Chapter 653 Why did you lie to me...
The Third Princess bowed deeply to Jiang Lianzhu again and said, "I guess you are Princess Fu'an. Nice to meet you. I have a wet nurse, but she's gone to collect this month's rice and rations, so she's not here right now."
Jiang Lianzhu frowned. "Does the Third Princess only have one servant? Does she have to do chores like washing clothes herself?"
Dabao also looked at the attendants around him with an unhappy expression.
"Give the Third Princess a few more servants. This courtyard is no longer suitable for living. Find another courtyard for the Third Princess!"
The third princess rubbed her hands obediently, looking very embarrassed. "Your Majesty, no need. I grew up in the cold palace, and no one wants to be with me. It would be unfair to them to be with me. I have a wet nurse to take care of me, and that's good enough. There's no need to add more people. I am free and live a good life. And I don't need to change the courtyard. When my father was alive, he arranged a marriage for me. When I was old enough, I will get married. I'm used to living here and don't want to move anymore."
Jiang Lianzhu had also heard about the third princess's marriage.
The third princess was not favored by Emperor Xuan and grew up in the cold palace. Her marriage had been decided long ago.
It’s a marriage alliance!
Make peace with the Darong Kingdom!
After the two countries established a friendly policy, marriage was one of the policies, and the two countries were to marry princesses to each other...
The princess chosen by Emperor Xuan was the third princess, whom he disliked the least. When she reached the age, she was married to a prince of the Darong Kingdom.
…
When Jiang Lianzhu thought of this, she also felt it was not worth it for the third princess.
He is not favored by Emperor Xuan.
Of course, from Xuan Huang's point of view, this mother and daughter killed several of his offspring. They were indeed jinxes, and he really didn't want to see them.
However, it is a bit too much to use her for marriage even though he doesn't like her so much.
Living in a place like this, even rough work had to be done by her own hands as a princess, and she was even going to be married off in the future...
Dabao said to the attendants without further ado, "Send someone to repair the entire house and clear out the weeds. Then, add more servants to the Third Princess, as per the standards for the First and Second Princesses."
The attendants quickly agreed.
Seeing that her objection was ineffective, the third princess felt relieved.
She bowed to Dabao again obediently and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Dabao spoke gently, "Third sister, there's no need to be so polite. From now on, you can call me by my name, Xuanxi, or Imperial Brother. If you need anything, you can come to the Imperial Study to find me. We are all family. When the Emperor left, he also told me that he would take care of the sisters..."
The Third Princess looked touched. "Okay, I heard that Second Sister is imprisoned in the courtyards next door. Royal brother, you went to see Second Sister, but I didn't dare go over there. I wasn't liked by Second Sister before, and I heard that she was in poor health. Is she feeling better now?"
Dabao talked about the second princess's condition.
The third princess was filled with joy, "That's great, it's Father..."
Speaking of Emperor Xuan, the Third Princess suddenly became sad again. "Father was so angry that he died. I didn't expect that my younger brother, the Crown Prince, would actually... Well, when my wet nurse came back and told me this, I couldn't believe it. Father's health was not good to begin with. I have always been worried about him. Unfortunately, I have been living in the cold palace and there is nothing I can do. I remember that I saw Father several years ago. When he passed away, no one notified me. Brother, I would like to ask you to let me go to the palace to keep vigil for Father! I also want to see Father off for the last time..."
Poor princess, no one even informed her that Emperor Xuan had died.
This shows how people lived in the past.
"Yeah. OK."
The third princess was delighted and said thank you several times.
As promised, Dabao and his companions immediately took the third princess to Emperor Xuan's mourning hall.
The concubines and the eldest princess are all here to keep vigil.
The body is usually kept for seven days before burial.
The eldest princess and the concubines had been guarding here with Bai Xiao for a few days. They were a little surprised to see the third princess coming, but when they saw that it was Dabao, Jiang Lianzhu and the others who brought her, they didn't say much.
Dabao and Jiang Lianzhu burned a few incense sticks and kowtowed to Xuanhuang's golden coffin.
Then, Dabao went to deal with it in advance.
Jiang Lianzhu had nothing much to say to these crying concubines. After giving a few instructions to the third princess, she was ready to leave.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he was stopped by the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was the most beloved princess of Emperor Xuan and also the princess who had the deepest feelings for him. She had been keeping vigil for a few days and crying for a few days. Now her eyes were red and swollen, like peaches.
"Princess Fu'an!" The voice was also hoarse.
Jiang Lianzhu turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xuanxiu winked at his subordinates, and they all understood and stepped back a certain distance.
"Princess Fu'an, I want to ask about Wang Ming. Wasn't he the one who saved me that time? In the dungeon of the Inner Guard?"
Jiang Lianzhu nodded calmly. "Yes, I'm sure you already know the truth. It wasn't him, it was Liao Jiu and I. That night, my son Erbao was bullied by the Crown Prince in the palace. I refused to accept it, so I went into the palace to teach the Crown Prince a lesson. I happened to pass by the Inner Guard House and went in to take a look..."
I noticed something was amiss with you. Although we have a grudge against each other, we didn't want Baihualou to frame an innocent person, so we saved you."
The eldest princess' tears flowed silently.
"It's really you, it's you, not Wang Ming. Why would Wang Ming lie to me... Why is he so wicked..."
He muttered to himself in a daze.
Then, she bowed deeply to Jiang Lianzhu and said, "Thank you, Princess Fu'an, for saving my life so many times. Thank you. It was all because of my greed that I was wrong."
Jiang Lianzhu was startled.
The eldest princess used to be very arrogant in front of her, but now she behaves like this, like a completely different person.
Then I thought again.
Yes, her father died suddenly, and her fiancé revealed his evil true face, deceived her, and ended up dying, leaving her with no chance to take revenge. Anyone would have a huge psychological gap and their personality would change drastically.
"No need, just consider it fate!"
Speaking of which, the eldest princess is not an unforgivable person. She just loved Liao Jiu before and he was her love rival. Later, Liao Jiu refused the marriage proposal and the eldest princess was humiliated. She made a fuss several times and tried to obstruct him at every turn, but at least no one was killed. If you put yourself in her shoes and think about it from her perspective, you can understand it.
Now that her father is gone, the eldest princess can no longer act like a troublemaker. Jiang Lianzhu is still magnanimous and chooses to forgive her.
It can't be considered forgiveness. Jiang Lianzhu has never taken her seriously.
The two people are completely on different levels, and she is not even Jiang Lianzhu's opponent.
