Princess Zheng was at her wit's end. After much thought, she felt that whether she or Wei An went out to entertain guests, it would easily lead to criticism.
Now the Jiang family has come with ill intentions, who knows what their intentions are
If they came now and she and Wei An entertained them, and they went back and said that they were entertained by the princess and the princess in Prince Zheng's mansion, and if they hinted at something in their words, she and Wei An would probably have to give up their lives as human beings.
Ding Xiang felt that she had thought about it very carefully this time, and nodded quickly: "In this case, I will go out and tell Tian Bo and the others..."
But just as she finished speaking, Wei An's voice came from outside.
Wei An lifted the curtain and came in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Princess Zheng and shook his head softly: "Princess, you can't be turned away."
Princess Zheng was a little anxious: "I also know that this is not appropriate, but it's okay to offend them. We originally had no hatred or grudge against them, but didn't they still stir up so much trouble? If we meet them, it will be against the rules. Who knows what unpleasant things they will say? After all, we are women, and people's words are scary!"
Wei An understood Princess Zheng's concerns, and he also knew that Jiang Zining's choice of this time to come was by no means a coincidence, but was deliberate act since he knew that Shen Chen had already gone to the palace.
In the eyes of outsiders, they lowered their status, acted humble and came to apologize and make amends very sincerely.
And if the people in Prince Zheng's Mansion refused to let them in because they said there were no male heirs, then rumors about the arrogance of Prince Zheng's Mansion would surely be all over the city tomorrow.
If they meet, just as Princess Zheng said, the people who depend on the Jiang family will have something to say. They will probably use the example of a hen crowing at dawn to say that the Zheng Palace has no rules at all and actually let a few women come out to entertain such an important official of the court. It is clear that they have no manners and are disrespectful to him.
She nodded gently towards Princess Zheng: "I know what you mean, don't worry, I have asked someone to invite my uncle."
Princess Zheng was stunned for a moment, and after a while she remembered that the uncle Wei An was referring to was the Prince of Zhennan, so she breathed a sigh of relief and asked her, "Is it too late?"
Wei An hummed, indicating that Ding Xiang didn't need to go out. He smiled and said, "There's still time. Let's invite them in first. Since they are here to apologize, of course we have to do our best to apologize. If they leave before they can stay for a while, it's not that we didn't entertain them well, but that they didn't have enough heart."
In her previous life, Wei An was accustomed to such methods of killing people, and she knew very well the tricks used by these old hands to kill people with a blunt knife. Therefore, she was not very surprised by this show of force, and she had already made sufficient preparations.
Princess Zheng has always trusted Wei An. Since Wei An said so, she nodded hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you say so, then it's fine. Then please invite the person in now?"
Wei An hummed: "I have asked Tian Bo to invite the people in first, don't worry."
Tian Bo was also a very interesting person. He was an old man who had followed King Zheng. He usually kept a low profile, but he was a very versatile person. As soon as he went out, he looked at the people who were vaguely gathered outside to watch the fun. He was able to calm down first, stepped forward and performed all the etiquette respectfully, then bent over and told Jiang Zining and Jiang Songwen about Shen Chen's entry into the palace.
Then he apologized: "The princess and the county lady are both women, it is not easy for them to show their faces in public. I am afraid that if we come out to entertain guests, it will bother the Prime Minister and the Minister. Therefore, I have sent someone to invite the Prince of Zhennan and the Second, Third and Fifth Masters of Wei to accompany the guests. Please wait for a moment."
Jiang Songwen couldn't help but curse in his heart.
This means that they have to wait until Prince Zhennan and his men arrive.
Originally, I thought that since Shen Chen was not around, I could at least take advantage of him. But now it seems that even if Wei An was the only one, he would be very difficult to deal with.
No wonder Lu Yuanrong and the others hated Wei An so much before and were so afraid of her. She was actually a person worthy of taboo.
Jiang Zining showed nothing. As the Prime Minister, he was still able to bend down. He smiled and followed Tian Bo inside: "As it should be, as it should be. It's our fault for not thinking it through. We didn't hear that Pingxi Hou had entered the palace temporarily..."
Now that they're here, with such a big scene and so many eyes in the capital watching them, and the palace is also watching, they certainly can't slap themselves in the face.
But since they couldn't let everyone see the palace's neglect, there was no need to stay here and embarrass themselves in public, letting everyone see them putting on a smiling face.
He never does useless things.
Therefore, knowing that he could not give this warning, he quickly changed his approach, followed Tian Bo into the house, sat down in the flower hall, and glanced at Jiang Songwen.
Jiang Songwen also smiled, sighed and said, "My steward accepted money from others and almost harmed the princess. We feel very sorry. Father personally escorted me to apologize..." He clapped his hands, looked at the gift list presented by his subordinates, took it in his hand and handed it over: "This is a small gift, please accept it, Princess and Princess."
Tian Bo was speechless. He took the gift list respectfully, ordered tea and snacks to be served, and said with a smile, "Master Prime Minister and Master Shangshu are too polite. The prince is not here, and there are only the princess and the princess in the palace. It is not appropriate for me to entertain you personally. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
Jiang Songwen couldn't hold it in. He glanced at his father, and when Tian Bo retreated, he became a little furious: "Dad! You said we were here to put on a show, but look, they don't even respond to our tricks. They won't even come out or see us. How can we put on this show?!"
Jiang Zining glanced at him, and seeing him lower his head, he asked with a fake smile, "What's the hurry?"
Wei An was indeed as slippery as a loach, but did she think that everything would be fine as long as she didn't meet or come into direct contact with him
Yes, they did make it clear in front of the onlookers that they were all women and it was not easy for them to entertain guests for fear of neglecting them. But didn’t she invite someone else to accompany her as host
Doesn’t the attitude of those who entertain the guests represent their attitude
If the Prince of Zhennan and those people from the Wei family can't hold back their anger and take inappropriate actions, wouldn't that be at the instigation of Wei An and the others
He looked at Jiang Songwen steadily, and his voice gradually became colder: "You better keep calm, cheer up, and act according to the situation later!" (To be continued)
