Chapter 181 The Cold War Is Like Ice
  Ning Wangfu.

After traveling for a period of time, the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the palace.

Chai Yan stepped forward quickly and was about to put the pedals on the carriage when he suddenly opened the carriage door.

The tall, cold and arrogant figure got down directly from the carriage.

"Prince?" Chai Yan was startled. What happened to their prince? Why does your face look so stinky?

Before Chai Yan could salute and say hello, Chu Lixuan flicked his sleeves and strode into the palace with a steely face.

Chai Yan was even more stunned, "..."

This……

In the end what happened.

While Chai Yan was stunned, Ning Muqing also got off the carriage. She was brisk and didn't need to step on her feet. She got off the carriage directly.

Chai Yan quickly bowed his head and said hello, "Princess."

Ning Muqing nodded calmly and entered the palace as if nothing had happened.

Chai Yan was left standing there, a little confused. He felt that something was not right about the atmosphere, but a servant would not dare to guess about his master.

"Go, go, why are you watching? Why don't you quickly lead the horse down?"

Chai Yan said to the groom next to him.

When Ning Muqing walked to the door, Chu Lixuan's figure had disappeared. She didn't know why she was walking so fast.
  She didn't say anything!

It was all a dream.

Ning Muqing's heart sank a little, and she stood there for a while before getting up and walking to her yard.

At noon, Chu Lixuan did not come over for dinner.

Inexplicably, the two of them seemed to be in a cold war.

Obviously they were friends last night and this morning, but by noon they seemed to have returned to strangers and parted ways.

Chu Lixuan strode forward with a cold face, his clothes fluttering as he walked, and a strong cold wind blew up.

Even the servants passing by realized that something was wrong with Chu Lixuan, and noticed the aura that was not quite right, so they stepped aside one after another, not daring to appear in front of Chu Lixuan.

Before they had time to salute and say hello, Chu Lixuan had already strode past them.

Servant os [Your Majesty, what happened today? Ate a firecracker? 】

No one dared to ask, no one dared to say, they could only exchange looks silently in private.

They guessed something big had happened.

Otherwise, the prince's eyes would not be so ugly.

Chu Lixuan walked to the study, and the housekeeper rushed there in a hurry. Before he could say hello, Chu Lixuan came down with a cold order.

"Go and call Zhao Sijing to me."

housekeeper,"……"

Zhao Sijing has been married to the palace for several years, but Chu Lixuan has never even taken the initiative to see her, let alone favoring her.

This time, it can be said to be unprecedented.

"Your Majesty, what did you just say?"

The housekeeper froze for a moment.

The man's eyes were filled with anger, "What's going on? Your ears don't work well because of your age?"

housekeeper,"……"

He is only in his thirties this year, but this news is really shocking.

The housekeeper did not immediately follow the instructions. Instead, he looked at Chu Lixuan's face and asked carefully and tentatively, "My lord, did you and the princess quarrel again today..."

quarrel?

Just quarrel, what do you mean?
  Does he often quarrel with that woman Ning Muqing?
  Chu Lixuan's face suddenly turned frozen, and he said coldly, "Whatever I ask you to do, you do it!"

Where is all this nonsense!
  And why are the people around him always mentioning Ning Muqing recently? This woman is really lingering.

Chu Lixuan didn't say much, turned around and entered the study.

The housekeeper told the guards to call, and exchanged glances with the maid serving tea, indicating to her that the prince was in a bad mood today and asked her to be careful. Then the housekeeper also entered the study. He didn't know whether it was due to the influence of Chu Lixuan's aura or psychological effects. The housekeeper just felt that the study today was also cold and gloomy, as if he had entered an ice cave.

Raising his head and carefully looking at the cold man next to the desk, the housekeeper thought to himself: Apart from the princess, there is probably no other ancestor who could make the prince so angry.

The butler walked over quietly, before he could speak.

Chu Lixuan frowned coldly and glanced at him, "What are you doing here?"

"My lord, yesterday when you didn't come out of the princess's room for a long time, someone from the palace came to give something to Concubine Zhao. It was too late and the servant didn't report it."

In order to find something to talk about with Chu Lixuan, the housekeeper had an idea.

