There was an earthquake in Mentougou yesterday, and naturally the capital also felt the tremor.

There have been too many earthquakes in Beijing in recent years, and everyone has long been accustomed to them, so it has not caused too much panic...

As long as the house doesn't collapse, I lose if you frown.

At first, the princess thought that the two children had gone to Nanyuan to hunt, so she didn't take it seriously.

It was not until the wife of Ningyuan Hou came to her house that she found out that the two bastards had gone to Xishan to ski.

An earthquake in the mountains is many times more dangerous than on flat ground. Princess Ning'an was immediately worried and quickly sent people out of the city to look for him.

Today, the report came that the rest of the people were safe, but the Princess of Lanling County was missing.

Ning An almost fainted, and quickly asked someone to prepare a car and go out of the city to find the child.

Fortunately, as soon as we arrived at Yuyuantan, we received a report that the person had been found, with only a foot injury, and was not seriously injured.

She quickly asked someone to send an ice truck from Diaoyutai to pick up the group for their return trip.

Yuyuantan was the place where the emperors of Jin and Yuan visited every year. Because Emperor Zhangzong of Jin liked to fish here, it was also called "Diaoyutai".

During the Ming Dynasty, this place became a villa for the royal family in the suburbs of Beijing and was classified as an imperial estate, so it was naturally managed by the eldest princess.

~~

Knowing that the child was fine, the eldest princess and several ladies who came with her did not move forward, but waited for the bastard to come back in Tongle Palace in Diaoyutai.

There were ground heating in the palace, and the room was as warm as spring. The eldest princess and the other ladies took off their heavy winter clothes and put on light and elegant dresses, sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

"Don't get angry, Your Highness. There haven't been any earthquakes this year. Who could have expected this to happen at the end of the year?" Xu Ge Lao's daughter-in-law, Ji Shi, the wife of Xu Fan, the Minister of Rites, gently comforted Ning An, saying, "The children have suffered enough. They will be obedient in the future."

"Yes, yes." Ningyuan Marquis' wife Wang and several other noble ladies also responded, "The children all wanted to go on their own, it wasn't the young lord and the county lady who kidnapped them, the county lady should not take it to heart."

"Ah..." The eldest princess's anger subsided a little, and she sighed apologetically, "It's all my fault for not disciplining these two children."

Many rules of the Ming Dynasty went against human ethics. For example, a princess had to live separately from her husband after marriage. This gave the two children the opportunity to act lawless... Anyway, if they offended their mother, they would go to live with their father, and if they offended their father, they would go to live with their mother.

By the time the prince consort passed away and the child had grown up, it was too late for the princess to take care of him...

Ning An was sighing about his child's education problem when he suddenly saw Lady Liu winking at him from outside.

Ning An understood, sat for a while, and then found an excuse to go to the back.

"What's the matter? Why can't we go in and talk about it?"

Ning An frowned and looked at Lady Liu, wondering what serious incident had occurred.

"We just received a report that the one who saved the county lady was the son of Zhao Xiaolian..." Liu Shanggong hurriedly reported in a low voice, thinking to herself, how dare I tell you this?

It is said that there is a lot of gossip around a widow. After you have listened to the seven emotions, you don't know what those ladies will do behind your back.

"Ah?!" As expected, Princess Ning An covered her mouth in surprise and said, "How could it be such a coincidence? Is it God's will? Did that child go skiing too?"

"No, I heard he was just passing by on business." Liu Shanggong hesitated for a moment, then revealed another big news: "Also, Zhao Xiaolian also received the news and hurried out of the city with Zhao Xunqing."

"Where are they?" Ning Anfeng's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

"The person who brought the news was faster than them. The two of them should be almost at Yuyuantan by now." Liu Shanggong thought for a moment and said.

"Stop them quickly." Ning An grabbed Liu Shanggong's wrist and ordered urgently: "Invite them to Yuyuantan!"

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate..." Liu Shanggong said with a smile, "Wouldn't it let others know that we have been secretly monitoring us?"

"Hmm, that makes sense." Ning An thought for a moment and suddenly said complacently, "I got it. Let his son come to Yuyuantan, and he will naturally come."

After a pause, she smiled and said, "I can take this opportunity to get rid of those annoying guys."

"Okay, Your Highness." Lady Liu was also impressed by her own prince, who really tried his best to see her 'Zhao Lang'.

~~

So at the princess's order, Zhao Hao was dragged into Yuyuantan while he was sleeping.

After waiting for a while on the ice cart, I heard someone singing in a shrill voice: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived..."

Gao Wu then called the men from Caijia Lane to lift Zhao Hao down from the car.

Over there, Li Mingyue was also carried off the ice car. Seeing that Zhao Hao was able to sit up on the stretcher, she was relieved. She glanced proudly at Xu Yuanchun, Liu Side and others who got off the other cars, meaning:

"Look, are you convinced?"

"I'm impressed." Liu Si De and others exclaimed in amazement: "I didn't expect this willow bark to be so magical. We should always keep some at home in the future."

"That's not the point, okay? The point is my brother Zhao's ability. Is it great?"

Li Mingyue looked very proud. If her mother had not been standing on the shore, she would have made them apologize.

Unfortunately, Lanling County Lord’s pride can only end here...

When the eldest princess and a group of noble ladies arrived at the shore, they saw their own child with disheveled hair and a face that looked neither human nor ghost, and the scene immediately went into an uproar.

"Xu Yuanchun, how did you get into this state? Are you trying to embarrass your grandfather?!"

"Liu Si De, you're itching for trouble, right? I'll show you how your father will beat you to a pulp when you get back!"

For a while, there was chaos in the field. The ladies took their children home. As for whether they were cooked with bamboo shoots or belts, no one knew.

The eldest princess maintained the dignity of the royal family and did not get angry at her child in front of others.

In a blink of an eye, only the Li siblings and Zhao Hao were left on the shore. Li Chengen stepped forward fearfully and said with a smile, "Mother, thank you for your hard work..."

"Kneel down!" the eldest princess shouted.

"Mother..." Li Chengen knelt on the ground with a bitter face.

"Reflect on yourself before going in." After sentencing her son, the eldest princess glanced coldly at her daughter.

Li Mingyue turned pale immediately, hugged her legs and cried out in pain:

"My legs hurt so much, they're going to break..."

Li Chengen was speechless, thinking, didn't we agree to share happiness and difficulties? You can escape this, but I will have a lot of fun.

Sure enough, the princess quickly ordered someone to carry the county princess in and have the accompanying imperial physician treat her.

Then he glared at his son and said, "Kneel down until dark!"

Li Chengen almost burst into tears. It's not even noon yet...

~~

After taking care of her children, the eldest princess walked slowly to the stretcher.

Although Zhao Hao was quite courageous, he still felt frightened when he saw the princess, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe and was extremely noble.

Seeing how cruel she was to her own son, he could not help but secretly think: Why not kneel down and not provoke this tigress...

Unexpectedly, the princess pushed him back onto the stretcher, reached out and touched his dirty head, and said kindly, "Good boy, no need to be polite. I know everything. Thank you for saving Mingyue."
