Chapter 499: The Foxy Method
The subordinates listened and dared not say much. Even if the princess was wrong, it was not their place to interfere.
"Send someone to tell the princess that I will not return home tonight." Zhao Chi stood up, stretched, and walked out.
"Excuse me, Sir, would you like to harness the carriage?" The servant was nervous, having already anticipated how furious the princess would be after hearing the news.
"No need! I'll go on horseback!" Zhao Chi waved his hand. Were the dancers in Youlan Garden not more romantic than the princess? He couldn't handle the princess's stubborn temper.
How could he, the prince and future prince, be controlled by a mere princess?
Over there in the main courtyard, Princess Ling Shuang was looking at Luo Shuhuan in shock with her mouth open.
"You're crazy! No way, no way!" She shook her head like a rattle, "I can't do it!"
"Princess! If you still want to reconcile with the prince, you must humble yourself! Although you are a noble and precious person, the prince was also brought up in pampering. He will definitely be soft-hearted and will not tolerate hardship. If you refuse, I'm afraid we will have to keep the cold war for a long time!"
As Luo Shuhuan spoke, he carefully observed the princess's expression. When he saw the wavering look on her face, he knew that she was moved.
Princess Ling Shuang looked unhappy. "How can I, a princess, do such a thing? This has nothing to do with..."
"What's the difference between this and a prostitute in a brothel? Won't he look down on her?" The princess was still unhappy. She was of noble status and could not do that.
"Then don't worry, Princess. The prince will always come back when he is tired. Anyway, you are his legal wife, and you have the support of the princess and the emperor. The prince won't dare to go too far."
Luo Shuhuan rolled her eyes secretly. She didn't want her man to go out and have fun, but she was unwilling to lower herself to lower herself. So wasn't she just going to be left alone in an empty room?
She at least put aside her status as a rich lady and gave him some advice, but he just couldn't do anything. Well! You just stay at home and worry about it!
If it weren't for her status as a concubine's daughter and her need to rely on her status as the princess's best friend, would she need to be so earnest here? In her previous life, except for that little puppy, who wasn't subdued by her?
A man like the Prince of Rongguo probably doesn't like reserved ladies from noble families.
The princess suddenly looked at Jiang Youzhen with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
"How do you, a girl in the boudoir, know all this?"
Luo Shuhuan's face froze, and then he stammered, "You forgot that my biological mother was a concubine..."
Lord Ling Shuang suddenly realized and despised her at the same time. It was no wonder that the foxy girl was so unpresentable that she would resort to such tricks. But she had to be careful in the future, lest this foxy girl hook up with the prince.
After all, the prince is handsome and of noble status. Even if a concubine like Luo Shuhuan becomes a concubine in the future, she may become a concubine and be included in the royal imperial genealogy.
However, Luo Shuhuan also cursed in his heart, thinking that he had worked so hard but was met with such doubts, what a piece of shit.
"The county lord feels embarrassed. I heard that there are some spices to add to the fun and put them in the incense burner..." Luo Shuhuan suddenly said.
Princess Ling Shuang glanced at her after hearing this, and then said, "After all, this is not the right path."
No matter how much these two sisters criticize each other in their hearts, they still get together.
Five days later, Jiang Youzhen finally had his first day off in the Imperial College.
"Uncle Sixteen, I want to take a day off today. My mother has never seen the world, so I want to take her to the market."
Jiang Youzhen had just finished his breakfast when Xiaoniu, who came to pay his respects, spoke cautiously.
After wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Jiang Youzhen then remembered that Xiaoniu's mother had also come with them and was living in the house. It was said that she was rushing to do the servant's work every day.
Jiang Youzhen didn't say anything after she found out. She knew that the other person would definitely feel uncomfortable if she didn't let him work.
It just so happened that Xiao Niu and Jiang Zhizhou were currently learning to read and write as well as to read account books from the steward at home, and they had not been to the market since coming to the capital.
"It's my oversight. Tell Naofune later that you two can go out for a walk today."
Jiang Youzhen nodded. The two of them received two taels of silver per month, and their food and lodging were all provided in the mansion, and clothes for all four seasons were also provided by the mansion.
"No!" Xiao Niu blushed all the way to his neck. He had recovered a lot in the past few days. His face had gained some flesh and his skin was whiter than before.
"No, Uncle Sixteen is very busy." Xiao Niu was a little tongue-tied and just kept shaking his head.
"You just arrived in the capital, so you probably have a lot to buy. Go find Manager Luo from the outer courtyard and ask him to give you and Zhizhou five taels of silver each. It's hard to go shopping in the market without silver."
Hearing this, Xiao Niu shook his head like a rattle, "The monthly salary I gave you before has not been touched. I have silver."
"Take it! I didn't ask you what you want to buy when I came to the capital. This little bit of money is a personal allowance from the elders to the younger generation."
Jiang Youzhen had been in the Imperial College before, and had not paid much attention to the progress of his two nephews in the past few days. However, the two of them learned some rules and paid respects to their elders every morning and evening, without missing a single time.
"Thank you, Uncle Sixteen!" Xiao Niu's eyes were moist. He had never dared to imagine such a good day before.
"I heard that you asked the servants in your mansion to bring books to the bookstore for you?" Jiang Youzhen suddenly said.
Xiao Niu couldn't help but sweat on his forehead when he heard this. For some reason, he was very afraid of his sixteenth uncle who was three years older than him.
Because Uncle Sixteen has a very strong aura, especially when he is serious, which makes him feel oppressive.
He also heard a lot about his Sixteenth Uncle from the steward, such as the new policies of the court and how to make money by opening a shop, which made him admire Jiang Youzhen and also feel more in awe of him.
"I just wanted to buy a book to practice calligraphy. The steward taught me the characters, and I wanted to remember them."
"I have a lot of books in my study room. If you need anything, just tell Qing Lang and the others and come in and pick it yourself."
Jiang Youzhen looked at Xiao Niu as she spoke, only to find that his face turned pale in an instant, as if he was very afraid of her. She couldn't help but be speechless.
Why does she look so scary? Why is this guy so scared?
"Do you want to study?" Jiang Youzhen said after pondering for a moment.
Xiao Niu was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud, "No! Uncle Sixteen, I just want to learn the skills of an accountant and work for you in the future."
Jiang Youzhen was startled by his actions and quickly stood up and helped Xiao Niu up.
"What are you doing? Although I am your elder, I don't have the habit of asking juniors to kneel down at every turn."
Jiang Youzhen frowned. Why did this kid become more timid after coming to the capital?
"Do you know why I agreed to bring you to the capital?"
Xiao Niu said without hesitation: "Uncle Sixteen is kind-hearted. Seeing my mother and I begging so hard, he gave me a chance."
Xiao Niu deeply remembered this kindness. If it weren’t for Uncle Sixteen, they might not have survived the winter.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Youzhen shook his head, "No! It's because of your eager and stubborn eyes. I am very moved by your ability to do so much to fight for an opportunity."
