After the Emperor issued an imperial decree announcing to the world that Sang Shu had been removed from the royal family genealogy, the rumors circulating in the capital that day were not about the royal family's reputation, nor about Sang Shu's treatment after being removed from the family tree, but about the fact that the position of the Fifth Princess was poisonous.
When Sang Yin was the fifth princess, she escaped from her marriage and left the palace, destroying the relationship between the royal family and the grassland prince. In order to appease the anger of the grassland, the emperor announced to the world that Sang Yin's identity was revoked.
Then the title of the Fifth Princess fell on Sang Shu.
Now Sang Shu has committed a series of serious crimes, and finally knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to beg for entry into the city, and her reputation has been ruined.
The emperor immediately kicked her out of the royal family tree, and Sang Zhen became the fifth princess.
Tsk tsk, now when people mention the fifth princess, most of them know that she is a begging princess who kowtows three times and nine times. The notorious ranking now falls to the royal princess Sang Zhen.
After seeing the fate of the first two princesses, everyone thought that whoever was ranked fifth would definitely have a bad ending.
They all felt sympathy for the fifth princess who was next in line.
There was even a casino that opened that day, where the bets were not on the size of the lottery, but on the fate of the next fifth princess of the royal family. The closing period was one year.
The one-year handicap is very fresh, and many people have started to try it.
When Sang Zhen heard the news, she was so angry that she jumped up and down, smashed the teacups in the palace, and wanted to go to the emperor to argue, but was stopped by Concubine Dong.
"Mother, I don't want to be the fifth princess. Why should they be expelled from the royal family for doing bad things, and the name should fall on your head?" Sang Zhen cried with tears in her eyes.
Concubine Dong had just been mocked by the other concubines in the Queen's Palace. When she heard her daughter crying, she felt distressed: "The royal family's ancestral precepts are like this, who can change it?"
"But...but the Fifth Princess has such a bad reputation. How can I, a son, face people in the future when I hold such a position?" Sang Zhen knew without thinking that there were people outside waiting to laugh at her.
"Well, just bear with it for a while. After a while, everyone will forget about it. The ancestral precepts are known to all Beili people. Who would remember it?"
"That's different." Sang Zhen cried even harder.
People can’t remember that one of the Five Princesses was expelled, but how can they not remember that two of them were expelled?
Concubine Dong was also angry.
But it was crossed out in the family tree. According to the lineage, she was the fifth child, a fact that could not be changed.
"Anyway, I don't want it. Mother, go and ask Father for it." Sang Zhen grabbed Concubine Dong's sleeve and said, "I'm not married yet, so I don't want to bear the consequences of the mistakes made by those two bitches."
"Wait a minute. There have been many things going on lately, and your father is very irritable. If you provoke him now, insults and punishments would be the least of his worries."
The emperor became more and more impatient, and even the queen usually avoided him deliberately and would never approach him unless necessary.
Everyone knows the emperor's current condition, and few people in the harem dare to go to him.
Sang Zhen sniffed, a hint of ferocity appearing on her pretty face. "If that little bitch Ye Qianning hadn't come back, how could Sang Shu have been expelled from the royal family? If she were fine, I wouldn't have set my sights on the title of Fifth Princess."
"You can talk about these things in your room, but not outside. Even your father didn't care, and he didn't care about humiliating the royal family by welcoming them into the city gate. You can imagine how much your father values them. If you want to live in peace, don't cause trouble."
Concubine Dong is not stupid. The emperor, who cares so much about his reputation, can swallow his pride and lead all the civil and military officials to the city gate to welcome him. Ye Qianning is not someone they can afford to offend.
"Mother."
"Sang Zhen, if you want your mother to be safe, stay out of trouble."
Sang Zhen sobbed, full of dissatisfaction. (End of this chapter)
