Nanny Hai first bowed to Song Chengze and Meng Qi with a smile on her face, "So the prince went to practice sword, I thought..." She didn't finish her words, but looked at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi sat back in front of the dressing table without answering. Song Chengze said softly, "Tell them to get everything ready. The prince and the princess will go to the palace to express their gratitude first. When we return, I will follow the princess's instructions and call everyone in the palace to pay their respects to her."
Nanny Hai knelt down and said, "I have made all the arrangements, Your Highness, rest assured."
After saying this, he walked towards the kang and after a while, he took out the blood-stained silk handkerchief with a look of satisfaction. Baochun blushed and gently opened the box in the lady's hand and put the things in.
Mother Liu looked at the silk handkerchief and finally felt relieved.
Haitang stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, should I bring you the clothes or should you go to the outer courtyard to change?"
Song Chengze stood up and said, "Let's go to the outer courtyard."
"How about I go back and bring back a few more sets of clothes for the prince?" asked Matron Hai.
Song Chengze paused, looked back at Meng Qi who was still sitting there, and said, "No need." Then he lifted the curtain and walked out.
A hint of satisfaction appeared on Madam Hai's lips. She watched Baochun and Haitang follow Song Chengze out. She turned to Meng Qi and said, "If the princess has no other instructions, I will go and arrange the carriage first."
Meng Qi ignored her. Mother Liu stepped forward and said, "Thank you, sister."
Nanny Hai was not at all dissatisfied with Meng Qi's attitude. From the moment she entered the room and saw the expressions of the two people, she knew that last night was not a pleasant one. Although Meng Qi did not allow her and her people to come forward, the back room did not ask them to carry water yesterday.
Moreover, the prince actually went to practice swordplay early in the morning on the first day of his marriage. Although this was a habit the prince had maintained for many years, yesterday was his wedding. If he was satisfied with the princess or was showing his affection last night, how could he have gotten up so early in the morning?
At least, the prince did not practice sword dancing for the first three days after the first two princesses came into the palace.
And looking at the way the two of them looked just now, they didn't have a single word of conversation, not even any eye contact. They were already like this just one day after getting married. Ha, who knows what it will be like in the future.
When Nanny Hai thought of this, her feet felt like they had wind. Very good, this is how the prince should be. If he married someone with such a bad reputation and kept her as a slave, how wronged he would be.
Furthermore, there was another advantage to her, as the new princess's lack of favor meant that she still had a share of the inner court's power. According to the prince's wishes, matters concerning the inner court would definitely not be handed over to the new princess. With the new princess in the fold, neither Li nor Lin would be able to interfere in matters of the inner court, which would give her more space to utilize.

In Huamu Garden, Xiao Lin, while her hair was being combed by a maid, looked at the young eunuch standing at the door with his back bent, and snorted coldly, "Is that all you've heard?"
"Yes, they say the prince went to the outer courtyard to practice swordplay before daybreak. When he came back, Matron Hai took the female historian with him. Not long after, the prince came out, and Baochun and Haitang followed him to the outer courtyard."
"The prince went to the outer courtyard again, not with the princess?"
"No, they said the prince went back to the outer courtyard to change clothes, and he never came back to Jing'an Garden. The princess took a sedan chair directly to the outer courtyard and went to the palace with the prince."
"Huh? The prince actually went back to the outer courtyard to change clothes before going to the palace? He didn't leave his clothes in Jing'an Garden in advance?"
"That's what I heard."
Xiao Lin stood up happily and said, "Last night he didn't order water, and today the prince went to practice sword dancing early in the morning, and then went back to the outer courtyard to change into palace clothes. Ha, ha ha ha, this Meng is really incompetent."
Liunian, the eldest maidservant beside Xiaolin, stepped forward and said with a smile, "I told you not to worry. Based on the rumors about her, she is nothing to be afraid of."
Xiao Lin nodded with satisfaction and said to the young eunuch, "Go and see what's going on with Li."
The young eunuch bent over and retreated in a hurry.
