Chapter 794: Hypocritical Crown Princess 2
Chapter 794: Hypocritical Crown Princess 2
The original owner's wish was very simple, which was to take revenge on Shen Qinglan, to trample Shen Qinglan, the Crown Princess, under her feet, and to let Shen Qinglan taste a thousand times the pain that the original owner had suffered.
It’s no wonder that the original owner hated Shen Qinglan so much. After all, she had been loyal to Shen Qinglan since she was a child. Even her mother died because of Shen Qinglan. It can be said that if it weren’t for the original owner’s mother, Shen Qinglan would have died long ago.
But what did Shen Qinglan do? Just because of a few words from the prince, he actually tortured the original owner like that. Even if Shen Qinglan gave the original owner a quick death, the original owner might not hate Shen Qinglan so much.
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die," Jiang Chunxi kowtowed several times. "My lady, I know that my status is lowly. The fact that I have attracted the attention of the prince is definitely not because of my appearance. On the contrary, it is possible that the prince wants to use me to warn you."
Then, Jiang Chunxi looked up at Shen Qinglan, and then continued to say with fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, think about it! All the concubines in the Eastern Palace are beautiful in their own ways. As for my appearance, let alone compared with the most beautiful Pan Liangdi, I can't even compare with the least beautiful Dong Shiqie."
"So how could the prince possibly be interested in me? You should know that none of the concubines in the Eastern Palace were born as palace maids. This is enough to prove that the prince attaches great importance to the origins of the women he favors. For a humble maid like me, no matter how beautiful I am, the prince will not condescend to take me into his room."
The anger on Shen Qinglan's face subsided a little: "Okay, get up and talk!"
"Yes," Jiang Chunxi stood up and respectfully walked to Shen Qinglan's side. She took the tea from the little palace maid and handed it to Shen Qinglan. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying a few more words. The reason why the prince is using me to warn you today is actually to make you stand up quickly."
"After all, it is really unreasonable for me to be in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace. You should know that you are only the Crown Princess now, but you will be the mother of the country in the future. Do you want to hand over the power of the six palaces to me when you become the Queen?"
In fact, anyone with a little bit of brains would know that Jiang Chunxi's words were nonsense, but Shen Qinglan was a brainless person, so Jiang Chunxi fooled her easily: "Alas! In the end, it's because the prince loves you too much."
"Think about it! If the prince didn't love you, why would he be so harsh on you and insist on making you stand up?"
"But it is also true. After all, you are the Crown Prince's first wife, so how can the Crown Prince not love and respect you? You should know that the four words 'husband and wife are one' are not just a casual remark."
Jiang Chunxi's next words really touched Shen Qinglan's heart, which finally made her smile: "Yes! You are right, I and the prince are husband and wife, how can other women compare? Pan Liangdi took advantage of the prince's favor to her a little bit, and never took me, the prince's consort, seriously."
"If I don't want to upset the Crown Prince, I would have never forgiven Pan Liangdi. I would have taught her a lesson and let her know the difference between a wife and a concubine."
Jiang Chunxi couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.
Haha! You are a coward who only talks big behind people's backs.
"Alas!" Shen Qinglan frowned and sighed, "But my head hurts when I see the account book. What should I do?"
Shen Qinglan didn't want to disappoint the prince, but she really couldn't handle all the trivial matters in the Eastern Palace and the account book that was like a heavenly book!
"My lady, don't you still have me?" Jiang Chunxi said quickly, "During this period, in order to share your worries, I often went to learn from Nanny Tan. Now I can understand the account book."
Nanny Tan was the prince's wet nurse. The original owner did often send food to Nanny Tan, and naturally used the name of Shen Qinglan.
The reason why the original owner did this was naturally for Shen Qinglan's own good. Nanny Tan could gain the trust of the prince. In addition, she was also the prince's wet nurse, so Nanny Tan naturally had a certain weight in the prince's heart.
The original owner used her master's name to please Nanny Tan, just so that Nanny Tan could say a few good words for her master in front of the prince.
This is the sadness of following an unreliable master. The original owner could be said to have been worried sick about his master, Shen Qinglan.
The most speechless thing is that she had to hide her attempt to please Nanny Tan from Shen Qinglan. Otherwise, with Shen Qinglan's noble character, if she knew that the original owner was using her name to please Nanny Tan, she would definitely scold her.
"No wonder I can't find you sometimes," Shen Qinglan glanced at Jiang Chunxi, "So you went to find Nanny Tan to learn from her, but you just learned how to read the account book. What does this have to do with me?"
"Oh! My good master, why don't you understand?" Jiang Chunxi said anxiously, "Which mistress would spend so much energy looking at the account books and housekeeping? They just tell the subordinates to do it, and they just need to control the main things themselves."
"In the final analysis, the so-called housekeeping ability of the mistress of the house is actually the ability to control people. As long as you can control people properly, the so-called housekeeper does not need to do everything personally."
"The same principle applies to the imperial palace. Take the queen for example. She is in charge of the six palaces. If the queen really relies on herself to handle the affairs of the six palaces, then even if she split herself in half, it still wouldn't be enough!"
"So, you just need to take over the power of the East Palace. There are people under you to help you share your worries, and there are servants to help you keep an eye on it all the time. What else do you have to worry about?"
"Yes! You are right." Shen Qinglan was obviously convinced by Jiang Chunxi. "Then when the prince returns to the East Palace after the court session, I will go to the prince to ask for the East Palace's account book. I am the crown princess, and it is not appropriate to let Nanny Tan handle the affairs of the East Palace all the time."
Then, Shen Qinglan looked at Jiang Chunxi and said, "Are you sure you can understand the account books and handle the affairs of the Eastern Palace in an orderly manner without making any mistakes and embarrassing me?"
"Don't worry, your majesty. I will never embarrass you. Just wait for the prince to praise you for your ability to rule your subordinates!" Jiang Chunxi's compliments naturally made Shen Qinglan feel comfortable all over, and her mood was extremely good.
"My queen, the time for paying respects is almost here, so let me dress you up!" Jiang Chunxi continued, "Otherwise, if Dai Liangdi and the others are waiting, they will probably say something mean to you. After all, the prince stayed at your place last night, and Dai Liangdi and the others don't know how to envy and hate you last night."
Shen Qinglan's expression showed his strong agreement with Jiang Chunxi's words.
Jiang Chunxi helped Shen Qinglan to sit down at the dressing table. When she picked up the comb to comb Shen Qinglan's hair, she praised Shen Qinglan from head to toe, and praised Shen Qinglan from head to toe, as if she was a goddess from the nine heavens who had descended to the earth.
Shen Qinglan's face was filled with joy, but she still pretended to scold Jiang Chunxi for talking nonsense, saying that there are always people better than you.
In short, Jiang Chunxi almost rolled her eyes.
