94.Chapter 94
As the concubine Su Yan's companion, the pet group who lived in the East Palace finally rioted after nearly seven days of not seeing the hostess.
On the second day of Su Yan's wedding, before she had time to meet the female officials, eunuchs, chief guards and others of the East Palace, Father-in-law Luo, who was in charge of the Rare Beast Garden, found Li An with a bitter melon on his face.
"Mr. Li, you can always be saved." Father-in-law Luo, who was no more than thirty years old, nodded and followed Li An's side, and offered a big purse by the way.
Ang Lee held the shelf and ignored the answer, "What's wrong?" β
"Somehow, Niangniang's pet suddenly became irritable and hurt several people." Luo Gonggong is really helpless, the little eunuch under his command has been injured several times, although it is not an important injury, but it has to be raised, and the Treasure Zoo has been disturbed recently. That's the princess's pet, they can't beat or scold, only when the ancestors are like offerings, and they have to watch all the time to prevent them from hurting myself too much, it's really going to kill people.
"What is it to hurt a few people, isn't there no dead people?" Ang Lee said disapprerovingly. The zoo in the palace, a few did not die that year. Now when the crown prince and the crown princess are hot, how dare he run over to make trouble, "Okay, the princess's pet, you take care of it, don't say it's hurt, it's just losing a hair, you all have to be careful." β
Father-in-law Luo was really about to cry, he couldn't care about it, he grabbed Li An's sleeve, and cried with a handful of snot and tears, "Manager Li, you are pitiful and pitiful, those ancestors will make trouble again, it will hurt people and hurt themselves, and the small ones will not be able to cut off a few heads." β
Hurt yourself? Li An didn't have time to dislike Grandpa Luo, so he hurriedly stopped him and asked him clearly. Then, he began to mutter, should he risk his life to disturb the prince and the lady?
Before he could figure it out, Banxia over there was ordered to see the pets and came back to tell Su Yan about the situation. Su Yan was very sorry, and specially sent the people from the Rare Beast Garden to appease him. When Father-in-law Luo heard this, he took a handkerchief and wiped his face, and ran away happily.
Some of the ones who have been freed again, because they haven't seen Su Yan for several days, are particularly clingy. Not only that, but it is also very xenophobic, this is the prince, who refuses to let him get close to Su Yan within three feet.
"Qingqing......" The prince looked at his wife who was surrounded by leopards and tigers sadly, "Isn't it good for us to sit together?" I can still eat cherries for you, you can just play with them. The prince raised the small blue and white bowl in his hand, and in the bowl was a cherry poured with cane sugar. Where Su Yan couldn't see, the prince secretly aimed at the beasts who had taken advantage of his mother with vicious eyes.
The white-haired parrot flapped its wings and complained, "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death, beauty, help!" β
The prince's sword eyebrows were upside down, his eyes widened with anger, what did he just hear? What did that stupid bird call him? Beauty...... Stupid bird, don't you want Mao'er! The prince turned his head and glared at the complaining parrot, thinking in his heart how to kill this stupid bird, plucking the fur off and making a shuttlecock to play.
Su Yan took a lot of effort to appease the pets, and then took the initiative to get close to her husband, kissed the corners of his lips shyly and timidly, smoothed the prince's hair, and then went to see the subordinates of the East Palace in exhaustion.
Given the large number of bodyguards around her, and the biggest boss of the East Palace as a backer, these meetings will be very smooth.
Considering that Su Yan's maids who were waiting for her were all her companions, and she was not very familiar with the palace, so she couldn't find Li An for everything, the prince sent the newly raised Qi Yang to Su Yan's side. If there is no accident, Qi Yang will be the chief eunuch beside Su Yan in the future.
Qi Yang was not satisfied with the prince's An faction. The crown princess is certainly favored now, but who knows how long she can be favored, she will follow the prince steadily. But in front of the crown prince and the crown princess, he couldn't say a word, and he had to respond with joy on his face.
Su Yan looked at this Qi Yang, and saw that he was neither tall nor short, his face was fair, his facial features were delicate, his eyes were shrewd, and he smiled at himself very attentively. But somehow, her feelings for this Qi Yang were not as good as Li Ping, who was beside the prince before.
