Chapter 188 Strange Things Happen Frequently
Su Qianqian glanced at the door of the inner room, turned back and said with a smile:
"I came here to look for Yuzhuo, but I met the princess here, so I came in to see her. It is my honor to serve the princess, so I dare not take credit for it. However, it is indeed inappropriate for the princess to let people in when she is changing clothes."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Princess, I'm taking my leave." Su Qianqian bowed respectfully and left with Qin Yuzhuo.
"Brother Crown Prince, inside..." Princess Zhaoyang pointed to the inner room unwillingly...
When she walked out of the room, Su Qianqian found that the palace maid Huichun at the door was gone.
[Hehe, young lady, when this palace maid Huichun saw the Crown Prince and Madam Xiao coming in, she was so frightened that she didn't move at all. She was immediately taken down by the eunuchs around the Crown Prince. When they pushed her away, she stiffened her neck and couldn't move a step. She was kicked twice and dragged away...]
The system laughed unkindly.
[I really didn’t mean it, you can’t blame me...] Su Qianqian felt a little guilty.
[It is unlucky to be a personal maid to a princess, especially a stupid princess. If something goes wrong, you will definitely be the scapegoat.
The prince was merciful and allowed the person to be sent to the chief eunuch first. If the princess took the person back and then shirked responsibility, she would lose her head. 】
After Su Qianqian and Qin Yuzhuo left the courtyard, Qin Yuzhuo leaned close to Su Qianqian and whispered, "Third brother heard that you were coming in this direction to look for me, so he asked me to come pick you up. What's going on?"
"I saw the princess' maid rushing to the front yard. She spoke strangely, and I didn't know what happened. But strange things happened frequently today, so I came to look for you out of worry about you."
Su Qianqian explained calmly.
"When I met the princess, she said something strange, and even said that the Marquis was in the inner room. I was also surprised. How could the Marquis break into the princess's dressing room?"
Su Qianqian pretended not to know.
"I'm afraid the princess has taken the wrong medicine. She's always thinking about getting close to the third brother, just like her aunt..." Qin Yuzhuo whispered with contempt.
"Be careful with your words. Don't say such things again." Su Qianqian reminded seriously.
"I know, I won't say it again." Qin Yuzhuo quickly agreed.
"Where did you go just now? Why couldn't Zhou Jinxi and those ladies find you?" Su Qianqian asked as they walked.
"I'm just walking around..." Qin Yuzhuo was a little nervous and replied hesitantly.
"Don't walk around rashly. The Prime Minister's residence is not peaceful. I'm afraid something big is going to happen."
Su Qianqian was a little worried. In a place like the Prime Minister's Mansion, things that went against common sense happened one after another. It was really strange. Maybe it was really like the saying "When disaster strikes, calamity will arise"?
Back at the curved corridor, Su Xinxin was looking around anxiously. When she saw Su Qianqian coming back, she quickly stood up to greet her.
"What happened today? Princess Zhaoning's maid just went to look for Madam Xiao, and then I saw Prince Jing following her back. I wonder what happened again."
Su Xinxin said in a low voice, and then looked around the Prime Minister's Mansion, feeling weird everywhere.
[Lu Jun conspired with Princess Zhaoyang to extort money from the Marquis, but Princess Zhaoning took this opportunity to trip up Princess Zhaoyang and had someone open the nailed-on window at the back of the purification room, allowing the Marquis to jump out of the window and escape.
The funny thing is that Princess Zhaoning also used this method of hitting porcelain, but the result may not be satisfactory...】
As soon as the system got to this point, it saw several girls, led by Zhou Jinxi, running towards it quickly and gracefully, their faces filled with excited expressions as if they were eager to find someone to talk to.
These girls are all daughters of military commanders. Even if they don’t learn martial arts, they can’t escape the generosity of their families.
