Chapter 123: Prince Princess

Qing Palace
Princess Qing was telling Mu Yu to sort out the clothes in the cage, while Jiang Xiaolou was standing in the corridor and teasing a thrush. Chaoyun quickly stepped forward to report: "The princess, the third majesty is visiting, the prince sent the servants and maidservants to invite the princess and the two princesses to a banquet."
Concubine Qing was taken aback, and there was a hint of surprise on her face: "His Royal Highness No. 3 comes to the house, at most just a few words with the prince, why did the prince specially hold a banquet today?"
The action in Jiang Xiaolou's hand stopped for a moment, but he didn't answer immediately.
Princess Qing couldn't wait for Jiang Xiaolou's reply, so she had to say to Chaoyun: "Go and say to the prince, we will prepare a little bit, and we will definitely participate on time. By the way, report what we have just said to Princess Yunzhu and ask her Prepare early."
"Yes." Chaoyun walked away quickly.
The doubt on the face of the princess did not alleviate at all. She walked towards Jiang Xiaolou and reminded: "The evening banquet...I always feel that something is wrong."
Jiang Xiaolou's surface had already returned to the peace of the past. He just smiled, put down the small ivory spoon in his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Maybe it's mother you are too worried."
Princess Qing's white face was full of disapproval: "I know the personality of the third prince very well, he will not come easily."
Mu Yu cautiously said: "The princess, the third majesty is now the future son-in-law of the prince, maybe it is for the arrangement of the marriage to discuss."
A smile slowly appeared on Princess Qing’s lips: "Discussing the marriage? We will get married in less than two months. The negotiation is over long ago. What's more, the prince’s wedding, everything has the rules of the palace, and there are What's worth discussing. Besides, the third prince is very cautious. Although Prince Qing is his future Yue family, he will not get too close to the prince, lest he be caught by others and say that they are colluding with each other."
Jiang Xiaolou smiled: "Although my mother is not interested in government affairs, she is not ignorant of these things."
Princess Qing sighed: "The capital is so big. I am neither blind nor deaf. Even if I reluctantly, the intrigue between these princes will pass." After she said she seemed to remember something, and told Mu Yu: "Tonight's Princess Danfeng doesn't have to attend the banquet. Since they are unmarried couples, they must avoid suspicion."
Mu Yu immediately responded and stepped back gently.
The dining room of King Qing's Mansion is called Jincuiyuan. Usually the hosts will sit together and have a meal. If they are unwell, they will be notified in advance. At this moment, cold dishes have been placed on the mahogany table in Jincuiyuan, such as prawns, celery, phoenix, amber peach kernels, sweet-scented lotus root, white chopped chicken, etc. The hot dishes will not be served until the hosts arrive.
When eating, King Qing was sitting upright, with Princess Qing sitting on his left hand, and Duguke sitting on his right. Duguke is dressed in an ochre gown, a white jade crown, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He is approachable, without the arrogance and arrogance of the prince, and people can't help but feel good.
Jiang Xiaolou sat at the lower head far away, just opposite Duguke. Today she is dressed very plain, just wearing a light green skirt, the black silk is gently rolled up, tied only with a hosta, a plain white face looks more refined and refined. He Lianhui next to him is a small white face, smooth and delicate skin, picturesque eyebrows, watery eyes, and a rosy mouth under the bridge of his nose, which is also slightly smiling, and finds Dugu Ke's gaze fell on him, his cheeks flushed unconsciously, and he couldn't hide his shyness. Although not as bright and brilliant as Jiang Xiaolou, it is also graceful and elegant. The two sit side by side, one with a glamorous face and the other with a gentle and elegant appearance.
While Duguke was looking at it, the maid had brought hot dishes. For a while, braised shark fins, fried shrimps, soft fried scallops, live fish in thick soup, steamed duck, walnut sweet cheese, etc. were placed on a table full of steam. Teng Teng, the fragrance overflows.
Duguke just smiled at King Qing and said, "I'm really harassing today, the princess is bothering."
