Chapter 596: The Foolish Woman Who Fakes Her Death for a Man (3)
On the day of the wedding, Xiaojuzi informed Shuangshuang.
"The Third Prince took advantage of the night and took Yang Liu to stay in the Second Princess's villa."
They both nodded in understanding, "Sure enough, the Second Princess knows what the Third Prince is planning!"
The second princess did know her brother's plan.
For her, it is only beneficial for her if her brother has a bad relationship with his future sister-in-law.
Therefore, although she looked down on Yang Liu a little, she did not neglect her.
Knowing that they must be bored of staying in the Third Prince's Mansion, she took this opportunity to invite them to stay in the Princess's Villa for a few more days.
And arranged them to rest in a separate small courtyard.
This was exactly what Shuangshuang wanted. After all, no matter how remote the house in the villa was, it was just like that.
Shuangshuang came with Princess Zhongyi.
Today she was wearing a goose yellow skirt and a ruby pomegranate hairpin on her head.
This way, she would neither be disrespectful nor appear too dressed up, which would damage her image of being deeply in love with her fiancé.
The second princess openly respects Princess Zhongyi very much, and she values Shuangshuang, her future sister-in-law, very much.
Therefore, he personally led people out to the gate to welcome him, giving enough face to the Prince of Loyalty's Mansion.
Since it is a lotus banquet, the venue is naturally designed to be by the lake.
They both sat in the seats assigned to them and said nothing more.
As the most honorable person present besides the princess, Princess Zhongyi naturally had many people approaching her to try to get close to her and establish relationships with her.
Princess Zhongyi looked at Shuangshuang worriedly, and Shuangshuang shook her head at her.
"Mom, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
At this time, a bright and beautiful girl came to Shuangshuang and looked at her with worried eyes.
"Sister Yuwen, I heard that you are going to marry the Third Prince's tablet. Is that true?"
The person who came was Huo Jingya. They both smiled, nodded, and took her hand.
She would often express her loyalty, "Don't worry, I got what I wanted. I can finally live with the Third Prince forever. You should be happy for me."
As expected, he has been paying attention to the movements here. When the second princess heard this, a look of disdain instantly appeared on her face.
Huo Jingya also knew that this was not a good time to speak.
So he just held Shuangshuang's wrist tightly, sighed silently and changed the subject.
At this time, Bai Wanting, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, came to Shuangshuang with a few beautiful girls.
She and the original owner had never gotten along, and there was only one reason for that: she also liked the third prince.
It’s just that the Imperial Concubine has always been adept at the art of keeping a balance, and she wants the money from the original owner’s family.
She also wants Bai Wanting's father's civil servant status.
But the imperial concubine knew that based on the original owner's status as a princess, it was impossible for her to be a concubine to someone else's son.
Therefore, he kept coaxing Bai Wanting, thinking that after the third prince married the original owner, he would take Bai Wanting into the palace as a concubine.
This made Bai Wanting, who already hated the original owner, hate her even more.
She thought it was true as the noble concubine said, that Prince Zhongyi used the power of the palace to oppress the third prince, forcing him to marry her as his principal wife.
Especially now that the third prince is gone, both of them have lost everything.
But Bai Wanting hated the original owner even more, because she had the title of the Third Prince's fiancée and could marry him openly and become his widow.
The original owner was extremely sad about the third prince's affairs and had been staying at home to recuperate.
Later, when Shuangshuang came, she went directly to Huangjue Temple, so I never had the chance to see her.
Now that they finally met, Bai Wanting couldn't wait to bring her group of followers over to ridicule Shuangshuang.
Shuangshuang has no good feelings towards Bai Wanting.
The original owner has always been a carefree person, so even if he doesn't like someone, he would just ignore them.
But her feelings towards Bai Wanting could be described as disgust.
The reason is that Bai Wanting's methods are too cruel.
The original owner had encountered this before, and saw how she punished her personal maid.
At that time, he pinched the girl's arm with his sharp nails until it bled, but he still had to grit his teeth and smile so as not to be discovered.
The main reason why Shuangshuang hated her was that the letters in which the original owner's father notified her of treason were all forged by Bai's father.
Originally, Shuangshuang didn't have the time to cause trouble, but she didn't expect that she would bring people to her and talk about all sorts of things.
In the end, some even said that the original owner was unlucky and that she had killed her husband before she even entered the house.
Shuangshuang stood up and slapped her without saying a word.
When he fell to the ground, the tea and cakes on the table spilled all over her.
The second princess always knew what her mother was thinking.
He won over the Minister of Rites so that when his younger brother ascended the throne, he would know the edict of succession in advance.
An even more disgusting idea is that they can take advantage of the emperor's critical illness to pretend to obey but actually disobey.
Even if the emperor did not read the third prince's name, he could change it.
But I didn't expect that she would dare to openly provoke Shuangshuang at the banquet, so I had to call her a fool!
Don’t think about it, even if Shuangshuang is not the third prince’s wife, she is still the Princess of Chang’an appointed by the emperor himself.
How could she, a commoner, have the guts to provoke her?
The most infuriating thing was that for the sake of her brother's future career, she couldn't get angry and had to comfort Bai Wanting.
He touched his forehead helplessly and whispered instructions to the people around him.
"Take Miss Bai down to change her clothes."
He looked her up and down again and said, "Her figure is similar to mine, so let's change her into the smoky blue soft rosa dress that the emperor gave me a few days ago."
Bai Wanting was instantly attracted by the soft Rosa skirt given by the second princess.
I heard that less than ten pieces of this material were produced every year, and all of them were given by the emperor to his favorite concubines in the harem and a few of his favored children.
As for the ministers' families, no one had ever seen one except Princess Chang'an who was fortunate enough to get two horses.
I didn't expect that such a precious thing would be so easily available.
The more I thought about it, the happier I felt. I even sighed secretly, thinking that it would be great if the third prince was still alive.
If I put on this soft rosa and walk around in front of him, I will definitely charm him.
She was too embarrassed to stay after being splashed all over, but now she decided not to leave and left quickly with her personal maid.
Shuangshuang wanted this opportunity and instructed Xiaojuzi.
"Go and give Li Xiangze some goodies."
Then he winked at Princess Zhongyi.
Princess Zhongyi was currently with several older princesses, chatting about their wedding which would be held in half a month.
The Princess of Dongting County, who had originally had a good relationship with her, looked at Shuangshuang with heartache.
But after all, it is a royal matter, and it is not her turn to speak.
On the contrary, it was an old princess from the Li family. She was extremely serious and rigid in character, and she always admired these chaste and heroic women.
Therefore, he rarely showed a good face to Princess Zhongyi.
He nodded at her appreciatively, “You gave birth to a wonderful daughter!
Don't worry, although the third prince is gone, the royal family will definitely not forget her contribution since she was able to do this for the third prince.
Wait two years and then adopt a child from the imperial clan. Then you won’t be alone for the rest of your life and you’ll have someone to rely on.”
