Chapter 291 Vixen
Princess Pan Ting of Prince Xiang sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the red eyes in it from crying, and sighed sadly!
"Miss, that concubine Jingru is a slut. She has been trained for many years by the etiquette nanny in the palace. Her ability to seduce men is even more shameless than those from brothels. I don't know why the Empress Xianfei gave her to the prince as a concubine. You are sad and angry every day!" The maid Yuxiang looked indignant.
The maid Chenxiang was combing the princess' hair with a distressed look on her face, and she also angrily echoed the words, "The virtuous concubine has always been distant and distant from our young lady, the Princess of Xiang. I guess she has never felt sorry for the grievances that young lady has suffered."
After hearing what the two maids said, Pan Ting's tears of grievance welled up in her eyes again, and she was about to cry, "I guess it's because I don't know how to please my mother. She has never treated me as a daughter-in-law. After my father was stripped of his title and dismissed from his post, our Pan family has lost power and can no longer help them. Who will still take me seriously?"
When talking about this, Yuxiang was even more furious: "If it weren't for them, how could the master, who is so smart and wise, do such a stupid thing?
Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Qin was broad-minded and generous, and did not sentence the master to death, nor did he implicate other people in the Pan Mansion. Otherwise, our Pan family..."
Seeing that the princess was extremely sad, Chenxiang quickly stopped Yuxiang and said, "Yuxiang, stop talking. Hurry up and get a handkerchief to wipe the young lady's face."
The third prince, Zhao Heng, stepped into the room and saw the princess crying sadly. He hurried forward, hugged her and said, "My beloved, why are you sad again? Didn't I tell you that there won't be any more misfortunes in the Pan family? I will protect and support my father-in-law's family."
Yuxiang boldly said, "The princess is not sad because of her family, but because of that vixen in Meixiang Garden."
The Third Prince was embarrassed for a moment, and explained guiltily: "Princess, Jingru is the concubine bestowed upon me by my mother. I should give her the benefit of the doubt. She has only been married for a few days, so I can't ignore her too much, right? We are a couple with deep love and harmony, and you are not a petty person who likes to be jealous. Why are you still upset and angry because of a concubine?"
These words of comforting made Pan Ting even more sad and aggrieved. She pushed the prince away in anger and sat up straight, saying, "The prince was not a person who liked new things and disliked old things, so I never had a petty mind and was jealous. When the two concubines and three maids came in, I always treated them with a smile.
Now, my family has lost power, and the new concubine who came in was given by my mother. She dominates the prince every night. How dare I be jealous, let alone angry! "
The third prince squatted down and wiped the princess' tears with a handkerchief. "Ting'er, how can you think of me like this? We are a loving couple and I will never let you down in this life." He blushed and explained, "It's just that the concubine Jingru given by my mother is a little interesting. I... I haven't had enough of the novelty and have been fascinated by her for a few days. Ting'er, I will stay here tonight and accompany you for a few more days, okay?"
"We are in love, and we are deeply in love. We will never let each other down." Pan Ting muttered these words and smiled sadly. "These words, perhaps only the Princess of Qin in the capital can truly enjoy them, right?"
The Third Prince's hand holding the handkerchief stopped in mid-air awkwardly, his guilty face flushed. With the Qin Prince and his wife as an example of a loving couple, these few sweet words to coax people were really hypocritical and shameless.
Chen Xiang, who was standing nearby, took the opportunity to add a few words, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was loyal to the Princess of Qin and vowed to never betray her. The two concubines the Emperor had arranged to marry him to refused to marry them. The daughters of Minister Luo and Minister Li cried heartbrokenly at home every day."
"Serves you right!" Yuxiang said indignantly, "Who told Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi to be so shameless, to use despicable means to frame and seduce the King of Qin, and to get close to him?"
The third prince was secretly accused by the two maids. He stood up in anger and said, "Princess, the servants around you need to be properly disciplined!" He waved his sleeves and left with an unhappy look on his face.
The two maids turned pale with fright. They wanted to help the young lady vent her anger, but ended up angering the prince and leaving.
"Miss...I am talking too much!"
