Long Live the Empress

"But how can Aunt Su move now? Grandmother, can you give her a few days to recover?" Yue Jinghong looked at Aunt Su distressedly, cursing the old lady's ruthlessness in her heart! Jinglan Garden is the most remote courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. How can it be suitable for Aunt Su to recuperate?

Nanny Zhang's expression remained unchanged. "Second Miss, you should go ask the old lady yourself!" After saying that, she waved her hand and asked the maid to carry away Aunt Su.

Yue Jinghong was afraid of hurting Aunt Su so she didn't dare to do anything. She could only watch them carry Aunt Su away.

"Miss, let's go and beg the old lady!" Zhenzhu held Yue Jinghong's arm with tears on her face. If Aunt Su fell, her good days would be over!

"What's the point of begging that old woman! She always pretends to be compassionate and generous, but in fact, she is more ruthless than anyone else!" Yue Jinghong gritted her teeth and commented on the old lady, "Let's go to the study to see father, maybe there is still room for redemption!"

Yue Jinghong tidied her messy hair and let Zhenzhu help her go to the study.

Yue Hanwen had just been scolded by the old lady and was sulking in the study when he heard Yue Jinghong's hesitant voice outside the door, "Father...Father."

Yue Hanwen suddenly felt a headache. He also heard that Yue Jinghong had a fever. He was reluctant but still let her in. "You are not feeling well, just lie down in the room. Why are you getting up?"

Yue Jinghong knelt down with a plop, "My daughter begs father to consider that I have worked hard for the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years and not let me move... wuwu"

Yue Hanwen sighed, "Jinghong, I have no choice but to do this. The Ninth Prince personally reprimanded me. If our Prime Minister's Mansion does not do something, the consequences will not be something your father can bear..."

The light in Yue Jinghong's eyes dimmed. Her aunt had been strong for so many years and had wholeheartedly planned for her father, but in the end, she ended up being abandoned by her father.

Yue Hanwen looked at the lost Yue Jinghong with some reluctance, "Also, take all the furnishings in your room back to the warehouse. A concubine's daughter... a concubine's daughter should act like a concubine's daughter! And don't call her Qingyunyuan anymore..."

Yue Jinghong looked at Yue Hanwen in disbelief, and finally realized the feeling of power. Haha, she was the most talented woman in the capital, but she could not get rid of her status as a concubine's daughter! She really hated it!

The servants worked quickly and soon Qingyun Garden was emptied. Yue Jinghong looked up at the newly changed plaque "Suxin Garden", which sounded like a courtyard where concubines would live. Then she looked at her own room. Where was the former glory?

Yue Jinghao! It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could my aunt and I end up in such a miserable situation? Just wait, I will get everything back from you!

Meditation Tea House

The prince looked at the weak Yue Jinghong and hugged her in his arms with heartache.

Yue Jinghong buried her head in the prince's arms, unable to hold back her tears any longer, "Prince, what should I do from now on... from now on..."

The prince hugged her tightly, "Jinghong, my Lord... I can't move now, so I can only ask you to bear with it for now. The most important thing right now is tomorrow's exam. If you can win first place, I can take you to the palace to meet my mother..."

Even the Crown Prince can’t afford to offend the Ninth Thousand Years Old… Yue Jinghong was somewhat unwilling, but now all she could do was wait, “I will listen to the Crown Prince~”

The prince stroked Yue Jinghong's hair, and suddenly frowned as he looked at the silver hairpin in her hair, "Why are you dressed like this today..."

When this was mentioned, Yue Jinghong quickly covered the silver hairpin in embarrassment, "My elder sister told the Ninth Prince that I stole her limelight, so the Ninth Prince scolded me yesterday... Even... Even the furnishings in the yard were taken back to the warehouse by father..."

The prince was so angry that he smashed a teacup, "Yue Hanwen didn't even defend you at all?"

Yue Jinghong twisted her silk handkerchief and bit her lower lip, everything was self-explanatory. "Don't get angry, Prince. I am a concubine... As long as Big Sister is happy, I will..."

Yue Jinghao! The prince gnashed his teeth and silently recited this name in his heart. Such a jealous woman is not worthy of sitting in a high position!
