"Why?" Mrs. Wu frowned.
Ms. Zhang said softly, "Think about it. The prince and the princess had such a big fight last night that they didn't even stay in the main room. It hasn't even been a month. I'm afraid the princess did something that the prince couldn't tolerate."
Wu raised her eyebrows. "Haven't you heard? Let me tell you, the princess got drunk yesterday and went to the outer courtyard study to make trouble. I heard she smashed the prince's study, saying that the prince didn't return to the inner house because there was a vixen hiding in the study."
"That's not what I'm talking about. Why the prince and princess are angry has nothing to do with us, but this matter has become so serious. If you bring the eldest daughter with you at this time, I'm afraid it will make the prince unhappy."
"How could that be? It's because the princess made the prince unhappy that I brought the eldest daughter with me. The prince will definitely be happy to see the eldest daughter." Wu said unhappily.
"Do you think that the prince, who was so angry with the princess that he refused to even return to his bridal chamber, would be happy just because the young lady came to see him? Even if the prince was happy to see the young lady, it was because he didn't want her to be sad. As for whether he was happy to let the young lady see him being mad at the princess, who knows?"
Wu was stunned at first, then she thought carefully about what Ms. Zhang said, "You mean, the prince doesn't want others to see him angry?"
Ms. Zhang nodded. "That's right. Besides, Concubine Lin has already gone. If it's useful, bringing the eldest daughter with you now would just be icing on the cake. If it's useless, why bother sharing the anger directed at Concubine Lin? Why not stay in the room and listen to what's going on outside? If the prince is pleased, you can bring the eldest daughter with you in the afternoon or evening."
Jinzhi took the opportunity to step forward and said, "I also think what the lady said makes sense. In my opinion, I'm afraid that the prince is still angry. Concubine Lin will not get any good results if she goes there."
Wu let go of Song Nongyu's hand and rolled her eyes at Jinzhi, "If you knew, why didn't you remind me just now?"
Jinzhi showed an embarrassed expression and glanced at Ms. Zhang. Ms. Zhang smiled and said, "She didn't just think of this. Let's go inside. I have a few things to tell you."

Jinmoju
Li was sitting on the big kang by the window, holding a small jacket. The jacket was made of blue-green material with a golden edge, which was very eye-catching.
Luo Lan handed the wrapped buttons to Li. "When I went to Chu Yuyuan yesterday, Madam Zhao said that the jacket you made for the Second Young Master was too small after just a few wears. She couldn't bear to put it away, saying that your needlework was so good."
Mrs. Li smiled softly, "Children grow quickly when exposed to the wind, and the Second Young Master is a strong man. I'm afraid he won't be able to wear this coat for many days."
Li's needlework skills were top-notch when she was a palace maid. At that time, Song Chengze was not favored by the emperor, and Concubine Lian did not protect him. Although he had the empress, she was not his biological mother after all, and the empress treated him well only because the emperor praised her for being kind.
At that time, the purse worn by Prince Rui, the fan cover he used, as well as the shoes and underwear he used were almost all sewn by her. Over time, her skills were honed.
After moving out of the palace, everything else was easy, except for shoes, which she continued to buy for Prince Rui, especially the soft-soled shoes that he wore at home. Prince Rui liked them very much and never let anyone else buy them.
Luo Lan smiled and said, "Mother Zhao keeps saying that the Second Young Master is blessed."
Li said softly, "Tell her not to say that again. It won't be good if others hear it. He's the legitimate young master of the palace. How dare I, a concubine, let the second young master enjoy my blessing?"
Luo Lan sighed softly. Her own concubine had the ability, the experience, and the popularity, but her background was a dead end. Otherwise, given the lack of a mistress in the palace for several years, it would have been her turn to manage the inner chambers. If it had truly been handed over to Concubine Li, the inner chambers of the palace would have been harmonious, free of the cliques and cliques that caused the prince so much worry.
"I was just saying that, I wouldn't let anyone else hear it." Roland took out a skein of silk thread and slowly separated it. "Won't you consider what Madam Zhao said last time?"
Li paused and looked out the window. Mother Jin was coming in from the courtyard gate and standing at the bottom of the steps. She was talking to a servant girl, who nodded repeatedly and walked towards the hanging flower gate.
"I don't know what the princess means. It's not a good time to discuss this with the prince."
Luo Lan thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, if the princess keeps quarreling with the prince, he probably won't have such thoughts. Besides, the princess is young and just married into the family, so I'm afraid she won't agree to such a request. So, if you bring it up, the prince will definitely agree."
Li didn't say anything, but lowered her head and continued sewing.
Mother Jin changed her clothes in the main hall and warmed her hands before standing at the door. "The old slave is back."
"Come in." Li said.
Mother Jin bowed to Li and said, "On my way back just now, I saw Concubine Lin. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying."
"Oh? Didn't she take the eldest young master to Bibo Hall to pay her respects to the prince?"
"Yes, I saw that the direction they were coming back from was Bibo Hall."
"You haven't even taken the warm sedan yet?" asked Li.
Mother Jin shook her head. "No, I was in a hurry. There was a maid on the way. I just asked how I was, and Concubine Lin raised her hand and slapped the maid twice."
"Ah? Did the prince scold you?" Roland asked, putting down the thread in her hand.
"Who knows? I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Should we send someone to investigate?" Mother Jin looked up at Li.
Li said nothing. After a long while, she said, "No need. It seems that the prince is really angry about what happened last night. Let's not get involved. Tell everyone in the courtyard to be honest. Don't ask around, and don't let people from other courtyards trick us into saying anything."
