Chapter 997: What if Princess Chen Doesn’t Have King Chen?

"There is no conflict between King Chen and King Zhou. They can be good brothers. His Royal Highness King Zhou has a distinguished status and has the support of the Queen Mother. If he can get the attention of the Queen Mother, this can be done!" The look on the face of the eldest princess Ruiping The coldness slowly receded, his face softened, and he said to his granddaughter with a smile.

King Chen himself did not have much strength to compete for the throne. Everyone knew that even though the emperor valued him, he could not really pass the throne to him.

He has never been passed down from son to nephew, so how could it happen to him? Moreover, even though his body is getting better now, it is still much worse than the princes who have always been healthy. It is good to be alive like this, I can't say An An'an can still live for a few more years. If he has other thoughts, the pain of thinking and exhaustion can even kill him.

Princess Ruiping had long thought about making good friends with people like King Chen and not offending him.

"Princess Chen is not an easy person to get along with!" Princess Yuan'an still had other opinions. Seeing that her grandmother seemed to be very optimistic about Prince Chen, she couldn't help but said.

"What if Princess Chen doesn't have King Chen? She is nothing, and this Princess Chen is really liked by King Chen?" Princess Ruiping raised her lips with a hint of sarcasm.

"Grandma, is there anything wrong with this? Look at what happened before. The second brother was punished even though he did nothing wrong. It's so hateful!" Princess Yuan'an was furious when she heard that there was something in the words of Grand Duke Ruiping. The voice argued.

"So what? I didn't see you and your second brother being so close in the past, but now I always get angry when I mention your second brother's injury!" Princess Ruiping glanced at her and said.

The meaning behind these words made Princess Yuan'an blush with embarrassment. Her relationship with Qu Xinghong had always been weak. Qu Xinghong was a dandy. How could Princess Yuan'an like him? Even though he was her brother. so what.

"If you are like this, how can His Highness Prince Chen not do the same? What you hurt was Princess Chen, but what you hit was His Highness Prince Chen's face. With King Chen's character, he didn't hit the eldest princess' mansion directly, but gave it to me anyway. To save face." Princess Ruiping said, glancing at Princess Yuan'an, "Do you feel anything now?"

Princess Yuan'an nodded hurriedly: "Grandma, I understand. If I disgrace Princess Chen, it is equivalent to slapping King Chen in the face. King Chen will definitely not let me go with his character. He is not the same as Princess Chen." It doesn’t matter if you don’t really mean it!”

"If it was really good, I wouldn't leave at this time. To stay away for so long after just getting married shows that I don't care much about it!" Princess Ruiping nodded with satisfaction. Her granddaughter must have grown up on her own. Just mention it a little and you will understand it immediately.

"But Princess Chen is extremely beautiful..." Even though she was unwilling to do so, Princess Yuan'an had to agree with this. In the past, she only knew that Shao Yanru was the most beautiful, but now Shao Wanru is not inferior at all, and even makes people feel It is more eye-catching, more spiritual and charming.

Take my second brother as an example. He had only seen her once, and he was so seriously injured. He was still lying on the bed, and he still wanted to secretly inquire about Princess Chen.

"So what? King Chen is in the palace. What kind of beauties have he never seen? The Queen Mother and the Queen have sent all kinds of beauties around him early. Although Princess Chen is said to be beautiful, each beauty is in everyone's eyes. , some beauties are not much different, if King Chen is because of his appearance,

It's a big joke to fall in love with Princess Chen. "

Princess Ruiping said indifferently.

Being in the royal family, one sees a lot of beauties, and each beauty catches one's eye. King Chen may not think that Princess Chen is the most beautiful. There are so many beauties with delicate looks in this palace, and those beauties sent to Prince Chen's palace are many. A few met a good end.

Hearing what the eldest princess Ruiping said, Princess Yuan'an felt that it was very reasonable. She nodded, no longer rigidly attached to Shao Wanru's appearance, paused and asked: "Grandma, what should I do now? It is said that it is the Xingguo Marquis Mansion. If we want to invite her over, she didn’t come to our Grand Duke’s Mansion in Ruiping, but went to the Marquis Xingguo’s Mansion, so we can’t say anything, but I have already informed a few of my close ladies before.”

This is what Princess Yuanan is most dissatisfied with.

Princess Ruiping's mansion invited Shao Wanru over this time, originally with the intention of making peace, and then invited several ladies from other mansions to come and accompany them, so that both parties would not be embarrassed and the matter would be settled naturally. .

After all, the two people were at loggerheads.

At this moment, Shao Wanru couldn't say anything anymore. It was her Princess Yuan'an who had been embarrassed. The successive embarrassments made the originally calm Princess Yuan'an unable to sit still.

"The Marquis of Xingguo Mansion will handle the rituals of her biological father and mother for her. As a child, Princess Chen must go. If she wants to come, I won't let her come. We can't let her not go and fulfill her duties just because of matters in our house. Xiao, let others say what we say, and let the Queen Mother and the Emperor think!"

Princess Ruiping analyzed.

Princess Yuan'an was originally a smart person, but her face changed drastically after she tasted it carefully. She had not thought so much before, she only felt that she had been neglected by Shao Wanru, and she had been embarrassed again and again, which made her lose her place among the noble ladies. Now Upon closer inspection, there was a cold sweat.

