Chapter 520 The Emperor's Persuasion
The wife of the Marquis of Qingjiang paled. This was a serious statement. She apologized again, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's all because I didn't discipline him properly. Prince Mu is certainly your majesty's bloodline, but he's also the bloodline of the Marquis of Qingjiang. I'm his biological grandmother, so how could I not feel sorry for him?"
The wife of the Marquis of Qingjiang was also overwhelmed with sorrow as she spoke, tears streaming down her face unconsciously: "I just feel sorry for my son and grandson!"
The wife of the Marquis of Qingjiang didn't dare to say anything else. "From now on, I will definitely control the women of the Marquis of Qingjiang's mansion. I only hope that my grandson can be reborn into a wealthy family in the next life. An'er will always be the heir of the Marquis of Qingjiang's mansion!"
After this statement, Lan Qingwu softened her voice, "I've already reported to His Majesty that it would be best for Prince Mu to be buried in the Jiang family's ancestral tomb. The eldest prince consort and the eldest princess are deeply in love, so there's no need to worry about not having a second or third child in the future! Madam, don't be sad. After a while, Mingzhu will recover and will definitely live happily with the eldest prince consort!"
As for the other two Mrs. Jiang, Lan Qingwu did not say anything more. He believed that they would restrain themselves in the future.
Lan Qingwu's repeated warnings and finally his consolation made the wife of Marquis Qingjiang cheer up and start managing the affairs of the Grand Princess's Mansion seriously. For a while, the Grand Princess's Mansion was no longer filled with gossips and became much quieter.
Emperor Shenwu stepped into the house. Because he had not informed the Grand Princess's Mansion in advance, the Grand Princess's husband was still in the bedroom, chatting with the Grand Princess to relieve her boredom.
Li Xiang sent eunuchs in advance to clear out the palace servants and eunuchs in the side hall, and then followed Emperor Shenwu into the bedroom.
In the bedroom, the eldest son-in-law was pouring tea for the eldest princess.
The eldest princess looked at the back of her husband's wife and slowly pulled out a golden hairpin from her hair. The hairpin was made of pure gold and was in the shape of a jasmine flower. It looked delicate and beautiful.
Emperor Shenwu stepped in and saw this scene as soon as he came in.
"Pearl!"
The eldest princess's hand trembled, and she looked at the Emperor Shenwu who strode in in surprise.
The Grand Consort's hand holding the teacup trembled involuntarily, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Shenwu shouted with a slightly gloomy face, "No need to be so polite! Mingzhu, what are you doing with this hairpin?"
The eldest prince consort turned around with a puzzled look on his face and saw the eldest princess tightly holding a hairpin. His heart skipped a beat: "Princess, what are you doing? You said you wanted to dress up today. What do you want to do now?"
Princess Mingzhu trembled slightly, bit her lips, lowered her head stubbornly and said nothing.
Emperor Shenwu sighed slightly: "All of you get out!"
The prince consort looked deeply at Princess Mingzhu and retreated step by step.
Inside the room, Princess Mingzhu leaned against the bed with a pale face. Emperor Shenwu walked up to her and held out his hand: "Give it to me!"
Princess Mingzhu loosened her hand, and Emperor Shenwu took out the golden hairpin. Li Xiang quietly moved a sandalwood chair for Emperor Shenwu, and then quietly stood guard at the bedroom door.
Emperor Shenwu lifted his robe and sat down. "Today I will tell you about your biological mother. Haven't you always been asking me about your mother?"
Princess Mingzhu raised her head and asked, "Do you still remember my mother?"
Emperor Shenwu sighed inwardly, "When your mother was pregnant with you, you were a worry-free child. Your grandmother said at the time that you were a well-behaved child. However, your mother and daughter have a weak bond. After your mother gave birth to you, she knew that her time was running out, so she begged me to ensure that you grow up safely! Mingzhu, your life was saved by your mother. Her only wish is that you live a peaceful life! Mingzhu, as long as you and your husband live a good life, you will have more children!"
"If you want to end your life simply because of a momentary blow and pain, then you are unworthy of being a princess of the Dasheng Dynasty! The Grand Prince Consort loves you deeply, and I have already bestowed upon the child the title of King and ordered a lavish burial. Mingzhu, think carefully about this: your parents, your husband, and your grandmother. Have you thought about them?"
Emperor Shenwu stood up and placed the golden hairpin on the sandalwood table with a crisp sound. "You are the one who can decide your fate! Mingzhu, think about it carefully!"
Emperor Shenwu had never had such a heart-to-heart talk with a child, especially his eldest daughter. He felt that he had said enough and made everything clear enough, so he got up and left.
Princess Mingzhu has to figure out what path to take next, and no one can replace her.
Emperor Shenwu's persuasion was effective. When the prince consort returned to his bedroom, he found that the princess was gently tucking her hair. Princess Mingzhu's eyes were no longer empty and numb. Her eyes were dark and bright, with an unfathomable meaning.
