Chapter 212: Almost explicit hint, she understood
Li Yuzong said: "If the prince makes mistakes again in the future, the princess will live in An Le Hall forever."
Zhao Minghong asked in an indescribable manner: "Can't make any mistakes?"
Li Yuzong smiled and nodded.
Zhao Minghong has never been a law-abiding person since he was a child. He discussed with the king, "I made a mistake, and everyone is responsible for their own actions. Can't I just live in An Le Hall?"
Li Yuzong smiled and shook his head.
Tao Wanyin stepped forward and bowed: "Thank you, Eunuch Li, for delivering the order. I thank the emperor."
When Li Yuzong returned to the palace, she looked at Prince Yong and sighed.
So this is the method of restraint. It seems that she will have to go back to Anletang soon. After returning to the palace, she still needs to make plans early.
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Zhao Minghong was unhappy and threatened with narrowed eyes: "Don't look at me with such contempt, otherwise I will cause trouble as soon as I leave the palace."
Tao Wanyin turned her gaze away, no longer looking at him, and walked away first.
Behind her, Zhao Minghong had a sullen face and kept muttering.
"Princess, you are so angry that you dare to walk ahead of me. I am thinking about the child in your belly. After you give birth, I will show you how I will deal with you."
Tao Wanyin took a few steps and then stopped again.
She said, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Minghong said: "It's too late for you to realize your mistake now. I have already made up my mind..."
Tao Wanyin looked back at him and said, "Your Highness, my maid Yinxiang is still in Anle Hall. Can you bring her out as well?"
Zhao Minghong didn't expect that when she called him, it was not because she reflected on her mistakes and wanted to flatter him, but because she cared about the treacherous maid.
He said with a cold face: "It is already a favor from my royal brother that he allows you to come out alone. Why do you care about what she does?"
Tao Wanyin smiled softly and said, "Yinxiang is the prince's person. I only blame myself for not knowing it all these years. Yinxiang has been with me for so long without any status. It's already wronged her. Why don't you take her out? I will pick a good day and take her as my concubine."
Zhao Minghong sneered and said, "I didn't expect the princess to be so magnanimous. It seems that we don't need to worship Buddha statues in the Yongwang Mansion anymore. We can just turn the princess's Jinmo Residence into a Buddhist temple."
"The concubines and wives in the palace come to see the princess every day, and they can also practice with the princess. It's really killing two birds with one stone."
Tao Wanyin's face turned pale, and her knuckles turned blue from pinching so hard.
"Whether to accept Yinxiang depends entirely on the prince's mood. After all, the prince is famous for being fickle."
Zhao Minghong said: "Princess, you are wrong. Even if I like new people, I will never forget you, my old friend."
Tao Wanyin had decided to be patient, but she couldn't help but tell him about Yinxiang.
Now she feels that she was really stupid. Why did she compete with Prince Yong in the palace? She was lucky to be alive.
She suppressed her emotions, bowed her head respectfully and said, "I will obey your Majesty."
Seeing that Tao Wanyin really started to curry favor with him, Prince Yong became even more unhappy. He limped away, swinging his royal blue robe sleeves vigorously.

When Li Yuzong took his breath and returned to the hall to serve again.
The porcelain plates dropped by Emperor Wu Su on the ground had been cleaned up by the palace servants, and there was no one on the throne.
Ji Qingwu looked at Emperor Wu Su who walked in after opening the curtain with a nervous mood.
He just had a big tantrum, and I wonder if he would punish her as well.
After all, she could be considered the "culprit" of the fight between Prince Yong and Wei Ting. Emperor Wu Su knew why she went to Anle Hall, and he must have known what role she played in the incident.
Ji Qingwu got up and was about to go downstairs to greet him.
Emperor Wu Su raised his hand and said, "You just stay here, no need to get out of bed."
Ji Qingwu knelt on the couch in this position, his black eyelashes fluttering and then falling, secretly observing his expression.
When Emperor Wu Su saw that she looked docile and gentle but was actually dishonest, he laughed in his heart but did not show it on his face.
Ji Qingwu picked up the snacks on the small table and asked softly, "Your Majesty, would you like to try some?"
Just now, she heard a noise. The plate that Eunuch Li had placed on the big table was thrown to the ground in his anger.
Emperor Wu Su looked at her fair fingers holding the celadon plate. Her fingertips were not painted with nail polish and had a natural and lustrous pink color.
They are obviously exactly the same pastries. They would be annoying if placed in front of the throne, but when held by Ji Qingwu, they look very appetizing.
Emperor Wu Su nodded slightly.
Ji Qingwu was delighted and was willing to eat something. He must be in a good mood.
She moved closer with the small plate in her hand, and saw his eyes fall on the Longjing pastry again.
Ji Qingwu then remembered the rule when the emperor was eating, which was that palace servants would serve the dishes on the side.
"There are no silver chopsticks now, Your Majesty, you have to eat with your hands."
Emperor Wu Su said bluntly: "There are ready-made chopsticks here, just use your hands."
Since the emperor had spoken, Ji Qingwu had no choice but to obey. She picked up the grass-green Longjing pastry and handed it to his lips.
Emperor Wu Su did not open his mouth.
Ji Qingwu asked in confusion: "Why doesn't your Majesty eat?"
The emperor stared at her lips and said, "Li Yuzong has become increasingly lazy. He doesn't have a silver needle to test for poison."
Li Yuzong was outside the curtain. He heard clearly what the emperor said and his old face fell. All the things sent into the Qinzheng Hall had been checked by him with a silver needle in advance.
Ji Qingwu understood this almost explicit hint.
So she took the initiative to say: "I am the ready-made silver needle, let me try it."
She lowered her head and picked up a piece of Longjing pastry.
The corners of Emperor Wu Su's lips curled slightly. Seeing that the pastries in the plate were not moved at all, he knew that Ji Qingwu might be frightened by what happened in the palace.
Last time, he heard her say with her own ears that when Jiujiu was in a bad mood, she liked to eat sweets. The little girl was raised by Ji Qingwu since she was a child, and this habit was probably inherited from her.
Ji Qingwu ate in a very elegant manner. He took a small bite and savored the food carefully.
After a while, he said, "The crust of this pastry is crispy, and the filling melts in your mouth. There are also some pecan kernels in the filling."
Seeing him looking at her with shining eyes, Ji Qingwu suddenly said, "It's not poisonous, Your Majesty can eat it."
As he spoke, he raised the plate in his hand higher.
Emperor Wu Su lowered his head and moved closer to her hand, eating the remaining half of the Longjing pastry that she had not finished.
I don’t know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he bit her fingertips.
Ji Qingwu retracted his hand and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, this is not good."
After all, it was food she had eaten before, and she always felt guilty about giving it to the honorable Emperor.
Emperor Wu Su did not like sweet things, so this was still too sweet for him. However, he could barely eat this pastry with some tea.
He drank another cup of tea and said, "What's wrong with that? I've already eaten your saliva, so what's wrong with that?"
Ji Qingwu blushed.
Emperor Wu Su raised his eyebrows and said, "How about this, I will also reciprocate."
