Chapter 305: Don't Take It Seriously
"Sister Chang, you're dressed so flamboyantly. Aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be unhappy when he sees you?"
Chang Zhaozhao stomped her feet in anger.
"You're lying!"
"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave us the gift, he wanted us to wear it. Why would you be unhappy about it? I think it's obvious that you didn't have it, so you said that on purpose."
Seeing the two of them arguing.
Situ Mingji couldn't help but remind him.
"It's getting late. My two sisters, why don't you take your seats first, in case the Crown Prince comes later..."
Before Situ Mingji could finish his words, Chang Zhaozhao immediately interrupted him with a look of contempt on his face.
"Who do you think you are? Do you need to tell me what to do?"
Ding Jiaojiao also scolded, "That's right, you're an unlucky woman who brought your fiancé to death. Don't think that just because your father helped the Crown Prince this time, you can enter the Eastern Palace again!"
After she finished speaking, someone next to her reminded her.
"But the Queen Mother took a liking to her and nominated her to be the Crown Princess!"
Chang Zhaozhao and Ding Jiaojiao felt angry when talking about this.
"So what?"
"She wasn't favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and was eventually punished for offending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Finally, she was given a marriage to a playboy."
"But it's also a blessing that she didn't become the Crown Princess. She just got married and her fiancé died."
"You're still dreaming of entering the Eastern Palace?"
"It seems to me that she clearly intends to harm the prince."
As they spoke, they looked at Situ Mingji with disdain, then returned to their seats.
When Situ Mingji heard this, he clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves tightly, wishing he could deal with the two brainless idiots in front of him.
However, he pretended to be kind on the surface.
"The two sisters are joking."
"I now understand my situation and will never again have the thought of marrying into the Eastern Palace.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful, and only someone with the looks of his two younger sisters can be worthy of him."
Situ Mingji said this beautifully, and Chang Zhaozhao and Ding Jiaojiao's expressions instantly improved a lot.
"Humph, you're smart."
But Situ Mingji changed the subject at this moment and said, "It's just..."
As she spoke, she sighed imperceptibly.
Seeing this, the two of them immediately raised their eyebrows and asked, "Just what?"
Situ Mingji looked embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
The woman beside Chang Zhaozhao saw this and immediately asked:
"Why don't you say what you want to say quickly? Our Miss Chang is going to be the Crown Princess in the future. How can she not listen to anything?"
After hearing this, Situ Mingji made up his mind and spoke in a low voice.
"Miss Chang and Miss Ding may not know that our Crown Prince has long had a lover in his heart, and she now lives in the East Palace. Back then, I accidentally offended that lady, which incurred the Crown Prince's wrath. This is why I was punished and ended up with a marriage."
Chang Zhaozhao and Ding Jiaojiao were latecomers, so they didn't know about Gu Jingchun's existence. They were shocked when they heard the words.
"How is this possible? How could His Royal Highness, such a glamorous and handsome man, do such an unmediated affair?"
Chang Zhaozhao immediately retorted.
Situ Mingji continued to sigh.
“I also hope these things are false, but, they are all true.
Back then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had angered Emperor Rongcheng because of her and was punished by him."
"This is not a secret. If you ask carefully, you can find out."
"Besides, I also heard that the Dragon Boat Festival banquet was also organized by that girl."
Ding Jiaojiao was shocked when she heard this.
"She was even entrusted with organizing a palace banquet of this magnitude. This shows how much the Crown Prince loves her. This..."
Ding Jiaojiao looked panicked.
"Who on earth is this person who can win over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to such an extent?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Mingji smiled and said, "She is the real daughter of Yong'an Marquis who was just found, Gu Jingchun."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Chang Zhaozhao was the first to snort coldly.
"I thought she was a noble lady from a wealthy family, but she turned out to be a widow."
She also felt relieved and looked at Situ Mingji with contempt.
"You are so useless that you were dealt with by such a widow."
Chang Zhaozhao's mother told her that men never know whether a woman is beautiful or ugly. All they care about is whether their lower body is comfortable.
As long as you serve them well, men will naturally listen to you.
No matter how powerful His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, he is still a man.
At the beginning, he must have been bewitched by the widow Gu Jingchun's tricks in bed.
Seeing that so much time has passed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not given her a title, probably because he minds her status as a widow.
So, I just treat her as a tool to warm the bed.
As for why she was asked to host the banquet, it must be because the Queen had passed away and the Queen Mother was old, so there was no one else available in the palace.
When Chang Zhaozhao thought of this, he gradually felt relieved and no longer took Gu Jingchun seriously.
Ding Jiaojiao thought so too.
She scoffed.
"She's just a widow. The prince is probably just looking for something new. I wouldn't even take her seriously. You're really making a fuss out of nothing."
After Ding Jiaojiao finished speaking, several women around her immediately echoed her.
Seeing this, Situ Mingji couldn't help but snort in his heart.
It’s best for you to ignore her and deal with her harshly when the time comes.
At that time, the prince would surely be furious and would directly execute them both, which would save her a lot of trouble.
As he was speaking, a loud shout came from outside, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and the Empress Dowager has arrived."
Everyone quickly stood up and greeted him.
Chen Hechuan and the Queen Mother sat down in the main seats, and the Queen Mother raised her hand to ask everyone to stand up.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please get up. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival family dinner. It's rare that you can take time out to come to the palace and spend some time with me, an old woman."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, several noble ladies and wives hurriedly complimented her.
After a few words, the empress dowager's expression relaxed a lot.
The noble ladies present also secretly looked at Shen Hechuan's expression.
Chen Hechuan was wearing a black robe with dark patterns today, which made him look even more handsome. Just a few glances at him made several girls blush.
However, Chen Hechuan did not even look at the noble ladies below. Instead, he looked around and frowned immediately after not seeing Gu Jingchun.
When the Queen Mother saw Chen Hechuan's expression, she knew what her grandson was thinking. She chuckled and turned to look at Nanny Li.
"Where's Miss Gu? Why don't you let her come over? The banquet is about to start, and we can't let her go hungry."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li nodded immediately.
"Miss Gu has been busy all day. She must have just finished. I'll go call her now."
