Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters waste crown princess
Dou Nian returned home from the palace. He asked the housekeeper, "What did the eldest lady do today?"
After the previous letter was intercepted by him, Dou Yaojin spent the past few days learning the rules at home peacefully. However, after the previous incident, Dou Nian could no longer trust her, and even completely lost confidence in this daughter.
The steward said: "The eldest lady has been learning the rules from the palace nuns in the past two days, and even cooked soup for Madam herself."
"The old duck soup is ready, sir. Would you like a bowl? This is also the filial piety of a big girl." The steward didn't know that Dou Yaojin's position as princess had been taken away. He also didn't know what Dou Yaojin did.
Just seeing that the master and the eldest daughter seemed to have a quarrel in the past few days, he thought of building a way for the two of them to rebuild their old relationship. After all, the eldest daughter will be the princess in the future, maybe even the queen, and the master can't stay at odds with the eldest daughter.
Instead, he pushed the eldest girl towards the Lin family more and more.
Dou Nian twitched the corners of his lips, and his tone was a bit sinister, "She now knows how to be filial."
He had also heard that when Yao Jin was in the Lin family, she often personally cooked for her grandmother and uncles to show her filial piety. However, this was the first time that his father and Jin's stepmother were treated like this. Only if something happened did he know this.
To please them, it's not just ordinary lies.
Thinking of this, Dou Nian felt strange in his heart. Originally, he thought of calling Dou Yaojin and telling her about the cancellation of the engagement, so that she would know better. But now... he has lost this idea.
He called his wife Jin and told her about the incident.
Jin really didn't expect that Dou Yaojin would mess with the princess he had obtained. She nodded slightly and said: "I will pay more attention to you these days and never let the family affairs spread outside."
Even if she is angry about what Dou Yaojin did, she still has to give her a good ending. She cannot really let her get a bad reputation. She has a daughter and cannot be implicated by Dou Yaojin.
Dou Nian has always believed in the Jin family in this regard, and his wife has a good heart, which makes him feel at ease.
Jin asked: "In the future, are you going to see the eldest daughter for marriage?"
She only felt that this job was very difficult to do. Once she was selected as the crown prince, she was afraid that the eldest daughter would be even more angry. How could a slightly inferior marriage get her attention. But Dou Yaojin broke off the engagement due to health reasons.
In the eyes of outsiders, she has "flaws", and she is afraid that good people will not look down on her. With the comparison, the eldest girl may not think that her stepmother is deliberately tormenting her.
Dou Nian was silent for a moment and said, "Don't worry yet." He seemed to have remembered something and sneered, "Didn't she always think that her grandmother was the best? Then she would ask her grandmother to arrange the marriage for her."
Only in this way can she see her maternal ancestral family clearly, so as not to really think that the Lin family is good people.
Jin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Dou Yaojin's marriage was really a hot potato for her, so it would be good to get rid of it.
She kept chanting to Buddha, "I hope that after this incident, the big girl will be more attentive and sensible."
She didn't expect her to be considerate of her kindness, just don't hold back the family.
…
Dou Yaojin still doesn't know that her position as the crown princess is gone. These days, she has been working hard to show off her performance in order to convince her father that she has corrected herself.
But three days later, two nuns sent from the palace asked her to resign.
Dou Yaojin had a bad feeling. She hadn't finished learning the rules in the palace, so why was her grandma about to leave?
"But I didn't study well?" she couldn't help but ask.
These two nuns planned to leave after receiving the order from the palace. They secretly sent Dou Yaojin's letter back then. After all, one of the purposes of their coming here was to examine Dou Yaojin's character. These days, they
They knew more or less. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have taught Dou Yaojin the rules until she got married, and finally accompanied her into the palace as a dowry mama to help her establish a foothold in the East Palace. Now the superiors can't wait to send her to the palace.
They recalled him, which showed that Dou Yaojin had lost his sacred heart.
Even though she knew it well, Aunt Feng already had an impeccable smile on her face, "Miss Dou is as smart as ice and snow. I have never seen anyone who learns the rules faster and better than you."
What she said was indeed not a lie. Dou Yaojin was indeed smart, and he even learned inferences about other cases when it came to learning etiquette.
Dou Yaojin lowered her long eyelashes and said, "Will grandma come back? I have gotten used to the company of two grandma these days. I am not used to it when grandma is gone."
Aunt Feng said: "If we are destined, we will still serve the eldest girl in the future." She drew an impossible cake, but she didn't say it to death. The decree from above has not yet been issued.
Dou Yaojin was extremely flustered. The departure of the two nuns was obviously a very disturbing signal. But she also knew in her heart that she could not show dissatisfaction or resistance to the orders from above and had to accept them in full.
She tried her best to show a gentle smile, "Thanks to the serious teachings of the two nuns, I have learned a lot these days."
"Red Bird, send a thank you gift to the two nuns."
Although this happened in a hurry and Dou Yaojin was caught off guard, Dou Yaojin still presented a big gift - twenty taels of gold, a pair of gold bracelets and two pieces of cloud silk to both nuns.
After seeing off the two nuns in person, Dou Yaojin forced herself back into the house and sat directly on the couch, her hands and feet feeling cold.
"Hinquet, what do you mean by the palace?"
When Dou Yaojin was reprimanded by her father for writing a letter, Dou Yaojin was frightened all night. Seeing that there was no response from the palace, she felt relieved. Presumably, her father was also happy to have a princess in the family, so he should have kept the matter a secret. In order to express himself
, she endured the disgust in her heart to honor her stepmother, and even inquired after her younger brothers and sisters, showing the magnanimity that an eldest sister should have.
The red bird thought for a while and said: "Maybe the nobles in the palace want to know more about you, girl, from the two nuns."
"Or maybe you have already learned enough, and you have to continue learning the rest after entering the palace."
"The girl is so good. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so there is nothing to worry about."
After being praised by his confidant maid, Dou Yaojin felt a little relieved.
The more this happened, the more she had to calm down and not get into trouble.
So after the two nuns returned to the palace, Dou Yaojin continued to do whatever he had to do.
However, on June 3rd, an imperial edict came from the palace, which also shocked all the nobles in the capital.
"...The eldest lady of the Dou family is ill. According to the divination by Qin Tian Jian, she is in trouble with the crown prince and is not suitable to be the crown prince."
Dou Yaojin knelt on the ground, completely stunned by the sudden imperial edict, and her expression was blank.
She was deposed? She will no longer be the crown princess?
