Chapter 801 Yun'er, can you send this doll to Lixuan Pavilion?
No matter what the true personalities of Duke Dingguo and his wife were, they were just loving grandparents in front of the eldest princess.
No matter how many things happened outside, during the time the eldest princess stayed in Duke Dingguo's Mansion, no bad things happened to her.
On the contrary, everyone doted on her and she was happier than in the Cining Palace.
Except... sometimes she really missed her mother.
The eldest princess would still be in a very good mood when she returned to the palace.
Although truth cannot be hidden, the eldest princess will find out sooner or later that Liu Shiqing had already been sentenced to death by the emperor.
But some things can be kept secret for a while.
Empress Dowager Liu had already instructed in advance that anyone who dared to mention the death of Lady Liu in front of the eldest princess would be beaten to death!
She rarely gave such harsh orders, which shocked many people for a while.
Although the emperor did not issue an official decree, Li Changde had warned people in the palace not to gossip in front of the eldest princess.
Li Changde's words often expressed the emperor's intentions, and many people calmed down.
Shen Zhinian is in a high position, and there are so many people who want to pull her down and replace her!
But she acted so flawlessly that they couldn't find any chance.
Some people originally thought that perhaps this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Although the decree for Liu Shiqing's death was issued by His Majesty, Concubine Chen was closely related to her fate!
The incident with Concubine Sun was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
She is from Zhongcui Palace. Isn't everything related to her related to Concubine Chen?
The eldest princess is still so young, how can she distinguish right from wrong? If someone tries to stir up trouble in front of her...
Although a child under five years old can't do anything big, she is the apple of the eye of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and the treasure of Duke Dingguo's Mansion. If he really hates Concubine Shangchen, he may not be able to make her suffer.
However... with the Empress Dowager's decree in front and Li Changde's warning in the back, these smart people could only give up this idea temporarily.
A trace of regret flashed across Yingxiang's eyes: "What a pity."
"Otherwise, if the eldest princess makes a scene, it will be enough for Concubine Chen to drink a pot! She is such a grown-up, she can't argue with a child, right?"
"No matter whether Lady Liu was killed by Concubine Chen or not, as long as the eldest princess says so and makes a big fuss about it, three people will make a tiger appear..."
Concubine Chun said in a deep voice: "The Empress Dowager and His Majesty do not want the eldest princess to know that Liu has passed away. Whoever tells this to the eldest princess will offend the two great Buddhas to death? If His Majesty and the Empress Dowager investigate, who can bear the consequences?"
"Don't do something that hurts the enemy by eight hundred and hurts yourself by a thousand."
Yingxiang nodded: "I understand, I just feel it's a pity."
"My lady, you have always wanted to win over the eldest princess, but she has moved to the Duke Dingguo's mansion. Now that the eldest princess has finally returned to the palace, would you like to send someone to invite her over for some cakes?"
Concubine Chun shook her head: "Can our people easily enter the Cining Palace? Such a purposeful matter cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Empress Dowager."
"Just wait a little longer, there will always be an opportunity."
Yingxiang bowed her head and said, "Yes."
……
Cining Palace.
The eldest princess was in a better mood and became much more cheerful.
She ran into Empress Dowager Liu's bedroom with her short legs, bowed and said, "Grandmother, Yun'er is back!"
Queen Dowager Liu didn’t look carefully before, but only now did she realize that the eldest princess’s eyebrows and eyes were actually very similar to Liu Shiqing’s.
When Liu Shiqing was just born, Duke Dingguo led his army to fight the Huns on the border, and his wife was busy with the household chores at home. It can be said that Liu Shiqing was brought up by Empress Dowager Liu.
How could she not love Qingqing?
It's just that for a wealthy family, the family's future and glory are much more important than a person's life...
When necessary, Queen Mother Liu can even sacrifice herself, let alone others?
But at this moment, looking at the young princess's tender eyes, Queen Dowager Liu seemed to see Qingqing when she was a child...
Her tone slowed down a lot, and she asked in a gentle voice: "Yun'er is back? Is Duke Dingguo's Mansion fun?"
The eldest princess nodded: "It's fun! Everyone is very nice to Yun'er!"
She actually wanted to say that it would be nice if her mother was here too, as her grandmother missed her mother very much...
But she was afraid of upsetting the Empress Dowager, so she didn't say it in the end.
The eldest princess took a small doll from the nanny behind her, handed it to Empress Dowager Liu and said, "Grandmother, this is a gift that Yun'er brought back for you from outside the palace!"
Empress Dowager Liu had seen all kinds of treasures in her life, but when she looked at this exquisite wooden doll, she still smiled with her eyes curved: "I like it very much. Yun'er is very thoughtful."
The eldest princess smiled sweetly: "Grandmother, Yun'er brought back three dolls, one for you, one for father, and one for mother... Liu."
"Can Yun'er give the remaining two to them personally?"
At the end of her speech, the eldest princess's expression became cautious.
Even though Empress Dowager Liu was hard-hearted, she felt a little uncomfortable at this moment...
Nanny Yuan was even more sighing.
I'm afraid meeting Liu is the eldest princess's ultimate goal.
She used to be a carefree princess. As long as she asked for something, countless people would give it to her. But now she has learned to beat around the bush.
But... Liu is no longer alive...
Seeing that Empress Dowager Liu was hesitant to answer, the eldest princess lowered her head and said sensibly, "It doesn't matter if you can't."
"Grandmother, can you help Yun'er deliver this doll to Lixuan Pavilion? Yun'er has been choosing for a long time!"
My mother will be very happy when she sees this.
She hopes her mother will be happy, so she won't be a bad person anymore.
Queen Mother Liu looked at the eldest princess with a complicated look: "...Okay."
"This is the last wooden sculpture. You should personally give it to your father."
Although the eldest princess was once the emperor's favorite child, there are more and more children in the palace, and fatherly love will also change.
If the eldest princess does not go to the emperor to seek favor for a long time, his feelings for her will surely fade as time goes by.
A princess without a mother and no longer loved by her father, her future can be imagined...
Go ahead.
While the emperor still has some complicated feelings for Qingqing, let Yun'er show her face in front of him more often.
The eldest princess didn't know that Empress Dowager Liu had so many thoughts in her mind. She nodded and smiled, "Okay. Yun'er hasn't seen father for a long time and misses him very much!"
"Grandmother, you must remember to help Yun'er send this doll to Lixuan Pavilion!"
Empress Dowager Liu responded with a smile.
Nanny Yuan looked at the doll left by the eldest princess and said, "Empress Dowager, this..."
Lixuan Pavilion has been empty for a long time.
