Chapter 45: Seize the Day
Ning Chengyou was stunned stupidly, the corners of his mouth twitched into a sneer, Shu Ruhai waited, and when he saw that he didn't command, he quietly retreated.
Shu Ruhai's feet just got out of the house, and Ning Chengyou, who was stunned, turned around and smashed the chair that Shu Ruhai was sitting on.
"Why, why, I am your son, but you want to favor an outsider, I am your son!"
The flying legs swept across, and the chair coffee table collapsed.
The butler, who was hurrying in, was about to step into the room when he was hit by a piece of wood, and his cheeks immediately swollen.
"The Third Highness is angry, and the minion has brought a message!" The butler covered half of his red and swollen face and walked into the room.
"Say it quickly." Ning Chengyu was born with miraculous power, and he could easily lift things that a seven-year-old child could lift at the age of two, if so, he would be favored by the national teacher and taken to practice martial arts, he had always been lucky, if it weren't for the national teacher, he would not have this martial arts, nor could he become a guard commander after returning from school, but he was also unlucky, he became a material, and Shen Ke, who was more talented than him, was born out of thin air and rose quickly to gain the trust of the emperor, and he, who was born known as the prince of the natural divine power of the bone essence, But for many years has been condescending to the position of this four products can not be promoted, although the national teacher treats him kindly, but the emperor believes in the Tao and does not believe in superstition, the national teacher has no real power in the court, the emperor does not hurt, the mother does not love, his future fate can be imagined.
If he was an optimistic person, he might be able to make do with it, but he is a person who is bent on competing with his brothers, and the current situation is simply hot for him.
Originally, he was still vainly trying to share the same hatred with Shen Ke, but now this idea has been completely shattered, and all he thinks about now is how to bring down Shen Ke! Move away from the stone that stands in your way.
"The news from Aicheng that Aicheng's land invasion case has been brought to an eyebrow, and His Royal Highness's excerpt has been presented to the emperor, this matter is related to Li Guogong, and now His Royal Highness is on his way back to the capital!"
The housekeeper was swollen with half of his face, and his speech was a little slurred, but these key people and things, Ning Chengyou heard very clearly, Li Guogong was related to this case, there was an example of the original Yang Mingbo, what was the fate of Li Guogong? Is the emperor really going to move the nobles of these hereditary princes and dukes?
Judging from the decline of these noble hairpins in recent years, the emperor has such a plan, but Li Guogong has the gold medal of the Holy Ancestor, and just because of the invasion of the land, it is not enough to win the knighthood and destroy the coupon.
"What about Yaozhou?"
"The fold has also been presented back over there, His Royal Highness is on the way back, this case is not very involved, it turns out that the Yaozhou Zhishou is making waves behind his back, and the Zhishou has been taken into custody and brought back!"
"So smooth?" Ning Chengyou stared.
"Dali Temple Qing Rao Su is a veteran of solving cases, and with him, it will naturally be smooth sailing with half the effort!" The butler replied.
"Let Todd not let up and stare at it for a while."
"Yes." The butler took the order and hurriedly retreated.
Li Guogong! Is the emperor going to use the boss as a sword to cut down Li Guogong?
After thinking about it and having no clue, Ning Chengyou took a sip and drank the cup of cold tea on the table next to him, and pondered again.
*******
Early the next morning, a carriage came to the palace, Du Yiyi's luggage only had a box of clothes and some sundries and gifts for several mothers, and Xu's mother only had a small box of things, which was carried by a subordinate and said goodbye to Shen Ke Lu Xiangxue, and Xu's mother helped Du Yiyi to get into the carriage and go to the palace.
As soon as Du Yiyi left, Shen Ke changed into a court dress and rushed to the palace in a sedan chair to go to the early court, yesterday's emperor's words were still ringing in his ears, Shen Ke thought about it all night last night and couldn't sleep, and he had a preliminary judgment on today's affairs, since the emperor wanted him to go to Li Guogong's mansion, he was definitely not invited to clarify the case, he should have other ideas, and he could take people with him, and he could only arrest people, and Li Guogong's Holy Ancestor Gold Medal, just such a case of invading the land could not be compared with Yangming Bobi, the emperor today, There should be something else to be announced.
Li Guogong is also a hairpin family that has been inherited for two generations, but now it may be defeated or even fall, Shen Ke's heart, more or less a little melancholy, that is, when he changed his court clothes, he also lost his soul and buttoned one button less, or Lu Xiangxue carefully buttoned it for him, the emperor has been holding these hereditary princes and dukes all these years, first the Duke of Anguo destroyed the family of the marquis, and then the Marquis of Lin'an Qingping was taken away and destroyed, and then the Earl of Yangming seized the coupon, and now it is Li Guogong, now count, Those hereditary noble families are almost the same as the defeat of the lord, and there are only a few families left who are not in the climate, thinking of those vivid memories of the year, Shen Ke couldn't help but shudder, and put down the sedan curtain that was lifted with one hand.
Du Yiyi didn't expect that halfway through, she would see the old woman and her husband standing in front of the royal street, the two of them supported each other and stood on the tuyere of the royal street, stretched their necks and looked inside.
So early in the morning, her husband didn't carry a burden, Du Yiyi thought about it, and understood that this should be looking for herself.
She stopped the carriage and put on a rabbit fur cloak and walked up to the two of them.
"Girl, it's finally time for you." When the old woman saw Du Yiyi, she was happy and took her hand.
