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

Chapter 1168

But Murong Yu still found out.

"Father."

After finishing his work, Murong Yu returned from the Imperial Study and first went to the side hall to see his daughter.

"Why isn't Chang Le asleep yet? And what's wrong with your eyes?"

Murong Yu felt a pang of heartache. He could tell his daughter had been crying, and he assumed that he had been too busy to spend time with her lately, which was why she was secretly crying like this.

Quickly pull the person into your arms.

"Father, Chang Le was naughty today and did something wrong that made Mother angry." Chang Le nestled in her arms and told her what had happened that day.

She only cries because she realizes she made a mistake today.

Murong Yu hugged her tenderly, "Chang Le knows her mistakes and corrects them; she's still a very good child. This matter isn't entirely your fault."

"Won't Father Emperor dislike Chang Le?"

Murong Yu grabbed him, "Why do you say that?"

"Because Chang Le turned into a bad child..."

Murong Yu kissed her forehead. "Chang Le will always be a truly good daughter. If you don't like writing large characters, you don't have to write them anymore."

Fortunately, Yunxiyue wasn't there.

Otherwise I'll get angry with him again.

After appeasing the little princess, Murong Yu got up and went to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is strict with the Princess. Please don't let her know how much you dote on her, or she'll accuse you of spoiling her," Eunuch Fu reminded him.

Murong Yu knew what was going on. "So keep your mouths shut and don't say anything out of line. If the Empress scolds me, I will hold you accountable."

Everyone: "..."

Fu Gonggong was both amused and exasperated. "I'm afraid the Empress will figure it out as soon as she sees it."

Murong Yu felt depressed.

He stepped into the palace.

"Ayue."

Yunxi Yue was not there; she was in the study looking at account books.

"A-Yue." Murong Yu went to the study and saw her studying the account books by lamplight, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"It's so late, you should rest."

"There are so many ledgers, we wouldn't be able to finish looking at them even by dawn."

When Yun Xiyue saw him enter, she put down the account book, stood up, and bowed. "Your Majesty, did you go to the side hall?"

"Hmm, it's been a long time since I've seen Chang Le. I heard she did something bad today that upset you."

As he spoke, Murong Yu came over and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Chang Le is still young and at the age where she loves to play. You can't put too much pressure on her."

Yun Xiyue scoffed, "You haven't even figured out the whole story! You think it's a small matter that she asked someone to do her homework?"

“Writing homework for others is certainly not a trivial matter.”

Murong Yu sensed her displeasure and dared not defend his daughter any further. "You did the right thing. I know you put a lot of effort into teaching Chang Le."

Of course!

She devoted more attention to her daughter, but was somewhat lax with the princes, leaving their studies, reading, and martial arts entirely to Murong Yu.

My son can rely on himself in the future.

There are many paths to take.

But as a princess, and a very beloved one at that, Yun Xiyue was worried that Chang Le would follow in her footsteps and suffer.

Even if she were to marry a prince, she would still suffer.

"Look, you care about Chang Le even more than I do, how could you bear to see her sad!"

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if you can't handle things now, you'll find it even harder to accept grievances in the future. Don't tell me that your daughter is a princess and doesn't need to suffer any grievances. The Emperor is young now and can protect her, so naturally no one dares to bully her."

"But what if you're not here anymore?"

Murong Yu said, "Aren't there four older brothers?"

"We'll also find her a husband, choosing from among our children, so they can develop feelings for each other from a young age, and he won't bully Chang Le in the future."

Yun Xiyue shook her head. "It's hard to say about matters of the heart. What will Chang Le do if she treats all the children as her older brother?"

The princes' study companions are all children of powerful officials in the capital, and they are all very outstanding.

It is possible to keep him as a concubine.

But they will be active in the imperial court in the future.
