Granny Li knew very well that she had thrived in the Prince's mansion because of the Prince's dependence on her, and she couldn't let some Sister Jin take away her position.
Although it's said to be a temporary stay, who knows if they're using this as a stepping stone to stay at the Prince's residence?
After all, working in the Regent's Palace is not much better than being some kind of doctor outside.
Granny Li understood that she was nothing more than a servant and could not interfere with her master's decisions, but Princess Fengxi was different.
With Princess Fengxi's methods, she'd like to see if that female doctor can still enter the Prince's mansion!
She had heard that the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices had only glanced at Xiao Yanchu a couple of times when she encountered bandits while going out of the city to offer incense and was blinded.
The Dali Temple investigated for three days and finally arrested several bandits, thus closing the case.
In the elite circles of the capital, no one could have guessed that it was Princess Fengxi who did this.
However, due to the power of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices had no choice but to swallow his anger.
From then on, women from ordinary official families in the capital would keep their distance from princes, fearing that they might bring undeserved disaster upon themselves and their families.
......
When Wei Yingshuang arrived at Yunqi Courtyard, she smiled and said to Hu Qing, who stopped her, "Guard Hu, I have already spoken with the young prince and we will take him out for a walk tomorrow. The young prince has agreed. I have come to tell the prince and would appreciate it if you could inform him."
Hu Qing looked on with suspicion. Although his young master's health had improved and he was willing to try to interact with outsiders, he was not yet willing to go out with Princess Fengxi.
But since it concerned the young prince, he dared not be negligent: "Please wait a moment, Princess." He turned and went into the room.
A triumphant smile flashed in Wei Yinshuang's eyes.
She knew that Xiao Yanchu would definitely meet with her whenever the young prince was involved.
"Wei Yingshuang is taking Yi'er out?" Xiao Yanchu put down the memorial in his hand.
"Yes, Princess Fengxi said that the young master has already agreed," Hu Qing reported truthfully.
"Let Princess Fengxi in, and then have Granny Li bring Yi'er over."
"Yes." Hu Qing accepted the order and went to carry it out.
Wei Yingshuang entered the study, bowed gracefully to Xiao Yanchu, and said in a voice so soft it could melt water: "Shuang'er greets Brother Yanchu."
Xiao Yanchu raised his eyelids and said coldly, "Princess Fengxi, I am not your brother. If you still can't tell the difference between us, I don't mind having the Duke of Dingguo teach you properly."
Wei Yingshuang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head: "It was Shuang'er who was impolite. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"You said Yi'er is willing to go out with you?" Xiao Yanchu asked directly.
“Yes, Shuang’er just went to Yunji Courtyard to visit the young master. The weather has been nice lately, so I thought I’d take him out for a walk,” Wei Ying Shuang hurriedly explained.
"Who gave you permission to see the Crown Prince without my permission?" Xiao Yanchu's voice suddenly turned cold.
Wei Yingshuang was so frightened that she immediately knelt down: "Your Highness, please calm down. Shuang'er did not go to Yunji Courtyard on purpose. Today, Shuang'er went to the manor to visit Consort Jiang. When I passed by Yunji Courtyard, I happened to see the young prince practicing swordsmanship, so I said a few more words. Please calm down, Your Highness."
Wei Yingshuang wasn't worried about being exposed by Xiao Yanchu at all. The way to Yilan Courtyard was to pass by Yunji Courtyard anyway. That little fool couldn't speak, so Granny Li certainly wouldn't betray her, otherwise she would be punished herself.
Just as Wei Yinshuang had predicted, the clever Li Mama who arrived later said that the princess had encountered the prince by chance.
On the way here, Granny Li whispered to Xiao Bao that if he went out of the manor with Princess Fengxi, he would meet Sister Jin.
"Yi'er, are you willing to go out with the princess?" Xiao Yanchu asked.
