Chapter 594: Value and Worthlessness (2)
In the spacious main room of the main courtyard, although the night is quite deep, Hai Lanzhu has not rested, a princess dress has not been removed, frowning slightly and pacing back and forth in the room, the cold day, but the forehead is full of fine beads of sweat, it is obvious that the uneasiness and apprehension in the heart are really tight, there is no side, just because in the handling of Ihanna's affairs, she does have something wrong, and she thinks that it is difficult to hide from the shrewd Hongqing, and she can't help but worry that Hongqing will be responsible.
"The prince is back."
Just when Hai Lanzhu was suffering from gains and losses, she heard the sound of the maids' salutes sounding in the partition outside the room, Hai Lanzhu's heart suddenly twitched, and she hurried to the screen, but she hesitated to stand on her feet halfway, biting her red lips, and her face was full of struggle.
"The concubine has seen the prince."
didn't wait for Hai Lanzhu to figure out how to explain to Hongqing, and saw that Hongqing had steadily walked out from behind the screen.
"Hmm."
Hongqing glanced at Hai Lanzhu expressionlessly, but did not say anything, walked to the side of the bed by herself, lifted the hem of her robe, and sat down, her expression was extremely indifferent, although she was speechless, but this gesture clearly declared that Hongqing was extremely dissatisfied in her heart.
"Lord, you listen to the concubine's explanation, this matter, ah, this thing is completely accidental, the concubine did not think that His Majesty would give marriage, originally planned to wait for Xiao Xuanwu High School in Ming Chun, and then slowly think about it, but ......"
Hai Lanzhu knows that the relationship between herself and Hongqing is not deep, not to mention compared with Qian'er, it is inferior to Cao Shuang'er, the reason why she can become Fujin is all because of Dong E's strong support, otherwise, the identity of this Fujin is really difficult to take her turn on Hai Lanzhu's head, at this time, seeing Hongqing's indifferent expression, Hai Lanzhu's heart immediately panicked, and she explained incoherently, but the more she explained, the more she seemed to be empty-hearted, and at the end, Hai Lanzhu herself didn't know how to say it.
"Okay, very good, you dare to do such things without telling this king, so what else do you dare not do? Never thought about it? I never thought about it! Have any of my own children been able to do the marriage of the Lord? You're good, just fooling around, and really think that this king can do anything, huh? ”
Hongqing was very angry, not angry at the trouble of this matter, but angry at Hai Lanzhu's deception, no side, if he had known that Ihana had a sweetheart, Hongqing would have managed to fulfill one or two as soon as possible, and would not have gotten into such a tricky situation as it is now, this time it's good, even Dong E's family has been mixed in, one is not handled well, Prince Cheng's Mansion is going to let the world see the joke, if it is used by the fourth master and the eighth master, the consequences are really not easy to play, as soon as I think of this, Hongqing's heart can't help but be annoyed, The words are very important.
"The prince is angry, the concubine knows that she is wrong, this matter is indeed the concubine's inconsiderateness, the prince wants to be punished, and the concubine does not dare to resign, but Nana is hard, if there is a mistake, the concubine will be unable to escape the blame for her death, and please try to mediate it."
was scolded by Hongqing like this, even though Hai Lanzhu's tears flowed, but she didn't say anything for herself, but sincerely asked Hongqing to help Ihanna.
"That's it, the king will do what he can, and if he can't do it, the king will never allow it, and then take care of the inner courtyard, and don't mix the things outside, like this, the king doesn't want to have a next time, so he can do it himself!"
With the experience of two lifetimes, Hongqing doesn't know that women have two hobbies, either being a mother or being a matchmaker, throughout the ages, but any normal woman is a virtue, but this kind of thing is placed in ordinary people's homes, but it is no problem, even if something goes wrong, it is not a big deal, but in the heavenly family, nothing will be a trivial matter, Hongqing didn't want to care about such mother-in-law and mother's affairs before, but now that she has opened the house independently, the rules that should be established, Hongqing has to be good to set up a time.
"Yes, the concubine has memorized it."
Hai Lanzhu is actually very aggrieved in her heart, that's right, she knew about Ihanna's affair early in the morning, and she also pulled Ihana to the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, but this affair was not her thread, it was really Ihana herself who fell in love with Xiao Xuanwu, Hai Lanzhu didn't know it until more than a month, but she didn't think too deeply, and secondly, she didn't expect the old man to suddenly come to a peace discussion, which would make it into the current troublesome situation, the reason why she chose to help Ihana this time, Of course, there is the idea of sympathizing with Ihanna's suffering, but it is not the result of Dong E's hint, but Hai Lanzhu doesn't want to say it, facing Hongqing's harsh criticism at this time, although she is wronged, she still respectfully responds, not for anything else, just because she knows very well that Hongqing has a good temperament, if she really has a conflict with Hongqing at this time, not only will she not be able to help Ihanna, but even she herself is in danger of being left out.
