Chapter 416 The Most Ruthless Imperial Family
Light snow today.
It's a bit cold.
Miaomiao was wrapped in a furry cloak.
Only the pink little face is exposed.
When the emperor looked at the little girl's face today, he found that she no longer had the heavy bangs as last time, and her forehead was exposed.
Yes! Really.
Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Yuqing's, and anyone who sees them would say they are mother and daughter.
Even the arrogant way the little girl walks is like Yuqing.
The emperor had long suspected Miaomiao's background.
But when people were sent to investigate, they couldn't find out anything.
The emperor looked at the two similar faces, one big and one small, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
I never asked the question.
For many things, knowing them in your heart is one thing, but you can pretend not to know and turn a blind eye to them.
Once you ask, the nature of the matter changes.
It is inevitable to get to the bottom of it.
But if you investigate it, many people and things will be involved.
Is the child's biological father Prince Consort Cao? Who replaced him? How? How did he become Lu Sanniang's child? Whose child is Jiayue? Is she dead or alive...
There are too many questions to delve into.
After all, even if the truth is revealed, it would be inconvenient to clear her name, let alone confer her the title of a princess.
Speaking out about such a thing as confusing the royal bloodline would damage the royal family's reputation.
It’s good like this now!
As for Miaomiao's identity, not only the emperor had doubts, but even Concubine Zhengui had doubts.
It can be said that anyone who has seen Princess Yuqing and Miaomiao standing together will have doubts.
At least many people have had this thought.
Combined with rumors...
Nowadays, even the emperor has summoned the little girl many times and wants to keep her in the palace, and his attitude towards her is mostly indulgent.
There’s no doubt about it!
This little girl is Princess Yuqing’s biological daughter.
A real little princess.
Even if the emperor didn't say anything or recognize him, everyone knew it.
Miaomiao felt that this time when she entered the palace, the palace servants seemed to be much more friendly than last time.
It was just that the emperor's grandfather looked at her with a complicated expression.
Concubine Zhengui also looked at her strangely.
She felt that the atmosphere was not right from the moment she entered the palace. She subconsciously leaned towards the princess mother, and did not dare to move even when she saw the snacks and fruits in front of her.
It’s different from the last time I entered the palace.
This time she was very cautious throughout the whole process and did not fall asleep at all.
Although the girl was very well-behaved, Xier did not dare to relax for a moment.
The princess told Yan Ge'er that her job was to keep an eye on the girl to prevent her from eating or running around...
So Xier's eyes were fixed on the girl's mouth and hands.
I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back and stuff something into her mouth when no one was paying attention.
Miaomiao could feel a burning gaze coming from above her head at all times.
Not just one, but several gazes.
Everyone looked at Miaomiao.
Only Princess Yuqing looked at her father who was in a daze, waiting for him to say something or ask something.
But my father knew the truth but he pretended to be deaf and dumb and said nothing.
I thought he was going to ask about Miaomiao's life experience, but he didn't ask.
He also didn't plan to explain to her why he had confined his mother and taken Xiao Yuer away without caring about the life and death of his younger brother, the Crown Prince.
Is he really going to depose the crown prince and the queen this time?
Even though my poor mother was not liked by my father, she fulfilled her responsibilities as queen and worked tirelessly to manage the harem for many years.
In the end, he never heard a single good word from his father.
The most ruthless is the imperial family!
Princess Yuqing felt a chill in her heart.
"Father, may I go see Mother?"
"Your mother contradicted me, so let her reflect on her mistakes in the palace. Don't disturb her. If you want to see her, go see the Crown Prince and persuade him..."
Princess Yuqing sneered, "Father confined Mother to her quarters, just because she contradicted you?"
The emperor was speechless.
The queen has been in charge of the harem for decades. If she doesn't want to be confined, no one can do anything to her.
She did this voluntarily.
Princess Yuqing naturally wouldn't confront her head-on. She had many ways to see her mother.
There's no need to anger my father and get yourself into trouble.
When I came to my senses, I realized that my nephew had not arrived yet.
Under normal circumstances, when the little girl heard that her aunt was coming, she would run out to the door to greet her immediately.
She was a little worried because she hadn't seen anyone so far today.
"Father, if Xuan Erchen didn't bring Miaomiao to accompany Yu'er, then where are the others?"
These people in the palace are used to changing their attitudes according to the situation.
Seeing the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother like that, if the Emperor doesn't care, then someone else must have bad intentions.
I'm afraid Yu'er won't have a good life.
The emperor looked guilty and said, "Yu'er fell into the water while playing yesterday. I'm afraid he got frightened and now has a high fever. You should go and see him."
"How could this happen?" Princess Yuqing's legs felt weak, and she had to rely on Nanny Feng to stand steadily.
Miaomiao also opened her mouth and eyes wide.
On a very cold day, a three-year-old child fell into an icy lake.
This... is still alive?
Unexpectedly, she encountered palace fighting the second time she entered the palace, and the victim was the three-year-old Xiao Yuer.
So inhumane and cruel!
She subconsciously tightened her grip around Jiujiu, but when she saw Jiujiu struggling, she let it fly away.
It would probably take some time for Jiojiu to infiltrate the birds in the palace. The birds in the palace must be as arrogant as humans.
Besides, the palace is so big that it will take a while to find your way around.
Princess Yuqing's first reaction was that her nephew's fall into the water must be related to Concubine Zhengui.
Even if it wasn't Concubine Zhengui, it was caused by her and could not be separated from her.
She looked at the precious lady with cold and sharp eyes: "Why don't you take me to see Yu'er?"
In an instant, Princess Yuqing was completely different from the princess who had just acted coquettishly with the emperor.
Concubine Zhengui was frightened by her murderous look and felt a deep sense of oppression.
She couldn't see how many faces the princess had.
He couldn't help but let the palace maid come forward to lead the way.
Along the way, she did not forget to explain to Princess Yuqing, "Princess, you must believe that the Crown Prince's fall into the water has nothing to do with me. I have no reason to harm him..."
"Really? The emperor entrusted the child to your care, but you ended up dropping him into the lake in such a cold day. You even dare to say it has nothing to do with you. Do you think I'm blind?" Princess Yuqing sneered, without even looking at her, and quickened her pace.
Concubine Zhengui opened her mouth and was a little speechless.
This time she was really wronged.
Not only was he scolded by the Emperor, but now he was probably also hated by Princess Yuqing.
In fact, she didn't know how the child fell into the water, and he disappeared after the lunch break.
I looked and found it was in the pond. Fortunately, Yaer picked it up as soon as it fell in.
Although the little guy didn't drown, he almost froze to death.
She admitted that she had indeed failed to take good care of the child, mainly because the child was crying and making a fuss, which kept her awake at night and was really annoying.
You can’t hit me or scold me…
So she left the child to the care of the wet nurse and palace maids.
No one expected that something would happen.
Fortunately, I didn't die, otherwise...
What she wants now is different from what she asked for before.
I was coerced into doing many things I didn't want to do before.
Now that her parents and brothers have escaped danger and have been hidden in a safe place by her, even King Chen cannot do anything to her.
She directed and acted her own way to the position of imperial concubine, and she was actually very satisfied.
Right now she just wants to survive, because only by surviving can she protect her family.
So she also thought about finding another backer.
Naturally, I don't want to make enemies easily.
