The princess regretted it.

Chapter 264 Breaking up

Jin An stopped in front of Princess Jiaoyu, her red lips parted slightly. Her voice was low, but each word was as sharp as an ice knife: "Sister, what do you mean? Aunt Zhao has been in the palace for many years and is loyal and devoted. She was simply describing the splendor of the harem when our mother was alive. How can she be accused of making irresponsible remarks? Speaking of irresponsible remarks, isn't it Sister who repeatedly makes irresponsible remarks about our mother and the Crown Prince? Are you sure I won't take it seriously, or do you think that our father's favor allows you to act recklessly?"

Jin An raised his chin slightly, stared straight into Jiaoyu's eyes with a sharp gaze, and continued: "Sister, if you really want to apologize when you come here today, you should be careful in what you say and do, instead of confusing right and wrong and trying to convict others. I think your apology is fake, and your deliberate revenge is real. I have been tolerant many times out of consideration for our sisterly love, but you are getting more and more unreasonable. Do you really think I am easy to bully?" Her words became more and more sharp, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Jiaoyu's heart, making Jiaoyu's face even uglier.

Jiaoyu's face darkened, and she said angrily, "I came here with all my heart to apologize, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. It seems you really have a deep grudge against me. I know that as a legitimate princess, you hold a noble status."

But sister, have you ever thought about the fact that father only has two sons now, and who will bear the burden of the world in the future? Sister is very intelligent and will definitely understand the pros and cons of this. Don't let a momentary anger ruin your life." After saying this, Jiaoyu's face actually showed a look of satisfaction.

Jin An looked at her expression and said meaningfully, "Are you so sure that the emperor has only two sons? It's been a few days since my sister came out. Haven't you heard that the emperor agreed to the selection?" Jin An stopped there and said nothing more.

After hearing Jin'an's words, Jiaoyu's face turned even uglier. She felt there was no need to stay any longer. After all, she had done enough to apologize today, and her father would surely know. As for Jin'an's unwillingness to forgive her, there was nothing she could do. So she said angrily, "Sister, you are really naive. In that case, I, your elder sister, cannot say anything more. I will take my leave now! I hope you will consider this. After all, you are about to get married, and you still have a long way to go."

After saying that, Jiaoyu glanced at Jinan, turned around and left quickly with Xiangcao. Her back showed a sense of unwillingness and resentment, as if saying that today's humiliation would be avenged tomorrow.

After the two men left, Nanny Zhao hurried forward to apologize to Jin'an, "Princess, it was my fault for being impulsive. Princess Jiaoyu will surely resent you now. She is narrow-minded and might do some sinister tricks behind your back. I really couldn't bear to see you being humiliated by her, so I spoke out of turn. Princess, please punish me." Nanny Zhao was about to kneel down as she spoke, her face full of regret and self-blame, and her eyes were slightly red.

Jin An quickly turned around and supported her, preventing her from kneeling. Jin An softly said, "Mammy, don't blame yourself. I had no intention of reconciling with her, and she didn't come here to apologize sincerely. But she was able to return the Buddha statue of my mother, which also fulfilled one of my wishes. Mammy, you are really doing this for my own good. If you hadn't been by my side all these years, I really don't know how I would have survived those difficult days. To me, you are no longer an ordinary mammy, but a relative. If she holds a grudge against me for this, then come on, I won't be afraid of her." Jin An's eyes were firm and warm, and he gently patted Mammy Zhao's hand to comfort her.

When Zhao Mama heard Jin An's caring words, her eyes became moist. "Our princess has suffered so much over the years. I only regret that I can't share more of the burden with you. You are so kind and generous, you will surely be blessed by God. From now on, I will live my life only for you, princess. No matter what storms come, I will stay by your side and will never let those villains hurt you in the slightest." Zhao Mama's voice was choked with sobs, but she was extremely firm.

"Madam, I know. I'm fine!" Jin An held Madam Zhao's hand tightly and said softly.

On this side, the master and servant were deeply in love with each other, while on the other side, Jiaoyu was walking with a smell of vanilla. Along the way, Jiaoyu was secretly cursing Jin An in her heart. Ever since she discovered that Jin An had changed, she felt that Jin An was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Vanilla followed beside her and looked at Princess Jiaoyu's face, feeling uneasy. She was afraid that Princess Jiaoyu would return to her residence still angry, and then she might be in trouble.

So she whispered, "Your Highness, don't be angry. Princess Jin'an has already been engaged, so she will be married soon. There's only a little time left for her to hop around. After she gets married, she won't be the only one in power in the palace anymore. Then, your life in the palace will be much smoother."

Jiaoyu's expression softened slightly after hearing Xiangcao's words. She snorted coldly, "Hmph, even if she wants to get married, I won't let her have it easy. Does she think she can rest easy with a good marriage? Want a smooth marriage? I'll definitely give her a big gift to let her know the consequences of going against me."

Xiangcao looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, this... If you provoke Princess Jin'an again, if the emperor finds out, it will probably be bad for Your Highness."

Jiao Yu's face was stern, and she spoke in a cold voice, "Before, my mother and I were careless and didn't take precautions, so we accidentally fell into her trap. Now that we have completely torn our relationship with her, there is no need to worry anymore. We just need to act carefully and make sure that our father doesn't notice. Today, I wanted to use the matter of the Guanyin statue to humiliate her, but I didn't expect her to be so patient and let that Zhao Mama say some harsh words to her. I will never be able to relieve the hatred in my heart until I get revenge."

The two returned to Jiaoyu Palace, where they found a palace maid waiting. Jiaoyu approached, carefully scrutinized her, and said in a cold tone, "Yundou, why are you here with me instead of serving my second brother?"

Yundou bowed respectfully to Jiaoyu, then responded calmly, "Your Highness, my uncle has something important to report to the Empress, and has specifically instructed that the Second Prince not be informed. Therefore, I have no choice but to come and seek an audience with Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to lead me to meet the Empress."

"Uncle has something to say to mother? What is it? Why can't I know?" Jiaoyu asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Yundou lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Your Highness, my uncle only instructed that you must tell Her Majesty in person. I am really not in a position to do so. Please don't make it difficult for me. As for whether Her Majesty knows whether to tell the Princess, my uncle didn't specifically mention this."

Jiaoyu frowned, feeling somewhat displeased, but realizing her uncle must have a reason for his actions, she turned to Xiangcao and said, "Wait here. I'll take Yundou to see Mother." Then, she led Yundou towards Concubine Zhang's palace.
