The eldest princess, Li Shihuan, deliberately changed into plain clothes and removed all the hairpins and rings on her head, leaving only a plain hairpin. Then she led her people to the imperial study.
As soon as the eldest princess Li Shihuan entered, she bowed politely and said, "Your Highness, your son greets you!"
The emperor looked at his daughter kneeling below, who looked a bit like the late Concubine Zhen. The anger in his heart instantly dissipated, but he still didn't smile.
"Get up! Look at these!"
The emperor threw the evidence that Duke Wei had just presented in front of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess picked up the thing in her hand and looked at it again, then immediately knelt down. The eldest princess felt that her father was not angry.
The eldest princess thought of the last time she sneaked out of the palace and saw the handsome young man. The words on her lips changed:
"Father, this is unjust! I didn't do this.
"I don't like Prince Wei either. I like my cousin Zhou Yirong. It's Prince Wei who likes me and keeps pestering me."
The emperor thought that the heavens should send down a thunderbolt to strike him to death! As expected, children are a debt. At this moment, the emperor was thankful that the queen mother was not in the palace, otherwise he would have drawn his sword and struck this evil girl to death on the spot.
Duke Wei was very smart. He saw that his son no longer needed Shang, who was causing trouble for the princess. He immediately slapped his son's head several times:
"I'll beat you to death, you conceited fellow! Look at your appearance. How can you be worthy of the princess's priceless body?"
Wei Chengbin also screamed a few times, even holding his head with his hands and running around a few steps, and apologized very sincerely: "I know I was wrong. I misunderstood the princess. I am not worthy of the princess's precious body."
Even the emperor was embarrassed by the acting of this father and son.
Duke Wei didn't care about that and immediately bowed to apologize to the princess and the emperor. "I think someone is trying to sow discord between me and the emperor. I didn't investigate it beforehand, so I am guilty.
Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will go out and help the princess clarify that my son is not worthy of her.
If my son bothers the princess again in the future, you don’t have to show mercy. Just come to the emperor and let him make the decision for you.
I fully support the princess."
Of course, the emperor knew what was going on here. Listening to Duke Wei's sarcastic words, even if the emperor was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
The emperor could only use the slope to go down. "Lord Wei, there's no need to be like this. It's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"
"Your Majesty, please be busy. I will take my son with me and take my leave! My son has a fiancée, and they were betrothed to him when he was young. Now I can finally explain to my fiancée."
After Duke Wei finished speaking, he immediately took his son away without caring about the emperor's reaction.
The emperor looked at his poor daughter kneeling and crying below, and he felt even more upset.
The eldest princess said she didn't like Wei Chengbin, so the emperor had no right to say anything. He could only watch as Duke Wei and his son retreated.
Before the eldest princess came, the emperor thought that since things had come to this, why not let the Duke Wei's family suffer a little and fulfill the eldest princess's wish, after all, they were father and daughter.
The Emperor waited until Duke Wei and his son left before throwing the inkstone out, "Evil girl, what have you done?"
The inkstone did not hit the eldest princess. Even though the emperor was angry, he was restrained in his actions.
The emperor's reaction was completely beyond the eldest princess's expectations. She had clearly felt that her father was not angry.
"Father..."
The Emperor waved his hand, signaling the Princess to leave immediately. "Alright, I'm too lazy to bother with a fool like you. Anyone can be your consort, not even Wei Chengbin, whom you just offended, or anyone from your grandmother's lineage."
The eldest princess relied on the fact that her father would not really do anything to her. After all, she had been doing this for so many years and her treatment had not decreased.
So the eldest princess not only knelt there motionless, but also asked stubbornly:
"Why? I'm the emperor's daughter, the most noble princess. I'm more than qualified to marry anyone. Why can't I do this or that?
Father, I refuse to accept this!"
"Oh, you are my daughter, but only a concubine's daughter, and a concubine's daughter whose mother is guilty. If you were the Queen's biological daughter, then of course you would be my noble legitimate princess, and of course you would be worthy of anyone..."
The Emperor, having said this, sized up the eldest princess, shook his head with disdain, and added, "A bastard like you, in wartime, would only have one use: to be sent as a peacemaker."
The emperor didn't want to say it so decisively, but he was tired of his daughter's endless troubles.
How could the Emperor not know that Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang were good? How could he not know that his cousin's children were good?
The point is that Zhenfei offended everyone on the Empress Dowager's side back then, and this idiot offended them again a few years ago. Now he has chosen Rong Ge'er, which will probably make the Empress Dowager angry to death.
Ever since the late emperor passed away, the emperor has been very concerned about the empress dowager. After all, the emperor is also a human being, and he also longs for family affection. Especially the kind of family affection that almost never calculates against him.
The eldest princess was very unwilling to accept this. Ever since Prince Yi rejected her a few years ago, she had been particularly unwilling to accept this: "No, Father, do you still remember the name you gave your daughter?
Now my daughter just wants to marry someone she likes, so why can't one, two, three, or anyone else work?
The emperor now didn't want to even glance at his daughter, especially when he saw her face was similar to Zhenfei's. He couldn't understand why his and Zhenfei's daughter was so stupid?
"Did you see how Duke Wei and his son were avoiding you like a disaster? Do you think you're just a piece of cake in the eyes of the nobles of Yuan'an?
Just pick randomly?
Your mother is a sinner, and you yourself are a fool who jumps around and can't see the situation clearly. No powerful noble would look down on you.
Besides being a princess, what else do you have?"
The eldest princess felt that killing someone was just the beginning, and she was so heartbroken that she almost fainted the next second.
The eldest princess always thought that she was different among her father's daughters. She didn't expect that in her father's eyes, she was just a stupid concubine's daughter.
"Father, am I really that bad?"
The eldest princess cried in panic and despair, mainly because she felt that her father's love had gone away.
The emperor didn't want to waste time talking to his daughter anymore. After all, he had already said enough to her. Facts have proven that it's useless to waste time talking to stupid people.
"Alright, leave now! From now on, you will be confined to your palace. I will take care of your marriage."
The eldest princess wanted to make a fuss, so Eunuch Hou immediately brought people to "gently" help the eldest princess out.
The eldest princess returned to her own palace and cried all day long.
The next day, she sent someone to tell the emperor that she was ill and hoped that the emperor could go and see her.
The emperor only ordered the imperial physician to be summoned, and nothing else happened.
