Chapter 1050 The servant girl advised her master not to come, which was just as good.
When Granny Feng and the head palace maid Shu Xiu heard that they would be leaving the capital with the Emperor and Empress the next day, they were overjoyed...
Living within these high palace walls year after year, it's truly rare to see the scenery outside the palace.
The two happily accepted the order and hurried off to make preparations.
Empress Luan Xiying, who was sitting on the daybed and eating cherries, inadvertently turned her head and saw a jade tablet on the table next to her, which was used by members of the royal family to request an audience with the emperor.
"what is that?
Who sent him to the palace?
Empress Luan Xiying pointed to the jade pendant and asked.
When the palace maid saw the Empress asking about the jade pendant, she quickly stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Your Majesty, that jade pendant is the request for an audience with the newly appointed Princess Consort of Prince Yi's residence."
When that plaque was delivered, Your Majesty was resting with your eyes closed on the couch, and the Emperor forbade that you be disturbed.
She also said that Her Majesty the Empress hadn't had time to see Princess Yi these past two days, and would arrange for her to come to the palace for an audience in a couple of days!
"I see!"
Empress Luan Xiying nodded upon hearing this, then raised the corners of her lips in a slight smile...
The newly crowned Princess Yi... Hehe!
Luan Xiying knew that Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi, had come up with the idea of feigning illness in order to avoid collecting the bodies of Zhang Jinyan's family.
He thought that as long as he fell into a coma and there was no principal wife in charge of the Prince Yi's mansion, the task of collecting the bodies of Zhang Jinyan's family would not need to be arranged by the Prince Yi's mansion!
Left with no other choice, the emperor had to send someone else.
And the imperial edict given to him by the emperor was naturally invalidated!
But what Xiao Jingyi didn't expect was that the emperor would not do as he wished.
In a fit of pique, the Emperor issued another imperial edict, elevating his concubine, Shui, who was born out of wedlock, to the position of principal wife, and placing this new wife, Shui, in charge of the Prince Yi's residence!
Heh... She was just a concubine born out of wedlock, but now she's become the legitimate wife of Prince Yi for the first time ever. Let's see how she manages Prince Yi's mansion and how she collects the bodies of Zhang Jinyan's family!
However… this Consort Shui… oh no, I mean Princess Yi, actually thought of going to the palace to pay her respects and express her gratitude!
interesting!
She really thinks she's a proper princess!
Could it be that she was thinking... going to the palace to pay her respects and express her gratitude, and then addressing the Emperor and herself as "Imperial Uncle" and "Imperial Aunt," would completely secure her status as a legitimate royal daughter-in-law and her position as Princess Yi?
That's a good idea!
Let her have a few sweet dreams first!
The newly crowned Princess Consort Shui Simiao was indeed happily dreaming!
However, though the dream was beautiful, the reality before him made him somewhat unhappy!
Upon receiving the imperial edict, Shui Simiao immediately sent someone back to the residence of the Vice Minister of Revenue to report the good news.
Shui Simiao thought that her father, aunt, and even her stepmother would come to the Prince Yi's residence to congratulate her as the newly crowned Princess Yi as soon as possible, that very evening.
Even if I can't come today, I must make a date to visit and offer my congratulations tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, the old woman Bian, whom she had sent to deliver the good news, returned and said that only the Vice Minister had given her five taels of silver, asking her to convey his congratulations and to take good care of the ailing Prince Yi, and to be careful in everything she did!
Besides that, they didn't say when their Vice Minister's Office would come to Prince Yi's residence to offer their congratulations, and then they sent her back!
The legal mother didn't even show her face!
Shui Simiao was furious...
She was originally the daughter of a concubine in the Vice Minister's household, and was not valued... She had nothing to say;
Later, her father sent her to Prince Yi's mansion to become a concubine...
Although a concubine can be listed in the imperial genealogy, in the end, she is just a concubine with a better name, and she is still not valued... She accepts it!
But now that she is the proper Princess Consort of Yi, her own family still doesn't take her seriously, which is a bit unbearable!
When Bian Mama returned with the news, she saw that Shui Simiao's face was not good. She knew all too well what Shui Simiao was thinking at that moment, so she quickly came to her side and gently comforted her, "Your Highness, in my opinion, Your Highness doesn't need to think so much."
Overthinking only makes you unhappy; why bother?
This servant thinks that the Vice Minister must have realized that it wouldn't be appropriate to arrive at this time to offer congratulations in such a ostentatious manner!
Shui Simiao looked up and asked Bian Mama with a puzzled expression.
Granny Bian hurriedly continued, "Your Highness, think about it, our Prince Yi is still seriously ill and in a coma!"
If the Vice Minister and his wife... and your mother were to visit at this time... would they be offering congratulations or inquiring about your health?
To offer congratulations, the prince is currently ill;
Speaking of visiting someone in the hospital... Princess Consort, have you forgotten? His Majesty previously ordered our Prince Yu to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors!
The Emperor also said that no one was allowed to visit the Prince while he was in seclusion to reflect on his mistakes!
If the Vice Minister and his entourage were to visit at this time, wouldn't that be suspected of disobeying the imperial decree?
Your Highness, have you forgotten that our Prince is currently in seclusion reflecting on his mistakes? The people at the door certainly haven't forgotten!
If the Vice Minister and his wife really come, the guards at the gate won't dare to invite them into the mansion!
If the Vice Minister and his entourage can't even get through the gates of Prince Yi's residence and have to turn back... wouldn't the Vice Minister's residence lose face big time?
Therefore, it was right for the people from our Vice Minister's residence not to come at this time!
Your Highness, what do you say?
