Chapter Ninety-Six: Planning
In the prince's mansion, the princess stands in the backyard to enjoy the flowers, and now it is the season when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the garden is full of chrysanthemums of all colors, which are particularly delicate.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Crown Princess's side at some point, "It's not been peaceful outside lately, if there is nothing important, you don't want to leave the house." ”
Thinking about its deep meaning, the crown princess realized the profoundness, "Your Highness should also pay attention to safety." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled, "Don't worry! I've got it all figured out. ”
"Which prince is so unwilling?" The crown princess asked.
"Could it be King Qin?"
The crown prince said, "King Qin is suffering from a leg disease, and there is no possibility of succession." He wouldn't do it again. ”
"It's King Qi, who has always been peaceful, and he has recently made a move."
"King Qi?" The crown princess pondered.
"Is it because of Princess Qi?" The crown princess suddenly realized.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded solemnly, "That's right, it should be Princess Qi who hates me for capturing Song Guozhong." ”
The crown princess looked angry, "This princess Qi has always understood righteousness, but now it seems that she is also unclear." ”
"King Qi can listen to what she says, which shows his sincerity. But if she instigated King Qi so much, wouldn't she want to harm King Qi? ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked gloomy, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if the fourth child insists on doing so, it's no wonder I'm ruthless." ”
At a critical juncture, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out at sunrise and returned at sunset.
The crown princess only practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the mansion with peace of mind, and the rest were ignored.
Even if the ladies of each family sent invitations to invite the princess to the banquet, the princess refused them one by one.
On this day, Zhuye walked in from outside with a cautious face, and before she could think about how to reply, the crown princess asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhu Ye replied, "The third lady invited Niangniang to go to the Rongguo Mansion to reminisce about the old days, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already instructed Niangniang not to go out these days." ”
Zhu Qing also echoed on the side, "If it's someone else, it's just a third lady." The most coincidental thing is that the third lady is pregnant, so it is not suitable to move around. Otherwise, you can ask the third lady to come over. ”
The crown princess thought for a moment, and calmly ordered, "The third lady is a cautious and careful person, at this time, if there is no difficulty, she should not hand me a post." ”
Zhu Ye said, "Having said that, but Niangniang can't be careless after all!" ”
The crown princess also nodded, and then ordered, "In this way, prepare some gifts, and you will take this trip." If the third lady really has any difficulties, you can also come back and tell me. ”
Zhu Ye hurriedly replied cautiously, "Yes, the slave maid will definitely live up to the mission of the mother." ”
Zhuye went to the Rongguo Mansion at noon, but after an hour and a half, he returned to the Prince's Mansion.
Seeing that Zhuye's face was in a hurry, the crown princess knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "But is there something?" ”
Zhu Ye said cautiously, "It's true that there is something, but it's not that the third lady has something." ”
"What do you mean by that?" The crown princess asked suspiciously.
Zhuye was lucky, "Fortunately, the crown princess didn't go on this trip in person, otherwise this Rongguo Mansion wouldn't have laid out a net waiting for Niangniang to go?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" The crown princess's heart was naturally shocked.
"The slave maid went to the Rongguo Mansion to visit the third lady, but the young grandmother in charge of the Rongguo Mansion blocked her in every possible way, and the slave and maid moved out of the mother, so that she could see the third miss."
Seeing the third miss this time, the slave maid knew why the other masters of the Rongguo Mansion didn't let the slave maid see the third miss. It turned out that the third lady didn't deliver the news to the prince's mansion at all. This news was sent by the people of the Rongguo Mansion on their own initiative. ”
"Who knows what they're thinking!"
The crown princess was shocked, and she was also in vain.
If she remembers correctly, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Rongguo Mansion has her mother's surname Huang, and Princess Qi's maternal grandfather's family is also surnamed Huang.
They were cousins. Princess Qi instigated King Qi to rebel, how could she not promise some benefits to those close to her, so that they could do things for herself?
The crown princess's face was still calm, "I know, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes back, I will send someone to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
"Zhuqing, you pass the word and call all the stewards in the prince's mansion, this palace has something to order."
"Zhuye, you go out of the house again, call the shopkeepers in those shops, and after an hour, the palace will tell them something."
"Yes." The two big girls were ordered to do it.
Qiushui and Qiuyue were waiting beside the crown princess, but the princess still sent people out, "You go and call Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhang, there is something important in the palace to discuss with them." ”
Autumn water and autumn moon went by themselves.
Zhu Ye was the first to come back, and the housekeepers in the prince's mansion had naturally gathered at Hui Yaxuan.
But the crown princess still waited for Concubine Jing for a quarter of an hour, and discussed things with Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhang first.
