Consort Jin also wanted to know what was wrong with Hejing.
Then he went inside.
He Jing was kneeling on the ground, crying and trembling all over.
"Grandmother, the jade bead necklace you gave me today has been stolen by a dishonest servant in the palace!"
The Empress Dowager frowned.
The sweet, childlike voice rang out again!
[Oh, judging by the way you practically emptied Shou Kang Palace this morning, the whole harem knows you took the Empress Dowager's jade necklace!]
No servant in the palace would dare covet the Empress Dowager's possessions!
[You probably lost it by accident and, fearing your grandmother's wrath, deliberately shifted the blame onto someone else!]
[That's quite a clever scheme, just like your stupid mother!]
[This priceless jade bead necklace was only worn by the Empress Dowager. What you stole probably wasn't anything particularly rare or exquisite!]
[To lose one's princess-like demeanor for a mere jade bead necklace! What a joke!]
I've never been so eager for my birth right now, otherwise I would be able to see your theatrical face right now!
This little granddaughter's thoughts are just like mine!
Indeed, those five jade bead necklaces were not particularly high-quality items!
Their value lies in who bestowed them upon them!
Because it was a gift from the Empress Dowager, it was even more precious!
As you are my granddaughter, even if you lose these material possessions, I will not punish you.
Your current disheveled appearance is hardly befitting of a princess.
However, considering that Consort Lin also operates in this manner, it's not surprising!
"Grandmother, you must help me find the jade bead necklace! It was a gift from you, and I've always loved it!"
【Oh ho! Do you genuinely like that jade bead necklace? Or is it because it was a gift from your grandmother that you feel entitled to flaunt it?】
The Empress Dowager glanced at He Jing.
He said it calmly.
"Since I became Empress and then Empress Dowager, no one in the harem has ever dared to covet my things."
"Since everyone knows that this was given to you by me, what servant would dare to covet it?"
"Hejing, tell me the truth, did you accidentally lose the pearl necklace?"
He Jing immediately lowered her head and dared not speak.
"I am asking you a question."
The Empress Dowager was getting impatient.
He Jing knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she told the truth.
"I was wearing it around my neck during my afternoon nap, but I couldn't find it when I woke up!"
The Empress Dowager nodded.
"I will order someone to investigate this matter."
"But even if you lost it by accident, it's gone, so why make such a fuss?"
"Alright, you can go back now. I will send someone to let you know if there is any news."
Hejing saw that the Empress Dowager did not punish her.
Only then did they stop arguing and leave quickly.
The Empress Dowager asked Ruoqiu.
"Was it ordered by Consort Xu?"
Ruoqiu nodded.
"yes."
The Empress Dowager thought for a moment.
"Consort Xu wouldn't even look down on a jade bead necklace of this quality!"
"There must be a reason for this! Perhaps Jingtai was being too flamboyant, which displeased Consort Xu?"
Ruoqiu nodded.
He recounted how He Jing humiliated Ye Chen!
[Hmph! She really doesn't act like an older sister at all!]
If I were Aunt Xu, I would also discipline this unruly young master! He's even worse than a brat!
[But Aunt Xu is really bold! I admire her for stirring up trouble to stand up for her child!]
[Brother Ye Chen really didn't mistake his mother! With Aunt Xu around, he'll definitely be protected!]
[Grandmother! Please don't punish Consort Xu! Consort Xu used magic to defeat magic! You've seen such methods before in this palace!]
The Empress Dowager was indeed not angry at Xu Qingzhi for doing this.
She thought about it.
He said to Ruoqiu.
"Let's pretend we know nothing! Let Consort Xu handle this matter herself."
"What if Princess Hejing asks about that?"
"Just make up any excuse to get by! Ruoqiu, it's not that I don't love my granddaughter, but what He Jing did went too far!"
"Ye Chen is her younger brother, and he has a disability. As his older sister, she should naturally take care of him appropriately. How can she be so sarcastic and mocking when they meet!"
"He Jing is so immature, she's not even as good as an unborn fetus."
Ruoqiu was taken aback.
"Your Majesty, you mean—"
The Empress Dowager did not want others to know that she could hear the little princess's thoughts.
Then he said.
“After Qianqian is born, she will definitely not be like Hejing.”
The Empress Dowager glanced at Consort Jin.
"Consort Jin, you've seen what Hejing is like!"
"After Qianqian is born, you must raise her well!"
Consort Jin nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly raise Qianqian well and teach her the principles of brotherly love and respect, brotherly and sisterly support for each other, and never harm each other."
The Empress Dowager nodded.
"I believe you will do so."
[Grandmother! Don't worry! Brother Ye Mu, Brother Ye Chen, Brother Ye Sen, and Brother Ye Lin are all very good brothers!]
Although the Empress has always wanted to spoil them, their inherent nature, ingrained in their genes, will not change!
Aunt Tao is a wonderful woman, and Brother Ye Mu's personality is just like hers!
oh?
The Empress Dowager was curious to know what kind of character her grandson possessed.
[Brother Ye Chen's personality is like his father's—he's vengeful and holds grudges! He's much more bloodthirsty than Brother Ye Mu, but he won't indiscriminately kill innocent people!]
Of course, this is a personality trait that only Ye Chen, who will not turn evil, would possess.
If he were to completely turn to the dark side, indiscriminate killing of innocent people would become his daily routine.
