Chapter 73 Princess, save this monk!
"My lady, I know that after the Crown Princess passes away, Concubine Lu will be promoted to the principal wife.
"In this way, the second grandson born to Lu will become the legitimate son of the crown prince."
"The third grandson born to the Crown Princess will be isolated and helpless in the East Palace in the future."
"After this, Lu will deliberately spoil the third grandson and make him unloved by the emperor and the prince."
"Instead, he strictly disciplined his second grandson and sought a position above all others in the future."
Anaj was originally from the royal family of the previous dynasty and was well aware of the intricacies of the harem.
At this moment, she was listening to Shen Yuyao's story and felt a lot in her heart.
But now, the prince still harbors resentment towards her because of the arranged marriage.
On the wedding day, the prince simply carried Anajji into the East Palace in a sedan chair and did not consummate the marriage.
How could she help the third grandson?
Anaj was a little confused, but since the Crown Princess had really passed away, she believed that Shen Yuyao must be someone who could predict the future.
Anaji thought that since Shen Yuyao asked her for help, she would definitely be able to help in the future.
Seeing that Anajee didn't say anything, Shen Yuyao continued, "Your Majesty, I went to the East Palace at night today because I really wanted to help the Third Emperor's grandson live a peaceful life."
"Shen Yuyao boldly requested the Empress to obtain the right to raise the Third Prince from the Crown Prince when he was young."
"Wait until the third grandson is older, then tell him the truth, so as to avoid making the Lu family jealous and causing harm."
"If you encounter any emergency, you can go to Yong'an Palace and seek help from Concubine Li."
Shen Yuyao finished speaking in one breath. She couldn't see Anajee's expression in the darkness, but Shen Yuyao believed that Anajee would do her best.
Sometimes people are weird with each other.
With some people, you are together day and night, but you are always on guard against them; with some people, you can be trusted after only meeting them once.
After a long silence, Anaji finally said, "Since Lord Shen trusts me so much, I will do my best."
"As for the result..."
"I can only seek peace of mind!"
Anaj also understood from this moment that she would embark on the road of competing for favor in the harem, which she once hated so much.
The master of the East Palace is the prince. She can only live up to Shen Yuyao's trust by winning the prince's favor.
Although competing for favor in the harem is extremely difficult, it is still more interesting than dying in the cold palace.
What's more, Anaj has hundreds of thousands of women and children of the Yuan family behind her, and she also wants to provide them with a peaceful life!
"In that case, please accept Shen Yuyao's greetings, Your Majesty!"
Shen Yuyao clasped her fists and bowed to Anaj.
"Lord Shen..."
"Call me Yuyao."
"Okay, Yuyao, I hope to see you again."
"Most definitely!"
The two people in the darkness had hope in their hearts.
......
When Shen Yuyao returned to the farmhouse, it was already the evening of the next day.
However, Xia Yu did not come back.
In the farmhouse, Zi Su and Xia Xiaoxian were cooking dinner in the kitchen. Tang Wei had gone into the city to contact the escort agency and had not returned yet.
Shen Yuyao stood in front of the door.
A flock of wild geese flew northward, and the sky was filled with beautiful sunset glow.
The wisps of smoke from the farmers' houses in the village looked like strings holding the geese flying north. From a distance, it looked as if someone was flying a kite, which was extremely beautiful.
Who is Kite?
Who is the line?
In whose hands are these?
Shen Yuyao narrowed her eyes. At this moment, she felt a rare sense of comfort.
Shen Yuyao knew that it would be difficult to have a peaceful and quiet day like today again.
"Miss, it's time to eat." Zi Su waved at her with a smile.
Xia Xiaoxian held a steamed bun in her hand and waved it at her.
"Mother, eat some steamed buns."
Shen Yuyao nodded and walked over. She was too tired last night and hadn't eaten anything, so her stomach was already rumbling.
Food cooked with Perilla frutescens has never been as delicious as food cooked with Angelica dahurica.
There were a few steamed buns and a plate of scrambled eggs with vegetables on the table.
At this time, Shen Yuyao no longer disdainful, picked up the steamed bun, shook it towards Xia Xiaoxian, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Eat when you are hungry, it is delicious!
After dinner, it was already dark.
Xia Yu still hasn't come back.
Zi Su was busy cleaning the house, while Shen Yuyao took Xia Xiaoxian for a walk in the yard.
It is said to help the little princess digest her food.
Shen Yuyao's eyes were always looking at the door of the farmhouse.
Until it was completely dark.
She couldn't see anyone either.
Shen Yuyao felt a little puzzled. Why didn't Tang Wei and Xia Yu come back in time?
Allowing Shen Yuyao to leave the palace and return to Prince Ning's fiefdom was a special decree issued by the Queen Mother.
Before leaving, the Queen specifically told Shen Yuyao that she had sent a message to Prince Ning, who would rush to the border of Yanjing to meet her as soon as possible.
Finally, he did not forget to instruct Shen Yuyao to give birth to another child for the royal family as soon as possible.
Have another child?
Shen Yuyao really never thought that now she and Xia Yu were more like two grasshoppers tied together by fate.
We share honor and disgrace, but are separated in heart.
Shen Yuyao thought of Tang Wei again.
That day when Shen Yuyao left the palace, Tang Wei was waiting for her at the palace gate with the emperor's secret order.
The emperor asked Tang Wei to escort Shen Yuyao to Yanjing, and asked Tang Wei to bring the Black Dragon Guard's special envoy token and the Black Dragon Guard's python robe to Shen Yuyao.
The token is engraved with: As if I were here in person.
Embroidered on the dragon robe are five-clawed dragon patterns.
The emperor's oral instruction to Shen Yuyao was to supervise the officials of the prefectures along the way. Tang Wei was the messenger between the emperor and Shen Yuyao.
Shen Yuyao began to feel uneasy.
Xia Xiaoxian lay on the table and said, "Mom, don't be afraid."
Shen Yuyao nodded and asked with a smile: "Mother has a little fairy treasure, how can she be afraid?"
Zi Su teased Xia Xiaoxian, "Little Princess, have you ever been afraid?"
Xia Xiaoxian tilted her head and thought for a while before she said seriously, "Xiaoxian didn't have it before, but now I have it!"
Shen Yuyao listened and found it interesting and asked, "What is the little fairy afraid of?"
Xia Xiaoxian: "Xiaoxian is afraid of losing her mother."
Shen Yuyao listened so much that her eyes turned red and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
......
Shen Yuyao did not sleep well all night. She fell asleep only in the morning and it was already bright when she woke up.
The sun is shining today and the whole farmhouse seems to be shining.
Shen Yuyao didn't see Xia Xiaoxian.
Shiso is in the yard, drying quilts.
As soon as Zi Su saw Shen Yuyao, she smiled and said, "Princess Xiaoxian wet the bed again last night."
Shen Yuyao asked: "Xiaoxian, where did she go?"
"In the morning, Lord Tang came back, and Princess Xiaoxian pestered him to pick some wild flowers."
Zi Su said, "Miss, there is rice in the pot, I will bring it to you."
"Let's have lunch together. Is the prince back?" Shen Yuyao asked.
Zi Su had already turned around and walked towards the kitchen, "The prince has not come back yet, Miss, you must try the steamed buns that I made this morning."
Shen Yuyao nodded, then turned and looked outside the yard.
This turn of head gave Shen Yuyao a fright.
Prince Ning Xia Yu was carrying a monk on his back. He walked into the yard and shouted, "Princess, help!"
