When Peach Blossoms and Willows Turn Green Again

“Elder Sister! What do we do? His Majesty wants Huai'an to marry for peace!”

“What can I do? When I suggested switching the babies back then, you refused and even accused me of meddling!” Lu Wanzhen was furious just thinking about it.

“Then think of something now! Aren't you the emperor's most favored consort?” Lu Wanyan relied on her Imperial Tutor father while she was unmarried, her prince husband after she married, and her elder sister the consort whenever something important came up.

“What else can we do? Find a prince for her to marry!”

“I won't let her spend her life the way you have!”

“Then there's no choice. Send her to Hongluo Temple to become a nun!” Lu Wanzhen gestured for Jinchuan to come over. “Hurry and escort the princess consort back to the manor. Pick an auspicious day to send the princess to the mountain!”

What! Enter the palace? The future of the entire manor was resting on her shoulders? “No, no, this can't be right! Nanny Zhou, you must have heard wrong, right?” Nanny Zhou replied, “You really are to enter the palace, Your Highness. This old servant heard every word. Otherwise, you'd have to marry off to another kingdom! Your Highness, you've always been so free-spirited. How will you ever manage in the palace?” “It's over! It's over! Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I… I couldn't become the emperor's favorite no matter which one of you I picked!” Tao Yao was terrified. She hurriedly told Luoxue to pack their valuables so they could run away. Nanny Zhou cried, “Oh, my little darling, what are you thinking? You're still hoping to become the emperor's favorite? The prince is sending you to the palace just to be a decoration.” Tao Yao put down the valuables and muttered, “Being a lucky little ornament doesn't sound so hard… right?”
