Chapter 200: The Widower Disturbs the Door
Yuan Wu retreated and stood outside the room waiting.
The smile in Rong Che's eyes was even worse.
Ji Yanning was helpless, he was too naΓ―ve to do this.
The housekeeper in the palace hurried forward and reported outside the door: "Lord, the third prince is here, and he is coming this way." β
"Got it, let him come over. Rong Che said.
Ji Yanning said: "If you have something important to discuss, you can go out first, anyway, I'm fine." β
Rong Che said: "It shouldn't be a big deal, Rong Qi and the queen didn't know my plan to go to Northern Xinjiang before. β
Ji Yanning was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that he hadn't discussed it with Rong Qi and them.
Rong Qi quickly walked to Rong Che's courtyard, and the housekeeper asked his subordinates to retreat.
"Uncle Xiaohuang, ...... you" Rong Qi walked into the room, and was about to speak to Rong Che, when he found Ji Yanning sitting on the couch, he immediately stopped talking and asked, "Miss Ji, why are you here?"
Before she could stand up and greet Ji Yanning, Rong Che had already stopped her and replied, "She sprained her foot." β
Rong Qi's gaze was on these two people.
Rong Che asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
When he asked him this, Rong Qi came back to his senses and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to Northern Xinjiang?"
When he went down to court, he couldn't ask in front of so many people, and the queen mother also asked him to come over to persuade after she knew about it, after all, the bitter cold in northern Xinjiang is not something ordinary people can bear.
Rong Che said: "Before the imperial brother lets me go to the fiefdom, make some military merits." β
Rong Qi frowned and said: "You are a prince, you don't need military merits, you can do something in the three provinces and six departments of the DPRK and China." β
"That's too slow. Rong Che said, "If the royal family enters the three provinces and six departments, they will all receive some inconsequential idle positions, and they may not be able to enter the center after a few years. β
Rong Qi said worriedly: "But it's a battlefield, and military feats are not so easy, isn't the Seventh Emperor Uncle seriously injured on the battlefield and died!"
Uncle Seven Emperors had never dealt with his father, so his father sent him to fight the enemy, but the enemy was repulsed, and Uncle Seven Emperor died of serious injuries.
On the battlefield, whether it is an ordinary soldier or a noble prince, there is a threat of death at any time.
Rong Che patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." β
Seeing him so persistent, Rong Qi also knew that he couldn't persuade him, but fortunately, he had the status of a prince, and his father said that he could come back from Northern Xinjiang at any time, but he didn't have to suffer for several years in Northern Xinjiang.
"By the way, the queen mother said that Concubine Su went to beg her father, and planned to let us have a second brother to choose a concubine. Rong Qi said, "Otherwise, it's not too late for you to wait for you to decide on the princess." β
Ji Yanning looked up at Rong Che.
Rong Che said, "Isn't my princess here?"
He turned his head to look at Ji Yanning, smiling.
Ji Yanning's face flushed slightly, and he snorted lightly, don't turn his face.
Rong Qi's pupils were slightly dilated, but he was surprised by Rong Che's words.
"But......" Rong Qi's words came to his lips, and he still didn't say that Ji Yanning's status was too low.
He also knew that Rong Che wouldn't care about this, but the civil and military officials wouldn't mind, if Ji Yanning was Liu Mu's daughter, her identity might still be in the past, but she was just a cousin of the Liu family, and her father was a merchant, so she could only be a side concubine of the palace.
He changed his words and asked, "Why don't you let the queen mother go first and let the father and emperor make Miss Ji a county lord first?"
Rong Che said: "No need, what kind of princess I want to marry, it's not the turn of others to point fingers, you let the queen push it first, and say that I will discuss the marriage when I come back from northern Xinjiang." β
Rong Qi glanced at Ji Yanning and nodded: "It's okay." β
Although he didn't know much about Ji Yanning's affairs, he believed that Rong Che's actions were free of his truth.
Ji Yanning is not one of those weak ladies of the family, she knows the general situation, knows how to advance and retreat, although the background is still a little unclear, but she is a suitable candidate for Princess Xuan.
At least choose a girl you like, it's better than getting married.
Speaking of choosing a concubine, Ji Yanning remembered one thing, and she asked, "If I guessed correctly, Murong Yixue...... It seems that he likes the third prince, right?"
The third prince did not shy away from it, and directly admitted it, and said: "A few days ago, Mrs. Murong went to the queen mother to find out, and the queen mother naturally knew about the things in Murong Mansion and the Yuan family, so she naturally didn't like Murong Yixue, so she didn't respond to Mrs. Murong." β
He didn't understand why Murong Yixue had been staring at him all the time, obviously the second prince wanted to win over the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and tried his best to please Murong Yixue, but she never avoided Rong Yu.
Even if he couldn't speak after being poisoned, Murong Yixue never gave up.
