Princess Pingnan felt happy, humming a little tune while pruning the branches of her favorite flower tree in the yard.
Ye Mingzhu walked in and said, "Concubine, why hasn't my brother come back yet?"
In the palace, the only person he could call his brother was Ye Jingxian, a compatriot from his mother's side.
In her heart, she never recognized Ye Junfei as her brother.
Princess Pingnan said very calmly: "Count the time, your brother will be back soon."
After saying that, she also felt that Ye Jingxian's stay was a little longer this time.
She could understand this, after all, Ye Junfei and Ye Qingwan were both difficult to deal with.
And after all, their identities are there, and after killing them, they have to pretend to be bandits, and it will take a lot of time to arrange it.
But even so, Ye Jingxian should be able to come back today.
Ye Mingzhu said softly: "Mother, once Ye Junfei and Ye Qingwan die, will my brother become the heir apparent?"
Princess Pingnan raised her lips slightly: "Of course, the position of the heir apparent should have been his."
"Over the years, your father has spent a lot of energy cultivating your brother. He is the most legitimate heir to Liefeng State."
"If Ye Junfei hadn't suddenly come back and disrupted the rhythm, your brother wouldn't have to suffer these grievances."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ye Mingzhu and said, "This time, not only will your brother become the heir apparent, but your father will also help you find the title of princess."
Although Ye Mingzhu is the legitimate daughter of Prince Pingnan, she has never been titleless.
King Pingnan favored her, helped her and asked the court for a title, but the emperor refused.
It was said that Pingnan Palace already had a princess, so it was not appropriate to seal it again.
Therefore, even if Ye Mingzhu is favored again, let alone the princess, she will not even have the title of county lord or village lord.
To this day, she is still white.
She has long wanted Ye Qingwan's title of princess.
Her eyes were bright: "Can this really happen?"
"Of course." Princess Pingnan smiled slightly: "According to the rules, one of the prince's daughters can be named the princess."
"Although the Emperor has other thoughts about Pingnan Palace, your brother is about to marry Princess Anle."
"In order to appease Prince Pingnan, the Emperor has to give you the title of Princess Princess."
"With the title of princess, you will have more cards when you get married. No one will dare to embarrass you in the future."
Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised: "Brother wants to marry Princess Anle?"
Princess Pingnan nodded: "Yesterday your brother sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he had met the princess and the princess agreed to his marriage proposal."
"So this marriage will definitely happen. In the future, your brother and sister's status will become higher and higher, and no one can replace them!"
Ye Mingzhu likes to hear this.
Although she has deep thoughts, in essence, she is just a teenage girl who loves vanity.
The corners of her lips raised slightly, and there was a bit of pride in her eyes.
She said happily: "That means, from now on, I will be the most noble princess in Liefeng State!"
At this point, she added: "What about Lin Xiuyan? Will my brother kill her too?"
When she mentioned Princess Lin Xiuyan, there was a coldness in Princess Pingnan's eyes: "She is just a lowly businesswoman, she really deserves to die!"
When she said this, she reached out and touched Ye Mingzhu's face: "How dare she hurt you! I told your brother."
"If they catch Lin Xiuyan, they will chop her up and feed her to the dogs."
Her phrase "chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs" was not an exaggerated rhetorical device. She meant to chop Lin Xiuyan's body into pieces and then feed Lin Xiuyan to the dogs.
Ye Mingzhu said with some regret: "She humiliated me like that before, and I wanted to kill her myself."
Princess Pingnan smiled slightly: "After all, she is carrying the status of the Crown Princess now, and it will not look good if someone sees her."
"You are a distinguished princess, this kind of thing is not suitable for you to do."
Although Ye Mingzhu was regretful, she also knew that what Princess Pingnan said was true. She flattened her mouth and let the matter go.
Princess Pingnan added: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and you and Xian'er will still host the ceremony together."
Liefeng Prefecture holds a grand festival every Dragon Boat Festival, which is a kind of authority and symbol.
Princess Pingnan said she wanted Lin Xiuyan to learn etiquette, but she never thought about letting Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei attend this year's festival.
Learning etiquette was just a way for Princess Pingnan to embarrass Lin Xiuyan.
It's just that Lin Xiuyan was too naughty, and Princess Pingnan wanted to embarrass her, so she lost her mother and lost her army.
When she thought about this matter, Princess Pingnan still felt hatred in her heart.
Ye Mingzhu chuckled and said, "Okay! My brother and I should have done it in the first place."
"Who is Ye Junfei? Lin Xiuyan is even less worthy!"
The mother and daughter began to discuss the details of tomorrow's festival.
They do this kind of thing every year, and it's pretty easy to do it if you think about it.
But for them, they got rid of three thorns in their eyes today, and they no longer have any worries in the future. They feel that this year's festival will be different from usual.
At this time, Prince Shi hurriedly walked in and said: "Princess, it's not good, something big has happened!"
When Princess Pingnan heard this, she and Ye Mingzhu looked at each other, and they both saw pride in each other's eyes.
Prince Palace Chief Shi came in in such a hurry to tell the big story, Ye Jingxian must have succeeded and brought back the bodies of Ye Junfei and others.
This incident can be said to be a great joy for them.
Princess Pingnan suppressed the joy in her heart and said with a surprised expression: "What happened?"
Palace Chief Shi said anxiously: "Second Young Master, he came back covered in blood..."
When Princess Pingnan heard about this, she felt that it was a sure thing. Ye Jingxian came back covered in blood, and the blood was definitely not his.
And this way, it will be more conducive to clearing up the relationship with him.
Princess Pingnan felt that her son was becoming more and more stable, and she was even happier.
But she still had to keep a look of shock on her face: "What? Xian'er came back covered in blood?"
"What happened? Didn't I ask him to pick up the Crown Prince and Crown Princess? The Crown Prince and Crown Princess?"
Palace Chief Shi replied: "I didn't see the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."
Princess Pingnan immediately wiped her tears hypocritically: "Why didn't you see the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess?"
"Did something happen to them? Take me to see them quickly!"
Palace Chief Shi quickly responded and took her running to the front yard.
Princess Pingnan wiped away tears as she walked away: "The Crown Prince and Crown Princess must not let anything happen to them."
"If something happens to them, how can I stand up to my sister?"
The sister in her mouth refers to the original wife of King Pingnan and the biological mother of Ye Junfei and Ye Qingwan.
Ye Mingzhu supported Princess Pingnan and said, "Don't worry, mother and concubine. The prince and his concubine have their own destiny, and everything will be fine."
Mother and daughter exchanged glances again, the pride in their eyes almost overflowing.
