Chapter 796: Encountering the Young Master in Brocade Clothes Again
Empress Dowager Liu was silent for a long time.
Because of Liu's incident in the past few months, the eldest princess is no longer the carefree girl she used to be. When Empress Dowager Liu heard that she was depressed all day and secretly wiped away tears from time to time, she felt very distressed.
Although she was very strict with her subordinates, no one in the Cining Palace dared to gossip in front of the eldest princess. But the eldest princess was not without legs, and she would occasionally run outside.
The palace is so big that even Empress Dowager Liu can't control everyone's mouth. If Liu is gone, the eldest princess will know sooner or later.
Empress Dowager Liu truly loved the eldest princess, and immediately said to Nanny Yuan, "Pass on my imperial decree to allow the eldest princess to stay at her maternal grandparents' home for half a month to relax and unwind."
The eldest princess is still so young, and it is against the rules for her to live in Duke Dingguo's mansion alone for such a long time.
But special circumstances require special treatment.
Since Empress Dowager Liu had issued an imperial decree, naturally no one would dare to object.
Even if Nangong Xuanyu knew about this, he would agree.
No matter how much he hated Liu Shiqing, his love for the princess was real. Nangong Xuanyu probably didn't want the princess to know that Liu Shiqing was in trouble so soon.
Madam Yuan said, "Please rest assured, Empress Dowager, I understand!"
The interrogation efficiency of the Ministry of Punishment is very high, and the matter will have a result soon. Yuan Ma did not dare to delay and went to do it immediately.
The eldest princess was in her room, looking at the portrait that Chu Xiyan had painted of her and her mother. Her little face was filled with mixed emotions.
On the one hand, she already knew that her mother was a bad person.
But on the other hand, this is her mother after all...
Hearing the noise, the eldest princess looked towards the door, put down the scroll and asked in confusion: "Madame Yuan, why are you here?"
Nanny Yuan showed the eldest princess a gentle smile and said in a gentle voice: "Eldest Princess, do you miss your grandparents?"
"The Empress Dowager said that she was afraid that you would be bored in the palace, so she asked me to send you to the Duke Dingguo's mansion to stay for half a month."
The royal family is not like ordinary people's families. The eldest princess has only met her grandparents at palace banquets and has never been to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Children who are not even five years old are at the age of having fun. Hearing what Nanny Yuan said, the eldest princess got down from her chair and nodded heavily: "Yun'er is willing!"
She hasn't seen her grandparents for a long time and misses them so much!
Nanny Yuan smiled and said, "I will take you there right away."
Then she ordered people to start packing things for the eldest princess.
The eldest princess left the palace with Nanny Yuan in great joy and headed towards Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
When Empress Dowager Liu instructed Nanny Yuan to do this, she sent someone out of the palace to deliver the message, and the people in Duke Dingguo's Mansion had already received the news.
Although the eldest princess is young and a junior, she is, after all, a princess of the golden branch and jade leaf!
This was her first time as a guest at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. The mansion opened its doors and the masters were waiting at the door.
Duke Dingguo was very busy with government affairs and had not yet left the office, so this time it was his wife who took the lead in welcoming him.
The precious eldest princess came to visit for the first time, and everyone's faces were filled with anticipation.
Ever since Liu Shiqing fell from power, the people in Duke Dingguo's Mansion have been feeling uneasy, fearing that His Majesty would take his anger out on her.
Now it seems that His Majesty is willing to let the eldest princess stay in Duke Dingguo's Mansion for half a month, which means that he is not angry with them because of Liu Shiqing.
Only the wife of Duke Dingguo looked somewhat uneasy...
Others don't know, but doesn't she know? This was the Queen Mother's idea, and Your Majesty just didn't object.
The Queen Mother would never send the eldest princess here for no reason. It seems like she is trying to make her avoid something...
She was still a child. What could happen in the palace that could implicate the eldest princess? The only person who was related to her was Qingqing...
Thinking back to what she had done secretly, Lady Dingguo became even more anxious...
However, now, she can't do anything but wait for the final result...
……
Lu Mansion.
Since she was the only one living in the huge mansion, Shen Nanqiao's life was so comfortable. She would go out for an outing today or go out to enjoy the flowers tomorrow.
This was the first time since her rebirth that she felt that life after rebirth was not bad.
She has no mother-in-law to oppress her above, no children to bother her below, and no concubines to cause her trouble in the middle.
As long as she doesn't compare herself with Shen Zhinian and sticks to her own little piece of land, with Concubine Chen's current status in the palace and the Shen family's family background, she can live better than most women in the world.
If...if my mother were still alive...
Knowing that it was his father's tacit approval and even instigation that caused his mother to pass away so early, Shen Nanqiao had long been resentful of Shen Maoxue and now rarely even went back to his mother's home.
Seeing that the sun was so big today and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, she planned to go to a famous summer resort on the outskirts of Beijing, stay there for a month or two, and then return to Beijing when the weather was cooler.
Shen Nanqiao was used to being free these days. He would leave whenever he wanted. He asked the coachman to harness the carriage and set off with his maid.
Who knew that halfway through the journey, the driver suddenly cried out in surprise! The carriage jolted and stopped.
Shen Nanqiao almost fell out.
The maid quickly supported her and asked with concern: "Madam, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Shen Nanqiao frowned fiercely, got off the carriage with the help of the maid, looked at the driver and asked, "What's going on?!"
The driver was also aggrieved: "Madam, the wheel is broken..."
"I checked it yesterday. How could it be that..."
The maid's face suddenly turned ugly: "This is a remote place, there is no village in front and no shop behind... The carriage broke down at this time, what should we do?"
Just when Shen Nanqiao was at a loss, the sound of wheels suddenly came from the woods behind.
They looked back and saw a gorgeous carriage slowly driving out of the woods.
Seeing Shen Nanqiao and his group, the gorgeous carriage stopped, and a young man's voice came from inside: "Why did it stop?"
The guard said respectfully, "Sir, there is a carriage blocking the road ahead."
As the curtain of the carriage was lifted, a young man in brocade clothes walked out.
Seeing Shen Nanqiao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It's you?"
Obviously, Shen Nanqiao also recognized the other person.
Last time, she had a big fight with the shameless mother and son of the Lu family, ran away from home, and accidentally bumped into this young man in brocade clothes on the street.
Although a lot of time had passed, the other person's appearance was so outstanding that Shen Nanqiao was deeply impressed by him.
Unexpectedly, the other party also remembered her...
