Chapter 272: It’s really frustrating for him to be the emperor!
The princess had previously instructed that all visiting cards and invitations should be rejected.
However, Nanny Wang still didn't dare to make a decision on her own regarding the invitation sent from the harem.
Xu raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at the post, tapped the table lightly with her fair and smooth fingers, and said in a calm voice:
"Put it here for now."
Nanny Wang replied "yes", stretched out her hands and placed the note on the table in front of her, then turned around and saw a hint of sadness on her face.
He took another quick glance and saw two unfamiliar girls in the room.
After a moment of silence, thinking that the princess had just returned to the capital, he asked:
"Princess, what's troubling you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu turned sideways and looked straight at Nanny Wang.
After thinking for a moment, he did not hide anything and told Nanny Wang everything about the Liu sisters.
Firstly, she had not been in Beijing for many years and had no idea whether what the sisters said was true or false.
Secondly, Nanny Wang is a trustworthy elder, so naturally she wouldn't go out and say anything.
Moreover, officials in charge of various prefectures like them have a lot of private contacts and definitely know more inside information than her, who is not in the capital for most of the year.
Nanny Wang thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
There was no gossip about these two girls when they were young.
But as they grew up, and appeared more and more frequently with the wife of the Minister of Rites or the eldest daughter, everyone began to notice something was wrong.
Although everyone praised the wife of the Minister of Rites for being virtuous and kind, and treating her stepdaughter better than her own daughter.
In fact, they all laughed at her behind her back, calling her a fool who treated other people's girls as treasures.
Nanny Wang didn't directly say that the two sisters didn't lie. She just nodded slightly to Xu without any expression, and then smiled with some emotion and said:
"It seems that Qingcang Mansion is really a good place to put people at ease!"
Xu asked doubtfully:
"Why do you say that, Mammy?"
Upon hearing this, the wrinkles on Nanny Wang's old face deepened a little, and she jokingly said:
"If you weren't worried, how could our princess be so worried over such a trivial matter?"
After listening to this, Xu thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
She is the only one in the prince's backyard, and in Qingcang Mansion, apart from the prince, she, the princess, is the most powerful.
Those who came to her door and those behind her, after being dealt with a few times, no longer dared to get close to her.
As for places where she couldn't see, she didn't bother to care.
Moreover, if the prince wanted to do something, she couldn't control it even if she wanted to.
So it really saved her a lot of trouble, and she gradually became less able to deal with the private matters in the rear house.
Knowing her own shortcomings in this area, Xu didn't act pretentiously. She looked at Nanny Wang and asked bluntly:
"Madam, do you have any proper solution?"
Nanny Wang nodded with a smile, then pointed to the invitation on the table.
"Why not wait until the Peach Blossom Banquet the day after tomorrow and bring the two girls there openly?"
Xu raised an eyebrow in confusion and motioned for her to continue explaining herself.
“It is indeed a bit unreasonable for you, the princess, to invite the two young ladies to your residence.
But what if Miss Shishi wanted to find two playmates and happened to take a fancy to these two girls?
Besides, Miss Shishi now has the title of queen.
She invited the two girls to come to her house to play together, and the two girls dared not refuse due to their status, so it is only natural, isn't it? "
Xu nodded when she heard this, it seemed that this was indeed feasible.
Besides, Shishi is young, so it is understandable that the little girl acts a little willfully.
Also, I don’t know if anyone saw Shishi dismantling the Minister of Rites’ Mansion last night.
But after the two girls return, this matter will definitely be unconcealed.
However, given the girl's personality, it was only a matter of time before she could reveal the truth. Once it was exposed, it would further prove that what they said was true.
The people in the room had decided how to properly deal with the problem of the corpse kidnapping.
Shishi, who was thrown into the yard, also learned from the Huo family father and son that he had to stay there until the potatoes and sweet potatoes were ripe before he could go back.
Shishi was silent for a moment, then said that as long as his parents agreed, he had no objection.
The father and son were a little surprised that she was so nice to them this time.
After all, they had prepared a lot of plans in order to successfully persuade her to stay.
In fact, Shishi discovered this new little brother of his from the previous two morning court sessions and last night's banquet.
It's really frustrating for him to be the emperor!
The emperors that the corpse had seen before all said what they meant.
Which emperor is like him?
For every one he says, others say ten more.
So Shi thought it was okay not to go back so early.
As the boss, you have to support your younger brothers, right?
After I help my younger brothers and make them obey me, it won’t be too late to go back.
Hehe ~
A righteous man who is determined to stand up for his younger brother.
As soon as he thought of his rich harvest last night, his little hands became impatient and started to get busy.
Unfortunately.
Because of the trouble she had caused, Shisi was detained in the palace by her mother for the past two days and was not allowed to go out until the day of the Peach Blossom Banquet.
Through her mother's admonitions, Shishi began to have a vague understanding of the world and of women's innocence.
Xiao Wang only said that her mistake this time was that she almost ruined the innocence of her two sisters.
There was not a single mention of the fact that their house was demolished and only the foundation was left!
Xiao Wang said there was nothing she could do, because he was the one who scolded her man!
The mysterious razing of the Minister of Rites' Mansion to the ground overnight caused quite a stir in the capital.
However, all the officials and noble families who received the invitation to the Peach Blossom Banquet had no time to take care of this matter as they were busy preparing for the Peach Blossom Banquet.
Although the Peach Blossom Banquet is held every year, this year it was suddenly held half a month earlier.
This banquet is also tacitly agreed upon by everyone. It is a banquet held every year for the young men and women from various families to meet each other.
Therefore, people who attend the banquet every year will make careful preparations in advance.
As the name suggests, the Peach Blossom Banquet must include peach blossoms.
Therefore, although the banquet was hosted by the Queen, it was not held in the palace, but in a royal villa outside the city that was full of peach trees.
At noon on the day of the banquet, a steady stream of luxurious carriages began to slowly drive out of the east gate of the capital.
The corpse in one of the carriages was jumping up and down in the carriage like a little monkey that had just been freed.
Sometimes he would stick his head out of the car window, look around, touch things here and there, and then ask a question.
"Mom, are we there yet?"
"Mom, when will it arrive~"
"Mother, how long will it take?"
This made Xiao Wang's head throb.
She and her husband are both honest and decent people, so how could she give birth to such a thing?
If this dead child hadn't crawled out of her own belly, she would have suspected that her man was cheating on her!
But this is really not Shishi's fault. Shishi has been feeling very anxious and depressed these past two days.
It would be fine if you weren't allowed to go out.
But it just so happened that the Huo family father and son went to the Dali Temple these two days, pretending to help and smooth things over the case of the investigation into the Minister of Rites' Mansion.
What about the two little sisters I just made friends with?
Because of the kidnapping of a noble lady in the capital, he was also detained and not allowed to go out.
As for the Liu sisters who were abducted by Shi Shi, they received an apology and assurance that the girl would not hurt them.
But the two of them couldn't help but feel scared when they saw the little girl, so there was no need to think about playing with her.
In the end, it was Sang Jiale, the gradually plump little kid, who took on everything alone.
His eighth sister beat him for two whole days in the name of various kinds of love!
Don’t ask why he was beaten. The reason is that I like him too much and love him as my younger brother too much!
