The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law
Chapter 909 - 903: Punishment

Chapter 909: Chapter 903: Punishment

The Imperial Family has always valued etiquette and propriety, seeing a Princess behave so arrogantly and unguardedly is indeed... quite rare.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager spoke rightly, she is not a child anymore. She is the same age as Jin Zijin, thirty years old, yet she still acts as whimsically as a child.

Could this really be a result of being spoiled, spoiled by the Emperor?

The Emperor does not seem like an incompetent ruler, why would he do this?

In order to make up for his neglect towards Xiao Qinqin, he became a powerful father, allowing his daughter to act willfully.

But, Feng Zhao knew very well in her heart that her reliance was merely on the Emperor’s favor. If one day the Emperor passes away, and the throne goes to the Empress’s son, her good days would come to an end.

But who is to blame? Knowing that things change, yet deliberately offending those who should not be offended.

She was just a harmless girl; if she could have kept to herself, the Empress, a woman capable of great things, might not treat her kindly, but wouldn’t trouble herself to make her life difficult.

Gu Youyou suddenly felt fortunate that the child was switched years ago. If not for the switch, today’s Jin Zijin might have been like her, a second-generation heir unable to firmly hold onto power even if the Emperor passed the throne to him.

"Moning, say something, look at her, see what you’ve spoiled her into."

The Empress Dowager suddenly felt helpless and had to ask the Emperor for assistance.

The Emperor paused, shifting his gaze away from the Jade Pendant, clenched his hand tightly around it.

He faced the Empress Dowager, speaking gravely, "Mother speaks rightly; it’s my fault, I spoiled her. The Princess has shown great disrespect to the Empress Dowager. Come, take her to Zongrenfu to reflect properly."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

What’s going on?

The Princess had disrespected the Empress Dowager not just once or twice, there were even more serious instances, and the Emperor had at most only reprimanded her, but when had he ever locked her up?

Locked up, and in Zongrenfu?

Feng Zhao could hardly believe her ears.

Impossible? No, it couldn’t be true.

The Emperor really wanted to lock her up in Zongrenfu?

"Father, I am Feng Zhao, what’s wrong with you?"

Could it be that the Emperor had encountered some troubles, and was in a bad mood, thus treating her this way?

The Emperor did not look at her but only told the Empress Dowager calmly, "Mother speaks extremely rightly, Feng Zhao is not young anymore, yet still acts willfully and disregards elders; we can’t treat her as a child and indulge her. Since I can’t teach her well, and Xiao Jinfei can’t teach her well either, it’s better to send her to Zongrenfu to properly learn some rules. Whenever she understands and learns, she can then come out."

The Empress paused for a moment before a smile gradually appeared on her cheeks.

She had long noticed the Emperor’s filial nature, the older the Empress Dowager got, the more filial the Emperor became. She dared to disrespect the Empress Dowager in front of the Emperor; it serves her right.

Of course, it related to the incident earlier where someone tore her dress and angered her, she deserved it.

However, sending her to Zongrenfu seemed to be a harsh punishment.

And Feng Zhao was left terrified.

Her only reliance had been the Emperor’s limitless affection, and now that the Emperor wanted to lock her up in Zongrenfu, whom could she depend on?

Others would be good enough not to kick her while she’s down.

But even the Empress Dowager felt it went too far; Zongrenfu was the Imperial Family’s prison, locking the Princess in Zongrenfu would not look good for the Imperial Family’s reputation.
