"His Royal Highness the Third Prince?" Yan Zixi secretly thought in her heart, the mother concubine of the Royal Highness of the Three Princes is the concubine, didn't the concubine let him come?

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "If you come, you will come, if you don't care, you don't need to be so flustered!" ”

His Royal Highness the Third Prince said...... Said you want to see you, Princess? Xiaomei hurriedly explained.

"See me? What do I have to see? Besides, I'm Jing Cong's wife, the dignified Princess Xiao, did he say that he would see me when he saw me? Don't you need to avoid suspicion? ”

Xiaomei shook her head and said nervously: "Princess, he is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and even the old prince has to give him some thin noodles." The slave thinks it's better to see it, right? ”

"In that case, let's meet."

Yan Zixi saw Xiaomei say this, and felt that it was the same, after all, he was a prince, and if he didn't see it, he would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Xiaomei, help me make up."

"Yes, Princess!"

Xiaomei hurriedly walked over, and after dressing up for Yan Zixi, Yan Zixi changed into a luxurious red robe, and then walked out of the room.

When I arrived in the hall, a young man in a python robe had been waiting for a long time.

Yan Zixi hurriedly walked over and bowed respectfully.

"Yan Zixi, the young princess of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, see His Royal Highness the Third Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"Get up!"

A magnetic and lazy voice sounded, Yan Zixi stood up from the ground when she heard this, and looked up at Xiao Yuchen, the third prince in front of her.

I have to say that the three princes Xiao Yuchen have indeed inherited the excellent genes of his mother, Concubine Niangniang, with a white face that is delicate and clean, delicate skin, eyebrows and eyes like jade, and he is really an indescribable beautiful man.

Especially the innate laziness and the faint scholarly temperament that exudes from the inside out, it is simply a killer of countless girls!

Pity......

I already have Xiao Jingcong, a handsome guy like you is useless to me!

Yan Zixi retracted her gaze, and said to Xiaomei, the maid next to her, "Xiaomei, what are you still doing?" Hurry up and serve tea to His Royal Highness the Third Prince! ”

"Yes, Princess!"

"Hey, no. Princess Xiao, this time the king came to you, and it was also on the order of the concubine, please come over to the house to talk about it. Xiao Yuchen didn't have ink, and explained his intention directly.

Yan Zixi frowned her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, her eyes lit up, and a trace of doubt appeared on her face, "Oh? I don't know what the lady wants to do with me? ”

Xiao Yuchen waved his hand, and a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's not a big deal, I just want to invite Princess Xiao to come to the mansion to chant poems and exchange experiences." I heard that Princess Xiao wrote more than ten poems in one breath at the Jingwangfu Poetry Meeting yesterday, and now these poems are circulating in the palace, and even the queen is full of praise for your poems! ”

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is serious, Zixi is just talking nonsense, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. As for the exchange of ideas...... Zixi has been feeling dizzy and weak since she returned home yesterday, and she is afraid that she has suffered from the wind and cold......"

Yan Zixi deliberately coughed twice as she spoke, and then continued: "...... Zixi felt unwell, and she was afraid that she would not be able to go. When Zixi is cold, he will definitely visit in person and apologize to Concubine Shu. ”

"What did Princess Xiao say, what did you apologize for, what are you guilty of? In this case, Princess Xiao will have a good rest, and the king will go back to his mother to return to his mother and say goodbye! ”

Saying that, Xiao Yuchen didn't stay long, turned around and walked out of the hall and left the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

After Xiao Yuchen left, Yan Zixi breathed a sigh of relief.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is very scheming, and he can't figure it out at all!"

Yan Zixi muttered in her mouth, and the maid Xiaomei on the side heard it, and responded with a smile, "Princess, most of the people in the palace are secretive and unpredictable!" Not to mention those royal highnesses, just the young general, the slaves and maids can't figure it out! ”

"You girl! How dare you say that I am Jingcong? Jing Cong is different from those princes in the palace, I know him very well, and I know everything well! ”

When Xiaomei heard this, she laughed out loud, and hurriedly gave a thumbs up, "Princess, you are still amazing!" ”

Just when Yan Zixi and Xiaomei were joking, Xiao Yu ran over in a panic again, but he didn't expect that as soon as the third prince left, Xiao Yu immediately ran in in a hurry to report to Yan Zixi.

"Princess, the second princess is here!"

"What? Second Imperial Princess?! Which second princess? ”

"It's the wife of His Royal Highness the Second Prince......"

"Second prince Xiao Yuxian? He also sent someone? Yan Zixi said suspiciously.

When Xiaomei heard this, she hurriedly shushed at Yan Zixi, "Princess, don't you want to die?" How can you call His Royal Highness the Second Prince by his name? ”

"It's strange, first the third prince, and now the second prince, these princes came to me one by one, what kind of medicine are sold in the gourd?" happy

Soon, Xiaoyu brought the people from the Second Prince's Mansion over, who were the personal maids of the Second Prince.

