After returning to the palace, Luo Junyao found out why Xie Jun could not even wait for the Chinese New Year and drove the family out of the mansion. When Luo Junyao entered the hall, Princess Mu An was sitting in the hall crying with her head down.
He looked a little embarrassed next to her.
Standing behind them were the crown prince of Prince Mu'an and two legitimate daughters.
"I've met the princess." Seeing Luo Junyao come in, everyone quickly stood up to greet her.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down." She walked to Xie Yan and sat down, and quietly held his hand.
She could tell with just one glance that Xie Yan's patience had obviously reached its limit. Xie Yan didn't like to get angry in front of others, but that didn't mean that he had the patience to listen to people's meaningless blabbering and crying.
Xie Yan held her slender fingers with his backhand, and the impatience in his eyes dissipated a lot.
"Why are you back so early?" Xie Yan asked softly.
Luo Junyao said: "Everyone is not interested today, so we came back early. What's wrong with sister-in-law? Why are you crying here?"
Princess Mu An quickly wiped her tears and said: "I made the princess laugh, I, we are really... alas..."
Luo Junyao said: "Don't be anxious, please speak slowly." I have plenty of time to listen to gossip.
This matter cannot be entirely blamed on the ruthlessness of Xie Chan and his wife. The second wife has been suffering from being suppressed for many years, so it is considered good manners not to take the opportunity to retaliate.
Now that they have taken the upper hand, they naturally don't mind showing off any more, but the big house refuses to calm down and really pisses off Princess Mu'an.
Since King Mu and Princess Mu were taken away and never returned, Concubine Fan's sons and grandsons have died several times. She was probably frightened and went crazy. These days, they always say that Xie Xun and Xie Yan conspired with outsiders to destroy Prince Mu's house.
, she deliberately wanted to harm their eldest family. That was all. She relied on her decades of management of the family and her deep roots in the palace to compete with Princess Mu An for power.
The servants of the palace are not stupid, who can't see that the big house is in trouble now? How can Concubine Fan compete with Princess Mu An?
At that time, Concubine Fan relied on her favor and her eldest grandson was adopted as an adopted son by Xie Yan, so she chose several wives with good family backgrounds for her other grandchildren.
Now that these grandsons-in-law were all widows, she instigated them to use their natal families to put pressure on Prince Mu'an, asking him to divide the property of Prince Mu's mansion and the big house in half.
How could Princess Mu An agree?
When King Mu was convicted, all his private property would be confiscated. Even if his title was not taken away, Xie Yan would be the one to take care of his brother who had never made any serious mistakes. Princess Mu's dowry and private property belonged to Xie Yan.
Even if Xie Yan was not interested, Xie Jin would not dare to move.
Apart from this, where else is there any private property belonging to King Mu?
The property of the Prince's Palace belongs to the Prince's Palace of Mu'an County, so naturally it is impossible to distribute it to the big house.
Concubine Fan was even more furious when she saw this. She actually bribed an outsider to destroy the reputation of the two girls and blackmailed Prince Mu'an and his wife.
Fortunately, the two girls were lucky and escaped partially, but the eldest girl was still injured in order to protect her younger sister. She still has a wound on her forehead and can only cover it with her forehead.
How important is the reputation and appearance of a daughter's family? Princess Mu An almost went crazy on the spot, picked up a knife and wanted to fight Concubine Fan.
In the end, the quarrel between the two parties was really ugly, and Princess Mu An bit her to death and wanted to drive Concubine Fan and her family out. Concubine Fan naturally refused, but now that the second wife of Prince Mu'an is in charge, Princess Mu An naturally has many ways to deal with them.
The big house didn't last a few days before Xie Chengyou took the initiative and expressed his willingness to move out.
If he doesn't want to, he has no choice. Living in Prince Mu'an's Mansion is asking for trouble. If he agrees a few days later, his family may really have to get out naked.
Xie Yan was not interested in the future life of Xie Chengyou and his family. Xie Yan and his family personally went to the Regent's Palace to explain, because they were worried that Xie Yan or others would use this as an excuse to cause trouble for them in the future.
Now that he saw that Xie Yan really didn't care, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly and wisely.
There are fewer things to worry about, and days seem to fly by.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the time for the Chinese New Year, and Shangyonghuang City is even more festive and noisy amidst the cold and solemn atmosphere.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Xie Yan and Luo Junyao took Xie Cheng into the palace.
Nowadays, except for the Empress Dowager, there are no serious owners in the palace, and it seems very lonely and peaceful. Xie Yan simply ordered people to seal off the entire harem, leaving only the palace in the outer court and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager's bedroom on the left and right sides of the palace.
