Chapter 199: Unlucky, she was the one to be operated on
As soon as the three of them walked out of the palace, they saw the Rong family's carriage and horses waiting outside.
The four young masters of the Rong family came to greet them at the same time.
"Xiao Wu!" The eldest son of the Rong family waved to the princess.
The long-lost Xiaowu made the princess' eyes red. She could no longer control her emotions and responded excitedly, "Brother, long time no see!"
Now, the forty-six-year-old Young Master Rong has lost his usual maturity and choked up.
"Where are the second brother, third brother, and fourth brother?" The other three young masters stepped forward together.
Among the four sons of the Rong family, three were into literature and one into military affairs.
They are all elegant and dignified.
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother." The princess called out one by one.
Young Master Rong looked at the princess carefully before nodding with satisfaction.
Judging from his sister's current condition, it seems that he made the right decision to entrust his sister to King Huaiyang.
"Yan'an." He turned to look at Xiao Yan'an again and patted Xiao Yan'an's shoulder lovingly.
"Uncle." Xiao Yan'an called out immediately.
"What about us?" The fourth uncle on the side frowned in dissatisfaction.
"Second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle." Xiao Yan'an hurriedly bowed to them.
"Do you want to solemnly introduce your wife to us?" Young Master Rong asked jokingly.
Xiao Yan'an immediately held Ji Chuhe's arm and brought her to his uncles.
"Uncles, this is my wife, her name is Ji Chuhe."
Ji Chuhe immediately bowed, "He'er greets the uncles."
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite!" Several uncles said in unison.
"Yan'an, you are so lucky to marry He'er!" Fourth uncle pointed at Xiao Yan'an.
Several others nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes." Xiao Yan'an responded quickly.
Several uncles looked at Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe with deep love in their eyes.
He really is my own child, I like him no matter how I look at him.
Ji Chuhe also felt the warmth that only family can bring.
"Let's go back quickly. Father and mother are still waiting anxiously." The Fourth Young Master reminded.
"Fourth brother, don't be in a hurry. The people from Huaiyang Palace are still in the palace." The princess stopped him.
"Don't worry, my eldest brother has already arranged for someone to pick them up. We can go back to the mansion directly. They might even arrive before us."
Suddenly, a fast horse came towards this side.
The person on the horse was none other than Young Master Rong's subordinate who was sent to the palace to pick someone up.
"My Lord, this is bad!" The man dismounted and knelt on one knee in front of the Lord. "Something happened in the palace. All the people in the Huaiyang Palace have been detained!"
"Withheld? What does that mean?" the princess asked anxiously.
"I have not been able to find out any news, so I have no choice but to hurry and inform the eldest master."
"Go to the palace!" The princess turned around and got on the carriage.
Ji Chuhe also hurriedly followed.
……
Jianzhang Palace.
Concubine Luo's bedroom.
She leaned back in the chair with her eyes closed, and the maid massaged her shoulders carefully.
A palace maid came up to her side with brisk steps.
"My Lady, it's done."
Only then did Concubine Luo open her eyes and reveal a hint of contemptuous smile.
"Mrs. Rong doesn't take me seriously. She thinks I'm the second daughter of the Luo family. She can teach me whatever she wants! She still dares to be so arrogant. I'll teach her a lesson."
"Don't worry, Madam. Princess Huaiyang will never openly challenge you for a concubine. She must bear the loss!"
……
The temporary palace, where the servants of Huaiyang Palace were accommodated, had its gates closed.
The conditions inside are unknown.
Because of their status and without the emperor's approval, the young masters of the Rong family could not enter the palace together and could only wait outside.
The princess walked in quickly with Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yanan.
When they saw the closed palace gate, the three of them felt depressed.
Outside the palace gate, there were several eunuchs guarding. When they saw the princess and her two companions, they immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Meet Princess Huaiyang."
"I came here on the orders of the Emperor to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday. You servants actually dared to detain everyone in my house here. You are so audacious!"
"Please calm down, Princess." Several eunuchs immediately knelt down. "There is indeed a reason for this. Please investigate carefully, Princess."
"Open the door!" the princess shouted angrily.
Just then, the door slowly opened, and an old maid dressed in palace dress stood at the front door.
I saw that the flesh on her cheeks was drooping, and the corners of her lips were also drooping. She looked fierce and difficult to get along with.
"It was you, old man, who locked up my people?" The princess walked forward and started questioning.
The princess was no stranger to this person.
This was Concubine Luo’s wet nurse, who followed Concubine Luo into the palace.
Now that she appeared here, the princess immediately understood.
This matter has something to do with Concubine Luo!
He didn't get any advantage in the palace, but now he turns around and attacks her people. Does he really think she is a soft persimmon?
"This old servant greets the princess." Nanny Tian bowed in a pretentious manner.
"Madam Tian, were you the one who detained all the people in my Huaiyang Palace? You are so bold!" The princess stepped forward and scolded her angrily.
"Princess, don't you even ask me what happened?" Nanny Tian raised her eyes and looked at the princess.
"You tell me." The princess responded coldly.
"The Imperial Concubine sympathizes with your fatigue from the long journey. She heard that the Crown Prince's two concubines were accompanying you, one of whom was pregnant, so she ordered the kitchen of the palace to prepare snacks for the two concubines." Nanny Tian deliberately paused here.
Ji Chuhe secretly clenched his hands.
Is this an attack on Dong Ling? !
The matter of offspring is a serious matter, even if it is a bastard's son, Concubine Luo would not dare to harm him so blatantly!
"Why don't you say anything? Go on!" the princess shouted.
"Everything in the palace is luxurious and exquisite, even the plates for snacks are made of crystal and are worth a fortune! After the two concubines finished their snacks, when the maid went in to collect the plates, she found that one of the plates for Concubine Xu's snacks was missing! Originally, this was not a big deal, but when the maid asked about it, Concubine Xu flew into a rage and beat the maid!"
Xiao Yan'an was visibly nervous at this moment, and looked towards the hall.
"Finally, the matter was reported to me. Aunt Xu was adamant that she didn't take it, and her attitude was extremely arrogant. I had no choice but to order a search. Finally, the crystal plate was found in Xu Yan'er's bag, so I detained her and sent someone to inform the Imperial Concubine to let her decide."
"Princess, you just came to the capital, so you may not know that the Imperial Concubine is now in the emperor's favor and has the power to assist in the management of the six palaces. The palace rules are strict. Although Aunt Xu is not a maid in the palace, she has committed such a serious crime. She should be beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave. However, the Imperial Concubine suppressed the matter because of her old friendship with you, Princess, and only asked Princess to punish her appropriately."
