198, the imperial nephew was willing to go
After knowing this matter, the eldest princess turned into an out-and-out man of action, doing what she said, and even deliberately wore a court dress that symbolized her identity as the eldest princess.
When the eldest princess came out of the room, Ah Cha was taken aback.
"Comrade Eldest Princess, you ...... That's too formal, isn't it? β
I really don't blame her for making a fuss, it's really that court clothes are generally worn during sacrificial ceremonies or court politics, and they all have to be extremely solemn occasions.
Why did the eldest princess wear court clothes?
Before Ah Cha could ask the doubts in her heart, the eldest princess took the initiative to explain.
"Comrade Acha, aren't I just going to give the prince a big gift?"
"But what does giving a big gift have to do with wearing court clothes?"
Regarding Ah Cha's question, the eldest princess smiled lightly and slowly looked at her clothes.
"Ah Cha, what if my good royal brother knew that I would compromise with the prince one day, and even wore court clothes to invite the prince to the flower banquet?"
What will happen?
This answer was tacitly understood in the hearts of Ah Cha and the eldest princess.
Court clothes are generally worn on extremely important occasions, and the occasions when the eldest princess wears court clothes are more often worn when meeting the emperor or the queen mother.
And now that the eldest princess is wearing court clothes and openly going to see the prince, doesn't this mean that the eldest princess has compromised with the prince and is used by the prince?
The emperor is only bent on seeking immortality, but this definitely does not mean that the emperor is a fool who does not care about the world.
If the eldest princess humbly saw that the prince and the goddess conspired with the prince at the same time, the impact on the emperor's heart would be immeasurable.
Together, it is not an exaggeration for the emperor to think that the crown prince wants to usurp the throne.
On the side of the couch there is no room for others to snore.
Even if that person is his own son, the prince of the country can't do it.
When the time comes, let alone the crown prince, even if the queen mother comes to persuade herself, it can't dispel the suspicions in the emperor's heart.
In addition, the eldest princess just intends to maintain a compromise on the surface, and she has already decided to use the etiquette of the elders to suppress the prince.
Ah Cha didn't dare to think about how exciting it would be for the eldest princess to go on this trip.
"Comrade Eldest Princess, can you take me with you when you go?"
Ah Cha blinked her sparkling eyes and said what was on her mind.
Although she knew that it would be a bit presumptuous, the chances of the eldest princess taking her were a bit small.
But such an excellent gossip opportunity, such a big show, she really doesn't want to miss it.
The eldest princess shook her head lightly at her idea, but her words were undeniable.
"Comrade Acha, no."
If the eldest princess was full of rejection of going to the Prince's Mansion before, now she is completely looking forward to it.
After seeing Ah Cha immediately shrug her head, the eldest princess laughed even more wantonly.
"Comrade Acha, I'll take the first step, wait to celebrate me."
"Good...... bar. β
Now the envy in Ah Cha's heart has really reached the extreme, and she wants to see the excitement so much.
However, she also knew in her heart that if she went with her at this time to join in the fun, the emperor would definitely suspect them together.
So she was just joking.
She couldn't kill her with this kind of burning thing.
The eldest princess bowed slightly at her, then raised her head and chest, and walked towards the prince's mansion with a majestic spirit.
"Knock knock! Knock knock knockβ"
To say that the people the eldest princess is looking for are really not for eating rice, when she arrived at the door of the prince's mansion in this way, she had already attracted the attention of a large number of people.
And the eldest princess actually got off the sedan chair in advance and walked towards the door of the prince's mansion step by step.
"The eldest princess has arrivedβ"
The eldest princess is not only wearing court clothes, but also her own eldest princess honor guard is also brought out.
"This palace is here to send an invitation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today!"
"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see the palace!"
The eldest princess brushed her body and made a respectful posture in terms of etiquette.
It was because of this battle that the people in front of the Prince's Mansion gathered more and more, and surrounded the eldest princess and the people she led.
The guards guarding the door were originally ordered by the prince not to let the eldest princess enter the palace, but now when they saw that the situation was not right, they desperately ran towards the prince's study.
"Your Highness, it's not good! Oh no! β
The crown prince was already dealing with official business and was distraught, and now he was even more furious when he heard the guards shouting.
"What could be so bad! What kind of thing do you shout and scream like this! β
The guards were yelled at by the prince, and what they wanted to say immediately stopped, and stood firmly in front of the prince, not daring to say a word.
It is indeed a big deal for the eldest princess to come to the mansion with a strong momentum, but now that the prince is angry, if he says the wrong thing again, even his life will be lost.
