The prince left a small courtyard in the East Palace for Princess Changle, named Youranju.
When King Chen was granted the title of Prince and built his mansion, he also left a courtyard in the mansion for Princess Changle, which was also named Youran Ju.
The other princes saw it and then built a courtyard for Changle in the mansion.
Therefore, the story that Princess Changle was favored by her father and brother spread throughout the capital.
"Thank you, Brother Three Emperors. I will go to the mansion to have a look another day." Princess Changle bowed and responded.
King Chen took over the message: "When the time comes, Changle can invite Ah Wei."
Ning Wei: "..."
Ning Wei was speechless in response to King Chen's invitation.
Princess Changle looked at Ning Wei who was speechless, smiled and said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about this later. Brother Three Emperors, you guys talk, I will take Ah Wei in first."
King Chen nodded, "Go!"
Princess Changle pulled Ning Wei inside, entered the room, closed the door, and asked in a low voice: "A Wei, you have a problem with Brother Three Emperors? Why is Brother Three Emperors staring at you?"
Ning Wei shook his head and said: "To be precise, I have an affair with King Chen's concubine."
"Concubine Ning? Your half-sister?"
Ning Wei nodded, not wanting to continue the topic, and said, "What color rouge did the princess buy? Let's take a look."
Princess Changle saw that Ning Wei didn't want to say more, so she stopped asking and walked to the table, "They are all here, Ah Wei, come and take a look."
King Chen watched the inner door close, withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Ning Yu, and asked about his homework.
Ning Yu leaned forward and answered one by one.
After hearing this, King Chen nodded slightly, and then said: "Three days later, I will hold a cultural gathering in my mansion and invite everyone present to come and support me. When I turn around, I will send the posts to everyone's mansions."
The prince personally invited the invitation, and even though everyone was unwilling to do so, they could not refuse directly and had no choice but to thank him.
When King Chen saw that everyone agreed, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."
Everyone stood up and sent each other off.
When King Chen walked away, Lu Pengfei took the lead and turned around and walked into the house. As he walked, he asked, "It's so good, why did King Chen invite us to the banquet?"
This group of people avoided Chen Wang and his family.
Yuan Yunze picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea, and said lightly: "He is the prince, what reason do you need?"
Lu Pengfei leaned back in his chair and murmured: "Yes! He is the prince, will you go to the banquet?"
Yuan Yunze glanced at Lu Pengfei and said, "What? You're not going? Being a human being is also a skill. Go, go!"
Lu Pengfei looked at Ning Yu and asked, "Where is Yingzhe? Are you going?"
Ning Yu put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Go ahead. Brother Yuan is right, practicing human relations is also a skill, so you should go and practice it."
King Chen came out of Magnolia Pavilion, followed by Lu Ming, and returned to the previous private room.
After entering the house, King Chen asked: "Have you found out? Why did Ning Yu offend the people in the Chengguo Palace?"
Lu Ming leaned forward and said, "We have found out. To be precise, it was not Mr. Ning who offended the people of Duke Chengguo's palace, but Miss Ning who offended the people of Duke Chengguo's palace."
Ning Wei's indifferent and indifferent look immediately appeared in King Chen's mind, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "Oh? Ning Wei offended Mrs. Cui of the Chengguo Palace? Why?"
"It seems to be because of Miss Wu's marriage..." Lu Ming reported everything he learned to King Chen.
King Chen stood in front of the window with his hands folded, looking at the passers-by on the street. "So, Shi Jingyang abandoned his childhood sweetheart, Miss Wu, and instead wanted to marry Ning Wei, thus angering Mrs. Cui?"
Lu Ming leaned forward and said, "It should be like this."
King Chen fell into deep thought and said after a moment: "Check Ning Wei."
"Miss Channing?"
King Chen looked at the confused Lu Ming and explained patiently: "Ning Wei is not as simple as she appears to be able to make Shi Jingyang fall in love."
Lu Ming bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand. By the way, I just met the Second Master Shen from the Suiyang Mansion."
A trace of disgust flashed in King Chen's eyes, "Is he also in Fanlou?"
Lu Ming replied: "Yes, together with Second Master Shen, there are also two young masters from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest son from the Commander Liu's Mansion, Commander of the Army and Horses in the north of the city, and the eldest son from Mo Shaoyin's Mansion in Jingzhao Mansion. The younger one is listening.
The young masters were making noises, as if they were saying that Second Master Shen was pleased with Miss Ning, and that several young masters were giving Second Master Shen advice."
"Oh!" King Chen said with a little more interest in his eyes: "Send a post to each of Shen Er and the others, inviting them to attend the cultural gathering in three days."
Lu Ming bowed and responded, "Yes, I have written it down."
King Chen continued: "Chang Le's birthday is coming soon. When I go back to the mansion, I will ask people to tidy up Youran House. In three days, I will hold a birthday party for Chang Le in advance at the mansion."
Lu Ming instantly understood what his master meant, "Okay, I will make arrangements immediately when I return home."
At the Duke Cheng's Mansion, Huang Qiang, the steward next to the Duke, leaned over and reported to Mrs. Cui: "It's about to be done. Who knew I would meet Princess Changle.
Along with Princess Changle, in addition to the guards given by the emperor, there are also a group of secret guards from the Yuan family. When Liu Dundun's people encounter these people, they have no power to fight back."
Mrs. Cui fell silent after knowing that the operation failed again.
Seeing Mrs. Cui's silence, Manager Huang hurriedly explained: "Over at Jingzhao Mansion, I said hello, and Master Fu Yin treated Liu Dundun and others as rogues, and gave each of them ten slaps as a warning.
Then he was released without further investigation."
Mrs. Cui nodded, "This is like this in advance, and we will look for opportunities later."
Manager Huang bowed and said, "Yes, I'll take my leave."
After Manager Huang left, Mrs. Cui leaned back in her chair and said dejectedly: "I can't do anything to her."
Nanny Shi lowered her hands and advised: "Don't be discouraged, old lady. Just now Manager Huang said that if we hadn't met Princess Changle today, this matter would have been settled. Next time, they won't have such good luck."
Aunt Shi was responsible for the housekeeping in the courtyard. Aunt Qiao and Aunt Sun fell ill one after another, so she had the opportunity to enter the house to serve them.
Grandma Shi cherished the current opportunity and tried her best to cater to Mrs. Cui, hoping to please Mrs. Cui so that she could be reused.
Seeing Mrs. Cui's sullen face, Grandma Shi said softly, "Madam, relax, since the Duke has pointed out Mr. Huang to you, he has acquiesced in this matter. With Mr. Huang here, such things can't be done."
It’s not difficult. What we’re waiting for is just an opportunity.”
Mrs. Cui took a long breath and said, "You are right. I am waiting for the right time and I am in a hurry. This matter must be considered in the long run."
Mother Shi nodded repeatedly, "Old Madam, you are wise. Our Duke's office needs power, power, and people. As long as we have some strategy, we will definitely be able to get things done."
Mrs. Cui raised her head and looked at Mother Shi, "You are smart. You didn't notice it before. You should be by your side to serve you from now on."
Mother Shi bowed down and said, "Thank you, old lady. I will serve you with all my heart and soul."
