Chapter 247 Waving
After entering the palace, Xie Jingyu got off the carriage and then helped Shen Wan down.
Over there, Prince Yuzhang, Chu Yang, Zhao Ang and others were playing around. When they saw Xie Jingyu, they were envious and couldn't help but want to beat Xie Jingyu up.
They didn't feel anything when Xie Jingyu got married.
Now that Xie Jingyu is going to be a father, the feeling is very different.
Especially his own parents. Before Xie Jingyu got married, they didn't care about them at all. After Xie Jingyu got married, they started looking for a princess of a county or a princess of a crown prince for them. These two days, they heard that the princess of Jingbei was pregnant. So they wanted to arrange their marriage overnight.
Thanks to Jingyu, the three of them are now forced to do something.
Chu Yang said sadly, "I've never felt so much pressure to attend a banquet in the palace."
Before leaving, his own mother warned him that his future Crown Prince's Consort would definitely be attending a banquet in the palace today, and asked him to find her as soon as possible.
There are at least eighty ladies from prominent families who came today, if not a hundred. How can he find one?
Prince Yuzhang said, "My mother also said this. Did they discuss it privately?"
"No doubt about it, it must be true," Zhao Ang said.
Prince Yuzhang looked up to the sky and sighed, "My Princess, where are you?"
The sound was not loud and only a few of them could hear it.
But what happened was that as soon as he said this, a clear voice called out, "I'm here!"
Not only did he shout, he also waved while shouting, and the direction he was heading was exactly towards them.
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
Chu Yang, “…”
Zhao Ang, "..."
Hahaha!
Chu Yang and Zhao Ang laughed so hard that they fell forward and backward.
The Prince of Yuzhang had never blushed so much in his life.
How could such a coincidence happen?
Chu Yang didn't let him go and teased him, "Your princess is over there, why don't you go over there quickly..."
Prince Yuzhang put his hand over Chu Yang's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhao Ang suppressed a laugh and said, "That seems to be the fourth daughter of the Duke of Wei's mansion..."
Wei Mingzhu shouted over here and found that her voice was too loud, attracting many people to look over. Her cheeks also turned red. As a lady from a noble family, making loud noises was impolite. Her parents would definitely scold her when she returned, but the words had already been shouted and could not be taken back.
She was greeting Zhao Ru. The two of them met because of Chen Wan and now they have become close friends. They went shopping together two days ago and agreed to meet at the horse racing field.
Seeing Zhao Rudong looking around for her but couldn't see her there, he got anxious and shouted.
It was a bit embarrassing, but the effect was excellent. Zhao Ru ran over to look for her, "You're here, it made it so easy for me to find you."
Wei Mingzhu said, "Your eyes completely ignored me. Everyone saw me, but you couldn't see me."
However, she had a lively personality and her parents loved her. Even if she was embarrassed, they would at most scold her a few times, but they would not really do anything to her. She immediately said, "The Princess Consort of Prince Jingbei is over there. Let's go over there."
The two went to say hello to Shen Wan.
When Shen Wan was assassinated by Jing Ma, the two of them went to visit her.
Shen Wan was also happy to see the two of them.
When she was happy, she no longer cared about her husband. She said hello and walked towards the Imperial Garden, chatting and laughing with Wei Mingzhu and Zhao Ru.
Prince Yuzhang and Chu Yang came over and said, "Congratulations, Brother Jing Yu..."
Xie Jingyu felt weak all over.
These days, he has almost developed calluses from hearing so many congratulations.
If it was true, he would be very happy, but the problem was that he hadn't consummated his marriage yet. However, even to his good brother, he couldn't say such an embarrassing thing.
Chen Li came over and patted Xie Jingyu on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, your father-in-law is looking for you."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
He went in the direction where Shen Li was coming from and saw Shen Ji riding on horseback.
Not knowing what Shen Ji wanted him to do, Xie Jingyu walked over and saluted Shen Ji.
Yun got off the horse and asked, "Where is Wan'er?"
Xie Jingyu saluted Yun and replied, "Wan'er went to the Imperial Garden."
