Chapter 196 The Third Princess Who Is Close to the People
He Yunyao seemed to have seen what Lin Yin was thinking, and hurried forward to take Lin Yin's arm, and said softly: "Cousin, are you looking for Mr. Song?"
Lin Yin patted her shyly: "Cousin, please don't tease me."
He Yunyao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her cousin finally smiled at her: "I saw the young master of the Song family when I entered the palace just now. He went to Qingyun Palace with the Marquis's wife. I'm afraid he is with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now!"
Lin Yin was not actually looking for Song Zhuo, but after hearing He Yunyao say this, she didn't say anything else.
I guess she is the daughter of some minor official and cannot enter the palace today.
After figuring this out, Lin Yin's face showed a hint of triumph.
The Dingguo Marquis' Mansion is such a huge fortune. Even if the Marquis' wife doesn't care about anything, would she still allow a girl from a minor official family to marry into the Mansion?
As the two were talking, they saw the second princess and the third princess walk in together.
All the ladies stood up and saluted.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Second Princess."
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Third Princess."
Because the second princess was older, she was the first to speak: "Ladies and young ladies, please get up quickly! Today is the birthday banquet for the Royal Grandmother. You don't have to be polite to me and my third sister. Just be casual."
Because the second and third princesses were present, everyone became nervous.
After the second princess and the third princess sat down in their respective seats, they could hear some discussions from time to time.
"I only heard that the eldest princess was famous, but I didn't expect the second princess to be such a kind person."
"Yes! I heard that the Third Princess is also very kind. My son even ran into the Third Princess at the night market that day, and he kept praising her when he came back!"
"Is your young master interested in the third princess?" The man looked at the lady who had spoken earlier with a joking look on his face.
The lady explained hurriedly: "Madam, please don't talk nonsense. How can my family marry into the royal family?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingxue picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and did not speak.
The third princess, Lu Xingyu, looked at her like this, and was full of disgust in her heart, but she still smiled: "Second sister, you haven't come to the palace to look for me these days. How come you have forgotten me while clinging to your elder sister?"
The third princess is the daughter of Yun Guiren.
It was Yun Guiren who had previously tried to use witchcraft to frame Song Qingyan but failed, and was instead defeated.
Because her mother was killed by the Royal Concubine, the Third Princess hated everyone related to Qingyun Palace.
As a result, he also started to dislike the eldest princess.
If the third princess were to get together with the sixth princess, they would be "birds of a feather flock together".
The Second Princess heard this and just glanced at the Third Princess: "Sister, you are overthinking. I am just a little busy lately."
The second princess originally had a good relationship with the third princess, but after the marriage incident, she gradually stopped interacting with her sisters in the palace. She would only visit Qingyun Palace from time to time, or visit the Queen Mother's Rongle Palace.
On the other hand, Lin Yin did not expect that He Yunyao would suddenly shake her off and go to the third princess.
Lin Yin was stunned.
Is He Yunyao crazy today? The two princesses were sitting there quietly, and no one dared to disturb them. How dare she...
But the scene before her was indeed beyond her imagination.
He Yunyao walked up to the two princesses and saluted politely: "Greetings to the two princesses."
The second princess looked at the person in front of her in confusion, but the third princess stood up from her seat and helped He Yunyao up.
Lin Yin was stunned not far away.
He Yunyao actually hooked up with the third princess? How did she hook up with the third princess?
"Sister, this is He Yunyao, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works, Lord He." The third princess happily introduced He Yunyao to the second princess.
She rarely appeared in front of the noble families in the capital before. Her mother always said that she had to remain mysterious and would definitely find a good family for her when the time comes.
But after his mother passed away, his marriage would probably fall into the hands of the Empress. Even more frightening was that it might fall into the hands of the Imperial Concubine.
Thinking of this, the third princess began to make some plans for herself.
The previous night market was her first appearance.
I never thought that there really was a girl from a noble family trying to get close to me, and she was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works.
The second princess took a look at the person in front of her and understood what was going on. However, she wanted to deliberately annoy them. "I know you. Your mother is the aunt of Master Pei. When you came here just now, you saw Master Pei outside. Did you go and talk to your cousin?"
When the Second Princess said this, He Yunyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I... my mother is not Pei."
"I forgot that Madam He passed away many years ago. Your mother should be the successor of Lord He. So Miss He should be Lord He's legitimate daughter. Why don't you see your sister?"
As the Second Princess spoke these words, He Yunyao felt her head buzzing.
His impression of the Second Princess was not very good, but because the person in front of him was a princess, he could only listen respectfully.
If it were someone else, she would have torn that person's mouth off long ago.
The third princess didn't care, as if she couldn't see through the second princess's sarcasm: "My sister, why do you care so much about their identities? When interacting with people, sincerity is the most important thing, isn't it?"
Seeing the Third Princess's expression, the Second Princess was unwilling to continue pretending with her, so she just smiled and said, "Third sister is right."
Hearing the Third Princess say this, He Yunyao's heart was even more excited. She never thought that the Third Princess was such a reasonable person.
Then he hurriedly pulled the Third Princess's hand and said, "When you were in the palace, you must have had little contact with young ladies from noble families outside. How about Yun Yao take you around?"
Of course the third princess was willing.
What she wants to establish is an image that is approachable to the people.
He turned around and greeted the second princess, then walked outside with He Yunyao.
Lin Yin watched He Yunyao pulling the third princess out and hurried over to her, "Sister Yun."
He Yunyao knew that as long as she hooked up with the third princess, others would look up to her.
Look, isn’t my cousin the best example now?
She was clearly ignoring me just now, but now she calls me Sister Yun.
"Your Highness," He Yunyao looked at the Third Princess with a smile, "This is my cousin, Lin Yin, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel."
"Hello, Miss Lin." The third princess also looked at Lin Yin with a smile.
Seeing that the Third Princess was so polite to her, Lin Yin quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am too polite to accept this."
The ladies and young ladies have arrived one after another.
Even the concubines from various palaces have arrived one after another.
As for the Queen, after being brought out of Rongle Palace by the Emperor of Great Chu, she left Shen Ning alone in the Yu Garden without saying a few words.
"I will go back to Yu's study first. Your Majesty, you can walk around the garden by yourself!" The Emperor of Great Chu left the Empress alone and went to Yu's study.
