Chapter 801 Becoming a Princess
Chen Haobing immediately pried open Mrs. Chen's hands.
"Mom, Dad and I will go to the palace to take a look. If you don't go, I will go and listen to what the emperor has to say. I will talk to you about it when I come back."
"Bing'er! You can't go!"
"Let's go." Prince Qiong stood up and walked out first. Chen Haobing hurriedly followed, fearing that Madam Chen would grab her.
When Mrs. Chen saw that she really followed him out, she hurriedly chased after her.
"Bing'er, come back!"
They finally escaped from the pursuit of Princess Qiong, but now they have to go back to that ditch? King Qiong is unreliable!
But Chen Haobing was determined to give herself a good identity. She didn't want to be an orphan without a father or family, and could only rely on Dong Huanzhi's protection.
Isn’t my biological father better than others?
Isn't it better to be a prince's daughter than to live in someone else's home?
"Go ahead and persuade your mother not to be so stubborn." After getting on the carriage and leaving the embroidery shop, King Qiong said this to Chen Haobing.
Chen Haobing nodded.
She breathed a sigh of relief that her mother didn't catch up.
"Dad, I will persuade her. But why don't you want me and mom?" Chen Haobing asked.
"Who said I don't want you?" King Qiong touched his nose, "It's just that the princess is too fierce. You don't know that in Qiongzhou Prefecture, their family is like a local tyrant. I don't have as many people as their family over there, and sometimes I can't confront her forcefully."
"I didn't say I would ignore you two. I just asked your mother to take you away for a few years. When I found a suitable opportunity, I would take you back to Prince Qiong's Palace. But your mother was stubborn and she wouldn't listen. It was because the princess brought people to cause trouble for her, so she just avoided it first. Who knew she would take you away."
Prince Qiong is now putting all the blame on Princess Qiong.
He also sounded very aggrieved.
"I arranged several places for you. The princess and her men raided one place. Your mother could have taken you to another place to hide. Otherwise, she could have sent someone to tell me that I would have sent someone to rescue you. But she didn't tell me and just ran away with you. She disappeared without a trace."
"I have been looking for you and your mother for these years and I have never given up. As soon as I heard the news about you, I came here in person, right?"
Chen Haobing listened to his words with some disapproval in her heart, but she did hear Prince Qiong ask the coachman to drive to the palace, so she endured it.
Mrs. Chen was half a step slow when she chased out and could only watch the carriage drive away. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
King Qiong is too shameless!
He actually deceived his daughter first!
She quickly turned around and ran towards the Medicine Alliance. At this time, she had to ask Dong Huanzhi for help. She really had no one else to rely on in the capital.
Fu Zhaoning and others also saw this situation from the opposite side.
Chen Haobing was taken away by Prince Qiong, and Madam Chen did not catch up with him.
"What's going on?" Fu Zhaoning was still a little confused.
"Have people continue to follow." Xiao Lanyuan gave the order, and had people split into two groups, one to follow Madam Chen, and the other to chase after Prince Qiong's carriage to see where they were going.
Soon, the secret guard who had been lurking in the embroidery shop came to report.
He repeated what he had heard.
Fu Zhaoning raised an eyebrow after hearing this. "Is Chen Haobing going to become a princess? Will the emperor really agree?"
After all, Madam Chen was just a concubine, not even the Prince of Qiong's concubine.
Princess Qiong even sent people to hunt them down a few years ago. If the emperor conferred the title of princess on a daughter of a concubine, it would be a slap in the face of Princess Qiong.
I heard that Princess Qiong's family is very prestigious in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and Prince Qiong used to be like a gigolo. Now he is slapping Princess Qiong in the face like this, does he not want to return to Qiongzhou Prefecture?
"He should agree. After all, he is starting to go crazy now." He sent him directly to jail and told the empress dowager to stay in Prince Jun's Mansion and not return to the palace. The emperor was capable of doing these things. He is indeed a little crazy.
"So, what is the secret that Mrs. Chen is carrying?"
The value must be great enough for the emperor to make such concessions.
"It's about Dong Qing..." Xiao Lanyuan said in a slightly cold voice, "Now it seems that the destruction of Dong Qing may not have been a natural disaster."
Fu Zhaoning looked at him, a little worried.
"If there is another conspiracy behind Dong Qing's demise, the people involved will definitely not want the truth to be revealed to the world. Once your identity is revealed, all the focus will be on you."
If there really is a conspiracy, the people involved will definitely not let Xiao Lanyuan go, right?
After all, he is the only bloodline of the Dongqing royal family left in the world.
Xiao Lanyuan remained silent.
On the other side, Prince Qiong really brought Chen Haobing into the palace.
Moreover, not long after, an imperial decree came down, and Chen Haobing was indeed conferred the title of princess, and was rewarded with one thousand taels of gold, two sets of headgear, ten feathered robes, and two white fox cloaks.
King Qiong even asked the emperor to give her a nanny to teach her palace etiquette.
There was also news in the palace that Concubine Le also liked the new princess very much and gave her two maids.
One of the maids was Qiuyun.
Knowing that Chen Haobing and her daughter came from Dahe and had no place to live, they gave them a two-story house, which was owned by the Le family.
Chen Haobing later discovered that it was not far from where Dong Huanzhi lived, just across a few alleys.
She now feels like returning home in glory!
Accompanied by a training nanny and two maids, and carrying the emperor's reward, he arrived at the house in Guixiang Lane with a haughty manner.
"Princess, the Le family has already sent people to clean up a yard. If you want to stay here today, you can, or you can come tomorrow. It should be ready tomorrow." Qiuyun said to Chen Haobing with his head down.
"I'll stay here tonight. I'll clean up my room first, and I can take care of the rest later."
Chen Haobing simply couldn't wait.
In just half a day, she had undergone a drastic change, from a poor little girl with nothing living under someone else's roof, to a princess with her own house, a nanny and maids!
She tasted the pride and happiness that came with status!
"Yes. Then the princess, please go in and see if there is anything that needs to be purchased——"
"You can use the gold awarded by the emperor to buy new clothes for me and my mother first."
"yes."
Chen Haobing went in and took a look around. Although the house was a bit old and the things inside were ordinary, it was a house with two entrances, and it was hers. She could decorate it well in the future!
"I'll go pick up mother and take her home!" Chen Haobing said excitedly.
When Mrs. Chen went to the Medicine Alliance, she received the reply that Dong Huanzhi had left the city and had not returned yet.
Dong Huanzhi couldn’t be found, and the people from the Medicine Alliance didn’t even say where he went.
She gritted her teeth and turned to ask for a meeting with Mr. Ji, hoping that he would help her, but Mr. Ji refused to see her and asked someone to convey a message to her: We are not related, so please handle your personal matters yourself.
Mrs. Chen felt cold all over.
