Chapter 31: Golden House Cangjiao
Thinking that his poisoning would have something to do with the seventh princess and Lin Wan, Nan Jun felt that there was something wrong with the princess.
"Sister Huang, don't scare my cousin. She has always been playful, but now she has calmed down a lot, and she is doing well in the Ministry of War."
The one who spoke was Shangguan Jia, the eighth emperor's daughter, who had the most contact with Nan Jun recently.
The emperor asked the eighth princess to take Nan Jun to the Ministry of War, but it was also because the eighth princess was the gentlest of these sisters.
"With the Eighth Imperial Sister, the Queen Mother is also at ease."
The princess raised her hand and patted Shangguan Jia's shoulder, and said with a smile.
The crown lady bought people's hearts by benevolence, not as domineering as the second emperor's daughter, but by the emperor's favor and her own ruthlessness.
I just don't know whether this benevolence is true or false.
Nan Jun was not interested in the throne, nor was he interested in who sat there.
But if the new emperor will be unfavorable to the Pingnan Palace, Nanju can't sit idly by.
Therefore, until it is clear which of these princesses is more like an emperor, Nan Jun intends to keep pretending to be stupid.
Several princesses were chatting and laughing, it was so lively!
"His Royal Highness is still as hypocritical as ever! Cousin is young, some people are afraid to take this opportunity to buy people's hearts!"
A cold female voice came from behind, which froze the smiles on everyone's faces.
The crown maid tightened her hands in front of her, then turned around to look at the person who spoke, as if nothing had happened.
"Inside the palace gate, Second Imperial Sister should be more careful when speaking, you are not your cousin's age..."
The princess still had a harmless smile on her face, but her words were not so kind.
It seems that Nan Jun can speak freely because he is young, and that she, Shangguan Hong, said something wrong because he wanted to offend the Holy Wrath.
According to Nan Jun's reputation, this person is Shangguanhong, the second most favored princess.
Shangguan Hong's biological father was a noble gentleman who was under one person and above ten thousand people, and also the man most favored by the Holy One. Although he had been in the palace for more than twenty years, his favor was still unabated.
In this palace, there is only Xianguijun who can win such a long-term love from the Holy One!
Because of her father's favor, the second princess, Shangguanhong, is also very popular with the emperor.
For this reason, the queen and the princess hated the father and daughter to the bottom of their bones, but they had to pretend to be generous and kind.
"you…"
Shangguan Hong was about to come back, but was pulled by the arm by the third princess Shangguan Hui behind him.
Nan Jun also pretended not to understand, clasped his fists at Shangguanhong and the others, and said, "Second Sister Huang, Sister Third Huang, Sister Fourth..."
"Your cousin is polite."
Shangguan Hui, who was behind Shangguan Hong, was the first to return the salute.
The third princess, Shangguanhui, was the second queen's most trusted person. The two grew up together since childhood. Although they did not come from the same father, they were better than biological sisters.
Not wanting to be involved in the quarrel between the princes and daughters, as soon as he saw the carriage in the Pingnan Palace, Nan Jun was busy saying goodbye to the princes.
"Father is still at home waiting for Jun'er to go back to have dinner, and Jun'er will go ahead, and all the imperial sisters will go slowly."
"Cousin, go slowly."
Everyone also smiled and watched Nan Jun leave.
It's just that as soon as Nan Jun got into the carriage, the smiles on the faces of the princesses disappeared.
"Third, fourth, let's go!"
Not saving face for His Majesty the Crown Princess, Shangguan Hong took the third and fourth daughters directly into the carriage of the Third Prince's Mansion.
"It's just relying on the imperial mother to favor her, this Shangguanhong is really deceiving people too much!"
The Seventh Emperor's daughter, Shangguan Rong, spat at Shangguan Hong's carriage, her face full of anger.
Even if His Royal Highness is not favored, she is also a prince, how can she be so negligent as an untitled princess?
"Old Qi, forget it. Being favored by the Queen Mother is her greatest ability."
The prince's face remained normal, and she raised her hand to stop Shangguan Rong, fearing that she would say something nasty again.
Although she has already left the palace gate, she can't help but see the emperor's eyeliner everywhere.
The Seventh Queen is a straightforward person, and she has learned to be patient with the Crown Princess over the years. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said these things after the Second Queen and the others had left just now.
The emperor had been somewhat dissatisfied with them recently because of the banditry in Jiangbei, if she angered Shangguanhong again at this time, it would be making the empress feel uncomfortable.
"Miss Huang, do you think Nanjun is available?"
The eighth princess got into the carriage of the East Palace with Her Royal Highness, and then asked.
But the princess just shook her head: "I can't see anything for now, and I don't know why the empress put her with you. If the empress really loves the second child, she should be put there. That's right!"
The princess also couldn't understand the meaning of the emperor, the old man belonged to her, and the emperor sent Nan Jun to the Ministry of War, was this telling her that the Nan family would protect the princess in the future?
If this is the case, then she has nothing to contend with. With Nan's family around, no matter how hard the second child struggles, there will be no big waves.
But if it wasn't what he thought, and the emperor was just using this to deceive others and deliberately win over the Nan family for the second child, then the empress's party might be completely wiped out.
"No matter what, we can't offend the Nan family. Uncle has only one daughter, the Nan family has only one eldest daughter, and we have only one cousin..."
The Empress Dowager stared into the eyes of the Eighth Empress, and the meaning was self-evident.
Shangguan Jia nodded silently, even if the Empress Dowager didn't talk about it, she would know the seriousness of it.
As soon as Nan Jun arrived at the gate of Prince Pingnan's mansion after he came down to court, he was stopped by the housekeeper.
"The old slave greets His Highness."
"Get up!"
"Your Highness, Wang Jun ordered the old servant to come and pick up His Highness, and wants you to go to the study first after returning home."
Nan Jun was taken aback, Shangguan Xi seldom entered the study of Prince Pingnan's mansion, why would he take the initiative to wait for her there today?
"The hall will go immediately."
"Yes!"
After the old housekeeper withdrew, Nan Jun went directly into the study regardless of his hungry stomach.
Seeing Nanjun enter the house, Xiaohe bowed and retreated, not forgetting to close the door of the study as well.
"My child, please greet my father."
Shangguan Xi seldom took care of Nan Jun's business, and only told her a few words when she entered the palace to face the saint, Nan Jun was really a little puzzled to be waiting for her today.
"Sit down with some pastries first!"
Shangguan Xi still looked like a loving father in the past. Knowing that his daughter must be hungry, he prepared snacks early.
"Father is looking for his daughter?"
Nan Jun stuffed two pieces of snacks into his mouth and asked.
"nature."
Nan Jun went to touch Dim Sum's hand again, wondering if the Lin family had come to divorce today, and he didn't dare to reveal it in front of Shangguan Xi to make him suspicious, so he pretended not to know.
"Who are you hiding in Nanyuan?"
Shangguan Xi was not interested in the matter of his daughter, Jinwu Cangjiao, but that person was related to the marriage between the Nan family and the Lin family, and now he might cause trouble again, so it would be difficult for Shangguan Xi to pretend not to know.
Nan Jun said inwardly that he was sorry, he hadn't figured out how to mention this to his father, but he found out.
