Chapter 281: Autumn Fragrance?
There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year, and the Prince's Palace, which has been built for nearly half a year, has finally been completed with the meticulous work of craftsmen.
The emperor sent people to arrange the convoy of the palace and the subordinates who gave it to the palace, and they also calculated the time and entered Kuwu Island on time.
Xichun and Wuying, as the right-hand men beside the prince and the princess, are responsible for arranging the affairs of the palace.
A cart of rosewood furniture, Su embroidered brocade quilt. Boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and clothing, daily silverware, and dozens of large pieces made of mink, otter skin, and fox skin were carried into the mansion and distributed to various courtyards through the hands of Xichun and Wuying.
The mountain-like things that Su Muling bought in the mutual market also entered the palace.
After half a month of busy work, Prince Ning's Mansion finally welcomed its masters, Wang Ye Xiao Wenxuan and Princess Su Muling, on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
With the housewarming and Chinese New Year's Eve, Prince Ning's Mansion was really lively for a day.
The officials of Kuwu Island and the prefect Li Jin all came to congratulate him with gifts.
Xiao Wenxuan asked Wuying to accept the gift and return the gift, and did not leave anyone to eat.
First, he doesn't like to be sent to this kind of entertainment, and second, on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is anxious to go home for reunion.
Li Jin did not leave after congratulating himself like everyone else, but stayed at the end.
When Xiao Wenxuan raised his leg to leave, Li Jin called him: "Lord, the next official congratulates the prince on moving to a new house." ”
"Master Xie Li."
Xiao Wenxuan replied and was about to go into the backyard, but was stopped by Li Jin again.
"Wang Ye, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve. Xiaguan ...... The lower official wants to see Yan'er, but I don't know if the prince can do it? ”
Xiao Wenxuan looked back at him and nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, let's see." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your kindness." Li Jin was so excited that he almost knelt down for Xiao Wenxuan.
Waiting for Xiao Wenxuan to disappear into the second door, Li Jin hurriedly called the shadowless who sent the guest. smiled at each other, and said politely: "Excuse me, I want to meet Li Yan'er." ”
Wuying paused, patted his head and opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "Qiu Xiang? ”
Li Jin gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, it's Qiu Xiang." ”
Wuying replied to him with an embarrassed face: "It's okay to see, but you have to go to the old mansion of the prince in the south of the city." ”
Li Jin was surprised: "She's not here?" ”
Wuying shook his head: "Princess Ning is pregnant and likes to be quiet. That's why the people in the house didn't bring all of them with them. ”
Li Jin's face suddenly darkened. He didn't say hello anymore, and went out directly.
Li Jin secretly scolded Su Muling all the way for leaving his daughter in the dilapidated old mansion. This clearly cuts off all the opportunities for Li Yan'er to climb to the prince.
When he arrived at the foot of Chengnan Mountain, Li Jin slammed the door loudly.
The doorkeeper opened the door and opened his eyes angrily: "What are you doing?" ”
Li Jin didn't say a word, and went straight to the courtyard: "Yan'er? Yeon'er? ”
Li Jin stood in the courtyard and shouted loudly, and Li Yan'er ran out when she heard the sound.
"Daddy, you're here. Daddy, they're all gone, leaving me and a few mothers-in-law behind. ”
"Daddy, didn't you say that I could live with the prince when the palace was built? But they didn't take me with them at all, and they even sent a mother-in-law to watch me. ”
"Daddy, I don't want to stay here anymore, you can take me home."
Li Yan'er threw herself into Li Jin's arms and cried in the snow.
Li Jin helped her up in distress and entered Li Yan'er's room. He looked at Li Yan'er from head to toe.
In just over two months, Li Yan'er has lost a lot of weight, her eyes are blue, her cheeks are sunken, her face is green, and she has aged a lot.
Li Jin draped the big coat on Li Yan'er, hugged her shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, Dad will take you home." ”
As soon as the two of them came out of the house, Li Feng stood at the gate with his hands in his hands. Seeing that there was no one next to their father and daughter, they couldn't help but snort coldly: "Master Li is too blind to no one." Do you dare to take the people in the prince's mansion without permission? ”
Li Jin was completely awakened by Li Feng's words.
Yes, Li Yan'er signed a contract with Su Muling and drew a pledge, so she took people away, and the prince pursued it, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around.
Li Jin's face was purple for a while, and finally turned pale.
He let go of Li Yan'er and comforted in a low voice: "Yan'er, dad is going to beg the prince to let you go home." You wait. ”
"Daddy, don't leave me."
Li Yan'er finally saw her relatives, where was she willing to let him go easily.
Li Jin didn't dare to snatch people from the prince's hands, so he could only comfort him?
In the end, with the help of Li Feng, it took a lot of effort to earn it from Li Yan'er's hands.
Li Jin didn't dare to stop all the way, and knocked on the gate of King Ning's Mansion again. This time he asked to see the princess Su Muling.
Su Muling was already more than seven months pregnant at this time, and when she heard that Li Jin asked to see her, she directly refused: "This princess is tired, and it is not suitable to meet guests." Let him have something to say to the prince. ”
Li Jin listened to Xichun's words and knew that Su Muling was unwilling to see him.
Also, the two of them are doing well, and he just wants his daughter to intervene. But whoever has a temper will not give him a good face. dog
Li Jin had no choice but to ask to see the prince.
Xiao Wenxuan hated him for being a toad and wanted to eat swan meat, and tried to destroy the relationship between him and Su Muling, but decisively refused.
Li Jin knew that Xiao Wenxuan was angry, and he was afraid that there would be no result if he waited any longer, so he had no choice but to come and go.
Li Jin returned to the town of Terling on the other side. Mrs. Jiang hurriedly pulled him to inquire about her daughter's news.
