Chapter 402 Worry
After being bullied, Chen Wan was exhausted and slept for another half an hour. When he woke up, he was starving.
Sitting up, Shen Wan asked, "Where's that bastard?"
Shanhu Yinchuan has become accustomed to the Crown Princess calling the Crown Prince "Master".
"The prince is in the study."
The two maids helped Shen Wan get up from bed, and after she washed up, breakfast was brought in from the kitchenette.
Xie Jingyu had already eaten. Chen Wan greeted him in his heart while eating. After eating, he went to the study to find him.
Just as he entered the study, he heard the voice of Prince Yuzhang behind him, "Brother Jingyu..."
Prince Yuzhang came in and saw Shen Wan. Prince Yuzhang said, "My sister-in-law is here too."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Sister-in-law?
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu.
I don't understand how he became my younger brother?
Xie Jingyu was also very unhappy about the title of Prince of Yuzhang.
He knew that Prince Yuzhang wanted to call her cousin, but Chen Wan had not yet recognized her ancestral home, so he couldn't call her that. However, he knew Shen Wan's identity, so he couldn't call her sister-in-law, so he could only take advantage of Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Prince Yuzhang said, "Your contribution is definitely necessary for the reconstruction of Tianxiang Tower."
Xie Jingyu said, "Speak to the point."
Prince Yuzhang held up five fingers and said, "You have to invest at least five thousand taels..."
Xie Jingyu took out a silver note of five thousand taels from the drawer and handed it to Prince Yuzhang.
It was so straightforward and refreshing that it made Prince Yuzhang feel very disappointed.
Prince Yuzhang was extremely melancholy. "We are all from noble families, why do Zhao Ang and I live in such poverty, while you are so rich?"
The two thousand taels he had obtained were earned by being beaten, and he could only scrape together three thousand taels by scraping together money.
Xie Jingyu would spend five thousand taels at random.
This gap—
Xie Jingyu said, "I'm married."
Prince Yuzhang didn't understand, "What does this have to do with getting married?"
Xie Jingyu said, "After you get married, your monthly allowance will be doubled, and you will also have farms, shops, and land to manage on your own."
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
...No one told him that getting married would have these benefits.
Suddenly I want to get married.
But he couldn't even enter the gate of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion.
However, after his unremitting efforts, the Prince of Weiguo treated him much better and was no longer angry with him for throwing his sister into the lotus pond.
If Prince Yuzhang knew that the Prince of Weiguo was not angry but was glad that his sister did not marry him, Prince Yuzhang would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
When Xie Jingyu said this, Shen Wan glanced sideways.
This fellow is also the Prince of Kuang Yuzhang.
It was obvious that he was very rich before he married her, and she did not forget that she wanted to spend money to thank him for his help, but he sent someone to give her 20,000 taels.
If you get married, you will have money, and your cousin will have even more. The Prince of Yuzhang looked at Chen Wan and asked, "Do you want to invest in your cousin?"
Xie Jingyu said, "What's mine is hers. If the money isn't enough to pay it back, go find Young Master Yun and ask him to buy a share."
Prince Yuzhang slapped his forehead and said, "How could I forget about Young Master Yun? I'll go right away."
The Prince of Yuzhang came in a hurry and left in a hurry over the wall.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "My cousin is back in Beijing?"
Xie Jingyu said, "I returned to Beijing two days ago."
"Is there any news about Shen Ling?" Shen Wan asked.
Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu attached great importance to the disaster in Jizhou. Yun Yan also went there, even setting off two days earlier than Chu Yang, inspecting the shops along the way to Jizhou.
Xie Jingyu said, "When the disaster relief work in Jizhou was halfway done, your cousin got busy with other things and he didn't see Chen Ling."
Yun Yan was very busy and had to squeeze out time to go to Jizhou. He couldn't stay in Jizhou for long. After making sure that there was no problem, he went to busy himself with the Yun family's business. In the end, he traveled around several states and counties and only returned to Beijing the day before yesterday.
How come there is no news at all? Shen Wan broke into a cold sweat for Shen Ling.
When Prince Yuzhang came, Chen Wan had already forgotten why he came to the study. When he left the study, he remembered it and it was not easy for him to go back to look for Xie Jingyu.
The days seemed to have returned to the past.
Chen Wan took Shanhu Yinchuan for a walk in the garden when Chun'er came over and said, "Crown Princess, Princess Shunhe will be coming to the capital tomorrow. The Emperor has asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare a homecoming banquet for the Seventh Prince and Princess Shunhe, and also to welcome the envoys from Dongliang who are coming to welcome the bride..."
