A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace

Chapter 1336: Chapter 1334

"It’s just because you’re a princess that I have no choice!"

"Otherwise, what makes you think you can compete with me?"

"The bond between him and me is from our childhood, and I’ve given birth to his eldest son! What do you have? Just an empty princess title!"

"Hahaha... How ridiculous!"

The Eldest Princess was furious, but she didn’t react violently; instead, she clenched her fists tightly, her face pale.

"You..."

She suddenly stood up and pointed at Maternal Aunt Tao.

"Get out, right now!"

Maternal Aunt Tao rolled her eyes slowly.

"I’ll leave then. It’s not like I want to be in this unlucky place!"

"Six years without a son, I’m afraid standing here too long is inauspicious!"

After she finished speaking, she snorted, turned her head, and left.

The Eldest Princess trembled with anger, trying to speak several times but failed to utter a word.

Xiao Luo hurried forward to console her.

"Calm down, my lady!"

"Don’t be angry, don’t stoop to her level!"

But the Eldest Princess shook her head, her face worsening, her breath unstable, and her complexion growing uglier.

"My lady, what’s wrong?"

The Eldest Princess clutched her chest and was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, she rushed to a corner and vomited violently into a spittoon.

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

"Princess!"

Xiao Luo was terrified.

"What’s happening to you, Princess? Someone, call someone!"

Although it was Maternal Aunt Tao who angered the Princess to this extent, if anything serious happened to the Princess, it would definitely be her responsibility.

If investigated thoroughly, she couldn’t escape blame.

So she was extremely flustered, more so than anyone else.

The Eldest Princess stood up, her face pale.

"I... ugh!"

"I’m fine!"

Xiao Luo handed over a handkerchief and helped her sit down.

"There’s some freshly poured hot tea here, rinse your mouth first. I’ll go call a doctor!"

After speaking, she hurriedly walked out.

The Eldest Princess quickly stopped her.

"No need!"

"I’m fine! It’s just a rush of anger, don’t worry, I feel much better already!"

Xiao Luo was very surprised.

"Better?"

"Princess, you look terrible. How can you be okay without seeing a doctor?"

"Don’t worry, I’m okay, I’ll be right back!"

The Eldest Princess suddenly got very angry.

"I said no, and I mean no!"

"Since when do you have a say in my matters?"

Xiao Luo felt extremely wronged.

"Princess, I’m only doing this for your sake..."

The Eldest Princess ignored her and turned her head away.

Xiao Luo had no choice but to return.

Only then did the Eldest Princess breathe a sigh of relief and commanded.

"I vomited my breakfast, and I’m a bit hungry now! Go get me another breakfast!"

Xiao Luo was somewhat incredulous.

"Yes! I will go right away!"

On her way back, she was full of questions, mumbling to herself.

"What’s wrong with the Princess? Why has she suddenly changed so much?"

"Her health is so poor, yet she doesn’t want to consult a doctor?"

"She is a Princess, if anything happens, what should we do!"

She grew more fearful the more she thought about it.

After ordering the meal at the kitchen, she took the opportunity to go to Maternal Aunt Tao’s courtyard.

...

Xiao Luo wanted to save her own life, avoid being marginalized in the residence, not be bullied by Maternal Aunt Tao.

After being retaliated against by Maternal Aunt Tao several times, she finally became a pawn for Maternal Aunt Tao.

The information she passed on wasn’t much, but still useful, which made Maternal Aunt Tao value her greatly.

Seeing her come, Maternal Aunt Tao was somewhat eager, asking repeatedly.

"What was the situation when you entered the palace yesterday?"

"Did the Empress or Consort Zheng say anything?"

The Emperor is busy with state affairs, surely he won’t bother with trivial matters like this!

So, it’s just up to the Empress and Consort Zheng. If they have no stance, it means... the Eldest Princess truly has no backing.

It’s just a matter of time before she takes the place of the main wife accurately. Even if not a main wife, she would be the most favored concubine!

Xiao Luo hesitated for a long time before shaking her head, claiming ignorance.

"I’m useless, couldn’t gather any information from the palace!"

The conversations of the masters are always guarded by inner palace maids, with someone specifically watching them.

Thus, not a whisper could be heard.

"But..."

Xiao Luo thought for a moment and decided to tell Maternal Aunt Tao about the Eldest Princess’s reaction this morning.

"Our Lady has never acted like this before!"

"Not only did she vomit this time, but she also refused for me to call a doctor, which is very strange!"

Maternal Aunt Tao frowned deeply, greatly alarmed.

"She vomited? And didn’t call a doctor?"

"Are you sure, absolutely certain?"

Xiao Luo hastily knelt down.

"I saw it myself, please, investigate further!"

Maternal Aunt Tao shut her eyes, showing a hint of fear.

"I..."

"I understand, you may leave now!"

Xiao Luo said no more, responded to the command, and then left quietly.

From her entrance to exit, it only took about a quarter of an hour.

The Tao family was desolate and empty, no one noticed.

(The Tao family is part of the water-clear civil officials, they had no money, naturally, with no throngs of maids and servants, just a few in each room to suffice!)

...

In the main courtyard.

The breakfast was brought out anew.

The Eldest Princess glanced at Xiao Luo, who looked as usual, then at the quite decent meal, and smiled as she asked.

"Were these dishes given by someone, or did you request them?"

Xiao Luo answered truthfully.

"They were meant for another concubine, but seeing me there they let me take it first!"

"Said that concubine had a hard time serving our lord today, might wake up late!"

Evidently, this last sentence was crucial.

But the Eldest Princess didn’t care, picking up the meal and eating over half a bowl before she set down her chopsticks.

"I’m full, you may clear the table!"

"And... I’m weary, you don’t have to come up, I want to sleep a bit more!"

Xiao Luo hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly.

"I’ll take my leave!"

...

From the Eldest Princess’s side.

Once Xiao Luo left, she clutched the spittoon and vomited violently again.

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

She was somewhat surprised, even desperate.

"What’s going on? Could it be... pregnant again?"

She had already given birth to two daughters; if it was another daughter this time, she might never have a day of prominence in her life.

Though she wanted to get divorced.

But getting divorced, she would end up in the same struggle elsewhere.

Her husband treated her well, she was once cherished and loved.

She could never forget the sweetness of those days.

It was because she only gave birth to daughters, nearly cutting off their lineage, that he turned to the concubine!

"It’s all my fault!"

After some thought, her expression suddenly changed, hate emerged on her face.

The Tao family were despicable and shameless, Prince Consort is unworthy of trust, ungrateful, she mustn’t let her mother down again!

Yes, she couldn’t succumb!

One side faced acknowledging her fault, while the other refused to concede, two voices clashed violently in her mind.

Eventually, thinking of her fourth sister,

the last vestige of her regal dignity as a princess overpowered her timidity.
