Chapter 445 Mother, what should I do now?
Princess Yongle said this while sizing up the Fifth Prince's expression.
Unexpectedly, before he could finish the rest of his words, he was interrupted by the fifth prince.
"Big sister, please be careful with your words. Third brother is not that kind of person. Even if the Rui Palace is frugal, Third brother will not use the dowry of his future wife at will."
The fifth prince frowned, his slightly chubby face tensed, and he was obviously very unhappy.
However, in front of the Queen, he forced himself to suppress the unhappiness in his heart. However, he was still young and his training was not yet good enough, so some of his displeasure still showed on his face.
Princess Yongle choked up, bit her lip and glanced at the Fifth Prince.
Did he not understand her implication, or did he really not care?
If it is the latter, it will be difficult to deal with.
But no matter what, the relationship between her and the fifth prince cannot be strained.
Princess Yongle thought about this and forced a smile on her face. "Look at you, why are you so anxious? I was just saying it casually."
"Our royal family has everything they want. How could I be so short-sighted as to care about the Shen family's money? My third brother is the legitimate son, brave and good at fighting. In the future, maybe the whole thing... will belong to him. How could he set his sights on the small Shen family?"
Princess Yongle explained with a smile, not forgetting to give a hint.
The Fifth Prince's expression grew even colder. He looked at Princess Yongle, his eyes filled with seriousness as he said, "Big Sister, you should think carefully before you speak next time. Father is in good health. If he hears what you say, he will definitely punish you."
The eldest princess has always acted without scruples. It was fine in the past, as they were all trivial matters, but now she even dares to say such things.
As expected, Concubine Zhou fell, and the eldest princess became a little too proud of herself.
But it would be fine if she was punished for speaking without restraint, but she should not implicate her third brother.
When this was pointed out directly, the smile on Princess Yongle's face froze.
In the past, the Fifth Prince would not, nor dared, speak to her like this. He was always respectful and polite, but today he had changed quite a bit. Could it be that he really...
Although the fifth prince is the youngest prince in the palace, he is not the emperor's favorite prince because of the emperor's strict discipline. He has always been respectful and kind to everyone since he was a child. This is the first time he has been like this.
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
At this moment, the queen, who seemed to have been talking to Shun Guipin, turned her head with a kind smile on her face, as if she was unaware of the subtle atmosphere between the two.
She said to the Fifth Prince, "It's getting late. Your mother and your sister won't disturb your rest. You should take good care of your health so that your father can rest assured."
As she spoke, the Queen stood up, patted Shun Guipin's hand, and said, "You should also accompany the Fifth Prince for a while."
"Yes, I respectfully bid farewell to Her Majesty." Concubine Shun quickly stood up and saluted.
"Your son respectfully bids farewell to your mother," said the fifth prince.
It was not until the Queen and Princess Yongle disappeared at the door that Concubine Shun looked at the Fifth Prince.
Her brows furrowed as she spoke worriedly, "How could you speak to Princess Anle like that? Have you forgotten her temper?"
"Although she has been somewhat tolerant of you, it's hard to change her nature. If you offend her, what will you do if she causes trouble for you in the future?"
"She is the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager, and even in the future she will be the eldest princess. We can't afford to offend her!"
"do you know?"
They were all sitting together. Although the Queen pulled Shun Guipin aside to talk, how could Shun Guipin not have heard the quarrel between the siblings?
If even she heard it, then the queen must have heard it too.
Shun Guipin has always been timid. At the moment, besides being worried, she was also relieved that the queen did not make trouble on the spot.
The fifth prince knew that his words were inappropriate, but he really couldn't help it.
Seeing that Shun Guipin's face turned pale with fear, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She said hesitantly, "Mother, I understand. I will be more careful with my words and actions in the future."
……
As for the Queen and Princess Yongle, as soon as they left the Fifth Prince's bedroom, Princess Yongle could no longer hold back her emotions.
Just as she was about to speak, the Queen gave her a cold look and said, "Hold it down. There are too many people here. If you have anything to say, wait until you get back to Fengyi Palace."
With just one sentence, Princess Yongle swallowed back all the words in her heart.
The two of them walked back to Fengyi Palace at a brisk pace, without even taking a sedan chair.
As soon as they entered Fengyi Palace, the queen sat on the phoenix chair with a grim expression, waved her hand, and sent everyone in the palace away.
The palace door was closed, leaving only the mother and daughter in the room.
Princess Yongle couldn't wait to speak: "Mother, what should we do now?"