Li Jin took off his robe, sighed and sat down on the chair: "This daughter is raised for nothing." ”
Jiang Shi was confused, sat beside him busily, pulled his sleeve and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" How can it be raised for nothing? ”
Li Jin knew that he couldn't hide the matter, so he simply told her everything: "...... Originally, I thought that King Ning's Mansion would be completed, and Yan'er followed, and sooner or later there would be a chance to win the heart of the prince. I don't want Princess Ning to be a bad person, so she left Yan'er in the original dilapidated house and didn't allow her to go out. ”
"It's good now, the princess hates me, and the princess is afraid of the princess. Yan'er is afraid that she will die of old age, and there will be no future there......"
"You? You? You pay back my daughter...... You ghostly fool, let your daughter be a slave and a maid. My good daughter has ruined you like this...... My Yan'er...... My Hong'er, you bring Hong'er back to me. My daughter is gone, Hong'er doesn't recognize her home anymore, I, I can't live anymore......"
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household was happy, fireworks were flying all over the sky, but Li Jin was scolded by his wife to the point of blood.
In the capital, in the imperial palace. The day before Chinese New Year's Eve.
The emperor looked at the magnificent color, unique pattern, and large wool carpet sent back by Xiao Wenxuan in front of him, and smiled with crooked eyebrows.
Look at the exquisite workmanship and ingenuity of a set of tea sets, which I like to put down.
There are also special wines that have been exchanged from the country of Lolai. Two beautiful, colorful glass bead lamps.
The emperor picked up a crystal clear and dazzling pearl lamp and couldn't help but admire: "It's better to be safe and get me such rare things." ”
Gonggong An was unhappy on the side: "I heard that these things were personally selected for the emperor by Princess Ning with a belly that lasted six or seven months, braving the severe cold. ”
"Oh?"
The emperor was surprised. I felt a little more guilty about Su Muling in my heart.
thinks that he refused Xiao Wenxuan to marry her several times, and then ignored Su Muling's feelings and added people to Xiao Wenxuan's side.
Later, he threatened to kill Su Muling if he found her. made Su Muling flee the capital like a loser's dog. Su Muling was sick and the epidemic was in danger, but he covered the silk and refused to give it.
Now that Su Muling actually took the initiative to choose a New Year's gift for him, the emperor's old face was a little embarrassed.
Putting down the glass bead lamp in his hand, the emperor returned to the kang.
"What's the news from Matsue?"
"Back to the emperor, the princess's father plans to give birth to the princess after the year and go to Kuwu Island to visit. I heard that this time Su's father hired a big boat, and invited several well-known local dart bureaus to escort him, it seems that the ship is not only loaded with people, but also valuables. ”
"Valuables? Send someone to keep a closer eye and find out what is on board. ”
"Yes."
Father-in-law An should go down.
"Father."
Father-in-law An was just about to retreat, when the fifth prince walked in from outside.
He saluted the emperor, and his voice was loud: "Father, it is very rare for the sons to hear that Prince Ning has sent a New Year's gift, and the sons also want to see it." ”
Ever since the fifth prince was attacked and almost died, the emperor began to notice this prince who had been neglected.
Xiao Wenxuan's self-harm and leaving home made the emperor sad for a while, and it was the five princes who guarded him day and night, and the emperor gradually improved his mood by calling for warmth and warmth.
Several princes were exiled one by one, and they were imprisoned. Looking at the fifth prince, who was already thirteen years old and had grown a lot taller, new hope rose in the emperor's heart.
As a result, the emperor began to focus on cultivating the five princes. He also let him preside over some of the routine sacrificial activities of the imperial court. Every day, he personally asked the five princes about their homework.
For a while, the government and the opposition began to have whispers, and there were some bold people who directly visited the five princes and wanted to join the five princes.
The five princes have received unprecedented attention, and their self-confidence has doubled. I just heard that Xiao Wenxuan sent it to the emperor, so he came with him, wanting to see what Xiao Wenxuan sent from the bitter cold land.
"It's all in this house, and you have long eyes."
The emperor is happy today, and his tone is full of joy.
The fifth prince followed the guidance of Gonggong An to see the Luolai carpet that occupied almost the entire floor in the bedroom, as well as the brilliant glass bead lamps placed on the high table, and then looked at the exquisite and unique tea set on the round table on the ground to show the royal nobility, as well as the wine on the table......
The fifth prince's heart sank, but his face was joyful: "Prince Ning is really attentive, he can get so many treasures in such a bitter cold place." ”
"Yes, You'an has always been serious about being a man and doing things. is so far away, and specially sent henchmen to escort him personally. Ay! ”
Ming'er is Chinese New Year's Eve, if only You'an was there.
The emperor sighed silently, hearing that the ears of the five princes were so harsh.
He stabilized his mood and stepped forward to comfort: "Father is missing Prince Ning." It is better to wait for him to come back and report on his work, and then keep him for a few more days to comfort the pain of longing. ”
When the emperor heard this, his eyes immediately overflowed: "Okay, your proposal is very good, and I will call him back after the New Year." ”
"Your Majesty, Kuwu Island is far away from the mountains. Princess Ning is going to give birth again in April after the next year, and the emperor called the prince back at this time...... "Father-in-law An reminded in time.
The emperor patted his head: "Look at my memory." Yes, Princess Ning gave birth in April. At this time, it is not appropriate to call You'an back. "If you don't get it right, the father-son relationship that was supposed to ease will be tense again.
"Then let's wait and talk."
The emperor doesn't dare to treat Xiao Wenxuan toughly now, he understands that this son is not afraid of heaven and earth, and even he, the emperor, has nothing to do with him.
