Chapter 62: Goodbye Wang Shutong
When Song Yi returned to Wentao Garden, he was uneasy.
She didn't know what the old lady would say if she left the prince?
I don't know if the prince has taken a fancy to Du Shuyin?
Song Yi was a little anxious in her heart, and she classified these as anticipation and uneasy emotions for the future hostess.
Song Yi's performance, Gui's mother saw it in her eyes.
Mother Gui put down the needle in her hand, pulled down Song Yi and said, "You girl, since you came back from Qingsong Courtyard, you have been restless?" Why, you're also fascinated? ”
Gui's mother heard about Du Shuyin for the first time, so she could naturally guess the old lady's plans.
But Gui's mother was not as impatient as Song Yi.
She naturally has great confidence in the prince. Others don't know, but she watched the prince grow up, the disasters and poisons that the prince has experienced since he was a child, how can he be a beauty, and a little show of favor can be written off?
Besides, Mother Gui didn't believe that the one in Qingsong Yuan would be so kind, so she suddenly thought about it and found a "virtuous helper" for the prince.
The daughter of the Du family? Mother Gui's heart is clear, I'm afraid things won't be so simple.
Song Yi saw that Gui's mother was not worried at all, and was very curious, "Gui's mother, why aren't you worried at all." Don't you see, Miss Du is beautiful. I was dumbfounded, let alone the prince. You weren't there at the time, and the eyes of the prince looked at Miss Du differently. I think so, Miss Du is afraid that she will soon become the heroine of our palace. ”
Song Yi's words were listened to by Zhu Xi, who had just returned.
Zhu Xi didn't have a smile on his face, and others couldn't tell whether he was angry or not.
Xiao Hei beside him looked worried, how could this Song Yi be open-mouthed, casually gossiping about the master behind his back.
It's okay now, I've been caught.
Xiao Hei snorted lightly and reminded Song Yi and Gui's mother, who were facing away from them.
Zhu Xi only glanced at Xiao Hei, naturally knowing that he was reminding the people in the house just now.
Zhu Xi didn't speak and walked into the house.
Song Yi looked embarrassed, and he was always a little embarrassed to be caught.
Song Yi hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, you're back, why don't you let people report it?"
Zhu Xi didn't answer, his face was still not good-looking.
Song Yi looked at it and knew that the other party was unhappy. So, he stepped forward diligently and took the initiative to take over Zhu Xi's command, shook the ice and snow on it, and hung it on the hanger.
Then he made a basin of hot water and waited for the prince to wash away the cold.
Mother Gui was on the side, thoughtfully, seeing that there were no other people in the room, and finally couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Lord Wang, I heard that the people of the Du family came to the palace today?" ”
"Hmm," Zhu Xi replied.
did not show disgust at Gui's mother's overstepping questioning. After all, Gui's mother has a special status, and there are only trusted people in the house.
Seeing this, Mother Gui asked cautiously, "What did the old lady say about the prince just now?" ”
Zhu Xi sat at the desk in the small study, took the hot tea from Gui's mother, and said, "What else can she say?" Just asking me what I think of Miss Du."
"Oh? The old slave guessed that she was really uneasy and kind, and she was beating the prince's idea. When Gui's mother heard this, she became alert on the spot, and her tone revealed hostility towards the old lady.
"Lord Wang, the old slave has a lot of words, no matter how beautiful this Miss Du is, you can't marry her."
Before Zhu Xi could speak, Song Yi couldn't help but interject.
"Mother Gui, you haven't seen Miss Du, how can you define people?"
"You know what? What good person can the old lady fancy be? It's good if she doesn't harm the prince, what good do you expect her to do? ”
Song Yi wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Zhu Xi was very curious, why did Song Yi have a good impression of Du Shuyin?
"Unless the king agrees to the marriage, no one else will want to influence it."
"That's nature! Lord, although the old slave also hopes that you will get married as soon as possible and spread out for the palace, the women of the Du family are better to provoke less."
Gui's mother has blind confidence in Zhu Xi, and she can't see the status quo clearly.
And Song Yi wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to hit Gui's mother, but he still endured it.
Zhu Xi looked at Song Yi's performance, "Just now, this king didn't pay much attention to Miss Du's character, the so-called bystander Qing, Song Yi, you were also at the scene just now." is also a woman, tell me about this king, what is Miss Du's character? Isn't there something else going on? ”
Song Yi didn't know what Wang Ye and Gui's mother were talking about, why they suddenly pointed the finger at themselves.
Song Yi thought that the gossip with Gui's mother just now was heard by the prince, so he simply said what he thought in his heart.
"Lord Wang, the slave maid is not as prejudiced against Miss Du as Mother Gui. The slave maid looked at Miss Nadu, her eyes were clear, her temperament was calm, and she didn't look like a scheming woman who was even at the mercy of others at will. As for the relationship between the old lady and the Du family, or any transactions between them, the slave maid thought that these were not things. The key is to see what the prince thinks of Miss Du. If the prince really likes it, just marry and go home to train him. It doesn't matter which young lady he is, when he enters our palace, he is the prince's person, are you still afraid that their Du family will put their hands into our palace? ”
Song Yi had a worried expression on Mother Gui's face.
Song Yi's indifferent expression, Zhu Xi was a little disappointed in his heart.
"You say everything."
The prince asked, and the slave could only know everything. Otherwise, it is hidden from the prince."
Gui's mother disagreed, "It's not as simple as you think. The old lady is a member of the Du family, if this Miss Du enters the palace and the two of them join forces, won't the entire palace become their world? Lord Wang, don't listen to Song Yi, this girl, it's better to abandon the daughter of the Du family as soon as possible, so as not to cause more trouble."
Zhu Xi only listened, but did not speak, he listened to the conversation between Song Yi and Gui's mother.
It's just that he has other ideas. Du Shuyin's appearance was something he had known for a long time.
He also knows that although the Du family is declining on the surface, it has a profound heritage, and has always been very careful about the cultivation of women in the family.
In addition to Du Shuyin, the Du family has cultivated many palace concubines, and many women of the Du family can appear in the princely and aristocratic mansions in the capital.
Zhu Xi didn't think that the Du family was as deep as it seemed, and he had a faint feeling that the Du family had been low-key all these years, and there would be a follow-up.
As for what the Du family is plotting? Zhu Xi's interest was greater than that of Du Shuyin.
However, he did not show all this to Song Yi and Gui's mother.
On the other side, after the Wang family returned from the old lady, he immediately asked people to send the news of Mrs. Du and Du Shuyin's coming to the palace back to her parents' house.
The next day, Wang Shutong came to visit the real palace with his mother Guan. Moreover, it is also said that he stayed with the Wang family to relieve the suffering of the Wang family.
Wang Shutong stayed in the palace. Song Yi finally saw her again.
