Chapter 291: Fox
Spirit Pan Ting, the wife of the King of Xiang, sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the red eyes in it, and sighed with resentment!
"Miss, that concubine Jingru is a slut. She has been trained for many years by the etiquette nanny in the palace for nothing. Her skills in seducing men are even more shameless than those from brothels. I don't know why the Queen Concubine Xian gave her to the prince as a concubine, causing you to be sad and angry every day!" The maid Yuxiang looked very angry.
The maid Chenxiang was combing the princess' hair with a distressed look on her face, and she also echoed angrily, "The Concubine Xian has always been distant to our young lady, the Princess Xiang. I guess she has never felt sorry for the grievances that our young lady has suffered."
After hearing what the two personal maids said, Pan Ting's tears of grievance welled up in her eyes again, and she was about to cry, "I guess it's because I don't know how to please my mother. She has never treated me as a daughter-in-law. After my father was stripped of his title and dismissed from his post this time, our Pan family has lost power and can no longer be a help to them. Who would still take me seriously?"
Speaking of this, Yuxiang was even more angry, "If it weren't for them, the old man would have been so... How could a smart and wise person...do such stupid things?
Fortunately, His Highness the King of Qin was open-minded and kind, and did not punish the master to death, nor did he implicate other people in the Pan family. Otherwise, our Pan family..."
Seeing that the princess was extremely sad, Chenxiang stopped Yuxiang and said, "Yuxiang, stop talking, quickly wipe the lady's face with a handkerchief. "
The third prince Zhao Heng stepped through the door and saw the princess crying sadly. He hurriedly stepped forward, held her in his arms and coaxed her: "My beloved concubine, why are you sad again? Didn't I advise you? There will be no other changes in the Pan family. I will protect my father-in-law's family. "
Yu Xiang boldly retorted: "Princess, you are not sad because of your natal family, but because of that vixen in Meixiang Garden."
The third prince was embarrassed for a moment, and explained with a guilty conscience: "Princess, Jingru is a concubine given to me by your mother. I should give her the benefit of the doubt. She has just entered the house a few days ago, and I can't ignore her too much, right? We are a loving couple, loving and harmonious. You are not a jealous person, so why are you angry because of a concubine's sadness?"
These coaxing words made Pan Ting even more sad and aggrieved. She pushed the prince away angrily and sat up straight, "The prince was not a person who liked novelty and hated old things before, so I have never been jealous. The two of you When the concubine and three maids came in, I always treated them with a smile.
Now, my family has lost power, and the new maids were given by my mother. They monopolize the prince every night. How dare I be jealous, let alone angry! "
The third prince squatted down and wiped the tears of the princess with a handkerchief, "Ting'er, how can you think of me like this? We are a loving couple, and I will never let you down in this life." Blushing, he explained, "It's just that the maid Jingru given by my mother is a little interesting. I... my new maid hasn't had enough of her. She has been fascinated by her for a few days. Ting'er, I will stay here tonight and accompany you for a few more days, okay?"
"They are in love with each other, and their love is deep. They will never let each other down in this life." Pan Ting muttered these words and smiled sadly, "These words, perhaps only the Princess of Qin in the capital can truly enjoy them, right?"
The Third Prince's hand holding the handkerchief stopped in mid-air awkwardly, his face flushed with guilt. With the example of the loving couple of the Prince of Qin and his wife before him, these few sweet words to coax people were really hypocritical and shameless.
Chenxiang, who was standing aside, took the opportunity to add a few words leisurely, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is loyal to the Princess of Qin and vowed to never let her down in his life. The two concubines granted by the Emperor refused to marry him. The young ladies of Minister Luo and Minister Li cry heartbroken at home every day."
"Serves them right!" Yuxiang said angrily, "Who asked Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi to be so shameless that they framed and seduced the Prince of Qin with despicable means and insisted on getting close to him?"
The third prince was secretly accused by the two maids. He stood up in anger and shame, "Princess, the servants beside you should be properly disciplined!" He waved his sleeves and left with an unhappy look on his face.
The two maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They wanted to help the young lady vent her anger, but they angered the prince instead.
"Young lady... I've said too much!"
