Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Chapter 158 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (37)

It was already springtime indoors, but outside, Eunuch Li and his group were in a state of panic.

Xiao Yinzi and Xiao Yuanzi were stopped by a little maid before they could even reach the eldest princess.

He could only inquire with the maid, but unexpectedly he learned a shocking secret: the person inside was not an ordinary official lady, but -

The young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion!

A single word caused a thousand waves. After hearing it, the two looked at each other and saw the collapse in each other's eyes. What kind of thing is this?

So the two of them ran back in a hurry. They couldn't make a decision on this matter, so the godfather had to take action himself.

Look, Eunuch Li is also at a loss, a little panicked!

"Godfather, Godfather, what should I do?"

When Eunuch Li came to his senses, he saw that his two godsons were like ants on a hot pan, running around anxiously in front of him.

When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but frowned. Why were these two people so immature that they panicked when encountering big things? So he scolded them.

"Why are you panicking? This is the master's business. How can we servants interfere?"

"Also, why are you two so timid and panicky? How disgraceful!"

Xiao Yinzi and Xiao Yuanzi, who were scolded by him, looked bitter and wrinkled like twisted dough sticks. They were young and had never experienced such a thing.

"Godfather, we all know we are wrong. Please take a look at this matter. What should we do?"

Xiao Yinzi was scolded and admitted his mistakes repeatedly, but after admitting his mistakes, he still wanted to know how they should deal with this matter.

Eunuch Li pondered for a moment, and finally made the decision: "This matter cannot be made public. The princess did not show up at all, but she was able to make all the calculations. I believe she knows what is going on."

"Well, Xiao Yinzi, when you go to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for instructions, you must add at the end that the Emperor wants us not to make it public."

"We just need to fence this place off and guard it well. Don't let even a fly fly out, let alone let anyone come in. Wait until the emperor wakes up and make the decision."

Xiao Yinzi nodded and ran towards the direction of the eldest princess. He was not called "Speedy" for nothing, and soon he arrived at the main hall of the princess's mansion.

When he came back again, Eunuch Li felt relieved when he saw him nod, and they waited together in the yard.

They were always very curious, but at this moment they were very quiet and didn't dare to say a word.

There are so many people and they all talk a lot. Who knows if someone will spread their words? If that happens, not only will they be beaten with a stick, they may even be beheaded.

During the hot summer, Eunuch Li brought everyone here to wait. The guards' foreheads were covered with sweat, and no one dared to go to the shade to rest.

The cicada's chirping was a bit harsh, and Eunuch Li was afraid of disturbing the nobles inside, so he specially asked someone to knock the cicada down.

I don't know how long it took, but no one came out of the room. However, the eldest princess came late, and there was no one behind her. I guess the party was over.

The eldest princess looked at Eunuch Li and his companions, who were exposed to the scorching sun. Her eyes flickered and she smiled with her big red lips raised.

"Hey, Eunuch Li, why don't you find a shady place? So many people are suffering together. I really can't entertain you well enough."

Eunuch Li was also good at saying different things to different people, so he also smiled and spoke with a laugh.

"We are all doing things for the Emperor. No matter how hot the weather is, we servants feel honored."

Eunuch Li's pretentious words made the eldest princess' smile freeze for a moment, and she cursed in her heart, "What a pretentious old fox."

Eunuch Li had no intention of speaking again, which made the princess feel a little awkward. She waited for a while, but her pampered body could not stand it.

"I just finished the banquet and specially left the Prime Minister's wife and the eldest young master in the side hall. I didn't think enough to leave the guests there alone."

"I will go and see them and talk to them. If my brother comes out later, let Cui Ju come to see me."

The eldest princess was not willing to wait with them. The effect of her medicine was very strong and the woman was particularly seductive, so it would take some time to end.

Although the sun was already setting, it was still very hot. If she continued to wait in the scorching heat, her face would definitely get sunburned.

But Eunuch Li heard something else: "Thank you, Princess Chang, for your thoughtfulness."

The two people from the Prime Minister's Mansion were specially retained by the Princess, and other irrelevant people were dismissed. Isn't this solving the problem for the Emperor?

