Chapter 9: Self-defeating
There was an uproar outside the house, and everyone was indignant.
"You slave, who gave you the guts to slander Miss's innocence!" Chang Xinghou scolded angrily.
"Come on, pull me out and hit ......"
"Wait." The man's nice voice sounded, and it blew into everyone's ears clearly, "How does Master Hou want to fight?" ”
There was such a farce at the birthday party, and Changxing was extremely angry, wanting to get angry but fearing that it would damage the image
He secretly took a breath and kept his composure: "According to the rules of the government, if the servant makes trouble, the rod will be punished fifty, and this slave will be evil, and he will talk nonsense, and he will increase it by another hundred." ”
"Xiao Wang doesn't think so."
Li Hanchen shook his head solemnly: "This is not just as simple as making trouble. If he doesn't admit it today, how will Miss Twilight live in the future? Hou Ye should know that the evil words of the world are enough to destroy a person. ”
Changxing Hou said that he had a headache when he heard this, this is his own family matter, and His Royal Highness Linwang has a little more to do!
Although he was slandered in his heart, he still responded politely on the surface: "What does the prince think?" ”
Li Hanchen kicked the little guard who was secretly proud next to him.
"The mouth is a blessing and a curse, and the tongue is a knife to cut off the body. This is afraid that the tongue that is not chaotic in the world will only cause trouble, so it is better to cut it. ”
Fugui's eyes widened in horror, and he immediately fell to the ground and shouted, "My lord, spare your life...... Spare your life...... The little one knows wrong...... Please give the little one a chance to mend his ways...... Let's go back to see Fangfang when I'm done...... Please......"
Li Hanchen looked at him casually: "Then think about it carefully, but what is there to say?" Just this one chance. ”
"I ......" Fugui glanced at Yang, lowered his head and said intermittently: "I said...... I said......"
"Lord Wang." Seeing this, Xu Tinglan stepped forward and bowed deeply to Li Han: "Today is the birthday of the family, and you can't be contaminated with bad things." I also hope that the prince will open up and spare his life. ”
Li Hanchen didn't pay attention to her, but lowered his head and asked the silent girl beside him, her voice was like a spring breeze blowing willows, and she was extremely gentle: "Miss Dusk is what she says." ”
Feeling the man's burning gaze, Xu Chaodui lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Let him go." ”
"Okay." He nodded in response, and his good-looking crane eyes fluttered lightly to Fugui: "Miss Dusk told you to get out, if you let this king see you next time, you may not be complete, remember, it's to get out." ”
"Yes...... Be...... Thank you, sir...... Thank you, sir......"
Fugui was like being pardoned, and after slamming his head on the ground and knocking his head a few times, he hugged his whole body and rolled away like a ball.
"I'm ashamed to let you see the joke today. Now that the truth has come out, please go back to the banquet and continue to have fun......"
Someone in the crowd began to shout.
"Hey, we're very happy to be able to help Miss Twilight clear up her grievances, let's go, let's go......"
"What kind of grudge does this slave have against Miss Dusk, he actually slandered a yellow flower girl like this!"
"When you return home, you must discipline the servants in the house well, so that they don't cause trouble!"
After Changxing's wait-and-order servant forcibly invited the guests back to the garden, he looked at Li Hanchen with deep meaning.
Li Hanchen smiled lightly: "Master Hou has something to say to Xiao Wang?" ”
Chang Xinghou nodded homeopathically: "Please also ask the prince to take a step to speak." ”
Li Hanchen turned around and patted the young man in Tsing Yi who stood tall, "Take care of your sister." ”
Xu Chaoheng was stunned for a moment, and then moved back two steps quietly, "This is my responsibility, thank you for your concern." ”
Li Hanchen withdrew his hand in the air, raised his eyebrows slightly, his younger brother not only looked a little similar to Du'er, but also had a temperament.
……
The faint smell of tea filled the room, and a servant was kneeling on the mat and making tea skillfully.
