Chapter 150 Delivering Messages

Although Wang Jundai was not stunningly beautiful, she at least had pretty eyes and eyebrows, giving people a very comfortable feeling. Zhu Zhanqi couldn't help but look at her several times.

It was also the first time that Wang Jundai was stared at by a strange man, and she immediately blushed with embarrassment. Zhu Zhanqi quickly realized that his action was a bit abrupt, so he turned his eyes away and started coughing.

"Your Highness, do you have any sore throat? Would you like to have a cup of tea first?" Wang Jundai heard him coughing and handed him the tea with concern.

"Thank you. My throat is a little itchy. Maybe I caught a cold these past two days." Zhu Zhanqi took the teacup.

"It's winter, Your Highness, please keep warm."

"Yes, what does Miss Wang usually do at home?" Zhu Zhanqi asked, trying to find a topic.

"Well... I usually don't go out much. I just practice calligraphy, read books, and do needlework at home. Sometimes I will invite people I know to my home to chat." Wang Jundai explained briefly.

"I've heard that Miss Wang writes poetry. Is there a chance to see it?"

Wang Jundai said modestly: "These are all exaggerated rumors. How can they be called poems? They are just some random sentences. I am afraid they will not be accepted by Your Highness."

"Miss Wang is too modest. If there is a chance in the future, you can see Miss Wang's charm." Zhu Zhanqi didn't think much about it, he simply admired Wang Jundai.

Wang Jundai suppressed her joy and nodded, thinking that His Highness might have some feelings for her when he said that... She had heard about His Highness's concubine before, and after knowing that she was chosen, she thought she would be a widow. Now it seems that she is not completely without a chance.

Zhu Zhanqi was about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he stopped immediately when he saw the Princess of Han and others coming over there.

"You two seem to be having a good chat." Princess Han looked at her son's expression and guessed that at least he didn't look impatient. She had a higher opinion of this Miss Wang. She had always been worried that her son was willful and made random choices, but now it seemed that this Miss Wang had some skills.

Neither of them spoke, and the Princess of Han didn't pay much attention. She picked up the tea and said, "The tea is cold. How did you serve it? Why didn't you heat it up?"

"Please forgive us, Princess. It's our fault." The maid hurriedly took the tea away. Maybe she was too anxious or careless, but when she was holding the teacup next to Wang Jundai, the cup suddenly tilted, and the tea spilled onto Wang Jundai's dress.

"Miss, are you okay? I accidentally did it." The maid immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Princess Han immediately went to check on Wang Jundai, "Is Jundai okay? Did you get burned?"

"Your Highness, I'm fine. Fortunately, the tea was not very hot. I'm wearing a lot of clothes in this winter, so my clothes are just a little wet. It's nothing." Wang Jundai stood up in fright.

"What's wrong with you, servant? You're so clumsy. It's a good thing you're not burned, otherwise you'd be in trouble." When the Princess of Han heard that Wang Jundai was fine, she immediately spoke harshly to the maid.

"Princess, fortunately the person is fine. Let's just forget about it," said Mrs. Wang.

"Why don't you thank Madam for pleading for you? Although nothing serious has happened, I still want to punish you. I will fine you half a month's salary."

"Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Madam." The maid said gratefully.

"Jun Dai, you should probably change your clothes. You are about the same size as Shu Ning. Go to the deceased princess's wife and get some clothes for Miss Wang to change into."

"Yes."

"Madam, I am really worried about the work of these maids. I will take Jundai to change clothes myself. You will have to sit here and wait for a while. Zhanqi will accompany you well." Princess Han arranged.

"clear."

The Princess of Han took Wang Jundai to her room.

"Jun Dai, take off your clothes first, so you don't catch a cold. It's warm in the room, so don't worry. I'll bring the clothes over in a while."

"Okay, Princess, please forgive me for my rudeness." Wang Jundai took off her coat.

"I'm so sorry, you finally got the chance to open it, but the girls were so careless."

"Princess, please stop saying that. It was all careless. Besides, I am really fine."

"You have such a good temper. I really like you. Looking at you, I am reminded that the prince also has the same temper. He has always been tolerant and generous to his servants."

Wang Jundai didn't know why the Princess of Han suddenly thought of the Crown Prince, but she still said, "I heard that the Crown Prince accompanied His Majesty to Shuntian. Is the Princess thinking about His Royal Highness?"

"That's right. The prince has never left me since he was a child. This is the first time he has been away from me for such a long time. I won't say more. If the prince hears this, he will say that I am petty." Princess Han suddenly had tears in her eyes as she spoke.

Wang Jundai didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "If the princess really misses His Royal Highness, she can write a letter to His Royal Highness. It will also help ease your longing for him."