No matter how important the news is, it can't compare to your own life.
Because of this delayed time, the eldest princess stood motionless at the door, causing the people to talk about it.
"The prince is too arrogant, the eldest princess, as his aunt, sent the invitation so sincerely, but he didn't want to see it."
"Yes, if you want me to say that the prince is relying on his status as a prince to embarrass the eldest princess."
"Not only that, I think the prince has gotten carried away and completely forgotten his identity."
"But even if you forget your identity, you should never embarrass your elders, no matter what the eldest princess says, she is the prince's aunt."
"The matter between these nobles is very complicated, maybe the prince has a lot of careful thoughts in his heart, so we ordinary people don't have to talk about it too much."
The eldest princess was close, so she naturally listened to every discussion of the people.
Even the smile in her eyes grew deeper.
The situation was much better than she had expected.
She arranged for one or two people to mix in with the people and stir up discussions.
But she never thought that the people would feel so much about it.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
As long as the crown prince loses the support of the people, coupled with the emperor's suspicion, it will not be long before he will kill himself, and there will be no future of success.
On the other hand, the crown prince.
He didn't realize at all what impact the eldest princess would have on himself, and even after he finally calmed down his emotions, he suddenly remembered the existence of this guard.
He gently rubbed his eyebrows and asked extremely impatiently,
"What exactly did you just say?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, your subordinates will say...... Said the eldest princess ......"
The guard was tempted to continue, but hesitated when he saw the prince's face.
"The main hall asked you to say-"
The Prince's patience is nearing its lowest level.
He didn't want to hear this guard stumbling around here anymore.
"Yes, yes, my subordinates will say."
The guard was so frightened by his roar that the three souls and seven spirits flew around, and finally stabilized himself, as if he wanted to save his life, and hurriedly explained.
"It's the eldest princess wearing court clothes, carrying her own guard of honor, beating gongs and drums all the way to the door of the house to send you an invitation, you see ......"
"What?! You said the eldest princess came in person? β
The prince jumped up from his chair in astonishment and asked the guards in disbelief.
"Yes, the eldest princess came in person, and she has been standing in front of the mansion for a while......"
"Didn't the main hall ask you to reject that invitation?"
"And why didn't you tell Hongu earlier!"
Yes???
Seriously, the guards are really aggrieved.
They really refused the invitation, but who would have thought that the eldest princess would come to the door in person.
Besides, he wanted to tell the prince earlier, but the prince didn't listen at all.
However, the prince did not expect to hear any answer from him, so he hurried to the front of the mansion in a hurry.
Even if he didn't have an idea, he knew very well the significance of the eldest princess's visit to his mansion at this moment.
To put it bluntly, the eldest princess is his elder.
Whether it is from the perspective of national law or filial piety, it is completely unreasonable for him to let his elders stand in front of his mansion for so long.
"Bang-"
The eldest princess watched quietly as the door of the Prince's Mansion, which had been closed for a long time, was finally opened.
Well, her good nephew still knew to come out to meet her.
She thought that this nephew would always be a shrunken turtle, so she hid like this.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this palace is specially holding a flower-viewing banquet tomorrow on the order of the Queen Mother, and I am here to send you an invitation today."
If you want to kill someone, you have to be one step ahead.
As the eldest princess spoke, the attendants beside her went to hand the invitation to the prince with great eyes.
And the prince was still stunned to look at the eldest princess in front of him and the people who surrounded the front of the prince's mansion.
"How can you pariahs stay at the gates of this temple? Don't disperse quickly! β
The prince didn't want today's events to be spread by these people, so he angrily reprimanded the people without using his brain.
Yo, this is the enemy who has sent his chance to himself.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, these people are all coming with the palace, and they have nothing to do with others, and the palace begs you not to blame them."
The eldest princess's words were not only sincere, but also made it clear that she wanted to protect these people.
What the people want to see most is that the superior can understand them.
Obviously, the eldest princess's words of defending them just held their minds.
There are always bold people in the crowd who speak up first.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the eldest princess is your elder anyway, how can you be a junior!"
"That's not it, whose junior is so rude to brew the elder alone at the door!"
"Yes, I see that the eldest princess's attitude can't be lower, and she uses the word 'pleading' to the prince."
The people's accusations against the prince floated like snowflakes, which caught the prince off guard.
"Presumptuous! Shut up you untouchables! β
"Someone! Go and arrest these untouchables in the main hall! β
The prince's orders were effective, but his guards stood by the door and looked at each other.
The people outside far outnumbered them.
No matter how strong their martial arts are, the people can't finish catching them.
