The nanny smiled and replied, "If it weren't for visiting, His Majesty would basically stay in Fengyi Palace. On weekdays, he rarely even returns to his own bedroom."
"Then why didn't you see His Majesty today?"
The nanny gave her a strange look, but still replied, "The emperor is still in the front court discussing state affairs with the ministers."
A woman's sixth sense made the nanny add, "Your Majesty hasn't been in a good mood lately."
"Why?" A hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. "Didn't you say that His Majesty dotes on my sister?"
That hint of excitement was just caught by the nanny.
Mammy's heart sank, and the smile on her lips disappeared.
"It is because Your Majesty dotes on the Empress that he is angry."
"I'm really concerned about my sister. Mammy, could you please explain in detail?"
Mammy: Concerned? Oh, her eyes are never wrong.
She pulled Tu Qingxue aside mysteriously and said in a low voice, "Someone wanted to harm the Empress and the dragon fetus in her belly the other day, and the Emperor was furious."
"That happened twice. The first time, His Majesty beat a concubine and a palace maid to death with a stick. One person was the worst offender, being turned into a human pig."
"Human pig? What is a human pig?"
"The human pig is made by cutting off a person's nose, ears, and limbs, leaving only the upper half, and then putting it in a jar."
"ah……"
"Oh, for the second time, His Majesty has beaten some people to death and has also punished many concubines. Anyone who wants to harm our concubine will not have a good end." The nanny reached out and patted the back of her hand. "Don't worry, my lady, His Majesty treats the concubine well."
Tu Qingxue trembled all over, she remembered the kick Si Chao gave her that day.
The kick broke one of her ribs, and it took her almost three months to recover.
I still have a dull pain in my chest.
Looking at Mammy's eyes, she blurted out subconsciously, "But isn't she okay?"
After seeing the strange look in Madam's eyes, she immediately changed her words, "Fortunately, my sister is fine. Those who hurt her deserved it."
"Yes." The nanny nodded with a smile. "Go for a walk, young lady. The exotic flowers and rocks in Fengyi Palace are the best in the palace."
The nanny left, leaving her with two palace maids.
After walking for a while, she led her people out of Fengyi Palace. The Fengyi Palace guards who had received instructions did not stop her.
As she walked, she asked the palace maid, "Does the emperor have any brothers?"
"That's natural. Your Majesty has many brothers, but there aren't many princes left in the capital these days."
"Then... among the princes who remain in the capital, which one is the most handsome?"
"This... should be Prince Li, right? Actually, we have never seen any other princes. It was only at the last palace banquet that Prince Li stood up and asked to marry Princess Fushan. That's when we saw him more clearly."
"Who are you asking to marry?" She didn't react at first, and only after taking a few steps did she remember who the Princess of Fushan County was.
Her eyes widened and her voice almost broke.
How is this possible?
The Tu family has three daughters in total. One of them became a queen in the palace, and now she is pregnant with twins. Her status will definitely be further improved in the future.
A woman who was proposed to by a prince, was conferred the title of county lady and is about to become a princess?
Only she, the most noble eldest daughter, ended up marrying a poor scholar.
How is this possible!!!
She had a gloomy face, and the distortion and jealousy in her heart almost made her lose her mind.
The maid was startled by her, "Fu, Fushan County Princess."
"Marry me." Tu Qingxue took a deep breath, "Then why didn't His Majesty grant the marriage?"
Since he is asking for marriage, he would not look down on Tu Qinglu's status as a concubine's daughter. Then why is there no imperial decree granting the marriage yet?
"It was the Queen who disagreed, and His Majesty also felt that Prince Li was not sincere enough."
"Yes, and later His Majesty conferred the title of County Lady upon the Third Miss."
Disagree? No sincerity?
What on earth was Tu Qingyu thinking? He was a prince, the emperor's brother. How noble and sincere did he have to be before he agreed?
No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
Seeing that Zhang Jianren was becoming more and more useless, she couldn't just rot in the mud for the rest of her life!
She also wants to marry into the royal family and become a superior person.
Scholar?
The scholar couldn't even enter the palace, so he wasn't even worthy of carrying shoes for the princes and nobles.
How can I be worthy of her!
She thought about what she should do to get along with which prince, and then find a way to get out of the Zhang family.
Just as she was thinking about it, two concubines with several palace maids and eunuchs came towards her and bumped into her.
The palace maid behind Tu Qingxue immediately thought to herself, "Greetings to the beautiful lady Sheng, and greetings to the talented young lady Tong."
They kept winking at Tu Qingxue, and she finally responded, "Greetings to Miss Sheng, and Miss Tong."
"Get up." Lady Sheng looked at the two maids. "You seem to be from Fengyi Palace?"
"Yes, we are second-class maids in Fengyi Palace."
"So you are Empress Zhaoyi's people. What are you doing..." In fact, her eyes were mainly on Tu Qingxue.
"This is Concubine Zhaoyi's sister. She's bored staying in Fengyi Palace, so she came out for a walk."
"I see." The two of them said calmly, "Then Miss Tu, please walk slowly. We have some things to do ahead, so we'll leave first."
"Farewell to the beautiful lady Sheng, and farewell to the talented young man Tong."
But before the two of them took two steps, another woman came towards them.
She was dressed in a scarlet palace dress, with a jeweled headpiece of sky-blue jasper on her head, and the palace belts and rings on her body made pleasant sounds as she moved.
"My two sisters-in-law are giving her too much face. You haven't even done the formalities yet, and you're just going to let her go like this?"
Concubine Sheng and the talented young man bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Princess Changle."
The servants also knelt down, "Greetings to Princess Changle."
Tu Qingxue also bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to Princess Changle."
"Greetings to me?" Princess Changle casually played with the armor in her hand. "My two sisters-in-law only gave me half-offerings. Who the hell are you? How dare you also give me half-offerings?"
What the hell are you?
Tu Qingxue blushed when she heard this, and she felt extremely humiliated.
Princess Changle lifted the tassels on her head and said, "Cui Xin, go teach her how to salute me."
"yes."
The palace maid named Cui Xin walked behind Tu Qingxue and kicked her in the knee.
"ah--!"
Tu Qingxue knelt on the ground. She screamed and before she could react, two more people came over and pressed her head down.
"When ordinary maids see the princess for the first time, they have to kneel twice and kowtow six times." As she spoke, the person holding Tu Qingxue pressed her head to the ground.
After knocking three times, someone would pull the person up and press him down to knock three more times.
Tu Qingxue struggled, but with her strength, she was no match for the maids in the palace.
Lady Sheng couldn't bear it any longer, "Princess, she is..."
"I know who she is!" Princess Changle interrupted her before she could finish her words. "She is the one I am punishing."
