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

Chapter 1175

The Empress Dowager stared sharply at the wet nurse.

The wet nurse knelt down with a thud. "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that the Princess and I don't discipline the Princess. It's just that the Princess... she... keeps complaining that we're bullying her."

The Empress Dowager will surely punish them then.

Even the princess was afraid, let alone a wet nurse.

The maids were also afraid. The Empress Dowager doted on Princess Qinghe more than anyone else, as they had witnessed back in Funing Palace. With the Empress Dowager watching, Princess Qinghe dared not act recklessly.

But once he arrived at Prince Rui's residence, his true nature was revealed, and whenever things didn't go his way, he would cry and say he wanted to file a complaint.

Qinghe would visit the palace almost every day.

How could they dare offend their little princess? She could decide their life or death with a single word.

Not only did the wet nurse cry, but the other maids also testified that it was indeed Qinghe's fault.

The Empress Dowager was so angry she almost fainted, and then turned to scold Qinghe.

“Grandmother...don’t you want me anymore? Father, Mother sent me to the capital because she didn’t want me. I didn’t expect that when I came back, you didn’t want me either, and sent me to my uncle’s house.”

"None of you love me, you don't want me, you don't care about me... What's the point of me studying and writing so hard... Waaah..."

Princess Qinghe was very clever and knew how to manipulate the Empress Dowager.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt utterly distressed.

She cried while holding her child.

"Qinghe, don't cry."

"It's my grandmother's fault."

The Empress Dowager suddenly wanted to send Qinghe to Yunxiyue's side so that she could manage the household.

Upon learning this, Yun Xiyue took the child back to the Yun family.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has returned to the Yun family with the princes and princesses."

They said it was by the Emperor's permission that he would stay at the Yun family's residence for three days.

Three days is enough time for the Empress Dowager to calm down, and there's also Zhang Chuhuan to persuade her.

Zhang Chuhuan didn't want to lose this money, so he promised to discipline Princess Qinghe well, but he needed the Empress Dowager's permission not to easily soften her heart no matter what Princess Qinghe said.

"Mother, the Empress definitely won't raise Qinghe. Think about it, she's never liked Qinghe and always favors her own daughter. Do you think Qinghe will have a good life if she goes to the Empress's Palace?"

The Empress Dowager thought it made sense. "Then you must discipline Qinghe well this time. Next time the Emperor sets a test for everyone, she must be the top scorer."

This is a lot of pressure.

The children who read the newspapers in the palace were all very capable.

That's not true! Princess Qinghe's talent is just average.

Zhou Taifu's daughter is well-educated, polite, and intelligent. Not only does the Empress like her, but Zhang Chuhuan also likes her and wants to make her her son's heir apparent!

"Isn't Mother's request a bit too much?"

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, "Then we can't lose to Chang Le at the very least."

“She’s a merchant and she can raise her daughter so well. You’re from a prestigious family, so you can’t be any worse than her.”

Zhang Chuhuan took these words to heart. "Mother, rest assured, I will not let Qinghe lose to Changle. I will definitely raise her to be a well-educated, gentle, and dignified young lady from a respectable family."

Look at her, full of fighting spirit.

The Empress Dowager was relieved and sent someone to inquire what Yun Xiyue and the child were doing at the Yun family. She heard that they were eating, drinking, and having fun.

"Hmph! I told you she couldn't do it. Chang Le was able to win this time because the Emperor personally taught her. She's already being complacent and indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun. She'll spoil the child sooner or later."

Zhang Chuhuan felt a surge of pride, thinking that Yun Xiyue was nothing special.

"That's how merchants are; they're always focused on making money."

The Empress Dowager nodded in agreement, "Take Qinghe back with you, and make sure you never lose to Chang Le again next time."

"Keep it up, Qinghe!"

Qinghe nodded. "Mm."

Yun family.

Yunxi Yue and the others were indeed eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying themselves.

Back in the palace, Murong Yu became very strict with his sons. Therefore, they cherished the time they spent relaxing with their mother.

“Write a few words and compose a few poems, otherwise we won’t be able to explain to your father when we get back.” Yun Xiyue was still worried that Murong Yu would interfere with them.

Before going back, I always do some research.

"Your Highness, Princess Qinghe has returned to the Prince's residence. She looks full of fighting spirit."

"Next month, the Emperor will test everyone again."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Then you should go back and study hard. Chang Le, did you hear that? Sister Qinghe has started working hard. She wants to beat you in the next test. If you don't want to lose to her, you should study and write diligently when you go back!"

"Can I still come to Grandma's house to play?"

"If you behave well, that's fine. Otherwise, when you come to Grandma's house, you won't have any homework to do. The tutor will have to come along and listen to two hours of lessons every day. So you should listen carefully in class. In these seven days, you should complete all the tasks that you are supposed to learn and complete. After these seven days, when we go to Grandma's house, we will only eat, drink, and have fun. We won't talk about studying or practicing martial arts."

Upon hearing this, the children immediately perked up.

I just had so much fun these past three days.

I want to play again next time.

After returning home, both the princes and princesses worked hard to improve themselves.

No need for too much supervision.
