Chapter 580: Coming to the door
Chu Junlan nodded and said, "You did a good job, it's not too early, you two should rest too, you don't need to go to the night today." ”
"The princess is also tired, don't sit still, and rest early." Zi Yuan and Zi Yan also came to help Chu Junlan.
Chu Junlan was actually completely sleepy, but the two girls were like this, Chu Junlan couldn't bear to brush off their kindness, so he had to smile and say, "Okay, okay, let's go and rest." ”
Just lying on the stepping bed, holding the soft quilt, Chu Junlan was still staring at the top of the tent in a daze.
The situation in Huaijing is really getting more and more confusing.
Prince Gong disappeared for no reason, and King Huai'an didn't know what kind of madness he smoking, so he tore his face with Prince Gong's mansion, and the ladies and Prince Gong's children were all arrested and put under house arrest, even if Chu Junlan didn't care about the lives of those people, but after all, they were all Xiao Xu's family.
She is the eldest daughter-in-law, and now that Xiao Xu is not here, she has the obligation to protect the safety of these people, and when Xiao Xu arrives in Huaijing, she will hand over these people to Xiao Xu intact. If she couldn't do this, she felt that it was her own mistake.
It's just that Xiao Yunchang left the capital at that time, and Li Hui came forward to exchange with her to save him, but she secretly poisoned Xiao Yunchang. That poison is enough for Xiao Yunchang to drink a pot, he can live until now is already fateful, he still has the ability to order someone to come to her to make a mistake?
Chu Junlan pretended to be full of doubts and fell asleep unconsciously.
In the early morning of the next day, Chu Junlan had dinner, and then instructed Mao Quan, the chief housekeeper of the palace: "You hand over a post to the Huai'an Palace, and say that I want to ask to see the King of Huai'an, and ask if I can see him today." ”
Mao Quanting's heart was beating suddenly, and he stammered with worry and fear: "Princess Shizi, you, it's better for you to rest assured in the mansion, the princess, the young master and the young lady haven't gone home yet, if you go and you are left as a guest, how can it be called a small one." ”
Chu Junlan sneered when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "You just have to rest assured, just do as I say." I'm going to visit Zhengda Guangguang next post, do they dare to detain me? ”
Why don't you dare?
Mao Quan slandered in his heart, if the Huai'an Royal Mansion didn't dare, then what happened to the princess?
It's just that although Chu Junlan is young and looks weak and easy-going, the wisdom and determined tone in her eyebrows are convincing, even if Mao Quan has different ideas in his heart, he doesn't dare to disobey her on his face, so he has to say respectfully: "Yes, the villain will do it immediately." ”
Mao Quan saluted, then quickly retreated, and personally sent the post to the Huai'an Royal Mansion in the small county town in the northeast of Huaijing.
Chu Junlan calmly looked through the medical books in the mansion while waiting for the news.
By noon, Maoquan had rushed back.
"Back to the princess, the king of Huai'an is not in the mansion now, but the princess of the king of Huai'an took your post and invited you to come to the mansion at any time to be a guest."
Chu Junlan nodded idly: "You have worked hard." Go and rest. ”
Mao Quan wiped a handful of sweat, it's okay to work hard, but the important thing is that this errand may cost his life, it's too scary!
When Mao Quan went out with shaking hands and sweat with a handkerchief, Ziyuan asked worriedly: "Princess Shizi, do you plan to go to the Huai'an Palace?" The slave and maid looked at the head of Mao with that frightened look, this is not the capital after all, the king of Huai'an behaves so perversely, he must have no fear......"
Chu Junlan smiled and patted Ziyuan's hand comfortingly: "You can rest assured, you won't make such a fuss, even if the King of Huai'an really plans to tear his face with the palace, he will definitely find a reason, such as inviting our daughters to be guests, with my ability, if they want to stop me from leaving, it will take a lot of effort." ”
Zi Yuan nodded, and then said: "Princess, the slaves and maids are waiting for you outside the door, lest there be a case that will hold you back." ”
Chu Junlan smiled: "It's okay." You can just wait for me at home. ”
When Chu Junlan went out, he only brought Huo Yeqing a retinue, and he simply didn't take the carriage, but ordered two horses to come.
Chu Junlan wore a ivory-white brocade cloak with a gray squirrel fur collar, and the luster of the brocade in the sun echoed a matte light with the shiny fur of the jujube red horse, making her posture more and more heroic when she sat on the horse.
The two walked through the noisy streets, chose a sparsely populated path, and rushed out of Huaijing City, and then headed to Huai'an County in the northeast.
The fief of the king of Huai'an is rich, and the palace is located in the county seat of Huai'an, and the two of them rode horses, and the speed was much faster than the carriage, but they came to the county seat of Huai'an at ten o'clock in the afternoon.
There are only two spacious main streets in the county, standing in front of the city gate tower, you can see the majestic and spacious Huai'an County Palace.
Chu Junlan slowed down his horse's speed, turned around and instructed Huo Yeqing: "What I am going to meet later is the princess of Huai'an, they are all female dependents, it is inconvenient for you to go with you, so stay outside and wait for me, if there is anything, you can also respond." ”
"Yes." Huo Yeqing knew Chu Junlan's ability, so naturally he didn't have a mother-in-law, and neatly led the horse and waited on the side.
Chu Junlan walked quickly to the door and gave Menzi a silver ingot as a reward: "Let's just say that Prince Gong's princess asks to see the princess of the house." ”
Menzi got the silver, put it into his arms generously, and said with a smile: "Prince Gong, princess, please." ”
Chu Junlan bowed his head and followed Menzi into the door, and even though the housekeeper came up to greet him, he politely led Chu Junlan to the main hall for entertaining guests.
In the middle of the main hall, there is a high hollow carved stove, which is burning with silver frost charcoal, and a maid brings a black lacquer tea tray, puts a delicate blue and white porcelain three-color bowl on the square table, and then bows and retreats.
Chu Junlan stood beside the stove and stretched out his hands to warm the fire.
In a moment, there was a murmur of footsteps behind her, and a petite woman about thirty years old entered the door, surrounded by seven or eight maids and five or six guards.
When the guards entered, they stood quietly in the corner, and the maid chose an inconspicuous position to stand.
"Hey, this is Prince Gong's princess, right? It's really a jade figure out of the water, and it is rumored that my sister is a top-notch beauty, I didn't believe it," the princess of Huai'an stepped forward with a smile, "I saw it today, and I knew that the rumors were true." ”
"Sister Yin is praising it falsely." Chu Junlan had already understood the composition of important figures in the Huai'an Royal Mansion before he came, and it was no secret that the Yin family was from the Yin family, a big clan in the south.
Yin smiled and made a gesture of please: "Sister Chu, please sit, it's cold, please use a cup of hot tea."
"Thank you, Sister Yin."
The two were polite, Chu Junlan took a sip of tea, and then asked with a smile: "It's really rude to bother today, but my sister just came to Huaijing, and I learned that my mother-in-law and family are now guests in the house, and the time has been more than a month, this is really rude, because my sister is here to pick up the family and go back to the house today, I don't know what Sister Yin thinks?" ”
