Chapter 331: Accommodation
Shen Wan helped quickly, and Princess Xuanning arrived at the Jingbei Palace quickly.
The next day, after Shen Wan had breakfast and admired the flowers in the garden for a while, the maid came to report that Princess Xuanning had arrived.
Shen Wan thought that the emperor would not agree, or that the queen mother would interfere, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
When the princess arrives, Shen Wan will definitely go to greet her.
When I walked to the second gate, I saw Princess Xuanning coming from afar, followed by three palace maids.
This scene was even bigger than the last time Princess Shouzhen came.
Is it really convenient to do things with so many people following you?
As they got closer, Shen Wan knew that the person was not someone Princess Xuanning was willing to take with her. She recognized the two palace maids walking behind as the Queen Mother's people at a glance.
She left the palace smoothly, but the Empress Dowager's people followed her, so Princess Xuanning probably couldn't go to the Jing'an Earl's Mansion.
Seeing Shen Wan's eyes fall on the palace maid, Princess Xuanning said, "The Queen Mother was afraid that I would get into trouble outside the palace, so she specially assigned two maids to follow me..."
Princess Xuanning has grown up, and this may be the only time she has received care from the Queen Mother.
The more the Queen Mother and Queen Song were on guard, the more Shen Wan wanted to help Princess Xuanning.
Help people to the end and see them off to the end.
Princess Xuanning did not come empty-handed. She brought a pair of plum blossom hairpins inlaid with gold and rubies as gifts for Chen Wan. The hairpins were exquisite, and Chen Wan had seen Princess Xuanning wearing them in her previous life.
Shen Wan said, "Princess Xuanning is too polite. You are already giving face to the Jingbei Palace and me by coming to the Jingbei Palace."
Princess Xuanning smiled and said, "It's just a small gift. There's no need to be polite, Princess Jingbei."
With a maternal family as wealthy as a country, how could the Princess of Jingbei lack these worldly possessions? What's more, her father dotes on her very much and gives her rewards every few days. The rewards are so many that even a princess would be jealous.
However, because she could anger Princess Shouzhen, Princess Xuanning envied Shen Wan more than she was jealous of him. Shen Wan had repeatedly caused Princess Shouzhen to stumble, so Princess Xuanning felt that no matter how much the emperor rewarded Shen Wan, she deserved it.
But even if Shen Wan doesn't care, Princess Xuan Ning can't come empty-handed. She and Shen Wan don't have much friendship, but Shen Wan is willing to help her. Regardless of whether today's matter can be accomplished, she wants to have a good relationship with Shen Wan.
Shen Wan took the jewelry generously and handed it to Shanhu, "Send some cakes and tea to the garden."
Chen Wan winked at Shanhu.
Coral bowed and retreated.
Shen Wan led Princess Xuan Ning towards the garden. It was Princess Xuan Ning's first time here, so she looked carefully. "The layout of the Jingbei Palace is majestic and elegant. Compared with the imperial palace, it has a different view."
The two of them were talking and laughing, but when they came to a small path, Shen Wan said, "Let's go this way."
Princess Xuanning asked, "Can't we go over there?"
Chen Wan said, "Princess Shouzhen was frightened by a toad there and fell into the lotus pond..."
Princess Xuanning, "..."
The two palace maids behind him had green faces.
The Empress Dowager doted on Princess Shouzhen, and they were her people, so naturally they couldn't bear to hear such words.
But what Shen Wan said was the truth. The Prince Consort of Jingbei Prince dared to have Princess Shouzhen carried out of Jingbei Prince's Mansion. If they dared to complain, they would probably lose their lives here.
I could only pretend I didn't hear it and go back to report everything to the Empress Dowager.
They strolled around the garden, and the two palace maids followed them wherever they went. It was no exaggeration to say that they were inseparable.
Being followed like this, Princess Xuanning had no leisure to appreciate the flowers. After staying for two quarters of an hour, she was ready to leave.
Shen Wan didn't keep her. When she sent Princess Xuanning out of the house, she stuffed a handkerchief into her hand and whispered, "Money makes the world go round. If you can't go to Jing'an Marquis's House, go to the Jade Pavilion."
