Chapter 61: Forced Entry
Rong Ji is here with the crown princess, she has long been charming, taking out her ability to slap horses, and constantly praising the princess and sisters for dressing up noble and beautiful today, just like coming out of a painting, coaxing the princess and Zhao Wanzhu's hearts are full of joy.
The old gardener, who had been bought by Xiaohong a long time ago, had gotten the news before, and was waiting for Xiaohong in the aisle of the prince's mansion and the private garden. Rong Ji even met him in person a few days ago, and carefully instructed the crown princess how to behave, how to respond, and at the same time promised to tempt him with a lot of money. The lustful old gardener saw Rong Ji's amorous appearance, and he had long let Rong Ji say what it was. What's more, there is Xiaohong's affection, the temptation of money, how can it not be allowed?
When Xiaohong took him to the crown princess, he knelt down to the princess with a plop and kowtowed to the princess according to the previous drill. Zhao Wanyao asked him to raise his head and asked him how he cultivated this double-petaled wood hibiscus.
As soon as the old gardener raised his head, his face turned red, and he muttered: "The crown princess is really better looking than the lady in the magnolia garden, she is simply a fairy." Then as if realizing that he had lost his temper, he hurriedly lowered his head again, and replied in a regular manner: "This flower seedling was brought back from Jiaozhou by the prince in the autumn of last year." This flower is afraid of the cold. The imperial capital is cold in winter, so it should be moved to a basin and kept warm indoors. Wait until the spring sprouts, then move to a fully light place and plant it in the ground, and wait until the summer to water enough every day to produce this large flower. As long as the flower breaks its branches in the spring and is planted in the ground, it can produce new branches. β
Then the old gardener explained the wonder of the flower: "The flower is now white with a hint of pink, and in a few hours it will be completely dark pink." In the evening, the flowers turn crimson. Madame also gave the flower a nice name, called the three drunken hibiscus. It's like a beautiful woman getting drunk. β
The crown princess was a little confused when she heard him mention what kind of lady. In this prince's mansion, who dares to call himself a lady besides himself? She asked the gardener directly, "Who is the lady in your mouth?" The old gardener seemed to have slipped out, and was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to say a word.
When Zhao Wanyao saw this, she felt even more strange, and changed her face to a pleasant face: "Don't be afraid." I just listened to you well. Feel free to talk to you. What kind of place are you talking about? β
The old gardener listened to her no longer asking about her wife, and replied with a sigh of relief: "It's the garden behind the prince's mansion." The name given by the prince last year is called Magnolia Garden. β
Zhao Wanyao frowned, when did the prince name the private garden, why didn't she know? She asked again, "Is there a lady living in the Mulan Garden?" What's her name? β
The old gardener also seemed to let go of his hands and feet: "Together with the crown princess, you already know where the lady lives?" I heard that his wife's name is Magnolia, and the prince is very kind to her. It seems that this flower was also because my wife liked it at a glance last year, so I planted branches in many places in the garden this spring. β
Zhao Wanyao felt her anger rising up. Yulan? Magnolia Garden? Madam? Okay, you Yuwen Moyuan, when did you find a goblin, and even lied to yourself that it was because you were busy with political affairs that you stayed in the private garden all night, but I didn't expect it to be to mess with the goblin. She was so angry that she didn't think about how an old man who tended to flowers and plants could get the name of his wife.
And Zhao Wanzhu was so angry that she patted the table and stood up: "Sister, can you bear this?!" The old gardener seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing, and he looked timid, and kept shouting for his mother to spare his life. The crown princess didn't have time to deal with him anymore, so she asked her maid to reward him with some money, and sent him away.
Although Zhao Wanyao was angry in her heart, she still wanted to wait for Yuwen Moyuan to come back and confront her again. She didn't believe that the prince would be so ruthless, and he would call himself husband and wife in the private garden behind his back. At this time, Rong Ji began to add fuel to the fire again, recalling the fact that the prince had entered her room for a short time and left again, and made a look of sudden realization.
Zhao Wanzhu's temper is much more irritable than Zhao Wanyao. After falling into the water last time, the entire Zhao Guogong Mansion held her in the palm of her hand, and she became more and more arrogant. She pulled Zhao Wanyao up: "Sister, is it tolerable or unbearable." This vixen actually seduced the prince under your nose, and if you don't teach her a lesson, you really think that there is no one in our Zhao Guogong Mansion! β
Zhao Wanyao was already angry, which made Zhao Wanzhu and Rong Ji even more angry. also took up the demeanor of the crown princess, and said to the people around him with a calm face: "Let's go, I want to see what kind of person this Yulan is!" β
Zhao Wanzhu unceremoniously brought all the people she brought from Zhao Guogong's mansion. Although Rong Ji wanted to go with her to see the excitement, she was afraid that she would be punished by Yuwen Moyuan when the time came, so she walked halfway, only to stumble, and went back to her residence first, but she asked Xiaohong to follow her to find out the news.
Zhao Wanyao was already so angry at this time that she even forgot that she had asked the wives of the family to win over the prince today. There was only one thought in her heart, she wanted to see who lived in this magnolia garden, why did the prince value her more than herself?!
Zhao Wanzhu also complained about her sister, but she didn't expect the prince to be such a person. After she fell into the water last time, she lingered on the sickbed for a long time, but she still felt much better when she heard that Wan Ping's fiancΓ©'s family was killed, and Wan Ping herself became a rebel. Later, Zhao Wanyao begged the prince again and asked the imperial doctor to treat Zhao Wanzhu, so that she could slowly recuperate. Now she is not only in better health, but her temper is better than before.
The two sisters of the crown princess soon arrived at the gate of the Magnolia Garden behind the prince's mansion. The sergeant on guard did not have the prince's order, but he did not dare to let the princess into the garden, so he quickly sent someone to the palace to deliver a letter to the prince. But they didn't dare to offend the crown princess, and the two sides were at a stalemate at the door. The crown princess thought that this private garden had changed its name for that magnolia, and she felt even more heartbroken, and she had to enter the garden for the first time.
Zhao Wanzhu was the most direct, and with the people of Zhao Guogong's Mansion, she went up with the guards. Although the guards have the order not to allow those without tokens to enter the garden, who really dares to touch a single hair of Zhao Wanyao's sisters, they can only stop the servants in the Prince's Mansion and Zhao Guogong's Mansion.
In this way, the crown princess took Zhao Wanzhu and others to step into the Mulan Garden for the first time. Zhao Wanyao looked at the various rare and exotic grasses in the magnolia garden, the tall magnolia tree, and felt that her heart was about to break. It's ridiculous that he is still bothering to win over the prince, but he is here to carefully arrange this big garden for others, and even the name has been changed to that slut.
Zhao Wanyao hurried all the way, but whenever she saw a servant, she asked the handmaid who knew how to punch and kick brought by Zhao Guogong's mansion to beat her first, then gagged and tied to the side. Xiaohong led the way for the princess intentionally or unintentionally. She had already asked the old gardener to inquire from his mother-in-law, and after the prince went to court, this lady's favorite place to go was the two-story love bell tower. She didn't believe she couldn't be caught there today.
