In the Shendu Fang, the afterglow of the Shangsi Festival is still strong, even if it has reached the curfew time, the young men and women can still be heard singing everywhere in the Fang.

In the Zheng family's mansion in Taohuafang, the family who had just returned from the palace banquet sat in the middle hall, but the atmosphere was a little dull.

Zheng Gao was anxious to know how the banquet in the inner hall was, although he also had a lot of extravagance outside, but he also understood that the final decision on this matter still rested with His Majesty the Holy Emperor in the inner hall. For such a thing, there is not much room for the outer court to do it.

Although his wife was hesitant and vague along the way, Zheng Gao generally knew that the result of the banquet in the inner hall was not good, and it could even be said to be very poor.

"San Niangzi, is your performance like that worthy of your family's expectations of you? When he didn't enter the matter, he said that he was led by himself, but after entering the palace, he was even more timid than ordinary small women! I have tried to expose your talents, but you have ignored them! ”

Mrs. Zheng peeked at her husband's gloomy expression, turned her head to stare at Zheng Wenyin, and said with a full of complaints.

Zheng Wenyin lowered her head, her lips were bloodless, and she just whispered: "The eldest lady doesn't know, in fact, I ......"

"Actually, what? It's not like you're panicking! You yourself are nepotistic, but you don't care about your family, such a scheming is hidden, and you are as timid as a chicken after entering the palace! The family's hard work for months has been ruined by you! ”

Hearing that Zheng Wenyin was still quibbling, Mrs. Zheng was even more angry, and she shouted angrily, looking angry.

In fact, the most worrying thing in her heart was not that Zheng Wenyin was not performing in the inner hall, but that when Shangguan Wan'er came to see her in the Shendu Garden, her attitude was really not good, and she was just perfunctory about what she entrusted, and even directly expelled guests in order to welcome Princess Yongwang.

In addition to her husband's advice, Mrs. Zheng saw with her own eyes how Shangguan Wan'er behaved calmly in front of Her Majesty in the inner hall, and only then did she realize that she had really offended someone who should not be offended.

But she also has her own difficulties, in the early years, she followed her husband to the eunuch in other states, and settled in the gods for more than a year, and until the husband served as the heavenly official servant, all kinds of human relations became lively, and there was neither a way nor time to carefully inquire about the details of human relations in the forbidden world. At that time, he was full of family plans, and he was really in no mood to deal with a palace official from a criminal family.

Now, Mrs. Zheng is only worried that Shangguan Wan'er has a grudge. Their family was already clumsy in their performance in the inner hall, and if a close female official in front of the emperor was added to obstruct it, this matter could basically be declared a failure.

Mrs. Zheng knew that her husband had great hopes for this matter, and the matter had come to this point, even if she told the past about offending Shangguan Wan'er, it would be useless, so she simply blamed Zheng Wenyin for all the mistakes. It is true that if it weren't for the lady's cowardice in the temple and her great failure to deal with it, things would not be hopeless.

Hearing Mrs. Zheng's reprimand, Zheng Wenyin's pretty face was even colder, and she bowed deeply in the banquet, and choked up: "Thank you for the squire's affection, good fate, thank you for the care of the eldest lady, Wen Yin's life is cold and blessed, her qualifications are poor, and she has failed to get the eyes of the nobles, and she has lived up to the expectations of her relatives." Tomorrow, I will check my outfit and return to the countryside, and I dare not disturb the mansion again. As for the waiter's kindness, he can only report it at the right time. ”

Zheng Gao was full of depression at this time, and when he heard Zheng Wenyin say this, although he couldn't bear it, he was too lazy to respond for a while, so he just waved his hand and said: "The third lady is also tired, go back to the house to rest." Tomorrow's business, tomorrow's story. ”

Zheng Wenyin stood up on the seat, it was still a little difficult to walk, and the maidservant Chun'er was busy stepping forward to help her lady to exit the middle hall.

After returning to the guest house, the maidservant Chun'er turned around and closed the door, and couldn't help complaining: "The eldest lady is really unreasonable, and this family is also ...... The court is full of men, but they have to rely on a few ladies to seek luck and nobles to win the future, which is already despised. can't make it, but blame the lady, don't get into your heart...... What's wrong with you, girl? ”

While speaking, the maid turned around and saw her own lady lying directly on the ground, her arms and knees, trembling all over, she was suddenly startled, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help the lady, but she heard the lady's tone weakly said: "Slow, slow, it hurts......"

There was still a breath of support outside, and after returning home, the pain doubled and erupted, and the lady finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Lady, how can you? How so...... Lady, are you going to a banquet or a sentence? ”

The maid carefully carried her lady back to the couch, took off her socks, opened her shirt, and saw that her lady's two calves, which were as white as jade, had been completely swollen, and she was even more panicked.

The lady of the Zheng family lay on her back on the couch, trying to move her toes, although the muscles were painful, but she could still move, and she laughed miserably while gasping: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just swollen and painful, and it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones." ”

"Lady, you lie down, and the servant is going to find someone to be treated!"

While speaking, the maidservant was about to get up and go out, Zheng Wenyin hurriedly raised her hand to stop it: "No need, the waiter is bored, and I have become a disgusting guest in his house, don't bother me anymore." Tonight, apply a light compress, if it doesn't get better, say goodbye tomorrow and then enter the market for medical treatment. You're happy, we might want to stay for a few days and have time to visit Nanshi. ”

"What am I happy about? Ladies are hurt like this! What's going on here? ”

The maid wiped her tears and turned back, looking at her lady's wounded and swollen legs, and frowned in distress.

