Chapter 54

Qi You was satisfied and hugged Xibao into sleep, and in the second half of the night, Princess Liu hurried back from Prime Minister Liu's mansion, she was exhausted when she returned to the house, her father's sudden illness was not like a light one, she received the news that her father suddenly fell ill as soon as he returned to the house after the next court, Princess Liu's instinctive feeling should be related to the affairs of the court, she was not only to care about her father's body but also to confirm what happened.

It's just that Prime Minister Liu Cheng is really sick, and he waited for a long time until the emperor went to see Prime Minister Liu's doctor, and the imperial doctor withdrew, so that Princess Liu could talk to him outside the cabinet through the curtain, and Prime Minister Liu said that he would be tired after a while, and just told Princess Liu to keep a low profile these days, Princess Liu didn't figure out what was going on, so she could only tell the whole palace to be careful and wait, and then returned to the palace, she was going to hand over the sign to the palace tomorrow to ask.

Who knew that as soon as she returned to the house, a maid replied that the prince and the fifth master had come back, and they had made a big fire at the people in the big kitchen, and now those people were still kneeling in the courtyard outside the kitchen for four hours. Liu herself was worried about her father's affairs, this time, the maid said that the kitchen person had provoked Qi You, and she was even more angry, what was the matter, she had only been absent for a few hours before this happened, she really didn't have the energy to ask and said: "Since it is to make the prince unhappy, let them kneel, and then deduct their monthly money for half a year." ”

The maid on the side said, "Niangniang, is this..."

The princess rolled her eyes and said sharply: "Why do you think this palace is too strict, hmph, I think it's because this palace is too merciful to indulge these people so much, even if you don't fight for the palace's face, you still dare to pull the palace's hind legs, can you rest assured that you can hand over the kitchen to them, punish them for half a year and every month, and if they commit another offense, they will be beaten out of the palace." ”

The maid immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, the slave and maid obey." ”

Princess Liu looked at the maids in the courtyard and said, "These few Japanese palaces don't have such good patience, you'd better not make trouble for me, otherwise they will be killed together, hum!" ”

The maids in the courtyard were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground: "Yes, slaves and maids remember. ”

Liu felt so tired, her father's distrust, the prince's blame really made her breathless, she felt that it was not a happy thing to become Princess Yong for the first time, I don't know why she felt more and more that her father was not easy to communicate, and always felt that he was hiding it or not trusting himself too much, did he really have any ideas, it was too terrible, what should she do if she was opposed, on the one hand, her father who had raised herself for so many years, and on the other hand, her husband who loved her deeply and shared honor and disgrace, What if that happens?

Liu kept thinking about it until Mama came in and called her to get up, Liu didn't rest well, and the dark shadows under his eyes frightened the maids who came in to serve, they had never seen the princess so haggard, everyone was silently serving, and no one dared to say a word.

Because she was in a hurry to enter the palace, the Liu family simply had some breakfast and was ready to enter the palace, but fortunately, she also remembered the prince and Qi Zhe, and she asked while cleaning up: "Are the prince and the fifth master gone?" ”

The maid on the side replied: "Niangniang, the prince and the fifth master don't have to go to the court today." ”

"Where is the prince's breakfast?" The princess added some powder and said.

"It's in Concubine Zhao's, and the fifth master is eating in his own courtyard." The maid replied.

"Did you rest at Zhao's place last night? It seems that this Zhao family is blessed, and if he doesn't fight or grab, he can make the prince worry about it. The princess smiled coldly.

The grandmother on the side said: "Don't worry, master, last night the prince and the fifth master didn't have a place to eat before they went to Zhao's place, and the prince rested there by the way after eating. ”

"Okay, Mama, you don't have to comfort me, this palace understands very well in my heart, they don't matter." Murong is that person, the princess didn't say it in the second half of the sentence.

"Since this is the case, the palace has nothing to worry about, I have to enter the palace today, let's leave early." Princess Liu was more concerned about her father's affairs at this time・・・・・・・

In the palace, the queen just finished breakfast and heard the grandmother waiting next to her say that Princess Yong asked to see her, and the queen frowned and sighed: "This Xuehui is a filial piety, eighty percent is here for his father, grandma, you go and invite her in." "Some things still have to be made clear, the emperor is not doing this to see You'er's face, her niece is in a similar situation to her, sandwiched between her mother's family and her husband's family, hey, she is also destined to be a heartbroken person.

Princess Liu (Yong) was announced into the inner hall and knelt down after seeing the queen, the queen let her get up and sit beside her, and then only the rest of Mama Qi were left out, she looked at the haggard Princess Liu (Yong) and knew that this child must be very bitter in her heart. She opened her mouth first and asked, "How are you doing these days?" ”

Princess Liu said: "The prince has been doing well these days, and after the five princes came, the two brothers have been getting along better." ”

The queen smiled: "Zhe'er, that child is close to your family King Yong, this mansion is not good, I have to live in your house first, I had a long time in the palace and the emperor a few days ago, this child didn't cause you trouble." ”

"The five princes are all good, they follow the prince to the yamen every day to report, and they will come back very late at night, and they are very diligent." The princess also said polite words, to be honest, the fifth prince really didn't add any chaos to the mansion.

The queen continued to ask very kindly: "Then the children are all good, Brother Wei is going to school." ”

Princess Liu smiled and said: "There is already an enlightenment master, and the teacher will be invited at the beginning of spring, and the prince has not yet been finalized." ”

"It's even busier if you go to school, you have to take good care of him, after all, the child is still young." The queen said distressedly.

