Chapter 1033 Be Thick-skinned
Madam Cheng originally wanted to discuss this matter with Xiao Lanyuan when he came back.
Taking Princess Fuyun with us is actually not a trivial matter. We have to ensure the princess's safety, right?
She definitely can't do this on her own, she also needs Xiao Lanyuan's help.
But she waited until late at night, and everyone was sleepy, but Xiao Lanyuan still hadn't come back.
"Luguo, go to Youningyuan and ask why the prince hasn't come back yet? Nothing happened, right?"
"yes."
Lu Guo hurriedly went to Youning Courtyard with a lantern, but was stopped by the secret guards as soon as she reached the gate.
"do what?"
"I'm Lu Guo, who is beside the Madam. I'm here to ask if the Prince has gone to bed. Our Madam has something to discuss with the Prince."
"The prince has not returned yet, let's go back." The secret guard said expressionlessly.
"Where did the prince go?" Lu Guo asked again.
The secret guard did not answer, but just glanced at her without any expression.
Is this something she can ask? Where the prince goes has nothing to do with her.
"Can you send a letter to the prince? Ask him to come back?"
"No. Please go back." The secret guard said again without any expression.
Who could have asked their secret guards to pass a message to the master and call him back? They were just guests, how could they think they were the masters of the palace?
Do you really think of yourself as the prince's elder?
As a guest, you are totally unqualified. Does Mrs. Cheng really not know this?
Lu Guo did not dare to argue with the secret guard who was very good at martial arts and had no expression on his face, so she turned around and left helplessly.
Returning to the guest house, meeting Madam Cheng's gaze, Lu Guo pursed her lips and said, "Madam, the prince has not returned yet."
"It's so late and he hasn't come back yet?" Madam Cheng was stunned for a moment, very surprised, "Shouldn't the people in the palace go to look for him?"
"I just wanted to ask them to go find the prince, and preferably ask him to return to the palace, but the guards wouldn't listen to me, madam. I said they wouldn't even send a letter."
Lu Guo felt a little indignant.
"Okay, he should be staying at the Fu family."
Mrs. Cheng sighed softly, knowing that she couldn't let Luguo continue complaining like this.
"How can he still stay at the Fu family? He is the dignified Prince Jun, and he lives in the capital city. There is such a huge palace here. Why does he want to stay in the shabby old house of the Fu family? How can the prince get used to living there?"
Lu Guo really felt sorry for Xiao Lanyuan. Why didn't he live in the palace and had to squeeze into the Fu family?
"Madam, do you think the princess did this on purpose?" Lu Guo asked again in a low voice.
Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant. "What do you mean by intentional?"
"I knew that Madam was here, and I was afraid that Madam would say something to the prince after he came back, so I deliberately played a trick and kept the prince in the Fu family, just because I didn't want Madam to have the opportunity to say anything to the prince again."
Lu Guo curled her lips. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. "Doing this is also equivalent to doing it for Madam to see, a provocation and demonstration, to let Madam know that she is the most important to the prince. The prince will stay with her, listen to her, and will not come back to accompany Madam."
"I can't?"
Mrs. Cheng shook her head, thinking that Fu Zhaoning would not think so.
"Why not?" Lu Guo was convinced of her guess. "Madam, think about it. We are leaving for Youqing Peak tomorrow. Logically, shouldn't they return to the palace tonight? There are some things that have not been packed yet and we can't miss them. We don't have to travel such a long distance tomorrow."
Lu Guo said, "Besides, the Madam is in the palace. No matter how much she treats you as a family member, it's not right to leave you here like this, right? She has to come back to accompany her for a while. Where is the etiquette? So in my opinion, the princess did it on purpose."
Mrs. Cheng had not thought in this direction originally, but after hearing what Lu Guo said, she was convinced, because it sounded quite reasonable.
"Forget it. After all, they are husband and wife. Husband and wife are the closest to each other. I can't always cause trouble for Yuan. It's better than anything else if they can have a good relationship."
Lu Guo looked at Madam Cheng. That's what she said, but did she really think so? She must be feeling very uncomfortable right now.
"Madam, if we take the princess with us tomorrow, we won't have a chance to discuss this with the prince, right?"
"Take a rest. We can only talk about it tomorrow."
Madam Cheng didn't know what to say at the moment, so she could only wait for Xiao Lanyuan to come back tomorrow.
She went to bed unhappy.
The next day, Mrs. Cheng also got up early.
Unexpectedly, just after she finished washing up, she heard the servants say that Princess Fuyun had arrived.
"You're here so early?"
Princess Fuyun brought six guards and two palace maids with her, which were all assigned to her by Emperor Zhao. She didn't want to bring them with her, but she really didn't dare to rely entirely on Madam Cheng and Xiao Lanyuan.
What if something really happens and Prince Jun doesn't care about her?
Besides, after Chenxiang's death, she really couldn't get used to not having palace maids to serve her.
The person was brought, but the carriage did not come, so she had someone carry a box over and prepared to ride in the same carriage with Mrs. Cheng.
Madam Cheng is now in a difficult situation. Even if Xiao Lanyuan disagrees, it is not convenient for her to abandon Princess Fuyun.
With Princess Fuyun holding her arm and praising her softly, Madam Cheng could not refuse.
Prince Jun's Mansion didn't care about anything and still arranged a sumptuous and exquisite breakfast. Princess Fuyun had arrived so early and hadn't eaten yet, so she naturally ate with them.
After breakfast, she asked Mrs. Cheng which carriage she was taking, and took the initiative to ask someone to bring her boxes and some snacks to the carriage and put them away.
"Why haven't the prince and princess come back yet?" Madam Cheng waited for a long time, and when the sun was already setting, Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Zhaoning still hadn't come back.
Hong Zhuo said, "Madam, we have sent a carriage to pick up the prince and princess. They will not return to the palace, but will go directly out of the city. Madam, you can set off now. The prince will be waiting at the city gate."
"Already out of town?"
Mrs. Cheng was shocked and quickly asked everyone to set off.
She never expected that Xiao Lanyuan didn't even return to the palace.
Only after she got on the carriage and it sped through the streets of the capital and out of the city gate did Princess Fuyun secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
As expected, she was right to listen to Yuan Yi.
If you want to successfully follow Mrs. Cheng, you have to be thick-skinned, proactive and positive, so that people don't even have the time to refuse you.
She couldn't do such a persistent thing before, but now after going through so much, she can.
"Aunt Cheng, Prince Jun and the others will be waiting for us, right?" she asked Mrs. Cheng.
"It should be possible. Didn't Hong Zhuo say that she would be waiting outside the city gate?" Mrs. Cheng said so, but she still couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car to look out.
She was also worried that Xiao Lanyuan hadn't waited for them.