Princess Qing smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness is serious, and I also want to thank you for the prey you sent. Tomorrow I will ask the chef to slice the meat out and freeze it, and it will taste even better in spring—"
"The princess does not know that deer is a fairy beast. It has a pure Yang and longevity, can pass the governor's veins, and eat good grass. Therefore, eating venison in winter is the best. If the princess allows, I have a good at cooking venison. Cook, I will send him over tomorrow to roast the venison personally and invite you to taste it." Duguke answered with a smile.
King Qing smiled slightly:
I don’t forget me when I go out hunting. It’s hard for the three princes to have a heart.
Although he said this, he was hesitant in his heart. He knew the personality of the three princes. Is it to win the relationship? He suppressed the doubts in his heart, and put on a more peaceful smile on his face, "In the future, the three majesty can also come to the mansion often to sit and sit. Playing chess and tasting tea with me is a family, so why bother to be so alienated. "
Hearing what he said, Duguke just smiled and nodded, but his eyes fell on Jiang Xiaolou without a trace.
Jiang Xiaolou noticed it keenly, and frowned slightly. Today, the Third Highness seemed to be paying too much attention to herself, but she became more vigilant in her heart, but she didn't show any expression on her face.
He Lianhui played the appearance of everyone's ladies very well. No one asked her and she didn't say a word. She just lowered her head and moved the chopsticks without even lifting her eyelids.
Duguke has been quietly looking at Jiang Xiaolou and evaluating her. Seeing that the other party clearly noticed his eyes, but did not show the slightest surprise on his face, he couldn't help but smile, turning his head and continuing to chat with King Qing. Jiang Xiaolou just sat with eyes and nose, and brought a pair of ears, silently observing Duguke's words and deeds. The three princes didn’t talk much, but they were all on the point. Whether King Qing talked about poems and songs or current affairs, he knew everything and knew everything, even his Majesty was worrying about the Yanzhou drought. He also had a countermeasure, and he took it out to discuss with King Qing, and it was obvious that this humanity, Taoism and Martial Strategy was of a good state.
King Qing is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very sensitive to his own interests. When he found that Duguke was talking to him, when he looked at Jiang Xiaolou repeatedly, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind. I understood everything in an instant. First, I was very annoyed. Jiang Xiaolou was a daughter of a business sect. How could Duguke abandon Helianxiao and choose her? Soon he thought about it, Helianxiao’s mother and second brother did do too many stupid things. The third prince is a shrewd person, and it is understandable that he is unwilling to marry her. After all, as a prince that the emperor values, he needs someone who understands. The prince and concubine, who is reasonable and knowledgeable, helps him participate in the power struggle without distraction. The original purpose of his marriage with the Three Royal Highness was to maintain the prosperous prestige of the Palace of Qing Dynasty, and also to win one more bargaining chip. If you think about it this way, it is to change people, as long as it is the daughter of the Palace of Qing Dynasty, whether she is a biological daughter or a righteous daughter. , What's the relationship?
King Qing's head turned quickly, the expression on his face changed again and again, and finally harmony remained as before. In a banquet, the guests and the host had a great time and were harmonious. After they finished their meals, everyone was about to get up, but King Qing suddenly said, "Xiaolou--"
Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyes and looked at King Qing quietly: "Yes."
King Qing said with a smile: "His Royal Highness seldom comes to my house as a guest. I should have accompany me personally, but I just drank more wine and felt a headache. The princess will take care of me later. It is inconvenient to accompany me. You can confess your guilt to your Highness. So, let you personally accompany the Third Highness to go around."
This is the meaning of letting Jiang Xiaolou be the local guide. Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly, and did not refuse: "Follow the order of the prince."
"Hey, what is your name? You should be called your father. How many times have I told you, why can't I change it?"
King Qing said such a sentence, shaking a table of people on the spot. Not only Jiang Xiaolou, but even Princess Qing looked at King Qing with an unbelievable look, asking whether the sun came out from the west. Although King Qing has accepted Jiang Xiaolou's existence now, it can be past. In the end, there is no way to easily eliminate the suspicion, at best, it is just like respect. Why did King Qing suddenly become affectionate after meeting and saying polite greetings? Concubine Qing only felt that her hairs were standing upright, and looked at King Qing suspiciously again, the more she couldn't understand what he was thinking.
