Chapter 20: Yuan's Attack

The subordinates at the door looked at each other, after all, no one thought that King Mu would order his personal guards to escort Ning Qingyue all the way back to Shangshu Mansion.

However, the news spread quickly, Ning Weiyan, who went to the palace early in the morning, had not yet returned to the mansion, and the master mother of Shangshu Mansion, Yuan, was drinking tea and chatting with the concubines in the backyard in the house, and the family banquet was arranged by the people in the house.

Suddenly, Yuan's maidservant Rue Xiang hurriedly entered the room from the outside, she whispered a few words in Yuan's ear, and suddenly Yuan's expression changed: "It's all waste, don't you have eyes?" King Mu's guards, they dare to block it? ”

Although Yuan scolded, she didn't stop drinking tea, so she lowered her head and drank a few sips of tea slowly, Fang said: "You personally go to the door to pick up the eldest girl, let the eldest girl come directly to my courtyard after entering the house, I haven't seen her for a few days, let alone me as a mother, even the aunts in this backyard also miss her." ”

Rue Xiang got the order, smiled and blessed her body, and walked out.

At the door of Shangshu Mansion, because of Zhou Da's presence, the subordinates didn't dare to make rude demands to Ning Qingyue, but they didn't dare to let people in without Yuan's orders.

Ning Qingyue stood at the door with a faint expression, but Zhou Da was angry, if this was not Shangshu Mansion but Wangfu, the sword in his hand would have really been chopped over.

After a while, Rue Xiang ran over panting: "You blind things, what are you blocking the door when the eldest lady returns to the mansion, why don't you hurry up and welcome the eldest lady into the mansion." ”

Rue Xiang is Yuan's personal maidservant, she said a word, naturally it is Yuan's meaning, the subordinates hurriedly got out of the way, Rue Xiang smiled and stepped forward with Ning Qingyue as if she was very familiar with it: "Eldest lady come in quickly, just now the housewife heard that the subordinates actually blocked the door and did not let you in, and made a big fire in the house, and specially ordered the slave maid to come to meet you in person!" ”

Ning Qingyue didn't reply to her, but Zhou Da on the side snorted coldly: "Could it be that it wasn't the master mother of your Shangshu Mansion who asked the princess of King Mu's Mansion to stand at the door and kowtow?" ”

Rue Xiang has secretly looked at Zhou Da several times, after all, he is King Mu's bodyguard, this appearance and temperament are incomparable to those families in Shangshu Mansion, and suddenly heard Zhou Da's angry words, Rue Xiang picked up the handkerchief and covered her mouth and laughed: "These are all misunderstandings, it turned out that when the aunts in the backyard went to ask for peace to the main mother, they always talked about the fact that the eldest lady had not returned to the door, so they joked that if the eldest lady returned to the house one day, she would have to kowtow before letting her enter the house." ”

Rue Xiang secretly observed Zhou Da's expression while explaining, but for this remark, Zhou Da's face was tense all the time, but Ning Qingyue on the side hooked the corners of her lips and smiled coldly.

This matter is also ironic, Rue Xiang wants to explain for the Yuan family, but she is not with her, the real embarrassed main master, but from time to time to observe the face of King Mu's personal guard Zhou Da.

Rue Xiang didn't react when she saw Zhou Da, she continued to explain: "If you want to say it, I don't know which little maid actually passed on the jokes of the aunts, and then the people at the door heard about it, and they all mistakenly thought that this was the order of the master mother, which made a fuss in front of the eldest lady and the Zhou guard." ”

At this time, Zhou Da's heart also felt ironic, perhaps because he had been with the prince for too long, he only knew that only his master Mu Wang had the final say in the huge palace, and later after having the princess, the princess became the second master of Mu Wangfu, but he didn't expect a dignified Shangshu Mansion, even the subordinates could bully the master's head, these things encountered today, after returning to the palace, he must report it to the prince.

Zhou Da sneered: "I thought that your Shangshu Mansion had no rules for a few people at the door, and I didn't want even the maids around the master of Shangshu Mansion to be unruly." ”

As soon as Zhou Da said this, Ruxiang's face suddenly froze, and even Ning Qingyue on the side was dumbfounded, she and King Mu did not have a deep husband and wife relationship, why did his guards protect her so much? Could it be......

Ning Qingyue thought of Li Zide, saying that Li Zide and Zhou Da are colleagues, could it be that Li Zide has said something to Zhou Da? But if this is the case, Li Zide doesn't have to do this, after all, it's too risky to do this, if Zhou Da is suspicious, then King Mu will almost be suspicious, in fact, if Li Zide personally escorts her back to Shangshu Mansion, it should be more secure, right?

"What does Zhou Shouwei mean by this? Does the slave offend you? Rue asked with an unkind face.

