red from Jia Yin's question, but she still lifted her head and answered boldly: "Yes, I am the Houye's wife. I serve in the Houye's bedroom."The old woman frowned, displeased that Yu Xue had brought...Yet, the Third Princess seemed possessed, unfazed even after being scolded.

Still eating the egg tarts honestly, let alone leaving with a flick of my sleeve.

Now, even Jiayin was curious and asked, “That’s not right, aren’t you supposed to be shouting and kicking up a storm”

"Have you gotten nicer, or gone crazy"

Princess Three dodged Jiayin's claw reaching for her forehead, and said while holding an egg tart, "Do you think I'm stupid If I argue with you, there won't be any more egg tarts."

"Besides, you have a sharp tongue, but a kind heart. I'm not blind to that! "

Having said that, she quickly snatched a custard tart from Jia Yin's box and took a big bite with a triumphant smile, as if she had won the whole world.

Jia Yin sighed in her heart, this was also a pitiful child...

As a princess, you have never experienced the warmth of family affection, nor have you had a true friend who you can talk to and rely on.

I used to have a bit of an attitude, but now it seems like I've straightened up a little...

Thinking this way, she also softened a bit. She took out a canteen from her bag, which was filled with hot milk tea.

The third princess had a cup, and she drank to her heart's content……

They ate, drank, and laughed together, forming their own little world. Soon, they attracted the attention of those around them.

The Empress Dowager sat above, chatting idly with another dowager consort. She glanced down and smiled, "Our third princess hasn't laughed much since the Empress fell ill."

"Still, County Princess Kangle is capable. She managed to make her so happy…"

The Empress Dowager didn't know what the Empress meant, so she could only vaguely reply, "Yes, looking at them young and beautiful, like flowers in bloom, it's truly enviable."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "Your family has many grandchildren and you're not lacking company."

"Who looks as pitiful as I, the Emperor's son is scarce, and my days are truly lonely."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, “Your Majesty speaks too highly of me. The Third Princess is a filial and lively girl. You can allow the Princess to visit more often to pay her respects.”

The Empress Dowager also smiled, as if she had suddenly remembered something, and said, "You have a good idea."

Having said that, she turned her head and said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, the Third Princess has grown up. She needs to learn more about etiquette and skills."

"But the Empress has been ill for so long, she can't even take care of the princess. That's not right!"

"Why don't we have the Third Princess move into my palace for a while, so that our family can get closer"

The Emperor was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what the Empress Dowager had in mind, his intuition told him it wasn't good.

He laughed and said, “Mother, the third princess is like a lively little monkey. She’s so energetic. You're used to being serene, so don't worry too much about her.”

"I have already found four nannies for her, and she is already learning what she should."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, putting on a sincere and caring expression for her son. She said: "This is the time when this old empress should step in, Your Majesty, please don't be so polite."

"Are you worried that the Third Princess finds this old woman boring, or that Shoukang Palace is too quiet and she's not comfortable there"

The Emperor wanted to curse inwardly, but with so many people present, he had to maintain the faade of filial piety. He quickly said, "Your Majesty has overthought things. That's not what I meant."

"You don't have to say it, I already know. You're worried about the Third Princess, aren't you" The Empress Dowager smiled kindly. "Here's what I think: since the Third Princess and Lady Kang Le seem to get along so well, why not let Lady Kang Le come into the palace with her as well."

"It just so happens that the third princess is staying at my Longevity Palace for a while, two little girls would be good company!"

The Emperor's face immediately changed.

項羽 danced with his sword, intending to show off to Liu Bang!

All the teachings given to the Third Princess and all the help offered were just excuses.

The Empress Dowager just wants to lure Concubine Kangle into the palace, keeping her under her thumb and controlling both the Li family and Marquis Xinting!

"Your Majesty, Kang Le is still young and not used to being away from home. Perhaps the Third Princess should accompany you instead!" The Emperor said calmly.

Everyone could tell he was unhappy.

But the Empress Dowager seemed not to notice, and still said: "Aren't all the women of the Li family gone south Now that only the Princess is left at home, she must be lonely. It's just right for her to enter the palace to keep company with the Third Princess and this old woman."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. This concubine loves little girls the most. With hundreds of servants in the palace, how could we possibly fail to take good care of Princess Kangle"

At this point, if the Emperor still objects, he would be defying his Empress Dowager in public.

He glared silently, his eyes instinctively drifting towards the Third Princess and Jia Yin.

If it were before, the Third Princess would have probably gloated, but now after being beaten by reality, she has grown a lot.

Although she didn't know what the Empress Dowager wanted Jia Yin to do in the palace, she was sure it wouldn't be anything good.

The third princess quickly said, "Grandmother Empress, I'll go stay with you. Don't let Princess Kangle enter the palace!"

She's just a country bumpkin, clueless about the palace etiquette and likely to offend your esteemed self.

The Empress Dowager glared at her granddaughter with a hint of reproach and smiled. “My child, you mustn't speak like that in the future.”

"Although County Princess Kangle came from a farming family, the Li family had made great contributions by providing high-yielding crops, and are now a double-ranking noble house. Honestly speaking, few families in Tianwu surpass the prestige of the Li family!"

Besides, this empress knows you like County Princess Kangle. You play well with her, but it's just that I'm reluctant to let her leave home.

But you don't think about it, Princess Kangle accompanying you to study and learn etiquette is also her fortune. In the future, when she gets married, she can find a better family because of this.

As a good friend, you can't stand in the way of her good fortune!

"No, I…" The third princess, being younger after all, was flustered and her face turned red. She was so anxious she wished she could stomp her feet.

On the other side of the screen, the Marquis and Li Lao Si along with others listened and their faces turned cold.

The Lord stood up to speak, but Li Laoer forcibly pulled him down.

The Empress Dowager arranged this play, perhaps to force the Lord Hou to appear.

At that time, just casually accuse the Marquis of being arrogant and disrespectful to the royal family. For the sake of clearing his name, the Marquis will have to give up his military power...

At this moment, Jia Yin stood up with a smile and said, “Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, it is an honor for me that you like me and want me to enter the palace. "

But as a female subject, I am unlearned in etiquette and incapable of tending to others. My speech is straightforward, and I cannot tolerate the cold nor hunger. Even kneeling and kowtowing causes me dizziness.

"If this were to happen beside you, would you dislike me because of these things"

"No," the Empress smiled, as kindly as ever. "You're still young. You can learn these things slowly."

"But Your Majesty, your servant girl doesn't want to learn. My grandmother said that girls should be cherished and loved, there's no need to learn those rules."

"To speak frankly, the world is full of deceit these days. Thankfully, the Empress Dowager has a kind heart and sent a nanny to teach me proper etiquette. But if the nanny harbors ill intentions and mistreats me, I, pampered as I am, will definitely cry my way home."

"By then, everyone in the new capital will probably think Empress Dowager doesn't look kindly on our Li family and deliberately keeps me confined within the palace to torment me. That would be a major scandal, wouldn't it"

Jia Yin's little mouth is chatty, and her expressions are rich.

Sometimes happy, sometimes worried, she expressed her feelings clearly and understandably.

She can enter the palace, but she cannot endure even a little bit of grievance.

If you've been wronged, make a scene so everyone knows! Don't give anyone any face!

A cold glint flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes. She hadn't expected a little girl to be so difficult to deal with.

But the more so, the more she couldn't give up.

This girl is the apple of Li's and Xinting Hou's eyes, I must keep her close!basin, the bottom can still leave mud prints, it's better not to wash at all.He was so angry just now that he scolded them a few words, and as a result, they immediately said they had stomachaches and...
