Since the incident caused by her last loss of composure, Consort De is now much calmer than before.
But no matter how calm she tried to be, she was anxious inside. She had no idea what the Emperor's attitude was.
I used to think I understood the Emperor quite well and tried my best to be his confidant, but after that incident, the Emperor's attitude became unpredictable and hard to fathom.
Although she was anxious about this matter, she never doubted that she had brought Yinzhen back to Yonghe Palace. After all, in her eyes, it was all perfectly logical, so how could it not work?
It's just a matter of time.
What Yinreng wanted to do was to make her anxious. Only when she was anxious could she lose her composure and do things according to her own heart, so that her father, the Khan, would see this.
Let's see how Consort De regards Yinzhen, so that the Emperor would seriously consider whether it is appropriate to entrust the child to her!
This was the first time he had schemed against his own father, the Khan. Yinreng's feelings were somewhat complicated; he was a little uneasy, but also secretly pleased. Actually, it couldn't really be called scheming against his father. Based on his understanding of his father, he knew that after learning about this matter, he might feel a little unhappy, but he wouldn't do anything to him.
Yinreng acted cautiously, and everything he did was discussed with Yinzhen, for fear of overstepping his bounds.
After all, he was an outsider, and everything he did was for Yinzhen's sake. However, he couldn't assume that he was acting in Yinzhen's best interests and do anything inappropriate...
Consort De was very upset.
As a result, Mingyue became increasingly silent in the study. She could sense her mother's low mood and felt helpless while also feeling sorry for her mother.
She knew her mother was in a bad mood and had been in a terrible situation for the past few years. Even without looking at anything else, just the way the palace maids and eunuchs treated her was enough to tell her that her mother was no longer the person who was fawned over by the palace maids and eunuchs as before…
The palace has always been a place of fawning over the powerful and stepping on the weak. If she loses the Emperor's favor, others will naturally stop fawning over her. So now that Consort De has become the one being ignored, how could Mingyue possibly have an easy time?
When did this begin? Perhaps it started when my kind grandfather suffered a tragedy…
She knew that her maternal grandfather was a very capable man who could often find her many good things. Just like when she was among her group of sisters, she could have a dress with a particularly novel pattern or get a piece of particularly precious fabric, but her other sisters did not. She knew that her maternal grandfather had hidden these things for her.
But this matter came to an abrupt end with her grandfather's fall from power. She never received anything like it from him again, nor would she ever be the envy of her sisters.
Actually, at that time, the people around her mother were constantly complaining about her. Although they tried their best to prevent Mingyue from hearing it, how could she not hear it after all, since they lived together!
"The princess is siding with outsiders. Look at what her classmates have done to the Empress! Yet, the princess still heartlessly stays with them!"
"If it weren't for Lord Uya's current situation, Master's life wouldn't be so difficult. After all, we all have powerful backers!"
When their master loses power, the lives of these palace maids won't be particularly easy, and it's normal for them to want to complain.
Such complaints are not uncommon.
After being brainwashed by such words for so long, Mingyue began to resent her friends. Why did it have to be her maternal grandfather? How could such a good person as her grandfather do something that would harm the interests of the palace?
My maternal grandfather must have been wronged, or he was taking the blame for someone else.
They used to have such a good relationship, so why didn't they tell her about this? Instead, they reported it directly to the Khan, leaving her in this state.
How could she not be heartbroken!
The more she thought about it, the more her mind wandered, and finally, she couldn't help but have a conflict with someone in the study that day, and they started arguing.
Mingyue spoke softly, and at this moment, she was choking up, looking especially pitiful.
"It's nothing, they're just bullying my mother because she's only a concubine! I don't even have a good brother who can stand up for me!" Mingyue sobbed as she spoke.
In fact, she had known for a long time that the Fourth Prince in the palace was her biological brother, something her mother had told her before.
Consort De told him about this in order to use Mingyue as a breakthrough point. Perhaps Yinzhen would hope to have a well-behaved and cute younger sister. Her plan was quite clever, but it only made Mingyue's heart more and more twisted.
She desperately wanted to befriend her brother, but he ignored her completely!
But Mingyue clearly saw it several times now, and her brother was always walking past with Jingrou and the others, chatting and laughing! Why treat them differently?
She was clearly his biological sister!
The fact that someone who used to be so quiet suddenly acted like this left Jingrou and the others a little dumbfounded.
To put it bluntly, the argument was over a trivial matter. Mingyue felt that others were looking at her strangely, which was really too sensitive. After all, she was a princess, and the other princesses' attendants would not treat her like that.
Everyone who can stay in the palace is a shrewd and intelligent person. Although they have good relationships, it doesn't mean they have low emotional intelligence!
It was like a huge bucket of dog blood being poured on them. It made it seem like they were collectively ostracizing Mingyue, even though she was the one who stopped talking to them first!
Mingxuan stepped forward. After understanding the situation, she calmly said to Mingyue, "Hezhi didn't think that way, and none of us did either. We've always considered you a good friend." As for her mentioning "brother," that's their own family matter. Who's whose brother?
Mingyue stared at everyone with her big, round eyes, her gaze filled with innocence and sadness, making everyone feel a tightness in their chest, unsure of where to begin.
The study was silent. Mingyue didn't say another word until the day's lessons were over.
But after returning home, Mingyue told Consort De about it.
No one knows what Mingyue said to him, but in Liu Ping's eyes, it became that these little brats were bullying Mingyue because she didn't have a brother or any backing!