Zhou Jinxi caught Su Qianqian, the fifth lady of Xu Jinglue caught Qin Yuzhuo, and the fourth lady of Wuwei General's Mansion had to hold Su Xinxin's arm, her eyes shining as she spoke mysteriously and eagerly.
"Oh, Madam Hou, you will lose a lot if you don't go to watch the various operas..." Zhou Jinxi looked proud.
"Sister Yuzhuo, where have you been? You missed such a good show. Do you know what we saw?" Xu Jinglie's fifth daughter kept the secret.
"Madam, in front of everyone, Princess Zhaoning actually... Oh my, I can't say it out loud..."
The fifth young lady of the Wuwei General's Mansion made a shy expression...it was very incongruous.
"If you don't explain it nicely, we won't listen." Qin Yuzhuo was anxious, so he simply played hard to get. This trick worked very well, and several people hurriedly told him the truth.
"We went to look for you thinking you were watching a variety show, but when we didn't find you and were about to leave, you started performing a trick to make people disappear."
Xu Jinglue's fifth daughter spoke first, and several people automatically formed a circle, behaving a little furtively. Zhu Jiayi struggled to squeeze in.
"We sat down and looked. It was clearly a child and a little girl who were locked in a wooden box. Guess what happened?"
Zhou Jinxi raised his eyebrows mysteriously.
"Sister Zhou, please tell me, I'm so anxious..." Zhu Jiayi covered her stomach quietly. She didn't want to go to the toilet to eat the melon. She just wanted to hear the result and run away quickly.
"Let me tell you! In that open wooden cabinet, Princess Zhaoning was lying inside wearing only her underwear!"
The fourth young lady of the Wuwei General's Mansion hurriedly spoke out the key point, and then looked expectantly at the reactions of Su Qianqian and the other three.
As expected, there was no disappointment. Even Su Xinxin, who was usually calm, widened her eyes.
This is an unprecedented scandal in the royal family!
Although Princess Zhaoning's status was not as high as that of Empress Zhaoyang, she was also the only daughter of Imperial Concubine. How could the Emperor save his dignity if she appeared in the prop cabinet of a variety show in public wearing her underwear!
"Ah...Princess Zhaoning...Poof..." Zhu Jiayi screamed in surprise, followed by a strange sound. A foul smell floated in the air. Everyone was caught off guard and almost nauseated, so they quickly dispersed.
Zhu Jiayi smiled awkwardly: "No... I ate too many beans today...", not daring to delay any longer, and asked the maid to help her go back to guard the bathroom.
"What happened next?" Su Qianqian asked after the smell was no longer so strong.
"Those acrobatics artists naturally didn't recognize Princess Zhaoning. When they asked her who had entered the closet, she started to scream and curse. The artists were so scared that they knelt down and kowtowed. One of them was so timid that he fainted."
Xu Jinglie's fifth daughter lived up to her mother's inheritance. She ate the melon with relish and narrated the story vividly.
"Later, one of the ladies below ordered someone to invite her to His Royal Highness Prince Jing, and used a robe to cover Princess Zhaoning, and escorted her to change clothes."
Zhou Jinxi ended the story with a smile.
"King Jing has strictly ordered that this matter must not be spread outside. Do not tell anyone else. We are only telling you what we know because of our deep friendship with you. Remember this."
The fifth daughter of Xu Jinglie repeated her mother's words, and Su Qianqian felt that they sounded familiar.
Su Xinxin looked at Su Qianqian, and the two exchanged glances, becoming more vigilant and cautious.
After Zhu Jiayi came back, it was almost time, and everyone walked towards the banquet room in front. Su Qianqian looked back inadvertently, but saw a sedan chair carrying people hurriedly heading towards the second door, followed by Xue Dingzhou, who looked worried.
"Sister-in-law, where have you been? I've made it difficult for my sister to find you. I wonder if you are all satisfied with today's banquet?"
Xue Zhiqing stood on the steps of the banquet hall and asked condescendingly.
