Chapter 329 Friendship

In one afternoon, Coral received so many rewards that she was overwhelmed.

After the princess took the antidote, the weakness in her limbs quickly eased. The princess was so happy that she rewarded Shanhu with a heavy gold bracelet.

After the princess's reward was delivered, the prince also sent someone to give Shanhu one hundred taels.

The prince and princess are deeply in love. The princess's "old illness" that has lasted for many years has been cured. It would be unreasonable for the prince not to reward the maid.

The prince and princess rewarded the coral, and the old lady also had to express her gratitude by sending a pair of silver bracelets.

There are indeed a lot of rewards, but the corals feel like they are being fried in a frying pan.

If she hadn't accidentally been poisoned by the soft muscle powder, the princess wouldn't have been poisoned by the prince, and the prince wouldn't have been exposed for poisoning the princess for many years, and he wouldn't have been forced to question her...

The prince probably wanted to kill this unfortunate maid, but because of her status, he had to reward her.

She has the life to receive these rewards, but can she really spend them?

Shanhu was extremely nervous. Shen Wan saw her worry and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it. How could the prince bother with a little maid like you?"

The prince is a general and cannot do anything to his own son, so he takes his anger out on a maid. It is impossible for the prince to do such a humiliating thing.

After Chen Wan said this, Shanhu felt relieved. Not only did she not die of illness, but she also received so many rewards. It was like a pie in the sky falling on her head. She knew that by following the Crown Prince's Consort, she could get some blessings.

The next day, the weather was fine and the sky was clear and cloudless.

It had been several days since she had paid her respects to the old lady, and it would be a shame not to go, so after breakfast, Shen Wan took Shanhu to Wing Chun Temple.

But Shen Wan soon regretted this decision. Some people are really talkative and don't speak human language.

When the Second Madam saw Shanhu, she said sarcastically, "The Crown Prince's Consort's maid is luckier than the Princess. The Princess suffers from her old illness every year, but the maid only got sick once and accidentally cured the disease."

This is not praising Shanhu, this is using Shanhu, a maid, to belittle the princess.

Shen Wan was not one to indulge the Second Madam, and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, you're joking. The maid just stumbled upon it by mistake. Who in this mansion can compare with Mother's blessing? Father protected Mother so well that he didn't let Mother know about those dirty calculations, so as not to dirty Mother's ears.

It’s such a pity for the Second Young Master, who was sent to the Wen family by his own mother, Concubine Wen. I don’t know what bullying he suffered, but he had to escape by crawling through a dog hole, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then…”

Shen Wan looked regretful, and the Second Madam's expression grew colder and colder, until it finally became ferocious.

Chen Wanke still remembered the day when the substitution was exposed. Concubine Wen burst into tears and was heartbroken, while the Second Madam vomited blood and fainted.

The second young master born to Concubine Wen might still be alive, but the third young master born to the second wife is most likely dead.

Using the maid to mock the princess, Shen Wan directly tore at the second wife's wounds and sprinkled salt on them.

The Second Madam suppressed her anger, but the Old Madam was less patient. She slammed the teacup in her hand down on the table and said, "The Prince sent the child back without telling Concubine Wen. Otherwise, this tragedy wouldn't have happened!"

"You stab Concubine Wen's heart, and you are also stabbing the prince in the heart!"

Chen Wan smiled and said, "So, don't harbor any intention to harm others. You never know when you'll suffer retribution."

The old lady was angry and breathed in more than she exhaled.

Shen Wan said, "If it's okay, I'll go back first."

After blessing her lower body, Shen Wan took Shanhu away.

These people harmed others and themselves, and were unwilling to admit their mistakes, putting the blame on the prince. Perhaps it was because of their evil intentions that they harmed their own flesh and blood.

It can be said that God has eyes, which is really gratifying.

After leaving Wing Chun Court, Shen Wan went to see the princess again, then fed the koi in the garden for a while before going back.

Just as they reached the gate of the courtyard, a little maid in a light green dress came over and called out, "Crown Princess..."

Chen Wan stopped and turned around, and saw the little maid holding a red and gold-painted invitation card in her hand. She came forward and said, "Princess, the eldest daughter of the Jing'an Earl's Mansion sent someone to bring you a visiting card..."

