Chapter 224: The Emperor's Visit
"Boss, this time it's wrong to be a mother, if you're unhappy, it's okay for you to say two words to your mother, but your second sister's matter is ......"
"Mother, eldest brother, what the hell is going on, how did the good eldest brother be sent to Ningcheng. Big brother can't offend anyone, right? Before An Wanru entered the door, a anxious voice came in. Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and An Wanru walked in.
"Hey, my little ancestor, you are finally back, hurry up and beg your eldest brother, he is about to go to Ningcheng to take office, he can't come back for a year and a half, your marriage with the prince can not be delayed any longer, these two days, let your eldest brother take some time to discuss with the prince." Try to get things done before your big brother leaves. Li pulled An as if he stepped forward. An Wanru didn't understand the eldest brother's long-distance adjustment, and her mother asked herself to come back quickly to do something, but now she finally understands.
An Wanwan came back to her senses, and hurriedly pulled An Mingchen's sleeve, "Big brother, what my mother said is that I am already a prince of the king, and I can't live in the palace so unclearly all the time......"
"Who let you live in the palace? Did you tell me? Now I know that I am in a hurry, what did I do in the first place. Speaking of this, An Mingchen was angry, and none of them understood one by one. What kind of person is King Hong, if he doesn't see any benefits, how can he let the second sister marry in, when he was the emperor's confidant before, King Hong didn't let go, and now he has been degraded, the future is unknown, with King Hong's intelligence, at this time, he came to ask for marriage, I am afraid that it is tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation.
An Mingchen didn't want to send it to the door to be ridiculed, so after thinking about it, he said, "Let's talk about this matter later." "As he spoke, he was leaving. Li and An Wanru saw that An Mingchen didn't help and immediately quit, "Big brother, whether I am your own sister or not, they all say that the eldest brother is like a father, I don't ask you to treat me like my father, at least you care about what will happen to me." ”
"You now know that I care about you, what did you do earlier." Before An Mingchen got angry, they put on their faces first, "Aren't you very capable, you can say it yourself." I still have something. ”
"Mother, look at the eldest brother. How could he do that? If he just leaves, who can say what will happen in the future? Mother, you go and beg the eldest brother," An Wan was in a hurry. Li is also angry, but she understands the temper of the boss, as long as he says he doesn't agree, he doesn't agree, plus the boss is not in a good mood today, if he goes over. I'm afraid it's still in vain.
Thinking of what the boss just said, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Second brother, didn't your eldest brother say, let us go to the palace to propose the marriage by ourselves." There's a mother, don't be afraid. ”
"But ......" You didn't say it before, and the prince agreed that time. When the words came to his lips, he looked at Li's sworn expression, and swallowed the words that were about to be spoken. "When are you going to go?"
"It's better to choose a day than to hit a day. Your eldest brother is about to leave, time is pressing, let's fight quickly. Li didn't care about etiquette, and left the Huangfu house with An Wanru. At this time, King Hong had already received the news that An Mingchen had been demoted to Ningcheng, and his face was full of smiles. An Mingchen, An Mingchen, after fighting for so long, in the end, you are not defeated by this king.
"Lord Wang, the mother and daughter of the An family are here, saying that they have something to see the prince." Didn't Ann just leave? Why did he come back so quickly, and the old lady followed, isn't it...... Thinking of something, the corners of King Hong's mouth hooked up a sneer, An Mingchen, didn't you guess the king's mind a long time ago, so you didn't even dare to go to the door?
"Go, invite them to the front hall, this king will be there later." But what to do, even if you don't come, the king will return to you the same amount of what he should have calculated.
In the front hall, An sat in the main seat like a self-cooked, and greeted Li's pastry deliciously, and the two of them chatted very happily, just like the two just now. "Second child, the things in the palace are good, no wonder everyone squeezed their heads and wanted to enter the palace. Second child, you are really blessed, when you become a side concubine, don't forget your mother and me. ”
"Look at what my mother said, you are my mother, and after you are busy with my affairs, I will be filial to you in my life."
"Hmph, don't say it nicely now, when you really get married, you will forget about me as an old woman." Li said this, but his eyes were full of smiles, "This rose cake is really delicious, much better than those in the Huangfu family." No wonder they all look down on the merchants, they are all rich nouveau riche, how can there be officials and eunuchs. Girl, you have to study hard in the future, don't be as unproductive as your brother. ”
"That's nature." An Wanru smiled happily, as if she had married in, Hong Yao saw this scene when she accompanied King Hong, and her cold eyes quickly crossed a trace of murderous intent.
"Lord Wang, you're here, people still think you don't want people." An Wanru stayed with King Hong for a few days, and also learned the set of flesh and hemp in the palace, holding King Hong's arm and not letting go, King Hong looked spoiled, Li saw this, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little, "Lord Wang, we came here today to discuss with Lord Wang, I don't know ...... Lord Wang."
