First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 446: The Queen and the Prince Consort Have a Deep Relationship

"But to prevent anything from happening to the Prince of Chenliu, my men have already followed him," Wei Ling said to Su Jixiang, "We must ensure that our Prince of Chenliu comes safely and returns safely."

"All sorts of great figures have come out to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday." Su Jixiang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. "The Daxie Dynasty is also undercurrent surging."

"Madam, you don't need to worry about these. I have my own plans. Madam, just accompany me to eat, drink and have fun." Wei Ling stroked Su Jixiang's hair and said with a smile.

Su Jixiang gave him a sidelong glance.

Wei Ling is indeed better than her in these aspects, so she doesn't need to remind Wei Ling of all those trivial things.

His experience will make him not take these aspects lightly.

Su Jixiang spent the next two days in the mansion both busy and comfortable. Su Jixiang had originally planned to simply pack a few bags and leave. However, Wei Ling, however, made a big fuss about the matter, as if he was afraid everyone in the capital would not know. He bought all sorts of things, and the purchase of horses alone caused quite a stir among the nobles. Later, he ordered people to rush overnight to make riding clothes, jewelry suitable for horseback riding and hunting, as well as whips, saddles, and other items. In short, he went all over the capital shopping, buying only the most expensive things!

The Princess's Mansion naturally knew that Wei Ling was going to take Su Jixiang hunting, and the Princess even went to the palace specifically to ask His Majesty about this matter.

After learning that Wei Ling had agreed to temporarily hand over his troops in order to take Su Jixiang hunting, he became furious.

"Your Majesty, we've been deceived by that bastard Wei Ling!" The eldest princess said angrily, her eyes filled with resentment. "He said he had bad feelings for his wife, but now it seems it was all a lie! He's deceiving you!"

"I understand." Emperor Longchang was calm and composed. He was reviewing the memorials and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, aren't you angry?" The eldest princess looked at her brother in surprise.

"What's the point of being angry?" Emperor Longchang snorted coldly. "I didn't personally ask if they treated Madam badly. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame those spies I sent to the north. They were blinded by greed! They couldn't even see through this trick! You say they're deceiving the emperor, but do you have any evidence?"

"Then Your Majesty, why don't you detain his wife?" The eldest princess said unconvinced.

"Of course I have to!" Emperor Longchang raised his eyes and glanced at his sister. "You don't have to be so angry. Wei Ling has revealed his true colors this time. If he wants to return to the Northland in the future, he won't be able to take his wife with him no matter what!"

The princess's expression brightened slightly when she heard this. "Once Wei Ling leaves, leaving only that lowly palace maid in the capital, I wonder how he'll be able to protect this woman!"

"I advise my sister not to act rashly." Emperor Longchang frowned slightly. "Wei Ling is ultimately a high-ranking official in charge of a large army. Keeping his wife in the capital is just a way to control him. If you are angry, you must be patient."

"Your Majesty! We are the royal family! This Daxie is our world!" The princess' eyes widened upon hearing this and said, "Wei Ling is indeed powerful, but can't we find someone to replace him now?"

Emperor Longchang still frowned and looked at the eldest princess without blinking.

The eldest princess gradually showed a sense of guilt under the contempt of Emperor Longchang. "I understand. I will not bother her for the time being!"

"You need to change your impulsive temper!" Seeing that the princess's arrogance had been suppressed by him, Emperor Longchang's expression softened. He sighed softly and said softly, "You are lucky to have a prince consort who is so devoted to you. If it were someone else, they would have been scared away by your violent temper long ago!"

Seeing Emperor Longchang mention the Prince Consort, the eldest princess's eyes lit up with a hint of smile, "The Prince Consort is a timid person, but he has a good temper!

"Okay. If you have nothing to do, please leave first. I still have a lot of things to deal with here!" Seeing that the eldest princess had finally swallowed her anger, Emperor Longchang ordered her to leave.

I’m afraid this silly elder sister of mine doesn’t even know what kind of person the prince consort is!

The eldest princess knew that if she stayed any longer she would be disliked, so she simply left the emperor's side.

As soon as she got on the carriage, her personal maid came over and said, "Your Highness, I have found out everything you asked me to do before!"

That nanny was one of the eldest princess's wet nurses. She had been with the eldest princess for so many years and had earned her trust. Even her son and grandson worked under the eldest princess, which was very prestigious. Her surname was Qian.

Nanny Qian looked at the eldest princess with a strange expression on her face.

The princess glanced at her sideways and asked, "Are you talking about the stable?"

"Yes." Nanny Qian nodded.

"Just say it! Why do you look so hesitant?" The eldest princess glanced at her wet nurse impatiently.

She had previously discovered that Wei Ling had bought over a dozen fine horses and had intended to have the stable staff tamper with them before sending them to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence. However, the stable staff refused to listen and were one of those stubborn people who refused to listen to her. This had infuriated the princess.

The eldest princess knew that those who could open stables in the capital had powerful backers, but there were few people in the capital who dared not give her face.

If it were any other stable, even if they knew that doing so would offend the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion, they would probably rather offend the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion than the Princess's Mansion!

The worst that can happen is that after it is discovered, I will just have to compensate the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion!

But Ma She was really stubborn for directly blaming her.

So the eldest princess asked her wet nurse to investigate the person behind the stable.

Originally, based on the abilities of the people around the princess, they thought the person behind the stable was the prince consort, but Wei Ling's people were there to fan the flames!

After some fiddling, the wet nurse actually found out that the person leaning against the stable was her own prince consort!

That's why she had such a constipated expression in front of the eldest princess, wanting to say something but not knowing how.

The wet nurse thought about it again and again, but she still couldn't do it on her own master's back.

She whispered a few words to the eldest princess and told her everything she had sent people to investigate.

The eldest princess sat up straight in an instant, her face filled with shock. "What did you say?" She looked at her wet nurse with disbelief, her face darkening. "Do you know that if you lie, even I won't let you go! I have been married to my husband for so many years, and we have a deep affection for him. He has never concealed anything from me!"
