After living in the palace for a few days, Taoyao returned to the palace. After all, the palace was her real home at this moment.
"Yihua, mother heard about what happened in the palace a few days ago and is really worried. I don't know what you think."
Princess Rui took her daughter's hand and sat down and asked worriedly. She knew that her daughter and the prince were childhood sweethearts, and it was naturally a good thing for the two children to have friendship with each other.
But even if the daughter takes the position of princess in the future, the burden on her shoulders will still be very heavy. Can the daughter be able to bear it?
"What is mother worried about?"
Taoyao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Princess Rui.
In fact, she knew what the princess was worried about. It was the same as the queen. She felt that she was too weak-tempered and kind-hearted, and could not handle many things. Even if she really became the princess, she would be unqualified.
"The Queen loves you, but she is never your biological mother. What she cares about is whether you can be a good Crown Princess. But I feel sorry for you whether you can bear such a heavy burden. You are in love with the Crown Prince, and I really don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.”
Princess Rui knew that she might have gone too far. The Queen indeed liked her daughter very much, but she just felt distressed and her heart was very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, mother. Since I have chosen to fall in love with the prince brother, I am already ready to take on this responsibility. Hasn't mother noticed that I have been slowly growing up?"
Tao Yao comforted her softly. She knew what the princess was worried about, and she could also understand that it was a mother's love for her daughter.
After all, the original owner Xiao Yihua was indeed too weak-tempered at the beginning. It was understandable that the princess was worried that her daughter could not support such an important status.
"But mother is still worried about you. Things in the palace are complicated and busy. Can you really handle it in the future?"
Princess Rui is still extremely worried. Doesn't her daughter understand?
Yi Hua has always been too kind-hearted, let alone the matters in the palace, which are extremely complicated and beyond what Yi Hua can handle.
Even if there is growth, it is still not growing fast enough, and I am worried about what kind of pressure I will encounter in the future.
"Mother, please believe me, I will definitely be able to shoulder these responsibilities, not to mention that the prince brother will be by my side and he will handle these things with me. I believe in his affection for me."
Tao Yao smiled lightly. In fact, Gu Heng and Xiao Yihua were such a divine couple. In the space where Liu Xuan'er was not disturbed, the two of them had a deep friendship.
Xiao Yihua is indeed too weak-tempered, but with the Queen and Gu Heng here, she will eventually grow up slowly and become a qualified Crown Princess and a qualified Queen.
What's more, there is only one queen in Gu Heng's harem, Xiao Yihua, and there are no other concubines competing for favor. Without the concubines competing for favor, wouldn't it be much easier for Xiao Yihua to manage the harem?
Therefore, the two of them are really a pair of gods and immortals, and it is no wonder that they will become a pair of loving empresses who will go down in history.
Seeing her daughter looking so confident, Princess Zirui didn't want to say any more offensive words. Since her daughter had to make this choice, she had to be prepared to take the responsibility.
"Okay, mother believes in you, then you should go to the palace more often to learn from the Queen."
Princess Rui patted Taoyao's hand, feeling extremely distressed.
Her daughter was pretty and cute when she was young. The empress fell in love with her at just one glance, so she stayed in the palace to raise her for a while, and then she was sent back to the palace when she was ten years old.
But she only had one daughter. During her time in the palace, she really missed her every day. Fortunately, she was coming back when she was ten years old.
I don't know whether the Queen's love is a blessing or a curse. After entering the palace, many things will be different.
"Mom, believe me. Don't worry. The Queen and the Crown Prince will be our biggest backers. Things will be much easier with them."
Tao Yao persuaded her earnestly. She knew that if she wanted the princess to trust her, she would have to show off, but she couldn't always look weak and weak.
"And that Miss Liu? What exactly are you planning? I know you should know. Can you tell me what's going on between the two of you?"
When it comes to Liu Xuan'er, this is what worries Princess Rui. Recent events have made him feel that this Liu Xuan'er is not a simple person.
"I know she is not as simple as she seems on the surface. I'm afraid she has many plans to plot against me."
Tao Yao's tone was a little cold when she mentioned these things. If it were the real Xiao Yihua, she would have been plotted long ago.
"In this case, what are Yihua's plans?"
Princess Rui felt nervous and quickly asked, wanting to see if her daughter had any opinions and thoughts of her own.
"Mother, do you know what happened at Xiangguo Temple that day? Those two madmen were brought in by Liu Xuan'er herself. Fortunately, they went to the wrong house. In fact, their real target was me."
Taoyao smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. This Liu Xuan'er obviously came from a civilized society a thousand years later, but she didn't expect that she still only knew this.
