Chapter 136: The Most Ruthless Emperor's Family
"Don't worry, the old slave has already sent her clothes over. Our prince is a rare good appearance in Daqi, even if he wears ordinary clothes, he is much more handsome than the young masters of the Liu family. ”
The princess was a little displeased when she heard this, she got up and tidied up her clothes slightly, and said, "No matter how good the skin is, it is a pity that there is no talent to match." ”
The old lady's heart tightened, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly remedied, "Thank you Mr. Feng..."
I didn't want the princess's face to be even colder, so she scolded in a low voice, "Shut up, don't say this in the future." You go to the front to see how dinner is prepared, and remember to make a steamed fish, the prince likes it. ”
"Yes, yes, mother." The old lady was so blushing that she really didn't know that the princess was still grateful when she talked about Mr. Feng a few days ago, why she was scolded for only mentioning one sentence today. But how dare she question her master, she hurriedly retreated.
Princess Liu stood with a frown for a long time, and sighed. She had known that she owed too much to that person before, but since she saw her son's return, dignified and amazing, the guilt in her heart was like a thousand pounds of boulder, so that she was extremely reluctant to mention that person again. It was as if as long as no one mentioned it, she never had such a creditor who owed a lot.
"Auntie, woo, aunt!" Princess Liu was thinking about her thoughts, but a young girl cried and opened the beaded curtain and ran in.
Princess Liu's eyes flashed with pity, and she quickly hugged the girl and asked, "Xiaozhen, didn't you go out to Zhou Shilang's mansion to enjoy the flowers, why are you crying?" ”
Liu Xiaozhen hugged her aunt's arm tightly, crying very sadly, her already charming face was dyed with grievances, but it was also extremely pitiful.
"Auntie, they said they invited me to enjoy the flowers, but they kept pulling me to ask my cousin about it. They... Woo..."
Princess Liu was amused when she heard it, and she pulled her handkerchief and comforted her while wiping her tears for her niece, "You girl, people are just asking, what are you anxious about?" He is my son, and I didn't nod my head, and no one wanted to set foot in the gates of this palace. Got it? ”
A flash of frenzy flashed in Liu Xiaozhen's eyes, but her face was still pitiful and asked, "But... Aunt, the woman my cousin married in Qingxian..."
"Hmph, which tongue is chewing with you?" Princess Liu snorted heavily and blamed, "You don't believe your aunt's words, why did you believe the rumors of your subordinates?" Do you think that a wild girl from a peasant family is worthy of stepping into the gate of the palace? ”
"Auntie, don't be annoyed with Zhen'er, okay? I just... I'm just afraid..."
"You don't have to be afraid of anything, just get along with your cousin. For the rest, my aunt is here. Princess Liu patted her niece on the back and instructed, "Go back to the Liu family tomorrow, if your father does not object, the day after tomorrow, my aunt will enter the palace to ask for a decree, and I will definitely marry you before the end of the year." ”
"Oh, aunt!" Liu Xiaozhen seemed to be so ashamed that she covered her face with her hands and refused to look up again.
Princess Liu laughed heartily, and finally reached out to arrange her niece's shirt and dress, and her heart became more and more determined to marry this daughter-in-law. Back then, she insisted on marrying into the palace, and the Liu family, which had caused generations of scholars, was ridiculed by the entire Daqi, and her father died of illness early. Later, the niece was named Xiaozhen by her brother at birth, which means filial piety and chastity, and she must not learn from her rebellious aunt.
Now, if she marries Xiaozhen into the palace and becomes the next princess of Zhongshan, she will enjoy boundless wealth and wealth, and she can barely make up for the damage she did to her family back then...
The aunt and nephew talked so happily, didn't they know that someone had already passed their conversation to a courtyard not far away. Murong Huaide listened to Bingsan's report while writing with a pen, but at the end, he was noncommittal, and only asked lightly, "Has that batch of medicinal materials been shipped?" ”
"Hui Gongzi, it will be shipped early tomorrow morning, and Binger will secretly follow the escort, and it must be delivered to the Four Seasons Garden in half a month."
Murong Huaide nodded, and his subordinates continued to write but did not say anything more. Bingsan secretly glanced at his master, but he still couldn't bear it, and asked in a low voice, "Master, do your subordinates want to send a message to the dark line in the palace wall?" If the princess really asks for a will, Madame will hear the news..."
Murong Huaide raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes and swept the new guard leader, but did not respond for a long time. Bingsan only felt the cold coercion coming to his face, and he quickly lowered his head and explained, "Gongzi Rongyu, his subordinates have no intention of offending. It's just that when he came, the brother of the A group warned his subordinates that everything involving his wife was the most important thing, so his subordinates talked a lot..."
Murong Huaide stopped his pen, dried the paper and put it in the envelope, and when he raised his eyes to look out the window, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook. His little daughter-in-law has this powerful ability, and she doesn't see her do much on weekdays, but whether it is a slave or a hired servant in the family, everyone respects her first. Even after his life was revealed, no one ever came forward to curry favor, and everything in the family was still under her control. He never doubted that if she didn't prepare food for him, he, the prince of Zhongshan, would definitely be hungry and growl.
However, the secret guard who had been with him for many years was also "bought" so quickly, which was really a bit unexpected to him...
