[As expected of a princess, she indeed has two brushes. ] Su Ningxin secretly gave the princess a thumbs up.
Knowing that the old princess could be left to her mother-in-law to deal with it, Su Ningxin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you stay at home to deal with these things. I have to go out of the city to find Gu Mingxi and the others so that nothing happens."
Chu Jihan shook his head honestly, "No, I can't stay in the mansion. I have to find someone. I have secret guards from the Prince's Palace in my hands. It's easier to find someone."
"Mingxi and I have known each other since we were children. I won't be able to feel at ease if I don't go find her personally and see that she is safe and sound." Su Ning said wisely.
"Me too..." Chu Jihan wanted to argue with reason, but then he remembered that although he and Chu Luoye had known each other since childhood, most of the time they expected each other to die suddenly, so he would feel at ease even if something happened.
As Su Ningxin looked at him with leisurely eyes, Chu Jihan said forcefully, "I have more people."
Su Ningxin said quietly, "But they are from the county prince's palace. If you transfer them, won't you be discovered by your father, princess, and concubines?"
"What if we find out?" Chu Jihan understood what Su Ningxin meant before he finished speaking. The emperor left Gu Mingxi to pretend to be him just to hold back the Yang family and avoid instability on the border when the capital was in chaos.
Prince Anjun's Mansion has already attracted the attention of all parties in the North. Now that the assassination of his father has made people anxious, if they send out secret guards again and are noticed by various families, they will inevitably not do anything. By then, not only will the capital be in turmoil, but the borders will also be in turmoil. There will also be waves.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Chu Jihan had no choice but to compromise.
"I also have some people under me who are just ordinary businessmen. It won't attract attention if they come to find someone." Su Ning said confidently.
Naturally, she would not use the Xueshe Chamber of Commerce's great power to attract the wind, but most of the people in the escort agency had already arrived at Daming Mansion, so it would be very efficient for Zhong Xiyan to send people to look for them.
"Okay, but I have a condition. If there is nothing wrong in the house, I will go out with you."
It didn't matter. With the princess in front of her, no one would pay attention to the two "sick men" in Xinghan Courtyard, so Su Ningxin agreed.
After passing the message to Zhong Xiyan outside, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan also found an opportunity to go out to the lower reaches of the river to have a look in person, but unfortunately they didn't gain anything.
But Su Ningxin wasn't too worried. Gu Mingxi and the others must have run away. Su Ningxin didn't know the others, but she was very familiar with Gu Mingxi. With Gu Mingxi's water nature, nothing would happen to her. If I can't find it now, it may be due to some unexpected delay.
On this day, Su Ningxin was eating snacks and reading travel notes on the imperial concubine's couch. She had been too busy recently, and she had accumulated a lot of new travel notes that she had not read. She took this opportunity to read them all.
Chu Jihan, who was drawing behind the desk, seemed to suddenly think of something. He raised his head and looked at Su Ningxin, his eyes burning.
Su Ningxin couldn't ignore this look, and frowned at Chu Jihan, "What do you want to do?"
Chu Jihan pointed to the jade pendant on his waist and said, "Look here."
Su Ningxin looked at it seriously and commented, "The quality is good, but not as good as the piece you gave me. It seems that the thank you gift you gave me was quite sincere."
Chu Jihan shook his head, "Look carefully, do you think there is a purse missing here?"
"You don't want me to embroider a purse for you, do you?" Su Ningxin raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Jihan.
Chu Jihan didn't seem to care and said, "If you have time, you can also embroider a purse to pass the time."
He was thinking about it on a whim. He was thinking about Chu Luoye's whereabouts while he was drawing, but for some reason he suddenly remembered the bamboo leaf purse that Chu Luoye was carrying. Although the pattern looked very ordinary, it was used by Chu Luoye to show off. For a long time, Chu Luoye regarded it as a token of love just because Princess Xingyang embroidered it at that time.
As for herself and Su Ningxin, they were already married and seemed to have no decent token of love. She regarded the jade pendant that she gave her as a thank you gift for saving her life.
Su Ningxin didn't know what Chu Jihan was thinking, so she simply said decisively, "I'm not a good female celebrity, so let's forget it."
[I’m afraid you’re not living in a dream. I get annoyed when I see an embroidery needle. Even my purse is embroidered by Shuanghua. How could I embroider your purse? If I do it, you’ll taste the sweetness and slap it on your face. Then don’t I have to make all the shoes, socks and clothes from now on?]
Hearing that Su Ningxin was unwilling, Chu Jihan was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. He just thought that after getting along for a long time, Su Ningxin would understand that there should be a token of love. In the final analysis, the relationship is still shallow now. .
While the two were talking, there were footsteps outside. After knocking on the door and getting permission, Xia Mumu walked in, "The servants from Songshouyuan came to send a message, saying that the old princess invited some old friends to visit the house tomorrow. Let the Crown Prince and Crown Princess go meet the guests tomorrow."
Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan looked at each other and thought at the same time, as expected, the old princess was here to act as a monster and would not let them stop at all.
Just four days had passed since the last time Su Ningxin fainted, and the old princess couldn't stand it anymore.
In the past few days, Su Ningxin had been quiet despite the fact that she was seriously ill, but there was no peace at all in the county prince's palace. The princess and the old princess had two violent quarrels, and no one got any advantage.
The old princess didn't like the princess who came from the Duke's palace, nor did she like the concubine Li from the Li family, but she really liked Mrs. Ying, a relative of her natal family, so she had been making a fuss in the past few days to let Mrs. Ying out of the ancestral hall.
Naturally, the princess would not let her do whatever she wanted. Although she finally released Mrs. Ying, she took the opportunity to send a wife and a concubine that the old princess had stuffed into the prince's room earlier to Zhuangzi.
When the princess first got married, she didn't see the old princess clearly, and she was very respectful to her. She had filial piety and it was hard to disobey her, so she asked the old princess to crowd many people into Prince An's room. It was only after the two of them had a falling out that the old princess became a little more scrupulous about her behavior.
Most of the backyards in the current mansion were brought in by the old princess five or six years before the prince and princess got married. After the old prince passed away and the old princess moved out of the mansion, no new people were added to the backyard.
After so many years of back and forth, the princess' ability to deal with the old princess has also improved rapidly. She has long known how to hold the old princess's life gate to suppress her. It was only recently that the princess was pregnant and the prince was injured and needed to be taken care of. She didn't have that much energy to deal with the old princess, and now they were evenly matched.
Su Ning thought for a while and asked Xia Mutou, "Do you know who grandma will invite over tomorrow?"
Su Ningxin shouted like a grandmother. Although she secretly called the old princess an old witch, she would never let others catch her when she spoke. Even if she was surrounded by close confidants, she would not say the wrong thing. It was not that she didn't trust her, it was just that It's out of habit.
