Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1166

Yun Xiyue knew he hadn't listened, but it was indeed too early, so she didn't continue. "Well, in the future, Your Majesty can't always favor Chang Le, otherwise I'm worried she'll become lawless."

"Yes, I understand."

He's just fooling himself.

Yun Xiyue snorted, "Have you forgotten me now that you have a daughter?"

"No," Murong Yu cried out in his heart, feeling utterly wronged.

“Ah Yue, I know you want to raise your child well, but we can’t be impatient.”

Seeing his nervous look, Yun Xiyue couldn't help but smile. "In short, Your Majesty should not spoil your children too much in the future."

"Yes, I'll do as you say. I'll be a loving father and a strict mother in front of my daughter, and a loving mother and a strict father in front of my son, okay?"

Yunxi Yue was speechless for a moment.

With Princess Qinghe no longer in the palace, things were indeed much quieter. The Empress Dowager no longer summoned the children to keep her company, nor did she mention comparing rewards.

She stayed alone in the Funing Palace.

She almost never left the palace. However, Zhang Chuhuan would often bring Princess Qinghe into the palace, and seemed to treat her quite well.

"Grandmother, my aunt is very kind to me. I really enjoy living at the Prince Rui's residence, but my uncle's family is so poor! My aunt is extremely frugal; she's reluctant to eat or dress nicely!"

The Empress Dowager felt heartbroken when she heard what the child said. She knew that Prince Rui's fiefdom had been taken away and his property had been confiscated. Now he was just a prince in name only.

If he made a mistake, the emperor would often punish him by deducting his salary.

They were naturally not wealthy.

The Empress Dowager immediately bestowed many gifts upon Princess Rui, as well as ten large gold ingots.

Zhang Chuhuan was overjoyed and immediately praised Qinghe, showing her great affection.

In the Prince's mansion, the young princess became the most favored, getting whatever she wanted.

She usually didn't want to study or do embroidery. At first, Zhang Chuhuan tried to discipline her, but she would cry and say she wanted to go back to Funing Palace.

Fearing the loss of this money, she immediately indulged her and stopped forcing her to learn this or that.

He didn't even learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; he just casually went through the motions.

All he knows is eating, drinking, and having fun; he beats and scolds his servants whenever he's unhappy.

The Empress Dowager was very pleased to see that Qinghe had become more lively and cheerful in the Prince's residence, and that her health had also improved.

But when it came to the academic exams, I was a little dissatisfied.

"Qinghe, don't you usually read and write? Look at Changle, who is younger than you, she can write, and she writes so neatly."

Qinghe was unhappy and started crying after being told off for a few words.

"Mother, Qinghe has been in poor health since childhood. She has been working very hard. Please don't blame her anymore," Zhang Chuhuan immediately defended her.

Qinghe cried in her arms.

The Empress Dowager felt sorry for Qinghe and didn't say much. "Qinghe, I'm doing this for your own good. Although you are a princess, you can't be inferior to Chang Le! Reading and writing are the most basic things. If you can't do them, people will laugh at you."

Qinghe felt embarrassed to lose to Changle, so she went back and studied hard, but she still slacked off. When she couldn't take the exams, she asked someone to write for her.

He was overjoyed to receive the Empress Dowager's praise.

......

"Mother, may I rest for a while?"

Yun Xiyue came over and said, "Why? You've only just started writing."

"I am a bit tired."

"Alright then! It's settled then. You can play today, but you have to finish writing these ten large characters. If you don't finish them, you'll have to write twenty tomorrow."

"I understand." After saying that, she immediately went to play.

Yunxi Yue felt helpless.

"Sister Qinghe, you've entered the palace. Have you finished writing your calligraphy?"

Qinghe said proudly, "I finished writing it a long time ago. Besides, I can even write poetry. My grandmother praised me and gave me many rewards!"

"Sister Qinghe is so amazing! How did you do that?!"

Chang Le and Xiao Duo looked at her with eyes full of admiration.

Qinghe was very pleased, saying, "I'm not as stupid as you guys, foolishly writing it myself. I had a servant write it for me."

"what!"

The two were stunned.

"But Mother said that one must do one's own things and cannot have others help one write large characters."

Qinghe scoffed, "That's why I say you're stupid."

Chang Le and Xiao Duo'er looked at each other in bewilderment.

By the time we got back, it was almost evening, time to take a shower and have dinner.