Duguke glanced at King Qing, but his smile deepened. It was an old fox, but after a few words, the other party immediately understood.
King Qing didn't seem to see everyone's surprised eyes, and smiled: "Hui'er."
"Yes, father." Helianhui said softly.
Why does King Qing's smile become more and more necessary: ​​"You also accompany the three princes and them, don't neglect the distinguished guests."
A blush appeared on Helianhui's white face, but she bowed and said, "Yes, my daughter obeyed."
Her well-being and kindness seemed to be more and more popular at this moment. Princess Qing glanced at her. For some reason, she felt a little weird, but she couldn't tell why, she could only suppress the full of suspiciousness and help her stumbled Qing. The king goes out.
Jiang Xiaolou accompanied Duguke around the garden. Her voice was very pleasant: "This is the rockery that the prince transported from Mingzhou; that is the Liulitang, which is planted with peonies from Liangzhou, Chinese rose from Yuzhou, and from Cangzhou. Water lotus and Begonia in Jizhou; in front is Jiusitang, father’s study; the yard next to it with toon trees is father’s drawing room; behind the garden is the inner house, and the middle is the old princess’s... here is Chunhui Hall, next to Hongye Pavilion... Yingxia Pavilion... Qiuhezhai."
Along the way, pavilions, pavilions, white jade railings, rockery, flowers and trees, rich and natural, the scenery changes, the opening and closing is wonderful, it is indeed a wonderful mansion, but today Duguke is not here to enjoy the scenery, he smiled and said: "Mingyue Princess, you I have introduced many of these to me, but which one is your yard?"
Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly and pointed to Fangcao Pavilion not far from the other side: "It's there."
Standing on the high bridge and looking from a distance, Duguke saw a courtyard with white walls in the depths of the inner house. Looking from a distance, the red plum blossoms and the fragrance floated. He couldn't help but smiled: "It seems that the princess does live in an elegant place. ."
Jiang Xiaolou had a reserved smile on the floor, and said noncommittal: "This is my mother's love for me. She knew that I like plum blossoms, so she planted plum blossoms around Fangcao Pavilion. Every winter, I can smell it. The scent of plum blossoms is dark and pleasant."
Duguke nodded and continued to walk with her. From beginning to end, He Lianhui just smiled, one step behind, she looked like a young noble woman with dignified behavior, because she felt very shy, it was inconvenient to talk more.
Compared with her, Jiang Xiaolou is generous, and her behavior can't be seen in the slightest, because she has been running her own business, and her knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary boudoir girls. Duguke talked with her, no matter whether it's the wind and the snow, today's major events, and even the customs, customs and etiquette of various states, Jiang Xiaolou can talk freely without hindrance. However, Duguke casually mentioned: "I heard that Princess Mingyue is still doing business?"
Jiang Xiaolou gently curled his lips and said with a smile: "Yes, I still have many shops in my hands. Because of this, I can't be found in the palace during the day, and I always go around, there is no fixed number."
Duguke's brows frowned imperceptibly, and then he chuckled lightly: "The princess is a maverick, no wonder everyone knows what you are special."
Jiang Xiaolou is always easy to go out on weekdays, but she is a popular figure that everyone in the capital pays attention to. Sometimes she takes Xiaodie and Chu Han to inspect the shop, and people will quietly point to her and say: "Look, it's Mingyue Sheriff!"
In the eyes of everyone, as the princess, she often goes to downtown and restaurants, which is indeed too arbitrary.
