Prince Yue said: "It turns out that I also had my suspicions. Tang Manor is such a big family, not to mention the things they do one by one, there is even a bit of suspicion of being a tyrant in the nest. Now that you have such suspicions, it really can stand."
/p
I said, "Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see. Whether it's the Consort Xian in our family or the current Prime Minister, the Tang Chengjue in the imperial court, they are all chess pieces of the two women in Guan Zhongsheng Village. I know that the Consort Xian has already sided with the Tang Family's Madam, but the Tang Family's Madam doesn't seem like someone who would do such a stupid thing. "
/p
"I think this Consort Xian isn't a clear-headed person. The Tang Family's Madam isn't that kind of person. The Old Madam of the Tang family is a shrewd person. It's even more impossible for her to think of such a despicable method. Looking at it carefully, if the Consort Xian doesn't have a backer, then her brain is muddled and she used such a stupid method."
/p
I held my head in distress, "I thought she was a chess piece." I didn't expect her to be a piece of scrap metal.
/p
Prince Yue said, "If you don't like it, then let her out of the mansion."
/p
I said, "Consort Xian is a noble lady from the Tang family. Letting her out of the mansion is the Prince's benevolence. But will she remember this kindness? Once she leaves the mansion, how will she explain it to the people on the street? If we can't do it secretly, then we can do it openly. But on the surface, the entire Da Qi knows that Consort Xian was betrothed to the Prince by the Emperor. If the Prince does this, it will be the same as slapping the Emperor. "
/p
It will also cause damage to my reputation. But there's no need to say this.
/p
"Then what do you think we should do?"
/p
I said, "Find a medicinal herb and weaken her body. She can only stay in the house every day. When the time comes, let her eat and drink well."
/p
Prince Yue muttered to himself, "The person who poisoned me is the most sinister and evil. He would have wasted a lot of merit points …"
/p
Before he could finish, my butt was already twisting restlessly. In this silent atmosphere, there was a sudden squeak.
/p
Prince Yue glanced at me and muttered to himself, "We can poison him, but you're not allowed to do it. I'll do it."
/p
I flattered him and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter who gets involved."
/p
Prince Yue smiled. "It's the same, but it's not the same. It's not good for a girl to get involved in the affairs of the inner residence. If I do it myself, I won't waste your clean body. "
/p
I said it was the same because if this matter was really spread out, it would fall into other people's mouths. Whether it was Prince Yue or I who did it, this account would be placed on me, the Mistress of the household. Prince Yue said it was the same, but I didn't know what the situation was.
/p
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in my mind. I jokingly said, "Ai, Wangye, I remember someone once said that he disdained to raise his hand against a woman. But this time, why did he listen to me?"
/p
I found something to use against him. I rested my chin on my hand and smiled as I leaned against the armrest. I was very happy.
/p
"If she just knows her place, I'll let it go. But this time, she touched my bottom line. How can I let her stay in the residence?"
/p
So Prince Yue's bottom line is not to be cuckolded. Is he using this as an opportunity to remind me? No matter if he has this idea or not, I'll remember it. After all, I have to live in his territory!
/p
I asked Your Highness, "Your Highness, I'll ask you a question that you don't want to hear. You were the one who dug the Chastity Handkerchief for Consort Xian to jump into. Her reaction should be within your expectations. How can you be so angry?"
/p
Prince Yue's actions, in my opinion, were just using this as a pretext to make a fuss. But I didn't dare to say it out loud.
/p
Prince Yue asked me, "Who told you that I'm doing this for a small concubine?"
/p
I was stumped by his words. In my knowledge, my only opponents were Consort Xian, the Prime Minister's Tang Mansion, and the black-clothed men they raised who liked to kidnap me. Apart from that, there was no one else. Prince Yue said it like this, it seems like there is a strong opponent?
/p
But even if there is a strong opponent, it's not mine. I stood up and said to Your Highness, "Your Highness is far-sighted and thinks about the imperial court. I'm muddle-headed and narrow-minded. I can't compare."
/p
I wanted to slip away. Since it's not a matter of the inner residence or my maternal family, why should I waste my time and effort to get involved?
/p
Prince Yue's eyes. I don't know if it's because of the thick mask, but his eyes are exceptionally deep. Every time he looks at me, I feel like I'm being sucked in. He looked at me for a long time without saying anything. He just stared at me. I thought he was thinking about poisoning me. After a long time, he finally waved his hand, "Don't go. Stay and have a meal with me."
/p
I looked at the dishes on the table. The dishes were all good. There were delicacies from land and sea, meat and vegetables. But the dishes on the table had seen two fights and were already cold. I missed the small kitchen in my room very much, so I tactfully declined, "Your Highness, I'm tired."
/p
Prince Yue walked to the table. He raised his chopsticks and put them down. He said, "Since you're tired, then go back to your room and rest."
/p
There was a hint of unhappiness in his tone.
/p
I thought about it. I still had to show proper etiquette and care for Your Highness. After all, I was his daughter-in-law. I advised, "Your Highness, the dishes on the table are cold. I'll call someone to heat them up for you before you go in."
/p
Prince Yue said, "They're not cold."
/p
I was completely stumped by his two words.
/p
Prince Yue said again, "Didn't you say you were tired and wanted to go and rest?"