Princess Xuanning was stunned, and Shen Wan smiled at her.
The palace maid came over, and Princess Xuanning got into the carriage without asking any questions.
The two palace maids followed, but Princess Xuanning's personal maid couldn't get on. She sat in the carriage at the back and was watched closely.
The carriage left the Jingbei Prince's Mansion, and Princess Xuanning said, "Let's go to the Jing'an Earl's Mansion."
The two palace maids said, "Return to the palace."
Princess Xuanning was immediately annoyed, "I want to go to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion!"
The maid said, "This is the Queen Mother's order."
Princess Xuanning said angrily, "Can't I go out of the palace and pay my respects to my grandparents?"
The maid remained unmoved. "We are just following orders. Princess Xuanning, please don't make things difficult for us."
No matter how Princess Xuanning made a fuss, the two palace maids used the Queen Mother to stop her.
Princess Xuanning calmed herself down after a fit of anger. "Since I can't go to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, can I just go for a walk?"
The maid frowned and said, "The princess is of noble status, it is better for her not to show her face in public."
Princess Xuanning said, "Princess Shouzhen has been out of the palace quite often. Isn't she afraid of being in the spotlight? I've finally been able to leave the palace, so what's wrong with me wandering around? At most, you can buy me an ordinary dress so no one knows I'm a princess. I just want to go to the Jade Pavilion to look at the jewelry..."
Princess Xuanning took out two silver notes from her bosom and stuffed them in. "Please be lenient."
The two palace maids looked at each other.
no way.
The amount of this banknote is touching.
Five hundred taels.
It's hard not to be moved.
The Queen Mother only said that Princess Xuanning was not allowed to go to the Jing'an Earl's Mansion, but did not say that she was not allowed to go out on the street.
You can change into a more ordinary dress and go to the Jade Pavilion.
The two palace maids took the silver notes, and one of them got off the carriage to buy a dress for Princess Xuanning, which she changed into in the carriage before going out to the street.
Princess Xuanning couldn't remember the last time she went shopping. Even if the emperor allowed her to go to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion would not dare to let her go out on the street casually and see everything new to her.
Princess Xuanning had a look on her face showing that she wanted to spend more time shopping, and she kept trying to please the two palace maids by buying things for them.
He coaxed the two palace maids into losing their sense of direction, and then entered the Jade Pavilion.
Besides, after Princess Xuanning left, Shen Wan returned to Zhaolanxuan, drank a cup of tea, and then embroidered a belt for the emperor.
After embroidering for half an hour, the maid brought lunch, and Xie Jingyu came back from the study to have lunch with Chen Wan.
Just when they were halfway through their meal, a maid came in and said hurriedly, "Crown Princess, something bad has happened to Princess Xuanning..."
Shen Wan hurriedly asked, "What happened to Princess Xuanning?"
The little maidservant said, "Princess Xuanning was in the Jade Pavilion. The maid sent by the Queen Mother accidentally bumped into Princess Xuanning and caused her to fall from the second floor..."
Shen Wanxin asked, “Is Princess Xuanning okay?”
The little maid hurriedly replied, "Fortunately, the Third Young Master of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion arrived in time and rescued Princess Xuanning. Also, also..."
"What else?"
The little maid blushed and said, "He even kissed Princess Xuanning in public..."
Done!
Young Master Zhao San is Princess Xuanning's cousin. If he had just saved Princess Xuanning, the Empress Dowager might not have asked the Emperor to grant them a marriage.
But they kissed in public, which was physical intimacy. It would be unacceptable not to grant the marriage. Sending a princess who had physical intimacy with a man to Dongliang for marriage would be a humiliation to Dongliang.
When the news reached the Queen Mother and Queen Song, they were probably so angry that they died.
If the Queen Mother had not sent anyone to follow, if something went wrong, the Jingbei Palace would have to bear the responsibility for the poor escort.
The Queen Mother sent two palace maids to accompany and protect her, but something went wrong. It was the Queen Mother's maid who knocked Princess Xuanning down the stairs. The Queen Mother had no reason to punish anyone.
