Chapter 1044 The Princess Isn't in a Hurry as Her Eyebrows Are on Fire
As soon as she finished speaking, Shui Simiao held her hands high, waiting for Feng Guang to place the imperial edict in her hands.
Feng Guang saw the undisguised joy on Shui Simiao's face, curled his lip in disdain, and thought to himself: A child born out of wedlock is a child born out of wedlock. Children born out of wedlock are indeed not worthy of being presented to the public.
From now on, the Prince Yi's mansion will have such a concubine-born principal wife...
snort!
Let's see how much dignity Prince Yi and his mansion can still retain!
Let's see if that ambitious and insatiably greedy Prince Yi still dares to covet what he shouldn't covet!
Feng Guang stretched out his right hand, and the little eunuch beside him handed the whisk back to Feng Guang.
Feng Guang flicked his whisk and said, "Now that the imperial edict has been read, it's time for me to return to the palace!"
After saying that, Feng Guang looked at the newly appointed Princess Consort Shui Simiao, curled his lips, and said, "Princess Consort, now that Prince Yi is seriously ill, and the Prince Yi's residence has some tasks assigned by the Emperor to handle, the matter of taking care of the seriously ill Prince Yi and collecting the bodies of the late Princess Consort's family... will require Princess Consort to put in a lot of effort!"
After saying that, without waiting for Shui Simiao's reply, Feng Guang strode out of the courtyard.
The people from Prince Yi's mansion who were kneeling on the ground moved aside to make way.
Feng Guang was seen off on his knees by the crowd and drifted away... He not only left without a trace, but he didn't even have the chance to wave goodbye!
As Feng Guang left the Prince Yi's residence, he didn't look back at Princess Shui Simiao, Jiang Fang, Tong Lian, or the steward Yin Fu who were seeing him off, until he got into his carriage outside the gate.
He accepted the purse that Yin Fu stuffed into his hand without even blinking... Why not take it if it's free!
The three people standing outside the mansion gate watched Feng Guang's carriage disappear into the distance...
Princess Shui Simiao of Yiwang had a joyful expression on her face;
Jiang Fang, Tong Lian, and the butler Yin Fu all looked worried.
Shui Simiao was overjoyed at the moment. She was thinking that next, Jiang Fang, Tong Lian, Yin Fu, and everyone in the mansion would kowtow to her, the newly crowned Princess Yi, to congratulate her and ask for rewards...
But to my surprise, when I turned my head, I saw three grumpy faces full of worry!
Shui Simiao suddenly felt displeased.
Could it be... that they look down on them?
No matter what, she was the Princess Consort of Prince Yi, appointed by imperial decree!
Those two retainers and the steward, how dare they look down on me, the dignified Princess Consort of Prince Yi?
Since that's the case, I'm determined to establish my authority today!
Shui Simiao first summoned the head maidservant beside her and ordered her to return to the Vice Minister's residence to report the good news.
She then turned to Jiang Fang, Tong Lian, and Yin Fu and instructed them, "The three of you come with me!"
Jiang Fang, Tong Lian, and Yin Fu wanted to hurry back to the study to find the imperial physician and see if there was any way to wake Prince Yi up as soon as possible and help him take control of the situation.
Even if it's just an excuse to remain unconscious, and they don't show themselves openly, they can still control the Prince Yi's mansion from the shadows!
It's better than handing over the Prince Yi's mansion to Shui Simiao, who was born out of wedlock!
However, Shui Simiao is now the Princess Consort of Prince Yi, appointed by imperial decree. When Prince Yi is not present, they really have no reason not to listen to the Princess Consort's orders.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally followed Shui Simiao to the front hall with no other choice.
Regardless, she is now considered the Princess Consort of Prince Yi, so a "congratulations" is still necessary.
Seeing Shui Simiao swagger off to the seat in the center of the hall, the three exchanged glances, raised their eyebrows, and bowed respectfully to Shui Simiao, who was seated at the head of the table. "Your Highness, this humble servant congratulates you!"
Sitting in the seat she had always dreamed of, and hearing "Congratulations, Princess," Shui Simiao felt completely fulfilled!
That’s right!
Jiang Fang, Tong Lian, and Yin Fu had no interest in, nor the time to, waste time with this newly crowned Princess Yi, who was riding high on her success.
Jiang Fang stepped forward first, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, "Your Highness, there are many troubles in the manor now. His Highness Prince Yi is seriously ill and unconscious."
The day after that... it was the day the Emperor ordered our Prince Yi's Mansion to collect the bodies of the late Princess Consort and her family.
These matters...we would appreciate it if Your Highness could make the decision!
After listening to Jiang Fang's words, Tong Lian and Yin Fu exchanged a silent glance, their thoughts aligned—
Yes, now that you are Princess Yi, you should do what Princess Yi should do!
Is being Princess Yi easy? How should one be a princess? You'll have to experience it for the next few days!
Shui Simiao was in a good mood right now and didn't want to waste her energy on this!
She looked down at the ruby ring on her hand... The ruby was a bit too small, not befitting her current status as the Princess Consort of Prince Yi.
When I was young, I might have been able to go to Prince Yi's private treasury and choose some jewelry worthy of my status to wear out... That would have been a matter of dignity for Prince Yi's mansion!
Thinking of this, Shui Simiao looked up at the three people standing in front of her, put on a self-righteous attitude of superiority, and gave orders to them one by one: "Steward, give the order that in order to celebrate the fact that I have been conferred the title of Princess Consort of Prince Yi by imperial decree, everyone in Prince Yi’s mansion will receive an extra month’s salary!"
Also, please pass me the token. I need to go to the palace to express my gratitude to my uncle and aunt!
Furthermore, continue to invite renowned doctors to treat the prince; there must be no slackening!
As for how to collect the bodies of the former princess's family the day after tomorrow... uh... I still need to think about it.
That's a matter for the day after tomorrow, no rush!
Do you understand everything? "
