Chapter 386: Relatives and Strangers
Qianqing Palace West Warm Pavilion.
Since moving here, Zhu Ning has never been picky about anything else, but just ordered the imperial supervisor to add a bookshelf against the wall here, and moved all his boxes of books here. In addition to taking care of Zhu Di's diet and daily life, at other times she is mostly reading, writing, painting, or solving those endages that have been passed down through the ages.
At this time, sitting on the chair, she stared at a chess game on the small table of Huanghuali in front of her, holding a marble as white as jade in her hand, but she was thinking about another thing in her heart. Since the emperor summoned his father to Beijing, it is natural that the matter has been decided, and perhaps the evidence of rebellion has been readily available. However, Kaifeng is not too far from Beijing, so why do you have to let my father enter Beijing in February next year? The emperor even told her the identity of the informant, was he really so relieved of her?
"A-Ning."
Hearing this call, Zhu Ning immediately came back to his senses, but still gently patted the chess pieces in his hand in a direction on the chessboard, and then turned around, and immediately hurriedly got up and saluted. Seeing that Zhu Di seemed to be in a good mood, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after all, she was not Wang Guifei, and she was really powerless to face such a crazy and irritable emperor every day.
"When I came to see you, I was almost always playing chess, and you were going crazy." Zhu Di is extremely ordinary in Go, but he often looks for Zhu Ning to play a game when he has nothing to do, but he has wins and losses, but he is not interested in this at this time. After staring at Zhu Ning for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Those old people actually invited you out in order to save trouble, and these days are thanks to your dedication." The list selected by the Zongren Mansion and the Master of Ceremonies has already been given to you, can you choose it? ”
Due to a series of accidents, Zhu Ning had already left this matter behind, and Zhu Di only remembered it when he mentioned it. Although she really wanted to hold back a wisp of red on her face, she really didn't have such ability, so she had to say bluntly: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, I have already given the list of those people to the Zongren Mansion and the celebrant before." As for who to choose, that's not something for me to decide. The words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders do not have the reason for me to be a woman. ”
Majestic and majestic, not smiling. This is the impression of civil officials on Zhu Di, the emperor.
Take the lead, and the horizontal knife is immediate. This is the generals' perception of Zhu Di, the king.
But Zhu Di's side of kindness was revealed at this time. Looking at Zhu Ning, who was indifferent, he couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy towards Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou-he also has five princesses, why is there no one who can compare to Zhu Ning? The eldest daughter and the second daughter were married when they were still the county lords, and then their husbands were all made marquis, and the other daughters were also married to top nobles. According to the list sent by the celebrant supervisor, Zhu Ning chose a few Guozi prison students whose family backgrounds could only be regarded as solid. I'm afraid that it was Zhou Wang Zhu Hu who chose his own son-in-law, and the result obtained was stronger than this, and when the list was delineated, as far as he knew, Zhu Ning did not hesitate at all.
"A-Ning, several of my daughters have already been married, why don't I ask my fifth brother for you, how about you be my daughter? I will seal you Princess Chenliu, and in the future, even if you get married, you can often enter the palace to live. ”
Even if Zhu Ning had always been calm, she couldn't help but be stunned on the spot when she heard such amazing news from Zhu Di's mouth. Yesterday, it was confirmed from the emperor's mouth that someone had secretly accused his father Zhu Hu of rebellion, and learned that his father would enter Beijing in February. At that time, she already felt very strange, who would have thought that the emperor would have such a thought!
This is not unprecedented, when Taizu founded the country, the two nieces of the prince of Nanchang and the prince of Mengcheng were both princesses, but now it is not as good as it was back then!
In a flash of light, she made up her mind. Because this was not in front of everyone, she did not kneel, but gave a salute, and changed her title: "If the fourth uncle likes it, I can naturally treat you as a father, but Princess Feng still doesn't have to." Home is home, national law is national law, you don't want others to say that I don't know how to measure, right? What I am doing for you now is what I am doing for my father at home, and it makes no difference in the first place, so why bother for a name? ”
"Good, good! What a good daughter, the fifth child is blessed! ”
Wang Guifei has not yet been buried, and the edict of moving the capital has only just been promulgated, and now it is the eldest son of the three sons who has gone wrong, even Zhu Di, who does not believe in evil, does not dare to completely disbelieve that the celestial phenomena played by Qin Tianjian are not conducive to the emperor and grandson. It can be said that his mood is worse than ever now. However, just after talking to Zhu Ning for such a short time, he felt that those glooms had been washed away a lot, and even felt that his thinking about her marriage was a bit nonsense. Just when he was in a good mood, a sharp and thin voice suddenly came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Gonggong Lu, who is the commander of Dongchang, has confidential and important matters."
