Chapter 52: Don't be angry
The bellflower, who was helping Princess Qing to get out of the car, blushed when she heard the words, new hatred and old hatred came up, and she couldn't control her mouth anymore, Huo's head turned around and said: "Mother Yu said this, but looked at the princess, what do you mean?" Do you think that the injury on the eldest prince's face was not caused by our princess? β
Mother Yu didn't put the bellflower in her eyes at all, she hugged Song Xuan like a baby, and the perfunctory Princess Chaoqing owed herself.
"Don't get me wrong, princess, nominally you occupy the position of the eldest prince's mother-in-law, but you have made the eldest prince frightened and injured one after another. This spread out, and I was afraid that the princess would be vicious, and I wished that something would happen to our eldest son, so it also made room for the second son. β
Princess Qing knew that Mother Yu didn't want to see her, but she didn't expect that she would really dare to say such things in public, and her hands and feet were cold for a while, and she couldn't stop shaking.
"You, how can you say that, how can I ever think about it like this......" If she really thought like this, she would not have sent the child to Jiuli Mountain as soon as she landed.
Mother Yu teased her eyelids contemptuously: "Even if the princess doesn't think so, what about the people around the princess?" β
Kikyo immediately said: "The eldest prince was frightened and injured one after another, and Mother Yu should be counted on the princess?" The eldest prince's Wenyuan Pavilion has always been under the control of Yu's mother, why did Yu's mother let the eldest prince go out of the house alone again and again? What's more, today's eldest prince should have been thinking behind closed doors in the courtyard! Mother Yu doesn't hold herself responsible, but she is so upside down, relying on our princess, what kind of words is this? β
Mother Yu sneered and glanced at the bellflower, as if she was looking at a dead person: "The bellflower girl is really eloquent, no wonder the girl who was killed last night dared to play with the rights and wrongs of the master, didn't she get the guidance of the bellflower girl?" β
Hearing her mention Mai Dong so contemptuously and contemptuously, tears welled up in tears, and she couldn't wait to beat her to death to avenge Mai Dong!
Princess Qing grabbed her, she took a deep breath, and raised her eyes to look at Mother Yu: "The eldest prince is injured, Mother Yu should hurry up and take people back to Wenyuan Pavilion and ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look." β
Yu's mother replied casually: "This is originally a matter of slaves and maids, and the princess will not be reminded of it." β
After that, he hugged Song Xuan and led a large group of maids and women away.
The subordinates were scattered all of a sudden, as if the mother was the serious master of the palace, Princess Qing's master and servant were hung in place, and the grief and indignation on the face of the bellflower made it even more difficult for the two of them to be isolated and helpless.
"Kikyo, it's me who can't stand you." Princess Qing sighed apologetically: "If I can be like Miss Wen Xiang said, I won't let you suffer these grievances, and Mai Dong won't be ......."
Kikyo stood there in a daze, her eyes were red from hatred, and she muttered: "Don't blame the princess, you have nothing to do with that slave." Princess, don't worry, the slave and maid are desperate for this life, and they have to ......."
"Kikyo!" Princess Qing interrupted her in a panic and grabbed Kikyo's hand: "What do you want to do?" β
"Don't worry, the princess, the slave will never affect you!" The thought in Kikyo's heart can't be suppressed!
Before her father died, she told her that she must take good care of her sister. But she didn't protect her sister well, and even when her sister was beaten to death by Diao Nu, she didn't know where her sister's body was thrown.
She knelt down and begged the executioner's mother-in-law, who was afraid to tell her because of the majesty of the slave!
In this mansion, because of that Diao slave, the princess is almost out of place!
If she can kill the mother-in-law, first, she will avenge her sister, and second, she will be regarded as removing obstacles for the princess! In the future, in this Qingwang Mansion, the situation of the princess will definitely get better and better!