Duguke's deep meaning Jiang Xiaolou understood when she heard that if an ordinary girl came out to show her face to do business, there was only one possibility, and she had to do it. Jiang Xiaolou could obviously give up her current life, but she was still stubborn, which made Duguke a little incomprehensible. Now that she is the Lord of Mingyue County, the Empress Empress has given so many rewards, and she loves her very much. If she is an ordinary woman, she will definitely choose a path that is easier to operate. For example, looking for a wealthy family to marry with your current status, and easily get rid of the status of a business woman, isn't it extremely easy? ! There are quite a few people in the capital who are willing to marry Jiang Xiaolou. Not to mention, the handsome and noble prince is willing to save his life and save people from the tiger's mouth. This matter has spread all over the capital and has become a joke of countless people after dinner. , Jiyunjiang Xiaolou is so beautiful that it is a good thing to let a man of such a distinguished status also forget his life. There are even more good deeds quietly wandering at the back door of the Qing Palace, wanting to see the true face of Mingyue Princess , To see how gorgeous she is.
Jiang Xiaolou didn't move a bit: "His Royal Highness, I am a person who can't live at home. What's more, this business is left to me by my father. If it ends here, not only will I be sorry for my biological father under Jiuquan, but I will also be in my heart. Can't bear it."
Hearing this, Duguke's tone was quite admiring: "So you are still a filial daughter."
Jiang Xiaolou didn't care what the other party thought, after all, the three princes had no meaning to her.
"What if your husband-in-law doesn't approve of your continued business operation in the future?" Duguke asked suddenly.
A slight smile appeared on Jiang Xiaolou: "If he minds, I won't get married at all."
Duguke couldn't help being stunned. Jiang Xiaolou's beautiful face was shining in the sun, his eyes were full of determination and no intention of joking, his heart was shocked for a while. At this moment, Duguke seemed to notice He Lianhui, who had been silent next to him, and smiled lightly on her face: "Princess Yunzhu doesn't seem to like to talk?"
He Lianhui smiled before saying a word, but his face blushed: "It's not that I don't like to talk, but my Highness is talking with Sister Xiaolou. I am clumsy and I don't know what to say. I'm afraid that I might make a mistake. Your Majesty is upset." She was full of self-humility in her speech, but she had a romantic attitude. With that weak face, she looked more and more lovely.
Duguke glanced at her again, the smile on her face seemed to pause. Jiang Xiaolou is far better than He Lianhui in terms of beauty and birth... He Lianhui is a serious princess after all. If he must choose one of the two princesses in the Qing Palace, he is very inclined to Jiang Xiaolou. But although Jiang Xiaolou's speech and demeanor just now were generous, he was too strong, and even made no secret of major national events, and had a unique view... But is such a wife really suitable for him? Before coming to the palace, he had made up his mind, but now he was hesitant.
Going forward, Jiang Xiaolou always maintained his own characteristics. He didn't seem to see Duguke's frowning and tighter brows, and continued to introduce him to the scenery of the palace. He was neither humble nor overbearing in his speech, but it subtly influenced Duguke's judgment. When she walked straight to the end of the garden, she stopped her steps and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, it's not early, if you want, I will show you another day."
Duguke was very clear that this was a guest order, and he chuckled lightly: "Trouble the two princesses today, Duguke says goodbye. Next time I will host a banquet in person to repay today's companionship." After speaking, he told them. The two nodded slightly in greeting, turned around and walked off the bridge.
He Lianhui looked at his back, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, turned her head to Jiang Xiaolou and said, "Xiaolou, you said he came suddenly today, what is the purpose?"
Jiang Xiaolou looked at He Lianhui with a vague look of expectation, but his expression did not change at all: "If Princess Yunzhu wants to know, you might as well go and chase His Highness back to ask clearly. I am not in his stomach. Roundworm, how do you know what he is thinking."
He Lianhui's face changed slightly. She knew that Jiang Xiaolou didn't like herself, so she had always been cautious about her words and actions in front of the other party, for fear of offending her by accident. But the more she was like this, the more Jiang Xiaolou seemed to hate her, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved, and his eyes blushed: "Xiaolou, why are you so indifferent to me? Did I offend you without knowing it? , Let you talk like this with guns and sticks, it's sarcasm?"
Jiang Xiaolou was still standing there, a gust of wind blew her, her clothes turned upside down, and her smile was as light as it was weathered: "Princess Yunzhu is too worried, I don't feel bad for you." After finishing. She got off the bridge and left gracefully.
