Chapter 17: Catch up and fight
"Lord Wang, I have limited energy and can only raise one in Beibei, if the prince feels that the house is thin, I can help the prince pick a few lovely people."
Whoever loves to give birth to whom, she fought hard when she gave birth to Beibei and almost died.
What's more, the child is the crystallization of the love of two people, she only has disgust for King Xiao, and she doesn't want to have another burden at all.
"Auntie!" Ye Yan'er looked at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess turned her head and ignored it.
This time, Ye Yan'er's heart was half cold, and she put all her expectations on King Xiao.
King Xiao pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word, he couldn't intercede if he went back on his word, who let Ye Yan'er provoke first.
"Yan'er, it's only been three years, and it's gone by soon."
In desperation, King Xiao had no choice but to make a choice for Ye Yan'er.
Ye Yan'er shook her head, clenched her teeth, raised her hand and fanned her fair little face.
Three years is too long, and no one can guarantee what the situation will be when you come back.
Remember https://m in a second.
She didn't dare to bet on whether King Xiao's heart would change.
Therefore, she must not leave the palace.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Ye Yan'er closed her eyes tightly and slapped her face again and again.
After a while, the little face as white as jade was covered with slap prints, and the people present shook their heads after seeing it.
Concubine Ye, who has always been noble and decent, is nothing more than that.
I don't know how long it took, Ye Yan'er's body staggered, her hands were almost numb, her mouth was bleeding, her ears were buzzing, and even her breath was mixed with a fishy smell.
She didn't dare to open her eyes, she didn't want to see the ridicule of the crowd.
From a woman who was high above and out of everyone's reach, she suddenly fell into everyone's joke.
Ye Yan'er has the heart to die at the moment, and at the same time, she hates Chu Yunning very much in her heart.
"Enough is enough for Concubine Ye." Chu Yunning shouted a halt at the forty-ninth.
Ye Yan'er opened her eyes, and her whole little face could no longer be seen.
"That's it, you don't have to fight anymore." Chu Yunning let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "I know that you are crazy and can't think about it for a while, I don't blame you." ”
Ye Yan'er was about to vomit blood in anger, there was only one one left, there was no difference between beating and not fighting, Chu Yunning was deliberately responding to her.
Under everyone's scrutiny, Ye Yan'er spat out vague words: "Princess Xie." ”
After speaking, King Xiao led Ye Yan'er out of the eldest princess's mansion.
A farce dispersed, and it was not interesting for Chu Yunning to stay, so he looked for Beibei and quickly left.
"Mother is so mighty!" Beibei gave a thumbs up, and he watched the scene from behind the promenade.
There were a few times when he even wanted to rush out, but when he thought of his mother's advice, he held back, he believed that his mother could solve the dilemma.
"Concubine Ye often bullies her mother, this time she planted a heel, will she calculate her mother in private?"
Beibei is worried that his mother will suffer, after all, King Xiao has always been partial to Ye Yan'er.
"Mother will teach you another idiom today, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth."
"What do you mean?"
"It means to ......" Chu Yunning explained the source, and he understood it quickly.
When the two returned to the palace, the palace was quiet, and the sound of the maid and woman walking was deliberately lowered.
The atmosphere was particularly oppressive.
"Lord Wang!" Ye Yan'er cried to death, half of it was painful and half of it was angry, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
In normal times, King Xiao would definitely pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but today Ye Yan'er has a pig's head face, and she can't see the original coquettish appearance clearly, which can be described as a tragic word, and she is even more cautious when she cries.
King Xiao really couldn't take pity on him.
"Woo." Ye Yan'er cried constantly, sobbing and snuggling in King Xiao's arms, her mouth was full of pain, and her tears were even more uncontrollable.
So King Xiao's patience ran out, comforted him a few words, and casually made an excuse to leave.
As soon as the person left, Ye Yan'er's anger couldn't be stopped.
Annoyed, he smashed the furnishings in the house, and the maid stood at the door and didn't even dare to breathe.
After King Xiao left, he unknowingly came to Danqiong Garden.
"The princess is back?"
The guard replied: "Yes, the princess rushed back in the half pillar of incense after the prince returned to the house." ”
King Xiao was thoughtful, and now the princess has also suffered a lot of grievances.
I don't know how the princess is doing now.
