Long Live the Empress

Chapter 238 The Prince Visits

Jinyuyuan

Nanny Qin was reporting in detail to Yue Jinghao what happened in the mansion today.

"Just when the young lady had just left the house, the prince came to visit with gifts, under the pretext of coming to see the second young lady's pregnancy. The gifts he brought were also for each courtyard, and according to etiquette, each courtyard came to thank the prince for the reward... But young lady, you have left the house, so this old servant thanked you on your behalf..."

Nanny Qin paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued, "I don't know if it's because I'm not polite enough, but I can see that the prince doesn't look as happy as when he first arrived..."

"Oh? How did you know that, Ma?" Yue Jinghao took a sip of hot tea and said slowly.

"That's right... When the Second Miss learned that the Crown Prince came to see her, she hurried over. The Crown Prince was also very concerned about the Second Miss and asked her all sorts of questions... But when this old servant informed the Crown Prince that the Second Miss was not in the mansion, the Crown Prince never looked at the Second Miss again. Even when he spoke, he only gave a perfunctory answer to the Second Miss's question..."

Yue Jinghao just thought that the prince was picking on her because she didn't go to thank him in person, so she didn't take it to heart, "And then?"

"Then... I don't know what day it is today, but the fourth prince came right after the crown prince left... He also prepared generous gifts for each courtyard. You didn't see it, but the old lady was so happy that her mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear!"

Yue Jinghao chuckled. Her snobbish grandmother must have been overjoyed to see the two princes coming to visit her personally...

"The Third Miss was originally unhappy because she saw the Crown Prince coming and the Second Miss was so proud of herself. Now that the Fourth Prince has come, the Third Miss has dressed up like a flower and serves him." Nanny Qin leaned close to Yue Jinghao's ear and whispered, "They also went to the Third Miss's yard and sent all the servants away. They were gone for most of the day. When the Third Miss came out again, her clothes and makeup had changed..."

Yue Jinghao sneered, "My grandmother is really old and confused. If the behavior of the two of them were to spread out, how would the Yue family maintain its reputation? She is just a concubine of the prince, but she is so indulgent. She really doesn't leave any way for other sisters to survive..."

"That's right. During the last winter banquet, people all over the capital were talking about how the young lady of our Yue Mansion shamelessly seduced the prince. Wouldn't that mean that young lady and the fourth young lady would also be talked about? The old lady didn't even think about how the second and third young ladies were married off! She even thought that our Yue Mansion's ancestors were guilty of something! I get angry just thinking about it!" Agate has always been a quick-talker. She blurted out everything in one go, regardless of whether Yue Jinghao was happy or not.

Nanny Qin felt that what Manjushri said was a bit too much, so she coughed lightly.

Manjue finally came to her senses and bowed to Yue Jinghao, saying, "Miss, I deserve to die!"

Yue Jinghao shook her head. "You are telling the truth. You know the truth, but my grandmother was blinded by lard..."

Yue Jinghao was really tired today. She didn't say anything more and just took a shower and went to bed.

In fact, after the winter banquet scandal, the old lady initially felt that she had lost all her face because of Yue Jinghong and Yue Yuyan. But today, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince came to visit the mansion in person with generous gifts, which made the old lady feel that since her two granddaughters were so valued by the two princes, even if they were concubines now, they might be promoted to the principal wife in the future just by virtue of their favor! Then their Yue Mansion would have a Crown Princess!

The Crown Princess is the future Queen of Wei! What a great honor!

So the old lady thought positively. She didn't believe that if a crown princess appeared in the Yue Mansion in the future, the remaining granddaughters would have trouble finding a husband!
