"Shengping greets the Imperial Grandmother and the Imperial Father. The weather has been too hot these days, so I was lazy and didn't come to pay my respects. I hope the Imperial Grandmother will give me a warning!"

Princess Shengping was arrogant, but she was still smart. When she saw her father looked unhappy, she knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

The Queen Mother waved her hand indifferently. Although there was no smile on her face, she looked kind. She had always been particularly tolerant towards her grandchildren.

"It's not a big deal, don't worry about it."

The emperor looked at his daughter kneeling in front of him with a calm expression. He glanced at Wei, the steward who had quietly walked in and stood beside him. After the master and servant exchanged glances, he waved his hand.

"No courtesy, get up."

"Thank you, Father! Thank you, Grandmother!"

After getting up from the ground, Princess Shengping stood there obediently. She was not as arrogant and domineering as before, but she also did not look like she was truly repentant for her mistakes.

The emperor was so obviously careless that he could hardly help being angry. He simply opened his mouth and chased the man away, hoping to turn a blind eye to it.

"Shengping, my birthday is over, why don't you pack up and go back to your fiefdom first."

The Queen Mother paused for a moment while fanning herself, and then immediately rested her forehead on the armrest, not wanting to interfere in the matter between the father and daughter. Since the second girl had not mentioned leaving until now, she must have made up her mind to stay. Now that the Emperor was sending her away, it would be strange if she didn't get mad!

Sure enough, Princess Shengping's expression changed immediately.

"Father, I won't leave!"

Her eyes, which were always charming and affectionate, were now filled with unwilling resentment.

"So many of my brothers and sisters are in the capital, why do you insist on sending me to that remote and poor place?"

If I hadn't been sitting here, the emperor would have wanted to give this rebellious girl a slap in the face!

"Why do you say that? Have you forgotten everything you did to Marquis Changlin? You've caused him to lose his wife and children, and his family to pieces. Do you still have the nerve to stay in the capital?"

"Why should I be embarrassed? He was the one who provoked me first! I am the most honorable princess of Da Qi. If he dares to abandon me, he must pay the price!"

"You know that was in the past, you were all young then, how old are you now? Just because you are a widow, you cannot allow others to have a wife and children? Is this unreasonable?"

The emperor would be so angry with his daughter that he would say anything he didn't want to say. This second daughter and second son were obviously from the same mother, but their personalities were completely different. One was too selfless, and the other was too selfish!

Princess Shengping was almost furious. She had been a legitimate princess respected by everyone since she was a child. There was no woman in the entire Da Qi with a more noble birth than her.

As the legitimate daughter of Empress Yuan, her biological father was the emperor, her biological brother was the future emperor, and she herself had made great contributions to the country. With all these supports, she was almost fearless.

Of course, this was all in the past.

If she had known that her action against the Marquis of Changlin's Mansion would cause her brother to lose his position as crown prince, she would definitely not have been so crazy.

Fortunately, it is not too late to mend the situation now.

He took a deep breath to suppress the violence in his heart, but the madness hidden in his eyes became even more desperate.

"Yes, I understand. When the weather gets cooler in two days, I will return to my fiefdom."

The emperor didn't care whether he believed it or not. He just gave her a final warning out of consideration for their father-daughter relationship.

"Shengping, your status is now the highest among all the princesses. I have not forgotten your contribution to the marriage, and the new emperor of Daqi will not forget it in the future.

As long as you live peacefully and don't cause any trouble, the fiefdoms and private soldiers I give you are enough to protect you. Stop messing around and live a good life from now on, okay?"

If you stand in the perspective of an observer, you will understand it immediately when you hear the emperor's words which are almost clear.

But a bystander sees more clearly than a participant!

Princess Shengping, who was not very smart to begin with, was filled with regret and unwillingness. She did not carefully distinguish the warning in the emperor's tone. She just sneered.

If possible, she really wanted to ask.

So, may I ask my good father, what does it take for a son to live a good life?

Are you going to ignore your brother who was deposed by you for no reason?

Will you bow down to Princess Rongchang, who is now in your hands?

"Yes, I will teach you."

She bowed respectfully on the surface, but the resentment and resentment in her heart almost burned her mind.

This princess is the most honorable princess of the Great Qi, and no one can make this princess behave in a cowardly manner! When my brother ascends the throne, we will see who will have the last laugh!

The emperor waved his hand and chased them away.

"Go back, go back and think carefully about how to walk the future path. You still have a long life, and there are plenty of good times waiting to be enjoyed. Don't waste it."

"Yes, Shengping will leave!"

The sleeves fluttered away, and the red dress was still so hot and dazzling that the empress dowager sighed again.

"Emperor, how is Jun'er?"

The emperor did not answer directly, but chuckled and changed the subject.

"Mother, I heard that there are some new dishes for lunch today, all of which were developed by the chef in Dai Xiaoqi's house. You also know that naughty child only knows how to eat all day long. She thinks that delicious food must taste good. How about we try a different taste for lunch today?"

The Queen Mother knew what was going on after hearing such an irrelevant answer. She could only sigh inwardly and continue speaking along with her son's words.

"Haha, that's great. It just so happens that I've been suffering from the heat these past few days and have lost my appetite. I'll quickly ask the palace maids to serve the dishes so that I can taste whether Xiaoqi can eat them."

The particularly perceptive Wei Manager did not need his master to give any more instructions. He immediately bowed and responded, and turned around to make arrangements. The lunch was quite enjoyable as the mother and daughter tried to comfort each other with their words.

When the emperor left the Cining Palace and returned to his own territory to continue handling government affairs, the servants came to report that the emperor's grandson Pei Jiping was already waiting outside the palace.

The emperor had just wiped it with a handkerchief, then he folded his sleeves with a smile and complained to the people around him.

"This little bastard is really not stupid, not at all like the idiot Old Three. He is quite clever, and has some of the cleverness I had when I was young. Xiao Weizi, go and call him in."

"Yes."

Chief Steward Wei turned around and walked to the corridor outside the palace. He saw the elegant figure in simple blue clothes from afar. He quickly greeted him respectfully with a smile on his face.

"My young master, thank you for waiting outside the palace. It is because I am old and my legs are not flexible, so I am slow on the road. I hope my young master will forgive me and not blame me!"
