"This wasn't my teaching! Children say whatever comes to mind!" Lady Hu explained in a panic.
Drive away the little princess?
Curse Bingzhou as a barbaric wasteland of birds that don't lay eggs?
Either one of these offenses was enough to bring utter disaster upon her and her son.
Those imperial censors didn't care whether you were a noble lady or a prince.
Furthermore, the upright and virtuous censors mostly came from the Confucian School, and just before this, Huhai had even cursed Fu Qing!
Fu Qing was still unmarried, and her suitors from all across the Hundred Schools of Thought could form a line stretching from Xianyang to Linzi.
Therefore, they absolutely could not let Fu Qing go report to the King first and spread the news to Bingzhou. Otherwise, to appease the wrath that might come from Bingzhou, those censors would definitely make a sacrificial lamb out of her and her son.
The entire imperial court would not tolerate them.
Thus, Lady Hu ordered the guards to pull the little princess and Huhai apart, and she dragged Huhai straight to the Qinian Palace.
