Exclusive to you

"You useless thing, you have caused me so much trouble."

The maid's face was already swollen, and now she was slapped hard. Her face was probably going to be ruined. But compared to her life, these were insignificant. She fell to her knees.

"My lady, I was negligent. I didn't expect that this princess would be so ungrateful. I was really anxious to protect your reputation... Please spare my life, my lady." I am the maidservant who came with your ladyship. I have been with her since I was a child. I know her temper best. She looks gentle and weak, but she is more cruel than anyone else. If I really offend her, I will have a hard time.

"Your Highness, this princess clearly has no intention of reconciling with you. She keeps bringing up the past. It's clear that she still holds a grudge against you. Your Highness, instead of trying to deal with someone who is wary of you, why don't you change direction and take the initiative?"

Xiaojuan, who was not idle for a moment, started to come up with some tricks for her master.

"Keep talking"

"Your Highness, our target is the prince, and to get pregnant with his child. Not this princess. Although she will be the princess after she gets married, if your Highness gets pregnant first, then your child will be the prince's first child, and your status will not be something a princess who has just married into the family can suppress. Then what will your Highness be afraid of the princess?"

"My queen, the prince doesn't belong to her alone. You are also his woman. The other women in the backyard are willing but not brave enough, and they can't be a threat to us.

Therefore, if the princess wants to clean up the mess in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities. The most urgent task is to deal with the prince first.

As for this princess, if the queen is really angry, we can secretly find someone to teach her a lesson. Anyway, there are so many enemies in the Prince An's Mansion who have come to the door, and they will not think that it is us. And as long as we do it secretly, it will not be so easy to find us. "

"Your Majesty, the Queen is hosting a birthday banquet, and at that time we will do this... What do you think, Your Majesty?" He stood up and leaned over to whisper his plan in his master's ear.

After saying this, he glanced at his master's expression and felt relieved. His life was saved.

Kneel on the ground again

"My lady, I only want to help you. Please spare my life."

Yi Lin looked at the maid on the ground and didn't answer.

This girl grew up with me, so I know her true feelings better than anyone else.

"Get up"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yi Lin stood up happily.

"Let's do it as you say. Be smart and don't leave any handles. If you make a mistake again this time, I will never forgive you."

"Yes. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will be more careful this time."

Yi Lin handed her a mini porcelain bottle.

"Take this medicine and apply it on your face. It will help the wound on your face."

"Thank you, Madam. Xiaojuan will go through fire and water for you."

"Alright, go down. I'm tired too. You can rest for the next two days. Send someone else to serve you. Come back and serve me when you're better."

"Yes, ma'am"

Yi Lin waved her hand, leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes.

……

Prince An's Mansion at this time

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Fu wants to see you."

"Fuluhai? What is he doing here?"

"Eunuch Fu said that he came here on the emperor's orders to summon the prince to the palace for an audience."

"I know." What is coming will come sooner or later. An Huai put down the pen in his hand, walked out of the study, and went into the palace with Eunuch Fu.

……

Inside the Imperial Study Room

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"My royal brother, please don't be polite. Please take a seat. I summoned you to the palace today to ask you how Yuan'er's wedding preparations are going."

"Thank you for your concern, my Royal Brother. We are preparing for Yuan'er's wedding. There is still half a month left, so it will be in time."

"Yuan'er is my niece. As her uncle, I naturally care about her lifelong affairs."

"Royal brother, do you blame me for insisting on marrying Yuan'er to the cold prince?"

"Brother, you are the emperor, so you have your own considerations when making decisions. I only want to assist you. And Yuan'er is your niece, so you will not harm her. So I have no objection to your decision."

"I feel relieved when you say this."

"Royal brother, are you sure about Leng Aotian?"

An Huai was stunned for a moment, then realized what the emperor really meant.

"Brother, people's hearts are hidden, and I dare not say anything perfect. However, King Leng has been doing his duty for so many years, leading his subordinates to win many victories for Tianchi and protecting many mountains and rivers for us. If he really had other intentions, he should have taken action long ago. Now that my brother has a solid foundation and is deeply loved by the people, even if he has changed his mind at this moment, he has to consider it. So I think we must be on guard against others. But if he is wholeheartedly assisting my brother, we can't let people down."

"Brother, no matter what others think, I will always follow you till death."

My brother is very suspicious. If I praise Leng Aotian wholeheartedly, he will definitely be worried. So it is most appropriate to express my sincerity with ambiguous words.

"Your humble servant is overthinking. I, the king, naturally trust you." Otherwise, during the battle for the throne, he would not have left only this one younger brother by his side and given him real power.

"Alright, I was worrying too much. Royal brother, please have a drink with me tonight. We two brothers haven't been together for a long time."

"By the way, let Yuan'er come to the palace to see the Queen Mother when she has time. The Queen Mother heard a few days ago that Yuan'er's wedding is coming soon, and she also said that she missed Yuan'er."

"Your Highness obeys your order."

…………

"What? Father asked me to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother?"

"Yes, young lady, the prince said you'd better go to the palace today."

