Chapter 410: Everyone Has One
"This princess has one, my brother has one, Aunt Lu has one, Aunt Bier has one... In short, almost everyone in my mother's yard has one. Even the nanny who cooks in the small kitchen got a small piece for her little granddaughter."
"Oh, by the way, there's also a piece of warm jade the size of a large rockery. It's not as good as the one I wear, but it's still better than yours. Mother thought it took up too much space, so she moved it to the bathroom. Believe it or not, I don't feel cold at all when I take a bath in the winter."
The maid was almost choked by the insult and could only smile and continue, "Then this piece of jade..."
The little girl curled her lips and said, "We don't lack jade in our house. My mother's jade headdresses of better quality than this one are not counted by piece, but by the number of warehouses. There are several warehouses..."
"Father, my royal brother, any good things from my three uncles and my maternal grandparents should be sent to Mother. Father said that the storehouses in the mansion have already been built for a lot of things, and if there is no more space, we will buy a house next door to use as a storehouse."
"Hey? Isn't that the jade hairpin my mother is wearing today? Look and see if it's better than that crappy rough stone from Beining."
When Concubine Zhang heard what the little girl said, she looked towards Bu Ruo's head and saw a jade hairpin with excellent water content. If calculated by value... it would probably be several times the value of her large rough stone.
Concubine Zhang coughed awkwardly, causing the maid to retreat. "It's my fault. I didn't expect the princess to be so wealthy. I'll have someone find some good things for her later."
Bu Ruo smiled and said, "Noble Concubine, there's no need to stir up trouble. The Emperor of our Great Zhou is not here, so it's useless even if you say anything."
"And even if he were here, it wouldn't matter. He knows that this princess is indeed rich enough to rival a country. After all, this princess has the Bu family army to support, unlike the noble concubine who usually doesn't have to worry about anything and lives a comfortable life."
The little girl nodded and said, "My royal brother does know. Not only does he not care, he even wants to give the throne to my brother and father. However, my father wants to accompany mother and doesn't want the throne. My brother is too young, so he can only take on the throne for now."
"But my brother said that he is only temporarily helping me manage it. As long as I am willing, the Great Zhou will belong to me in the future."
"So... Your Majesty, your nephew is trying to abduct the future emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to your residence. If this matter were to be known by my brother or the old emperor of Beining, what would happen to your Zhang family? I wonder if it would be even worse than the fate of the Gu family."
Concubine Zhang was shocked. How could this be possible? Wasn't the throne everyone's dream? In every dynasty in Beining, princes fought for that position, shedding blood and swearing to climb to the top by stepping on the flesh and blood of their own brothers. But how could it be that in the Great Zhou, the throne was avoided like a scourge, a threat to the state.
But if it is really as the little princess said, then this matter will be really difficult to handle. But it doesn’t matter, after all, the Zhang family does not rely on the emperor.
Concubine Zhang looked at Bu Ruo with regret on her face: "Princess, I believe you know why I came here this time. Tell me, what do you want me to do in order to heal my nephew?"
Bu Ruo snorted and waved her hand in boredom: "Your Highness, I am not afraid to tell you that I can cripple him and I can indeed heal him, but I absolutely cannot heal him."
"If he dares to take advantage of my children, he must be prepared to bear the consequences. Not everyone in this world will indulge him."
"Also, your poison has no effect on me, my queen. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. If there's nothing else, please go back. After all, the thought of you being the aunt of that beast makes me want to kill someone."
Seeing that the other party had made her words so clear, Concubine Zhang simply tore off her face and said, "Princess, you are the regent princess of the Great Zhou. This is Beining, not a place where you can do whatever you want."
Bu Ruo scoffed, "How can this princess not need the Imperial Concubine's concern? If the Imperial Concubine has that much free time, she might as well care about your nephew and the Gu family, or... care about why the people your Zhang family relies on haven't sent the former imperial physician to your family for so long."
"I have heard that the former imperial physician in Beining has the ability to revive the dead. If he comes, please let me know. I would like to see him too."
When Concubine Zhang heard Bu Ruo's words, she almost slipped off her chair, her eyes dodging. "What's the previous dynasty? I don't know what you are talking about. I will ask you again, are you going to treat my nephew or not?"
"Goodbye~"
Concubine Zhang's face turned pale. "Okay, okay, Regent Princess of the Great Zhou, I will remember you. I will not let you go. It won't be long before you come to beg me."
"If you want to dream, you'd better go back and do it. Go away!"
Watching Concubine Zhang stagger away, Bu Ruo shrugged nonchalantly, "Lulu, go tell Bi'er to split the spies Mo Bao has planted in the Beining Palace into two groups. One group will protect the young princess and the young prince, and the other group... this princess will have her own uses."
That night, it was said that Concubine Zhang returned from the old emperor's bedroom crying. It was said that she was severely scolded because of the Gu family's affairs...
Guo Lu was very familiar with the harem. When she was helping Bu Ruo wash up the next day, she couldn't help but tell her what happened last night.
"Princess, the little princess is really amazing. She just said it yesterday and it happened that night."
"Last night, after being scolded by the old emperor, Concubine Zhang couldn't sleep. She went out for a walk in the middle of the night to calm down. She happened to see her maidservant talking with a guard not far from Ninghe Palace."
"No one knows exactly what she heard. All we know is that after returning home, the maid was punished by Concubine Zhang with twenty strokes of the cane for a trivial matter, and the baby in her womb died immediately."
"It is said that Concubine Zhang's face was extremely ugly, so gloomy that water could drip out of it."
Bu Ruo snorted lightly: "How could someone like her watch someone around her get pregnant and give birth when she herself can't possibly get pregnant?"
"By the way, let the two children live with me starting tonight. I'm afraid that Concubine Zhang will become desperate and do something desperate. This is a good opportunity. I can give her a big gift."
"She's also a member of the Zhang family. This princess gets angry the moment she sees her. Anyway, the Zhang family has done so many bad things that they're under such a dark cloud. Just think of this as this princess collecting some interest in advance from the heavens."
As for Xiao Yulan...she only stayed in the palace for one night and left the palace to do business the next day.
He originally wanted to take Bu Ruo and the two children away, but Bu Ruo said it was boring outside and insisted on staying here to watch the fun, and also said that he had no right to interfere in matters between women.
The regent who doted on his wife excessively had no choice but to leave on his own. He knew that as long as no one from that plane showed up, Bu Ruo would be safe.