He Lianhui watched Jiang Xiaolou leave from a distance, only to see her skirt rippling gently in the wind, the sunlight in the sky was already covered by the hazy clouds, her vision slowly became dim, except Seeing that light green dress, the crescent-colored lotus pattern is vividly visible, as if the person's body is covered with the shadow of white lotus.
King Qing invited Concubine Qing to his study for an unprecedented time.
The princess was a little surprised. In the past, Qing Wang had never been so solemn. Why would he do this today? Forcibly suppressing the astonishment of the upper part, she asked calmly: "Master, is there anything important to tell me alone?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across King Qing's face, and it took a long time to speak, "Wang Hao, it was all my fault in the past. I neglected you and made you wronged in the house."
Princess Qing was taken aback for a moment, and she was even more surprised. What is going on with King Qing today? Why did you mention it for no reason? She didn't think that the other party was really repenting. Jiang Xiaolou was right. If he wanted to change it, Qing Wang had already changed it 20 years ago. For so many years, he has never said a word of sorry, even if he knew that Mrs. Shun had done something wrong, he would desperately protect him. After all, he just shows no respect for his wife. What is it that will make him take the initiative to lower his head and admit his mistake?
Princess Qing was wary in her heart and chuckled: "I have been married to the prince for many years. Although I don’t know all about your personality, I can refer to it for a little bit, so that the prince can show such a solemn expression. I am afraid that this matter is extraordinary. Why not tell the truth, I really want to know, what is it that makes the prince so concerned?"
King Qing sighed and stood up to face Princess Qing and said: "Today, the three highnesses are here to divorce."
Princess Qing's complexion changed slightly, and she seemed to be a little shocked: "Retire? He is not willing to marry Helianxiao?
"Yes, he doesn't want to marry Xiao'er." Qing Wang's expression was a little disappointed.
Princess Qing frowned: "The wedding is just around the corner and everything is ready. He said he won’t marry if he doesn’t marry. Where will I be in Qing Palace? Although Helianxiao is not my biological daughter, she is also the county of the Palace. Lord, can't allow him to be so negligent! What's more, their marriage was personally referred to by your Majesty. Can you just give up? Isn't the royal slapped himself in the face?
King Qing looked at his princess, and for the first time realized that the other party was thinking about issues from his own perspective, he couldn't help but be moved: "For this reason, I was very angry at the beginning, but after thinking about it carefully, the concerns of the three majesty are not without Reason, after all, Xiao'er's biological mother did something unhonourable, and her second elder brother was also a poor man... How could the third majesty be willing to accept such a princess? I thought about it, but this marriage could only agree to retreat. "
"Prince, you have to think clearly. Now all the people in Beijing are waiting to drink the wedding wine. Everyone knows that the princess of the Qing Palace will soon marry the third prince. If you regret now, the whole Qing Palace will be grilled on the fire. , How do you tell us to go out in the future? How will the other daughters in the family get married in the future?! The elder son has not yet married the concubine, and the whole family will become a laughing stock if it is passed out! The third prince is so deceiving!"
Princess Qing was not distressed by Helianxiao, she just felt that it was impossible to retreat for no reason. Helianxiao's reputation is small, and the honor of the Qing Palace is great, not to mention that once the Qing Palace is regretted by the royal family, other people will definitely not come to propose again. Because Helianxiao alone affected the marriage of other children, Princess Qing would not accept it.
Seeing the princess's indignation, Wang Qing was secretly happy, but his face was downcast: "This...I also thought about it carefully, there is really no way."
Princess Qing looked at him coldly and said: "Prince, I will go into the palace and talk to the empress empress and see what she thinks about this matter. If the empress is willing to help, the three princes will not be desperate and arbitrary."
King Qing's lips curled up slightly, but his face was very worried: "Empress of labor, I am afraid that everything will be known to everyone. What's more, the twisted melon is not sweet. I am afraid that the third highness will be rebellious, and I will become more persistent. Everyone can't get off the stage. At this point, there is still a way, I'm afraid you won't bear it, Princess."
An uneasy thought slowly emerged in Princess Qing's heart: "Master, what does this mean?"
