Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

After breakfast, Lu Chenxiao, who was not happy at all, went out to get busy.

Meng Yunshang accompanied Huai'an in the room to review his lessons, and Dangui came in carrying a small red clay stove.

As he walked, he said, "Princess, I heard that Eunuch Shun died."

Meng Yunshang paused while flipping through the book, "How did he die?"

That day, Emperor Yuanqing did not deal with Eunuch Shun immediately, so she guessed that Emperor Yuanqing had deep feelings for Eunuch Shun.

After returning home, Lu Chenxiao told them that when the late emperor was still alive, Eunuch Shun had given them brothers a lot of conveniences.

Because of this, he gained their trust, and after Emperor Yuan Qing ascended the throne, he always kept him by his side.

But in the end, it was this person who had high hopes for him who hurt him the most.

Life is unpredictable, and the world is even more unpredictable.

Dangui had no idea what she was thinking, and continued to mutter in a sighing tone.

"I heard that he died by hitting his head against a pillar in prison. Before he died, he wrote a letter in blood to the emperor, saying that he felt guilty towards the emperor, but he had no regrets because he wanted to protect someone who was more important than his life."

"If you ask me, the most unreliable thing in this world is love. Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been hurt by true love. It's ridiculous that Eunuch Shun has lived in the deep palace for a long time and still believes in such illusory things."

Meng Yunshang put down the book and asked Dangui in a quiet tone, "Do you think love is an illusory thing?"

"It is just illusory! Just like Eunuch Shun, he has no roots. If he has always been loyal and dedicated to the emperor, the emperor will definitely not treat him unfairly."

"But he was not satisfied. He chose to put his life and death aside for a woman, and even betrayed the emperor, which led to his own loss of integrity. Such a person is really stupid."

She said it with great righteousness, and looked insensitive to emotional rejection, which made Meng Yunshang laugh and cry.

"When you find someone you really like, maybe you won't say that."

"No way. Even if I really like someone one day, I can't make him more important than the princess."

"Who did you learn this from? You've already put honey on your lips after not seeing you for a few days?"

"Hey, Princess, you've discovered it."

Dan Gui scratched his head in a simple manner, "Actually, I didn't learn it on purpose. It's just that I saw many women of Lu Yuanjing trying to please Guo Yue when I was wearing Lu Qiao's face before, so I wanted to imitate her."

The corners of Meng Yunshang's mouth twitched slightly.

"Can the way Lu Yuanjing's concubine and Guo Yue get along with each other be applied to us?"

Dangui subconsciously retorted, "Of course not."

Facing Meng Yunshang's indescribable look, she quickly knelt down and explained, "I am just curious, Princess, please don't misunderstand me."

"I promise that I have no thoughts about the prince. The prince has always thought that I am stupid and often doesn't even want to look at me."

Meng Yunshang: “…”

Apart from anything else, she has a very high level of self-awareness.

"Okay, I don't doubt your loyalty, I just want to remind you not to talk nonsense in the future, let alone make comparisons."

Dan Gui decisively stated, "Okay, I'll remember that."

"You have done a great job replacing Lu Qiao this time. Just let me know what reward you want."

"Can you say anything?"

"I can promise you anything within my ability."

"Then Princess, can you find a way to get me a piece of black iron stone? It doesn't have to be top quality, just an average quality one."

"Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye on it and tell you when there's any news. Also, the prince got a few good horses not long ago. If you want one, let Lu Kang take you to pick one."

"Thank you, Princess. I'll pick it this afternoon."

"By the way, have someone tell Song Jingjing that Lu Qiao was instructed by Guo Yue to do more harm than good to Lu Yuankang at a critical moment."

After the plan of Lu Yuanjing and his mother was exposed, Princess Shun'an brought several royal relatives into the palace to plead for the heir of Prince Yu's Mansion.

On the pretext of praying for the empress dowager, they merely removed the plaque of the palace but did not drive anyone out of the house.

Guo Yue thus escaped disaster.

However, all properties under the name of Prince Yu were confiscated, including the southwestern fiefdom.

Today, Prince Yu's Mansion has been renamed Lu Mansion. Without any source of income or expenditure, Guo Yue had to start laying off the maids and servants in the mansion.

The supplies in Song Jingjing's hospital were reduced again and again.

If she knew that Guo Yue was responsible for the situation, she would definitely make a fuss.

How will Guo Yue respond then?

Also, knowing that Lu Yuanjing was rescued, Guo Yue would definitely be unable to contain herself.

Then Huai'an's plan will come in handy.

Dan Gui praised, "Princess, you are really smart. Did you think this far ahead when you asked Ling Yu to change my appearance for me?"

Meng Yunshang did not act arrogantly and said calmly, "Think ten steps ahead, look more and think more, and you will always gain something."

Dangui sighed silently, no wonder she was not a princess.

Because she is lucky enough to think one step ahead while taking it. It is impossible for her to think ten steps ahead while taking one step.

Around noon, the butler came to report, "There is a lady who calls herself Su Yanran at the door, and she is asking to see you with her son. Princess, do you want to see her?"

Meng Yunshang was peeling walnut kernels for Huai'an and did not express her opinion when she heard this.

Huai'an frowned in confusion, "Han Yongning? What happened to him?"

Meng Yunshang said in a calm tone, "Han Yi took advantage of your father's misfortune and said a lot of bad things about him behind his back. The emperor thought he had bad behavior and wanted him to go to Xining to hone his skills for a few more years."

It is a tempering, not permanent exile.

If Han Yi can calmly repent and reform, he will still have a chance to return to the capital in the future.

"He did something wrong, so it's right for the Emperor to punish him. Because a man without trust cannot stand, and a country without law cannot be stable."

"Does An An want to see Han Yongning?"

Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet. After all, Xining is a long way away, and I don't know when we will meet again."

Meng Yunshang supported his idea.

"Danqiu, bring that fox fur cape for the prince, and Lingyin, go get another hot water bottle."

"Mother, it's better to have a cloak. It's too troublesome to hold the hot water bottle in your hands."

Meng Yunshang had no choice but to obey him.

After the mother and son were dressed, they went to the front yard together.

*

In the front hall.

Su Yanran felt very uneasy. Although the maid who was waiting beside her was not disrespectful to her, she still felt very uncomfortable.

I always feel that I don't fit in this magnificent palace.

Han Yongning couldn't sit still and had already looked through all the furnishings in the hall.

"Mom, why hasn't Huai'an come yet? Does he not want to see us?"

Ever since the news of his father's demotion spread, the home, which was not lively to begin with, has become even more deserted.

His good friends in the school no longer paid any attention to him, even Yulan from next door stopped talking to him.

Not to mention at home, my grandmother complained and cursed all day long, and my father sighed from morning to night.

He was so afraid that Huai'an would ignore him.

If possible, he didn't want to lose Huai'an as a friend.

"Ning'er, you can't call the prince by his name in front of him anymore."

No matter whether it was the former Prince of Heng or the current His Royal Highness Prince Rui, they were both beyond their reach.

Even though Yongning was once a classmate and good friend of his, he still had to be polite.

"Why, I've always called him that. And I don't think Huai'an would be angry. Names are meant to be addressed."

"No reason. Just do as mother says. If you still want to stay in the capital and still want to be good friends with him."

Su Yanran's following words carried obvious instructions.

Han Yongning was shocked by her appearance, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
