Although I only met His Highness the King of Yan twice, it is not difficult to see that under his open-minded temperament, he is actually quite cautious in his words and deeds. Moreover, he has been stationed in the North all year round, and the situation is not easy. It is said that he must be vigilant.
To be higher than ordinary people...
Would such a person really let himself get drunk without any scruples when he returned to Beijing after eighteen years?
Furthermore, she once heard her grandfather say that he often drank with King Yan in the past, and their drinking capacity could be considered as equals...
Thinking of this, Xu Mingyi nodded without delay: "Then let's leave the palace now."
"Um."
Wu Chao chose a deserted path, and the two of them quickly left Wanfu Tower.
Xu Mingyi suddenly stopped and turned to look at him: "I still need to talk to my mother first -"
Otherwise, her mother would be anxious and would search for her everywhere in the palace.
"Before I went to find you, I told Mingshi." Wu Chao said, "He will explain it to the Crown Prince's wife."
Xu Mingyi looked at him with some surprise.
...Why do you think that since this person had tea with her grandfather a few times, she has become more and more withdrawn from others in her family?
Therefore, there were many officials and family members leaving the palace at that time, and the two of them left the palace one after another among them, but they did not attract any attention.
Mrs. Cui was dragged by some friends to talk, so she left a little late.
When I stepped out of the palace gate of Wanfu Tower, I saw Xu, the wife of Prince Dingnan, also just walking out of the palace.
Thinking about the son of the other party and his own daughter... Well, no, I was thinking about the palace in Quanhe, when Mingshi went missing, and the Dingnan Palace also secretly helped to find the person, Cui was a little slower and waited.
Wait for the other person.
Mrs. Xu also saw her. Seeing that there was no one around her, she seemed to smile casually and asked, "Why don't you see the girl from your house?"
Mrs. Cui replied with a smile: "The little girl couldn't stay any longer, so she took the maid back early."
The smile in Mrs. Xu's eyes suddenly deepened: "It's a coincidence that the one in my family also couldn't sit still at the table and left early."
Ms. Cui still smiled when she heard this and nodded.
Yes, it is indeed a coincidence.
What's even more coincidental is that just now, her family Mingshi told her directly and unabashedly that Wu Shisun and his sister had left the palace early.
Mrs. Xu was in a good mood at this time.
Seeing that her son had disappeared long ago, she originally thought that her Ayuan was not a good person and did not know how to seize opportunities. Now it seems that he still knows how to do it.
When Mrs. Xu was about to say something more to Mrs. Cui, she suddenly heard a girl's clear and sweet voice coming from behind her.
"lady--"
Princess Sangyun held up her skirt, crossed the palace gate, and came over.
Mrs. Xu and Ms. Cui didn't know who the other party was calling for a moment, but as soon as they turned their heads, they understood.
The girl's eyes were only fixed on Mrs. Xu. After she came closer and saluted the two of them, she said to Mrs. Xu: "When Sang Yun was in Mizhou, he had heard of the reputation of Mrs. Wu's heir apparent. Today,
Only when I met Madam did I know that the rumors were true."
Good reputation?
Dignified and virtuous, a role model for women?
Mrs. Xu smiled.
It's good that her reputation spreads far and wide, after all, she put a lot of effort into pretending to be so.
"I have also heard about Princess Sangyun. I heard that the princess has a lively temperament and is capable of riding horses and shooting arrows, which is comparable to that of ordinary Zhongzhou women."
Coincidentally, her future daughter-in-law is not an ordinary woman. Not only is she very proficient in horseback riding and archery, she is also good at dressing up as a man.
Xu's two words are indispensable: thinking about her future daughter-in-law.
She felt that she was probably sick.
If you want to cure this disease, there is only one way to go - to marry your daughter-in-law home as soon as possible.
"It's just that my father manipulated me and made fun of me..." Princess Sangyun smiled sheepishly, and then said: "Sang Yun has admired Madam's reputation for a long time. I wonder if I can visit Madam at home someday? Follow me.
Madam, could you please talk and practice some etiquette?"
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The princess of Prince Yan's Mansion shouldn't be so ignorant of propriety...
Although the customs and customs of Mizhou are relatively strong and straightforward, and the little girl in the back house is further away from the disputes, and is far less intrigued than the capital, but didn't King Yan give an explanation before entering the capital?
"Princess Princess——"
A maid came over and her voice sounded like a reminder.
This is Princess Sangyun's maid - Princess Yan. Mother and daughter arrived in the capital for the first time. They didn't understand the rules of the palace, so they were specially allowed to bring their personal maid into the palace for the banquet.
Hearing the maid's voice, Princess Sangyun turned her head slightly, frowned quickly, and whispered: "I'm talking to Madam."
"..." Mrs. Xu was even more stunned.
Did this girl actually turn around and remind the maid that she shouldn't interrupt?
It seems that it is not that King Yan has not confessed, but that the child cannot be brought to the road at all...
Looking at the girl who turned back, her eyes were sweet and eager, still waiting for her answer, Mrs. Xu could only smile and said: "In three days, Mrs. Wen will hold a flower viewing party at the house, and many ladies and girls will go there.
"Whether the princess wants to find someone to talk to or wants to learn etiquette and rules, this is the perfect match."
The smile on Princess Sangyun's face faded.
She was not an idiot. Even though the other party's words were very tactful, she understood them.
...Could it be that they think the women from Mizhou are too vulgar and don't want to associate with her?
Thinking about this possibility, the girl looked a little confused and nodded decently: "Thank you, madam, for reminding me. If I have time, I will go and take a look."
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask: "Will Madam also go there?"
She is not someone who shrinks when she encounters a misunderstanding. On the contrary, she believes that as long as there is a chance to get along with her, the prince's wife will definitely change her mind.
Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded: "I should go."
"Then I'll be waiting for Madam at the flower party -"
When Princess Sangyun wanted to say more, the maid on the side said: "Princess, the Queen Mother invites you and the princess to go to Shoukang Palace to talk. It is not appropriate to delay any longer."
Princess Sangyun then wished Mrs. Xu a blessing and said, "Sang Yun will go to the imperial grandmother's house first."
Mrs. Xu still smiled: "Go quickly."
Princess Sangyun and her maid walked towards Princess Yan who was waiting not far away.
Under the guidance of the palace servants, the mother and daughter headed in the direction of Shoukang Palace.
…
At the same moment, King Yan, who had been sent back to his residence by the palace servants, had just been helped by his servants to lie down in his bedroom.
The servant took off King Yan's robe that was full of wine smell. After briefly scrubbing him, he saw that his prince was sleeping deeply, so he left a light on and retreated to the outer room.
Not long after, the young man who usually accompanied King Yan came over and said, "You can go down, I will guard the prince."
The servant felt relieved and retreated.
"...The prince is very drunk?"
Seeing him come out, another servant guarding the corridor asked quietly.
"Yeah, I'm so drunk that I'm unconscious. I won't answer anything I say. I'm falling asleep right now..."
