Chapter 98 Are you teaching me how to do things?
The Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion.
Pei Jinghong went out with Ruan Yunbo today. Apart from Xie Yan, only Ruan Yunsheng was left in the mansion.
Ruan Yunsheng was a little surprised to hear the news of Prince Duan's arrival.
Prince Duan has never come here since she slapped him at the door. Why is he here again today?
She was impatient to deal with Prince Duan, so she said to Butler Feng, "Just say that my third brother and I are not at the Marquis' Mansion, or find a random excuse to send him away."
Steward Feng quickly said, "Prince Duan may have guessed that the princess didn't want to see him, so he specifically mentioned that he came here on the emperor's orders."
Ruan Yunsheng's peach blossom eyes turned slightly cold. The last time Eunuch Yang came to announce the decree, it was the emperor who granted her a marriage. She was afraid that no good news would happen today!
But thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor, and she has no power to resist.
She calmed down, suppressed her annoyance towards Prince Duan and went to the front hall.
As soon as Prince Duan saw Ruan Yunsheng, he immediately asked with concern, "Mingyi, I heard that you were present when the Liang residence was attacked by assassins yesterday. How are you? Are you not injured?"
Ruan Yunsheng noticed Prince Duan's pair of dark panda eyes and thought to himself: Prince Duan's body must have become so weak that it is just an empty shell. Even in this state, there are still two women following him.
If he continues to indulge himself like this, Prince Duan will soon be bedridden.
She retracted her gaze and said calmly, "Bai Ruowei should have told the prince what happened. Did the prince come here today just to talk about this?"
Although Prince Duan was still obsessed with Ruan Yunsheng, he couldn't help but feel unhappy every time he faced her cold face.
He put away his smile and looked at Hongye and Qingping, "What are you standing there for? Come over and meet the princess."
Hongye and Qingping quickly bowed and said in a gentle voice, "This servant greets the princess."
Prince Duan said with a forced smile, "Mingyi, you don't know. The Emperor felt sorry for Xie Yan's injury and the lack of care, so he specially gave him two concubines."
"Although these two were only palace maids, they were carefully selected by the Ye Ting Bureau. The Emperor specially asked me to send them here to show his respect for Xie Yan."
"Look, Xie Yan is really lucky. This prince is so jealous!"
Ruan Yunsheng frowned. These two women were actually given to Xie Yan by the emperor?
When Hongye saw Ruan Yunsheng looking at her, she quickly gave a flattering smile.
Ruan Yunsheng felt even more annoyed after seeing it.
Although the third brother said that with Xie Yan's status, he would have three palaces and six courtyards sooner or later, but after all, he had never seen it with his own eyes, and it always seemed like a very distant thing.
But now, the person was right in front of her, making her feel inexplicably irritated.
She said in a cold voice: "If the prince is jealous, he can tell the emperor. I believe the emperor will not show favoritism."
Prince Duan sighed, "I don't have the good fortune of my third brother."
"I wonder which courtyard the Third Prince lives in? I'll personally send him there. Perhaps the Third Prince will be so happy to see this beautiful woman that his injuries will heal without any medicine!"
As he spoke, he was about to take the two palace maids to the inner courtyard.
"Wait!" Ruan Yunsheng said coldly, "Since these two were given to Prince Xuan by the Emperor, Your Highness should send them to Prince Xuan's Mansion, not the Zhenguohou Mansion!"
Not everyone can enter their Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
Hongye became anxious when she heard that Ruan Yunsheng would not let her into the mansion.
"Princess, the Emperor has ordered us to serve His Royal Highness Prince Xuan. Naturally, we should go wherever the Prince is. Now that the Prince lives in the Marquis' Mansion, it's natural for us to come here and serve him!"
"Princess, it is the emperor's wish to let me serve the prince! Do you want to disobey his order?" Qingping tried to use the emperor to pressure Ruan Yunsheng.
"You all go to Prince Xuan's mansion and wait. When the prince returns, you will naturally have the opportunity to serve him." Ruan Yunsheng said in a cold voice: "Butler Feng, please show him out!"
Prince Duan didn't expect that he would be stopped by Ruan Yunsheng before he even met Xie Yan!
He secretly winked at Hongye and the other two.
When he came, he warned them that if he couldn't get Xie Yan to accept them today, he would sell them out!
Even without Prince Duan's signal, Hongye was unwilling to leave like this.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has been living in the Marquis' Mansion recently. If they don't see the prince today and are sent directly to the backyard of Prince Xuan's Mansion, they don't know when they will have the chance to see the prince again.
If the prince has someone new by his side, there is no guarantee that he will forget about her!
She said anxiously, "Princess, I was given to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan by the Emperor. Whether I should stay or go should be decided by His Royal Highness himself. Now I haven't even seen His Royal Highness, how can you interfere?"
Qing Ping also followed up, "Yes, Princess, the prince is still unaware of the emperor's grace, and it is inappropriate for you to make the decision on your own."
Zhishu frowned and scolded, "How dare you two speak to the princess?"
Hongye stiffened her neck and said, "What the servants said is true."
She was already very confident about her appearance. On the way here just now, Prince Duan's eyes were always lingering on her, so she was even more certain that as long as Prince Xuan saw her, he would definitely be attracted to her!
Although she was born in a humble family, she was given by the emperor after all. Even if she could not become a concubine in the future, she could at least become a concubine after giving birth to a child!
Wealth and glory are right before their eyes, but Princess Mingyi won't even let them see the prince. How can this be possible?
"Are you trying to teach this princess how to do things?" Ruan Yunsheng's cold gaze suddenly turned fierce. "The Emperor has bestowed you upon Prince Xuan. You will go to Prince Xuan's mansion and wait. The Prince will send someone to tell him how to make arrangements!"
"This is the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion. It's not your turn to give orders!"
Qing Ping lowered her head and said amiably, "Princess, calm down. We are just trying to pay our respects to the prince first. As long as the prince gives the order himself, we will naturally keep our mouths shut."
Prince Duan then interjected, "Mingyi, if you don't want them to live in the Marquis' Mansion, how about this: have someone invite the Third Prince out and let him handle this matter personally?"
Ruan Yunsheng drooped his eyelashes and thought secretly: These three people are singing the same tune and are obviously on the same side.
I'm afraid these two palace maids have been bribed by Prince Duan.
If the two of them really served Xie Yan, it would be no different from having two more spies.
But since it was the emperor's gift, Xie Yan could not refuse.
Seeing that Ruan Yunsheng didn't say anything, Hongye rolled her eyes and said, "I know that the princess was once the adopted sister of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, but even so, as a sister, the princess shouldn't interfere in her brother's backyard affairs.
What's more, the prince has no relationship with the princess anymore. If the princess stops him like this, could it be..."
Ruan Yunsheng looked at her indifferently, "What's the problem? Keep talking."
Hongye was instinctively frightened, but then she thought, she had the support of the Emperor and Prince Duan behind her, so what was there to be afraid of?
Moreover, she is King Xuan's person. Even if the princess is unhappy, she cannot punish the prince's concubine!
She lowered her head, her attitude seemingly respectful, but revealing a bit of sarcasm: "This servant has no other intentions, I just want to follow the emperor's wishes and serve His Royal Highness Prince Xuan well. Please don't stop me, Princess."
Qingping also said, "Yes, Princess. If the Emperor knew that his kindness to the Prince was stopped by the Princess, I'm afraid he would be unhappy!"
