Prince Su deserved this ending. People outside were laughing at him. The old Prince Su had not done any good deeds over the years and had offended many people, who were now trying to take advantage of his misfortune.
Zhao Letong was in no mood to kick someone when he was down. She still had to investigate the affairs of the Xuanming Sect. If this sect was not eliminated, her family would be in danger.
How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?
Song Lian also returned to the Imperial Observatory to work and meditate on his cultivation. Zhao Letong couldn't always ask him to run errands for him, as he held an official position after all.
Knowing that someone was still plotting against the Zhao family, Zhao Letong drew enhanced versions of amulets for his family overnight. He also gave them a lot of strange talismans such as teleportation talismans and invisibility talismans, which could save their lives at critical moments.
They also looted a lot of good medicinal herbs from the palace and asked the supervisor to make life-saving pills for them, which they stuffed between their teeth. They were just like assassins, but while others used poison, they used life-saving medicine.
As long as it is not a poison that kills instantly, the person can be saved.
For the safety of her family, she really took the utmost protection.
I didn't tell my family about these things because I was afraid they would worry. It's too tiring to live in fear.
After working hard for a few days, she finally had a break. The eldest princess sent someone to invite her and reward her, but she had forgotten about the banquet. The eldest princess accompanied her to the banquet, and there were also many little girls to play with her.
Zhao Letong just needs to relax. With a little dressing up, she can become a cute little pink girl. Children don't need fancy jewelry to decorate themselves. Simple, generous and cute looks are enough.
When the eldest princess saw her coming, she complained, "Look at you, what are you busy with as a child? It's been how many days since you last came to see me?"
Madam Kong said, "Your Highness talks about the young lady several times a day, like a young girl who has just fallen in love, always thinking about her lover."
Zhao Letong couldn't help laughing, and threw himself into her arms and acted coquettishly: "I am busy with important things, but I am not idle. If Your Highness misses me, you can come to my house to see me.
A master as great as me will be even busier in the future. There’s no other way, because with great power comes great responsibility.”
The eldest princess felt distressed: "You are only a child, but you are busier than adults. You should be playing carefree at such a young age, but you worry so much. I am afraid you won't grow taller."
"Alas, there's nothing I can do. There's no one to take over, so I have to carry on with this for now."
He looked like a little adult, and his cute appearance made the eldest princess couldn't help laughing. She simply loved this child so much.
Madam Kong said, "Let's go over there too. It's getting late. Don't delay. The young lady is so busy. Let's go and play with the young lady later."
"That's fine. I have many nephews, and they can all play with Your Highness."
Instead, Zhao Letong took care of her like a child, which made the eldest princess laugh and cry.
Today's banquet is the birthday banquet of Prince Hengyang's mother, and the eldest princess has been specially invited. This old lady was a close friend of the eldest princess when she was young. They have always had a good relationship and have been exchanging letters.
When the eldest princess came back before, she looked old and ugly because of a body curse. She didn't like going out and didn't reminisce with her old friends. Now, in order to pave the way for Zhao Letong, she is willing to leave the house.
Children without a mother's guidance will be looked down upon by the big family, and it will not be good for marriage in the future. The eldest princess has to consider something that Zhao Biao has not considered.
No matter how much a man dotes on his child, he is not as attentive as a woman. He does not understand the twists and turns between women, and is bound to let the child suffer.
The old lady of Hengyang's family name is Qi, and her maiden name is Qinglian. She was once a famous and talented woman. Her family's family is the residence of the Minister of Rites. She has many children and grandchildren. Her family is one of the few happy and complete families in the capital, and she is very enviable.
As soon as the eldest princess appeared, Madam Qi came to greet her personally, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
The eldest princess quickly helped him up and said, "You are still so polite to me. I won't dare to come here again. We are friends, so we don't need to talk about these empty formalities. You are the birthday girl, so get up quickly."
"It's a honor to have your Highness remember an old woman like me. Please come and have a seat. Oh, you, how come you don't age at all? It seems the rumors are true. You've got some magic elixir that's turned you back to youth."
A hint of jealousy flashed in Mrs. Qi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and turned into concern.
Zhao Letong looked at the old lady carefully. She had thin cheeks, fine eyebrows and eyes. She could only be considered pretty. Now that she was old, her skin was loose and even when she smiled, she didn't look very kind. People like her were usually scheming and not good people.
Thinking of what the princess had said about her friendship with her on the way, Zhao Letong had a different opinion.
After following the princess into the inner courtyard, and sitting down, Old Lady Qi asked Zhao Letong, "I heard that you value this child very much. She is indeed lovely. It would be great to have a good child to accompany you. You will feel less lonely."
These words sounded like a sign of concern for the eldest princess, but they were also heartbreaking, mocking her for having no filial children or grandchildren and being alone.
The princess did not have any malicious intent in speculating about the ancients, but thought that she was genuinely concerned, and said, "This child is indeed good, and it is my good fortune to have her as my daughter.
When you were young, you loved poetry and songs, so I specially asked someone to select a few rare poetry collections and give them to you as birthday gifts."
Madam Qi stiffened slightly, then said, "You are the only one who remembers my hobby, but now it's no longer possible. The whole family relies on me to take care of it. The housework is so tedious that I don't have the mood to write poetry.
I don't have such a good fortune as you, to be remembered by the Emperor, and I will have a long life ahead of me."
In history, few princesses who were married off to foreign countries could come back. The eldest princess was indeed lucky, but there were also people with dirty minds who could not bear to see the eldest princess have an easy life and slandered her a lot.
Although she didn't say it to her face, she made a lot of arrangements behind her back. Old Madam Qi always spoke up for her, but the meaning behind her words was also intriguing.
Now her words sounded a bit sour. Zhao Letong sneered in her heart, what good sister, I'm afraid she is taking advantage of His Highness, this old lady is cunning and hypocritical, not a good person.
"Tongtong, you don't have to accompany me. Go out and play with the maid."
"No, I'm accompanying His Highness. There's nothing fun to do outside."
"This child is so filial."
Old Lady Qi sighed with some disdain, letting a child curry favor with the eldest princess. The Zhao family was really trying to curry favor with the powerful and would do anything to achieve their goals.
Many royal relatives came to pay their respects to the birthday girl. Since the eldest princess was there, they had to pay their respects to her. It was a bit chaotic with so many people, so the eldest princess took Zhao Letong out to get some quiet time. After all, she was not the birthday girl, so she didn't want to steal the limelight from her good sister.
The breeze blew gently by the pond, and my mind suddenly became clear, and I felt much more comfortable. Drinking tea and eating snacks was more comfortable than staying in the house.
"Your Highness, I don't like this old lady."
"Why?"
The eldest princess was quite surprised. It was rare for Letong to say so bluntly that she disliked someone.
