Chapter 177 The 3th Prince’s Thoughts
The Third Prince waved his folding fan and saluted Tang Peipei with a smile, "Congratulations, General's wife. I heard that your fabrics are very exquisite. Did the Emperor allow you to supply fabrics to your workshop in the palace?"
Although Tang Peipei was disdainful of getting entangled with him, he still had to put on a show, after all, the other party was a prince.
"Thank you, Third Prince! I am honored to be favored by the Emperor." Tang Peipei said this in a distant tone.
"This prince has come here specially to see my wife today." The third prince chuckled, but his eyes were fixed on Tang Peipei.
Tang Peipei's heart was filled with alarm. She and the Third Prince didn't have much interaction on weekdays. What good could he do to her? Could it be Xinyu?
Thinking of this, Tang Peipei was inevitably nervous, but she pretended not to show it on her face and said calmly, "I wonder what the Third Prince wants to see me about?"
"It's nothing important, but my mother's birthday is coming soon. Although she is in the cold palace now, as her son, I should send her a token of my love. I wonder if Madam can help?"
The Queen's birthday? Thinking about the Queen's behavior, forget it. I don't want to bother with her affairs at all.
Tang Peipei just wanted to get rid of him quickly, "I am just a woman who knows some housework, I am afraid it is difficult for me to take on such an important task."
"This prince has heard that Madam is not only good at weaving and dyeing cloth, but can also design clothes. This is a rare skill." The third prince refused to give up and continued.
Tang Peipei frowned secretly, wondering why the Third Prince was still pestering her. "Third Prince, you are too kind. These are just some girlish things that are not worthy of being displayed in a formal place."
"I don't think so. If Madam could design a new dress for my mother, that would be great." The third prince said with a smile, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, you are too polite. I am just a woman, how can I have such great ability?" Tang Peipei evaded the question.
"I heard that the dress worn by the Prime Minister's wife at the last palace banquet was made by you." The Third Prince said with a smile, "The Prime Minister praised you for your craftsmanship."
Tang Peipei felt helpless. The Third Prince would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"Since the Third Prince said so, I will give it a try." Tang Peipei said, "But I need some time to prepare."
"No problem." The third prince said happily, "As long as Madam can finish it before our mother's birthday."
"Yes." Tang Peipei responded, "Is there anything else? If not, I will take my leave first."
"It's alright." The Third Prince said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."
After Tang Peipei saluted, she turned around and left, but she was thinking about how to deal with this troublesome third prince.
On the other hand, the queen learned that her son had gone to find Tang Peipei, and she angrily cursed Tang Peipei as a vixen who seduced her son.
She asked someone to invite the third prince to see her.
When the third prince heard that the queen had invited him, he naturally followed her.
Since it is a cold palace, it is naturally not as good as the queen's previous palace. It is sparsely populated and dilapidated.
Now, if it weren’t for the Third Prince, the Queen would probably be living a precarious life.
As soon as he arrived at the cold palace, the third prince paid his respects and then found a seat to sit down, waiting for the queen to speak.
The queen is now wearing plain clothes, but her face does not look depressed at all. It seems that her life in the cold palace is not difficult.
Seeing his attitude, the queen's heart tightened, and she asked in a flattering tone, "My son, I heard that you just went to see that country girl named Tang?"
The Third Prince hummed softly, and then said, "I wonder why my mother asked this?"
The Queen considered and said, "I wonder why the Emperor wants to see her?"
The Third Prince was obviously a little impatient. "It's nothing. I just heard that she has good craftsmanship, so I want to ask her to design a new dress for my mother for her birthday."
Hearing that the Third Prince actually asked Tang Peipei to design clothes for her, the Queen was a little skeptical, "Just for this?"
The Third Prince glanced at the Queen and asked, "What else do you think the Queen Mother wants to do?"
As the son of the Queen, the Third Prince knew him to some extent. Naturally, he didn't believe that he would go to see that dead girl in person just for such a small matter.
However, she couldn't say too much, so she could only persuade him kindly: "My son, there are so many women in this world. Tang Peipei just has a seductive face and is a country girl. Now she is Mu Jintang's wife. I heard that before she married Mu Jintang, she even had a son. Such an unfaithful bitch is really not worth your attention."
Although people outside were saying that Tang Peipei's son was Mu Jintang's, she didn't believe it. It was just a lie made up by the Mu family to protect their own reputation.
After all, they are mother and son. As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. The Queen guessed the Third Prince's thoughts accurately.
Since his mother had guessed it, the Third Prince no longer concealed his thoughts and said nonchalantly, "Mother, don't worry, I don't necessarily want her to enter my palace. As long as I can find a way to make her obey me once, that's all."
After hearing what he said, the queen screamed in her heart, it is indeed so.
No, I must dissuade the prince from this idea. I cannot let him be bewitched by this vixen, otherwise...
"My son, don't lose the big picture for the small. After all, everyone knows that Mu Jintang regards that dead girl as the apple of his eye."
The Third Prince would never listen to the Queen's advice. He just thought that the Queen was overthinking. Even if he raped Tang Peipei one day, Tang Peipei, a woman, would not dare to say anything. He would just have to swallow his anger.
However, he didn't want to use force. He wanted to slowly make Tang Peipei succumb to his charm and let her know that following him was the wisest decision.
Thinking that one day Lu Xinyu and Tang Peipei would serve him together, his heart was burning with excitement. He stood up and said to the queen, "Don't worry about it, mother. You are in the cold palace now, so you should not pay too much attention to what is happening outside." After that, he left without giving the queen a chance to speak.
The meaning of his words was clear. He hoped that the queen would stay in the cold palace and not cause any more trouble.
After the third prince left, the queen had a fit.
The situation was finally resolved after all the porcelain in the hall was thrown away.
"Okay, very good, you actually seduced my son so blatantly, so don't blame me for being rude!" The queen's chest was heaving with anger, because her son disobeyed her for the first time for a woman.
She didn't dare to do anything to her son, but couldn't she do anything to Tang Peipei?
But the nanny beside her looked at the few remaining porcelain pieces on the ground and shook her head and sighed.
Tang Peipei didn't know that a small episode that happened to her once again made the queen hate her, even more than before.
Now, with orders from the palace and designing clothes for the queen, Tang Peipei is extremely busy.
The workshop had to expand its area again because of orders from the palace.
However, just when Tang Peipei was extremely busy, he once again heard news about Lu Xinyu from the secret guard.
