After walking out of the gate of Huangfu's house, Yun Zishu and Princess Wuyang got into a carriage, while Aventurine was in a carriage alone.
Yun Zishu raised the car curtain and ordered: "Leng Shuang, go and inform the prince that Princess Wuyang and I will go back first, so that he doesn't have to worry."
"yes."
The carriage started moving quickly, and Princess Wuyang sat in the carriage and said: "Aventurine has been locked up in the palace for the past few days, and today she appeared in the palace of the general without any warning. There must be something strange about this."
"I also think it's a bit weird." Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "But she doesn't look like someone from a wealthy city. She's not afraid of weird things. Just be careful."
Princess Wuyang slowly shook her head: "There is no conflict of interest between Concubine Shu, her daughter, and the prince. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any ill intentions."
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment, and she already made a judgment in her mind: "The concubines in the harem always get along harmoniously, maybe they are being taken advantage of."
"I think so too." Princess Wuyang's tone was slightly cold, "I really don't know what those people are thinking about all day long. They know that the prince's bloodline is pure and his accession to the throne will be justified. No matter how much others struggle, it will not help, so why put themselves to death?
Forced on the road?"
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows slightly, what if the person behind the scenes did not want the throne?
Princess Wuyang didn't know the inside story. She only knew that the three princes had always been in competition with the prince. She also knew that Queen Situ Wan had repeatedly become enemies with Yun Zishu because of the position of crown prince - these were all superficial competitions for interests.
, an appearance that a discerning person can see.
But if the aventurine jade was used by someone this time, the first person who came to Yun Zishu's mind was Concubine Gua.
For some reason, even though there was no evidence, her intuition was that she couldn't get rid of the relationship with Concubine Gua.
But what does Concubine Gua want to do? A concubine was willing to fight with the emperor when she was young. She has been childless and alone for so many years. Although she is competing for favor, she has no desire to take the back seat. She looks indifferent and has no desire.
The emperor's love and trust can make her live a smooth life. If nothing happens, even if the emperor is gone in the future, he will definitely make arrangements for the rest of her life before he dies.
And with the reputation that Concubine Gua has accumulated over the years, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty should also hope that the prince and crown princess will treat Concubine Gua well, so that she can live a good life both emotionally and rationally.
Yun Zishu was lost in thought and didn't say a word for a long time.
Returning to the Prince's Mansion, Yun Zishu ordered people to take Princess Wuyang and Aventurine to the tea room to serve tea. She went back to the inner hall and changed into loose and comfortable clothes. When she walked in, she heard Aventurine say: "I
The Crown Prince and I are biological brothers and sisters, and the Crown Princess is my biological sister-in-law."
Yun Zishu paused slightly.
Princess Wuyang raised her eyebrows: "But your attitude is not like treating your own sister-in-law at all."
"My attitude today is already very good." Aventurine frowned, looking unhappy, "Who have you seen me be so polite to in the past?"
"Then you dare to be rude in front of the emperor?"
Aventurine's face changed: "The Crown Princess is not the father--"
"Essentially, it's the same." Princess Wuyang said calmly, "If you really respect the Crown Princess, you should know that you should not use your domineering level as a criterion for sincerely making friends with someone."
Aventurine is speechless.
Princess Wuyang said calmly: "The prince is the crown prince. All other princes and princesses should be respectful to the prince, and the same should be done in front of the prince and concubine."
Aventurine was dissatisfied: "When I watched you and Huangfu Chuchu speak to your sister-in-law, my attitude was not very respectful."
"Princess Wuyang has never raised eyebrows at me." Yun Zishu walked in and glanced at Aventurine with no expression, "nor did she threaten to pull out the maid next to me and kill her with a cane."
Aventurine's expression changed, she stood up stiffly, bent her knees and apologized: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have been rude to the Crown Princess's sister-in-law, and I shouldn't have bossed around, scolded and cursed the maids around her, I will pay attention to it in the future.
"
"Sit down." Yun Zishu brushed her clothes and sat down, "I have been married to the prince for so many years, and I still don't know much about the concubines in the harem. I have only met the queen and Concubine Gua so far... I wonder what concubine Shu's hobbies are in her daily life?
"
Dongling Yu said: "My mother-in-law likes to read and draw, and she is used to being alone when she has nothing to do."
"Concubine Shu doesn't have any sisters who are more compatible with her?"
"How many real sisters are there in the harem?" Aventurine took a sip of tea, looked left and right, and kept looking at the tea room in the Prince's Mansion, "But Concubine Gua is very popular, and my mother-in-law also likes to be with her.
Get along with her, Concubine Gua speaks very gently, and she knows a lot of things, and people can benefit a lot from talking to her."
Princess Wuyang nodded slowly: "Concubine Gua does know a lot. Both the emperor and the empress have great trust in her."
"Concubine Gua is an admirable and wonderful woman. I heard that she has been following His Majesty in battles since she was young and has made many contributions." An expression of admiration appeared on Yun Zishu's face, "Such a woman is enviable. Although many people
I don’t have the ability like her, but I should be very comfortable getting along with her.”
"Yes, Concubine Mother especially likes to interact with Concubine Gua. Whenever she feels unhappy or confused, she will go to Baoxiang Palace for a walk and chat with Concubine Gua for half an hour, and she will feel much better."
Yun Zishu added a cup of tea for herself, picked it up and took a sip: "How long have you had that white cat? It doesn't look too big."
"I've been raising it for a year." Aventurine suddenly became excited when she heard her talk about her little pet, "Amber is very cute, it doesn't scratch or scratch, but it's a bit delicate. If the princess's sister-in-law likes it, I plan to give it to you.
of--"
"I really don't like small animals." Yun Zishu's voice became gentler, "Besides, a gentleman doesn't take what others like. Amber is your favorite, why did you give it to me?"
"I left the palace in a hurry today and didn't have time to meet and greet you. My mother-in-law said that only by giving away your favorite things can you express your most sincere feelings." Aventurine sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that the princess's sister-in-law doesn't like amber.
, next time I come to the Prince's Mansion, I will definitely pick a gift that my sister-in-law likes. I wonder what my sister-in-law likes?"
"Don't bother." Yun Zishu shook her head, "The Prince's Mansion lacks everything, and I don't usually have any special hobbies."
Aventurine made a sound: "I heard that the emperor gave the princess and sister-in-law two Ruyi jade handles. I wonder if I can have a look at them?"
Jade Ruyi?
Yun Zishu's expression paused, and a strange color flashed through her eyes. How could a princess who had been imprisoned for several months know the news that the emperor had given her a jade Ruyi so quickly?
Does she really want to watch it, or does she want to take this opportunity to see if Yu Ruyi is in her hands?
"Leng Shuang." Yun Zishu raised her voice and said, "Go and get Yu Ruyi -"
"I heard that jade has spirituality." Princess Wuyang suddenly said, "There are also two Ruyi jade handles in the Queen's Palace, but she never shows the Ruyi jade to others easily. The Crown Princess's Jade Ruyi should also be treasured."
