Prince Dun's Mansion

Su Peisheng announced: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor has issued an edict:

The daughter of Prince Dun, Princess Qingcheng, is of virtuous character and self-possessed, her beauty is growing day by day, she is a nurtured immortal, and a treasure of splendor. She is now in her prime years, and is presented to you. With her gentle and graceful beauty, and her secret beauty, she is specially granted the title of Heshuo Princess and handed over to Hua Fei of the Yikun Palace for upbringing. This is my decree."

Prince Dun and his wife were very happy when they heard that their daughter was named a princess, but they were stunned when they heard the news that their daughter was brought to the palace.

Prince Dun had the most violent temper. He stood up and snatched the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Why are you bringing my daughter to the palace?"

This frightened Su Peisheng. "Oh my, Prince Dun, this is a crime of disrespect! He was brought to the palace and raised by the imperial concubine. This is the emperor's grace. How can you say this, Your Highness?"

Su Peisheng leaned close to Prince Dun again and whispered in his ear, "Besides, aren't you on the best terms with General Nian? It's better to have Concubine Hua raise him than to give him to anyone else, right?"

The wife of Prince Dun suddenly came to her senses. Indeed, it was better to hand it over to Concubine Hua than to anyone else.

If I give it to Yixiu, considering how the prince and I treated Yixiu in the past, my daughter will definitely suffer if she falls into her hands.

The couple could only accept the imperial edict reluctantly, but they were still confused in their hearts. Why did the emperor suddenly want to bring their daughter to the palace and let Concubine Hua raise her?

Wasn't Concubine Hua demoted to Nianpin by the Emperor some time ago for killing the dragon fetus?

Prince Dun did not realize that he had fallen into the emperor's counter-espionage scheme. He thought that Nian Gengyao and Concubine Hua were plotting against his family.

"Nian Gengyao, this shameless bastard! I treated him like a brother, but now he turns around and plots against me."

Prince Dun's wife asked, "Your Highness, are you saying that this was the idea of the Nian family?"

Prince Dun's face was full of anger. He wanted to rush to the Nian family and beat Nian Gengyao up.

"What else? This Nian Gengyao is really going too far. His own sister did something stupid and was demoted, but now he wants to use my daughter to curry favor with me. This matter will not be let go like this."

Prince Dun went to Nian Gengyao and had a big fuss. Nian Gengyao first explained to Prince Dun that it was definitely not him who did it, but Prince Dun had already made up his mind, so how could he believe it?

The two had a big fight and eventually parted on bad terms.

The next day, in the court, the two people's noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes.

Prince Dun accused Nian Gengyao of being proud of his achievements, and Nian Gengyao retaliated by accusing Prince Dun of being arrogant. Neither of them was willing to let the other go.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, and if there weren't so many ministers present, he would have laughed out loud.

When it comes to causing trouble, it has to be Su Chou!

I had just asked him a few simple questions, but I didn't expect Su Chou to come up with such a brilliant idea.

Yikun Palace

Concubine Hua was reinstated and now regained favor, but she was somewhat dissatisfied because she suddenly got a daughter for free.

Therefore, she was cold and indifferent to Princess Heshuo who had just moved into the palace. She even looked at the princess with a bit of criticism because of her brother.

Princess Heshuo had been very much loved at home since she was a child. How could she tolerate this nonsense? The two of them started quarreling as soon as they disagreed.

In a rage, Concubine Hua slapped Princess Heshuo hard.

"How dare you! This is the palace, how can you act like a spoiled brat? I am your adoptive mother now, and not only do you not show respect to me, you even dare to contradict me in public. Who taught you the rules?"

After being slapped, Princess Heshuo covered her face in shock, then looked at Concubine Hua and said viciously, "You are not my mother. My mother is the wife of Prince Dun. If you hadn't been vying for my favor, how could I have been separated from my father and mother?"

After saying this, Princess Heshuo covered her face and ran out crying.

Princess Heshuo's words just now undoubtedly greatly irritated Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua was so angry that she smashed many things. "What a joke, what a joke! The Emperor has always doted on me, and I need to adopt a child from outside to win his favor. What a joke!"

Seeing the princess run out, Songzhi realized that something was wrong. She cautiously advised, "Your Majesty, today is the princess' first day in the palace. If she runs out, I'm afraid she will be gossiped about!"

If Princess Heshuo had not said what she just said, Concubine Hua might have softened her temper and tried to appease her, but now Princess Heshuo had deeply angered Concubine Hua, and she no longer wanted to care about her.

"Let her be. I want to see if this princess can turn the tables."

Princess Heshuo was not a fool either. After she ran out of Yiku Palace, she went straight to Yixiu to complain, and she deliberately chose a time when many concubines were in Jingren Palace.

Princess Heshuo pointed to the slap marks on her face and cried, "Empress, Concubine Hua is so cruel! Qingcheng doesn't want to stay in Yikun Palace anymore. Qingcheng is so scared."

Yixiu almost laughed out loud when such a big handle was handed to her.

She immediately put on a loving expression, personally helped the princess up, and held her in front of her.

"It's truly pitiful. My dear child, this Concubine Hua has never been a mother, how could she be so cruel? The child is still young, even if there is something wrong, she shouldn't be so cruel. Jianqiu, quickly get the imperial ointment and wipe the princess's face, don't leave any scars."

Seeing this, the other concubines also echoed Yixiu's words, and they all belittled Hua Fei one after another.

"This Concubine Hua is really something. Look at how pitifully the princess is crying. Now, as a mother, I can't stand seeing this."

Concubine Jing was kind-hearted and loved children. Seeing the princess crying so sadly, she felt even more distressed.

Zhen Huan directly pointed out another crime of Concubine Hua, "Why doesn't the princess scare people when she goes out? What if something happens to the princess outside? What will happen then?"

Shen Meizhuang also said, "Yes, the Empress must report this matter to the Emperor. Fortunately, nothing happened to the princess today. If something had happened, how would the Emperor explain it to Prince Dun?"

Yixiu comforted Princess Heshuo and asked someone to bring many beautiful fabrics and jewelry from the Imperial Household Department to give to the princess.

Yixiu suddenly thought of her daughter Pingle. She rolled her eyes and said, "Invite Princess Pingle and tell her that Princess Qingcheng has arrived. It would be nice for the two sisters to play together."

There are some things that would make others wary if an adult said them, but if a child said them...
