Chapter 393.1: A Fairly Unexpected Outcome
Inside the room, the voices lowered, continuing to discuss something. The imperial physicians that Former Wei brought themselves had prescribed medicine, but their fifth prince refused to use. Even the external medicine he all refused.
This matter naturally very quickly just got reported to the first prince’s place……………
Because they’d just settled down, the first prince momentarily rested for a while, carrying a bit of nonchalant as he watched the servant girl brew tea. When the servant girl handed over the tea cup, he didn’t take, instead grasping the other party’s hand. Carrying a shallow smile, he leaned over, appearing as if about to drink the tea from the servant girl’s hand. The servant girl blushed, her hands somewhat trembling, not daring to look directly at him. However, this first prince didn’t speak either, just quietly staring at that servant girl. As such, every time the servant girl secretly glanced at him, she would immediately meet with his gaze, letting one feel as if he was attentively watching you from beginning to end, only having you in his eyes. He was an imperial prince of heavenly descent, and she was just a lowly servant, so how could she withstand this kind of seduction. Without struggling or hesitating, she just cuddled into the other party’s embrace, and it was also at this time when someone came to report outside. The Former Wei first prince very naturally took the tea cup, sitting back down, “Come in.”
The servant girl that was still in his arms froze in place, momentarily at a loss for what to do. The first prince smiled at her, “Why don’t you withdraw for now.”
The servant girl finally returned to her senses, weakly responding, carrying reluctance as she parted. However, she didn’t receive a response. When she was leaving, she coldly snorted towards the approaching person. It was obvious, in her eyes, if not for this person suddenly appearing, she would’ve already…………….
The incoming person felt strange, rubbing his nose, not knowing where he’d offended this beautiful servant girl, but he didn’t question either, “Greetings your Highness.”
“What’s the matter?” The Former Wei first prince took a sip of tea. Afterwards, he studied the cup in hand. No matter how one looked, it was all a very ordinary cup, yet it drew in all his attention.
That person had the matter briefly explained.
The first prince finally gave the person that came in a glance, “This is guarding against this prince, thinking that this prince will harm his life?”
That person lowered their head, not saying a word. If one wants to live long, then some words, even if hearing, still need to pretend that one didn’t hear.
“Since he’s willing to continue being in pain, then just let him do as he pleases. When the imperial physicians of Qi Yuan come, just take them over there, no need to come report again.”
“Yes, you Highness.”
Soon, there was just the Former Wei first prince left in the room alone, still carrying an unchanging smile on his face, playing with the cup in hand, softly muttering, “The crown prince setting to kill and then framing it on this prince would be more likely than this prince doing something. As expected, just brainless idiot.” Just, once this idiot starts acting up, disregarding everything, his destructive nature further can’t be estimate. “We’d just arrived, and haven’t even had the time to catch our breath, yet an incident just came up first, still don’t know what will happen next. Someone come…………..”
The attendant guarding outside the door came in, “Your Highness, what instructions do you have?”
“Yi Ning presumably is still unaware that fifth imperial brother got injured. She has always gotten along with fifth brother. Go inform her, and let her go check on fifth brother in her free time.”
“Yes, your Highness.”
The Former Wei’s Princess Yi Ning not only brought the most things, but also had the most people. Inside the inn, the place originally allocated for Former Wei simply wasn’t enough, still needing to re-coordinate. One has to know, once the space to the side was touched, then when time comes, it might once again cause the space to be not enough. After all, this inn was also like the imperial palace, the geographical location having the distinction between good and bad. Which places were arranged for which country’s people already had a fixed quota and can’t easily be changed. Once changed, perhaps it will cause a disturbance. If Former Wei were to take up the space to the side right now, perhaps that side won’t have enough space. Could it be to shift to the side again? As such, it would be shifting one after another. Right now, it was just Former Wei, this one country, so at worst it was just the people on Qi Yuan’s side working a little more, but afterwards, if several countries check in together, what will they do then? After moving in, who would still let you move again? Although it appeared to be a small matter, but they were completely capable of pinning you with a label of ‘not having them taken seriously’. Then, it will just escalate into a diplomatic problem between countries.