"Shichiro, this is someone you need to use. Give it to me, what do you do? Su Yan didn't want to accept him.
The prince was scooping a spoonful of cane sugar cherries into Su Yan's mouth, and said with a smile: "There are many people around me, no less than him, you can use it with peace of mind, if it doesn't go well, I will change it for your husband." β
Qi Yang looked at Su Yan pitifully, this was the moment that decided his fate, the dissatisfaction just now was thrown out of the clouds, and now he only hoped that the crown princess could keep him.
Su Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, "What about Li Ping?" "She has been married for two days, and she has not seen Li Ping.
"I made a mistake and let me send it away." The prince said flatly, his hands kept moving, and he had recently fallen in love with the loving interaction of feeding.
Got a mistake? Su Yan was thoughtful, if she could, she still wanted to choose Li Ping. Li Ping has been with the crown prince for many years and is very familiar with all parts of the East Palace. The most important thing is that she has been in contact with Li Ping a few times, and she feels better than this Qi Yang.
The prince lowered his eyes and looked at him, "Li Ping has been punished almost as much, if Qingqing wants him to serve, it's okay." β
"What did he do wrong?" Su Yan asked curiously, with her rough understanding of the crown prince, this highness looked arrogant and domineering, but it was rare for him to be tolerant of his own people. If Li Ping hadn't been directly given death by him, he must have had the intention of activating him again.
Looking at his beloved wife's crystal clear phoenix eyes, the prince suddenly didn't want her to know about the women that Daddy sent him. He mumbled, "It's just a little thing." β
The prince didn't want to talk about it, and Su Yan didn't ask, but smiled: "If it's not a big mistake, I'll choose him." Looking at the prince's face that was about to turn black, she added casually, "In the East Palace, I have only been in contact with him and Li An, and others are not very familiar. β
Familiar? The prince thinks about it, in the past two years, Li Ping has gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver things much more times than Li An. His family Qingqing has just married into the palace, and he really needs a familiar person. "Ang Li, you send someone to call Li Ping and tell him that from today onwards, you will go to serve the crown princess."
"Yes." Li An deserves to be full of joy, he and Li Ping have worked together for many years, although they compete for power and profit, they still have a friendship. Watching Li Ping being stroked to the end by His Royal Highness, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox. This time Li Ping went to the side of the crown princess, with His Royal Highness's favor for the crown princess, except for him, I am afraid that no one in the East Palace will dare to step on Li Ping, such as that Qi Yang.
Qi Yang's heart at this time couldn't say what was wrong, the crown princess picked Li Ping, which means that he could stay with His Royal Highness. But when the crown princess chose someone, he was actually not as good as Li Ping, who made a mistake, which makes people angry when they think about it.
Li Ping, who originally thought that he was dead in the stable, immediately cried when he heard that the prince asked him to serve the crown princess. Li An, who came to herald the order in person, was also sad and unbearable, and after crying with him for a while, he wiped his face with a handkerchief and scolded: "Don't howl, why don't you go and wash well, change into new clothes, and go to serve outside the Li Zheng Palace." β
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Ping wiped his tears and followed the little eunuch to bathe and change clothes.
Li An reminded loudly in the back, "Wash it a few more times, wash off the smell of horses on your body, and save the smoke of the lady." β
"Get out!" Li Pingtou didn't reply and scolded, and left.
Li An curled the corners of his mouth, with Li Ping by his wife's side, Qi Yang wanted to come out, wait a little longer.
The sweet day passed quickly, and before going to bed at night, Su Yan soaked in the bath, pillowed on the prince's chest, felt the steady and powerful heartbeat in the chest, and was a little drowsy.
The prince was very happy about taking a mandarin duck bath in the bathing hall, and she had just been tossed twice, and she was a little mentally ill when she was soaked in hot water.
The prince stroked the skin of the person in his arms, and said softly: "Qingqing, I will accompany you back to the door tomorrow for my husband." "The daughters of Da Xia, on the third day of marriage, will be accompanied by their husbands to return to their parents' homes, so that the wife's relatives know that their family loves their wives well, and please rest assured that the wife's relatives are reassured.