At this time, the chief butler happened to come over with a few strings of account keys and a few account books, and saw King Xiao saluting.
"What is this?"
The chief housekeeper: "Back to the prince, this is the key to the account room and the account book of the last three months, the princess said that there is no need to send it over at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Three o'clock in the afternoon?
King Xiao frowned, if nothing else, this time should be in the eldest princess's mansion, is she so sure that she can rush back?
"What does the princess mean?"
The chief housekeeper followed the conversation: "The princess checked the accounts of the palace in recent years overnight, and said that the expenses were too big and she needed to save expenses. ”
"In one night?" King Xiao didn't believe it, although he didn't care about the accounts, he also knew that the account books were complicated and needed to be sorted out.
The chief butler nodded, and exaggerated Chu Yunning to calculate the two big boxes of accounts overnight.
King Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then took the key and the account book and entered Danqiong Garden.
"Lord Wang......" The big housekeeper was overjoyed, King Xiao must have gone to the princess to settle accounts, maybe King Xiao searched again, and he could find out the cat.
When the time came to take back the princess's housekeeping rights, the big housekeeper was beaten twice by Chu Yunning, and he couldn't swallow this breath.
King Xiao entered Danqiong Garden, and unlike usual, there were a few more people in the courtyard to serve.
Under the promenade, there are several pots of excellent peony flowers, which are bewitching and dazzling.
At some point, there is a grape trellis at the corner of the yard, with green vines on it, and a small tea table is built under the shelf, which is delicate and small.
The main house that had been burned down had also been repaired, and there were no signs of burning.
Smoke curls from the backyard, and there is a smell in the air.
King Xiao slowed down, looking at this scene, he didn't know why his heart was inexplicably quiet.
"Princess!"
There was a maid shouting in his ear, and King Xiao followed the sound and walked over.
Chu Yunning changed into a plain white dress, her hair was slightly pulled up, her sleeves were rolled up, and she stood in front of the board skillfully pinching the pastry, with a gentle smile on her beautiful face, and a gentle smile was as bright as a flower.
made King Xiao stunned.
"Lord Wang!" Bixiu saluted King Xiao.
Chu Yunning came back to his senses and looked at his sight, and sure enough, he saw King Xiao whose face was not very good.
She guessed that it must be for Ye Yan'er to get justice.
So Chu Yunning glanced at Bixiu: "Take Beibei to the backyard to play for a while." ”
"Yes."
When King Xiao saw that she was wary of herself, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Princess, this is the account book you want, in the past few years, Concubine Ye has been cautious and professional, and she does not dare to slack off, all kinds of expenses in the house are strictly controlled, and she will never dare to be fooled easily, and rashly reduce the amount of use, so that outsiders will think that the palace is in decline."
The chief housekeeper took the opportunity to speak, and did not forget to say good things for Ye Yan'er.
Chu Yunning suddenly realized that he was looking for fault in order to save expenses.
"Lord Wang, the palace has been in a deficit for the past few years, and the harvest in the Zhuangzi and the shop can barely be maintained, I think it is inappropriate, so I propose unnecessary expenses, not just to save a certain person."
Chu Yunning's explanation was not recognized by the chief butler, but instead made the chief butler seize the loophole in his words and asked, "What does the princess mean that Concubine Ye has filled her private pockets when she is the housekeeper?" This is really wrongful to kill the side concubine, the prince, the side concubine will never do this. ”
"Since the palace has been handed over to the princess, everything is up to the princess." Xiao Wang said.
The chief butler was stunned: "But the side concubine ......"
"The side concubine is not in good health and needs to recuperate, so there is no need to disturb the side concubine with such a tedious matter in the future."
When King Xiao mentioned Concubine Ye, he felt a little repulsed in his heart.
The big housekeeper will look at the eyes, and he can't figure out what King Xiao means, so he can only shut up.
Chu Yunning was confused, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance in his heart, who knows what the love brain is planning.
"Let's go down."
drove away the big housekeeper, and King Xiao and Chu Yunning were left in the courtyard.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Chu Yunning secretly thought, if you want to quarrel, you can quarrel, don't give me this set of affectionate money.
King Xiao walked to the porch and sat on the idle small stool casually, and said suspiciously: "This king remembers that the princess is not good at settling accounts, and she can't cook, and Aunt Mao is old and can't read, where did the princess learn this?" ”
Chu Yunning was stunned, how could she explain such a metaphysical thing?