Yun took Ye Caiwei to the Imperial Garden. When they saw the carriage from Prince Yong's Mansion coming, they stopped to wait for Princess Yong and Princess Jiangling.
Shen Ji walked a few steps to a less crowded area and asked, "Are you investigating the case of Princess Jin?"
Before Xie Jingyu could answer, Shen Ji asked, "Did it Old Master Lin or the Emperor ask you to investigate?"
Xie Jingyu shook his head. "My son-in-law was accompanying Wan'er to visit the prison in the Ministry of Justice. He had nothing better to do, so he wanted to look at the files on the Jin Wang Mansion fire. No one asked me to investigate this case."
The Minister of Punishments was recommended by the old Taifu Lin and Shen Ji.
Xie Jingyu's every move in the Ministry of Justice could not be hidden from Shen Ji.
Shen Ji warned, “If someone asks you to investigate this case, you can accept it, but don’t really investigate it.”
Xie Jingyu, “……???”
His father-in-law actually stopped him from investigating the case of Princess Jin.
Old Taifu Lin is the one who wants to get to the bottom of the fire in Prince Jin's Mansion the most, and my father-in-law respects Old Taifu Lin the most, so why would he do such a thing?
Is it because the Princess of Jin was very likely to have faked her death and fled Kyoto, and gave birth to a child, and when the matter was finally investigated, it was because of this that the family of Old Tutor Lin was sent to the guillotine?
But even if Old Master Lin trusted Chen Ji, he would not tell Chen Ji that Princess Jin had given birth to a child, right?
Why did he feel that his father-in-law seemed to know about this?
Xie Jingyu's intuition told him that this matter was not that simple.
Shen Ji only said one sentence and left. Shen Li and Prince Yuzhang came to find Xie Jingyu.
Besides, when Chen Wan and Wei Mingzhu arrived at the Imperial Garden, they heard laughter and joy coming from afar. They came on their own and did not need to pay their respects to Queen Song, so they just went to enjoy the flowers.
However, Shen Wan did not expect that the Second Madam would also enter the palace today. The palace maid led her to a side hall over there.
The palace maid Shen Wan recognized her as Queen Song's person.
Having spent several years in the palace in her previous life, she knew a lot about who was around Queen Song, if not everything.
The Second Madam was going to see Queen Song, but Shen Wan was not surprised, otherwise there would not be the term "in cahoots with each other".
In the side hall, Queen Song was drinking tea.
The second lady stepped forward and bowed to greet Queen Song.
Queen Song smiled and said, "I didn't expect Second Madam Xie to take the initiative to ask to see me."
The Second Madam said, "I was ignorant before, I hope the Queen will forgive me."
Queen Song put down the teacup and said with a smile, "It's not that you are ignorant, it's that Prince Jingbei is too cunning."
He replaced his son with Prince Jingbei's, and took over the throne of the crown prince without anyone noticing, without any effort. However, he did not expect that Prince Jingbei would see through his plan and send the child back.
Hearing the words "Prince of Jingbei", hatred flashed across the Second Madam's face, "I hope the Queen's previous proposal still counts."
"I will not join forces with trash."
It depends on her methods.
The Second Lady asked, "What does the Queen want me to do?"
"I'll use the child in the Jingbei Prince's wife's belly as a token of my loyalty."
The Second Madam shook her head, "I'm afraid this won't work..."
Queen Song glanced at the Second Madam and asked, "Can't you even do such a small thing?"
The Second Madam said, "It's not that I can't do it, but the Crown Prince's Consort is not pregnant at all."
Queen Song frowned, "Not pregnant?"
The Second Madam said, "When the Crown Princess came into the family, the Old Madam gave her a bracelet laced with a sterilizing drug. She's been wearing it ever since, and she's been unable to conceive in her lifetime. How could she possibly be pregnant? Her period is delayed, and she's nauseous in the mornings, so she suspects she's pregnant, but she hasn't yet consulted a doctor to confirm..."
Queen Song just found it funny. "I haven't even seen a doctor to check my pulse, but it's spread like wildfire and known to everyone?"
“Good things are never too late. The more the news spreads, the greater the embarrassment.”
The Second Lady and Queen Song looked at each other.
The smiles on their faces were deeper than each other.
