The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 183 The Clever Man in the Prince's Mansion

After the third prince's marriage proposal was rejected, he got very angry. He thought that he would be the only one to settle the score with the other party afterwards, but he never expected that he would become the laughing stock of the whole city because of this incident.

After smashing another set of ceramic teacups, the Third Prince angrily asked, "Tell me, what did they say?"

The servant said timidly: "He, they said that you, as a prince, could only afford a dozen pieces of money to propose marriage. Compared with the Song family, it's too much~~"

"What?" The third prince tried hard to suppress his anger.

"It's just like sending away a beggar! Saying that the General's Mansion would reject you is the wisest decision, and saying that you, a prince, are so petty~~" The servant lowered his head, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

The Third Prince was so angry that his face turned blue. He was a prince with such a noble status, and these ignorant people dared to laugh at him like this! He must make these people pay the price!

"Someone come!" The Third Prince shouted through gritted teeth, "Catch those people who are talking nonsense!"

A man in his fifties with a goatee walked out of the door. He bowed to the Third Prince and said, "Wait a minute, Your Highness. You absolutely cannot arrest anyone now. What do these unruly people know? Someone must be interfering. Otherwise, how could these unruly people dare to be so presumptuous!"

The Third Prince was very considerate of this person. Seeing him coming, his anger instantly subsided a lot. He politely asked him to sit down and said, "Sir, what do you think we should do? I am a prince after all. How can I allow them to talk about me like this and throw dirty water on me? Where is my dignity and the dignity of the royal family?"

The man the Third Prince called "Mr." shook his head and said, "Your Highness, listen to me. The Emperor's health is deteriorating. If you start a war and arrest those people to protect your so-called face, have you ever thought about what will happen if the Emperor hears about this?"

The third prince thought about it for a moment and his expression changed drastically. He almost got into trouble.

"Then according to your opinion, what should I do?" the third prince asked hurriedly.

"At this moment, we should keep our troops in place." The gentleman stroked his beard and said slowly, "Since someone wants to make a big fuss about this, we might as well use their own tactics against them."

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Third Prince: "Take advantage of the enemy's tactics? Sir, please tell me in detail."

The gentleman smiled slightly and lowered his voice and said, "We can spread the news that Your Highness was not angry after your marriage proposal was rejected, but instead thought that the General's Mansion was upright and would not be swayed by the powerful. At the same time, you can also prepare a generous gift and send it to the General's Mansion to show your apology and respect. In this way, we can not only resolve this crisis, but also win the favor of the people."

After hearing this, the Third Prince nodded repeatedly: "Sir, this is a great idea! Then let me take care of this matter."

"I obey your command." The gentleman paused and said, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

The gentleman had just helped him solve a big problem, and the Third Prince was very happy at the moment, so he naturally agreed.

"Sir, it doesn't matter."

"I think that Your Highness should not have gone to the General's Mansion to ask for Miss Lu as a concubine. Now, because of this incident, not only has Your Highness's reputation been affected, but I'm afraid that the Ye Mansion may have also developed resentment. The Ye Mansion is neutral to begin with, and the Fifth Prince married his eldest daughter. His family is prone to favor the Fifth Prince. Your Highness, you have finally obtained the Emperor's consent and granted the marriage. Now this incident is afraid that it will affect the balance that you have worked so hard to achieve. It really does not make up for the loss!"

In fact, in his heart, he sometimes felt that the Third Prince was a little irritable and brainless. However, there was nothing he could do. If the Third Prince hadn't saved his life, he wouldn't be able to live well here now.

Since fate made him owe the Third Prince for saving his life, he could only stand firmly behind the Third Prince and plan well for him.

The Third Prince only then realized that his biggest trouble was the Ye Mansion, and he quickly said, "I will go to the Ye Mansion to visit with gifts now."

The master immediately grabbed the Third Prince and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. I have a plan that will not only make the Ye family let go of their grudge against you, but also improve your reputation."

