Chapter 237: Xinhou Mansion
This is undoubtedly a kind of code, Emperor Li Ming only told everyone what he meant through one move, and he was still invisible.
Xinhou Mansion is located in the other direction of the capital, close to the palace city and Xingjifang, which is the best location. In the past, this was a place where ordinary princes and nobles could not live, and they had to be the emperor's immediate family members to live here to build the palace and the princess's mansion, but later the two brothers of the emperor and the emperor left Beijing, and before leaving, he asked the emperor to waste the land of the capital with such a big palace, so he asked the emperor to take back this land, which is also a good thing.
So the place of these two palaces has been uninhabited in the capital, and no one can deserve such glory over the years, so it has been idle.
This time, Emperor Li Ming unprecedentedly proposed to give up one of the idle palaces as the residence of Shen Bin, the Marquis of Yongfu, obviously to tell everyone in the court that he wanted to elevate the identity of Shen Bin, Marquis of Yongfu.
No one expected that Shen Bin, who was the confidant of the former prince Li Yuan, would change his temperament greatly after the death of his brother, violating the previous principle of temperament, and actually being able to give in to the emperor.
is really insulting to the demeanor of a famous family, and is not worthy of being the son of a family.
However, because Shen Bin had already separated from the Zhaoming Eldest Princess's Mansion, this matter seemed to have a good result, and it was not worth gossiping about outsiders.
The Xinhou Mansion is spacious and bright, although it is not as big as the princess's mansion, but it is also rich and noble piled up with gold and silver, among which every grass and tree is a well-selected name, and the emperor Li Ming can be seen everywhere for the new Yongfu Marquis Shen Bin's attention and importance.
In this way, the Yongfu Marquis Mansion has completely reversed the situation and become one of the most famous families in this Pingjing City.
It is that everyone is red-eyed, everyone is disdainful, but everyone is afraid.
"I can't imagine that one day our husband and wife can become such shameless people who sell righteousness and seek glory." After Ying Shu listened to many days of gossip, she sneered.
Xiangli helped Yingshu into the backyard slowly, but she didn't know what to say.
The main hall in the backyard of the Hou Mansion is called Lu Ying Pavilion, which is the residence of Ying Shu, the lady of the main room, and it is also the resting place of the Hou Ye Shen Bin, after all, everyone knows that the Yongfu Hou Ye Shen Bin loves the sister of the main room Mrs. Wang after the abolition, and can even not want a mother for his wife, such a kind of affection naturally does not need to be lived by husband and wife.
The furnishings in the house are also very luxurious, Luying Pavilion is a four-entry courtyard, the main hall is the most spacious, and there is a roof ridge of beasts that does not conform to the rules of the Hou Mansion - this is a special permission given by Emperor Li Ming, which is a manifestation of the grace and dignity of the Marquis of Yongfu and his wife.
"Packed up?" Ying Shu sat on the carved Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Rosewood chair above, and asked with a straight face.
"It's almost packed." Xiangli replied, "The gifts sent by the various prefectures to congratulate the housewarming are all light, and I invite the lady to look at them." ”
Yingshu held her stomach, but she suddenly felt a little cold sitting on a chair like this, so she instructed Qingmei again: "Go and get a newly made goose feather cushion with silk and gold edges, this chair is really panicked." ”
Qingmei hurriedly went to get a chair to cushion Yingshu, and Yingshu felt soft and comfortable, but she didn't feel a sense of luxury.
It was as if he was high above the nine heavens and looked down on everything below, and the feeling of suddenness was very different from the previous feeling.
I don't know if it's down-to-earth or not, in short, it's just very strange.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the sense of crisis that seems to come at any time.
Suddenly, her cherry lips opened slightly, and when her upper and lower lips touched, she said: "Who cleaned up this main hall?" ”
"Madam, here is the newly bought maid Xiaoping'er to pack up, I don't know what instructions there are?" Apricot stepped forward and asked.
Ying Shu's pair of apricot eyes were gently raised, and her dark and bright eyes moved slowly, in which countless thoughts were written, but they were like the deep water of Taiye Pond, which taught people to see through, but only taught people to feel luxurious and rich, and she was full of style.
"But what are the instructions?" Ying Shu gently stroked her belly, "Now I still have the Hou Mansion in my belly!" How can you be so careless that you don't even put on a cushion? Who do you want to make uncomfortable? ”
Apricot was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again: "That lady, but you want to punish it?" ”
"Punishment?" The corners of Ying Shu's mouth outlined a casual smile, as if she was just talking about the scenery: "Don't punish at every turn, since you did something wrong, then what else will you be punished?" In this Hou Mansion, there is no room for useless people. Now that the Hou Ye has attacked the title for the first time, he can't tolerate a little sloppiness, today is just a cushion, if it is in the future, what is missing, and then what happens, is it auspicious? ”
Everyone couldn't help but be frightened, who would have expected that the second grandmother of the Shen family, who was the most gentle and obedient in Pingsu, had become such a delicate and strict person now, could it be that she had become the wife of the Hou Mansion, and her confidence was sufficient? ”
"What does that lady mean......"
