CH 87

Jiaofang Hall.

"Mother, look at the second brother!"

Princess Hui'an had a stinky face, and a series of complaints popped out: "I, the eldest princess, went to Lu Mansion to watch the ceremony in person, and gave Lu Mingyu enough face. He is so good, he went to Lu Mansion quietly. When he arrived at Lu's house, he raised his nose horizontally and raised his eyes vertically at me." (1)

"Who am I provoking? If I knew this, I shouldn't have gone today!"

"You really shouldn't have gone!" The second Prince replied coldly without the slightest smile on his face.

Princess Hui'an was so angry that she almost lost her temper: "Mother, listen to him! Is this what a younger brother should say?"

Queen Qiao frowned slightly and looked at the Second Prince angrily: "Ajing, why are you talking to your sister like this. She went to Lu's house for me today, gave Fourth Miss Lu a generous gift, and stayed to watch the ceremony. She was busy for half a day, was it not for you."

The Second Prince's expression was indifferent, but his mouth was sharp: "Sister Huang is very dissatisfied with her future sister-in-law. She went to the Lu Mansion and put on the air of a high princess."

"Today is Fourth Miss Lu's hairpin ceremony. The royal sister sat proudly at the top, and King Xingyang took the second seat. When I went to Lu's house, everyone smiled and greeted me, but only the royal sister sat there motionless. ."

"Was that for me too?"

Princess Hui'an: "..."

Queen Qiao: "..."

Queen Qiao looked at Princess Hui'an.

Princess Hui'an refused to admit that she was showing off her power, raised her head slightly, and said sternly: "Where did I do wrong? The Royal father hasn't given you a marriage yet, so I, the eldest princess, should have taken the first seat at Lu Mansion. Do you still have to perform the junior ceremony?"

“Besides, even if it's a marriage when the eldest sister meets her younger siblings in the future, she should also be a little bit careful of her. Do you want me to bow my head and show my kindness with a smiling face?”

The more Princess Huian said, the more righteous she became: "Don't say that in the Royal Family, even if it is the ordinary people's family, the married daughter comes back to her mother's house, she is a sister-in-law. Everyone has to respect a little bit.”

"My father is the Emperor, my mother is the Empress, and my younger brother is the prince. With my status, why can't I be arrogant!"

Queen Qiao: "..."

Looking at her daughter who looked righteous, and then at her son who looked unhappy, Queen Qiao really had a headache.

After she married Li Yuan, she soon became pregnant and gave birth to her eldest daughter. It was also at that time that Li Yuan had an affair with Meng Jiaoniang in private.

She was angry and embarrassed, and she cried many times in the middle of the night when no one was there. After Meng passed the door and gave birth to the eldest son Li Yi, Li Yuan had less and less time to come to the main courtyard.

Her time and energy were also put into her babbling daughter. She couldn't help pampering her lively and lovely daughter.

She never thought that this habit would lead to Princess Hui'an's unruly and willful temper.

She has only one son and one daughter, and both of them were her heart. Now that the two siblings are upset, who should she favor?

Queen Qiao calmed down and coaxed the angry Second Prince first: "Ajing, don't be annoyed. Your eldest sister has had such a temper since she was a child. As a younger brother, you should always bear with it."

She raised her face again and scolded Princess Hui'an: "I asked you to go to the Lu family to show my love to the Lu family, and also to enhance your relationship with your future sister-in-law, not to let you put on airs and show your prestige. My dear, I can't forgive you for the first time!"

"Queen Mother!"

The Second Prince and Princess Hui'an spoke together. They looked at each other and opened their mouths at the same time: "Sister Huang's temper, you shouldn't let her go everywhere, she's becoming more and more unreasonable."

"I didn't do anything wrong, and I don't need the tolerance of my second brother."

After both finished speaking, they snorted coldly at the same time.

Queen Qiao had a headache and was also a little angry: "You two, shut up for me! You are brothers and sisters, you should support each other in harmony and love. What is going on now?"

"Don't say anything, just go out and let me be quiet for a moment."

The Second Prince didn't make a sound again, saluted his mother, and left.

Princess Hui'an was so angry that she refused to go: "If I don't go, I won't go! Mother, you make it clear to me today, are you supporting your future daughter-in-law or your own daughter!"

Queen Qiao: "..."

Queen Qiao had to coax Princess Hui'an with good words and rewarded a bunch of gold, silver, jade, silk, and satin. Princess Hui'an calmed down her anger and walked away with a sullen face.



The world was finally quiet.

Fortunately, she only gave birth to this pair of debt collectors. If there were two more, she could have died of anger.

Queen Qiao sat on the phoenix chair and let out a long sigh.

Cailan silently brought a cup of tea, and Queen Qiao drank the tea slowly. The light tea fragrance was refreshing, and the depression in her heart finally calmed down a little.

At this moment, a palace maid walked in quietly and reported in a low voice: "Informing the Empress, Su Zhaorong went to the Wenhua Palace."

Queen Qiao paused and looked at the maid who reported the news: "When did Su Zhaorong go to Wenhua Palace?"

The maid replied respectfully, "Before a stick of incense."

As the head of the harem, it was not difficult for Queen Qiao to put some eyeliner in Su Zhaorong's Yihua Palace. Su Zhaorong's every move could not be concealed from Queen Qiao.

In the past, Su Zhaorong was fairly honest and at ease. During this period of time, there was an abnormality in speech and behavior. She went to Wenhua Hall today to ask to see Emperor Yongjia, but I don't know what's going to happen...

Queen Qiao frowned, thought for a moment, and instructed: "Let people keep an eye on the movement over the Wenhua Palace. If there is anything unusual, report back immediately."

After half an hour, another palace maid reported: "Reporting to the Empress, Su Zhaorong came out of Wenhua Hall with red eyes."

Su Zhaorong had a weak temperament, tears at every turn, and red eyes were common.

Queen Qiao didn't take it to heart, and asked casually, "What did Su Zhaorong go to Wenhua Palace for? Did the Emperor seem angry?"

"No one knows what Su Zhaorong said when she met the Emperor alone. However, the person who sent the news said that the Emperor was not angry and seemed to be in a good mood."

Queen Qiao hummed, her mind spinning.

She gave Lu Mingyu a generous gift, which means, as long as you are not stupid, you can guess. It seemed that Su Zhaorong went to Wenhua Hall today for the marriage of the Third Prince.

I don't know which girl Su Zhaorong has set her eyes on.

That evening, Queen Qiao knew what was going on.

Emperor Yongjia came to Jiaofang Palace and talked to Queen Qiao about the decree to marry the Second prince and the Third prince: "...they are both sixteen years old, and they have reached the age of getting married and starting a family."

"I thought about it, and I will give them a marriage tomorrow."

Don't write any ink, you can get married directly.

Queen Qiao was mentally prepared and was not surprised when she heard this. She replied with a smile: "What the emperor said is true. A Hao is only two months younger than A Jing, so it's better to marry them together."

"By the way, I don't know which girl the emperor chose for the Third prince?"

1. What she means was that the prince showed an attitude toward her in Lu's house.

BTW, how cute and relatable is the fight between the two!! This is what makes this novel so good. Characters even the royal family feel so real.
