The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 173 Tenderness

After two days of uproar in the Jinluan Palace, a decision was finally made.

Shen Yurong, the Minister of Public Affairs, and Mr. Li, Prime Minister of Li, both resigned from office. As for Princess Yongning, she was demoted to a commoner. 

Fortunately, Shen Yurong and Li Xian resigned from office on their own initiative without waiting for Emperor Hong Xiao to have an attack. 

Princess Yongning was demoted to a commoner. She fell from a high-ranking princess to the mud overnight, but it was Emperor Hong Xiao's personal decree.

After hearing the news about Concubine Liu, she immediately went to Emperor Hong Xiao to talk about her love. The emperor didn't see her at all, and only asked Eunuch Su to come out to deal with her discomfort. 

Concubine Liu originally wanted to imitate those concubines in the past, when the emperor didn't come out, she kept waiting. But after waiting and waiting, her body and bones could no longer bear it, and Emperor Hong Xiao showed no mercy to her. 

Seeing that there was no room for change in the matter, Concubine Liu waited for a long time and left angrily without mentioning the matter.

The entrance to the princess's mansion is guarded by officers and soldiers. From now on, this mansion no longer belongs to Princess Yongning. Princess Yongning had just made peace with Li Xian, and she couldn't go back to her princess mansion. She was really desperate and homeless.

Concubine Liu immediately told King Cheng to find Princess Yongning and settle her down. Even if Princess Yongning is demoted to a commoner, Concubine Liu will never ignore her. 

She thought that now she was just trying to flatter Emperor Hong Xiao, if she waited a few days, the world would change to a new master, her daughter would still be able to enter the capital in glory.

King Cheng had no choice but to secretly meet Princess Yongning, and Princess Yongning took money to let her stay in an inn temporarily. She still can't stay in a good inn because afraid of being discovered. After all, it is an imperial edict. Once someone is found to be disobeying the imperial edict, no one can really save Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning had never stayed in such a shabby inn in her life, and she immediately wanted to find King Cheng to change places. King Cheng reprimanded her angrily. Because of Princess Yongning's disturbance in the Jinluan Palace, Shen Yurong resigned, and Li Xian also resigned. The Li family had a rift with him because of this. Although King Cheng appeased his right minister, can the cracks in people's hearts be healed so easily? 

On the surface, Li Zhongnan said that he was letting go of the past and everything was over, but who knew what he was thinking in his heart. At this juncture, if his subordinates separated from him, this would pose a big problem for King Cheng.

Therefore, King Cheng was also quite angry with Princess Yongning as the culprit. He also accused Princess Yongning: "Since you are pregnant, why didn't you tell me? Why did you insist on marrying Li Xian? Don't you know that the Li family is not to be messed with? How dare you be so arrogant?"

"If I tell eldest brother, he may not let me get what I want!" 

Princess Yongning was not to be outdone, and said tit for tat: "The emperor's imperial edict has been issued, and even my mother and concubine can't do anything about it, what else can eldest brother do? Maybe in order to appease the Li family, they asked me not to have this child before then!" 
 
"Brother said it loudly, but I don’t know why I became like this! If you have the ability, sit in that position, my mother and I will do it! Why have you endured it for so many years?"
