Chapter 107 Is there any mother like her?
"You mean, the Queen Mother also agreed with His Majesty's decision? How is that possible? Pingle is the Queen Mother's most beloved granddaughter."
Princess Shun shook her head slightly, her eyes full of sarcasm.
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother naturally loves Pingle, but Your Majesty is the ruler of a country after all, and the Queen Mother cannot ignore Your Majesty's authority. However, although Pingle's incident this time was a bit excessive, Your Majesty is so angry. Could it be that Your Majesty has found out something? After all, Pingle is the only child in our house! Your Majesty shouldn't be so cruel?"
Prince Shun was silent, he knew that what Princess Shun said made sense.
Could it be that Pingle really did something and was discovered by His Majesty?
He knew that His Majesty had placed secret guards in every palace.
But, apart from the incident with Ye Wenbo, which was a bit excessive, Pingle shouldn't have done anything else out of the ordinary, right?
"So what should we do now? Are we just going to watch Pingle being treated like this by His Majesty?"
There was a flash of calculation in Princess Shun's eyes.
"Your Majesty, we can't act rashly now. His Majesty's order has been issued. If we forcibly disobey it, it will only make things worse. Right now, the princess's marriage is the top priority. Once she gets married, these current rumors will be dispelled."
Prince Shun nodded helplessly.
"That's the only way. But when I think of Pingle's miserable state now, I feel really distressed!"
snort!
Princess Shun sneered in her heart, wiped the unnecessary tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said distressedly,
"Who says it's not true? This child has been arrogant since she was young. Now she looks so haggard and not in good health. As her mother, although I am not her biological mother, I feel really bad for her. However, I am not her biological mother after all, so there are some things that she is not easy to tell me."
Biological mother?
When Prince Shun heard this, he immediately exploded. Yes, as the princess's biological mother, she was still worried about Pingle's health every day.
Pingle has never respected the princess, but the princess still worries about him every day.
On the other hand, Wen, Pingle's biological mother, sent someone to report her illness to the princess since Pingle had that incident, and she has never been seen since then.
Is there any mother like her?
If it weren't for her attractive appearance and pleasant personality, he would have been coaxed into going away by her and not registered Pingle as the princess. Thinking about it now, he really regrets it!
If Pingle was registered under the name of the princess, this kind of thing would never happen now.
"Someone, go get Madam Wen. What has she been busy with all day? Such a big incident happened in the mansion, and she is nowhere to be seen. If she is really sick, bring her here."
When Princess Shun saw that her goal had been achieved, her eyes flickered slightly. Seeing that Prince Shun was very angry, she personally served the tea to him.
"Your Highness, calm down. Concubine Wen is weak, so please don't get angry with her. It would be fine if it was any other day, but now, I'm afraid that her biological mother will have to comfort Ping Le more. The wedding next month must be held as scheduled no matter what. Otherwise, I'm afraid our family will really have to stay in the capital..."
Princess Shun didn't finish her words, but Prince Shun still understood. Yes, Pingle's reputation has been completely ruined now. If the marriage fails, Prince Shun's Mansion will probably become a complete laughing stock.
He has no other children, so in the future he will have to adopt or rely on Pingle's children.
Thinking of this, Prince Shun looked at Princess Shun with even more respect.
"Princess, thank you for your hard work over the years. I was confused at the beginning. If Pingle had been born, I would have raised her in your arms. She would not be like this now."
Seeing Prince Shun looking regretful, Princess Shun did not feel moved, but felt a little nauseous instead.
Stop disgusting yourself.
She really thought that Murong Jin was a popular commodity. At the beginning, she did not object to Prince Shun's suggestion to register Murong Jin under her name, but she did not really want her to be his daughter.
It was purely to make Concubine Wen unhappy.
This way she wouldn't have to show off her big belly in front of him all day long.
As a country girl, she actually tried to humiliate herself, the principal wife, by taking advantage of Prince Shun's favor.
But now, thinking back on what Prince Shun did back then, she really had to thank the prince for his partiality.
Being her stepmother was embarrassing enough now, and if she had been recorded under her name, she was afraid she would have been pissed off to death.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. No matter what, Pingle is my daughter, and it is my duty to worry about her. Your Highness, please don't mention the past anymore."
Princess Shun spoke gently, but there was a barely perceptible coldness in her eyes.
Prince Shun looked at Princess Shun with a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that Princess Shun had contributed a lot to the Shun Palace over the years, but he had neglected her because of some trivial matters.
Now, at this critical moment, he was deeply relieved by Princess Shun's magnanimity and calmness.
"Princess, don't worry. I will definitely treat you well in the future. You will still have to take care of Pingle's affairs in the future. The Wen family is not up to standard, so you will have to work harder."
Princess Shun nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, our top priority now is to get Pingle back to health as soon as possible. As for Ye Wenbo, I'm sure he won't dare to break off the engagement. This marriage must go smoothly."
Prince Shun frowned.
"That loser, if Ping Le hadn't insisted on having his own way, how could she have given herself to him? He even dared to despise Ping Le. Is he really going to die?"
"My Lord, look at your temper..."
Just as Prince Shun and Princess Shun were discussing their wedding next month, Concubine Wen slowly walked into the room.
Wen's face was pale, and she really looked like a sick beauty. However, that appearance could deceive Prince Shun, but not Princess Shun.
Others may not know, but Princess Shun knows clearly that Wen's current state is probably caused by fear.
Wen had tears in her eyes and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. "I am here to see you, my Lord and my Lady."
Her voice was so weak that it seemed as if she would fall down if the wind blew.
Seeing this, Prince Shun could not bear to criticize him any more, but his tone was still unfriendly.
"Sit down."
Wen sat down as she was told. She turned her eyes to Princess Shun, then to Prince Shun, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she was very afraid of the princess.
Princess Shun couldn't stand her behavior, and of course she didn't indulge her at the moment, so she asked in a gentle voice,
"Have you asked a doctor to check my sister's illness? We have been busy lately and I can't take care of my sister. If the doctor's prescription doesn't work, why not ask the imperial physician to come in and take a look."
Princess Shun's concern seemed genuine, and Prince Shun nodded slightly, agreeing with her words.
The look he gave Concubine Wen became more and more impatient.
The princess is in charge of the household expenses in the mansion. There are many things to do in the etiquette of palace communication. If Wen was not feeling well, she could have come directly to the princess or herself. Why did she have to act so aggrieved? Who was she trying to show off to?
Concubine Wen was stunned. Now that the princess had said this, how could she complain to the prince?
She naturally noticed that the prince's expression had completely changed because of the princess' words.
I had wanted to take this opportunity to blame Pingle's current plight on the princess. Who had made her bring Pingle to the banquet and cause such a scandal?
