She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life
Chapter 68: The Scheming Princess 25
The dawns came late in winter, and it was still dark when Xiao Chongyu returned to the East Palace.
It was almost the time for him to get up as usual. He returned to his bedroom, changed his clothes, and sat down on the bed.
Not long after, Ji Ming and the steward knocked on the door outside: "Your Highness, it's time to get up."
Xiao Chongyu didn't like people serving him closely, so several guards and secret guards took turns calling him.
Since he did not keep maids around him, even the hair crown was put on by the guards and eunuchs in the past.
In recent years, he hardly needed anyone to call him or help him dress or comb his hair, but the water for washing and dressing still needed to be brought in by servants.
Xiao Chongyu opened the door, Ji Ming brought the basin in, and sent the steward who had lit the lamp away.
"Your Highness, Master Feng sent a message saying he wants to see you."
"Feng Sheng?"
Xiao Chongyu washed his hands and face, rinsed his mouth, and wiped it with a handkerchief: "Why does he want to see me if he doesn't prepare well for the March exam?"
"this......"
Ji Ming couldn't figure it out either, so he just said, "Master Feng seemed very anxious, but he didn't say what was wrong."
Xiao Chongyu was in a good mood today, so he nodded and agreed: "Bring him to my study after the court session."
Ji Ming keenly noticed that his highness's mood did not seem as irritable as yesterday, so he did not say anything and just responded with yes.
It was not until Xiao Chongyu went out to attend the court that Ji Ming discussed with Cheng Feng: "What do you think Master Feng wants to do by coming to see His Highness?"
Cheng Feng muttered to himself: "What else can I do? Come and find His Highness and die."
"What did you say?"
Ji Ming suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Chengfeng shook his head: "Nothing."
He has to find Doctor Wei to get rid of this hot potato.
After all, Doctor Wei is your highness's cousin, and your highness will not do anything to him, but the same may not be true for me.
"Are you saying that Feng Sheng wants to see your Highness?"
Wei Yun also felt a little troubled.
Feng Sheng is a well-known genius in Ningzhou. He won the first place in the autumn examination this year without any dispute. This time he came to the capital city to compete for the position of the top scholar in the spring of next year.
And he will not turn seventeen until the first month of next year.
This was also a chess piece that Xiao Chongyu made early on in his bid to seize power.
Feng Sheng's role was not only to expand Xiao Chongyu's faction in the court, but also to win over the court's power through marriage.
He has no father or mother, is an orphan adopted by his grandparents, and has long known his own value.
But ever since that meeting with Shen Weicang, Wei Yun had a vague feeling that something was not going well.
But he did not doubt Feng Sheng's loyalty to his maternal grandfather. At that time, he was just worried that Xiao Chongyu, a madman who would go crazy whenever he encountered the princess, would kill Feng Sheng.
Such an outstanding talent died at the hands of Xiao Chongyu. Wei Yun was afraid that he would be implicated when he was struck by lightning.
It goes without saying that the reason he wanted to see Xiao Chongyu at this time was for Princess Ji Fu.
Wei Yun made an irritable "tsk" sound. If he remembered correctly, Feng Sheng was a few months younger than the princess. He was quite courageous and would go for the best once he fell in love.
"Bring Feng Sheng to my place before Xiao Chongyu comes back."
"Yes."
**************
The sun was shining brightly today, and Shen Weicang couldn't stay idle in the house, so he went out with Liuguang and Yicai.
She had finished embroidering the ugly purse these few days, and on a whim she wanted to go to Prince Jing's mansion to take a look.
Xiao Chongling is seventeen years old this year and will leave the palace and set up his own residence after getting married next year.
However, the location for Prince Jing's palace was chosen early on, and the houses are all in good condition.
However, Xiao Chongling wanted to satisfy Shen Weicang as well, so he rebuilt some parts of the palace according to her request, dug a lake, and will transplant several magnolia trees there next year.
Liuguang casually asked, "Princess, would you like to bring some snacks to His Royal Highness Prince Jing?"
Shen Weicang was hungry, so he asked the kitchen to make some snacks for her to carry. After getting on the carriage, he started eating.
