Chapter 141 She's such a green tea b*tch
Mu Ge sneered: "I think you're just jealous that I can win the prince's favor, and you're afraid that the prince will take me as a concubine, so you're doing everything you can to prevent me from seeing the prince. You and your mistress, the prince's wife, are exactly the same! Selfish and petty, with hearts smaller than the eye of a pin!"
Hua Yi covered her mouth in surprise: "It's one thing for you to insult me, but how dare you insult our Crown Princess? The Crown Princess took you in to live in the Prince's Mansion, gave you a separate courtyard to live in, and provided you with all kinds of food every day, even fresh fruit. Aren't you grateful? Sigh, you ungrateful wretch!"
Mu Ge rolled her eyes: "What does this have to do with the Crown Prince's wife? This was clearly provided to me by the Crown Prince. If I should be grateful, it should be to the Crown Prince! Get out of my way, I want to go in and express my gratitude right now!"
Hua Yi stood motionless guarding the door: "Miss Mu, it's not very proper for an unmarried young lady like you to be going into the young master's room every day. If word gets out, people will gossip about you. I'm fine with it, I'm just doing this for Miss Mu's own good!"
Mu Ge was lucky she didn't spit out blood. She had just used this argument against Xiao Qingyuan, and now Hua Yi was using it on her! What a green tea b*tch!
Why did Shen Wantang choose such a thing to be Xiao Qingyuan's maid? Couldn't she have chosen someone honest, reliable, and easy to talk to?
Having this kind of green tea around the Crown Prince will surely corrupt him!
Mu Ge was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged, but she couldn't break through Hua Yi's defenses no matter what she did. This maid looked weak and frail, but it was all an act. She was very strong and couldn't be pushed away at all!
She could only leave indignantly, muttering under her breath as she walked: "Damn Shen Wantang, she must have done it on purpose. She knows that Huayi is exceptionally strong, so she deliberately placed her next to the young master to keep an eye on me!"
"I could have been a concubine to the young master, but Shen Wantang ruined it all! Shen Wantang, I'm not finished with you!"
A voice, like a ghost, rang out behind her: "Miss Mu, who are you going to hold a grudge against?"
Mu Ge was terrified. She turned around abruptly and saw that Hua Yi had appeared out of nowhere and was following behind her without making a sound!
Mu Ge, enraged and embarrassed, retorted, "Are you crazy? What are you trying to do, sneaking around following me like that?!"
Hua Yi remained as gentle as ever: "Why is Miss Mu reacting so strongly? What's wrong? Did you do something wrong?"
"None of your business! You're the one who did something wrong, your whole family did something wrong!"
"Sigh, it seems Miss Mu has no manners at all. Didn't your parents teach you anything? Don't you even know the principle of not offending people when you're out and about? Oh, right, your parents are both dead. No wonder no one taught you."
Mu Ge was furious and raised her hand to slap Hua Yi.
Hua Yi caught her slap with quick reflexes and then squeezed it slightly.
Mu Ge immediately screamed in pain: "Ah! It hurts so much! Let go! Otherwise I'll tell the prince!"
Huayi naturally didn't want to actually cripple her, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the prince. She let go of her hand and handed her a handkerchief: "I chased after you to give you this handkerchief. You are so careless. You embroidered such a delicate and beautiful handkerchief so carefully. How could you just throw it away like that? Please take it back. It wouldn't be good if someone saw it."
Mu Ge rubbed her wrist while glaring fiercely at Hua Yi. If looks could kill, Hua Yi would probably be torn to pieces by now.
She grabbed the handkerchief, turned around, and left.
The handkerchief was embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks. She had deliberately left it in Xiao Qingyuan's room so that he would always remember her.
Unexpectedly, this painting brought it back!
She's so annoying, she always ruins her plans!
Mu Ge gritted her teeth and hurried back to her courtyard.
There were no maids in her courtyard, after all, she was nothing and the Prince's mansion would not provide her with maids. However, there was a rough old woman in the courtyard who was responsible for sweeping and cleaning, and everyone called her Ma Pozi.
As soon as she returned, she reluctantly slipped a small piece of silver into Granny Ma's hand and whispered, "Go and find out for me what the Crown Princess said to the Crown Prince that made him change his mind about taking me as a concubine."
Ma Pozi quickly put the loose silver into her waist pouch: "Miss, I can only try my best to ask, but I may not be able to find out anything about the Crown Princess. As you know, the Crown Princess is very strict in managing the household, and it's easy to make a mistake if you ask too much about her."
Mu Ge gritted her teeth and stuffed another piece of silver into her hand: "Old woman, you don't want to be a lowly maid for the rest of your life, do you? Doing the heaviest work and getting the least pay, haven't you ever thought about changing your life?"
"What do you mean by this, young lady?"
"What I mean is, as long as you help me gather information about the Prince's mansion and help me become the Prince's concubine, I will promote you to be my personal nanny!"
Ma Pozi's eyes lit up: "Is what you're saying true, young lady?!"
"Of course it is true. After all, I came to the Prince's mansion all alone, without even a close friend. You've been kind to me, so I'm naturally grateful."
As Mu Ge spoke, she took Ma Pozi's hand and said earnestly, "Once I become the prince's concubine, I will definitely be qualified to choose my own maids and nannies. At that time, I won't choose any other nannies, I'll choose you, Ma Pozi, and let you rise to the top in one step! You can enjoy the good life with me from now on!"
Ma Pozi was very excited: "Alright! With you saying that, young lady, I'll risk my worthless life to get you some useful information!"
After she finished speaking, she walked out with her chest out and head held high, as if she were already a respected matriarch.
It was evening.
Manager Wang, accompanied by two waiters, entered the side gate of Prince Ning's mansion.
Two waiters, each carrying two jars of wine, walked along the road, their rich aroma emanating from the jars, attracting the attention of the people in the Prince's mansion.
Upon arriving at Wutong Garden, Manager Wang distributed the wine from the jars for everyone to taste.
In the courtyard, everyone was enjoying their wine. Inside the house, Manager Wang asked in a low voice, "How did the Crown Princess learn of our Potian Pavilion's secret orders? Is she a confidante of one of the Pavilion Masters?"
There are four pavilion masters in total, each represented by one of the four cardinal directions. Each pavilion master's identity is extremely mysterious and cannot be seen by ordinary people. Even if they do see them, they cannot recognize them.
When Manager Wang received the secret order, he was greatly surprised. This was a secret order known only to the Pavilion Master! Could it be that the secret order had been leaked?
He didn't dare delay for a moment and immediately reported it. Only after receiving confirmation from his superiors that there were no problems with the secret order did he dare to come.
However, his superior was also unsure of the Crown Princess's relationship with the Pavilion Master, so he was asked to probe her a bit.
