After being married off by my younger sister, I took care of the sickly prince

Fu Xuanyu frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Jiang Yun, as if asking for her opinion.

Jiang Yun smiled gently, with curiosity and a hint of subtle amusement in her eyes, and said softly, "Since you're here, why not listen to what she has to say."

So the two of them ordered the palace maid to invite Grandma Gao in.

After a while, Nanny Gao walked into the side hall with small steps and a respectful look on her face. She bowed and said, "Greetings to Prince Chong'an and Princess Chong'an. I am here on the orders of the Empress to apologize to the Prince and Princess. I have already prepared a new gift for them."

Jiang Yun tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with concern. "Ah? An apology? Why is the Queen apologizing? Is it because of that fake headpiece?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of disgust flashed in Gao Ma's eyes, but she remained respectful, saying, "Today's incident was entirely due to my lack of discipline, which led to this mistake and caused the princess to suffer injustice. Your Majesty is deeply troubled, and has specially sent me here to apologize and present a better headpiece. I hope the princess will accept it and forget all about today's unpleasant events."

As she spoke, the maid behind Grandma Gao stepped forward and respectfully presented her with a carved wooden box.

Grandma Gao opened the box and found a headpiece made of purple jade and inlaid with rubies inside.

This headdress is carved from a whole piece of purple jade. The purple jade is as warm as the orchid in the night, exuding a faint, mysterious and noble atmosphere. The patterns carved on it are complicated and solemn, and matched with dazzling rubies, it is like stars falling into the deep night sky. The contrast is sharp and complements each other, with an incomparable gorgeous beauty.

It is obvious that the value of this headdress is many times higher than the previous one.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly, personally reaching out to take the wooden box, and said, "You're too polite, Ma'am. What happened today was just a misunderstanding. We don't take it to heart. Please also tell the Queen not to worry."

Grandma Gao watched Jiang Yun hold the box tightly in her arms. A trace of reluctance flashed across her eyes. Upon hearing this, she said, "Princess, you are so generous. I will convey your gratitude on your behalf. In addition, your Majesty hopes that the prince and princess will come to Jingren Palace often when they are free to enjoy the joy of family life together."

Jiang Yun smiled slightly, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "Of course, I will go with the prince to visit the queen some other day."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Gao felt relieved and quickly bowed and took her leave, leaving in a hurry with her maid.

After Grandma Gao disappeared outside the door, Fu Xuanyu said softly, "Ayun, there's no need to be so polite to her people. The way she treated you today was definitely not unintentional."

Jiang Yun nodded, a playful smile on her lips: "Of course, she did this just to show off to the Emperor, but... who doesn't?"

Fu Xuanyu's eyes were deep as he said, "Whatever her purpose is, we must be careful and not take it lightly."

Jiang Yun chuckled, with a confident light in her eyes: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Just as the two of them finished their whispered conversation, they heard the eunuch's announcement from outside.

"The emperor is here!"

The two looked at each other, Jiang Yun stood up and walked behind Fu Xuanyu, pushing his wheelchair slowly to the door of the side hall.

Fu Ming happened to be approaching from outside.

The two men saluted Fu Ming respectfully.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father. Long live my father. Long live my father."

"The daughter-in-law pays homage to the emperor, father. Long live the emperor."

Fu Ming waved his hand and said, "Stand up and go back to sit down. You must be hungry after wasting so much time!"

Jiang Yun pushed Fu Xuanyu and followed Fu Ming, slowly walking back until they returned to the table and sat down.

Fu Xuanyu then said, "My son and I both had breakfast at the mansion before coming here, so we are not hungry yet."

Jiang Yun followed suit.

The more Fu Ming looked at his well-behaved daughter-in-law, the more he liked her.

It wasn't until he saw the wooden box next to Jiang Yun that the smile on his face faded. He looked at the wooden box and said calmly, "Is this a new one from the Queen?"

Jiang Yun followed his gaze to the wooden box beside her, nodded, and said, "In reply to your Majesty, this is the purple jade and ruby ​​headpiece that the Empress specially sent as compensation to her daughter-in-law."

Fu Ming nodded and said, "Well, your mother was deceived, which is why you suffered this injustice. I will prepare some more precious tonics for you to take back to the palace."

Jiang Yun was secretly delighted, and then thought that the Nanny Chen they brought with them should also be able to play a role.

Sure enough, just as she thought of this, a young eunuch came with some people.

He first bowed to everyone one by one, and then looked at the Prince and Princess Chong'an with a nervous look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Fu Ming, who was sitting in the first seat, saw his expression and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch knelt hurriedly on the ground and said with a frightened look, "The person brought by the prince and princess is dying. Please give us instructions so that we can deal with it."

Fu Ming's frown deepened.

"Who's dying?"

When Fu Xuanyu saw this scene, he thought of the words that Jiang Yun had just whispered in Jinzhong's ear when she stopped him.

A smile flickered in his eyes. His princess was really vindictive!

Jiang Yun feigned shock, looked at the eunuch, and said, "No? Didn't I tell you to hand him over to the Empress?"

As soon as Fu Ming heard the word "Queen", he knew that this might be related to Si Wan again.

His face darkened, and he looked at Fu Xuanyu and asked, "Xiaoyu, what on earth is going on?"

Fu Xuanyu lowered his eyes, looking dejected as he recounted the incident of Nanny Chen stealing Jiang Yun's jewelry during the chaos last night. Not a single word in his words implied that Nanny Chen was arrogant or domineering, but between the lines, he was saying how Nanny Chen, relying on the Empress's backing, didn't take the people in Chong'an Palace seriously...

"How dare you!!!" Fu Ming slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Slaves who bully their masters like this should be beaten to death!"

Fu Xuanyu was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Madame Chen is the Empress's person after all. I think it's better to let you handle it personally."

Jiang Yun also spoke up at the right time to make the final move.

"I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but Nanny Chen took my mother's belongings, so I can't just pretend nothing happened."

Fu Xuanyu held Jiang Yun's hand distressedly, looked at Fu Ming and continued, "Although I am ill now, I don't want my princess to be bullied by a servant, so I punished her with a cane."

After he finished speaking, he coughed lightly a few times.

These coughs made Fu Ming feel even more distressed.

He looked at Fu Xuanyu with concern, but Fu Xuanyu forced a smile at Fu Ming, "Father, I'm fine. Now that I know it wasn't Mother's fault, I have no regrets."
