Chapter 241: Peace of Mind
A few days later, the Hu family also moved, she sent someone to deliver the post to Princess Zhaoyue's mansion, and quickly got a reply.
The next day, after the Hu family entrusted the children and the affairs of the county prince's mansion to Concubine Liao, they got into the carriage and went to Princess Zhaoyue's mansion.
Xiao Xuan had already made arrangements, and the Hu family's carriage had just stopped in front of the princess's mansion, and according to Xiao Xuan's instructions, Lu Lin, who had been waiting in front of the mansion early, hurriedly led people forward to welcome the Hu family into the mansion.
The green forest led the Hu family to the flower hall specially used to meet guests, and Xiao Xuan was already waiting here.
"The second sister-in-law is here." Seeing Hu appear, Xiao Xuan, who was originally sitting, immediately got up. "Come and sit down."
Hu Shi stepped forward happily and sat down on Xiao Xuan's side.
Dan Tang brought the maids in and brought the tea and snacks prepared in advance.
"Second sister-in-law, why didn't you bring the children from the house with you today?" Xiao Xuan saw that the Hu family came alone, and his face seemed to be a little solemn, so he couldn't help but ask curiously. "I thought the children were coming today, and I asked the chef to make what they liked to eat."
"Don't spoil them." Following Xiao Xuan's words, Hu Shi covered his lips and said with a smile. "I came here today because I had something to tell the princess, so I didn't bring a few children with me."
"Talk to me about things? No wonder I looked at my second sister-in-law as if she had something on her mind. Xiao Xuan raised his hand and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Hu. If the second sister-in-law has something to tell me, she will just say it. ”
"Are all the injuries you suffered in the paddock healed?" Hu Shi suddenly asked.
Xiao Xuan didn't expect Hu Shi to suddenly ask this, but he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.
"It was originally a minor injury, but I was almost recuperating before returning to the imperial capital. Didn't my second sister-in-law come to see me a while ago? At that time, I told my second sister-in-law, and I had already recovered. ”
"Your Majesty and the princess encountered such an accident, didn't Your Majesty send someone to continue to investigate?" Hu's eyes wandered and asked. "It's a thrilling thing like this."
"My father naturally investigated the matter, but it was the first time that Brother Xiao from the Nan'an Hou Mansion followed his father and brother to the paddock. He was young and new, and he didn't expect his actions to alarm the wild bee colony. His father and brother took the initiative to go to his father to confess the crime, and Brother Xiao'er's eldest brother took the initiative to take responsibility, saying that he did not take good care of his younger brother to cause such a thing. I was slightly injured, and my father was safe and sound under the full help of my second brother, and my father could not make any heavy punishments to a pair of brothers who were not yet formal. But Nan Anhou's eldest son is a good child, smart and responsible, and his father also valued him and selected him to the palace guard. ”
In fact, Emperor Chu's treatment of the Hu family has heard of it, and she has also inadvertently seen the eldest son of the Hou Mansion of Nan'an, a fourteen-year-old boy who is tall and good-looking, and I heard that he has learned martial arts well. Although Nan'an Hou has been in decline for a long time, but in the end, the surname Xiao is also a relative of the emperor, and he entered the palace guard at a young age, as long as this child does not take a detour in the future, he will definitely have a big future. I heard that recently, many families with school-age girls in their families have begun to inquire about the eldest son of Nan'an Hou Mansion. Even his mother's family, Liguo Gongfu, and his brother's eldest daughter are now thirteen years old, and her sister-in-law began to plan for her niece's marriage early. Such a well-born, good-looking, and promising child's sister-in-law naturally noticed it. During this time, as long as she went back to the Liguo Mansion to sit down, her sister-in-law had to talk to the Hu family. After all, the Hu family married the prince, even if he was related to the Nan'an Hou Mansion, it was easy to inquire and inquire about the situation.
"But is there really no follow-up to the matter?" After all, the Hu family has no real evidence in their hands, and they can't convict Xiao Jin just because of a maid beside Concubine Liao. The Hu family has her own plans in her heart, she can not care about Xiao Jin's life or death, but the children in the house are innocent, if Xiao Jin's matter is really lifted out and nailed to death, her children have such an attempt to kill their father and kill the king's father, how will they go on in the future. "The princess is also a victim, so there is nothing to know?"
In fact, all kinds of trivial matters, coupled with the obsession of Emperor Liu and Xiao Yu, they resolutely did not allow Xiao Jun and Xiao Xuan to ask about this matter again, which made Xiao Xuan's thoughts gradually firm.
No matter how kind Emperor Chu is on weekdays, he is the king of a country in the end. Since he chose to end this matter on the bright side, everything has its own reason. Concubine Liu and Xiao Yu are well aware of the truth, so they will prohibit Xiao Jun and Xiao Xuan from participating in it again.
Xiao Xuan is a bitter master, as long as she doesn't participate in it, she will be pitied by Emperor Chu.
