Chapter 265 A Hot Gift

Xu Muhua's words made Xu's mother silent for a while, and then she said: "The prince consort does look like a perfect person, but whether he has any flaws or not, this is probably only known by the princess and his family."

"Is it true that mother said he looks like Pan An? Where is the portrait of the prince consort? I want to see it."

Let's see what this ancient man who looks like Pan An looks like.

Xu's mother glared at her, "You dare to say anything! It's okay to say it in front of me, but you can't do this outside!"

After all, Xu's mother still answered her question: "The princess must have a portrait of the prince consort. Others, maybe someone else has a portrait of the prince consort, but I don't know who has hidden it."

After she said this, Xu Muhua didn't continue to ask.

She was a little curious, but not to the extent of wanting to get to the bottom of it.

Xu Muhua said "oh" and lowered her head to tidy herself up. She didn't notice that Xu's mother looked at her with a complicated look, as if she was hesitant to speak.

The flower-viewing banquet at the Princess's Mansion was already the focus of everyone's attention. Any little thing at the banquet would probably be discussed, not to mention that Xu's mother and Xu Muhua left early.

There were all kinds of stories about this matter, but most of them said that Xu Muhua must have done something to annoy the Princess at the banquet and was scolded, so the mother and daughter felt ashamed and left early.

People always pick the weak ones. Between the Duke of Cheng's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion, everyone would undoubtedly choose the Princess's Mansion!

But just one day after the incident, the Princess sent another invitation to the Duke of Cheng's Mansion, and it was to Xu Muhua! Invite her to visit the Princess's residence! Along with the invitation came the gift that the Princess brought back from Jinling: a complete set of head ornaments.

This set of head ornaments is exquisitely crafted and extremely beautiful. It is somewhat different from the style here in the capital, and it looks even more exquisite. The key is that it is unique! How face-saving it is to wear it out!

Later, Xu Muhua wore several of the head ornaments in this set, and it was sought after by many people. When the news spread, a businessman with a keen sense of smell immediately smelled a business opportunity, went to Jinling, and brought back a lot of popular jewelry there. Selling them while they are hot, it really made a fortune!

Xu Muhua regretted it after she found out.

If she had known that it would bring about a new trend, she would have sent people to Jinling to purchase the goods herself!

Of course, this is a later story.

Now it was Xu Muhua who got the headdress and felt very comfortable!

The old lady had kept the incident that day a secret, so she didn’t know. Now seeing the princess sending a generous gift, although she felt a little strange, she didn’t think much about it and advised: “Since it’s from the princess, accept it! There’s no need to be too nervous, it’s just a headdress.”

Xu’s mother was a little worried, but she smiled: “Your grandmother is right, accept it, there’s no need to be too nervous. Our Chengguo Mansion is not a small family, there’s no need to worry about others saying we are shallow.”

Since the elders said so, she accepted it!

Xu Muhua felt that the headdress was no longer hot, but hot! If it could be sold, hiss, it would definitely sell for a lot of money, right?

Could she sell it?

The princess invited her, so she had to go even if she didn't want to.

The next day, she took Wu'er to the princess's mansion in a carriage. When she arrived, she was surprised to find Pei Shaorong there!

"Arong! Why are you here? Did the princess invite you?"

She asked in a low voice.

Pei Shaorong nodded.

Xu Muhua frowned.

Could it be that the princess took a fancy to Arong and wanted to introduce Arong to Ling Hongge?

She raised her eyes and looked at Pei Shaorong carefully.

Pei Shaorong made her feel uncomfortable, "Muhua, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Muhua asked, "Why did you come here today? Are there any other people besides you and me?"

Although it was a bit strange why she asked this, Pei Shaorong still replied, "I also received the eldest princess's message and came here. I don't think I saw anyone else today, just you and me."

After she finished speaking, her fair face suddenly turned red, and even the tail of her eyes seemed to be tinged with a hint of shyness.

This time Xu Muhua saw it and blurted out, "Could it be that the Fifth Prince is here too?"

Pei Shaorong's face turned even redder!

"Arong, you, you and the Fifth Prince... Could it be that you have fallen in love with the Fifth Prince? Could it be that the two of you are..."

She pointed two fingers at each other, full of hints.

Could it be that the hero and heroine have already expressed their feelings for each other at this time?

Pei Shaorong saw her movements and felt her face burning. She felt like she was being roasted by fire without even touching it.

"Mu Hua, what are you talking about!"

She said angrily, denying it, but her expression and tone could not hide a hint of sweetness. "The Fifth Prince and I do know each other, but we have never done anything against etiquette! We just met a few times and talked a few words..."

"Oh my, you're like this after only meeting a few times and chatting a few times. What if you two..."

She used two fingers to make an intimate gesture and winked, "What will happen then?"

Pei Shaorong was angry when she saw her teasing her like this. She raised her fist and was about to hit her, "You are so good, Muhua, I've been worried about you, but you tease me like this as soon as you come. Let me see how I will deal with you!"

Xu Muhua looked behind her and her eyes narrowed, "Hey, the Fifth Prince is here!"

Pei Shaorong, who was about to hit her, immediately retracted her fist and instantly returned to her usual dignified and gentle appearance.

Who knew that when she turned around, there was no Fifth Prince!

When she looked back again, Xu Muhua had already walked away!

Pei Shaorong rarely acted like a little woman, stamping her feet before chasing after him.

The two of them quarreled for a while and Xu Muhua was left behind to see the princess.

When she arrived, the servants of the princess's mansion said that the princess was still busy and asked her to wait for a moment.

As soon as the princess saw Xu Muhua, she took her hand and sat down beside her, "You are so smart, I think you must have guessed the reason why I asked you to come here. What happened at the flower viewing banquet has been investigated, and it is indeed... Hong'er's biological mother misunderstood, and then was instigated by someone so she was confused for a while..."

Of course, she was confused for a moment. She couldn't really kill the biological mother of her nephew who was raised by the eldest princess or punish her in any way just for her, a young lady from a duke's mansion. If that were the case, where would the eldest princess save her face?

Moreover, she was not hurt, so she could not even think of getting any justice.

This is power!

Because the eldest princess is a member of the royal family, and because Ling Hongge is her adopted son, even if his biological mother made a mistake, as long as it was not unforgivable, the matter would be easily covered.
