Hearing what Wu Peiya said, Ziqing's attention was indeed diverted, but she was still worried about the princess in her heart.
Those women were right about one thing. Even if the princess didn't leave, the backyard of Prince Han's Mansion would be a little thin with the princess alone, so even if the prince brought a new love, no one could say anything.
All she can do now is to arrange Fuyunxuan for the princess and quietly wait for the princess to come back.
Princess, don’t worry, your servants will definitely guard Fuyunxuan!
"Peiya, do you know when the prince will come back?" She knew that Wu Peiya was better informed, so she asked.
Wu Peiya also hesitated, "I don't have accurate information here. I only know that the prince left Jiangning City about ten days ago. According to the normal speed, he should arrive in a few days."
Ziqing lowered her head, "Oh."
She saw the food box in her hand and said in a low tone, "I want to go to the Taiwei Mansion. Do you have anything to do when you come here?"
"It's nothing. I was passing by here and happened to see those talkative women targeting you, so I came over to take a look." Wu Peiya paused and said.
She came here originally to confirm to Zi Qing that King Han had a new love, but now it seemed that Zi Qing had just found out.
She never expected that the prince, who was so affectionate for the princess, would find a new love so soon!
"Then you go and do your work, I have to leave first. The pastries won't taste good when they are cold." Zi Qing said, said goodbye to Wu Peiya, and turned around to leave in a low mood.
Wu Peiya looked at Zi Qing's back and sighed.
…
Royal Palace, Yonghua Palace.
As usual, Concubine Jing came to pay her respects to the Crown Princess, and then stayed to say a few words to the Crown Princess.
After talking for a while, she was about to stand up and say goodbye when she saw the Crown Princess pressing her hand.
"Jing Fei, the Ai family has heard that Lao Wu is coming back?" The Crown Princess raised her eyes, glanced at Concubine Jing lightly, and asked gracefully.
Concubine Jing paused and bowed slightly, "If I go back to my concubine, Han'er is indeed on her way back to Beijing. Calculating the time, she should be here in a few days."
"Lao Wu finally gave up looking for the rebellious daughter, and the Ai family breathed a sigh of relief." The Crown Princess continued, without looking away from Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing remained motionless and did not respond, as if she had not heard anything.
For more than half a year, she often heard similar words from the Crown Princess. At the beginning, she would say a few words for Xie Yao, but the Crown Princess often said this, and she gradually became too lazy to respond.
The Crown Princess did not intend to continue on this topic, so she changed the topic with a smile on her face, "The Ai family also heard that Lao Wu met a new woman in the border area. Have Lao Wu ever talked to you?
Have you mentioned it?"
Concubine Jing remained calm and smiled at the Crown Princess, "Concubine, I was just joking. Han'er was far away in the frontier and was busy with military affairs, so he had someone send a message over, but his daughter-in-law asked him to handle military affairs in peace and not have to worry about the capital, so he
No more correspondence.”
"You don't know?" The Crown Princess glanced at Concubine Jing inquiringly again, then withdrew her gaze, "It's not surprising that I didn't tell you. You only have the rebellious daughter in your heart, and Lao Wu will naturally not think of such a thing.
Tell you."
"Well, the Ai family will make the decision for him in this matter. The Ai family is happy for him from the bottom of their hearts that he can let go of the rebellious daughter. When he returns to the capital, the Ai family will issue an order for him to take that woman as his concubine.
"
Hearing this, Concubine Jing immediately leaned forward and said, "Concubine Mother's words are serious. Taking a concubine is just a trivial matter. Even if Han'er really takes a concubine, just marry her directly without bothering Concubine Mother to issue an order."
The Crown Princess waved her hand, with a smile in her eyes, "There is no need for the Ai family to talk about concubinage, but there is no woman around Lao Wu now, and the position of the concubine has been vacant for nearly a year, so she should find a place for her.
There happens to be a good candidate here in the Ai family..."
"Concubine," Concubine Jing suddenly covered her belly and said with a grimace, "Concubine, please forgive me! My daughter-in-law suddenly feels unwell. Please allow me to leave first."
The Crown Princess' face darkened, and she glanced at Concubine Jing, "Go ahead. Since you are feeling unwell, you should rest more these days. The Ai family will personally arrange Lao Wu's marriage, so you don't have to interfere."
After saying that, he waved his hand impatiently, signaling the concubine to leave.
Concubine Jing bowed and left. After leaving Yonghua Palace, her back immediately straightened, and there was no trace of discomfort on her face.
Looking back in the direction of Yonghua Palace, she sighed and left quickly.
There was a woman beside Chu Han, so she naturally heard about it.
As for whether it was a new love or whether he would take a concubine, she would actually not interfere.
Ever since Xie Yao left, she had seen all of Chu Han's condition.
Chu Han must be the one who feels the most uncomfortable with Xie Yao's departure, and the pain in her heart is no less than that of Chu Han.
Therefore, as long as Chu Han likes someone, regardless of their origin, she will nod and will never stop him again.
As for Xie Yao, she also hopes that Xie Yao can come back and return to Chu Han. But she also knows very well that that is almost impossible!
The mere identity of a traitor's daughter is enough to block everything.
Maybe, Chu Han and Xie Yao are destined to have no connection.
Inside Yonghua Palace.
After Concubine Jing left, the Crown Princess immediately called: "Binglan."
"My slave is here." Binglan stepped forward immediately.
"You leave the palace, go to Chen Shangshu's house, and bring Chen Jiayi over." The Crown Princess ordered.
The girl from the Chen family was obsessed with Chu Han, and even borrowed her hand to put medicine in the cakes that Chu Han ate. Although it failed in the end, as long as the girl from the Chen family was still interested in Chu Han, there would be a chance.
"Empress, are you going to arrange for Miss Chen to marry His Highness Prince Han?" Binglan suddenly asked.
The Crown Princess and Concubine Jing were talking just now. She was waiting on the side and could hear clearly.
"That's what the Ai family has in mind." The Crown Princess smiled in her eyes, "Now that the fifth child has a new love around him and has forgotten about the rebellious daughter, maybe the disease that can't have heirs will be cured by some chance. The Ai family
I just want to arrange a few more concubines for him, so that I can help the royal family as soon as possible!"
Chu Han's backyard was still too empty. It was necessary for her to help Chu Han and fill up Chu Han's backyard!
Chu Han should have forgotten Xie Yao, the rebellious daughter!
"Then this slave will leave the palace immediately and go to invite Miss Chen." Binglan sighed and retreated.
…
Zhongyonghou Mansion.
Hong Ye was sipping tea when he suddenly placed the tea cup heavily on the table, with a deep look in his peach blossom eyes, "You said King Han brought back a new love from the border?"
The guard below who was kneeling on one knee quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am talking about a woman brought back by His Highness King Han."
"It's so far away, isn't it a new love brought back from the border?" Hong Ye stood up, put on a piece of clothing and headed out, "Bring me a horse!"
Shouldn't he be looking for Xie Yao? Why did he end up looking for a new love?
He wanted to see for himself what Chu Han was thinking!
