Chapter 41: Tempting Shen Rong
When she arrived in the mansion, Hongju beside Shen Rong had already inquired about the ins and outs of Ziyan, and reported to Shen Rong in 1510. "It's the Oiran that the prince brought back from Huamanlou in the capital a few years ago. For her sake, the prince and the old prince quarreled less. He didn't live in the house, and the prince was looking for another place to settle outside. The prince didn't visit her very often, but he stayed with her for a few days of the month. The old prince and the princess both turned a blind eye. Master, you just don't have her as a person, anyway, she's not in front of you, and she will be clean! Knowing that Shen Rong was sad, Hongju couldn't help but comfort her in the end. Shen Rong nodded and said, "Since I'm not in the mansion, I don't have to worry too much." I didn't plan to find a single-minded person. Go and ask how the Purple Smoke Girl's usual expenses are provided, and everything is as usual. "Hongju took the order. Green lines were on the side, and his face couldn't help but show a little unconvinced: "Master, it's too easy for you to talk like this, right?" It's not like your style! Shen Rong nodded at her head and said, "Even the old prince and the princess can't move, what do you think I can do with her?" Now that I'm not on my feet, I should keep a low profile! Besides, one of the seven is jealousy. Isn't that purple smoke coming over so blatantly today to make me angry? If I did something, wouldn't it be as she wanted? Green Stripe nodded, showing a suddenly realized expression: "Miss, you have changed!" I get it! ”
Prince Gong slowly drank the tea in her hand and asked the grandmother beside her, "The little princess really ordered to maintain the supply of the purple smoke girl?" No deduction at all? The grandmother said, "Indeed! The slave and maid heard it with their own ears. Princess Gong nodded, put the teacup on the table, and said, "It's a calm one!" That's fine, I can save a lot of worry! The grandmother smiled and said, "It's all your blessing!" The little princess is so sensible and sensible, it's really rare! Prince Gong nodded and asked, "By the way, I have been busy with the little prince's trip to the northwest, has the Gao family's return ceremony been prepared?" The grandmother replied: "It's all ready, and I invite the princess to take a look!" Princess Gong nodded and said, "Take the gift list to the little princess and ask if there is anything to add." In addition, call me all the original goblins in the Tianci house, I have something to say! "The lady took the order.
Looking at the return gift list personally sent by Mama Zhou, who was next to Prince Gong, Shen Rong was a little surprised. But it's more about gratitude. The mother-in-law was able to do this, which really gave herself face. She glanced at it, then smiled at Mama Zhou: "Everything is very well prepared!" There's Mama Lao! As he spoke, the green stripe had already come up, and he handed Mama Zhou a purse: "Mama has time to come over and drink tea!" Mama Zhou subconsciously shook it, a little heavy, and the smile on her face deepened at the moment: "Thank you, little princess!" The slave maid still has to go to the princess to reply, so she won't stay much! He walked out.
For a while, Hongju came in from outside: "Master, Mama Zhou called away the big girls in my uncle's room." Shen Rong nodded and said, "But what the princess ordered?" Hongju said: "It should be!" Shen Rong shook her head and sighed. Green Lines is the closest to Shen Rong, knowing her thoughts, he said softly: "Master, since the prince married you, he has never been close to anyone. Those girls are all old people from the past, so don't take it to heart. Shen Rong's expression was a little gloomy: "I finally understand my wife's state of mind now." My father doted on my mother and me so much, and my wife didn't say anything. And it is indeed not easy to be able to treat me and Shen Fang like this. Greenvein nodded: "Mrs. is indeed very good." My aunt did go a little too far before. But now Miss, you're doing well here, and you're fighting for your aunt's face. I just don't know how the family is now, the second lady will get married in two months! My wife must be very busy! A touch of nostalgia also appeared on Shen Rong's face, it has been more than a month since she got married, and she has not received a letter from her family. Thinking of the family letter, she said to Hongju: "You go and talk to Mama Zhou later, and say that I will bring a letter back home." "Red Ju commanded. Although she and King Rui became relatives, they did not live in the house before King Rui, but the house that was repaired later. King Rui gave him the name of Liuxiang Pavilion, although Shen Rong was too cheesy, he didn't change it. The people serving in the Liuxiang Pavilion were basically brought by Shen Rong from her mother's family, and the others were also newly arranged by the princess. The people who were close to King Rui before stayed in the original house, and that room was also the name of King Rui's self-proclaimed Yicui Pavilion. The people of Yicui Pavilion are not allowed to enter the Liuxiang Pavilion for a step, which is the death order of Prince Gong and Princess Gong before King Rui became married. This order cut off the thoughts of how many beautiful girls were in place at once. However, when King Rui married Shen Rong, he also seemed to feel that his wish was sufficient, and he had never set foot in Yicui Pavilion for half a step.