"No way!" Princess Qing only looked at the look of the bellflower, and knew what she was thinking, "Do you really think that except for one Yu's mother, I can be fine in this palace?" β
"As long as there is no Mother Yu, the princess will ...... in the future"
"My life with Brother Zhan will only get more and more difficult!" Princess Qing interrupted her: "Without Mother Yu, won't the Qu family send people over again?" Miss Wen Xiang is right, Mother Yu is just a slave! β
And sadly, she can't even do anything about this minion!
Princess Qing's expression became more and more gloomy: "Speaking of which, it's still useless for me." β
The master and servant looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
Kikyo bit his lip stubbornly: "Then what should we do?" β
Princess Qing thought about it for a while, frowned slightly, and then said softly: "You go and ask, see if the prince has returned." If the prince comes back, say I'm ...... I cooked some dishes myself, and asked the prince to appreciate his face......"
As she spoke, she seemed to be unable to speak any longer, and her voice trembled with a choked voice.
She slapped him out in a fit of rage last night, and he stared at her as if he was going to eat her in the stomach. But today, she has to swallow all the grievances and lower her body to coax him, hoping to rely on him to have a way to live in this palace.
Kikyo held Princess Qing's trembling body in distress: "If you don't want to, forget it, don't force yourself." β
Princess Qing didn't say the words "not reluctantly" in the end, she leaned on the bellflower, and after a long time, she said as if she was out of strength: "That's it, don't ask him." Let's go back. β
Kikyo couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face.
β¦β¦
The subordinates of Wenyuan Pavilion were instructed by Yu's mother to turn around, ask for a doctor, fetch hot water, take medicine for injuries, and send snacks...... Compared with the deserted main courtyard, this place is really in full swing.
"Brother Xuan, tell Mom, who hit you in the face?" Yu's mother hugged Song Xuan distressedly and asked him how the injury on his face came about.
Song Xuan looked at Yu's mother with wide eyes, as if she didn't know her.
Yu's mother became more and more distressed: "What's wrong?" My heart, tell your mother quickly, she will never spare those who dare to bully you! β
"Mom, are you a good person or a bad person?" Song Xuan suddenly asked.
Yu's mother was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed greatly: "Who is it?" Who said what in front of my brother? β
As he spoke, his eyes turned red, "Brother, since you were born, your mother has always taken care of you, and when you were a child, you refused to drink milk, and you were hungry and crying." Mom ran out every day and picked countless nurses to come, and finally let you pick two who are willing to drink milk. Once you had a high fever and couldn't go away, I kept watching you for three days without closing your eyes before I rescued you...... Have you forgotten it? Mom is the best person in the world to you, how can she be a bad person? If you tell your mother who said something in front of you, your mother must have tore her mouth! β
When Song Xuan heard this, she closed her mouth tightly, and refused to say anything no matter how Yu's mother asked.
His little heart was full of doubts, just like the fairy sister said, Mother Yu is a slave in their house, isn't it what she should do to help him find a nurse? And when he was sick, the doctor cured him, and it was the doctor who saved him!
But he didn't dare to say it, for fear that Yu's mother would keep asking who told him what.
Sister Fairy said that fairies will also be afraid of bad people. If Mother Yu knew about the fairy sister, she would definitely tear the fairy sister's mouth.
The fairy sister is so good-looking, and she can play such a fun game, if her mouth is torn apart by Yu's mother...... No way! He must control his mouth, and must not name the fairy sister.
Soon the imperial doctor came and did a full body examination for Song Xuan, which was the same as Wen Xiang's judgment, but he suffered some skin trauma.
After sending the imperial doctor away, Yu's mother coaxed Song Xuan to play for a while, and Song Xuan had been playing with Wen Xiang for a long time, so she quickly fell asleep.
Yu's mother walked out with a calm face, and called a mother-in-law to instruct with compassion: "Go and check for me, where did the eldest son go today and who did he see?" β
This mother-in-law is obviously Yu's mother's confidant, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but say: "Is it the princess ......?"
"No!" Yu's mother asserted: "Brother hates her the most, and he will never listen to her!" β
"I'll have someone look it up." The mother-in-law hurriedly and respectfully retreated.
