Chapter 77: Deeply Disgusted with Prince Ning
"Your Highness."
Li Quan came into the palace and reported: "Fu Ming and Miss Fu want to see Your Highness."
After hearing what Miss Fu said, Xie Shian bowed and said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
Zhao Yun hummed.
Xie Shian came out of the East Palace and happened to see Fu Ming and Fu Qianran coming. Fu Qianran's eyes were slightly red as if she had been crying, and Xie Shian couldn't help but look at her twice.
When he met Fu Qianran's gaze, he quickly looked away.
Seeing Xie Shian's evasive look, Fu Qianran bit her lower lip and walked into the hall, "I pay my respects to Your Highness."
Zhao Yun lowered his eyes and looked at Fu Qianran and Fu Ming. "Get up, what are you doing here?"
Fu Ming said, "Your Highness, Prince Ning's Consort Yun allowed her maid to beat my cousin Wu Yong, and she was unwilling to hand over her slave girl. I hope Your Highness will do justice."
Behind the screen, Ye Wanhe heard the sound coming from the hall and frowned.
Zhao Yun asked, "The maidservant beside Yun Xiangye beat up Wu Yong? How could a little maid beat up a man?"
Fu Ming said: "I slapped my cousin in the face. This is a great shame and humiliation. I hope Your Highness will make the decision."
Zhao Yun said in a voice that was dignified without being angry: "What do you think the Eastern Palace is? You want me to deal with a maid?"
Fu Ming listened to Zhao Yun's stern voice and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, I shouldn't have bothered you with this matter, but, but Yun Xiangye is very arrogant, she is very protective of her maid..."
Zhao Yun lowered his eyes coldly and looked at the two people below him.
Fu Qianran did not dare to look up at Zhao Yun. She said hurriedly, "We are sorry to bother Your Highness. We will take our leave now."
Fu Qianran quickly signaled Fu Ming to leave. Seeing that the prince was angry, Fu Ming did not dare to stay in the East Palace any longer.
After Fu Ming left the palace, he looked at Fu Qianran coldly and said, "Your Highness, don't you even give you this little face?"
Fu Qianran whispered, "His Highness is the crown prince after all. It is not right for us to ask him to punish a little maid."
Fu Qianran breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the palace. Since His Highness was unwilling to get involved in this matter, she had finally given an explanation to her grandmother.
Inside the main hall.
Ye Wanhe listened to the footsteps going away, went to the tea room, made a cup of tea, handed it to Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness."
Zhao Yun took the teacup from Ye Wanhe and said in a cold voice, "What does the Fu family think of the Eastern Palace? They even come to me for such a trivial matter as punishing a maid? Is Fu Qianran so ignorant?"
Ye Wanhe didn't dare to say anything. She was a little worried about Yun Xiangye. She had finally returned to Chang'an, so how did she end up offending the famous playboy in Chang'an City?
Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "Yun Xiangye is quite arrogant. Like master, like servant. She slapped Gu Yan many times, and the maids around her followed suit."
Ye Wanhe was slightly surprised and asked, "Xiang Ye slapped Prince Ning? No way?"
Zhao Yun said: "Although Gu Yan applied ointment, how can the marks on his face be covered up so easily? You can't see them from a distance, but if you get closer you can see the finger marks on his face."
Ye Wanhe said: "Beating is love, scolding is affection. If a couple stops beating and scolding, they may not even have any love for each other."
Zhao Yun turned the teacup in his hand and looked up at Ye Wanhe with an unclear emotion in his eyes.
Ye Wanhe realized that she might have said something wrong, so she lowered her head and kept silent. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed acting strangely lately.
I couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so I decided to say less to avoid angering him.
--
In the Princess's Mansion.
Yun Xiangye embroidered for another whole afternoon and finally finished the red plum blossom picture. Her neck and eyes were so tired from embroidering the red plum blossom picture.
When Xiao Nuonuo saw Yun Xiangye turning her neck, she hurried forward and tapped Yun Xiangye's shoulders, pinching them with her little hands in a very realistic manner.
Yun Xiangye held little Nuonuo in her arms and said, "Thank you Nuonuo."
"Princess, the princess wants you to go to the main hall."
Yun Xiangye carried Nuonuo into the main room.
After entering the main hall, Yun Xiangye bowed to the Princess and Prince Ning who were sitting at the top of the table, "Father, Mother."
After Yun Xiangye finished her ceremony, she and Nuonuo went to Gu Yan's side.
There was also a man in the main room whom Yun Xiangye did not recognize.
When the man saw Yun Xiangye coming, he bowed and said, "Princess, I am a bad parent and offended you. I will go back and teach my son a lesson! This is our Xicheng Earl's Mansion's apology. I hope you will not mind and forgive my Yong'er this time."
Yun Xiangye listened to the words of the man in front of her and thought that he was the Earl of Xicheng.
Gu Yan said, "Yesterday my wife had already spared Wu Yong for the sake of Miss Fu's reputation, but you are getting even more aggressive. Today the old lady and the lady came to the Princess's residence to cause trouble with my wife, so the jail sentence for molesting the Crown Prince's Consort will definitely not be forgiven."
Yun Xiangye pulled Gu Yan's sleeve and said, "I have already promised Fu Qianran..."
Gu Yan said: "If we don't teach them a lesson, they will only become more aggressive."