She is not an ordinary noblewoman in the capital. She will be the Princess of Zhou in the future and is closely related to the King of Zhou. If the Queen Mother and the Emperor feel that they are using the eldest princess to cause trouble with the King of Zhou, Shao Wanru, who was originally going to return to the house to fulfill his filial piety, will only Being able to come to his own house, not to mention being arrogant and arrogant, I, the future Princess Zhou, may not even be able to enter the door of Prince Zhou's mansion.

"Grandma..." After thinking about this, Princess Yuanan broke into a cold sweat and looked at Princess Ruiping in horror.

"Have you figured it out?" Princess Ruiping looked very calm and asked, raising her chin.

Princess Yuan'an nodded repeatedly, no longer daring to think that Shao Wanru would come over, "Grandma, I understand. I was wrong before. It's best if she doesn't come. I won't force you!"

"It's not just that. It doesn't matter if she doesn't come. We can come to the door ourselves. The intention of asking for favors is originally for outsiders to see. Even if King Chen is not here now, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will be happy if they know about it. Even the Queen Mother I’m also happy to see you get close to Prince Chen’s Mansion.”

The eldest princess Ruiping smiled. Finally, her granddaughter was not too stupid. She understood it immediately after giving it a hint.

"Grandma means that we find Prince Chen's Mansion?" Princess Yuan'an asked anxiously.

"We're not going to Prince Chen's Mansion. Princess Chen has already gone to Xingguohou's Mansion. Why should we go to Prince Chen's Mansion? Let's go to Prince Xingguo's Mansion. Since it's a matter of law, let's send some incense and candles and the like to go there and hold a ceremony. My heart!" Princess Ruiping smiled.

Princess Yuan'an's eyes

He rolled his eyes and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, grandma, I listen to grandma, and I will have someone prepare the sacrifice soon!"

"Okay, there is no rush in this matter. As long as you are calm and calm, many things can be easily discussed." Princess Ruiping smiled, reached out and patted the table gently, and told the maid on the side, "Go and take my treasured treasure." Take out the tea set from Yushanqian and let the princess try it out."

That set of tea sets was a gift from the Queen Mother, and it was even more precious. In the past, Princess Yuanan had only seen it in very important places, but now she was actually asked to use this tea set to learn tea ceremony. Her eyes widened in surprise. , "Thank you grandma!"

"These things are just objects. In the future...what kind of things do you want? When you arrive at the Xingguo Hou Mansion, if someone in the Xingguo Hou Mansion makes things difficult for Princess Chen, you must think carefully about it. Although you are not Princess Zhou now, you are still She is also of royal blood, and she is a cousin!" Princess Ruiping said casually.

If you become a queen in the future, you will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. What kind of good things will you not have?

As for the Xingguohou Mansion suddenly holding such a ceremony at this time, it is actually easy to understand. There are many things being spread outside now, that is, the Xingguohou Madam has been plotting against Princess Chen for a long time. It's not something that can be handled in the backyard if it even reaches the Ministry of Justice.

It is inevitable for the Xingguo Hou Mansion to be embarrassed. This matter can be big or small at the moment. The key point lies in Princess Chen’s attitude. Seeing that Princess Chen has no intention of doing anything good, the Xingguo Hou Mansion then thought of this. It’s time to recruit this Princess Chen back!

As for why the Princess Chen was not forcefully invited back, of course it was because the Xingguo Hou Mansion was currently weak. Even if Xiaoyi was taken as an example, many people felt that the Xingguo Hou Mansion was unkind to Princess Chen because of so many things in the past. This filial piety is not something you can just get if you want.

At present, except for the deceased former Prince Xingguo and Princess Qinghua, the Xingguo Hou Mansion has nothing that can be used to blackmail Princess Chen.

Princess Yuan'an nodded understandingly, help... She must help Shao Wanru... If she has nothing to do, she has to find something to help. She must let Shao Wanru see her sincerity...

This starts with the ritual expression...

Shao Wanru was also preparing for the sacrifice. The time was a little rushed and the preparation was not that good. He sent Qing'er to Yuhui Nunnery overnight and asked for a consecrated scripture from the master of Yuhui Nunnery and some other things. Second Early in the morning, he took the people to the Xingguo Hou Mansion.

Shao Yuanhao came directly from the Princess Ruian's Mansion in a while, and the two of them did not arrive together.

Because the ceremony was held for the former Crown Prince of Xingguo and Princess Qinghua, some old friends also came specially to visit. When Shao Wanru came, the scene was already very large and open. This was the first time in Xingguo. The Marquis Mansion hosted a memorial service for the deceased former crown prince of Xingguo Gong and Qinghua County.

After the previous incident, the Xingguo Duke's Mansion did not make any publicity. It just suppressed the matter and said a few words to some clan elders, then let it go. But now, after so many years, such a ritual was held again. It also makes many people think it is ridiculous.

This time it was clear that they were facing Princess Chen. It was only through their daughters that the two of them could hold such a ceremony in the Xingguohou Mansion. It also made people feel more and more that the Xingguo Mansion was cold and cold. They could not afford to have a cup of tea when they left. morning……