Xiao Jun has a reckless temperament, and Emperor Liu's concubine and Xiao Yu are even more afraid that Xiao Jun will spy on the Jinqi guard again, and in the end, if Xiao Jun loses his sense of proportion, it will make Emperor Chu angry.
After all, as long as they don't interfere in it, Emperor Chu will give Xiao Xuan an answer.
Xiao Xuan obeyed the instructions of Emperor Liu's concubine and did not inquire about related matters. Every day, she either goes out to a banquet or has fun in the house, and when she meets someone who comes to visit her, she also has to sigh about the thrilling situation of that day.
Now, Xiao Xuan herself is gradually about to forget such a thing. Today's Hu family's visit and verbal temptation, Xiao Xuan naturally understood it immediately.
"I know that my second sister-in-law cares about me." Xiao Xuan did have some doubts in her heart, but she understood the truth, so she still insisted on her attitude towards this matter, that is, everything had been settled, and she would no longer ask questions. "But my father has already given me a conclusion, and my father has said that whatever he says is what he says. Besides, although the situation was thrilling that day, I was okay in the end, and it was boring to get to the bottom of it. ”
"But ......." was said here, and Hu hesitated whether to talk to Xiao Xuan or not.
"Second sister-in-law, don't talk patronizingly, drink some tea. This tea is the imperial tribute that has just entered the palace, and now it is not even in the palace of the queen's mother, which I still asked for from my father a few days ago. Xiao Xuan interrupted her and pushed the teacup full of tea closer to her. I know the second sister-in-law's hardship, but the second sister-in-law can rest assured, if anything happens to the second sister-in-law and my nephews and nieces in the future, I will never sit idly by. ”
Hu Shi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Xuan steadily. Xiao Xuan's eyes were like black ink, black and white, and his eyes were extremely sincere.
Hu Shi understood the meaning of Xiao Xuan's words, knew that Xiao Xuan had made a promise, and the heart that had been hanging since he learned something from Concubine Liao that day finally came down slowly.
She nodded solemnly at Xiao Xuan, then took the teacup, and without taking a sip, she directly put it to her lips and drank it all.
The slightly hot tea fell through his throat and into his abdomen, warming Hu's entire body.
"It's good tea, indeed." Hu Shi admired softly, smiled and looked at Xiao Xuan again and asked. "Can the princess pour me another glass?"
"Naturally, you can." Dan Tang, who had been silently guarding the side, heard this, and was about to step forward to pour tea for the Hu family, Xiao Xuan raised her hand to stop her movements, and Xiao Xuan personally poured another cup for the Hu family. "If the second sister-in-law really likes it, I still have some here, and when the second sister-in-law goes back, I'll let them wrap it up for you, okay?"
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Hu smiled at Xiao Xuan's kindness. "Wait for two days, I will bring the children from the house over, and the children also said that they miss their little aunt, this time I don't want to bring them with me, they are all unhappy."
"Okay, the second sister-in-law also knows that I and the concubine don't have our own children at the moment, and the concubine is busy in the military department during the day, and it is really boring for me to guard this huge princess mansion alone, the second sister-in-law will be free next time, and bring Concubine Liao and her sister over, so that my mansion will have a good live." Xiao Xuan said. "The second sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much about the second brother's affairs, there are many people who know that the second sister-in-law and the second brother are not in agreement."
"yes, I see." Letting go of the worries in his heart, Hu finally smiled reassuringly.
After Hu returned to the palace of the county king, he asked the gatekeeper of the county king's mansion, and Xiao Jin still had a banquet outside and had not yet returned to the house.
During this period of time, Xiao Jin seemed to have regained power, but he didn't have to drink alone in the county king's mansion every day, and officials and clans invited him to drink and feast everywhere every day.
Hu asked the concierge to go down, and smiled secretly in his heart, Xiao Jin's temperament was destined to be lower than King Qin for the rest of his life. Even she, a woman who grew up in the boudoir, knows that the more he is in the limelight now, the more he needs to be quiet and quiet. Xiao Jin wanted to socialize around tall and tall, for fear that there were still people in the imperial capital who didn't know that he was in the limelight.
As soon as Hu Shi returned to her courtyard, she changed into a set of homely clothes, and Concubine Liao was already waiting outside the hospital to see her when she got the news.
After Hu finished changing his clothes, he asked Concubine Liao to come in.
"Princess Jun, what is the reaction of the princess?" Concubine Liao asked anxiously.
"You can rest assured." After Hu asked Concubine Liao to sit down, he waited for the maids around him to retreat before speaking. "Although the princess didn't say anything else, she promised that if anything happened in the future, she would help our ladies and children."
"But.... This is not a trivial matter after all, can the princess really be able to save us? Concubine Liao still had palpitations in her heart.
"Then you will underestimate the status of Princess Zhaoyue, as long as the princess agrees to me, I can rest assured." The Hu family still trusts Xiao Xuan very much. "So you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, this matter may not be handled so seamlessly, and the people who notice the problem are not just you and me. We are the ladies in the backyard, and we don't have to be afraid of anything we haven't done. ”