"The concubine knows." The princess said.

After hesitating for a long time, the princess said: "Everyone else is fine, but my father suddenly fell ill, and the concubine couldn't go in last night to see it, but she just talked through the curtain, and the concubine was worried that it was too sick." ”

The queen still smiled and said: "Your father is not young himself, he has been working under high load for many years, and the pressure is great, and it is a matter of time before he gets sick, but I didn't expect to be so sick this time." ”

The princess said anxiously: "My father has always had good bones, even if he is old, he will not fall suddenly, and the concubine heard that it is related to the affairs of the court..."

"Princess Yong, don't speculate about the affairs of the court, this palace will never interfere in the affairs of the court and don't want to talk about it, you'd better not mention it." The queen reminded sharply, even the queen didn't dare to mention the affairs of the court lightly, how could you, a princess, be so bold.

Princess Liu immediately knelt down and said: "Don't blame the queen, it was the concubine who said the wrong thing in a hurry, and please don't blame the mother." ”

The queen said: "This palace is not to blame you, but to remind you to pay attention to your identity, even if you care about it, you can't exceed the rules of the ancestors, you get up." ”

Princess Liu Xie En got up from the ground and said with red eyes: "The concubine knows that the mother cares about the concubine, but the appearance of the father is really sad. ”

The queen looked at the princess who was holding back her tears and sighed: "Xuehui, my aunt knows that you are worried about your father, and my aunt is also worried, but in the royal family, you have to figure out your identity, you are first the wife of King Yong, the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and then the daughter of Prime Minister Liu Cheng, do you understand?" ”

Princess Liu was puzzled and difficult to say when she heard the queen say this: "Don't you care, just because the concubine is Princess Yong?" ”

The queen took Princess Liu's hand and said earnestly: "Women have been like this since ancient times, not to mention the heavenly family, the identity of the mother's family is important, but after marriage, it is not the mother's family but the husband's family that is closely related to you, a woman must not only manage her family well, but also weigh and balance the relationship between her husband's family and her mother's family. "You're still young, you've experienced too little, and the way your father is now isn't necessarily a bad thing, understand?"

Princess Liu also understood a lot in her heart when she heard the queen so enlightened, yes, she was still too young or always thought that she was the eldest lady of Liu Mansion, so thinking about Liu Mansion ignored the most important identity now - Princess Yong, yes, she really has to think about it and can't go on like this, maybe my aunt is right, my father's current illness is not a bad thing, thinking of this, Princess Liu wiped her tears and said: "My niece understands, it's my niece who is confused for a while." ”

The queen smiled and said, "It's good to understand, the most important thing for you now is You'er, understand?"

Princess Liu also smiled with relief: "Xie Niangniang's teaching, the concubine did ignore the prince during this time, and the concubine will change it when she goes back." ”

"That's good, you have to catch his heart first, and the rest will be solved, kid." The queen patted Princess Liu's hand and said.

"The concubine understands that it's really embarrassing to disturb my aunt for so long today, and it's not too early, so the concubine will retire first." After thinking about the problem clearly, Princess Liu didn't bother the queen, and the queen didn't keep it, just know that she figured it out.

Princess Liu, who came back from the palace, actually cooked a few home-cooked dishes in person, and asked the little maid at home to send Qi You and Qi Zhe in the military department as lunch, Qi You received a report from the guards that it was strange that someone came to the palace, and after receiving the meal, I realized that it was the princess who made lunch and sent it over, Qi You thought: This Liu went to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and saw the queen mother this morning What did she say, why has it changed so much today.

Qi Zhe on the side said with envy: "Second brother, it's true, it's only been a few days, and the princess and sister-in-law sent food to the yamen for fear that you won't be able to eat well." ”

Qi You kicked Qi Zhe and said with a smile: "What nonsense, just send it for you to eat." But I was still a little puzzled.

Qi Zhe smiled and ate the meal and commented: "Brother, my sister-in-law is not bad, but her cooking skills are much worse than yesterday's sister-in-law." ”

Qi You said: "Just your mouth, some are good to eat." "He also ate it, although this dish is rich, but it does taste average, but since it is a piece of the princess's heart, forget it.

After Qi Zhe was full, he drank tea and said, "Second brother, it would be great if lunch could be sent to the house every day, and the food at home is still fragrant." ”

Qi You glanced at him and said, "Didn't you just think that this dish didn't taste very good?" ”

Qi Zhe said with a smile: "The taste is not as good as that of the little sister-in-law, but it is the taste of home, of course, it would be better if the little sister-in-law could also send something to eat." "I still have some saliva when I think of yesterday's hot pot.

I don't know why Qi You listened to Qi Zhe's words and felt a little reluctant in his heart, that delicate girl would suffer a lot if she cooked every day, hehe, she had to cry to herself every day.

Qi You looked at Qi Zhe with a smile and said: "Go and go, it's good to give you food, and pick and choose, when your mansion comes down, quickly move over and become a pro Naturally, someone will give you a recipe." ”

Qi Zhe said shamefully: "Second brother, it's nothing to move to a new mansion, anyway, I can go to your house at any time to eat, this marriage is still free, if you don't meet your favorite marry, it's torture, why bother?" ”

Qi You looked at Qi Zhe and said with a smile: "You are still young, but I support your idea, it would be more comfortable if you could find someone you like to live with." ”

Qi Zhe nodded and said, "Second brother, what about you, are there so many women in your house who make you happy?" ”