"Oh, sir, please come on."

“Your Highness, why don’t you find a chance to prepare a banquet, and then take this opportunity to make your attitude towards the Ye family clear…”

The Third Prince smiled more and more as he listened to the master's plan, saying it was a good idea.

On the other hand, Tang Peipei and others were somewhat puzzled when they received the apology gift from the third prince.

Mu Jintang said meaningfully: "Take it."

As soon as the gift-giver left, Tang Peipei stared at Mu Jintang with wide eyes, "It seems that there is an expert in the Third Prince's Mansion!"

Mu Jintang embraced Tang Peipei, smiled meaningfully and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Tang Peipei knew that her husband was testing her, so she said, "Based on my current understanding of the Third Prince, he probably doesn't have that kind of brain, but he did it now, which means that there is a smart person in his family, and he is someone who is trusted by the Third Prince."

Tang Peipei said it with certainty, her eyes full of an expression that said "Praise me, praise me!", which made Mu Jintang feel helpless.

He gently scraped Tang Peipei's nose and said, "Well, according to the information from the people I sent, there is a gentleman in the Third Prince's mansion. I don't know his past, but he is very smart. He has solved many problems for the Third Prince and is highly regarded by the Third Prince. I think this person should be the one who came up with the idea."

After saying that, he looked at Tang Peipei again, "My wife is really smart." Then he kissed Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei didn't expect him to be so bold. She gently pushed him away and said coquettishly, "My husband is so shameless. It would be so bad if someone saw it."

Mu Jintang chuckled, "Don't worry, no one is coming. It doesn't matter if we are caught. I am the wife of my own family, so what's wrong with that?"

Mu Jintang and Tang Peipei were flirting with each other when suddenly a maid came to report that the emperor had sent an order from the palace, asking Tang Peipei to meet the queen.

They were both shocked. If they remembered correctly, the queen had already been banished to the cold palace. Why did the emperor suddenly ask her to see the queen?

Mu Jintang looked at Tang Peipei worriedly and instructed: "Just go and meet her with peace of mind. Since the emperor asked you to go, I don't think she would dare to do anything." Tang Peipei nodded and went down to the palace with the help of her maid.

Arriving at the palace, Tang Peipei greeted the queen, who looked at her with a smile on her face and asked in a friendly tone, "I heard that the Third Prince asked Madam to make new clothes for me. I guess he needs to measure the size. The emperor asked Madam to come here today for this matter."

When Tang Peipei heard that she was talking about this matter, she felt a little relieved, but she still didn't dare to take it lightly. She didn't believe that the queen would just let it go. You know, her husband was responsible for her being sent to the cold palace.

"I should have come to the palace earlier to ask to see Your Majesty, but something happened at home. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Tang Peipei's words were naturally polite, and the queen knew it.

As a person who was banished to the cold palace, no one would dare to visit her without the emperor's permission.

The Queen was in a good mood today and said, "It's okay. I wonder if Madam can measure my body for me now."

Tang Peipei was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and replied, "Of course."

The queen smiled and said, "Come on." Then she asked someone to bring the tools they needed.

Tang Peipei took it and began to measure the queen's body. Fearing that the queen would play a trick, Tang Peipei had to be careful, fearing that something unexpected would happen and someone would catch her.

However, the queen seemed to have really forgotten the previous unpleasantness and was in a good mood to chat with Tang Peipei. Next, the queen asked some trivial matters about Tang Peipei's life, and Tang Peipei answered them one by one.

After Tang Peipei left the palace, she was even more puzzled. Did the queen really not care about what happened before? It was a rare opportunity, but she had always been smiling and had never said a bad word to her.

But this shouldn't be the case. The queen can do such a thing, so she shouldn't be a tolerant person. After hearing this, Mu Jintang pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor summoned you to see the queen today because of the third prince's intention. But now that we don't know his purpose and you haven't been hurt, we should just take it one step at a time. Sooner or later, they will reveal their true colors."
