Chapter 301 Seeing the Prince Consort
Hearing this, Xu's mother was suspicious at first.
Even if the princess had something to do, she shouldn't have asked her daughter to go! What can a girl like Mu Hua do?
In terms of feelings, the princess has a nephew who she raised by herself and treats as her own son. In terms of people who serve and take care of her, the princess has many confidants. What effect can Mu Hua have by going there?
Could there be some conspiracy?
But seeing the servants in the princess's house were anxious, they almost dragged their daughter away directly, as if something really happened. Xu's mother couldn't stop her daughter from going.
"Since the princess invited you, then you should go! If you have nothing to do, go home early. If there is anything, let someone go home and pass on the news."
Xu's mother said.
Xu Muhua nodded, "Mom, it shouldn't be anything serious. I'll go take a look and be back soon, you don't have to worry about me."
"Go ahead, be careful and don't be careless!"
Xu's mother warned.
Xu Muhua nodded to show that she understood.
Xu's mother watched her get on the small carriage of the Princess's Mansion. After they walked away, she shook her head with some worry, lowered the curtains and went into the mansion.
Maybe it was really urgent, Xu Muhua was shaken like riding a boat in the small carriage. She had to hold both sides firmly with both hands to stabilize her body and not hit the wall of the carriage.
Fortunately, the Duke of Cheng's Mansion was not too far from the Princess's Mansion, otherwise her butt would be shaken apart.
After getting off the carriage, Xu Muhua wanted to reach out and rub her poor butt. But she was a girl after all, and could not do such a disgraceful thing. She had to endure the discomfort and followed the servants and walked quickly. It was simply unbearable!
When they arrived at the courtyard where the eldest princess lived, Xu Muhua saw a maid guarding the door from a distance.
The maid seemed to have seen her as well and hurried over. When she got closer, she recognized that it was the maid who served the eldest princess personally.
She was surprised.
What happened to the eldest princess? At this time, the personal maid was not guarding by her side, but was waiting for her here. And why did everyone think she could play a role? Did everyone think that the eldest princess loved her to the point of being irreplaceable? It was
really unacceptable!
"Miss Xu, you are here at last! Come in with me!"
The maid wanted to pull her in and rush in.
Xu Muhua was so curious that when she entered the house, Nanny Qi came to greet her.
She first asked the other servants in the house to leave, and then she said to Xu Muhua in a low voice: "Miss Xu, it's like this. The prince went out this morning, and I didn't follow because I had something to do in the mansion. The prince came back not long after he went out, and his expression was not right, as if he had lost his soul."
She paused and sighed again, saying: "I thought the prince was not feeling well, and I asked for a long time before I found out something. It turned out that the prince...she might have met someone, and that person probably looked a little bit like...the prince consort, and the prince...kept mumbling that she had seen the prince consort."
Isn't this nonsense?
The prince consort died a long time ago, how could there be a prince consort!
Xu Muhua's heart skipped a beat when she heard it.
Oh my god!
Could it be that the princess went to the vicinity of that house and somehow ran into the prince consort? It should be unlikely, but who knows, things in this world are not absolute.
Aunt Qi was worried about the princess and did not pay attention to Xu Muhua's expression. She continued, "We have persuaded him and said what we should say, but His Highness just won't listen! We have no choice but to call you here to see if you can persuade His Highness."
Aunt Qi also saw that the princess and Xu Muhua had a good relationship during this period, and often talked to her about the prince consort. She also felt that Xu Muhua was smart and sensible, and maybe there was some way, so she tried her best.
Xu Muhua said, "I'll try my best!"
"Thank you, Miss Xu."
Xu Muhua walked in. Nanny Qi stood outside and did not follow her in.
The eldest princess leaned against the head of the bed with a haggard face. She looked dazed and her eyes were unfocused. It was obvious that she was distracted, probably thinking about her husband. She did not respond to the noise.
Xu Muhua sat down on the round stool beside the bed and called softly, "Your Highness? Your Highness!"
The eldest princess came to her senses and saw that her eyes suddenly burst out with light. She grabbed her hand at once, as if she was eager to get others' recognition, and said anxiously, "Really! I really saw the husband! Although that person looks different from the husband in his youth, I recognized him at a glance. It's the husband!"
The eldest princess was sure that the man was the husband, but wasn't the husband dead? So she was extremely conflicted, two completely impossible existences were colliding with each other in her mind, and neither could suppress the other.
"Your Highness, please don't be anxious, calm down, and let's talk slowly. Your Highness, you can tell me what happened. I am a bystander, and I will help your Highness analyze it."
Xu Muhua's voice was gentle and full of soothing power, which soothed the eldest princess's anxious mood and made her slowly calm down for a short time.
The eldest princess recalled what happened today, and her eyes became a little dazed.
"I went out today, originally wanting to relax and buy some things. But the driver of the carriage was new and took the wrong road..."
Xu Muhua listened carefully, and was speechless after hearing the eldest princess's description.
Sure enough.
I took the wrong road and somehow ended up near that house.
Although the princess is from the capital, she grew up in the palace. After she married her husband, she lived outside the palace. But she doesn’t have the time to wander around the streets and alleys of the capital all day!
The new driver didn’t know the way, and the princess was even less familiar with it! After wandering around for a long time without finding the way, she had to ask for directions.
It just so happened that the door she knocked on was the small door of the house where the husband was temporarily staying! It
was probably because Boss Feng and his friends were busy with something, so the husband didn’t think much about it when he heard someone knocking on the door, and he happened to be not far from the door at the time. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he went to open it.
But the husband’s voice hadn’t recovered yet, so he could only gesture. The groom doesn't understand! The two of them kept asking each other, and I gestured for a long time, but it was like a conversation between a chicken and a duck.
The princess got impatient and could not help but lift the curtain in the carriage. In this way, she saw the prince consort standing behind the door with half of his body and half of his face exposed!
The prince consort, the man engraved in the princess' heart, let alone half of his face, even a pair of eyes and a mouth can be recognized by the princess.
She hurriedly got off the carriage and walked over quickly.
This movement probably attracted the prince consort's attention. When he saw that it was the princess, he closed the door subconsciously in panic!