It stands to reason that Su Yan, who became the crown princess, and those palace concubines who entered the palace, did not need to return to the door. Different from the palace concubine, Su Yan, who is the crown princess, when she returned to the door on the third day, she was sent by the Ministry of Rites to send gifts instead of the prince and the princess.
The prince didn't want his bride to leave regrets, so he had already made up his mind to accompany Su Yan back to the door on the third day of the wedding to show his deep affection and respect for her.
Su Yan was awakened by the prince's words flying from outside the sky, she turned around from the water and met her husband's dark eyes, which were full of affectionate affection for her.
The prince gently kissed her trembling eyelashes, gently hugged the person into his arms, and stroked her white and warm beautiful back, "Don't think about it, leave it to me." He just wanted Qingqing to live a relaxed and happy life under his protection, and he was there for the rest, and he didn't need her to worry about it at all.
The little face was close to her husband's warm skin, and Su Yan would be full of emotion. In the days of her wedding, she deeply felt the prince's intentions for her. As a delicate girl, how can you not be moved.
Married into the palace alone, of course she wanted to go home to see, and tell her father and aunt and brothers and sisters-in-law in person, she is fine, and she doesn't have to worry about it. It's best to hug the newborn nephew, who should be a lot fatter than when he was born. It's a pity that she can't be so willful. There are days when you go home to see your parents, and you don't have to choose a day that is in the limelight.
"Of course, it's good that Shichiro is willing to accompany me back to the door, but I have all thought that I will make new incense for Shichiro tomorrow, and everything has been prepared." Su Yan didn't refuse directly, but was slightly distressed, "If you go home, you have to accompany your grandfather, father, and brother to drink and sprinkle, and you don't have time to accompany me." Her voice became more and more low, "Father only allows you to take a few days off, and after that, you have to go to the court, study, and deal with court affairs, and you can't be together every day like when you were newly married." β
The prince made her say it with a smile, and hurriedly hugged his depressed wife and coaxed: "No, no, we will stay together day and night in the future." I thought that he was the only one who wanted to stick to Qingqing, but I didn't expect Qingqing to also want to be with him all the time.
"Come back tomorrow......" The prince was entangled for a long time, he wanted Qingqing's new-made incense, but he didn't want Qingqing to leave regrets, it was really difficult.
The considerate wife opened her mouth to solve this problem, "If you want to accompany me back to my parents' house, it doesn't have to be tomorrow." In the middle of summer, we both moved to Xishan, and when the government affairs of the DPRK and China were not so busy, my husband would accompany me home again. Su Yan snuggled up to the prince's chest and said softly.
"Okay, it's all up to Qingqing." The prince was confused and attached to the red lips of the person in his arms and kissed her deeply.
The day is warm and the wind is light, and a beautiful day begins with the eagle flying and the tiger jumping prince.
Early in the morning, Xiaobai and Xuanyu, who were easy to lift the ban, flew into the back garden of the East Palace, picked the roses that bloomed at the beginning of the year, and flew back to the Lizheng Hall excitedly.
The palace maids who were waiting in front of the Lizheng Hall early in the morning to wait for the prince and the princess to get up saw two birds of prey, one black and one white, opened the door and let them in by the princess's personal palace maid Mu Lan.
This group of palace women are discolored, they are eagles, with sharp teeth and sharp claws, what can they do if they hurt His Highness. They looked at each other, unable to make up their minds. One gritted his teeth, was ruthless, put the things in his hand into the hands of his companions, and said in a low voice: "You look at it, I'll go and ask Manager Li." With that, he picked up his skirt and ran away.
The rest of the palace people, you look at me, I look at you, with a look of hesitation in their eyes. The palace maid didn't run a few steps, and happened to meet Li An and Li Ping, who were walking together, and now the thin Li Ping is already the head manager of the crown princess's side.
"Early in the morning, what are you running around?" Li Ping reprimanded unhappily. This is the Lizheng Palace, the bedroom of the crown prince and the crown princess. These palace maids, the rules are getting worse and worse. Speaking of which, Li Ping didn't expect that the crown prince would let the princess live in the Lizheng Palace, and there was also the possibility of letting the princess live permanently.
