Chapter 260: Door-to-door dignitaries
"How can it be, this king has promised to accompany you around. Besides, my mother-in-law finally came once, and this king still has time even if he is busy. "It gets dark early in winter, and it feels like it's already dark soon after I get up from my lunch break. Seeing that King Hong insisted, Li thought that the two of them would finally meet, so he casually found a reason to go back to the room. There were only King Hong and An Wanru left in the pavilion, and An Wanru smiled a little shyly, "Lord Wang......"
"Like, have you missed this king during this time?" King Hong stepped forward, staring at her with unscrupulous eyes, although An Wanru really wanted to marry into King Hong's Mansion as soon as possible, but in the end, it was a girl's family, and she was a little shy when asked by a man like this, "Lord Wang, didn't you already ask just now?" "If you're so embarrassed, don't ask again. King Hong seemed to be deliberate, staring straight at her with his eyes, not giving in at all, "My mother-in-law was here just now, and this king didn't hear it clearly, and now this king wants you to say it again to this king in front of this king." It's like, this king misses you, I want to think about it very much, do you miss this king? ”
"Of course people want to be the king. It's just that I'm worried about disturbing the prince, so I don't dare to come to disturb the prince even if I think about it. An Wan seemed to be leaning on King Hong's arms, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, "Lord, if I miss you in the future, can I come to the palace to see you?" I don't know what my eldest brother thinks, he always talks about etiquette and face, but I have long been a person of the prince, according to his thoughts, shouldn't we get married earlier? Why didn't he say anything this time? ”
"Your eldest brother may still not believe in this king." A touch of loss flashed in King Hong's eyes, "After all, the impression of this king in his heart has never been very good, but just like you, don't blame your eldest brother, he also has his troubles......" An Wanru saw that King Hong not only did not blame An Mingchen, but also helped him speak, and felt more and more that An Mingchen was not good, "Don't mention my eldest brother to speak, where does he have any troubles, he is just worried that I will marry better than him, and he will see my face in the future." ”
"You tell this king not to be angry, then what about you, don't be angry either. If you are like this, this king will be distressed. King Hong held her in his arms and comforted her in a low voice, "Does your eldest brother know about your visit to the palace today?" Now that you and your mother-in-law don't go back, if you let Lord An know, will he blame this king again, why don't you ......"
"The prince doesn't have to pay attention to this, I'll find someone to go back and talk to my eldest brother later. As for what he thinks, I don't care at all. With my mother here, even if my eldest brother is unhappy, he won't really do anything to me. "The Li clan is An Wanru's upper sword, but I don't know what the effect is.
At ten o'clock in the evening, An Mingchen and Huangfu Xue returned to the West Courtyard, and soon after sitting down, a small servant sent a letter, An Mingchen looked at the signature on the letter, and opened the envelope in confusion, the letter was not long, and it took a moment to read it, and the moment he put down the letter, An Mingchen looked angry. Huangfu Xue sat aside and drank tea, and looked up when she noticed that something was wrong with her anger, "What's the matter, what is written in the letter, why is your face so ugly." ”
An Mingchen didn't speak, Huangfu Xue took the letter and read it quickly, and after half a ring, the corners of her mouth twitched and twitched, "The letter said that my mother and second sister would stay in Hongwangfu for a few days." This...... What do the mother and the second sister think, the second sister has not yet married King Hong, and she lives in the past, isn't she afraid of being gossiped about? There is also a mother, she is a mother, and she personally sends her daughter to the door, if you let outsiders know and don't know how to laugh at us, we don't have a tutor. ”
Although Huang Fuxue has always known that the Li family is unreliable, after Li Caiyi's incident, the Li family has been a lot more low-key recently. originally thought that she had changed her sex, but now it seems that she is really easy to change her nature. What the hell does she think, she doesn't care about the face of the Huangfu family, doesn't she care about An Mingchen's face? If colleagues knew about it, An Mingchen wouldn't know how to be impeached. In addition, the matter of the last time has not been clarified, and the emperor has not relaxed his vigilance against the name of the case, if it comes out like this again, An Mingchen is afraid that he will become the laughing stock of the court.
