Chapter 54 Are you finally willing to return the child to her?
Emperor Liang: “???”
"I don't have any!!"
He suddenly felt like he had no way to defend himself.
I feel tired, really.
With a cold sigh, he turned to look at the old eunuch beside him and said, "Go to my private treasury and take out one hundred taels of gold melon seeds for the little princess."
The old eunuch replied "Yes" and left quickly.
There aren't many things left in the emperor's private treasury. If the empress dowager doesn't take the little princess back to her own palace, he'll be dead once the treasury is empty!
While waiting for the golden melon seeds, Aunt Yao tugged at the old empress dowager's sleeve and said with great joy, "Master, the young princess praised me for my beauty."
Thinking of the little guy's blurted out "Piao Niang Ma Ma" just now, the old empress gave Ma Ma Yao a speechless look.
She has started to listen to people's flattery as she has grown old. If she had been less cunning and shown her emotions earlier, would she have been able to live in this prison-like palace with this unfortunate person for decades?
She glanced at the emperor who remained silent with his head down, and the hatred in her heart grew stronger.
Soon the old eunuch came back holding a rosewood box.
Little Tangbao looked at the box full of golden melon seeds, his eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed a handful for each of the empress dowager and Aunt Yao.
It perfectly demonstrates the art of offering flowers to Buddha.
How could they bear to take the little guy's things...
Aunt Yao helped Xiao Tangbao keep all the rewards.
The Queen Mother caressed the little girl's head lovingly and told her earnestly:
"That angular gold medal is called the Death-Free Gold Medal. You must keep it safe. In an emergency, it might save you and your father's life."
"If our Tangbao runs out of money in the future, just come to our great-grandmother... remember?"
Little Tangbao scratched his head and nodded, a little bit unbelievable.
Besides being able to exchange for merit, some gold can even save lives?!
Wow wow wow...then she needs to save up lots and lots of gold!
Thinking that the gold medal was given by the emperor, little Tangbao reluctantly counted out five candies, thought for a while, and put two back.
She stood back at the imperial desk, holding the candy in her hand, and said to Emperor Liang in a baby voice:
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bite you!"
"Thank you for the gift I received! I will stay in the palace for thirty days and then go back to see my father."
Oh……
Just a few pieces of candy?
Emperor Liang was upset, "How rude! Calling him Grandfather!!"
“?!” Xiao Tangbao frowned and moved to the side.
don't want!
She doesn't like him!
She didn't scream!!
…
In the Chenji Palace, Emperor Liang was in a stalemate with little Tangbao, stubbornly waiting for the little guy to call him "Grandfather".
Eunuch Shen happened to have just returned from the Queen's visit.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is still counting. There are too many things. It will probably take until tomorrow."
"Outside, it seems Concubine Xiao has been here for a while and has been waiting outside the palace..."
Concubine Xiao is the biological mother of the Fifth Prince, and the little grandson Yun Hanzhang, whose metacarpal bones were crushed by Xiao Tangbao not long ago, and the timid Yun Shuer beside the little grandson, are the Fifth Prince's twins.
As for Xiao, although she is already forty years old, she still has her charm. She is a middle-aged woman and is very much loved by Emperor Liang.
And she came here to file a complaint.
Emperor Liang knew that his grandson Han Zhang was injured, and the injury was extremely serious, but he was too busy to accompany or comfort anyone!
He sighed heavily. For a moment, Emperor Liang felt exhausted both physically and mentally. He waved his hand coldly at Eunuch Shen.
"I don't have time to see her! Order someone to prepare the phoenix chariot and send the Queen Mother and Princess Zhaoning back to Shoukang Palace."
“Here!”
…
When Xiao Tangbao happily left Chenji Palace with the empress dowager, carrying a bunch of treasures, Concubine Xiao, who had already returned to Qixiang Palace, was furious.
"Damn it! Not only did the Emperor bestow a title upon that bastard born to Prince Qing, he even granted her a golden medal of immunity from death and allowed her to stay in the palace for a while?!"
Concubine Xiao had many informants and she vaguely heard that the empress dowager was very fond of Princess Zhaoning. Not only did she take the initiative to invite her to live in Shoukang Palace, she also rewarded her with many treasures.
When Concubine Xiao thought about how the old empress dowager, who had not wanted to see her younger generations for more than ten or twenty years, was so partial to them, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.
With a rage that she had no place to vent, she pinched the Fifth Prince's wife who was kneeling at her feet.
"The Yongping Marquisate has long been in decline, with no chance of recovery! I only agreed to let you marry my son because your grandmother once had a good relationship with the old queen mother."
"But why don't you ask your grandmother to ask the Queen Mother to speak well of your husband to the Emperor and ask for an imperial decree to confer the title of King on my son Yun Yi?"
"With your grandmother's relationship with the Queen Mother, if all else fails, you could take Zhang'er to Shoukang Palace more often."
"Why do you always come to me instead of doing your normal work?"
“…” The Fifth Prince’s wife’s shoulders trembled as she cried.
She had been there before, hadn't her mother known about it?
But the Queen Mother refused to see them at all. What could she do?
"Mother, I heard that Zhang'er was seriously injured. I want to take Zhang'er and Shu'er back to the prince's residence to stay for a few days. Is that okay with you?"
Her two children were brought into the palace by Concubine Xiao as soon as they were born. She misses them so much!
Moreover, she had heard about the conflict between her son and Princess Zhaoning, and she always felt that something was wrong. She wanted to take Yun Hanzhang away to prevent him from causing any more trouble.
Concubine Xiao was upset when she saw Xie crying...
Just as she was about to open her mouth to chase him away, Yun Hanzhang rushed into the room like a cannonball and threw himself into her arms.
"Grandma is finally back. I miss her so much!" Yun Hanzhang hugged Concubine Xiao tightly, as if he didn't see his mother kneeling on the ground at all.
The Fifth Prince's wife stared at Yun Hanzhang's right hand, which was wrapped like a dumpling, without blinking, her eyes full of heartache.
She was lost in thought when Yun Shu'er brushed past her shoulder and ran to Concubine Xiao, bowing respectfully...
Before she could even open her mouth to greet him, Concubine Xiao slapped her on the shoulder.
The little girl fell heavily to the ground, without even crying, she quickly got up and stood up with her head down.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on your brother and make sure he doesn't run around?"
"What if Zhang'er falls? What if he gets hurt even more?!"
Concubine Xiao held Yun Hanzhang, who was about to turn six, and put him on her lap. She raised her eyes and gave Yun Shuer a fierce look with eyes full of blame.
Yun Shu'er didn't even glance at Mrs. Xie. She slowly knelt down before Concubine Xiao and kowtowed, saying, "Shu'er was wrong. Please punish me, Grandmother!"
She's barely six years old...
Mrs. Xie felt heartbroken when she looked at her daughter.
She wanted to beg her mother-in-law again, even if it was just to let her take Shu'er away...
This child is so pitiful!!
Before she could speak, Concubine Xiao said to the two children in a quiet voice, "Your mother has come to the palace specifically to pick you up. You two siblings should hurry back and pack your things, and then go back to the Prince's Palace with your mother."
"!?" Xie's eyes suddenly widened.
The mother is finally willing to return the child to her? !
Xie was very excited.
What child wouldn't be with their mother? With her mother's permission, she could finally be reunited with her children!
Zhang'er and Princess Zhaoning can now live in peace!