Taking advantage of the harshness of ancient society towards women, he turned it into a knife and wanted to plunge it into Xiao Yihua's body.
"How can she be so bold!"
Princess Rui immediately became extremely angry. She said that something was wrong with what happened at Xiangguo Temple that day. How could two crazy people come in to the temple, which was well-behaved!
But seeing Liu Xuan'er crying so hard that day, she couldn't ask her carefully to avoid making matters worse. She could only be glad that her daughter was not injured.
Unexpectedly, when I heard my daughter say this today, I was so angry!
"Don't worry, mother. I know everything she does. I will not be plotted by her. On the contrary, I want her to be defeated by her own scheme. If she wants to harm me, I will let her suffer the consequences!"
Tao Yao comforted, just like a cat that can catch mice, but still has to tease them step by step.
"Yihua, mother feels that you are really different from before. In the past, I just thought that you were too soft-hearted and kind-hearted. I didn't expect that you are really growing up slowly, knowing how to protect yourself, and being able to prevent others from hurting you. After everything was returned, my mother felt a lot more relieved."
Princess Rui nodded with satisfaction. Her daughter had finally grown up and was no longer stupid and would only be bullied.
As for Liu Xuan'er, if she dared to do such a thing, she would have to bear the consequences herself.
Whatever Yihua wants to do, she can do it over there. Let's not talk about their palace, but the Queen and His Royal Highness will be her eternal backing.
Taoyao smiled coquettishly.
…
Seven days have passed, and the injury on Liu Xuan'er's knee is more than half healed, but it is still a little red, and it still hurts when touched.
But what she paid most attention to was the scars on her face. She looked left and right with a bronze mirror and was relieved when she really didn't see any scars.
I applied all the best medicine to my face. I applied it several times every day. Finally, the swelling on my face subsided, but I still felt a little uncomfortable in my knees.
"My parents haven't had anyone come over to ask me in the past few days. Do they really not regard me as their daughter? Or do they think I have embarrassed them and I am not worthy of being the daughter of the Liu family?"
Liu Xuan'er put down the bronze mirror and felt more and more aggrieved as she thought about it.
Although she did do something wrong and shouldn't have talked back to the queen's aunt in the palace, she had already been punished. The physical pain was enough!
Although she was indeed embarrassed in the palace, her father and mother did not say a word of comfort after she returned. They all despised her for being so embarrassed. How could there be such a family here?
"Miss, you'd better not go out these days and think about it in your own room."
He Lu advised worriedly. Every time something happened to the young lady, something bad seemed to happen. Now that the young lady's reputation has become like this, it's better to calm down first.
"I know what I should do, so you don't need to say anything!"
Liu Xuan'er was already angry, so she scolded He Lu again. Although she was indeed in despair now, she couldn't help but have a slave come and point fingers in front of her.
After all, her current identity is also the rich daughter of the Liu family, and she cannot let a slave say it. If anyone can say a few words, wouldn't it be too shameless!
"yes."
He Lu lowered her head in grievance, wondering why all her good intentions had been misunderstood by the lady.
"Is there any news from the princess?"
Liu Xuan'er asked unwillingly, wasn't it Xiao Yihua who asked her to go to the palace last time? Otherwise, how could such a shameful thing happen?
The last time I knelt in the palace for an hour, Xiao Yihua didn't even show her face, and she didn't even send anyone to ask her what kind of good friend she was!
"No."
He Lu shook her head honestly, there was indeed no news.
"What kind of good sister is she like this? It's been so many days and I still don't know how to come and ask. It's obviously her who caused me to be like this!"
Liu Xuan'er couldn't help but muttered softly.
I was really angry. I had been so wronged and Xiao Yihua didn't even send someone to ask her. Isn't she a very noble person? She could get up with just one sentence, but he still watched her kneel down. so long.
How can there be such sisters!
"Actually, the young lady did something wrong in this matter. The young lady really shouldn't have talked back to the aunt next to the queen. The princess may just not be able to come forward."
He Lu advised her carefully. The young lady had been too outspoken recently. She could say many bold words at will. Many times, she would feel frightened while listening to her.
"Why are you turning your elbows outward? Don't you even know how to talk to me? Whose slave are you, or do you want to serve the princess!"
Liu Xuan'er was really annoyed. Why did He Lu always say things she didn't like to hear? Why didn't she have a better minion by her side? She really didn't have a helper here.
"Miss, these days have really changed a lot from before. I have to say, Miss, you should be careful about your words and deeds. Being a good friend with the princess is a blessing. You really shouldn't curse secretly."
He Lu knelt on the ground and persuaded her boldly. She just wanted the former lady back. The former lady was obviously very good, but she really didn't know how she ended up like this.
She really wants her former lady back.
