Mu Youchang's mind couldn't calm down for a long time, and there was an illusory feeling like being in a dream.

He couldn't help but ask the little waiter who came to pass the message again: "Is it true?" ”

The little chamberlain felt that today's second prince was a little strange, but he immediately replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness, the news is conclusive, it was sent to Beijing this morning by the northwest side with an expedited 800 miles, and King Pu died eight days ago." ”

Mu Youchang took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and pondered: when Chu Qingyu told him the news, King Pu Langrima was still alive, and it was impossible for her to know when King Pu would die......

Therefore, Chu Qingyu really got the Bodhisattva's suggestion to know what would happen in the future, and he was really the heir to the throne chosen by God!

God help him!

"Hahaha......"

Mu Youchang suddenly let out a hearty and hearty laugh, the laughter became louder and louder, and drifted away from the window with the wind......

The little chamberlain looked at Mu Youchang in confusion, and only vaguely felt that King Pu's death seemed to be great news for the master.

The immortal death of King Pu Lang Rima also caused an uproar in the court.

Many of Dasheng's courtiers were familiar with the life of King Pu, Lang Rima, a legendary figure who had rebelled in the country of Pu a few decades earlier. In the process of counterinsurgency, King Xianpu relapsed from his old injuries and died on the battlefield ahead.

At that time, the crown prince Langrima was only fourteen years old, and he ascended to the throne with the support of his uncle and a group of close ministers.

It took Langrima eight years to quell the rebellion, reunite the once-divided Pu country, and spend more than ten years of hard work to make the Pu country gradually stronger and stronger to the heyday.

Eight years ago, Lang Rima led a large army to attack Dasheng and captured the two states of Xizhou and Longzhou with a strong momentum.

In order to negotiate peace, and in order to exchange for Xizhou and Longzhou, Dasheng agreed to a series of conditions, and Xu Jingsi, the lord of Xinle County, and Qin Puguo became the successor of Lang Rima.

At that time, Langrima was forty-three years old and had two sons, a sister-in-law and a concubine. Calculating the age, the eldest son left by Lang Rima's original partner should be thirty years old now, which is the age of prime and strength.

Since the lord of Xinle County, Xu Heqin, in the past eight years, Pu and Dasheng have been at peace and harmony, and now Lang Rima is dead, and then the new and old regimes will be handed over, no one knows what kind of impact it will bring to Dasheng.

On the morning of this day, the civil and military officials discussed it a lot:

"Your Majesty, the situation in Puguo is unclear now, and I don't know who will be the next King Pu, and I don't know what the new king's attitude towards Dasheng will be, Dasheng must be on guard as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, what Lord Li said is that the Pu Kingdom in the northwest is adjacent to the Yan Kingdom in the north, and if the two countries are united, it will be extremely unfavorable to my Dasheng!"

"Your Majesty, since the lord of Xinle and the pro-Pu country, the Pu country and I Dasheng signed a peace agreement and a hundred years of friendship. Pu people have always believed in it, and they don't want to tear up the contract. ”

"Your Majesty, there is a way to defend against people, once a son of heaven and a courtier. I, Dasheng, should still prepare early to cope with all changes. ”

“……”

There was a lot of argument in the court, and in the end, the first assistant Duanmuxian proposed to send an envoy to Puguo to offer condolences, and also to see the movements of Puguo by the way.

The emperor approved Duanmuxian's proposal, however, another new problem arose -

Who will be the envoy to Pu Province?!

It's not a good job.

The current situation in Pu is unclear, and after the envoys go to Pu State, if they are not careful, they may make Pu Guo and Dasheng have bad relations, and even, if the new King Pu is already hostile to Da Sheng, he may take the opportunity to play, then the envoys will inevitably be angered by the monarchs of the two countries, and it will be thankless.

You pushed me for several days in the court for this, but no one was decided.

These disturbances in the court, Duanmu Fei only heard about it in the palace, and on May 17, she returned to Duanmu Mansion after having fun in the palace.

Duanmu Fei didn't do anything serious in the palace during this time, and often pulled Han Xing to skip class, kicked shuttlecock in the imperial garden, walked horses in the horse farm, and went out of the palace to play...... The time schedule was full, and I was accidentally coaxed by Han Xing to stay for a few more days.

Duanmujun knew that his sister was coming back today, so he deliberately waited at Yimen. When Duanmu got out of the carriage, Duanmu Jun looked at his sister who had been tanned in front of him and was dumbfounded.

