Chapter 56: Buddha Does Not Save the Mentally Ill

[6. I knew the stuff in here would only cause my breasts to grow.]

[Let's just say that not getting married and having children is the best way to keep safe. His mother worked so hard to raise him, but he just worships his father whom he rarely sees. I'm convinced.]

[Is the princess also living such a miserable life? ]

[Won't I also be miserable when I grow up? ]

At this time, Bei Jingchu was in the Empress Dowager's Renshou Hall.

The Queen Mother heard her eldest granddaughter's inner mumblings and grasped the key point.

The princess is having a miserable life?

What is going on?

In fact, the status of princesses in the Yue Dynasty was not low, at least compared with the previous dynasty.

However, the status of princesses in previous dynasties was too low, and even the emperor’s only daughter could be beaten and scolded by her husband’s family.

The inherited customs resulted in the princesses in this dynasty not having a very high status.

The emperor has no shortage of daughters.

As long as they don't cause too much trouble like in the previous dynasty and don't give face to the royal family, they won't pursue the matter too much.

The reason why King Lu had such a high status before was because all his brothers in the previous generation were killed by the emperor.

Therefore, Heng'er has a somewhat cruel reputation.

She also wondered if it was because she had done too many evil things that Heng'er had such difficulty in having children, and now she only had one daughter, Bei Jingchu.

The question now is which princess had such a miserable life that her eldest granddaughter began to worry about her own future.

In fact, it’s okay for others to worry, she doesn’t need to worry.

The Queen Mother understood her son's protective temper. Given how much he doted on his daughter, she would be very angry if the Prince Consort's family dared to make her eldest granddaughter suffer in the future.

If the prince consort was not dead in the afternoon after the quarrel in the morning, it must be that his ancestors bribed King Yan in the underworld.

She heard Bei Jingchu continue to whisper in her heart: [This is terrible. Are women controlled by hormones after giving birth?]

[You have to ask the Queen Mother for help for the future of a son like this.]

[It is better to eat it raw than to eat it raw. 】

[Princess Guangde, do you know that this piece of barbecued pork you gave birth to will kill you?]

Bei Jingchu felt indignant for her cheap aunt.

The Queen Mother was very familiar with this title.

Princess Guangde's biological mother, the late emperor's Consort Qiu, was a good sister of the Empress Dowager.

The kind of friendship of life and death.

So she had always taken good care of the child, and her concern for him was almost as great as that of the emperor.

Didn't she say that she and her husband have a good relationship?

How can I be so miserable after giving birth to two children?

And said her son would kill her.

Is that the big one or the small one?

However, the young man said that Guangde would come to her for help for his son's future.

Then we will know which one it is.

It just so happens that today is the day when Princess Guangde comes to the palace to pay her respects.

The eldest granddaughter has never met her aunt yet.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Bei Jingchu's complaints again: [I was wrong. I shouldn't have sympathized with her. In fact, she deserved it.]

[You are still praying to God and Buddha. My Buddha cannot save the mentally retarded. ]

I, the Buddha, do not save the mentally retarded...

Who taught you to talk like that?

The eldest princess has arrived at Renshou Hall.

When the clerk led Princess Guangde in, he reminded her, "Your Highness, the eldest princess is in Renshou Palace today. Children cannot stand strong fragrances. The smell of your sachet is a bit strong. Please give it to me for safekeeping."

The eldest princess took off the sachet and took out a handful of golden melon seeds, handed them to the clerk, and asked casually, "Is the eldest princess very favored by the queen dowager?"

Dian Yi answered flawlessly: "The eldest princess is also the grandson of the dragon."

The main point is that I dare not not answer, but the answer is irrelevant to the question.

Those who become ladies-in-waiting of the Imperial Court, especially those who are trained by the Queen Mother, will not reveal anything about their master.

Of course, the pile of golden melon seeds would not be returned. The Queen Mother said that if someone bribed them, they should accept it.

