Since Zheng Liang ran away, Zheng Mansion was closely monitored by the security team, and everyone who wanted to go out of Zheng Mansion was followed, and at the same time it was strictly forbidden to step out of Changzhou City, and the days in the house were in a panic, Zheng Liang's mother Xingfang washed her face with tears every day, and kept sending crow letters to Zheng Mingyuan to ask him to come back and find Zheng Liang. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info didn't receive a reply until yesterday saying that Zheng Liang had arrived at Zheng Guoqing and was about to come back with Zheng Guoqing. Zheng Guoqing wrote in the war report to the emperor: I have no way to teach, I don't want Zheng Liang to give birth to such an absurd and outrageous thing, National Day guilt, please forgive my grandson, let all the crimes be borne by the minister, for the loss of Lord Ling Brahma, the minister is willing to double the compensation. Ling Tianxia was very excited about the occupation of Nanchang, so he naturally did a personal favor and summoned Ling Fantian to order Zheng Liang to be exempted from the death penalty, and only hit fifty boards, and at the same time, the Zheng family compensated Ling Brahma 40,000 taels of gold as compensation. Although Ling Brahma was unhappy, he didn't dare to disobey, and the case was closed.

Xiaoyan is still in the Zheng Mansion and continues to be her wife and maid.

"Xiaoyan, don't be busy cleaning first, go and count how many lanterns and colored cloths there are, and the door paper is red stickers, and then report to the young grandmother to purchase new ones for a unified purchase." An Ping said to Xiaoyan.

"Is this going to be a happy event?" Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"It's indeed a happy event, the concubine in the palace is going to come back to save her relatives the day after tomorrow, this is a big deal, and I don't notify in advance, this time it's busy, not to mention first, I have to prepare the best tea snacks, spice petals, these things, Mrs. is very happy now." Come back and help me when you're done. Anping smiled and left. Xiaoyan was also happy and relaxed, and immediately called Xiaowen to count together. The two of them had already seen that the Zheng Mansion was busy inside and outside, and the family members and maids were all moving, some were cleaning the road flower beds, some were cleaning the walls, doors and windows, some were wiping tables, chairs and benches, some were carrying porcelain bottles and plates, and the young grandmother Long Xiangning was inspecting the progress of the work everywhere, yelling at the subordinates from time to time.

The two of them finished counting everything in the old man's yard, went to Anping to sign and open the bill, and went over to hand over the list to Long Xiangning's eldest maid Hexiang, who was full of various lists in various courtyards in front of Hexiang, and the two maids were busy classifying. Xiaoyan and Xiaowen handed in the list, and went back to help Anping, and on the way heard some old women's impressions of Concubine Shu when she was a child.

"Concubine Shu, she was beautiful when she was a child, and the meat was delicate and delicate."

"But no, I remember one time, the second young master was playing with her in the lady's courtyard, and accidentally broke the skin of his hand, ouch, it really hurts to watch."

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid I'm going to leave a scar later, or did the master find the elven clan's divine ointment to remove it."

As soon as Xiaoyan heard this, she hurriedly ran over and asked, "What kind of ointment do you say is from the elf clan?" Scar-free. ”

The two mothers-in-law were startled, and when they saw that it was Xiaoyan, they patted their chests: "I'm scared to death, who do you think it is, Xiaoyan Xiaowen, you don't have to work?" ”

"Oh, I'll get back to my question first." Xiaoyan smiled and took the woman's hand and said coquettishly. The woman smiled and said, "It's a divine ointment, just a small wooden box, green." ”

"Is there still any?" Xiaoyan asked.

"Where will there be, just a little bit, at that time, Concubine Shu used more than half of it, and then I don't know."

"It's used up, and the little master was beaten on the board at that time, and I saw that Mrs. Xingfang brought the ointment that was used."

I'll go, bastard. Xiaoyan scolded in her heart. She sighed, didn't say hello, and went back disappointed, Xiaowen smiled at the two mothers-in-law, and followed Xiaoyan.

Two days later, sure enough, Concubine Shu came, the gate of Zheng's mansion opened, the mansion was clean and tidy, there were lights everywhere, people lined up neatly, and Ling Yuteng took all the family members out to greet them. In front is a team of gold-armored royal guards, in the middle of a luxurious wide carriage, carved with dragons and phoenixes, followed by two smaller carriages, and at the end there is a team of gold-armored guards. The carriage in the middle happened to stop at the gate, and Ling Yuteng led the people of the Zheng Mansion to shout, "Concubine Niangniang is auspicious!" "Since Ling Yuteng is the emperor's cousin, there is no need to kneel. The curtain on the carriage was raised, and four white-clothed maids came out, lined up on both sides, and another personal maid in a red dress came out, reaching into the curtain to support, and two eunuchs had already come down from the back carriage and carried down the horse ladder to put it in place. The concubine wore the crown of the night pearl, wore a phoenix colorful costume, and bent over to raise her head with the hand of the personal maid, her face was flushed, her phoenix eyebrows and apricot eyes, and she made up light makeup, looking dignified and generous, virtuous and virtuous. Concubine Shu helped the maid's hand get out of the carriage, nodded to everyone with a smile, and walked into the Zheng Mansion. Ling Yuteng and the others followed in.

