In July, the weather was too hot and the mood was not good, and Wang Yuwendi of Jiaodong seemed a little irritable?.??

It was almost dusk, he changed into a loose and comfortable cotton robe, and he didn't want anyone to serve him, and he came to the courtyard of Princess Mu's by himself as if he were walking.

The two have been married for more than 30 years, and their relationship is still very deep.

Mu Shi is more than half a hundred years old, and he has already faded, but King Jiaodong must come to her yard on five or six days every month.

There was never a shortage of beautiful young concubines around him, but there were some things he could only say to his wife, and only when he came to his wife could his heart be completely calm.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, a breeze carried the unique faint fragrance of acacia flowers, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, and the heat disappeared.

Hearing that someone seemed to be talking inside, he motioned to the mother-in-law guarding the door to be silent, and walked in softly.

At this time, it is the season when the acacia flowers are in full bloom, and a tree with green leaves and red flowers, green and swaying, pleasing to the eye, and no troubles.

Because the weather was hot and he was in his own yard, Mu Shi, like King Jiaodong, did not dress up.

Dressed in a moon-white thin silk shirt, with a random belt tied around her waist, her hair loosely tied into a bun, pinned with a mutton fat hosta, and her still graceful and slender figure, she looked as moving from behind as when she was young.

She is standing under the acacia tree and directing several maids to pick acacia flowers, and her soft voice can also make people calm.

"Green pear, the one on your left. ”

"Bailing, you go over and don't fall to the ground. ”

King Jiaodong stopped, looking almost stupid from a distance.

The green pear standing on the stool picking acacia flowers only cared about picking flowers, and Bai Ling, who was in charge of receiving flowers on the ground, turned his head and saw King Jiaodong standing at the gate of the courtyard.

How dare she turn a blind eye to the prince, and hurriedly said to Mu Shi: "Princess Niangniang, the prince is here." ”

Mu Shi turned around and saw that King Jiaodong was still standing there stupidly, and greeted him with a smile.

She blessed herself and said: "The prince came here so early, Yao'er and Qing'er, the two young couples, have not yet arrived." ”

A hint of imperceptible loss flashed in the eyes of King Jiaodong, his wife was still old after all, and she was still moving from a distance, but when she looked closely, she had no taste of talent at all.

He stretched out his hand to hold Mu Shi's arm, and said softly: "I wanted to come over to accompany Mrs. earlier, but who knew that Mrs. was so busy that she left her husband out in the cold." ”

Mu Shi said with a smile: "The prince is prone to insomnia every year in autumn, and the concubine has to prepare the acacia flowers in advance and cook porridge for you at that time." ”

King Jiaodong was moved, took Mu Shi's shoulder, and the husband and wife walked into the main room together.

As soon as he sat down, he let out a long sigh, stroked the back of Mu's hand and said: "Madam is the only daughter of the Mu family, but she has been alone with her husband for thirty years, and she has only been back to the capital two or three times, because her husband can't stand you." ”

How could Mu Shi not see that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, why are you so depressed today?"

King Jiaodong said in a bitter voice: "Yuwen Zhao has begun to do something to this king, and Madame has to suffer with me again." ”

Mu Shi was very calm, and said with a faint smile: "The concubine has been enjoying happiness with the prince for decades, and it doesn't matter in the future."

"It's as stupid as ever. King Jiaodong looked at his wife, who was no longer young, and couldn't help laughing.

While speaking, Yuwen Yao and his wife arrived, and the family of four moved to the flower hall, and the people had already prepared the family banquet, just waiting for Yuwen Siqing and his wife to arrive.

There are no traces of the slap on Yu Wenyao's face, but the discomfort in his heart is not so quickly eliminated, he frowned slightly and said: "Father, princess, and mother, I will arrange for Steward Zhang to go to Tianfu in the afternoon, and my sister and brother-in-law are not here yet." ”

The king of Jiaodong was also very strange, and called a maid and instructed: "You go and call Steward Zhang to this king." ”

The maid answered and withdrew.

After a stick of incense, Steward Zhang did not come, but his daughter-in-law came.

Steward Zhang lowered his head and knelt on the ground with a pout: "The slave has seen the prince, the princess, the prince, and the princess, all the masters are fine." ”

King Jiaodong is even more strange than Fang Cai, obviously he asked people to find Steward Zhang, why did he find his daughter-in-law, is it possible that the minions in the house now are starting to take him seriously!

He said coldly: "What about Zhang Qin, you are a woman and a Taoist family, and you dare to fool this king!"

Steward Zhang's family was so frightened that he lay on the ground and kowtowed: "The prince spares his life, the slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid man went out of the house this afternoon on the order of the prince, and he has not come back until now." He sobbed softly.

"Didn't come back?" King Jiaodong was annoyed by her appearance, slapped the arm of the chair and said, "What do you look like when you cry, get down for this king!"

Steward Zhang was so frightened that he hiccuped, and Fei also stood up and fled.

"Father, it only took half an hour for Tianfu and our palace to ride a horse, did Steward Zhang have an accident?" Yu Wenyao's eyelids jumped vigorously, and he had a faint bad premonition.

Without waiting for King Jiaodong to speak, he continued: "Do you think it will be the black hand of Yuan Zheng and Yu Wenheng?"

King Jiaodong pondered for a moment and said, "Impossible, a servant of the palace is also worthy of being their black hand?" Yao'er, you immediately go to Tianfu in person, be sure to see your sister in person, remember, it's your sister. ”

Seeing that his father was so strict, Yu Wenyao didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, father, my son will leave immediately." ”

However, things are so unexpected.

Less than half an hour after Yu Wenyao set off with a dozen guards, Steward Zhang returned.

He hurried to the study of the king of Jiaodong, and learned that the prince was in the courtyard of the princess, so he didn't even have time to wipe his sweat and hurriedly ran towards the inner courtyard.

"What are you talking about? The county lord is not in Tianfu?" King Jiaodong looked at Steward Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground and was about to become a puddle of mud, and felt more and more that something was wrong.

Steward Zhang breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "The slave arrived at Tianfu this afternoon, and was personally received by the chief housekeeper of Tianfu, he said that the county lord and the county master went to the county lord's wedding Zhuangzi outside the city half a month ago to spend the summer, and the slave thought that it was not too far from the city, so he took someone to ride a horse and ran away, who knew that the head of the village said that they had not seen the county lord for three or four years......"

"Nonsense!" King Jiaodong interrupted Steward Zhang's words: "Qing'er went there before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. ”

Mu Shi also interjected: "Yes, she also brought us a lot of home-grown vegetables and fruits in the Zhuangzi." ”

Steward Zhang pointed to the sky and swore an oath: "The slave will never dare to lie, the slave didn't believe it after the head of the village said it, and took someone to check it out in person, although the county lord's house is very tidy, but no one has lived in it recently." ”

Jiaodong Wang and his wife glanced at each other, but their eyes were full of doubts.

Has the daughter, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, been lying to them all the time?

Totally unbelievable. (To be continued.) )
