Chapter 152
Mingxiu was stunned and looked at him inexplicably, "When?" "What is the emperor doing with her?
Although she was named the county lord, Mingxiu still thought from her heart that she had nothing to do with the emperor, and it should be the situation that the well water did not interfere with the river water.
"It depends on when you are free, in fact, the emperor just wants to meet you and talk to you." Seeing Mingxiu's uncertain face, Xie Zhan said again: "The birthday gift you gave to the emperor last time, he liked it very much." "It's just a little bit of a way to play.
Mingxiu is not stupid, he immediately understood when he was mentioned like this, and suddenly he couldn't cry or laugh, "I've been free lately, it's up to you to arrange it." ”
The only thing she has done in recent days is to buy new young people, train more cooks and cooks, not only when they go out to buy banquets, but they have been making more and more money recently, and there is not much money to spend, so Mingxiu is thinking about opening a branch for Mingji.
The first stop in the capital is the first stop.
The capital is huge, and there is still a lot of room for Mingji to bloom everywhere.
……
"Lord Showa is here, please come in." Hou Han welcomed Mingxiu in with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Recently, Your Majesty has been studying the birthday gift given by the county lord, and he has no way to do it, so he can only ask the county lord to give him some advice." ”
After all, it is a small child and has no resistance to novelty toys.
And because he has not conquered it, the emperor has been distressed for a long time.
Those of them who are subordinates are really unqualified if they can't relieve the emperor's worries, so Mingxiu's arrival has received a strong welcome.
"See the Holy One."
The emperor looked up inadvertently, saw that it was Mingxiu, and hurriedly walked down from the dragon chair, "No courtesy, how do you get this thing?" Tell me! ”
is obviously an anxious child, but he wants to make a young and old look, Mingxiu is secretly funny in his heart.
"It's a puzzle, and you need to put these irregular pieces together into a complete pattern," she said. Sitting next to the emperor, Mingxiu was able to distinguish those small pieces little by little.
In fact, she has forgotten how it was divided before, and she still has to explore a little bit if she wants to put it together.
Seeing Mingxiu so bold, Hou Han stepped forward a little disapprovingly, "Lord Showa, the emperor has not given you a seat, you ...... Can't sit down. ”
It was the first time he had seen someone who did not kneel to the emperor, but just bowed perfunctorily, and the emperor did not give him a seat, so she sat down herself, still beside the emperor.
Isn't that unruly?
The emperor is the most faithful to the rules, Hou Han has served the emperor all his life, and he is naturally very well-behaved subtly, and there is no such thing as Mingxiu among the people he usually comes into contact with, and he can't help but mention one or two points for a while.
The emperor swept over at a glance, "I am going to sit down with the lord of Showa, wait for your father-in-law, you go down first, I will call when you want to serve." ”
Seeing what Hou Han wanted to say, the emperor's face turned pale, "What I said is a holy decree!" Father-in-law Hou wants to resist the decree but can't do it? ”
"The old slave retired."
Hou Han withdrew from the room and shook his head with helplessness on his face.
Fortunately, Mingxiu is a girl's family, if she is a man, wouldn't she become a traitor?
Little by little, he finished the puzzle with the emperor, Mingxiu looked at the way he liked it, and suddenly his heart moved, as if he had found a business opportunity again.
If these cute and cute groups are made into dolls, there will definitely be many people who like them.
Mingxiu had wanted to do this before, but unfortunately, her needlework was really ...... I couldn't bear to look at it directly, so I didn't do it all the time.
Now......
There are a lot of girls in the family, basically all of them can sew and thread, and if they buy some more, the shop should be able to open.
The emperor touched his stomach, in fact, he had already eaten before Mingxiu came, but he was just a child, he was hungry quickly, and he was more likely to be hungry after using his brain.
He looked at Mingxiu with burning eyes, "I heard that the craftsmanship of the county lord of Showa is excellent, and the marriage banquet of the Rongguo Mansion is your Zhang Luo, and everyone who has eaten it praises it, and I want to taste it today." ”
After all, he is still young, even if he was born in the royal family, but the level of speech...... Still not tactful enough.
Mingxiu only felt funny, "Okay, it's my blessing that my craftsmanship can be eaten by the emperor." ”
This is agreed.