Xie Zhixuan, who was at the head of the group, said, "Lord Xicheng, your Wu Yong is not young anymore. He should be taught a lesson. He dared to insult my daughter-in-law with disrespectful words. I am showing mercy by letting him sit in jail for a few days."
Xicheng Bo hurriedly responded with fear and trepidation: "Yes, Princess."
"Go down."
Xicheng Bo hurriedly bowed and took his leave.
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes and looked towards Gu Yan.
Xie Zhixuan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, I've told you that since you are my family, you don't have to worry about outsiders and let yourself suffer some grievances."
Yun Xiangye lowered her head and said, "Mother, I just think the Crown Princess is in a difficult situation."
Xie Zhixuan said, "Qianran is confused. If she indulges her cousin like this, she will only end up hurting herself. It is better for her to handle this matter impartially. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already said that he will not intervene in this matter. It is useless for the wife of the Marquis of Xicheng to embarrass Qianran. Besides, I have also reminded the Marquis of Xicheng, and he will restrain his family from making things difficult for Qianran."
Yun Xiangye replied, "Yes."
The next morning.
Yun Xiangye got up early, took a ruler to measure her body and went to the Fu family to ask to see Fu Qianran.
Yun Xiangye entered Fu Qianran's courtyard, and she woke up.
"Crown Princess, why are you here?" Fu Qianran said with slightly swollen eyes.
Yun Xiangye said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I promised you to release Wu Yong, but now..."
Fu Qianran said hurriedly: "You don't have to apologize to me. This matter is also my grandmother's fault for not wanting to let it go."
Yun Xiangye whispered, "Then can I still make clothes for Miss Fu Er?"
Fu Qianran laughed and said, "I'll ask the maid to invite her over. The Crown Prince's Consort will sit in the yard for a while."
Yun Xiangye sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking at Fu Qianran's garden. The scenery was very beautiful. The camellia was in full bloom. "The scenery of the courtyard here is a bit like a Jiangnan garden."
Fu Qianran asked, "Is the Crown Prince's Consort from Jiangnan? I heard that the spring scenery in Jiangnan is very beautiful."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Well, I came from Yongxing City. In another month, the flowers will bloom and the willow trees will sprout on both sides of the lake in Yongxing City. It will be a great place to cruise around the lake."
Fu Qianran sighed and said, "It's a pity that I will rarely see it in this lifetime."
Yun Xiangye listened to Fu Qianran's sigh with sympathy in her eyes. Although she would be the mistress of the six palaces after marrying the prince, she could no longer leave the palace freely.
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "When Gu Yan is free, I will ask him to draw a picture of Jiangnan Springtime Lake Cruise, and you can take a look at it."
But Yun Xiangye could call Prince Ning by his full name, and Prince Ning's paintings, which were priceless, seemed so easy to come by in her mouth. It seemed that they were a loving couple.
Fu Qianran said with envy: "You and the prince are so loving and affectionate. It's really enviable."
Yun Xiangye said: "Gu Yan and I don't have a loving relationship."
Fu Qianran said: "Hmm?"
Yun Xiangye also knew that it was not advisable to talk about deep things with a person who was not familiar with her. She did not tell Fu Qianran about the conflict between them. She smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to envy me. After you get married, you will definitely be able to love your husband and wife..."
Fu Qianran looked at Yun Xiangye with slightly red eyes and just smiled bitterly.
"Sister, what's the matter that brings you to me so early?"
Fu Anran came over yawning, and frowned slightly when he saw Yun Xiangye: "You're back? Didn't the rumor say that you ran away with the child? I was so happy for nothing."
Yun Xiangye: “…”
Fu Qianran glared at Fu Anran and explained, "Princess Consort, don't get me wrong. My sister now hates Prince Ning and no longer likes him. She is just happy that Prince Ning's wife and children are separated... not..."
Fu Qianran felt that it would be better not to explain.
Yun Xiangye smiled when she heard this.
Fu Anran said, "I did like Gu Yan before, but that was because I have the most beautiful face in the world and I don't want to waste my looks by marrying an ordinary ugly man. In the whole Great Sheng Dynasty, only Gu Yan's face barely matches mine, but he is blind and actually said that I am not as beautiful as you!"
Fu Qianran said helplessly: "Fu Anran, please think before you speak."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Miss An Ran is right. Gu Yan just doesn't have eyes."
Fu Anran said, "Now I find that Xie Shian is indeed good-looking, except that his mother's family background is relatively low. But if you think about it carefully, his mother's family background is not without advantages. If she marries him, she won't act like a mother-in-law, so it would be a good match."
Fu Qianran listened to Fu Anran's mindless words, which he still spoke without scruples in front of Yun Xiangye, and hurriedly walked to Fu Anran and stepped on him hard.
Fu Anran felt pain, "Sister, why did you step on me?"
Fu Qianran said, "The Crown Prince's Consort wants to make you a dress. Ask her to measure you."
Fu Anran blinked and looked at Yun Xiangye, "You are making clothes for me, not to harm me, right? Although I still had some fantasies about Prince Ning last year, I really don't have any feelings for him now. You don't need to be jealous to deal with me."
Fu Qianran took a deep breath, turned to look at Yun Xiangye and said, "My sister is not very smart. I hope the Crown Prince's Consort will not be angry at her nonsense."
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "Miss An Ran, I don't want to harm you. I just want to see what the clothes I made look like on the most beautiful lady."