And the eldest princess also made it clear that she wanted to protect these people.
Even if he borrowed ten of them, he wouldn't dare to offend one of them between the eldest princess and the crown prince.
It is true that the prince is the prince, but the eldest princess is the prince's aunt and the object of favor of both the queen mother and the emperor.
They can't afford to offend either of these two people.
Seeing this scene, the eldest princess was very satisfied.
But after standing for a long time, she wanted to sit down.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this palace is not in good health, and I am a little thirsty now, I wonder if I can go into the palace to ask for a cup of hot tea?"
The art in these words can be seen.
As soon as her words came out, the people's sympathetic eyes fell on her.
For the people, the eldest princess's move was completely to protect them from giving in to the prince.
How fortunate they are to have the understanding of such a superior person.
Coincidentally, the eldest princess was not satisfied with stopping at this step.
She turned around with a feigned difficulty and bowed deeply to all the people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have thanked you for explaining to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for me."
"It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young now, and I am afraid that there is something inconsiderate in doing things, I can understand it."
"It's not too early, so please all disperse."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young?
God knows how the eldest princess couldn't hold back her laughter when she said this.
Isn't a magnanimous elder supposed to be more tolerant of juniors?
Besides, she has already defended the prince, what else can others ask her to do?
Whether the prince is young or not, anyone with eyes can see it.
Her move is also to highlight her vulnerability.
By the way, it contrasts her ...... for the prince Fear.
One fear, one killing, plus contempt for the elders, these three points are enough for the prince to be drowned by the spittle of the people.
And the prince himself knows it.
The eldest princess has already said this, if he doesn't invite the eldest princess into the mansion again, then he may face countless impeachments in the court.
Thinking of this, he could only honestly get out of the way and make a gesture of please.
"Since the eldest prince wants to drink tea, then please."
Tsk, listen to that impatient tone.
The eldest princess shook her head helplessly in her heart.
The prince is a stupid child, after all, he is still too young.
It's really hard for him to fight himself.
"Okay, thank you for your kind invitation."
There should be no less grievances and pitifulness.
When she stepped into the mansion door, the prince's face immediately changed.
"What are you dalits doing standing here?"
"Do you have to arrest all of you and put you in prison?"
The people are not stupid, and such a stark contrast between the prince and the eldest princess is naturally in their eyes and in their hearts.
After yelling at the people, the door of the prince's mansion closed as if it had been convulsed.
"Bang-"
The prince's face immediately changed as the sound fell.
"Is the eldest princess just coming to the palace to send this invitation and ask for a cup of tea?"
The eldest princess smiled and looked at him contemptuously.
"Then what does the prince think this palace is here for?"
After the show outside the door is over, they are all in the prince's mansion, and if they want to die, they can't say that they will wronged themselves again.
The eldest princess didn't expect the prince's idiot to say anything, so she directly took the invitation and threw it at the prince's feet.
"Prince, this palace will not go around the bend with you, this flower viewing banquet is organized by this palace at the order of the Queen Mother, whether you want to or not, you have to go!"
"The first time the palace sent someone to deliver the invitation, but I didn't expect you to be unwilling to accept it, so the palace had to come in person."
"I just wonder if the prince is willing to accept the invitation at this moment?"
The prince has always been held by others, when has he suffered such humiliation.
For him, what was thrown at his feet was not only an invitation to a flower-viewing banquet, but also the dignity he valued the most.
"Bold! How dare you speak to this temple! β
"This flower viewing banquet will never go to the main hall!"
Not going?
"It's okay, Your Highness can't change it if you don't go, and this palace doesn't want to force you."
The eldest princess was unresponsive, but the prince's eyelids jumped.
"Bengong sees that there are many staff around you, so why don't Bengong ask a small question."
"You say that if you follow the rules of the royal family, what will happen if the crown prince disrespects his elders?"
Those staff members looked at each other for a long time, and none of them dared to stand up and speak.
What a joke.
According to the rules of the royal family, as long as you are an elder, you must do enough courtesy and respect.
Even the emperor has to control his temper softly when facing his elders.
And for those who disrespect their elders, the rules of the royal family are even stricter.
The light one is punished with thirty rods, and the heavy ones with a hundred rods.
The most important thing is that these criminal laws are all implemented outside the Taiji Palace, in front of the ministers.
So for so many years, no matter how arrogant and domineering the people of the royal family are, they are also respectful when facing the elders of the royal family.
It's just that the prince is this thorn, and the eldest princess didn't have much contact with him in the past, so it's okay if he's too lazy to care.
But if you think about it today, then the prince will definitely have no way to live.