That’s why, the space to the side similarly can’t be touched easily. Moreover, it was also very troublesome, tearing down the walls and building them again. The best way was still having Princess Yi Ning moved to another place.
After all, in past years, whenever Former Wei sent emissaries to Qi Yuan, they’d all stayed in this place, and there has never been situations of not having enough space arising before. Moreover, it was always spacious with room to spare.
Reasonably speaking, even if having a princess following along, having more things and more people, it was still completely not a problem. Just, this Princess Yi Ning truly had a bit too much.
Since the circumstances were special, letting Princess Yi Ning move to another place was also excusable, but the problem right now was that Princess Yi Ning was unwilling to move. The excuse was even quite dignified. She was a girl, coming out with her brothers, away from home, so naturally needed to stay within the same courtyard gates as her older brothers. There was completely no reason to stay at another place. Moreover, the people serving Princess Yi Ning said, their princess was somewhat timid. In an unfamiliar place, being away from her brothers, she would be scared. ——–Of course, it wasn’t said this bluntly, but the ins and outs of those words were nevertheless this meaning.
That official from the Ministry of Rites that stayed behind tried to reason in every possible way, but it was all useless. Moreover, because he was a man, he couldn’t even meet Princess Yi Ning in person, and the people below firmly asserted that this was their princess’s meaning. Not only so, they even repeatedly urged, letting Qi Yuan’s official quickly make arrangements. Their princes and princess were magnanimous, thus didn’t bicker with Qi Yuan for not having the lodging put in order sooner, but to continuously not have it taken care of, their masters weren’t pushovers either.
Qi Yuan’s official almost directly started cursing. This clearly was just picking a fight, but it can’t be helped. He was unable to settle this matter. After all, he can’t just bicker with a bunch of women, so he could only return.
Don’t look at how when Li Hong Ming saw Princess Yi Ning, he seemingly even sensed an ‘immortal air’ on her. In reality, she was also very annoyed inside. The originally planned route, in the later half, was rushed that much. Her entire person was all about to fall apart, feeling exceptionally uncomfortable, so it’d be strange for her to be able to be happy.
However, she simply had no choice. Eldest imperial brother appeared to be good tempered, but in reality was very fake, fully a smiling fox. Fifth imperial brother, when he had the patience, he was still able to indulge her and coax her, but when impatient, he was also quite scary. Even if having an empress mother and a crown prince older brother, she still didn’t dare to be too unreasonable.
Having finally arrived with great difficulty, yet the place wasn’t ready, how can one not have a temper? Never mind discussing, to have not directly stirred up a storm, it was already for the sake of preserving her image, and preserving Former Wei’s face.
The Former Wei first prince, precisely at this time, sent someone over.
Princess Yi Ning didn’t show it on her face, but on the inside, she nevertheless cursed, ‘serves you right’. Afterwards, she said a few perfunctory words, saying something like she was still busy on this side, so once everything is settled, she’ll then go check on fifth imperial brother.
Speaking of which, Princess Yi Ning also had very big complaints towards her two older brothers. In reality, she also knows, the place Qi Yuan specifically prepared for Great Wei was already big enough. Their own country’s national inn, she’d once entered for a look before, and it couldn’t even compare with this place. Everyone that came from Great Wei, if slightly squeezing a little, they would be able to arrange for. Even someone with an honorable status like her can all endure squeezing a little. But, that good older brother of hers arranged according to normal accommodations, the entire place for the most part dividing into five equal parts. The three of them each occupied a place, while the rest of the officials occupied the remaining two-fifths.
Was there a problem with this? Generally speaking, it wasn’t a problem. Dividing the areas according to the master’s status, how reasonable. The problem was that out of the entire party, she dominated with a little more than half the number of people, and her belongings further didn’t need to be mentioned. Having more than half the people, and more than two-thirds of the belongings, yet in the end, just received one-fifth of the space, how should this be arranged? How should it be arranged?
It wasn’t her that wanted to come to Qi Yuan, and it further wasn’t her that wanted to bring this many people and this many things, yet now, everything was all thrown to her to take care of herself!
And the ones they were troubling was even Qi Yuan. Thus, inherently, it was still Former Wei looking for trouble.
