Chapter 903 The Princess Learns of Liu Shiqing's Death
But the eldest princess understood that many people had put in a lot of hard work for her birthday party.
And there are many people in this world who care about her, and they all sent her their blessings just now.
She couldn't spoil everyone's fun just because of herself.
If she was unhappy, many palace servants would surely suffer.
So, the eldest princess lowered her head, sniffed, forced back the tears in her eyes, and forced herself to be happy.
Although my mother was imprisoned in Lixuan Pavilion by my father, she recently learned an idiom called "there is a long way to go".
The eldest princess believed that once her father calmed down, she would have the chance to eat the longevity noodles made by her mother again.
She will definitely be more well-behaved and obedient, and try to get her father to release her mother as soon as possible!
There were also many wonderful performances during the banquet.
There are festive songs and dances, soft music, operas suitable for children, and more.
The emperor was busy with state affairs, so it was impossible for him to stay at the banquet all day.
He had already sent someone to deliver the precious gift to the eldest princess, and left after lunch to take care of government affairs.
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted respectfully: "Farewell, Your Majesty!"
After the emperor left, the atmosphere became more lively and everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
Royal relatives or concubines gathered in groups of three or four, discussing some interesting topics.
The eldest princess was also in the imperial garden, playing with the children she was familiar with from the royal family.
Children's emotions always come and go quickly. Soon, the eldest princess was immersed in this happiness and forgot her previous troubles.
The children are playing hide and seek.
When it comes to familiarity with the Imperial Garden, who can compare to the eldest princess?
Before long, she had left everyone behind and hid behind a rockery. Even the nanny and maids were unable to catch up with her.
The eldest princess hid in the gap of the rockery, watching other people running back and forth here without noticing her. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.
She will definitely be the one who perseveres to the end!
Who knew that at this moment, the eldest princess suddenly heard the crying of a palace maid coming from behind the rockery.
Just as she was about to go over and ask what was going on, she heard the maid sobbing, "Lady Liu, today is the eldest princess's fifth birthday. I know that she was the one you were most worried about during your lifetime."
"You should have seen in heaven that His Majesty still loves the eldest princess very much. You can go with peace of mind..."
"Lady Liu, you died so unjustly... It's a pity that I am incompetent and cannot avenge you..."
The eldest princess paused and the sweet smile on her face froze instantly.
what? !
What did she just hear?!
Who is Concubine Liu?
Are you referring to her mother?
But wasn't my mother already demoted to a commoner by my father? So the "Lady Liu" that the maid was talking about must not be my mother, right?
But...but she is clearly my mother's daughter!
If the person the maid was talking about wasn't my mother, then who could it be?
The eldest princess could not accept this bolt from the blue and ran quickly towards the sound.
The palace maid was crying. When she saw the eldest princess, she was suddenly stunned, and then her face showed an unconcealable panic.
She knelt down at a loss, her eyes wandering as she asked, "Princess, why are you here?!"
"Your servant, your servant pays respect to the Grand Princess..."
The eldest princess has a very good temper and is usually very gentle even to the lowest-ranking palace servants.
But at this moment, she did not ask the maid to get up, but looked at her in disbelief and asked: "What did you just say?!"
"Whose spirit in heaven?!"
“Who died so unjustly?!”
"Isn't my mother doing well in Lixuan Pavilion? What do you mean by that..."
The maid's eyes flickered a few times, and she seemed even more panicked: "I didn't say anything, you heard it wrong."
"Princess, just pretend you know nothing and have not seen me today. Knowing too much will not do you any good..."
"If Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine finds out that you already know about this, I am really worried that you will be in danger..."
"Princess, please go back and continue playing."
Little did she know that the more the maid said this, the more suspicious and anxious the princess became.
Tears welled up in her beautiful peach blossom eyes. She looked at the maid anxiously and asked, "Who are you?"
"What happened to my mother?"
"What does it have to do with Empress Chen?"
"Please! Tell me, please?"
The maid bit her lip, seeming to be in a difficult situation.
She looked around and confirmed that this place was hidden and no one would come over for the time being. Then she lowered her voice and shook her head and said, "Princess, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the Queen Mother has issued an order. Anyone who dares to let you know this news will be beaten to death!"
"I don't want to die! I really don't want to die!"
"So, so please forgive me for not being able to tell you..."
The five-year-old princess already knew what being beaten to death meant.
The more this happened, the more doubts she had in her heart.
What on earth was going on that made the Imperial Grandmother issue such an order?
She looked at the palace maid earnestly and promised solemnly: "Yun'er promises you that she will not let anyone else know. You told me!"
"If the Empress Dowager didn't know that it was you who said it, she wouldn't blame you, let alone have you executed."
"Sister palace maid, please tell Yun'er what happened to my mother, okay? Yun'er really wants to know..."
Just thinking about that possibility, she felt she couldn't bear it...
The maid looked at the princess with sympathy and pity in her eyes. She sighed heavily and said, "Princess, I shouldn't have said anything too much. It's just that I have received the favor of Lady Liu before, so I couldn't help but report this good news to her today. I thought that if she knew that you were doing well, her spirit in heaven would rest in peace."
"Actually...actually, Noble Lady Liu was ordered to be executed by His Majesty a long time ago, and was later posthumously conferred the title of Noble Lady."
"You were still staying at the Duke Dingguo's mansion at that time. The Queen Mother sent you out of the palace because she didn't want you to know the news."
"Afterwards, the Queen Mother and His Majesty both issued strict orders, so, so that's why no one dared to tell you about this..."
The eldest princess took several steps back, and her small body hit the rockery behind her.
Her eyes widened, tears welling up in them, and she shook her head in disbelief: "No! This is not true!"
"Isn't my mother imprisoned in Lixuan Pavilion? Why did my father order her death?"
"What did mother do wrong? I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
The maid looked at her pleadingly: "Princess, please keep your voice down. If other people are attracted here and know that I told you these things, I will be dead..."
