Chapter 475: Just make her a princess, okay?
Su Daji was so angry that she was fuming. She shouted loudly: "Take her back to me."
"When did my imperial study become a place for you to throw a tantrum?" Qi Guangheng walked in with Gu Sinian.
Su Daji knelt down and said, "I just thought this child was cute, so I wanted to play a joke on her..."
Qi Guangheng sneered and said, "Are you kidding me? Why don't you take your people and get out of here?"
Su Daji then stood up, glanced at Lin Wanwan coldly and said, "Yes, I will take my leave now."
After she left, Qi Guangheng looked at Lin Wanwan's chubby little face, with a bit of kindness overflowing from the smile lines at the corners of his eyes: "This little baby girl is so delicate and pretty."
Lin Wanwan tilted her head back to look at the emperor in front of her. Although he had gained weight and a bulging belly was faintly visible under his brocade robe, the sharp heroic spirit between his eyebrows was exactly the same as Gu Sinian's.
She tilted her head and said in a baby voice, "Uncle is so handsome! He looks just like my brother!"
Qi Guangheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "What a clever little guy with a sharp tongue!"
He scratched the tip of Lin Wanwan's nose and said, "Since you saved Si Nian, I will definitely reward you well and make you a princess, okay?"
Master Bai hurried forward, knelt, and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider! My granddaughter is still young, and suddenly making her a princess might lead to criticism. Please revoke your order!"
"Criticism?" Qi Guangheng waved his sleeves and said:
"In this palace, I have the final say! Since she was able to save Si Nian from the brink of death, she truly deserves the title of Princess!
Anyone who dares to speak out is opposing me!"
He lowered his head to look at Lin Wanwan in his arms, and his tone softened again: "From now on, you will be Princess Ning'an. With me protecting you, no one can bully you!"
Lin Wanwan's legs swayed with excitement, her arms tightly wrapped around Qi Guangheng's neck. She unreservedly kissed Qi Guangheng on the cheek and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor! Wanwan loves being a princess!"
Sun Quan and the others nearby were startled, but Qi Guangheng suddenly looked up and laughed, "What a daring little brat!"
Gu Sinian strode forward and held Lin Wanwan firmly in his arms.
He gently wiped the saliva from the corner of Lin Wanwan's mouth, his tone both helpless and doting: "Wanwan, you can't kiss others casually."
Qi Guangheng glared at his son in feigned anger: "What other people? I am now this girl's uncle, the emperor. Anyone who dares to bully her in the future must pass me first!"
Lin Wanwan was really happy, but she didn’t know what tangible benefits this princess’ identity could bring.
Qi Guangheng continued talking for a while before Eunuch Sun said, "Your Majesty has to review the memorials. You may all leave first!"
Lin Wanwan nodded quickly and waved, saying, "Goodbye, Uncle Emperor."
To be honest, her first impression of the emperor was quite good.
After getting in the car, Bai Yin laughed heartily and said, "Not bad, not bad. My sweetheart is just so lovable. She became a princess the first time she entered the palace. That's really remarkable."
Lin Wanwan asked: "Grandpa, is there any benefit for the princess?"
Master Bai reached out and gently rubbed the top of Lin Wanwan's head, his eyes full of satisfaction:
"After being granted the title of Princess, you will have your own Princess Mansion.
Once His Majesty's decree arrives, the Ministry of Rites will select a suitable residence, although it may not be as grand as the royal palace.
But it also has three courtyards, with a gatehouse in front and a garden in the back, and there are also some stewards and maids to serve."
He counted slowly on his fingers:
"I received eighty taels of silver as salary every month, and during festivals I received silk and cloth as rewards.
There is no need to perform formalities when meeting officials below the fifth rank.
When a lady of the third rank or above comes to visit, she only needs to bow slightly.
From now on, your studies and etiquette will be taught by female teachers sent from the palace, and your food, clothing, and other expenses will be in accordance with royal standards."
At this point, Master Bai's tone became even gentler:
“Although I am not as noble as a princess, I am still considered very respectable among the noble ladies in the capital.
From now on, when you go out, you will have your own carriage with a lantern of the Prince's Mansion hanging in front of it, so others will know your identity at a glance."
Lin Wanwan's two small hands fumbled back and forth in her clothes pockets, even wrinkling the hem of her skirt: "Oh no! I left my candy in the palace!"
Seeing this, Master Bai quickly wiped away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes with his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, Naitang is very smart! She might be trying to find out what's going on in the palace for you."
At this moment, Naitang was squatting on the gilded carved table in Su Daji's bedroom. In front of her was the newly tributed rose goose oil pastry, and the icing was emitting fine golden light under the candlelight.
As it was enjoying a piece of cake with its front paws, it suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking from behind the screen.
"This is outrageous!" Su Daji's beautiful face twisted in anger. "How dare that little bastard call me Mama! Does he think I'm an old woman half buried in the ground?"
She grabbed the hairpin on the table and threw it hard. The nine-phoenix hairpin holding a pearl made a sharp sound when it hit the green bricks.
The housekeeper came forward on her knees and gently wiped the corners of her red eyes with a handkerchief:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your beauty is so stunning that even Chang'e would feel ashamed of herself.
Why bother getting angry with a yellow-haired girl?
Su Daji grabbed the bronze mirror and smashed it against the dressing table, shattering it into a spider web.
"That bitch Su Wan'er got away with it back then, and now she's back with her own evil offspring!
Send someone to investigate. If it's her granddaughter, they'll make sure both of them are never found alive or dead!"
She thought of Gu Sinian's face and suddenly overturned the low table, causing the jade teacup to shatter.
"And that Eighteenth Prince! I thought he'd be saved by dying out there, but he survived!
Dare you covet my son's throne? Pass on my order and find an opportunity to kill him."
"Your Majesty, think again!" The maid's face turned pale as she trembled as she held her hand. "Your Majesty dotes on the Eighteenth Prince now. If you act rashly, you'll only bring disaster upon yourself!"
She slammed her handkerchief down on the gilded dressing box and said, "She's just a wild girl, and you're making her a princess just by meeting her once? Qi Guangheng is out of his mind!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down..." The personal maid's hands were shaking as she held the sour plum soup, and before she could finish her words, Su Daji waved her sleeves and knocked it over.
"A little bastard who hasn't even grown all his baby teeth yet, you dare to go against me?" She suddenly grabbed the jade hairpin beside her pillow and fiercely stabbed it at the double phoenix and peony embroidery on the bed curtains. "You can be crowned a princess today, but will you ride on my head tomorrow?"
The housekeeper knelt at the foot of the stairs with her head bowed, her old voice mingling with the lingering scent of agarwood:
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Even if that yellow-haired girl is crowned a princess, it's just a temporary novelty for Your Majesty.
Our little princess is a golden girl, how can she compare to her?
The most important thing now is the Eighteenth Prince..."
Su Daji said coldly, "Qi Guangheng wants to give his heart and soul to that bastard! How could he allow us to hurt him in the slightest?"
The housekeeper pulled out a dark purple glass bottle from her sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, please look at this Soul-Eroding Incense. It's a secret medicine I bought at a high price from a Persian merchant."
She lowered her voice, a sinister smile spreading across her wrinkled face. "Just mix it with ordinary incense and light it. It will make you sleepy and tired for the first few days, but after three days, you'll become forgetful."
