Chapter 131: Temptation of Mutual Temptation
Yuan Hui had never seen Princess Yongfu before. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But I've heard a lot about her.
Her Royal Highness, a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, is separated from the horse master all the year round, and is willing to assist King Fu to guard Liaodong.
For more than ten years, the peace and tranquility in the northeast of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a direct relationship with her.
Yuan Hui had no way of imagining what such a character would look like.
However, standing in the spacious and luxurious main hall of King Fu's Mansion at this time, she was not nervous.
After all, she is a person who is used to being the head of the house, and her mentality is no longer comparable to the humble little maid in the Jingnan Hou Mansion.
Whatever happened to Her Royal Highness the Princess today, she was confident that she would be able to cope with the past.
With the report of the royal family, Princess Yongfu appeared in the sight of Yuan Hui and his wife.
Her appearance and dress greatly exceeded Yuan Hui's expectations.
Princess Yongfu is very beautiful, but it is different from the exquisite beauty of Gu Chao and Gu Xi.
Her eyebrows and eyes are very heroic, which is somewhat similar to Pei Tingyu, neither of them is a soft-looking woman.
But her appearance looks much more pleasing to the eye than Queen Pei.
Yuan Hui thought about it for a while, and quickly figured out the reason.
Queen Pei looks tough, but she wants to pretend to be virtuous and feminine, which makes people feel awkward at first glance.
And Princess Yongfu is completely natural, and her appearance and temperament are natural.
Coupled with the fact that he has been in charge of the military for a long time, he has a powerful momentum that belongs to the superiors, which makes people feel heartbroken.
Because she wanted to meet guests, Princess Yongfu deliberately wore a more formal dress today, but the style of the dress was simple and bright, and she did not make too complicated decorations.
And she was not surrounded by servants like other noblewomen like other noblemen, even at home, and only brought two handmaidens who seemed to be very shrewd and capable.
Although their hearts were broken, Dou Dayong and Yuan Hui were not deterred by her momentum.
The two saluted without humility or arrogance: "The last general (concubine) has seen Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Princess Yongfu raised her eyebrows, and the Dou family and her husband were really good.
She said softly: "General Dou, Mrs. Dou doesn't have to be polite. ”
One of the maids invited the couple to a seat under Princess Yongfu.
Another maid served them hot tea.
After doing these things, the two quietly withdrew.
Princess Yongfu looked at Yuan Hui for a moment and said with a smile: "Mrs. Dou is a girl from the Jingnan Marquis Mansion?"
Yuan Hui said: "Yes, the concubine is a girl in the second room of the Hou Mansion." ”
Princess Yongfu said again: "Refuse to know from this palace, except for the old lady of the Hou Mansion and Yuan Shangshu, the lady has not had any contact with other people in the Hou Mansion over the years, and even your parents, brothers and sisters?"
Yuan Hui didn't understand why Her Royal Highness the princess was so interested in her own affairs, but she faintly felt that it must have something to do with Doudou.
Her palms were slightly sweaty, what did Princess Yongfu know?
Dou Dayong was inconvenient to interject, so he only used his eyes to signal his wife not to panic.
With her husband's encouragement, Yuan Hui's heart calmed down a lot, and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness Princess Mingjian, the concubine body has indeed broken off contact with other people in the Hou Mansion, and the reason for this is that the concubine is inconvenient to say, and now my mother's family only has my aunt and second cousin." ”
Although the husband and wife do not have any intimate behavior, the love and trust between each other are very enviable.
Princess Yongfu said: "That's why there is one more Yuan Yuan, the second girl of the Yuan family, in this world." ”
Yuan Hui's heart was tight again, and she really came for Doudou.
"Mrs. Dou doesn't need to be nervous, there is no malice in this palace, just some curiosity. Princess Yongfu took a sip of her hot tea.
Yuan Hui said: "Your Highness means ......"
Princess Yongfu said with a smile: "Mrs. Dou has not yet turned thirty this year, and Miss Yuan Er is already fourteen years old, how could you be willing to adopt a newborn baby girl?"
Since she was adopted, Mrs. must have loved Miss Yuan Er very much.
And this palace looks at the relationship between you and your husband is very good, and I think General Dou doesn't mind treating Yuan Er girl as his own daughter.
But why did Mrs. Dou send Yuan Er to Hangzhou Mansion thousands of miles away when he was six years old, are you and your wife so reluctant?
Isn't it good for the girl you like to stay with and raise herself?"
After saying that, his eyes turned to Dou Dayong, as if he wanted to find an answer from his face.
One question after another, the tone was not sharp, but Dou Dayong, who had experienced a hundred battles, was also a little caught off guard.
Yuan Hui also had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, it seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has done her homework and knows everything about Doudou's experience in the past few years.
She pondered for a moment and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is also a mother, you know better than anyone else the reason why her mother is worried, although Yuan'er is not the biological daughter of the concubine, the feeling in her heart is the same." ”
Princess Yongfu snorted slightly, of course she knew.
This Mrs. Dou Yuan's speech is very clever, which means that she, as a mother, threw her son alone in the palace when she beat a child, and she was ruthless?
She deliberately said in a deep voice: "That being the case, why do you send her to Hangzhou Mansion, don't tell this palace that you can't even afford a girl a few years old!"
Dou Dayong couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, it's not that the last general and his wife can't afford to raise Yuan'er, but they are afraid that they can't raise it well, the last general is a rough person, and he doesn't know a few big characters, and the environment in the northwest is harsh, Yuan'er has been weak since she was a child, so she had to be sent to the old lady of the Hou Mansion to be raised." ”
Princess Yongfu still had a straight face.
It seems that the Dou family and his wife do not trust themselves.
But the more cautious their attitude is, the more it shows that there is something wrong with the little girl's background.
Yuan Hui saw that her husband and Her Royal Highness the princess were at a stalemate, so she hurriedly said: "The concubine has the courage to ask, Her Royal Highness the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, why would she be interested in such a trivial matter?"
Princess Yongfu leaned back on the chair, and the corners of her mouth curved: "Because the second girl of Yuan has a crush on the only son of the palace and wants to be the little princess, do you think the palace should be interested?"
"Impossible!" the Dou family and his wife said in unison.
Princess Yongfu sneered, "You two mean that this palace is lying?"
Yuan Hui and Dou Dayong looked at each other, and they didn't know if Princess Yongfu was a liar.
But in the matter of Doudou, Her Royal Highness the princess really doesn't need to lie.
Especially lying in front of people of ordinary status like their husbands and wives.
can see Doudou as a daughter-in-law, she can go directly to the Marquis Mansion in Jingnan to propose marriage.
If you can't look down on it, with her power and means, it is very simple to make Doudou disappear immediately.
So......
She invited the couple to the Fuwang Mansion with great fanfare today, and asked these many questions in person.
Is it like it, or is it not?
The Dou family and his wife were confused.
Moreover, even if Her Royal Highness the princess takes a fancy to it, they don't want Doudou to be a little princess.
It is difficult for anyone to predict how deep the water will be in the Huo family.
And this is not the best time to completely tear your face with Queen Pei, and suddenly there is a farce with Queen Pei's niece to grab her husband, who knows how to end?
