Chapter 157 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (22)

"Mother, no matter how well I make my purse, what's the use?" Li Danruo's voice was full of grievance, "Even if my father gave him a palace hairpin, he still wore the purse made by Li Handan."

"How do you know that it was Xiaowu who made the purse?" The Queen did not quite believe her daughter's words. "Did Xiaowu give it to your father in front of you?"

"Only Li Handan could make such an ugly purse." Li Danruo said disdainfully, "I saw her unfinished purse in the needlework class before."

The Queen now truly understood that Emperor Zhaohui had rewarded her daughter in such a high-profile manner, and there might be other intentions behind it.

"Mother, my father is partial to more than just his purse." Li Danruo gritted his teeth as he thought of what happened today. "I waited for a long time in my father's side hall today.

I thought my father was busy with work, but he wasn't. When my father and Li Handan passed by the side hall door, I wanted to follow them, but Mammy stopped me.

When the third princess's wet nurse heard her talk about what she had just done, she knelt down almost reflexively. No matter what the reason was, her behavior was a capital crime.

"Madam, you don't have to be so scared." Seeing her kneel down, the Queen consoled her, "I know you are doing this for Liu Niang's own good. Otherwise, if you had rushed forward rashly, I'm afraid the Emperor would have disliked you by now."

"This old servant has overstepped the line." The wet nurse only dared to take the blame but not to claim credit.

"You go down first! Let's have a private talk." The queen smiled and waved her hand, asking the wet nurse to leave first.

"Mother, Nanny is doing this for my own good." Li Danruo saw the anger in the queen's eyes. "Her actions were a little inappropriate, but her heart was good after all."

"You have good intentions, but without the means, you can only be slaughtered." The Queen said calmly, "I know you trust her, but she can't protect you. Let Nanny Yan follow you from now on! Only those who are familiar with the rules can make the rules work for you."

"Then." Li Danruo's unfinished words were meant to ask for mercy for his wet nurse.

"Let him live in retirement!" The queen decided a person's fate with just one sentence.

The queen acted quickly. Before the third princess Li Danruo returned to her own palace, the wet nurse was taken away. She was replaced by Li Danruo's foster nurse, Nanny Yan.

Nanny Yan had never been valued by Li Danruo. At first, she was still living a good life as a governess, but after the third princess went to the Royal Academy, she was basically abandoned.

People in the palace are used to flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. After sitting on the bench for the past few years, Nanny Yan was reinstated and reused, but she was much more submissive than when she first arrived at Kunning Palace.

On this first day in office, although Nanny Yan still didn't smile much, she was more obedient than before, and her tone was much more polite than before.

"Mammy, you are an elder in the palace. Do you know about the Cui family's legitimate daughter?" The third princess Li Danruo originally wanted to ask her mother.

But before she could finish her words, the Queen stopped her with a look. She herself also felt that Feng Yuman's eyes seemed to stay on her intentionally for a moment.

"What does the Third Princess want to know?" Nanny Yan bowed and began to smile, "To be honest with you, Princess, I once had the honor of meeting the eldest daughter of the Cui family."

"What does Madam Yan want?" Li Danruo read greed from Madam Yan's smile. "As the saying goes, 'The master is worried about the servant's humiliation, and the master is humiliated and the servant dies.' Madam Yan is by my side, so you should put me first in everything."

"Then I, this old servant, must show my loyalty." Nanny Yan kowtowed to the Third Princess Li Danruo and said while kneeling, "When the eldest daughter of the Cui family was alive, even the eldest princess of the dynasty had to avoid her!

The Crown Prince at that time was the present Emperor, who held her in the palm of his hand! The late Emperor and the Empress Dowager treated her as their own daughter, otherwise, with her body, how could she have survived until the age of twelve?

Her body was made of all the good things in the world. Unfortunately, "God doesn't give her a long life, and people don't get what they want." No matter how good the things were, she only lived to the age of twelve.

"Since you have talked about her, then tell me, does the Fifth Princess Li Handan really look like her?" Li Danruo's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Princess, do you want to hear the truth?" Nanny Yan kept the secret.

Li Danruo's face was gloomy: "Of course."

"She looks like her, and more like the Empress Huici, oh, Concubine Rou." Now that we have come to this point, Nanny Yan plans to say a few more words, "The Empress asked me to be the Fifth Princess's nanny.

He also wanted me to change her naivety and some of her characteristics similar to that of the Cui family's eldest daughter.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. This matter did not succeed, and I became your foster nanny."

In fact, in my previous life, this plan was successful and had certain effects.
