Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs
Chapter 256 Raising My Own Crown Princess
Xizhou is a notoriously remote and harsh place, and few officials are willing to take up the post.
At the time, Li Dongnan knew that the emperor was preparing a list of those to be sent to other provinces, and he was not on it.
"When you were one year old, you tried to steal the little princess's phoenix pendant. This is your punishment."
Before he could even touch the jade pendant, he had already spent eight years in the harsh, cold lands to repay it.
Now that he dares to insult Princess Jun, he fears he might lose his official position!
She was a precious consort who was pampered by the Empress and the Crown Prince, and was often rewarded by the Emperor.
The Li family cannot bear the charge of disrespecting imperial authority!
When we were young, we could use ignorance as an excuse to get away with things, but what about now?
After hearing this, Deng Huayi felt like she was about to faint.
Unfortunately, she couldn't afford to faint; she had to pull herself together and resolve the matter.
"Go, immediately submit the petition to the palace. I will take this wretched girl to see the Empress and apologize. You, sir, go see His Highness the Crown Prince."
As Deng Huayi spoke, she grabbed Li Shushu from the ground and pulled her outside.
"No, I won't go, Mother, I won't go!"
She just scolded the young princess today; wouldn't going to the palace be suicide?
"Walk!"
"Where are you taking my granddaughter?"
A stern voice rang out, and Li Shushu's eyes lit up as she struggled.
"Grandma, save me!"
She pushed Deng Huayi aside and ran behind Madam Wang to hide.
Staggered by the push, Deng Huayi felt only endless chill in her heart.
This daughter of hers can even push and shove her own mother.
She even nearly pushed her youngest son, Li Shumo, into the pool.
What would happen if a three-year-old child fell into icy water in the dead of winter?
This daughter is hopeless.
Unfilial and disrespectful to elders, with a wicked heart.
"Shushu, don't be afraid, Grandma is here."
Madam Wang offered a soft word of comfort, then looked up at her daughter and son-in-law, her face full of dissatisfaction.
"Shushu is still young, and she doesn't know that she is a little princess. She just cursed, what's the big deal?"
She was called a precious young princess, but in reality, she was just a bastard whose identity was unknown.
The words of the old couple Wang successfully caused the Li couple in the ancestral hall to change their expressions drastically.
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Deng Huayi was practically going crazy.
Her daughter must have learned her mother's ways, otherwise how could she be so similar?
……
The Imperial Palace.
Xi Yao had just come out of Fengwu Palace.
The Empress summoned her because spring was approaching and new clothes needed to be made; she wanted Xi Yao to choose the style.
[Host, the Ye family is preparing to annul the engagement.]
The 996 work schedule is a source of schadenfreude.
Upon hearing this, Xi Yao's lips curled up.
"It seems this afternoon's scene was quite exciting; even the Ye family couldn't hold back any longer."
Given Li Shushu's appearance, it was only a matter of time before her engagement was broken off.
The reason it's been delayed until now is probably because of the relationship between Zhou Qianya and Deng Huayi.
In this era, all prominent families placed great importance on etiquette and rules.
Li Shushu's behavior is something no respectable family could accept.
Despite receiving a good upbringing in the Li family, he still can't change his nature and has no brains.
It can only be said that Madam Wang's genes are too strong.
[By the way, host, the Li family submitted a petition to the palace, wanting to apologize to you, but it was stopped by the big boss.]
[Furthermore, Old Madam Wang actually dared to call the host a bastard!]
996 is quite angry; anyone who criticizes its host is a bad person.
Xi Yao sneered, "Everyone's here, it's time to begin."
These past few years, Madam Wang has been living a life of great happiness.
Lin Zhiwen's official position is getting higher and higher, and Li Dongnan's position is also about to be promoted.
In addition, the youngest daughter was actually engaged to the young master of the Duke's mansion.
Her tail was practically sticking up to the sky.
If everything falls apart, Old Madam Wang's face will surely look very good.
[Host, what are you planning to do?]
The host is finally going to make his move, and 996 is even happier than Xi Yao herself.
"Of course... let Lin Zhiwen know first that he has a daughter."
After Madam Wang did that, she probably felt guilty and didn't take any further action.
Lin Zhiwen then put the matter out of his mind.
He and Deng Shiqing had a son.
However, because Deng Shiqing's body was damaged during her first pregnancy, she was unable to conceive again.
Lin Zhiwen was unwilling to accept that his only son took his wife's surname.
The Lin family line cannot end.
However, as a son-in-law living with his wife's family, he couldn't openly take a concubine to protect his precarious reputation.
So, following the example of others, Lin Zhiwen began to keep a mistress.
He has kept three mistresses and now has three sons.
Xi Yao returned to her bedroom and made a copy of a piece of paper.
"Orchid fragrance".
Lanxiang pushed open the door and entered.
"Young Princess, your servant is here."
Xi Yao handed her the note, "Send this to Lin Zhiwen at the Deng residence quietly, and don't tell your brother."
"Yes, Princess."
Lanxiang left.
[Host, Lanxiang is the boss's person. How could you ask her to deliver it without telling the boss?]
"You don't understand."
Xi Yao poured herself a glass of water.
"If I say I won't tell Huaijin, Lanxiang won't tell."
She had always known this.
Because Ji Wangshu himself had given Lanxiang orders back then.
Moreover, Xi Yao didn't think it was a big deal, and it wouldn't matter even if Ji Wangshu found out later.
After the morning court session the next day.
The Eastern Palace Study.
Ji Wangshu sat expressionlessly behind his desk, the ink brush in his hand making a soft scratching sound.
Li Dongnan knelt silently below, his face deathly pale, beads of cold sweat sliding down his temples.
Ye Mingxin, who was sorting through the memorials, glanced down and sighed inwardly.
After a long pause, he smiled and spoke to ease the tension:
"Your Highness, it's already this late. The young princess must be awake by now. Would you like to have dinner with her first? By the time Your Highness returns, I will have finished sorting the folded paper."
At this moment, only Ye Mingxin, who was reading to the students, dared to speak.
Ji Wangshu paused, "Hmm, Yao Yao should wake up."
He got up and left without even glancing at the person on the ground.
The oppressive atmosphere vanished, and Li Dongnan collapsed to the ground.
He raised his hand, trembling, to wipe away the cold sweat.
"Thank you for helping me out, Young Master Ye."
His Highness's imperial authority is growing stronger and stronger; most people simply cannot withstand it.
It is said that His Majesty is already drafting the abdication edict, and His Highness's ascension to the throne will not be far off.
"Rise, Lord Li."
Ye Mingxin put down the folding book in his hand, went down and helped the person up to sit down on a pear wood chair.
Then she poured him a cup of hot tea. "Quench your thirst first. His Highness is having a meal with the young princess and won't be back for a while."
After drinking a cup of hot water, Li Dongnan felt like he had come back to life.
He put down his teacup and looked at Ye Mingxin with a guilty expression.
"It is my fault for not raising my daughter properly. With a personality like Shushu's, she is not fit to marry into the Duke's mansion. In a few days, I will bring the tokens to break off the engagement."
The hardest hurdle now is getting past the Empress and the Crown Prince in the palace.
He knew that in the end he would still have to trouble the Duke's mansion.
Because Deng Huayi had no other choice, she went to Zhou Qianya for help. At that time, she was with Li Shushu at the Empress's Fengwu Palace to apologize.