King Qing took a deep breath and said in a calm tone: "It is up to me to come forward and apply both grace and power. It is not difficult for the three highnesses to agree not to divorce, but he will definitely propose to change the bride..."
"If you change the bride, who is he going to change?" Princess Qing became suspicious.
King Qing looked at Princess Qing, his gaze was instantaneous: "Jiang Xiaolou."
Princess Qing suddenly became very angry, and immediately stood up: "Asshole thing! What is he like a small building, wishful thinking!"
The indignation of Princess Qing was as early as King Qing expected, but his face was extremely caring: "The Princess should not be angry, please calm down and think about it. This incident is not a bad thing to Jiang Xiaolou... ."
Princess Qing’s beautiful face was covered with a thick layer of frost, and her tone was extremely cold:
She is a person, not a commodity, and you can’t let others pick and choose! Even if this person is the prince, what about my daughters? Let him choose?"
Hearing what Princess Qing said, King Qing hurriedly calmed down: "Of course not. He didn't humiliate the heart of Princess Mingyue. On the contrary, he wanted Mingyue to be married and welcome Mingyue back to be his prince and concubine! Don't be so impatient. , Think about it carefully, although Xiaolou is loved by you and won the empress’s attention, but she is a businessman’s daughter after all, and ordinary wealthy aristocrats are willing to come and beg for marriage...have already given the Qing Palace a lot of face. Don't worry, listen to me first! Who is the third prince? His future is unlimited..." He said that, deliberately lowering his voice, "Even if he can't match the prince, he will be at least a prince in the future. When the time comes, your favorite Jiang Xiaolou will become the princess, which is a great thing for her! I admit that I do have selfish intentions in this matter, because a daughter’s marriage fails, I cannot marry the royal family. , But it’s no harm to Xiaolou! This marriage was originally made with a lot of effort, but now it’s given to Xiaolou, and it’s not as good as the outsiders’ land—"
Princess Qing was extremely angry, her complexion flushed at first, but she finally suppressed her anger, and stared at King Qing with wide-open eyes, as if she was investigating whether his intentions were unpredictable. King Qing stared directly at her without any guilt, without any intention of shrinking.
After calming down and thinking about it, Princess Qing had to admit that King Qing was right. Although Jiang Xiaolou had become Princess Mingyue, her background was already well known. Princess Qing tried every means to find a good relationship for her, but those concubine concubines could not look down on her, but the concubines were unattainable...After all, no one could figure out the details of Jiang Xiaolou, how could she marry a business woman like her to get started? So her marriage is also a thorn in the princess's heart. Seeing Jiang Xiaolou getting older and older, she didn't want the other party to end up lonely. Girls are always looking for a destination. If they are not high or low, they will only waste time. Now the three princes have extended an olive branch... Yes! He was really going too far, thinking of such a wicked idea of ​​changing his relatives. But having said that, if Xiaolou could become the third prince and concubine, his status and status would be quite different. Planning for her, this marriage can be regarded as a way out. When Princess Qing thought of this, her pale face slowly eased. She looked at King Qing, but she still had some doubts: "But where is your Majesty..."
Seeing the looseness in the other party’s words, King Qing was delighted:
Don’t worry, the third majesty is a prudent person. He dared to suggest that I change the bride... must have been reported to your majesty and obtained his approval. At the beginning, your majesty’s imperial decree only said that it was the daughter of the wedding king, but it did not specify which princess it was, which gave this matter a ray of life. I think... Your majesty’s imperial decree is not yet issued, but it is just for us to think about it. Opportunity, just being considerate, if we refuse without hesitation, we're afraid that we will cause trouble to the upper body!"
Princess Qing thought about it, but she refused to agree to it immediately. She just said indifferently, "This matter... let me think about it."
King Qing couldn't hide the pride in his eyes, but his face was very pleased: "Yes, yes, think about it. If you can, you can also persuade Xiaolou, there will be no shop after passing this village."
Concubine Qing glanced at King Qing and slowly reduced her anger, but her tone was not enthusiastic: "Yes, I will go back and have a good talk with her."
