Xie Rongzhao didn't want to attend such a banquet, but the empress in the palace had said that she had to go even if she didn't want to.
Fortunately, there are elders in the family now, and Mrs. Cheng can help take care of the children. She and Liu Ruolan entered the palace together.
Although Xie Rongzhao doesn't have a title yet, she is Xie Xiuwen's daughter!
For this reason, no one can underestimate her.
It is said to be a birthday celebration for the little princess, but in fact it is mainly about the communication between some adults, some want to win over the influence, some want to take the opportunity to clarify misunderstandings, etc. In short, it is estimated that few of them really pay attention to the little princess's birthday. several.
No, Zheng Xian's wife He Shi wanted to clean up the men in her family, but no one paid attention to her.
After all, the quarrel has gone so far as to kill his children. Who would believe that Zheng Sanlang's doting on his concubines and killing his wives was a lie?
Moreover, Zheng Sanlang and Qi's Xichan now live apart, which already explains the problem.
Seeing that no one paid attention to her several words, He also knew that she was no better than before.
Now Zheng Xian is just a doctor of Guozi, with a low official position and no real power in his hands. Naturally, the wives who took the initiative to befriend her in the early years also look down on her.
He was dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
You can't just scold everyone, right?
This is the palace, and she still wants to live well.
He brought Zheng Tingting with him to the palace this time to congratulate the princess on her birthday. Naturally, all the female relatives came.
However, several of the princess's brothers and sisters-in-law also came over, so naturally they took this opportunity to show off their magnanimity as brothers and sisters-in-law.
Prince Fu and Princess Fu also came, and they prepared a set of noodle dishes for the little princess. Although the little princess is young now, she will be able to get married in two years, so she will be able to use this noodle set.
The fifth prince Li Heng also came over, but he just handed over the gifts and then left. He was very neat and did not say a few words. It was not like King Fu who still found a presence here and almost had to ask for it again. Had a cup of tea.
Princess Fu is being sought after now. After all, she has a concubine and a mother-in-law, and her husband is also highly regarded by the saints. She vaguely heard that after the New Year, Prince Fu would be sent to do an important errand. Princess Fu felt this in her heart Call it a beauty!
There were so many princes, and the emperor only arranged for Prince Fu to go.
Why?
Isn’t it because we value King Fu!
Princess Fu showed off here for a while. The imperial concubine did not come, but she sent someone to deliver gifts.
The little princess's biological mother had a low status, and she was promoted to the concubine position after giving birth to the princess. Because of her low status, the little princess's presence in the palace was not that strong.
In fact, the little princess herself doesn't understand. Birthday celebrations have never been so lively in the past. What happened this year?
Little did she know that this was a deliberate excuse created by several forces who wanted to take the opportunity to gain connections.
After all, the crown prince has not yet been established, and Emperor Jingwen has always hated courtiers getting close to the princes, so only on such occasions can they talk and build relationships openly.
They are all female relatives, so this is Princess Fu’s home court.
The little princess, the little birthday girl, was left aside, guarding a lot of gifts, not knowing what to do. It was the grandmother beside her who ordered her to carry them back one after another.
Xie Rongzhao saw that the little princess was a little helpless, but she was actually a little pitiful.
Being born into a royal family, apart from fine clothes and fine food, nothing seems to be good.
Especially for princesses, they either get married or obey their father's will to get married. There are few princesses who can make their own decisions.
Someone finally organized a birthday party for her, but the actual protagonist was herself, which was really pitiful.
The biggest problem with this birthday banquet is that King Fu actually accompanied Emperor Jingwen here again. Did he want to tell everyone that he was the most favored person?
Zheng Tingting actually fell in love with the fifth prince at first sight when he came to send congratulatory gifts, and she felt that only such a handsome person could be worthy of her.
Zheng Tingting's shy and timid face could naturally be seen clearly by Mr. He on the side.
In the past, it would have been okay for Zheng Tingting to marry the fifth prince as a concubine. After all, Zheng Xian was the Minister of Rites at that time.
But now Zheng Xian is only a fifth-rank petty official. Even if Zheng Tingting is the legitimate daughter, she is not qualified to be the fifth prince's concubine. Although the side concubine is only a concubine.
Therefore, Mr. He wanted to give up his daughter's unrealistic fantasy as soon as possible.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the harem and before he left the palace, something unexpected happened.
King Fu and King An quarreled and even started fighting.
He and Zheng Tingting happened to be passing by, so they were naturally affected.
Zheng Tingting fell into Prince Fu's arms, and this scene was seen by many people. He almost fainted on the spot.
If she became the concubine of the fifth prince, she still thought that she could work out the relationship, and maybe it would work out.
But now that he is King Fu, he cannot even think about the position of concubine.
As princes, they have one wife and one wife, and only His Royal Highness is allowed to have two concubines.
Therefore, if Zheng Tingting marries into Prince Fu's palace, she may have to find a concubine.
When something like this happened, the two princes were immediately reprimanded by Emperor Jingwen, and then ordered them to kneel in front of the palace, which was regarded as their punishment.
As for Zheng Tingting, Emperor Jingwen disdained her.
She is just a daughter of an official. She clearly sees someone in front of her making a move and still pounces on her. Isn’t that mentally ill?
Zheng Tingting was wronged to say this.
She didn't know at first that it was Prince An and Prince Fu who were fighting. At first glance, she thought it was her favorite fifth prince.
After getting a little closer, he naturally realized that he was not the one he liked, so he didn't want to get close to her again.
But unfortunately, she staggered, and when Mrs. Zheng was about to help her, she had already jumped forward.
Prince Fu was closer to her. Perhaps he felt pity for Jiaohua, so he took a step back, half-turned around, and took Zheng Tingting into his arms.
Is this considered a hero saving a beauty?
King Fu is already in his early thirties, while Zheng Tingting has just celebrated the New Year and is only fifteen. This gap is quite big.
However, things had already happened, and Zheng Tingting was helped out of the palace with an almost pale face.
Afterwards, Zheng Tingting cried endlessly and even threatened to commit suicide to protect her reputation, but how could she really be willing to die?
Xie Rongzhao didn't expect that such a thing could happen as he thought that the banquet was over and everyone was about to leave the palace.
Xie Rongzhao had no doubts about the conflict between the two princes, because King An was an impulsive master.
King An was obviously punished more severely this time. Why?
He made the first move!
Xie Rongzhao secretly slandered that Prince An was most likely tricked by Prince Fu. (End of chapter)