Zhu Di originally planned to play a game of chess with Zhu Ning to relax, but when he heard this, he immediately frowned. Glancing at Zhu Ning, he pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Although those old people beg you to take care of them here, you don't have to be bored here all day long. I even drove the Imperial Doctor away, so you simply went out for a walk. Zhang Yue just finished playing things and left, he was too busy these days, I asked him to go back last night, he actually went back and left his wife to live in the barracks all night. Since you are friendly with his daughter-in-law, you simply go to see someone's house, don't you ...... I remember that the crystal parfait that was delivered by the Shangshan Superintendent yesterday was good, so you can bring a food box with you. ”
Zhu Ning initially thought that Zhu Di was just making fun of him, but he didn't know that it was the truth until he heard it last. Although she didn't like to be stuffed in the palace, she was still a little uneasy in her heart, so she shook her head and said: "I'll let people send things, you can't have no one around, I'll leave the palace in two days......"
"I said today is today!" Zhu Di waved his hand undoubtedly, then turned around and strode out of the door, just when he opened the curtain and was about to go out, he stopped again, and immediately turned his head and ordered, "If you don't leave after half an hour, I will send someone to drive you away!" ”
Unable to resist the emperor's whim, Zhu Ning had no choice but to comply. Although she doesn't know how to be a good fortune on weekdays, but since she is going out today, Zhu Di said something like that, so she has to take her maid to Shangshan Prison for a trip. After instructing Zhu Di about today's diet, she picked out a few snacks and saved two boxes, but there was only one grid with crystal parfait.
Now that the weather is cold, Du Juan is pregnant again, where can I touch this kind of cold thing more? Not to mention anything else, even the hawthorn cakes that had just been made, she waved her hand and signaled not to. Eat more hawthorn slippery tires, she remembers this clearly.
Last night, a heavy snowfall had covered all the streets and alleys of Jingshi, and those avenues were naturally cleaned by special personnel, but even horse-drawn carriages were not so easy to travel in the alleys that extended in all directions. Knowing that the carriage was not easy to walk today, Zhu Ning had no choice but to choose a sedan chair, because the road was slippery in the snow, and a few more guards were added to the front and rear. After the group left the palace, they only picked the avenues, but even these avenues only cleared a small section of the passage, and it was quite difficult to walk. Although the four sedan chair drivers are the safest people, the sedan chair is still inevitably bumpy. I don't know how long I walked, but the groggy Zhu Ning suddenly heard a commotion.
"What's so noisy?"
"Lord Qiyu, there is also an honor guard car driving in front of you, as if it is a marquis. There is snow on both sides of this road, so it will be difficult to pass for a while. ”
Zhu Ning couldn't help but open a slit in the sedan curtain, and when she saw that Fuyang Hou was written on the honor guard from afar, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Fuyang Hou Li Maofang is now eighteen years old, and he should have reached the age of marriage, but because Princess Yongping couldn't find a suitable person, he heard that he had made a marriage with Zhang Hui's family a few days ago. As a result, Zhang Hui lost his wife, and Rexiaoli's plan to get married was completely dismissed by the emperor, and the Marquis of Fuyang had to wait for another three years.
Since Zhu Ning was the county lord and an elder, the mighty group had to get out of the way. When she passed by, Zhu Ning gently lifted the curtain and took a look, and saw that it was a princess phoenix sedan chair, with a red curtain hanging down in front of her, and she could faintly hear the woman's coquettish moaning inside, she couldn't help but sink her face, and wanted to open her mouth to remind, but in the end she still held back. Princess Yongping is no more than other princesses, widowed in her early years, and she dotes on her son the most, and she doesn't want to meddle in her affairs.
Taizu has long had an ancestral system, and the nobles are not allowed to take the sedan chair regardless of the age and the young, and when is it now, this Li Maofang actually dares to use the princess phoenix sedan chair without permission, and is still in it with the maid Hu Tiandi, if you want to settle the charge, the four words of madness are enough!
When Zhu Ning's trip passed, Li Maofang, who was playing with the maid, felt the sedan chair move slightly, so he snorted angrily: "Let me go, sooner or later, you will have to give way to me!" Lift the sedan chair faster, the third uncle is still waiting for me! ”
The two groups of people parted ways, Li Maofang's line left in a majestic way, and Zhu Ning also walked all the way to Zhang's house and stopped. Because she had been here once before, she naturally recognized her at the door, and hurriedly welcomed her in. Here Zhang's distinguished guests came to the door, and the small courtyard under the name of Zhang Yue in West Pailou Lane also ushered in an uninvited guest.
Fang Rui's household registration has now also moved here with the help of the British Princess, and Wan Shijie and Xia Ji are now separated and live here every day, and the two of them have to take turns to explain their homework to Fang Rui. Fang Rui was originally a sincere person, so he studied even harder, preparing to be admitted to the Guozijian and Zhang Zhen as his companion. At this time, he was hurriedly called out by the old family, but what he saw was the eldest brother he hadn't met for a long time, and he couldn't help but look a little dazed.
"Little brother, hurry up and pack your things and come with me!"
It wasn't until someone grabbed his wrist that Fang Rui reacted, and after breaking free, he took a few steps back: "Big brother, if you have anything to say, just make it clear!" I'm not a child who doesn't understand the world anymore, you don't want to make decisions for me in everything! ”