Princess Pan Ting of Xiang comforted them, "Don't blame you. It was that bitch Jingru who seduced him. Even if you had said a few more words to help me in the past, he would never have been so angry."
The third prince couldn't hold back his face. After the outburst of anger, he threw his sleeves and walked out of the Cuiyu Pavilion where the princess lived. His feet involuntarily walked towards Meixiang Garden.
Jingru was covered in a thin gauze dress, with a graceful figure, a hazy jade body, a slender waist, and a graceful and graceful figure. She came up to him with a beautiful smile.
: "Prince, you are here? Why do you look so unhappy? Which servant has made you angry? Just punish him and sell him. Your status as prince is extremely noble. You must establish your majesty. The imperial aura must be revealed at all times, and the pressure must be shocking at all times..."
The third prince's heart sank when he heard this!
The rippling eyes and the feeling of bone-softening soul disappeared immediately. He pulled away Jingru's slender hands that were hugging his arm, and his face turned cold!
: "Jingru, what do you mean by saying this? Did your mother ask you to teach me like this?"
Jingru's heart thumped, and she thought to herself that she was too impatient!
Her face changed, and the charming and coquettish smile immediately turned into a pitiful and tearful expression, "Prince, what are you talking about? I just hope that my man is a man who can stand tall and upright, sit high above the clouds and look down on the world, have lofty ambitions, and benefit the common people..."
"Stop talking!" The third prince interrupted her and looked her up and down, and his infatuation turned into cold disgust.
"Although I am a bit of a playboy, I am not someone who can be seduced by lust like you. You and my mother are trying to encourage my ambition to seize the throne, but you are just selfishly dreaming of the power of having a son.
I am a self-aware person. If I can succeed to the throne smoothly, I also want to sit on the throne and be supreme. But if you use countless bloodshed or conspiracy to compete with the King of Qin for the throne, I will never do it.
I would rather be a peaceful and wealthy prince than let a palace coup lead a bloody storm."
Jingru asked unwillingly: "Prince, , Aren’t you afraid that after the King of Qin takes the throne, he will get rid of you princes who threaten the throne?
Don’t you want to rule the world, show your ambitions, expand the territory, and achieve eternal hegemony?"
The third prince raised a sneer at the corner of his lips, "You and my mother are ambitious as women! As
an emperor, Zhao Defang, the King of Qin, will definitely be better than me, and better than any other prince.
As for whether the King of Qin will get rid of us princes after he ascends the throne, you and my mother underestimate him too much. He doesn't care at all, and he won't regard us princes as a threat, because the King of Qin has enough strength and confidence!"
Jingru bit her lower lip tightly, not knowing whether to use the beauty trick to beg for mercy, or to borrow the power of Concubine Li Xian to reprimand and suppress him. Which one would be beneficial to her future position in the Prince Xiang's Mansion?
"Come here, drive the concubine Jingru out of the palace and send her to her parents' home in the countryside!"
Jingru, who was still thinking about it, was scared to death after hearing this cold and ruthless words!
"Prince, please don't!..." Jingru knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, "Prince, please don't treat me like this! If I am driven out of the palace like this, how can I survive? My brother and sister-in-law in the countryside will sell me to a brothel. Prince
, please forgive me this time? I... No, I won't dare to do it again! From now on, I will just serve you well, and I won't dare to say anything more...."
The third prince was a sympathetic man. Seeing her crying pitifully, he softened his heart and said, "Give her three thousand taels of silver notes and let her open a small courtyard in the capital and do some small business to make a living!"
After that, he sighed, got up and left with an ugly face.
Jingru didn't dare to cry and bargain anymore. For her, this treatment was much better than being driven out of the palace and sent back to her parents' home in the countryside.
Three thousand taels of silver was not a small amount of money. The jewelry that Concubine Xian and Prince Xiang had given her in the past few days was worth seven or eight thousand taels. She could buy a small courtyard in the capital and open a shop to do business. The fool Princess Qin could make a lot of money by doing business. She, who was smart, could also make a lot of money by doing business. With her beauty, clever mind and eloquence, maybe she could even marry a son of a rich and powerful family as her son-in-law?
Jingru's ambitious desire rose again.
