Chapter 201 He'er stays, you can go
Princess Hengyang gave the order, and Yun Wantang and Xiao Qinghe were quickly brought to the main courtyard.
Seeing Princess Hengyang and Chunxi sitting together, both of them looked surprised.
Princess Hengyang was of noble status, and many people went to the princess's mansion to please her, so she rarely visited other people's homes.
The fact that she appears here shows that she really likes Chunxi.
Yun Wantang quickly calmed down her surprise. While analyzing the situation in her mind, she and Xiao Qinghe bowed together, "Your Highness greets the Princess."
"He'er, come here quickly and let me take a look. Why do I feel like you seem to have lost weight again, and your eyes are still so dark? Have you not eaten or slept well these days?"
Princess Hengyang waved her hand and showed great concern for Xiao Qinghe.
Xiao Qinghe shook her head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I'm doing fine."
"You look so haggard, what's the good of that?" Princess Hengyang scolded, and immediately sent for the finest bird's nest and other supplements. "You are still young, you must take good care of yourself. When you get older, you must not become like your aunt."
“…”
Chunxi originally felt that it was awkward for Yun Wantang to be left aside, but after hearing what Princess Hengyang said, she silently put away her sympathy.
Actually, it’s nice to be ignored by the princess.
Chunxi was worried about Yun Wantang, but Yun Wantang remained calm.
She looked calm as she quietly watched the princess chatting with Xiao Qinghe, without any sign of dissatisfaction or grievance at being ignored.
After an unknown amount of time, Princess Hengyang finally gave Yun Wantang enough time to relax. She then turned to Yun Wantang and asked, "Madam, why don't you say anything after coming all the way here?"
"Without the princess's permission, I dare not speak freely."
Yun Wantang was respectful and didn't seem to feel any resentment or dissatisfaction at being asked to kneel in public that night.
Princess Hengyang raised her eyebrows and said, "Madam, you sound so overbearing. This isn't the Princess's residence. How can I stop you from speaking?"
Yun Wantang immediately admitted her mistake and said she had spoken out of turn. Xiao Qinghe spoke at the right time: "Princess, I am here to apologize to my aunt today."
Yun Wantang asked his servants to give Chunxi all the apology gifts he had prepared.
"Mrs. Shen must have been injured that night while protecting the princess. Here are some wound medicine and scar cream I asked someone to buy at Huichun Hall, as well as some nourishing supplements. I hope Mrs. Shen doesn't mind."
Yun Wantang's tone was sincere and his expression was serious, but Chunxi felt a little guilty when he heard it.
She did rush forward to protect the princess, but those ladies from aristocratic families were all pampered and were no match for her. What's more, she was too drunk and didn't hold back when she attacked.
Although she was pinched a few times by someone during the chaos, she didn't suffer any harm at all. In addition, Princess Hengyang also brought medicine from the palace to apply on her these two days.
After thinking for a moment, Chunxi wanted to refuse, but Princess Hengyang persuaded her first: "They have specially delivered it to your door, so just accept it. Didn't you just tell me that your waist hurt?"
Chunxi swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. The princess said her waist hurt, so she really had a waist pain.
After Chunxi accepted the apology, Princess Hengyang immediately ordered them to leave: "I still have something to say to He'er. If you have nothing else to say, Madam, you can leave."
This is very merciless.
Yun Wantang glanced at Xiao Qinghe, then politely said goodbye and left.
After she left, Princess Hengyang looked at Xiao Qinghe with interest: "I thought He'er would plead for her, or get up and leave with her."
"Although I call her aunt, I haven't spent much time with her. The princess doesn't want to see her, and I can't force her. Besides, the princess isn't angry with me because of aunt, and she's willing to let me stay. I absolutely shouldn't refuse the princess's kindness."
Xiao Qinghe was very clear-headed. Princess Hengyang smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will be unhappy if she finds out about this?"
"Although I am a wife of the Wei family, my surname is still Xiao. The Xiao family taught me a lot, but they never taught me to live at the mercy of others."
When saying this, Xiao Qinghe's expression was calm, his back was straight, and although his body was weak, he perfectly embodied the character of the Xiao family.
"Well said!" Princess Hengyang laughed heartily. "Before, I thought you were too conventional and boring, but now I think you're quite a wonderful person. Come, bring some wine. I'm going to drink three hundred cups today."
It is said that true friends are hard to find, and now she has met two at once, which is really great.
Chunxi was getting a headache just hearing about alcohol, so she quickly tried to dissuade him: "My injuries haven't healed yet, so let's not drink today. Besides, He'er can't drink much either, so let's have tea."
Chunxi kept winking at Xiao Qinghe, and Xiao Qinghe agreed with a narrowed eyebrow: "Yes, I am not a good drinker. Princess, why don't you take this opportunity to taste my cooking skills."
The two sang in unison. Princess Hengyang rolled her eyes and nodded, saying, "Tea is fine, but we'll have to find someone else to help cheer us up."
Princess Hengyang waved her hand and whispered a few words in the maid's ear. The maid left, and not long after, seven or eight handsome musicians walked into the mansion in a dignified manner.
“Ahem!”
Chunxi choked on her own saliva. Before she could recover from her shock, she heard Princess Hengyang exclaim, "You bastard, why are you here?"
Dog thing?
She seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
While Chunxi was thinking, she carefully looked at the faces of the musicians, and soon she saw the prince consort who was so handsome that he overwhelmed everyone else. Xiao Qinghe also knew the prince consort, and her hand that was making tea trembled.
Wen Yanshu was wearing a plain sky-blue brocade robe today, his black hair was tied with a headband of the same color, and he held an emerald green jade flute in his hand. He looked as plain as a bamboo, and his delicate facial features were even more prominent and eye-catching.
Wen Yanshu didn't think it was shameful for him to be among the zither players. He spoke frankly, "I have something to say to the princess in person, but she is hiding and refusing to see me. I can only come here to perform, hoping to win her smile and a chance to speak."
“…”
Should they avoid this situation?
Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe exchanged a glance and reached a consensus. Just as they were about to leave, Princess Hengyang spoke first, "Very good. I heard that your Highness was very good at music in his time. I haven't heard him in all these years. Ah Xi, He'er, you two should come and appreciate his music with me."
"Princess, this doesn't seem right..."
Chunxi tried to persuade him, and Xiao Qinghe nodded and wanted to speak, but the prince consort twisted his slender fingers and brought the flute to his lips and started to play.
The clear sound of the flute, like a spring, instantly spread out. Coincidentally, a wind blew, and the prince consort's black hair and clothes were blown wildly. For a moment, all the colors of the world seemed to converge on him alone.
Everyone was shocked by this scene and was speechless. Chunxi couldn't help but shout in his heart.
Fortunately, this man is the prince consort. If he were the leader of Wuyou Pavilion, who in the whole of Hanjing could uphold the so-called virtues of a wife?
Everyone was captivated by the prince consort's stunning looks and superb musical skills, but Yun Wantang had a gloomy face as he sat in the carriage on his way home.
She thought that after returning to Beijing, she could continue to use Princess Hengyang to raise her own status, and quickly establish good relationships with those ladies from aristocratic families to gain a firm foothold. However, she did not expect that she would fall into a disadvantage before she even started to show her ability.
Sister is right, Cao Chunxi is indeed a disaster!
