Chapter 105 Kneeling Punishment
Grandma Yan responded and went to Yongning Hall to deliver the message.
Li Chengze leaned on the Queen Mother and shook her arm, "Grandma, please help me teach her. I won't listen no matter what I say.
I took back the palace rights early, checked the accounts, and prepared them all. I was waiting for her to come in and hand everything over to her.
But she did this on the first day and repeatedly rejected my words in front of everyone. Am I shameless? She also said that everyone should do the work. This is not something you learned from the Zhou family. "
"You are also very partial."
The Queen Mother could see clearly that her grandson had that Ding in his heart, and the princess had repeatedly tested her, which made her grandson angry.
When you first entered the house, you and the prince didn't have any feelings for each other. How could he help you? You're such a stupid boy. It's not too late for you to wait. How can you be so tough with this man?
After a while, the Crown Princess came, and Nanny Yan reported at the door, "To the Queen Mother, the Crown Princess is here."
"Let me kneel at the door and wake up."
The emperor scolded angrily.
He was really angry. No matter who was right or wrong, or you were wronged, but as the Crown Princess, you didn't do what you should do, and you didn't take any responsibility for the East Palace's affairs. It's just that you were wrong.
As a head wife, you can't shoulder your responsibilities, you can't persuade others, and you make it known to everyone. Do you think you did the right thing? I won't punish you aggrievedly.
The Crown Princess knelt at the door of the inner palace, lowered her head and said nothing, tears falling down one drop at a time.
"As a crown princess, I married you just to make you jealous? What kind of brain do you have?"
The royal family attaches great importance to the position of their legitimate wives, and rights and prestige are not given in vain. You have to show your own strength and let others praise you for your dignity and standing.
Obviously the current crown princess cannot stand. This is why the emperor is angry, and it has nothing to do with the Ding family or the Ma family.
If you have the ability to find fault with the concubines, and clean up the East Palace neatly and with good reason, leaving others speechless, then the emperor will not bother to care about you.
The Crown Princess outside the palace remained silent and silently wiped away her tears. She knew that all her dignity had been lost and she had to be careful about her words and actions in the future. This time she really suffered a big fall.
"Chengze, please come with me. There are still things to discuss before the court, so I will leave the mother-in-law and princess to you. Please take care of yourself."
"Go ahead, just leave these small things to the Ai family."
The Queen Mother smiled gently at the Emperor.
The emperor then got up and took Li Chengze to the study. He indeed had matters from the previous dynasty to discuss with his son. As a prince, it was necessary for him to study the affairs of the dynasty. If he had the opportunity, he would take him with him to take the exam to get some points.
The father and son walked past the Crown Princess, and Li Chengze left without paying her any unnecessary glances.
His patience was completely worn away by Zhou Ying, who looked completely different from the wife he expected. Apart from his disappointment, he became completely impatient with her.
It has nothing to do with appearance or talent, it's just a matter of character.
On the way, the emperor said to his son, "Chengze, you should respect her even if you don't like her. After all, she is a wife. The Zhou family has a lot of energy, so you can use her."
"Yes, actually my son has been looking forward to her coming in. I have prepared everything just for her.
I also planned to live for a full month to give my legitimate wife face and respect her as a guest. I didn’t expect that she has the ability to drive people crazy.”
Li Chengze raised his head and took a deep breath.
"You like Ding so much? What's the good thing?"
Even the emperor guessed that he deliberately sought out the Queen Mother to punish the Crown Princess because of the Ding family.
"I don't dare to lie to my father. I like Ding, I really like her. It's also Yu's problem.
Ms. Ding was cautious and didn't dare to mention it, for fear that I would also upset her, but Zhou Ying knew clearly that there was a taboo and insisted on asking the question to the end, without caring about my face at all.
Father, sometimes I am not deliberately biased."
I've given you a chance more than once.
The emperor nodded. Personality is the primary factor in getting along with a husband and wife. In fact, it has nothing to do with appearance and talent. If the personality does not match, it will be troublesome.
"The respect that should be given must still be given. The Zhou family's face must be taken into consideration."
"Yes, my son has remembered it."
Li Chengze sighed secretly, as expected, his father did not necessarily hope that he and the Crown Princess would be harmonious and loving, and all the power of the Zhou family was in his hands.
Instead, he tolerated his doting on the Ding family. Is it so complicated and contradictory to become an emperor?
Lan'er said that you can make small mistakes that are not considered wrong, and you should take the initiative to admit them without shirk, but you should do 90% of the important things well, and don't rush to win over the courtiers and consolidate the power.
As long as you sit firmly in the position of the prince, it is enough. Sooner or later, you will be able to see the light of day when you are young.
Lan'er is right, as long as I don't make a big mistake and don't destroy me, then I am safe and no one can pass me to sit on that chair.
The Crown Princess was still kneeling outside the palace. The Queen Mother read the Taoist scriptures for a while. This was the book Huilan copied. The more she looked at the fonts, the more peaceful she felt. The artistic conception and charm of the words were very good. She felt comfortable and quiet as she looked at them.
"Let her in."
The Queen Mother looked at the old man for a while, her eyes were so dazzled that she couldn't hold it any longer before she put it down.
The Crown Princess came in and knelt on the ground to salute.
"My granddaughter-in-law sends her greetings to the Queen Mother and asks her to atone for her sins."
"Get up."
The Queen Mother sighed.
"Originally, the Ai family didn't want to meddle in your business. I'm too old to be annoying. But you are becoming more and more leftist.
Did you know that your mother handed over the sign three times but was rejected by the Queen?"
The Queen Mother had to wake up Zhou Ying. If she continued like this, it would be a matter of time before she was rejected by Li Chengze.
Zhou Ying raised her head and was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why the queen blocked her mother's sign. This wasn't against any rules.
The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed, she couldn't compare to that little girl, that one was as seductive as a skinned fox, this one was a bit stupid.
"You don't even know this, so what have you been doing this month? How many minions have been hired in the East Palace? Which ones are useful and which are not? Do you know who those informants are?"
The Queen Mother leaned on a cushion with bright yellow peonies in bloom and took the exam for Zhou Ying.
Sweat broke out on her face, she really didn't know anything about this.
"It was my fault."
At this moment, I realized where I had gone wrong and understood why the emperor was angry.
"You! You are so confused. You even dare to reject what I say. In front of Quan Donggong, even if the Ai family gave birth to an emperor, you don't dare to reject the words of a son. You are a bigger card than the Ai family."
The Emperor is the Empress Dowager's own son, and even so, she is cautious in her words and deeds, regardless of everything. She never disobeys the Emperor's son, let alone meddles in his own affairs.
The emperor would do whatever the emperor asked her to do without asking any extra questions. Therefore, the emperor was very filial to her and would come and sit for a while when he had time.
There was more and more sweat on Zhou Ying's forehead, and her whole body began to tremble.
"There are gains and losses. You are the Crown Princess. If you can't bear this responsibility, you can find someone else to do it. Your mother will enter the palace tomorrow, so you can take care of yourself."
