The third prince thanked him again and again, but the prince only thought that he was a hypocrite, just perfunctory, gossiped a few words, and sent him away.
The prince stood there, staring at the direction where the third prince was going for a long time. After the third prince's back disappeared, he was still out of his mind for a while, and then he sighed softly, and murmured: "I hope, it's my overheartedness." Already!"
Only then did he turn back to the East Palace with his hands behind his back.
As soon as she heard that the prince was returning to the palace, the princess immediately came forward to talk with her courteously.
Ever since so many women entered the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess felt that she was a lot tired all of a sudden. She had to guard against and train those women, and also had to keep an eye on the Crown Prince's movements all the time.
As long as the prince returns to the palace, as long as she is in the east palace, she will definitely welcome him. And if any life-or-death side concubine beauty also ran out to show her courtesies, the prince would be tortured miserably by her after she left.
The princess wants to make troubles, there is no need for any reason or excuse - as long as she wants, she can do it. Who called her the princess
Therefore, there really was that woman who didn't know how to live or die, after suffering a loss, she didn't dare to stand out again.
Therefore, the only person who welcomes the prince back to the palace every day is the princess.
For this reason, the prince, who didn't know anything about it, still secretly sighed in his heart: After all, it is his concubine. Although she is a bit jealous, she is the only one who cares about herself!
The jealousy is also because I care too much about myself!
So the crown prince's concubine went to the prince's place for most of the time, and the two of them would have a good chat every day when they saw her.
But today, the prince was not in the mood at all, he just greeted the princess lightly, said "I have something to do", and went to the study.
The princess was stunned, staring at the prince to leave, she couldn't help but stomped her feet and scolded: "That dead girl surnamed Lu is really the nemesis of my palace's destiny, why do you do anything all day long as long as you get in touch with her?" It's not going well!"
Xiao Lianzi and the other eunuchs and court ladies couldn't help but secretly rolled their eyes: The Crown Princess concubine is so talented to vent her anger!
The concubine lost her temper, and then sent someone to see if the prince really went to the study, or did he go to some vixen's room
The inquirer reported back that he really went to the study, so the princess gave up. Unhappily stopped.
The prince went back to the study and sat behind the desk for a while, sneering, sighing, and gritting his teeth. He had never been so entangled. He didn't even want to believe this possibility, but he had to believe it.
So, he had to try to find out.
The prince had finished his calculations, and the next day he went to Kunning Palace to pay his respects to the queen.
As he was talking, he talked about the third prince's soon-to-be-established government office, and naturally talked about his marriage.
The prince laughed and said: "I think the second girl from the Lu family of Marquis of Changping is quite suitable for the third brother, so why don't the queen mother point her out to the third brother to be the princess, it's a good story!"
When the queen heard him mentioning this matter, she suddenly became vigilant, a sharp light flashed in her eyes and glanced at him, then she regained her composure and raised her eyebrows: "Well, why did you suddenly mention this today?"
The prince chuckled, still with a calm expression, and said with a smile: "It just suddenly occurred to me that the three emperors should get married too! After opening the government office and building a mansion, there is no princess in charge of the inner house affairs. It is not like after all! I will propose marriage to him! Erchen just thinks that this matter is better in our own hands."
"Hmm!" The queen had been secretly paying attention to his expression, and she didn't find anything unusual, and laughed at her carelessness. On the contrary, if he behaved incorrectly, it would easily make him suspicious, so he nodded and said with a smile: "You are right, it is true! I will consider this matter."
It's a completely perfunctory attitude.
The prince's heart was slightly cold, and he frowned on purpose, and said with great annoyance and disgust: "Damn the third brother, since he came back from the disaster relief in Henan, he suddenly fell into the eyes of the father! Now the father values him very much. The prince is going to lean back instead, and the son feels—" the prince snorted heavily at this point.
When the queen heard what the prince said, she was secretly happy in her heart, but her expression remained calm, and she said with a smile: "You, when did you learn to be more stable? His small contribution of half trips can compare with yours. Is it? You have too little confidence in yourself! Don't worry, with the queen mother here, he won't be able to turn the world over!"
After all, it is her own flesh and blood, how can the queen not feel distressed? Moreover, she is well aware of the prince's temperament, and she is afraid that the prince will attack the third prince in anger—where is the current third prince's opponent
The queen couldn't help but told the prince again, saying: "Do you remember what I told you before? The more it is like this, the more you can't attack the third child, otherwise, your father will lose his favor." Yes! Remember?"
The prince's heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly felt a little heartache, a pain he had never experienced before.
"Don't worry, queen mother," the prince forced a smile, and said, "I won't be so impulsive!"
