On the second day, news came from the palace that Chui Liangdi's daughter had been given the title of Princess Luojia, and that she was to receive congratulations from the officials and the bride of the court in the West Mountain Palace on the fifteenth of June.

Upon receiving this news, Ginger was so angry that he threw a set of tea cups made of multicolored gold paste from the old kiln.

For a time, the outside and the inside of the main hall of the Youlan Palace fell silent.

It was fortunate that she had been incomparably glad that Cui Yingying had only given birth to a single baby girl. However, this baby girl had only been here for three days, yet the emperor had already bestowed her with a title.

Jiang Yu could not help but feel unresigned in his heart. Back then, her son had even waited a hundred days for her to bestow the title of Duke!

This really agreed with the saying that there was someone in the court who was easy to be an official.

Needless to say, this was definitely the work of her aunt, Imperial Concubine Cui, who was in the palace.

When Senior Servant Qin saw the broken porcelain all over the room, she winked at the dumbstruck people in the room and smiled, ”It's fine. Empress broke a cup by mistake, so why are you all still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and tidy up these things and make me a new cup of tea? ”

Hearing Senior Servant Qin's words, the palace maids who were originally standing there without daring to take a breath hurriedly took out their handkerchief and bent down to pick up the broken pieces of porcelain. There were also some palace maids who quietly lifted the curtains and steeped a cup of fresh tea in a colored porcelain cup.

Senior Servant Qin attentively accepted the tea and made a hand gesture for everyone to leave.

The group of palace maids all left the main hall as if they had received amnesty.

”Empress.” Senior Servant Qin carefully placed the pink porcelain cup on the table beside Jiang Yu and said with a smile, ”What is it that makes you so angry?”

When Jiang Yu saw that it was Senior Servant Qin, some of the anger in his heart dissipated.

Her heart was full of grievance as she told Qin mama, ”This Cui Family is really too much of a bully!” ”A girl was born only three days ago, but she actually dared to ask the emperor for a title. Aren't she afraid of breaking it …”

Hearing that, Qin mama was so frightened that she quickly covered Jiang Yu's mouth and exclaimed: ”Empress! Be careful of the walls! ”

Qin mama's words woke Jiang Wei from his stupor.

She was also secretly glad that she had not said the word ”lifespan lost” out loud yet.

If not, these words would have passed from her to Cui Yingying's ears, and then to the crown prince, it would never have been beautiful.

”Sigh, my temper is getting worse and worse.” Ginger sighed softly.

”Empress, it's a mess if you're concerned about yourself!” ”Empress Dowager saw that Imperial Concubine Cui's daughter had sealed the princess in less than three days, but you forgot that her daughter is still our daughter. Even if she was sealed to a hundred princesses, she still wouldn't be as noble as our county prince.”

”You are currently in a state of disarray. If that person from the Hall of Crimson Orchid found out, I don't know how to enjoy it,” Qin mama continued to persuade him gently. ”You, ah, should take on a joyful attitude. This way, the crown prince would feel at ease.”

Jiang Yu thought that what Senior Servant Qin said was reasonable, so he asked her to bring out the gift form from that year's Hundred Day Banquet. He realized that Cui Yingying had only given him an ”one hundred years old” Eight Treasures Brocade Nestle Ring. She added a bit more and had Senior Servant Qin go to the storeroom to find a long lock of gold and jade that could be used for wealth and glory, and a pair of bracelets that could be worn by children as a congratulatory gift.

Jiang Wan felt a headache coming on when she received the news.

”Accept the celebration at the Western Palace on the fifteenth of June?” She looked at the boy who came to report with a bit of disbelief.

”Yes, that's what the Crown Prince told me.” That young servant was only eleven or twelve years old, and was wearing the brown and coarse clothing of Jin Mansion. He was brimming with intelligence as he said, ”The Crown Prince has also instructed him to prepare the wedding gift so that you don't have to worry about it. Just prepare your luggage and we will set off in two days.”
