Chapter 906: The difference between a younger sister and a foster sister
After hearing the imperial concubine's instructions, the palace maid quickly agreed and hurried to get the pair of top-quality mutton-fat jade bracelets that the imperial concubine liked very much.
When Zheng Suxin heard this, she was surprised.
"Aunt, that bracelet is so valuable. You are not going to give it to that little girl as a reward, are you?" Zheng Suxin asked in disbelief.
Her aunt was reluctant to give her the pair of bracelets.
The imperial concubine nodded.
Since I have decided to make friends with that little girl, I naturally cannot reward her with some ordinary things.
Zheng Suxin: “…”
Suddenly I felt that my position in my aunt's heart was probably not as high as that of a little country girl whom I had never met!
"Aunt, she's just a little girl from the countryside. I'm afraid she doesn't know jade at all, nor does she understand the value of that bracelet." Zheng Suxin said, "Once she gets that bracelet, it's like a pearl covered in dust. In my opinion, it would be better to reward her with a pair of gold bracelets. She'd probably be happier."
A little girl from the country probably only knows that gold is a good thing!
How could they know the truth that “gold has a price but jade is priceless”?
After hearing what Zheng Suxin said, the imperial concubine looked at her with dissatisfaction.
"Even if she doesn't understand, doesn't it mean that the Third Prince doesn't understand? Even if the Third Prince doesn't understand, doesn't it mean that the Empress Dowager doesn't understand? Or do you think that Auntie should have given the gift to that little girl without telling the Empress Dowager and the Third Prince?"
Zheng Suxin: “…”
Of course not!
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of reward?
Soon, the palace maid Zhuier brought in a brocade box.
In the box was a pair of flawless white and crystal clear jade bracelets.
The imperial concubine looked at the bracelets, took off the pair of jade bracelets on her wrists, and replaced them with this pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets.
Zheng Suxin opened her mouth.
I really want to ask, has my aunt changed her mind?
Otherwise, why would I wear it on my wrist?
The Sixth Princess glanced at Zheng Suxin and said, "Cousin, if Mother were to ask someone to bring a box over, others would think she was going to give a gift to a little girl, which would lower Mother's status."
The Sixth Princess said this and glanced at the jade bracelet that the Imperial Concubine was holding as she bent over.
She added, "Why not wear it on your hand, and then take it off when you meet her, and give it to that girl as a reward? This way, it will be more in line with your status as a mother, and it will also show that you truly love that girl."
After hearing what the Sixth Princess said, Zheng Suxin suddenly understood.
The imperial concubine nodded with satisfaction.
Even if she wanted to make friends with the little girl, she could not lose her identity and face.
What's more, there are probably countless eyes in the palace watching her every move behind her back.
"My cousin is so smart, but my cousin is dull." Zheng Suxin sighed.
After hearing what Zheng Suxin said, the Sixth Princess looked very happy on her young face.
Zheng Suxin's mood was a little complicated.
How old is your cousin?
He usually looks innocent, but he actually understands so many twists and turns.
Sure enough, my mother was right. No one in this palace is simple.
"Let's go."
After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she took her daughter and niece to Ci'an Palace.
**
As soon as Tang Bao and others stepped out of the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, Nanny Liu walked over quickly.
"This old servant pays homage to His Majesty the Third Prince and the Grand Princess."
Xuanyuan Jin naturally would not pay any attention to Nanny Liu.
Princess Huaning smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, Madam."
After all, Madam Liu was the virtuous concubine's wet nurse and she had a lot of respect in the palace.
"Thank you, Princess."
After saying this, Aunt Liu stood up straight and looked at Tang Bao.
My eyes couldn't help but light up.
The little girl in front of me has delicate eyebrows and clear eyes. You can tell at first glance that she has a pure heart.
"Could this girl be the Third Prince's adopted sister?" Madam Liu said with a smile, "Our Queen heard..."
"She is not this prince's godsister!"
Xuanyuan Jin frowned and interrupted Liu Ma's words in a cold tone.
Aunt Liu: “…”
So, what is that?
"She is this prince's sister!" Xuanyuan Jin emphasized.
Aunt Liu: “…”
Almost got it wrong!
Fortunately, she knew that this little girl was definitely not the emperor's daughter.
However, the Third Prince's words easily made people imagine too much and doubt the Emperor's integrity.
"Tell me! Who spread the rumor that she is my prince's godsister?" Xuanyuan Jin's eyes, as sharp as a knife, swept towards Liu Ma and others.
Aunt Liu: “…”
It’s so cold today, I’m sweating.
His legs went weak and he knelt down.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I heard it from someone. Please have mercy on me!" Matron Liu said in fear and trepidation.
I'm so angry that I'm about to die.
Who spread the news that this little girl is the Third Prince's godsister?
However, there is only one character difference between godsister and sister.
Why did the Third Prince react so strongly?
This is not my biological sister.
To put it bluntly, isn’t she still a sister?
What did I say wrong?
Nanny Liu was full of resentment.
I almost wanted to ask Xuanyuan Jin, what exactly is the difference?
Yeah, what's the difference?
Tang Bao doesn’t understand either.
The relationship between me and my little brother is really like that of sworn siblings.
Otherwise, if we talk about it from our grandfather's perspective, we can only say that they are cousins.
On the contrary, they are not as close as siblings.
"Brother, this nanny is actually not wrong. We..."
"You are my sister, not my adopted sister!" Xuanyuan Jin interrupted Tang Bao.
Tang Bao: “…”
A little confused.
"Brother?" Tang Bao looked confused.
"Anyway, you are my sister, not my adopted sister!" Xuanyuan Jin was extremely stubborn.
Tang Bao: “…”
Okay, as long as you are happy.
"I know, my brother treats me as his biological sister." Tang Bao thought for a moment and said with a smile, "But, after all, we are not siblings, and this nanny didn't say anything wrong. Let's get her up quickly."
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Aunt Liu's face was full of gratitude.
This little girl is really considerate.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Xuanyuan Jin frowned even more tightly.
However, since Tang Bao had spoken, he naturally would not go against Tang Bao's wishes.
"This will not happen again! If anyone talks nonsense again and says that she is my godsister, I will punish her severely! Get up!" Xuanyuan Jin said in a cold voice.
"Thank you, Third Prince, for your mercy." Nanny Liu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
At this time, Princess Huaning was also full of confusion.
She couldn't understand why her third brother suddenly got angry.
At the same time, she couldn't understand how big the difference was between a sister and a godsister?
To the extent that the third prince cares so much?
Princess Huaning really wanted to ask Xuanyuan Jin, what is the difference between him treating Tang Bao as his sister and Tang Bao being his godsister?
However, when he saw Xuanyuan Jin's cold expression, he decisively gave up.
"Madam, are you here to see my sister Fuya?" Princess Huaning looked at Madam Liu and asked, "But what instructions does the Concubine Xian have?"
After hearing what Princess Huaning said, Nanny Liu quickly told her the purpose of her visit.
"In reply to the eldest princess, my queen heard that the Third Prince's younger sister...sister had entered the palace, so she specially ordered someone to make fragrant tea..."
Aunt Liu stuttered and almost dropped the word "干".
However, he was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Third brother!"
A clear and childish voice came with a hint of surprise.
Then, the Sixth Princess, wearing a bright red cloak trimmed with fox fur and almost wrapped like a small cotton ball, stumbled towards Xuanyuan Jin.
"An'er, slow down..."
The imperial concubine was busy giving instructions from behind.
When Madam Liu saw the Imperial Concubine, her heart skipped a beat and she felt that she might not be able to invite her back today.
This imperial concubine is most likely here to intercept!
