The palace maid looked at Zhao Yuechan with some horror. After thinking about it, she finally advised her: "Concubine, this thing sounds like it is not a good thing, and it is circulated on the black market.
Your Highness is a man of great wealth, if there is anything inappropriate, I'm afraid..."
Zhao Yuechan said impatiently: "Didn't I ask you to find out? I'm not a fool. Do you dare to feed His Highness these messy things? I'll leave all this matter to you.
Please check it out carefully for me."
Seeing her resolute attitude, the palace maid did not dare to say any more words of persuasion, so she had no choice but to agree.
"By the way, please keep your mouth shut about this. No one is allowed to reveal it, not even my mother, otherwise...I will expose you first."
Zhao Yuechan's temper has become increasingly violent recently. Many palace maids have been severely punished, and one even had one of her legs broken.
When she said this, the palace maid had no doubt that she would sit until she said it, so she became more and more nervous, but she did not dare to disobey.
Zhao Yuechan exhaled a heavy breath, but her heart was filled with anticipation.
The Crown Princess has been feeling a little unwell recently, but because this pregnancy has attracted too many people's attention, and because of her experience with the previous pregnancy, she did not ask for an imperial doctor.
After taking the miscarriage medicine for two days, I felt a little better, but then I felt that I was still worrying too much.
So when the Zhao family sent a message saying that it was the birthday of the second wife of the Zhao family and wanted to invite the sisters out of the palace to get together, she refused without hesitation.
Although she and Zhao Yuechan are both girls from the Zhao family, the fact that the two sisters now share the same husband sounds like a good thing to the outside world.
For the Zhao family, it is even more of an honor.
But the Zhao family knew in their hearts that there was a slight gap between the two houses because of this.
If nothing else, if both sisters give birth to a son for the prince, even if her child takes the title of firstborn, there is no guarantee that they will not compete with each other in the future.
It's just that this kind of thing seems to be far away for the time being, and the prince has not yet ascended the throne, so no one mentioned it and kept it buried in his heart.
Zhao Mingxi also knew that although her aunt posted the post specifically, she might not actually welcome him in her heart.
Why bother with that?
As for the post being sent to the front hall at the same time, this is as it should be.
From the moment she stepped through the door of the East Palace, she knew that her husband could never belong to her alone.
To her, Zhao Yuechan was no different from other women.
Moreover, this cousin's IQ is indeed nothing to worry about, and there is really no need to guard against anything.
The most important thing right now is the child in her belly. Since Zhao Yuechan can still handle the ordinary affairs of the East Palace, there is absolutely no reason for her to worry anymore.
Even if she knew some things well, she could wait until the child was born before talking about them.
On the other hand, the maid in front of her was a little worried, "The Crown Princess is manipulating Concubine Zhao like this. With Concubine Zhao's temperament, I'm afraid it will only encourage her ambitions."
Zhao Mingxi chuckled lightly, "Her ambitions are clearly written on her face. Even if I don't indulge them, they are all there."
Moreover, since she entered the palace, she rarely returns to her parents' home alone. Now that she has some abilities in our palace, we should let her go home to reassure her family."
Even though she said that, the palace maid looked at the smile on her princess's face and subconsciously felt that maybe things were not that simple.
When Zhao Mingxi was at her parents' house, although she didn't spend too long with her cousin, she knew a lot about Zhao Yuechan's temperament.
There is really nothing to fear about letting her go back with the prince at this time.
As she thought, Zhao Yuechan returned to the Zhao Mansion alone with the prince this time for the birthday of the second wife of the Zhao family.
Seeing everyone in her parents' family waiting respectfully at the door and then saluting them in unison, Zhao Yuechan straightened her back immediately.
She nodded gently, and then asked the palace maid to distribute the gifts she brought back.
To everyone in the mansion.
She had also returned to her parents' home before, so naturally she brought some things that were only available in the palace.
But every time, it was Zhao Mingxi's request, Zhao Mingxi's order and arrangement.
Only this time, it was all her own decision.
The eldest aunt has always looked down upon her, especially after the Lantern Festival that year.
Even when Zhao Yuechan was in the palace, she heard many aunties secretly mocking her shamelessly.
She determined that the eldest wife of the Zhao family was afraid that she would take away Zhao Mingxi's position as princess, and that she was afraid that she would influence Zhao Mingxi.
Therefore, the things she brought back this time, she specially added two points to her mother's share. Although it was not easy to talk about it directly in front of everyone at the moment, when she came back, everyone in the house should also see it.
Something happened.
In any case, she is also the first person in the East Palace besides Zhao Mingxi.
It is also time for the Zhao family to understand that they are not just a fluke, and they may not be the ones who are truly promising in the future.
And before leaving the palace, she carefully compared the things Zhao Mingxi brought back from each visit to Ning.
I just feel that the Zhao family is easy to get rid of. These few things are not even as good as one-third of what the Zhao family sent to the palace, but they are still holding Zhao Mingxi like that.
It's time for them to know clearly which daughter is looking towards her parents' family and may have plans for her parents' family in the future.
Of course, she also asked the palace people to come up with the rules and regulations of the palace. She didn't dare to overtly exceed the standards, and there were a lot of secret operations.
The golden nanmu crutch given to the old lady of the Zhao family was a tribute from Dongfang Fusang three years ago. I don't know how it got to the East Palace.
But Zhao Yuechan also knew the value of that crutch.
Not to mention the brothers and sisters in the Zhao family.
The younger peers were naturally very happy, but the elders frowned secretly.
Zhao Yuechan didn't know that her behavior would only make the Zhao family secretly anxious.
Zhao Mingxi's journey back to her parents' home was naturally not a small one, but it was all done in accordance with the royal etiquette and she acted as low-key and courteously as possible.
In the past, when the Third Prince was around, he would ask people to compare them, whether openly or secretly. If there was any mistake, it would most likely appear on the officials' notes the next day.
Although the third prince is no longer here, there is still no one on the throne.
Emperor Yufeng has not shown his face for a long time, but it does not mean that he is deaf and blind and does not know anything about the outside world.
Not to mention that Dongchang also sent several eunuchs to Datong a few days ago.
Emperor Yufeng even kept an eye on the war in Datong. How could he not know what was happening under his nose?
What's more, when Zhao Yuechan returned to her parents' home this time, her attitude was really arrogant. Faced with everyone's salutes to the prince, she didn't even shy away from them, and simply stood there and accepted them together.
Even the Empress Guining would often avoid giving way when her parents kneel down and salute.
In this way, several elders of the Zhao family were secretly shaking their heads from top to bottom.
Zhao Yuechan didn't know these things. She had more important things to do when she came here today. She was just perfunctory and showy about the current matter.
Although the second wife of the Zhao family is a loose student, now that the prince and Zhao Yuechan are back, the battle will not be small.
Naturally, the prince was accompanied by someone in the front yard. Zhao Yuechan was supported by all the female family members in the palace to eat in the backyard. They also listened to a play and drank tea together. After hearing a lot of flattery, she found an opportunity to escape and went out with her.
My mother went to her mother's yard.
When mother and daughter met, they naturally had many things to say about themselves, and the others naturally had no reason to stop them, but there was a hint of contempt in their eyes.
As soon as Zhao Yuechan entered the door, she asked the palace maid to close the door and asked impatiently: "Mom, have you asked me clearly?"
