Chapter 12
Mrs. Weiyuanhou couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that the two girls came back so soon, and carefully found that the panic on her daughter's face had not yet subsided, and her heart was sudden, but she smiled on her face: "You came back just in time, Mama just took the child to the front yard, and you two sisters are sitting here." ”
When Li Mingyi saw Mrs. Weiyuanhou, she wanted to tell her mother what had just happened, and when she heard that she was going to the front yard to participate in the child's washing, she could only swallow it, and went to the side hall with Ah Bao to sit for a while, and soon Yahuan served refreshments.
After arranging the two girls, Cui Sleeve entered the house, and whispered to the master who was sitting on the bed with his back against the big pillow: "Side concubine, the two girls met the Seventh Princess and the Ronghua County Lord in the Fish Pavilion in the garden just now, and there was a conflict. ”
Li Mingzheng was slightly surprised, and when he asked what happened, his face was a little cold, and he snorted: "It's just a concubine, and she dares to be so arrogant, and she is not afraid of losing her life, I am afraid that she will be spoiled by her mother, Your Highness has more than one daughter!" But the Seven Princesses...... The fifth sister was lucky, and after offending the seventh princess, she had nobles to help. You see, how could this King of Jin get there so coincidentally today? ”
"His Royal Highness King Jin happened to pass by." Cui Sleeve could see clearly that King Jin was indeed passing through the garden at that time, but what surprised her was that King Jin would intervene in this matter.
Li Mingzheng snorted again and said coldly: "My fifth sister is easy to offend people, but she is also a very lucky one, and she has nobles to help her." ”
At this time, a maid came in with the curtain lifted, holding a tray in her hand, and there were two fruit plates on the tray, on which were two plates of red strawberries, with attractive colors, "Concubine Fang, this is the strawberry that the princess just sent her, I heard that it was produced by Zhuangzi, this strawberry is difficult to serve, and there are not many of them, but I didn't expect the princess to be willing to send two plates over, saying that it was for the side concubine and the two girls from the Weiyuan Houfu to taste fresh." ”
Hearing this, Li Mingzheng's heart moved, and after Cui Sleeve took the strawberry and let the maid go down, his face was cold, "I didn't expect that I would be blessed with my fifth sister today, and even the dignified princess came to show her goodwill, I'm afraid Ronghua won't be better in the future." ”
Cui Sleeve was a little happy, and said softly: "Now the Lord of Ronghua County will not be able to trouble you for a long time, isn't it good?" Cui Sleeve doesn't like the county lord of Ronghua very much, because she is the eldest daughter of the prince, and she was named the county lord, so she really thinks that she is the concubine, and often helps Concubine Zhao to secretly stumble other women in the prince's mansion, and even her master is in the aisle, which is even more annoying than Concubine Zhao herself.
Li Mingzheng relaxed his body and leaned on the pillow, and he couldn't say whether it was good or bad, Ah Bao was unlucky and wronged, she felt very good, but being bullied by an outsider made her angry. Of course, this matter is still more happy than annoyed, at least Ronghua's little hooves were annoyed by the crown princess this time, I'm afraid that even Concubine Zhao will not have a good time in the future, although they can't let them break their muscles and bones, but she is also very happy to teach her a lesson.
"Send a plate of strawberries to your two sisters to taste."
"Yes."
******
In the side hall, Li Mingyi was very surprised to see a plate of strawberries sent by Cui Sleeve, but when she heard that it was sent by the crown princess, she was a little entangled.
Li Mingyi ate a strawberry, sat next to Ah Bao, and whispered: "Fifth sister, do you think that the seventh princess will go to the palace to go to the emperor and the concubine to complain, will it implicate us?" The seventh princess is also very stingy, why do you always target the fifth sister? Obviously, the other princesses are very generous. ”
"Complaints are her favorite, and we can't care about it." Ah Bao was still very calm, and Li Mingyi was envious for a while, and soon she knew why Ah Bao was so calm, "You have to get used to this!" As for why she targeted me, it was just that spring, she and Ling Wei fell into the wild boar together, I rescued Ling Wei who was closer to me in time, and then went to save her, causing her to be kicked by the pig in the face with two hoof prints, and she was unsightly for a whole month, and then she was annoyed with me. ”
For this grievance, Ah Bao didn't know at first, and then the sixth princess secretly told Jiang Lingwei, and Jiang Lingwei told her that she knew that Ah Bao felt really wronged when she heard it, the situation was so urgent at that time, she was just a short Lori at the time, and she couldn't see who was who at all, and when she heard the scream closest to her, she went to save it first, but she didn't expect to be annoyed when she saved people a little later. For a long time after that, as long as the seventh princess met her, she liked to target her, and Ah Bao got used to it over time, everyone just thought that the seventh princess didn't like Ah Bao, and they didn't know that Ah Bao had secretly avoided the stumbling blocks of the seventh princess many times. Fortunately, the seventh princess is a princess, and they don't see each other much, so it's no big deal, but today is a mistake.
Hearing Bao's explanation, Li Mingyi's face twitched, and she found that she couldn't squeeze out a smile at all, she was still young in that incident, so she didn't go out with a few sisters, and she didn't know what the situation was like at that time. However, imagining that the seventh princess had two more pig's trotter prints on her face, she hid for half a month and didn't dare to see anyone, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Don't laugh, eat strawberries!" Po said with a righteous face.