"Is it Beibei's father?"
King Xiao endured it for a long time, mentioning that this person still had a strange sourness in his heart, he didn't care about it before, but now he is going to start investigating.
This person must not remain in the palace any longer.
Sure enough, he still overestimated the strange idea of the love brain, and Chu Yunning rolled his eyes
, sighed: "The prince doesn't have to bother, Beibei's father is long gone." ”
King Xiao was stunned suddenly: "Dead?" ”
"Yes!" Chu Yunning nodded without hesitation, some people might as well be alive as they died.
There was another silence, and Xiao Wang's eyes shifted to the delicate little snacks on the board, all kinds of cartoon patterns, which he had never seen before.
"I am the daughter of the Chu family, I used to be proud, but after suffering a big loss, I calmed down, and there is nothing that I can't learn after five years of precipitation."
Chu Yunning explained lightly and let King Xiao look at it.
"What's going on with the broken jade today?"
King Xiao checked it privately, Chu Yunning did put the complete jade in the box, why was it transferred when he arrived at the eldest princess's mansion?
"You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, it's just a multi-layer guarantee, who knew that it was so unfortunate that the eldest princess had to open it in person."
Chu Yunning shrugged his shoulders and didn't mention Ye Yan'er for half a word.
King Xiao is like a mirror in his heart, the matter of broken jade must have something to do with Ye Yan'er, but he doesn't want to admit it.
"Mother!"
Beibei was worried that Chu Yunning would be bullied, so he ran from the backyard, hugged Chu Yunning's thigh, and looked at King Xiao with a wary face.
King Xiao looked at Beibei with an inexplicable expression, this child was smart and lively, and his appearance was also very pleasing.
"The palace is just a child in the north, it is really a little thin, should the princess think about it for the heirs of the palace."
Chu Yunning couldn't believe it, she didn't hear it wrong, right?
King Xiao wants a second child?
King Xiao said in a deep voice: "This king needs a son-in-law." ”
"I can raise one under my knees, don't worry, I will never treat him harshly."
The more Chu Yunning resisted, the more King Xiao was holding back a layer of anger in his heart, grabbed Chu Yunning's hand, and said coldly: "You are Princess Xiao, it is your duty to open branches and leaves for this king, and you can't be allowed to shirk!" ”
"You bastard!" Chu Yunning struggled, but King Xiao had a lot of strength, and his wrists were almost crushed and he didn't pull them out.
"You let go of my mother!" Beibei stepped forward to beat King Xiao.
King Xiao grabbed Beibei's hand, his eyes became fierce, Chu Yunning was so frightened that he immediately said: "If you have anything to say, don't move Beibei!" ”
"Chu Yunning, this king wants a concubine who belongs to Xiao Wangfu, this king can accommodate him regardless of his previous suspicions, and will give him half of the family property, so that he will bear the name of the heir of Xiao Wangfu for the rest of his life, and no one will insult him!"
King Xiao pointed to Beibei, intending to threaten.
Chu Yunning was almost angry, she just thought that King Xiao was in love with a serious brain before, but now she feels that she is too scumbag.
Today, Ye Yan'er was injured, and instead of comforting, she wanted to have a child with another woman.
There is no humanity at all.
Chu Yunning raised his hand and grabbed King Xiao's hand, and his fingertips swiped it, King Xiao immediately let go of the hand that was holding Beibei in pain, and took two steps back to stare at her.
"You dare to plot against this king!"
Chu Yunning pulled Beibei behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, please respect yourself!" ”
"You!"
At this time, there was a little girl's voice outside the door.
"The slave maid greets the eldest princess."
After a while, the princess came angrily.
King Xiao had no choice but to retract his anger and stepped forward to salute: "Why is my aunt here?" ”
It's not over yet.
The eldest princess pushed aside King Xiao and went straight to Beibei, and Chu Yunning quickly stopped in front of her, blocking the eldest princess's sight.
"The eldest princess has something to say, so that she won't be so angry."
"Smack!"
The eldest princess raised her hand and slapped Chu Yunning in the face, fast and ruthless: "It's all to blame for this evil obstacle you raised, which caused my son miserable, and now my son is unconscious, if you make a mistake, this palace wants you to pay for your life!" ”
