Chapter Ninety-Six. The husband followed her back to her parents' house
Almond wrapped her cloak and curled up in the corner of the bed, listening intently to all the movements.
At this time, the night was deep, silent, and only the faint chirping of insects could be heard.
She listened carefully for a long time, and was ready to summon someone in to catch the thief as soon as there was any movement.
As a result, there was no movement for a long time.
Almond sat on the bed, alert at first, but slowly, his vision gradually blurred.
"You dog general, come quickly...... I'll just ...... Let the dog bite you......"
She muttered in a daze, her head tilted, and finally she couldn't help but fall asleep.
Half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to be laid flat on the bed, and her body was covered with a quilt.
The next day, Almond woke up under the covers.
She bent herself on and noticed that something was wrong.
"Huh? Didn't I sleep in the corner of my bed last night? How could it be ......"
How can you lie in the middle of the bed with a quilt on your body?!
Could it be that she was too cold in the middle of the night and unknowingly rolled into the quilt?
And the man on the roof last night, is it really Li Chen?
Almond thought strangely, and Cuizhu knocked on the door outside.
"Xue Fei Niangniang, are you awake? His Majesty is already waiting in the antechamber. ”
Almond came back to his senses and quickly answered.
"Wake up, wake up! I'll get up right away! ”
After speaking, she quickly got up from the bed, put on her clothes first, and then called Cuizhu in.
Cuizhu took the basin of water, served almonds and wiped her face and rinsed her mouth, and let a few little palace maids who specialized in makeup and hair into the house.
Seeing that these people were about to put on makeup for her again, Almond quickly stopped them.
"No...... No more! ”
She's going home today, so what are you doing with heavy makeup?
And this dress, she has to change it when she goes out.
She can't go home in a palace dress, let alone say that she is now a concubine.
Under Almond's strong refusal, several palace maids finally gave up.
Almond took the packed package in her hand and prepared to go to the front room.
As she left, she subconsciously glanced directly above the bath, only to see that there was no vacancy there, as if everything she saw last night was an illusion.
The antechamber of the Snow Yang Palace
Sheng Jingyu had been waiting for a while, and was drinking tea at this time.
When I saw Almond who came in a hurry, I was a little surprised that she was so fast.
"You've got it all packed?"
"Uh-huh, Your Majesty, let's go."
This time they didn't bring anyone with them, and Sheng Jingyu didn't take Zhu Shi with them, so they only took a few disguised guards and left the palace.
Almond sat in the carriage and looked back, only to notice that suddenly there were many more people following the carriage.
They were dressed like ordinary people, and they should be the ones who secretly protected Sheng Jingyu.
That's right, the emperor is privately patrolling, how can there be no one to protect him?
Just take a few guards, if the enemy knows about it, isn't it in danger?
Almond lowered the curtains, already aware of it.
"Your Majesty, shall we go to my house now?"
"Didn't you say you were going to see a mansion? Let's go see it first. ”
Almond nodded, and suddenly had a feeling that her husband would accompany her back to her parents' house after getting married.
She was secretly amused, but when she thought about it, it was true.
She is now Sheng Jingyu's concubine, isn't that her husband accompanying her back to her parents' house?
Thinking about it, Almond laughed softly.
Sheng Jingyu glanced at her, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly.
"So happy?"
"Huh? Be...... Yes. ”
Almonds are even more funny, but they only dare to steal fun.
She was afraid that Sheng Jingyu would turn her face on the spot and not take her home.
The carriage stopped in front of a house, Sheng Jingyu got out of the car first, and then took the almonds.
Almond looked at the luxurious mansion in front of him, and was a little flustered.
"Your Majesty, this ...... I can't afford that! Shall we change the one? ”
After saying that, she grabbed him by the sleeve and wanted to retreat.
She only has a few hundred taels of silver on her, and this mansion, I'm afraid it will cost thousands of taels to afford it, right?
Sheng Jingyu was unmoved, but firmly led her forward.
"I'm also the king of a country, wouldn't it be a joke if I said that my concubine couldn't even afford a house?"
Almond was helpless, "But I really can't afford it." ”
Sheng Jingyu glanced at her, "You can't afford it, can I still afford it?" ”
……
Your Majesty means that...... Be...... He's going to give her a house?
Almond is embarrassed, feeling that he has no merit and no virtue, and he can't afford such a favor.
She muttered quietly, "That's not good......"
"One day husband and wife for 100 days, it should be regarded as a dowry gift for you."
Sheng Jingyu had a smile in her eyes, obviously teasing her.
Almond was now able to keep her face from blushing and her heart from beating, and she pouted and stopped talking.
This is cheap for nothing, since His Majesty has to send it, then she will accept it.
They walked to the door and knocked on the mahogany door.
It didn't take long for footsteps to open the door.
"You are ......"
An old man with gray hair opened the door and looked at them with wide eyes for a long time.
"Is it Sheng Gongzi?"
"Exactly."
Sheng Jingyu nodded, the old man understood, let them enter the courtyard, and led the way in front.
Almond was curious, looking at this posture, His Majesty had already understood it before.
This time, is it to take her to see this courtyard?
Almond thought, following the old man, looking at the mansion.
The house looks like it's been uninhabited for a while, but it should still be tended to every day, and it doesn't look deserted.
The layout of the courtyard and the layout of the room look very simple and relaxed, with a kind of scholarly and elegant atmosphere.
This made Almond a little curious, what kind of people lived in this house before.
The old man took them around and solved the almonds' confusion.
"This piece of forest was planted by our master to change feng shui, Sheng Gongzi must remember that you can't move the soil at will."
Sheng Jingyu seemed to be a little interested and asked.
"Lord Liu still believes this?"
The old man smiled bitterly, "The master has only started to believe in the past few years." The lord of this mansion originally didn't want to sell it, but he was afraid of touching the scene, so he couldn't bear to cut his love. ”
Sheng Jingyu let out a faint "um", but Almond was very curious, touching the scene and feeling what happened.
But this kind of thing must not be asked, so she can only hold back her curiosity in her heart.
After looking at it for a while, Almond was very satisfied with this house.
Sheng Jingyu also felt that it was okay, and he had to sign the note without saying a word.
Almonds looked at the note, and the amount of silver taels that needed to be paid was as high as 1,500 taels!
She was a little hesitant and wanted to see more, but she listened to Sheng Jingyu.
"If you think you can, you can buy it, and you don't have to think about it so much."
As he spoke, he signed the note without hesitation.
Almond actually thought it was very good, and he hesitated for a moment and didn't stop Sheng Jingyu.
Sheng Jingyu beckoned, and the disguised guard behind him took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to the old man in front of him.
The old man counted it, nodded and accepted it, and handed the title deed to Sheng Jingyu.