Li Mingyi lowered her head, knowing that she was in someone else's house at this time, it was not appropriate to lose her posture and put on a serious appearance.
Soon after, Mrs. Weiyuanhou and the grandmother holding the newborn baby returned, and Mrs. Weiyuanhou chatted with her daughter a few more words before leaving.
When leaving, the crown princess sent her henchman and grandmother over to see her off, and her attitude was kind and kind, which made the two girls a little flattered, and Mrs. Weiyuan Hou also thanked her politely.
Unexpectedly, when he was at the door, he happened to meet King Jin who also said goodbye and left.
All of them breathed a little lighter and greeted each other.
King Jin's footsteps paused slightly, his eyes with anger swept over everyone, his gaze stopped on a half-hanging head for a few seconds, and he responded lightly, leaving with his entourage.
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw her daughter's expression of escape, and after waiting for the carriage, she looked at the two girls and said, "Yi girl, have you done something bad?" ”
Li Mingyi was still apprehensive, tired of being in the arms of Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, as if she felt more secure, and said, "Mother, how can I do anything bad?" We are all innocent! ”
With a smile on his face, Ah Bao looked at Li Mingyi, who was easily cheated out, and felt a little funny in his heart, and he didn't need Mrs. Weiyuan Hou to ask, so he took the initiative to tell her what happened in the garden of the Prince's Mansion before, and Li Mingyi added by the way, but the content she added had her own prejudices, and the evil deeds of the Seventh Princess and the Lord of Ronghua were magnified several times.
"Mother, the fifth sister didn't disrespect the seventh princess, really, I dare to promise!" Li Mingyi swore with a serious face, and then said worriedly: "But the mouth grows on them, if they want to go to the crown prince and the emperor's concubine to fight a target, will the fifth sister be fine?" ”
Mrs. Weiyuanhou patted her daughter's hand, looked at Ah Bao with concern, and saw that she was not frightened and still smiled, relieved her heart, and comforted: "Don't worry, neither the prince nor the emperor are biased people, and at that time, the king of Jin came forward, and the princess mediated again, they were not reasonable, and the emperor would not convict casually." ”
Ah Bao and Li Mingyi are a little unconvinced, they are very aware of the urine nature of the seventh princess, and they can't stand the grievances, and they will definitely make trouble, but Ah Bao is really not afraid.
However, until two days later, I didn't hear any news from the palace and the prince's mansion, but when Li Mingzheng's grandmother went back to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to visit her sisters, she went to meet Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis and told her some inside information.
"I heard the little Gaozi father-in-law who was serving beside the prince say that the prince went to the courtyard of Concubine Zhao on the night of the third day of the brother's washing, but he did not stay overnight and left quickly, and he did not see the lord of Ronghua to greet the princess for the past two days, and it is said that he is sick. But secretly he said that he was grounded. "Mama is the grandmother of Li Mingzheng, and takes care of Li Mingzheng as a daughter, and at this time, seeing that Concubine Zhao is unlucky, the smile on her face can't be suppressed, "Madam, our sister Zheng has finally come out, not only gave birth to a brother, but the lord of Ronghua County has also lost face this time, I am afraid that Concubine Zhao will not be arrogant for a long time." ”
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou stroked the son in her hand and smiled faintly, she knew that the lord of Ronghua County was grounded this time, I am afraid that there is also the credit of the crown princess, although the princess is a dignified and atmospheric person, but if it is related to the interests of the only son and the prince's mansion, she will not hesitate to take action. The lord of Ronghua is stupid because he can't recognize his identity, thinking that the weight of his eldest daughter is enough to be proud of the others, and even the daughter of a meritorious hero dares to offend, but he can't see that the emperor is now reusing Li Jiyao, and the prince naturally has to pay attention to it.
"Mama, just look at these things, don't chew the root of your tongue indiscriminately, save yourself from causing trouble for the Zheng girl, and take good care of your brother in the future." Mrs. Wei Yuanhou reminded.
Mama had a smile on her face, "This old slave can naturally save it." ”
After Mama left, Li Mingyi, who was hiding behind the screen, ran out with a smile, her eyes shining, "Mother is really like a god." ”
Mrs. Weiyuanhou patted her ass and reprimanded: "The girl who is about to discuss marriage, she is still so naughty, and she is not allowed to hide and eavesdrop in the future." ”
Li Mingyi smiled flatteringly, and whispered: "Fifth sister must be also worried about this, I'll tell her, don't worry, I'll only tell her alone, I won't talk much!" ”
Mrs. Weiyuan Hou said helplessly: "Well, let's go." ”
*
Ah Bao was not very surprised when he heard the news brought by Li Mingyi, but he also showed a happy expression, and when he saw that the little girl was still happily nagging about the lord of Ronghua and the seventh princess, he said: "Tomorrow is the flower viewing banquet of the eldest princess of Changping, why don't you go back and prepare for it?" ”
Li Mingyi's face turned red, and she said a little mischievously: "You too, I heard my grandmother say that I might give your husband at tomorrow's flower banquet, so I don't know which of those sons who will appear tomorrow will be our fifth brother-in-law." ”
Po pushed her directly onto the kang, and the two made a mess.
