"I estimate that the princess will return to the palace early tomorrow morning, you arrange for someone to go over to guard the palace gate, and as soon as you see the princess coming out of the palace, you will quickly explain the situation in the house, including why the Mu family entered Kyoto this time!" Li Hui frowned when he said this, and then then instructed Lu Ru: "And let the housekeeper go out and inquire carefully, to see if there is a suitable yard for sale in the capital, I remember that a while ago, it wasn't because of the unfavorable disaster resistance, Your Majesty dismissed a lot of officials!" There should be a suitable and cheap courtyard now, find a few more places to turn back and show the princess! Also, you must quickly inform the prince of this matter, the prince is busy in the palace, and it doesn't matter if he comes back or not, but he must let the prince know what is going on with this matter!"
Speaking of this, Li Hui pressed his somewhat aching forehead: "Forget it, let's write a letter to the prince! This will estimate that the city gate is also closed, you can arrange for someone to send it to the prince later!"
After Li Hui finished speaking, he asked people to prepare paper and pencils, and wrote a letter to Duanmu Shuxuan, the content of the letter not only included why the Mu family came to Beijing, but also vaguely mentioned that there was a deep contradiction between Mrs. Mu and Princess Mu, and hoped that Duanmu Shuxuan could go home with Princess Mu!
"Take the token and hand it over to the guards along with this letter at the palace gate!" Li Hui sealed the seal of the envelope with fire paint, took out a token engraved with a tiger's head on it and handed it to the guards, with this token, the Weihu army guarding the palace gate can call this letter to Duanmu Shuxuan's hand as soon as possible, otherwise if it is handed over tomorrow, I am afraid that it will be too late!
"Yes~~!" The guards hurriedly put the letter and token close to their bodies, and rode all the way to the palace gate against the dark sky, and sure enough, the palace gate was closed at this time, the guard hurriedly shouted, and waved the token, after confirming the identity, the Weihu army on the city tower hung a bamboo basket with a rope, and the guards put the letter, the token and the silver in the bamboo basket.
"Who wrote this letter to the king of San'in?" shouted a team leader standing on the tower of the city gate, bowing his head.
"This letter was written by my concubine and wanted to be handed over to my prince! Because there was a distinguished guest in the house, and the prince and the princess were in the palace, there was no way to think of sending a letter to the prince overnight!" The guard standing outside the city gate hurriedly replied, the content of this letter was originally some things in the family, but he was not afraid of being seen anything.
"That's it~~!" The squad leader touched the heavy silver in his arms, if the content of this letter is really like this, then it's nothing to send it over, "That's okay~!I'll go and arrange someone to send the letter to the King of San'in!"
Having taken the letter, the captain had the token put in the basket and return it to the guards, and then he took a circle around the walls and slipped down.
"The letter sent by the Li family?" Duanmu Shuxuan frowned when he took the letter, he didn't understand what was going on, he actually let the Li family send a letter to the palace after closing the palace door, but when he opened the letter and read the contents, he suddenly had a sense of being lucky that he knew about this matter in time.
"Someone~~!" Duanmu Shuxuan put down the letter in his hand, and then called someone to start arranging, and early the next morning he made an excuse and waited outside the Ciren Palace early.
"Lord Wang~~!" As soon as Princess Mu entered the door with the child, she saw that Duanmu Shuxuan was already sitting next to the old queen mother and was talking, she was really moved and apprehensive in her heart.
"Princess~~!" Duanmu Shuxuan looked up and immediately raised a smile when he saw Mu's family, and when he saw his own pair of children led by the maid behind Mu's, this smile was even bigger: "Come on~~!, hurry up and let my father see if you two have grown taller again!"
The twins Duanmu Shuxuan is also very fond of him as a father, and he also adopted Li Hui's suggestion, and he didn't want to be as strict as Duanmu Jing before the two children, on the contrary, he was more loving, and even put down his body to play with the children, so the two children's feelings for their father were also very deep, in fact, before Duanmu Shuxuan spoke, the two of them broke free from the maid's hand and ran in front of Duanmu Shuxuan.
"Oops~~!This child doesn't grow anything, but the meat on this body doesn't grow less!" Duanmu Shuxuan held a child in one hand and weighed it, and then put the two of them on his lap, "You two little things, you don't eat less good things here with your grandmother, why do you feel a lot heavier than when you hugged it last time?"
The two children were not afraid of Duanmu Shuxuan, but sat on their father's lap and began to chatter about what they had eaten recently, and at the end of the day, Huang'er also smiled and glanced at the old queen mother and said: "The rice here is fragrant~! delicious~!"
This made the old queen mother laugh out loud, and while laughing, she screamed in her heart, and she really hurt her heart for these two great-grandsons.
"These two children! It's really gratifying!" The old queen mother hugged Huang'er in her arms and said: "Obedient and sensible! And this young man knows filial piety to the mourning family! Two days ago, I also made some sherbet for the mourning family, saying that it is good for the eyes to drink, so that the mourning family drinks a cup every day, and the eyes are bright~!"
Since the old queen mother entered the palace when she was young, she has not experienced anything, and no one has seen it, although it is said that His Majesty's heirs are scarce today, but it does not mean that there are no children, plus every time those women enter the palace, they will bring children to come, but there is no child like these two, and she is not old and dizzy, of course, it can be seen that those adults are specially educated, those are spontaneous children, and the two children here really put their own great grandmother in their hearts!
The old queen mother turned her head and glanced at Princess Mu kindly, and then said to Duanmu Shuxuan: "Your daughter-in-law is a good one! I won't say much about this person, the key is to educate the two children so well!"
"Queen Mother, you have complimented you!" Hearing the old queen mother say this, Princess Mu hurriedly stood up from the low stool on the side.