As well as palaces needed for various rituals and sacrifices.
It is also planned to lay off the palace staff after the beginning of spring, and 70% of the maids and chamberlains will be released from the palace by then.
After all, Xie Cheng is only seven years old now, and there is no possibility of adding more members to the royal family for at least seven or eight years or even longer. Keeping so many people in such a huge palace is not only wasteful but also prone to trouble.
"I've met your Majesty, I've met the princess." Luo Junyao led Xie Cheng into the palace of the Empress Dowager, and the stewards and maids in the palace quickly led people out to salute.
Luo Jun waved his hand and asked: "No need to be polite, how is the Empress Dowager today?"
The palace maid said respectfully: "The Queen Mother seems to be in good spirits today. She even drank half a bowl of porridge when she got up early."
Luo Jun shook his head, but he didn't feel happy in his heart.
Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager is no longer expected to be better than she is now. During this period, Luo Junyao would come to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager every three days, and Xie Cheng would enter the palace every other day.
, as for Princess Changling, she almost lives in the palace.
But the Empress Dowager still feels groggy every day, and she is afraid that she will not be able to sleep at some point.
"Is the princess here?"
The palace maid nodded and said: "The two eldest princesses are here, as well as the two young princesses and several young gentlemen. However, the eldest princess was afraid that they would disturb the Queen Mother, so she sent them out to play."
Luo Jun shook his head and took Xie Cheng into the inner hall.
The Empress Dowager was indeed in good spirits today. The last time Luo Junyao saw the Empress Dowager awake was seven or eight days ago.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Royal Grandmother!" Xie Cheng was also very happy to see that the Queen Mother was awake. He let go of Luo Junyao's hand and threw himself next to the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager was obviously very happy to see her grandson, but she no longer had the strength to raise her hand. She only raised it slightly and then dropped it weakly.
Xie Cheng very sensibly took the Queen Mother's hand and put it on top of his head. He also rubbed his little head in the Queen Mother's hand and whispered: "Grandma, it's time to celebrate the New Year." said the little aunt.
It’s New Year’s Day after today, and the Imperial Grandmother will be fine.”
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Good boy, Grandma Imperial... I am very happy."
Xie Cheng said: "Tomorrow A Cheng will come early to pay New Year greetings to the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother will give A Cheng a big New Year's red envelope."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Okay... Grandma, I'm getting ready."
Princess Changling stood looking at the grandfather and grandson talking, and couldn't help but her eyes were a little red. Luo Junyao stood beside her and quietly reached out to hold Princess Changling's hand.
Princess Changling tilted her head and nodded to her, forcing out a shallow smile.
The Empress Dowager got tired after talking to Xie Cheng for a while, so Princess Changling quickly asked someone to take Xie Cheng out to play.
They stayed with the Queen Mother for a while, and then the Queen Mother fell asleep. The three of them looked at each other before getting up and walking out.
Princess Changling looked at Luo Junyao and said: "There is a banquet in the palace today, and you will have to worry about these things, so don't waste your time here. There is nothing going on here, as long as I am watching over you."
Luo Junyao said: "Everything is done by the people below, so why should I worry about it?"
Princess Changzhao also smiled and said: "I think Jun Yao is really worry-free when doing things. Not only does it save worry, but it is also convenient." Whether you are the head mother of a powerful family or the queen of the court, there are no shortage of daily chores.
.When encountering such a large-scale celebration, it is inevitable to be very busy.
But Luo Junyao is very idle. It's not that she doesn't care about things, but that she knows how to plan time and allocate tasks reasonably. She is not like many housewives. She always likes to do many things by herself. She will only tell the person who accepts the task that she hopes to
When the effect is achieved, then let the people under your command perform freely.
In this way, it naturally saves a lot of trouble, and also leaves the impression that the regent princess is not interested in taking care of things.
But if you think that you can fool the errands or fool the princess herself because of this, the Princess Regent will soon teach you how to behave yourself.
Luo Junyao said: "Thanks to Sister Changzhao's guidance these days, otherwise I would be so confused that I wouldn't even know where to start."
Princess Changzhao sighed softly, raised her hand and patted the back of Luo Junyao's hand and said, "We are the only ones left in the family now. If you have anything, just tell us."
Luo Jun shook his head and smiled: "I won't be polite."
"Mother!" Qin Ning came in from the outside with Xu Xinyu. The two little girls were also dressed very brightly and pretty today, and their little faces were still red as if they had run all the way.
Seeing that Luo Junyao was there, Qin Ning just waved to her, but Xu Xinyu obediently stepped forward and saluted, "I've met my aunt."
"No need to be polite." Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Aren't you playing outside? Why did you come back again?"
