Chapter 47: See your in-laws
At this moment, the State of Chu to the east of the Lan State also took the opportunity to raise troops and forced the defenders (the defender of this city was Zhen Rong's cousin Hang Ji) to release Sima Zhen Rong. In order not to have a head-on conflict, Hang Ji had to write a letter to the emperor, what should I do about this matter? To fight, or not to fight.
In fact, if Zhen Rong knew now that they used her army to attack the Lan Kingdom, she would never forgive them.
At this time, the Liyang Palace's palace was brightly lit, and Mu Lingfeng, who had found an excuse to go back to the study, saw his secret guard, and after listening to his reply, he couldn't help but be curious, so he got up and prepared to see if things were as he said.
When he arrived at the new room, he opened the door, and at a glance he saw a mess on the table, and then, looking to the right, he saw that someone was sleeping in an extremely indecent position, one leg fell on the edge of the bed, revealing the white and tender skin on her thighs, and the other foot was covered with a quilt, and her hands were spread out into a large font.
When Mu Lingfeng saw this scene, as his secret guard said, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For the first time in his life, he felt a speechless urge to look at the sky.
When he entered, he saw the flask beside the table, and the chicken bones and the bones of the pig's trotter flower that had been eaten on the ground, and the same was true on the plate on the table, except for the fish bones and duck bones that were left after eating. He wanted to ask God if he had a wife or a child, otherwise how could he have made the room so bad.
He walked over to the bed, put her legs on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.
At this time, he looked at the delicate and translucent face in front of him because of the wine, and smiled helplessly for the first time.
The personal guard Jing Yun standing outside the door was as surprised as Columbus discovered the New World, their prince had just appeared with a helpless expression, he was not mistaken! The prince who has always only smiled and shown people, but in fact has a black belly, will be helpless to people! He couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the concubine of our family is still powerful, and as soon as she got married, her grandfather had other expressions.
Zhen Rong was in her sleep, and she chirped her mouth, muttering in passing, "It tastes good." ”
Mu Lingfeng, who was sitting, heard her words and showed a sincere smile for the first time, he didn't expect that she was also thinking about food in her sleep. He used to laugh, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, just the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, which was a kind of fake smile.
Seeing this, Jingyun was even more shocked, their prince really smiled, no longer a standard smile, but a comfortable real smile. He felt that he must have a problem with his eyes, he must have seen it wrong, so he pinched his eyes, and he was looking, yes, it was true, and his family was indeed smiling sincerely.
Mu Lingfeng, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, saw that she stretched out her hand again, so she had to put her hand into the quilt again.
Then he got up and went to the couch, took off his boots, and at the same time changed out of his groom's wedding dress, put on a white robe, and slept on the couch.
Jingyun saw that his prince was sleeping in the new house, and there should be nothing wrong, besides, there were people who protected the prince in secret, so he also left and ran back to sleep.
The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, a certain woman got up. And Mu Lingfeng on the small couch had already gotten up and went to see his father and mother.
When she got up, she was still not used to the unfamiliar environment in front of her, she stayed for a few seconds before she realized the fact that she had married to the Liyang Palace.
At this moment, Yuxuan and Yulan opened the door and entered, one carrying a washbasin and the other a wooden plate containing a mouthwash cup and a jar of salt, and a toothbrush.
This ancient tool for brushing your teeth was so rough that one brush would give you a toothache for days, so she made her own toothbrush.
Zhen Rong asked, "What should I do next?" She used to remember that when she first married in the Chu State, she was supposed to go to see her mother-in-law the next day.
Yuxuan's soft voice, "Girl, no, it should be the princess, and then the princess should go to meet her in-laws and give them tea." ”
Zhen Rong nodded knowingly.
When she finished grooming and went to the place where the old prince lived, she listened to the guard's report, "The old prince went to the court, but the old princess worshiped the Buddha in the Buddhist hall." The guards replied truthfully.
Zhen Rong had no choice but to go to the Buddha hall, and sure enough, she saw the old princess kneeling in front of the Buddha statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, chanting scriptures in her mouth, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and a scripture book in front of her.
When the old princess's personal maid saw me, she bowed her head and whispered to her, "Princess, the princess has arrived!" ”
When the princess heard this, she opened her eyes, got up and walked in front of me, with a charitable face, ready to salute me, I immediately stopped her, "Princess, no, mother, don't give it to me in the future, no, my daughter-in-law saluted, I, no, my daughter-in-law is just a junior, it should be my daughter-in-law who salutes my mother." She really doesn't fit into her identity now, and she says the wrong thing again and again.
When the old princess heard what she said, she was a little relieved, she thought that her son had married a woman with a higher status than him, this person was a princess, and she would inevitably be arrogant and unreasonable, but she didn't expect that she was so modest and decent, without the slightest pampering of a princess.
Zhen Rong helped the old princess to the table in front of her and sat down, and then commanded, "Yuxuan." Yuxuan understood.
Zhen Rong took the tea in Yuxuan's hand, with a modest smile on her face, knelt down to serve tea, "Mother, please use tea!" She really didn't like kneeling, but she had to.
With a loving smile on her face, the old princess took the tea in her hand, took a sip lightly, and then handed it to the personal maid next to her.
Of course, the old princess knew that his son did not like the person in front of her, but she believed that in time, her unenlightened son would definitely like her.
The woman in front of her is smiling, her beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and her coquettish appearance is moving, so that as a woman, she can't help but be moved, let alone a man? Moreover, the woman in front of her also had a smile that made people warm like a spring breeze.
The old princess took off a jade bracelet on her wrist, which had been with her for twenty-four years, when she first married into the palace, her mother took it off her wrist and put it on her wrist.
The old princess, like her mother, put the jade bracelet on her wrist.
The old princess helped me up, and then, with an affectionate smile on her face, "Child, in the future, I will treat the palace as my home, and if I don't understand or have difficulties, I will come to my mother, you know?" ”
I nodded slightly.
Then, she said, "Okay, go about your business!" As a mother, she is still chanting scriptures. ”
Zhen Rong nodded, and then left the temple.
As soon as she came out, she immediately looked like a wild horse on the loose, with a joyful expression on her face, "Oops! Yuxuan, or the air outside is fresher, you don't know, I was suffocated just now, and I almost went crazy. ”
She sighed for a moment, and then said: "No, Yuxuan, Yulan, if every time I meet the old princess in the future, don't I have to pretend to be decent and dignified, then it's strange if I don't go crazy, it seems that when I see the old princess in the future, I'd better walk around!"
When the two of them heard this, their faces were full of black lines, and they walked around, and the old princess is not a plague or a man-eating monster, girl, are you sure you want to do that.
The secret guard who was secretly monitoring also heard this, and he was also speechless, especially when he saw the gentle and dignified appearance of the princess just now, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes last night, he would have been deceived.
Zhen Rong felt terrifying when she thought about it, so she shook her head, thinking to herself, yes, just decided to bypass her.
Because Sima Xunye had made a decree, Mu Lingfeng would only use it to go to the morning court on the day when Zhen Rong returned to the door, so at this moment, he was sitting in his study, thinking about what happened last night, and couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.
Jing Yun next to him saw his own prince smirking there, he felt that the prince was not crazy, or had a fever, but he didn't dare to express his doubts.
On the other side, after Sima Xunye received the letter, he ordered the defenders in the north to do their best to meet the battle, and at the same time issued an order to let Hang Ji in the east prepare for the battle seriously.