Mother Yu's expression eased slightly, and she summoned another maid over: "Is the prince back?" β
"The prince went to Concubine Zhu's courtyard." The maid said immediately.
A sneer appeared on Mother Yu's rigid face, "That Concubine Zhu is not a good thing!" Okay, you take good care of your brother, if you inadvertently let your brother out of the house, be careful that I break your legs! β
The maid hurriedly responded tremblingly.
Yu's mother straightened her clothes, and then walked out.
β¦β¦
After the meeting, Xu Shen walked out with many officials.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, the officials saluted him and left, and Xu Shen was also about to get into the car.
"Prime Minister, please stay." A clear and smiling voice behind him called him.
Xu Shen looked back and saw that the person who came was actually King Jin, and frowned quietly.
"It turned out to be the prince." He bowed and smiled, "I don't know what advice the prince has?" β
King Jin took Xu Shen's hand, as if he didn't notice Xu Shen's coldness and detachment, and said with a smile: "In front of this king, Xu Xiang doesn't have to be so polite. My father often said that Xu Xiang was the most useful right-hand man of my father, and if there was no Xu Xiang in the court, my father would be very hard. β
"The prince is serious." Xu Shen showed a look of trepidation, "Weichen is just doing his duty." Besides, if there is no one Xu in the court, and there are King Jin Qingwang and others, with all the princes here, Your Majesty has nothing to worry about. β
What he said was completely the opposite, and Emperor Jing was also worried if he had more sons!
There is only one throne, to whom?
To the capable.
But his son is much more capable, and Emperor Jing is even more worried!
He felt that he was in his prime, and it would not be a problem to live another one or two decades. But the sons are all older, and no one can say if they can wait until the moment when he naturally closes his eyes!
Therefore, Emperor Jing sent one of the most capable sons to the frontier. Even so, every day I will be awakened by the nightmare of my son killing his father and usurping the throne.
Others don't know, but as Emperor Jing's favorite minister, Xu Shen can still see a thing or two, so his words are completely silent sarcasm.
But King Jin couldn't hear it at all, he waved his hand modestly when he heard this: "As the sons of our father, we should share our father's worries and solve problems for our father." β
Xu Shen smiled and did not speak.
"What does Xu Xiang think about the impeachment of Prince Cheng just now?" King Jin asked with a smile.
Yushitai impeached Song Nanzhou for dereliction of duty, and now as the commander of the Wuxiang battalion, he didn't want to work hard to rectify military affairs, and ran out all day long, so that the Wuxiang battalion became more and more unshapely.
Emperor Jing withheld those folds and didn't say anything at the court meeting.
Unexpectedly, King Jin asked him here.
Xu Shen said with a smile: "Song Shizi is used to being uninhibited, he has just taken over the Wuxiang camp, and he is not very comfortable with it, and the adults of this Yushitai are too anxious." β
said that the officials of the Yushitai were too anxious, but secretly referred to the Queen Mother's faction.
King Jin didn't seem to understand, anyway, the person who the Queen Mother was interested in was King Qing, and he put it on with a shy face, and the dead old woman of the Queen Mother didn't look down on him. While thinking about it, he sighed and said: "Xu Xiangke knows that Song Nanzhou is not good to stay in the camp, and he runs out all day long, but where did he go?" β
Xu Shen shook his head without moving: "This, but I don't know." β
"Xu Xiang hasn't been to Liyuan Road today, has he?" As soon as King Jin's voice fell, he saw that Xu Shen, who had not moved before, suddenly changed his face, his harmless temperament changed, and the aggressive momentum around his body made him a little uneasy.
"How does the prince know about Liyuan Road?" Xu Shen asked slowly, word by word.
The courtyard where Wen Xiang lives is in the area of Liyuan Road.
