Chapter 44: My Years as a Maid 5
Three days later, the empress issued an edict, ordering the eldest princess to attend classes in the Shangshufang.
Zhao Yunru's performance in class was very mediocre, and because of his mediocre qualifications, he was not popular among the female officials.
A month passed like this, and everyone in the palace knew that the eldest princess was a piece of useless wood.
As for the name of the eldest princess, after Yun Chu's manipulation, she was given the name Zhao Yunru.
"Yunyun, is there any way to get a teacher into the palace? I already knew what the female officials are teaching me when I was three years old."
This completely delayed her learning progress.
"Grand Princess, this is not easy to do. Besides, she may not be willing to let Mr. Yu hide in the palace."
"However, the eldest princess can write a letter to Mr. Yu and ask her to live in the outer city of Kyoto. Then, after nightfall, I can send her out of the palace to study with me for an hour or two."
“I’ll write it right away.”
The letter was delivered to Yu Zhongxian on the second day, and Yu Zhongxian of course agreed.
On that day, Yu Zhongxian moved to the outer city, and the house was of course bought by Yun Chu.
Yun Chu bought fifteen houses in the outer city, located in the four directions of east, south, west and north.
Ten of the houses are occupied by the eldest princess's people. Some were left by Queen Feng, and some were people who were adopted or bought over the past eight years.
The remaining five sets are idle.
Yun Chu arranged a three-courtyard apartment for Yu Zhongxian to live in, and also arranged some servants and guards for him.
That night, Yun Chu sent the eldest princess to Yu Zhongxian to study for two hours.
After the study, Yun Chu brought him back to the palace.
In a blink of an eye, another seven years passed. The eldest princess Zhao Yunru was fifteen years old, the second princess Zhao Anzhi was fourteen years old, the eldest prince Zhao Taicheng was fourteen years old, the third princess Zhao Tianwan was thirteen years old, and the fourth princess Zhao Baoyue was ten years old.
Of course, the empress also has other princes and princesses, but they are still young.
As the princess grew up, many officials in the court proposed to make her the crown princess.
The most popular candidate is, of course, the third princess. The third princess has been extremely intelligent since childhood, and she is also a legitimate daughter.
Although she doesn't have a big share, but who can blame the eldest princess for being a useless person?
For the future of Qiongyu Kingdom, of course the third princess should be made the heir.
"You are so eager for me to appoint a crown princess. Do you think I am no longer capable?" The empress said coldly, scanning the ministers with sharp eyes.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. We dare not." The ministers knelt down one after another and pleaded guilty.
"Dismiss the court." The empress flicked her sleeves and left.
The ministers were still kneeling, and it was only after a long while that they stood up.
"Prime Minister, what should we do? His Majesty seems angry."
Prime Minister Situ Yu said expressionlessly: "So what if you are angry? The law cannot punish everyone."
"The Crown Princess must be appointed. Please continue to make the request tomorrow." Your Majesty must be forced to appoint a Crown Princess.
Your Majesty is already thirty-four years old, and in a few years he will be forty. If anything happens to Your Majesty, the Qiongyu Kingdom will inevitably be in turmoil.
For the future of Qiongyu Kingdom, the Crown Princess must be established.
After two months of continuous requests for the appointment of the Grand Princess, the empress finally agreed to appoint the Crown Princess. To everyone's surprise, the empress actually wanted to appoint the eldest princess, Zhao Yunru.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. The eldest princess has mediocre qualifications. How can she become the grand princess?" Taiwei Ou Shihong was the first to object.
Prime Minister Situ Yu followed closely behind and said, "Your Majesty, although the eldest princess is the legitimate daughter and the eldest daughter, she is not talented enough. How can she help the Qiongyu Kingdom to grow and develop?"
"Moreover, the eldest princess' horoscope is not compatible with the Qiong Yu Kingdom. If she is made the crown princess, the Qiong Yu Kingdom will surely decline." Situ Yu did not directly say that the eldest princess was a disaster.
But I still have to remind the empress that the eldest princess is a disaster star. If she becomes a disaster star, how can the Qiong Yu Kingdom be safe?
