Jiang Yuhuan raised her hand to push the person away, but the person took the initiative to let go and held her hand instead, with a kind and kind face, "Huanhuan, you are suffering."
She froze in place, not knowing what expression to make.
Who's going to tell her what's going on?
Why are British princesses so different from before?
She was stunned when suddenly a chuckle came from beside her, "Mother, you scared Huanhuan."
Mrs. Shizi held the handkerchief and walked toward Jiang Yuhuan, saying, "Huanhuan, the reason why I did that in the Prince's Mansion was because my mother was thinking about you."
Jiang Yuhuan came back to his senses, blinked and looked at the Crown Prince's wife in confusion, "For my sake?"
"Yes." Mrs. Shizi put her hand on Jiang Yuhuan's wrist, "Prince Duanyang proposed to Jiang Qiao to admit you into the palace when you were still sick. He clearly had bad intentions. We don't know what he is planning, and it's not easy to rashly agree with him. You’re close.”
Jiang Yuhuan frowned, "Really? But just now, the Duke's wife was clearly targeting me everywhere and embarrassing me several times."
"That's all an act! Mother also did it to show the king. The more isolated and helpless you are, the more likely the king will reveal his true purpose."
"Seriously?" Jiang Yuhuan still didn't believe it and said suspiciously.
"Seriously! Didn't I ask you to come to the Duke's Mansion as soon as I got the chance? But I'm afraid you have to do some tricks when you go back, so that the county prince thinks you are coming to the Duke's Mansion to be punished."
Seeing that Jiang Yuhuan remained silent, Mrs. Shizi continued: "You see, we have no reason to lie to you. We really care about you and want to help you."
Jiang Yuhuan pursed his lips and looked around the crowd. Looking at their determined expressions, he knelt down and saluted, "I've met my grandmother."
Although I don’t know what kind of tricks they are playing, it’s not a bad idea to recognize them.
Behind the British government is the Queen Mother, who has great utilization value.
"Ah! Ah! What a good boy!" The British princess held her hand with tears in her eyes. She watched her hesitate several times before finally swallowing her words, wiping the tears from her eyes and pulling her along. Introduce everyone in the hall.
He looked like an elder who really loved his granddaughter. Jiang Yuhuan couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a moment.
"This is your aunt. You've seen her before, so I won't say much more." She passed Mrs. Shizi, who pretended to be angry and stamped her feet, but there was a smile on her face.
"This is your second aunt."
Jiang Yuhuan was greeted by the courtesy, and the second lady also responded with a gentle smile.
She took off the bracelet in her hand and put it on Jiang Yuhuan's wrist.
Jiang Yuhuan was flattered and wanted to refuse but was firmly held down by the second lady.
"A little greeting gift, accept it. It's just that this bracelet is a little flawed, don't dislike it, just find a place to mend it."
"It's true that the second younger brother and sister don't give good gifts to each other." Mrs. Shizi came over and squeezed in between them. She casually pulled out a hairpin from her head and inserted it into Jiang Yuhuan's head. "My aunt was not prepared at all. This hairpin It looks good on you."
"It does look good, but it seems that I don't pay much attention to it. It's just that there is no reason to take back this gift. Huanhuan, you must make up for it, so as not to tell others about it and make people laugh at my second aunt."
The second lady was joking and did not feel embarrassed at all because the gift she gave was not as good as the Crown Prince's wife.
Jiang Yuhuan was confused. She suppressed her doubts and smiled innocently, "I will."
Seeing that they had finished giving gifts, the British princess took Jiang Yuhuan to the next person.
"This is your third aunt." But this time her words were obviously not as enthusiastic as before, and the third lady smiled without any embarrassment.
Jiang Yuhuan's attitude remained unchanged and continued to salute, "I have met my third aunt."
The third lady nodded in response and kept digging in her sleeves.
Finally, she took out a golden bean and handed it to Jiang Yuhuan. She said awkwardly: "I don't know that I want to see you. I have no preparations. Just accept it. Another day, I will do it again..."
"The situation is urgent today. Your uncles and grandfather are not here, and some of your brothers and sisters are not here either. I will let you formally meet with them another day."
The British duchess directly interrupted the third lady. Jiang Yuhuan glanced at the third lady. She looked embarrassed and stood there helplessly.
"Okay." Jiang Yuhuan agreed to the British duchess's words, and then responded to the third lady's words, "Thank you, third aunt, the golden beans are very good."
The third lady breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Jiang Yuhuan.
After seeing everyone, the British princess pulled Jiang Yuhuan to her seat and sat down.
The two of them look so intimate, like grandparents and grandchildren who have lived together since childhood.
The British princess looked at Jiang Yuhuan and kept stroking Jiang Yuhuan's cheek with her hand.
Jiang Yuhuan endured the discomfort and cooperated with the British father-in-law to create a warm scene. She saw the joy in the eyes of the British father-in-law gradually replaced by worry.
"Huanhuan, tell the truth to grandma, did Prince Duanyang hit you?"
When the opportunity was presented to him, there was no reason for Jiang Yuhuan not to seize it.
"He beat me." Jiang Yuhuan lowered his head, pretending to be sad, and said in a crying voice, "Whenever I don't get what he wants, he will beat me. I made excuses to go back to the Hou Mansion and told my father that I didn't want to be a concubine, but Daddy is unwilling to help me."
