Chapter 241: Chapter 241 The Empress Dowager’s Sudden Kindness

"Hmm?"

"Jingjing means, Jingjing has seen in those storybooks that very powerful women can marry many husbands. Since you are the Princess Residence, you should also be able to marry many Prince Consorts. Otherwise, why don’t you marry both Pavilion Master Tang and my father?"

Yan Jingjing said this with a serious face.

Chu Baihan: "..."

Chu Junxi: "..."

"Sister, so the storybooks you’ve been reading behind our backs are about these things."

Chu Junxi’s chubby little face now wore an expression of disbelief and helplessness.

Chu Baihan also wore an indescribable expression.

She said seriously to Yan Jingjing, "Jingjing, in the future, read fewer of these kinds of storybooks, understand?"

It’s true that in history, princesses who had married Prince Consorts also took in many concubines.

She was the Princess Residence of Nanduan Kingdom, and also the Great General, so keeping a few men was certainly possible for her.

Though there would be gossip and rumors, she could simply ignore them.

But she resisted the idea from the bottom of her heart.

She didn’t want another man to interfere with her relationship with Yan Lin, just as she didn’t want Yan Lin to have other women.

"All right, your mother is about to leave. You two stay here at the Princess Residence and remember to listen to Aunt Ruolan, got it?"

"Got it."

The two little ones nodded obediently.

Chu Baihan let out a slight sigh and stood up to leave.

At the entrance of the Princess Residence, Tang Zishen kept trying to run inside.

Pavilion Master, please hurry, the Princess is trying to run away on her own.

But every time he tried to run back inside, Wuji would pull him back and say sternly, "Doctor Tang, the Princess will be out soon; just wait here."

"But, but..." but our Pavilion Master hasn’t arrived yet.

"Um, Brother Wuming, perhaps you could help call for our Pavilion Master and the other people from the Tang Sect. It’s safer to have more people following along."

Tang Zishen said sheepishly to Wuming.

However, Wuming coldly retorted, "There’s no need, our Princess said that people from the Princess Residence are sufficient for this trip, no need for the Tang Sect’s help."

Tang Zishen: "..."

"What’s going on here?"

Yan Lian was extremely bored staying in the Princess Residence, so he planned to go out for a breath of fresh air, but he didn’t expect to encounter so many people at the entrance.

Normally, he would find Jian Yun to play with.

But for some reason, after Jian Yun said she was busy and left the Princess Residence last night, she didn’t come back.

However, in the morning, she sent a maid to pass on a message, saying she had found relatives of the Jian Family in Nanduan Kingdom, so she went to catch up with them.

Without Jian Yun’s company, it’s so boring, it truly is.

"Responding to Prince Lian, our Princess is planning to go with the Empress Dowager to Yin Mountain to pray for blessings." said Wuji.

"Pray for blessings with that old witch, the Empress Dowager? Is it really praying for blessings, or could it be another gathering like the Banquet of Hongmen?"

Yan Lian stroked his chin, his expression grave.

After a while, he said sternly, "This Prince will also follow along."

If that old witch Empress Dowager plots something again, he could also help shield the Eighth Princess from some danger.

Hearing Yan Lian’s words, Wuji and Wuming frowned slightly but did not stop him.

"Why can he go, but our Pavilion Master cannot?"

Tang Zishen, with his arms crossed, retorted angrily.

As a result, Wuji said expressionlessly, "Our Princess did not say that Prince Lian couldn’t go."

Tang Zishen: "..."

So it seems our Pavilion Master is being singled out.

It was at this moment that he saw Chu Baihan leave the residence, and he quickly spoke up, "Master, our Pavilion Master..."

"If you say one more word, I won’t allow you to follow," Chu Baihan, knowing Tang Zishen would make a fuss, cut him off sternly before he could finish speaking.

Tang Zishen: "..."

Alright then.

He still wanted to be with his master, it seemed he had no choice but to abandon the Pavilion Master.

"Princess, the Empress Dowager is almost at the city gates, you must go and wait, you absolutely cannot make the Empress Dowager wait for you!"

It was at this moment that an old nanny reminded her with an unpleasant tone.

She was the person the Empress Dowager had sent to fetch Chu Baihan.

Hearing her words, Chu Baihan’s eyes grew cold.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth and then said coolly, "Nanny Qiuping, the Empress Dowager said to depart at the city gates at the hour of chen, hasn’t the time not yet arrived?"

"Besides, if this princess was really late, it’s not your place to criticize. Have you acted haughtily for so long under someone’s protection that you’ve forgotten your own status?"

Chu Baihan’s voice grew colder with each word.

Nanny Qiuping’s face stiffened.

She clenched her fists, seething with anger.

Having served the Empress Dowager for over thirty years, in the Imperial Palace, many a lowly maid had to look to her mood.

But the Princess often made things difficult for her, clearly showing no regard for the Empress Dowager’s face.

However, this was at the entrance of the Princess Residence, and if a fuss arose, no one would be on her side.

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the resentment in her heart.

After all, once she saw the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager would naturally take her side.

She lowered her head and then obediently said to Chu Baihan, "Princess, this servant was too anxious earlier and spoke out of turn, this servant knows her fault."

"Knowing the fault, you should be punished," Chu Baihan said, her tone even colder.

The next instant, Nan Xing walked up to Nanny Qiuping and delivered a hefty slap to her face.

This old nanny, having relied on the protection of the Empress Dowager in the past, had made no small trouble for them.

Today, they had to vent their anger no matter what.

"You lowly..."

After receiving a slap, Nanny Qiuping was half-dead with rage, wanting to question Nan Xing.

But when Chu Baihan looked over with one glance, she could only swallow all the venomous words she had wished to utter.

Nan Xing, going back and forth with slaps, stopped only when her own hand ached, leaving Nanny Qiuping’s cheeks swollen like a pig’s head before she finally ceased.

"Alright, let’s set off now," Chu Baihan spoke indifferently.

Nanny Qiuping watched Chu Baihan’s retreating figure with eyes full of venom and resentment.

This journey to Yin Mountain was a trap set by the Empress Dowager.

The Princess, her arrogance wouldn’t last much longer.

The carriage arrived at the city gate where many commoners were already waiting.

Seeing Chu Baihan’s carriage approach, these commoners immediately knelt to thank her for tirelessly praying for their well being.

"Baihan, you’ve finally arrived."

The Empress Dowager descended from another carriage and greeted Chu Baihan with a kindly smile.

Chu Baihan had never seen the Empress Dowager like this; she was truly "flattered."

"Empress Dowager," she also pulled out a smile with a deeper meaning in response to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager’s peripheral vision caught the sight of Nanny Qiuping’s swollen face, a flash of coldness in her eyes, which quickly reverted back to a kind and benign expression.

"The journey to Yin Mountain is long and difficult, my thanks for your efforts," she said as she walked over, took Chu Baihan’s hands, and patted the back of her hands.

"The Empress Dowager, despite your age, is willing to go, and we admire you all the more. How could my royal sister and I ever speak of hardship?"

It was then that a familiar voice spoke up.

Chu Baihan looked up and saw Princess Nan Leqin also alighting from the carriage.