After entering the Zheng Mansion, that is, at home, Concubine Shu hurriedly went to the Provincial Palace to change her clothes, and returned to the Moon Exploration Tower, Concubine Shu saluted Ling Yuteng: "Qingshu has seen her mother." Ling Yuteng hurriedly returned the salute.

"Qingguo visits his mother." Zheng Qingguo took off his helmet.

"Ouch, I didn't know it was you while wearing a helmet, hehe." Ling Yuteng smiled happily. At the moment, Long Xiangning, Zheng Yixin, Zheng Mingyan and others all saluted Concubine Shu one by one. Xiaoyan and the other maids brought melons and fruits and snacks, lit fragrant sandalwood, and the housekeepers brought large pieces of ice and fanned them lightly into the hall.

"It's rare for you to come back once and stay a few days longer?" Ling Yuteng loves this little girl the most.

"This is the time Your Majesty has been happy recently that I have to come back for two days, and I am afraid that I can't do it anymore." Concubine Shu sighed.

"Why didn't Princess Chang'an come back together?" Ling Yuteng wanted to see his granddaughter.

"Hehe, I had a lot of fun with a few brothers, but I didn't want to come out." Concubine Shu smiled.

"Mother wants to see it, I'll bring it out for you next time." Qingguo said with a smile.

"Oh, don't talk big, how can the princess be brought out by what you say." Ling Yuteng scolded with a smile.

"The second brother can often go out of the palace, and I will ask him to buy some things for Chang'an, Chang'an likes to talk to him." Concubine Shu smiled.

"That's, after all, it's my own uncle." Qingguo said with a smile. Ling Yuteng and the three of them spoke, and Long Xiangning could interject two sentences from time to time. Then when it came to Zheng Liang's matter, Concubine Shu asked, "What about Zheng Liang's mother, Xingfang?" ”

"Say what that person does, it's not her turn to come out at this time." Ling Yuteng was a little uncomfortable when he talked about this person.

"It's okay mother, I'll teach her a lesson." Concubine Shu whispered to Ling Yuteng. Saying that, people called Xingfang, and Xingfang lowered his head all the way and didn't dare to look directly.

"The folk girl Xingfang pays a visit to the lady concubine." Koyoshi knelt on the ground.

"Xingfang, you also know how much trouble Zheng Liang made this time, and regardless of His Majesty's grace and abonement of the death penalty, is it wrong for you to be a mother?"

"The people's women are at fault, and the people's women are at fault." Xingfang was too frightened to move.

"The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, and our Zheng family's family rules are half a fine. If Zheng Liang wants to play forty boards, you have to play twenty boards, do you accept the punishment? "Concubine Shu made up a family rule. Ling Yuteng glared at Concubine Shu, who covered her mouth and smiled.

"This ......" Xingfang hesitated for a moment, saw Qing Guo's sharp eyes, and hurriedly said: "Willing and willing, the people are guilty." Then he was dragged out by two royal guards and beaten a few times, and Xingfang screamed and cried in pain. Ling Yuteng's heart softened, and said, "Okay, okay, it's almost enough, it's not happy to break your father." ”

"Mother, don't be so soft-hearted, people like her cause trouble to the family, and don't know how to repent if she doesn't suffer a little." Qingguo said. Concubine Shu smiled and nodded. Ling Yuteng sighed.

"Ahh After a few more beatings, Xingfang screamed even worse, and Xiaoyan didn't have a good impression of Zheng Liang's mother, so she wanted to laugh.

"Qingshu, let's stop, enough is enough." Ling Yuteng still couldn't hear this scream. Concubine Shu saw that it was almost over, so she asked the guards to stop, and the two guards came in with Xingfang, who was already unable to walk, hanging softly with her hands and feet, and even her breath trembled. Concubine Shu said: "Nian is in my mother's help you speak, so spare the board you owe, discipline your son well in the future, don't be so messy, you must also listen to my mother's teachings, and serve our family well." ”

Xingfang opened her mouth with difficulty: "The folk girl understands..., Xie... Lady Niangniang is gracious, thank you... Madame gracious. Concubine Shu waved her hand to let her out, and the two Xingfang's maids hurriedly came over and carried her out. Concubine Shu talked to Long Xiangning and Zheng Mingyan about the situation in the house, and made some guidance and suggestions one by one, everyone nodded and agreed, Xiaoyan had a good impression of this concubine.

