Chapter 224 Young Couple
These words seem to have a hidden meaning!
Jiang Wanyue turned her head and looked at Xing'er.
"What have you heard?"
Xing'er was a little embarrassed, but still told the truth.
"There are some rumors that the eldest prince doesn't like the princess and is not very close to her."
Jiang Wanyue frowned even deeper.
"Prince Yong doesn't seem like that kind of person."
Li Chengye's personality meant that even if he really didn't like his wife, he wouldn't show it on the outside. If they couldn't love each other, at least they could treat her with courtesy.
You should know that Princess Yong is the youngest daughter of General Fan. General Fan is in charge of the imperial guards, and his sons serve in the border troops in various places. It is no exaggeration to say that this family can control nearly half of the army of the Great Zhou.
Li Ce's choice of such a wife for Li Chengye can be said to have put three locks on his position as crown prince.
Li Chengye would not fail to understand.
Jiang Wanyue thought about it and finally could only guess that there was some misunderstanding between the young couple.
So she waved.
"Let Princess Yong come in! Go to the kitchenette and get her favorite snacks."
After a while, Princess Fan Linling of Prince Yong stepped into the palace.
Fan Linling is a lovely little girl.
She is only fifteen this year, with her birthday in August, and has only been a few months old. She has a round apple face, her cheeks are always flushed, and her eyes narrow into crescents when she smiles.
Jiang Wanyue had a good impression of her.
The girl was not skinny. You could tell from the way she walked that she had practiced martial arts. She walked fast and steadily, unlike the concubines in the harem today who took a breath after every three steps. Their waists were so thin that you seemed to want to break them with one hand.
"Ling'er is here? Come and sit down. I've asked someone to get your favorite date cake."
Before Fan Linling could salute, Jiang Wanyue grabbed her.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Fan Linling sat down next to the chair.
Jiang Wanyue looked at her coldly and found that her eyes were indeed a little different, and the smile on her face was a little forced.
Is there really a conflict with Li Chengye?
Jiang Wanyue was puzzled.
They are newlyweds, how could there be any misunderstanding?
It can't be that the sex life is not harmonious...
This is terrible.
Jiang Wanyue's expression suddenly became strange.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the palace maid came in with tea and snacks.
Jiang Wanyue restrained her scattered thoughts and smiled as she invited Fan Linling to eat and drink.
Fan Linling took a bite of the snack and put it down.
It's obvious that he's worried.
But Jiang Wanyue and her were not that close, so if she didn't say anything, Jiang Wanyue wouldn't ask.
What if there really is a problem with sex life? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
So the two of them just chatted about some random things.
When it was almost noon, Fan Linling politely declined Jiang Wanyue's invitation to stay for dinner and left the palace with her maid.
She got on the carriage, couldn't help but let out a long breath, and rubbed her cheeks hard.
Her maid took out a warm handkerchief and carefully wiped her young lady's face and hands.
"Miss, are we going back to the palace now?"
Fan Linling nodded and then said another sentence.
"Call me princess."
The maid hurriedly apologized.
"I have done something wrong, please punish me, princess."
The carriage was not small, so the maid knelt down immediately.
Fan Linling pulled her up.
"Hey, it's not that I'm strict with you, but the prince attaches great importance to rules and etiquette. If you are used to saying this in daily life, what if you say it in front of the prince one day and make him angry? What should I do?"
The maid bit her lower lip.
"The servant knows."
She was a maid who came with the Fan family as a dowry. She had learned etiquette and rules from Fan Linling for several years and knew what was important and what was not.
Fan Linling sighed again, looked at the car window, and habitually wanted to lift the curtain to take a look outside, but after reaching out her hand, she stopped.
She finally let go.
This is against the rules.
She sat there in silence and didn't say anything afterwards.
The carriage crossed the street at a leisurely pace and stopped at the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion.
As soon as Fan Linling got out of the car, seven or eight servants came to greet her, and a large group of people surrounded her and took her to the main courtyard.
Even when she arrived at her residence, Fan Linling was unable to relax.
There are a lot of things waiting for her to deal with in the palace!
By the time I finished dealing with the trivial matters in the mansion, it was already late.
Fan Linling looked out the window and saw the gloomy sky.
"What time is it?"
"My princess, it's almost the end of the afternoon."
Upon hearing the maid's reply, Fan Linling jumped up immediately.
"It's time for the prince to come in. Come on! Follow me to greet him."
She didn't even bother to change her clothes. She only had time to touch her hair, put on her shoes, and ran out.
The maids and old women were chasing after him.
I couldn't catch up for a while.
When she ran to the gate, she just saw Li Chengye dismounting from his horse and walking into the yard.
Fan Linling hurriedly stopped and smoothed her sleeves and skirt.
"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty back to the palace."
She knelt and saluted.
Li Chengye had a dull expression and did not help her. He just said "hmm" and walked into the hall.
Fan Linling quickly turned around and followed him.
After taking two steps, Li Chengye suddenly stopped.
"Have you visited the palace to pay respects to your mother today?"
Fan Linling pursed her lips and nodded.
"I have been there. My mother is doing well. She even invited me to have some snacks." She paused for a moment before continuing, "Today I also met the second young lady of the Jiang family and the wife of the Marquis of Gu'an."
After saying this, she did not immediately talk about the situation of the two people. She just raised her head and looked at Li Chengye, waiting for him to ask.
Li Chengye rubbed his wrist.
"Let's go tomorrow... the day after tomorrow!"
"Yes."
This is the conversation between the two people for one day.
The two of them had separate dinners.
Except for the wedding night, Fan Linling never sat at the same table with Li Chengye again.
Her wet nurse spent a lot of time and effort to find out from Eunuch Fu that the prince always ate alone and was not used to eating with others.
Fan Linling actually didn’t understand.
But I am not an outsider! I am Li Chengye's wife!
She wanted to ask the queen several times whether Li Chengye was like this when he was in the palace.
But after thinking about it several times, she didn't dare to ask.
Before she got married, her parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and other relatives told her that she should treat King Yong as the monarch and not treat him like an ordinary couple, as that would be disrespectful.
No matter how many questions Fan Linling had, she didn't dare to ask them, for fear of making Li Chengye unhappy.
She is not an ignorant little girl.
Since the marriage decree came to the Fan family, her parents invited many teachers to teach her. She knew that her family's current situation seemed to be flourishing, but in fact it was in a dangerous situation.
