054 Anxiety and loss
On an autumn afternoon, with yellow leaves all over the ground, Wang Jingshu and Zhu Pei got into the carriage together, bypassed the three palaces and six courtyards, followed the root of the city wall, and went all the way out of the imperial city.
It was the first time the couple had gone out together.
Go to Wang's house.
Originally, Wang Jingshu could go alone, but not long after, the queen specially summoned King Ning and asked Zhu Pei to go together. Maybe it was Wang Jingshu's words that woke him up that day, and he agreed to go without hesitation.
Sitting in the same not spacious carriage, the two were huddled together, Wang Jingshu always felt uncomfortable, this seemed to be the first time she was so close to him, she seemed cramped, and it was even more difficult to sit still.
"It's so dishonest to be moving around in the carriage. Like what words! ”
"Then you reprimanded the princess in the carriage, and the coachman listened to it, what are you talking like?"
Zhu Pei was choked. When did this woman act like this? In his impression, not to mention how she is in private, but she has always been dignified and decent on her face, how can there be such a time? His face sank, "It's a princess." Don't make people laugh. ”
After all, Wang Jingshu didn't want to defend anything, and she didn't want to cause any more disputes, so she responded obediently, "Yes." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage jolted.
Wang Jingshu couldn't sit still, and threw herself into Zhu Pei's arms, Zhu Pei hugged her tightly in order to prevent accidents, and at this moment, the two of them only had each other in their eyes.
It feels good to hold it, and it's quite round. Zhu Pei was anxious for a while, and Wang Jingshu's face was slightly red, but he still remained calm and calm, and immediately struggled out of his arms and sat upright.
"What's going on? Why did the carriage stop? Zhu Pei was amused when he saw her shyness, but he didn't pierce her, but opened the curtain, "Is there something going on ahead?" ”
The little guy Ah Guang said hesitantly, because he knew in his heart what the Chen Mansion meant to the prince, but in front of the princess, he didn't dare to tell the truth, and only replied ambiguously, "Back to the prince, the Chen Mansion in front of him seems to have something happened and is making trouble." ”
As soon as Zhu Pei heard that something had happened in the Chen Mansion, he panicked, looked down, turned his head and explained to Wang Jingshu, with a sigh of apology, "This king suddenly remembered that there was a little urgent matter that had not yet been dealt with, so you should go back to the Wang Mansion first." This king will come back when he has dealt with it. ”
Such a lame reason is also due to the fact that he can say it as a prince.
Wang Jingshu felt very uncomfortable at the moment, and rushed out, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhu Pei lowered his eyes, but he didn't dare to look at her, "It's important!" ”
Chen's Mansion... Two words... It was said that Wang Jingshu had all kinds of tastes in her heart, "Is there a girl named Er Yan in Chen's mansion?" The prince is anxious for her, isn't he? ”
She actually knew about Er Yan...... Zhu Pei was not shocked in his heart. How would she know about Er Yan? Where did she hear about Er Yan?
The doubts in Zhu Pei's heart were magnified. But at this moment, he didn't have the strength to care about this, he thought about it for a while, and immediately sank his face, "I don't have to report the king's affairs to you. Don't worry about me! ”
The atmosphere is like the warm sun in spring, and this time it will be frozen to the bottom of the lake, making people feel cold all over the body, and it will be piercing to the bone.
Wang Jingshu didn't have time to say anything, just watched him jump out of the carriage, and the back of the resolute departure was really like the night of the wedding. He didn't care about her face at all to take care of the affairs of the Chen Mansion?
What kind of woman is Chen Eryan, who cares about him, the prince, in public. She said everything in vain the first two days!
Wang Jingshu quietly lifted the curtain and looked at the direction of the Chen Mansion, through the mottled shadows of the branches, she could see the plaque of the Chen Mansion, and she could also see the eagerness in the heart of the prince, and she could also see her uneasiness and loss.
As soon as the prince left, even Ah Guang followed. Mama Huifen saw that something was wrong, and greeted her master through the curtain, "Master, what's going on?" Are you angry with the prince? ”
Mama Huifen really can't figure it out, how could it suddenly become like this? Just now, she also heard the Chen Mansion...... I was stunned, could it be that this matter has something to do with the Chen Mansion? "Master, do you want the eldest prince to check this Chen Mansion?" The eldest prince in her mouth is Wang Huizhi.
"Go to Wang's Mansion." Only three words, and there was a hint of irritation in her tone.
The carriage continued to move forward, and Wang Jingshu sat steadily, but her mind was not in the car. Suddenly, I was a little greedy for the warmth in the arms of the prince just now.
However, I haven't entered Wang's Mansion for three months, and I don't feel much about home on weekdays, but at this moment, Wang Jingshu misses everything at home. All the way urging the carriage to move faster.
The carriage bypassed the bustling street market, and arrived at the corner gate of Wangfu after about half an hour, Wang Jingshu got down from the carriage, and a maid at the corner gate immediately invited An and led her to the main hall, she felt as if she was a guest at home. Before reaching the main hall, I saw the sound of greeting.
The step-wife Han had already received the news, and led the family to kneel down to welcome Princess Ning.
"The courtier, Wang Han, and the people in the house greet Princess Ning's mother-"
Wang Jingshu sighed again and again that this battle was too big, how could she do it like this when she just went home, it seemed that she was a concubine. However, she was quickly relieved, and just then she quickly sent a message to inform Wang Fu that King Ning was coming, but I was afraid that it was because of King Ning that it was so grand. They were all there to welcome King Ning. But in the future, it seems that she is going to find excuses again.
