Chapter 37: Asking for Something (2nd Update)
The crown princess was really surprised when she heard the palace maid's report, glanced at the prince, and said: "This fourth brother and sister, I thought that she could be close to her when she entered the palace, but I didn't expect that in addition to the daily greetings, I didn't come out of the elder brother's office at other times, but I didn't come to meet the third brother and sister together, or I have guests here." "The former is a concubine and a concubine, the princess is not good at favoring one over the other, but no one can really speak, as for the latter, she is even more busy and lacks skills, so she can only entertain poorly, which means that so far, the two people have not had much contact.
In general, don't look at the prince and the fourth elder brother as if they are wearing the same pants, but the distance between the crown princess and Yunlan is a little far.
Originally, with the idea of the crown princess, only based on the relationship between the prince and the fourth brother, even if the fourth brother and sister did not flatter her, she should take the initiative to get along. It was because the prince gave her a task to see how the fourth brother and sister behaved, but she didn't take it seriously and agreed.
"I don't know if this man is too smart or too cautious." The crown princess shook her head and sighed, and the meaning of her words was also to let the prince understand that it was not that she was incapable or that she did not take the prince's instructions to heart, but that she had never had a chance. "I thought that when I was busy with the things at hand for a while, I invited her to come over as a guest, but there was another thing."
The prince also knew the reason, just for the errand of the fourth brother, it stands to reason that this has nothing to do with the political side, but this thing is also a major event for the benefit of the country and the people. Because Kangxi didn't want others to interfere in it, he had instructed in advance that no one could interfere except for the fourth elder brother, and the prince did not meet with the fourth elder brother in private for a few days in order to avoid suspicion. If the crown princess had made a move at this time, it would definitely be counted on his head.
It's just that whether she's smart or cautious, it's not so easy to at least get useful information from her. The prince still wants to have a brotherly relationship with the fourth elder brother, and among the remaining brothers, only the fourth brother can make him believe it. Although there are doubts, isn't that human?
If he hadn't taken the slightest precaution against people, his position as the prince would have been taken off a long time ago.
"Let's see what she's here to do?" The prince dropped this sentence, and got up and went back. After all, Yunlan is only a younger brother and sister, and he is only a prince and not an emperor, so he can still avoid meeting in private. The men of the Aixin Jueluo family are a little cautious, it's just the size, and the prince understands this very well.
Not long after the prince left, a palace man approached and whispered, "I went to the Zhu family." ”
The Zhu family was originally a palace maid waiting in the study, and after being fortunate by the prince, the princess directly brought people back to the apse and opened her face to be a concubine, which was considered to be an acknowledgment of her identity. Compared with being exposed to many court and political affairs in the study, even if the crown princess is not happy, she will naturally show her virtuousness when she knows that it is impossible to get people away.
"Got it." The crown princess nodded expressionlessly, can she still stop the prince from accepting women in this world? As long as the family background is not the kind of place that comes out of an unsightly place, I am afraid that a few big heads in the palace are happy to agree, who calls the prince's heir empty, the previous two times were pregnant with one and dropped the other, if you don't try your best to cover it up, the bad reputation will spread out, and it will be a troublesome thing.
The crown princess sighed and asked people to invite Yunlan in.
Although she waited for a while, Yun Lan was still very patient, and even those who were secretly observing did not notice a trace of impatience on her face.
From entering the palace to the front of the crown princess, there has always been a decent smile on her face, Yunlan smiled in her heart, these are all practiced, aren't they?
I thought that when I saw the crown princess, there might be some trouble, after all, she also knew the other party's thoughts these days, but she was just sloppy on purpose.
It's just that this time I came to the original owner, Yunlan had already made up my mind that if it was just some verbal ridicule, I would accept it, and I wouldn't lose a piece of meat on my body anyway, and I didn't have to eat a bite of food when I went back, so I didn't care.
I didn't think that the princess's performance was a little unexpected for her.
"It's rare that you have time to come over, is there something wrong?" The crown princess's expression was very happy, and those who didn't know must have thought that the two of them had a very deep friendship.
But Yunlan is her own family knows her own affairs, she has sensitive facial features, who is kind and who is ill-intentioned, although she can not tell immediately, but as long as you get along more, you can also detect it.
It can only be said that the crown princess naturally has no ill will towards her, but the two of them are indeed not very close, and they are almost friends who have business contacts in the cooperative company and are quite close.
As soon as Yunlan approached, he was pulled to sit down.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that no matter how small it is, it's also related to my mother's family after all, if you just ask me, I'm not at ease, the second sister-in-law is in charge of the harem, I shouldn't have bothered, but I can't get out." After saying that, he sighed.
She didn't want to be said to come to the crown princess because she had something, so she avoided it if she had nothing to do. Who called the crown princess was really busy, she was out of good intentions and didn't want to trouble her, so she didn't come to Yuqing Palace much.
As for her coming to the crown princess, she did ask for something, since she didn't leave the palace, someone had to come in, although it was okay to find other lords, such as Concubine Tong, who showed goodwill from entering the palace, that is, if Concubine De asked for it, she could also get an answer, but she also saw that the princess had a temptation for her.
If you always avoid it again and again, but provoke the other party to investigate deeply, it is better to take this opportunity to send it to the door. What's more, it is easier for people to accept something than nothing.
Sure enough, after the crown princess heard her request, she said coquettishly: "What else should I do, you send someone over to say no, and come here with a blank eye." "Do you want to see your mother's family? I don't know if something happened to the Ulanara family? Since the prince is concerned, he still has to say it when he turns around.
Yun Lan smiled.
"Even if it's to be lazy, I can't keep my door closed. I was too lazy to go elsewhere, but I liked the tea here from my second sister-in-law, so I cheekily came over to ask for a cup. He wrinkled his nose as he spoke: "The fourth master can say that the second brother and sister-in-law of the prince are both generous people." ”
"You've said so, can I still be stingy?" The crown princess looked at Yunlan with a smile: "Dare you love my tea here?" "Yuqing Palace can't just be a small bag, not to mention that it is the fourth brother and sister who are begging, fortunately, it is not a lot of expensive tea, although it is rare, but Yuqing Palace still has a lot, of course, it is here in Yuqing Palace, and the other elder brothers have a small bag that is already favored by the emperor.
The crown princess called a palace maid to get the tea, and also took the opportunity to tell the prince about the situation here.
