Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 225: The 5 Princesses Who No Longer Helped in the Fight (Ancient Times)

Xu Tao squinted her eyes and accepted the service of the palace maid. After she had packed up everything and sent the palace maid on night watch away, she stretched herself lazily, yawned, crossed her legs and reminisced.

She was the fifth princess of the current Yue Dynasty, eleven years old this year. Her maternal grandfather, Wen Rushi, was a second-rank official, and her mother, Consort Wen Yurui, was a first-rank concubine, and the only daughter she had. She was somewhat favored by the emperor, but she didn't like to cause trouble.

The concubines in the palace had no fear of my mother at all. If she behaved herself, she would be able to find a good husband. As my grandfather was a royalist, he would be able to retire safely, and my mother would be able to live out her old age in peace.

But this fool of hers happened to fall in love with the third prince's cousin. For him, she threatened to commit suicide and asked her mother to help the third prince ascend the throne. She also knelt in front of her grandfather to beg for mercy.

Not only did her grandfather's earnest persuasion fail to have any positive effect, but she instead ran around spreading rumors. In the end, her grandfather's family had to be tied to the third prince. Who made them have such a bad granddaughter like her?

The final result, of course, was the defeat of the Third Prince and the ascension of the Crown Prince. The Empress's position was secure, and the Crown Prince's maternal family was the Prime Minister. As a clever person, how could she be defeated by the Third Prince, whose mother was the daughter of a fifth-rank official?

If the third prince Xu Ze had not used despicable means, he would not have made it to the end.

Although the new emperor did not publicly settle accounts after ascending the throne, he also showed his displeasure, and many people secretly rushed to curry favor with the emperor.

The Wen family had no face to stay in the imperial capital, so they volunteered to go to the bitter cold land. If they continued to stay in the imperial capital, their descendants might not survive. This place has always been a place where the powerful are flattered and the weak are bullied, not to mention that they have been disliked by the emperor.

The mother followed the late emperor voluntarily for the sake of her useless daughter, just to save her life. After all, she did go too far. She was disrespectful to the prince, complained to my father, and was disrespectful to the queen.

Xu Tao slapped her head. How dare she do that? She was able to live so long because of her family background. If she had become a concubine, she might not have lived to enter the palace.

Later, the new emperor spared her, but all the benefits she had received were gone. Yuan Jia Silang also survived because he was the prince consort, but instead of being grateful, he belittled and humiliated her at every turn.

Seeing that no one cared about her, he even started fighting. As a princess who lived in luxury, she was no match for him. Fortunately, the people left by her maternal grandparents came forward and subdued him.

Seeing that he couldn't do anything to her, the man turned to verbal attacks on her, saying that she was a slut, and she was a princess. He just pretended to be a hero and saved the beauty and wanted her to marry him wholeheartedly. He said that he had never seen a woman as stupid as her.

A normal person would think that as a princess, how could the person who protected her disappear? Why was her maid so familiar with the road outside, and why did she not doubt it at all?

Thinking of this, Xu Tao pounded the bed hard.

"Princess, do you need a servant to come in and serve you?"

"No, I...I am fine. Do not make any sound unless I tell you to."

Xu Tao was a little hungry, so she took out a bun and started chewing it. After she finished chewing it, she thought for a while and then fell asleep.

Being woken up early in the morning, Xu Tao was dazed and was washed and dressed by the palace maids. After that, she went to the palace where her mother lived.

"Mother concubine, mother concubine."

"You naughty monkey, your voice has arrived before your body. Believe it or not, your mother will ask the nanny to punish you."

Wen Yurui smiled and said these words of reprimand, but her hands were busy preparing her daughter's favorite breakfast.

"Mother is the one who can't bear to let me go~"

Xu Tao hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly. She didn't want to behave herself anymore after experiencing freedom. Of course, she only acted like this in her mother's palace. As for outside, she would wait until she could feel her father's attitude.

If it was good, she would take out some spiritual spring water. After all, it was better for her biological father to sit on the throne than for her half-brother to sit on the throne.

"You, how old are you and still love to act like a spoiled child?"

Today her daughter was particularly clinging to her, and Wen Yurui enjoyed it very much. The palace was lonely, and she did not love the emperor. Her only relative here was her daughter. It was with her daughter's company that she had lived a fulfilling life over the years.

Thinking that my daughter will be married in four or five years, I wish time would go by more slowly. Being a daughter-in-law is not as comfortable as being a daughter, especially being a royal princess.

"Mom, what are you thinking about? Eat it quickly or it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Wen Yurui came back to her senses and smiled as she accompanied her daughter for breakfast.

After dinner, Xu Tao stayed with her mother for a while, then got up and returned to the princess's residence. After seeing the scenery in various places, she changed her mind. She had experienced so many worlds, but had never really visited the imperial palace.

"Fifth Princess, this is not the way back. You still have a nanny here to teach you today."

Xu Tao sighed. She was so annoyed but she couldn't just leave the person there. Her mother had spent a lot of effort to find the nanny.

"Qiu Guo, why are you spoiling her fun for no reason? As long as the princess is happy, it's okay for her to wait a while. Is it possible that our princess is not worthy of making a servant wait? Princess, the flowers are in full bloom now. Let me take you to see them."

Xia He quietly waited for the princess's reward. When she looked up at her calm eyes, her heart skipped a beat. "Princess, I'm terrified that you're looking at me like this."

The remaining three palace maids frowned, thinking that Xia He was overstepping her bounds and not knowing her duty.

"Haha, when will it be your turn to be this princess's mistress? Go back and kneel for two hours as punishment."

Xu Tao walked in front, feeling a little impatient. After all, it was more reassuring to have Ming's chess pieces.

She was also stupid in her previous life. Yingchun, Xiahe, Qiuguo and Dongxue grew up with her. She trusted the four of them the most, but she preferred Xiahe and rewarded her more.

But in her previous life, it was her most trusted maid who persuaded her to go out for fun during the Qiqiao Festival, and it was also she who told her that there were fun things to do and quietly led her away from the guards around her.

When they were being teased by the playboys, she protected herself tightly and cried and shouted for herself to run away first. The moment she finished speaking, Yuan Jia Silang happened to appear in front of them like a god and drove the playboys away.

She was very grateful to them, so Xia He's importance in her heart even surpassed her own wet nurse, and she treated her as well as the legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank official. But then she discovered something: she was a concubine of the Yuan family.

It's really a big investment that they are willing to send her in to be her maid. I just wonder if other families have her.

"Princess, you're back. Did Her Majesty keep you a little longer?"

Xu Tao immediately understood what Nanny meant and echoed, "Yes, mother missed me and kept me to talk for a while."

After she finished speaking, Xu Tao smiled at the serious Nanny Pang. Nanny Pang was not an ordinary nanny. She was the head nanny beside the Empress Dowager. After the Empress Dowager passed away, she left the palace to live out her life in honor. Ordinary people could not invite her.

It was my mother who found my grandfather, and it was because my grandfather had done a favor to the Pang family when he was young that he invited Nanny Pang into the palace.
