Chapter 451 When Did the Princess Become Smart?
Su Jixiang glared at Wei Ling for a moment, then smiled, "You guys are really amazing!"
"It's a game of intrigue and deception. Only the fittest survive." Wei Ling's expression faded slightly, and he said helplessly.
If possible, who would want to calculate this all day long?
Compared to the capital, Wei Ling felt that he and Su Jixiang's life in the north was already comfortable enough.
As long as he answered those spies, his life was still very comfortable. After all, he had the final say in the entire North.
His title is only Marquis of Zhenbei, but in fact it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the King of Zhenbei.
"It's still a long way to the hunting ground, you should take a rest first." Wei Ling stopped himself from thinking about these annoying things. He opened his arms and took Su Jixiang into his arms, then patted her shoulders, letting her find a comfortable position in his arms, and then took a small fan to fan her gently.
Although it was already early autumn, the carriage was still a little stuffy when the sun was shining brightly.
Su Jixiang readily found a particularly comfortable position in Wei Ling's arms and slowly closed his eyes.
The rhythmic clatter of horse hooves on the official road and the faint sound of carriage wheels rolling over, combined with the cool breeze brought by the fan in Wei Ling's hand, made Su Jixiang close his eyes quickly.
Looking at his wife sleeping peacefully in his arms, Wei Ling felt a tenderness in his heart.
No matter how big the storm is outside, as long as Su Jixiang is by his side and in his arms, he will not be afraid.
The carriage passed through the fields outside Beijing in autumn. The wheat waves that were about to mature were creating layers of ripples in the autumn wind, just like the surface of a real lake.
In sharp contrast to the quiet and peaceful life of Su Jixiang and Wei Ling is Ximoxuan on Xixia Street in the capital.
From the entrance to Ximoxuan, everything that could be smashed was smashed by the people brought by the princess.
The prince consort stood silently in the yard with a gloomy face, looking at the eldest princess who was sitting in front of him with a rage.
Behind the eldest princess stood the wife of Duke Cheng'en, the wife of Marquis Zhongyong, and two other noble ladies.
When the prince consort swept his sinister gaze over these ladies, except for the wife of Duke Cheng'en, the other ladies all shrank their heads at the same time.
The prince consort had always behaved very gently, and this wolf-like sharp and fierce gaze was the first time these noble ladies had seen. They were on good terms with the eldest princess, often accompanying her on outings, and often met the prince consort.
"What? How long are you going to make trouble? Just because of a false accusation, you want to destroy all the love we have had as husband and wife for so many years?" The prince consort spoke slowly. He had suppressed his anger again and again before he could talk to the princess calmly.
Although the princess searched the entire Ximoxuan, she still couldn't find any trace of the concubine.
In other words, the eldest princess has not yet found the secret passage.
This made the prince consort feel a little relieved. He didn't know where he had gone wrong. He had kept it a secret from the princess for so many years, so why couldn't he hide it suddenly?
Is there someone belonging to the eldest princess in Ximoxuan?
It's impossible. All the people here were carefully selected by him. It's impossible for anyone to betray him. Moreover, the people here are all royal spies and are under his jurisdiction. The eldest princess has no idea the real function of Ximoxuan, and it's even more impossible for her to reach out to Ximoxuan.
What went wrong?
While the prince consort was still racking his brains, the eldest princess had already revealed the answer herself.
She ordered someone to bring the birthday cake box and throw it in front of the prince consort.
"Do you want to see this?" the eldest princess said hatefully.
Everyone knows that the most famous birthday cake shop in Beijing has the most exquisite packaging, and the more customized the cake, the better the packaging.
They will draw the appearance of the cake inside directly on the cake box, so you can know what the cake inside looks like just by looking at the box.
The cake painted on the box has a large field of gorgeous wisteria flowers made of various colored creams. Under the wisteria flowers, there is a woman swinging on a swing. Even if it is just painted on the cake box, it is already very fascinating, which shows how amazing the cake will be.
"Is there anyone in your Ximoxuan who can afford this kind of cake?" The eldest princess sneered. "I checked. The manager of this cake shop told me everything. The person who placed the order that day was you, my Prince Consort! Although he didn't recognize your identity, he remembered your appearance. I only showed him the portrait and he recognized you."
"What nonsense!" The prince consort's heart sank. It was he who had been negligent. He had originally wanted to let someone else place the order, but he was afraid that the other person could not describe the feeling he wanted, so he pretended to be Ximoxuan's manager and placed the order for the cake himself.
He flicked his sleeves and turned slightly to cover up the situation. "It's just a false accusation! I haven't been there!"
"You're still denying it!" The princess was almost laughing out of anger. "I took portraits of several men to identify him. How could he have found yours among so many portraits?"
The eldest princess was not completely foolish. She asked someone to prepare portraits of several managers in Ximoxuan and then added the portrait of the prince consort, and then asked the manager of the cake shop to identify it.
Not only did the manager of the cake shop recognize the prince consort, but even the waiter who received the prince consort that day and the cake maker recognized the prince consort.
One person may admit his mistake, but how can a group of people admit their mistakes?
"It's just a coincidence!" The prince consort's scalp hardened. He wanted to know what went wrong, and it turned out to be with this cake box!
"Coincidence, coincidence? Everything is a coincidence?" The princess threw a few more medical records and the midwife's birth notes on the ground. "When has anyone ever gotten pregnant in Ximoxuan? Aren't you known as a place full of scholars? Which scholar got pregnant and gave birth in Ximoxuan?"
The prince consort's eyelids twitched!
How did she find these things?
Originally, he hid the person in Ximoxuan, but after she gave birth, he moved her to the yard at the back.
He also dug a tunnel between Ximoxuan and that courtyard.
"Please explain this to me clearly!" The eldest princess's face was a little distorted because of anger.
"I even brought the midwife from that day here. Do you want to see her?" the eldest princess said angrily.
The prince consort frowned.
When did the eldest princess become so smart?
It shouldn’t be!
He couldn't help but look up and glance at the noble ladies standing behind the eldest princess!
If he was not mistaken, it must be these people who came up with the bad idea!