Concubine Shanshan was late, and Concubine Zhang said in a coquettish voice, "Why did Concubine Niangniang come so late?" ”
Concubine Jing hurriedly confessed to the crown princess, "The concubine is late, and I ask the princess to forgive me." When Niangniang sent someone to deliver the message, the concubine was bathing, so the time was delayed. ”
The crown princess was also tolerant, and only said indifferently, "Sit down!" ”
Concubine Zhang asked in a coquettish voice, "I don't know what the princess has to say?" ”
The crown princess went straight to the point, "Your time to enter the palace is not short, and you won't say polite words in the palace." Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy outside day and night, you must be able to guess a thing or two. ”
"Since you have entered the Prince's Mansion, you are the people of the Prince's Mansion. Coexist and die with the Prince's Mansion, share glory and disgrace. ”
"At this time, everything is small and let go first, and unanimity is the most important thing. I don't know if the two of you agree with the words of this palace? ”
The crown princess asked deliberately and waited for another moment.
Sure enough, Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhang both expressed their attitudes, "The concubine and the prince's mansion live and die together, and share glory and disgrace." ”
The crown princess smiled, "Okay, His Royal Highness the crown prince is not wrong about you. ”
"At this time, we have to work together to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a decent next day, he will definitely remember our goodness. ”
"That's what the mother said." Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhang both had a look of approval.
The crown princess smiled, "Okay, you two can deal with it yourself!" Hongu still has something to do. ”
This time, Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhang were willing to bow respectfully.
After Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhang explained the benefits, the crown princess let those in charge come in and listen to the orders.
What the steward said was nothing more than those who worked hard, cheered up, and didn't let others have an opportunity.
He also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not forget their goodness, but if they were wrong, they would also deal with it impartially.
A lecture made those subordinates tremble. In terms of behavior, there can also be fewer mistakes.
When the people in charge of the mansion went down, the shopkeepers in the shops outside were announced to the prince's mansion one by one.
The crown princess beat them one by one and let them go back.
originally thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come back after dinner, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually came back in the evening, and he also brought back a son.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and introduced, "This is the Crown Princess, Su Shi." ”
He said to the crown princess again, "This is my friend I met outside, Fang Yihua." ”
As soon as the crown princess saw that Fang Yihua, she was shocked in her heart, wasn't this the man she met in the pavilion that day?
And he teased him a little.
Fang Yihua also looked shocked.
After a long time, Fang Yihua said, "I have heard for a long time that the crown princess is both beautiful and beautiful, and I will see it today." That's true. ”
Seeing that Fang Yihua didn't mean to break it, the crown princess also said in accordance with the words, "Fang Gongzi praised it falsely. ”
"The concubine will send someone to prepare dinner, and ask Gongzi Fang to stay for dinner."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded in response, "Well, send someone to prepare!" ”
"Brother Fang, let's go to the study to discuss matters." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said generously.
"Okay." Fang Yihua nodded in response.
This Fang Yihua, the crown princess has heard of it. She is a person from the rivers and lakes and is the young owner of Fangjia Villa.
The family's industry is not only involved in business, but also involves martial arts, weapons, etc. There is also an intelligence network all over the Western Chu State.
Rich rivals the country, and that's exactly what happened.
It's just that I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got acquainted with this person.
The crown princess instructed, "Let the big kitchen prepare dinner carefully, and the guests invited back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today must not be neglected." ”
The maid of Hui Yaxuan has always thought that the princess obeyed her orders, and now there is no reason why she should not do it.
Moyun Hall, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Yihua stood by the window.
Fang Yihua said with a straight face, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Qi to have such a mind?" It's hateful. ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, "This time, I want to thank Brother Fang for his weapon." ”
Fang Yihua waved his hand and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to say thank you, but it wasn't His Highness who rescued me at the beginning, and I don't have it today." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, "Brother Fang doesn't need to say thank you anymore, Brother Fang has also helped me a lot over the years." ”
"I wonder when His Highness got into trouble?" Fang Yihua asked.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in a deep voice, "As long as King Qi makes a move, His Royal Highness will take it down in one fell swoop." ”
Fang Yihua was shocked, but he didn't ask more.
If His Royal Highness King Qi wants to seize power, he must move the emperor first. But looking at the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no intention of preparing in advance at all, aren't you afraid that when the time comes, the sword has no eyes, and it will hurt the emperor?
Or is it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already prepared a perfect plan?
Fang Yihua is getting more and more unable to see the prince.
During the conversation, Fang Yihua suddenly said, "I heard that there are three beauties in the mansion of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and said, "That's true." ”
Fang Yihua smiled heartily, "Your Highness is really happy, I don't think I have a woman to accompany me!" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said, "With your identity, as long as you say hello, what kind of woman doesn't have it?" I'm afraid that Brother Fang doesn't want to settle, right? ”
Fang Yihua only smiled slightly, but his heart was desolate.
Now he has that unattainable woman in his heart. Other women, no matter how good they are, are just going to settle.
