"Why are there so many people?" Princess Xinping said in surprise, even though she had all kinds of worries, she was still startled by the scene in front of her.
In the alley in front of the gate of Prince Dai's Mansion, cattle carts came one after another. They were all official cars painted in red and tung oil. There were also guards with jingling swords. The cattle carts were even more luxurious, with gold curtains and a circle of green -
-Only officials of third rank or above can sit here, and they must be noble people.
On the flat ground not far from the alley, there is a reed shed specially built by someone for oxcarts to park and feed fodder. It was originally very spacious, but the oxcarts poured in one after another, almost blocking it. As for the guests coming in and out, it was even worse.
Much more.
Before arriving, she had prepared that the front door of Prince Dai's Mansion would not be crowded but would not be too crowded, but she did not expect that the situation was very different from what she thought.
Didn't everyone say that the current situation of the acting king is unclear, and everyone wants to avoid suspicion?
The female officer left for a while, then quickly came back and explained in a low voice: "Princess, I have already asked you. The emperor just rewarded the king and said that he would also come to see the young prince, so these people are here."
Some of these guests must not have planned to come, but the emperor rewarded him generously and came in person, as if he took it very seriously. It is the instinct of these people to adapt to the wind, and even those who didn't want to come would definitely come in a hurry.
Princess Xinping nodded in understanding: "Go in."
The main gate, which had been closed for an unknown period of time, was opened to welcome the distinguished guests. Some people's ox carts could take the opportunity to drive straight in. Princess Xinping was no exception. The female official opened the way, and a housekeeper came up to greet the distinguished guests.
"Princess, please come in, please enter the cabinet."
Princess Xinping followed the housekeeper, walked along the corridor, passed by a rockery pond, and was almost there when she first heard the voices of her two brothers.
With a faint smile, Princess Xinping walked over to meet the King of Shu and King Qi.
"Xinping, why are you here? Isn't it quiet in the Taoist temple outside the capital?" King Qi saw it and asked directly. Rather than being straightforward, it was better to say that he didn't care about the princess at all.
A princess who is favored by the Holy Family is still a princess and cannot be on the stage, not to mention the princess whose favor by the Holy Family has declined.
Obviously, she had some interest in King Dai before. Not only people outside the palace believed it, but also the King of Shu and King Qi. They even added fuel to the flames. None of these "brothers" were merciless and wanted to use this matter to attack King Dai.
Princess Xinping grew up pampered, and her temper was not allowed to be manipulated by others. As soon as King Qi said these words, she changed her color slightly and sneered: "Brother can come, why can't I come?"
What I said is quite bold.
King Qi was choked by Princess Xinping, his expression changed, and he was about to get angry.
Fortunately, I soon saw the face of King Shu, with a smile on his face. He looked at himself and Princess Xinping without saying a word, looking like he wanted to fight immediately. It was really hateful and annoying!
"Yes, yes, my brother said it wrong. If I can come, you can come too." King Qi suppressed his anger. The staff in the government were alienated and everyone was in danger. He also reflected on it. Originally, when he saw Xinping, he was used to sarcastic
, now that we are really on the same page, we can tolerate it a little bit.
"Huh?"
Seeing this, Princess Xinping secretly felt that this brother was a little more serious, so she smiled and said nothing.
After all, today is a grand day for the Prince Dai's palace. If we quarrel with Prince Qi at this time, wouldn't this cause trouble for Prince Dai?
Moreover, the father and the queen will also come, how can I get into this bad luck?
Doesn’t King Qi also have such scruples?
However, even if her father comes, she is too lazy to play the role of brother and sister with these two people.
Just the thought of having intimate interactions with their brothers and sisters made Princess Xinping feel sick in her heart.
Especially her two brothers, who clearly wished that Dai Wang's palace would be in trouble immediately, but they still had to come because the emperor was coming.
With such a smiling face and angry heart, Princess Xinping was so tired for them.
Just as I was thinking about it, there were footsteps coming from inside, and along with the footsteps there was the sound of a baby's babbling.
Child?
As soon as Princess Xinping heard this voice, she immediately turned her head and looked around. The first thing that came into her sight was not a child, but a tightly wrapped woman.
The woman was about the same age as her, and her appearance was not as stunning as hers. She was a little bit worse than her. She was wearing very ordinary formal attire for a princess. Whether it was her dress or anything else, she was no different from the other princesses she had seen.
But there was a happy smile on her face at the moment, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.
Just walking over, the oncoming breath took Princess Xinping's breath away.
It’s Ye Buhui!
Princess Xinping was in a daze for a moment before she recognized Ye Buhui.
She had met Ye Buhui before. No, not only had they met, they had also experienced being stopped and killed in the street together. But at that time, although Ye Buhui was already the wife of the king, the king was not the king at that time.
Ye Buhui is not yet the princess, and her feelings are very different from now.
There was a hint of motherhood in her body, and the aura of happiness was stronger than then.
It's really... uncomfortable.
This emotion was like lava that suddenly surged up. It was so hot that her chest hurt, and she couldn't suppress it at all.
She could only try her best to smile. Ye Buhui rushed over and said, "Princess Dai, is this the young prince?"
King Qi and King Shu turned their attention to Princess Xinping when Princess Dai came out. At this time, they saw that she seemed untouched and even greeted Princess Dai with a smile. They suddenly felt bored.
They thought Xinping could have a stalemate with Princess Dai at this moment. If so, they would have fun today.
Of course, more importantly, it can really be labeled as an aunt-nephew affair.
Perhaps for the emperor, this was not unusual. It was said that in the previous dynasty, the empress had sent a daughter of the clan to the emperor. But if you were not the emperor, this scandal could bring down almost anyone.
The King of Shu felt regretful: "The scandal between Xinping and Dai Wang was spread everywhere that day, so my father became angry and asked Xinping to go to the Taoist Temple."
"Can I use this trick again to disgust the next king?"
Then he shook his head secretly.
"I'm afraid it won't work. Xinping seems to be much calmer than before, so I probably won't be fooled again."
"The king now has a wife and children, and is once again being favored by his father. After the previous night raid, I am afraid he will be even more vigilant."
Of course, the most important thing is that Xinping was checked by a female official last time and she was a virgin. The emperor was furious because of this. He severely investigated the rumor mongers, killed a group of people, and warned himself secretly.
If he spreads the same rumors again, his father may not tolerate it. After all, Xinping is also the emperor's daughter, and such rumors will also damage the image of the royal family.
"If you act rashly, I'm afraid you will be caught. Unfortunately, it would be great if King Qi could take action." King Shu's eyes fell on King Qi again, and King Qi seemed to be aware of it and looked towards him.
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.
King Qi's behavior was somewhat different from the past, which made King Shu feel even more uneasy.
"King Qi was injured and his job was taken away. His temper has calmed down? It's really a ghost."
There are of course undercurrents surging between the two, and there are actually some undercurrents between Princess Xinping and Princess Ye Buhui.
"I've met the princess." Ye Buhui was very polite to Princess Xinping. They were not strangers, and Xinping was a princess, so naturally he bowed slightly: "Yes, this is Abao."
"Abao?"
Ye Buhui pursed his lips and said with a smile: "My husband and I gave him the nickname."