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Mingxiu to take him to the small kitchen.
Mingxiu left with the front foot, and someone came with the back foot.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen wants to meet the Lord of Showa."
"The Showa County Lord has made food for me, so let Concubine Zhen also come and taste the craftsmanship of the Showa County Lord."
The emperor has also heard of the relationship between Mingxiu and Xie Zhan, since she is the person Xie Zhan likes, isn't Concubine Zhen Mingxiu's mother-in-law?
She gave herself such a fun thing, and the emperor also wanted to make Concubine Zhen's impression of Mingxiu better.
The emperor was purely kind, but Mingxiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the news.
It seems that the people in Tongdu City have acquiesced in her relationship with Xie Zhan, but she has never admitted it.
Explaining it in front of those who have already determined her relationship with Xie Zhan, it seems that no one will believe it.
Don't talk about these people, even if it's a father and a mother, they don't believe it.
Now Mingxiu finally understands, why she didn't let go Xie Zhan is not in a hurry at all, subtly, I am afraid that it will not be long before she herself feels that she and Xie Zhan are like what most people think.
Xie Zhan knew that Mingxiu was going to meet with Concubine Zhen, so he walked to the palace without stopping.
It happened to collide with Concubine Zhen.
"Mother."
has lived in the palace for most of her life, and Concubine Zhen is also a human spirit, and she knew what was going on when she met Xie Zhan.
"You value her." Concubine Zhen chuckled, the years always treat beauties preferentially, She is the same age as Ming's mother, but from the looks of two generations, "Don't worry, this palace will not embarrass her." ”
She just wanted to see what was so unusual about the peasant girl who fascinated her son that she couldn't compare, and where Zhen Miniang couldn't compare.
Zhen Miniang is the best candidate for the daughter-in-law in Concubine Zhen's heart.
But Xie Zhan wants to bring a peasant girl back, as long as it doesn't interfere with the overall situation, Concubine Zhen won't have any opinions.
At this time, Xie Zhan didn't know what Concubine Zhen was thinking, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
It's good that there is no embarrassment for Mingxiu.
When she and Xie Zhan arrived, Mingxiu had already prepared the meal.
"I've seen Concubine Jane."
"I've seen the emperor."
After Concubine Zhen got up, she glanced at Mingxiu, "No courtesy." "It's okay to look raw.
After tasting Mingxiu's craftsmanship, Concubine Zhen bowed slightly, "The craftsmanship is also good." "Barely worthy of being a concubine for Xie Zhan.
The emperor did not have the patience to watch the fight between their women here, although he did not need to deal with political affairs, but he was still very busy, busy with homework.
If he didn't complete his homework, don't look at him as the emperor, he would also be beaten by Xie Zhan.
There is no way, there is only Xie Zhan who dares to hit the emperor's palm in the desert.
After the emperor left, Concubine Zhen looked at Mingxiu, "You are not bad, you can enter the door when my son marries the concubine." ”
She treats Mingxiu with a high taste.
Mingxiu was not used to being treated like this, she frowned, "Concubine Zhen, did you misunderstand something?" ”
Marrying a concubine? Door?
If she didn't understand it wrong, did she agree to her meaning of being Xie Zhan's concubine?
Mingxiu glanced at Xie Zhan unhappily, she wouldn't speak coldly to Concubine Zhen, but being a concubine? It's impossible.
After Concubine Zhen spoke, Xie Zhan said that his heart was not good, and he received Mingxiu's displeased little eyes, and his heart was even more cold.
And now as soon as Concubine Zhen's words come out, I am afraid that he has been imperceptibly in vain for many days.
This has to be explained clearly.
"Mother, the son has no intention of making the lord of Showa a concubine."
"Oh?" This made Concubine Zhen a little surprised, "You don't want to take the house?" ”
Everyone said this, and she thought that Xie Zhan really had that mind about this Showa County Lord.
Hearing this, could it be that Xie Zhan is so good to this Showa County Lord, is it really just because of official business and life-saving grace?
Then her words are indeed inappropriate, and she didn't ruin the reputation of other girls.
Concubine Zhen looked at Mingxiu a little embarrassed, thinking about how to explain, and then heard Xie Zhan speak again.