"Well, that's good!" the queen smiled.
The prince only felt that her smile was very dazzling, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
He finally refused to just believe it. He knew it was wrong, but he still asked the question. The crown prince smiled lightly and said, "My queen, that girl from the Lu family is quite an interesting person! Why don't my mother point her out to you?" How is my son?"
"What?" A gleam flashed in the Queen's eyes, and she said calmly, "Why do you say that?"
The prince smiled and said: "That chick is not the same as those ladies in the capital. When Erchen returned to the palace yesterday, I happened to see her going out of the East Palace. Erchen suddenly thought-haha! Besides, Marquis Changping rescued his mother. Life, my son accepting his daughter is also a kind of gift to the Lu family!"
The queen laughed and scolded: "Come on, a girl with such a temperament is not suitable for you! Besides," she smiled half-truthfully and half-fakely: "Your princess and concubine are jealous all over the jar. You are not repaying others by accepting them, but harming them. It’s gone! There’s no such thing as a good person, but she! Don’t mention this again!”
The prince smiled, but he didn't show much disappointment, so he could only smile and promise the queen.
The queen couldn't help but frowned again, and said, "What did you just say? You went back to the palace yesterday and saw her coming out of the east palace?"
"Yes!" The crown prince gave the queen a strange look, and smiled disapprovingly, "It should be the crown princess or some side concubine who invited her to visit the East Palace!"
The queen said: "What side concubine? Apart from your crown princess, who else would dare to invite someone to the East Palace! The crown princess has always been at odds with Miss Lu, is she thinking of some way to make things difficult for her again? You go back and talk to her Talk about it, let’s talk about it, Lord Lu Hou is my savior after all, his daughter is naturally different from others, let her calm down! Don’t do anything that makes me unhappy!"
"Yes, queen mother!" The prince looked serious, stood up and replied respectfully, "It's all my son's talkativeness, which made the mother angry again! The queen mother is about to stop like this, my son knows it! My son will definitely go back I will teach her a good lesson!"
The queen nodded and said, "I know you are a proper person!"
The prince smiled and left.
The queen looked at the departing prince, and suddenly felt a little awkward in her heart. As for why it was awkward, she couldn't think about it for a while.
"Do you feel that the crown prince seems to know something, um, he seems - something is different?" The queen couldn't help asking Aunt Qing.
Aunt Qing was startled, and said with a smile: "I don't think the prince is any different, empress, you must be worrying too much!"
The queen thought about it carefully, and laughed at herself unconsciously, "It seems that I am really worrying too much!"
"Your Majesty, if you care about it, it will cause chaos!" Aunt Qing said, the master and servant looked at each other and smiled, and the matter was over.
After leaving Kunning Palace, the prince sneered twice, and went to find the third prince.
When the third prince saw it was him, he was more eager than pleasantly surprised. This fell into the eyes of the prince and he concluded: he really likes that girl of the Lu family very much.
But the prince sighed: "Don't mention it, I don't know what the queen mother's plan is, she interrupted the lonely king as soon as he mentioned it, and the lonely king didn't dare to mention it again! Third emperor brother, I'm really sorry! "
The third prince was naturally disappointed, but he didn't mean to blame the prince, but thanked him sincerely.
Seeing this, the prince showed a relieved expression, chatted with him a few words, and said: "It seems that this matter is up to you, third emperor brother! Well, because the lonely king has offended the queen mother, in the future After you see your mother, can you stop mentioning anything about the lonely king related to this matter? The lonely king really doesn't want to make mother unhappy."
This is a reasonable request, how could the solid-eyed Third Prince disagree? Then he nodded and said: "Prince, don't worry, I will never mention you a word in front of the queen!"
"That's good! Then I can rest assured!" The prince smiled and patted him on the shoulder, said a few more gossips and left.
Back in the East Palace, the prince entered the study as if he had fled, and locked himself in the study alone, with an indescribable expression on his face.
He didn't know what kind of mood he was in at the moment, and there were only three words in his mind: why...
why? What on earth does the queen mother mean!
Although the Marquis of Changping is a Marquis, he has not long been rehabilitated and has no foundation in the capital. His current position is not considered high, and he cannot be considered a powerful person in the capital.
If the third brother married his daughter as his concubine, it would not pose any threat to him. The queen mother should be very clear about this truth. However, she only cares about that girl from the Lu family as a side concubine, and this girl is the person that the third emperor's brother likes in his heart. This is so intriguing!
Suddenly he remembered that the empress mother firmly held the right to marry that girl of the Lu family. Could it be that since then, the empress mother has been planning for the third emperor's younger brother