/p
Well, he's chasing me away. I hurriedly saluted and stepped out of the room. The sun was strong outside. I squinted and rubbed my nose. It felt like my hand was covered in dust.
/p
The days passed by quickly. During this time, Your Highness was in the study room. I was lazy in my room. I had all the accounts of the Prince's Mansion, but I didn't like to look at them. Every time I listened to the reports, I was lazy and didn't have any energy. After I taught her a lesson, Jiang Gui became an expert at reading people's expressions. Whenever she saw the slightest bit of displeasure on my face, she would serve me tea and water.
/p
With great difficulty, she finished talking about the accounts. When I heard that the money and grain were more or less the same, I waved my hand and had them withdraw. The room was finally quiet again. I asked Jiang Gui, "What about the servants in the Tsukasawa Dō that I ordered before? How is it going?"
/p
"Replying to Your Highness, this servant has already changed all the servants in the Tsukasawa Dō."
/p
I said, "One should leave some room for others. Leave behind two or three decent servants around the Consort Xian and change the rest."
/p
Jiang Gui cautiously asked, "This servant is slow-witted and doesn't know how to choose these two or three people. Would Your Highness please tell me?"
/p
"Since it's the decent servants around the Consort Xian, we aren't her servants. Naturally, we don't know who she approves of. Besides, it's up to the master to choose. Let her choose."
/p
"Yes."
/p
I suddenly remembered something and asked her, "Are we leaving for the Mulan Paddock tomorrow?"
/p
"Yes, Your Highness," Jiang Gui answered me, "Because of the Mulan Paddock? It's no small matter. Wang Ye said that he would take Wang Fei with him, so we servants put in a hundred and twenty percent effort to prepare a carriage for Wang Fei. Clothes, food, and other things have all been prepared. Wang Fei only needs to take people with her. "
/p
I liked hearing these words. I liked these kinds of things that didn't require me to use my hands and brain. Therefore, I praised her, "Smart girl."
/p
"Your Highness has taught me well."
/p
The two of us, master and servant, began to think about the food in the carriage tomorrow. The more I talked, the more I felt that this girl, Jiang Gui, was really a talent! Although she was young, she did everything well. Especially when I heard that she brought a box of osmanthus cakes, I directly praised her several times. But after praising her a few times, she lost her sense of direction. This little girl directly kicked her nose and asked me, "Tomorrow, Your Highness and Your Highness will be going out together. Your Highness said that this servant doesn't need to bring much. Otherwise, if the Emperor sees this servant, he will think that I'm a pampered prince who can't bear hardships! But after all, the mountains are high and the water is far away. Your Highness is a big man, so I'm afraid that he won't be able to think properly when packing things. To be honest, how can a man pack things as well as a woman?
/p
My cheerful expression was still on my face, but my voice was cold. I said, "His Highness has many servant wives and biddies by his side. If even his luggage has to be personally handled by his Highness, then what would be the use of you servants?"
/p
Jiang Guiyi was taken aback. He silently and obediently replied, "Wangfei's teachings are correct."
/p
I enjoyed her massage and comfortably asked, "How many people did Your Highness bring with you?"
/p
"Two personal manservants. The rest of the servant girls and biddies didn't bring a single one."
/p
I narrowed my eyes and asked, "What about my side? Who did you arrange for me?"
/p
Jiang Gui proudly said to me, "Your Highness doesn't need to bring a lot of people. Your Highness only needs to bring me. I alone can replace ten of their servant girls and biddies."
/p
I looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but laugh. But after laughing, I still had to show her the bloody reality. I said, "You're wrong. I can't bring you this time. You have to settle down and help me keep an eye on the movements in the mansion."
/p
Jiang Gui withered and said with grievance, "Your Highness, in the past, even when Your Highness went to Nanjiang to fight, everyone in the mansion took care of their own duties. The mansion operated very well. There was no need to specially assign people to watch over it."
/p
"Today is different from the past. There is a female master in the mansion."
/p
"The female master and the male master both have to go out. The servants will naturally take care of the mansion."
/p
I asked her, "Didn't you forget one person?"
/p
Jiang Gui said, "Tsukasawa Dō is now listlessly lying in bed every day. Just tell the servant girls to watch over her. Why do you need us servants to watch over her?"
/p
"Will she go back to her maternal home in the next few days?"
/p
"She's so sick that she can't even get up. How can she go back to her maternal home?"
/p
I was puzzled. Your Highness personally took care of her, but the medicine was so strong?
/p
"Your Highness, don't worry," Jiang Gui comforted me, "She's just a concubine. What can she do?"
/p
I was slowly convinced by her. Yes, the Tang family thought about it. Tang Chengjue was assigned to the Mulan hunting grounds. The women in the mansion didn't have any chess pieces in their hands. They shouldn't be able to act rashly. Looking at Jiang Gui's longing expression, I finally nodded and allowed her to follow.
/p
The next day, the sky was bright. The autumn weather was cool and refreshing. Taking a few breaths was very comfortable. But when I was carried to the gate and saw the procession of carriages and horses, alarm bells rang in my heart. I grabbed Jiang Gui next to me and asked, "Your Highness, are you not going to ride a horse?"
/p
Jiang Gui smiled slyly at me, "Your Highness is going to ride a carriage. Your Highness will naturally follow."