"Naturally, I don't want to take the house." He looked at Mingxiu anxiously, and seeing that her expression was faint, Xie Zhan was even more panicked, "Mother, the son wants to marry the county lord of Showa as his wife." ”
As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Concubine Zhen.
"Please allow the mother."
"What?! This is not possible! Concubine Zhen looked at Xie Zhan in disbelief, "If you want her to be a concubine and a side concubine, the mother concubine has nothing to say, but the concubine?" No way! ”
Concubine Xie Zhanzheng's position is only worthy of Zhen Miniang in Concubine Zhen's heart, even if she is not Zhen Miniang, she should be the ladies of those noble families in the capital, such as some families with titles in various national mansions.
Don't look at Mingxiu as the county lord, but she has no power and real power, which will not help Xie Zhan's future, how can she let her son marry such a girl?
Moreover, Xie Zhan's identity means that he can't have only one wife, and when the concubines enter the door in the future, those young ladies from noble families are concubines, and Mingxiu is a woman who has nothing, how can she be suppressed?
Often the man in front of him has an accident, which is caused by the restlessness of the back house.
How could Concubine Jane watch her son step into the abyss that he could already meet?
Xie Zhan wanted to say something, but Mingxiu spoke first.
"Concubine Zhen, thanks to you and the regent, Mingxiu is just a little girl, and she has no heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, whether it is for the princess regent or the side concubine, Mingxiu has no heart." Mingxiu pursed her lips and smiled at Concubine Zhen, "You don't need to worry so much. ”
She said to Xie Zhan again: "Mingxiu doesn't know the rules of noble people, and I don't know that meeting you a few times will make others have such suspicions, so let's not see each other again in the future." ”
Can't fancy her?
She didn't want to be put in a cage.
Who wouldn't want to.
"Mingxiu said goodbye in a faux please."
She was slightly blessed and turned around and left without hesitation.
This time, Mingxiu really had the intention of breaking off with Xie Zhan and not meeting again.
In the past, although she didn't have the price Xie Zhan's mind, but she wanted to stay with this friend, not only cherishing the relationship in the past few years, the two of them were still compatible, but at the same time, it was inevitable that there was a little bit of use in it.
If she gets close to Xie Zhan, many troubles will be far away from her.
But if she wants to pay herself, then she is unwilling.
"Mingxiu, listen to me...... Mingxiu! ”
Seeing that she walked without hesitation, Xie Zhan finally panicked, and after chasing two steps, she had already resolutely walked away, Xie Zhan couldn't help but be depressed.
"Mother, I'm serious, my son really wants to marry Mingxiu as a concubine, it's not that I don't like her, but she doesn't look down on me!"
"She still doesn't like you?" Concubine Zhen didn't believe it, "My son is the regent!" It's good to be born again, and you can see that your height is expensive, what does she look down on you! ”
Isn't it just a peasant girl? Even if you have some skills, what's so special?
is so arrogant that she can't look down on her son?
Concubine Zhen was a little unconvinced.
She has never been the only one who looks down on others, and there has never been a time when others look down on her.
"The regent is going to make the family look up to it?" Xie Zhan smiled bitterly, his identity, what else does he have besides being powerful? Power also comes at a price, "She doesn't want to be a caged bird, she doesn't want to have power at the cost of freedom, she is different from those noble girls in the capital." ”
Concubine Zhen frowned, she didn't believe this statement in her heart, "What kind of caged bird is not a caged bird, the mother concubine just wants to capture her, look, and now she is catching you to death, if she really doesn't mean that to you, she doesn't have the heart to climb the dragon and the phoenix, why do you have to get so close to you?" If a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, if there is a misfire, she will be one step to the sky! ”
That woman doesn't want to be in a position of power? Even if you say you don't want it, it's just a means.
Anyway, Concubine Zhen doesn't believe that there really is such a person.
Xie Zhan really didn't know how to speak, it seemed that Mingxiu's approach always had a different meaning in the eyes of Concubine Zhen.
"Mother, you are prejudiced against her."
In Concubine Zhen's heart, apart from Zhen Miniang, who can be worthy of him?
Xie Zhan has always known Concubine Zhen's thoughts, it's not that he is not filial, he really doesn't mean that to Zhen Miniang, he can't sacrifice his life and Zhen Miniang because of filial piety, right?