Your Highness, is this your chance to give up your favored side concubine? Li Ping said self-deprecatingly. However, this is better, no one will share the favor, and the position of the lady is more stable. After a few years, after a few more Yuxue's smart little palaces, the lady can be regarded as having a complete foothold in the royal family, and at that time, there will be ten or eight more goblins, and she will not be afraid. At this time, Li Ping has completely regarded himself as the crown princess.
Li An frowned, "Yulan, isn't it your turn to be on duty this morning?" "This palace maid who ran around, he had some impressions, as if she was the last batch of saints to stuff into the East Palace. Of the eight people who came with her, two had already been thrown into the pulp, and five were now scattered in various places, and she was the only one who was the maid of the Lizheng Palace.
Yulan hurriedly saluted, with just the right amount of panic on her face: "Manager Li, just now the Mulan girl next to the lady let two eagles into the dormitory. The slave and maid are afraid of hurting His Highness and the lady, so they came to look for you. β
Li An smiled, "You came late, no wonder you don't know." Xiaobai turned out to be the pet of our Royal Highness, and later gave it to the lady. β
Yulan was even more shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to ask for mercy, "Mr. Li is gracious, the slave really doesn't know about this." β
Li An didn't say much, and only bumped Li Ping with his elbow, "Now these palace maids are in your charge." "With the hostess in the East Palace, he naturally shouldn't interfere anymore.
Li Ping didn't say anything, just looked at Yulan up and down several times, and said calmly: "It stands to reason that you are worried about Your Highness and the lady, we shouldn't punish you." Yulan's face was just about to show a little joy, but she heard his words change, "However, if everyone is like you, what if they mistakenly serve the master?" β
He stared at Yulan's light and elegant little face, and suddenly smiled, "Our lady said, merit is rewarded, and punishment is deserved." You don't have a lot of work, but it's not small, and our family won't beat you anymore. It's just that from tomorrow onwards, you go and follow your granddaughter and take care of the garden. β
Yulan was stupid, knelt in place and looked at the backs of Li An and Li Ping calmly away, and it took a long time to sit on the ground, stunned, with only two words in her mind, it's over!
On the first day of Li Ping's appointment, he dealt with a palace maid with a lot of thoughts for his master, and he felt that the work was carried out well, and Yan SΓΉ had a smile on his face.
Li An nodded: "You have dealt with it, but you have to talk to the lady." "Don't make the same mistakes you used to be.
Li Ping nodded silently.
At this moment, in the main hall of Li, the prince was glaring at the two eagles standing on the dressing table, "Qingqing's headdress should be chosen by me, you stupid bird should be far away!" "Early in the morning, I just wanted to hug my kiss and mother and love him well, but these two stupid birds grabbed his hair into a bird's nest, making him ugly in front of Qingqing, which was unbearable.
Now, when his Qingqing is dressing, what hairpin to use, what to shake, and what to say should be chosen by him, why should he listen to a stupid bird.
Xiaobai doesn't care what the previous owner says, in short, you must use me to pick it. It lowered its head, picked out the tired silk golden phoenix, pushed it to Su Yan's hand, and rubbed her fingers flatteringly, and whispered "cooing" in its mouth. Xuan Yu's brown eyes also looked at Su Yan without blinking, and his persistent appearance made it sad.
Su Yan was softened by it, raised his hand to caress it, and his crystal clear phoenix eyes quietly looked at the prince, silently pleading.
The prince was unhappy, but he couldn't bear to refuse his beloved wife, and finally defeated the pair of sheared eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Then you want me to give Qingqing a hairpin." β
"Okay." Su Yan smiled softly. She turned her head and nodded Xiaobai's head, "This time it's as you wish, you should be happy." β
Xiaobai rubbed her again, obviously very happy, and pushed the flowers picked by Xuan Yu again, Su Yan pinched its mouth, and simply agreed: "Okay." β
The competition for favor has not fought for two flat-haired beasts, and the prince's grievances are about to break through the sky. Even if his Qingqing obediently let him wear hairpins today, it can only make up for his injured soul a little.