When they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, perhaps because the owner had not yet officially moved in, the huge mansion only had a few servants cleaning the house and craftsmen building the houses.
Xiao Chongling was standing outside the palace when he saw Shen Weicang's carriage approaching. He took a few steps forward and tried to help her get off. However, Shen Weicang jumped off the carriage directly and said to Xiao Chongling:
"Why is Brother Jing the Prince working as a coachman?"
Liuguang and Yicai stood far away tactfully, and Xiao Chongling came up and whispered something in her ear.
Shen Weicang was so angry that he slapped his hand hard, with such great force that red marks immediately appeared on Xiao Chongling's fair skin.
I don't know if this fool is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. He is completely stupid about Xiao Chongyu's affairs, but he is very good at talking nonsense to her.
Xiao Chongling laughed, put his arm around Shen Weicang's shoulders and walked towards the palace:
"Don't be angry, Cang Cang, everything I said is from the heart. Not only can I be Cang Cang's driver and little silly dog, I can also be Cang Cang's groom and horse. In the future, Cang Cang can ride however he wants..."
"Shut up!"
Shen Weicang was really impressed by his shamelessness. How could he say such words in broad daylight? !
Xiao Chongling laughed twice and stopped teasing her: "Good Cangcang, it was Brother Jing Wang who was wrong. Brother Jing Wang will apologize to you."
He took out a jade hairpin from his bosom and said, "Although this hairpin is not as exquisite as those made by skilled craftsmen, it was made by me."
Shen Weicang took it and looked at it. He found that the head of the hairpin did not have too many tassels decorations, but only a simple twined branch pattern and a magnolia flower pattern carved on it.
The entire hairpin is emerald green, and it complements the beauty's delicate hands in her hands.
Shen Weicang played with it for a while, but couldn't say whether he liked it or not, he just thought it was pleasing to the eye, so he said to Xiao Chongling, "Then brother Jing Wang, please help me put it on."
It just so happened that when she woke up this morning, a jade bracelet that she had liked recently was missing. The quality of this hairpin is similar to the jade bracelet, so she will wear it for two days and see what happens.
She used to take off all her hairpins, rings and jewelry before going to bed every night, but she liked that bracelet very much a few days ago and has not taken it off before going to bed in the past few days.
She suspected that Xiao Chongyu had stolen her bracelet before leaving.
It was just a bracelet, but a prince could do such a stealing thing.
Seeing that she liked it, Xiao Chongling immediately smiled and helped her put the hairpin on her bun.
Gently helping her tidy up her hair, Xiao Chongling looked at Shen Weicang expectantly, which made her inexplicably think of the little fox that Xiao Chongyu gave her.
No, it seemed more like a puppy begging for food from him than a little fox.
Shen Weicang really admired herself. She could come up with such a wonderful description of "little silly dog". Except for Xiao Chongling, she had never had this feeling about anyone else.
"Oh, right," seeing his expectant expression, Shen Weicang remembered the ugly purse, "I have also embroidered that purse."
She turned to Liuguang and said, "Bring the purse over here."
Liuguang and Yicai came over in response, one holding an exquisite wooden box and the other carrying a food box.
Seeing the food box that Yicai was carrying, Shen Weicang remembered that he had brought some snacks, so he said, "Brother King Jing, I brought you some snacks today."
Xiao Chongling said sweetly, "Thank you for taking such good care of my brother Prince Jing."
Yicai held back her laughter. These snacks were the leftovers of their princess and were not brought specially for him at all.
But judging from Prince Jing's expression, he would be happy to accept it even if the princess said that she gave it to him as leftovers.
Xiao Chongling led Shen Weicang to a yard: "This is our yard."
Shen Weicang raised his eyes and said, "Cangling Courtyard?"
Xiao Chongling showed an expression as if waiting for her to praise him: "I wrote this by myself."
Shen Weicang didn't hear the boasting in his words and walked in: "It's a nice name."
After entering the house, Xiao Chongling immediately explained:
"It's a bit shabby now, but there are still many things that haven't been moved in. I will never let Cang Cang down when he moves in."
