Chapter 501: The Interesting Crown Prince Consort

Finally, Xu Muhua sat in the Yikun Palace for more than half an hour before she was able to get away and return to the East Palace. She

originally wanted to go directly back to her own palace, but she turned around and came to Pei Shaorong.

Pei Shaorong knew, of course, that she was invited by Concubine Jing. When she saw her come back, she teased her deliberately, "Our Concubine Xu is finally back. I thought you were going to stay for dinner with Concubine Jing!"

Xu Muhua waved her hands, "Don't mention it. Concubine Zhang almost asked me to stay for dinner. But someone from the Emperor came and said that he was going to the Yikun Palace to have dinner with her, so I had to come back.

" Pei Shaorong chuckled, "You are very popular. Either this concubine or that concubine, or the princess and the prince, all want to keep you."

Xu Muhua could do nothing about her good popularity!

She said modestly, "It's just so-so!"

Pei Shaorong shook her head with amusement, "Do you have something to tell me when you come here now?"

When Xu Muhua mentioned this, she immediately became serious, "I want to go back to the Chengguo Mansion."

Although she was the Crown Prince's concubine, as long as the Crown Princess agreed, she could go back. "Why do you suddenly want to go back?"

Pei Shaorong was a little surprised.

Xu Muhua first looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and said, "I want to go back and talk to my mother about my eldest brother's marriage."

Pei Shaorong was surprised, "Brother Xu's marriage?"

Why was Muhua talking to Aunt Xu?

Xu Muhua chuckled and didn't hide it from her, "Arong, I'm not afraid to tell you that I actually like Concubine Jing's niece!"

"What?"

Pei Shaorong was surprised and blurted out, "But hasn't the young lady of the Geng family been dating the young master of the Hu family recently..."

Now it was Xu Muhua's turn to be surprised, "Arong also knows about this? Didn't Concubine Jing say that the marriage between the two families has not been made public yet?"

Could it be that the news spread? If so, now that the marriage is not going to happen, wouldn't it affect Miss Geng's reputation?

"I also heard the prince mention it casually. I guess the two families have never made it public, and not many people know about it."

She paused and couldn't help asking, "Mu Hua, why do you like this Miss Geng? Do you think she is a good match for Brother Xu? Did you know that she had a marriage before? I heard that her fiancé died of illness, and there were rumors that she was a husband-killer."

"Arong, you said it was a rumor, so it's not credible. If a woman could really kill a man, then there would be no need for conspiracies and tricks in this world. I met Miss Geng some time ago, and I think she's a good person."

"And you also know that my brother is not young anymore. We can't ask him to marry a girl from the border."

If my brother was Anan, he would be much freer, but he is the prince of the Chengguo Mansion, and her wife would be the future wife of the Duke.

It would be difficult for a woman from the border to adapt to the life of a wealthy family, and it would be difficult for her to be a good mistress.

"But aren't your father and your elder brother going back to the border soon?"

"Yes, that's why I'm thinking about whether I can arrange my elder brother's marriage before then!"

Pei Shaorong opened her mouth: "This... this is too hasty..."

"No hurry, no hurry, if it's appropriate, let my elder brother and Miss Geng meet, if both parties have no objection, even if my elder brother goes back to the border, it won't hinder the marriage."

This... makes sense. Marriage is all about the matchmaker's words and the parents' orders.

"In that case, you should go back tomorrow!"

Xu Muhua stood up and deliberately saluted her, "Thank you, Crown Princess!"

Pei Shaorong stretched out her hand to hit her in a bad mood, and she dodged it as soon as she turned around, "I can't hit you, I can't hit you!"

Pei Shaorong was just pretending, but her behavior gave her a strong will to hit her!

"Okay, you dare to disrespect the Crown Princess, let me see how I punish you!"

So the palace servants in the palace saw the Crown Princess of the East Palace and the Concubine making a fuss in the hall like children, you run, I chase, you catch, I hide.

Everyone: ...

Zhao Chengye heard the laughter coming from the hall from a long distance away, and thought they were talking about something funny, but when he walked in and saw it, he couldn't help but pause.

Who are those two? His Crown Princess and Concubine?

"Ahem!"

The two people who were chasing each other heard the obvious sound of clearing throats, and their laughter and steps stopped.

Xu Muhua also bumped into Pei Shaorong, pushing her forward another big step and almost falling. Fortunately, she reacted and pulled her back in time, otherwise the Crown Prince would have troubled her.

Pei Shaorong blushed when she saw Zhao Chengye. She quickly straightened her messy dress, adjusted her crooked hairpin, and walked over with graceful steps, a little embarrassed, without even looking at him, "Your Highness is back."

Xu Muhua was much more natural, strode over, and bent her knees to show her intention, "Your Highness is back!"

"What were you... doing just now?"

Xu Muhua answered quickly, "Nothing, just making a fuss. Since Your Highness is back, I won't disturb Your Highness and the Crown Princess. I'll take my leave first!"

Without waiting for the two to react, she turned around and left!

Zhao Chengye was silent for a moment, then looked at his Crown Princess and asked, "Why do I feel that she avoids me like a snake or a scorpion?"

He remembered that her attitude was quite good when they met before, why did she become a different person after becoming his concubine? He didn't offend her, did he?

Pei Shaorong certainly couldn't bear to see her husband misunderstand her friend, so she explained, "You're overthinking it. Mu Hua just doesn't want to be a light bulb."

Zhao Chengye raised his eyebrows and silently raised a question.

Pei Shaorong repeated Xu Mu Hua's previous explanation.

"It's quite appropriate. Well, let's not talk about her. She is so interesting, so let's not waste her kindness. Have you eaten?"

He said as he led her hand and walked inside.

"Not yet. I wanted to keep Mu Hua with me, but I didn't expect you to come back."

"Why do I hear you blaming me for ruining your mood?"

Pei Shaorong just smiled and didn't say anything. Zhao Chengye was angry but couldn't do anything about it.

He regretted more and more that he didn't fight against the arranged marriage. Xu Muhua had entered the East Palace and had taken up most of Arong's attention. Sometimes when she lay down at night, she still couldn't forget to talk about Xu Muhua, worrying that she couldn't sleep well alone!

Listen, what kind of talk is this!
