Chapter 475 Human Essence
The princess woke up and was taking medicine when she heard that Xie Zhihuan and the prince of Song had rolled down the stairs together.
Mother Zhao just felt that this mother and daughter were too annoying. Fortunately, the second young master escaped from the Wen Mansion, otherwise he would have to grow up with Concubine Wen. She couldn't imagine how destructive a smart person could be when he became cruel.
After the princess took the medicine, she put down the bowl and said, "My eldest lady caused the Duke of Song to fall down the stairs. It is my Jingbei Palace that is sorry for the Duke of Song's Mansion. The prince is not here, so I can't leave for the time being. Go and ask the fourth lady to come."
When the princess was in a coma, the fourth lady came, but she didn't dare to disturb her rest, so she went back.
The princess invited the fourth lady, who hurried over. The princess said, "Wait for Steward Zhou to prepare the apology gift. I'll trouble you to make the trip."
The fourth lady asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't you being distant with me by saying this?"
It's getting late today. It will be too late to wait for Manager Zhou to prepare the apology gift. We can only go tomorrow.
As a result, the next day, when the fourth lady was about to leave the house, the wife of Duke Song came.
The Fourth Madam was a little surprised, but then thought it was normal, and greeted him with a smile, "The eldest lady has caused trouble for Prince Song, and the princess is ill and can't go to the Duke of Song's mansion. I was just about to go there to apologize on the eldest lady's behalf, but I didn't expect the Duke of Song's wife to come."
The wife of Duke Song asked, "Is Princess Jingbei unwell?"
Concubine Wen went crazy and pushed the princess into a pillar. Manager Zhou issued a gag order. The servants also knew that this was a serious matter and dared not spread it, so no one outside the palace knew about it.
The fourth lady said, "The princess has a head injury and needs to rest for some time."
The Fourth Lady led the wife of Duke Song to the Glazed Courtyard.
The wife of Duke Song thought that the princess was unwilling to go to the Duke Song's Mansion and was deliberately making up an excuse, but when she saw that the princess had gauze wrapped around her head and her face was pale, she was really shocked.
Lady Song couldn't imagine how the princess had injured her head. It didn't look like it was caused by a collision.
The visitor is a guest. The princess said, "Please take a seat, Madam Song."
The maid brought a chair and the wife of Duke Song sat down.
The princess was weak and sprained her ankle in the Jade Pavilion because of Xie Zhihuan, causing the Prince of Song to fall down the stairs to apologize.
The Lady of the Duke of Song said, "It's not a big deal if he rolled down the stairs. People who practice martial arts don't get hurt that easily. But my son didn't avoid it and rolled down with the eldest daughter of the mansion, which damaged her reputation. I know that Prince Jingbei doesn't want to marry into the Duke of Song's mansion, but after something like this, we're afraid of gossip if we don't do it."
Not only did the prince not want to marry into the Duke of Song's family, but the Duke of Song's wife was also unwilling.
Especially Song Nanyue, the daughter who was raised in the palm of her hand, it was already unfair enough for her to marry a bastard, but it turned out that he was not even the bastard of Prince Jingbei. Not long after she entered the house, she was kicked out.
If it weren't for the protection of the Duke of Song's Mansion and the Queen Mother, her daughter would have been implicated by the Wen Mansion and beheaded.
When talking about this marriage, the wife of Duke Song still felt uneasy.
Now it was her son's turn.
However, there is a difference between a son getting married and a daughter getting married. She was not so resistant to her son marrying Xie Zhihuan, and she was even happy to see it happen.
No matter what, Xie Zhihuan is still the daughter of King Jingbei. Now that King Ling has returned to his ancestral home, he has the power to compete with King Cheng. Coupled with the emperor's favor, no one can be sure who will eventually become the crown prince.
If it falls into the hands of King Cheng, that would be easy to deal with, but I'm afraid it will eventually belong to King Ling.
The winner takes all.
The wife of the Duke of Song did not dare to imagine what would happen to Prince Cheng and the Duke of Song's Mansion if Prince Cheng failed in his bid for the throne.
But now that Xie Zhihuan is marrying the prince of Song, Prince Ling has to give Prince Jingbei some face.
Her son married the daughter of King Jingbei, which, to some extent, could be said to be marrying a Taoist amulet.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. King Jingbei would never watch his daughter become a widow. Even if they were exiled together, at least his son could save his life.
If this amulet is no longer needed in the future, there are plenty of ways to get Xie Zhihuan to vacate the position of the Crown Prince's Wife.
Because it was a hundred benefits with no harm, the wife of Duke Song couldn't wait for the princess to go to her Duke Song's mansion to apologize, so she hurried here.
The princess said, "The eldest lady and the Duke of Song's son tumbled down the stairs together in public. It's true that their marriage would fail and would be criticized. But the prince mentioned to me before that just because they fell into the water together, one of them had to marry and the other had to marry. It's not advisable to put too much emphasis on the separation between men and women."
"Your Highness has said this before, and I know that Your Highness does not want to marry into the Duke of Song's Mansion. Forgive me for not agreeing to the marriage. I must ask Your Highness's opinion..."
Mother Zhao stood aside and looked at the princess in surprise.
The fourth lady was even more surprised.
Concubine Wen hurt the princess, and the princess wanted to prevent the eldest girl from jumping into the fire pit of Duke Song's mansion...
The wife of Duke Song did not expect the princess to refuse, and she immediately became unhappy. "If we didn't have to worry about our reputation, there would be no need for our children to be married off to each other between the Duke Song Mansion and the Jingbei Palace."
The princess raised her hand to her forehead, and Mother Zhao asked, "Does the princess have a headache again?"
Lady Song's wife was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger.
The fourth lady said, "The princess is badly injured. Madam Song, please forgive me."
The wife of Duke Song said, "Princess Jingbei, take good care of your injuries. I will be leaving first."
The fourth lady escorted the wife of Duke Song out of the house.
The news that the wife of Duke Song asked for Xie Zhihuan's hand in marriage for her son, but the princess used the prince as an excuse to reject her, spread to Zhaolanxuan.
Shen Wan was in the study at the time. She looked at Xie Jingyu in disbelief, "Why doesn't mother agree?"
This was a good opportunity to send Xie Zhihuan away, it was something that he had been waiting for, and it was exactly what he wanted, but the princess actually disagreed.
What kind of kindness is this from the princess?
Shen Wan couldn't figure it out.
Xie Jingyu laughed, "It's not like I can just disagree with this matter."
Shen Wan also knew that the princess had no say in this matter, “What I don’t understand is why my mother doesn’t agree?”
Xie Jingyu said, "It's not that Mother disagrees. She did this because she hopes Xie Zhihuan will get married faster, before you give birth..."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Chen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "Are you sure this is what mother meant?"
Xie Jingyu pinched Chen Wan's nose and said, "Just wait, the Queen Mother will grant them marriage today and set a wedding date."
Less than an hour after Xie Jingyu finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's decree granting marriage was delivered to Prince Jingbei's Palace.
The wedding date was set immediately, and she got married seven days later.
He seemed to be afraid that the princess would really send someone to ask the prince, and that the prince would not agree, and he was so anxious that he couldn't wait to make the matter a fait accompli.
Shen Wan, “…”
Damn it.
She is the only stupid one in the Jingbei Palace.
The rest are all smart people.
The prince and princess are both smart, so they can give birth to a monster like Xie Jingyu.
Chen Wan only hopes that the baby in her belly will look like her father, grandparents, and not her.
