Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

The carriage stopped in front of Prince Heng's mansion, and Danqiu helped Meng Yunshang get off.

A slightly unfamiliar voice sounded beside my ears, "This servant greets Princess Heng. The Queen invites you."

Danqiu whispered to Meng Yunshang, "It's Aunt Fang who is beside the Queen."

Meng Yunshang nodded lightly and looked at Aunt Fang indifferently.

As the chief maid in Fengyi Palace, she was very outstanding.

But Meng Yunshang's deep impression of her came from a few years ago.

At that time, she had just become pregnant, and the Queen Mother summoned her to the palace to give her some instructions.

Under the pretext of sharing her burden, Empress Chen wanted to give women to Lu Chenxiao, including Rufang, the little maid in Fengyi Palace.

Although she didn't like Lu Chenxiao at that time, she also didn't like irrelevant people interfering in the affairs of her mansion, so she refused without hesitation in front of the empress dowager.

Empress Chen was very angry and accused the empress dowager of being narrow-minded and intolerant. She also said that as the principal wife, it was her responsibility and obligation to take a concubine for her husband.

The Queen Mother favored Empress Chen and treated her in a sarcastic manner.

At that time, she had just returned to Beijing from the northwest and was forced to accept a marriage she didn't like. She was young and hot-tempered and didn't want to suffer any grievances. After being bullied by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she not only overturned the table in Kunning Palace, but also pointed her sword at Rufang and others.

The empress dowager therefore accused her of being rude and undisciplined, and Empress Chen even instigated Emperor Yuan Qing to order Lu Chenxiao to divorce his wife.

But she was not afraid of divorce at all, and even hoped to draw a clear line between herself and Lu Chenxiao.

So when Lu Chenxiao said categorically that he would never divorce his wife or take a concubine, she was not as happy as she had imagined.

Instead, she vented all the grievances she had suffered in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress on him.

As a result of the commotion, the baby in her belly was almost lost, and Lu Chenxiao stayed at home for several days.

The commotion was too loud, and in order not to damage the friendship between the two brothers, the empress dowager set up a Buddhist temple in Kunning Palace to pray for the unborn child. Emperor Yuanqing also ordered Empress Chen, the instigator, to reflect on her mistakes in seclusion.

In this way, she and Empress Chen had a grudge against each other. Later, she never attended any occasions where Empress Chen was present.

A few years later, Empress Chen took the initiative to come to the door and asked Rufang to invite people. It seemed that she came with bad intentions.

Meng Yunshang said calmly, "The Empress and I have different ideals and cannot work together. There is no need for me to go into the palace to chat."

As she said this, she walked around Rufang and continued walking towards the palace.

Rufang was anxious and stepped forward to stop her, "The Queen sincerely invites you, Princess Heng, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this."

"How dare you! How can a mere maid like you touch my princess?"

Dangui stepped forward and pushed Rufang's hand away. Danqiu and the guards at the gate of the palace all stared at Rufang with unfriendly eyes.

Rufang gritted her teeth and explained, "The Queen sent me to invite Princess Heng to the palace for a small gathering."

Dan Gui laughed, "If the Queen can invite our princess to enter the palace, our princess can naturally refuse."

Since they were sisters-in-law, they naturally could not be judged by the imperial power. Dangui's words left Rufang no room to vent.

Seeing that Meng Yunshang was about to step into the palace, he knew that his mission might not be completed.

Rufang anxiously took out the token given by the Queen from her sleeve pocket and said loudly, "The Queen has ordered that Princess Heng come to the palace as soon as possible."

Meng Yunshang stopped and looked at the token in Rufang's hand with narrowed eyes.

After a while, she chuckled and said, "Since it is the Queen's decree, then I will go with you. After all, I cannot bear the charge of disobeying the Queen's order."

Seeing that she agreed to enter the palace, Rufang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time a hint of contempt flashed across her eyes.

No matter how arrogant you are at other times, you still have to be obedient and behave yourself when facing the Queen.

But why is Meng Yunshang still walking towards the palace?

"What does Princess Heng mean? Are you trying to go back on your word?"

Meng Yunshang said in a light tone, "Aunt Fang, you are joking. I haven't seen the emperor's sister-in-law for a long time. I have to dress up well to be worthy of the emperor's sister-in-law's kind invitation."

There is nothing wrong with this. Of course one has to dress according to one's rank when entering the palace for an audience.

But Rufang always felt that the look Meng Yunshang gave her before she entered the door was somewhat meaningful.

She soon found out why.

Because Meng Yunshang went back home to change clothes, she was not invited into the palace to wait, but was locked outside the door.

There were no tables or chairs at the door, so no one could sit. The carriage was pulled to the back door by the servants to add fodder.

Rufang could only walk back and forth in front of the threshold.

I thought Meng Yunshang would come out soon, but after an hour, there was still no sign of Meng Yunshang.

Moreover, the palace behind the door was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and no one paid any attention to her.

Rufang began to realize that something was wrong.

She asked the doorman to go to the mansion to ask Meng Yunshang when she could leave, but the doorman ignored her.

Rufang was anxious and angry. She angrily scolded the doorman with a stern face, "I am a lady-in-waiting in the Queen's palace. You dare to ignore me? Aren't you afraid that the Queen will punish you?"

Unexpectedly, the doorman glanced at her with disdain and slowly said, "I am the captain of a thousand men under the command of the prince, and I will only follow the orders of the prince."

"You!" Rufang stomped her feet in anger, but it was of no use.

Because even the emperor would not easily mobilize the soldiers under Prince Heng, let alone that she was just a female official in Fengyi Palace.

But she didn't expect that even the doorman in Prince Heng's mansion held an official position.

She also thought about how five years ago, the Queen Mother intended to give her to Prince Heng as a concubine.

But in the end, because of that bitch Meng Yunshang, not only did the marriage fail, but the queen was also punished.

And she became a laughing stock in the palace.

Thinking about all the grievances she had suffered in the palace over the years, all caused by that bitch Meng Yunshang, she wished she could rush into the palace and beat Meng Yunshang up.

But she couldn't ruin the Empress's plans.

Another hour passed, and Meng Yunshang still didn't come out.

Rufang's legs were shaking from fatigue from walking back and forth.

She tried to push open the door of the palace, but found that the door did not move at all, obviously it was locked from the inside.

Rufang was angry and annoyed, and finally she just sat down on the doorstep.

Inside the mansion, Meng Yunshang was leisurely eating fruit yogurt.

I felt very happy when I heard Dangui coming over from time to time to report Rufang's miserable condition.

At this time, Danqiu came to ask, "It's getting late, Princess, do you want to have lunch before entering the palace?"

"Comb my hair, and let's go to Fengyi Palace for lunch."

"Okay, Princess."

Danqiu works efficiently and never talks much.

Dangui, on the other hand, asked Meng Yunshang curiously, "Rufang is not a good person to talk to. We have left her alone for so long. What if she complains to the Queen?"

Meng Yunshang chuckled, "I was just worried that she wouldn't complain to the Queen."

If she guessed correctly, Empress Chen came to see her because of what happened at the school gate in the morning.

Chen Nuo was at fault first, and it was Lu Chenxiao who ordered the beating of Chen Guojiu. Even if Queen Chen wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to control her, she didn't dare to go too far from morning to night because she was worried about Lu Chenxiao.

But what if Rufang was targeted and plotted against in Prince Heng’s Mansion?

Empress Chen was not a magnanimous and kind person, and she would never tolerate her sisters-in-law being disrespectful to her.

What she wanted was Queen Chen's anger and loss of composure.