"Prime Minister Xu don't get me wrong." King Jin was dissatisfied that Xu Shen's momentum had overshadowed him, but his face showed a little urgency, "It's not that this king Meng Lang deliberately inquired about Miss Xu's affairs." It's because yesterday this king didn't offend Miss Xu unintentionally, and he has always wanted to apologize to Miss Xu. When the king arrived at the inn, he saw Xu Xiang leaving the inn with Miss Xu. β
He put on an extremely sincere look: "This king originally just wanted to escort Xu Xiang and Miss Xu, but only to find out that Miss Xu did not return to Xu's mansion with Xu Xiang. The king didn't know why Xu Xiang wanted to arrange for Miss Xu to live outside alone, because he was not at ease, so he asked the royal palace to take care of her more, and they were not allowed to disturb Miss Xu. Who knows, the king's nursing home came to pay tribute, saying that he saw Song Nanzhou's house enter Miss Xu's courtyard as if he had entered no man's land! β
Xu Shen's expression became more and more cold: "Doesn't Xu want to thank the prince for his kindness?" β
King Jin was also cheeky and suffered: "Xu Xiang doesn't have to be polite, whoever knows about such a thing is not easy to hide." β
He also said: "After all, Miss Xu is a girl's family, although Xu Xiang arranged it properly, some people can't prevent it." Song Nanzhou's guy was prodigal again, in case he deceived Miss Xu...... This king really couldn't look past it, so he kindly told Xu Xiang. β
Xu Shen bowed to him and said with a calm face: "Xu Mou thank you for the reminder." It's just that Xu's own sister didn't bother the prince, and asked the prince to remove those royal palaces! β
"Okay, this king will send them home." King Jin said without saying a word.
Xu Shen saluted him again: "Xu still has important things to do, and I ask the prince to allow Xu to leave first." β
King Jin hurriedly let him go: "Okay, Prime Minister Xu is busy with official business, so this king won't bother." Xu Xiangpleaseβ"
King Jin and his entourage stood in place and watched Xu Shen board the car and leave.
The carriage turned a corner and was soon gone.
The smile on King Jin's face suddenly disappeared.
When the entourage saw it, his heart sank, and he figured out King Jin's thoughts, and said busily: "What's the matter, don't be ashamed!" β
After finishing speaking, he quietly went to look at King Jin's expression.
Sure enough, King Jin was not annoyed, and the entourage breathed a sigh of relief: "The prince talked to him because he could afford him." Is it really true that he can be the prime minister for the rest of his life? β
"Alright." King Jin said lightly: "He is still a favorite of his father's side, and we have to sell some face to him." β
"Why didn't the prince directly tell Xu Xiang just now that he wanted to accept that Xu Wenxiang as a side concubine?" The entourage was a little puzzled.
"Idiot!" King Jin scolded: "What kind of character is Xu Xiang, he will let his sister be small? Only by waiting for the opportunity, this king will not believe it, and that little girl can escape from the palm of this king's hand! β
β¦β¦
Xu Shen rushed to Liyuan Road, and without waiting for the carriage to stop, he jumped down in a hurry.
When he entered the door, he asked, "Is the girl there?" β
"The girl is here." The concierge is the most trusted and reliable person Xu Shen picked from Xu's mansion, "It's just that the girl went out over the wall earlier and brought a child back, saying that it was the eldest son of Qingwangfu, and then Princess Qing came over in person and took away the little son." β
"In addition to Princess Qing, have other people visited?" Xu Shen asked again.
"No, I didn't."
Xu Shen paused for a moment, nodded, and walked back.
Wen Xiang was looking at the gold collar that Weiyu got back at this time, "Tsk, it's really a rich man, look at this cat's eyes, they're almost as big as a pigeon's egg." And this diamond, look at this shiny, oh my god, my eyes are almost gone. Those boys are quite knowledgeable, and know that this circle is a good thing, and can sell a lot of silver. β
Weiyu smiled slightly: "Fortunately, they haven't taken the collar and sold it yet, otherwise the people from Qingwangfu would have found them." β
Wen Xiang raised her eyebrows: "Already looking for it?" β
"When the slave came out with a collar, she happened to see someone from Qingwangfu." Weiyu replied: "Those children are also smart, and they know that the people in Qingwangfu can't afford to mess with them, so they all ran away." β
"Won't it hurt their families?" Wen Xiang couldn't help but ask.
