Chapter 763 First Meeting with Qiu Wan'er!
Qiu Wan'er originally planned to take this opportunity to enter the Prince's mansion directly, and then find a way to get a formal title later.
She made sure to gather all the information she needed along the way.
Especially after arriving in the capital, she heard that the prince was going to be named the crown prince.
The crown prince, he's the future emperor.
If I could follow the prince, and he ascended the throne in the future, wouldn't I be able to become a concubine?
Qiu Wan'er felt that her happy life was just around the corner, and after a moment's thought, she knelt down outside the gate of the Chang Le Prince's Mansion.
By now, the news that Duanmu Chuze had been named Crown Prince was known throughout the city.
Countless young girls in the capital city have had their previously dormant feelings of love stirred again because of this news.
Previously, Duanmu Chuze was the Prince of Chang Le. If he didn't want to take a concubine, so be it. There was no loss to him. In any case, Mu Xin Nuan had given birth to his legitimate son. As long as there was someone to carry on the family line, it would be fine.
But things are different now.
Now that he is the crown prince, his offspring are naturally the most important thing to him.
Besides, have you ever heard of a dynasty where the crown prince only had one crown princess?
Isn’t this a joke?
Who knew that before any of the young ladies in the city could even think of a move, Qiu Wan'er would deliver herself right to their doorstep.
The young ladies and wives of these families immediately sent people to inquire about it.
Upon learning that she was merely the younger sister of a border deputy general, he no longer took it seriously.
With such a background, and now just an orphan, let alone the Crown Prince looking down on her, even if he did, what future could she possibly have?
Ultimately, only a noblewoman from a prestigious family could be worthy of the Crown Prince's noble status.
Duanmu Chuze learned from Chunyu that Muxin Nuan had locked the courtyard gate in anger and was crying inside the house.
He's no longer in a hurry!
I thought all my teaching over the years had been ineffective, but I didn't expect that she still cared about me. Otherwise, why would she cry? Why would she be angry?
Thinking back to what Mu Xin Nuan said before he came out, Duanmu Chuze was overjoyed!
"Your Highness, are you still laughing? Aren't you going to go and comfort the Princess?"
Chunyu was really worried for the prince.
At this point, I wonder what the prince is thinking here?
"Don't worry, you can go back first. I'll stay in the study tonight and try not to upset her. I have to go to court early tomorrow morning. Remember to have Qiu Wan'er pay her respects to the Princess and tell her it was my idea to find a way to send the person to the villa."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chunyu didn't understand what the prince meant, but seeing how happy the prince was, she could only nod in agreement.
The next morning, although Mu Xin Nuan didn't have much of an appetite, she thought of Xiao Zong Hua and knew she had to have breakfast.
Chunyu relayed the prince's meaning, "Your Highness, do you think we should have her come over and pay her respects to you now?"
Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback. She thought that since the prince hadn't returned to the courtyard last night, he was most likely staying in the study. After all, she couldn't possibly be unaware of any news from the backyard.
"Okay, call her over."
"Yes, princess."
Aunt Fang happened to be coming from the opposite direction. "Chunyu, you deserve a beating! That title should have been changed long ago. You should be called Her Majesty the Crown Princess."
"Yes, Aunt Fang, I've got it. I'll fix it right away." Chunyu smiled, made a face, and went to find Qiu Wan'er.
Upon hearing that she was going to see the Crown Princess, Qiu Wan'er immediately perked up. She carefully dressed herself up and put on makeup that wasn't too heavy, thinking that she should first try to please the Crown Princess.
I had long heard that the new crown prince had married a wife who looked like a fairy, and now I finally have the chance to see her.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess."
Just hearing that voice, so sweet and affected, made Mu Xin Nuan feel a little uncomfortable. She didn't even open her eyes. "Get up."
"Thank you, Crown Princess."
"what is it call?"
"Your Highness, my name is Qiu Wan'er."
Mu Xin Nuan paused, and all the maids present changed their expressions. Was this girl stupid?
What did you just call yourself?
Qiu Wan'er then realized that she had just said the wrong thing. She had not yet served the Crown Prince, so how could she refer to herself as a concubine?
"Your Highness, I misspoke just now. I was just too nervous."
nervous?
Mu Xin Nuan sneered inwardly. A single slip of the tongue was enough to reveal the filthy thoughts she harbored!
"His Highness has already given instructions that you should move to another residence. Alright, go back and pack your things, then head over."
A separate courtyard?
Qiu Wan'er's eyes lit up!
It has to be said, this time, she really misunderstood!
She thought that the Crown Princess couldn't tolerate her, so the Crown Prince could only temporarily settle her in a separate courtyard.
Once she gets there, wouldn't she become the mistress of the villa?
Perhaps, after today, the Crown Prince will spend the night at the villa. At that time, if I say a few more nice words, I will naturally win the Crown Prince's favor.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave now."
Seeing her excited expression, Mu Xin Nuan was a little confused.
"Why is she so happy? Rongyue, go over there and listen to what she's so cheerful about."
"Yes, Princess."
Rongyue was also puzzled. The Crown Prince had someone send her to another residence, meaning he didn't want to see her around. But since she had come all this way, he couldn't just throw her out. So, he found an excuse to send her away.
Soon, Rongyue returned with a gloomy face.
"what happened?"
"Your Highness, Qiu Wan'er actually said that she wanted her maid to prepare some bright red clothes for her, saying that the Crown Prince is going to spend the night at the other residence tonight."
"what?"
Mu Xin Nuan was also stunned. After a long while, she smiled somewhat inexplicably, "This Miss Qiu, she really has some tricks up her sleeve. Where does she get her confidence from?"
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this Miss Qiu is overthinking things. As soon as she heard that we were going to the other courtyard, she assumed that she was going to serve the emperor." Mu Hua said, unable to help but smile.
Mu Xin Nuan threw the hairpin in her hand onto the table, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Alright, since that's the case, Rong Yue, go and tell her that it was me who said that today is an unlucky day and that she shouldn't move."
"Uh? The Crown Princess?"
"Go quickly."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
"Chunyu, I'm taking them to the Mu residence for a few days. If the prince asks, just say it's too crowded here and I'm not comfortable staying here."
"Yes, Princess."
Too crowded? Such a big house, and you're the only lady of the house? Is this still crowded? If it's any more crowded, how big of a courtyard do you want your mistress to have?