She walked to the main hall in three steps and two steps, the pearl pendant in her ear shook gently in the wind, and she personally helped Han up, according to the rules of the monarch and minister, she called Mrs., "Madame, get up," This is the heavenly family, and even what to call must be different from the monarch and the minister. Immediately, he casually excused everyone's salute, "Get up, all." ”
"Thank you, Princess."
Everyone got up and stood according to the rules, and listened to Han's bowing head, "The courtiers have been waiting for a long time, and they also invite the princess to take a seat." ”
Wang Jingshu had not seen her father as far as her eyes could see, her expression was gloomy, and she returned to normal for a moment, "Madame, you don't have to be polite, I came to Wang's Mansion this time to listen to the instructions of the queen mother, and find some new things in the folk for the imperial grandmother to enjoy." ”
"Then please take a break from the princess, and the three ministers will immediately go to the market glass shop to buy some new things to bring, and ask the princess to present them to the queen mother on her behalf."
"Please sit down for a moment."
With the help of Wang Huizhi and Wang Luzhi, this matter is naturally easy to do. As soon as Wang Jingshu agreed, they immediately retired.
Wang Jingshu became a guest, and the ladies in the house all sat together, seeing that they were beaming, they took a sip of Xinyang Maojian, this tea is fresh, and it is a good tea for guests in the house, "What, is there a happy event at home?" I see you all smiling. ”
"Back to the princess, there is indeed a happy event at home recently, and I am thinking about someone to deliver you a letter, but I didn't think you would come." Han replied respectfully, "The first case is that Miss Lingyi's marriage with the son of the Qin family has been decided, she is waiting to be married in our Wang family, and the Wang family in the north will send a dowry." The second case is that the young lady is pregnant, almost two months. ”
Wang Jingshu was surprised and surprised, "But really? ”
Wang Lingyi's matter, she is still a matchmaker.
My sister-in-law is pregnant, won't she be an aunt soon?
Wang Lingyi and Su Zhimei got up and responded, "Back to the princess, there is indeed something going on." ”
The Wang family was happy, Wang Jingshu was overjoyed, and swept away the loneliness when she came, "Sit down quickly, talk to your family, don't be so restrained." ”
The two sat down according to the rules. Wang Jingshu became a princess, and the jokes among the ladies in the house were not the same as in the past, and occasionally they didn't dare to talk and joke. However, Wang Jingshan was still as bold as before and ran into Wang Jingshu's arms to be coquettish, "Sister, big sister." You haven't been back for a long time, I asked A-Niang. A-Niang said that you are married, and you have a brother-in-law to live in your brother-in-law's house. But why didn't my brother-in-law come? I don't seem to have seen him before. ”
The last time she went back to the door, Jingshan didn't even eat at the table when she was young, so naturally she didn't see her, let alone the prince. It's easy to forget the sense of loss of Fang Cai, and I remember it again in an instant. He's going to deal with the affairs of the Chen Mansion.
When Han heard this, he was so frightened that he pulled Wang Jingshan out of Wang Jingshu's arms, and immediately asked the maid to take Jingshan away. My sister and brother-in-law said this when she coaxed the child, and the child said it like this, "Princess, courtier......"
"The prince was originally coming, but suddenly there was an urgent matter to deal with, so I had to come alone."
Han Shi couldn't say anything else, so he finally answered, "Yes." ”
The atmosphere was silent all at once.
There was not a moment, there was no one else, Wang Jingshu asked the question in her heart, "Chen Mansion, which one is it?" ”
Han was at a loss for a while, although she was a foreign wife, she was a step-room after all, and her out-of-town entertainment was limited. Chen Mansion, I don't know which Chen Mansion you are asking? And sitting under her was the second young lady You Shi, and she had the courage to ask: "Which Chen Mansion is the princess talking about?" Although I have been at home for a long time, I also know that there are two Chen mansions in Kyoto, both of which are scholarly families. ”
What's the matter, it's good to ask Chen Fu?
Su Zhimei guessed some of the reasons, Queen Ning's backyard is going to add a new person again, right? "There are indeed two Chen mansions in Kyoto, one is the Suzhou and Hangzhou Chen Mansion where the old man Chen was promoted from a foreign official to a Beijing official and settled in Kyoto. The other is ......"
You snatched her words, "Another Chen Mansion, no one has been an official yet, the ancestors have been Kyoto people for generations, and they have always been scholarly, and it is said that they are very high, and they don't want to insult the reputation of scholars for officials." Therefore, the princess did not know that there were also some. ”
Wang Jingshu felt that this Chen Mansion was more like the Chen Mansion of Miss Er Yan, "His family, has something happened recently?" "The Suzhou and Hangzhou Chen Mansion should not be what King Ning likes.
"I haven't heard of it."
Han silently kept the Chen Mansion in mind, and rushed Ming'er to check this Chen Mansion carefully, what was hidden in it? Immediately flatteringly asked: "Princess, do you want to check the Chen Mansion?" ”
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, although Wang Jingshu did not compare the girl Chen Eryan who had not yet met to an enemy, but she took precautions. It seems that it is unintentional but actually intentional, the helplessness that can't be hidden from the corner of his eyes, and he whispered: "There's no need to check it, just pay attention to one or two on weekdays." I heard that there is a girl in the Chen Mansion, who is very good. ”
All of a sudden, the ladies in the house understood it all in their hearts.
It was not easy for this princess to live in the palace, it must be that King Ning paid attention to the girls in the Chen Mansion, otherwise she would not have deliberately mentioned it.
