Chapter 928: Holding a grudge
When Lan'er saw her mother crying, she was so frightened that she cried too. She stretched out her hands towards Rong Wu, asking Rong Wu to hug her.
Just as Rong Wu was about to hug him, Princess Rong grabbed her. Princess Rong burst into tears and waved to the maids in the palace with choked sobs, "Take it away. This child... will cause trouble for the Queen Mother."
"The Empress Dowager will not be in trouble. When I pick up Princess Pinglan, I will send her back to Prince Ping's Mansion. I believe that Prince Ping will also raise her well. Princess Rong and the fifth girl can rest assured." With that, he held Pinglan in his arms. Princess, turned around and left.
Rong Wu cried heartbreakingly and his heart was broken.
After the news about Rong Wu spread outside, the people in the capital laughed and said, "It just so happened that the Rong family divorced Princess Ximin of the royal family. Now, Prince Ping also divorced the fifth girl of the Rong family. The two families are quite happy." One-on-one, no one owes anyone anything.”
"Hey, a few decades ago, Prince Rong's Mansion was also the leading princely family in the capital, and was deeply favored by the old emperor. But now, look at it, with the Chu family and the Second Prince's Mansion, the Rong family has also been Gradually declining, especially in the past two years, Prince Rong The power in his hands has been almost taken away by the emperor, and now these two things have happened. After this, the Rong family and the royal family have really lost their skin. From now on, even if they meet, I am afraid they will only be on friendly terms. Not in agreement.”
"Princess Rong doesn't dare. How dare she disagree with the Queen Mother?"
"That is, how dare Princess Rong not take the Queen Mother into consideration."
"If the Rong family wants to hate, it is only because they hate Prince Ping. They will not involve the Emperor and the Queen Mother in this matter. Then Princess Rong and Prince Rong are both smart."
……
In the streets and alleys, almost everyone was talking about the fifth girl from the Rong family being divorced and sent home by Prince Ping.
Prince Ping was at home, but he stared at Princess Pinglan who was brought back by the palace maid with disgust. The veins on his forehead were twitching, which showed how much he hated Princess Pinglan.
After staring for a long time, he gritted his teeth and ordered the housekeeper, "Give her to Aunt Zeng to take care of. She will not be allowed to appear in front of this king again in the future."
In one sentence, everyone in Prince Ping's Mansion knew that Princess Pinglan was not favored by Prince Ping, and she even attracted Prince Ping's dislike.
Therefore, Aunt Zeng, the aunt who suffered a miscarriage due to Rong Wu's miscarriage, was very mean to Princess Pinglan on weekdays.
When she was a child, she was left alone in the room. The maid was only responsible for feeding her three meals a day, and then she was left to fend for herself.
If she pooped and peed on her body, the maid would pinch her so hard that she would cry loudly. The maid was afraid that others would hear her, so she blocked her mouth with a dirty rag and continued to pinch her, only a few times. Yue's child was covered in cold sweat.
Several times, I was choked unconscious.
For the first time, Princess Pinglan was raped and fainted, and the maid was also afraid. However, after seeing Aunt Zeng and Prince Heping being indifferent to Princess Pinglan, the maid's courage was also raised, and she often carried Princess Pinglan was beaten and scolded.
Every time she was beaten or scolded, Princess Pinglan's mouth was blocked first so that she could not cry.
Because of this, Princess Pinglan has had a delicate and timid temperament since she was a child.
Xia Zihan spent a day making clothes at home. She made the twins' clothes and put them on that day.
On the morning of the third day, Princess Rong came to her door again and asked to see her, saying that she had something to ask for.
Thinking of the unpleasantness of the last meeting, Xia Zihan was very annoyed and told the maid, "Just say I'm tired and resting, so I won't see you." Chu Qing said yes and went to reply.
Soon, Chu Qing came back again, "Princess, Princess Rong said that she came here specially to buy Jasper Ointment, the magic medicine for removing scars, and she will go back after buying it."
"Jasper ointment? Why did she buy jasper ointment?" Could it be that Rong Wu was divorced by Prince Ping because of his appearance?
Xia Zihan guessed in his heart, but felt that it didn't make sense.
Rong Wu is a cautious and careful person, how could she lose her appearance? Besides, if she loses her appearance, I'm afraid it will be spread on the street.
"No, Princess, I heard that Concubine Rong Shi fell and hit her head. This jade ointment should have been bought by Princess Rong for Concubine Rong Shi." Chu Meng stood up and removed herself from the emperor. The secret guard around him told him the rumor he had heard somewhere.
Over the years, Chu Meng has been close to the emperor's secret guard, and the secret guard's thoughts about her are clear. Unfortunately, Chu Meng is young, only seventeen years old this year. According to the family rules of Anjun Prince's Mansion, the number of maids must be full. He can only be released when he is twenty years old. He wants to ask to marry Chu Meng, but there are still others to wait.
Among the maids, only Chu Fei and Chu Cang were over twenty years old. However, these two refused to marry, so Xia Zihan couldn't do anything about them. They were unwilling to marry, and she couldn't force them. Let them get married.
Xia Zihan was happy.
"The first one was fine. How could it be such a coincidence that he fell down right after we got back? Haha..." I knew it couldn't be such a coincidence. Something must have happened here.
Xia Zihan pointed to a few porcelain bottles placed on the ancient shelf and said to Chu Qing, "Sell one to her. Remember, it will cost ten thousand taels of silver."
A bottle of jasper ointment costs ten thousand taels of silver, and Xia Zihan is not as big as a lion. This price has been available before.
Princess Rong also knew that, so when she came, she specially brought 10,000 taels of silver notes. However, thinking that in just three days, Xia Zihan earned 12,000 taels of silver from her, she My heart ached with angina, I gritted my teeth, and I even hated Xia Zihan.
On the contrary, when Xia Zihan got the 10,000 taels of silver, her smiling eyes turned into crescents. She waved her hand and said, "We will use these 10,000 taels of silver to buy food and drink for the New Year this year. You guys Whatever you want to eat, write down a list and tell Nuanyu to buy it.”
Then, he ordered Chu Qing to hand over 10,000 taels of silver notes to Nuanyu.
The maids, wives, and servants of Prince Anjun's Mansion all screamed with excitement. Even Mrs. Zhuo came over in a hurry and said, "You have made so much money from Princess Rong. Be careful that she will hate you."
"What am I afraid of? Princess Rong hates me, and she can't do anything to me." He couldn't beat her again and again, and he couldn't talk about her anymore. Compared with her power, Prince An's Palace even compared Prince Rong's Palace to scum.
"That said, but isn't there a saying that it is better to offend a woman than a villain? Princess Rong is a woman and a villain. She looks kind on the surface, but in fact she is a ruthless master, secretly scheming. Man, that’s a first-class method. In short, Ayu, you have to be careful about her in the future.”
"Well, mother, I know, I will be careful."
Seeing Mrs. Zhuo's worried face, Xia Zihan couldn't help but become a little wary of Princess Rong.
Mrs. Zhuo talked about the epidemic in Jiangnan, "Hey, your father received another letter in the afternoon. When he read the letter, his face looked strange and he hurried into the palace. I think the epidemic in Jiangnan is probably more serious. Aqi... …”