If others were like this, Rong Qi might be a little moved, but this person was Murong Yixue, and he naturally knew what kind of person Murong Yixue was after so many years, even if she hid it, he still couldn't like it.
Rong Che said: "Murong Yixue doesn't look like a person who will give up easily, you have to pay attention to it." β
Rong Qi nodded: "I can save it." β
The people who assassinated Ying Wenxu were all escorted into the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and the maid next to Feng Dai found out about the news and came back to report it to her own lady.
Ying Wenxu was restless in Feng's house, he originally wanted to go out, but Feng Dai thought of Ji Yanning's words, but stubbornly stopped him, and first sent his own personal little girl out to find out the news.
Feng's house is not big, but it is about the same size as the courtyard in Zhongdebo's mansion, but the Feng family only has Feng Cheng and Feng Dai's father and daughter, two maids, and a small maid and a mother-in-law who does rough work, even such a small courtyard will not seem too tight.
Although the poison on Feng Cheng's body has been unraveled, he is still recuperating now, and he just fell asleep not long ago, so Feng Dai didn't dare to make too much noise to wake up his father.
Hearing the news of Ji Yanning's safety, Ying Wenxu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Miss Feng, for your help. Ying Wenxu bowed and thanked Feng Dai.
Feng Dai immediately said: "No, Miss Ji is the benefactor of our family, and what she has done, this little help is nothing." β
Ying Wenxu was just about to say goodbye, when he suddenly heard someone banging on the door outside the gate of Feng's house.
The people in the courtyard were stunned and looked in the direction of the door.
"Sister Dai, open the door, it's me!" a man's voice sounded outside the door.
Feng Dai's brows furrowed.
The maid beside her said angrily: "Why is this Li Dalang here again! Miss, let's not open the door!"
Feng Dai said: "Open the door and let him go! Otherwise, he keeps banging on the door like this, and he will disturb his father's rest." β
The maid listened to her young lady's words, and was a little reluctant, so she still walked to the door.
Ying Wenxu, who was on the side, asked, "Who is this Li Dalang?"
Feng Dai lowered her eyes and bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
Another maid said: "This Li Dalang is really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, obviously an old widower, relying on his own small money, he wants to marry our young lady, and he comes to harass him every three or five times, and he doesn't listen to him many times!"
Ying Wenxu heard the maid say this, and then looked at Feng Dai's reluctant look, but he could guess a few points.
Feng Dai's father is now lying in a hospital bed, the family income is not much, and he has to bear the cost of medicine, so he can't work, even if he has some savings, he has probably spent almost all of his savings.
Then Li Dalang may have seen that the Feng family was now in difficulty, so he thought about coming over and asking Feng Dai to marry him.
As he spoke, the door had been opened.
The maid who opened the door was about to let Li Dalang go away, but when Li Dalang saw that it was a little girl who opened the door, he pushed her away and walked into the yard.
He also had something in his hand that looked like a tonic.
"Sister Dai, is my uncle feeling better?" asked Li Dalang very familiarly.
Only then did Ying Wenxu see Li Dalang's appearance clearly, he was not tall, his skin was a little dark, he was slightly fat, and he looked like he was doing business when he was dressed and talking.
Feng Dai frowned and took two steps back: "I told you not to come to me again! β
Li Dalang didn't seem to hear Feng Dai's words, and was about to walk to the inner courtyard with his things.
He said as he walked: "Uncle is just when he needs to make up for his body, don't be polite to me, who is with whom......
"Don't go in!" Feng Dai was a little anxious and was about to step forward to stop him.
If his father knew that Li Dalang was coming to the house again, he would be angry.
But before Feng Dai could stop him, Ying Wenxu had already stepped forward and pushed him to the ground.
The things in Li Dalang's hands were scattered all over the place, and he himself was embarrassed, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a man in the courtyard, he glared at Ying Wenxu, and asked angrily: "Who are you!"
Ying Wenxu looked at him coldly and said, "If you don't want to be beaten, get out of here!"
Li Dalang got up suddenly, and pointed at Ying Wenxu with his finger: "What's the matter with you! I'm looking for Sister Dai, she is my future wife, do I need to find you to take care of it!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! I won't marry you!" Feng Dai's face turned red and denied it loudly, wanting to stop Li Dalang's words.
She didn't expect to lose such a big face in front of an outsider, and she couldn't wait to kick Li Dalang out immediately.
Ying Wenxu looked at Li Dalang with eyes and said, "Did you hear that? She doesn't want to pay attention to you at all, if you say such things again to slander her reputation, don't blame me for being polite." β
Li Dalang glanced at Ying Wenxu and saw that he was dressed well, and he didn't look like an ordinary person.
But he has been eyeing Feng Dai for a while, this little lady is not bad-looking, and her temperament is soft, the old father at home is sick in bed when he hears about poisoning, as long as he grinds for a while, he will not worry about not being able to take people.
Who knew that he would kill a little white face halfway.
