Chapter 388 Taking Advantage of the Situation
Mrs. Zhenguo's face froze, and her expression could no longer remain calm and composed. Even the smile on the corner of her mouth looked a little more forced: "Wan'er is still young after all, so it is inevitable that she will make mistakes——"
"Princess." The servant stood outside the pavilion and reported respectfully, "The Crown Prince and General Chu are here."
Mrs. Zhenguo's expression paused, and she couldn't help but look at Princess Jing, as if she was surprised: "Isn't Chu Hongyi not here yet?"
Entering and leaving the palace in a grand manner before entering the door?
"Inform the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes at noon. By the way, remember to stew the bird's nests that Her Royal Highness the Princess just delivered yesterday." Princess Jing finished instructing the housekeeper, and then turned to look at Mrs. Zhenguo helplessly. Sighing softly, "I can't help it. Hong Yi is pregnant now, and she is a general who wields swords and guns. She doesn't care much about things like her daughter's house. I have to let her come over often and order the kitchen to make some nourishing food for her." She is replenishing her body. After all, she is carrying the blood of Prince Jing’s family, don’t you think so?”
Mrs. Zhen Guogong forced a smile: "The princess is right. Regardless of whether your daughter-in-law likes her or not, this grandson is a legitimate member of Prince Jing's family. He should still make up for it if he is good."
Princess Jing picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She pretended not to understand the meaning of her words and said calmly: "It's strange that Qi'er has it. If the prince and I hadn't taught him well, he wouldn't have been so good before we got married. She did something so contrary to ethics that a girl in Hongyi’s family has to suffer criticism, and we can’t forgive her.”
He said with a faint smile: "If Hong Yi hadn't begged for mercy, the prince would have used family law to punish him. After all, what he did was indeed outrageous."
She kept saying "red clothes", and she seemed to regard Chu Hongyi as one of her own family members. This was completely different from her previous attitude. What could others say?
Mrs. Zhenguo didn't want to stay here any longer and bring trouble to herself. She finally stood up and said with a faint smile: "Then Lan Yi and I will go back first. I take the liberty of disturbing you today. Please forgive me, Princess."
Princess Jing naturally stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
The two of them walked out together. As soon as they arrived outside the hall, they saw a maid trotting over in a hurry, panting and saying: "King, Princess..."
"What are you doing?" Princess Jing frowned, "Are there any rules? Madam saw the joke."
The maid lowered her head to apologize and said, "Miss Ji had a conflict with General Chu."
Princess Jing's face changed slightly: "What's going on?"
When Mrs. Zhen Guo heard her words, her expression froze for a moment. Then she thought of the conflict between Ji Wan'er and Chu Hongyi. She immediately calmed her expression and said with a slight smile: "I'd better go and have a look with the princess. Don't let it happen." Wan'er collided with General Chu."
Princess Jing didn't say anything else, she just asked the maid to lead the way, and they quickly followed her towards the garden.
The cause of the matter is quite ordinary.
Ji Waner and Fang Lanyi were hanging out in the garden. When they heard the news that the prince was back, Ji Waner pulled Fang Lanyi and walked out. They planned to have a chance encounter, but they didn't expect that Xuanyuan Qi came back with Chu Hongyi. .
When his eyes touched the fairy-like pair, Fang Lanyi's expression froze for a moment, and Ji Wan'er also frowned subconsciously.
Both of them were obviously unhappy.
But Fang Lanyi will definitely not show any emotions at this time.
"General Chu is not married yet, how can he have sex with his cousin?" As a cousin of Prince Jing's palace, Ji Waner asked Chu Hongyi with a hostess tone, "Aren't you afraid of others laughing at you?"
Xuanyuan Qi's expression suddenly turned cold: "The previous two slaps weren't painful enough, were they?"
"I..." Ji Waner's face stiffened and she gritted her teeth, "The visitor is a guest. I am here to pay my respects to my aunt today. If my cousin is rude to me, I... I will tell my aunt."
Fang Lanyi glanced at Xuanyuan Qi quietly, her posture was gentle and peaceful, and she looked like the years had passed peacefully, but Chu Hongyi still caught the slight hint of shyness and timidity in her eyes.
So Chu Hongyi looked at her expressionlessly.
"Is General Chu not happy to see me?" Fang Lanyi lowered his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, with an expression of forbearance and mercy, "I am a guest with my mother today. If General Chu doesn't like it, I will leave immediately."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Waner's hostility towards Chu Hongyi was instantly aroused.
"Miss Fang came here with me." Ji Waner frowned, "If General Chu is unhappy and has a temper, just get angry at me. There is no need to show off to Lan Yi."
Showing off?
Chu Hongyi gave her a cold look: "Who is she? Who do you think you are?"
One sentence scolded both of them, and Ji Waner's expression suddenly changed: "General Chu is too——"
"Shut up." Xuanyuan Qi gave her a cold look. "What did I tell you in the palace before?"
Ji Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale.
He said that from now on Prince Jing's Mansion would cut off relations with the Ji family, and no one from the Ji family would be allowed to step into Prince Jing's Mansion again.
Ji Wan'er thought he said what he said out of anger and didn't take it seriously. Besides, Princess Jing was her aunt. She used to come whenever she wanted, so why wasn't she allowed to enter the palace?
"Get out of the palace immediately." Xuanyuan Qi held Chu Hongyi's hand, "otherwise, don't blame me for having someone drive you out."
After leaving these words, he was about to leave with Chu Hongyi when he saw Princess Jing and Mrs. Zhen Guogong walking from the corridor from afar, followed by more than ten maids from the palace and Duke Guo's palace. Swinging, full of posture.
"What's going on?" Princess Jing frowned and glanced from Ji Waner's face to Chu Hongyi, her expression immediately turned into concern, "You just came back from the palace, I ordered the kitchen to cook something you like. , I stayed for lunch before leaving, and I also asked them to stew bird's nests——"
"Aunt." Ji Waner's eyes turned red, and she interrupted aggrievedly, "My cousin wants to drive me out of the house."
Princess Jing frowned, turned to look at her, and said in a cold tone: "Why are you crying? Is Prince Jing's Mansion the place where you behave?"
Ji Waner was stunned and looked at her in disbelief: "Aunt?"
"I think you have been spoiled since you were a child, and you have no rules at all!" Princess Jing said in a stern tone, "You don't study well all day long. You are not good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you are better at speaking rudely than anyone else! Your cousin wants to drive you away. ? Why did he drive you away? If you did nothing wrong, he would drive you away? "
Ji Wan'er saw that her expression was colder than ever before and her face was pale. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.
"Let the Duke's wife and Miss Fang watch the joke." Princess Jing's face was calm, but when she turned to look at the Zhen Guo Duke's wife, she suppressed her anger, "Wan'er is not sensible. She has been unruly and brainless since she was a child, and she is the most vulnerable. She was deceived and used by others to help count money. I will definitely teach her a lesson later. "
