After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 652 Reminder

Nanny Zhou came to her senses, half her body was already cold.

"Why are you calling me?" Nanny Zhou’s voice trembled slightly.

"Nanny, the Empress has already left," the palace maid said.

Nanny Zhou turned around, the Empress had already gone far.

Princess Shouning was near death, and the Empress could not concern herself with anything else.

Nanny Zhou quickly lifted her foot to follow.

Meanwhile Princess Shuning instructed the palace maid to fetch a dress she hadn’t worn yet.

The maid quickly went and returned.

She brought not only Princess Shuning’s dress but also her own, for Xingxing.

The princess’s dress was different from those of the typical noble ladies, looking exceptionally noble.

Xingxing was very fond of it.

She had to work harder to urge her mistress to have the Emperor name her a princess; the dress was so beautiful.

Princess Shuning laughed and said, "This dress fits you as if tailored for you; if Father names you princess, we will be sisters."

If not for Su Jin, Consort Li would not have touched the edge of the Phoenix Seal anytime soon.

Although burdened by Su Jin, stung by bees, Princess Shuning was quite fond of Su Jin.

Perhaps this is the so-called enemy of one’s enemy is a friend.

The weather was hot, and the hair dried quickly.

Xingxing changed Su Jin’s hairstyle, adorned her with the previously bought accessories, and for those unaware of her identity, she really looked like a princess.

Su Jin looked at Princess Shuning and said, "You don’t need to stay with me; I’ll go out after resting for a while."

Princess Shuning laughed and said, "Then I shall go first; if anything happens, just give an order."

Su Jin responded with a smile.

Once outside, Princess Shuning felt her advice was unnecessary.

The Emperor favored Su Jin, and the palace maids and eunuchs knew it; likely, they would have done things without her ordering it.

After Princess Shuning left, Su Jin looked at Xingxing, "Why is Princess Shouning barely hanging on?"

When she saved her, Princess Shouning still had plenty of spirit.

So she rescued Nie Yao.

Unexpectedly, the more she saved, the worse it got.

Xingxing had a look of innocence.

She hadn’t done anything.

Only took a small chance to get back at Princess Shouning, getting her to drink more water. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Inside Fengyang Palace.

Princess Shouning came to her senses, clinging to the Empress and crying bitterly.

She had nearly died just moments earlier.

The Empress was frightened as well, patting Princess Shouning’s shoulder, saying, "Everything’s fine, it’s all fine now."

Princess Shouning looked at the Empress and said, "Mother, the maid of the Princess Consort Zhenbei wants to drown me!"

The Empress was stunned.

"Drown you?"

"How dare she?!" Her voice rose a few notches.

Princess Shouning was sure; that maid wanted to drown her.

Only Princess Shouning’s words were unbelieved.

When the maid rescued her, she still had the strength to call for help; if she reached the shore without a breath, the maid was not rescuing but harming.

Even if Princess Shouning was sure, she could only swallow this anger.

Otherwise, others would say she was ungrateful, repaying kindness with malice, as so many eyes saw Xingxing saved her ashore.

Not only could she not punish, but she also had to bestow heavy rewards.

Princess Shouning trembled with anger.

Ever since being whipped by the Princess Consort Zhenbei, nothing went her way.

Had her lucky fortunes been whipped away by that lash?!

The weather was hot, the pool water wasn’t cold, Princess Shouning was only a bit startled, but not seriously harmed.

To prevent a cold, she still drank a bowl of ginger soup.

After changing her dress, she also went to the Imperial Garden.

From afar, she saw Su Jin and Xingxing walking over.

All the noble ladies were stunned.

Because Su Jin looked so beautiful in that dress.

Her comprehensive aura was more a princess than the princess.

The Empress, looking displeased, no wonder Marquis Dongxiang exerted himself to have the Emperor name his daughter a princess, she indeed had the air of a princess.

Nanny Zhou was terribly anxious.

She remembered the child back then having a gourd birthmark, just in the right place on the arm.

Consort Yun was Marquis Dongxiang’s cousin.

Marquis Dongxiang was trying hard to have the Emperor name his daughter a princess.

It couldn’t be that coincidental...

It certainly couldn’t be!

Nanny Zhou appeared dazed, absent-minded.

The palace maid glanced sideways several times, she felt Nanny Zhou was afraid.

What frightened Nanny Zhou was the Princess Consort Zhenbei.

But she hadn’t provoked Princess Consort Zhenbei, why be afraid?

The Empress sat in the pavilion, Su Jin brought Xingxing forward to pay respects.

The Empress looked at Su Jin and said, "Thanks to you and your maid, Marquis Yangnan’s granddaughter and Shouning did not come to harm."

"A mere trifle, the Empress is overpraising," Su Jin replied.

The Empress felt that even without Su Jin intervening, Princess Shouning and Nie Yao wouldn’t have been harmed.

If so many people were there and they drowned, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Imperial Garden could be executed.

But saving someone deserves reward, the Empress rewarded Su Jin a pair of Red Jade Bracelets, rewarded Xingxing a pair of silver bracelets.

Su Jin thanked her.

Xingxing followed behind and curtseyed.

This feeling of venting for the mistress while getting rewarded felt too good.

The Empress wore a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold all over.

She looked at Consort Li and said, "Isn’t it time to start the banquet?"

Consort Li laughed, "It seems the fall into the water didn’t cause any impact, so let’s start the banquet."

This banquet was hosted by Consort Li, she was the first to stand up.

The Empress still sat in the pavilion.

Nanny Zhou watched Su Jin walk away and said, "The Princess Consort Zhenbei is sixteen, but I remember the Flying Tiger Army event was less than sixteen years ago, how does Marquis Dongxiang have such a big daughter?"

If Nanny Zhou hadn’t said it, the Empress wouldn’t have noticed.

After all, being off by several months doesn’t look obvious.

The Empress frowned slightly, "Could it be the Princess Consort Zhenbei is also not Marquis Dongxiang’s biological daughter?"

But to say she’s not biological, Marquis Dongxiang was very fond of her.

Even the seven-year-old Young Master Su protected her sister, fearful she might be bullied.

But even if Nanny Zhou brought it up, the Empress didn’t care much.

No matter if Su Jin was Marquis Dongxiang’s biological child, he recognized her as his daughter, others couldn’t interfere, even if they could, what of it, now she’s the Princess Consort Zhenbei.

Who could make Marquis Dongxiang disown the daughter, or force the Heir of Prince Zhenbei to divorce his wife?

Seeing the Empress utterly unconcerned about this matter, Nanny Zhou was anxious.

Although she was almost sure Su Jin was Consort Yun and the Emperor’s daughter, she still held out hope.

What if she guessed wrong?

If not born by Consort Yun, the Emperor already favored her so much.

To know born by Consort Yun, wouldn’t the Emperor adore her even more?

If only it were a son, who could compete for the Crown Prince position?

But she dared not tell the truth, should the Empress know she deceived her back then, wouldn’t she be skinned alive?

The Empress rose from the pavilion, stopped after walking a few steps.

"Your Highness?" Nanny Zhou called.

The Empress laughed, "You’re right to remind me, this matter needs to be clarified."

A General supposedly destined to fight on the battlefield, adding a daughter while slaying enemies.

Such a damaging thing to military prestige, how could it not be clarified?

Rebuilding the Flying Tiger Army, Marquis Dongxiang’s weight in the imperial court, among the populace, and in the Emperor’s mind was too heavy.

If the General hadn’t taken the battlefield to heart?

This perfect weapon shouldn’t go unused.
