The Grand Princess is a bit older than Emperor Jianping, but she has no worries in her daily life. She takes good care of herself and looks much younger than Emperor Jianping.
Seeing her daughter and granddaughter come to greet her, Grand Princess was moved and touched.
"I have so many attendants around me, and your father is here too. Why do you two need to come and personally greet me?"
Saying that, she affectionately pinched Lilith Jin's cheek, "You even brought my precious little darling here!"
Precious little darling?
Lilith Jin's ears turned a bit red upon hearing that.
The Eldest Princess said, "It's our daughter's fault."
"Grandmother, don't blame Mother. I'm in good health. It was just to amuse the palace earlier," Lilith Jin said.
Grand Princess said confidently, "Now that I'm back in the capital, the Emperor must give you an explanation. No one can bully my precious granddaughter and get away with it!"
When the Prince sought her hand in marriage, he had made solemn vows.
Now that he had broken those vows, the price must be paid one by one.
She then scolded the Eldest Princess with a glare, "Given what happened, I can't believe you and Ethan Gu could resist going to the Eastern Palace to confront someone. That's not what your father and I expected."
The Eldest Princess: "..."
Lilith Jin: "..."
The mother and daughter fell silent for a moment, and Lilith Jin quickly changed the subject with Grand Princess.
From the perspective of "father-in-law and mother-in-law," if the son-in-law made a mistake, they naturally wanted to deal with it as they pleased!
However, the Crown Prince was still the Crown Prince, representing the royal family. If they rushed to the Eastern Palace and beat someone up, it was likely that within an hour, the desk of Emperor Jianping would be filled with impeachment memorials from the Prime Minister's mansion. By then, charges like rebellion, treason, and collaboration with the enemy would be pinned on the Gu family, and even Duke Dingguo and Grand Princess , who were considered influential, would not escape.
...
When Ryan Xie and his group arrived at the city gate, they could already see someone standing on the city tower from afar.
"Your Highness, it's the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince," Eunuch Hai whispered.
Ryan Xie continued on his way, ignoring them.
Eunuch Hai said, "Shouldn't we go up and greet them? The Eastern Palace is currently restricted, and the Noble Consort's faction is gaining power. The Third Prince has a difficult temperament..."
"No need, they don't regard me highly anyway," Ryan Xie said.
Eunuch Hai was taken aback and sighed silently.
On the city tower.
The Third Prince, Xie Yao, looked displeased as he watched Ryan Xie, muttering, "Why is this Seventh Brother so stubborn, even in his dire straits?"
Consort Xiang died due to witchcraft, and her unfortunate son, the Seventh Prince, had never been favored since birth. If it weren't for his accidental rescue of the Emperor during a hunting trip three years ago, he might still be in the Cold Palace now.
Unfortunately, someone with such a personality, single-minded and unyielding, didn't know how to adapt. Otherwise, whether he pledged allegiance to the Crown Prince or bowed down to him, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation today.
The Fifth Prince, Xie Wu, seemed not to have caught the meaning behind the Third Prince's words. He spoke objectively, "Seventh Brother has always been solitary and aloof since childhood, quiet and reserved. I'm afraid he can't change now."
The Third Prince sneered, "Is that so? From my perspective, he's just not pushed to the limit yet. When he reaches that point, we'll see if he remains stubborn or if he finally bends!"
The Fifth Prince was about to reply but suddenly choked on the cold wind and started coughing violently.
The Third Prince, who had intended to hear some reassuring words from him, moved two steps away in precaution, seeming afraid of catching his illness. He said disdainfully, "Fifth Brother, you should take better care of your health. Don't end up like Seventh Brother, who can't even lift a finger. It's inauspicious!"
The Fifth Prince lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."
