Chapter 3: The Princess of the County
It was not until the evening of the second day that the door of the firewood room opened.
"Girl. Cui'er ran in and helped her up, and was about to shed two tears to show her loyalty, when she suddenly saw the clothes Shen Chuchu was wearing, and immediately glared again, "Ah, isn't this my clothes?
The firewood room was cloudy and cold, Shen Chuchu hadn't eaten or drunk all day and night, and he was weak to speak at the moment, "Can you help me go back first?"
"Oh. ”
Cui'er helped Shen Chuchu all the way back, still muttering, "These clothes are dirty and torn, girl, you have to compensate me." ”
Shen Chuchu struggled to keep smiling.
Finally tossing back, Shen Chuchu casually took out a silver hairpin from the jewelry box and gave it to Cui'er, "Don't babble, my ears are going to be calloused, you go to the kitchen to get me a bowl of porridge to drink, I'm dying of hunger." ”
After taking the silver hairpin, Cui'er left with a smile.
If you really have money to make the ghost grind, it is not easy to ask for a pot of hot tea in normal times, but now it is only a moment to bring the meal.
Well, just a bowl of white porridge.
"The girl has been hungry for a day, so let's eat something light, so that my spleen and stomach will not be overwhelmed. Cui'er explained with a look.
Shen Chuchu choked.
Since beating her, Jiang Chu has inexplicably become trapped in Xiyuan, and the food is not light one day?
But now she is hungry and can't take care of it. She picked up the bowl, blew on the hot air, and took a big sip.
Before he could swallow it, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss Jiang, the princess of the county invites you to come over for dinner. ”
The princess of the county?
Isn't that her mother-in-law?
In fact, speaking of which, this princess of the county is not her mother-in-law. Although Fu Heng is the eldest son of the county prince's mansion, the county princess is not his biological mother.
At the beginning, Shen Chuchu brought Fu Heng back to the capital, and according to the rules, letting Fu Heng be the little maid next to her was already a promotion, but Shen Chuchu always felt that Fu Heng should not be just that.
Later, she asked Fu Heng if he wanted to study or go to the army.
"In the army. ”
When Fu Heng said these two words, he kept staring at Shen Chuchu's eyes, his eyes were dark and shining, and some stars seemed to have fallen into his eyes.
"Have you thought about it? Joining the army will have to endure a lot of hardships, and maybe you will even lose your life. Shen Chuchu was a little surprised at the time, she thought that Fu Heng would choose the most comfortable method, after all, reading is not hard and not tired, and the literati are romantic, and many people yearn for it.
"No regrets. ”
Fu Heng was sent to the barracks like this, and Shen Chuchu was a little reluctant when he sent him to the barracks, it was rare to meet such a satisfactory one.
"You're just sending him away?" the Ninth Princess's eyes widened when she found out, "It's such a good color, why don't you stay in front of you?"
The ninth princess, Zhao Xiyue, has always been used to messing with her, and she never speaks in tune.
"You don't understand. Shen Chuchu pretended to be profound, "If you love him, you have to give him the best of everything." ”
As a prophecy, Shen Chuchu later gave himself to Fu Heng.
However, I have to say that Fu Heng is indeed a good material, he has only been in the military camp for two years, he has been fighting everywhere, and he was soon named a long-term general.
"Now it's okay, the duck in hand has flew. The Ninth Princess laughed at her, "Look at what General Chang still does with your face." ”
Naturally, he couldn't make a face, because at the dinner on the day he was enthroned, he saw Fu Heng with the king of the county, and he was immediately shocked, how could this long-term general who had just been sealed be so similar to his deceased wife?
He Jun Wang was suspicious, and after going back, he investigated carefully, and really found that this Fu Heng was his eldest son who had been separated for many years.
At the beginning, the princess of Hejun died in childbirth, with one corpse and two lives, leaving only a three-year-old eldest son. The princely family, it is difficult to have true feelings. His wife died for only half a year, and she married the king of the county, who is now the princess of the county.
