The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Chapter 299: Endless Laughter

The excitement in the Fifth Prince's mansion could not be concealed, and soon the people in the city knew that the Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi had a fight.

There was a lot of discussion at the time, and everyone said that the Fifth Prince was a coward and was so shameful that he could be beaten and scolded at will by the ladies in the mansion.

At this time, someone said, "Don't you know who this princess is? The Fifth Prince was rejected all because he wanted to be with this princess. It's possible that she was just flirting with him."

Of course, this is just said to fool people, and no one would believe it. Who would flirt to the point of calling a doctor?

"It's better to say that this princess has been spoiled by the Fifth Prince to the point of lawlessness!"

"Otherwise, it's said that the Fifth Prince is useless. If the current emperor knew that the Fifth Prince couldn't even manage the backyard, he would probably scold him again."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around laughed maliciously. They all knew that the Fifth Prince was carried out of the palace a while ago, and it had only been a few days.

It's really an endless joke.

At Prince Guo's mansion, the servant quickly brought back this piece of gossip.

Prince Guo was quite confused. "What did you say? The Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi got into a fight? Madam, did I hear correctly?"

Mei Ruo nodded seriously, "You heard it right."

"Yan'er, what's going on? A few days ago, weren't they still madly in love with each other? And they even came to our house to make trouble?"

Prince Guo felt that as an old man, he could hardly keep up with the pace of the young people. Love, hate, separation and parting happened so quickly?

Jingyan looked at Yongheng with some confusion.

She didn't know either. These days, she was detained at home by her mother waiting to get married. When she was finally able to go out, she played with Fu Ling'an and hadn't seen Xinrong for a long time.

When he said this, Yongheng straightened his back. He had been hanging out a lot these days and had heard some gossip.

"The reason is that the Fifth Prince has taken in a concubine, and he should be going to the palace to announce the decree today."

When he said this, Prince Guo patted his head lightly and said, "Yes, look at my brain. I have heard this story a lot."

"Could this concubine be Cai Lian?" Jing Yan roughly understood why.

"Smart!" Yongheng clapped his hands. "Everyone knows Cailian. Xiaoyanzi has always disliked her. This might be her outburst."

Qing'er: "So if Xiaoyanzi was jealous, she shouldn't have attacked Yongqi. Given Xiaoyanzi's personality, shouldn't she have attacked Cailian?"

Mei Ruo asked curiously, "Is it possible that the Fifth Prince is protecting this new beauty?"

Qing'er and Jingyan looked at each other, both of them had complicated expressions. The Fifth Prince's love-brainedness was actually inappropriate.

Yongheng shrugged. "That's what I said, but the specific situation is probably only known to the people in their house."

Qing'er suddenly thought of something. "Fifth Prince was beaten with seventy boards a while ago. Isn't Xiaoyanzi also in poor health? The two of them are torturing like this..."

Before Qing'er finished speaking, everyone knew what she meant.

Yes, instead of taking good care of a seriously injured person and a seriously ill person, they are fighting. They really want their lives to be too long.

Prince Guo sighed for a moment: "Young man, you still don't know how to take care of your own body."

Jingyan didn't say anything else. She suddenly remembered that in the play, after the Fifth Prince went to Dali to find Xiaoyanzi, the emperor directly announced the death of the Fifth Prince. So they probably won't go to Dali this time. How will the story develop?

"Hey! What are you thinking about?" Yongheng pushed Jingyan, interrupting her deep thoughts.

"Ah?" Jing Yan looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him.

Mei Ruo stepped forward and smoothed Jing Yan's hair. "What are you thinking about, kid? Go and pack up. We'll go to the palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager and have dinner with her."

"okay."

Jingyan and Qing'er walked to the backyard together. Qing'er asked quietly, "I saw you in a daze just now. What were you thinking about?"

"I was just thinking about what you were thinking. I can't figure out why they are going through so much trouble."

Qing'er shook her head. She thought that even the person involved couldn't figure out this kind of thing.

"You're responsible for this. We outsiders all know about Xiaoyanzi's situation, so how could she not know? She just doesn't care. The same goes for the Fifth Prince."

"Forget it, forget it. Please help me think of what clothes to change into." Jingyan pulled Qing'er to stand in front of the wardrobe and asked Qing'er to give him some suggestions.

Without even thinking, Qing'er gave a very appropriate suggestion, "Wear light green, it will look cool."

Upon hearing this, Nian'er, who was waiting beside her, immediately chose a few light green dresses.

"Then when we get to the palace, let's sneak away and play with Hanxiang while the elders are talking."

"Okay, I still remember some of the moves of the Hui dance that Hanxiang taught us last time." When she said this, Qing'er blushed when she thought of the scene when she was dancing for someone.

Jingyan looked at Qing'er and saw her face turning red as she spoke, feeling a little confused.

"Why are you blushing?"

"Ah? No? Oh, hurry up and get dressed. I'll go back and come find you after I've washed up." After saying that, Qing'er ran away as if she was running for her life.

Jingyan and Nian'er looked at each other in bewilderment. "Nian'er, she blushed just now. Did you see it?"

Nian'er nodded heavily.

When going to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, the topic naturally came up: Yongqi and the new concubine.

The Empress Dowager disagreed. "The Emperor was originally dissatisfied. Yongqi had caused such a scene over Xiaoyanzi, and he was even more restless after the marriage. He couldn't even be happy with the two of them, so isn't it ridiculous to take in another woman?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head repeatedly as she spoke, simply not understanding why Concubine Yu was so persistent.

Jing Yan asked, "Then why did the Emperor suddenly issue another decree?"

The old lady sighed, "Concubine Yu is ill."

"Ah? Concubine Yu is sick?" Everyone was a little shocked.

"Perhaps it's a mental illness. In short, it's not good. She said her greatest wish is to see Yongqi have a successor. If the emperor doesn't agree with her on this matter, I'm really afraid she will become depressed."

"Empress Yu is so confused. Why does she have to force herself like this?" Mei Ruo shook her head helplessly. This Concubine Yu just couldn't think straight and trapped herself in a dead end.

The Empress Dowager nodded. "Yes, I and the Queen both think so, but there's nothing we can do about it. No one can make the decision for Concubine Yu, right?"

"Does Fifth Prince know what's going on with Concubine Yu?"

When the Fifth Prince was mentioned, the Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "Him? He's probably too busy messing around with the women in the backyard to even remember his mother."

In the past, the Empress Dowager liked this grandson very much. After all, the Fifth Prince was the most outstanding young man of their generation. He was sensible and filial, which made it impossible for the elder not to like him.

As a result, seeing him become like this step by step, the old lady was disappointed and annoyed.