"......" Duanmu Jun looked at his sister in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and he immediately guessed that his sister was probably playing "wild" outside during the time when she was "staying" in the palace.

"Sister!" Duanmu showed a bright smile and affectionately took Duanmu Fei's arm.

Duanmujun looked at his sister's smiling face, couldn't say anything, and comforted himself in his heart: Anyway, my sister is healthy.

Not......

The eldest princess of Anping shouldn't dislike her sister black, right?

Duanmu Fei came back with two five-colored peaches that had "lived" in the palace with her for a while, which were pulled into the mansion by a flat carriage.

Duanmufei specially told the cicada and pothos to plant these two five-colored peaches in the courtyard facing the window of the small study, and when she wrote, painted, and played chess at the window, she could see these two five-colored peaches at a glance.

The maid naturally responded again and again, and the entire Duanmu Mansion seemed to be lively and noisy because of Duanmufei's return, and a group of people surrounded Duanmujun and Duanmufei sisters and returned to Zhanqing Courtyard in a mighty manner.

At the gate of the courtyard, Mama Zhang and Duanmu Guifei sent Mama Ma to the house with a few little maids to guard there, and when they saw the sisters returning, they greeted them and saluted them respectfully and affectionately.

Mama Ma has been by Duanmu's side for many years, and she also knows the concubine's thoughts, so she can't say that Duanmu Jun is the future princess, so she is very respectful to the sisters.

"Zhen Zhen," Duanmu Jun said with a smile while holding Duanmu Fei's arm, "I don't know anything about marriage, and I have helped me a lot these days thanks to Mama Ma." ”

"Where, where!" Without waiting for Duanmu Fei to speak, Mama Ma had already said humbly, "Duanmu is very thoughtful, and the slave maid is just relying on the old and selling the old to occasionally give the girl a wake-up." Then, she changed her words again and asked, "Fourth girl, do you want to try the clothes you will wear on the day of Xiao Dingli first?" ”

Duanmufei didn't have a chance to speak, and Duanmujun couldn't wait to answer for her: "Mama Ma is right, Zhenzhen, there are still three days, if something is inappropriate, there is still time to revise it." ”

Duanmufei didn't have a chance to speak from beginning to end, so she was driven to the inner room by the maids half-pushed and half-on-the-spot, like a clay doll, motionless by the maids waiting for her wide clothes, then dressed, and combed her hair again with new clothes.

Duanmu Fei sat in front of the dresser, looking at himself in the mirror in a daze, and suddenly thought of something.

Ahh

She whispered in her heart, and looked up suddenly, just as the pothos was combing her hair with a grate, and her movement made her scalp hurt for a while, and her little face wrinkled together.

"Four girls?" The green pothos looked at Duanmu Fei suspiciously, and Duanmu Fei motioned for her to continue casually, but her heart was heavy.

She remembered a very important thing just now, the needlework room had made the clothes she was going to wear for her little ceremony, and she hadn't finished sealing the clothes, shoes and socks yet.

Originally, in a big family like Duanmu's family, these clothes, shoes and socks could be made by maids, and Duanmufei only needed to sew a few stitches to mean it.

The problem is that even if Duanmu Fei eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, she doesn't dare to perfunctory sealing the flames!

Originally, before entering the palace, she had already started to make clothes, cut her clothes, and made the simplest socks, she originally thought that she would be able to make it for half an hour every day, and by May 20, she would be able to make it up.

However, as soon as she entered the palace, she forgot all about it.

That's good, there's only three days left!

Thinking about the clothes that have barely been sewn with a few stitches, Duanmu wanted to cry without tears, and regretted it: people really can't get too carried away. The eldest brother is right, the industry is good at diligence and frolic......

After Duanmu Fei tried on his clothes, he locked himself in the inner room alone, and temporarily began to make Feng Yan's clothes.

She got up early and greedy for darkness, and for more than two days in a row, she put down the chores of practicing calligraphy and painting, and did not dare to stop for a moment, until her fingers were a little stiff, and finally on the evening of May 19, she rushed out a robe and a set of middle clothes.

It's just that because time is really tight, she had to cleverly embroider a few bamboo leaves at the corners of her robe with finch feather thread and gold thread.

