Chapter 239 No Longer Helping in the Fight for the 5th Princess 15
"Fourth sister, keep it well. If you don't want it, I'll melt it."
An Rou knew the good intentions of her fifth sister, so she held it in her arms like a treasure and pulled her close to her.
"Princess, the princess is not good!"
"Why are you so rash? What happened?"
Nanny Song frowned, still needing to train him some more.
The young palace maid also knew that she had done something wrong, so she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to admit her mistake.
"Okay, what happened?"
"Reporting to the princess, Sister Xia He...she passed away."
After understanding the whole process, Xu Tao waved her hand and sent everyone away back to the inner room. Everyone thought the princess was in a bad mood and did not bother her any further.
She returned to the house and slipped into the space, where she began to work on the mature crops. After harvesting, she planted some medicinal herbs. It was completely impossible for her to be sad. Why should she be sad about something she had arranged herself?
The Third Prince, upon learning of Yuan Lingbai's misfortune, was furious and smashed his inkstone with it. He had initially calmed down and was skeptical about An Ning's words, but now he was 80% convinced.
It was good. Although he didn't care about his mother's family, he couldn't kill them just because someone wanted to. From then on, Xu Ze targeted the prince like a madman.
But they were just making small fights, so the prince just let them survive without biting anyone or annoying anyone. If he couldn't stand it anymore, he would fight back and make the other party quiet for ten days or half a month.
Half a year later, Concubine Shu brought good news again. The emperor was very happy. A large amount of rewards poured into Yunhua Palace. The palace servants were in high spirits and worked extra hard.
Upon hearing the news, the Queen smashed a lot of porcelain. "That old woman, how old is she and still pregnant? I will never allow that child to be born safely and healthily."
The nanny beside her really couldn't understand her master's anger. She was the mother of a country. Why should she care about a concubine giving birth to a child? No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, it would not threaten her status.
To put it bluntly, even if the emperor could live another ten years, the child would only be a little old then. The prince has been in the court for so long that he would have already controlled most of the power.
But she didn't dare to speak out when the Empress was furious. Last time, Nanny Liu lost her life because she spoke too much.
However, Amber, who was brought in by the Queen, was not afraid. She calmed down her master's anger and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry? Concubine Shu is in great favor now, and Princess An Ning often goes to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, blocking the way for many people, especially the disgraced Concubine Yuan."
"Amber, you're still the smartest. Make sure to let Concubine Yuan know about this."
"Amber obeys."
Xu Tao was completely unaware of the conversation between the master and servant of Fengxiang Palace. At this moment, she was happily touching her mother's belly.
Wen Yurui touched her daughter's face and said, "An Ning, what do you think of what you said when you thanked Mother last time?"
After thinking about it, she felt that it was a good idea. The Xie family had a good family tradition and there was no such thing as concubines. Although a prince consort was not allowed to take concubines, there was a big difference between voluntary and forced consent.
She also looked at Xie Huainian's portrait. The young man was good-looking and didn't have any concubines. He himself was willing.
"Mother, wait until I meet Mr. Xie before I speak."
Xu Tao had only met the other person once three years ago. She had agreed with her fourth sister to meet at Tianxiang Pavilion tomorrow.
"Okay, An Ning, see if you can close your eyes. If it's not suitable, your mother will not be angry with you."
Xu Tao nodded. She thanked her mother and her fourth sister for what they had said. She would see what happened next. She stayed with her mother for a while, leaving behind Dongxue, who knew medical skills.
Although there are some doctors in the mother's palace, she can guarantee that they are definitely not as good as Dongxue. Over the years, she has copied all the medical books she collected in the previous world for Dongxue. Her medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and may even surpass the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
She also learned a lot of medical skills and could easily cure common minor illnesses.
Wen Yuruiying didn't bother to be polite with her daughter. She kept the person by her side and took her with her wherever she went.
Since there was no sign of anything unusual happening to his father these days, Xu Tao officially accepted the five shadow guards and renamed them An Yi to An Wu.
She left two to protect herself and gave three more than ten thousand taels of silver, asking them to train some more, on the prerequisite that they were willing. If it was not enough, they could come to her for more.
"An Ning, let's go."
The two sisters took a carriage and headed straight for Tianxiang Pavilion. When they arrived, An Rou went to the next room, and Xu Tao went straight in. Seeing someone trying to bow to her, she quickly stopped him and said, "Thank you, Master. There's no need to be so polite."
Xie Huainian performed the ceremony in a proper manner and then looked up. The little girl had grown up a lot, her skin was fairer than snow, her almond eyes were like a clear spring, and she smiled sweetly. Unconsciously, a blush crept up around her ears.
"Is this princess pretty?"
"nice."
Xie Huainian realized what he had said, his face turned even redder, and he looked very flustered.
Xu Tao teased the boy for a while, and only let him go when he saw that the man was almost buried in the cracks of the ground.
The food came up one after another, and she didn't bother to talk, just filling her stomach first. When she was almost done, she put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "Mr. Xie, you know that this princess can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. If you do anything to let this princess down in the future, there will be no divorce, only widowhood. You must know that whether you are the prince consort or not, the relationship between the Wen and Xie families will not change."
"Princess, don't worry. I will never do anything to let you down. However, I do have one thing I hope you will forgive. My heart is not in the court."
Xu Tao was very satisfied with his idea, and she didn't like intrigue. The two chatted for a long time and were very satisfied with each other, and the marriage was quickly finalized.
Emperor Xuan Jin was unwilling at first. His daughter had to marry a top scholar. Xie Huainian was idle and obsessed with business, so what future could he have? But his daughter was obsessed with him, and Concubine Shu also spoke for him, so he could only grant the marriage reluctantly.
When the queen heard the news, she was so angry that she had a heart attack and immediately called the imperial physician.
"My Lady, why are you so angry? The Xie family is now in decline..."
'Snapped'
The Queen slapped him hard, the armor in her hand scratching a deep bloody mark on his face. Amber covered her face with her hands, her eyes bulging.
"Bitch, are you dissatisfied with me?"
As he said this, he reached out and slapped him a few more times, without any regard for the relationship between master and servant.
"I dare not." Amber knelt down quickly, lowered her head and said nothing.
"I dare not. You haven't completed what I asked you to do yet. Are you kidding me?"
"Your servant..."
The queen didn't want to listen to any more excuses, so she ordered someone to pull him away while she rubbed her swollen and painful forehead.
The people outside the hall were silent at the sight of the tragedy, not daring to make a sound. The master's personality had become increasingly unpredictable recently.
As the prince stepped into Fengxiang Palace, he felt a strange atmosphere. He asked the eunuch and learned what happened inside. He frowned slightly, sent the palace servants around him to comfort Amber, and went into the palace alone.
"Get out! Who allowed you to trespass without my permission?"
"Mother, it is your son who is your subject."
Seeing that it was her precious son, the queen tried to calm down and asked, "Han'er, did you find the thing?"