Fangcao Court
At night, when I knocked on the door, the sound was urgent and rapid. Xiaodie was startled, and quickly opened the door. When she saw the princess standing at the door, she was surprised and said: "Wang princess, why are you here at this hour?"
Princess Qing waved her hand and stepped straight into the door without saying a word. Seeing that Jiang Xiaolou had been groomed and was about to go to bed to rest, she couldn't help but said: "I can't make up my mind when I think about it, so I came to discuss it with you. "
Jiang Xiaolou slowly put down the comb in her hand, and the red candle fell on her eyes, shining brightly and brilliantly: "Mother is concerned, but the third prince wants to change marriage?"
Princess Qing was completely taken aback, her lips slightly opened: "You already know?"
Jiang Xiaolou’s face was clean and bright, and the long green silk was hanging down, reflecting a shallow light and shadow in the mirror. It was three points more beautiful than the beauty on the mahogany carved screen beside her. She gently raised her lips. The tone was calm and said: "His Royal Highness never visits the house on weekdays, but today he suddenly had a very happy conversation with the prince. This is one of them. The prince has always been indifferent to me, but the banquet called me a small building, which is the second. The third prince invited me. I traveled in the garden together, and there were many temptations in my tone, three of them. These three weird things are connected together, and I don't want to doubt it."
If something is abnormal, it is a demon. Princess Qing nodded, but also let her sigh with relief, let her say-she is really faceless. She knew that although Jiang Xiaolou was born in a merchant, her heart was very high, and she was afraid that she would still not look down upon the Third Prince. She thought for a while, for the sake of Xiaolou's future, she had to test it out: "Then how do you see this matter?"
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes were as clear as water: "Mother, you should know that I am not willing."
Princess Qing knows, of course, but she also has to make her words clear so that she can feel at ease: "Xiaolou, you have to know that although the third majesty is not a prince, his power is not small, plus he is restrained and has a calm temperament. Therefore, in the DPRK, it has always been the power to contend with the prince. I only tell you this, must not be passed on. If the prince cannot inherit the big treasure in the future, then I bet that the third prince will become the first in the throne. Heir! You have to think clearly. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you will want to climb the royal family again in the future..."
Jiang Xiaolou knew what Princess Qing meant. Although the three princes may not be so good, there is nothing bad. The identity of a prince can counteract everything, even if the marriage is ugly, but as long as you get the position of the prince and concubine, is there anything you want in the future? If you change the lady of another family, this great good thing will fall on you, and you will really faint with joy. But Jiang Xiaolou had to think deeper...
"Mother, the third Highness suddenly asked for a change of marriage. Is it really because of Auntie Shun and Anhua County King?"
"Of course!" Princess Qing answered as expected, then frowned again, "Isn't it?"
Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: "Although I don't have much contact with Your Highness Three, I have heard that he is deep-hearted and supports many people. I am worried that it is not because of such a simple reason that he suddenly proposed to change marriage. It's not intentional."
"Then what is he because of?" Princess Qing couldn't help asking.
Jiang Xiaolou stretched out his hand and gently swept his temples behind his ears, and there was a smile on his lips: "In order to get the support of the empress."
Princess Qing's heart jumped, and she felt a faint sweat on her forehead: "Queen Empress...what does this matter have to do with her?"
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes slowly covered a layer of light frost. Although Princess Qing is not stupid, her political sensitivity is really too bad. The old fox of King Qing already knows everything clearly, so he agreed to this marriage. Her voice was very long: "His Royal Highness is not the biological son of the Empress Empress, and with the frequent recent incidents, there has been a lot of estrangement between the two of them. In the eyes of the Third Highness, I am afraid it is a great opportunity. If I can Becoming the three princes and concubines will surely be able to hold the line between him and the empress, maybe... it will be a great help for him in the future."
Princess Qing was taken aback, and immediately figured out the key points, and couldn't help but gritted her teeth: "That old fox, it's no wonder that I urged me to agree. It was this idea!"