Not only Duanmu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, but the maids who had been tense for more than two days also breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that it was not early, the maids hurriedly served Duanmu Fei to wash and change clothes, and Bi Chan said again, anyway, tomorrow is not an auspicious time, and the girl can sleep a little more tomorrow morning and have a good rest.

Duanmu Fei thought so, and slept until the third pole of the sun.

The time was just right, just enough for her to calmly wash up first, have a breakfast and lunch, and then start to officially change into the new clothes and new skirts specially made for Xiao Dingli, and the maid groomed her.

When Duanmufei arrived at the flower hall, it was noon.

Today is the day when Anping gave Duanmu a small gift, and it is also a major event in the house, in addition to Duanmujun, the fourth lady Ren and the fifth lady Ni are also here.

When he was approaching, he heard the sound of "crackling" firecrackers in the direction of the gate, so it was not lively, and then a mother-in-law ran panting and said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Anping is down!" ”

There was also a commotion in the house.

Anping is coming, Duanmu's family is naturally open to greet each other, and today it is Mama Zhang and Mama Ma who go to Yimen to greet guests.

The house is full of lights, and the decoration is even grander than the last time Anping came to the door.

Everyone in the flower hall saw Anping striding towards this side from a distance, today's Anping wore a thin satin gown embroidered with peony flowers all over the place, with a moonflower skirt under the head, the wind is like the moon, looking gorgeous and elegant, noble and charming.

The afternoon sun was very bright, shining on Anping's body, as if she had been plated with a golden halo, which looked bright and dazzling, attracting everyone's attention.

An Ping was followed by a maid with a blue-blue gown, each holding a red lacquered wooden box decorated with red colored balls, and her movements and manners were well-trained.

The four people in the flower hall got up to greet each other, and Ren and Ni both looked at An Ping with blank eyes, with complicated expressions.

As Anping, she didn't have to come in person, she could have instructed the housekeeper around her to handle the ceremony of exchanging Geng posts and making small ceremonies, but Anping did everything herself, and it is conceivable that she was extremely satisfied with this family business.

This is also the face of Duanmu's family and Duanmufei.

Don't say anything else, when Duanmu Fei marries in the princess's mansion in the future, with Anping supporting her, she won't be sad in the princess's mansion.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

Everyone bowed their knees in unison and saluted An, and An smiled peacefully: "You don't have to be polite, let's all sit down and talk." ”

Anping said politely, but everyone didn't dare to be too casual, and after Anping sat down, everyone sat down one after another.

The maids of the princess's mansion who followed behind An Ping also came in in an orderly manner with the wooden box in their hands, solemn and joyful, however, this solemnity was quickly destroyed by the two sounds of "quack".

This abrupt voice suddenly attracted everyone's attention away from An Ping, they all knew that Duanmu had raised a starling, and the first instinct was that the starling came to join in the fun, but it was not the little starling who made the noise, but a pair of live geese.

A woman in Tsing Yi entered the hall with a live goose in each hand, and the lively geese fluttered their wings and "quacked" at the same time, which was obviously used as a salute for the live geese.

Ren smiled and complimented: "Your Highness, you really have a heart, and you specially sent live geese as a gift." ”

Nowadays, people mostly use wooden geese for the ceremonial ceremony, and this live goose has not been heard of for several years.

"This is a live goose that the dog deliberately went to hunt, and it is also a little bit of his heart." An Ping hooked his lips and smiled.

Her stupid son has been busy for several days in order to catch live geese, and he has been out of Beijing every day to hunt geese for half a month, and has caught dozens of geese and raised them in the garden of the princess's mansion, so he is worried that if a goose suddenly escapes or is sick or dies, the first thing he gets up early every day and the last thing before going to bed is to go to see those geese, so that the dozens of live geese in the garden are obviously good to eat and drink, but they are not fattened, but they have lost a lot of weight.

Thinking about it, An Ping felt funny, and winked at Duanmu Fei quietly.

Duanmu smiled sweetly at Anping, well-behaved and cute.

She was wearing a purple butterfly wearing a flower rolling gold line makeup gown, the bright color reflected her radiant, she was young, and she didn't need makeup, only last night she slept full, she was in good spirits, and she looked like a small flower that was blooming.

Anping looked at Duanmu Fei and couldn't be satisfied, he only felt that his son must have burned a lot of incense in his previous life to marry such a good daughter-in-law.

