Chapter 56:

Unfortunately, the empress underestimated the destructive power of her daughter.

When she heard the imperial secretarys report for the third time, saying that Princess Linglong had smashed Chen Feis whole palace, and Chen Fei was kneeling outside and complaining, her head hurt.

Her once well-behaved and sensible daughter has smashed three palaces this month, and the whole harem is now spreading rumors, saying that Princess Linglong is crazy, has become a harem bully, and has a quirk of smashing things apart on sight.

She didnt understand why Linglong was not only unhappy to hear her words about finding a father for her, but also questioned her further.

Mother Emperor, do you know what kind of life my father is living outside?

Yes, of course she knows. He is living so happily and so carefree!

Have you ever seen my father with your own eyes?

She has seen it, she has seen it with her own eyes, and she was not happy about it!

Have you ever thought of your old feelings?

Yes, of course she has. But he has forgotten! She was not allowed to do so.

Mother, say something!

Say what? What do you mean? That she went to see the abandoned husband in the middle of the night only to be scolded and kicked out? What a shame! If she said that, she really should not be the Empress!

So, with a cold and a serious face.

Tomorrow, you will move to the Yang Concubines palace!

She flicked her sleeves and left, seething in anger. That guy, even after she did so much to see him, didnt give her face and even told her how to say in front of her daughter? She can only take care of her daughter who doesnt hurt her and doesnt see him go to pot.

At first, Concubine Yang came over every day to gracefully report to her about Linglongs daily activities. Then it became once every three days, and every time, he appeared with a bitter face. Finally, news was reported to her by the imperial secretary that Concubine Yang was beaten up and Linglong was on a hunger strike.

Humph, it must be Yang Feis bad, she thought. How could her good daughter have problems? Even Yuyang, that coarse man, can teach his daughter to be gentle and lovely. She did not believe that these famous noble sons cannot do what that fisherman did.

Next, she sent Linglong to stay with Concubine Zhen, who was famous for his gentleness and gracefulness in the palace, although he had not been in good health. As a result, Concubine Zhen, who was well taken care of for the past few years and had not fainted in years, fainted three times in a row.

Then, she could only think of Concubine Chen, who was in good health and was born into a family of generals. Surely he could handle it? Yet, Linglong merely stopped beating people and changed to destroying things. Concubine Chen didnt have a lot of belongings, but any that he had was smashed to pieces. As princess, Linglong could ask for the items to be replenished. Unfortunately, with her destroying items so frequently, even if she is the Princess, the palaces private collection wouldnt last.

Now, the Empress stared at Linglong, who stood expressionlessly opposite her, and kept reminding herself that this baby was born by herself, and that she was the Empress, and this was her princess.

She no longer has Yu Yang, has lost one daughter, but she doesnt want to lose her last family. If she listened to the people of the court, wouldnt she just become their puppet in this life? Cant she do something she wanted to do?

Linglong, write two more of these words. Mingyue frowned as she looked at the calligraphy that Linglong was writing casually, feeling helpless. These characters, Linglong had already been taught to write very well since she was five, but now, she was writing it like Like dog scratches

Mother Empress should know that no matter how many times she writes now, Linglong can no longer write like she did before, said Linglong expressionlessly as she picked up the brush mechanically to write. Writing is about peace of mind, and since the mood of the writer is unstable, there is no way to write any good words. In addition, Linglong was deliberately trying to oppose the empress, and the Empress was dying of anger. However, Linglongs writing only became worse and worse, so she didnt dare to say anything further. The more the Empress spoke, the uglier her daughter writes.

Thats it, I dont want to write anymore. I want to play the piano. The Empress gave up asking Linglong to write. She remembers that in the past, Linglong liked playing the piano the most, and she would compose music in her free time, gaining fame in the capital. Doing what she likes, the Empress cant say no, right? Suddenly, a harsh sound pierced Mingyues ears.

Next, they played chess. No matter what move the Empress made, Linglong was merely inattentive. In the end, Mingyue was about to win, but she let Linglong win once. Thats all, you should go back and rest, and wait until you feel better tomorrow. There was no point in forcing Linglong to continue, so she simply let Linglong go back to rest.

Later that night, she summoned Grandfather Chen.

What does the Empress need?

Other than Young Master Yuyang, the person Linglong listens to the most is her grandfather, and Mingyue had no choice but to ask help from him.

..

Chen remained prostrate on the ground, afraid to speak any further. What could he say? The princess and the Empress, mother and daughter, were on opposite sides. As the princess grandfather and the Empress father, he could only watch. What else can he do? What if he accidentally annoys the Empress? Nowadays, it was only Grandfather Chen who has been helping Linglong all the time. With how the princess treats those concubines and embarrasses them, if Grandfather Chen dies from punishment or gets exiled from the palace, he wouldnt know what the concubines would try.

He also does not understand the Empress actions. At her age now, the princess, even without a father, could also live alone in the Princess Palace and have a teacher give her lessons. There was no need for her to be raised by a concubine. Since the Empress has expelled Prince Consort Yuyang from the palace and does not grant the princess wish to live with her father, why bother forcing the princess around like this? She even brought the princess to live with her and planned to raise her herself, setting a precedent as well.

Now, there were rumors everywhere in the palace that the Empress had intended to pass the throne to Princess Linglong all along, and that Princess Furong had lost Her Majestys favor. Princess Furong has even come to Princess Linglongs palace to sneer several times, and even Prince Yuyang, the biological father, was also quite resentful. Furthermore, it was also said that Princess Linglong was acting so impudently now because she was instigated by Prince Consort Yuyang. Princess Linglong and Princess Furong were at each others throats, and they had confronted each other several times.

When Yuyang was in the palace, his one regret was losing Princess Furong who was taken away. Throughout his time here, he suffered so many grievances just so he could take a look at Princess Furong. Every day, he would teach Princess Linglong, the most important thing was that she and her sister loved each other regardless. Even if they did not grow up in the same place, he always told Linglong to remember that Furong is her only sister, so she must respect, love, and help her sister in times of need. Yet, in the end, it was Princess Furong who caused Prince Yuyang to leave the palace, and it was Princess Furong who came to the Princess Palace to insult her father after Prince Consort Yuyang left.

With her sister acting this way, added with the Empress, her own mother, also making things difficult for Princess Linglong, it would be strange if the princess could keep her calm. Now, she was just arrogantly strutting around in the palace, angering the Empress, although she hasnt done anything significant yet. Still, the Empress was persecuting the princess, causing the princess rebellious streak. She was the root of the problem, but can this kind of thing be told to the Empress?

You dont have to be afraid. No matter what you say today, I will not punish you for it. Just act as if you were never here.

Mingyue also understood Grandfather Chens situation. Just a glance at his face told her he must have something to say.

Yes the Princess

Chen thought about it and opened his mouth, after all, after so many years of following the princess and the Empress, he also wanted the two of them to be well.

It was not a good thing to be so angry with the Empress like this.

After receiving the Empress assurance again, he began to speak his mind.

After a few words, the Empress was enlightened.
