While they were chatting happily, the nanny next to Princess Zhou walked in and said, "Miss Tao, please take a step to speak."
"Mommy, is there anything you can't say here?" Wen Hanyan was curious.
Tao Yaoyao saw the embarrassed look on her mama's face, so she put down her chopsticks and stood up, "I'm afraid the princess has prepared something good for me, so you guys are not allowed to follow me."
After the nanny took her out, she found a remote corner. After making sure it was safe, she whispered, "The third prince just left the palace, but when he left, he shouted that he wanted to make the girl look good. The princess was worried about the girl. , so I specially asked the old slave to tell the girl."
The dignified prince was beaten twice by her in a short period of time. He might just have a grudge against her and go back to find someone to avenge him.
How old are you, yet you still complain to your parents?
If a person like this could conquer the world, the world would probably be in chaos.
"I'd like to ask you to go out and thank the princess for me when you get back. As for the third prince, I have my own plans."
Originally, her purpose today was to deal with Aunt Zhao and her daughter so that Aunt Zhao could hand over her mother's dowry. Unexpectedly, the third prince jumped up and down in the middle, forcing her to plan to break off the engagement in advance.
However, this marriage must be called off sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it's one day early or one day late.
Chuxiu Palace
Concubine Xian was half lying on the soft couch, eating fruit while squinting her eyes to enjoy the service of the palace servants. In the sunny afternoon, several rays of light passed through the scattered windows and doors and fell into the main hall. At a glance, it was very beautiful.
"This Zhao family is really ignorant. My Cheng family's daughter is not worthy of him. He would rather choose that rude girl, Princess Zhou, than Jiaojiao."
Cheng Jiaojiao is the third young lady of the Cheng family and the niece of Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian only has one son, the third prince, but there are differences between men and women. Even if Concubine Xian is close to her son, there are some things that are difficult to say.
So she took Jiaojiao as her niece and raised her. When she first found out that Jiaojiao liked the boy from the Zhao family, she thought that Jiaojiao had good taste.
Unexpectedly, she asked her sister-in-law to find someone to go to the Zhao family to find out the truth. The Zhao family hesitated and refused to give an accurate letter. The next day, Grand Master Zhao went to the palace to ask for a marriage decree.
Jiaojiao was so sad that she allowed her to go home and relax.
But the feud between the Cheng family and the Zhao family has been settled.
"Concubine, this prince wants to break off his engagement with that bitch Tao Yaoyao."
The third prince burst into the palace angrily. When he saw the Xian Concubine, he immediately scolded Tao Yaoyao and even recounted what had just happened in Prince Zhou's Mansion.
"What? That bitch Tao Yaoyao actually dares to hit you?" Concubine Xian angrily kicked the palace maid away, stood up and came to the third prince. When she saw that there were indeed two slap marks on his face, she became furious on the spot.
"Come here, take Tao Yaoyao to me and take her to the Chuxiu Palace. She has rebelled against her. A mere minister's daughter actually dares to hit the prince."
Concubine Xian still felt puzzled as she spoke, "How did Tao Shi'an educate his daughter? It's a mistake for a son not to educate his father, so he was invited into the palace. In short, I will never let this matter go by easily."
The third prince wanted to punish Tao Yaoyao, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter, so when he heard his mother-in-law said that she wanted to invite Tao Shi'an into the palace, he stepped in to stop her.
"Mother and concubine, please keep this matter straight, otherwise if your father finds out, you will be unhappy with me again."
The third prince's words reminded Concubine Xian, "Mother Zhou, please come in."
Half an hour later, Eunuch Liu brought people to Prince Zhou's Mansion. After Princess Zhou and Prince Zhou learned about this, they came to the front yard to greet them in person, and Xie Lan also followed.
Dressed in white, he stood out among the crowd, making everyone's eyes dazzle.
He is indeed a good man, no wonder the women in the boudoir present couldn't help but look at him twice when they saw him.
This is the character...
"Who is Miss Tao?"
As soon as Eunuch Liu finished speaking, everyone looked at her.
Tao Yaoyao quickly walked to the front of the crowd, "My maid is Tao Yaoyao, the eldest daughter of the Tao family."
After Eunuch Liu looked her up and down, he said with a strange expression, "Your Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace with the Ze family immediately."
Your Majesty has an order, but no one dares to disobey it.
It's just that Princess Zhou was a little worried that Her Majesty was beaten because of the third prince.
When she immediately wanted to take a step forward, Tao Yaoyao turned around and winked at her. What happened today was caused by her, and Princess Zhou had already helped her a lot. She absolutely couldn't hurt her anymore.
Furthermore, His Majesty only summoned her to the palace, and Princess Zhou was not summoned to the palace, which would definitely cause His Majesty's displeasure.
"Thank you, Eunuch Liu."
Tao Yaoyao followed Eunuch Liu and left Prince Zhou's Mansion in front of everyone. The banquet was almost over now, and something like this happened again in the mansion. Many people were worried about being implicated, so they found various reasons to leave.
"The Third Prince doesn't have such a vision. I'm afraid that Concubine Xian is behind everything. Let's go into the palace."
Eunuch Liu took Tao Yaoyao to the outside of the royal study, and after telling Tao Yaoyao to wait outside, he went in to report. After a while, Eunuch Liu came out and said, "Your Majesty is still busy with official duties at the moment. Miss Tao, please don't stand either." Now, kneel down and wait."
Your Majesty is trying to give her a show of strength and vent his anger on the third prince?
Having been here for a few days, this was the first time that Tao Yaoyao directly felt the majesty of the Heavenly Family.
This is not an enlightened future where everyone is equal. This is a place where the king wants his subjects to die and they have to die.
In order to survive, she must obey the imperial decree and kneel down.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the front that Miss Tao has entered the palace and is kneeling outside the imperial study. Your Majesty loves our master so much. If Miss Tao treats her like this today, Your Majesty will definitely help him vent his anger."
Concubine Xian felt that it was not enough.
"Who is she? She dares to hit my son. I want her not to live or to die." Concubine Xian's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Where is Tao Shi'an, are you coming soon?"
"Replying to your Majesty, we have already arrived at the gate of the palace." After finishing speaking, Mammy paused and then said, "My Majesty, should we leave some room for this matter? After all, General Chu is still at the border to defend against the enemy. He has no regard for this granddaughter. But we take it very seriously, if something happens to her..."
"And doesn't the empress also hope that the third prince can gain the support of the Chu family?"
After Concubine Xian calmed down, she sneered, "Who said that I want to kill her? There are many ways to survive or die. This concubine's plan will not only make the Chu family loyal to my son, but also make the Chu family loyal to my son. And let them beg my son to marry that bitch.”
When the sky darkened, Tao Shi'an followed the palace servants to the outside of the imperial study.
He had been staying at the Yamen today and had no idea what was going on. He thought that His Majesty wanted to see him for something. It wasn't until he came outside the imperial study room and saw Tao Yaoyao kneeling there that a bad feeling arose in his heart. premonition.
"Why are you here?"