Li Hanchen and Chang Xinghou sat opposite each other.
Chang Xinghou looked at the young prince in front of him who had only heard of it in other people's mouths before.
I can't help but secretly admire in my heart, I really have a good look, and I have to fight with my young self.
Li Hanchen felt Chang Xinghou's gaze, lowered his eyes and drank tea, and calmly let him look at it.
After a while, Changxing waited for Fang to speak: "Xu has a doubt, and I ask the prince to answer it." ”
Li Hanchen raised his eyes slightly: "Please speak." ”
Changxing Hou pondered the wording: "The prince thinks...... How's my twilight? ”
"Very good, Xiao Wang likes it very much." A laughing voice.
After getting this answer, Chang Xinghou had some confidence and said directly in his heart: "I don't know if the prince is willing to accept the little girl?" ”
"Oh?" The questioning tone evokes a very confusing finale.
Changxing waited for a correct look and explained: "When the accident just happened, everyone saw the prince hugging the little girl. The prince also knows that there are many people, and some bad remarks will spread sooner or later, and the little girl has not yet left the cabinet, but I am afraid that it will have an impact on the little girl. ”
"Then what does Master Hou mean by asking Xiao Wang to marry Miss Dusk?"
"No, no, no." Chang Xinghou shook his head: "The wife of the prince, she is a noble person who is in charge of the prince's family, where can the little girl be so blessed." The meaning of a certain is to want the little girl to be a concubine with the prince, which is the biggest blessing for the little girl, I don't know what the prince wants? ”
After Chang Xinghou said this, he sighed silently in his heart.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and I am afraid that today's events will spread in the capital tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Although it is a farce, it will always have some impact on the reputation of Houfu and Twilight.
The subordinates in the palace naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense when they had his orders, but those who did good things with extraordinary status didn't dare to guarantee it.
At this time, the best solution is to stuff Du'er to King Lin as soon as possible.
Once Du'er becomes the side room of the king, she is the person of the palace, how dare those people judge the palace?
"When does Master Hou want Xiao Wang to marry Miss Dusk?" Li Hanchen readily agreed.
Chang Xinghou blurted out: "Is it feasible tomorrow?" The little woman is stubborn, and once said that she would not marry in this life, if she knew, she would probably want to escape. ”
"Then according to what Lord Hou said, the king of Ming Japan will come to marry Miss."
In this way, Chang Xinghou married her off without even informing Xu Chaodu.
He thinks it's for her good.
She is also not happy in Changxing Houfu, so it is better to leave and go to another place to live again.
The population is like the wind, and the wind is scattered.
But one day, the events of Changxinghou's birthday banquet spread in the city.
If it weren't for Fugui who had already packed up his baggage and rolled out of Chaoyang City overnight yesterday, I am afraid that he would be drowned by one person with a mouthful of spittle.
However, before everyone could eat this melon, another thing made everyone spit out the melon they had just eaten in their mouths in surprise.
What the? His Royal Highness King Linwang wants to marry the adopted daughter of Changxing Houfu as a side room!
This incident is a gossip to the ordinary people of the capital.
And for those lowly little maids, it is a good opportunity to make money.
Want to hear the truth?
Yes, ten copper plates listen to it once, and the various versions are satisfied!
In the midst of all kinds of speculation, Linwangfu released an official answer at the right time.
is talking about Miss Twilight of Changxing Houfu, who is dignified and polite.
His Royal Highness King Lin took a look at the birthday banquet of Changxinghou, and since then his feelings have been irrepressible, and he has specially hired Changxinghou.
When people were boiling over this matter, Chang Xinghou persuaded his daughter bitterly in the flower hall.
"Twilight, this is a sure thing, and you can't refuse. His Royal Highness admires you very much, and if you marry, he will not treat you badly. ”
Chang Xinghou has been persuading for half an hour, but this girl has never said a word.
Changxing waited for thought, if this girl didn't agree, she could only be tied with a rope and married.
