”Of course not. His Majesty despises them for not doing their best to serve the princess. The princess is obviously seven years old, but she doesn't even look to be six years old. His Majesty is so distressed that he even sent off those who served the princess.”
Lin mama shivered. She had already dismissed him. Although she hadn't said it out loud, she completely understood what he meant. She was originally the adopted daughter of the Emperor's mother. With this relationship, she always wanted to serve the Crown Prince or something like that, but the worst she could do was be a prince. The first two beauties in the palace were pregnant one after another. Not long after, the emperor pointed her over. Lin mama's hot blood that had been struggling upwards had turned into clots of blood upon encountering the cold. She had been frightened into a bloody mess by Senior Official Zheng's speech, so she led the crowd to serve the princess even more carefully.
Wei Zhao was obviously more interested in what the emperor had taught her. Tutor Qian didn't dare to gossip with her about the royal family.
”The higher you stand, the more you see, the more you'll know about right and wrong. Some people specifically stare at the braids of others, and sometimes speaking the truth will cause a lot of trouble. It's better to just give them an advantage and save them some trouble. We always have more important things to do.”
”I will remember all of this in my heart. It will be of great use to you in the future.” I have already told you about the Wei's affairs. General Xuan De's residence handed over a paper roll to you, and Wei Fu, the eldest of the Wei family, has limited ability, and second brother, Wei Sulfur, is intelligent, but he was raised under Matriarch's tutelage and is only in charge of concubine affairs at home. The Matriarch is a first-rate lady, and is your nominal grandmother, so if she wants to see you, she can't help but see you, and if she does, you'll become even more famous than you already are, and no one in the capital will dare question your identity. ”
Wei Zhao agreed. The next morning, Red Bamboo woke up with a piece of silk embroidered with five blessings and an auspicious design. Wei Zhao frowned and said, ”Change it.” It was such a hot day and she was dressed in bright red, really. Actually, it wasn't that she couldn't bear it. At the very least, they had worn whatever clothes they brought a few days ago, but ever since Wei Zhao heard the emperor's words, he wanted to test whether his underlings listened or not. Her thoughts were not complicated. I don't care what you wear.
After breakfast, Green Bamboo reported to the matriarch that the matriarch had already entered the palace. Wei Zhao stood up and said, ”Grandmother is an elder, come with me to welcome her.”
Lin mama said, ”Princess's words are extremely true.” ”It's just that the wind outside is too strong. The princess can only stand in the middle of the hall while the old servant goes to fetch the matriarch.”
The Grand Matriarch of the Wei Residence was seventy percent this year. With her current standard of living, she could be considered a longevity. With her youngest son having a happy life, her life went as she wished. This year, when he suddenly heard that the Third Princess hadn't actually died, he was overjoyed, but his heart was beating like a drum. When the Emperor brought the Third Princess back to the palace with great fanfare, more people came to the general's manor to inquire about the situation, so his youngest son, Wei Suluo, encouraged his mother to come to see the princess. Although Old Lady Wei greatly valued her youngest son, she still needed to find her eldest son to make a decision whenever something major happened.
These things naturally could not be concealed from Emperor Qinghe's eyes. Ever since he had been deceived by Pu Yuanping, his control over the capital had been rearranged, and many more people had been sent. When it came to the matter of the Wei family's debts, Emperor Qinghe was quite satisfied. With the Wei family's calmness and discernment, it was not in vain for them to bestow this favor on the General's Estate. If the Wei clan hadn't made any moves, then Emperor Qing He would have asked someone to give them some pointers. But if that was the case, they would have definitely lost their holy intent.
As the group of people escorted Matriarch Wei through the gates of the Eastern Palace, they saw a thirty year old or so woman dressed up in a hurry inside. The matriarch stood straight as the little girl behind her hurriedly said, ”This is Her Highness Princess' upbringing's Senior Servant Lin.”
Lin mama first bowed to the matriarch, then said with a fitting smile, ”Greetings to the matriarch. The princess was looking forward to it early in the morning. Just now, she insisted on coming out to greet the matriarch, but it wasn't easy for the servants to persuade her.”
Knowing the princess's attitude, they were all happy as well. She was accompanied by her daughter-in-law this time, but she didn't dare to say a single word after entering the palace. She only had to take the money, otherwise that little girl wouldn't have taken the initiative to remind them of Lin mama's identity.
However, once they reached the Eastern Palace Region, the only person who could enter was the matriarch herself. Lin mama was such a shrewd person. When she saw the woman behind her, she hurriedly said, ”Don't worry, Matriarch. Everything in the supporting hall is in order.” He then called out to Red Bamboo, ”Take good care of him.”
Old Matriarch Wei had not introduced her as his daughter-in-law. Besides, she had no status, so Senior Servant Lin had also become a little indistinct.
Wei Zhao was well-dressed. He wore a small gold crown of magnolia orchids, his skin was rosy and white, and there was a double dragon ring engraved on his chest. If one looked closely, one would see that the bead in the middle was actually a red ruby the size of a pigeon's egg. Even Boss Du and his wife didn't dare acknowledge such a Wei Zhao for a while.
