Chapter 278 Yaliqi's good days are over
While Prince Min's Mansion was bustling with activity, Yinzhen was dizzy with anger at Prince Yong's Mansion after receiving the news that his daughter had caused a disturbance at Prince Min's Mansion and had been specially sent back by Princess Jingyi.
He just couldn't understand how his daughter, who used to be cute and considerate, could suddenly change into this. Prince Yong's Mansion had never lacked her. Even before Jingya was born, she was the only daughter of Prince Yong's Mansion and was treated better than some of the legitimate daughters in other mansions.
The Fourth Master had no idea that it was because of Jingya's birth and the attitude of others towards Jingya that Yaliqi became jealous and wanted to find a dragon and phoenix among the best to marry and escape from the sad place of Prince Yong's Mansion.
Even if the Fourth Master knew about this, he would probably be even more heartbroken, but he still agreed with Jingyi's suggestion. Apart from anything else, if Jingyi hadn't intervened, the entire Prince Yong's mansion would have been in disgrace, and it might even affect the marriages of several young princes and princesses in the mansion.
Therefore, when Yinzhen saw Yaliqi, he had only one thought in mind: he must immediately confine her to her own courtyard. He had already decided that once the nanny arrived, he would leave the entire task of educating Yaliqi to her care. Yinzhen knew he couldn't let this precious opportunity slip away due to a momentary weakness. After all, the child was growing up, and if he didn't properly guide and teach her now, it would probably be too late later.
However, Yaliqi was completely unaware of the severity of her situation. Upon seeing her father, she was as if she had found a lifeline, and she cried out in joy, "Father, Father, please save my daughter! The princess is wrongly accusing me for no reason. I don't need a nanny, and I don't want to be locked up in this small courtyard forever! Besides, the princess is only my cousin. What right does she have to control me?"
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's forehead twitched involuntarily, clearly furious. His eyes widened as he shouted, "Shut up! Look at you now! Where's the demeanor and manners of a royal lady? Is this what you call etiquette?"
Don't forget, you are just a prince's illegitimate daughter. How dare you act so recklessly and ignorantly here and speak wildly and criticize the princess! Moreover, with the princess's extremely noble status, how can a little girl like you be able to casually discuss her?
Yaliqi was frightened by her father's serious expression and her heart trembled. She stared at the Fourth Master in disbelief, who was always so kind to her.
Before this, no matter how angry Ama was, as soon as she appeared, Ama would immediately put away his anger and replace it with a gentle and kind smile to greet her. However, at this moment, Ama seemed to be a completely different person. His cold gaze made Yaliqi feel extremely unfamiliar and frightened.
She knew that the mistake she had made this time must be serious, so much so that even her father, who always doted on her, was so angry. Therefore, Yaliqi no longer dared to resist, and could only let the servants lead her back to her own courtyard like a docile little lamb.
The Fourth Master looked at his daughter's departing back, shook his head helplessly, and then reached out to gently rub his swollen forehead. Then, he turned his gaze to the palace maid who had just brought Yaliqi back, and asked in a low and slightly tired voice, "What did the princess say?"
Upon hearing this, the palace maid quickly squatted down respectfully and bowed to the Fourth Master. She then replied cautiously, "Your Highness, our princess said that after returning to the palace, she will personally go to the Empress to ask for two stricter nurses to be sent over.
At that time, these two maids will be responsible for teaching Gege etiquette and other matters, and will regularly report progress to you and the princess. However... the princess also said that if after two years of careful training, she still can't correct Gege's temper, then she is afraid there is nothing she can do!
After hearing the maid's words, the Fourth Master felt a sharp pain in his head. He thought to himself: If even the clever and resourceful Princess Jingyi finds this matter so difficult, then it proves that his daughter's stubborn and willful temper has indeed reached a point where it is difficult to control!
So what kind of suitable marriage should he find for her next? Thinking of this, the Fourth Master couldn't help but fall into deep distress.
After sending the palace maid away, the Fourth Master returned to his study alone and quietly picked up his pen to practice calligraphy. He was in a bad mood today and urgently needed to practice calligraphy to relax.
In the evening, the sun set, its afterglow streaming through the window lattices onto Fengwu Palace. Princess Jingyi and Buerhe sat opposite each other, exquisite tea sets placed before them. They leisurely savored their fragrant tea while discussing the events of the day.
As for the two maids who were responsible for teaching etiquette, they were quietly sent to Prince Yong's Mansion as soon as they returned to the palace.
Buerhe took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and asked, "What do you think of the noble ladies who came today? Is there any one who is suitable for our Yuanshou?"
Jingyi frowned slightly, thought seriously for a moment, then nodded gently and said, "If we consider only Cousin Yuanshou's personality, there are several suitable candidates for him. For example, the Nara family is gentle and generous; there is the Majia family, who is lively and cheerful; and then there are the Hesheli and Fucha families, who are also well-educated and well-mannered. However, when I think about the fact that Cousin will eventually have to return to Khalkha, the number of truly suitable candidates is much smaller. In my opinion, I am afraid that the only suitable candidates left are the Niuhulu and Fucha families."
After listening to Jingyi's analysis, Buerhe nodded with satisfaction, agreeing with her opinion. However, a hint of doubt flashed across his face as he asked, "But that Nara clan is from the Yehenara clan? Why would Yaliqi confront her today?"
Mentioning this, Jingyi couldn't help but reveal a face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She sighed softly and said, "Alas, it's because Yaliqi recognized the wrong person! She mistook that Nara for our cousin and was determined that Nara was the only one to become Yuanshou's wife this time."
After hearing this embarrassed expression, Buerhe didn't know what to do. Among the daughters of this generation of the Ulanara family, except for Minyan, the oldest one was only eight years old. No matter how much she favored her own family, she would not find such a young wife for Yuanshou!
However, now she has no objection to sending her daughter to a nanny. That girl Yaliqi rashly offended people without even getting enough information. It is not known whether she has a strange way of thinking or was just confused at the time.
But it shouldn't be like this. Fourth brother's wife is not the kind of person who looks kind but has a bad heart. Yaliqi should have learned everything she should learn!
Seeing her mother's confusion, Jingyi muttered quietly, "Fourth Aunt has hired someone to teach her, but the problem is that Yaliqi doesn't want to learn and is always making a fuss, using illness as an excuse to avoid learning."
Buerhe...Okay, a concubine's daughter who is seeking death like this can only be the fourth brother's wife. If she was born in the homes of the other brothers, she would definitely not live to adulthood.
Buerhe: "Fucha? Is she the same Fucha from the same family as your twelfth aunt?"
Jingyi nodded: "Mother has a good memory, yes, not only are they from the same family, this Fucha Gege is also the niece of Aunt Twelve."
Buerhe said, "Then this princess' name can be crossed out. Your father really dislikes Ma Qi, and by extension, he doesn't like the girls from the Fucha family. If your mother really finds Yuanshou a Fucha-sister, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to Yuanshou."
Jingyi thought about her father's personality, nodded, picked up the pen and crossed out Fucha.
