Chapter 132 Concubine Hua comes in person
A somewhat sharp voice followed, "I have made it very clear. I am here to invite Princess Chen on the orders of the Imperial Concubine in the palace. This is a very important and urgent matter.
If anything goes wrong, all of you will lose your heads. How dare you, a lowly shopkeeper, stop me from seeing Princess Chen?
You are so brave! If something really happens, you won’t have enough heads to chop off! ”
The shopkeeper was not frightened by him, but argued even more: "Unless it is an imperial decree, anyone who comes to our princess for help, even the eldest princess, must follow the rules.
You were sent by the imperial concubine in the palace, so you should abide by the rules. Besides, there is no such attitude in the world for asking others to do things! ”
What a joke! You want to use power to suppress others? The thing their princess fears least is power.
I didn't expect that the eunuch named Eunuch An was just a small shopkeeper, but he was so stubborn and refused to respond to any persuasion.
He originally thought that he was Concubine Hua's man, Prince Qi's man, and both of them were princes, but he still wanted to use Qiao to suppress Prince Chen.
Use your aura to overwhelm her at the beginning, and then when you successfully meet Princess Chen later, you can make her more cooperative.
I didn't expect to hit a wall as soon as I arrived.
Just when the situation outside was at a stalemate, the door of the medicine room creaked open from the inside, and Wen Ling, smelling of medicine, walked out.
Wen Ling patted the herbal shavings on her sleeves and said to Eunuch An, who was standing at the door and had not yet had time to smile, "I don't think Concubine Hua told you to come with this attitude when she asked you to come.
Your attitude makes me feel very uncomfortable and offended. Maybe the Imperial Concubine is not really asking for my help.
Please just go back and report back, and say that you are tired today and we can talk about it tomorrow. And please let your King Qi stay up a little longer. ”
As soon as Wen Ling finished speaking, Eunuch An's expression changed completely.
He had just arrived and hadn't said anything yet, but Wen Ling already knew that it was Concubine Hua who sent him because of the King of Qi.
Eunuch An had cold sweat on his forehead. He was beginning to feel scared for the act he had just taken on his own initiative.
If Wen Ling wasn't invited back because of him, Concubine Hua would definitely skin him alive!
The flexible eunuch An immediately bowed and apologized, even slapping himself in the face: "I was wrong, it's my bad attitude, it's all my fault. Our Imperial Concubine is sincerely asking for your help, please..."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Ling stretched and walked out.
"Adao, today I made twice as much calming tea as before. Don't chase me around asking me for calming tea every day!"
"And the four packets sitting there are the beauty tea I just developed today. Send someone to deliver it to the place where your name is written.
I made too much tea today and I'm hungry. I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner. Let's go. ”
The shopkeeper immediately responded: "Okay, boss, you've worked hard. Go back and have dinner and rest early. Leave the things to me, don't worry!"
Then the shopkeeper escorted Wen Ling all the way to the backyard of the Wanshiwu and left in a carriage from the backyard.
Eunuch Liu'an was dumbfounded in the store. No, before he came here, he had never heard that the Princess Chen was so difficult to talk to.
This personality is really different from those ladies in the capital. She really doesn't leave any room for maneuver!
When Wen Ling went home for dinner, Gu Chenran was already there.
She came back early today and found Gu Chenran trying the prepared dishes one by one. If he found something that didn't taste good, he would frown and ask someone to take the dish away.
Only then did Wen Ling realize that the reason she only ate the dishes she liked at the dinner table was because Gu Chenran had selected them in advance.
This dedication is truly... a very qualified partner.
Seeing that Wen Ling came home early today, Gu Chenran asked curiously, "Why did you come back so early today? Didn't your boss pester you to make more calming tea?"
It turned out that he knew everything she did in the Wanshi Room.
Wen Ling then told him how her cultivation level had improved and she could make calming tea faster, as well as what happened after Eunuch An came to visit.
When he heard that Wen Ling had left Eunuch An alone in the Wanshiwu, Gu Chenran laughed out loud: "Those eunuchs, who can get close to the master and take charge of things, are all old-timers. They all think they can figure out the master's mind, flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, have two faces, and know how to judge people by their status and flatter them.
He probably didn't expect that you would really not give face to Concubine Hua behind him.
You are targeting him for not giving him face, otherwise he will act arrogantly towards you later. You don't need to take these low-class people seriously at all. ”
Wen Ling wanted to applaud Gu Chenran: "You really use idioms in a very appropriate way. You really have a good grasp of people's hearts."
Gu Chenran reached out and tapped Wen Ling's forehead gently: "I was just worried that you would be bullied by those ignorant people outside without knowing it, and you actually teased me."
Wen Ling smiled: "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness, but I didn't think too much about it. I just thought it was very simple. Since you asked me for help, you should at least make me feel comfortable and show me your sincerity.
For example, in the matter of the King of Qi, they asked me for help with such a troublesome matter but still had this kind of attitude. Who is really pampering them? ”
Gu Chenran couldn't help laughing. He felt that he was really overthinking it. With Wen Ling's straightforward and frank personality, anyone who could make her feel wronged in a sarcastic way would be shut up by her mouth.
The two sat down and began to eat. As expected, all the dishes on the table were to Wen Ling's liking.
Moreover, her favorite dishes from yesterday were left behind, and the rest were new dishes with different styles and the combinations were very reasonable.
We had just finished dinner when it was completely dark outside.
Just when Wen Ling was about to see the results of Gu Chenran's study of metaphysics, the housekeeper came in and reported that an important figure seemed to have come outside. He came from the palace and was still sitting in the carriage and did not get out. He just handed out this visiting card.
Gu Chenran took it, opened it, and looked at Wen Ling: "It turned out that Concubine Hua came in person."
Wen Ling raised an eyebrow: "You're here so soon? I thought you would come tomorrow."
Gu Chenran: "It seems that the situation of the King of Qi is very dangerous. Otherwise, as a concubine, Concubine Hua needs to make various arrangements to leave the palace, which is not such a simple matter."
That's true. A concubine, even if she is the queen, is not allowed to leave the palace at will.
Concubine Hua must be very anxious this time.
Wen Ling did not put on airs with Qiao anymore and said to the housekeeper, "Hurry up and let the imperial concubine come in."
