Chapter 382: Imitating Ehuang and Nvying
"Arong, now that we've brought it up, I'll take this opportunity to tell you something!"
Pei Shaorong listened and made a gesture of listening attentively, like a primary school student attending a lecture.
"You know, I have never thought about entering the palace, or even marrying a noble family. The more noble the family, the more rules there are, and I can't stand being bound by rules. Not to mention entering the East Palace as a concubine."
"And I really don't have any thoughts about the prince. To me, the prince is not only the prince, but also the future husband of my good friend. I have high morals and can't do such a thing as liking my good friend's husband."
"It's disgusting to like someone knowing that he is the husband of your good friend."
This is not something Xu Muhua said deliberately to deceive Pei Shaorong, she really thought so.
So in modern times, every time she sees news about someone snatching away her best friend's boyfriend or husband, she is full of questions.
Who can do such a thing? It's simply not something a human would do!
There are so many men and women in this world, but you have to stare at your best friends, good brothers' men and women, right? Do the ones that are snatched away have the best taste?
If this is the case, it only proves that these people are really sick!
She considers herself to be a very normal person with a very healthy outlook on life, so she can't do such a thing.
"I don't have any romantic feelings for the prince now, and I won't have any feelings for the prince even after I enter the Eastern Palace. To me, he has only one identity besides being the prince, and it will never change, that is, your husband."
"When the right opportunity comes, I will have a frank talk with the prince about this matter, and how we should get along after I enter the Eastern Palace in the future."
Although Pei Shaorong had guessed her intentions a long time ago, now hearing her say this, Pei Shaorong herself admitted it with some shame, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She didn't want to lose her friend Mu Hua, nor did she want to share the man she loved.
"But Mu Hua, have you really thought it through? When you enter the East Palace, if it's really like what you said, then your situation..."
Xu Mu Hua raised her eyebrows, "Don't I have you, the Crown Princess, to protect me? And considering that I'm so knowledgeable, the Crown Prince should at least give me some face, right? You can't cross the river and destroy the bridge!"
They talked about their love, she could help them escort! She could also protect Arong!
If the Crown Prince is so unkind, then she will inevitably say bad things about him in Arong's ear!
Pei Shaorong glared at her, then looked at her with complicated eyes, "Mu Hua, I...you made me not know what to say."
She knew that Mu Hua's words were equivalent to promising her that after entering the Eastern Palace, he would never compete with her for the crown prince. Whether it was the crown prince's favor or something else, she would not compete with her as the crown princess.
In fact, Pei Zhen was right.
With Mu Hua's current status, she was so smart and astute. If she wanted to compete after entering the Eastern Palace, it was not impossible. She felt that if Mu Hua really wanted to compete, she would most likely not be able to win over Mu Hua.
Of course, she also knew that what people say is not necessarily true. But what Mu Hua said...she believed it!
"You don't need to say anything. When you enter the East Palace in the future, remember to protect me and don't let others bully me! I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to eat, play, and money. As long as I have these three things, everything else is nothing to me!"
What love, she has no interest in that stuff!
Pei Shaorong couldn't help laughing. She didn't believe her words at all, thinking that she was deliberately making her happy.
"You can say this in front of me, but don't say it in front of others. Otherwise, others will laugh at you!"
Laughing at her is useless!
Xu Muhua deliberately shook her head and sighed, "Alas, often no one believes when you tell the truth, but they believe when you tell a lie."
The two of them sat in the carriage without lowering the curtain. The carriage passed through the bustling Suzaku Street. Many people saw the girls in the carriage, head to head, very close, as if they were whispering something, and from time to time there were a few clear and sweet laughs.
Hey, who is spreading the rumor that the Crown Princess and Miss Xu had a quarrel in the future?
Does it look like a quarrel? Not at all, it's more like they are preparing to enter the East Palace and emulate Ehuang and Nuying in the future!
When someone said this, everyone thought, hey, don't say it, it's really possible!
The two of them were good friends, and now they are going to enter the East Palace together to serve the Crown Prince. This sisterhood extends from outside the palace to inside the palace. Maybe, it will be another good story in the future!
Xu Muhua and Pei Shaorong both knew about the messy rumors that were spread in the capital these two days, but they didn't take it to heart.
The curtains of the carriage were not lifted intentionally.
The weather was not cold at the moment, and it was even starting to get hot. Of course, it would be more comfortable to lift the curtains and enjoy the breeze.
Besides, the customs of the people in Dayong were not as conservative and strict as those in the previous dynasty. Unless it was winter, or the elderly were the only ones, the curtains of the carriages would be lifted, right?
I didn't expect that such an unintentional move would help clear up the rumors from the previous two days.
But after the rumors from the previous two days were cleared up, new ones popped up! Just as outrageous!
Afterwards, when Xu Muhua heard rumors outside that he and Arong would be the Ehuang and Nvying of the Dayong Dynasty in the future, black lines slid down his forehead.
It was really speechless. His mother opened the door to speechless people, and he was speechless to the extreme!
Pei Shaorong was also there by coincidence this time.
Logically speaking, the prince's wedding is not far away, and as the future princess, Pei Shaorong should be preparing for the wedding in the mansion.
But wasn't there an arranged marriage? Not only Mrs. Pei, but even the queen in the palace was worried about the impact this would have on the relationship between the prince and Pei Shaorong.
So she waved her hand and asked the servants to go out of the palace and go to Pei Mansion. She said that since the wedding is approaching, Miss Pei might be nervous, so she could go out and relax. In this way, she can prepare to enter the East Palace more wholeheartedly.
It was just short of telling Pei Shaorong to go out and have some fun and not worry about other things.
How could she not appreciate the queen's kindness?
So Mrs. Pei packed up and prepared to take her daughter out for a walk.
The Queen is really a good mother-in-law. Not only did she allow Pei Shaorong to go out of the city to relax at this time, she also thoughtfully prepared a place.
Her parents' home is in a manor outside the city.
It happened that this manor was not far from the manor of the Chengguo Mansion.
Pei Shaorong first sent a letter to invite Xu Muhua to go with her. After the letter was exchanged, it was learned that the Chengguo Mansion was also preparing to go out of the city to play.
