Chapter 304 Sold Out Again
As soon as Yue'er started crying, she immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers. Yun Wantang protected Yue'er, knelt down, and kowtowed for mercy.
Everyone didn't know what was going on and thought that Princess Hengyang was deliberately making things difficult for a child because of Yun Wantang.
Yue'er was not well-behaved when she cried, and the sound was very irritating to Princess Hengyang. In addition, Yun Wantang's kowtow made Princess Hengyang very annoyed.
She just couldn't help crying because she was sad at the thought of giving birth to a son, and she didn't mean to blame Yue'er. What did Yun Wantang mean by kneeling down and kowtowing?
Does she look cruel, the kind of person who would get angry even if a child said something wrong?
Feeling wronged, Princess Hengyang cried even harder.
The prince consort arrived in time and took Princess Hengyang into his arms. Chunxi quickly explained the whole story.
After hearing this, Wen Yanshu ordered someone to help Yun Wantang up, and then explained to the onlookers, "The princess just accidentally got something in her eye. It's nothing serious, and I don't mean to blame anyone."
As soon as Wen Yanshu opened his mouth, the servants of the princess's mansion immediately followed to help clarify.
Wen Yanshu then looked at Yun Wantang and said, "Children are ignorant and it's normal for them to be frightened. What does it mean for Madam Li to kneel down and beg for mercy without any reason?"
Wen Yanshu's expression and tone were very bad. Yun Wantang hugged Yue'er and softly explained, "Please forgive me, Prince Consort. The princess is crying because of my daughter. The princess is pregnant now and can't make any mistakes. I was just scared..."
"What are you afraid of? Although my princess doesn't like Madam, she gave Madam's daughter an oriental pearl during the last banquet at the Grand Tutor's Mansion. This shows that the princess is broad-minded and doesn't have any prejudice against your daughter just because of Madam. Madam has always had a good reputation, but could she be so petty and judgmental?"
Wen Yanshu directly interrupted Yun Wantang and told her about Dongzhu.
The production of Dongzhu is extremely small, and a small one is worth hundreds of taels. The Dongzhu supplied to the royal family are of superior quality and even more valuable. Princess Hengyang rewarded Yue'er with the Dongzhu, which shows that she really likes this child.
Princess Hengyang was not angry, so it was not appropriate for Yun Wantang to kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.
Feeling everyone's gazes, Yun Wantang's heart sank. However, before she could explain, Wen Yanshu continued to ask, "What exactly did Madam Li's daughter say to the princess just now?"
Yue Er had stopped crying and replied softly, "I didn't say anything else. I just said that the little brother in the princess's belly was moving."
Wen Yanshu pressed on: "Why would you say such a thing? Can you see it?"
Facing Yue'er, Wen Yanshu's tone was still serious.
Yue'er had never met an adult who was so mean to her before, and she was so scared that she hid in Yun Wantang's arms.
Of course, she couldn't see whether the princess was carrying a sister or a brother in her belly. Her mother taught her to say that. In the past, when she said that, those pregnant women would like her very much.
But if it is someone her mother doesn't like, she will deliberately say that the other person is pregnant with her younger sister.
"Prince Consort, Yue'er means well."
Yun Wantang made an argument, but Wen Yanshu didn't care whether Yue'er meant well or ill, and only focused on one point: "So, Madam, does your daughter see things that ordinary people can't see?"
“…”
Yun Wantang didn't dare to respond.
Of course, she could lie to get away with it now, but such a lie would be too easy to be exposed and would cause a lot of trouble.
Wen Yanshu's expression grew even colder. He spoke aloud, "The princess and I have been married for many years and finally have a child. Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, the princess and I are eagerly awaiting his arrival. We will do our utmost to love and care for him. Madam Li's daughter doesn't have any special abilities, so you shouldn't fabricate them and cause trouble for others."
Although Yue'er couldn't fully understand what Wen Yanshu said, she knew that he was blaming her in public. She curled her lips and started crying again.
Wen Yanshu didn't give Yun Wantang any face at all and said coldly, "Your daughter has disturbed everyone. Madam Li, please take her home and teach her a lesson."
Everyone: “…”
Is the Prince Consort's mouth so venomous? How come I never noticed it before?
Chunxi was also shocked by the words of her husband.
Before, she only thought that the prince consort was good-looking, but she didn't expect that when it came to arguing with people, the prince consort was no less capable than her husband.
Yun Wantang had been defeated by Chunxi several times before, and her popularity had declined. Recently, she had managed to regain some favor with the help of her two children, but now all of her favor was trampled under the feet of Wen Yanshu, and she was so angry that she wanted to die.
But Yue'er suffered a setback for the first time and was ordered to leave by Wen Yanshu. She acted like a spoiled child and insisted on going home, so she had no choice but to take Yue'er away first.
After the mother and daughter left, everyone dispersed. Wen Yanshu picked up Princess Hengyang and said to Chunxi, "The princess's makeup is smudged. I'll take her to clean it up. Madam Chen, please help entertain her."
Chunxi nodded repeatedly: "Princess, don't worry, I will take good care of this place."
Princess Hengyang's emotions had calmed down. She hadn't expected herself to lose control so suddenly because of a single sentence. She felt a little embarrassed to face Wen Yanshu and whispered, "I can walk on my own. Let me down."
Wen Yanshu turned a deaf ear and went straight to the main courtyard carrying Princess Hengyang.
After the two left, the garden suddenly became lively and everyone couldn't help but discuss what had just happened.
No wonder Princess Hengyang suddenly wanted to have a baby. It turned out that her husband had changed his personality. Judging from his attitude towards Yun Wantang just now, there was no way there was any ambiguity between them.
I don’t know what method the princess used to turn the prince consort, who was disgusted with her, into a wife-doting man. Could it be that she learned the art of controlling her husband from Cao Chunxi?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but secretly look at Chunxi.
Chunxi felt the gazes of people around him, but ignored them.
As soon as Princess Hengyang left, she couldn't help but think of the Soul-Stirring Fragrance again.
Wuyou Pavilion has been doing great business in recent years. The ladies from noble families present today might have been to Wuyou Pavilion. These ladies seem fine now, but if they get addicted to the Ecstasy Fragrance, who knows what will happen to them.
Chunxi was lost in thought when she heard someone talking: "The results of the Spring Examination will be announced next month. Will your Xiaowu pass this year?"
"He didn't study hard at all last year. He only studied for a few days at the last minute. It's strange he passed. But recently he got some incense that can boost his spirits, and he's been studying harder."
It smells good again.
Chunxi frowned slightly, and someone asked her about it.
"What kind of incense? Where did you buy it? I'll send someone to buy some for my two useless friends to try."
"It's called the Awakening Incense. I bought it at Ningxiang Pavilion in the east of the city. It's a bit expensive, though. A small box costs ten taels of silver."
"If this incense can really motivate people to make progress, ten taels of gold is nothing. I'll buy it even if it's ten taels of gold!"
It's only ten taels of silver, not a soul-stirring incense.
Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still curious, so after the birthday banquet was over, she took a car to Ningxiang Pavilion.
When I arrived, I was told that the incense was sold out.
