Chapter 121 The Eldest Princess, A Family of Unjustly Accused
When the carriage arrived at Tu's house, Tu Jiaojiao was sulking at home, waving her mace to vent her anger.
She already knew the rumors about Xie Yingke's marriage, and she also knew that it must be Chen Fang who was behind it.
Unfortunately, she could neither rush into Xie's house with a mace and execute Chen Fang on the spot, nor could she run out and shout loudly to convince everyone that Xie Ying was not an evil star.
So she could only sulk alone.
Unexpectedly, just as she was sweating profusely and waving the mace non-stop, the maid Liu Ya suddenly rushed in: "Madam, the female official from the Princess's Mansion is outside. She said that the Princess heard that the young lady is a lucky star and wanted to see it with her own eyes, so she specially ordered her to pick you and the young lady up! Madam, the Princess believes that the young lady is a lucky star!"
"What?" Tu Jiaojiao was shocked when she heard this, and slammed the mace in her hand to the ground. "What did you say? A female official from the Princess's residence? And you said Yingying is a lucky star?"
She frowned in confusion, her heart filled with vigilance. "There have been so many rumors lately. Why would the princess think Yingying is a lucky star? And she even wants to meet Yingying in person?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ya also became nervous: "Could it be that my lady suspects something is up? But the princess is of such high status, she can't possibly target the young lady like those bad guys? The young lady is not even three months old!"
Tu Jiaojiao was also confused. "As the eldest princess, there's really no reason for her to target Yingying. However, we should not have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against others. This matter is too strange, and we must not be careless."
When she said this, she immediately told Liu Ya, "Go and apologize for me. Just say I changed my clothes and will be there soon."
"Then the servant will go first."
Liu Ya left with a nervous heart. Tu Jiaojiao put away the mace and hurried back to the room. She wanted to change into clean clothes, but found that she was covered in sweat and smelled of sweat. She had to ask someone to bring hot water and took a quick shower.
Otherwise, if she really appeared in front of the princess and was covered in sweat and smelly, it would be too unfair for her to be charged with disrespect by the princess.
After taking a bath, she asked the maid to help dry her hair while she had Xie Ying brought in.
In front of her daughter, she sighed worriedly, "The princess suddenly sent a lady-in-waiting over here, saying Yingying is a lucky star and she wants to see her with her own eyes. I wonder if someone is behind this again, trying to harm Yingying and me."
Xie Ying was immediately shocked: [The eldest princess wants to see me? And she even calls me a lucky star? This shouldn't be right!]
This plot clearly doesn't exist in the book!
Xie Ying quickly recalled the plot of the book and finally remembered that there was indeed an eldest princess in the book, who was the sister of Emperor Taihe and had a very good relationship with Emperor Taihe.
Unfortunately, the eldest princess only gave birth to one son, who was weak and sickly and died at a young age.
The death of her son was such a huge blow to the eldest princess that she died of illness before she was even thirty.
After her death, the prince consort never remarried, but adopted a son as his heir.
Later, Chu Jiangtian rebelled. Although the prince consort was old, he also wanted to help the emperor put down the rebellion.
Unfortunately, his son had already defected to Chu Jiangtian, believing that Chu Jiangtian was a wise leader. He also drugged the son-in-law and used his identity to deceive the emperor into trusting him, becoming a traitor.
Now the eldest princess actually wants to see her. Could it be that her son is not dead yet?
Otherwise, how could the eldest princess have the mood to meet outsiders when her son died?
But it still doesn't make sense. Even if the eldest princess's son is not dead yet, he should be weak and sickly by now.
Now that she's become a bad luck star, why would the princess send someone to pick her up? Isn't she afraid that this little bad luck star will bring bad luck to her son?
Wait, the eldest princess said she is a lucky star?
There are rumors all over the place that she is an unlucky star. How could the eldest princess think that she is a lucky star?
Did someone tell the princess that she is a lucky star?
Who could this person be?
Could it be my uncle?
If she was not someone the princess trusted very much, how could she believe that she was a lucky star when rumors were flying around?
Could it be that the uncle had bribed even the people the princess trusted? And even took such a huge risk, deceiving the princess by saying she was a lucky star?
This... isn't this too reckless?
Also, has my uncle found a miracle doctor yet? Has the news from the capital reached him?
Xie Ying kept guessing all the possibilities in her mind, but she didn't know that her complaint scared Tu Jiaojiao so much that her heart started beating wildly, and she almost ran away with her!
Just when Tu Jiaojiao was feeling extremely anxious and uneasy, she heard Xie Ying's complaints again: "Humph, didn't Chen Fang spread rumors everywhere, saying that I'm an evil star? I'll fool the princess into thinking I'm a lucky star! Then, let's see who dares to call me an evil star!"
Tu Jiaojiao looked at Xie Ying in surprise: How could she not know that her daughter had such a great ability that she could fool the princess? Could it be that she could make the princess hear those voices?
Although it is a bit unreliable to let a baby who is less than three months old fool the precious princess.
However, after hearing Xie Ying's thoughts, Tu Jiaojiao was finally not so panicked.
Just at this moment, Liu Zhichun strode in.
Tu Jiaojiao subconsciously wanted to get up, but she heard Liu Zhichun say, "Just lie down and dry your hair first. We're going to see the princess later, so we can't lose our manners."
Tu Jiaojiao was shocked when she heard this: "Are you going too?"
Liu Zhichun smiled and said, "For some reason, the princess regarded Yingying as a lucky star and even sent someone to pick you and Yingying up. How could I not accompany you?
You've never been to the Princess's Mansion and don't know the rules. If you say or do something wrong, it will be a serious sin. I can't rest assured if I don't watch over you."
Tu Jiaojiao blushed at what she said, "Mother, I'm not someone who doesn't know the importance of things. How could I be so presumptuous in the Princess's residence? If we offend the noble, she could kill Yingying and me with just one word."
"While that's true, you don't have to be too nervous. Just listen to me carefully.
I will teach you some rules first, and you should remember them. When we go there later, the female official Zhou should also remind us of the rules of the Princess's Mansion.
Since the Princess thinks Yingying is a lucky star, she shouldn't deliberately make things difficult for us. As long as we don't make any mistakes, there won't be any major problems."
Tu Jiaojiao nodded quickly: "Then you say, I'm listening."
Liu Zhichun briefly told her the rules he knew about meeting dignitaries.
Tu Jiaojiao listened and took it all in mind.
Xie Ying, who was standing by, also pricked up her ears and listened secretly, secretly shocked: [Grandma is so understanding! ]
Finally, Tu Jiaojiao's hair was dry.
Liu Zhichun personally combed her hair and picked out a set of clothes for her to wear.
Xie Ying was watching from the side and thought that the bun Liu Zhichun had done for Tu Jiaojiao was quite special.
Moreover, after Tu Jiaojiao put on the clothes she chose and matched her hair with that bun, she seemed to look much more handsome in an instant, like a heroic female knight.
Xie Ying's eyes lit up: [Wow! Mommy is so handsome! She's definitely a lesbian's dream!]
Tu Jiaojiao frowned in confusion: "???"
Chicken ring beets?
Is her daughter hinting at something?
In the front hall, Lady Zhou was already getting impatient waiting: "Is Madam Tu not done cleaning up yet?"
Liu Ya smiled ingratiatingly, "My wife was sweating during martial arts practice earlier. I was worried about being disrespectful to Her Royal Highness the Princess, so I specially burned incense and bathed. It took some time. Please wait a little longer, my wife will be well soon!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lady Zhou suddenly stand up and look straight towards the door.