Now kneeling in front of Prince Gong and Princess Gong are all girls from Yicui Pavilion. "Which one is pink and which one is willow green? Stand aside by yourself! Mama Zhou commanded in a deep voice. The two shallot-like girls stood up and shivered to the side. The princess took a closer look, but saw that although the appearance of the two girls was not very brilliant, her delicate and lovely temperament could attract people's attention at a glance. "These two are God's favorites?" The princess asked idly. Hearing this, the two girls hurriedly knelt down: "The slaves and maids are just rough maids cleaning in the little prince's house, and they can't talk about pleasing the prince!" Please princess Mingjian, although the little prince often plays with our sisters, he really doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. The princess raised her eyes, and saw that the two girls looked calm when they spoke, but there was no panic before. So he nodded to Mama Zhou: "Take it out and check it!" Mama Zhou nodded. The two girls were led down. A quarter of an hour later, Mama Zhou whispered in the princess's ear. The princess's face showed a look of doubt: "It's all complete?" Oh, then let them go to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion on an errand! "Mama Zhou took the order. The other girls stood there, puzzled expressions on their faces. The princess looked at them and asked, "Which of you is in charge?" A girl named Cuiping stepped forward. At a glance, the princess found that compared to peach and willow green, Cuiping was much stronger than them. Not to mention the outstanding appearance, standing there, the demeanor is also very dignified. There was three points of satisfaction in his heart, and he said: "The little prince is not at home at the moment, and you will be responsible for taking care of this Yicui Pavilion." All personnel are arranged by you. In addition, there is something you can tell Mama Zhou. Let her tell me! However, it's still the same old saying, none of you girls who rely on the Cui Pavilion are allowed to go to the Liuxiang Pavilion! Cui Ping nodded when he heard this. Although she had many doubts in her heart, her face did not show them.
"Little princess, these two people were Lord Rui's favorite girls before. The princess was afraid that they would be left out in the cold, so she specially ordered them to come and serve you! There was a sound in what Mama Zhou said. Shen Rong didn't seem to care, just said, "Okay." Thank you, Princess! Mama Zhou said goodbye and left. Left behind two dressed girls with flowers. Shen Rong beckoned the two girls to come to her, but the two girls couldn't even salute, so they stood aside. Green lines, red chrysanthemums can't help but be on fire in their hearts. The heart said that you used to be the top of King Rui's heart, but now you are in front of Princess Rui, and King Rui is not at home. How dare you come out with such an attitude. However, Shen Rong is still not in a hurry or annoyed. Carefully ask the two girls what they will do, what they like to do, how long they have been with King Rui, and what King Rui likes the most. The two girls were inexplicably asked by her. But I dare not leave the question unanswered. There is a sentence, and the answer is one. After Shen Rong listened to them answer the last question, she said to the two of them lightly: "Now I don't lack anything else here, so I am missing two people." You can sweep the yard for me in the future. It doesn't take much, twice a day. The two girls listened attentively. When Mama Zhou came, she told them that if they could take Qiao, they would try to take Qiao. But the little princess had to do everything she told. Now they haven't picked it up yet, and they have been arranged by the little princess to send an errand. There is something to make trouble, and there seems to be something wrong. Then I listened to Shen Rong tell the girls around her: "These two sisters are the prince's favorite, you have to respect them, don't slack off." If I hear someone bullying them, I won't do it! Although those girls were strange in their hearts, no one dared to refuse them on their faces. In addition, Shen Rong instructed Green Stripe again, and these two girls took the moon silver of the big girl in her house. For a while, those two girls became a special case in the palace. Do the lowest work, take the highest money. People who know about it are talking about it. There are jokes that Shen Rong can't do things, and there are also jealous of their luck. After Prince Gong knew about this, she smiled at Mama Zhou: "This county lord still has some brains!" Mama Zhou was a little confused and asked, "The slave is stupid, I don't know what the little princess's intention is in doing this?" Please also ask the princess to dial it personally. Prince Gong said: "You are an old man who does things in my hands, don't you understand this truth?" Why should I give her pink willow green? Don't you know? Although she didn't do anything about Ziyan, it was because Ziyan was not in this mansion, and anyone could be out of sight. Now I deliberately give her to two people, and she is able to do this, can't it be explained? If even these two little girls can't be even, it is very necessary to accept another side concubine. Otherwise, when I am old in the future, who will manage the palace? Mama Zhou nodded again and again when she heard this, and said, "Princess, you are really working hard for the little prince!" Princess Gong sighed and said, "God-given this child has not let me worry since he was a child. Although I'm a pro now, I don't have to worry about it at all. The county lord is just a concubine at home, although he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I am still not at ease in this housekeeper director. Tianci is working hard outside, and there must be a hostess in the town at home. Mama Zhou, you cheer me up, this little princess, let's sharpen it well. Mama Zhou nodded, and then hesitated: "Princess, you are taking great pains, but I don't know if the little princess can appreciate it?" Prince Gong said: "Whether she appreciates it or not, it depends on her understanding." To be the daughter-in-law of our prince's mansion is not casual. Think of me at the beginning, didn't I suffer enough? Everyone only knows that our family is in a high position, but how many people see that the position behind us is actually precarious, and there are dangers everywhere around us? Those who are incapable will be pushed down sooner or later. Now that she is in this position, she has to learn to adapt to this environment! Mama Zhou nodded solemnly.
