Chapter 138 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (3)

Ever since Li Handan was named Princess Rui'an, many people wanted to raise her. Everyone knew that her face was the best tool to win favor.

With her by his side, Emperor Zhaohui would always come to visit her, and that would be the best opportunity for her to gain favor.

How could the queen give up such a good opportunity to others? Moreover, she had a great advantage: her daughter, the third princess Li Danruo, was of similar age to Li Handan and could keep each other company.

In order to fight for custody, the queen even played the family card, saying that she missed her cousin Cui Lanzhi very much, and being able to raise a fifth princess who looked very similar to her would just satisfy her longing.

With such reasons and the queen's status, Emperor Zhaohui finally agreed to let her raise Li Handan.

Of course, he was not afraid that the Queen would do anything strange, because Emperor Zhaohui had placed his own people around Li Handan and had also sent more secret guards.

Two months after her biological mother's death, the fifth princess Li Handan finally moved into a side hall of the Queen's Kunning Palace and was officially raised by her.

On the second day after Li Handan entered Kunning Palace, she happened to meet Lady Anguo, Chu Xu, who came to the palace to visit the Queen with her two sons: the eldest son Chu Yuhe and the younger son Chu Yuxuan.

Duke Anguo was the companion of Emperor Zhaohui. He not only enjoyed his trust, but also had outstanding abilities and made many outstanding achievements. His wife was also a noble lady from an aristocratic family whom Emperor Zhaohui arranged to marry. Most importantly, his wife had a good relationship with the empress.

The Queen also hinted several times that she wanted to marry her children to those of the Duke of Anguo. Although the wife of the Duke of Anguo, Chu Xu, did not express her opinion on the surface, she would bring her two sons with her when she met the Queen eight out of ten times afterwards.

This day was the day when the wife of Duke Anguo came to the palace to visit the Queen. While the two were talking, she asked the nanny beside her to take the children out to play.

"Chu Yuhe pays his respects to the third princess." After all, Chu Yuhe is already eight years old, so he is quite considerate in terms of etiquette.

As for his younger brother Chu Yuxuan, he was only a little over five years old, so he just said "Hello, sister" to the third princess as before.

"Brother Yuhe, did you bring me any good things from the palace this time?" The six-year-old third princess Li Danruo pulled Chu Yuhe's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"This was made by a vendor at a clay figurine stall I saw on the street a few days ago. Do you like it?" Chu Yuhe took out a clay figurine shaped like a bird and handed it over.

Li Danruo took the clay figurine in her hands and played with it. She liked it very much. She smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, brother Yuhe, I like it very much."

Chu Yuhe was actually holding a clay figurine that looked like a rabbit in his other hand. He glanced around and didn't see the person he wanted to see, so he pretended to ask casually, "I heard that the third princess has a younger sister. Is it true?"

"Oh, you mean the fifth sister!" The third princess Li Danruo looked up at the sky. "At this hour, she should be following the governess to learn the rules!"

"I heard that she is only four years old and she has to learn the rules!" This time it was Chu Yuxuan who spoke, "Brother, the palace is really strict!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Chu Yuhe patted his brother. "The princess is a model of good manners. Her every move is noticed by others. Naturally, she has to learn more than us."

"But the third princess can play with us!" Chu Yuxuan pointed at Li Danruo in confusion.

"That's natural! I'm so smart! And I've already learned those simple etiquettes." Li Danruo was very proud, "Fifth sister is different. She didn't say anything before. She only started to learn many things after coming to my mother's palace."

"Can I go see her?" Chu Yuhe's expression was calm, but his heart was full of anticipation. "I'm already in the Queen's Palace, I have to meet another princess, otherwise it would be too rude."

Li Danruo thought about it and agreed, and took Chu Yuhe to Li Handan's room to learn etiquette.

Chu Yuxuan didn't want to go, so he followed another nanny to watch the fish by the pond.
