Chapter 13 Inferior Maids
"Since Brother Mu knows that the emperor will be angry, why do you want to take the risk?"
Shen Zhao felt that the wooden talisman in his hand was heavy. If something happens to Mu Hanchi, who else can save the people of the world from fire and water.
"Compared with the people of the world, marriage should not be a big deal......"
Shen Zhao tried to convince Mu Hanchi.
Mu Hanchi looked at the depths of the flower shadow outside the window, his furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised. He saw the figure that had just flown away like a fallen leaf and went towards Nanyuan.
Ten years on the border, even the slightest movement at night could not escape his astonishing eyesight.
"Zheng'er."
After determining the name again in his heart, Mu Hanchi changed his words, if the current crown prince is abolished, who can take on the great responsibility of governing the country and leveling the world?
"Of course it's you!"
Shen Zhao felt that this was not a problem at all.
At that time, Mu Tingchen contributed a lot to pacifying the turmoil in the world, and it was he who gave up the throne to his sworn brother, that is, the first emperor, who died unexpectedly after three years of reign. The first emperor had no heirs, and the throne was vacant, and some ministers proposed that Mu Tingchen take over the country, which was strongly opposed by Pingjin Hou. Pingjin Hou elected the half-brother of the former emperor to succeed to the throne, and only then did the current emperor's brutal and cruel government ......
"My father has no intention of being in charge of the country, and I am even more concerned about the end of the world. Shen Zhao, don't say such things again in the future. If you think about it carefully, there is always a suitable candidate among the princes. ”
"Alright then, I'll look for it. Listening to my father, it seems that the eldest prince Zhao Heng has a good temperament, but it is a pity that he was sent to the imperial temple to become a monk and practice when he was a teenager. ”
Shen Zhao had a feeling that his blood had suddenly cooled, and a layer of sadness appeared on his unrestrained and dashing handsome face.
"But it's so dangerous for you to go to face the saint, leaving me alone, even if you take your tiger talisman to find your lieutenant, it will be a big deal."
Mu Hanchi patted Shen Zhao's shoulder, "Don't worry, I naturally have the ability not to be afraid of punishment when I go to face the saint, you go to the suburbs to meet my lieutenant generals, and see if the Marco they trained is still useful." I heard that the Turks are going to Beijing next month to propose, and we have to give them a dismount, and it's time to give the prince a problem. ”
Mu Hanchi went out from the corner gate of Fuxiangyuan and climbed over the wall to return home, Shen Zhao closed the corner door, and thought that he would rest in Fuxiangyuan. Suddenly remembering the name that Mu Hanchi had been chanting just now, he felt very curious, so he went to the back house to inquire with his mother.
You must know that Mu Han only came back from the north late, and today is also the first time he has come to Zhenguo Mansion, and he will never forget the name of a maid as soon as he comes, this situation is too unusual. If he couldn't find Zheng'er, Shen Zhao was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Shen Zhao was worried that his mother was already sleeping at this time, so he took a shortcut through his grandmother's Dongxiao Nanyuan.
"...... Kite"
Suddenly hearing the word Zheng'er in his ears, Shen Zhao hurriedly stopped his hurried footsteps, looked back at the house where the sound of talking came, but saw two big girls under the verandah, each holding a stack of clothes and talking while walking.
Usually, in addition to greeting his grandmother and mother to Nanyuan in the morning and evening, Shen Zhao does not easily set foot in the inner house, at this time he is afraid that the sudden appearance will frighten the maids, and it is not easy to explain why he came to the grandmother's courtyard at this time, so he quietly followed the two maids and carefully looked at the girl named Zheng'er.
The lights are dim in the middle of the night, and I can't see it very clearly, but I can also see the long face, thin eyebrows, Danfeng eyes and two thin lips of Zheng'er, and I can't see that it is pleasing to the eye and moving.
Shen Zhao shook his head, wondering even more about the situation between Mu Hanchi and this Zheng'er girl, dispelled the idea of going to his mother, and turned back. At this time, a light figure shook in front of his eyes, and walked towards Huanyue Xuan.
"Young water chestnut!"
Shen Zhao reacted subconsciously and hurriedly followed Zhao Youling, seeing that she really walked towards Huanyue Xuan's stone bridge.
The little maid who was standing at the door of Huanyue Xuan anxiously saw Zhao Youling and hurriedly stepped forward, "But the slave and maid are in a hurry, why is Mother Gu here to release them again." ”
"What's the hurry, I can't run, I don't want to run."
Zhao Youling hurriedly entered the house, closed the door, untied the cloud dress on her body, and put it on the chair next to her. This trip can make her tired, jumped out of the window of Fuxiangyuan, the dress was not put on properly, fell into the flowers and was tied by the flower branches a few times, before stumbling out of the back garden, not knowing the road for a while, and mistakenly broke into the courtyard of Mrs. Dongxiao Nanyuan.
Recognizing that this courtyard had come with Wei's mother in the evening, Zhao Youling remembered the way from this courtyard to Huanyuexuan. She was about to leave when she saw Gu's mother come out of the house.
This mother just said that she sent someone to guard the door, but she let a strange man in. The strange man saw her body, she was an innocent little girl, and if it was spread in the future, her innocence would be ruined. Could it be that this mother deliberately framed her?
In the morning in the kitchen of Huaiwangfu, Zhao Youling listened to a few cooks preach, the world is sinister, and a simple girl like her is easy to be calculated.
She can't calculate people, there's nothing else to deal with bad guys, just roll up your sleeves and do it.
Zhao Youling decided to catch Gu's mother and come over to ask for an understanding, if the strange man was really a prodigal son, she would take his life even if she chased Tianyuan.
