Chapter 249 Different Standpoints
These lovers usually stay in the backyard, but now they all come out.
The one who used to love embroidery is now pruning flower branches.
Those who have martial arts skills can fly over eaves and walls, hang red lanterns and paste window decorations, etc.
The twin handsome boys wiped the sweat from their foreheads and ran over: "Mrs. Lu, are you visiting our house again?"
"Yes! What are you doing?" Hu Xiner couldn't help but feel happy when she saw so many handsome men.
The handsome young men looked at each other and said in unison, "Of course, it's to prepare for the eldest princess's wedding! Please persuade the eldest princess to stay in her room. A woman waiting to be married cannot go out!"
Hu Xiner looked at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess smiled proudly: "How can this princess be the same as those ordinary women? Waiting to get married? Haha, this princess is marrying someone, not marrying him!"
Since Erdong wasn't around, Hu Xin'er naturally sided with her best friend, so she nodded decisively: "I think your eldest princess is right."
The twin handsome boys showed the same disappointed expression.
What? They heard that the eldest princess was finally getting married, and they wanted to see her rare shy look!
I didn’t expect that he is still as tough as before!
"What are you looking at?" The eldest princess glared at him. "Get back to work!"
At this time, the sound of a piano was heard, as clear as the sound of nature.
Hu Xin'er was somewhat mesmerized by the music, but the eldest princess roared, "How dare you scold me with the music? Don't you have enough to do?"
All the concubines laughed, some covered their mouths, some hid their hands with their sleeves, and some laughed so hard that their dimples appeared. In an instant, it was like a hundred flowers blooming.
Hu Xin'er's eyes were filled with handsome men, and she felt dizzy. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and ask the princess, "How did you come up with the idea of letting them do the work?"
"They volunteered," the princess said, her hands on her hips. "They said they wanted to curry favor with the future prince consort, so they wanted to use their own hands to create a comfortable and happy world for him."
Hu Xiner closed her eyes. Why did this speech sound so teasy?
When Erdong marries into the Princess's mansion and discovers that all the furnishings were arranged by his rivals, he'll surely die of rage, right?!
She asked quietly, "Are these concubines going to live with you in the future?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the gazes of the lovers, both openly and covertly.
The embroidering boy held up a pair of large scissors for cutting flower branches and looked at her secretly.
The scholar in blue who was pasting window paper-cuts glanced at her slowly.
The twin handsome boys also pricked up their ears.
…
The eldest princess nodded naturally and said, "Yes!"
She didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
Hu Xiner reminded: "But Erdong will be jealous."
The eldest princess smiled wickedly: "As a prince consort, he should obey the arrangements. Being able to be my wife is the blessing he has earned in eight lifetimes."
Hu Xin'er was helpless, she knew it was like this.
The eldest princess is always dominated by the domineering president in matters of the heart.
But as a true friend, she can't just watch the eldest princess go astray!
So, she came up with a compromise: "Hey, he likes to act capricious, so just pamper him! There are all black-hearted princes who love their wives as if they were their lives. You can also be a little nicer to him when you first get married, let the concubines move out, and then let them move back in later!"
Before the eldest princess could say anything, a series of resentful gazes were fixed on Hu Xin'er's back.
Hu Xin'er broke out in a cold sweat. She wouldn't offend her lovers with this sentence, would she?
The princess hesitated for a moment, her eyes revealing a mixture of sneer, indifference, and playfulness. She said, "I won't tolerate a man who's so petty. If he gets angry, just keep him in bed for a few days."
Hu Xiner was stunned!
You are such a beautiful woman, why do you give up on me?
She sighed deeply, then handed the Buddhist beads given by Lu's mother to the eldest princess: "This is a wedding gift from mother to you. You can take it first. She...is not able to come."
The eldest princess did not take the beads immediately, but asked frankly: "Auntie, is it because of the prince that you are not coming?"
Hu Xin'er shook her head and said vaguely, "I'm not too sure about this. Mainly because my mother isn't feeling well either. Didn't I come here? So she asked me to attend your wedding as a representative. You won't be angry, will you?"
She wanted to change the subject, but the princess ignored her: "You don't have to hide it from me. I know it must be because of that incident."
"Nangong Yue, actually..." Hu Xiner was interrupted after she said a few words.
The eldest princess looked at her seriously, a rare moment. "Xin'er, you and I are close friends, and we also have a bond with the Lu family. So, ever since I saw your aunt's reaction, I asked the Shadow Guard to investigate. Do you know what the result was?"
Hu Xiner's eyes showed doubt, but her heart slowly sank.
Before coming, she was expecting the eldest princess to discover the prince's true face and then stand on the same side as the Lu family.
But now after hearing what the eldest princess said, I realized... the eldest princess had clearly investigated the matter a long time ago, but she was still talking and laughing with the prince and had close contact with him.
The eldest princess explained, "Uncle Lu died of an acute illness back then, and few people knew about the attack on the Lu family, let alone a single witness."
"What do you mean?" Hu Xin'er uttered these words with some difficulty.
The eldest princess frowned. "I know it might be hard for you to accept. After all, the Lu family's hatred always needs an outlet. But I think without any evidence, there's no need for you to doubt the Crown Prince. He's a really good person!"
Hu Xiner certainly knew that there was no evidence, but she was more inclined to believe the Lu family's investigation results.
After more than ten years of investigation, could it be possible that Jiang Yao had found the wrong person?
And if he really is not the prince, then how do you explain the prince's abnormal behavior?
When a stone is thrown, the dog that is hit will bark the loudest.
When the Lu family began to investigate the tragedy of that year, the first person to jump out was the prince.
So even if we put aside the emotional factors, she is more convinced that the prince is the real murderer.
But she didn't show these thoughts on her face.
She understood that her position was different from that of the eldest princess, so she didn't argue, but simply changed the subject: "Speaking of which, there must be someone behind the Hu family. I'm a little scared..."
The princess was a little disappointed when she saw that she didn't give a direct answer, but she still followed Hu Xin'er's words and said, "Don't worry! No one can hurt you in this princess's mansion."
Time flies, and Hu Xiner feels much more at ease during her time at the Princess's Mansion.
Because the shadow guards around the eldest princess are all very skilled in martial arts.
Hu Xin'er would sometimes daydream and wonder: If only she could have a group of people like this as her protectors, she wouldn't have to be afraid anymore...
