Chapter 182
  The housekeeper was about to say that the prince used to hate the princess so much that the whole house agreed that Ning Muqing, the princess, existed in name only.

But soon, an idea flashed in the butler's mind, and he immediately understood why the prince would ask this.

The housekeeper and the prince explained, "Your Majesty, after all, the princess came here as a substitute, and she almost poisoned the prince on their wedding night. People in the palace and the palace are still skeptical about the princess.

Everyone is not sure what the prince means to the princess. You have never taken care of the backyard, so the palace meetings and the ladies' greetings are all given directly to the concubine.

The concubine has been acting on behalf of the palace for several years, and it has been fixed that she is the one, and it is not easy to change for a while. Of course, it would not be different if the prince had other instructions. "

The reason why Zhao Sijing still has such a high status in the palace is mainly because of Chu Lixuan's character.

Chu Lixuan never attended meaningless banquets, and he was not very good at socializing. Even if he received a letter from the palace, he would not go every time. After all, Chu Lixuan was busy with a lot of military affairs every day.

Everyone in the house knew that Chu Lixuan was a person who would not care about or interfere with trivial matters.

It doesn't matter whether Ning Muqing is recognized or not. The important thing is that these people have become accustomed to Zhao Sijing. Before Chu Lixuan officially expressed his stance, Zhao Sijing defaulted to being the princess of Prince Ning's palace.

Chu Lixuan had never cared about such a thing before, and no one mentioned it.

Some things don't all require the master to speak. Don't they, the servants, exist to share the master's worries?
  The housekeeper has always been aware of this phenomenon in the palace and palace.

These days, Zhao Sijing is banned, but there is still an endless stream of invitations and invitations from outside.

Zhao Sijing always liked to go out to have banquets and parties with others, but after the lockdown, she was not allowed to go, and the housekeeper refused all of them.

Only this time...

It was the Empress who sent someone to see Concubine Zhao.

The housekeeper would not dare to reject this kind of invitation directly.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, the housekeeper directly told Chu Lixuan all the details behind this matter.

After saying that.

The butler also sighed and said, "Your Majesty, we are all servants and we don't dare to guess the master's decision, but these days the princess's changes are also visible to the slaves.

You are also becoming more and more concerned about the princess. On the contrary, the concubine keeps making things difficult for the princess, which really makes it difficult for the servants. They have no choice but to ask the prince to make a decision. "

"Nowadays, the concubine is still in charge of all matters in the palace's backyard. Who should be handed over to the middle-aged emperor, and whether the grounding should be lifted? These are all matters that slaves are not qualified to make decisions.
  If in normal times, if these matters were brought before the prince, the prince might not have the patience to listen, so the slave could only take advantage of this opportunity to boldly ask the prince for an idea.

Originally, if the palace did not have a main concubine, it would be default to let the side concubines have various relationships. But now that there is a princess, the side concubines are concubines and are not qualified to exercise the rights of the princess.
  This kind of thing has already become a joke in other people's houses and has spread throughout the capital. Just because this is Prince Ning's house and the princess's previous reputation was somewhat bad, no one in the capital dares to say anything. "

In fact, the housekeeper is a person who attaches great importance to rules.

The original 'Ning Muqing' was really unable to hold up the wall, so it was a helpless move to hand over the affairs of the palace to the concubine.

Once Ning Muqing's "mud" could be supported on the wall, the housekeeper felt that it would be better to return to the orthodoxy.

The princess is the princess, and the concubine is the concubine.

The most important thing is that the housekeeper feels that Zhao Sijing is getting more and more arrogant and does not even take the princess into consideration.

In the past, Zhao Sijing was cautious because the foundation of the palace was not stable. Since Ning Muqing became the princess, Zhao Sijing has become confident and proud because of her contempt for Ning Muqing.

She fixed her sights firmly on Princess Ning's position.

Why can Ning Muqing be Princess Ning, but she wants to be a concubine? She now wants to sit in the position of Princess Ning with her head held high and upright, and no one dares to look down on her status as a concubine.

