The next day after Rong Cang went to court, he changed his clothes, took the gifts he had prepared in advance, and led two guards out of the palace to Prince Rong's Mansion.
Chu Yunfei talked to him last night, and Rong Cang promised that she would not stay in Prince Rong's mansion to have a drink, and personally sent congratulatory gifts to show respect for Prince Rong. After that, she declined Prince Rong's kind offer to stay because of busy government affairs, and took her. The two guards turned and left.
However, when he stepped out of the palace, he saw the carriage stop and a woman got out of the carriage. She raised her eyes and looked at Rong Cang lovingly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Qin Zhilan bowed her knees and saluted in a dignified and elegant manner, "I have written a letter before and ordered someone to deliver it to Your Highness. Did Your Highness receive it?"
There was no response after the letter was sent. She once wondered whether the letter was not delivered to Rong Cang at all.
After all, Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei were still living in Prince Zhan's Mansion at that time, and Princess Zhan was at home on weekdays. It was said that everyone in the palace obeyed Chu Yunfei's orders.
If this is the case, is Chu Yunfei's behavior too selfish?
Qin Zhilan wanted Rong Cang to know what kind of person the Crown Princess was, but Rong Cang's answer instantly extinguished her hopes.
"I have read your letter, although it is against the rules." Rong Cang looked at her indifferently, with a condescending and distant look in his eyes, "Gu has no feelings for Miss Qin, not to mention that Miss Qin has been married to King Jin'an. , there are differences between men and women, I hope Miss Qin will stick to her duties in the future, keep a proper distance from unrelated men, and maintain the reputation of the royal family and the family."
Qin Zhilan's face turned pale and she bit her lip unconsciously: "I have admired His Highness for many years——"
"There is only one princess in my heart, and all other women are out of sight." Rong Cang interrupted her coldly, "After Miss Qin gets married, it is only right to admire her husband more."
After saying that, he got on his horse neatly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Qin Zhilan turned her head sharply and looked up at Rong Cang on the horse, "Why is my daughter inferior to the Crown Princess? Is it because she is not as beautiful as her, or because she is not as knowledgeable and talented as her? Or is it because her temperament is not as good as hers? Gentle and submissive?”
The guests coming and going outside the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion all looked at Qin Zhilan in disbelief. In broad daylight, a woman with a fiancé actually confessed her love to the prince in public?
How did Master Qin teach his granddaughter?
The older officials were even more distressed. The world was in decline. The world was in decline!
"The Crown Princess is perfect in Guxin, and no one else deserves to be compared with her." Rong Cang turned his head and looked Qin Zhilan up and down, his voice as cold as frost, "Even if Miss Qin doesn't care about her own reputation, she should still serve Qin Zhilan." For the sake of the great master’s reputation, he will live forever.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked the reins and galloped away in an instant.
Qin Zhilan froze on the spot, looking at the people and horses going away, the unwillingness in her eyes almost overflowing.
Why?
Why could Chu Yunfei let him protect her like this? Why would he humiliate himself so much?
Is it wrong to like him?
If he had been willing to accept her earlier, she would have been knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and virtuous, instead of being like a resentful woman who couldn't get what she asked for, even disregarding her own face in order to create an opportunity to express her love.
"Miss Qin is so brave." A lazy voice sounded, and Qi Jin, dressed in red, stepped into the door and waved the folding fan in his hand gracefully, "I grew up in the border gate, and I always thought that women from the capital They are all reserved and reserved. I didn't expect there to be a girl as enthusiastic and bold as Miss Qin. Confessing to the prince in front of everyone, and even after the emperor has already granted marriage, is really an eye-opener for me."
Qin Zhilan's face was stiff, and she turned to look at Qi Jin with cold eyes: "Prince Qi has always been used to being unscrupulous, what right do you have to cynicize me?"
"Miss Qin, have you misunderstood? When did I become sarcastic?" Qi Jin smiled innocently, but the mocking luster in his eyes was clearly visible, "My prince admires Miss Qin's boldness and courage, and he also admires the Qin family's family tradition... …By the way, a few days ago my grandfather was still forcing me to marry Miss Qin. I can’t help but wonder that Miss Qin is so beautiful, dignified and elegant, smart, talented, and has a prominent family background. Do I still need to worry about myself? Marriage issues?"