"Sit down~~!Sit down~~!" The old queen mother pressed her hand to Princess Mu lovingly and asked her to sit down, and then she said: "It's not that the mourning family praises you, it's that you do a really good job, these two children have been here for so long, how did you teach these two children, the mourning family sees it in their eyes, and don't talk about the mourning family, even His Majesty praises it, Shuxuan, it's a good thing that you can have such a concubine!"
Princess Mu's eyes were red when the old queen mother said this, and Duanmu Shuxuan's heart was happy, he knew the energy of the old queen mother, don't look old now, but His Majesty was able to ascend the throne smoothly back then, all relying on the old lady's iron-blooded means, so His Majesty's opinion on the old queen mother is very important, and Princess Mu can get such praise from the old queen mother, which is definitely a very beneficial assist for him at this time.
"Okay~~! The mourning family also knows that your mother's family is coming! As soon as this woman gets married, she will be far away from her mother's family, and it is not easy to see each other, so hurry up and take the two children to show her grandmother!" After the old queen mother took Princess Mu's hand and said this, she turned her head and said to the female official behind her: "Go and bring the things over and let the two of them take them back, this is also the gratitude of the mourning family to the Mu family, the Mu family has raised such a good daughter-in-law for the royal family!"
The female official hurriedly asked the palace maids to bring up all the gifts that had been prepared before, and the old queen mother definitely had a lot of good things in her hands, not to mention what kind of honor it was to be rewarded from the queen mother! Princess Mu knelt down to thank the old queen mother, and the old queen mother gave a few instructions, although she said to Princess Mu that she should take her children to accompany her family more, but the reluctance in this eye can be seen by everyone.
"Lord Wang~~~!" Princess Mu, who was in the carriage and left the palace, held Duanmu Shuxuan's hand tightly, today he can push away everything and accompany him to the other garden, which is definitely to give himself the greatest face, not to mention that the word outside came to say that his grandmother also came, thinking of his grandmother's disgust with him, if the prince goes back with him, the result will definitely be two things.
"It's okay~~!The two of us are husband and wife~!" Duanmu Shuxuan patted Princess Mu's hand and said, in fact, why did he accompany the princess back today, and more importantly, the letter that Li Hui gave him last night, because he was very outstanding in the process of disaster relief, so His Majesty is also very important to himself now, and most of the ministers in the court are also very optimistic about themselves, in such a situation, they must not break out the topic of discord between the concubine and the mother's family, you must know that those opponents are now looking for their own faults, in case this becomes an excuse for them to attack themselves, even if he can settle this matter afterwards, it will definitely leave a bad impression on His Majesty, which is the last thing he wants to see.
As soon as the carriage left the palace gate, the subordinates who had been waiting there for a long time hurriedly stepped forward, not only talking about the reason why the Mu family came to Beijing, but also mentioning that Mrs. Mu was unwell, Duanmu Shuxuan did not hesitate anything, and immediately ordered someone to take his own sign to the Tai Hospital to invite the Tai Doctor to come over. The carriage went back to the garden without stopping.
Knowing that Duanmu Shuxuan and the princess were coming back today, Li Hui packed herself up early in the morning, and when the next person told her, she immediately took someone to the gate and waited.
"Say hello to the prince and princess~~!"
"Hurry up! It's all a family that doesn't need to be so polite!" Before Princess Mu could say anything, Duanmu Shuxuan stepped forward to help him first, in his opinion, this Li Hui is not only his own lucky star, but also thinks about himself everywhere, if she hadn't reminded her in advance this time, he would really have ignored this and that.
Duanmu Shuxuan's thoughts in Princess Mu didn't know, so when she saw Duanmu Shuxuan's movements, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, but on her face, she still walked over and took Li Hui's hand with a smile on her face and said: "I and the prince are not in the other garden for a while, everything has to worry about my sister, my sister is really ashamed in her heart!"
"Sister, don't say that! What can I do here! I'm embarrassed to let my sister say it!" Li Hui lowered her head slightly and said a little embarrassed, but she quickly raised her head, and then supported Princess Mu with her backhand, and then whispered to her: "I have already asked people to go to the capital to inquire to see if there is a suitable house, I heard that Master Mu should enter Beijing next month, and it will save me a panic when I buy a house first!"
Princess Mu's expression became a little strange after hearing Li Hui's words, but she was relieved in her heart, although she said that she was her own family, but in fact, Princess Mu didn't want them to stay here, if she could send them away earlier, it would make her much easier!
"My sister is really exquisite! no matter what, she thinks so thoughtfully!" Princess Mu looked at Li Hui and said such a sentence!
Regarding the emotions contained in Princess Mu's tone, Li Hui didn't seem to hear it at all, and just pursed her mouth and smiled.
"What did you say, that girl is back?" Old Madam Mu, who was still lying on the bed uncomfortable, quickly sat up from the bed when she heard that Princess Mu was back.
"Old lady, what are you going to do? You're still sick!" As soon as Mrs. Mu, who was waiting on the side, saw the old lady who was like being beaten with chicken blood after hearing the news, she felt that her brain was suddenly hurting, in fact, even now she didn't understand, why the old lady was so unkind to her eldest granddaughter, and it could even be said that she was disgusted to the core, even if it was an enemy! And she has asked many times under her for so many years, this Princess Mu has not done anything particularly excessive since she was a child, but the old lady has an inexplicable hatred for her.
"I'm fine!" Mrs. Mu said with her dizzy head and gritted her teeth, she actually knew very well how uncomfortable she was now, but she just didn't want to show weakness in front of her granddaughter, in her opinion, if she showed weakness in front of this granddaughter, it would be tantamount to showing weakness in front of her daughter-in-law who died before, and it was tantamount to admitting that the things she did back then were wrong!
