Chapter 31: Breaking the Mirror
"Lord Fang has taken a fancy to the female official?" The crown prince joked.
Fang Shuozhang immediately came back to his senses, his eyes were a little strange, and he paused for a moment before saying, "Prince, that female official...... Wechen knows. ā
"Oh?" The prince raised his eyebrows and motioned to Fang Shuozhang to explain.
She ...... It's a micro-minister's, a wife. ā
Fang Shuo was embarrassed and ashamed.
The crown prince is in a high position, so he naturally does not pay attention to these things. Even if he knew that Fang Shuozhang and divorced, Chang Runzhi had also been married, and he had never linked the two of them together.
After listening to Fang Shuozhang at this time, Fang asked carefully what was going on.
Of course, what Fang Shuozhang said is somewhat different from what Chang Runzhi said.
"Chang female officials have a gentle temperament, and the crown princess has been in front of the lonely face several times. Lord Fang missed her, but I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. The prince smiled and shook his head.
The prince said this unintentionally, but Fang Shuozhang heard it in his ears, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but say: "Speaking of which...... Seeing her now, Weichen feels that he was too young and vigorous to reconcile with her at the beginning. ā
"Oh?" The prince was curious: "Hearing what you said, do you regret it?" ā
Fang Shuozhang hung his head and was silent.
The prince felt that this matter was not a big deal: "If you regret it, then marry her again." In the end, it is not the original couple. ā
When the prince mentioned yƬ like this, he felt very reasonable: "Now that she is doing things in front of the crown princess, and you are doing things in front of Lonely, if you are reconciled as before, aren't you staging a good story of reunion?" ā
Fang Shuozhang was very moved, and thanked the prince again and again for his "mention".
He had long forgotten what Chang Runzhi had said, and they had been strangers ever since.
Chang Runzhi calmly took the account book back to the crown princess to resume his life, Wei Zi behind him held his breath, and waited for Chang Runzhi to retreat before he couldn't help but speak: "Why are you so unlucky today, you actually saw Lord Fang!" ā
Chang Runzhi glanced at her, and said helplessly: "He works in the household department, and he works under the prince, although it is unexpected to see him, it is not impossible." Just don't take it seriously. ā
Wei Zi looked at Chang Runzhi's face before he exhaled: "The slave is afraid that he will disturb the girl's mind." ā
Chang Runzhi smiled: "Don't worry, I have no feelings for him." ā
That's the big truth.
Wei Zi was very happy to hear this, but Yao Huang was thoughtful.
"What's wrong?" Chang Runzhi noticed her face and asked softly.
Yao Huang said: "I don't know if it's the illusion of a slave, I saw Lord Fang today...... I think he still seems to have affection for the girl. After the girl left, he kept looking at the girl's back without blinking. ā
Chang Runzhi smiled: "Oh," and tilted his head slightly: "Does it have anything to do with me?" ā
Yao Huang was stunned, and then the smile on his face widened: "Naturally, it's okay." ā
"It's good to know." Chang Runzhi smiled: "Okay, let's do something." ā
The re-encounter with Fang Shuozhang did not leave a ripple in Chang Runzhi's heart, and she was left behind in this way.
Summer is coming, the crown princess's morning sickness reaction began, and she handed over many things to Chang Runzhi, Chang Runzhi became busier, and the frequency of going to the front yard also increased.
Then she found that there seemed to be more and more opportunities for her to meet Fang Shuozhang.
When he met Fang Shuozhang a few times, the prince would also urge them to walk away, leaving them a space to be alone.
Fang Shuozhang also became soft-spoken, even if he was talking about business, there was affection in her eyes.
Chang Runzhi felt very irritable.
After a few times, she simply divided what she was going to do in the front yard to You Zhu and Qianbi, so as to avoid meeting Fang Shuozhang again.
But this time, the crown princess spoke.
"You are a female official, go to the front yard to deal with the people around the prince and do business, how can you let You Zhu Qianbi and the two maidservants go?"
The crown princess disagreed very much, and explicitly ordered that Chang Runzhi was not allowed to shirk responsibility.
Chang Runzhi frowned and said bluntly: "Your Highness, Weichen doesn't want to go to the front yard because he doesn't want to meet Master Fang Shuo Zhangfang. If His Royal Highness can talk to the prince and prevent Lord Fang from appearing in front of Weichen again, he will not shirk the blame for doing things in the front yard. ā
The crown princess didn't expect Chang Runzhi to be so straightforward, and she was obviously choked up, and only then did she smile stiffly: "Lord Fang...... Did he offend you? ā
"He's Wechen's ex-husband." Chang Runzhi also didn't go around the bend with the crown princess: "Weichen doesn't want to have any more intersections with him." ā
When Chang Runzhi said this, he already felt that she had a very clear attitude.
But the crown princess didn't know if her brain had become stupid because she was pregnant, and at this time she actually said to Chang Runzhi seriously: "The husband and wife are still the original match, and he wants to renew his good relationship with you, so don't be too upright...... If a man wants to hang, he can't go too far, otherwise he will push the man farther and farther. ā
The more Chang Runzhi listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.
When I was in the palace and met the princess pavilion for the first time, the princess listened to her story and didn't say anything like "husband and wife are still the original match".
And the words she persuaded today showed that she knew Fang Shuozhang.
During those days, the crown princess often sent her to the front yard to run errands, and she also intended to let Fang Shuozhang have more contact with her?
Why?
Thinking of the prince's narrow expression when he saw her and Fang Shuozhang, what else did Chang Runzhi not understand?
She was a little angry, but more helpless.
If the prince and his wife want to match her and Fang Shuozhang again, they must ask her opinion first, right?
Chang Runzhi didn't want to argue with the crown princess, so he only said: "Your Highness, Weichen has been working by His Royal Highness's side, and he hasn't taken a vacation to go back to the Hou Mansion for a long time." Now there are no major events in the prince's mansion, and I ask His Royal Highness to allow Weichen to take a few days off. ā
The crown princess thought that she was making an awkward scene, and persuaded Chang Runzhi to insist on two sentences, so she was also a little angry.
Seeing this, Chang Runzhi could only say vaguely: "Rong Weichen went back and thought about it." ā
Only then did the crown princess appease and happily grant leave.
When Chang Runzhi came to say goodbye, the crown princess also smiled and said, "Let Lord Fang go to your house to meet you when the time comes." ā
Chang Runzhi only smiled, and said in his heart: No matter how he visits, it is impossible for him to see me anyway.
Chang Runzhi packed up his things and took Yao Huang and Wei Zi to return to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion from the ground.
On that day, the prince was busy during the day and rested in the princess's courtyard at night.
"The female officer is on vacation?" The prince was curious: "She's not feeling well?" ā
The crown princess was helpless: "She said that she wanted to go back and think about it, probably because Lord Fang had bothered her these days." ā
"It's to make her confused." The prince disagreed: "Lord Fang is beautiful, and she is a female official, but she has climbed high." If you hold the shelf again, it's boring. ā
The crown princess was silent.
Her psychology is actually very contradictory.
On the one hand, I hope that Chang Runzhi can refuse Fang Shuozhang and be a woman who is not led by the nose by men.
On the other hand, why does she feel that she can reconcile if she has a bad life? Her status is so noble and she can't do what she wants, why can she always run it?
In such a contradictory state of mind, the crown princess has a tacit attitude towards Fang Shuozhang's courtesy and the prince's facilitation.
But she didn't know that because of her attitude, Chang Runzhi decided to maintain the courtesy of a "monarch and minister" to her, and never have a "friend" again.
