Chapter 733: There is a gap between 5
Rongwang's Mansion, the main hall.
As the housekeeper of the palace, Tao Fuli welcomed Meng Bin to the mansion and sat down in a few thoughtful ways, let people serve tea and water, send exquisite snacks, and talk with the envoy from Zeguo with a smile.
On the ground in front of them, there were three gilded wooden boxes, which were the birthday gifts from Prince Gong of Zeguo to Princess Rong Lin Ruo. Oh, plus a small leaf rosewood box that has been holding itself and refuses to let others touch it!
His duty as a housekeeper is to deal with every guest who comes to the palace with courtesy, and he can't lose the face of the Rongwang Mansion, and of course, he can't let people brush the face of the Rongwang Mansion!
However, in the face of this Gongwang Uncle Meng, he really has a headache! Knowing that the other party came to provoke and find fault, he knew that the other party was cheeky to find his own princess and his own prince, but his identity was that he was an envoy from Zeguo to Donglu! If it is not handled well, it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and if it is serious, it will also cause the two countries to fight each other!
What's more, people are here to give gifts!
Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, let alone the gift giver!
Well, even if you want to fight, it has to be done by the prince of their family, and he is a palace steward in Taofu District, in the final analysis, he is just a subordinate, he doesn't have the ability or the courage.
The only thing he has is the courage to smile at each other and speak well! Especially in response to this Uncle Meng, who inquired about the whereabouts of his princess and what he liked to do on weekdays.
"His Royal Highness King Gong is really joking, the affairs of the masters, which can we casually inquire about?" Tao Fu smiled decently and replied, "The princess is in the study with the prince on weekdays, and we don't dare to disturb without orders." ”
"Really?" Meng Bin raised his eyebrows and smiled, wiped the tea foam with the lid of the cup, and said, "So, the relationship between Ah Ruo and Prince Rong is quite good?" ”
"It's natural."
"Then why is it that Ah Ruo's birthday, but there is no preparation in the palace?" Seeing that Tao Fu was about to explain, Meng Bin raised his hand, made a gesture to stop, and continued, "I know that today they went to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to celebrate the third birthday of the eighth princess's daughter, and you just said it. It's just that they're coming back for dinner, right? Even if it's because Ah Ruo has filial piety, it's not that he doesn't have nothing to prepare, right? Birthday, only once a year. This Lord Rong is too unconcerned about Xiao Ruo, right? ”
Tao Fu listened to Meng Bin's mouthful of "Ah Ruo", and was angry in his heart, that was their princess! It is the concubine of King Rong and the mistress of King Rong's mansion! In addition to the female relatives who have a better relationship with their own princess, the others who call Lin Ruo "Ah Ruo", in addition to their prince, are only Su Muyu, who grew up together since childhood and has a good relationship, and Li Huaijin, who has several brothers in the same family. Others, most of whom call Lin Ruo "Minhui".
And this Uncle Meng in front of him is clearly deliberate! On the territory of King Rong's Mansion, he deliberately took a bite of "Ah Ruo" affectionately, and even used a more intimate title like "Xiao Ruo", which is a provocation, a provocation!
However, even if Tao Fu knew that this was a provocation, he dared not speak out!
Meng Bin didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong at all, and said unhurriedly, with a bit of accountability in his tone: "Moreover, the birthday of Princess Rong was only sent by Jingping Housu Mansion, Zhennan Houqu Mansion, Antai Bolin Mansion and the Third Princess's Mansion. ”
While speaking, a servant ran over, saluted Meng Bin, and then whispered a few words to Tao Fu.
Seeing that Tao Fu was a little relieved, Meng Bin guessed that it should be Murong Chong and Lin Ruo who came back, and his eyes showed a treacherous and sinister color imperceptibly, listening to the footsteps in his ears, grasping the opportunity, and scolding Murong Chong's voice was even more raised: "With Xiao Ruo's family background and financial resources, how many good things she has seen, and how many birthday gifts from outsiders, she doesn't care." It's just that he is a husband, but he doesn't prepare anything, and in the huge Rongwang Mansion, there is no joy at all for his birthday, so it's too dereliction of duty! Xiao Ruo has been in the Lin Mansion since he was a child, and he has the love of his elders, and marrying a wife should also be cherished as a pearl in the palm of his hand. If you don't know how to cherish it, you might as well ......"
"What's not as good as that?"
A cold voice came from the door, Murong Chong took Lin Ruo by the hand, and looked at Meng Bin in the main hall with a dark face, drinking tea and mocking him.
Meng Bin met Murong Chong's unkind gaze without hesitation, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Of course, it's better to change a husband who will hurt her!" Wouldn't it be possible for a tyrannical creature like you to stay until next year? ”
Hearing Meng Bin's straightforward words, Tao Fudeng shuddered: If you know too much, will you be killed!
Murong Chong snorted unceremoniously: "In this way, King Gong must be considerate and caring for his wife at home?" How did this king hear that the crown prince of your country once asked for the title of princess Gong for your wife in the court, but you repeatedly stopped you? is not even hesitant to give a justifiable title, this is King Gong's 'thoughtfulness' and 'love' towards his wife? ”
Since King Gong entered the court two years ago, after gradually taking over some of the power of Meng Jiugong, he has also entered the intrigue and partisan rivalry in the Zeguo court. In everyone's impression, this idle prince who will only take advantage of Meng Jiugong's power to do business, as soon as he enters the court, he is an amazing eight-faced, long-sleeved dancer, who is a three-point smile, and has a little friendship when he meets people, is humble and polite, worthy of his title, and it is difficult for people to find out what is wrong.
But there is only one point, this King Gong has never attended any public occasions with his wife, and he has not seen his wife Tao Xijun have any dealings with the female relatives in the capital on weekdays, and even more, when the prince asked Tao Xijun for the title of Princess Gong, he directly refused. It was also at that time that everyone knew that Tao Xijun, who was married to Meng Bin for many years by the Ming Media and married to Meng Bin for many years, still did not have the title of "Princess Gong", and the so-called Princess Gong seemed to be just thinking that Tao Xijun was married to Meng Bin as his wife, so they naturally thought she was.
This incident caused a lot of sensation in Zeguo, but it was quickly suppressed by Meng Bin with a sharp hand, and it was only discovered inside and outside the government and the opposition that this King Gong, although he has three points of laughter when he meets people, is really not a good stubble, and his methods are extremely ruthless, even more so than Meng Jiugong! As a result, no one dared to mention it publicly.
But unexpectedly, Murong Chong actually knew about this matter and mentioned it in front of him.
Meng Bin's face immediately sank, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
And Murong Chong's eyes were sharp, and he glared back without showing weakness.
Between the two sides, their eyes touched, as if there was thunder and fire, and no one dared to rush into the radius around them. Oh no, there is one person except - Lin Ruo.
