Tong Cheng'er looked at Yinzhen and said, "You're quite good at attracting suitors, aren't you?"
Yinzhen's face instantly fell: "Cheng'er, I'm innocent! I don't know that Khorchin Princess."
He felt incredibly unlucky. This kind of unwanted romantic advances were definitely not what he wanted. If he had known it would happen, he would have pretended to be sick rather than show his face today.
"How could she ask to marry you if she doesn't even know you? Father Emperor has made it so clear, yet she still insists?"
Yinzhen: "Perhaps that princess isn't very bright."
Who knows what she was thinking? She just stuck to him like glue.
It took Yinzhen quite a while to coax the person into calming down.
...
The Third Prince's side.
"Master, where shall we stay tonight?"
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince couldn't help but recall the graceful way his wife had mounted her horse earlier that day, and said, "Let's go to the Fujin's place."
The Third Prince's wife is currently reading a storybook. This storybook was given to her by Tong Cheng'er yesterday. She had never had this hobby before, but she said she was bored, and Tong Cheng'er gave her a few books before leaving yesterday.
Since the Third Prince's wife had nothing better to do, she opened the book and started reading. Once she started reading, she got engrossed in it.
When the Third Prince arrived, his wife was reading a storybook. Because he entered without being announced, she didn't notice him immediately.
The Third Prince saw that she was engrossed in reading a book, and he wondered what book she was reading, so he quietly approached her.
The Third Prince's wife only heard his footsteps when he was almost upon her, and when she looked up, she saw the Third Prince.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she calmly put down the book and said indifferently, "Why did you come, sir?"
"I came to see you."
The Third Princess Consort found it strange; why was she looking at her like that?
"oh."
The Third Prince felt uneasy when she simply said "oh" and then fell silent. This woman used to be so attentive to him, why was she so cold to him today?
He's not used to it!
The silence in the air made the Third Prince feel very awkward.
"What book are you reading?"
The Third Prince's wife said in a casual tone: "A storybook to pass the time."
The Third Prince frowned: "Storybooks are not proper books after all. As a prince's wife, you shouldn't be reading these."
Upon hearing this, the Third Princess Consort almost laughed in anger. This person was full of talk about benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and morality, but she herself was blinded by lust and did all sorts of foolish things. How dare she criticize her?
She really didn't want to talk to this person anymore.
"Did I come all this way just to talk about this?"
The Third Prince shook his head: "No."
Third Prince's Wife: "Is there anything else, Master?"
He continued to shake his head: "It's nothing."
Third Prince's wife nodded: "Since there's nothing wrong, it's getting late, Your Highness should go and rest!"
The Third Prince was stunned. Was he being asked to leave?
Seeing that he didn't move, the Third Princess Consort said again, "My lord, you should go and rest."
She was reading a storybook! He was clearly getting in her way.
The Third Prince was driven away, and feeling embarrassed to stubbornly stay any longer, he left.
After he left, the maidservant beside the Third Prince's wife approached him, puzzled, and asked, "Prince's wife, it was obvious that the master intended to stay tonight. Why did you send him away?"
The Third Princess smiled and shook her head: "Granny, since he has left, it means he has no intention of staying."
If he really wanted to stay, she couldn't really kick him out.
Furthermore, she suddenly felt that reading storybooks was more comfortable than reading about the Third Prince. Why keep him around? Was she just asking for trouble?
The nanny then said something else: "Madam, I've noticed that Qiu Ping has been acting rather unruly lately."
The Third Princess Consort was taken aback upon hearing this: "Why is she no longer behaving herself?"
The old woman said, "She's gotten close to Qiu Bai, and that's why she's so arrogant."
Qiu Bai was the maid who caught the eye of the Third Prince.
Actually, it's more accurate to say that the Third Prince took a fancy to her than that one deliberately seduced her, while the other simply took advantage of the situation.
The Third Princess nodded: "Since you've become so ambitious, there's no point in keeping you around."
The old woman was startled upon hearing this: "Madam!!"
The Third Princess raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
The old woman said, "We're still in Mongolia now, unlike in the manor. It's not good for a maid to suddenly disappear."
San was taken aback, not expecting that the old woman had misunderstood.
She smiled and said, "Granny, I've never done anything to kill the maids around me before, so how could you have imagined that I would suddenly make someone disappear?"
The old woman looked puzzled.
Seeing this, the Third Princess couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, since you've become so carefree, and since the Master is a man who cherishes women, it's a shame that the old folks in the manor were all left behind when you came to Mongolia this time. Send Qiu Ping to keep Qiu Bai company!"
The old woman was terrified when she heard this; it sounded even more frightening than a death sentence.
How has the Princess Consort changed? In the past, when she heard that her master was staying out overnight, she would be so angry that she couldn't eat. Today, she actually said that she wanted to send the mistress to her master.
"Fu...Fujin!!"
The Third Princess looked at the nanny: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
The old woman shook her head: "This servant will arrange it right away."
The Third Princess nodded: "Alright, go ahead!"
The Third Prince had just returned to his tent when his servant came over and asked, "Master, shall we call Miss Qiu Bai over?"
The servant who spoke was the Third Prince's personal eunuch. He was used to seeing his master and his wife quarrel. Under normal circumstances, when his master got angry with his wife, he would go to the Beauty Village to seek solace. That's why he asked this question.
The Third Prince shook his head: "Let's call it a day."
"Yes, Master."
Just then, another servant entered: "Master, the Princess Consort has sent someone over."
