Chapter 148

When Xia Lu's personal maid saw someone coming, she hurried out to greet her. When she saw it was Xia Xue, she quickly bowed.

"The master has gone to Yangxin Palace to help!" said the maid.

"It's okay, let's not look for her first, let's go find some clothes." Xia Xue waved her hands.

The maid opened her mouth and hurriedly led Xia Xue and Fu Yuqing to the inner room.

They don’t know about other things, but they know in their hearts that their master is very close to this sister.

Xia Xue originally had something to tell Xia Lu, so she quickly found a few pieces of clothing and asked Fu Yuqing to try on.

The quality of makeup rouge and powder in this era is really not that good. Fu Yuqing looked a little dishevelled when she just came out of the water, and she looks even more dishevelled now. Not only is her entire makeup ruined, but it's also all over her face. It's a terrible sight.

Xia Xue took a look and burst out laughing.

Fu Yuqing knew that she must be very fierce now, but when she came in front of the bronze mirror, she was speechless.

"I must develop a waterproof cosmetic!" Fu Yuqing vowed.

Xia Xue: ...

I am impressed that you can think of business opportunities in any situation!

The maid was very smart and fetched a bucket of hot water.

Fu Yuqing:?

The maids in the palace are different. They are more thoughtful than the maids in other places. I unconsciously looked at the maid again.

I'll ask Xia Lu for it when I have time.

The two people who were busy here didn't know that something big was about to happen on the other side.

Guiqin and several maids were standing guard nearby. Princess Xian had a gloomy face and stared coldly at Prince Bo.

Prince Bo bowed and said nothing, and the mother and son remained in a stalemate.

After an unknown amount of time, Princess Hyun sighed and said, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Prince Bo lowered his head and asked, "I wonder what mother is referring to?"

"What did you say? You're still pretending in front of me!!!" Princess Hyun's voice rose an octave.

Prince Bo still kept his head down and did not answer.

"Well, now you've grown up and become independent, so you don't listen to your mother anymore, right?" Princess Hyun glared.

"I have always respected and honored my mother. I don't know where your words came from."

"You want to piss me off to death, don't you? For so many years, your mother has worked hard to raise you, and you have always been asked to endure it. Now you have endured it for so many years, and just for that woman, you exposed yourself. Are you worthy of your mother, and are you worthy of your dead father?" Princess Xian gritted her teeth with shaking hands.

"You have been claiming that your son is in poor health and you don't want him to be an official in the court. I have listened to you. However, it is not shameful that I know martial arts, and it has nothing to do with my deceased father. Mother, please don't mention my deceased father all the time. It is unfair to me and disrespectful to my father!" Prince Bo still did not raise his head, but every word he said was precious.

"Don't you know how your father died? Can you feel at ease working for your enemy? Instead of remembering the hatred every day, it is better to stay away from them. Don't you understand such a simple truth?" Princess Hyun's voice began to tremble.

"There are many theories about my father's death. I also sent people to investigate for a long time, but there is no evidence to indicate that my father was murdered. Moreover, so many years have passed. Many things do not have to be engraved in your mind forever. Doing so will only add to your pain. I have studied hard for so many years, just thinking about doing something for the people. Because my mother did not allow it, I have been living a life of idleness. But that girl just now had positive energy. She pulled me back from the brink of despair. She is very important to me, and I cannot just watch her get killed!" When Prince Bo mentioned Fu Yuqing, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"She is just a merchant, how can she be worthy of you!" Princess Xian shouted angrily.

"What's wrong with Shang Jia? Isn't Shang Jia a human being? She opened a school, ran a clothing agency, and took in homeless children. She has done so many good things for the people. How can these be compared to those Miss Li and Miss Hu?" Prince Bo said sarcastically.

"I don't care how much she has done. Just because she has no background, she is not worthy of you!" Princess Xian said coldly.

Prince Bo smiled softly, "Mother arranges everything for her son, and she has to interfere with his marriage? Since she is not going to serve as an official, what is the point of her marrying a daughter-in-law with a good family background?"

Princess Hyeon opened her mouth, but for a moment she was unable to speak.

Isn't marriage supposed to be arranged by parents and matchmakers? Isn't it supposed to be about finding a suitable in-law? How come the son who always listened to her is now so disobedient to her? What kind of medicine did that woman give him just now?

The two were silent for a while, and Princess Xian sighed, "Perhaps in these years, I have never walked out of the shadow of your father's death, so my way of education has always added my own hatred, and I have ignored your feelings over the years. Today's incident is also a good thing. Wei Chongyuan was obviously framed. There are naturally many spies in this palace. Since many people already know that you can fight, if the emperor extends an olive branch to you again, I will no longer stop it."

Prince Bo was surprised, "Mother has agreed to let her son serve as an official in the court."

"Yes!" Princess Xian affirmed. Given today's situation, they might have made an unknown enemy. Even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't. Why not let their son be happy and then have a good talk with him about his marriage.

This is the idea of ​​Queen Hyeon.

Prince Bo's eyes flashed with surprise, "Thank you, mother." But then Prince Bo's face darkened again, "Does mother have any other conditions?"

Her mother had been calculating since she was young. Since she had extended an olive branch to him, there must be other additional conditions.

"Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes? Do you have to negotiate conditions for everything?" Princess Xian asked back.

In her heart, she wanted him to break up with that girl, but her son was grown up now, and using his entry into the court to threaten him would inevitably hurt the relationship between mother and son. This matter could be dealt with slowly. She had raised a son of this age, and he had many weaknesses. She had many ways to make him break up with that girl.

"That's not what I meant." Prince Bo lowered his head again, wondering what he would do if his mother mentioned Fu Yuqing. In his heart, he really liked Fu Yuqing.

"As for that girl just now, I have no objection to your dating her, but you also know that if you really serve as an official in the court, you will still need some support. Just wait and see. If you really like her, I will not object to marrying her as a concubine or something. But she is the legitimate Princess of Bo County, so I hope you can be cautious. After all, you are the only son of our Xianwang Mansion. After your father passed away, our family has been getting worse and worse. I also don't want your father's accumulation of so many years to be destroyed in my hands. So I will not force you on this matter. I hope you can consider it carefully." Princess Xian spoke softly, explaining things to her with both reason and emotion.

Prince Bo frowned and said after a while, "My son will consider it carefully."

Fu Yuqing's sunny smile could not help but come to my mind, and I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.
