Chapter 524 The emperor's favorite is still the prince
"The prince is really here?"
Mei Min hurriedly changed her clothes while questioning the mother-in-law who came to report the news.
The little maid next to her hurriedly compared her hair with her hair to see what she should wear to look more decent, but not to be outcompeted by other little girls.
The woman who reported the news was standing at the door and said excitedly: "Of course it's true. Before Mrs. Lu went out to pick her up, Mr. Hua was taken into the Chuihua Gate. He's in Xinghui Courtyard now. I'll come
On the way there, I also saw Manager Qian going to the main house to report the news, is this really false?"
"Miss, hurry up. Don't let the daughter of the Xu family see the prince in advance."
Mei Min took the little maid's hairpin and slammed it on the dressing table, angrily yelling: "Listen to what you said? Why don't you slap yourself in the mouth!"
"This is still in someone else's yard. If it were in your own home, wouldn't you be so arrogant?"
After hearing this, the woman suddenly realized that she was at the Lu family, and she gave herself a tongue-lashing on the spot.
Seeing this, Mei Min calmed down a little.
She picked out a pair of hairpins with golden plum blossoms and rubies for herself to wear, and a pair of hairpins with butterflies and pearls on them. After packing them up, she walked out.
Soon, a burst of laughter came.
It was Lu Yunzhu and Xu Yanxin who came. Mei Min was waiting aside to see what they were dressing up for.
As a result, Xu Yanxin was still wearing the light blue cross-neck skirt she had met in the morning, with a cute single-snail bun, and pearls on her hanging pigtails. She looked pretty and charming, and she had not redressed her makeup at all.
Lu Yunzhu, who was on the side, had not changed her clothes. She was still wearing the light green skirt from the morning, with magnolia beads on the hairpin, and she didn't even put on the long-sleeved jacket.
Mei Min said: "Why do you go to see the prince dressed like this?"
Xu Yan smiled nervously and said a little uneasily: "I wanted to change it too, but Yunzhu said no."
Mei Min looked at Lu Yunzhu and wanted to ask her why she was so rude.
But she heard Lu Yunzhu say: "The prince won't mind this, and if we want to play with him, it would be a bit inconvenient to wear formal clothes."
"My sister-in-law hasn't changed it yet. If you don't believe it, just come with me and have a look."
Mei Min was dubious, but still followed Lu Yunzhu.
The three of them went to Xinghui Courtyard. Before they stepped through the door, they heard the prince's coquettish voice saying: "Father, why don't you come into the palace to see me? You don't know how much I miss you? I
I told Teacher Pei all day long that it would be great if he could draw me a portrait of you, but he refused and said that his adoptive father would not allow it. I didn’t believe it. His adoptive father valued him very much. It was impossible.
No!"
Wang Xiudao: "I'll draw it for you later, okay? Not only mine, but also yours, so you can open it and take a look when you miss me."
The prince cheered: "That's great, but even so, you have to come to the palace to see me often, otherwise I will stop kissing you when I grow up."
Wang Xiu's smile slowly faded and asked: "Who told you this?"
The prince said: "Eunuch Hua, he said that I should always accompany my father, lest my father stop kissing me in the future."
Wang Xiu looked towards Hua Zimo.
Hua Zimo bent his waist and knelt down on the spot.
Xu Xiujun on the side was stunned and looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.
Wang Xiudao: "Why are you doing these false rituals in broad daylight, and who are you showing them to? Why don't you get up quickly!"
Hua Zimo just got up and explained in a low voice: "I am worried that the prince is playful, so I gave him a few reminders."
Wang Xiudao: "Don't I know your worries? The prince is the only heir of the emperor now, so he needs to be more careful."
The implication was that she knew that Hua Zimo was worried that the emperor would have other children if he became queen.
But Wang Xiu didn't think so, because she knew that the emperor's favorite was still the prince.
She hugged the prince and said to him: "Your father is the person who loves you the most. He loves you more than Father-in-law Hua. If you have any questions, remember to ask your father in the future. Do you understand?"
The prince glanced at Hua Zimo and nodded solemnly.
Wang Xiu let him go and said to him: "You want to go out to play. Are you still here with me?"
The prince said: "I will stay here with my stepmother, but I have to ask them to go down. They are too annoying here."
Hua Zimo was ashamed and looked at Wang Xiu in embarrassment.
Wang Xiu then said to Hua Zimo: "Take your people and drink tea outside. Just don't go far."
Hua Zimo said quickly: "Your Majesty, the present situation is different from the past. I hope Mrs. Lu will take care of it, lest we go back to the palace and be unable to pay our dues?"
Wang Xiudao: "When did you become such a mother-in-law? This is in the Lu Mansion, and it is the Lu Mansion's business to handle business. The emperor asked you to take care of the prince, not to ask you to be cautious, for fear that the prince might bump into you. But to ask you to
Take a good look, who else in the capital today dares to be unfavorable to the prince and disloyal to the royal family?"
"Do you want me to explain this truth more clearly?"
Huazimo froze, his face turned pale, and his expression was no longer as careful as before, but became very ashamed.
After that incident, his courage seemed to be broken. He did things as cautiously as possible, but he forgot that the current situation had changed!
The world now belongs to the emperor.
The future world belongs to the prince.
All the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty had this consensus. Why don’t the people all over the world think so?
Is it really Lu Yunhong who is truly disloyal and dares to go against the people of the world and all civil and military officials?
I’m afraid that’s not the case!
After all, there is a hand in the palace that can be stretched out at any time, and that is the one that needs to be cut off.
Hua Zimo wiped the moisture from the corner of his eyes, bowed deeply to Wang Xiu, and said in a respectful voice: "Thank you, Mrs. Lu, for your advice. I understand."
Wang Xiu saw that he was not confused yet, so he glanced at Xu Xiujun, who was standing beside him, and said calmly: "Then you just stand down!"
Xu Xiujun was surprised when she looked at the prince who was obediently staying beside Wang Xiu. She was speechless and could only look at Hua Zimo.
Hua Zimo didn't look at her, but said to the eunuchs and maids who were following the prince: "Get out of here and stay guard outside the courtyard."
As he said that, he watched the palace people leave one by one, and he followed at the end.
At the courtyard gate, there are several girls waiting there.
Hua Zimo looked over and saw that he knew everyone, the lady from Taishi's Mansion, the lady from Shangshu Mansion, Lu Yunhong's sister...
He nodded slightly and led the palace servants to the pavilion in the distance.
Xu Yanxin asked quietly: "Did they just leave like this?"
Lu Yunzhu heard the uneasiness in Xu Yanxin's voice, and immediately patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law is here."
With that said, he motioned for them to come in.
Mei Min turned around and glanced at Hua Zimo, who was walking heavily. She remembered what her father said that he had lost his Sacred Heart due to unknown reasons. Even the position of the eunuch was taken by Yu Deshui. Who would have thought that he could still serve the prince now?
"Sister Min, hurry up."
Yunzhu urged from the side, fearing that she would be left behind.
Mei Min withdrew her gaze and walked into Xinghui Courtyard.