The little maid presented the visiting card, and Shen Wan reached out to take it.

After opening the visiting card, Shen Wan glanced at it for a few seconds. Shanhu asked curiously, "The Crown Prince's Consort and the eldest daughter of the Jing'an Earl's Mansion have no friendship, so why would they send a visiting card to the Crown Prince's Consort?"

The Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is Concubine Zhao's maiden home.

Shen Wan could probably guess what Miss Zhao's purpose was.

She curled her lips and said, "Since Miss Zhao wants to see me, then let's meet."

Shen Wan thought that Miss Zhao would not come until at least tomorrow, but she did not expect that in less than half an hour, Miss Zhao would arrive at the Jingbei Palace.

Shen Wan met her in the pavilion beside the lotus pond.

Miss Zhao Fangqing was wearing a Sichuan brocade orchid-embroidered dress, looking pretty and graceful.

Seeing Chen Wan, Zhao Fangqing bowed and saluted, "Meetings to the Crown Prince Consort of Jingbei Prince."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, please take a seat."

Shen Wan was making tea and poured a cup for Zhao Fangqing, "How about trying the tea I made?"

Zhao Fangqing was not shy. She sat down, picked up the tea, savored it carefully, and praised it several times.

Shen Wan asked, "Miss Zhao, did you come to see me for something?"

Zhao Fangqing put down the teacup, stood up and said, "I'm here on the orders of my aunt, Concubine Zhao, to seek help from the Crown Prince's Concubine..."

really.

Shen Wan guessed it, but pretended not to know, "How can I help Concubine Zhao?"

"Help Princess Xuanning leave the palace."

Zhao Fangqing's voice echoed in the pavilion.

Shen Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "If Concubine Zhao can't do it, how can I help her?"

Seeing that Chen Wan seemed to be about to refuse, Zhao Fangqing became a little anxious. "To be honest, my third brother and Princess Xuanning are in love with each other. The Emperor was about to grant them a marriage, but the Empress Dowager went to the Huguo Temple unexpectedly, and the marriage is now hanging in the balance. Now that the Prince of Gaoyang in Dongliang is dead, Dongliang will most likely ask our Ning Dynasty to send a princess as a marriage partner. The Emperor cannot recognize his adopted daughter, so Princess Xuanning is in danger..."

"If my third brother and Princess Xuanning want to be together, they have to resort to extraordinary means. In fact, it was my aunt who suggested the last blessing banquet held in the palace for the Queen Mother. I didn't expect that the blessing banquet would be used by Queen Song and almost harm the Crown Prince's Consort..."

"The Queen Mother forbids Princess Xuanning from leaving the palace. The harem is a very important place, and my third brother cannot enter. My aunt is really at a loss, so she wants to ask the Crown Prince's Consort for help."

Concubine Zhao also didn't want her daughter to tarnish her reputation by getting married again, but compared to being sent to marry a foreign prince, where mother and daughter would never have the chance to see each other again in this life, it was nothing worth mentioning.

Concubine Zhao has tried every possible way these days, but she can't send Princess Xuanning out of the palace because Empress Song and the Queen Mother are watching her.

If she hadn't been desperate, she, a noble concubine, would not have thought of asking Shen Wan for help. She didn't know why, but Concubine Zhao felt that Shen Wan could help her and would help her.

Shen Wan and Concubine Zhao didn't have much friendship, but she really wanted to help.

Princess Xuanning is married, and if Dongliang really wants to marry her, Queen Song will have no choice.

It can cause trouble for Queen Song and the Queen Mother, and at the same time do a favor for Concubine Zhao. Why not do it?

only--

Shen Wan said, "Princess Xuanning and Third Young Master Zhao are a good match, but the Queen Mother won't let Princess Xuanning leave the palace. How can I help her?"

Zhao Fangqing said, "The only one who can invalidate the Queen Mother's order is the Emperor. The Emperor trusts the Crown Prince and Crown Princess the most. If Princess Xuanning comes to see the Crown Princess, the Emperor may agree."

Chen Wan shook the tea in the cup and watched the green Maofeng tea float up and down.

Shen Wan said, “Let me try.”