"Well, just remember, let's just say that since you have met that Xiao Gongzi, tell this king about your impression of him."
Hai Lanzhu is Fujin after all, Hongqing doesn't want to make the relationship between husband and wife too tense, since what should be said has already been said, Hongqing doesn't want to talk more, and with a wave of his hand impatiently, he can be regarded as revealing the matter, and then asked about Xiao Xuanwu and his affairs.
"Back to the prince's words, the concubine has indeed seen Xiao Gongzi a few times, but there is not much contact, if you want to say the impression, it is generally from Nana's sister, I only know that he is funny and talented, and his appearance is also the best choice, according to Nana's sister, Xiao Xuanwu did not know the true identity of Nana's sister earlier, and after getting along with each other for a while, Nana's sister told each other the truth, but she didn't see any emotion, and she thought that there should be true love between each other."
Seeing that Hongqing's face had eased slightly, Hai Lanzhu's anxious heart was a little calmer, and she hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears on her face, and hurriedly told her what she knew.
"Well, it's not too early, let's rest."
Hongqing quietly listened to Hai Lanzhu's explanation, but did not comment, nor did she ask any further questions, just said noncommittally, and then waved her hand and commanded in an unquestionable tone.
"Someone, wait for the prince to change his clothes."
Hai Lanzhu was originally full of hope that Hongqing could give a promise, but when she saw that Hongqing didn't want to talk about it anymore, she didn't dare to talk any more, so she got up busily, raised her voice and called out her voice......
The second day of the Lunar New Year is busy as usual, fortunately, compared to the first day of the Lunar New Year, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Hongqing only needs to sit and wait at home, and the courtiers who are close to him have come to visit, even so, most of the day is busy surviving, Hongqing is still tired enough, not to say, just the nonsense of greetings I don't know how much, the throat is already painful, until after Shen Shi, the crowd of visitors is gradually subsiding, Hongqing, who has been empty, has time to change into civilian clothes, leading Li Minxing and others out of the back door, Take a horse-drawn carriage and go straight to the Suzhou Guild Hall.
"Subordinates knock on the prince!"
After getting the land, Hongqing just got out of the carriage, and a plainclothes palace guard who had been monitoring outside the Suzhou Hall for a long time greeted the general manager, and respectfully saluted.
"Excuse me, what about the people?"
Hongqing's throat was uncomfortable, so he didn't want to say more, so he just nodded, and then asked concisely.
"Back to the prince, that person has always been in the hall and has never been out."
Since Hongqing had a question, the general didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and answered.
"Well, go, call that kid from Cheng Tan."
Hongqing snorted noncommittally, looked up at the gate of the Suzhou Hall not far away, raised his eyebrows, and ordered in a slightly cold voice.
"Wow!"
As soon as he heard this order, the guard did not dare to delay a little, and hurriedly answered, and then hurried to a private house not far away.
"Brother-in-law, ah, no, the third-class guard Cheng Qin of the lower official Da Nei knocked to see the prince."
Cheng Qin's family lineage, you are the grandson of the scholar of the dynasty, and he made up for the lack in the inner guards early, young and handsome, and quite literary, and his poetry is quite good, known as the first genius of the Manchu people after Nalan Rongruo, in the past, he treated people and things, and was always a polite and humble gentleman image, but in front of Hongqing, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, no, he just called his brother-in-law, and was swept away by Hongqing's cold gaze, and his handsome face turned white in an instant, and he fell to the ground in a hurry, and made a big salute tremblingly.
"You bring this king in!"
For Cheng Qin, a slightly frivolous brother-in-law, Hongqing doesn't have too much good feelings, of course, it doesn't mean that he has a bad feeling, no side, who hasn't been too young and crazy, like his family background, can make a wide range of literary friends, it is already good, moreover, for Hai Lanzhu's sake, Hongqing was also very kind to him in the past, but at this time, because of Ihanna's incident, Hongqing couldn't help but be a little angry with him, and he wouldn't give him a good look, and the words he commanded were full of impatience.
"Oh, lord, please."
Cheng Qin has been in the noble circle since he was small, and his ability to observe his face and color is not bad, this time he saw that Hongqing's voice was not good, and his heart couldn't help but be worried, but how dare he have any complaints, so he could only respond respectfully, waved his hand, and led Hongqing to the Suzhou Hall not far away......
