"Jinhua, call Minghui." The queen came back to her senses and spoke in a serious tone.
"Yes, Master."
After receiving the instructions, Aunt Jinhua bowed slightly and went out to ask someone to call Princess Minghui.
When Princess Minghui was summoned by her mother, she was copying the palace rules carefully with a bitter face. The brush in her hand moved on the paper and she was mumbling to herself.
She did not dare to complain to her mother about her brother punishing her, so her mother did not know that she had copied the palace rules.
When Princess Minghui arrived at Kunning Palace, she first paid her respects politely, then walked to the couch on the other side and sat down in a very intimate manner.
"Mother, what is it that you called me here for?"
Princess Minghui blinked her eyes, her face full of curiosity.
"The prince just came over and asked me to hold a banquet for you and Wanyin to recruit a husband. What do you think?"
The queen tilted her head slightly, her face showing no emotion, she just stared calmly at Princess Minghui.
Princess Minghui's eyes suddenly widened, her mouth slightly opened, and her whole body froze.
It was not enough for the emperor's brother to punish her, he even asked her to get married!
When the queen saw Minghui's shocked expression, she understood a little bit and knew that something must have happened yesterday.
"You went out of the palace yesterday and met the prince?"
Princess Minghui nodded first, then lowered her head and remained silent. She kept twisting the corners of her clothes with her fingers. She was a little nervous, not knowing what her brother had said to their mother.
"Your brother said that you were arrogant outside the palace. Is that true?"
Princess Minghui suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of grievance.
How is she domineering?
As a princess, everyone outside the palace flatters her, so she has no chance to act domineeringly. Only Su Jingyao and Chu Yinxue never give her face whenever they meet them.
She was a princess, but the two of them lived a more extravagant and luxurious life than she did. Of course she couldn't stand them.
How can my royal brother say that she is domineering just because of this!
"Mother, I didn't...I ran into Miss Su and Miss Chu at Mofeng Tower yesterday. Although there was an argument, it was Miss Su who was disrespectful to me first!"
Princess Minghui explained eagerly, not wanting her mother to misunderstand her.
"Miss Su? Are you the daughter of Minister Su?"
The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, looking a little confused.
"Yes." Princess Minghui nodded quickly.
The daughter of Minister Su has always been on the Queen's list of candidates for the Crown Princess. She is said to be well-educated, talented in writing, and well-mannered.
The queen looked at Minghui suspiciously, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
"Are you saying that your brother framed you?" The queen's tone became increasingly severe.
Minghui was frightened by her mother's questioning. She trembled violently, stood up immediately, and then squatted down quickly.
"I dare not. It is because I did not observe the princess' etiquette when I was outside."
Princess Minghui naturally did not dare to act rashly in front of the Queen, let alone speak ill of her brother in front of the Queen.
But she was not domineering outside the palace. At most, she just showed off her power in front of Su Jingyao and Chu Yinxue. And didn't she always return empty-handed?
She felt aggrieved and her eyes were slightly red.
"Get up. I won't pursue what happened to you outside the palace. You are now a legitimate princess, and you must not lose your princess' demeanor. Do you understand?"
The Queen's tone softened a little.
"Yes, I will remember your mother's teachings."
Princess Minghui stood up, her expression full of obedience.
Seeing that the queen looked relieved, Princess Minghui walked to the couch, sat down next to the queen, put her arms around the queen's arms, and began to act coquettishly, swaying her body gently.
"Mother, I don't want to hold a wedding banquet because I already have someone I like."
Princess Minghui had a shy blush on her face and pouted her lips slightly.
She was quite straightforward.
"Who is your crush? Wouldn't it be nice if he could come along?"
"I like Yan Shuhan, the eldest son of the Yan family, but he has gone out of town for inspection and work, and I'm afraid he won't be back for several months."
She didn't know why her royal brother wanted to send Master Yan away. At that time, she thought that her royal brother was punishing Master Yan because he was helping her, but later her royal brother was not polite to her at all.
Princess Minghui had no idea why her brother had such an attitude towards Master Yan.
"Mother, how about we hold this wedding banquet later, when Master Yan returns to the capital?"
Princess Minghui's eyes were full of earnestness and her voice became more gentle.
Naturally, she wanted to marry the one she loved, and the Yan family was also a prominent family, so marrying into the family would not be unfair to her.
"I don't know how long it will take for him to come back, so I plan to hold a wedding banquet for you and Wanyin."
The queen patted Princess Minghui's hand gently, the smile on her face faded a little, and she looked a little embarrassed.
The prince had just come to her to talk about this matter, and his obvious purpose was Wanyin. He didn't want Wanyin to like him or cling to him.
The Queen usually does what she promised the Prince.
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, the teacup fell heavily to the ground and shattered into pieces.