"I know what you said very well. This letter also has to go through the prince. Alas..." Princess Han sighed.

Wang Jundai suddenly felt a little reluctant, and after thinking for a while, she said, "If the princess trusts me, you can give me the letter and I will help you deliver it."

Princess Han was surprised and said, "Isn't this too much trouble? Let's forget it. Maybe the prince will be back in some time." Princess Han suddenly refused.

"Princess, you don't trust me." Wang Jundai suddenly made up her mind to help Princess Han.

"How could that be? I know you are a good child. Okay then." Princess Han had no choice but to agree.

Just then, the maid knocked on the door, "Princess, the clothes are here."

"Come in." said the Princess of Han.

The maid pushed the door open and said, "Princess."

Princess Han took the clothes and said, "Okay, you can go out first."

After the maid left, Princess Han said to Wang Jundai, "Then you change your clothes first, and I will finish writing the letter."

"it is good."

After Wang Jundai changed her clothes and came out, she saw that the Princess of Han had put the letter in a box.

Puzzled, he asked, "Why did the princess put the letter in the box?"

"Just in case, there's a gift for you in this box. Just take it out when you get back." Princess Han put the letter in the box, covered it with a cloth, put the things in place, closed the box, and handed it to Wang Jundai.

"I see. Your Highness is really thoughtful." Wang Jundai took it and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"What are you thanking me for? You are doing me such a big favor. Remember, when the time comes, you should deliver the letter directly to...they will deliver the letter to the prince."

"Okay, I understand." Wang Jundai nodded.

After everything was done, Princess Han and Wang Jundai went out together.

"I really have a bad memory. I just remembered that I haven't taken the things I prepared for Jundai. Luckily I just went back." Princess Han walked up to Madam Wang and said.

"Thank you, Princess, for your reward." Mrs. Wang also expressed her gratitude.

"Madam, you are so polite. To be honest, I feel sorry for what happened today. If it weren't for Madam and Jun Dai's tolerance and generosity, I would have been in big trouble."

"Princess, you are too serious. These are just trivial matters."

"Madam is still the best."

The two of them flattered each other, while Zhu Zhanqi and Wang Jundai sat quietly aside drinking tea.

Later, the Princess of Han invited them to have lunch, and they did not leave until the afternoon.

Before parting, Princess Han and Wang Jundai exchanged glances.

On the way back, in the carriage, Mrs. Wang asked her daughter about her impression of Zhu Zhanqi.

"You also saw this person today. How do you feel about it?"

"It's okay. I feel that the Second Prince is not like what they said." Wang Jundai thought about her feeling after the brief exchange today.

Mrs. Wang saw that her daughter seemed quite happy. "I think the Second Prince is a good person, but the matter of the concubine is true. I don't know what will happen when you marry him. You will be unfamiliar with the place and you must be careful about everything. The princess has a good impression of you. You must serve her well. The princess still has the final say in this mansion. So even if Sun wants to do something, she will have to think twice."

"But shouldn't my daughter please the Second Prince?" Wang Jundai didn't understand. She was marrying the Second Prince. Wasn't she supposed to please her future husband?

Madam Wang said angrily, "That's why you don't understand. If the Second Prince didn't have a woman, your first task after marrying him would be to win his heart. But there is already a favored concubine in the backyard, and she has given birth to a child. Although it's a girl, there are no grandchildren in the mansion yet, so girls are also precious. So it's too late for you to win over the Prince now. The person you need to win over now is the Princess. Only by winning over the Princess can you have status in the backyard. As for the Second Prince's heart, this is something you can slowly work on in the future."

"My daughter understands."

"Silly child, don't feel complacent just because His Highness is a little bit nice to you. You must keep a certain distance in everything. Only then will His Highness be interested in you." Madam Wang continued to teach.

Wang Jundai was overwhelmed by what she heard and could only nod her head in response. Looking at her daughter's expression, Mrs. Wang probably guessed how she could understand why she didn't listen. She thought, fortunately, the wedding wasn't coming up soon, so there was still time to teach her slowly.

After Wang Jundai returned home, she immediately went back to her room, took out the letter and carried her things. She realized that she had agreed readily, but now she didn't know how to send the letter. Naturally, she couldn't let her father and mother know, so she had to go out and do it herself.

The next day, Wang Jundai found an opportunity to go out. She sent the maid away and found the place where the Princess of Han told her to send the letter. After delivering the things, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, where did you go just now? It took me so long to find you."

"I suddenly felt thirsty, so I went over there to drink some tea. How about you buying anything?" Wang Jundai asked.

"I bought it." The maid said, raising the thing in her hand.

"That's good, let's go back then."