After Chu Lixuan heard this, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his eyebrows were sharp for a moment. He suppressed the strange emotion and said with a calm face, "What else?" If it weren't for the butler mentioning it today, he would I really don’t know.

It turned out that Zhao Sijing was usually in charge of Zhonggui in the house, and he never paid attention to Ning Muqing, and she was very popular outside the house.

Ning Muqing, who was seemingly competitive and quarrelsome with him, lived this kind of life.

No wonder that when he went to the bamboo forest courtyard that day, Ning Muqing asked for ingredients. It seemed that without him and Ning Muqing dining together, it would be difficult for her to have a full meal.

His indifference made Zhao Sijing's heart grow bigger.

Behind his back, Zhao Sijing dared to play tricks under his nose and ask for things that she shouldn't ask for.

"And..." The butler looked a little embarrassed.

"Now that we have said it, let me tell you what is going on. I would like to know what else Zhao Sijing has done behind the scenes, and what disputes and conflicts have arisen between her and Ning Muqing."

There was a hint of coldness on the corners of Chu Lixuan's lips.

Ning Muqing is a woman who can really show off her strength. He won't tell her anything without asking her.

Got it!
  This time he pretended not to know even if he asked. He wanted to see how long this woman could last.

"Since the prince is Chrysostom, I will tell you the matter directly. I hope the prince will not blame the servant for talking about the concubine behind her back."

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that the concubine has done nothing untoward and unreasonable behind her back. I just want to tell the prince that after the princess married into the palace, not only the queen but also the family members of various families inside and outside the palace,
  Even everyone in our palace regards the concubine as the real Princess Ning! Forget about the rest, after all, the prince has given all the power in the palace to the concubine. This should be the right that only the princess has.
  Moreover, Your Majesty, you usually don’t care about the affairs in the backyard, so naturally you don’t know much about it. You also didn’t say that the housekeeping rights will be handed over to the princess after she gets married, and the princess doesn’t care about this either.
  But people outside, as well as those serving under the palace, think differently. Since the concubine has the rights of the princess, to them, the concubine and the princess are actually the same, they are just names. difference.

Even until now, there have been rumors in the capital that your lord is going to divorce the princess and then straighten up the concubine. Therefore, the status and weight of the concubine are getting higher and higher.

Even though the concubine is currently banned, no one takes the princess seriously. Everyone thinks that you will divorce the princess sooner or later. The princess has silently tolerated these things and never said anything."

Chu Lixuan frowned tightly, "When did I say that I wanted to straighten my concubine? And when did I say that I wanted to reconcile with the princess?"

The butler was helpless, "Your Majesty, rumors are not just what you said and spread. You may not even have said this. There are rumors outside for no reason.

The matter has been spread, but who knows where it came from? Anyway, by the time the slave found out, the matter had already spread widely in the capital, and even trying to clarify it was useless. "

Chu Lixuan narrowed his eyes slightly and sat motionless on the stool. After thinking for a few seconds, he finally sneered and said, "There is no smoke without fire. I definitely don't believe this rumor that it was said automatically. I'm afraid it was deliberately done by someone." Let it go!"

The butler lowered his eyes and said nothing.

After a while.

The man asked coldly, "How much does she know about this matter?"

"Who?" The housekeeper didn't respond.

Immediately, the housekeeper saw the man's cold eyes, and his whole body was alerted as if he was electrified. Then he immediately understood, "My lord, are you asking about the princess?"

"Who else besides her!" Chu Lixuan asked angrily, "Does she also know about these rumors? And has she ever asked about the feeder?"

Butler, "Well..."

"These things are not secrets in the capital. I'm afraid the princess has heard about them. As for the matter of the middle feed, the princess asked the prince once when he was unconscious, and never asked again after that."

The butler felt that he had said it tactfully. After all, he was just a servant, and some things were not easy to overstate.
