The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

Shen Baozhao pulled back his sleeves and glanced at Prince Yu with a half-smile.

Prince Yu withdrew his hand awkwardly. He was so regretful that he wanted to poke out his own eyes.

It was obvious that Shen Baozhao looked somewhat similar to the Princess of Nanhua County, so how come he was so shortsighted that he didn't recognize her?

Before leaving, my wife gave me many instructions and warnings, saying that my granddaughter was also at the Princess's Mansion today, and if I met her, I should take good care of her and not let anyone bully her outside.

But who would have thought that the one who bullied his granddaughter was actually this old man.

If his wife knew about this, he wouldn't know whether he would be able to keep his shiny moustache.

Shen Baozhao said in a cold tone: "Is there anything wrong with Prince Yu?"

Prince Yu was trembling with fear, not knowing how to speak. The soft and tender little girl back then had grown up so big.

He didn't know how to coax her again, and he couldn't take her to buy candy figures like he did when they were little.

What's more, he has offended his granddaughter badly today.

"Zhao Zhao, it's Grandfather's fault. Grandfather shouldn't have sided with the girl from the Mei family.

But you should tell grandpa, if you tell me your identity, I will definitely not do that."

Shen Baozhao sneered, "Your Highness, do you mean that if you knew I was your granddaughter, you would side with me?

If it was any random girl, would you not uphold the principle of fairness and prejudge Mei Ruolan as being better? "

"Putting aside my identity, Your Majesty, ask yourself, is my calligraphy really inferior to Mei Ruolan's?"

Prince Yu was almost ashamed of what Shen Baozhao said. He was a very protective person and justice was not as important as personal feelings in his eyes.

But he didn't dare to say that at this time, so he could only apologize carefully: "Zhao Zhao, it's all grandpa's fault.

Your handwriting is certainly much better than the girl from the Mei family. You are right, no matter what, I should judge based on the facts. "

Shen Baozhao is a person who responds to soft words but not to hard ones. Since Prince Yu admitted his mistake so humbly, she would not hold on to it anymore.

He sighed, and his tone was not so serious: "Grandfather, please don't do this again next time."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes. What Zhao Zhao said is right."

He suddenly raised his head and asked in disbelief, "What did you call me just now?"

Shen Baozhao looked at Prince Yu's expectant eyes and called out again, "Grandfather."

"Oh!" Prince Yu answered quickly, with an excited look and unstoppable happiness.

When Prince Yu returned to the mansion yesterday, he naturally learned the truth about the death of Princess Nanhua from Princess Yu's wife.

He felt a mixture of guilt and regret. He hated himself for not insisting on finding out the truth, and he hated himself even more for shutting out his daughter's two children for so many years.

He had caused them a lot of suffering, and he really wanted to make up for it.

Xiao Yuanhuai was watching them from afar, and when he saw the old man and the young man shaking hands and making peace, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

This was the first time he saw Uncle Wang being humiliated. And Zhao Zhao, she deserved more people to love her.

The princess ordered people to send Shen Jiemin back to the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion, and also witnessed how Prince Yu sacrificed his reputation to apologize to Shen Baozhao.

He couldn't help but look at Shen Baozhao with higher regard.

When my father was alive, he couldn't do anything to my uncle, Prince Yu.

Uncle Wang was much younger than my father. Every time he got into trouble, no matter who he offended, he would run to the Qinzheng Hall and throw a tantrum without thinking.

The eldest princess has seen him several times, and he is not afraid of losing face in front of the younger generation. His father is really annoyed by his pestering, and he succeeds nine times out of ten.

Only once did I fail.

It was not long since my mother passed away, and the position of Empress Dowager was vacant. The court officials wrote to my father asking him to appoint a successor.

Because the current Queen Mother, Concubine Chun at that time had the highest rank and had given birth to a prince, so her voice was also the highest.

However, Uncle Prince Yu and the Queen Mother had a close relationship like that of siblings, and he had always looked down on Concubine Chun, thinking that she always acted like a girl from the Cui family.

When she heard that her father wanted to make Concubine Chun the empress, she had always been opposed to it.

But the government was no joke, and the court officials kept putting pressure on him, and my father couldn't stand it. No matter how Uncle Prince Yu tried to stop him, he eventually sent Concubine Chun to the throne.

Afterwards, the emperor legitimately became the legitimate son, which elevated his status for his later succession to the throne.

The eldest princess' eyes flickered slightly when she thought about this. Uncle Prince Yu was a rare person who still protected her after her mother's death.

The eldest princess is still grateful and has always been on good terms with Prince Yu’s Mansion.

With a big smile on her face, she said to Prince Yu: "Uncle Wang, you haven't been back to Beijing for a long time. I asked Nanny Li to leave you several jars of osmanthus wine, which will be loaded on a truck and sent to the palace later."

Prince Yu was still trying to please Shen Baozhao when he suddenly heard the eldest princess' voice. He felt a little embarrassed, but not much.

After all, the eldest princess had seen how he grew up throwing tantrums in the Qinzheng Palace.

Prince Yu was also very happy to see the princess. He stroked his moustache, put his hands behind his back and said, "Shuhui, it's hard for you to still miss me."

"Little Duan Ning has a very similar personality to yours." Prince Yu touched the head of Duan Ning County Lady and said meaningfully.

He was praising, not complaining.

In the study, Duan Ning didn't give his uncle any face at all, and was only interested in venting his anger for his good friend.

But Prince Yu was not angry at all because she could defend Shen Baozhao in this way.

The princess said politely, "Well, she is just a naughty girl. If she offends your uncle by speaking without restraint, please don't bother with her."

"It's okay. This is very good. She won't be bullied. This is how girls in our family should be." Prince Yu praised.

The eldest princess also reciprocated: "I like Miss Shen's quiet, elegant, and dignified personality. Just like Nanhua."

Speaking of the Princess of Nanhua County, Prince Yu's expression darkened and grief flashed in his eyes.

Shen Baozhao felt a little reluctant, so he changed the subject: "Grandfather and the eldest princess don't have to praise each other like this.

If you keep praising me like this, the sun will set soon."

Everyone laughed at what he said, and Prince Yu came back to his senses.

The princess took Shen Baozhao's hand and said sincerely, "Good boy, call me aunt from now on.

Just like Duan Ning, you should also treat the Princess's Mansion as your own home."

She was really satisfied with Shen Baozhao, especially the talent he showed today and his cleverness in turning defeat into victory for Feng Feiyan.

Shen Baozhao nodded.

The sun sets in the west, and the weary birds return to the forest. Prince Yu and Shen Baozhao both bid farewell to the princess.

Prince Yu originally planned to personally send Shen Baozhao back home, but was politely declined.

"My grandfather just returned to the capital yesterday, and he attended a banquet today, so he has not been able to rest.

You don’t have to send me off.”

Although Prince Yu looked young, he was actually quite old. He looked tired, and Shen Baozhao knew that he must be tired because he had returned to the capital as soon as he received the news.

Prince Yu felt very touched by Shen Baozhao's thoughtfulness.

This granddaughter is different from the other grandchildren in the family. They are all afraid of him, the prince, except Xiao Li.

He was just like Shen Baozhao, who only regarded him as the grandfather of an ordinary family rather than a prince who had served through three dynasties.

The more he looked at Shen Baozhao, the more satisfied he was with this granddaughter. Before leaving, he even told her, "Zhaozhao, come to the palace tomorrow. Grandfather has something to ask you."

Shen Baozhao understood the caution in Prince Yu's eyes and knew that it must be related to the matter of Princess Nanhua.

They nodded solemnly and went back home.
