has already agreed to help. If the emperor doesn't want to, I will say that I don't want anyone else but you."
"Well, I hope so." Baoer was helpless.
When they were almost at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Baoer looked at Yinzhen on the left and Qingchuan on the right. She felt her palms sweating. "Yinzhen, sister, I'm so nervous!"
Qingchuan was helpless: "I am nervous too..."
The two sisters looked at each other and fell silent again.
Yinzhen looked at Baoer's nervous expression and asked Qingchuan to wait for a while.
Then he pulled Baoer to the corner and said, "Do you remember the good way I told you about treating tension?"