Several ministers from the six ministries also stood up to oppose it.
The empress wanted to make Zhao Yunru the Grand Princess because she felt that this daughter had mediocre qualifications and would not affect her throne.
The empress was unwilling to accept her old age, and she was very obsessed with power. She wanted to stay in this position until she died.
After hearing what the prime minister said, the empress's face fell. She could not make her eldest daughter the heir because she was a disaster star. Although nothing had happened to her in the past ten years, what if she really was a disaster star?
What if it affects Qiong Yu Kingdom?
"We will discuss this matter later."
Seeing that the empress had changed her mind, the ministers stopped pressing the issue. Now the empress had already thought of enthroning the princess as the crown prince, and it would happen sooner or later.
Half a month later, the empress appointed the third princess Zhao Tianwan as the crown princess.
Zhao Yunru became Prince Ru, and was granted a fiefdom, a palace, and three thousand soldiers. The second princess became Prince An, and was also granted a fiefdom, a palace, and three thousand soldiers.
Zhao Yunru didn't care at all about the empress making the third princess the crown princess.
Zhao Yunru saw through the empress clearly. She was so obsessed with power that she would never abdicate.
Now that she's the crown princess, she's a target.
She was quite happy that someone became a target.
The most important thing is that she became a princess, and she could move out of the palace and go to her fiefdom.
Although her fiefdom was in Yongkang County and the conditions were not very good, she didn't care. Only after she left the palace could she better cultivate her own power.
The next day, Zhao Yunru went to the North Camp and asked for three thousand soldiers.
"Greetings, Prince Ru." General An Baoshan of the Northern Camp welcomed him respectfully.
"General An, there is no need to be so polite." Zhao Yunru helped the man up and continued, "General An also knows why I came here."
"The Queen Mother has granted me a fiefdom and I must leave the capital within seven days, so I am here to ask for three thousand soldiers so that I can lead them to leave the capital and head to the fiefdom."
An Baoshan nodded and said, "I understand, Prince. Please follow me."
An Baoshan took Zhao Yunru into the North Camp, and then assigned three thousand soldiers to Zhao Yunru.
Among these three thousand soldiers, one thousand are already old veterans, another one thousand are new recruits, and the remaining one thousand are just slackers in the barracks, not working hard in training, and are troublemakers.
Seeing these soldiers, Zhao Yunru's face was very calm, she had already expected it.
An Baoshan is the second sister's aunt, what good soldiers can she give her?
The second sister went to the South Camp to recruit soldiers. The general of the South Camp is the third sister's aunt. The second sister has a backer to support her, so the soldiers she gets may be better than hers.
"Thank you, General An. General An, I will take these people away now."
"Follow the prince."
Zhao Yunru looked at the three thousand people and said loudly, "Pack your things now and follow me."
"I'm not leaving to go to Yongkang County." The troublemaker Luan Luo shouted.
"Bang" the next moment, Luan Luo was kicked away by Yun Chu.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Chu stepped on Luan Luo again, "Only the dead can not go, do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
Yun Chu looked at Luan Luo with a smile. In Luan Luo's eyes, that smile was as terrifying as it could be.
Luan Luo swallowed and said, "I want to live, I want to live, please spare my life, sir."
Yun Chu moved his feet and glanced at the others, "Is there anyone else who doesn't want to go?"
"No." Everyone said in unison.
"Well, not bad." Yun Chu nodded with satisfaction.
An Baoshan looked at Yun Chu with sharp eyes. This was actually the maid of the eldest princess or something, and her martial arts skills were stronger than hers!
There is such a talent around the eldest princess. It's really a mistake.
It was Zhao Yunru's instruction that Yun Chu exposed his martial arts.
First, it could intimidate the three thousand soldiers, and second, if she was on the way to Yongkang County, Queen Feng, Huang Guijun and others would send assassins or shadow guards to kill her.
They also have to consider whether there is a maid with strong martial arts skills by her side and whether their assassination will be useful.
Zhao Yunru left with three thousand soldiers.
