Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 377 Princess's Skirt 23

Gu Li told the story again in general terms, but Emperor Wuchang said nothing, and it was unknown whether he believed it or not.

If you check carefully, it is easy to find unreasonable places.

As long as the emperor investigates, he will definitely find out why Gu Li went out with the commander of the guards from the princess's mansion yesterday, and why there were only her and Feixue when they met the Xia family.

Also, the son of the Xia family is obviously not a very courageous person, so why would he commit a crime in the street in broad daylight?

Obviously, she only needed to show the token of the princess's mansion and no one would dare to attack her, but she didn't!

Everything is full of incredible coincidences and inconsistencies.

But the emperor just accompanied him for breakfast in silence after making sure that Xiao Shisan was not injured.

"This morning we have crystal winter melon dumplings, milk and white fungus porridge. They are all your favorites, Thirteen. Use more."

Without the Queen's instruction, Nanny Gui skillfully prepared some of Gu Li's favorite foods.

"Thank you, mother. Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Gui."

Nanny Gui smiled and replied, "It's not hard work for me, Princess, please eat more. These are specially prepared by the Queen Mother in the Imperial Kitchen."

Gu Li picked up a piece of golden silk roll for the empress and scooped half a bowl of barley porridge for the Wuchang Emperor who didn't say much.

"Father, please drink some rice porridge to warm your stomach!"

Emperor Wuchang's expression eased a little, and he took the rice porridge handed over by Gu Li and said, "Eat it!"

After finishing his meal early, Emperor Wuchang rinsed his mouth and took a deep look at Gu Li, sighing, "Thirteen has grown up!"

Gu Li clasped her hands on her knees and tightened them slightly, then she heard Emperor Wuchang say, "We never had such a quiet moment during meals before."

The queen also laughed and joked.

Gu Li relaxed a little, and Emperor Wuchang continued, "The children are grown up, and we are old. There are some things I want to hide from my father."

"Father!" Gu Li looked up at the emperor who had already known his destiny. In her eyes, Emperor Wuchang had always been the image of a good father.

"I have grown up, and I just want my father and mother to be happy every day, without worries and troubles!"

The queen smiled brightly, "Oh, little Thirteen has really grown up after coming of age." As the ruler and mother of a country, she has to deal with so many troublesome things every day. How can she be as happy as a child?

However, the children's wishes for themselves really touched their hearts.

Only when the Empress was with him and looking at Little Thirteen did Emperor Wuchang feel like he was an ordinary family's father.

He put away his unspeakable coldness, nodded and said, "Father understands. Bring more people with you when you go out next time."

"Thirteen, I understand!" Gu Li sat next to the queen obediently, leaning her head on her shoulder. "Father and mother are so kind to me. I don't know what I can give you in return! The whole world belongs to the king, and everything I have was given by father and mother."

The queen tapped her nose and said nonchalantly, "You're just talking nonsense."

Emperor Wuchang was somewhat moved, but he still answered her question. "Father only wishes that you brothers and sisters live in harmony."

Gu Li blinked. It was one of the few tender wishes of an emperor, but it was almost impossible to achieve.

"Yes." Gu Li repeated to herself again, it was a white lie, harmless.

Before leaving, Emperor Wuchang turned to the Queen and said, "The title of the Seventh Prince has been decided. Please choose a princess for him as soon as possible."

The Queen was puzzled. Concubine Mei had been looking for a lady from an aristocratic family for the Seventh Prince long ago. Why did the Emperor give this task to her now?

"His Majesty?"

"I'll leave this to you. What can Concubine Mei choose? Don't bring in people like the Xia family who have bad family traditions to tarnish the reputation of the royal family."

Emperor Wuchang left after saying a few words.

When the queen heard the word "Xia family", she understood the emperor's intention.

Although the Seventh Prince had married and left the palace to set up his own residence, his title had not yet been decided, and he thought he could compete with the Crown Prince. Therefore, his position as the principal wife was of utmost importance, and Mei Fei had been selected from many sources, but it was still vacant.

He had to appoint two concubines first. And one of the concubines of the seventh prince was named Xia.

That is Fatty Xia’s Xia family.

"Are those who bullied you from the Seventh Prince's side?" asked the Queen.

Gu Li nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, kid?" The queen no longer had her mother's gentle smile, but was more shrewd and calculating. "Don't worry, I won't let them go easily. I will definitely avenge my son!"

Gu Li lowered her eyelashes.

It was true that he wanted to vent his anger for her, and it was also true that he wanted to suppress the Seventh Prince.

"Mother, I got up too early today. I feel a little sleepy and want to go back home to rest!" Gu Li yawned.

"Go to the Queen Mother's side hall and have a rest. The things you are used to are still there. The Queen Mother has people clean them every day!"

Gu Li shook her head, and after some more persuasion she was able to escape from the palace and return home.

As soon as Gu Li left, the queen's face darkened and she called her personal maid to give her detailed instructions.

After leaving the palace, Gu Li relaxed her body, leaned against the wall of the car and closed her eyes to rest.

Feixue knelt beside him and said softly, "Commander Hu was called to the palace early in the morning and he hasn't come back yet!"

Gu Li's eyelids trembled but she didn't open them. Her father should have known the whole story, including the cause of Fengya Tower.

Commander Hu was originally assigned to her by the emperor, and she had no intention of hiding it completely from her father. If she did things perfectly, the emperor would have become suspicious.

Leaving the flaw exposed like this and letting the emperor reveal it himself would be more effective.

The emperor would only feel unsatisfied if a princess punished someone who offended the royal dignity in this way, and he would definitely strike back hard.

The Xia family will definitely not have a good end. First they defied the Crown Prince's punishment, and then they attempted to behave improperly towards Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Even the Seventh Prince who helped him escape got nothing good!

It's not that Gu Li didn't dare to ask the Seventh Brother for an explanation, but she was worried that the Seventh Brother would think that she was supporting Li Shao. Once the current problem was solved, it would leave Li Shao with a bigger disaster.

But Li Shaoming was clearly in his current predicament because of her.

She couldn't take any action, so she could only get involved and design a plan to hand over the final power of judgment to her father.

Only if the emperor intervenes can the dispute between the two sides come to an end.

"Princess, someone is following us!" The guard driving the carriage knocked on the door and reported in a low voice.

Feixue rolled up the felt curtain and looked back, and saw that the man on horseback was already approaching.

Shen Qingzhou bowed towards the carriage, "Shen Qingzhou wishes to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Seeing Gu Li still pretending to sleep, Feixue coldly rebuked her, "How dare you! Your Highness the Princess can be seen by just anyone----"

"Miss Feixue, is Her Royal Highness the Princess okay?"

Feixue was stunned. How did this person know her name? But she had never seen this person before.

Feixue in this life has never seen Shen Qingzhou, but Shen Qingzhou in the previous life was very familiar with the four palace maids around Gu Li.

Gu Li did not show her face, but a bland voice came from the carriage: "Mr. Shen San has the time to try to find out some information from me, why not focus on your own family!"

After saying that, he asked Feixue to lower the car curtain.

Shen Qingzhou slowed down his horse riding and fell far behind.