Bingsan looked at the master, and there was no anger on his face, but there was a faint sense of smugness. He secretly swallowed his saliva suspiciously, thinking in his heart that after the master returned home, his momentum became heavier and heavier, which made him often worried. However, if it was for his wife, he would have been punished and confessed. Not to mention the instructions of the seniors of the A group, let's just say that he also planted fruit before the disaster in his family, which can be regarded as walking with his wife. If the lady is crowned the princess, it will really give the peasant family a long face...
"Send the letter to Bing Er and tell him to forward it to Mr. Feng." Murong Huaide turned around and took the envelope and handed it to Bingsan, and after thinking about it, he still said one more word, "Don't pay attention to the palace over there, there will be no will, just keep an eye on how the princess acts." ”
Bingsan hurriedly took the envelope, opened the door and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he quickly climbed onto the roof and disappeared. Murong Huaide walked to the main courtyard, and saw from a distance that Princess Liu was sitting in the brightly lit hall with her niece, laughing happily, and a touch of coldness slowly appeared on her face.
Do you want to enter the palace? Hmph, she must have forgotten that sentence, the most ruthless emperor's family!
If it weren't for the fact that on the first day he entered the palace, he "recklessly" talked to the imperial uncle that he wanted to take Rong Rong into Beijing, and he would not marry anyone in this life except Rong Rong, I am afraid that he would have become a thorn in the imperial uncle's side by now.
After all, there is only one throne, and the crown prince is frail and sickly, and his "imperial nephew" who suddenly fell from the sky is so healthy and amazing, it is really too threatening. However, an imperial nephew whose temperament follows his own merry father and is fascinated by the peasant girl is much safer...
It's July, the hottest season of the year. The leaves of the trees were wilted and drooped by the sun, and they honestly stuck to the branches to protect the last trace of moisture in their bodies from being taken away. In the whole mountain forest, except for the desperate shouting, all the other panting species seemed to have hid in the unknown shade, but the singing voice of the knowing was particularly loud.
Dong Rong's life went on as usual, and congratulatory gifts from shops all over the country continued to be sent, sometimes two or three a day, sometimes seven or eight a day. At first, she would be amazed by the jewelry inlaid with large gems or large dressing mirrors, and the double-sided hibiscus screen, but then she gradually became numb. After a brief look, she asked Wen Niang to put it in the warehouse, and soon it filled most of the room.
However, Second Sister Cao wakes up every morning and looks at the gate with bright eyes, guessing that there will be something good to send in today. After satisfying her curiosity, she began to work with Zizhu and Wen Niang to toss her sister-in-law to change her hairstyle, pick jewelry, and measure her clothes to make clothes, and she turned her sister-in-law into a rich lady in the blink of an eye.
Dong Rong is pregnant and lazy, and she rarely walks on weekdays, so she is very tired of tossing like this, but it is not easy to refuse everyone's kindness, so she has to endure and be patient. Fortunately, the second sister Cao and the three of them also noticed this and quickly let her go, but her big wardrobe was gradually filled with loose new dresses.
The orchard at the foot of the mountain reopened its doors half a month ago, and business was naturally not as good as before, but there were more than a dozen taels of silver a day. Dong Rong walked in the orchard one day, and occasionally heard a few people composing poems and praising lotus in a vassal, and suddenly realized that there had been no news of Dong Ping for a long time.
Steward Zhang deliberately went to the city to inquire about the academy, but he didn't ask any useful words. Dong Rong was immediately anxious, and wanted to visit Mrs. Yang in person for inquiry, but she was afraid that her current identity would be embarrassing, so it was a bit reckless to enter the house and go to other people's houses as a guest.
In the end, after pondering for a while, she asked Zizhu to send snacks to Yang's house under the pretext of sending snacks. Mrs. Yang Xu values Dong Ping, the future son-in-law, very much, and is also very polite to Zizhu, a slave of the Dong family. She personally met the guests in the small hall, Zizhu cautiously asked why Mr. Yang and his party were late to return, and she did not hide it, only said that Mr. Yang threw Dong Ping and others to the barracks on a whim, and Xu would not come back until the end of the year. The Yang family was about to send someone to send some clothes and supplies, if Dong Rong also wanted to bring some things to Dong Ping, they would quickly pick them up and send them to the academy in two days.
Dong Rong was relieved when she got the exact news, but she was distressed when she thought that her younger brother was going to live in the barracks until Layue. You must know that the military camp in this time and space is not like the high-rise and tree-lined camp in the previous life, to be precise, it is a tent concentration camp, plus the three generations of the Great Qi Dynasty are mediocre and extravagant, and the supply of military funds is insufficient.
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and Dong Rong moved the idea of taking a car to visit her brother. Unfortunately, as soon as she said this, everyone opposed it. Old Man Feng was worried that her bumps on the road would not be good for the fetus, and Steward Zhang was afraid that there would be any dangers on the road, and Zizhu and Wen Niang and the others were purely afraid that she would be tired. Even the second sister Cao shook her little head like a rattle, and even moved out of her own mother to say something, a strong "threat" to her sister-in-law, if the old lady knew it, she would definitely go up the mountain.
(I finally got this chapter out, and I was so trapped that I couldn't wait to fall asleep on the table.) Good night everyone, good dreams! )R638
