How can my presence here be the same as yours? Shouldn't you be sleeping peacefully next door right now?
ah?
Didn't we say we couldn't live together during this period? What if this young man doesn't know his own strength in the night? That could be a matter of life and death!
"This old servant will speak with the Princess tomorrow, and the young master can go and explain to the Princess then."
There was nothing she could do; she was just a servant. It was best to leave the young master to the princess to handle.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
well.
"Please go back and rest, Your Highness."
Without much hesitation, Fu Hanlai lifted the bed curtains and slipped inside. "No thanks. I have to explain to my mother tomorrow anyway. I'll just rest here tonight and not go back."
He was going to get scolded tomorrow anyway, so why should he go back now? Shouldn't he just stay at Jiang Xuelin's place for now? He'd already been found out...
Granny Yao: "..."
They were truly helpless at their young master's reckless and self-destructive behavior. After all, he was already inside, and it wouldn't be good to have the servants drag him down.
The princess's initial concerns were indeed correct. She had previously thought that it was a bit much for the princess to have her guard the door, since the young master was no longer a child and shouldn't be so unreliable. However, she never expected that the princess truly understood her own son.
She's seen it all today.
However, I still made a deep grudge against it in my heart.
The next morning, Granny Yao went to Princess Ping's place and told her what had happened the night before. She didn't embellish the story and simply explained what had happened. Even so, Princess Ping was still furious.
"Look at the fine son the prince has!"
At this moment, Prince Ping had not yet left. When Princess Ping saw him come out, she immediately complained in an annoyed tone.
King Ping: "..."
The walnut he was spinning in his hand stopped abruptly. He glanced at Princess Ping and muttered something, but his voice was too soft for Princess Ping to hear.
"What did Your Highness say?"
"Ah Shou wasn't born to me, was he? Wasn't he born to you, Princess Consort?"
After saying this, Prince Ping left quickly before his wife could react, without even eating breakfast in the courtyard. "I have something to discuss with my elder brother, so I'll have breakfast with him today!"
Princess Ping: "..."
She'll be driven crazy by this father and son one day!
Yes, we need one more Lin'er!
I'll be driven crazy by those three sooner or later!
Who knows, there might be another one that'll drive her crazy soon!
Thinking of this, Princess Ping suddenly felt that she simply couldn't live like this anymore.
"Come, let's go take a look!"
"yes."
No one dared to offer any advice.
Fu Hanlai knew that Princess Ping would definitely come to see him today, so he had prepared early. However, he did not expect that Princess Ping would come directly instead of having someone call him over.
In short, when Princess Ping arrived, Fu Hanlai was having a meal of porridge. When he saw his mother enter with a gloomy face, he almost spat out the porridge in his mouth. He hurriedly stood up and bowed, "...Mother, what brings you here?"
Princess Ping ignored him and looked at Jiang Xuelin, who gave her a flattering smile.
"..."
What a terrible thing!
She's my mother-in-law, not my biological mother!
But even with that ingratiating smile, Princess Ping felt somewhat helpless and discouraged.
"Tell me, what happened?"
With Princess Ping keeping order, Fu Hanlai no longer dared to act the same way he had when facing Granny Yao. He obediently recounted what had happened.
"...My son is used to it. Why can't he be with Jiang Xuelin? My son isn't that kind of reckless person. I'm not convinced!"
"So, taking advantage of the nanny and the servant at the door not paying attention at night, the son climbed out of the window and then climbed back in here."
"...Wait until around 3 AM, when it's almost dawn, then turn it back."
Fortunately, Fu Hanlai still had some principles. He didn't reveal that Jiang Xue woke him up at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), nor did he reveal that his two personal servants knew he had climbed out of the window.
However, what Fu Hanlai didn't understand was that it was precisely because of him that Princess Ping was so wary of him. If he were a more composed person, Princess Ping wouldn't be so cautious.
Hearing his account, I was immediately filled with anger.
"What about when Lin'er gets up at night for a midnight snack?"
"...The son lay in the quilt without looking, and with the bed curtains covering him, no one could tell that something was wrong."
With his head down, Fu Han hesitated for a moment before choosing to tell the truth. If he continued to lie now, things wouldn't get so easily over.
Princess Ping: "..."
You're really something, making it sound like...cheating.
After listening to her own son's actions with a blank expression, Princess Ping trusted him even less.
“...From today onwards, you will stay in the front courtyard with your father at night.”
Fu Hanlai: "..."
Huh? So, Father was also kicked out?
What did Father do? Could it be that Father offended Mother, and I'm suffering the consequences as a result?
Princess Ping's meaning was clear: with Prince Ping watching over them, Fu Hanlai would definitely have no chance to escape. The father and son couldn't possibly conspire to escape together; if that were the case... ha!
At this moment, Prince Ping, who had already slipped away to the Empress Dowager's place and was dining with her and Emperor Xuande, sneezed violently.
Achoo!
"Sixth Brother, have you caught a chill?"
Although Prince Ping looked prosperous, he was actually in poor health. Upon seeing this, Emperor Xuande immediately became worried.
Upon hearing this, Prince Ping waved his hand repeatedly, "It's nothing. It must be that my brother's wife is thinking about him. I doubt my elder brother would understand this feeling."
Emperor Xuande: "..."
As if you have a wife, I have a very good relationship with the Empress too!
The Empress also misses me very much!
However, Emperor Xuande also knew in his heart that his relationship with the Empress was not as good as that with Prince Ping and Princess Ping, and he was not so unaware of this.
So it's really not easy for him to refute that.
Others would certainly not dare to say these things to his face, but King Ping's younger brother was different.
He's really daring.
If we don't want to cause another heart attack, let's end this topic.
When Prince Ping saw that Emperor Xuande did not continue speaking, he looked somewhat regretful. As for how uncertain he was, that's another story.
I offended the princess this morning, and I wonder if she's calmed down yet.
It must be the princess who is thinking about him.
Remember to bring back some little trinkets that the princess likes when you go out today.
Unfortunately, Prince Ping had no idea what he was about to encounter that night. His sneezing wasn't because his wife was thinking of him, but because his eldest son had once again slept with him.
That evening, Prince Ping returned to the courtyard gate with the trinkets he had bought for his wife, and was greeted by the smiling face of the nanny.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort said that from today until you return to the capital, you will live with the Prince so that you can cultivate your relationship. Recently, the two of you have spent less time together, and the Princess Consort feels sorry for you."
King Ping: "..."
That brat has his own wife!
What kind of relationship are we cultivating?