"Mother-in-law has something to say." King Hong pulled An Wanru to the table and sat down, "The king has also heard about Lord An's affairs, but this matter is ordered by the emperor himself, so ...... This king is also powerless. King Hong thought that they were here to intercede for An Mingchen, so he directly blocked the words. Li smiled and waved his hand, "The prince misunderstood, the eldest of my family said that the matter of serving is a decision made by the emperor in many ways, and we have no opinion, but the eldest leaves like this, and the marriage of the second child is ......."
It's because of this? King Hong glanced at the Li family with some surprise, and the afterglow swept An Wanru's eager gaze, his eyes flashed slightly, he was involved with the An family because of An Mingchen, and now An Mingchen is the emperor's abandoned son, and there is no use value for him, so the marriage will naturally not be there again. But he can't say these words directly, after all, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, whether it is doing things or talking, he has always liked to leave a line, so King Hong opened his mouth after thinking about it.
"I don't know if that's what my mother-in-law means or what Lord An means?" King Hong concluded in his heart that An Mingchen would definitely disagree if he didn't come to the door. Otherwise, why would such an important matter make two women come forward. King Hong recognized this, so he was a lot more confident when he spoke.
"The boss is about to go to Ningcheng to take office, and there are a lot of things, so I will come over in person. Why, but what's wrong? Li took the posture of an old lady, but he learned to be different. King Hong shook his head with a smile, "Mother-in-law said that she was laughing, and this king just asked casually." In addition, didn't Lord An go to Ningcheng with his family this time? This king heard that Ningcheng is picturesque and is a place that many literati and scholars like to go. In addition, Lord An is still the governor of Ningcheng this time, which can be said to cover the sky with one hand, if the mother-in-law passes......"
"Really? How did I hear that Ningcheng is a place where birds don't......" Li accidentally told the truth, worried that King Hong would dislike him, coughed lightly, and sat up again, "Let the prince see and laugh." Today we are mainly here to discuss the marriage date, the eldest is about to go to Ningcheng, the second child's marriage affairs must be done before he leaves, I don't know ...... the prince's side."
"Mother in law came to the door to talk about this, and it stands to reason that the king is bound to respond, but it is just ...... Although the king wants to marry Wanru as soon as possible, it is not good to disobey the will of Lord An, if Lord An does not agree, this king is really not good to make a decision, and please ask my mother-in-law to understand the king's painstaking efforts. King Hong looked like he was thinking about the An family, which made the Li family dissatisfied and couldn't say any complaints. On the way back, the mother and daughter scolded An Mingchen again before they were happy.
As it approached noon, the number of people in the restaurant gradually increased, but there was no way to compare it with before. But in this way, Huangfu Xue is also satisfied. This business is a protracted battle, you can't be in a hurry, take your time, when the magpie came in with lunch, there was a person behind him, "Miss, look who is coming." Huangfu Xue raised her head suspiciously, first looked surprised when she saw someone coming, and then quickly got up and stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty, why did you come here suddenly." ”
"Why, you don't seem to welcome me?" The emperor smiled, walked to the table and sat down, "There are so many account books, I see that the business of your restaurant is not as much as the other side, how can there be so many account books." Taking a copy casually, Huangfu Xue stepped forward with a smile, "Don't make fun of me, the emperor doesn't make fun of me, these are the account books of various shops, and when they are all put together, it will naturally be too much." In fact, in the past, the restaurant's daily account books were these, although now there are fewer account books, and she has less time to read the account books, but she is not happy at all.
Just like the shopkeeper said, they would rather count the money until their hands cramp than count the copper plates over and over again, and even worry about what will happen tomorrow......
"Has the emperor had lunch?" Seeing that the emperor was silent, Huangfu Xue asked the magpie to order two more dishes. The emperor glanced at the account book twice and put it down, "I made a holy decree today, so that Lord An became the governor of Ningcheng." He took office three days later. ”
"What does the emperor mean by this?" Although Huangfuxue has never left the capital, she also knows what Ningcheng is, and besides, the last poisoning has not been investigated, and the emperor can't wait to release Xianggong, which makes outsiders seem that the emperor is disgusted with Xianggong, and even she thinks so, but now that the emperor is willing to go on such a trip because of this matter, she has to reconsider this issue.
"The emperor actually believes in me, right, in that case, why did the emperor do this?"
"Everyone thinks that I am the ninety-five in the world, one person under ten thousand people, and I want the wind to be windy and rainy, but I don't know that I also have a lot of helplessness. This time the matter seems simple, but in fact there is a lot of things inside, I originally thought that this morning Lord An explained it clearly, and this matter was over, but ......"
"Later, the prime minister did not prove his grievances, and even the emperor even got evidence against the prime minister, right?"