The next morning after Prince An returned to his mansion, he sent Doudou to Prince Leng's mansion to inform Yuan'er that she could take time off to visit the palace to see the Queen Mother, and asked Doudou to accompany her to the palace.

An Yuanyuan didn't say anything, she sat on the stool and quietly searched the original owner's memory. The queen and everything else were the most difficult to be the queen. I hope there is nothing wrong with the original owner's memory.

Phew~ Not bad. An Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the original owner's memory, the Queen Mother loved the original owner very much. The original owner's mother walked away from home when she was young. The Queen Mother often took the original owner back to the palace for a short stay. So the original owner can be said to have been raised by the Queen Mother.

"Okay, let's go into the palace now." He stood up and prepared to go out

Long Si, who had been listening outside the door, stepped forward immediately.

"Princess, the prince has not returned from the morning court yet. Why don't you wait until he returns before going to the palace with me? This way it will be safer." The main reason is that the prince has specifically instructed that the princess should not be allowed to go to a dangerous place. In Long Si's opinion, except for the palace, everywhere is dangerous. The wedding date is approaching, and he is afraid that the Dugu Palace Master will choose this time to cause trouble.

"I am just going into the palace, not hanging out. No matter how brave that person is, he wouldn't dare to mess around in the palace."

It just so happens that Leng Aotian is also in the palace, so I can just come back with him then.

And Long Si, you should come with me. Let's call two more powerful people. This way, we will be safe.

Long Si thought about it and agreed. After all, the palace was not far away. With adequate protection, nothing would happen. And it was not such a coincidence that something would happen as soon as he left the house.

An Yuanyuan got on the carriage and entered the palace smoothly. Long Si and others were waiting at the palace gate with the carriage.

An Yuanyuan took Doudou and walked towards the palace where the Queen Mother lived according to the original owner's memory.

……

"Her Majesty, Princess An is here to see you," the old nanny reported to the empress dowager who was having breakfast.

"Yuan'er is here? Quick, let her in." The Queen Mother happily put down the jade bowl in her hand.

"Grandmother, Yuan'er pays her respects to you," An Yuanyuan said and was about to kneel down to salute.

The Queen Mother grabbed her arm in time

"You kid, why are you being so polite to me? You haven't come to see me for such a long time. You're going to get married soon. Are you going to be estranged from me?"

"Grandmother, what are you talking about? Yuan'er would never be estranged from anyone but you." An Yuanyuan hugged the Queen Mother's arm and helped her sit down.

"Grandmother, Yuan'er has been missing you for a long time. Some time ago, Yuan'er was not feeling well and did not dare to come to see the Queen Mother. Recently, Yuan'er followed Prince Leng back to Prince Leng's hometown. It took many days to go back and forth. Just after coming back, Tianchi felt unwell again. Now that he has recovered, he wanted to come to see Grandmother in the next few days. Early in the morning, he heard my father say that the Queen Mother missed Yuan'er, so Yuan'er couldn't wait to go to the palace to see Grandmother."

An Yuanyuan said as she sat beside the Queen Mother, hugged her arm, leaned her head on her shoulder, and shook her arm coquettishly.

"Grandmother Yuan'er missed you so much. Yuan'er wanted to come in and share with Grandmother some interesting things that happened to me in Prince Leng's hometown."

"It seems that my little Yuan'er has really grown up. It's time for her to get married. Yuan'er was so excited when she mentioned Prince Leng. It seems that Prince Leng is very good to our Yuan'er." The Queen Mother is an experienced person and has worked in the palace for most of her life. The expression on the little girl's face and the relaxation between her brows when she mentioned Prince Leng just now both showed her master's happiness.

"Grandmother, you are teasing Yuan'er again." An Yuanyuan was a little annoyed and angry.

The original owner always looked mature and serious in front of everyone, but he was an exception in front of the Queen Mother.

Therefore, the Queen Mother did not find An Yuanyuan's behavior today unusual. Instead, she was happy that Yuanyuan was closer to her, the Imperial Grandmother.

"Yuan'er, I heard from your father that you always suddenly fall into a coma. Is there anything wrong with your body now?"

"Don't worry, Grandmother. The imperial physician has examined her. He said that Yuan'er is in good health. She may just be too tired and needs rest. She can eat and drink after waking up. There's nothing serious." An Yuanyuan said and glanced at the table unintentionally.

"Grandmother, please stop talking to Yuan'er and have breakfast first."

"The Royal Grandmother has already eaten. How can she be hungry now that she sees Yuan'er?"

"Grandmother, do you mean that Yuan'er is causing you trouble, so you feel full just by seeing Yuan'er?" An Yuanyuan joked playfully.

"You little girl..." The Queen Mother was so angry that she laughed and reached out her hand to tap her forehead lightly.

The old nanny next to them was also happy to see the grandfather and grandson joking. The Queen Mother hadn't been so happy for a long time. Princess An always made the Queen Mother happy every time she came.

"My Lady, I will prepare a set of bowls and chopsticks for you. It has been a long time since you had breakfast with the Queen Mother."

"Okay, thank you, Mammy."
