Chapter 691: Thoughts of All Parties (Part 3)
The rooster crows and the world becomes bright.
Sun Shaozong pulled his arms out from the array of pink legs and was about to push aside the small clothes on the bedside table and find his own clothes, but You Erjie, who was awakened nearby, hurriedly pushed Caixia and told her to help Sun Shaozong get dressed and wash.
Although Caixia was very sleepy, her habit as a maid for many years made her get up immediately and search around the bedside with sleepy eyes.
Seeing the tight piece of cloth hanging on the stocking on her left leg, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but have some lustful thoughts.
But I have a lot of important things to do today, so how can I get stuck in this gentle place?
So he turned his gaze away, stood up resolutely, let the two women help him get dressed, and told them not to get up in a hurry, and then went straight to the outer room.
Just as I asked the maid to fetch some warm water for washing, I saw the gatekeeper hurried over and carefully peeked inside through the door frame.
Sun Shaozong took a towel and wiped it, and asked without turning his head: "What happened?"
"Reporting to the Second Master."
The old woman hurriedly stepped into the hall and bowed to report: "Someone has come from the Prince's Mansion. Please take some time to come over."
Tsk~
In fact, Sun Shaozong had originally planned to visit the Prince's Mansion.
Now that the prince was in a hurry to send someone to summon him, it made him seem a little passive.
wrong!
Sun Shaozong threw the towel onto the rack and asked suspiciously, "Did the people from the Crown Prince's Mansion really tell me to go there when I have time, instead of going there right away?"
"this……"
The old woman hesitated for a while, then said awkwardly, "Please wait, I'll go ask the messenger."
Having said that, he went outside as fast as he could fly.
Sun Shaozong curled his lips speechlessly, then took out the tooth powder and toothbrush and rinsed his mouth beside the flower bed in front of the door.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, the old woman came back and shouted from a distance, "Second Master, Butler Zhao has already made inquiries and he really wants you to take some time off to come."
Take some time to go?
Sun Shaozong nodded to indicate that he understood, while calculating rapidly in his mind.
According to his understanding of the prince, this guy is a mildly manic person. Especially when he is emotionally excited, he will not wait even a moment if he wants to find him.
Now he sent someone here so early in the morning, but he said something like taking some time to go for a visit - either the servant conveyed the wrong message, or this was not the prince's intention.
It's fine if the words were misspoken, but if they didn't come from the prince...
Is there something fishy going on here?
never mind!
There would be no result if I thought about it more. I might as well go to the Prince's residence and see what happens.
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong was too lazy to eat breakfast. He ordered someone to get a woolen cloak, and after telling You Erjie about it, he went to the front yard, got on the carriage, and headed straight for the Prince's Mansion.
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
As expected, the person eagerly waiting in the Prince's Mansion at this time was not the Prince himself, but the Crown Princess Sun.
It turned out that yesterday, when the prince heard that Concubine Xian De was pregnant, he locked himself in the study. No matter who came, he just told them to get out. Even those who came to light the lamps and bring charcoal were scolded out by him.
Since he lost his foundation, the prince's body has not been very strong, and the wind blew in the second half of the night, so the boiled chicken was like a frozen chicken that had been frozen all night.
Although the couple are becoming more and more like strangers now, the Crown Princess couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when she saw his appearance, so she decided to send someone to invite Sun Shaozong to her house for a chat.
"My lady."
The Crown Princess was in the flower hall, sipping a cup of almond juice in a daze, when she heard someone beside her whisper, "After all, the Sun family is related to the Rongguo Mansion by marriage. At this time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid they may not be willing to come, right?"
The Crown Princess looked up and saw that the person who spoke was the concubine Zhou Menglian.
Zhou Menglian was previously banished to the cold palace by the crown prince and had been imprisoned there for more than two years. She was only released a few days ago after Sun Shaozong suggested that the crown prince should not get close to eunuchs and should behave like a man.
After hearing what she said, the Crown Princess couldn't help but sigh inwardly: No wonder she was detained for two years and didn't know how to save herself.
Then the Crown Princess said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense! Lord Sun is so loyal, how could he abandon Your Highness at this time?"
The first part is fine, but the second part of the sentence is so certain - it is still unclear whether the baby in Jia Yuanchun's belly is a boy or a girl, and only a foolish woman like Zhou Menglian would think that the prince's fate is lost.
certainly……
The prince probably thought so too.
Thinking of this, the Crown Princess couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, a maid came . As soon as she entered the room, she said happily: "Madam, Lord Sun has arrived! Do you want to take him directly to the study, or..."
"Master Sun has arrived?!"
The Crown Princess stood up suddenly and almost spilled the almond tea in her hand on her wrist. She quickly put the cup on the coffee table and opened her mouth to give instructions, but the words were swallowed back into her throat.
She paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, gritted her teeth and said, "Go and ask Lord Sun to come over. Let me give him a few words of advice first. It won't be too late to see the Crown Prince later."
The maid immediately took the order, but Zhou Menglian, who was standing next to her, panicked and walked around to the Crown Princess, bowed and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I dare not see outsiders. I will take my leave first ..."
"What nonsense!"
The Crown Princess was really angry this time. Wasn't Zhou Menglian's words accusing her of having an affair with a man outside her?
So she immediately scolded him with a cold face, angrily saying: "Now His Highness is in danger... trouble, you and I, as wives, should help him solve his problems. How can we lose the greater good because of a small matter?!"
Seeing Zhou Menglian's timid and shrunken neck like a quail, she softened her words: "Besides, Lord Sun is my cousin, how can he be considered an outsider?"
This is calculated based on the two families' relationship, but in fact, if you look into it carefully, it doesn't count.
But how could Zhou Menglian dare to refute?
I could only respond obediently and carefully retreat to a corner.
Not long after, the maid outside reported that Sun Shaozong had arrived in the courtyard. The Crown Princess immediately took a few steps forward to greet him, and stopped at the threshold just right.
Upon seeing this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly bowed to the ground in front of the door and said, "Your humble servant Sun Shaozong greets the queen. "
Seeing the muscular man, who even with his body bent still looked much more muscular than the others, the Crown Princess' heart skipped a beat for no reason and her face flushed.
After calming herself down, she reached out her hand and said, "Master Sun, there is no need to be so polite."
Then he stepped back a few steps, held out his hand and said, "Sir, please come in and talk."
Sun Shaozong straightened his back slightly, but still lowered his eyebrows, and did not take a step forward. He asked, "I wonder where His Highness is?"
"Your Highness is now in the study..."
"Rong Weichen will go to see you immediately!"
As he spoke, Sun Shaozong lowered his head and took a few steps back.
"this……"
The Crown Princess frowned slightly. She actually just wanted to discuss with Sun Shaozong how to persuade the Crown Prince, and didn't think about anything else.
Now seeing Sun Shaozong taking the initiative to distance himself from the matter, he felt a strange bitterness in his heart.
But she was a rational person after all, so she didn't say much and ordered loudly: "Come, take Lord Sun to the study."