Xu Chaodui remained silent, and turned his gaze to Yang, who was sitting on the pear blossom chair.
Yang's face was complicated, and his eyes were gloomy.
Since yesterday's failure, Yang has been extremely depressed.
Fugui, that idiot, is really angry with her!
Not only did he not succeed, but he fulfilled the good deeds of this little slut, which is really more than enough to succeed!
If she hadn't been angry and secretly sent someone to wait in the suburbs and taught that idiot a hard lesson, she would probably be so angry that she would have spurted blood!
Xu Chaodui took in Yang's ever-changing expression.
After a moment, the corners of his mouth raised, "Okay, I'll marry." I have a request, though. ”
"You say." Chang Xinghou nodded when he heard this.
"I'm going to take Ah Heng and Aunt He with me, I don't worry about them staying here."
"Nope." Changxing Hou lowered his face coldly and refused: "What is this like, I have never seen a family marry a daughter and bring the family together." ”
"I'm not your daughter." Consistently light voice.
Chang Xinghou was stunned for a moment, his face was complicated: "Du'er, my father-in-law must not agree to you in this matter." Don't worry, if Heng'er stays here, his father-in-law will definitely take good care of him. ”
"How credible is what my father-in-law said?" The girl Hao doesn't give half face to the lord of the house.
Yang watched his beloved husband be so neglected by a girl, and the fireworks that secretly burned in his heart flickered three feet high.
The sound of the tea bottom and the table collided sounded, and she stared coldly at the girl who had always been indifferent: "Marrying King Linwang as a concubine is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes, and other women with your status can't ask for it, don't know what to do!" ”
The girl's beautiful eyes narrowed lightly, "That's them, not me." ”
"You are presumptuous!" There was a sound on the table, and Yang's eyes were as sharp as knives.
"So what?" The girl's face did not change, but her voice sank.
The atmosphere suddenly escalated to a white-hot state, and Changxing Hou was about to mediate it, when a small servant entered the house and reported: "Master Hou, the sedan chair in the palace is already on the road, and there are many onlookers!" ”
Hearing this, Chang Xinghou changed his direction and continued to persuade her: "Okay, good, my father-in-law promises you." You change into your wedding clothes first, and when you go to the palace, your father-in-law will send Heng'er over, okay? ”
After speaking, he was afraid that she would continue to be stubborn, Chang Xinghou added: "Du'er, you should know the identity and status of King Lin, he is the younger brother of the current Holy Mother, and he is extremely favored by the Holy Saint. If you marry and be favored in the past, Heng'er's future will be bright. ”
As he spoke, Xu Chaodui glanced out the door.
There are about 20 families in the courtyard guarding the courtyard, and if you don't agree, you won't be able to escape today.
Yes, how could she, the father-in-law, come by her temperament.
If you go to Linwangfu, maybe it will be more convenient to leave.
Although I don't know why King Lin suddenly accepted her into the mansion, I don't like it by any means.
Maybe it's just a temporary novelty, but when the novelty passes, she can easily take Ah Heng and Aunt He away.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll marry." ”
……
In Xianyun Garden, a girl in a wedding dress sat in front of the bronze mirror and was dressed up by Aunt He.
Changxing Hou originally sent more than ten maidservants to serve her, but she drove them all back.
"Aunt He, I have no way out now, I can only leave you temporarily."
In the bronze mirror, the girl's beautiful face is slightly powdered, and her lips are closed, which is very cute.
"Twilight." Aunt He moved softly and put on a simple magnolia red tassel hairpin between her silks, and her words were full of worry: "Du'er, when you marry in the palace this time, you must remember that you can't do too good things in the mansion." ”
Xu Chaowan bowed slightly: "Aunt He is afraid that Chaowan will do too well and make others take it for granted, once she can't keep it, she will be scolded, and if she takes a concubine in the future, she will be hated, right?" Aunt He can rest assured that the morning and dusk are measured. ”