Whenever Chu Lixuan heard the name Zhao Sijing, his tone became impatient, "Long story short."

"Last night, my servants paid special attention and asked the other party which palace they were from. They said they were from the middle palace. On the order of the queen, they came to invite the concubine to the palace today."

"Enter the palace?" Chu Lixuan frowned and said, "She is just a concubine. Does the queen need to send someone to call her?"

These words were obviously dissatisfied with the queen.

He wanted to apply for a title for Ning Muqing, but the queen said that she had a headache and the matter has not been done yet.

But when she turned around, she discovered that the queen invited her concubine into the palace last night.

Isn't this slapping her in the face?

The housekeeper reminded, "Your Majesty, although the princess is the main concubine of our palace, Concubine Zhao was appointed by the Dowager Empress and the Queen. Before the princess married into the palace, Concubine Zhao was in charge of the middle minister, so maybe the palace Li hasn't reacted yet, thinking that Concubine Zhao is the mistress of the palace."

There was no princess in Prince Ning's mansion before, so letting Concubine Zhao take charge of the backyard was the only option.

"So what? Now Prince Ning's Mansion already has a real princess." Chu Lixuan heard this very impatiently.

Chu Lixuan never paid much attention to trivial matters like the backyard, and had no interest in them. He usually wouldn't ask more questions.

A mere concubine of Zhao, whether she enters the palace or not, what does it have to do with him?
  The housekeeper naturally knew that Chu Lixuan did not want to care or take care of it, so he hurriedly explained, "There is usually no princess, so the people in the palace just think that Concubine Zhao is the princess, and let Concubine Zhao handle everything, and she has become accustomed to it. Yes, but now that the princess is here, it’s still the same. If the prince still lets Concubine Zhao take charge of the middle post, I’m afraid the palace will never recognize the princess.”

The palace was probably used to treating Zhao Sijing as Princess Ning.

"And whether it's to serve as a concubine or to do something else, it stands to reason that the princess should come forward, but this time the queen named her as a concubine, and there is nothing we can do about it."

The housekeeper paused as he spoke, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "There is another unfortunate thing. Some time ago, the prince made a golden statement to ground Concubine Zhao, and told her not to go out unless she had nothing to do.
  Now that the palace has sent invitations, this matter is indeed quite difficult. Moreover, Miss Tingqin also asked a servant to come over and ask the prince if Concubine Zhao's confinement can be lifted? "

Originally last night, Tingqin urged the housekeeper to come and talk to the prince about this matter.

But what a coincidence, the prince was in the princess's yard, and they didn't dare to disturb him easily. When the prince came back later, it was already late at night, and he fell asleep quickly, and the housekeeper didn't have time to ask.

Zhao Sijing can only be asked to follow the Queen's instructions and go to the palace to meet him today.

Unexpectedly, today, when the prince came back from outside, he directly said that he wanted to see Zhao Sijing.

If Zhao Sijing had been allowed to come here first, I'm afraid the ban would have gone unsolved.

The housekeeper is a good person, so there is no need to ask about this kind of thing, but looking at the serious look on the prince's face now, the housekeeper guessed that something might have happened to the prince and the princess, or the princess said something that irritated the prince. That's why the prince wanted to see Concubine Zhao.

After the prince's anger subsides, there may still be risks in this matter.

Seeing the suffocating expression on the prince's face, the housekeeper thought to himself that he should ask clearly about whether to lift the ban first.

If he really met Concubine Zhao, they would definitely be clamoring to lift the ban. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and let the matter go.

but……

It would be different if I had asked the prince about this matter first!

Regardless of whether the prince agrees or not, in the end the housekeeper does not need to take responsibility for this matter.

The housekeeper had said it all for this reason. He did not rush for an answer, but just stood there holding his breath.

There was dead silence in the study.

The man's eyes fell on the inkstone, and the ink had dried. He was so focused that he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Chu Lixuan's voice sounded neither sad nor happy, "Why hasn't the Zhongfu been handed over to the princess yet?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, "The prince didn't say anything, and the people below didn't dare to act rashly."

"Then why has no one ever told this king?"

Chu Lixuan looked at the housekeeper coldly.
