Princess Linjiang didn't say anything, and continued to talk to Xu Anying's granddaughter next to her. She looked very compatible with them and completely ignored Wei An, pretending that he didn't exist.
By the time the dinner was over, everyone who had attended knew that Princess Linjiang was not so satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.
Just after returning to the palace, Nanny Qin couldn't help but persuade Princess Linjiang: "Didn't you say that you can't go against the Marquis like before? Why now..." She looked at Princess Linjiang's eyes with a few more fine lines in the mirror, and said in a low voice: "You, you have to bear it no matter how hard you try... The prince is looking at the Marquis very seriously now. I heard that he plans to invite the Marquis back to live in the palace. You..."
Now that it has come to this, and she is about to ascend to the position that is second only to the emperor, she is really afraid that Princess Linjiang will make a mistake at this critical juncture, and then she will have no place to cry.
After all, she is following Princess Linjiang, and she has offended Concubine Yu badly. She has no other choice but to follow Princess Linjiang. The livelihood and future of her whole family depend on Princess Linjiang, so she cannot be careless.
Princess Linjiang knew what she meant. She glanced at her indifferently in the mirror and took off the hairpin on her head: "Am I so stupid that I don't know the truths you said?"
Her temper had become increasingly strange recently, and Nanny Qin did not dare to offend her. She carefully removed the hairpins on her head. Seeing that she was in a good mood, she carefully continued, "I know that you don't like Princess Shouning, but now is not the right time..."
"I know." Princess Linjiang didn't seem angry. She interrupted Nanny Qin and asked, "Where's Qingshuang?"
Nanny Qin was stunned for a moment before she reacted and quickly replied, "According to your instructions, I have been transferred to the laundry department now."
This was an order issued before she came back. At that time, people in the main courtyard were saying that Qingshuang had fallen out of favor because she had done something wrong and displeased Princess Linjiang, and her future was ruined.
Princess Linjiang closed her eyes and hummed. After a while, she asked her, "Is there anything wrong?"
Qingshuang has been spoiled and has a bad temper now, and she is afraid that Qingshuang will do something bad.
Nanny Qin laughed and shook her head with a mocking look: "How could this be? Miss Qingshuang is a sensible person. She knows that she is temporarily enduring for the sake of her future. She is doing it with extra care. In just this month, she has lost a lot of weight. It's pitiful. She looks more like her sister."
This is also what shocked Nanny Qin. Qingshuang used to be just a vain girl, but in just over half a year, she became someone who used all means to climb up the social ladder. No one knew what Princess Linjiang said to her that could cause such a big change in her.
Princess Linjiang seemed to see through her doubts, and smiled disdainfully: "What's the big deal? If a person gets what he wants and gets the best, he will never give it up. Isn't there a saying that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but easy to go from frugality to luxury? She has been raised as a princess for so many days, and her ambition and vision have been raised too high. It is impossible for her to live in poverty. Now even if you pull her away, she will not leave."
Nanny Qin knew what she meant and said after a moment of silence, "She really doesn't look like her sister."
It turns out that one kind of rice can really feed a hundred kinds of people.
Princess Linjiang sneered and asked her, "Didn't Shen Chen find her?"
"No." Nanny Qin waved her hands hastily: "Qingshuang is also very obedient. When we told her not to get close to the Marquis, she really didn't get close. She just did her hard work honestly. It's all because of your good training."
That’s right. Shen Chen has seen many women who are too greasy and clingy. How could he be tempted by them
Of course there has to be something unique.
Princess Linjiang had already explained everything to Qingshuang clearly, both explicitly and implicitly. Qingshuang also knew what she meant. If she went up to him and acted like a bastard, then this person would definitely not be useful to her, and if she was used, it would only bring bad consequences.
But now it was different. Qingshuang was so patient that it was beyond Princess Linjiang's expectation. She smiled and said, "Then wait a few days and see when the time is right. Ask Shen Chen to meet her. Don't say anything. Tell Qingshuang to be smart and proceed step by step. Don't scare people away at once."
Men always want what they can't get.
Qingshuang looks so much like her sister that Shen Chen can recognize her at a glance. The suspense makes him pay more attention to her.
Nanny Qin agreed and helped her wash and change into her pajamas before asking her, "Princess, the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion has sent an invitation. When the time comes, the Fifth Master of their family will go as a concubine. Will you go?"
Princess Linjiang hummed without hesitation this time: "Of course I will go. Since the prince has given this face, how can we not give it? This is the marriage between the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion and the Ping'an Marquis' Mansion. Ping'an Marquis has made great efforts in this matter for the prince. If I don't go, what will those people think of him? I naturally can't make the prince unhappy at this time."
Nanny Qin heaved a sigh of relief, but after a little effort she asked, "So are you still going to give Princess Shouning a hard time today?"
Prince Linjiang thinks highly of Shen Chen, so naturally he also likes Princess Shouning, whom Shen Chen likes. If he knew that Prince Linjiang's Mansion was treating Wei An in such a disapproving way, he would probably not be happy.
This would only make people feel uncomfortable, and there would be no substantial revenge. It was like a dispute between children. Nanny Qin didn't quite understand why Princess Linjiang would do such a thankless thing.
Princess Linjiang smiled and said, "I don't like this marriage, so I naturally don't want them to get married. First, I want to let the Wei family see what kind of elder they will have after they marry into the family. Second, I want to let those ladies see that I am kind to other girls, so that they know that their own girls still have a chance. Then, naturally, groups of people will rush to marry me. I told the prince that Wei An's temper is not very docile, and I am afraid that their marriage will not be happy, their personalities are not compatible, or they will find an excuse to find someone who can serve and is sensible to take care of Shen Chen together with Wei An. I have all good intentions. Could it be that the prince still blames me for being too thoughtful because of this matter?"
It turned out that there was such a plan. Nanny Qin knew that Princess Linjiang had a plan in mind and was not stupid enough to anger Prince Linjiang, so she was relieved: "If you say so, the prince and the marquis can't blame you..." (To be continued)
