After Princess Danyang left the palace, before leaving the palace completely, she asked Zizhu to go to the Treasury Department and asked Han Qinglan to have lunch at the Princess Mansion after handling official matters. And try the brand new dishes she came up with for Jijili.
Of course, these are all superficial excuses.
After thinking about the loopholes in protecting the prince, she had to make adjustments quickly. It's just that the method of using Han Qinglan as a trump card is slightly inappropriate.
In addition to having to think hard to make up for it, she also had to confirm it with me again to ensure that everything was as foolproof as possible.
However, just as he stepped into the gate of his own home, the princess's mansion, chores came to his door again.
"See the Princess."
As soon as Danyang got off the carriage that had stopped outside the second door, she was surrounded by a group of maids who had heard about it and were waiting to "pick her up" here.
But because of Aunt Wutong's training these days, these little maids have more or less overcome their previous state of being invisible, getting anxious and panicking when something happened.
At this moment, after everyone had bowed to Princess Danyang, they stepped forward one by one and reported to Princess Danyang one by one according to whether the matter was urgent or not.
If you just look at the orderly appearance at this moment, you really can't tell that these girls have just entered the princess's mansion for less than a month.
After some more urgent but minor matters were taken care of, Danyang and his party were not only approaching her Qishuang Pavilion, but the number of people in the entire team had also reduced from a dozen to a handful.
At this moment, apart from Zizhu who was serving Danyang personally, Mei Lan who rushed from Qishuang Pavilion to pick her up after hearing the news, and the two little maids who did odd jobs, there was only one eldest maid, Ling'er, whom Aunt Wutong had just promoted to her side.
Ling'er is also the highest-ranking one among those waiting for Danyang.
After seeing everyone else dispersed, she quickly stepped forward and reported to Princess Danyang:
"Princess Rongzhen. Aunt Wutong has something to do and has been waiting for the princess to come back. Now you think you want aunt to come to Qishuang Pavilion? Or should you wait for you to take a rest..."
Because Danyang went out early and came back late every day, he almost grew up in the palace. Therefore, everyone could see and guess that she must be extremely tired.
There was even a rumor in the palace that Princess Danyang, who had no longevity, could only persist in such a tiring, tedious and boring matter for a few days at most before suddenly giving up and running back from the palace.
And this rumor is no different from the current situation.
————
And if this is really the case, how should she reverse or explain it?
In just a moment, layers of sticky fluid oozed out from Nanny Liu's forehead. She didn't know whether it was cold sweat or hot sweat. The smile that was originally full of intimacy gradually became stiff due to Princess Danyang's gaze.
After Danyang deliberately delayed two more breaths and saw the other person's mind wavering, she turned her eyes, as if she had just lost interest in Aunt Liu in front of her. She leaned back in the Taishi chair and joked half-truthfully. :
"It turns out that Aunt Liu is the empress's deacon. Does that mean that everything you say can represent the empress's meaning?"
The statement of being too provocative made Grandma Liu twitch the corner of her mouth, and waved her hands to clarify.
"The princess has betrayed this servant. How dare you, how dare you, and how could you have such a rebellious idea?!"
Regardless of whether she is true or not, if Concubine Jing thinks that she has the possibility of overstepping her authority, she will be cut into pieces!
She didn't know whether she was frightened or angry. She raised her hands and waved them, but she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Fortunately, when Aunt Liu went to observe the master in front of her secretly, she found that Concubine Jing did not take her words seriously, but just tilted her head at Princess Danyang behind her in displeasure.
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.
The moment Grandma Liu heard this, she felt dumbfounded in her heart.
This was exactly what she wanted to say but hadn't said it yet.
In other words, at this moment, I and Concubine Jing are really being fooled around by the little girl in front of me, and they are not focusing on one thing and not the other!
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Concubine Jing, as always, did not take Princess Danyang seriously, or should I say anyone except herself, His Majesty and the Third Prince.
And she also underestimated the notorious little girl in front of her.
Therefore, if you are in this predicament, you must have brought it upon yourself.
But making things happen right now is the most important thing for her and Concubine Jing. Fortunately, Concubine Jing is still willing to stay here, so she can't delay it any longer.
As soon as she thought of this, Grandma Liu immediately bowed and said straight to the point:
"Since the princess has decided to hold the wedding ceremony in the palace, the empress will be in charge of the harem and she should do her best for the princess."
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.
But to be honest, this was just because she was too lazy to cause more trouble and added more uncontrollable factors to the already confusing situation.
"Greetings to your Majesty. You are late. The prince's brother left the East Palace and went to the Imperial Academy half an hour ago."
Concubine Jing glanced at Danyang coldly, nodded and said:
"How could I not know this little thing? I came to the East Palace today just to find you, the princess."
Although Concubine Jing obeyed the advice of her biological father and Master Feng and came here to express her goodwill, she was unwilling to do so and she had not bowed to anyone for a long time.
Not to mention bowing her head to show kindness, even how to talk as equals, the concubine Jing who was the only one in the harem could no longer remember.
Therefore, the critical and disgusting emotions on his frozen face were simply palpable.
Danyang raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
She doesn't care about notoriety and rumors, but she doesn't have a good temper to cause trouble when others come to her door, and she greets them with a good-tempered smile.
"Oh, since your Majesty is here to see me, I wonder why?"
