Chapter 3 Returning to the Door

I don't know if it's because of the theorem that the more you are afraid of something, the faster something comes, Cheng Dongdong always feels that time flies, and it is the day to return to the door in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the weather was clear, and the refreshing autumn breeze came from the sky, brushing Cheng Dongdong's cheeks and blowing the broken hair on her sideburns, but it couldn't take away the tension and sorrow in her eyes.

In front of the vermilion gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fang Xiang and Mrs. Fang, dressed in gorgeous clothes and full of nobility and majesty, were leading a group of entourages to wait. As soon as Ning Hu and Cheng Dongdong got out of the carriage, the two of them greeted them, Fang Xiang and Ning Hu were polite, and Mrs. Fang greeted Cheng Dongdong with cold greetings, and those who didn't know really thought they were mother and daughter.

"Yin'er, are you okay in the East Palace for the past two days? Mother told you before that you can't be as willful as you are in the house, have you done it in the past two days? ”

“……”

"Also, you will serve Your Highness well in the future......"

Mrs. Fang said a lot, and Cheng Dongdong was basically nodding after that, except for the first time when he was ready to open his mouth to answer. The two seem to be mother and son, but in fact, in Mrs. Fang's opinion, Cheng Dongdong may not even have the qualifications to reply. Cheng Dongdong couldn't help but feel in his heart, you let me speak!

And Fang Xiang, who was walking in front, originally wanted to lead Ning Hu to the main hall, but after Ning Hu knew, he suddenly stopped and refused.

"In Fang Xiang's heart, could it be that he still regards this palace as an outsider?"

Fang Xiang's eyes flashed slightly, but his face did not change, and he said with a smile: "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"When I go to the main hall, it's either to meet a guest, or a big family to get together for a meal, but it's still early at this time, and it's not a meal if I want to come, but this palace is to accompany Jinyin home this time, neither to be a guest, nor to be a guest, why should Fang Xiang be so formal?"

"That's what Your Highness said."

"According to the palace, it is better to go to the back garden of your mansion for a walk, it is said that the back garden of the prime minister's house has an excellent view, and the palace wants to see it today, it may be compared with the imperial garden."

“… His Royal Highness said with a smile, where is the imperial garden comparable to this small garden in my house? ”

Fang Xiang glanced at Ning Hu, saw that his eyes were deep, he still smiled lightly, and didn't say anything, just gave a look to the steward beside him, and then changed the direction to lead Ning Hu.

Cheng Dongdong watched from behind, how did he feel hypocritical, although this word couldn't match Ning Hu's face, but the conversation between the two of them, isn't it these two words? At least she has never seen such a "polite" family...... It doesn't seem right, in Kongming, this seems to be quite common, just like she and Ning Hu, every time they meet, she has to salute first, and she can't walk in front of Ning Hu when she walks...... Thinking about it this way, isn't it, including her, that the entire people in Kongming City are hypocritical?

Thinking about it like this, Cheng Dongdong felt terrible, or let's change the word......

"Yin'er."

Cheng Dongdong had just come out of his mind, but Mrs. Fang suddenly spoke up and pulled him back to reality. Cheng Dongdong came back to his senses, looked at the other party a little blankly, and there were still some doubts in his heart, didn't you let me speak?

It's just that Cheng Dongdong was taken aback. At this time, the entourage followed behind the two, and Mrs. Fang held Cheng Dongdong, the two were attached together, and others looked very intimate, especially Mrs. Fang still had a gentle smile on her face, no matter how you look at it, it is a peaceful picture of a mother caring about her daughter. But what Cheng Dongdong saw was a pair of eyes without a smile, especially the other party's eyes were still a little cold, and Cheng Dongdong didn't know how to react for a while.

What's going on? I was playing a gentle mother in front of me just now, why did it change as soon as I entered the door?

"Mother is talking to you, and you still don't want to listen."

Cheng Dongdong: You say, I'll listen.

"Mother knows, you don't care about anything other than studying on weekdays, and now you are suddenly married, and your mother has not had time to teach you how to manage the house, but you don't have to worry, this is not an easy task, you, let the housekeeper in the prince's mansion continue to take care of it for you, and when the time comes, it will not be too late for you to take over."

Cheng Dongdong still didn't reply, just nodded. Cheng Dongdong felt that Mrs. Fang was good for her, so that she would not be exposed so quickly, but the sentence "It's time" at the back made her a little puzzled, it meant that she would play "Fang Jinyin" for a long time, so long that she could start learning housekeeping; Or is it waiting for the real Fang Jinyin to come back?

Speaking of which, Cheng Dongdong still doesn't know why she wants to marry instead, she just guesses that the real Fang Jinyin should have escaped from marriage, and the Prime Minister didn't dare to make a noise, and she couldn't find Fang Jinyin, so she let her replace her first.

"Your Highness is now weak, Your Majesty will definitely not let him idle in the East Palace anymore, if he is busy in the future, you should not disturb him."

If he doesn't come to Linghua Palace, I'm very happy, how could I go to him.

"Also, you girl likes to read some weird books on weekdays, and now no one cares about you, just take a look at it yourself, but don't pull others, especially His Highness, he is not a joke now."

Cheng Dongdong was stunned, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Mrs. Fang, was this a warning to her and tell her not to talk nonsense? Cheng Dongdong thought to herself that this was really looking up to her, not to mention that she hadn't thought of it at all, even if she thought about it, she wouldn't do it, this kind of thing shook out, she didn't benefit at all. Although she is now at the mercy of others, she has to live every day carefully, and what is even more annoying is that she has nothing to do about it, but after all, she has not been forced into a desperate situation, and she is still not interested in dragging others into the water to harm others and herself.

"Madame, what do you have to say now?" Fang Xiang, who was already ahead of him for a short distance, suddenly turned around and looked at Mrs. Fang and Cheng Dongdong at this time.

"It's not normal for us women to walk slowly." Mrs. Fang smiled, and regained her appearance of a "gentle mother" to Cheng Dongdong, leading her to step forward quickly, following Fang Xiang and Ning Hu.

At this time, Cheng Dongdong and his party have already entered the back garden, although it is autumn, this garden is still full of flowers, rockeries, and a pond looms behind it. Bypassing the rockery and approaching the pond, I saw that most of the lotus leaves on the water surface were withered, and they had not yet been plucked. Cheng Dongdong didn't know if it was because she had too little knowledge, so now even if she sees the dead leaves in other people's gardens, she still thinks it looks good.

Speaking of which, although Cheng Dongdong has lived in the Xiangfu for three or four months, she basically only stays in one courtyard, and she is a stranger to the entire Xiangfu......

A gazebo was built on the edge of the pond, and a corridor through flowers stretched from the backyard all the way to here, and the pavilion was a turning point. Ning Hu, who originally said that he was going to go around, suddenly didn't want to leave when he saw this pavilion. Fang Xiang also relied on Ning Hu, passed a pot of tea and a few plates of pastries in the pavilion, and several people sat down in this pavilion and chatted.

Cheng Dongdong still maintained his previous behavior, Ning Hu and Fang Xiang and his wife chatted happily, she basically didn't speak the whole time, in fact, even if she wanted to speak, she didn't say it, because when these three people talked, she didn't understand much, except for eating, she really didn't know what else she could do.

Or, again, reading is a good thing?
