Chapter 312 Aftermath
The "drunk" Prince of Wu'an County, his old face turned the color of pig liver, and the veins on his forehead jumped again and again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince of Wu'an County was afraid that his father would get into an impulsive argument with Empress Dowager Zheng, which would be a real humiliation for himself.

Although His Highness the Crown Prince remained silent, his eyes became colder and colder when he looked over...

The Crown Prince of Wu'an County immediately stood up and left, stretched out his hand to support the Prince of Wu'an County, and half supported and half dragged him out.

It was already late spring, almost early summer, and the night wind carried a hint of heat. Prince Wu'an's hot-blooded mind was blown by the night wind, and he could not calm down much. He turned back angrily from time to time and stared in the direction of Jingyang Palace.

The Crown Prince of Wu'an County was feeling cold in his heart, and he took faster steps. He didn't let out a long sigh of relief until he got out of the palace gate and got into the carriage.

"Hurry up and drive back to the palace."

The coachman raised his whip in response and the carriage moved forward smoothly.

"Bah!" Prince Wu'an spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm. The phlegm was red in color, showing his strong inner fire: "The beam is about to fall into the hands of the woman, and the country is not far from being destroyed."

The Crown Prince of Wu'an County was covered in cold sweat and whispered urgently: "Father, you cannot say such treasonous words. If it falls into the ears of others and spreads to the palace, the Queen Mother will never let it go. That Jiang Shaohua, let alone A good thing.”

Prince Wu'an said angrily: "There are only two of us here, father and son. You know these words and I know them. How could these words reach other people's ears? Are you planning to go to the palace yourself to expose your biological father?"

The Crown Prince of Wu'an County was sprayed with saliva, so he wiped it with his sleeve helplessly, and comforted him in a low voice: "I know that my father is angry, and I am also very annoyed. However, this is the current situation. The Queen Mother and the Empress are all partying. With such arrogance, Jiang Shaohua is a sharp knife in the hands of the Queen Mother, and Prime Minister Wang has to avoid the edge. Why bother to hit the edge of the knife himself? "

Once hit, there will be blood. This time it was even better, he was kicked out of Jingyang Palace directly, which was extremely embarrassing. Why don't you learn a lesson and remember it?
As a son, you can't reprimand your biological father, you can only complain in your heart.

Prince Wu'an had a gloomy look on his face and snorted coldly: "Now that I'm on Prime Minister Wang's side, I have to walk all the way to the dark side, and I can't even make a turn halfway."

The Crown Prince of Wu'an County sighed in a low voice: "Once General Wei leaves, the Prime Minister's power in the court will be greatly reduced."

"There are still border troops supporting him," Prince Wu'an snorted again: "What are you afraid of? Prime Minister Wang has been running the court for decades, and now the prince has ascended the throne. A young boy who is still young is no match for Prime Minister Wang."

"Also, don't look at the silence of King Dongping and King Huaiyang. Neither of them is a good person. A biting dog never barks. Just wait and see! I have a hunch that sooner or later, this pool of water in the capital will... into a quagmire.”

The prince of Wu'an County listened silently, thinking to himself, please don't make excuses for yourself, dear father. Furthermore, King Dongping and King Huaiyang are dogs that don’t bite, so what do we, father and son, count?
……

Prince Wu'an and his son left the banquet midway, but the banquet in Jingyang Palace was not affected and continued lively.

The palace banquet ended just before Hai Shi. Jiang Shaohua was left in Jingyang Palace, and the others dispersed.

Jiang Guanhua and Jiang Yuehua followed Princess Baohua back to the palace. Princess Baohua knew that the two of them were unhappy, so she comforted her softly: "It's rare for cousin Shaohua to come to the capital. The imperial grandmother allowed her to stay in the palace for one night, which is also a sign of closeness. After a month or two, cousin Shaohua will be here." She’s back to Nanyang County. As cousins, you two have the right to give in to her.”

Jiang Guanhua muttered in a low voice: "Cousin, please don't coax us. The two of us know our own weight, and together we are not equal to a Nanyang Princess."

"Isn't it?" Jiang Yuehua answered sourly: "Right now, Jiang Shaohua is the most popular person around the Queen Mother. In my opinion, even cousin Baohua has been overshadowed by her." Princess Baohua took a look. Jiang Yuehua: "We are all sisters, why do you say such sour and weird things. You only see the beauty of your cousin Shaohua, why don't you see what she has said and done these past few months?"

"The Imperial Grandmother values ​​her highly and often lets her lead the charge. Only she can do these things. If you and I have such abilities, the Imperial Grandmother will naturally look at us differently."

Jiang Yuehua never expected that the gentle Princess Baohua could say such sharp words, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

Jiang Guanhua was also extremely embarrassed, coughed and said: "My cousin is right. Cousin Shaohua is different from us. Although she is a woman, she is a princess with real power. In terms of military strength and taxes in the vassal area, Nanyang County is better than us. Dongping County and Huaiyang County are much stronger than Wu'an County and Gaoliang County."

"As long as you understand this truth in your hearts." Princess Baohua continued softly: "The level of strength determines the level of status."

"You and I are both canaries raised in the palace. We are rich and noble, but we are also completely dependent on our father and brothers. My cousin Shaohua is different from us. In the past few years, she has governed Nanyang County. He spends half of the year patrolling the county, personally entering camps to win people's hearts, and also doing his best to promote new grain cultivation. "

"The road she will take in the future is destined to be more difficult and bumpy than ours. I hope that she can stand firm in the court and officialdom, and be proud. It will also let the world know that women are not weak and useless, and can also spread their wings and fly high."

Jiang Guanhua and Jiang Yuehua were both shocked.

This was the first time they heard such words from Princess Baohua.

Princess Baohua looked at the two stunned cousins ​​and smiled slightly: "What? Are you surprised? Do you think I should be jealous of cousin Shaohua? After all, I am Princess Daliang, but she stole the spotlight. "

Jiang Guanhua and Jiang Yuehua remained silent for a while, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"When she went to the imperial mausoleum that day, I did feel a little uncomfortable." Princess Baohua said frankly: "I am my father's only daughter, but I can't see him off on his last journey. I can only watch the prince and his second brother go to the imperial mausoleum." Tomb. When I knew that my cousin Shaohua was also going, I wanted to rush into the procession of carrying the coffin. "

"But I don't have the courage."

"I don't have the courage to face everyone's strange looks, I don't have the courage to face everyone's accusations, I don't have the courage to break free from the shackles of the word princess and behave deviantly."

"I didn't have the courage back then, so what qualifications do I have to hate my cousin Shaohua today?"

There was silence.

After a long while, Jiang Guanhua whispered: "My cousin said that, we are so ashamed. We neither have the strength and courage of cousin Shaohua, nor the sobriety and generosity of you, cousin."

Jiang Yuehua also tightened the corners of her mouth and said in a low voice: "We will never say sour or weird words again."

Princess Baohua smiled slightly: "It's good if you can figure it out."
