Chapter 110
Mother Hu looked at her with a smile: "What do you want to say?"
"Then... did I ask?" Ruyi looked at Gu Zhiyin, as if to say, "Princess, please don't be angry if I say something wrong."
Gu Zhiyin smiled softly: "If there is anything else between you and me, ask."
Ruyi is someone who is closer to her than Mother Hu, and Gu Zhiyin is very tolerant of her.
Besides, Ruyi is not the kind of person who relies on favor to become spoiled.
"The old princess sent Zhu Qi to the Princess Consort. Was she planting a spy to keep an eye on her?" Ruyi asked with wide eyes after getting Gu Zhiyin's approval.
“No.” Gu Zhiyin shook her head affirmatively and said, “Grandmother is not that kind of person. If she didn’t trust me, she wouldn’t have handed over the power of the palace to me.”
And she could feel the love her grandmother had for her.
Mother Hu touched her nose with an embarrassed expression. Wasn't she the one who was sent by Jiang to be by the Princess' side to monitor her every move?
But now she has turned from evil to good.
Mother Hu continued, "Indeed, the old princess doesn't need to do that. Even if she doesn't manage the household affairs of the palace, everyone in the palace still follows her lead."
Some people's prestige does not need to be established by the power in their hands.
Ruyi heard this and patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

"That's good." Ruyi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, and then she talked about something else: "The Princess of the County suggested that the Princess work with the housekeeper. I was so happy when I saw the Princess's face when she came out. She must be very grateful to the Princess of the County in her heart."
Gu Zhiyin brought Ruyi to Huitang. Mother Hu didn't know about this yet. She was a little surprised at the moment, and then looked at Gu Zhiyin with admiration: "The County Princess's move is smart. Giving away part of the power of the family can win the heart of the Princess. The Princess will always remember your kindness in the future."
This is better than suppressing people.
Gu Zhiyin smiled and said, "It's not that I'm trying to win over the princess. We're all members of the Fu family. I don't want my mother to have any grudges or alienation with us in the future. She'll feel like an outsider. People's hearts can easily change. The Pingyang Palace is very harmonious and makes people feel warm."
She cherishes this precious warmth of home.
Mother Hu looked at the faint smile on Gu Zhiyin's face and nodded in understanding.
The old princess was of noble status and had always been in charge of the palace, so naturally everyone in the palace obeyed her. The princess was also the second wife, so her status was already inferior. Facing the old princess as her mother-in-law, even if she was not given the power to be in charge of the household, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only swallow her anger and dared not resist at all.
But when the Princess of the County had just got married, the old princess bypassed the princess and handed over the full power of household management to her. Not to mention the families of dukes and princes, even ordinary officials did not have the courage to do so. This was not only the old princess's love for the Princess of the County, but also a warning to the servants in the mansion.
Don’t think that the Princess of the County is young and can bully her just because you are in the palace!
Everyone in the palace obeys the Princess's orders. The Princess sees this. Over time, will she become jealous and resentful?
She had been married to the Pingyang Palace for more than ten years, and she had been obedient and raised the legitimate son and daughter of the previous princess without any complaints. But in the end, she was overtaken by the Princess of the County. Even if the mother and son are filial now, will the princess be willing to accept this after a long time?
The consequence of being unwilling to accept something is that you have to fight and seize it.
Rather than becoming enemies in the end, it is better to make the princess feel at ease now.