When Hu Shi saw the return gift sent from Prince Gong's mansion, although he had expected it to be very rich, he was still taken aback. The two grandmothers who came over as gifts from the prince's palace were very respectful to the Hu family, and when the Hu family asked about Shen Rong's situation, they also replied that the little princess was extremely talented and had excellent character, and she was very loved by the prince and the princess, and she was praised by the emperor in the palace. Hu Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered someone to reward the comer. In addition, I read the peace letter that Shen Rong brought to her, and found that Shen Rong's letter was almost the same as what Mama said. However, the matter of receiving the award in the palace is just a passing touch. However, he mentioned that Huixin was on an errand in the queen's palace at the moment, and was deeply loved by the queen, which reassured the Hu family, and also mentioned that he and Huixin might have offended the lord of Mingyue and the hussar general. Remind Hu to pay attention to the actions of his second brother Jinmin, and be sure to pay attention to the dynamics of the DPRK and China when making friends with the children of powerful people. Shen Rong's letter made the Hu family very relieved, this girl seems to be much more sensible than before. In addition, Shen Rong also brought Aunt Liu a special product of the capital and some food and clothing supplies. Jinyu and Shenfang also received some fashionable palace flowers and their daughter's gadgets. Nothing is particularly valuable, but it is more chic and delicate. Kang's there, Shen Rong also asked someone to embroider a set of baby clothes, a set of popular beauty products in Beijing suitable for pregnant women. Everyone in the family has a good gift. It can be seen that Shen Rong really put a lot of thought into it. It also shows that she is much more thoughtful than before. Hu's heart that had been hanging a little bit lowered. The only thing that worries now is that King Rui is going to the Northwest Army, and he doesn't know what the prospects are.
After Master Gao knew Shen Rong's performance in the capital, he was naturally overjoyed. Shen Rong was his most beloved daughter, and she was able to show her face to the palace and be praised by the emperor, which he had never expected before. Now that I know it, I am naturally even happier. At this time, I couldn't help but think of all the things when Shen Rong was at home, her qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, except for the piano, which was taught by a musician from Beijing, almost all of the rest were taught by herself. And the scene of teaching Shen Rong to recognize words and learn to paint seems to be right in front of her, and I can't help but miss the good time when I was with Aunt Liu with red sleeves and poetry. In the end, after snubbing Aunt Liu for nearly half a year, Master Gao finally sent someone to send some food to Liu's family, expressing his concern and condolences.
Receiving the gift that Shen Rong brought back from the capital, Aunt Liu was excited. Looking at the things that are used to eat, everything is what I have mentioned to Shen Rong and what I like. Knowing that Shen Rong was doing well in the palace, Aunt Liu's tears couldn't stop flowing. "I've finally waited for this day, and I've always known that my daughter is the best!" She kept muttering to herself. Qingyun, who was accompanying her on the side, also accompanied her to rejoice: "Auntie, don't cry, the eldest lady is doing well, it's a good thing!" Liu nodded: "As long as she is doing well, I will be at ease." I've always been worried that my wife will be uneasy and kindly marry Shen Rong casually, but now it's okay, Shen Rong is the county lord and the princess, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. Qingyun said: "Auntie, in fact, my wife is good to the eldest lady." Didn't the young lady also say that the wife was very nice to her? Liu frowned and said, "What's good?" If it weren't for the emperor's holy decree, Shen Rong would have been married to Qingxian by her. Qingxian is just a small showman, where can it compare to the current palace? According to me, it's still my family's Shen Rong's life! Qingyun knew that it was useless to say more, so he didn't say anything anymore. Immerse yourself in the work at hand.
When Master Gao sent someone over to comfort Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu pushed her body unwell and did not go to see anyone. Qingyun accepted the things that Master Gao sent over. "Auntie, what's the matter? The lord has always had you in his heart. Qingyun was on the side to persuade her, but Aunt Liu covered her face with a handkerchief, and she couldn't cry a little: "Our affection has long been knocked out by his slap." In this life, I will not go out of this temple again. Qingyun also knew that Aunt Liu was really sad, so she didn't say more. Let herself relax slowly.
