Jade Without Fragrance Chapter 173

   Chapter 173

  Mother Kou was so angry that she patted her daughter's arm: "You girl, you know that you are angry with me."

  The girl is the sister of Princess Yian, and her boudoir name is Kou Wan.

   She turned her head away, not wanting to speak.

   "These sisters of the Lin family are really interesting, and they become a hot topic of discussion from time to time. Even people like me who stay in the palace all year have heard a lot." Princess Yian said lightly.

"No, my ears are getting calluses. Before, Miss Lin and Prince Wei got married, and the scenery was beautiful, but at that time, King Wei was too fat and didn't talk much about it. This time, Miss Lin and Prince Jing got married. Li seems to have married a peerless son-in-law, and no one else can beat the horse." Kou Wan took the opportunity to complain.

   Kou's mother is about to fight: "The girl's mouth is so powerful..."

   Princess Yi'an's eyes flashed impatiently, preventing Kou's mother from scolding her: "I heard that Prince Jing is a sick son. There are many outstanding men in this world, so mother should not always say this to her sister."

   "That's right, my brother-in-law is fine." Kou Wan said with a smile.

   Kou's mother also smiled: "Of course, this is the husband-in-law that the queen mother is looking forward to for your sister."

  Princess Yian's special situation made Kou's mother unable to hold the air of her mother in front of her, but instead coaxed her to talk.

   Princess Yian smiled and planned to return to the palace.

   She has been in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother since she was a child, which made it difficult for her to get close to her mother, but the Queen Mother often said that she should go home and have a look, and she had to do it.

   Hearing that her daughter was leaving, Kou's mother was a little reluctant: "Anyway, I will go back after lunch."

   "The Empress Dowager has been feeling uneasy recently, so I'd better go back early to accompany her old man more."

   "Then hurry back to the palace." Kou's mother dared not stay any longer, "Wan'er will send your sister off."

   Kou Wan accompanied Princess Yian out.

   Kou's mansion is spacious and splendid, and exotic flowers and plants are competing for beauty in the spring. Princess Yian's long dress slowly brushed over the clean bluestone floor, and said lightly: "That Lin Er girl, be careful when dealing with my sister in the future."

   Kou Wan's eyes widened a bit: "What's wrong with her?"

   Princess Yian sneered: "A woman who has been kidnapped before, and who escaped from the hands of the gangster by some means, can climb up to Prince Jing in a blink of an eye. Could it be that simple?"

   Not only Prince Jing, Princess Yian thought of that glazed lantern, and the thorns that pierced into her heart on the day of Shangyuan Festival got deeper and deeper.

   "My sister understands." Kou Wan responded obediently, thinking about Lin Hao again, she felt a layer of disgust.

   Princess Yian took the palace sedan to the direction of the imperial city, lifted the curtain and looked outside casually.

   There are people coming and going on the street, there are hawkers carrying loads, urchins chasing and laughing, and girls carrying flower baskets.

   "Stop." Princess Yian suddenly said.

   The sedan chair quickly stopped, she bent down and went out, and was helped by the palace maid to get off the sedan chair, but before she had time to instruct the palace attendant, the figure that caught her eye disappeared.

   "Princess, what are your orders?" asked the maid who was close by.

   "Nothing." Princess Yian shook her head and sat back in the sedan chair.

   She seemed to have seen Yang Zhe, the champion, just now.

   Princess Yian kept lifting the curtain all the way until she returned to the palace, feeling very bad.

   Also in a bad mood is the prince who heard that Lin Hao was engaged.

  In the inner room where only the new favorite Wang Fu was standing alone, the prince raised his foot and kicked a little boy to vent his anger: "Why do you always have trouble with me!"

  Wang Fu silently watched the little boy being kicked and rolled back and forth, until the prince stopped, and then he stepped forward: "Your Highness, if you have any troubles, say it, don't hold it in your heart."

  The prince sat on the chair, his face ashen: "It's nothing."

   His thoughts, only Wang Gui knows.

   Thinking of the dead Wang Gui, the crown prince was even more annoyed, and kicked the table a few times. The table slid out far away, and the fresh fruit in the fruit bowl rolled all over the floor.

  Wang Fu went around behind the prince and kneaded his shoulders quietly for him. After a while, the prince spoke up instead.

   "I saw a woman, but she got engaged."

   Wang Fu's movement of pinching the prince's shoulder did not change in the slightest, and said with a smile, "My servant thought it was a big deal. That woman was only engaged, but not married. If she knew that you favored her, she might not be very happy."

   "She is betrothed to Prince Jing."

   Damn Prince Jing!

  Wang Fu raised his eyebrows and his expression changed: "What is your favorite girl Lin Er?"

  The prince turned to look at him: "You know that too?"

  Wang Fu hurriedly said: "There are also many people in the palace talking about the engagement between Er Lin and Prince Jing."

   "Then you say, what should I do?"

  Wang Fu looked embarrassed: "This—"

   "Just say what you think!"

  Wang Fu didn't dare to hesitate any longer: "If it's okay for ordinary people to say that Prince Jing is a descendant of the clan, it's really hard to do..."

   "I knew it!" The prince patted the armrest of the chair, his heart seemed to be on fire, and his anger surged up.

   The fourth child and Miss Lin quit their relationship. He thought that the opportunity had come, but he did not expect that Miss Lin and the Prince of Jing would be engaged so soon!

   Did God deliberately play tricks on him?

  Prince got up and paced back and forth, his anger became more and more intense, even his face became red.

  Drowsiness struck, but his body was uncomfortably hot, so the prince hurriedly called Wang Fu: "Take the five colors and disperse."

  Wang Fu quickly served the five-color dispersion. Seeing that the Prince took it with an unfulfilled expression, he said thoughtfully: "If your highness still feels upset, you might as well use more. These five-color dispersions can open up your mood the most."

  Prince had discovered the benefits of five dispersions for some days, so he nodded without hesitation.

  The East Palace quietly restored peace.

   Qi Shuo and other shocking events had passed for a few days before they made an appointment to meet Cheng Maoming, the commander of Jinlinwei.

  Cheng Maoming won the Tai'an Emperor's praise for his contribution to preventing the gangsters from planning to bomb Jinxiu Street. It was when he was in a good mood, and the attitude of the Prince Jing who gave him credit was even better.

   "I haven't congratulated the prince yet, and found a good match."

   A polite word made Qi Shuo raise the corner of his lips: "Thank you."

  Cheng Maoming glanced at Qi Shuo's expression and realized something: It seems that Prince Jing is very satisfied with the marriage.

   "I came to the Governor today to ask for something."

  Cheng Maoming looked serious: "Sir, please speak."

   "That's right, I'm annoyed when I look at someone, but he's always pestering me, so I'll arrest them..."

  Cheng Maoming listened, looking strange.

   A woman was stalking Prince Jing, but Prince Jing actually arrested him? This is too ignorant of Lianxiangxiyu.

   "What does the prince need me to do?"

  Qi Shuo showed helplessness: "It's not suitable for people to be locked in the palace, can you borrow a place in Jinlinwei?"

  Cheng Maoming was stunned for a moment.

   You still want to put people in Jinlinwei?

  Qi Shuo frowned slightly: "If the Governor feels embarrassed—"

  Cheng Maoming came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "The prince is too open-minded, what's the problem. But let me ask one more question, do you just need to keep people locked up?"
