Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

"Your elder sister..........."

Sure enough it was him.

Shen Wanqing sneered in her heart. No wonder she treated herself like this. It turned out that her precious daughter was bullied.

"Last time, your elder sister brought back some jewelry, including a pair of nine-dragon phoenix hairpins. She said they belonged to the future queen. She probably didn't know the significance of the hairpins, so she took them back. Now, they were passed on to the prince by two children in the prince's mansion. The prince was furious and confined her to the courtyard, not allowing her to go out."

So that’s what happened.

When Shen Wanru brought her belongings back to the mansion, she had anticipated this day. The women in the Prince's mansion were bound to tamper with her belongings. She said she wouldn't take them, but the things actually appeared in the mansion.

They were just a pair of inconspicuous phoenix hairpins. Although they belonged to the queen, she had never worn them. Moreover, the prince only confined her to the yard, which meant that the prince did not care about her.

To put it in a big way, it is the matter of the Eastern Palace, but to put it in a small way, it is also a family matter. As long as it is a family matter, it should be discussed behind closed doors and there is no need to spread it outside. After all, Shen Wanru has a huge mansion behind her, and the prince will not bother with her for the sake of the mansion's face.

However, for Shen Wanru, she would definitely fall out of favor if she did not have a perfect plan this time, so she brought the news out regardless of Su's frail body.

This was Shen Wanru's own fault, so it had nothing to do with her. Su Shi even let her vent her anger, which was really unreasonable.

Shen Wanqing was unhappy and comforted Su with a few words in a perfunctory manner.

The more Su thought about it, the more worried she became. "Your elder sister's status in the Eastern Palace is not high to begin with, and with so many women in the Eastern Palace's backyard, her life is already difficult. If she is disliked by the Crown Prince, her future will probably be even more difficult. Do you have any good ideas to prevent her from falling out of favor?"

Shen Wanqing almost laughed. Why would Shen Wanru ask her to clean up her mess whenever she was unhappy? What kind of place was that? It was the Eastern Palace. Su Shi really thought too highly of herself.

"What are you talking about, mother? That's the Eastern Palace. Not everyone can get their hands in there." Shen Wanqing's face was full of impatience, but she still managed to hold her temper. "The prince didn't punish her, he just put her under house arrest. He'll let her out in a few days. Don't think too much about it, mother."

After a lot of nice words, Su was finally comforted. She stopped making a fuss and finally calmed down.

When we came out of Wutong Courtyard, it was already dark and we had missed dinner time.

Jing'er brought the warm lotus seed porridge and couldn't help complaining, "Madam, how can you be so mean? It's clearly time for dinner, but you still won't let Miss come back. It would be nice if you could have someone send Miss some snacks or something."

Not to mention eating in Wutong Courtyard, even having a few snacks to fill your stomach would be nice.

Shen Wanqing sipped the lotus seed porridge and said calmly, "Why would I bother with her?"

The more he argued with her, the more sad she would be. It was better not to think about it. He would treat her the way Su treated him.

Looking at her frail appearance, it seems that this illness is very serious. She has done everything she should and shouldn't do. The rest depends on her own luck.

After eating a small bowl of porridge, she lay down on the chair to rest.

Jing'er and Tao'er went to prepare hot water for Shen Wanqing. Only Linglong was by her side.

The night breeze was soft and gentle. Shen Wanqing exhaled lightly, "Linglong, spread the news that Shen Wanru secretly kept the Nine Dragon Phoenix Hairpin."

Rumors soon spread and the palace also received the news.

"She wants to die herself but she doesn't want to drag the prince down with her. What a jerk."

The queen was so angry that her face turned blue, and she immediately ordered Shen Wanru to be brought to her palace.

Shen Wanru has been under house arrest these days. She was hoping that Su would find a way to rescue her and help her regain the prince's favor. However, because she was under house arrest, the news did not reach her ears.

When someone came to the Queen's palace, she thought they were letting her out. She thought she could finally turn things around, so she dressed up and went into the palace.

When she appeared in the Queen's Palace in a glamorous outfit, the Queen's face turned green and she was furious. "Is this how you admit your mistakes?"

"May your Majesty the Queen be well." Shen Wanru knelt down and saluted.

The queen slammed the table and shouted coldly, "Kneel down."

Don't forget your identity. You are just a child in the Eastern Palace, yet you still dream of calling me the Queen Mother. It seems that the rumor is true, and her intentions are obvious.

Shen Yunlan's two daughters really have problems with their brains.

One could have been a concubine in the Eastern Palace, but she insisted on marrying into the General's Mansion. The other, though beautiful, was as dumb as a pig and could only do such shameful things.

Thinking of this, the queen's face was full of displeasure.

Although Shen Wanru was just a little girl in the Prince's Eastern Palace, she had the support of the Shen Hou Mansion, and the Prince still needed the power of the Mansion. It was reasonable for her to give this Shen girl some face.

The Queen suppressed her anger and spoke in a calmer tone, "I know that the boy's rank is a little low for you, but even if it's low, you can raise it when you have an heir. You're smart and should understand the logic behind this. More haste makes waste, and blindly forcing things will only backfire. Don't you think that's unreasonable?"

The rank of a Confucian scholar was not too low, second only to that of a Consort. As long as she behaved herself and did not behave like a spoiled child, even if she lost the Crown Prince's favor, she could still secure a position as a concubine in the harem with the influence of the Marquis's Mansion, which would be a great honor.

As for the position of Crown Princess, with the current situation, it is not something she can imagine.

The Queen's meaning was very clear, and it was precisely because she understood it that she felt even more unwilling.

She herself had no idea what was going on with the pair of nine-dragon phoenix hairpins. She had clearly carefully checked everything she brought back home, so how could a phoenix hairpin have appeared? Thinking about it now, she still couldn't figure it out, but she was certain someone was framing her.

But now that the prince has discovered it and brought it to the attention of the queen, she can’t explain herself even if she has ten mouths.

Fortunately, although the Queen gave some reasonable advice, she did not blame herself in the end. Shen Wanru suppressed her resentment, bowed, and accepted the Queen's admonition.

Seeing that she was sensible, the queen didn't say anything more and just waved her hand and let her go back.

Shen Wanru just stood up and prepared to take her leave.

At this time, the eunuch beside the emperor came and said that the emperor asked the queen to bring Shen Wanru to the emperor for an audience.

It seems that the emperor knew about Shen Wanru's visit this time. The queen was worried about how much the emperor knew.

The queen packed up briefly and took Shen Wanru to the imperial study.