Who knew that on the day of the wedding, he was in a hurry and lost his eldest son, and it was a full seventeen years.
Now, the capital is lively.
From the princes and nobles to the women in the market, they all said that the long-term general became the prince's concubine.
Lao Lai recognized his eldest son, and the king of the county wrote Fu Heng's name on the family tree with a handful of snot and tears. However, there is one more thing that is very head-scratching.
At that time, the youngest son of the princess of the county had already been crowned the prince, but according to the rules of the ancestors, the position of the prince of the world should be reserved for the eldest son.
Later, it was Fu Heng who took the initiative to tell His Majesty that he had no intention of acting as a son, so that His Majesty did not have to worry about it.
Emperor Kang Cheng praised Fu Heng for having the demeanor of a general, and asked Fu Heng if he had any rewards he wanted.
Many years later, Shi Shugong wrote this.
Fu Qing knelt down and said, "The minister wants to ask the county lord of Pingzhao to be his wife." ”
The emperor pondered for a long time, allowed. 」
However, with just a few strokes, Shen Chuchu's lifelong event was decided. She was sent to Fu Heng like a reward.
Before becoming Jiang Chu, Shen Chuchu had only met this mother-in-law a few times, and she had always been faint and had no deep friendship.
But at the moment she was a little strange.
Jiang Chu is the niece and nephew of Fu Heng's biological mother, and she should have nothing to do with the princess of this county, so she should be decent, what should she do?
It can't be that I heard that she was locked up for a day and a night, and specially asked her to come over for a good meal, right?
Jiang Chu reluctantly gave up the steaming white porridge and went to the courtyard of the palace next door. That's right, I don't know how it was designed in the first place, the general's mansion is separated from the palace by a street.
"Miss Jiang is here. A mother-in-law stood at the door and greeted her with a smile, "Come in, I've been waiting for a while." ”
This mother-in-law, Shen Chuchu, has seen it, and it is the confidant of the princess of the county, Grandma Cui, so it seems that the relationship between Jiang Chu and the princess of the county is not ordinary.
Shen Chuchu stepped in, Cui'er followed behind, and was about to go in with him, but was dragged by Mama Cui, "It's really cold outside, you don't have to wait inside, I'll take you to eat a cup of hot tea,"
Cui'er struggled for a moment, only to feel that Cui's hand was as hard as an iron chain.
She suddenly smiled brightly, "Okay." ”
In the house, a table of dishes was set, and only the princess of the county sat on the main seat, and there was not even a maid around.
Hongmen Banquet?
Shen Chuchu was uneasy in his heart, and blessed his body slightly, "See the princess." ”
"Get up. ”
The princess of the county is a continuation, she is not very old, and she is well maintained, and now she looks young and beautiful. She curled the corners of her lips and motioned for Shen Chuchu to sit down.
"I heard that you were punished by the general. Poor to see, I specially asked someone to cook duck soup, you can drink some to make up for it. ”
The princess of the county blatantly called her over, she would not be stupid enough to poison her, right? Thinking about it like this, Shen Chuchu also relaxed, and simply picked up the chopsticks and clamped a duck leg.
"Thank you, mother. ”
The princess raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "These days, you have also suffered a lot in the General's Mansion, don't worry, I promised you at the beginning, and I will promise you now." ”
What do you mean?
Shen Chuchu didn't say anything, looking like he was concentrating on gnawing on duck legs.
"I have already arranged for someone to go into the kitchen, it is estimated that it will not be long before the general's body will have problems, he is suspicious, and the people in the kitchen will definitely be broken by then. But it doesn't matter, while he is sick, I will send you to him, and when the time comes, you will work harder, and when he dies, I will give you glory and wealth. ”
After saying this, Shen Chuchu was directly stunned.
If she understands correctly, what does the princess of this county mean is that she poisoned Fu Heng's food? And this Jiang Chu is still in the same boat with her, preparing to kill Fu Heng?