Anping took Duanmufei's little hand and said affectionately: "Scarlet, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have grown taller and more beautiful." She also pulled out a bracelet from her wrist and put it on Duanmu Fei herself, and her affection was overflowing, "When you have time, you often come to the princess's mansion to play with the palace." ”

It is a cast gold jade Fu Lu Shou colorful bracelet, the bracelet wonderfully presents purple, white, green, red, yellow this color, each color is bright and transparent, the surface of the jade bracelet is engraved with cast gold, the process is complicated, the whole bracelet looks exquisite and gorgeous.

Ren and Ni on the side almost looked straight at each other, although they had never seen this bracelet before, they had heard that it was a gift from the first queen, who was Anping's biological mother, on Anping's sixteenth birthday. This bracelet is not only a rare material of colorful jade, but also the process of casting gold is extremely difficult, it is said that it was made by the world's first craftsman at that time, and this is the only one in the world.

At that time, many other craftsmen also tried to imitate, but all failed, always more or less flawed, which shows the preciousness of this gold-cast jadeite Fu Lu Shou colorful bracelet.

Ren and Ni never expected that An Ping would easily give this jade bracelet to Duanmu Fei.

Duanmu generously accepted the jade bracelet and blessed An Ping: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

An Ping pulled Duanmu Fei to sit down again, looked at Duanmu Jun with a smile and said, "Ah Jun, do you think your sister and Ah Yan of the palace are a match made in heaven?" ”

Duanmu Jun saw that Anping liked his sister so much, and he was both proud and reluctant in his heart, and responded again and again.

Ni on the side also echoed a few words, saying polite words of "a good couple" and "the emperor's grace", in the final analysis, this is the emperor's marriage, how can it be a good fate!

After greeting Duanmujun and Duanmufei sisters, Anping asked the maids to bring Xiaoding up.

Usually the small gift is four boxes of gifts, including gold collars, gold bracelets, gold rings and other gold jewelry in a box, jade Ruyi, jade bracelets and other jade and jade jewelry in a box, a variety of good fabrics and embroidered clothes and other objects and then divided into two boxes.

Today, in addition to the regular four boxes, the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion also has four more boxes, one box is all kinds of exquisite dim sum; One box is a set of ruby heads; One box is a complete set of blue and white porcelain porcelain from the official kiln; A box is full of boxes of Nanzhu, all of which are the size of a dragon's eye, almost blinding everyone's eyes.

Ren and the others all widened their eyes in surprise, and they could hardly take their eyes off the box of Nanzhu, it was not easy to collect such a box of Nanzhu of similar size, I heard that the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping was rich, and it seemed that it was really worthy of its reputation.

Such a small ceremony is really a big deal!

In the envious eyes of everyone, Mama Zhang ordered the maid to send four boxes of return gifts prepared by Duanmu's family, including four treasures of the study, satin clothes, robes and shoes, and hats.

Duanmu Jun said to An Ping with a smile: "Your Highness, this is the clothes, shoes and socks sewn by Zhen Zhen herself, her craftsmanship is not good, I hope Ling Lang ...... I mean, brother-in-law, don't dislike it. Duanmujun said that Duanmufei's craftsmanship was not good, which was just modesty, in her opinion, her sister's craftsmanship was the best.

An Ping didn't look at it and even praised: "This palace looks at this craftsmanship is excellent, and the embroidery is also good!" ”

An Pingfeng's eyes were bright, and he said in his heart: Even if Scarlet sews a sack, his stupid son will probably put it on his body, and this time it is estimated that he will be happy. His stupid son is really a stupid man, and he is a fool!

At this time, Mama Ma came over and respectfully asked, "Big girl, the banquet has been prepared, do you want Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to enter the banquet?" ”

After Duanmujun turned his head and asked An Ping's meaning, everyone got up one after another and went to the banquet hall next door with a smile.

A girl in green clothes glanced in the direction they were leaving, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then she ran towards the outer courtyard with her skirt in her hand, and came to Duanmuxian's outer study without stopping.

"Old lady, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has accepted the return gift, and the eldest girl is bringing people to the table." The maid in Tsing Yi said to Duanmu Xian, "The banquet and the singers are ready. ”

Duanmu Xian sat by the window, absentmindedly slowly arranging the chess game against the chess game, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were scattered.

Today is not the day of Duanmu Xian's rest, after he got off the morning court, he didn't go to the household yamen, so he went back to the house directly, for fear that there would be any variables in the small ceremony, and Duanmu Jun's girl's family couldn't cope with it.