That's why Eunuch Li praised her for her thoughtfulness.

Today's matter is linked to each other. If even one of the links is missing, it will not be so easy to accomplish. The princess is really good at calculating!

The eldest princess covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, then walked away leisurely. She clearly didn't say anything, but it seemed as if she had said everything.

This was probably the tacit understanding between smart people. The two of them understood each other tacitly, as if they were playing a riddle, but they both understood what each other was saying.

……

The eldest princess returned to her bedroom and did not go to the side hall to find the Prime Minister's party.

What a joke! She just wanted to delay them. Wouldn't it be too degrading for her to go with them herself?

Anyway, this is the Princess's residence, she doesn't believe they dare to do anything, so she just tells them to wait. How can someone who accomplishes great things not have a little patience?

At this moment, someone knocked on her door. The eldest princess was startled. Who could be knocking on her door at this time?

"Xiang'er."

The eldest princess put down the pearl hairpin in her hand and looked at the beauty in the mirror. Her face was no longer young and there were even fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

Xiang Er looked at the person who came and hurriedly replied to the princess: "Your Highness, it's the Prince Consort and the Little Prince."

When the princess heard Xiang'er's report, she found out that it was the prince consort and Xiao Heng who came together. She didn't know what they were here for, and she had a feeling that things were not simple.

"Please invite them in quickly, and get some people to guard outside the door to prevent anyone from overhearing."

The eldest princess gave the order in a deep voice. She had always been a cautious person. The only time she acted on impulse was when she married her current prince consort, but it was not a good marriage.

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Everything is fate and no one has any control over it.

The eldest princess looked through the mirror and saw two equally tall figures approaching her. They had similar faces and even their movements were very consistent.

She secretly sighed in her heart, they are indeed father and son, they look so alike.

As she was sighing with emotion, the two men performed the usual courtesy towards her and bowed together.

"Meet the Princess (mother)."

One calls her the eldest princess, the other calls her mother. The closeness of their relationship is vividly reflected at this moment.

"Well, what do you want from me? What commotion happened at the banquet?"

After thinking about it, this was the only reason that could make the two of them come together. Otherwise, she couldn't figure out what the Prince Consort and Heng'er could want from her no matter how hard she tried.

"Your Highness, Heng'er and I found a courtyard where someone was doing something shameful. But the person's status is noble, I wonder if the princess knows about it?"

The prince consort has already guessed the emperor's identity, but he doesn't know who the woman the emperor favors is. He is afraid that something might happen in the princess's mansion, which might lead to enmity.

Xiao Heng directly stated the answer he guessed. He had been with the male guests and knew that Xie Changling had married a new wife, but he had not had the chance to see her today.

However, the eldest princess deliberately kept Xie Changling and ignored the other guests. It was hard not to think too much, so she asked.

"My son has a guess in his mind. Mother deliberately kept the two people from the Prime Minister's Mansion. My son, remember, the Prime Minister's Mansion just married a new bride today..."

Xiao Heng made it clear that he guessed that the woman the emperor favored was the young lady of the prime minister's mansion. His guess left the prince consort dumbfounded.

The prince consort was a little bit unbelievable. He didn't expect that the princess would be so bold as to directly present the young lady of the prime minister's mansion to the emperor!

He hoped that his guess was nonsense. After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion was not someone to be trifled with. The Prime Minister was an old fox and had many ways to torture people.

Moreover, if the emperor knew that he had favored a woman, that woman was personally arranged by him to marry a woman from the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Then when the emperor wakes up and learns the identity of that woman, will he feel slapped in the face and start to take action against the princess's mansion?

The eldest princess's move was a risky one. If she made a wrong move, she would be targeted by many forces and would make enemies on all sides.

Thinking of this, the prince consort hurriedly tried to persuade the princess. He was a conservative man, and his behavior was very old-fashioned. He could not accept the princess's approach at all.

He began to persuade them earnestly, saying that if they returned the person early, explained the situation to the Emperor, and asked for forgiveness from the Prime Minister's Office, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

"Your Highness, that woman is the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, right? If the Emperor knew about this, he would be furious. If this involves the Princess' Mansion and our Heng'er, the consequences would be disastrous."