In the afternoon, Concubine Shu and Ling Yuteng went to the garden to play around, Concubine Shu always smiled and pointed here and there, talking about the joy of childhood, everyone smiled happily, and it could be seen that Concubine Shu missed the days before entering the palace. Qing Guo looked at his sister's smile all the way, and when Concubine Shu talked about playing together, she also imitated the scene at that time, which made Ling Yuteng and Concubine Shu laugh.

In the evening, Concubine Shu and her mother Ling Yuteng chatted alone in the room until late at night, and made an appointment to go to the Guanyin Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow and returned to the palace.

In the concubine's room, the personal maid Qin'er was making the bed, all of which were brought out of the palace.

"Qin'er, did you forget to take my comb?" Concubine Shu said.

"Ahh Didn't you? I took it on purpose... Slaves deserve to die. Qin'er quickly knelt down.

"Hehe, it's okay, I remember that my mother had the same handful, which was originally a pair." Concubine Shu smiled.

"Qin'er, go get it." As he spoke, he quickly exited the room and saluted Qingguo at the door.

Qin'er walked out of the yard quickly, but she was not in a hurry, and slowly walked to the lady's courtyard, and happened to meet Xiaoyan and Xiaowen, who had just cleaned up the house, and said, "I'm sorry, can the two sisters help me borrow a sandalwood comb from Mrs. As soon as Xiaoyan heard that it was quite important, she went back again, Mrs. was already asleep, Anping was still shaking the fan and fanning Mrs., Xiaoyan waved to Anping, Anping went out of the door, Xiaoyan whispered, Anping immediately went back to the room and took out a sandalwood comb and asked Xiaoyan to take it. Xiaoyan saw that the handle of this comb was a hollow phoenix pattern, and the teeth of the comb were black and smooth, which was obviously commonly used. Xiaoyan took the comb out of the courtyard gate and handed it to Qin'er, who was a little surprised, but also smiled and thanked her, walked back slowly, and walked a while and turned to the front yard. Xiaoyan felt a little strange, it was so late, Concubine Shu wanted to comb and remove her makeup to rest, why didn't she go back quickly? What else to do in the front yard? Xiaoyan decided to take a look, she slowly followed the front yard, and saw Qin'er walking to the gazebo in front of the building and sitting, playing with the comb in her hand. There are still some maids in the Zheng Mansion who are busy in the middle of the night, and it is not surprising to walk on the road at this time. Xiaoyan pretended to be cleaning the road in the distance, keeping an eye on Qin'er. After about half an hour, the temperature became a little cooler, and Xiaoyan had already swept back and forth three times, and she felt more and more that there was a problem.

Qin'er stretched, finally stood up, and began to walk again, this time she came out from the other side, and had to return to the palace, which was equivalent to going around in a circle. Xiaoyan saw Qin'er enter the courtyard, and didn't see any patrolling guards passing by, so she quickly slipped into the courtyard, leaned against the wall, and hid behind the rockery to look. Qin'er walked to the door, the lights in the room were dimmed, she didn't go in, walked back and forth a few steps, looked at the comb in her hand, and suddenly sighed heavily, startling Xiaoyan. I saw Qin'er suddenly smile and comb her head into the side room. Xiaoyan didn't know why, but the courtyard was empty, only the flames of a few lanterns swayed with the wind. Xiaoyan sighed lightly: This qin'er, borrowing a comb has been lazy for so long, how could Concubine Shu let her serve, thinking about it, she was about to quit. Suddenly, "Squeak! "There was a sound of the door opening, and it was very clear in the middle of the night. Xiaoyan hurriedly lowered her body and looked in the direction of the voice, it was Concubine Shu's room! The door opened a little, as if he felt that the sound was too abrupt, and then slowly turned open, this time there was no sound, and a woman could be seen in the shadow of the door letting go of the hands holding the tall figure in front of her, and the tall figure turned sideways to give the woman a kiss on the forehead, and withdrew from the door with her back back, and slowly closed the door. Xiaoyan was inexplicably tense all over, and she covered her mouth with her hand. As soon as the figure turned around, it was him! Xiaoyan's eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn't help but scream in her mouth, but fortunately she covered her mouth in advance, but there was still a sound leaking out of her fingers!

"Who's there!!"
