"Zhi'er, it's up to you in the next period of time. You have to keep an eye on Wu Meiniang in your mansion. If there is any trouble with her, tell me as soon as possible. As for the things in the palace, I am the one, I'll take care of it."
After hearing this, Li Zhi nodded his head twice.
Thinking that he had been out for such a long time, something might happen if he didn't go back.
After thinking all of this clearly, Li Zhi said goodbye to Li Ke and returned to the mansion.
Just after returning home, Li Zhi had already heard about Wang's beating of Wu Meiniang.
If this matter had happened before, Li Zhi would have scolded Mrs. Wang and then comforted Wu Meiniang.
But today Li Zhi did the opposite and didn't care about Wu Meiniang at all.
"Your Majesty, I have prepared a midnight snack for you, would you like to eat some?"
After watching Wu Meiniang limping in carrying midnight snacks, Li Zhi pretended not to know anything and spoke.
"Sister Mei Niang, what's wrong with you? Is someone bullying you in the house while I'm not here?"
After Wu Meiniang heard this, she knew that the time for her performance had come.
After pretending to be in embarrassment and thinking for a long time, Wu Meiniang slowly spoke.
"Zhi'er, don't blame the princess. I did something wrong that made the princess unhappy, so she chose to attack me."
I originally thought that I could get a very angry look from Li Zhi, but in the end, Li Zhi just nodded after hearing this.
"Since you have made the princess angry, it is appropriate for the princess to punish you, but you have to remember that you must not make the same mistake again in the future."
"After all, the princess hates it when others turn a deaf ear to her words."
After hearing this, Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment.
Because she didn't know what she should say next.
According to Li Zhi on weekdays, he would definitely go to Wang to settle the score.
Why didn't he just vent his anger on himself today? He also asked himself to listen to Mr. Wang's words.
Isn’t the contrast between Li Zhi’s before and after too great?
What exactly does he want to do with his current attitude?
"Sister Mei Niang, do you have anything else you want to say to Zhi'er?"
Wu Meiniang calmed down after being called like this by Li Zhi.
"There's nothing else to do. I just want to see Zhi'er handling government affairs here."
After hearing this, Li Zhi frowned slightly.
"Sister Mei Niang, I know your desire to stay with Zhi'er all the time, but these are matters in the court that cannot be seen by others. Since Sister Mei Niang has nothing to do, Just go back quickly.”
"If it's too early for Zhi'er to handle these things today, Zhi'er will go and accompany sister Mei Niang."
When Wu Meiniang heard what Li Zhi said, she could only leave very reluctantly.
Wang, who had been waiting in her room for Li Zhi to come to her and ask for help, did not wait for Li Zhi to come until dark.
After taking a look at the maid next to her, Mrs. Wang spoke with some confusion.
"What do you think happened to the prince today? If it were normal, he would have come to settle accounts with me as soon as he returned home. But today has already reached this time, why haven't he come yet?"
The maid smiled after hearing what Wang said, and then spoke to their princess.
"Princess, how can you still be troubled here by this kind of thing? You should be happy that the prince will not come to settle accounts with you."
"Doesn't this prove that Wu Meiniang is no longer that important in the prince's heart?"
"Princess, you have wasted so many years in this mansion, and now you have finally come to an end."
Wang, who was still confused at first, chuckled after hearing this.
"Indeed, the prince now not only favors Wu Meiniang's charming son, this matter is a great thing for the entire mansion."
"However, if the prince doesn't like Wu Meiniang now, who does he like?"
"Should I buy some good parents from outside and bring them back to the house so that the prince can favor him?"
When Wang said this, his heart was actually bleeding.
After all, I have liked the prince for so many years. If I were to give someone to the prince's house, it would undoubtedly be a knife in my heart.
"Princess, how could you have such an idea? Now that the prince doesn't like Wu Meiniang, this is a great opportunity for you."
"What you should do now is to make the prince fall in love with you. Those women outside are definitely not as good as you, the princess."
"As long as you work harder, the prince will definitely treat you well."
Wang, who was still hesitating, fell into trouble after hearing this.
"But I have been in the palace for so many years, and the prince has not fallen in love with me. Is it useful for me to work hard now? Maybe the prince will hate me even more."
Hearing her own princess say such words, the maid who had been accompanying Wang quickly trotted over to bring the bronze mirror.
"Princess, take a good look. You are so beautiful, and you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why can't you attract the prince?"
"Over the years, you have always felt that the prince has Wu Meiniang in his heart and is unwilling to work hard. Now as long as you work hard, I believe you will make the prince fall in love with you."
Wang, who was still a little unsure at first, nodded when she saw her own appearance in the bronze mirror.
Yes, my appearance is not particularly bad, and I know the prince's preferences very well, so how could I not attract the prince.
After dressing herself up carefully, Wang went to Li Zhi's study with the midnight snack she had prepared.
When she went in and saw that there was midnight snack on Li Zhi's table, Wang seemed very embarrassed at the moment.
Because it was obvious that my midnight snack was delivered late.
Before Wang could speak, Li Zhi spoke first.
"Now that you have brought everything, let me have a taste of the craftsmanship of the people in your yard."
After hearing this, the maid who was following Wang immediately took away all the late-night snacks that Wu Meiniang had brought, and placed everything that her own princess had prepared on the table.
"Your Majesty, this is what our princess has been preparing for two hours. It tastes absolutely the best."
Li Zhi didn't say anything after hearing what the maid said. He just looked at Mrs. Wang next to him who had been there silently.
