Chapter 406: Disappointment
Even if Empress Fang is the master of the middle palace, even if she has been in control of the palace for decades, she can only have that kind of authority in the imperial city, out of the imperial city, even if she is the queen, the people in her hands are at most just palace maids in Kunning Palace.
And the people who are surrounding the princess's mansion now are not something that Queen Fang can move.
Someone who is not Queen Fang......
Isn't it obvious whose person it would be?
Her royal brother, finally don't want to indulge her anymore?
Realizing this, she was obviously in the middle of summer, but the eldest princess of Changning felt a chill in her heart.
And Li Hui, no matter how excited she is to be a princess, she can see that something is wrong at this time, this is the princess's mansion, who dares to be so bold and fence off the princess's mansion?
Li Hui looked at the eldest princess of Changning, and only hoped that the eldest princess of Changning could scold the people outside and let those people get away.
However, to Li Hui's disappointment, the eldest princess of Changning had a depressed face, but she just stood in place for a while, and then led her back to the inner house.
"Mother, what the hell is going on?" Li Hui's voice could not hide the confusion.
At this time, where can she still have the slightest excitement and excitement?
She also vaguely felt that her return to Beijing this time did not seem to be necessarily a good thing.
The eldest princess of Changning looked at Li Hui, and after a long while, she shook her head with a wry smile: "Hui'er, do you think it is a good thing that you are named a princess at this moment?" You don't want to think about it, Queen Fang is afraid that she hates our mother and daughter to the core, she will be so kind to take you out of Baiyun Nunnery, knowing that you are going to be crowned a princess, she can still smile at you so calmly? β
Li Hui also began to feel a chill.
Li Hui was not completely unaware of these abnormalities that the eldest princess of Changning said, but she only cared about being happy after knowing that she was about to be crowned a princess.
She was just lucky, thinking that Empress Xu Shi Fang knew that these were the intentions of Emperor Jingwen, no matter how unhappy she was, she could only suppress it.
But......
How can there be so much luck?
Li Hui asked the question again after a long while: "Mother, what's going on?" β
The eldest princess of Changning told me about the recent events.
After Li Hui heard this, her face was incredulous, she pointed to her nose and said sharply: "Mother, do you mean that the emperor's uncle named me a princess, not to compensate me, but to let me go to Xiyi and kiss?" β
The eldest princess of Changning did not speak.
But at this time, her silence was already an answer.
Li Hui stood up suddenly, "Heqin? Going to Xiyi? I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere! I won't do this princess either, let whoever likes to do it! β
The eldest princess of Changning heard this, but she didn't comfort Li Hui as usual.
Don't be a princess, and don't get along?
These are not things that their mothers and daughters can do.
The eldest princess of Changning can only pin her hopes on the Empress Dowager Zhuang now, hoping that the Empress Dowager Zhuang can get the news before Emperor Jingwen makes a holy decree, and then stop Emperor Jingwen from issuing an edict.
Otherwise......
*
And just as the eldest princess of Changning hoped, Empress Dowager Zhuang did get the news before Emperor Jingwen issued the holy decree.
Empress Dowager Zhuang also waited until the eldest princess of Changning took Li Hui out of the palace, only to know that Li Hui had returned to Beijing yesterday, and she rested in Kunning Palace, and also knew that the eldest princess of Changning entered the palace early in the morning, and then quickly took Li Hui out of the palace, and she never even came to Cining Palace.
has lived in the harem for decades, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang naturally has a very keen sense of these unusual things, especially the eldest princess of Changning who entered the palace but did not come to Cining Palace, which made the Empress Dowager Zhuang even more suspicious.
If you are suspicious in this life, you will naturally let people inquire.
Although Empress Dowager Zhuang has been indifferent for many years, she still has useful manpower under her hands, no matter how hidden Empress Fang is in Li Hui's affairs, she still let Empress Dowager Zhuang find clues.
Empress Dowager Zhuang was not as naΓ―ve as Li Hui, and after knowing about this matter, she immediately thought about the worst, so it didn't take long to guess Empress Fang's calculations.
In this way, Empress Dowager Zhuang naturally couldn't sit still, and immediately led people to Emperor Jingwen.
Emperor Jingwen was preparing to make an order at this time.
Li Hui has returned, and it is impossible for the two countries to hold on to peace like this, and the matter of peace has been finalized, and the next peace negotiation will naturally be unhindered.
Knowing that Empress Dowager Zhuang was coming, Emperor Jingwen's brows furrowed slightly, but he soon relaxed.
He nodded to the eunuch who had sent the decree, and the eunuch put it away, took a few steps back, and then turned around to retreat.
"Wait!" Empress Dowager Zhuang shouted.
Although Empress Dowager Zhuang is the biological mother of Emperor Jingwen, and Emperor Jingwen has always had great respect for Empress Dowager Zhuang, but Empress Dowager Zhuang is usually very aware of proportion, no matter when she comes to see Emperor Jingwen, she will let the palace people inform, and she will not enter until Emperor Jingwen agrees, even if Emperor Jingwen has said many times that it is not necessary, she has always insisted on it.
But this time......
Out of concern for Li Hui in her heart, Empress Dowager Zhuang came in without waiting for Emperor Jingwen's response.
Moreover, he also summoned the eunuch who had sent the decree.
These are all things that Empress Dowager Zhuang would never do in the past.
was shouted by the Empress Dowager Zhuang like this, and the eunuch who sent the decree froze in place, and for a while he didn't know what to do, so he could only look back at Emperor Jingwen, until he saw Emperor Jingwen nodding lightly, and then retreated to the side and waited.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.
She took a few steps inside, "What is the will of the Holy One?" β
Emperor Jingwen was silent.
Although in Emperor Jingwen's heart, he had already decided to let Li Hui go to make peace and would not change his mind, but in front of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, Emperor Jingwen was a little unable to open his mouth.
After all, Emperor Jingwen couldn't be clearer about how much Empress Dowager Zhuang loved the eldest princess of Changning and Li Hui.
Last time, Emperor Jingwen issued an order to take away Li Hui's county lord title and sent her to Baiyun Nunnery, Empress Dowager Zhuang was afraid that there was already a gap in her heart, this time he wanted Li Hui to go and kiss, after Empress Dowager Zhuang knew, what kind of reaction would she have?
Although Emperor Jingwen did not speak, Empress Dowager Zhuang's heart was constantly sinking.
The silence at this time is already very telling.
Even if Empress Dowager Zhuang had already guessed the worst that might happen, but along the way here, she still had luck in her heart, hoping that these were just her thinking too much, in fact, Emperor Jingwen would not make such a decision.
But now, it seems, she was disappointed.
