What a person! She even dares to reject her brother as a concubine's daughter.
She just relied on her good looks to seduce her brother, the emperor, and even ignored her own brothers.
"Princess..." Lady Tong saw that Tu Qingxue was in such a state of disgrace that she was afraid that Princess Changle had gone too far. "She was rude, so a little punishment would be enough. Isn't this a bit too much..."
"Pass?" Princess Changle glanced at the two of them, her eyes full of hostility. "I am the younger sister of His Majesty, the Princess Changle personally appointed by the late Emperor. Even women outside the court are taught by others, let alone a humble servant of no rank or status."
"But she is not an ordinary court lady."
"What's different about her? She's just Tu Zhaoyi's sister. I know that." Tu Zhaoyi, Tu Zhaoyi, there was no need for anyone to tell her over and over again how favored the other person was.
How could she not afford to offend!
She looked at the two of them and said, "I respect you two for giving birth to princesses for my brother, but you should know that in this harem, a little princess is nothing."
"Yes, you also know that in this harem, a little princess is nothing." As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Qingyu led a group of people to this side.
Everyone in the small garden knelt and saluted, "Greetings to Her Majesty Zhaoyi, may Her Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."
Even Concubine Sheng and the talented boy knelt down, but Princess Changle was still standing there, her waist not bending at all.
The nanny on Tu Qingyu's side went over and helped Tu Qingxue up. Tu Qingxue was still a little confused at this time and her body was trembling.
When she heard Tu Qingyu's voice, her first reaction was not gratitude, but why she couldn't come earlier and had to come out to be the savior when she was already in such a mess.
She kept her head down the entire time, not daring to let anyone see any emotion in her eyes.
"All of you, get up."
"Thank you, Empress Zhaoyi."
Tu Qingyu didn't have time to deal with her at this time. Instead, he looked at Princess Changle, who stood with her back straight and had an unpleasant expression, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Princess, are you speaking up for your brother?" She walked over, holding her belly. "Why? Your brother asked for marriage, so I have to agree?"
Changle dared to embarrass Tu Qingxue, but did not dare to confront Tu Qingyu head-on because she was pregnant.
"Tu Zhaoyi, you're joking. I'm just trying to teach your sister some etiquette, not to complain."
"Really? But from what I see, the princess's rules don't seem to be very good either."
"What?" Princess Changle looked over unconvinced. "You and I are both women of the inner court. I'm a first-rank princess, and you're only a second-rank Zhaoyi. Do you want me to salute you?"
Not to mention saluting Tu Qingyu, she even felt that Tu Qingyu was being unfair to her by not saluting her.
The emperor really favors his brother, and actually allows such a charming concubine to meet him without kneeling.
Tu Qingyu lowered his head and played with the double dragon pendant hanging around his waist.
Princess Changle followed her movements with her eyes, and her pupils shrank when she saw the double dragon pendant.
Tu Qingyu said nothing, just looked at her with a smile.
Although he seemed so calm and composed, his aura made Princess Changle feel breathless.
Everyone in the yard looked at Princess Changle.
Even though she was a princess of the first rank, with the double dragon pendant in front of her, even an old prince from the royal family would have to kneel.
After all, seeing this thing is like seeing you.
It would have been fine if Tu Qingyu hadn't brought it up, but now that she has brought it out and pointed the sword at Princess Changle, how could she not kneel?
There were nearly a hundred people in the small garden, including the master and the palace maids, but no one made a sound.
Everyone looked at Changle, and in front of everyone's gaze, Changle gritted his teeth and slowly knelt down.
What he said was, "Changle greets His Majesty, long live the emperor."
She did not admit that she was kneeling to Tu Qingyu. She only admitted that she was kneeling to the double dragon pendant and to the current emperor.
Tu Qingyu didn't care. She walked around the group slowly and leisurely.
She said lightly, "The other day, I was thinking that several princesses in the palace have reached adulthood, especially you, Princess Changle. His Majesty is busy with state affairs and may not remember your marriage. Since I am with His Majesty every day, I can mention it briefly."
"It seems now that Princess Changle doesn't want me to mention it."
This is not about whether to bring up the marriage or not, she is just reminding everyone.
Your Majesty treats her like this now, and when she enters the Central Palace in the future, she will be the rightful mistress of the palace.
At that time, no matter whether it is the princess left by the previous emperor or the princess of the current emperor, she will be the one to decide on the marriage.
Changle raised her head, her eyes full of stubbornness, "Your Majesty, please don't worry about this matter."
"Indeed, now that I think about it, I was caught in a trap."
She turned around and held Mammy's hand, "Let's go, let's go back."
In Fengyi Palace, Tu Wangshi, who was waiting anxiously, immediately walked over when she saw Tu Qingxue.
Raising his hand, “Snap!”
The crisp sound of slapping startled everyone in the palace.
"Mom, don't be angry." Tu Qingyu persuaded her.
Tu Qinglu also hurriedly advised, "Yes, mother, my eldest sister has been frightened this time when she went out, so please don't be angry anymore."
"What do you care?" Tu Qingxue glared at Tu Qinglu with red eyes, "You are noble now, and you dare to meddle in my affairs."
"I..." Tu Qinglu looked at Tu Qingyu in panic.
Tu Qingyu held her hand and said, "It's okay."
Then he walked over to comfort Tu Wangshi, "Mom, don't be angry, come in and have some tea..."
"I won't drink anymore." Tu Wangshi shook her head. "Mother, take her out of the palace now to prevent her from causing any more trouble."
"mother……"
"It was my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to bring her into the palace. I won't do it again next time."
After she finished speaking, she hugged Tu Qingyu again and said, "My son, take care of yourself. I will come to see you later."
Tu Qingyu had just told her that her family members could come to the palace to take care of her when she was seven or eight months pregnant.
She will come to see her beloved child again when the time comes.
Tu Qingyu looked at the concern and heartache in her eyes and nodded slightly.
Someone prepared the things for Tu Wangshi and sent them out of the palace.
Just at this time, Dabao came back.
Dabao: "Master, I say hello."
Tu Qingyu: "What did she say?"
Dabao: "She said that she had a bad relationship with her parents in her previous life, and she herself had a lot to do with it. Of course, the biggest problem was Tu Qingxue.
When she was a child in her previous life, her parents actually spent a lot of time and effort on her, and this care was no less than that for Tu Qingxue. But later, Tu Qingyu bullied her and threatened her in private, and told her not to get close to his parents. She gradually became withdrawn and really was not close to her parents.
Later on, the relationship gradually became distant.
Now she has figured it out. There is no love without reason. Even between parents, love needs to be built through getting along with each other.
In this matter, Tu Qingxue is most at fault, followed by her parents, and then herself."