"In order to wait for you, she dragged me to get up early in the morning, and she didn't wait for you, and she was still complaining that I got up late!" The old man hurriedly twisted the loose collar for the old woman.
"Old woman, what are you looking for me?" Du Yiyi dragged the old woman to a place where she could shelter from the wind.
"Girl, I have received such a big benefit from you, I always feel that I can't live with you, I heard that you are going to enter the palace to learn what etiquette, so I brought you some sachets, you don't need to enter the palace to see those maids, but it is also good to give them to those palace maids." The old woman said and handed the burden on her back to Du Yiyi's hands.
Du Yiyi didn't shirk and gave it to Xu's mother behind her.
"Old woman, then I'll take it, now you should be at ease!"
The old woman nodded happily.
"Okay, it's windy here, you go back first, and on the day I get married, I will definitely invite you to come and drink the wedding wine."
The old woman said a few good words and held Du Yiyi's heart for a while, and then reluctantly left with her husband, although the two people who supported each other in the wind were old and approaching the twilight, but this rare love for each other, how many couples had? Du Yiyi watched the two walk away, and then tightened her cloak and returned to the carriage.
After the holy decree was made yesterday, the palace cleaned up a palace for Du Yiyi, which was a palace that had been empty for a long time, and the cleaning and placement were also brand new, because Du Yiyi came into the palace to learn etiquette and only brought an old mother, the queen had asked the inner chamberlain to arrange a few maids for her to her, and put things away, and the people of the Shen Mansion went out of the house, Du Yiyi was not busy cleaning up, and first took Xu's mother to the queen's Chang'an Palace.
Because Du Yiyi entered the palace early in the morning, and happened to meet several other ladies to greet the queen, now that the marriage has been decided, it is impossible for Concubine Chang to be close to her, as soon as she saw Du Yiyi entering, her smiling face was cold, but Concubine De and Concubine Chen were full of praise for her smile.
"I've seen the queen's mother, Concubine Chang's mother, Concubine De's mother, and Concubine Chen's mother!"
Although the queen has a grudge against Ning Zhiyuan's horizontal knife robbery, she must not be able to vent and show it at this time to let Concubine Chang see the joke, the fact is that after the emperor told her that she wanted Du Yiyi to enter the palace to learn etiquette, she chose three aunts, all of whom are her henchmen, as long as she confesses, she can make Du Yiyi's life in the harem for half a month not go well.
"Get up, I'm tired from running around early in the morning, I should rest first and then come to me." The queen said and asked the palace maid to serve tea and give a seat.
When Du Yiyi thanked her seat, the queen smiled and joked with the three concubines: "Originally, the palace thought about who would have such a good fortune to marry a girl like Yiyi, but I didn't expect it to be the fourth, tsk, this is a match made in heaven!" ”
Concubine Chang was speechless, and understood the meaning of this match made in heaven, and immediately smiled and said: "The queen mother is right, the marriage between husband and wife is cultivated by a hundred generations, not a team, and no one can match together, Concubine De, you say yes?" ”
Concubine De pursed her lips and chuckled: "The emperor gave marriage, this is a great grace, Yiyi, you have to honor your father-in-law in the future!" ”
The meaning of the words of the queen and Concubine Chang Du Yiyi couldn't hear it, one was ridiculing her and Ning Zhiyuan's shortcomings, and the other was ridiculing the queen's wishful thinking.
"Okay, the three queens, Yiyi is a little careful." Du Yiyi said, and asked Xu's mother to present the gifts that Lu Xiangxue prepared for her one by one.
"You have a heart." The queen just glanced at it and handed it to Aunt Liu behind her.
Du Yiying smiled and bowed.
Concubine Chang and Concubine Chang also handed over the things to the palace maid behind them and praised Du Yiyi a few words, Concubine Chang sat for a while, and then left under the pretext that she was not feeling well, Concubine De and Concubine Chen also knew that the queen should arrange for Du Yiyi's aunt, so they also retreated with interest.
The three aunts arranged by the queen are all old people in the palace, and they have always been in good order, and they have always been brought out by her, and they are also very familiar with etiquette, these three people are all her people, and Aunt Liu is her confidant, these people are arranged to Du Yiyi's side, of course she is relieved, very relieved.
Du Yiyi thanked the queen, and left with a few aunts, Lu Xiangxue, the thoughts of these ladies in the palace, also mentioned it to her, and asked her to guard against it, after all, she was almost married to Ning Chaoge, as soon as she saw these three aunts who were all the queen's henchmen, Du Yiyi's conjecture in her heart was confirmed by eight or nine points, and she was in the palace for half a month, I am afraid that it is not more sad than being outside the palace.
The place where she lives is called Fangfei Palace, it is the palace of a concubine of the first emperor, after the death of the first emperor, no one lives here and has been empty, it took two days to clean it up, the old window flowers have been replaced with thick Korean paper, the Luo yarn tent has also been put into the box, the thick bedding has also been laid, all kinds of furniture and utensils, there is a stove burning in the palace, the house is warm, Du Yiyi sleeps in the bedroom at this end, the middle is the main hall, and the other side is a room that has been sealed, There are two compartments outside her dormitory, which are for the palace maids who keep vigil to sleep, because Xu's mother has to serve Du Yiyi and the three aunts have to take care of Du Yiyi's every move, this compartment has become a residence for four people.
