Chapter 645: Princess Zhou in the Previous Life
"Mrs. Xingguo, don't you check? It must be something from the palace?" Princess Yuan'an raised her eyes and asked curiously, as if it was just a casual question.
"Of course we need to investigate, but since this matter concerns the Madam, we have to start from the Madam's side!" Mrs. Xingguo shied away with a dry smile.
"Although it's more convenient to start the investigation from Mrs. Tai's side, how dare she be so bold?" Princess Yuan'an said as she looked at the maids and mothers in the yard.
The expression on Mrs. Xingguo's face was almost frozen. Although they were all maids and mothers-in-law, each of these maids and mothers-in-law was involved with other servants in the mansion. If these were all dealt with, the entire Xingguo country would be affected. There will be no peace in the palace, and many things will even happen.
And these people can’t stand up to the investigation!
It is absolutely forbidden to check like this, but if Shao Wanru said this, she, as an elder, could still blame it on the Dowager. But it was Princess Yuanan who said this, and Mrs. Xingguo regretted it at this time. The Princess Yuan'an brought her here, originally thinking she was a witness to Shao Wanru's cruelty and rudeness.
Princess Yuan'an could see that Shao Wanru disrespected his elders and insulted the people given by his elders on the first day he entered the mansion. Unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot at this time!
"Come here, lock these people up first, and don't allow them to meet anyone until the matter comes to light!" Mrs. Xingguo had to say through gritted teeth.
I thought about confusing this matter before, but now it is definitely not possible to push out only the mother-in-law. When I go back, I have to discuss with my daughter how many people to push out, and which people are suitable to push out, but there are many people to push out. As the head of the family, she The more my mother would be criticized, thinking that others would definitely accuse her of bad intentions behind her back, made Duke Xingguo so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
The incident happened in front of Princess Yuan'an, and what was stolen was a reward from the palace. Originally, she wanted to use a woman as the scapegoat to fool her, but Princess Yuan'an has already spoken, and this matter cannot be trivialized. It's a trivial matter. I'm sure the Queen Mother will ask about it in person one day. If my family members can't give an answer then, they will be scolded by the Queen Mother!
"Madam, it is indeed fair!" Princess Yuan'an smiled slightly, looking at the maid and mother-in-law who were taken away by a group of people, her eyes were pleased, and then turned to Shao Wanru, looking up and down as if she had just seen her, After looking at her for a few times, he said slowly: "Are you the granddaughter of the eldest princess Ruian and the fifth lady of the Xingguo Duke's mansion?"
Shao Wanru bowed sideways and nodded politely.
"I am the granddaughter of the eldest princess Ruiping, Princess Yuan'an!" Princess Yuan'an's expression was quite gentle, and her eyes fell on Shao Wanru. There was no trace of happiness or anger, and the obvious contempt in her eyes had faded. On the contrary, I was a little curious.
Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat. She remembered who Princess Yuan'an was. She was the princess of Chu Liuzhou, the future princess of Zhou. She had long heard that she was dignified and decent, handled business matters, and was well-received among the ladies of the aristocratic family.
In her last life, Princess Yuan'an was indeed married to Chu Liuzhou, and she almost ascended to the position of Crown Princess. If Chu Liuzhou hadn't rebelled later, she would have been the Crown Princess in her previous life. Shao Wanru was in the palace at that time. Although she had never met Princess Zhou, her reputation in the palace was not bad.
But something happened later, and King Zhou was defeated and killed by mistake. Although Princess Yuan'an, who almost stepped into the position of crown princess, was fine, she was childless and fell into power, guarding the declining Zhou Dynasty. The palace.
Until her death, Princess Yuanan was still alive.
"Greetings to Princess Yuan'an!" Shao Wanru saluted again without much surprise.
Although my grandmother and the eldest princess Ruiping were both princesses, they were not very close. The eldest princess Ruiping married a son of a noble family and later inherited the title. Her life was quite smooth. Not only did she have a son, but she also had a family. She has a daughter, and now she also has grandchildren and granddaughters. Princess Yuanan was even made a princess not long after she was born.
It can be said that she is both honorable and powerful. She is actually the best choice for the prince's concubine. She is even better than Shao Yanru. After all, she is a real princess with a fiefdom.
"Although you are the granddaughter of the eldest princess, you can't do things too well. Mrs. Xingguo is always the head of the Duke Xingguo's mansion!" Princess Yuan'an smiled and returned the salute, looking extremely kind. Although her words didn't sound pleasant, coupled with her kind attitude, it was still acceptable.
As she is a descendant of the eldest princess, her words of advice are very convincing, and she also feels that she is sensible and sensible. Even though she is of royal blood, she does not use her power to bully others.
On the contrary, the Shao Wanru in front of him, just because of these words, immediately made people feel a little more assertive, even though the previous incident was clearly the fault of Mrs. Xingguo.
The face of Mrs. Xingguo, who had been standing stiffly beside her with a smile, became relaxed, and her expression was as bright as a spring breeze.
"Thank you, Princess Princess, for your teachings!" Shao Wanru raised his eyebrows slightly and bowed respectfully to Princess Yuan'an. Although his face looked angry, he was still very well-behaved. After the salute, he bowed his head He lowered his head slightly and looked like he was all ears.
