Yunying couldn't believe that her cousin the emperor was so heartless that he demoted her just because she kicked that wild girl into the water.
She is still at home happily waiting for the imperial decree to grant her marriage!
Princess Yunying couldn't figure it out, but Princess Ruihua did. In this matter, the emperor favored the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion over hers.
I guess this is because of her previous support, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as just a one-year salary deduction.
But she still couldn't understand how the emperor knew about this and was so angry?
After a while, the person Princess Ruihua sent out to inquire about the news came back. She learned that the matter had been widely spread in the streets and alleys, and the imperial censors knew about it, and they directly reported her to the court.
That's why the emperor was so angry and issued an imperial decree to reprimand her.
Princess Yunying didn't care about all this and pestered Princess Ruihua to go to the palace and ask her to ask the emperor to plead for her.
Princess Ruihua was already preoccupied with the lawsuit, and with Princess Yunying pestering her, she had no choice but to take Princess Yunying to the palace the next morning.
However, Princess Ruihua did not go directly to the emperor, but went to the empress dowager first.
When the Empress Dowager saw Princess Ruihua and Yunying coming, although she knew why they came, she did not ignore them. As usual, she took Princess Ruihua aside to chat about family matters.
Princess Ruihua felt more relieved when she saw that the Empress Dowager did not treat them coldly because of the Emperor's reprimand.
Princess Yunying went to the Empress Dowager crying and complaining, hoping that the Empress Dowager would ask the Emperor to plead for her.
The Empress Dowager also knew that Yunying had gone a bit too far this time, but considering their past relationship, she still sent someone to ask the Emperor to come over.
The Emperor knew about it as early as when Princess Ruihua entered the palace. Now when he heard that the Empress Dowager was looking for him, he knew what was going on.
There is no need to avoid this matter. It is better to talk about it face to face so that the imperial aunt will not have any resentment in the future.
When the Emperor arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, Princess Ruihua was the first to bow and apologize to the Emperor. "Ruihua apologizes to the Emperor. This was inappropriate of Ruihua, and it has damaged the reputation of our royal family."
The Emperor was satisfied to see that Princess Ruihua had not made any move. He helped Princess Ruihua up and said gently, "Aunt, please understand me. Those imperial censors have submitted several memorials. I have no way of explaining to them if I don't deal with them. I hope you will bear with me."
Since Princess Ruihua is sensible, there is nothing wrong with him saying nice things to her.
When Princess Ruihua heard the emperor say this in front of the empress dowager, she knew that the matter was over. As long as she didn't make a fuss, she would still be the emperor's good aunt.
So he respectfully thanked the emperor, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting Ruihua. Ruihua will definitely not have any complaints."
"That's good. It's best that the Imperial Aunt thinks this way. I feel relieved." The Emperor also said with a smile.
Yunying was anxious when she saw that the emperor and her mother had been talking for a long time but no one mentioned her.
She tried to wink at Princess Ruihua, but unfortunately Princess Ruihua didn't even look at her.
He looked at the Queen Mother again, and the Queen Mother could only speak vaguely, "My prince, Yun'er is still young. Please bear with me if there is anything wrong."
The Emperor smiled and looked at the Empress Dowager, "Mother, I think Cousin Yunying is not young anymore. It's time for you, the Imperial Aunt, to consider your cousin's lifelong affairs."
Princess Yunying saw that the emperor did not answer directly, and could only speak up herself, "Cousin Emperor, how could you punish Yun'er like this for a wild girl from the countryside?"
"Yun'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Princess Ruihua hurriedly pulled her hand, but unfortunately Yunying still spoke out. She originally thought that as long as she didn't respond, she would give up. Who knew that it would be fine if the child didn't speak, but once she opened her mouth, even the emperor complained.
Princess Ruihua quickly pulled Princess Yunying to her knees and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Yun'er didn't mean that. Ruihua will go back and discipline her properly."
Hearing Princess Ruihua say this, the emperor's originally gloomy expression eased a little, "Aunt, I have already asked Prince Shen about what you said last time. He and his wife are deeply in love and don't want others to interfere. I think cousin Yunying is not young anymore, so she should find someone to marry as soon as possible."
"Yes, Ruihua thanks the emperor." She understood that if the emperor said this, it meant that there was no hope for Shen Nian. She could only agree, otherwise she would probably offend the emperor.
The empress dowager watched from the side without interrupting. The emperor's words were golden, and she had to listen to what he had said. Otherwise, where would the emperor's majesty be?
The emperor had official business to attend to, so he apologized to the empress dowager and left.
Princess Ruihua only breathed a sigh of relief after the emperor left. She was really scared to death just now.
"Sister-in-law, I've spoiled Yun'er, that's why she speaks without restraint.
However, she didn't have any bad intentions, she just kept thinking about Master Shen. Since the emperor had already asked Master Shen's opinion, Ruihua would definitely take good care of Yun'er in the future and not cause trouble again. Princess Ruihua still explained to the Queen Mother and made her attitude clear.
The Empress Dowager understood what Ruihua meant, which was that she would take good care of her daughter in the future so that the Emperor and she could rest assured.
"Ruihua, don't blame the emperor, but he is right. Find a husband for Yun'er as soon as possible, otherwise all the good boys will be picked. Our Yun'er is precious and cannot be wronged."
"Yes, sister-in-law, Ruihua thinks so too. If you have a good family, please pay more attention to Yun'er. Ruihua would like to thank you first." Princess Ruihua agreed with a smile.
Yunying heard the two people discussing her marriage in person and wanted to speak up to fight for her own situation, but was stopped by Princess Ruihua.
Yunying was unhappy and kept pouting.
But she also understood that there was no turning back with Shen Nian.
She was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't continue talking, otherwise even the Empress Dowager would dislike her.
Seeing that the matter had come to this, Princess Ruihua could only change the subject. She chatted casually with the Queen Mother for a few more words, then took Yunying to apologize to the Queen Mother and returned home first.
In the carriage, Yunying had a gloomy face and said nothing, sulking with Princess Ruihua.
Princess Ruihua had no intention of coaxing her at the moment, and was still thinking about which young man was still unmarried.
Yun'er is indeed not a child anymore and can't delay her marriage any longer.
Otherwise, who knows what ridiculous things this child will do.
On Chen Nian's side, after hearing that since he left the emperor, the emperor asked Eunuch Xu to go to Princess Ruihua's mansion to convey the imperial edict, and fined Princess Ruihua and her husband for one year's salary, and demoted Princess Yunying to a county lady, did Mu Chen stop spreading the news.
Although this treatment should not cause any pain to Princess Ruihua, she was satisfied with it. At least the emperor's attitude was in her favor.
I haven't paid attention to what's happening outside these days in the summer. I've been painting in the house. I haven't finished the last painting I took on yet.
When she suddenly heard Shen Nian talking about this, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Shen Nian had done so many things for her.
He was so touched that he couldn't control himself and kissed Shen Nian on the face.