Zhou Da glanced at her coldly and said, "There is someone in your Shangshu Mansion who has offended the princess of my Mu Wangfu, and you plan to expose this matter easily?" If you don't care about this matter, you might as well leave it to me, and according to the rules of our Mu King's Mansion, all the people who commit the following crimes will be killed with a rod!" ”

Rue Xiang, who suddenly heard this, subconsciously shuddered, saying that King Mu was cruel and unkind, and the entourage guards who were King Mu were afraid that they would not be much better, and Rue Xiang smiled at the moment and said: "Zhou Guard, rest assured, the slave and maid can't be the master in this matter, but the slave and maid will tell the master mother and hand it over to the master mother to decide." ”

A few people walked to the gate of Yuan's courtyard, but they didn't want Zhou Da but were stopped by Ruxiang: "Zhou guards are slow, this courtyard is full of female dependents of my Shangshu Mansion, Zhou guards, you are a foreign man, or wait outside." ”

Of course, Zhou Da couldn't respond, after all, when the prince sent him to escort the princess into the mansion, he specially instructed him to follow the princess to protect the princess at all times, but Ning Qingyue on the side saw this situation, she smiled faintly: "Zhou Da, you just wait outside, the concubine just went in to ask her mother for peace, it's okay." ”

Hearing this, although Zhou Da had objections, he finally responded: "Yes, princess." Seeing Ning Qingyue enter the courtyard, Zhou Da's brows were deeply locked, but there was a faint sense of unease in his heart.

As soon as Ning Qingyue entered the house, when everyone caught a glimpse of her face, they were all in a trance for a while, when did the eldest girl in their house come out so beautiful? It is said that Ning Shuangshuang, the second lady of Shangshu Mansion, is the first beauty in Kyoto City, but now when everyone sees Ning Qingyue, she is a woman outside the mortal world at first glance, she looks like a fairy, her posture is beautiful when she salutes, and she shows a different style with a smile.

"Mother, Hail Blessed." Ning Qingyue bowed, and an indifferent smile flowed out between her clear eyes, seeing that Yuan's gaze was slightly stagnant.

I haven't seen her for many days, Yuan didn't expect that after Ning Qingyue married into the palace, she would be so beautiful, when she was in Shangshu Mansion in the past, Yuan also faintly felt that Ning Qingyue's appearance would be more beautiful than her biological daughter in the future, otherwise she would not be so anxious to let Ning Shuangshuang meet the emperor's eldest grandson in private, if His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson had also seen Ning Qingyue's appearance at the beginning, he was afraid that he would never look down on her daughter.

At this hour, Ning Shuangshuang was still carefully dressed up in her room, because she knew that her fiancΓ© Li Jinze was coming today, and Ning Qingyue was going back to her house today, she couldn't let Ning Qingyue suppress her limelight, so she was not in a hurry to show up today, after all, she still wanted to surprise the four as soon as she appeared.

This time, Yuan's heart slammed, Ning Qingyue was too beautiful, but fortunately, she had already married into King Mu's mansion, even if His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun saw her today, she couldn't have any other thoughts, but her daughter Ning Shuangshuang was also the first beauty in Kyoto City, as long as she dressed up carefully today, she would definitely not lose to Ning Qingyue.

But after a while, Yuan's mood had already changed a thousand times, and she looked at Ning Qingyue lovingly and said with a smile: "Big girl, don't be polite, get up quickly." ”

After Ning Qingyue got up, she sat under the Yuan clan according to her identity, and Lan Weifang, who came in with her, was about to get up with Ning Qingyue, but she didn't want Yuan to sneer: "Lan Wei, do you know your mistake!" ”

Hearing this, Lan Wei's body suddenly stiffened, and Ning Qingyue stood up and said puzzledly: "Mother, what's wrong with Lan Wei?" ”

As soon as Ning Qingyue asked, the surrounding aunts all persuaded: "Big girl, don't worry about this matter, Lan Wei is indeed at fault." ”

Ning Qingyue's heart sank immediately, although she didn't know why the Yuan family suddenly made trouble for Lan Wei, but she knew that if it wasn't for Zhou Da today, it would be her who knelt here today.

Li Song and Li Jinze, who had planned to go all the way from the gate of the palace, discussed again and waited for Lord Shangshu Ning Weiyan to return to Shangshu Mansion together, and at this time, the carriages of the three of them arrived at the door of Shangshu Mansion.

After the three of them entered the mansion all the way, they went to the main hall to drink tea together, but Li Song was concerned about the safety of his little princess, so naturally he found an excuse not long after: "Lord Ning chatted with Jin Ze first, and this king returned to Shangshu Mansion, and felt that the scenery in this mansion was good, and this king went out for a walk." ”

In terms of official position, Li Song is the second son of the emperor, and he is also the emperor's personal King Mu, Li Song is naturally the biggest here, even if Ning Weiyan is his father-in-law, but if Li Song does not call him a father-in-law and does not give him this face, Ning Weiyan really does not dare to ask for this face.

On the contrary, although Li Jinze is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he has always been respectful and polite to the ministers, and he can talk to everyone more, this time Li Song said that he wanted to go out for a walk, Ning Weiyan was naturally happy, but he didn't want Li Jinze to also stand up and said: "I also like the scenery in Shangshu Mansion, why don't my nephews go out for a walk with the second uncle." ”

After a while, the three of them walked out of the main hall together, walking in the various courtyards in the Shangshu Mansion, and it didn't take long for the three of them to come to the gate of Yuan's courtyard, Li Song saw Zhou Da who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, and Zhou Da also saw Li Song at this time, and he immediately seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly walked over.