I didn't say I had to do anything after I took the money, hehe.

Seeing the main hall of Renshou Palace, the princess did not ask anything.

As soon as she entered and completed her formalities, she saw the baby in the Queen Mother's arms.

Since he has always been loved by the Queen Mother and is her only surviving grandson, he must be favored.

But she sneered in her heart, what if she was favored again?

When the Emperor was alive, she was also extremely favored.

Look at it now, a new emperor appoints his own ministers, and when the next emperor takes the throne, this beloved princess is still ignored by everyone.

Princess Guangde had already thought about how to start a conversation to make the Queen Mother happy: "Is this the eldest princess? She is white and plump, and you can tell at a glance that she is a healthy and strong child."

The Queen Mother burst into laughter at these words.

Regardless of whether it is flattery or not, who doesn’t like people saying that their child is healthy?

Especially now that the child is still young, I don’t have much expectation for her. As long as she can grow up healthily, that’s enough.

Bei Jingchu didn't understand: [See, you are quite good at talking, so why can't you talk nicely to your eldest son? ]

[She was either impatient or scolding, and she kept saying "Mom dotes on you" and "Mom loves you" to her little son.]

[I thought you wouldn't be able to speak properly, but it turns out you can't speak properly to your eldest son. If it wasn't for the ** (system) certification, I would have suspected that he wasn't your biological son.]

[Why can parents have children without taking any exams? Many people are just not suitable to be parents, such as the Concubine Ying and the Princess.]

[A good father like my Aye doesn't have many children, alas~. 】

If the emperor were here now, he would be deeply moved. Unfortunately, he is not here, and only the empress dowager heard it.

The Queen Mother never cared much about the eldest princess's parentage and had no idea that such a thing existed in their family.

It seems that every family behaves well outside, but in fact they are all very interesting behind closed doors.

Not to mention others, didn't she and the emperor look like a loving mother and a filial son?

In fact, it is the mother who is blaming the son.

After chatting and laughing for a while, the eldest princess finally told the purpose of today's visit: "Queen Mother, my second son is also of school age."

"Everyone knows that all the famous teachers in the world are in Hongwenguan. I also studied in Hongwenguan when I was young."

"My son is of royal blood, so he should be able to enter Hongwenguan, right?"

It is indeed good enough.

The Queen Mother didn't quite understand: "Why would you just send the person there? Why are you looking for me?"

Princess Guangde bit her lip. She also thought that just sending the child would be enough, but who knew that she would be rejected.

Bei Jingchu knew why Hongwenguan dared to reject the princess's son.

Speaking of it, the princess's son is also of royal blood, but there are many royal bloodlines, including a lot of people in the royal clan.

Only real princes and princesses were considered noble, and the rest were important officials of the court.

Today, the emperor values ​​important officials in the court much more than these royal relatives.

In the eyes of the emperor, clan members were useless relatives who depended on him for support, while ministers were handy tools to do things for him and solve his problems.

The teaching style of Hongwenguan is elite education. It was built for the emperor's children to study, and there are only so many places in the school.

The top priority is definitely the princes and princesses, followed by their companions.

If there are still vacancies after these people are squeezed in, they will be allocated to the emperor's relatives and important ministers.

However, now the children of important ministers are almost full. If the eldest princess wants to get her child in, she can only ask the emperor or the empress dowager for help.

So Bei Jingchu also began to worry about her future. The contraceptive methods in ancient times were terrible.

If she had a child of her own, she would be like Princess Guangde, who had to beg for good educational resources. This princess is too stingy.

Unless the husband she marries is a powerful official.

But, in this case, if she falls in love with some handsome guy outside, wouldn’t it be difficult to support her?

She is dressed like a princess, but she can't even raise a head of noodles. What's the point of being a princess?

So you can't marry a powerful official.

So what can we do?

I can only be a princess with real power...

When Bei Jingchu was still a little baby, she had already grabbed her hair, which was barely growing, and started planning how to start a career for her future.