Both are descendants of the eldest princess. Even though Princess Yuan'an has the title of princess, they are of the same generation and have met for the first time. This so-called teaching is a bit strange, and then think about the look on Shao Wanru's face. He had a look of indignation, but he had to suppress it and obey Princess Yuan'an's wishes, which made Princess Yuan'an look like a kind-hearted one who bullied others.
Princess Yuan'an's eyes fell on Shao Wanru's slightly lowered head calmly, and her brows wrinkled slightly. She didn't expect Shao Wanru to be so difficult to deal with. She thought that with her name as princess Suppressing her, unexpectedly, just two words made people feel that he was the one who had the advantage.
Fortunately, this was only the Xingguo Duke's mansion. If she had said the same two sentences in the palace, she might not be able to get along well. The look in her eyes became wary, and she no longer dared to look down on this outstanding-looking cousin.
After all, Shao Wanru was indeed her cousin, but she didn't care about her at all before. Even though she was outstanding and beautiful, she was just a beautiful toy, but now, she no longer dared to peep at her. The Miss Shao Wu in front of me.
"What do you mean by teaching or not? We are also cousins, so there is no need to be polite. Today I came to the mansion to see Miss Shao, so I won't say anything more to you. Next time I come to the mansion, I will definitely come to visit you!" Yuan'an County The Lord smiled, as if he didn't see Shao Wanru's silent resistance, and his attitude was extremely friendly.
She really wants to talk to Shao Wan as if she were a sister.
"Princess Yuan'an, you're so polite. I'm here for the first time. It's a mess here. Even a few servants are gone. If the princess comes over in the future, she will sweep the bed to treat you!" Shao Wanru He raised his head, his eyes were also soft and gentle, as if the anger just now was just someone else's mistake.
What she said was the truth. There were originally a lot of servants in the courtyard, but now they have all been taken away. The only ones left are the few she had before. The manpower is far from enough, and they have just returned to the mansion. It is true. Inconvenient to entertain guests.
"It's okay, then I'll come visit you next time. By the way, I'm holding a banquet in a few days. Why don't I give you a post and you can come over then, so we can get close to each other!" Princess Yuan'an He suggested with a smile.
"This...I'm afraid it won't work. I'm still keeping filial piety for my parents!" Shao Wanru refused awkwardly.
"Oh, that's right. It's my fault. I didn't expect this, so I can only wait until you are a filial piety. I originally wanted to introduce you to other ladies from aristocratic families!" Princess Yuan'an disagreed. The way of having no regrets.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess!" Shao Wanru said softly.
The two of them talked happily, and after saying a few words of love, Princess Yuan'an said goodbye with a smile. Watching her and Mrs. Xingguo leave, the smile on Shao Wanru's face gradually faded. He stood down and looked at Princess Yuan'an's back with deep eyes, thoughtfully.
In her last life, she was not familiar with Princess Yuan'an. She only heard that this Princess had an excellent reputation. Even if King Zhou was defeated later, she would be fine. She also heard a rumor, But she doesn’t know if it’s true or false, and now she can’t remember where she heard it or who said it to her.
I heard that Princess Yuan'an's horoscope is extremely valuable. If this rumor is true, then it would be no different for her to become Princess Zhou.
But in her last life, she had never heard that Princess Yuan'an was close to Shao Yanru. Later, when Shao Yanru tortured her for various reasons in the palace, she did not see Princess Yuan'an by Shao Yanru's side. Expecting to be reborn, she actually saw Princess Yuan'an at the Xingguo Duke's Mansion in the morning, which really surprised her!
In just a few words, Princess Yuan'an's attitude changed several times, from indifference when they first met, to the last kiss, during which she even suppressed herself, as if she didn't know that she was observing filial piety and invited herself to attend. He held a banquet and said that he would help introduce other ladies from aristocratic families. The various things he talked about were really mind-blowing.
"Fifth Miss, please be careful about Princess Yuan'an!" Aunt Zheng walked out at some point and stood behind Shao Wanru. She also looked at the back of Princess Yuan'an as she left, her brows furrowed tightly.
"Why did Grandma say that?" Shao Wanru put away the doubts in her eyes and turned to Grandma Zheng and asked. She suspected Princess Yuanan because of what happened in her previous life, so what was Grandma Zheng doing for her.
"Princess Yuan'an is one of the Queen Mother's favorite juniors. In the past, when she entered the palace, she always liked to chat with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also liked to listen to the gossips of Princess Yuan'an. Every time Princess Yuanan When the Lord enters the palace, he can make the Queen Mother happy."
Aunt Zheng said as she spoke.
This means that Princess Yuan'an can speak well in front of the Queen Mother! Someone who can speak well in front of the Queen Mother, and who is not from the Xingguo Palace. It seems that Princess Yuan'an's visit to the Xingguo Palace is not accidental, but I don't know whether it is Shao Yanru or Yuan'an. The princess did it.
In other words, the two of them worked together, otherwise it was such a coincidence that just after he came to the house, he met Princess Yuan'an who was very eloquent in front of the Queen Mother. At this time, it was the Queen Mother who gave him the opportunity. When Duke Xingguo’s government supported him...
The smile on her lips was a bit deep, what a coincidence!
