Chapter 351: Yun'er only told her mother
The eldest princess didn't know what to do so as not to become an unloved child.
She remembered what Empress De said, that if the pregnant empress and the baby went to heaven to become a fairy, she would still be the only princess.
As long as she hits their big bellies hard, the unborn imperial sister will turn into a fairy!
Empress De said that being a fairy is fun and you can even fly in the sky!
but……
The eldest princess suddenly remembered that one time when she was catching dragonflies outside, she ran too fast and didn’t see the road, and accidentally bumped into a big tree.
That time, her forehead was broken and it hurt a lot...
If she bumped into Empress Rou, Empress Rou would probably be in pain too, right?
She didn't want to let her younger sister steal everyone's love, but she also liked Empress Rou and didn't want to make her feel sad...
The eldest princess's face was wrinkled with annoyance and she was about to cry.
Shen Zhinian noticed that she was in a bad mood, and asked gently, "Why is the eldest princess unhappy? Can you talk to Empress Rou about it?"
The eldest princess bit her lip and shook her head.
She had promised Empress De that she would not tell anyone the secret between them. Only those who keep their words are good children!
Xiao Mingzi smiled and said, "My queen, you see, the eldest princess is still worried at such a young age."
Shen Zhinian changed his approach: "Okay, if the eldest princess doesn't want to say it, then Madam Rou won't ask."
"Can the eldest princess tell Madam Rou how to make you happier?"
Empress Rou is so gentle, she likes Empress Rou so much!
The eldest princess looked at Shen Zhinian's belly, pursed her lips, and asked sadly, "Empress Rou, if you gave birth to a royal sister, would you not like Yun'er as much as you do now?"
"Now that the emperor has another princess, will he forget Yun'er?"
"Do the ladies in the harem only like the emperor's younger sister?"
Shen Zhinian frowned: "Of course not!"
"Princess, who told you this?"
Nanny Xiao and the others also changed their expressions.
Who is so bold as to gossip like this in front of the princess?
The nannies turned pale with fear: "Madam Concubine Rou, please understand! We have never said such words in front of the Grand Princess. I don't know where the Grand Princess heard it from!"
The eldest princess remembered her promise, covered her mouth and shook her head: "Yun'er can't tell!"
Although the eldest princess treated her very well, they were not mother and daughter after all, and Shen Zhinian was afraid that if she continued to ask, it would backfire.
She touched the eldest princess's head and said gently, "Okay, the eldest princess won't tell you, and Empress Rou won't force you."
"Go and have fun."
There were many new and interesting things in Zhongcui Palace, and the eldest princess' attention was quickly attracted, and she forgot about the previous episode.
Shen Zhinian looked at the nanny in the lead, and his expression became serious: "When you go back today, you will report everything that happened just now to the Imperial Concubine without missing a word!"
"And tell the Imperial Concubine that there is a very high possibility that there are people in the harem who are harboring evil intentions and want to use the eldest princess to do evil!"
"Even if it's not the case, that person wants to use such words to make the princess live in fear and worry. His heart is damnable!"
"The Imperial Concubine is the closest person to the Grand Princess in this world. Her patient questioning will be much more effective than my questioning the Grand Princess."
The nannies understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately said, “Yes!”
Children are full of energy and get tired quickly. Soon, the eldest princess fell asleep while playing and was carried back to Yongshou Palace by her nannies.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, everyone in the harem, from concubines to palace maids, has to change into new clothes. Concubine Liu is looking at the account book for this quarter.
Seeing the eldest princess coming back, she put down the account book and asked, "Is Yun'er having fun in Zhongcui Palace? Did you encounter any bad things?"
One of the nannies carried the sleeping princess away to rest, and the other nanny repeated what had happened according to Shen Zhinian's instructions.
After hearing this, Concubine Liu's beautiful face suddenly became fierce, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "How insolent!"
"Yun'er was raised with great care by me, Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother! Even if there are the second princess, the third princess, the fourth princess, the fifth princess... no one can shake Yun'er's status and love!"
"Who on earth is so bold as to speak nonsense in front of Yun'er? I will pull out their tongues!"
The nanny and the palace maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, calm down!"
"Even if we were given a hundred guts, we wouldn't dare to say anything nonsense in front of the princess! It must be some bastard who wanted to take advantage of the princess and said that to her!"
Concubine Liu was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, and her eyes were as cold as ice: "I want to see who is so brave!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she got up and went to the eldest princess's room to guard it personally.
When she woke up, she saw her mother right in front of her. The eldest princess yawned, squinted her eyes and threw herself into her arms: "Mother."
Concubine Liu touched the eldest princess' chubby face, without showing her anger, and asked gently: "Yun'er, can you tell your mother who told you that if there is a second princess in the palace, no one will like you anymore?"
Talking about this, the eldest princess felt sad.
But she still shook her head firmly: "Mother, no. Yun'er promised to keep it a secret. You can't tell anyone about this."
"Didn't you say that too? A person who doesn't keep his word is not a good child."
Concubine Liu: “…”
In order to please His Majesty, she has been teaching Yun'er according to the principles in the books of sages.
Yun'er is indeed just like the name Your Majesty gave her, well-educated, well-mannered, and a woman of great beauty.
But at this moment, Concubine Liu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Did she teach the child too rigidly?
After all, they were mother and daughter. Concubine Liu understood the eldest princess, so she slowed down her voice and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Yes, mother did teach Yun'er that people should keep their promises and keep their words."
"Since Yun'er promised that person to keep it a secret and not tell anyone else, then she should do as she is told."
"But, the mother is not someone else! Isn't that right, Yun'er?"
The eldest princess tilted her head and thought for a while: "It seems so..."
Her mother is her most beloved mother, how could it be someone else?
Concubine Liu continued, "That's right! Mother is not someone else. Yun'er cannot tell others secrets, but she can tell Mother."
"This doesn't count as breaking the promise. Yun'er is still a good kid!"
The eldest princess was very well-educated. If Shen Zhinian asked about this matter, no matter how much she liked Concubine Rou, she would do what she promised.
But since her mother was no one else, the eldest princess had no scruples: "Mother, please ask everyone to leave. Yun'er is only speaking to mother!"
