The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 142 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (7)

Chu Yuhe watched Emperor Zhaohui and the fifth princess Li Handan leave together, then he walked to his younger brother Chu Yuxuan and wanted to take the jade ring from his hand.

But his younger brother, who had always been very obedient to him, clenched his hands and held the jade ring tightly in his palm: "Brother, this is given to me by the fifth princess."

"Second brother, let me keep such a valuable thing for you first." Chu Yuhe explained with a smile, "It is a serious crime to lose the royal property, and the fifth princess's nickname is engraved on this jade ring. It would be bad if it fell into the hands of others."

"No." Chu Yuxuan insisted. He took out a purse from his waist and carefully put the jade ring away. "This is mine, mine alone. I can protect it."

Chu Yuhe didn't expect that his usually generous brother would be so stingy in this matter. He didn't even let him take a look at the jade ring, let alone play with it.

With some guesses in mind, Chu Yuhe's face gradually looked grim.

"Brother Yuhe, isn't it just a piece of jade ornament? I'll give it to you." Seeing that the two people seemed to be arguing, Li Danruo took the initiative to say, "This is mine, I'll give it to you!"

Li Danruo handed one of her jade pendants to Chu Yuhe, but he didn't take it. However, his younger brother Chu Yuxuan hurriedly took it and put it in his hand.

The third princess Li Danruo gave a piece of bright red agate with a pomegranate carved on it. There was also a small "pomegranate" character in the corner of the accessory.

Unlike the nanny beside the fifth princess Li Handan, the wet nanny of the third princess Li Danruo did not stop it, and even watched the scene with a smile.

The wet nurse of the Third Princess Li Danruo knew very well that the Queen had originally intended to marry into the Anguo Mansion. Although both were legitimate princesses, the Fifth Princess, no matter how favored she was, did not have a strong maternal family, let alone a brother who could ascend to the throne in the future.

If the third princess Li Dan is the queen's biological daughter, and she has a brother who is the second prince, it is almost obvious who will be more powerful in the future.

Things had developed to this point, and Chu Yuhe could only temporarily accept the jade ornaments given by the third princess. Not only that, he also gave her the jade pendant on his waist with her expectant eyes.

When handing the jade pendant over, Chu Yuhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because this jade pendant was randomly chosen by the servant beside him when he entered the palace today, and it did not have any special meaning.

He would never make the same mistakes he made in his previous life again in this life. The third princess Li Danruo had already been spoiled by the queen. She was definitely not a good match for her, let alone the mistress of the Duke's Mansion.

Fortunately, there is still time in this life. The fifth princess Li Handan is still young. He can "cultivate" her completely according to his own preferences and make her the most suitable hostess for the Duke's Mansion in the future.

The fifth princess Li Handan, who was being missed, was having dinner with Emperor Zhaohui at this moment. Actually, they only had some snacks since it was not yet dinner time.

During the meal, Emperor Zhaohui even asked his daughter's nanny to leave.

"Huan Niang, you can eat whatever you want at your father's place. Let's not follow those stupid rules today." Emperor Zhaohui handed a piece of cake to his daughter.

"No, Daddy." Li Handan frowned and shook her head. "If I'm disrespectful and Madam finds out, I'll be punished."

As soon as these words came out, a dark light flashed in Emperor Zhaohui's eyes, but the smile on his face did not diminish: "Then you eat slowly."

Wang Fuhai had been with the emperor for many years, so he certainly knew that even though his master was smiling at the moment, he was already angry.

Wang Fuhai retreated cautiously and asked his apprentice to look into the matter of the Fifth Princess's upbringing by her nanny. After all, if his master asked about it, he couldn't be without an answer.

Emperor Zhaohui ate cakes with his daughter, looked at the time and decided to review today's memorials first.

"Wang Fuhai, take the Fifth Princess downstairs to rest first." Emperor Zhaohui looked at his daughter's slightly wrinkled face, "Niang Huan, you have already taken etiquette lessons this morning, so stay here with Daddy in the afternoon!

Someone will speak to the nanny for you. This nanny is very good, and daddy wants to reward her!"

"Really?" Li Handan was a little confused. The nanny had clearly told her that she had done very poorly this morning and asked her to practice well in the afternoon, otherwise she would be punished.

Emperor Zhaohui picked up his daughter again and tapped her nose: "Daddy's Huanniang is so cute and so smart. She is the best at everything she does."

Li Handan felt a little shy when her father praised her, and buried her head in Emperor Zhaohui's arms.

Where she couldn't see, her father, Emperor Zhaohui, had an unusually cold look in his eyes.
