So, the affection she expressed was real?
She...really has feelings for him?!
The pen in his hand stopped moving, and the ink dripped onto the rice paper, but the prince didn't care at all. He smiled and put the pen back on the shelf. "Some time ago, I heard that the eldest lady of the Marquisate registered a daughter under her name?"
"Yes, I heard that she is the fourth daughter of a concubine in the Marquis's mansion. The concubine who gave birth to the fourth daughter passed away early, so the fourth daughter has no one to rely on."
As the steward of the Eastern Palace, the things that Achai comes into contact with are naturally different from before.
Although he was not interested in these messy things, he had to know that if his master asked about them one day, he would have to be able to answer them.
For example, now.
The prince took a sip of tea, a smile on his face, and it was clear that he was in a very good mood. "Well, the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion is getting married. Go to my private storehouse and get the pair of floating green jadeite hollowed-out Sanskrit characters for "Fu" and send them to the Marquis' Mansion to congratulate the eldest daughter."
"yes!"
Ah Chai bowed in response, and the Crown Prince continued, "Take another jade pillow with green threads and ask the Marquis to pass it on to the Marquis's daughter."
When two priceless treasures were presented to him, Marquis Yuanning was so surprised that he was speechless.
Ever since Lin Chunhuan explained the spies and the drama in the Marquis' Mansion in Tingshui Pavilion last time, he already knew that his fourth daughter had her own plans.
And he could already speak!
This daughter not only plotted against the prince, but also plotted against her father.
But after knowing this, Marquis Yuanning was not unhappy at all. Instead, he gave Lin Chunhuan more room to maneuver and helped him wherever he could in secret.
Even if I can't help, I won't make things worse.
I didn't expect that after only letting go for half a year, things would end like this!
The girl's actions were even more skillful and faster than his father's!
"Come here, take this blessing character to the young lady."
The eldest lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She thought that both things were for Lin Yimiao. But when she saw that Marquis Yuanning had only sent one, her face immediately fell.
Regardless of the fact that Ah Chai, the East Palace steward, was still there, he immediately stopped the person delivering the gift and asked, "What does your Majesty mean by this?"
"Both things are obviously for our Miaomiao, why did the Marquis secretly withhold one? Don't tell me he has taken a fancy to some little bitch again and wants to use the prince's things to curry favor with others!"
Marquis Yuanning: "..."
The veins on his forehead couldn't stop throbbing, and Marquis Yuanning felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have chosen to marry Wang because she was young and beautiful, but also had a stupid and easy-to-control personality.
This time, all the retribution has really come upon me!
Glancing at Ah Chai with some apology, Marquis Yuanning lowered his posture and said, "Please ask Manager Chai to report to the Crown Prince that I will personally deliver this jade pillow to the Fourth Young Lady!"
"The entire Marquis' Mansion is waiting for the Crown Prince's arrival!"
Achai nodded, very politely.
Although it was only half a year, in terms of dealing with people, although Ah Chai was not as good as others, he was much better than before. "That's good."
"My master specifically instructed that this jade pillow is a gift from the emperor. Every penny of it is valued by the master!"
"Naturally, naturally, this is natural!"
After sending Ah Chai away, the eldest lady was still in a daze, not coming to her senses. "This jade pillow, this... such a good thing, was actually given to that little girl Xiao Si?!"
"How is this possible!"
Marquis Yuanning snorted coldly. If he wasn't afraid of this woman doing something bad, he wouldn't have wanted to say a word to her. "Why not? This jade pillow is a token of trust."
"This marriage has been decided!"
The eldest lady still couldn't believe it, but it was not her turn to disbelieve it. In just one day, the news that the fourth young lady of the Marquis's Mansion left the East Palace late at night had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto, and even alarmed the current emperor!
In the palace, the emperor couldn't even bear to read the memorial in his hand, and he would look outside every now and then.
This look made Concubine Li, who was serving beside her, bite her lips several times, and her eyes seemed to be filled with poison, but she still had to put on a smile when she turned around to make the emperor happy.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This is real and can't be fake. Just wait patiently."
As she spoke, Concubine Li had already placed her hands on the emperor's shoulders. The princesses under her knees were obviously adults, but those hands and that face.
But she has the charm of a mature woman, without any trace of old age, and every move she makes is very alluring.
No wonder she is still favored by the emperor at her age.
But today, although Concubine Li was acting charmingly, the emperor's mind was not on her at all. He was so anxious that he couldn't even sit still, pacing anxiously in front of the palace, "How can I not be anxious!"
"The Crown Prince has been unable to allow women to get close to him for so many years, but now he can allow a woman into the East Palace! This is a great thing."
The more he spoke, the more excited the emperor's face became. "If the Crown Prince can have sex with that woman and give birth to a child for this country, and pass the throne to the Crown Prince, then I will be relieved."
"That's strange."
Hiding the resentment in her eyes, Concubine Li pretended to be curious like a little girl, which made people feel that she was pretentious. However, the emperor fell for it and kept smiling, "What's so strange about it?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the prince has been suffering from this illness for many years. How can it be cured just like that? Among them..."
"shut up!"
Hearing the deep meaning in Concubine Li's words, the emperor's eyes also showed a hint of murderous intent. No matter how good a woman is or how deep the feelings are, in the heart of an emperor, she cannot compare to the country and the people.
The emperor hoped that the prince would get better, and now he finally saw hope. Although he knew that this matter could not be changed by just a few words from Concubine Li, he still couldn't stand any slander!
The cold gaze made Concubine Li tremble slightly. "Say another word, and go back to your Yanxi Palace."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Concubine Li quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to say another word, but when she lowered her head, her eyes were full of resentment.
She really didn't understand why that woman had such a good life. She died so early, yet she still gave birth to a son to annoy her!
Now in this harem, even the current queen has to pamper her and give in to her, but there is a prince who cannot stand the sight of women and cannot be provoked or touched.
Concubine Li would never doubt that if the emperor were asked to choose between her and the prince, she would undoubtedly be abandoned!
The atmosphere in the hall was a little tense. The eunuch beside the emperor came in just in time and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants to see you. He is waiting outside the door!"