Gu's mother leaned out half of her body in the door and retracted, the sound of the bolt clicking in the door, and the light reflected in the window suddenly came.
It seems that the people in the house are resting.
Zhao Youling's sleeves were lowered again, and he turned around and walked back to Huanyuexuan......
"Miss Zhao, it's time to get up!"
Feeling woken up by something, Zhao Youling got up from the bed and found that it was already bright outside the window, and he was afraid that it was already past the hour. Her heart panicked, last night Gu's mother said that she would let her go out with Mrs. Tai today.
opened the door, and Wei's mother outside the door was even more panicked than Zhao Youling.
"It's three o'clock in the morning, Miss Zhao hurriedly freshened up and went to the Cixin Nunnery with Mrs. Tai to offer incense."
Without waiting for Wei's mother's instructions, the little maid who followed up to fetch water, and the person in charge of serving breakfast had already set up the dishes and chopsticks, and after a hurry, Zhao Youling followed Wei's mother and hurriedly walked to the door of the house.
Gu's mother beckoned, and then helped Zhao Youling to get into the carriage with a glazed canopy.
"Greet Mrs. Tai."
"No need to be polite."
The carport was low, and Zhao Youling wanted to salute straight, but was stopped by Mrs. Shen, and then pulled her to sit beside her.
Feeling that Old Lady Shen's palm was hot, Zhao Youling subconsciously raised her hand to touch Old Lady Shen's forehead. Old Lady Shen was stunned for a moment, and when she realized that Zhao Youling was testing her body temperature, she couldn't help but smile.
Old Lady Shen's eyes were red with a smile, her hands held Zhao Youling's hands, and her eyes looked at her face for a moment.
is so close, can see so clearly, the little face in front of her looks more and more like her little daughter Shen Yunying. Mrs. Shen couldn't hide her excitement, since she saw the jade plaque last night, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. If it weren't for fear of alarming others and causing unnecessary trouble, she would have wanted to call Zhao Youling to her side last night and recognize this granddaughter. At this moment, she couldn't say anything, so she could only take the opportunity of going to the Cixin Nunnery to further confirm that Zhao Youling was the daughter of the imperial concubine fifteen years ago......
The carriage "clicked" and turned out of the front street of the town's government mansion and drove to the mercy nunnery outside the city.
Wang stood at the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion and watched Mrs. Shen's carriage go away, and he didn't want to go back to the mansion for a while. Wei's mother whispered beside her:
"Madame doesn't have to worry about embroidered clothes, as long as Madame Tai is happy. Mrs. Tai likes this little embroidery girl very much, I think it is better to leave the little embroidery girl in the house and be a maid for Mrs. Tai. ”
"Miss Zhao is free, how can I make her a maid! Besides, Mrs. Gao's side will definitely pay attention to Miss Zhao, she didn't want to go back to Miss Zhao yesterday, and she can't guarantee whether she will continue to ask for it in the future. Miss Zhao won't be able to keep sooner or later......"
Before Wang's words were finished, he saw a carriage from the palace turn around the corner of the street. She was worried that it was the Queen Mother who traveled to visit her sister Mrs. Shen.
"Hurry up and get ready to meet you."
Wang sorted out his dress, and Wei's mother turned around and asked the servants to stand in line.
The palace car arrived in front of the Zhenguo Mansion, and a little eunuch walked down from the car.
When Wang saw that it was a little eunuch, his nervousness relaxed, and he was about to open his mouth to greet the little eunuch. The little eunuch smiled with a spring breeze on his face:
"The Zhenguo Mansion takes the order!"
Shen Lu, the prince of Zhenguo, went to the early court, and Shen Zhao, the prince of the world, rode to the suburbs early in the morning. This errand to receive the holy decree was naturally Wang kneeling on the ground, and she was flustered and wondering what the emperor did not give an edict to the prince of Zhenguo in the court, and what kind of decree was passed on to the palace.
Suddenly heard the little eunuch read the words "marriage", and raised his eyes to look at the little eunuch in shock.
"The Duchess of the Kingdom has taken it, and the emperor's intention is to let the prince of Huai come to marry tonight."
Do you want to marry your daughter to the prince of Huai? Wang felt that his eyes were black, and the six gods were ownerless. The little eunuch put the Ming Huang Holy Decree in her hand, got on the car and drove away. Wang was still kneeling on the ground, sweating on his forehead, his heart beating faster, holding the holy decree in both hands, and feeling a burst of blackness in front of him.
"Madame, you can get up."
Wei's mother helped Wang up.
"What should I do, the official hasn't come back yet, what does the emperor mean by this, didn't you marry Miss Pingjin Houfu to the prince of Huai Wang yesterday?"
Wang muttered to himself.
"Madame, are you confused? The emperor wants to give the kite in our house to the prince of Huai. ”
"Ahh
Wang opened the holy decree, and his eyes showed a smile, but in the blink of an eye, the smile changed to a puzzle. She didn't know who Zheng'er was. Mother Wei remembered the roster of servants and slaves in the house.
By the time Wang sat down in the front hall, Wei's mother had already called someone to find the kite.
"You're the kite? Look up and let me see. ”
The inferior maid had no chance to enter the inner hall to wait, and when Zheng'er heard that she was going to see Wang, her legs trembled with fright, and she came into the door and walked tremblingly.
The Wang family has been paying attention to Zheng'er's every move, and he really can't figure out how the emperor could know the name of the low-class maid in the Zhenguo Mansion, and he also gave this maid to the prince of Huai.
Isn't this an insult to the reputation of the prince of Huai?
