Chapter 213: The Palace Fight Can't Be Escaped
The people in the Prince's Mansion looked eagerly, but no one showed up.
Someone came to report to Crown Princess Zhou Jirou, saying that His Highness first went to Yuzhu Villa to drop off the people, and then entered the palace.
"Princess Consort, please go back to your room and wait! The weather is cold, and we don't know how long it will take for His Highness to come back." The housekeeper advised.
Zhou Jirou sighed softly and said to the concubines behind her, "Go back! Come back and pay your respects after His Highness returns."
Everyone's legs were sore from standing so when they heard the Crown Princess say this, they all bowed and left.
Zhou Jirou was dressed in gorgeous clothes, which were in accordance with the rules for entering the palace to meet the emperor. She had been standing there for a long time and was so tired that she felt she could not even lift her head.
"Didn't they say that the ceremony had already been held in Zhaojing? Why didn't they bring her back, but instead sent her to Yuzhu Villa?" Concubine Hui Lou Xinhui asked the housekeeper.
"This..." How could the butler guess what the prince was thinking?
"He is worried about us, which shows that he is in pain. He wants to let him suffer less outside during the period before the ceremony in Tianyao." Zhou Jirou sighed.
"She's just a wife, is it worth it?" Lou Xinhui looked very dissatisfied.
As a concubine, she was the favored one among the four wives. Her father was a general guarding the border. Of course, like the Crown Princess who was the daughter of the Prime Minister, she was bound by power and had nothing to do with love.
But then again, Yuwen You is handsome, talented in both literature and martial arts, and has a noble status. He is already the best man in the entire Tianyao. What else do they want?
"Crown Princess, let me go and take a look for you! Let me see what this little vixen Zhao Jing looks like!" Lou Xinhui was extremely anxious.
"Just be quiet! His Highness hasn't even entered the house yet, and you want to raid his backyard. Do you want to be upset when he comes back? If you don't want him to see you for a month, then just go, don't drag me into it." Zhou Jirou emphasized her tone.
One is the daughter of a civil official, the other the daughter of a military general; one is gentle, the other is fierce; they are a good match.
After hearing what the Crown Princess said, Lou Xinhui had no choice but to give up.
But she still felt uncomfortable. None of the four ladies behind her was not submissive to her, and she would not be polite to them once they entered the house.
Passing by the garden, he saw Yan Qing directing the servants to move things. Upon closer inspection, he saw that they were Yuwen You's personal belongings, the kind that was not easy to prepare in large quantities, so he asked where they were being moved to.
Yan Qingli said, "Replying to Concubine Hui, His Highness has ordered us to move to the other courtyard."
"Oh, then you better be careful." She didn't say anything, but her handkerchief was almost squeezed wet.
Yan Qing had just received the order after meeting Yuwen You. Originally, Yuwen You had no intention of living outside the mansion. For some reason, he felt bad when he saw Xue Jiaer leaning against the gate of the villa and seeing him off sadly.
After thinking about it, she asked Yan Qing to pack up his belongings and planned to stay in the villa with her at night after returning from the palace.
When he arrived at the palace, Yuwen You told King Tianyao about the situation on the Zhaojing border, Mo Beiyuan's idea of expanding northward, and Tianyao's response.
Unconsciously, he used many of the words that Xue Jiaer had said.
Along the way, the two discussed the northward expansion a lot. Xue Jiaer's undergraduate degree in psychology was not in vain. She repeatedly used high-frequency words to guide him to remember them, and now he could say them out loud.
You don't feel that she is teaching, but she is teaching all the time.
As long as she doesn't fall in love, she will have a lot more brain space and will be more intelligent.
King Tianyao was very pleased that the Crown Prince of Tianyao was so thoughtful.
"Fortunately, we listened to Han'er's advice and didn't touch Hantian Valley. Otherwise, if we went too deep, we would have fallen out with Mo Beiyuan and Zhao Jing. That would have made things difficult. If a real fight broke out, we still wouldn't be able to win."
"Father is right. I didn't know that Mo Beiyuan was so powerful and scheming. He even sent the princess to the border to build a city!" Yuwen You honestly admitted his mistake.
"No, no, this is not your fault, You'er. As the crown prince, you are also devoted to Tianyao. If Mo Beiyuan was not here, I would also think that Hantian Valley can be taken."
"Fortunately, everything is still in time. I would like to volunteer to go to the north." Yuwen You knelt down and begged.
"You have never been to the battlefield, and your father doesn't want you to suffer like this. I, Tianyao, have generals who can carry on the tradition, so you don't have to go there in person." King Tianyao felt a little sorry for his eldest son.
Most families are the same, the eldest and the youngest are the ones who are loved.
"Father, I must go this time. Please listen to my reasons." King Tianyao wanted to help, but Yuwen You pulled his father's pants and refused to get up.
Xue Jiaer once joked that when facing parents who love you so much, if you want something, just ask and cry, and you will get it.
"Stand up and talk. You've been so tired from the journey. How can you just kneel like this?"
Yuwen You then stood up and said, "Father, firstly, as the Crown Prince, I should also go to the battlefield to gain experience. Secondly, on the way back, I worked day and night and made a comprehensive plan. Thirdly, I have reasons why I must go."
"reason?"
"Please allow me to explain the reason to my father after I return. In short, I did all this for Tianyao."
King Tianyao nodded and said, "Go back and rest first."
Yuwen You knew that this meant he had agreed.
Now he will definitely summon several ministers to discuss this matter, and Yuwen You believes that no one will refuse this proposal.
So, he left the palace with peace of mind and went back to wait for the order.
This time, he wanted to bring Xue Jiaer with him. He wanted to see how she helped Mo Beiyuan complete the battle for the throne.
After going out, he went straight to Yuzhu Villa.
Unexpectedly, the alley in front of the courtyard was quite lively.
A servant from the mansion was standing at the entrance of the alley, watching for the wind.
What he didn't expect was that Yuwen You didn't take a carriage, but rode a horse because he was in a hurry to see Xue Jiaer.
He wanted to run in to report the news but he didn't dare to do so as Yan Qing kicked him to the ground.
Yan Qing had just delivered the things and went to the palace gate to wait for Yuwen You. Unexpectedly, Lou Xinhui followed him as soon as he left.
"Who's here?" Yan Qing asked.
"Your Highness, it's Concubine Hui." The man said timidly.
"I knew it was her." Yuwen You sneered, got off the horse and walked to the door.
Yan Qing winked at the servants in the alley, and everyone retreated outside the alley.
When they walked to the door, they saw that it was smashed into pieces.
When the people reached the alley entrance, Xue Jiaer knew it and she sighed.
"I didn't want to fight you guys, but since you came to me, you can't blame me. I might as well clear it out first."
She specifically ordered Wu Bi to hold the door open, forcing Lou Xinhui to order others to break the door open.
The maidservant at the door had her head hit and was bleeding all over her face.
She took the little snake from the space and placed it in the backyard where she lived, and trapped Yan Nan in the backyard to catch the snake.
It was not until Lou Xinhui chased her to the middle courtyard and ordered her men to search the house and turn it upside down that she came out.
She was wearing a snow-blue dress, but also wore the most expensive jewelry given by Yuwen You.
On the way, she just took it out to look at it and told Yuwen You that she was reluctant to wear it.
When Lou Xinhui saw the Golden Bird Singing Joyful Hairpin on her head, she became furious.
When Xue Jiaer knelt down to salute, he rushed over and pulled it out.
