When Mrs. Han heard this, she cried and cried again: "Eldest Princess, as a descendant of the royal family, don't you dare to do what you dare to do?"
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess has not only detained the little girl in the palace, but also Master Han's daughter Han Ling'er. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send Han Ling'er to the palace to ask."
She didn't believe that Han Ling'er, who had also been wronged so much, would still refuse to tell the truth.
When the old emperor heard that there was a witness, he looked at his daughter uncertainly.
Li Huang gave him a calm look, then nodded with deep approval and said: "I also feel that I can't just let Mrs. Han's red lips and white teeth say that I have humiliated the daughter of an official.
"
Seeing that she was confident, the old emperor ordered his servants to go to the eldest princess's mansion to bring Han Ling'er into the palace to confront her.
After Han Ling'er learned that Mrs. Han had entered the palace to seek justice for her daughter, she specially changed into decent clothes and entered the palace.
"My daughter Han Ling'er, please see your majesty and the eldest princess."
After seeing the ceremony, she looked at Mrs. Han and called "aunt".
Mrs. Han raised her chin confidently and asked, "Ling'er, what have you been doing these days when you have been living in the eldest princess's mansion?"
Han Ling'er lowered her head and replied politely: "Back to aunt, the eldest princess has asked you to teach your niece the rules. My niece has learned a lot at the eldest princess's mansion these days."
When Mrs. Han heard this, she sneered and asked, "The rules you are referring to are not menial tasks such as cleaning sheepfolds, feeding livestock, and turning soil to plant flowers, right?"
When Han Ling'er heard this, her face was full of surprise: "Aunt, you can't say this nonsense. How can there be livestock in the eldest princess's house? Moreover, although my father is only a fifth-rank official, my niece is also an official's dependent, how can the eldest princess do this?
Such a thing?"
Regarding the matter of feeding livestock in the eldest princess's mansion, she would not admit it even to death.
Gu Ningshuang is shameless, but she still wants it!
If those high-ranking families in the capital knew that she had done such a menial job, who would be willing to marry her?
When Mr. Han heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to turn his elbows outward.
"Han Ling'er, don't forget your last name?"
These words are undoubtedly reminding Han Ling'er that they are a family.
However, it would be okay if she didn't mention this, but the resentment in Han Ling'er's heart would be even greater when she mentioned it.
At the banquet that day, if she hadn't repeatedly hinted, would she have been able to suffer the fate of being a coward in the eldest princess's mansion?
She had stayed in the eldest princess's mansion for so many days, but she didn't see her aunt trying to get her out.
Now I'm talking about family relations with her.
Thinking of this, the sarcasm in Han Ling'er's eyes became even more intense: "My aunt is asking this question. Of course my surname is Han. My father hasn't expelled me from the family tree yet."
Han choked and stared at her fiercely.
After working in the eldest princess's mansion these days, Han Ling'er has thought clearly that her aunt is unreliable. If something happens, she will be the first to push you out.
Therefore, why should she go to court to please such a relative?
"Aunt, it is a serious crime to slander the princess of the dynasty. Even if you are passionate about your daughter, you should not gamble with the honor of the Pingyang Marquis."
In just a few words, she overturned Han's previous accusation.
Unconvinced, Mrs. Han kowtowed heavily and said to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, if the eldest princess has any livestock, send someone to the mansion to have a look. We will know. The eldest princess keeps saying that she has not been humiliated or treated harshly."
My little girl, but my little girl’s hands are all covered with calluses from work. As a mother, I cannot do nothing. I hope Your Majesty will be considerate."
The old emperor frowned, feeling very impatient.
How come these people, one or two, are looking for trouble for him?
But since everyone was talking about this, it would be unjustifiable if he didn't send someone to check it out.
So, he once again ordered the chamberlain around him: "Take a team of forbidden troops and check the inside and outside of the eldest princess's house to see if there is a livestock pen in the house as Mrs. Pingyang mentioned."
The chamberlain took the order and went down.
Seeing this, Mrs. Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had no doubt at all about what her daughter said. As long as the Imperial Guards found out that the eldest princess had raised livestock, Li Huang's explanation just now would be untenable.
Seeing Han's determined look, Han Ling'er felt a little anxious.
She secretly looked at Li Huang and found that she was not panicked at all, so she calmed down.
Thinking about it, the eldest princess should have been prepared in advance.
Several people waited for a long time, while the old emperor was approving the memorial. A eunuch served Li Huang tea. She sat at the bottom and sipped the tea leisurely, as if everything had nothing to do with her, and she was just watching the fun.
That's all.
Not long after, the chamberlain came back with the commander of the imperial army.
"Your Majesty, I have checked the inside and outside of the eldest princess's mansion and found no livestock."
When Han heard this, he almost jumped up: "This is impossible!"
Because she was so excited, Han's screams almost broke through the roof.
The old emperor looked at her dissatisfied: "Han, please pay attention to your manners!"
Only then did Han remember that she was in the Emperor's Chengde Palace, and she immediately lowered her voice to a normal range.
"Your Majesty, my daughter has clearly been working as a coolie in the eldest princess's mansion for many days. How could she not have those livestock? Is it because the Imperial Guards didn't find out..."
Her voice was so low that she could hardly hear the last sentence.
But the commander of the imperial army was standing less than three feet away from her, and with the power of his ears, he still heard it clearly.
Being questioned by such a woman, his square face was obviously full of displeasure: "Mrs. Pingyang, the people who went to the eldest princess's mansion to search this time were not only the general's imperial army, but also the internal prison guards around your majesty.
, what can be seen by so many pairs of eyes, is it not as good as your mouth?"
Han was choked up, but she still mustered up the courage to argue: "But the little girl's hands are calloused, how can there be nothing?"
"Could it be that the eldest princess was already on guard, so she had people move the things in the palace to other places before entering the palace?"
But even if those livestock are moved, there will still be some traces left where the livestock were raised, right?
For example, there's a smell or something, it can't be nothing, right?
Han expressed great doubts.
Being questioned again and again, the commander of the imperial army was very unhappy: "If Mrs. Pingyang doesn't believe it, she can go and see it herself. I think the eldest princess won't mind in order to prove her innocence."
Li Huang nodded in time: "Yes, I don't mind. It's best to watch carefully, so as not to come to the palace every two days to disturb my father's peace."
Mr. Han bit his lip, his eyes full of reluctance and doubt.
The old emperor waved his hand: "I also want to know if there is something wrong with the brain of a noble daughter of the Marquis who insists on saying that she has cleaned pig pens and sheep pens."
