Chapter 344: The Feast of Flowers
Speaking of which, this fourth princess is really a powerful person, able to make the fourth prince put away his thoughts and want to be a leisurely prince in peace and contentment.
But who can say with certainty whether this is true or not? Although the fourth prince said so, the emperor still had some doubts in his heart.
He tentatively believed what the Fourth Prince said, but he didn't believe it completely.
"It's best if you have such thoughts and want to live a peaceful life. If this is the case, then I will help you so that you can live a good life." The emperor said as he asked
The eunuch next to him came over and rewarded the fourth prince with a sum of gold and silver.
The Fourth Prince looked at the sum of gold and silver in front of him, his face a little stunned for a moment.
"You were aware of your eldest brother's affairs before. If you hadn't come to tell me, I'm afraid that by the time I find out, I don't know what kind of disaster he has caused, so this gold and silver can be regarded as a reward for you.
I saved the eldest prince's face." The emperor said calmly.
When he heard the emperor say this, a look of understanding flashed across the fourth prince's face.
He took the money and whispered, "Thank you, father!"
"There is no need to thank you. From now on, you have to remember what you should do and what you should not do in court. This will really make me worry-free." The emperor looked at him with satisfaction and said.
After hearing the emperor's half-joking and half-serious words, the fourth prince showed a knowing smile on his face.
"Father, don't worry. If I have the ability in the future, I will definitely take good care of His Highness the Crown Prince for my father." The fourth prince said as he held his hand.
What he said was to take good care of His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Emperor already understood what he meant.
After letting the fourth prince go back, the matter came to an end for the time being and no one mentioned it again.
The days passed peacefully, probably because living in the palace was not as comfortable as living in the prince's mansion. After Ruan Wanwan stayed for a while, he requested an order to return to the prince's mansion.
However, not long after returning to the Prince's Mansion, the fourth princess found her at the door.
The moment he saw the fourth princess, a flash of surprise flashed in Ruan Wanwan's eyes.
"Why did the princess come here at this time?" Ruan Wanwan looked at the fourth princess in surprise and asked.
The fourth princess sighed: "Of course I'm here to see the Crown Princess, but I also have an important matter that I want to discuss with the Crown Princess."
Not knowing what was important, there was something strange in Ruan Wanwan's eyes.
"The day after tomorrow is the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and I would like to invite your concubine to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet the day after tomorrow." The fourth princess looked at Ruan Wanwan and said with a smile.
After hearing these words, Ruan Wanwan looked at the fourth princess strangely.
The fourth princess had not been so active in the previous Hundred Flowers Banquet, so why was she so active this time?
"There are still two days left for the Hundred Flowers Banquet. I haven't decided whether to go or not. Let's not rush for now." Ruan Wanwan was not in a hurry to agree to the fourth princess.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet happens every year, and it is a bit boring. It is reasonable for Ruan Wanwan not to agree directly, and it did not make the fourth princess think too much.
"In that case, let's wait until the Crown Princess has thought about it before making a decision." After thinking for a while, the fourth princess looked up at Ruan Wanwan.
Afraid that she would continue to ask about her pregnancy, Ruan Wanwan nodded in agreement and ordered the fourth princess to be sent away.
Not long after the fourth princess left, Jiang Huaiyuan came.
Seeing Jiang Huaiyuan coming, Ruan Wanwan told her what happened just now.
"So this is what you are talking about." Jiang Huaiyuan laughed after hearing Ruan Wanwan's words: "The palace recently held a hundred-flower banquet, and another purpose was to choose a husband for the fifth princess. She has also reached the age to get married.
But I haven’t chosen a husband for a long time. Maybe the fourth princess already has a suitable candidate in her mind, but she doesn’t know how to ask, so she wants to drag you along."
Seeing this, Ruan Wanwan suddenly realized. No wonder she felt a little hesitant when she looked at the fourth princess just now.
Jiang Huaiyuan came just to see if Ruan Wanwan was doing well recently, and felt relieved after seeing that she was fine.
"While you are living in Fengyi Palace, I will take good care of the prince's residence for you. You must take good care of yourself and let me relieve you of this burden as soon as possible.
"Jiang Huaiyuan looked at Ruan Wanwan with a smile and said.
When she said this, Ruan Wanwan felt a little bit dumbfounded.
"How long have I been using you? The days to come are still long, so don't worry." Ruan Wanwan shook her head and looked at Jiang Huaiyuan helplessly and said.
Jiang Huaiyuan sighed: "Then what happens in the future is in the future. If you can be lazy now, you will naturally be lazy."
After the two chatted for a while, thinking that Ruan Wanwan was not very energetic after dealing with the fourth princess today, Jiang Huaiyuan stood up to say goodbye and prepared to leave.
After Jiang Huaiyuan left, Qiuyue stepped forward and looked at Ruan Wanwan calmly and asked: "My Lady, do you want to participate in this Hundred Flowers Banquet? If necessary, I will prepare it for you in advance."
Should you go or not? That is a question.
The fifth princess is not very familiar with her. The main purpose of this Hundred Flowers Banquet is to choose a husband for her. She can go or not.
It's just that her body is a little heavy now. If she goes, she will be tired again.
"Forget it, let's not go. Anyway, I have been telling others that I am ill. They should be able to figure it out. It's okay if I don't go." Ruan Wanwan said with a casual shrug.
But as soon as she decided not to go, the decree from the palace came out.
The queen actually issued an order herself, asking Ruan Wanwan to take charge of the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
"Mother, do you mean to let me take care of it?" After hearing this, Ruan Wanwan's face flashed with surprise.
The palace maid who came to deliver the letter nodded: "What the Queen means is that the Crown Princess will take over the palace sooner or later. You will have to do these things sooner or later, so why not practice with this Hundred Flowers Banquet first?
.”
After hearing this, Ruan Wanwan suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She wanted to refuse, but it seemed like she couldn't refuse now.
"Then tell your mother, I will definitely handle this matter well." Ruan Wanwan said after thinking about it seriously.
After the palace maid got the letter, she went back and reported the matter to the queen.