He deliberately ordered someone to keep an eye on the flower hall, and as soon as there was any progress, he would come back to report to him.

Hearing that everything was going well, Duanmuxian stroked his beard with satisfaction, and said in his heart: Sister Jun is really capable! There was no elder around to guide him, so he still arranged the matters of the small ceremony properly.

"You go back and stare at it." Duanmuxian casually sent the little maid in Tsing Yi, but the little maid only agreed, did not stay in the study for half a cup of tea, and left in a hurry.

As soon as she walked on the front foot, a small girl came in on the back foot, and the chess game that Duanmu Xian picked up stopped in mid-air.

"Old lady......" The little guy ran out of breath and said, "Cen ...... Lord Cen is here! ”

"Smack!"

The chess game in Duanmu Xian's hand came out of his hand and fell right on the chessboard, making the chess pieces dotted on it suddenly chaotic, and a few black and white chess pieces fell to the ground "crackling", rolling back and forth on the bluestone slab ground, a mess.

Duanmuxian was stunned, and he didn't seem to be aware of the chaos he had created, and he didn't know whether he was "surprised" more or "scared" more.

He stood up and hit his waist on the square table where the chessboard was placed, and there was another "bang", and more chess pieces fell from the chessboard......

Duanmu Xian couldn't care about the chaos he had created, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and greet it personally!" ”

After Duanmu Xian stroked his robe, he strode out of the outer study and headed towards the main entrance.

The sun was shining outside, and the sky was clear, but Duanmuxian's heart was like a layer of clouds, and he was uneasy.

Cen Yin left Beijing, Duanmu Xian, as the first assistant, still knew a thing or two, although he didn't know what Cen Yin left Beijing for, and he didn't dare to ask, but Cen Yin should have just come back today......

Cen Yin had just returned to Beijing, and he came to the house to look for himself, could it be that he had accidentally run some errand recently?!

So, the emperor sent him to hold him accountable, or even to raid his home?!

The more Duanmu Xian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and as he walked, he asked, "How many people did Lord Cen bring today?" ”

"Just three or four people with you." The little guy hurriedly replied.

When Duanmu Xian heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: Cen Yin brought such a few people, it shouldn't be that he came to raid the house.

Between thoughts, Duanmuxian walked faster and faster, walking with the wind.

When Duanmuxian came to the vicinity of Yimen, a purple-curtained and black-lacquered carriage happened to stop there, and a small chamberlain hurriedly moved a small pestle to cushion the master's feet, and opened the curtain of the carriage.

A figure in a big red unicorn robe walked down from the carriage, with a long and straight body and a long jade body, it was Cen Yin.

"Lord Cen is coming," Duanmu Xian greeted him in three steps and two steps, and bowed his hand to Cen Yin diligently, "It's really rude to miss the distance." ”

Cen Yin smiled faintly, and casually called "Lord Duanmu", his expression was lukewarm, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

"Lord Cen Duke, please." Duanmu Xian respectfully greeted Cen Yin inside, and walked in the direction of the Chaohui Hall in the outer courtyard.

Cen Yin dusted off the dust that didn't exist at all on his robe, and followed Duanmuxian all the way east unhurriedly.

Along the way, Duanmu Xian cautiously looked at Cen Yin's expression, and really couldn't see any clues, so he asked tentatively: "I don't know if the overseer came to the cold house today, but what advice do you have?" ”

Between the words, Cen Yin crossed the high threshold and entered the hall, he walked straight forward, directly took off his robe and sat down on the main seat, stroked his cuffs, and said: "I heard that the four girls of your mansion are giving a small gift today, and this seat is specially here to send a congratulatory gift." ”

A small chamberlain who followed Cen Yin's side hurriedly presented a gift slip to Duanmu Xian.

Duanmu Xian was dumbfounded again, and it seemed that he hadn't digested the meaning of Cen Yin's words, so he heard Cen Yin in front of him slowly say again: "This seat just returned to Beijing this morning, and the preparations were a little hasty, and I hope that Lord Duanmu will not be surprised." ”

Mind?!

Duanmuxian dared to be surprised, even if Cen Yin didn't give any gifts, just making a special trip like this was enough to flatter Duanmuxian.

Duanmu Xian was so shocked that he forgot to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's just my fourth granddaughter's Xiaoding, why did you work for the overseer?" ”