There are also many people in the staff who can judge the situation and quickly comfort the prince.
"Your Highness, you ...... to the eldest princess"
"Shut up! It is impossible for this temple to bow to this woman! β
His reaction was expected by the eldest princess.
So the eldest princess is not annoyed, she just wants to be a kind person.
"Prince, this palace advises you to think clearly, if this palace leaves this prince's mansion, and the matter reaches the ears of the queen mother and the royal brother, what will they do with you, then this palace will not know."
Yes, the eldest princess just wants to put the threat on the table.
Even if she borrowed ten guts from the prince, presumably he wouldn't dare to make a big deal out of it again.
Sure enough, her words succeeded in causing the prince's silence to soar.
The prince knows in his own heart, and what the eldest princess said is the truth.
As long as today's events get out: the queen mother, the emperor, civil and military officials, and even the common people will not let him go.
He is not only disrespecting the eldest princess, but also challenging the world's etiquette.
Obviously, he couldn't stand up to such a challenge.
So the only way left for him is to compromise.
He wanted to escape, but the eldest princess's sharp gaze seemed to grow on him.
So that there is no way to escape.
"Prince, have you decided? Hongu's patience is running out. β
The eldest princess's lazy voice was tantamount to a talisman for the crown prince at this moment.
He made a long day of mental preparation, gritted his teeth, and then opened his mouth with difficulty as if squeezing ointment.
"The Emperor...... The emperor's nephew sees ...... Ever seen...... Imperial Aunt ...... Aunt, may the emperor ...... Aunt physical ...... Health ......"
But he just said it, but he didn't move at all.
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, and her exit was to ask, "This is the prince's courtesy?" β
"The imperial nephew doesn't dare, and asks the imperial aunt to forgive the sin." The prince bit the pressure so hard that he reluctantly bowed and finished the salute.
"This palace is thirsty, does the prince have tea here?"
"Yes...... Yes, the main hall...... No, the emperor's nephew will send someone to bring it! β
There is a first time and a second time, and the prince is considered to be obedient, so he doesn't want the eldest princess to make this matter a big deal and suffer the rod himself.
"Prince, this palace has always been picky, I don't drink Longjing imperial tea, and the royal brothers in the palace are all ...... in the past."
Before she could finish her request, the prince quickly interrupted her.
"Okay, the imperial nephew will personally go and prepare for the imperial aunt."
Now he just wants to send the eldest princess away as soon as possible, no matter what method is used.
"Well, then the palace is disrespectful."
However, after the crown prince left, the smile on the eldest princess's face kept expanding little by little.
The prince is still too naΓ―ve.
He has already entered his mansion, even if he doesn't spread the news of his disrespect for his elders in the end, the emperor will still know that he has come to the prince's mansion today.
An eldest princess treats the prince like this, which shows that the prince is powerful and has the heart to crush the emperor.
It's a pity that the prince hasn't found out about this gift yet.
"Aunt Huang, please use tea."
The prince did a perfect job of etiquette, and his attitude was also respectful.
"Okay, the prince has a heart."
The eldest princess took the teacup casually and drank it all.
Then he threw the teacup in front of everyone.
Yes, it just fell.
"Smack-"
The crisp sound of porcelain reverberated in everyone's hearts.
Everyone couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the eldest princess's gourd.
Even the crown prince stood there in a daze, completely unsure of what to say or do.
"Prince, this palace will ask you again, will you accept this invitation or not?"
"Are you coming or not coming to tomorrow's flower-viewing feast?"
The prince's face was full of confusion.
No, why is this topic going around this again?
He had obviously rejected the eldest princess.
But he didn't dare to say anything to retort now.
Fang Cai saluted and toasted the tea vividly, he was really afraid that the eldest princess would use the number of rituals to press him.
"Prince, the patience of this palace is limited, only give you three numbers of time to think, if you don't accept the invitation after three numbers, then don't blame this palace for directly giving the queen mother."
The prince blinked quickly, his brain at high speed.
"Three!"
If only he could consult with his staff directly in front of the eldest princess now, then he wouldn't be as helpless as he is now.
"Two!"
But the eldest princess also said that if he didn't go, he would bring the matter to the queen mother.
Although the Queen Mother is his grandmother, the last thing the Queen Mother lacks is a good grandson who can coax people with a sweet mouth.
So it's impossible for the Queen Mother to defend herself.
And if you go by yourself, you will inevitably encounter more situations, and it will be even worse.
"One!"
As the eldest princess's last count fell, the prince gave his own answer.
"The imperial nephew is willing to go!"