Ming Bao's secretly derogatory words made Qin Zhilan's face turn red and white. The eyes from all around fell on her face invariably. All kinds of ridicule, ridicule, contempt and incredible looks made her feel ashamed.
Qin Zhilan clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She was too embarrassed to go into the palace to drink wedding wine again. She turned to her carriage and said, "Go back to the palace."
Qi Jin clicked his tongue: "If you are a shy girl, don't learn how to express your love in public. Before a man gets married, you can barely be praised for your courage if you express your love in public. He already has a wife, so your behavior can only be regarded as ignorance." Shame on you."
"Prince Qi." The eighth prince came out of the palace and walked quietly to him. Looking at the carriage that turned around and leaving, he whispered, "Isn't it a bit too much to say this? She is a girl after all, and she is also the Queen of Qin. Granddaughter, please save some face for the Grand Tutor."
Qi Jin sneered, turned around and stepped into the palace gate to save face for Qin Taifu?
When Taifu Qin threatened him, he didn't save him any face.
…
As soon as Rong Cangfu returned to the palace, he heard Bao Chan coming to report in a hurry: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is reprimanding the Crown Princess."
Rong Cang's face turned cold, and he quickened his pace towards Changxin Palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he heard a stern reprimand: "The Ai family always thought you were a sensible Crown Princess, but I didn't expect you to compete with those jealous people in the market. How can a woman be worthy of the crown prince if she is so petty and petty? How can she secure her position as the mother of a country in the future?"
Rong Cang climbed up the steps and entered the palace door.
Chu Yunfei's voice was respectful and modest: "The Queen Mother cannot blindly show favoritism to Sister Jinyi and Sister Linxue just because they are from the Chen family. My granddaughter-in-law is very heavy these days and is becoming more and more lethargic. There really is no time for them to calm down in the morning and dusk, so Spare them the courtesy—"
"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother coldly interrupted her, "Chu Yunfei, do you know what you are talking about? Who is that person named Gu Yaorao? Why does she deal with the maid next to Linxue? You won't say anything today Come on, one, two, three, and the Ai family will never be done with you!"
"Who does the Queen Mother want to be with?" Rong Cang stepped into the palace door, looked at the Queen Mother sitting on the main seat with a cold expression, and bowed slightly, "This is the East Palace, why is the Queen Mother here?"
"The Ai family can't come to the East Palace?" The Queen Mother slapped the table coldly, "Rong Cang, how on earth does your wife manage the backyard? She allowed a nameless concubine to show off her power!"
"Concubine?" Rong Cang looked around at the several maids kneeling on the ground, Gu Yaorao was among them, "I wonder who the Queen Mother is talking about?"
"Of course it's this cheap maid from the Gu family!" the Queen Mother said coldly, "Are you going to pretend to be stupid with the Ai family?"
Chu Yunfei turned to look at Rong Cang and took the initiative to explain: "The night before last, a maid came to invite the prince to come over and said that Miss Linxue was sick. Yaorao thought she was out of line and punished her."
"Who is Miss Linxue?" Rong Cang's face was cold and cold, and there seemed to be a cold light passing through his eyes. "How dare you disturb the queen mother with a small dispute between the servants? Who is this who is out talking nonsense?"
Caiyun's face turned pale and she knelt on the ground shivering.
"It's Caiyun who is next to Miss Linxue." Gu Yaoruo lowered his head to plead guilty, "The Crown Princess has not been feeling well lately. I was just worried that Caifeng's unruly behavior would disturb the Crown Princess, so I came here for a few days first. , taught her some rules, but I didn’t expect that they would disturb the Queen Mother with this incident. This servant deserves to die, please punish the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!"
Rong Cang's eyes fell on Caiyun's head, and his voice was cold and ruthless: "Come here! Drag this troublemaking slave out and kill him with a cane."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Linxue's face turned pale: "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Rong Cang!" The Queen Mother suddenly stood up, "How dare you?!"
