Chapter 120 The Food is Cold
"Your Highness is angry."
Shen Lingyi looked at the back of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as he left. She staggered and fell to the ground. She murmured, "Huayi, after being confined, can I still be favored again?"
"Crown Princess, I'm afraid you're going to laugh at me to death, right?"
Shen Lingyi gnashed her teeth in anger. She held Huayi's hand tightly and said, "Huayi, hurry up and find a way to inform mother!"
She cannot fall out of favor, life in the royal villa is so hard!
She didn't want to live that kind of life anymore.
"Concubine, His Highness will be fine after he calms down."
Huayi said comfortingly: "The concubine is as beautiful as a flower and as graceful as the moon. Your Highness has doted on her so much before, he will definitely not neglect her."
Shen Lingyi thought of the Crown Prince's kindness and special treatment of her in the past, and she felt more at ease. She said, "Huayi, you are right. This concubine is special. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince particularly likes this concubine. How could he possibly neglect this concubine?"
Thinking this way, Shen Lingyi began to actively compete for favor. Unfortunately, after being confined to her house, she had never even seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Instead, it was the annoying Concubine Du and the hypocritical Crown Princess who kept laughing at her and ridiculing her.
"The food is cold, how can I eat it?"
Shen Lingyi directly overturned the dishes on the table. There was cold food on the table, and none of it looked like she liked it.
"Concubine."
Huayi knelt down quickly and said, "Concubine, even these dishes were specially bought by me."
“…”
Shen Lingyi angrily smashed everything in the room and asked, "Have you been able to contact Mother?"
At this time, Shen Lingyi realized that life in the palace was too inconvenient!
It’s not as good as the Royal Villa, where she is the only one under house arrest.
She wanted to see her mother and ask her for help, but no one could pass the message.
"Concubine, I can't go out either. I spent money but got no reply. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." Huayi didn't dare to say any more.
Shen Lingyi kicked him angrily: "Even the Crown Princess can't cover up everything. No matter how much money it costs, I want to see my mother. At least, I want to see the letter!"
…
Linwang Mansion, Youlan Courtyard.
Concubine Fang had been nursing the wound on her forehead for half a month, and there was still a shallow scar on her forehead. She asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Why is the scar still so deep?"
"Concubine, Doctor Lin said that it will take a month for the ointment to completely disappear."
Aunt Gui said soothingly, "Concubine, look, the scar is much lighter in color."
Compared to the beginning, it is much shallower.
"Are you blind? It's so obvious, how can it be shallow?"
Concubine Fang asked angrily, "Did that bitch Shen get scolded by the prince? Did something go wrong with her housekeeping?"
Nanny Gui hesitated to speak, and Concubine Fang frowned and asked, "What's going on? Did the Fan family and the others rebel? They haven't thought about the future of their sons and men, right?"
"Concubine, Madam Fan..." Madam Gui hesitated for a long time before saying, "Madam Fan is no longer in charge of shopping."
Not only did he neglect the purchasing work, but he was also rewarded with ten slaps in the face by the prince.
"What?"
Concubine Fang raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?"
Time goes back.
When Mother Fan learned that the prince had slapped her ten times, she immediately understood that the prince was warning her. With this thought in mind, Mother Fan was extremely alert when preparing the grain the next day.
Mother Fan found a good excuse. There was no place to exchange the grain, so she just pushed the price down.
After seeing this, Shen Lingshu didn't say much, but Mother Fan thought that Shen Lingshu was too easy to fool, so she had other ideas.
You say, Mother Fan is stupid, but also quite smart. After giving up on the grain price, she turned around and worked on the vegetable price.
"Mother Fan, these eggs are fifty cents each?"
"And this meat, seventy cents a pound?"
When Shen Lingshu looked at the vegetable prices, she just wondered if Mother Fan had a problem with her brain. Did she really treat others as fools?
"Concubine Shen, these eggs are not ordinary eggs, but eggs from free-range chickens."
"And this meat isn't just any ordinary meat. It's from pigs raised in the mountains. It's not as tough as wild boars, and it tastes better than regular pork. So, of course, it's a bit more expensive."
"Concubine Shen, the prince and all the masters in the mansion are precious and valuable. This old servant must put in a lot of effort."
Mother Fan said with a smile, "This ordinary food naturally cannot be unfair to the masters."
"Mother Fan is so dedicated, it's really great." Shen Lingshu praised like this. Mother Fan was happy that Shen Lingshu was easy to fool, but who knew that Shen Lingshu turned around and ordered the small kitchen to make both dishes.
In the evening, Shen Lingshu directly sent the two dishes to the prince to try. As you can imagine, Chu Cong instantly became furious and said, "Bring Mother Fan here!"
When the two kinds of eggs and meat were served to her, Mother Fan couldn't tell them apart...
…
When Concubine Fang heard these words, her face turned black with anger: "Fan is such an idiot, she only cares about these petty gains in front of her."
“…”
Nanny Gui lowered her eyes and said nothing. In the past, Concubine Fang was even more cruel than Mother Fan.
"How's the investigation going for you? Is there any progress on the matter between that bitch Shen and the third place winner?" Concubine Fang felt that if she waited any longer, she would have no status in the palace.
"No, not really."
Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "The concubine is under house arrest now, and I can't leave. As for the prince... is the concubine going to go and look for him?"
"This concubine is innocent, why are you looking for her?"
Concubine Fang straightened her back and said, "If I really want to go look for him, doesn't that prove that I am guilty?"
At that time, she risked her life in order to make the prince believe her. If she went to beg the prince, wouldn't it prove that she was guilty?
No, this matter must not fall on her. Manager Xu has been rescued and Brother Hu has not been caught. The prince will never guess that she is the mastermind behind the scenes.
As long as she gets through it, the prince will definitely feel guilty towards her later!
“…”
Nanny Gui hesitated to speak, wanting to speak but not knowing how to say it. Time passed day by day, and Concubine Fang thought she could easily find Shen Lingshu's fault, but she never did.
Now, Shen Lingshu has managed the backyard of the palace in an orderly manner.
Concubine Fang, who was recuperating in the yard every day, was getting a little restless. If she waited any longer, would there be any future for her as a concubine in the mansion?
On the first day of August, Concubine Fang said, "Go and invite the prince over."
"yes."
Nanny Gui happily asked Cao Lu to invite them. At the same time, she immediately ordered people to dress up Concubine Fang. She said cautiously: "Concubine, the prince is of noble status. When the prince comes later, Concubine Fang must not be petty."
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Concubine Fang suppressed her excitement and watched Hong Feng combing some hair to cover the wound. She said, "No need to cover it."
