In the carriage returning home, the smile on Cen Yurong's face deepened, and she exuded an aura of joy.
"Did the princess leave just like that? Miss Liang mistrusted Xia Yunxian and kept misunderstanding me. Yu Rong should have been asked to explain to her just now."
Jiang Yurong on the opposite side was twisting her handkerchief in worry. This trip was in vain, completely different from what was promised in advance!
She was still dressed in such a miserable state, so she was pitied for nothing!
"Who helped pay off the debt your mother owed?"
Unexpectedly, Cen Yurong's expression suddenly turned cold, as if her patience had been exhausted.
If you don't have the eyesight to see things, no wonder you can't beat Xia Yunxian!
Who are the Duke's wife and the old princess?
They already had a preconceived impression of Xia Yunxian, so they would gain nothing by rashly slandering the person they liked!
Only by following the temptations can you have the opportunity to instigate rebellion.
If I had known that she was such an impulsive idiot, I would not have brought her to the Duke's Mansion today. I would have almost lost everything!
Jiang Yurong stiffened and immediately lowered her head, "Yurong dare not forget that the princess is our benefactor."
"Don't forget who gave you the opportunity to stand by Yu Jing's side. You can't win his heart, and your methods are not clever. Now you want this princess to clean up the mess for you!"
She actually had the nerve to complain in front of her!
Cen Yurong raised her chin proudly, her eyes sharp and contemptuous. Although she was smiling, her words were cold and without warmth. They were like sharp daggers piercing Jiang Yurong's heart, hurting her crumbling self-esteem. Full of holes!
Her face was burning, following Cen Yurong these days, reminding her all the time that if it weren't for this name, Bai Yujing would not even look at her.
Jiang Yurong has been deliberately ignoring this fact. She does not want to think deeply that the things destroyed by Xia Yunxian actually did not belong to her in the first place!
But if she didn't find someone to hate, she felt like she couldn't live at all.
Since he is going to fall into hell, he should have someone to support him!
That person can only be Xia Yunxian.
"On the day when the Duke's wife and the old princess come to visit, are you worried that you won't have the chance to speak?"
Cen Yurong knew that the person in front of her would still be of use in the future, so she gave her a chance.
Jiang Yurong took a deep breath, and then showed a flattering smile, "I am anxious, I will obey the princess's arrangements for everything."
A pair of slender white hands stretched out and gently pinched her chin. Cen Yurong returned to her usual kindness and smiled softly.
"Just be obedient. I'll order someone to get some tonics for your mother later. She worries a lot about you and her hair has turned white."
"...Thank you, Princess, for the reward."
…
"The Duke's wife and the old princess are coming to the mansion as guests?" In the study, Xiao Junlan put down the books in his hands in surprise.
Cen Yurong stood obediently in front of him, "Miss Liang said that she has always liked Yu Rong and wanted to come as a guest through Mrs. Shizi's connections, but she was rejected. The Duke's wife didn't want to disappoint her, so she agreed to Yu Rong's invitation."
When Xia Yunxian was mentioned, Xiao Junlan's eyes seemed to change slightly.
"Miss Liang and I talked for a few words and felt that we were very close. She also told Yu Rong that the Crown Prince's wife always mentioned her treatment for the prince when she met everyone. The prince said that he did not want to be too ostentatious when he returned to Beijing this time."
Cen Yurong elaborated on Liang Qianqian's words without changing her expression, and she carefully observed Xiao Junlan's expression.
No one likes to be used. Xia Yunxian's behavior is undoubtedly draining the prince's favor towards her.
Maybe taking this opportunity can make the prince give up his intention of reusing Xia Yunxian in the future.
"I understand." However, Xiao Junlan just responded lightly, and then said, "When a distinguished guest comes to visit, please make arrangements properly and don't neglect the guest."
Cen Yurong immediately understood what he meant. She must know that the prince's food and daily life have always been as simple as possible, and the items are not expensive but refined.
They have always wanted to get closer to the Duke's Mansion, but Duke Liang is difficult to deal with. With this rare opportunity, they must leave a good impression on them!
Cen Yurong hurriedly went down to give instructions. Xiao Junlan looked at her back with a profound expression on her face.
His princess was rarely so afraid of someone. There were countless beauties who wanted to get close to him in the past, and some of them made rude remarks to her, but Cen Yurong never took them seriously, let alone hinted at anyone in front of him. No.
But what she said just now was guiding him, both inside and outside, that the Crown Prince's wife was a petty and extremely vain woman.
Xiao Junlan had never seen her look so out of control. Why was she so hostile to a married woman?
I hope she won't make wrong judgments because of this prejudice.
The house quickly became busy, and everyone was preparing to entertain the distinguished guests.
High-quality bird's nests, expensive wings, rare bear paws, and various valuable ingredients were successively sent to the dining room and prepared.
Aunt Huang looked at the mountains of delicacies in front of her, her heart beating fast.
So many treasures cost a lot of money, right?
The princess spent too much money to entertain the Duke of Guo's Mansion and Prince Pingnan's Mansion!
But for some reason, she felt unspeakably uneasy in her heart.
At this time, Song Jin'er passed by and seemed to be preparing to enter the palace to go to the training hall, but she was quickly stopped by her.
"Qianqian is coming to the house as a guest? I don't know about this." Song Jin'er looked at Nanny Huang in front of her expressionlessly, and left without saying anything else.
have no idea?
Nanny Huang was filled with weirdness and quickly told Cen Yurong.
"A girl from the mountains, do you really think Miss Liang will treat her as a friend? She will definitely not tell her anything."
After hearing this, Cen Yurong felt calm and didn't notice anything fishy in it.
There was a bit of a proud smile on her face, and she looked at Aunt Huang, "I fell in love with a house surrounded by flowers. Obviously the Queen Mother loves the prince so much, but every time she returns to Beijing, we have to squeeze into such a small house. place."
A prince with a vassal territory can only enter the capital after being summoned. Therefore, he does not have his own palace in the capital and can only spend money to buy a house.
In the past, the prince kept a low profile, and she had no chance to mention the change of residence. Now that he was hosting a large banquet, she felt more and more that the house was too small now, and she might be laughed at by the people in the Duke's Palace and Pingnan Palace.
"After the matter is successfully concluded, the prince will definitely listen to my opinion. After all, the relationship between the three families has been consolidated. It will be more convenient for us to visit frequently in the future and entertain guests."
"Princess, you are very considerate." Nanny Huang flattered her, thinking that she should also be able to have a big room, and she instantly dispelled her inexplicable doubts.
The princess's kindness will definitely have good results!
