Danyang naturally knew that if she compromised on this, her proud mother would not be able to forgive her, and she could not bear to let her mother suffer this injustice.
After rolling her eyes for a while, she smiled and said:
"Danyang is flattered that the empress is so considerate."
When Concubine Jing heard this, she thought Danyang nodded.
————
Xiao Yan sat down in the octagonal pavilion with a golden sword, waved his hands nonchalantly, as if saying to the maid, "Don't make any noise", and said casually:
"Say it."
Because Bai Mingzhu came into contact with the third prince under the same banner, that is, to collect and pass on the relevant details of the Danyang ceremony and haircut ceremony for Xiao Yan. So it's perfectly normal to be asked this question.
And because the two of them have been in contact more and more recently, I don't know if the third prince saw through her intention to get closer, or if he thinks she is already a close person. Anyway, not only has his attitude become more frivolous and casual when they meet recently, he is even less willing to come out to see her. She did.
According to the original plan, Bai Mingzhu was going to give advice to the third prince Xiao Yan today, and use this to try to change her image in Xiao Yan's heart, or to prove that she was still valuable to Xiao Yan.
But after being stimulated by Danyang, and Xiao Yan's attitude of disrespecting her even more than before, Bai Mingzhu's heart felt as uncomfortable and anxious as fire.
Not to mention, the "reins" she could use to hold the Third Prince at this moment were the people who had just humiliated her.
Unable to hold it back for a moment, Bai Mingzhu snorted and said sarcastically:
"Does Your Highness think I am useless, so why do you treat me so casually and without etiquette?"
Although Xiao Yan is not a human being, he is not stupid either. And because he grew up in the harem, his ears and eyes are all connected, so he is naturally sensitive to the changes in other people's thoughts and emotions that few others can match.
"Haha, how could Miss Bai have such a misunderstanding? Is it just because I came a step late and kept you waiting for a long time?"
At the same time as he was raking it down, Xiao Yan couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart.
He thought he had captured the person in front of him, but who knew he would still raise his tail? !
And because he had been racking his brains to find various opportunities in Danyang recently, he accidentally noticed that many people in the East Palace were inextricably linked to Shufang Palace.
Of course, he knew that the entire harem was under the control of his mother and concubine. The manpower in the East Palace was "carefully selected" by the mother and concubine.
But Xiao Yan never expected that there would be so many connections with Shufang Palace.
In other words, as long as he spends more time searching in Shufang Palace where he grew up, he can find a good candidate to secretly monitor Danyang. It was also quick to deliver the news, and he didn't have to worry about maintaining and cajoling him.
Therefore, Xiao Yan has become more and more lazy towards Bai Mingzhu recently, and they rarely even meet.
If he hadn't kept it just in case, for any special circumstances, he would have kicked this noisy woman aside.
Bai Mingzhu hated the third prince's defence, and her teeth itched with hatred. But because of this, he suddenly realized the transgression of his words and deeds just now. And if you want to see the third prince Xiao Yan freely in the palace in the future, you can only do so through his invitation.
Now she has to be gentle and coax people to be honest.
As soon as she thought of this, Bai Mingzhu immediately stopped her cold gaze and returned to her little white rabbit appearance. While apologizing and comforting Xiao Yan, he slowly said the words he had prepared:
"Your Highness, don't you want to reconcile with Princess Danyang? In the past two days, my cousin has made some specific arrangements."
Seeing that the third prince Xiao Yan looked bored again and was so impatient that he wanted to leave immediately, she gritted her teeth and had to quickly point out the important point and said:
"Now, I have a plan, which may be able to help His Highness."
Just when Bai Mingzhu was offering advice to Xiao Yan, Concubine Jing in Shufang Palace also welcomed her "adviser".
"Greetings to the empress."
A middle-aged nun who was carefully selected from the Grand Master's Mansion came to the palace to assist her according to Grand Master Feng's instructions.
"Get up. Did dad tell you to bring anything to me?"
Concubine Jing was lazily leaning on the beauty's couch, eating fresh fruits that had been brought to the palace from the outskirts of Beijing this morning, and asked unhappily to the middle-aged woman kneeling in front of the couch.
"When I get back to you, I only ask you to take good care of your health and go to Hanyuan Hall more frequently. If you need any cooks, ingredients or recipes, please tell your family as soon as possible."
Concubine Jing naturally heard her father, Master Feng's words urging her to win back Emperor Xuande's heart as soon as possible.
But she didn't know what exactly His Majesty was angry with, and she was also angry with His Majesty for neglecting Yan'er for no reason. Let her rush to please her?
Concubine Jing felt unhappy, and after snorting coldly, she was about to wave away the annoying person in front of her. Unexpectedly, this middle-aged woman seemed to have eyes on her head. She was one step ahead of her and suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds."
As he spoke, the middle-aged woman who was lying on the ground raised her head and looked directly at Concubine Jing who was looking up. Then she continued: "I have something I want to say to your empress."
On a normal day, if it weren't for the fact that her father had personally sent this person to the palace. Anyone who dared to be so unruly in front of her would have been taken to the front hall and tortured to serve as a warning to others!
When Concubine Jing raised her eyebrows and glared at the woman, the middle-aged woman actually smiled slightly.
With a round face that is slightly fatter, a soft smile, and submissive eyebrows, he does not look like a slave who just speaks rudely and casually offends nobles.
Not to mention in the Shufang Palace, even in the Grand Master's Mansion, when Concubine Jing was just a little girl who had not yet left the palace, no one dared to laugh in her rage, and yet she smiled so gently, kindly, and contagiously.
When Concubine Jing looked at it, she had to secretly admit her own mood, because her smile improved slightly.
Because of this surprised mood, her eyebrows dropped slightly, her brows wrinkled involuntarily, and she couldn't help but asked curiously:
"What do you want to say?"
Just as the middle-aged woman bowed to thank Concubine Jing for her kindness, and signaled Concubine Jing with her eyes to send all the people around her away, the maid outside the door stepped around the screen and reported:
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has come to pay his respects. And there seems to be something else that I would like to ask your Majesty for instructions."
She completely took these words as an insult directed at her by Princess Danyang.
While Grandma Liu breathed a sigh of relief, she was shocked to realize that the clothes behind her were soaked.
Just when she was about to speak again with a wry smile and bring the topic back on track, Princess Danyang spoke first and said with a smile:
"Oh, so that's not it? That means Concubine Jing told grandma in advance, right? Then it's the same thing if you tell me. Let's talk about it. What kind of good thing is it?"
Before asking this question, she actually had a guess in her heart.
Concubine Jing was willing to condescend to visit her, and she could still tolerate her being so presumptuous for a long time. And now he still refuses to leave, which explains one thing.
This favorite concubine came to visit her because it was definitely not just about her Danyang affairs. It was most likely a major matter related to Concubine Jing herself or the third prince.
But now that it was found out that the third prince Xiao Yan was in contact with Bai Mingzhu, the remaining possibility became even smaller.
Seeing that the test was almost done, Danyang raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, not wanting to waste any more time on the master and servant in front of him.
