Chapter 176 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (41)
A year later, when the third princess Li Danruo turned sixteen, she got married.
Happiness is a comparative degree. Compared with the eldest princess and the second princess, the third princess's dowry was already quite good, both in terms of fiefdom and fiefdom.
But almost everyone knows that even though the fifth princess has not been officially married yet, her dowry will definitely be better than that of the third princess.
Because Xu Wenyang married the princess, he was given the title of third-rank imperial concubine's son-in-law, but it was a nominal position and had no real power.
In the first two years of their marriage, the two were quite loving, but as time went on, many conflicts emerged.
The difference in their growing environment caused irreconcilable problems between Li Danruo and Xu Wenyang, but because Xu Wenyang was afraid of her princess status, he dared not speak out, and his heart became more depressed.
After the initial passion of her wedding with Xu Wenyang faded, the Third Princess also felt that he was petty. Especially after she met Chu Yuhe several times at the banquets hosted by aristocratic families, her disgust for her son-in-law increased.
"Why is the princess so depressed?" After she got married, Nanny Yan became her housekeeper, so she spent less time with her. However, the wet nurse who was "honored" before was brought back by Li Danruo.
After several years of "honored" life, the wet nurse felt even more strongly that she must serve the princess. She no longer wanted to live a life where anyone could step on her.
Therefore, she tried every means to please the Third Princess Li Danruo. In fact, the banquets where she met Chu Yuhe by chance were those at which she had secretly inquired about and instigated Li Danruo to attend.
The wet nurse grew up with the third princess, and she knew very well what the princess was thinking.
When Li Danruo had just had a quarrel with Xu Wenyang, she could see that the princess's mind was not on her husband at all. This could be seen from the way the princess asked her husband.
These rules and regulations are basically based on those of the Prince of Anguo, and the princess is simply treating her husband as a substitute.
Of course, Nanny Yan knew that the Third Princess was tormenting her husband like this, but she was now the housekeeper with great power and had a lot of things to do, so she just let the princess do what she wanted. After all, these minor fights only happened in the princess's mansion, and she was in charge of the household, so they wouldn't leak out to the outside world.
As for the wet nurse's little thoughts, Nanny Yan didn't take them seriously at all.
This series of signs were ignored, which led to the occurrence of a major event later.
"Mammy, why do you think Brother Yuhe doesn't like me?" The third princess finally asked the question hidden in her heart to the nanny, "Why does everyone like Li Handan?"
"You are already a princess, why do you have to embarrass yourself like this!" The nanny advised, "If we can't find the real master, we can just raise a few servants who look like him! They are young and obedient, how great!"
"Someone who looks like her!" Li Danruo rushed to the mirror immediately after being reminded by her nanny. "Nanny, do you think she looks like Li Handan?"
The nurse studied her face carefully.
The Empress and Concubine Rou both resembled Cui Lanzhi to some extent, so the daughters born to these two people and Emperor Zhaohui were of course more like sisters than the other princesses.
"If I change into her clothes and pretend to have the same expression as her, do you think Brother Yuhe will recognize me?" The third princess Li Danruo suddenly said with a smile.
The nurse bit her lip, thinking that only when the princess was happy could she live a good life, she made up her mind and said, "It should be difficult to tell when she is not awake."
"Mammy, please help me." The third princess Li Danruo asked the wet nurse beside her.
The wet nurse nodded and agreed to her request.
After hearing this, the wet nurse deliberately paid attention to the dress of the fifth princess Li Handan, and then made a few similar clothes herself. At the same time, she asked craftsmen to make a few identical pieces of jewelry, and gave them to Li Handan on the grounds of deep sisterly love.
The last step was to inquire about Li Handan and Chu Yuhe’s itinerary.
The emperor does not bear the painstaking people.
The wet nurse finally found out that both of them would attend the Marquis Chang'an's birthday banquet fifteen days later.
The third princess had placed clothes and hairpins similar to Li Handan's in the carriage that day. Halfway through the banquet, she deliberately soiled her dress and asked someone to take her to a room to change clothes.
As for the fifth princess Li Handan, she basically wouldn't stay at the banquet for too long. Li Danruo took advantage of this opportunity and impersonated Li Handan to trick Chu Yuhe into her room.
In fact, at this time Li Handan had already boarded the carriage back to the palace.
After Chu Yuhe entered the room, he first smelled a strong fragrance. He didn't pay much attention at first, thinking it was just an ordinary incense, but after taking a few steps, he felt a little dazed.
Just when he was about to become alert, he was bewitched by the woman behind the gauze curtain.
Because of the gauze curtain between them, Chu Yuhe couldn't see clearly, and he unexpectedly discovered that the person behind was the "Fifth Princess Li Handan" he had been thinking about.
Li Handan hooked her finger at him from behind the gauze curtain, then she slowly backed away and finally leaned against the couch.
The spices in the room and the beauty in his heart, each one was stimulating Chu Yuhe. He no longer cared about anything else. He walked quickly forward, lifted the gauze curtain, and kissed the beauty.