The old fox she was talking about was actually talking about King Qing, whose eldest daughter-in-law was the cousin of the princess, so he had a good relationship with the princess and interacted well. But he actually wanted to marry his daughter to the third prince again. This is a long-term investment... No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, there will be no loss for him. If the three princes can succeed in the game in the future, then King Qing is undoubtedly the Emperor Taishan. If it fails, then King Qing still has Jiang Xiaoyun in his hands, and he won't lose much anyway. The in-laws between the wealthy and aristocratic families are intricate and complicated, and no one can get rid of it. This is King Qing’s wishful thinking.
Seeing that Princess Qing was really angry, Jiang Xiaolou comforted: "Mother, don't worry, my Royal Highness is very disappointed in me today. Maybe...he will change his mind."
Princess Qing froze for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Change your mind?"
Jiang Xiaolou smiled and said: "Yes, I deliberately acted very strong today when I got along with him, and I robbed him everywhere. The prince and concubine should be dignified and decent, and abide by the etiquette. I always show my face without any repentance. Meaning, such a wife... Of course he would not like it."
Princess Qing looked at Jiang Xiaolou, and her expression seemed to be covered with a faint smile: "I'm afraid the three princes will not give up so easily, silly boy"
Jiang Xiaolou had always been extremely accurate in all materials, but she soon found out that she was wrong. The next day, the three princes visited again and personally asked her to go out to visit the lake. After hearing the news from Xiaodie, Jiang Xiaolou frowned slightly.
Princess Qing suddenly laughed: "Look, please come here."
Jiang Xiaolou gently shook his head, a strand of crystal jewels on the side of the temple shook his cheeks lightly, and the fluctuations in his eyes were even greater: "I underestimate the third majesty, he really bears his strength. Yes, I know that I am not suitable for him, but I still came to invite." After speaking, she pondered for a moment, and told Xiaodie: "If you go back, you will say that I am unwell and cannot be with you."
Fluttershy immediately responded, and bowed back.
After the princess Qing finished laughing, thinking of the difficulties of the matter, a pair of gentle eyes slowly showed anxiety, and said: "What should we do now?"
Jiang Xiaolou looked at Princess Qing with a smile on his face that could not be seen as a joy or a sorrow: "The matter of changing a family will not be on the stage. I will think again and let him retreat."
He Lianxiao was eating breakfast, and the maid came in and handed her a piece of paper. She glanced at it, her complexion changed drastically, and she swept all the food on the table on the ground.
The maidservant was shocked and knelt down together: "The princess."
The window didn't seem to be closed properly, and a cold wind blew the panes open suddenly, and the bright bead curtains swayed, making a crackle and then falling again. Helianxiao's expression was so cold that he didn't have the slightest popularity, and the handmaid shivered unconsciously. Before they could ask clearly, He Lianxiao had already rushed out of the room door, all the way to Jiang Xiaoyun's residence, almost without waiting for the maid to report, he went straight in.
"Sister-in-law!"
Jiang Xiaoyun saw Helian smile suddenly, and couldn't help being taken aback. The other's pretty face turned pale at the moment, his lips twitched unconsciously, and a fierce expression in his eyes. Jiang Xiaoyun froze for a moment, quickly put down the needle and thread in his hand, and instructed the maid beside him to hug Ya Ya Xueyu's son, and then he greeted him: "Look at you in such a hurry, what happened?"
These days, Jiang Xiaoyun has been shrouded in the door of the room, never going out to mix. She knew very well that the more stormy it was outside, the more she had to keep her calm mood. His husband is the eldest son of King Qing. Although many things have happened in the family, his status is not directly threatened. But if she intervened, it would be tantamount to drag Jinling County King in. There is no need for their husband and wife to get ahead for this matter, let alone delay their splendid future.
He Lianxiao just walked too quickly, and her clothes were hooked by a corner of the Bogu shelf next to her. She was so confused, she raised her sleeves so hard that she tore the sleeves abruptly, and a blue and white landscape porcelain bottle snapped off. On the ground, it instantly became a pile of worthless tiles, but she didn't even care about it. There was a fire in her voice: "Sister, Jiang Xiaolou has taken my marriage away!"
