Chapter 38 Not Good
Cheng Nianying pretended to dig it out from the bottom of the box, and then returned to Fu Yi: "The purse I mentioned that day."
Fu Yi took a closer look.
It is embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the needlework is delicate and skillful, just like the stitching of the amulet... too exquisite.
Fu Yi: "Oh, so it's this thing. I had completely forgotten about it. I didn't expect you to still remember it. You are so thoughtful."
Thinking that she would soon have an extra piece of golden thread, Cheng Nianying's smile became much more genuine: "I'll tie it for the prince."
Fu Yi…didn’t really want to tie it around his waist.
But before he could say anything, Cheng Nianying had already actively moved closer to him, even putting the meal aside for a moment.
She bent down, her fingers flying, and tied Fu Yi in a blink of an eye.
Fu Yi: "...Serve the food."
Mu He moved her stiff legs and finally found a place where she could insert her hands.
But that’s all.
"Go away." Fu Yi dismissed them. It seemed that he had something private to say to the Princess.
Mu He couldn't help but remind her, "The Crown Prince's Consort is still waiting for the County Prince's Consort to come over."
Cheng Nianying was surprised: "Crown Prince's Consort?"
"My eldest brother Fu Cheng's wife." Fu Yi explained, then turned to look at Mu He, "Then you go and serve her."
Mu He felt a lump in his throat and replied with a bow, "Yes."
"What is the Crown Princess doing here?" Cheng Nianying thought of the answer after asking, "Is she here to visit you?"
"It's not really a visit. I just give some things, say a few words and then leave." Fu Yi was obviously used to this process.
"Eat first, no need to rush." Fu Yi glanced at the chopsticks in her hand.
Cheng Nianying understood. Since she wasn't close to her parents, she naturally wouldn't be close to her sister-in-law either.
But then she remembered... why didn't the Wuning Marquis' Mansion send anyone to greet them?
Cheng Nianying took a bite of food in silence.
The next moment, she was stunned.
But she concealed her shock at that moment very well, and when she raised her face, her expression was back to normal.
Cheng Nianying asked, "Does the prince usually drink?"
"I used to drink, but I probably won't drink anymore."
Yes, he is sick.
It's unlikely to get anything out of him when he's drunk.
Cheng Nianying brought up the topic directly: "I met two princes in the palace."
Fu Yi: "Did they talk to you?"
"I did, and one of them said something bad about you."
Fu Yi asked with a smile: "Oh? What bad things did you say about me?"
"He said you were a traitor," Cheng Nianying said, looking up at him. There was no sign of anger on his face.
"Oh, that must be what King Liang said."
"Does he have a grudge against you?"
"Yes, I do."
"What's King Liang's name?" Cheng Nianying's question suddenly took a sharp turn.
Fu Yi smiled even more happily: "Why? Madam, do you want to remember this grudge for me and complain to the Buddha?"
Cheng Nianying: "...Yeah."
"Prince Liang's name is Zhong Dingchuan."
"What about King Rui who was walking with him?"
"Zhong Fu."
"What's Princess Zhaoning's other name?"
"How could I know the woman's name?"
"Where's the prince?"
This is what Cheng Nianying really wants to ask.
"Zhong Dingyuan."
None of them is related to "Shu".
Cheng Nianying was a little disappointed.
However, to make sure this conversation wasn't strange or abrupt, she continued by asking, "Why are the titles of Prince Rui and Prince Liang different?"
"Liang is the name of a fiefdom. Prince Liang has his own fiefdom." Fu Yi paused and asked, "Do you still think their names are different? The Crown Prince and Prince Liang are both from the Ding generation. As for Prince Rui, he is just your Majesty's nephew."
Cheng Nianying felt that these words were still quite useful.
There were so many people in the royal family that she didn't quite understand them all. She had never encountered the various rules and regulations of the royal family before.
Fortunately, Prince Danshuo answered the question as soon as it was asked, which was really useful.
Cheng Nianying quickly finished her breakfast, put down her chopsticks, and asked Fu Yi, "Can I go back to the Wuning Marquis' Mansion to take a look?"
She had heard that a married daughter could not easily return to her parents' home.
Fu Yi slowly turned the teacup in his hand, his tone neither hurried nor slow: "I'm afraid that won't work. The people from Wuning Marquis' Mansion have left the capital."
Leaving Beijing?
Cheng Nianying was really disappointed this time.
"Then I'll go to Wei's house later."
Fu Yi raised his eyes: "Not with the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Cheng Nianying said, "The prince is not close to them, so naturally I won't be close to them either."
Fu Yi put down the teacup, looked at her and smiled: "Okay, if you want to go to the Wei family, go ahead."
"I'm leaving."
"Um."
Cheng Nianying walked out and Wu Xun walked in.
Fu Yi took off the purse from her waist and threw it to him.
Wu Xun's hands trembled: "Why did the master give it to me?"
Fu Yi: "She didn't embroider it."
If she embroidered it, would you really tie it around your waist every day?
Wu Xun was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and asked hurriedly, "How do you know this wasn't embroidered by the Princess?"
"If she could embroider, why would she just watch the thread on the amulet break without fixing it?"
"...That's the truth." Wu Xun thought for a moment, "You still think she's not a daughter of a marquis?"
"There is a conjecture that needs to be verified."
*
After Cheng Nianying walked out of the courtyard, she thought for a moment and instructed the palace servant beside her: "I will go to the Wei Mansion later. I want to take a jar of wine with me."
The palace servants dared not disregard this person's order and quickly responded, "Hey."
Cheng Nianying walked in and came before the Crown Prince's Consort.
The Crown Prince's Consort was originally sitting there steadily, and Mu He stood beside her and talked to her.
As she was talking, she saw Cheng Nianying come in without bowing... The Crown Prince's Consort suddenly remembered... it was her turn to bow.
Although she was the eldest sister-in-law, she was only the Crown Prince's Consort. Opposite her was a legitimate Princess of a County, whose rank was far higher than hers.
The Crown Prince's Consort stood up awkwardly and bowed briefly.
"Sister-in-law is here today..." Cheng Nianying began politely.
"I'm sending you some valuable medicinal herbs. I heard you were attacked last night. Are you injured?"
"Nothing."
"That's good." The Crown Princess waited for a while after saying this, and found that Cheng Nianying did not respond, and she was silent for a while.
This is extremely rare among the noble ladies in the imperial capital.
Who doesn't pass on a few words, and only with the give and take of each other can there be a lively and joyful atmosphere? Only in this way can relationships be established?
Cheng Nianying looked up at the Crown Prince's wife at this time. Seeing her expression frozen, she took the initiative to say, "I have accepted all the things on behalf of the prince. Thank you for coming to visit. I will not keep you here."
When Mu He heard this, she felt much more at ease.
This person really can't be a qualified princess...
Not to mention dancing with long sleeves, he can't even do the simplest thing.
Just as the atmosphere was stagnant, a palace attendant came in carrying a jar of wine: "The ceremony is ready, you asked for your approval..."
"Yes, bring it here." Cheng Nianying opened the lid and lowered her head to smell it.
The Crown Princess choked up in her throat.
How could one prepare wine as a return gift?
Just open it and smell it?
"Yurong." The Crown Prince's wife called out.
Cheng Nianying ignored her at this time.
She confirmed.
My sense of smell and taste are disappearing.
Cheng Nianying covered it again: "Take it off."
Crown Princess:?
Take it away?
Isn't this a return gift?
