But to be honest, the fifth princess is really fighting alone today, because Huangfu Chuchu doesn't want to cause trouble at his birthday banquet, so all the women invited are women who don't cause trouble, and the brothers in the family are more or less princelings, so
No one is stupid enough to seek discomfort.
Aventurine was not included in the invitation originally, but she is a princess, and there is no way to turn her away even if she comes. Although Huangfu Chuchu doesn't know why she came yet, it is obviously not possible for her to remain silent at this moment.
"Fifth Princess, please be patient." Huangfu Chuchu sat on the main seat and raised his eyes slightly, "Princess Wuyang and the Crown Princess have a good relationship. They can sit together and chat. I don't mean to be indifferent to the Fifth Princess."
"Princess Wuyang can chat with the princess, but I can't?" Aventurine looked at her coldly, "Huangfu Chuchu, you can pass the invitation to Princess Wuyang, why don't you pass it to me?"
Huangfu Chuchu frowned: "The rules in the palace are strict, and the princess cannot leave the palace easily. Even if I want to submit a post, I have to get the queen's permission. Don't the fifth princesses not know this?"
After a pause, "Besides, the fifth princess has been in confinement during this period. How do I know when the fifth princess will be released from confinement?"
"I don't care!" Aventurine didn't want to hear her explanation and spoke in a domineering tone, "I want to sit next to my sister-in-law."
Yun Zishu took a sip of tea and smiled lightly: "Are the fifth princesses here to attend Chu Chu's birthday party today, or are they here to cause trouble?"
Aventurine shook her head quickly: "I'm not here to cause trouble, sister-in-law, don't get me wrong."
She really didn't mean to cause trouble today.
Although she was dissatisfied with Huangfu Chuchu, she came here today for Yun Zishu, and she came with the purpose of making friends with Yun Zishu.
Aventurine was indeed imprisoned some time ago, but her mother and concubine were not. She told her everything that happened inside and outside the palace, whether it was the queen or Situ Wan,
It was Dong Lingyue and Dong Lingyan. In short, as long as it was related to Yun Zishu that happened recently, the mother and concubine relayed it to her one by one, with the purpose of warning her not to mess with the prince and the princess.
The concubines in the harem all knew that the emperor was in poor health and that the crown prince's accession to the throne was only a matter of time. Concubine Shu had no son and had no competition with the prince, but she hoped that she could enjoy prosperity in the future, so it was very necessary for her to be on good terms with the crown prince.
matter.
Aventurine was indeed a little impulsive, but she was not stupid. She knew what her mother-in-law said was right, so she wanted to have a good relationship with Yun Zishu. Today she also brought her favorite amber over and wanted to give it to the Crown Princess.
As a meeting gift, she thought that the Crown Princess would definitely like it, but she didn't expect that Yun Zishu didn't like small animals at all.
The plan to give gifts to close the relationship failed. Aventurine was not in a good mood. She was thinking about how to win Yun Zishu's favor. Unexpectedly, she was treated differently from Princess Wuyang in her seat. The fifth princess, who had always been arrogant and domineering,
Have you ever suffered such injustice?
Then his temper was aroused.
Yun Zishu said calmly: "If you want to chat with me, you can go to the Prince's Mansion to see me alone. There is no need to lose your temper at Miss Huangfu's birthday party."
Dong Lingyu was silent for a moment, then became happy: "Can I go to the Prince's Mansion?"
"Of course you can." Yun Zishu nodded, "But please send someone to inform me before coming to the Prince's Mansion so that I can make some preparations."
When Aventurine heard these words, she immediately brushed away her displeasure, and her temper was finally appeased.
"Thank you, Crown Princess, sister-in-law." She curtsied, and before returning to her seat, she cast a sidelong glance at Princess Wuyang, as if provoking a demonstration.
It's a pity that Princess Wuyang didn't pay any attention to her childish look, and didn't even give her any charity out of the corner of her eye.
The dispute stopped and Huangfu Chuchu greeted the ladies to eat and drink as they pleased, and the atmosphere in Lan Yue Pavilion became warm.
"Princess." Lianyue lowered her voice and said, "The fifth princess appeared a little strange today. Do you want Leng Yue and Leng Shuang to check if there is anything weird about the cat?"
Yun Zishu shook her head slowly: "There's no need to scare the snake away."
Lianyue understood clearly after hearing this. It turned out that the Crown Princess had already made a judgment in her heart. Aventurine was so impulsive and violent that even if she had malicious intent, she could not hide it. But today, it seemed that she did not seem to be malicious.
This kind of temperament is most easily exploited by others.
The most important thing is that the person being taken advantage of doesn't know anything about it. Even if there is any conflict, others will only think that she has a bad temper and is actively causing trouble. Instead, they will not have any suspicion about others.
Lianyue was not the only one who had this idea. Huangfu Chuchu also noticed something strange. She glanced at the aventurine thoughtfully and suppressed her doubts.
The atmosphere at the banquet was lively for a while, and not long after, a maid came over to invite Huangfu Chuchu, saying that Madam asked her to come over.
Huangfu Chuchu stood up and said, "Everyone, please be patient, I'll go over first."
"Select slowly, read slowly, and after reading, don't forget to bring your little puppy to us to see it." Commander Wuyang teased pointedly, "I have been curious about him for a long time."
As soon as he said this, someone next to him picked up the conversation: "Princess Wuyang is late today. We have already seen the style of Mr. Rong."
"Have you seen it?" Princess Wuyang turned her head, her expression obviously surprised, "Did Chu Chu bring it?"
"Yes, Hu Yue even asked her if she had kissed her. His intention was obvious, and he was not too embarrassed to say so."
The other noble ladies laughed out loud when they heard this.
"What is there to be so embarrassed about?" Hu Yue was not annoyed at all and retorted calmly, "A gentle gentleman, a lady is so jealous——"
"Yes, yes, she also said that gentlemen are gentlemen, and ladies are very naughty, hahaha..."
Princess Wuyang's mouth twitched.
"Don't make fun of Rong Zhan." Huangfu Chuchu warned sternly, and walked out as he said, "I am a thin-skinned person, unlike you, who don't have the slightest bit of restraint of a lady."
"Is this protecting someone's shortcomings?"
Huangfu Chuchu stepped out, then turned around and said: "Let you get it right, we are just protecting our shortcomings."
Princess Wuyang said: "Bring it over to me later for a look."
"No time." Huangfu Chuchu left without looking back.
Princess Wuyang didn't expect her to refuse. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked around at the others: "Is Chu Chu asking for the beautiful young man hidden in the golden house?"
Rong Zhan has been living in seclusion since he was brought to the General's Palace. When he was young, he devoted himself to studying and practicing martial arts. He rarely went out to meet outsiders, and not many people outside knew about him.
After all, a child brought back from outside can be an adopted son or a servant. Who among the royal family would be interested in a young man with a low status?
But when a boy grows up, there will always be a day when he will be known and discussed.
Huangfu Chuchu stepped out of Lan Yue Pavilion and turned to sit on the connected corridor. He couldn't help but think that Rong Zhan had indeed reached the age to discuss marriage...
