Seeing Wen Qinsang behind the window, she nodded slightly in greeting.
Wen Qinsang also nodded slightly towards her.
Seeing her movements, Grandma Li followed her gaze. When she saw Wen Qinsang, she sighed silently in her heart and couldn't help but look back at her.
When the eldest princess had arranged for her to be a matchmaker earlier, although she knew it was to save the eldest princess's mansion, she still felt in her heart that she belonged to a high-ranking family, a person who could become a phoenix in the mountains and wilderness.
Now that the emperor had given her and Xie Xun a marriage, after the eldest princess's wish came true, when she looked back at her, she felt inexplicably regretful.
It is a pity that such an outstanding woman was snatched away by others.
Of course Chen Anning didn't know what she was thinking.
Even if he knew, he would probably just laugh with disdain.
Just as she didn't know Wen Qinsang's evaluation of her, if she knew, she would definitely tell him that he was overthinking.
After entering the house and greeting everyone with courtesy, Chen Anning sat down next to Princess Tongchang at her invitation.
When grandma brought the tea, Princess Tongchang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why are you here so early today?"
"Everything is fine," Chen Anning said slowly after taking a sip of tea, "I'll just come here earlier."
Princess Tongchang was obviously dissatisfied with her answer, so she ignored Wen Qinsang's look and asked directly: "I heard that the emperor granted you and Mr. Xie a marriage?"
Chen Anning glanced at her, then at the eldest lord and Wen Qinsang, then nodded, "Yes."
"You don't have anything to say?" Princess Tongchang tilted her head to look at her and said jokingly, "Master Xie is the dream girl of many young ladies in the capital. The emperor granted you a marriage without announcing it, you know. There are not many people there, otherwise, if so many enemies appear all at once, you will be hard-pressed to fight with four punches."
Chen Anning smiled: "It is true that my hands are no match for four punches, but has the princess forgotten that I am a disciple of the miracle doctor?"
Princess Tongchang blinked and joked: "These ladies can deal with people, no matter what your status is."
"The princess has misunderstood." Chen Anning said with a smile, "What I mean is that since ancient times, medicine and poison have always been indistinguishable."
Princess Tongchang was surprised: "You want to poison them!"
Chen Anning raised her eyebrows slightly, "It has never been my style to use one's own shortcomings to attack another's strengths."
Princess Tongchang also imitated her and raised an eyebrow: "So..."
"So the best way to deal with the enemy is to use your own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses." Chen Anning took over her words with a smile, "If the enemy still refuses to accept it, then we can only get rid of it and quickly get rid of it."
Princess Tongchang raised her eyebrows a little higher, "But I see that you are quite tolerant of your grandmother, father, mother and Miss Chen's repeated provocations."
"Be tolerant to them, that's because..." The grievances have been held for a long time, and letting them die happily will only benefit them. Chen Anning lowered his eyes slightly, curled his lips silently, and then smiled, "The Wei Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. No matter how much I hate it, they are also my relatives. I can't even risk my own life in order to get revenge on them. Bar?"
Princess Tongchang nodded, "That's right."
Chen Anning deliberately teased her and said, "So, do you know why the emperor granted me and Mr. Xie a marriage? There are too many people who admire him, and others are not as capable as me, who can deal with so many people at once."
Princess Tongchang smiled and said: "If you put it this way, I'm quite looking forward to it."
After chatting like this for half an hour, Chen Anning put down the tea cup and began to perform acupuncture on the eldest princess.
The eldest princess looked at her focused eyebrows and thought about what Wen Qinsang said. She couldn't help but soften her face and asked her with concern: "What exactly is the Chunhua Pavilion case?"
There was nothing that couldn't be said about this matter. While Chen Anning was administering the acupuncture, he told her all the causes and consequences.
Including the fact that she threw Zhao Ying into the darkroom, she didn't hide anything.
When the eldest princess listened to the plain narrative and looked at her unwavering face, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart.
If such a decisive and capable woman who can take advantage of the situation can pair up with Wen Qinsang, even if the Eldest Princess Mansion cannot completely survive the crisis, it will certainly be able to sustain the Eldest Princess Mansion for another ten or twenty years. .
What a pity.
Suppressing the disappointment in her heart, the eldest princess sincerely praised: "You did a good job."
Chen Anning paused slightly.
The eldest princess, who was keenly aware of this strangeness, asked: "What's wrong?"
Thinking that something was wrong with the eldest princess, Princess Tongchang, the nanny and the maidservants all looked over.
Chen Anning shook her head gently, "It's okay."
Even after Chunhua Pavilion, no one in the Chen family asked her about the reason or cared about her. They were a little surprised when they suddenly heard praise for her good job.
The eldest princess looked at her carefully for a moment, and after confirming that she was really fine, she said: "Because of the Peony Banquet, Prince Zhao was exiled to Zhuya County. At first, he still had some sympathy for Yibo Mansion. Although he was defeated, he was still alive. There is a Prince Zhao who strives for success. After Prince Zhao finishes his studies and embarks on an official career, there will always be a time for him to make a comeback, but he is ruined so easily by Miss Chen. It is really sad."
"Looking at Miss Zhao Er's actions, it's not without reason that Prince Zhao can be plotted against."
After looking at her movements and expressions, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the health of the eldest princess. Princess Tongchang also joined in the discussion and said: "Poor people must be hateful. This is a saying passed down by our ancestors. Prince Zhao was tricked, so he can be praised." He was pure, kind and innocent. Miss Zhao Er has already suffered a loss once, and it is sheer stupidity for her to be persuaded by Miss Chen to murder Miss Chen Er."
"She doesn't even think about it, what is Miss Chen's status now, and what is Miss Chen's status now?"
"To put it bluntly, the two of them dare to plot against Miss Chen Er like this. They clearly don't take the Eldest Princess's Mansion seriously!"
The eldest princess's eyes moved faintly, and she couldn't help but look at Princess Tongchang.
Princess Tongchang said matter-of-factly: "Miss Chen is the concubine of Prince Sun. She can freely enter and leave the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion to conspire with Miss Zhao Er to plot against Miss Chen Er. There must be Kaiyang Marquis, Kaiyang Marquis's wife or Sun Zi." The prince’s instruction! No one in the capital knows about Miss Chen Er’s treatment of her mother’s head ailment. They are plotting against Miss Chen Er at this time... Doesn’t mother want to ask what the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion wants?”
Aunt Li also provided timely support: "The princess is right, it seems that the person behind the plot of the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion is Miss Chen Er. Who knows if there is a grudge against the eldest princess for causing the grandson to be injured at the Peony Banquet?"
Two other nuns also agreed.
The eldest princess glanced at Chen Anning, who was not open to words, and said smoothly: "Whether the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion hates me, I can't find out, but since they plotted against Miss Chen Er while she was treating my head ailment, it's fine if they don't know. Yes, I have to ask."
"Aunt Feng, please take a few people to Kaiyanghou Mansion and ask them what their intentions are."
One of the nuns who had agreed earlier immediately followed and went with four maids.
Chen Anning didn't stop it.
No matter what, she would be happy to inflict a little more pain on Chen Ziling.
