The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 252 Encouraging My Mother to Pursue True Love 4

The eldest prince was at the door, holding a military book in his hand, and kindly answered him:

"This is what Father meant. There are too many things in your room that don't conform to the rules. In order to prevent you from being punished again, all those things have been taken away."

He glanced at the military manual, then thought of what his father had said. He tried to suppress the gloating in his eyes and said seriously, "As your elder brother, I naturally have to help you control your morals. You should rest well and recuperate. If you do anything wrong in the future, I will still help you point it out."

The fifth prince couldn't help but pick up something nearby and threw it at him: "Get out!"

The eldest prince dodged and laughed, "Look at you, anger is harmful to your health. You have been punished but you still haven't learned your lesson. Alas, you are incorrigible."

He shook his head like an old scholar, picked up the military book and pretended to read it while returning to his room.

The Fifth Prince had never suffered such humiliation in his life. He became extremely annoyed when he saw the palace maid who was making his bed. He picked up the jade pillow and smashed it on the maid's head, causing large flowers of blood to splatter in an instant.

"Why, why aren't you just standing here? Do you believe I can tear your head off?!"

The palace maid covered her head and retreated in a hurry.

In the evening, the eunuch beside Ji Yanli came again to convey an oral order, confining the Fifth Prince to his feet, asking him to reflect on his actions in the room and not to go to the study room for the time being.

Concubine Shu went to Ji Yanli with pigeon soup, wanting to plead for her son, and she didn't even enter the Panlong Palace.

"Your Majesty, please go back. The Imperial Concubine just sent the Emperor some carrot and crucian carp soup, and he's enjoying it."

Concubine Shu bit her lip and for the first time forced a smile at the eunuch beside the emperor, "I have something important to discuss with the emperor. I'd like to trouble you to make another trip."

"The Emperor said that if it's about the Fifth Prince, Your Majesty, please go back. The Fifth Prince is disrespectful to his brother, has no manners, and is lacking in moral character. No one can stop him."

"The emperor has made a mistake and deserves to be punished. I am here because of the Third Princess. I want to discuss her marriage with the Virtuous Prince with the Emperor."

This time, Ji Yanli let her in.

He was dizzy from reviewing memorials, so he decided to have some fun.

After Concubine Shu came in, she tried to bow politely, but her movements were slow, and she was obviously waiting for Ji Yanli to speak.

Ji Yanli folded his hands and watched calmly, until she performed the ceremony firmly and her bent legs began to tremble, then he reluctantly said: "Alright, get up."

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has checked the date and Cheng'er's wedding will be held next month. You should prepare well for her and teach her the proper etiquette. I hope she and the virtuous king will live in harmony after their marriage."

As soon as Concubine Shu stood up, she felt a stab in the heart.

"Your Majesty," she forced a smile, "Cheng'er is still young. I want to keep her for a few more years. Why are you so anxious?"

"She's not young anymore. The eldest princess is also someone who will marry at her age. Besides, she and the virtuous king have feelings for each other, so we can't force her to stay. Otherwise, if she stays, they will become enemies, which will destroy our relationship with Cheng'er."

Concubine Shu could no longer smile. She felt bitter in her mouth and her eyes were hot. If it weren't for the inappropriate time and place, she really wanted to have a good cry.

Wise King, that is obviously the man she loves!

But now, she has to personally arrange his marriage with her daughter.

It's so painful, it would be better to really give Cheng'er to the imperial concubine, so that she can feel at ease.

"Speaking of which, among all my children, yours is the most troublesome."

Ji Yanli continued stabbing, "Luckily, one of them is getting married, and the other is under house arrest by me. Out of sight, out of mind. Tell them not to come out unless necessary. It annoys me to see them."

"How can the emperor say that?" Concubine Shu's eyes instantly turned red. "You know how much Xuan'er admires his father. If you say that, won't you hurt Xuan'er's heart?"

"Xuan'er is also angry. As his elder brother, the eldest prince always focuses on his mistakes. He is still young, so it is normal for him to be a little impulsive."

The fifth prince's name is Ji Lingxuan. She only mentioned Xuan'er and not Cheng'er. It was obvious that she was still angry with Ji Qiancheng.

Ji Yanli was heartbroken: "Wrong is wrong. As their mother, you not only did not help them correct their mistakes, but instead showed partiality out of selfishness. I am truly disappointed."

Concubine Shu could no longer hold back her tears. She took a few steps forward and tried to grab Ji Yanli's sleeve. In the past, whenever she showed this vulnerable expression, the emperor would soften his heart.

But this time she miscalculated.

"Come here, Concubine Shu has not been strict in educating her son. She is stripped of her title, demoted to a concubine, and dragged out."

As he spoke the last part, everyone present could feel the impatience towards Concubine Shu in his tone.

The people in the palace once again clearly realized that the situation in the harem was about to change and Concubine Shu's favor might no longer be there.

Not only did the Fifth Prince use many things that were beyond his status as a prince, but the Concubine Shu's palace also had them. So she was demoted to a concubine, and everything in the palace had to be replaced, and everything that needed to be cleared away was cleared away.

The Imperial Household Department has always been extremely respectful to Concubine Shu. They act according to the emperor's mood and are very good at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Concubine Shu didn't think it was a big deal in the past, but now that she is the one being stepped on, she can't stand it anymore.

"Your Majesty, we are doing what you ordered. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Shufei's face turned pale and blue. All the things she used every day were taken away, and the servants looked at her in a subtle way, which made her almost bite her teeth.

"Eunuch, the Emperor and I have always had a good relationship. The Emperor is temporarily angry with me because of the Fifth Prince. Are you sure you want to act accordingly and embarrass me?"

The people from the Imperial Household Department hesitated when they heard this.

However, another imperial decree came, demoting the concubine to the third rank.

The sneer on the man's face appeared again.

"Your Majesty... Oh no, Liu Xiurong, please move aside and don't hinder us from doing our job."

Shufei's real name was Liu Huaner.

She stood there woodenly, all the color gone from her face.

Ji Qiancheng rushed over, tears still on her face, grabbed Liu Huaner's clothes, and started questioning:

"Mother, what did you do? Why would Father demote you? What on earth did you do?"

Liu Huan'er's eyes moved and she slapped her in the face.

Seeing Ji Qiancheng falling to the ground with his hands covering his face, she actually felt happy.

All the changes began when this daughter entered the palace with a letter from the virtuous king. Her transcendent status in the harem was broken, the emperor was punished, and she was demoted.

Too much happened that day and she desperately needed an outlet.

And Ji Qiancheng is the punching bag that is right at hand.

Liu Huan'er moved from Qinghe Palace to the side hall of Guanju Palace. She listened to the laughter from the main hall and stayed awake until dawn.

Then she struggled to get up from the bed and ordered in a hoarse voice: "Dress up for me, I want to go find the emperor."

She changed into the emperor's favorite light blue dress, put on a little makeup, outlined her slender waist, and walked out in a graceful manner.

She finally understood that her situation depended entirely on the emperor's attitude towards her. When she was in a difficult situation, the girlish feelings in her heart were not worth mentioning at all.

Let her bury her love deep in her heart and carve out a smooth path for herself and her children in the harem.