The envoys from Dongliang have been in Beijing for several days and have been staying in the palace. The emperor has not met them.
Shanhu asked, "Is the Crown Prince's Consort going to the palace to attend the Returning Clan Banquet?"
If you want to attend, you have to prepare clothes and jewelry. The Crown Prince's wife's belly is getting bigger, and the beautiful dresses I made before are no longer suitable.
It’s okay to wear it on a daily basis, but you must dress nicely when attending a banquet in the palace.
Shen Wan shook his head, "I don't know."
She wanted to go, but she was five months pregnant, and Xie Jingyu might not let her go.
In fact, palace banquets are all similar, so it doesn't matter if she attends one more or one less. She is mainly curious about what Princess Shunhe, found by Duke Song, looks like.
After the return banquet, it will probably take a few days for the Emperor to marry Princess Shunhe.
Chen Wan was unsure, so Shanhu prepared as if she was going to the palace. After returning to Zhaolanxuan, she went to the storehouse to pick out silk. The mother who managed the embroidery room brought a maid to measure Chen Wan's size.
That day, after breakfast, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu went to see the princess. The princess still had little strength and needed to stay in bed.
The princess said, "The weather is nice, so I'll take Wan'er out for a walk. I'll feel heavier later, so I can't leave the house anymore."
Xie Jingyu said, "I understand."
After coming out of the Liuli Courtyard, Xie Jingyu asked Shen Wan, "Where do you want to go? I'll accompany you."
Shen Wan didn’t want to go shopping, so she said, “How about you accompany me to the Lin Mansion?”
Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin had a very hard life. Their two daughters died early. Old Madam Lin almost fainted from crying in the mourning hall of Concubine Chen. Shen Wan wanted to visit her, but Yun came to see her and didn't let her go.
Shen Wan had no doubts about the identity of Concubine Chen.
If Shen Wan wants to go to Lin Mansion, Xie Jingyu will definitely accompany her.
Shen Wanhui Zhao Lanxuan changed her dress, and when they arrived at the door, the carriage was already parked there.
He got on the carriage and headed straight for Lin's mansion.
On the way to Lin's house, I ran into Shen Ji, who asked, "Where are you going?"
Shen Wan said, "Go to the Lin Mansion and pay your respects to your grandmother."
Shen Ji nodded, "It's time to spend more time with her."
After Shen Ji left, the carriage continued to move forward until it stopped in front of the Lin Mansion.
Without letting the maid pass on the message, Shen Wan went straight into the room, and then saw that Madam Lin, who was sitting on the Luohan couch, did not look very good. However, when she saw Shen Wan, Madam Lin smiled and said, "Come to grandma quickly."
Shen Wan sat down next to Old Madam Lin, “Grandma doesn’t look good, but are you feeling unwell?”
Madam Lin said, "Grandma is fine."
Mother Chen said, "Madam Lin is worried about the Seventh Prince..."
Shen Wan asked, "What happened to the Seventh Prince?"
Mother Chen said, "The Seventh Prince doesn't want to live in the palace. He's been staying at Pei Mansion these days. At the court this morning, Duke Song and the Left Prime Minister said it was against etiquette for a prince to live under a minister, so they wanted the Seventh Prince to move into the palace. The old lady is worried..."
As for what you are worried about, there is no need to say it clearly.
There are some things that Chen Wan doesn't know, but Xie Jingyu knows them clearly.
The Empress Dowager could not tolerate Chen Wan, let alone Xiao Huaijin.
Living in the palace is too dangerous. After all, once the poison is fed, it cannot be removed.
Shen Wan was about to persuade Madam Lin when the maid came in quickly and said happily, "Madam, the Seventh Prince is here."
"Please ask him to come in."
After a while, Xiao Huaijin came in.
Madam Lin smiled widely, "What a coincidence, you are all here."
It's no coincidence.
Xiao Huaijin was brought here by Shen Jirang.
Shen Wan was pregnant, so it was not easy for her to go to the Lin Mansion. Shen Ji asked Xiao Huaijin to come as well, and the brother and sister had dinner together with Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin.
Old Lady Lin only hoped that the Emperor would adopt Chen Wan as his adopted daughter as soon as possible and register her under the name of Concubine Chen.
There was constant laughter in the room.
Old Taifu Lin, who had been out of the house, came back, but just as he entered, a maid ran in breathlessly, saying, "Old Taifu, Old Madam, Eunuch An is here to announce the decree!"
