Chapter 730 Give Face
The prince has been troubled by government affairs for so long, and he is happy to have a son today… He was just planning to go find Hongmei, who had just been carried into the prince’s mansion, to relax after seeing his legitimate son. He really didn’t want to bother thinking about it anymore.
“Your Highness, this matter is of great importance! Please move to the main hall and allow me to report in detail!”
The prince rarely saw Elder Fang being so serious, and sighed, “Elder Fang… Today, I am happy about the birth of my son, and I don’t want to be bothered by the government affairs. Please allow me to be happy today, and we can talk about those annoying government affairs tomorrow!”
Elder Fang bowed again and said, “This is about the Princess Zhenguo, not the government affairs. Your Highness, please listen to my detailed report!”
Quan Yu’s eyebrows jumped. This old man Fang was going to put on trouble for Princess Zhenguo again.
“Mr. Fang…” The prince showed an impatient look and closed his eyes in anger, “Are you going to stop doing this? Why do you always keep picking on the Princess Zhenguo? How many years younger is the Princess Zhenguo than you? Why do you always pick on a child?!”
“Your Highness!” Elder Fang simply lifted up the hem of his skirt, knelt down and kowtowed to the prince, “Your Highness, I am not speaking nonsense this time. Please move aside. Ren Shijie and I have investigated the matter together. We have witnesses and evidence! Please take a look first, Your Highness!”
The prince suppressed his anger, pointed at Mr. Fang and signaled Quan Yu to help him up: “Okay, I will listen to you again!”
Quan Yu frowned and took small steps forward to help Mr. Fang up. “Mr. Fang, don’t blame His Highness for being angry. Look at the Princess Zhenguo who was shot by an arrow to save His Highness. This time, she even rushed to Dadu without caring about her own life for His Highness’s reputation! As for the Princess Zhenguo’s love for His Highness… As a bystander, I feel that no one can compare to her. To be honest, even you, Mr. Fang, have never risked your life to save His Highness like this!”
Quan Yu helped Fang Lao up and retreated behind the prince, then continued: “You didn’t see it, when the Zhenguo Princess saved your highness, the arrow pierced her chest and her clothes were all covered in blood. Your highness will never forget it in his life, right?”
The prince recalled the day when Bai Qingyan risked his life to save him on the Chang Street. He clenched his fists and nodded, “Yes… No one has ever risked their life for me like the Princess Zhenguo did!”
Seeing the prince’s wavering expression, Elder Fang hurriedly said, “If I were here that day, I would have risked my life to save His Royal Highness! It was my duty! I am sorry… for not being there to protect His Royal Highness!”
“Alright, alright!” The prince waved his hand at Fang Lao, “I know you are loyal! The same goes for the Princess Zhenguo! Both of you are people I value, and what I hope to see most… is that you can live in harmony!”
“Then Your Highness should move to the study and listen to what I have to say. If there is any misunderstanding in this matter, it will be solved as soon as possible… I will not misunderstand the Princess Zhenguo again!” Old Fang’s eyes turned red. “And I have no opinion on the Princess Zhenguo. How can I not be careful when it comes to the Crown Prince!”
Looking at Mr. Fang’s appearance, the prince sighed: “Let’s go! Let’s go to the main hall!”
Quan Yu tightened his grip and quickly followed the prince.
As soon as the prince stepped over the threshold, he saw the princess’s personal nanny standing in the corridor in the distance with a lamp in her hand, as if waiting for him.
The prince ordered Quan Yu beside him: “Go ask if the Crown Princess is still waiting for me. If she is still waiting for me… ask her to tell the Crown Princess to rest early, I will be there soon!”
Quan Yu responded, trotted over to the nanny, and asked, “Mammy, please wait here. Is the Crown Princess waiting for His Highness?”
“Yes, the Crown Princess is still waiting for Your Highness!”
“Your Highness still has government affairs to attend to, so please tell the Crown Princess to rest early. After your Highness finishes his official duties, he will accompany the Crown Princess!” Quan Yu said to the nanny with a smile, “The Crown Princess has just given birth… She is weak now. Your Highness has specifically asked her not to wait for you. Please take the trouble to help the Crown Princess rest, so that the Crown Prince will not feel sorry for her when he sees her not resting yet.”
When the Crown Princess’s trusted nanny heard this, she immediately smiled and said, “Okay! This old slave will definitely serve the Crown Princess well! Oh, right… there is one more thing. Today, the second sister of the Princess Zhenguo, Madam Qin, came to the Crown Prince’s residence in person and said that the Princess Zhenguo was feeling a little unwell. She asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send an imperial physician to see the Princess Zhenguo!”
Quan Yu’s face froze, but the maid frowned and just kept expressing her dissatisfaction: “Look at that Zhenguo Princess, she is simply arrogant because of her favor! Is our Crown Princess and the Grandson more important, or is she more important? She simply can’t distinguish between the primary and the secondary… and she dares to lick her face and snatch the imperial physician from the Crown Princess! Our Crown Princess is too kind-hearted. She even sent the imperial physician and the maid from our Prince’s Mansion to take a look in person! If you ask me… let alone the Crown Princess who just gave birth and is still weak, even if the Crown Princess has already finished the confinement, it is a great rebellion for her to snatch the imperial physician from the Crown Princess. Give her the imperial physician… you really give her face!”
Quan Yu raised his eyes, his eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone. Seeing that the maid was still grumbling, he suppressed his anger, bowed to the maid and said, “Your Highness, let me finish talking to you, and then I will go back to serve you. We will talk about it another day!”
After saying that, Quan Yu hurriedly trotted towards the main hall.
The Crown Princess’s trusted nanny had already told Quan Yu everything that needed to be said, and she smiled as she looked at Quan Yu’s back.
Quan Yu is the personal eunuch who has served the prince since he was young. He will definitely tell the prince about this matter so that the prince will know that Bai Qingyan is a person who is arrogant because of his favor.
The nanny turned around and said to the maid behind her, “Let’s go back! The Crown Prince loves the Crown Princess, so we have to serve her well.”
“yes.”
The maid following behind the nanny responded timidly.
The little maidservant was also very thoughtful. Today, Madam Qin Bai Jinxiu came to the house and knelt down and cried, saying that the Princess Zhenguo was in a bad condition and asked for a royal physician to go and take a look. But when the maid said this, it sounded uncomfortable. It seemed that the Princess Zhenguo had indeed won the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess was also afraid of this Princess Zhenguo.

When Bai Jinxiu was about to reach Princess Zhenguo’s mansion with the Crown Princess’s maids, servants and imperial physician, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and winked at the guard who was accompanying them. The guard understood her meaning and went ahead to return to Princess Zhenguo’s mansion to report the news.
Bai Qingyan was sitting beside a small table by the window, drinking tea from a cup. Several servants were standing beside him, waiting for Bai Qingyan’s orders.
As soon as Bai Jinxiu sent the letter back, Bai Qingyan put down the teacup and said to the maid Zhenguang beside him: “Zhenguang… take a few guards to the front yard to invite that person over. You are most familiar with the roads in our mansion. I want you to take that person around Qinghui Courtyard but don’t repeat the same route. When you meet a patrolling guard who signals you, you can bring the person in!”