Zheng Wenyin made a small statement about the banquet in the inner hall, and shook her head and sighed: "Alas, I miscalculated, at that time, several ladies got up to change the table, but I just wanted to keep my manners." It's really unbearable, this forbearance has become like this, overestimating myself, and hurting fate......"

After hearing this, the maid was even more angry: "Even if it is a noble person from the heavenly family, where is this selection of relatives, it is clearly to practice people for fun!" Lady, are you stupid, even if you endure it, what can you do......"

"Heh, even if your lady is a little shrewd, how can she be agile and appropriate when she first enters such an occasion? Stupidity is naturally stupid, otherwise how dare you make such a vain request? But he finally did something, and the fate was in his own hands, and he was willing. ”

Zheng Wenyin lay on her back for a while, recovered some energy, and was able to sit up and gently tap her calf, with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth: "At that time, sitting in the hall, I felt that I was about to die of pain every time, but I thought that every time I felt a point, or I could get closer to him, I also survived." ”

"You're really stupid, stupid and stupid! How can there be a good fate in the world that you have to torture yourself like this to get it? Even if you ask for it, it's a good match! ”

The maidservant slapped away the lady's fist, rubbed it lightly before entering, and said in an angry tone: "Now that you are injured like this, in addition to being close to someone, who can feel a little distressed?" That Xunqing, can he look at you more? ”

"It's just my own heart, what does it have to do with him? This kind of pain has come through, and if there is delusion in the future, how much can it prompt people? It's just, it's just an explanation for yourself......"

Zheng Wenyin blinked, took a deep breath, leaned on the couch, her eyes gradually drifted into confusion, and she fell asleep quietly unconsciously. In her sleep, her legs twitched occasionally, and the maid wiped her tears and rubbed them lightly, while looking at her lady's sleeping face covered with tears, and gritted her teeth with a vicious reprimand.

Early the next morning, Zheng Wenyin's legs were even more swollen, but after all, she didn't hurt her muscles and bones, and she could barely walk on the ground. After grooming early in the morning, he entered the inner house with the support of the maidservant to say goodbye.

Zheng Gao was full of worries, and went out early in the morning to inquire about the latest news, and only Mrs. Zheng was in the inner house.

Seeing Zheng Wenyin come to say goodbye, Mrs. Zheng frowned again and said: "Inviting the third lady is the instigation of the lord of Lang, and now that the lord of Lang is not at home, I can't decide to stay with my relatives." Even if you don't want to bother, you have been staying for many days, and the third lady will stay for a short time, and wait for the lord to return to the mansion. ”

Of course, she is not sincere in keeping Zheng Wenyin, but she is worried that her husband will go out to find out that she has offended Shangguan Wan'er, return to reprimand, and leave this lady behind, and she can have multiple targets of anger.

Hearing Mrs. Zheng say this, Zheng Wenyin nodded, but said again: "I often live in the countryside, it is rare to enter the city, take advantage of this leisure time, enter the market to buy some items, I hope the eldest lady can allow it." ”

"The third lady still has leisure, go, don't miss the time to return."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she waved her hand impatiently, not in the mood to ask Zheng Wenyin's already obviously difficult posture, nor did she arrange for her family to accompany her to guide her.

Although Zheng Wenyin's family has lived in the countryside for a long time, they are not the two main maids and maids when they enter the capital this time, and they still have a few family members accompanying them and living in the outer courtyard of the Zheng family. Knowing that the lady was going to travel, but the Zheng family did not arrange a car, a family member rented a carriage from the car shop in the workshop to carry the lady into the market.

Not long after the master and servant left the workshop, the pottery workshop suddenly became lively, and there were hundreds of forbidden soldiers and soldiers riding in a queue of horses, clustering a gorgeous carriage into the workshop, and came straight to the direction of the Zheng family's courtyard.

Seeing this battle, the Zheng family slaves were also panicked, and they were busy spreading the word to the door, and after Mrs. Zheng in the backyard learned about it, she was also busy walking to the middle hall, and saw that her sons and daughters were gathered in the hall, and the forbidden army carriages and horses had entered the vestibule, Mrs. Zheng was even more nervous and sweaty: "What's the matter?" These soldiers are ......"

"It's the envoy of Ouchi who has entered the hall and surrendered the system, Aya is not there, we really don't know ......"

The children of the Zheng family were calm, and they already knew the other party's intentions, but their parents were not in the hall, so they didn't dare to rashly invite the envoy in.

"It's coming, it's coming! Great Joy, Great Celebration...... Mrs. quickly led the three ladies into the back hall to wait, set up a case in the middle hall, and respectfully invited the envoy! ”

Zheng Gao almost returned to the workshop at the same time as the envoy, entered through the back door, returned to the inner room and changed his robe, and then turned out.

"Three Ladies, Three ......"

Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw this.

"The third lady has been selected as the acting princess for His Majesty, and this time the envoy enters the palace to extract the pedigree and enter the clan, and the next step is to discuss the marriage and enter the ceremony!"

Hearing her husband say this, Mrs. Zheng was even more shocked that her tongue almost swallowed into her throat, and her body shook and gasped for a while before she said astringently: "The third lady is not in the mansion, she has just come out of the ......."

"Stupid woman, what are you doing in court! Quickly, quickly dispatch the family, and quickly find the three ladies! ”

When Zheng Gao heard this, he was so angry that he almost strangled his own lady to death, and he was busy for months just for this, but the envoy had already entered, but the princess was gone!