Qin Ning said: "There are only a few of us in the palace now, and there is nothing to do. If I had known, I wouldn't have entered the palace so early." It was still early, and naturally the powerful ladies attending the palace banquet would not
Coming so early. Although the palace is decorated with lanterns and colors and looks festive, it is actually still very deserted.
Luo Jun shook his eyes and said, "Since you are free, why don't you come and help me today?"
Qin Ning was puzzled, "What can I do for you?"
However, Princess Chang Zhao and Princess Chang Ling understood instantly. Princess Chang Zhao hesitated and said: "This...these two girls are still young. I'm afraid they can't help much and will only cause trouble."
If there was a banquet held at the Prince Regent's Palace, Qin Ning and Xu Xinyu, as royal family members, would naturally be able to help, but Princess Chang Zhao did not dare to let her daughter cause trouble for such a big event as the New Year's Eve palace banquet.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Sister Huang also said that there are only a few people in our family now, so it's okay to let them practice with us. Once they are familiar with each other, and there is a novice like me here, even if something goes wrong, who would dare?
What can’t be said?”
Hearing this, Princess Changling couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said to Princess Changzhao: "Let them go, it's not a big deal. Didn't our mother teach us how to do this when we were young? Neither did Aning and Xinyu.
It’s too small.”
Princess Changling said this, and Princess Changzhao naturally said nothing. She just told the two of them, "Don't cause any trouble to your aunt."
Xu Xinyu responded obediently, and Qin Ning murmured in a low voice, "It's not certain who caused the trouble." She and Yaoyao are only two years apart, so why do you make it sound like they are twenty years apart?
Luo Junyao held Qin Ning's hand with one hand and Xu Xinyu with the other, and the three girls walked out of the palace of the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, talking and laughing.
The two eldest princesses who stayed behind also laughed out loud when they looked at the backs of the three of them. Princess Changzhao shook her head and said to Princess Changling: "You are really relieved."
Princess Changling raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you just say that shaking things is easy and worry-free, what else should I worry about?"
Princess Changzhao sighed and said: "She is too young after all. When I was this age, let alone let me be responsible for organizing a banquet like the abbot's. Even if I was only responsible for some things, I was still trembling for fear of making mistakes.
"
Princess Changling recalled how she was responsible for specific affairs for the first time when she was with her mother, and couldn't help but laugh: "Who is not?"
These princesses have been cultivated by the royal family since they were young, so they naturally have to behave like royal princesses on the surface no matter what the occasion, but who says they won't be nervous and scared privately?
But the Princess Regent seems to be really not worried at all, and this mentality is very enviable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Princess Changling sighed: "That's fine, she is too young after all. It would not look good if she thinks too much and can't hold back the scene."
At this moment, she was somewhat glad that Luo Junyao had such a temperament. If he had had a gentle and ladylike temperament, he would have really been unable to suppress the monsters and ghosts underneath him when encountering such a thing at this age.
Don't be afraid of mistakes in this kind of thing. Even experienced people dare not say that they can handle it perfectly. They are afraid of being hit to the point of collapse. If you can face everything confidently, even if you make a mistake, others will not dare to look down on you.
.But if you have been hit and show it, don’t blame others for daring to climb on you.
Princess Changzhao also nodded, but said with some confusion: "I always feel that Jun Yao is a little strange..."
"We'll wait and see." Princess Changling said lazily, "Jing Yu told me that next year Jun Yao will go to Anlan Academy to be the headmaster."
"..." Princess Changzhao was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "What do they want to do?"
Princess Changling said: "Anlan Academy has been severely oppressed over the years. Now that the mountain above their heads is gone, I'm afraid they also want to cheer up. No matter how troublesome Jun Yao is, he still doesn't know what this means.
Since she agreed, what do you think she wants to do?"
Princess Changzhao thought for a while and suddenly smiled and said: "That's not bad. It seems that I have to let Xinyu have more contact with her little aunt. This child has always been well-behaved and sensible, but he was a little too well-behaved, which actually made me a little bit confused.
Don't worry. If Xinyu were as clever as Ah Ning, I would be worried too."
Princess Changling raised her eyebrows and said, "So, you support them?"
Princess Changling said: "Why don't I support it? We all grew up listening to the stories of the previous dynasty. Even if it is for my family Xinyu, I have to support it."
Princess Changzhao obviously had the same idea, and just said: "I'm afraid someone will be unhappy." Her tone was a little careless, and she was obviously not really worried about anything.
Princess Changling raised her eyebrows disdainfully and said, "Who cares whether they are happy or not? I don't think Jun Yao is someone who would give up easily. Let's just watch."