"If you are so careless, you won't be bothered if you want to come to the Hou Mansion on an errand in the future, so you will be killed." Ying Shu was fluttering, just like strangling a mosquito.
"This ......" Xiangli and Apricot looked at each other, still a little hesitant, and wanted to persuade Ying Shu to say two more words, but Ying Shu was eager to listen to it, so she didn't dare to say anything, although she couldn't bear it in her heart, but she just stubbornly ordered someone to drag the little girl out.
Ying Shu stroked the sideburns and swayed the peony with the pedicle pattern wrapped around the branches, then took it off the sideburns and put it in her hand to look at it.
It was made of fine gold, and the process of wrapping flowers was used, which made it even more valuable. Ying Shu put the step shake in her hand and checked it, and handed it to the apricot on the side: "Take it out and give it to her family, just say that she died of a sudden illness." This step is enough to kill her. ”
"Yes." Kyoko replied in a panic.
"I'm tired." Ying Shu yawned, and slowly entered the inner hall holding Xiangli's hand.
Xiangli served Yingshu to sit on the couch, and then went to get a copper basin to prepare for Yingshu to clean her face, Yingshu looked at Xiangli's busy figure, but Xiangli stopped: "Xiangli, don't be busy yet, talk to me." ”
Xiangli was stunned for a moment, and then agreed to sit next to Yingshu.
"Xiangli, do you feel that I have changed?" Ying Shu asked Xiangli with a soft smile.
"This ......" Xiangli froze for a moment, only to deny it repeatedly: "This ...... How so? What are you talking about, girl? ”
"Then is it too cruel for me to deal with this little Ping'er like this today?" Ying Shu asked again.
"This ......" Xiangli was very embarrassed, but she replied as Ying Shu expected: "This little Ping'er has made a mistake herself, and Mrs. should be punished." ”
"Really?" Ying Shu asked in an accentuated tone.
"Yes." Xiangli still echoed Ying Shu, but she lowered her head in a deep voice, not daring to look directly at Ying Shu.
"Fragrant pear." Ying Shu looked at Xiangli coldly, with no smile on her face, and only stretched out her hand to make Xiangli raise her head.
"Look at me," Yingshu said to Xiangli.
Xiangli naturally wouldn't disobey Ying Shu, but she raised her head, and the moment her eyes met Ying Shu's gaze, she quickly lowered her head again, "Girl, let me see what you do?" ”
"Every time you lie, you don't dare to look people in the eye. Especially when lying to me. Ying Shu said with a relaxed smile.
She laughed at herself: "Look, what happened to me, Mrs. Hou, now, even the people around me don't want to pay attention to me." ”
"No......" Xiangli shook her head: "Girl, I didn't mean that. I am...... I'm just a little uncomfortable. I understand that the girl has a hard time. ”
"Bitter?" Ying Shu smiled coldly: "What can you do?" I just have to follow the rumors of being so arrogant and lascivious, domineering, and coaxing the Hou Ye who disregards human etiquette. It is not an exaggeration for such a person to kill a few maids. ”
"This ......" Xiangli's eyes softened a lot, "Girl, slaves and maids know." It's hard for a girl to do it now. ”
"But if this little Ping'er has another background?"
"Huh?" Xiangli looked at Ying Shu in surprise, and a sense of fear came out of her eyes.
"Wait, these days, it's going to be the hardest." Ying Shufu slowly stood up again, in fact, she was not sleepy at all, she just wanted to come in and hide for a while. She walked to the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror, all these years have passed, because of proper maintenance, there are not many traces of time, but it has faded more youthful and youthful in the past, and added a lot of mature charm.
and the luxurious appearance of Mrs. Houfu, it is even more bejeweled and dazzling.
"At that time, I never thought that the three girls of the Wang family, who were not favored at the beginning, would now become like this." Ying Shu sighed, but there seemed to be a breath in her heart, but she didn't even dare to vent easily.
"Master Hou is back." There was a report from the maid outside the door, and Ying Shu hurriedly got up and went out to greet her, only to see Shen Bin wearing an official uniform, holding a stove in his hand, and striding inside.
"Hou Ye is back," Ying Shu stepped forward to relieve Shen Bin's body, and took off the hand stove in Shen Bin's arms, and couldn't help frowning in the palm of her hand: "The charcoal fire in the hand stove is cold." How can it be better to freeze like this? ”
Shen Bin smiled at Ying Shu, and untied his cloak as he spoke, "Just teach people to do these things." I've just come back from outside, and I'm still cold, but don't freeze you. ”
"Today, the Hou Ye came back later than usual, but he stayed in the palace?"
Now that Shen Bin is still carrying filial piety, this kind of banquet is not suitable for attending. There is also Shen Bin's idea of vacant duty in the court, and he also changed his filial piety to temporarily retire as usual. Therefore, apart from the palace Xuanzhao, Ying Shu really couldn't think of any other reason to make Shen Bin go out for so long.
"Yes," Shen Bin nodded: "Your Majesty really summoned me to the palace today." ”
"Really?" Ying Shu smiled and said, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”
Shen Bin replied: "Your Majesty said that you want to take our brother Feng into the palace and give it to the prince as a companion, and the queen will raise it first." ”
"Huh?"
