Chapter 797 Hypocritical Crown Princess 5
After receiving the prince's instructions, Nanny Tan brought the account book to Shen Qinglan that afternoon.
Nanny Tan was naturally loyal to the Crown Prince. It could be said that in Nanny Tan's heart, the Crown Prince was no different from her own child. Therefore, Nanny Tan was naturally happy that the Crown Princess was finally willing to take on the responsibilities of being the Crown Princess.
But soon Shen Qinglan poured cold water on Nanny Tan, because Shen Qinglan directly asked Nanny Tan to hand over the account book to Jiang Chunxi, while she herself hid in her small study to read.
"Mammy, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Chunxi looked at Mammy Tan's dark face with concern. "Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"
Nanny Tan took a deep breath, then looked at Jiang Chunxi and said, "It's none of your business, it's just that the Crown Princess..."
Nanny Tan frowned fiercely. "Didn't His Royal Highness ask the Crown Princess to take over the affairs of the Eastern Palace? That's why he asked me to bring the account book to her. But why did she ask you, a servant, to take over the account book while she herself hid in the study room?"
"You know, there are some things in the account book that I need to personally mention to the Crown Princess, but with the Crown Princess in this state, how can I feel at ease handing over the East Palace account book to the Crown Princess?"
"Madam Tan, you know my queen's personality to some extent. It's really too difficult for her to let her look at the account book," Jiang Chunxi's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. After all, she, a servant, should feel ashamed to have such a stupid master. "To tell you the truth! My queen plans to let me look at the account book for her."
"In this case, my queen only needs to grasp some important points," Jiang Chunxi said hurriedly, "But don't worry, Madam, I will do my best to persuade my queen and make her stand up as soon as possible."
The expression on Nanny Tan's face at this moment could be described as cloudy.
"Mammy, I know you must be very angry right now, but everything must be done step by step..."
"Okay," Nanny Tan interrupted Jiang Chunxi, "I have already delivered the account book. I will go back and report to the Crown Prince first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Tan left angrily, which was enough to prove how angry she was.
The corners of Jiang Chunxi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug sneer.
Her words just now were like adding fuel to the fire for Nanny Tan. She believed that Nanny Tan would definitely not let her down.
It must be said here that Jiang Chunxi's doing this is contrary to her plan. After all, she encouraged Shen Qinglan to take over the power of the Eastern Palace, wasn't she trying to indirectly put the power in her hands?
Naturally, Jiang Chunxi was certain that the prince would not give Shen Qinglan a face, so even if she wanted to take back the palace power, she had to have a good reason.
The situation of the prince in this world is different. It is definitely not enough to rely on beauty alone to capture the prince's heart.
In the prince's study, after hearing what Nanny Tan said, the prince's expression became very gloomy: "I understand. If there is nothing else, Nanny, please leave first!"
"Then I will take my leave now." Nanny Tan did not take advantage of the prince's favor to lose the proper manners of a servant, so even though she still had a lot to say, she still bowed respectfully and retreated.
"Heh!" After Nanny Tan left, the prince chuckled with a cold face, "Shen Qinglan, you are really great. How could there be such a stupid woman like you in this world, and such a stupid woman like you is actually my Crown Princess."
Nanny Tan sent the account book to Shen Qinglan with great fanfare, and naturally, Pan Liangdi and other concubines found out about it very quickly.
This made them all feel extremely dissatisfied. Just because Shen Qinglan was the Crown Princess, that idiot could take charge of the power of the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince would rather hand over the power to a servant than to a concubine without going through Shen Qinglan.
So how could Pan Liangdi and others not hate Shen Qinglan? This meant that every day when they came to pay their respects, Pan Liangdi and others would provoke Shen Qinglan even more, making Shen Qinglan so angry that she was almost depressed.
Several months passed quickly and it was winter with heavy snow. During these months, Jiang Chunxi helped Shen Qinglan to manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace in an orderly manner. Except for some minor mistakes at the beginning, there were no more mistakes.
Of course, those minor mistakes were made intentionally by Jiang Chunxi. After all, she had just taken over the palace affairs of the Eastern Palace and was able to handle them with ease and in an orderly manner. How could this not make people suspicious?
You know, not everyone is as stupid as Shen Qinglan and can be easily fooled.
When the prince returned to the East Palace that day, the servants immediately served dinner.
Looking at the two plates of green vegetables on the table, the prince was surprised and said, "Where can we get green vegetables in the middle of winter?"
"Your Highness, this was done by Miss Chunxi. Before winter came, she asked her servants to clean up a few empty rooms, put soil in wooden boxes and spread vegetable seeds. She also burned firewood every day to keep the room warm. Only then were the vegetables grown in the middle of winter," the eunuch who served the food replied, bowing his head. "Also, Miss Chunxi has had several baskets of vegetables sent to the imperial kitchen."
"After all, green vegetables are so rare in the middle of winter, so naturally the emperor and the ladies in the harem should also taste them."
The prince sat down, and without asking the maid to serve him food, he directly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of greens and put it into his mouth: "Hmm! Not bad, the taste of this green has not changed at all, and it is not worse than the greens grown in warm weather."
"Go and summon Jiang Chunxi. I want to ask her in person about growing vegetables in the middle of winter."
"Yes, I will go and summon Miss Chunxi over right away." The eunuch who spoke was Eunuch An, the chief eunuch beside the prince.
When Eunuch An arrived at the palace of Crown Princess Shen Qinglan, Shen Qinglan was having a meal.
Seeing Eunuch An coming, Shen Qinglan's eyes burst into great surprise. She thought that the prince would come to her place tonight, but she didn't expect that Eunuch An came to summon Jiang Chunxi. This made Shen Qinglan look at Jiang Chunxi with eyes as sharp as knives.
But she couldn't get angry and had to smile and tell Jiang Chunxi to follow Eunuch An to meet the prince. While she was saying this, the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn.
At this time, Jiang Chunxi didn't bother to care whether Shen Qinglan was going crazy. As soon as Shen Qinglan finished speaking, she followed Eunuch An and left. This naturally made Shen Qinglan furious again, and he even wanted to execute this bitch Jiang Chunxi.
In short! For a fool like Shen Qinglan, there is no logic when she is jealous. When the prince wants to see Jiang Chunxi, she will only think that it must be Jiang Chunxi, the slut, who seduced the prince. She will not think of other possibilities, such as whether the prince has something to do, so he wants to summon Jiang Chunxi.