When she saw Yan Zixi, she first saluted respectfully, and then explained her intention.

It turned out that the second imperial concubine held a fundraising meeting today and wanted to invite Yan Zixi to participate.

Yan Zixi looked suspicious, and did not give a direct reply, but said to the maidservant.

"Sit down for a while, and the princess will go and say hello to her mother."

Saying that, Yan Zixi walked out of the hall with the maid Xiaomei, and went straight to the door of Mrs. Xiao's room.

Mama Rong saw Yan Zixi coming and stopped her at the door.

"Mama Rong, I'm sorry for you to spread the word and say that Yan Zixi has something important to ask to see."

"Princess, why do you want to see Madame?" Mama Rong was about to ask, and Mrs. Xiao's coughing voice came from the room.

"Mama Rong, let Zixi come in!"

"Yes!"

When Mama Rong heard Mrs. Xiao's words, she didn't dare to slack off, so she invited Yan Zixi in, but Xiaomei was left outside.

After Yan Zixi entered, she greeted Mrs. Xiao, and then told her what had just happened.

"Qi Qi concubine, the second imperial concubine held a fundraising meeting and sent someone to invite the concubine, should the concubine go to the meeting?"

"Fundraiser?!" Mrs. Xiao frowned slightly when she heard this, and asked strangely: "Didn't a similar form be held in the Jingwang Mansion yesterday, why did the two imperial concubines do more?" ”

Yan Zixi shook her head, "This concubine doesn't know. The concubine guessed that it may be that the second imperial concubine was not invited to yesterday's poetry meeting, and the second imperial concubine organized this fundraising conference separately......"

"Well, there is a possibility of this...... Mrs. Xiao nodded slightly, agreeing with Yan Zixi's guess.

Yan Zixi then asked again: "Mother, is the concubine going or not going there?" ”

"Since the second princess has already sent someone to invite you, you should go to the appointment. The second prince is in full swing, and he has the support of many ministers in the court, whether it is the order of the eldest and youngest, or the merits and political achievements, His Royal Highness the second prince is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince, so it is better not to offend our general's palace. ”

Mrs. Xiao squinted her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then instructed Yan Zixi: "Zixi, you go to the account room to spend a thousand taels of gold and two pieces of jade and jade, and send them over!" ”

Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, but saw Yan Zixi standing in place, looking like she wanted to say something and stopped, and asked in her mouth, "What's wrong?" Zixi, do you still have any questions? ”

"If you go back to your mother, does the concubine think that the gold raised is too much?"

"What do you mean?"

"The concubine thinks that the gold can be dispensed with, and it is good to just send two pieces of jade and jade."

"What?!" When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Zixi, do you want the Second Imperial Concubine and those people to laugh at our Zhenguo General's Mansion?" ”

Yan Zixi heard Mrs. Xiao's worries, and explained, "Mother, I didn't mean that. Giving two pieces of jade and jade will not only not be laughed at, but will be praised by others! ”

"Huh?!" Mrs. Xiao's old face wrinkled, and a fine light flashed in her old eyes, "What do you mean......"

"The concubine thought, we have donated a lot of jewelry yesterday, and if we take out so much money at once to raise money today, wouldn't we be mocking the princesses who were present yesterday? This is one of them. Second, since the flood broke the embankment, Jing Cong has been supervising the repair day by day without interruption, and his heart can be expressed, if he donates too much money, it will attract discussions, and people will suspect that the money from the general's palace is unknown......"

Mrs. Xiao is a smart person, although Yan Zixi did not make her words clear, but Mrs. Xiao already understood what Yan Zixi meant.

She stood up, took two steps back and forth, pondered for a while, and then nodded and agreed with Yan Zixi's approach, "Okay, it's up to you, just spend two pieces of jade and jade from the treasury and send them!" ”

"The mother concubine is wise, the concubine will do it! The concubine retired! ”

Yan Zixi saluted again, and then withdrew from the door, Mrs. Xiao looked at the background of Yan Zixi's departure, and there was a rare trace of satisfaction in her old eyes.

"It seems that this daughter-in-law is not as bad as imagined...... It can be cultivated well...... In the future, maybe I can really help Cong'er......"

……

After Yan Zixi left Mrs. Xiao's room, she asked Xiaomei to reply to the second princess's person, saying that she was going to go to the second prince's mansion to pay a visit in person, and asked her to go back to her life first.

Yan Zixi went to the treasury, and asked the bookkeeper for two pieces of jade and jade into a delicate wooden box, and after doing this, Yan Zixi took the maid Xiaomei, and the two guards Mo Yun and Bai Qian went out of the mansion together, and went straight to the second prince's mansion in the palace as a carriage.

……

There was nothing to say all the way, and when I arrived at the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion smoothly, someone had already greeted me outside.

Under the leadership of the subordinates, Yan Zixi walked through the huge courtyard and finally came to the side hall, where many ladies were also present. However, the identities of these people are far less noble than those at yesterday's poetry meeting, and most of them are the ministers and wives who are close to the second prince.
