Chapter 191: Casual Chatting Father Jiang Waits for Letters from Home
Seeing this scene, everyone still thought that Prince Song and his concubine had a very good relationship, completely unaware that he had just plotted against the mistress of the East Palace!

When Mrs. Zhao saw this scene, she was happy and said something to her husband next to her.

"Yuyan has made the right choice to marry this time. I see that the prince treats her very well. The only thing is that the Jiang family's annoying girl is still occupying the position of the prince's consort. I heard from the princess that she has returned to her parents' home to recuperate. Master, if there is a chance, can you let them divorce or can the prince divorce his wife?"

Zhao Fengchang was also thinking about this. If the family had a crown prince's consort, she would definitely be more helpful than a concubine. Then he glanced at his daughter and said to his wife.

"I'll think of a way, but you have to tell Yuyan to get pregnant as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter how much we think about it, it will be troublesome if the princess doesn't agree, right?"

"Yes, I know. I will definitely find a way to get her some more pregnancy-maintaining medicine."

The Zhao couple were discussing things with each other, and everyone at the table had their own involvements. One of them suddenly mentioned the Pei family far away in Hanzhou, and then others joined in and talked about some interesting things that had happened recently.

The only people at the table who were concerned about the Pei family were the Wenyuan Marquisate and the Jiang family. Although Song Shi acted nonchalant, he was listening attentively. His current influence could not reach as far as Fonanhanzhou, so he really did not hear any news.

That person didn't say anything bad, he just mentioned the news that the second daughter of Pei family was going to be the Crown Princess of King Han. Everyone was a little surprised to hear this. Originally, the two families complemented each other, and if it developed into a marriage between their children, wouldn't it be even more powerful?

So when Jiang Huaishan heard this, he immediately looked at the Marquis's wife. Marquis Wenyuan also felt that something was wrong and showed a worried expression. On the contrary, the Marquis's wife, Mrs. Pei, was relatively calm.

"Don't panic. The second girl is not Ah Yao, but my concubine An's daughter. Based on my understanding of the Prince of Han, he would probably look down on such a background. Besides, my eldest brother and Zi Su are not stupid. How could they agree to this marriage? Maybe it's a misunderstanding!"

After she explained, the two of them felt relieved. Some curious people looked at the Marquis's wife, Mrs. Pei, and seeing that she looked calm, they began to doubt the matter.

So the topic was changed. Jiang Huaishan was not interested in anything else. It was just that his daughter had been gone for more than two months and he naturally missed her very much, so he was looking forward to letters from home every day.

"Sister-in-law, have you received any letters from home recently?"

"The letter from home is the one I sent you last time. I estimate that there will be another one in the next two days. After all, the two places are far apart. Even if Ah Nian wrote it on the same day, it would take more than ten days for it to arrive. So don't be too anxious. Nothing will happen with Zi Su here. Besides, didn't she say that she would be back before Hui Er's imperial examination? There is no need to worry too much."

That being said, Jiang Huaishan always had a sense of father worrying about his son even when he was thousands of miles away.

The last letter they received from home was sent by Jiang Shiyuan from the army. In order to prevent the news from leaking out during the days she stayed in the army to recuperate, she did not mention it in the letter. She only talked about some of what she saw and heard in Hanzhou. However, these things she saw and heard were not what she saw in person, but some understanding she gained after chatting with the soldiers.

Her original intention was just to reassure her family and make them not worry, but she didn't expect that such an action would make the soldiers in the army feel that the military wife was approachable, not at all condescending, and even cared about and asked about some folk customs in their hometown.

Therefore, everyone was praising her, and Jiang Shiyuan felt like she had hit a lucky juncture.

As Song Shi drank the fine wines one after another, he was filled with anger. Concubine Zhao beside him also felt his unhappiness. Is it true that what you can't get is the best? He was in front of the prince, but he was not as good as the Pei family mentioned casually at the table. Was he dissatisfied with the Pei family or was he thinking about the newly married Madam Pei? When he thought of this, the wine in his hand was no longer so mellow.

Princess Qinghuan on the other side felt something strange.

She had clearly put a lot of effort into arranging spies in Hanzhou, so how come none of her subordinates had heard of the news, but those people knew it first?

Or was this news deliberately released to the people in Xijing City in order to make them pay attention?

If the Pei family were to marry the Prince of Han, it would be a huge threat to them. Therefore, although Princess Qinghuan did not know the source of the news, she knew that this matter must be stopped.

So he said a few words to the person next to him, and then left the table on the grounds that he was drunk.

Princess Qinghuan and the Crown Prince didn't get along well anyway, so no one thought there was anything wrong with her leaving early, including the Crown Prince himself.

The Crown Princess changed her clothes in a hurry and came over. No one noticed anything wrong. Song Shi also acted as if he had not done anything and did not even look over there. Such behavior aroused the Crown Princess's greedy heart. Even if she did not want to, those erotic scenes were still in her mind.

"What's wrong with you, Princess? Why are your cheeks a little red? Are you drunk?"

The prince asked with concern, but of course only the princess knew why her cheeks were red, so she felt guilty but didn't want the prince to find out, so she simply gave an order.

"I just rushed here from there and feel a little cold, so I am like this. Your Highness has been drinking for so long, why don't you take a rest first."

The prince had indeed drunk a lot and was almost unsteady on his feet. When he heard what the princess said, he nodded in agreement. The princess immediately spoke to the palace maid who was serving him.

"Send the prince to Concubine Min."

"Yes, ma'am."

Concubine Min was the one the Crown Prince had always loved more, so under circumstances like today, the Crown Princess could also have someone send the Crown Prince there. Many people praised the Crown Princess for her magnanimity and virtue, and she won some favor. Only Song Shi looked over with a slight smile. The ill intention in his eyes made the Crown Princess feel even more guilty, but she had to pretend to be innocent.

After the Crown Prince left, the feast naturally did not last long. On the way back to their homes, Concubine Zhao was a little unhappy the whole time.

On the contrary, Song Shi was very calm and sat in the carriage with his eyes closed. His whole aura had changed and people didn't dare to say anything rashly.