"Ah--"

After hearing what the husband said, the princess smiled coldly. Her eyes were very cold, and she became more and more disappointed with the husband. How could she fall in love with such a cowardly man?

"Prince Consort, are you worried about implicating our Heng'er, or are you worried about being retaliated against?"

The eldest princess pointed out the prince consort's hypocritical thoughts and tore off his hypocritical face, leaving him no face at all.

The prince consort's face became more and more ugly. He glanced at Xiao Heng and saw that his only son also began to question him, and he felt panic in his heart.

He is no longer humane, let alone having children. Xiao Heng is his only child, and will be the one to take care of him in his old age. He cannot be treated with contempt like this.

The prince consort hastily denied it, but his hasty denial made it seem even more fake: "Of course not, how could it be possible? I... I'm just worried about Heng'er."

Xiao Heng withdrew his disappointed look. He had been close to the eldest princess since he was a child. Later, he was brought into the palace to be educated and had no chance to get along with his father.

It may be that people are more attractive when they are far away but smell worse when they are close. Because the eldest princess disciplined him more and the prince consort was the one who persuaded him, he naturally liked his father more.

For this reason, he often secretly resented his mother for being too strong.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Just as Xiao Heng was deep in thought, the eldest princess interrupted his thoughts. She didn't want to raise a ungrateful person.

After all, everything I did was for him. If even Xiao Heng doesn't acknowledge me, then no matter how scheming I have, I will still end up with nothing.

"Heng'er, what do you think?"

The eldest princess' voice was very low, and one could tell she was unhappy. Xiao Heng's mind was racing, and he racked his brains to come up with an answer.

"My son is stupid. I know that my mother has her own reasons for doing all this. I am willing to take responsibility for my mother. If the uncle wants to punish me, let him punish me!"

What Xiao Heng said touched the heart of the princess. Because of the matter of her prince consort, the princess felt particularly insecure and always wanted to get rewards from Xiao Heng.

Now Xiao Heng said that he was willing to bear all the blame for her. Doesn't that mean that she was very important to Xiao Heng?

The eldest princess's face was filled with relief, not realizing that this was just Xiao Heng's talk. If that time really came, he would run faster than anyone else.

But the eldest princess now had no idea that her son would be so irresponsible. She was moved and told him her plan.

"My dear son, your mother's love for you is not in vain. Remember, everything your mother does now is for you. Listen to me carefully..."

……

Over there, the eldest princess was revealing her plan, and in the courtyard, the sudden rain had just stopped.

No matter what happened outside, the sweat of the two people inside was intertwined.

Xiao Jin kissed Song Lingxi's tearful eyes and her slightly embarrassed little mouth, then he smiled with satisfaction.

"Xi'er, are you feeling better?"

Xiao Jin looked at her eyes that were about to close, and with one movement, he woke her up again and pulled her back from the edge of sleep.

"Husband, stop making trouble. Xier is sleepy~"

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature of the air around them dropped by two degrees. Xiao Jin stopped and stared at her intently.

However, Song Lingxi seemed not to be able to sense his gaze. She was still in a daze, drunken and tired after working for so long. She was even more sleepy and was about to fall asleep.

So such a strange scene appeared. Every time Song Lingxi called "husband", Xiao Jin became more stimulated, until finally, Song Lingxi could not bear it anymore and passed out.

But her casual words made Xiao Jin jealous. What husband? What a joke. Xier can only have herself by her side!

She would be his only queen, bearing children for him alone, and no one could take her away from him, no one!

Xiao Jin concealed the bitterness in his eyes, and what followed was rage. His every move was filled with this emotion, which made Song Lingxi unable to sleep peacefully.

Xiao Jin kissed Song Lingxi's eyes lovingly and held her tightly in his arms. His panicked heart gradually calmed down.

His eyes were full of possession, that kind of reckless madness. If anyone saw it, they would surely be terrified and worried.

Xiao Jin is a madman. He used to have no one he wanted to protect, but he could manage a country in an orderly manner casually.

Now that he has someone he wants to protect in his heart, he is more like a divine beast guarding a treasure and will not allow anyone to take the darling girl in his arms away.

"Xi'er..."
