Chapter 55 Why do people write?
Seeing that the two were in a good mood, the queen prepared to help her son again.

"Yier, you kept going to your father's study these days just for this matter?"

Chu Yi nodded, not hiding anything: "I know that my father used to farm in the fields himself, so I thought there should be relevant books there."

The emperor laughed and patted Chu Yi on the shoulder: "Well done."

"Jinshu, is there anything you want to eat? Auntie can ask them to make it."

Ye Jinshu began to think about what to eat for dinner, but before he could figure it out, a shrill cry suddenly came from outside the door, instantly breaking the happy atmosphere among the four people.

Ye Jinshu exclaimed, as expected, the person who was supposed to come finally came.

"Royal brother! Royal sister-in-law! You have to make the decision for our sister!" Princess Zhaoyang rushed into the Yikun Palace with Cheng Yu, whose cheeks were still red and swollen.

The sadness in his words suddenly became sharp when he saw Ye Jinshu being held in the queen's palm and coaxed with tenderness.

She didn't bother to complain anymore, and directly pulled Cheng Yu, who was still kneeling beside her, to her side, pointed at Cheng Yu's face and said viciously to Ye Jinshu: "Royal brother! Look at your niece's face. Today, Ye Jinshu came to the Marquis' Mansion for no reason and slapped my Yu'er. Please, Royal brother, take care of it!"

The brother-sister relationship between Princess Zhaoyang and the emperor is pretty good, which is why she dares to be so domineering.

But after Princess Zhaoyang said this, she keenly noticed that her brother and sister-in-law seemed different from usual.

Not to mention why she and Cheng Yu had been kneeling for so long since they entered the door and they had not been asked to stand up, based on the scene she saw when she just entered, Princess Zhaoyang understood that Ye Jinshu must have said something in front of the emperor and empress in advance.

Princess Zhaoyang could only temporarily stop accusing Ye Jinshu and instead take a tragic route, pushing Cheng Yu out.

"Brother, sister-in-law, look at Yu'er, my poor child. What did she do wrong? She is just a lowly servant. Why did she let Yu'er suffer like this?"

The emperor didn't speak until this time: "Zhaoyang, you still don't know where you are wrong. Slaves are also human beings. People who are extremely humble in your eyes may also be regarded as treasures by others."

"Yu'er damaged other people's treasures, so she must pay the price."

This blatant favoritism was so obvious that even Ye Jinshu would blush when he heard it.

No, actually, she just thought that Xiao Cui was about to die, so, well, how should I put it.

Ye Jinshu didn't know either.

Anyway, the emperor made her blush.

Princess Zhaoyang was not convinced when she heard this: "Brother Royal, what you mean is that our Yu'er is just like a lowly maid, and she deserves to be beaten like this, right?"

The emperor also realized that he had been too biased. He gave the queen a look, and the queen immediately understood and prepared to respond.

But Chu Yi, who normally would never get involved in such disputes, actually spoke up: "Mother, can you cover Jinshu's ears?"

Ye Jinshu:?
A lady should be on guard too? What is there that I, the Princess of Anping, cannot listen to?!

Ye Jinshu said, "No, I want to listen too."

Chu Yi suddenly reached out and touched Ye Jinshu's head: "Jinshu, be obedient."

This voice was filled with indescribable tenderness and affection, which instantly gave Ye Jinshu goosebumps all over his body.

What happened to Chu Yi? Why did he suddenly act like this towards her? This had never happened before!
Could it be that she had stolen Ye Ruoyan's sachet, so Ye Ruoyan was very angry and wanted Chu Yi to punish her!
While Ye Jinshu was daydreaming, the Queen asked a nanny who knew some martial arts to come forward and cover Ye Jinshu's ears with her hands that were filled with internal strength.

Ye Jinshu's world suddenly became extremely quiet, and he could only see the lips of the person in front of him opening and closing.

Seeing that Ye Jinshu could no longer hear him, Chu Yi spoke again: "Aunt, do you still remember the Ye family's achievements?" Princess Zhaoyang naturally remembered, but so what? The people were dead and the family was in decline. What was the use of achievements? They still had to rely on the royal family.

A mere princess would have to kneel down and behave herself when she saw her.

"Remember, no matter how many achievements you have, you can't take them with you when you are born and you can't take them with you when you die. You can't just use your achievements to humiliate the living!"

"Isn't it an insult when Auntie says Jinshu is an orphan?"

"Isn't she an orphan?! Is it because she is an orphan that she has no respect for her parents and actually came to the Marquis' Mansion?"

"It is you, aunt, who does not know the difference between respect and inferiority." Chu Yi interrupted Princess Zhaoyang, and his words were filled with unprecedented majesty, which scared Princess Zhaoyang.

The queen knew that her son would probably say something unpleasant if he continued talking given his temper, so she quickly interrupted him and let her say the unpleasant words.

"Zhaoyang, do you still have the bearing of a princess? You can be here safely and unreasonably now, all thanks to the Ye family who sacrificed their lives for the country. It would be fine if you are not grateful, but now you are speaking rudely to Jinshu. You are unworthy of your status as a princess!"

The Queen's words were very harsh, especially since Princess Zhaoyang and Cheng Yu had not been allowed to stand up since they came in, and they were still kneeling. This was a real shame for Zhaoyang, who had been proud since childhood.

"My Royal Brother and His Majesty's wife have made up their minds to help Ye Jinshu today, right?"

"Zhaoyang, you are wrong in this matter. You are unworthy of the name Zhaoyang. You will be punished by house arrest for one year and your title will be revoked. As for Yu'er's injury, it was indeed Jinshu who went too far. I will send the imperial physician to treat Yu'er. Jinshu, I will also punish her."

The emperor made the final decision and gave both sides a hundred lashes.

Princess Zhaoyang, no, the princess and Cheng Yu were given ninety-nine strokes of the cane, and Ye Jinshu was given one stroke.

Because Ye Jinshu had her ears covered the whole time, she didn't learn about her final punishment until she was sent back to Anping Palace by the Emperor and Empress.

He was only grounded for three months?!
Why only three months?
She wanted to be under house arrest for three years and enjoy the days where she would never be forced to attend various palace banquets.

Ye Jinshu's sad expression was seen clearly by the eunuch who was delivering the imperial eunuch's message. After returning, the eunuch reported the little princess's expression to his master, so that night, Ye Jinshu received a huge reward.

The reason for the reward was that these things were considered suitable for Anping Palace, so they were sent here.

"Are these all given to me by Uncle Emperor?" Ye Jinshu asked.

"My lord, these were specially picked for you by the Emperor."

"No, I mean, twenty boxes would be too many. My Anping Palace can't hold them all."

"Yes, Princess! I will report this right away."

No, what are you reporting?
In the end, the twenty boxes of rewards were brought into Anping Palace.

The next day, Ye Jinshu was given two choices.

For the time being, we will move to another palace until Anping Palace is built bigger.

Living in Anping Palace, I watched it being built bigger.

Ye Jinshu:?
