Even Hongtiao couldn't help but feel strange. She followed Princess Yonghe into the carriage and asked her in a low voice, "Why did your Highness suddenly think of the Qinghe Marquis's Mansion? The wife of the Qinghe Marquis has always been at odds with the Third Young Master Lin..."
Princess Yonghe smiled and nodded: "I know, she has always been at odds with this bastard, but she has never been able to defeat him."
Since you know, why are you still asking about Young Master Lin
Hongtiao looked bewildered. "Then why did you come to see the wife of the Earl of Qinghe? I have also heard about the matter of the Third Young Master Lin. It seems that Concubine Lin Shu has not mentioned it anymore. I am afraid that the Wei family is unwilling to agree."
Princess Yonghe lowered her eyelids, and the sunlight shone through the curtains onto her face. The expression on her face was hidden in the light, and only a cold voice could be heard: "I was just thinking that the Lin family and the Wei family can be considered a good match."
This is a great marriage.
If Wei An agrees, then all problems will be solved.
Since she married Mr. Lin, Shen Chen naturally had no other choice.
Isn’t that great
Why bother
Hongtiao was a little shocked: "You mean... But how can we force the cow to drink water?"
Princess Shouning is still a princess after all. Although she is not Prince Zheng's biological daughter, she is at least the daughter of Prince Zheng. If something really happens to her, Prince Zheng will lose face.
Emperor Longqing would not agree to it either.
Princess Yonghe's expression turned a little sinister: "Cows don't want to drink water?! So many cows don't want to drink water, but what happens in the end?!"
Isn't she also the cow that refuses to drink water? !
But who has considered her wishes!
She was so excited that her eyes were red. Hongtiao knew she was extremely angry, so she quickly moved over to pry her hands apart and rubbed her palms: "Don't worry, I'm worried about you... I know you feel wronged..."
Princess Yonghe bit her lip, her eyes suddenly turned red, and after a while she said, "If Shen Chen likes me, then father will naturally be happy to fulfill my wish. But if Shen Chen doesn't like me, given his personality and the importance of the current Prince of Linjiang, father will not go against his wishes..."
Apart from using her brain to attack Wei An, what else can she do? !
Hongtiao sighed softly: "That being said, Your Highness, Princess Shouning is still a princess after all, what can we do?"
After all, she is a princess trapped in the deep palace. Even if she is relatively free to leave the palace, that is only relative.
In the past, Queen Fang was there and the Empress Dowager was protecting her, so no one dared to say anything.
But now the world belongs to Concubine Peng De, and the fifth prince has been appointed crown prince. Who dares to confront Concubine De? Princess Yongqing's status and position have also been raised to a higher level, and she has surpassed Princess Yonghe.
Princess Yonghe may not be able to move around as freely in the future.
It's not that easy to do anything to a princess.
Princess Yonghe leaned against the cushion behind her and smiled: "It's not easy, but it's not that difficult either." She paused and asked Hongtiao: "Is Wei An going to leave Beijing?"
Old Madam Wei wanted to go to Fujian to visit relatives. The petition was submitted a long time ago and Emperor Longqing approved it. If it weren't for a series of events that happened later, the Wei family would have probably left long ago and it wouldn't have been delayed until now.
Recently, things have been resolved and it seems that they will not be delayed any longer.
"It will be in the next few days at the latest." Hongtiao thought seriously, "A few days ago, I heard that Princess Shouning went to the palace to pay her respects to Princess Zheng, just to say goodbye."
"Really?" Princess Yonghe said calmly, "Then time really isn't much."
Hongtiao was a little confused: "What do you mean by not having enough time?"
It was already late and they had already arrived at Zhengyang Street. Princess Yonghe did not answer her but simply ordered the guards to go and take a look.
When the guard came back and said that Shen Chen had not yet left Dingbei Marquis Mansion, her expression changed from indifferent to cold sarcasm.
Shen Chen, who always says that spending time with girls is a waste of time, isn't he also willingly wasting time now
It's just that the object is not her.
Hongtiao asked her hesitantly whether she should wait until Shen Chen came back and meet him.
She shook her head lightly and refused: "It doesn't matter whether we meet now or not, we can meet in the future."
The more they talked, the more something seemed wrong. Hongtiao turned her back and coughed for a while before turning back to ask her, "It's getting late, Your Highness. We should go back."
Princess Yonghe agreed readily, and suddenly asked her, "I seem to have heard you say before that Feng Shuyuan is going to be a 15-year-old?"
Feng Shuyuan is the daughter of the Rongchang Marquis family. However, after what happened to the Feng family before, the Feng family has become much more low-key. The young Rongchang Marquis also made great contributions in saving the emperor during this earthquake. Because of this, Emperor Longqing looked up to her very much.
It was because of this that the news of Rongchang Hou’s sister’s coming of age was able to reach the palace.
Because as usual, Concubine Peng De would give them gifts.
Hongtiao didn't understand why she suddenly asked about something so irrelevant, but she nodded quickly: "Yes, I heard that Princess Yongqing will also be there, which is really giving face to the girl from the Feng family."
Because Princess Yongqing was going, she thought Princess Yonghe would definitely not want to hear this name, so she just mentioned it briefly in front of Princess Yonghe and didn't take it to heart.
"I'll go too." Princess Yonghe smiled, then turned her head to look at Hongtiao and asked her, "Has Feng Shuyuan been coming to the palace to see Yongqing often recently?"
After Concubine Peng De lost her natal family, the Feng family tried hard to curry favor with her. Both sides were interested in this, so naturally they became close quickly.
Feng Shuyuan also often went to the palace to talk with Princess Yongqing.
I heard that the Feng family also helped settle Concubine Peng De’s family.
These things were collected by Empress Fang in the past to be used as evidence against Concubine Peng De. Now Empress Fang no longer had to use them, but she did use them.
Hongtiao understood a little bit, stopped what she was doing and looked at Princess Yonghe: "Ms. Feng has indeed been coming to the palace more frequently recently than before. I heard that Concubine De likes her very much, so she often summons her to the palace to accompany Princess Yongqing, and even intends to let her be Princess Yongqing's study companion..."
"Be careful. Next time she comes to the palace, let me know." Princess Yonghe gently closed her eyes and opened them again: "I have something to discuss with her."
After she said this, she closed her eyes and lay back on the cushion for a nap. Hongtiao looked at her for a long time before hesitantly covering her with a blanket and sighing silently.
In fact, she herself felt that what Queen Fang said at the time made sense and was truly for the good of Princess Yonghe.
It’s a pity that Princess Yonghe herself doesn’t seem to think so.