Mrs. Shizi took over the words angrily, "I know Jiang Qiao is not a good person. Maybe he has reached some kind of agreement with the prince."
Jiang Yuhuan shook his head, "I don't know. But I really don't want to go back to the county prince's mansion, but my father is unwilling to help me, what else can I do!"
The British princess looked distressed, hugged Jiang Yuhuan and comforted her: "Good boy, don't be afraid, grandma will support you!"
"But... what if the king is unhappy and angers the British government?"
The British duchess snorted coldly, "Angry? As a county king with no real power, what else can he do to us?"
"But...my father..."
"Your father doesn't know what he's thinking. You're still crazy...still sick, yet you're actually being carried into the Prince's Mansion."
Jiang Yuhuan took the opportunity to drag Jiang Qiao into the water, "My father wants to bring Jiang Li into the county prince's palace through me, and he is going to the county princess."
"Shameless! He actually used you as a pedal for a concubine!"
"But Jiang Li is not an ordinary concubine. Her biological mother is Princess Sun's cousin."
Jiang Yuhuan lay in the arms of the British lady-in-law, aggrievedly taking away the threat of Aunt Sun.
"Huanhuan, you must never agree to this kind of thing, do you understand?"
The British princess pushed Jiang Yuhuan away, she held Jiang Yuhuan's shoulders and said with great solemnity.
Jiang Yuhuan nodded blankly, "I know. Today Jiang Li tried to use some means to enter the county prince's palace, but he was caught by the county prince. I didn't ask for mercy. After the banquet, my father came to me and said that I should help Jiang Li carry the burden. Let's do this. Jiang Li has been so partial even before he entered the Prince's Mansion. If he really did, then I'm afraid... besides, I won't stay in the Prince's Mansion forever."
Hearing this, the British princess frowned, "Why do you say that? What are your plans? Huanhuan, please don't mess around. If you have any difficulties, tell us and we will find a solution together."
"I want to run away, leave the capital, and never come back."
"No! Did you know that you will be wanted if you run away? If you are caught, the death penalty awaits you!"
Jiang Yuhuan pretended to be frightened by the death penalty and looked at the British princess sadly, "Then... what should we do?"
"Huanhuan, don't worry, grandma will find a way for you."
At this time, the Crown Prince's wife said: "Mother, perhaps the Queen Mother..."
"Nonsense! How can the Queen Mother be involved in such a trivial matter!"
The British duchess was a little angry, but the Crown Prince's wife seemed unaware, "Mother, you said it was a trivial matter. This trivial matter will definitely not trouble the Queen Mother. Maybe she has a way?"
Jiang Yuhuan looked at the British princess expectantly, the longing in her eyes was beyond words.
The British princess looked troubled and seemed unwilling to agree.
But just as Jiang Yuhuan's eyes gradually dimmed, she heard her sigh helplessly.
"That's all. Although it is unreasonable that you are a concubine, it is legal and reasonable. Unless Prince Duanyang nods, there is no way to get you out. Please follow me to see the Queen Mother and see if there is any way."
"real?"
"of course it's true!"
The British princess acted resolutely, pulled Jiang Yuhuan and walked out.
When I walked to the door, the carriage was ready.
The two got into the carriage and headed to the palace.
The British princess has a badge given by the Queen Mother and can enter the palace directly without asking for permission.
After getting off the carriage, the two walked to Shouning Palace.
The British princess not only greeted Jiang Yuhuan along the way, but also sorted out Jiang Yuhuan's relationships in the palace.
Now that the harem is clean, the late emperor's concubines, except the Queen Mother, Concubine Sun, and Concubine Qi, and the rest who have not given birth to any heirs, have been released from the palace.
The new emperor Fu Lingyi now only has Queen Ning Su in his harem. The emperor and the queen have a deep love for each other and have no idea of having a concubine.
It seemed that the British princess really just told Jiang Yuhuan this information to prevent her from making mistakes in the palace. She had no intention of inquiring about Fu Shiju, which made Jiang Yuhuan feel that she had misunderstood her.
Jiang Yuhuan came to Shouning Palace with doubts. She and the British princess stood in front of the door, waiting for the palace maid to report.
After a while, the palace maid came out, followed by a relatively gorgeously dressed nanny.
"Madame, Miss Jiang, please come with me."
The British princess nodded slightly, turned to Jiang Yuhuan and said, "This is the old man next to the Queen Mother, Aunt Qin."
Jiang Yuhuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
The two followed Aunt Qin into the main hall of the palace.
In the main hall, the Queen Mother was sitting upright, exuding a majestic aura.
Just as the British duchess was about to kneel down and salute, the Queen Mother hurriedly stood up and raised her arm, "Mother, there is no need to be polite when meeting in private."
The British princess stood up and looked at Jiang Yuhuan.
Jiang Yuhuan knew that she had to salute, so she accepted her fate and knelt down and kowtowed, "My daughter Jiang Yuhuan pays homage to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother raised her palms and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Jiang Yuhuan stood up, and the Queen Mother asked someone to sit down.
She sat on a chair and waited for the British duchess to get to the point.
"Empress, you are actually here because of Huanhuan's lifelong event."
"I have also heard the emperor mention the matter of Prince Duanyang taking Yu Huan as a concubine. The emperor did not agree at first, but Marquis Wensi was willing, and it was not easy for the emperor to interfere with the prince taking a concubine. Now, we are encountering some difficulties. ?”