"The slave and maid have asked, they are all orphans without father and mother, and they usually have no one to take care of them, so they will be kidnapped and robbed."
Wen Xiang was about to sigh, "It's also pitiful", when she saw Xu Shen striding in with a calm face.
He was wearing a purple-red official robe, and he was more and more lined with jade trees in the wind, and he was handsome.
It's just this face, it's really ugly.
Wen Xiang secretly thought about who annoyed Xu Xiang's little brother, and got up to greet him: "Brother, why are you here?" β
She automatically blocked last night's embarrassment, and greeted Xu Shen with a smile.
"Xinghua, quickly pour tea for my brother." She commanded with full anger: "Don't be that hot, it's not good to eat, and don't want herbal tea, my brother has just come down from the sun, so you can't drink it cold immediately." I have the tea which I have just the entrance to the warm temperature that I aired. β
She instructed the maid so carefully, Xu Shen was used in her heart, and her face looked better.
"Why are you still sitting outside on such a big day?" Xu Shen asked her.
"This tree is very big, and the canopy is like a natural umbrella, and it is very shady." Wen Xiang asked Weiyu to move another recliner and said to Xu Shen: "This natural shade is much healthier than putting an ice basin in the house. Brother, you try it too. β
After that, he lay down on the chaise longue first, closed his eyes comfortably, and took the cup handed by the little maid.
Xu Shen noticed a strange-looking tube stuck in the cup, and saw her bite the tube with her small mouth, and drank the water.
"What are you?"
"It's wheat straw, I washed it myself, and it's very clean." Wen Xiang strongly recommended: "It's easy to choke when we lie down and drink water like this, but using this straw to drink can avoid the risk of choking." β
She said, taking another pleasant sip.
Just as Xinghua brought water, Wen Xiang immediately looked at Xu Shen with blank eyes.
Xu Shen was stared at by her, paused, and then took the wheat straw handed over by Xinghua.
Wen Xiang immediately laughed.
Xu Shen looked at the smiling face, and the resistance in his heart was not as strong as Fang Cai, he tried to take a sip, and the warm water went down the wheat straw to his mouth, which seemed to have a bit of grass and wood fragrance, and it was not unpleasant to drink.
Xu Shen involuntarily took another sip.
The smile on Wen Xiang's face became deeper and deeper: "I'm right, it's really very convenient, you lie down first." Lie down and try again-"
Xu Shen lay down as he said, and the dense foliage above his head was lush and verdant, as if it was about to drip water. The sunlight penetrates through the leaves with difficulty, because the tree is the best barrier, so the sunlight falling on the body does not make people feel hot and dry.
On the contrary, this corner like a paradise inexplicably calmed the original impatience and anger in his heart.
Xu Shen looked at Wen Xiang slightly, and she was also looking at him.
Seeing him look over, she smiled slightly: "Brother, are you in a better mood?" β
Xu Shen was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "It's much better." β
Hearing that his voice softened, Wen Xiang's smile became even bigger: "You walked in so angrily just now, which scared me a lot." β
"Would you be afraid?" Xu Shen looked at her in disbelief, he dared to walk outside alone, and he had never been fooled, he thought she was bold.
Wen Xiang ignored his ridicule and said seriously: "Brother, you also know that I am a newcomer, I don't understand many rules, and I may make mistakes if I am not careful-I call you brother, in my heart I really treat you as a brother who can be relied on, if I really do something wrong, I hope you don't get angry." β
Xu Shen was stunned again, his heart was bitter and astringent, but looking at Wen Xiang's serious and sincere little face, he only felt that the bitterness seemed to be nothing. He kept forcing her to admit that she was Xu Wenxiang, but in fact, he didn't dare to admit that she was really not Xu Wenxiang.
She may be the missing part of Xiangxiang's soul, but this part is also completely different from her Xiangxiang, they are two people, he shouldn't be obsessed with her, he has to treat her as Xiangxiang!
"I'm not going to be angry." Xu Shen said, "So, now you can say, did you cause any trouble?" β