Princess Pan Ting of Xiang comforted them, "It's not your fault. It was that bitch Jingru who seduced his soul. Even if you had said a few more words to help me in the past, he would never have been so angry."
The third prince was so embarrassed that he threw his sleeves and left in a rage. He walked out of the Cuiyu Pavilion where the princess lived and involuntarily walked towards Meixiang Garden.
Jingru was wearing a gauze dress, her figure was graceful, her body was hazy, her slender waist was swaying, she came up to me with a slender figure, beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile.
"Your Majesty, you are here? Why do you look so grim? Which servant has made you angry? Just beat him with a stick and sell him off. Your Majesty is of an extremely noble status. You must establish your dignity. Your imperial aura must be revealed at all times, and your pressure must be intimidating at all times..."
The third prince's heart sank when he heard this!
The rippling eyes and the feeling of bone-softening soul disappeared immediately. He pulled away Jingru's slender hands that were hugging his arm, and his face turned cold!
: "Jingru, what do you mean by this? Did your mother ask you to teach me this way?"
Jingru's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself that she was too impatient!
Her face changed, and her charming smile immediately turned into a pitiful and tearful expression, "Prince, what are you talking about? I just hope that my man is an upright man who sits high above the clouds and looks down on all living beings, has lofty ambitions, and benefits the common people..."
: "Stop talking!" The third prince interrupted her and looked her up and down, his fascination turning into cold disgust.
"Although this prince is somewhat romantic, he is not someone who can be bewitched by a character like you. You and my mother are trying to incite this prince's ambition to seize the throne, but you are just selfishly dreaming of the power of your mother and son.
This king is a self-aware person. If I can succeed to the throne smoothly, I also want to sit on the dragon throne and be supreme, and my words are golden. But if I have to shed countless blood or use conspiracy to snatch the dragon throne from the King of Qin, this king will never do it.
I would rather be a peaceful and wealthy prince than let a palace coup lead to a bloody storm."
Jingru was still unwilling to give in and asked, "My Lord, aren't you afraid that after the King of Qin succeeds to the throne, he will get rid of you princes who threaten the throne?
Don't you want to rule the world, fulfill your ambitions, expand your territory, and build a lasting hegemony?"
The third prince raised his lips in a sarcastic tone, "You and mother are women, but you are very ambitious!
As an emperor, Prince of Qin Zhao Defang will definitely be stronger than me and any other prince.
As for whether the King of Qin will get rid of us princes after he ascends the throne, you and mother underestimate him too much. He doesn't care at all, and he won't regard us princes as a threat, because the King of Qin has enough strength and confidence! "
Jingru bit her lower lip tightly, not knowing whether to use the beauty trick to beg for mercy, or to borrow the power of Concubine Li to rebuke and suppress him. Which one would be more beneficial to her future position in Prince Xiang's Mansion?
"Come here, drive the concubine Jingru out of the palace and send her to her parents' home in the countryside!"
Jingru, who was still thinking about something in her mind, was frightened out of her wits after hearing these cold and heartless words!
"Prince, please don't!..." Jingru knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, "Prince, please don't treat me like this! If I am driven out of the palace like this, how can I survive? My brother and sister-in-law in the countryside will sell me to a brothel.
Your Majesty, please forgive me this time? I... No, I won't dare to do it again! From now on, I will just serve you well and won't dare to talk too much anymore. ..."
The Third Prince was a man who sympathized with women. Seeing her crying so pitifully, he softened his heart and said, "Give her three thousand taels of silver notes and let her open a small courtyard in the capital and do some small business to make a living!"
After saying that, he sighed, stood up and left with a grim look on his face.
Jingru didn't dare to cry and bargain anymore. To her, this treatment was much better than being kicked out of the palace and sent back to her parents' home in the countryside.
Three thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. The jewelry given to her by the virtuous concubine and the king of Xiang in the past few days is also worth seven or eight thousand taels. She can buy a small courtyard in the capital and open a shop to do business. The foolish Princess Qin can make a lot of money by doing business. She can also make a lot of money by doing business with her smart mind. With her Jingru's beautiful face, clever mind and clever words, maybe she can even marry a son of a rich and powerful family as a rich and powerful son-in-law?
Jingru's ambitious desire rose again.