"Qingqing ......" At breakfast, the prince hugged Su Yan and wanted to stop talking. He wanted to ask which was more important, he and the two flat-haired beasts. However, competing for favor with a beast seems to be a little more shameful, and the prince does not intend to destroy his tall image in the eyes of his wife for the time being.
Su Yanzheng took a three-ding bun, and only then did she take a bite, and saw the prince staring at the bun in her hand. Miss Su struggled for a long time, but she was still embarrassed to feed the one she had bitten to her husband. She chose a bun on the same plate as the three buns she carried, put it in the prince's bowl, and smiled at her husband obediently.
The prince was not satisfied, so he hugged her and shook it, "Qingqing, I want the one you eat." β
Su Yan: ...... She looked around, and luckily she had been able to send everyone out this morning. There was no palace maid to serve in the palace, Su Yan was more or less comfortable, pursed his mouth, and fed his three Ding Bao to the prince's lips.
The prince bit his mouth with a smile, took Su Yan's hand, wiped out the three dingbao in two or three bites, and directly took her chopsticks, "Qingqing, let's be together." "What he calls together is to sit people on his lap, and then you share the same piece of food with you and me at a time.
Su Yan, who had been devastated for two days, was silently entangled, and let him feed him honestly, anyway, he didn't escape at the palace banquet, let alone in the East Palace.
After breakfast, the prince took Su Yan to the back garden of the East Palace for a walk with great interest, in the early summer morning, the weather was neither cold nor hot, just suitable for the newlywed couple to hang out.
The back garden of the East Palace, although not as large as the back garden of the Taiji Palace, still covers a vast area, at least Su Yan and the prince have been shopping for a morning, and they have not finished a third of the visit. Compared with the back garden of Taiji Palace, it is more delicate and elegant, and has the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens.
Because Su Yan likes all kinds of flowers and trees, in order to please her, the prince has been planting flowers and trees in the East Palace since he got married. After more than two years of hard work, the entire East Palace is full of flowers and trees, and flowers continue to bloom in all seasons.
At this time, the young couple is standing in front of a large wall of roses, which is seven or eight meters long, and all kinds of roses are blooming and fragrant.
The prince deliberately chose two big red roses, replaced the two sent by Xuan Yu in the morning, and said eloquently: "Those two flowers are a little wilted, change two for Qingqing for your husband." β
Su Yan's gaze swept over the two roses that were still bright and bright, and a beautiful loneliness unconsciously curved out of his lips, and the shallow wine vortex on his cheeks appeared slightly, attracting a light kiss from the prince who was fascinated.
"Let's have bibimbap in the evening." Su Yan looked at the blooming roses, the tip of her nose was full of the rich aroma of roses, and suddenly she wanted to cook a meal for her newlywed husband.
The prince has always been responsive to her, "Good." β
"Let's pick some roses and go back, and the freshly steamed flower dew will be used for bibimbap." Su Yan turned around and beckoned the palace maid who was standing far away, "Kumquat, Yinliu, you two go and get some bamboo baskets." β
"Yes."
Waiting for the bamboo basket to be fetched, Su Yan took the bamboo scissors, and wanted to pick the flowers himself, but the prince held the jade hand and snatched the bamboo scissors from her hand, "It's good to come for the husband." β
Su Yan didn't fight with him, he carried a small bamboo basket and followed behind the prince, he cut the flowers, she took the basket to pick it up, and the two cooperated to a tacit understanding.
When the young couple enjoyed themselves in the East Palace, they deliberately chose Su Rong, who went back to her parents' house today, sat empty all morning, and did not wait for the prince to compensate Su Yan to return home. Thinking of King Wu, who deliberately accompanied her back to the door, Su Rong's heart was full of sweetness.
She didn't know that in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu and Su Zhoucheng, who had been thinking for a long time, were relieved after lunch. Su Zhoucheng smiled: "Fortunately, Ashu persuaded the prince. "The prince made enough exceptions for his daughter, and when he did not ascend to the top of the throne, there was no need for such exceptions.