"Xianggong, let's go, let's go and pick up my mother and second sister now." They must not be allowed to stay in the palace overnight, otherwise it will be unclear when the time comes, An Mingchen looked displeased, and sat motionless at the table. Huang Fuxue walked a few steps and saw that there was no movement behind him, so he turned his head to look, "Xianggong, why haven't you moved, you know the seriousness of this matter very well in your heart, and you should also know what King Hong's idea is, it will be too late." ”
"Even if we pass, can you guarantee that my mother and second sister will come back with us?" An Mingchen sneered twice, "That's it, let them toss." Since they don't hit the south wall and don't look back, let them hit their heads and bleed. When the time comes, they'd better not come to me and cry. An Mingchen held back his anger, and this conversation was full of resentment. Huangfu Xue knew that he was uncomfortable, so she stepped forward and pulled him over, "Xianggong, I know you are uncomfortable, but now is not the time to lose your temper, let's go and get them back first, and wait until you come back, okay?" ”
An Mingchen was silent, Huangfu Xue called the magpie to prepare the carriage, and she pulled An Mingchen out slowly, "Okay, don't be angry." Wait, if you don't want to speak, I'll help you teach your second sister a lesson. made her not understand Xianggong's kindness. Huangfu Xue was looking for a topic to try to make An Mingchen happy. An Mingchen stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, looking at the dark night, and sighed heavily, "I'm not blaming them, I'm blaming myself, maybe I'm too incompetent, otherwise why would they do this......"
"It has nothing to do with you, Xianggong, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, all you can do is do your right to do what you can do well, as for the rest, we are just ordinary people, and there are many things that we can't control. Don't put so much pressure on yourself, trust me. I'll help you. ”
"yes, you'll always be there for me." An Mingchen touched her head and pulled her into the carriage. Half an hour later, at the gate of King Hong's mansion. King Hong was chatting with the Li family in the hall, and when he heard the next person say that An Mingchen and Huangfu Xue were coming, he stood up apologetically, "Lord An came here so late for the sake of his mother-in-law, and he blamed this king for such a big matter, he should have personally told Lord An in advance." ”
"How can you blame the prince. It's what I'm going to leave on. Don't worry, if the boss wants to blame the prince, I will explain it to the boss. Li said with a nonchalant expression. At this time, An Mingchen and Huang Fuxue walked in, the two stepped forward to salute, and then glanced at An Wanru and the Li family, Huang Fuxue was worried that An Mingchen would be angry, so she spoke first, "Mother, second sister, you see that this hour is not early, should we also go home." As he spoke, he looked at King Hong again, "Lord Wang, I'm sorry for today." ”
"It doesn't matter, this king likes to be lively. However, this king is blessed, and he has no relatives, and he feels very kind when he sees the old lady today, so he forgets the time and asks Lord An not to blame. ”
"The prince laughed, the family of the lower official disturbed the prince, and it should be the lower official to say thank you." An Mingchen looked at King Hong and said meaningfully. King Hong pretended not to understand the tension in his words, and shook his head with a smile, "An Da is polite, we will be a family in a short time, and the family will not speak two words." The mother-in-law is also half of the king's mother, and the king should take more care of her. ”
"What is the identity of the prince, how can we climb high. Please also ask the prince to be cautious. An Mingchen glanced at Huangfu Xue, and when Huangfu Xue turned her head to look for An Wanru, she found that she didn't know when An Wanru was gone, seeing this, she hurriedly spoke, "What about the second sister, mother, did you see the second sister just now?" ”
"I just saw her coming......" Li's eyes dodged, and he didn't tell the truth at first glance. Huangfu Xue didn't know what she was thinking, so she couldn't care about her words and deeds, so she pulled Li Shi and whispered, "Mother, don't mess around, do you know how much trouble you are going to bring to Xianggong like this, where is the second sister, hurry up and hand her over and we will go home." ”
"Eldest daughter-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about, why is the prince an outsider, how can you make trouble for us, if you can't speak, don't speak. Didn't we just stay in the palace for two days, we were all our own family, what was the fuss, okay, didn't I already write to you about the situation, what are you going to do, the hour is not early, you should leave quickly. Not only did the Li family not reflect at all, but also did not appreciate it at all, and directly pushed Huangfu Xue out.
When passing by An Mingchen, An Mingchen pulled Huangfu Xue behind him and glanced at Li with a cold eye, "Mother, follow me home." Li was displeased, "Boss, my mother has promised the prince just now that she will stay in the palace for two days, you see that your second sister has finally been together with the prince for two days, so don't get in the way here." Hurry up and take your daughter-in-law back. The Li family knew that An Mingchen had a bad relationship with the prince, and was worried that he would stay any longer and have a conflict with the prince, so he would drive people out directly.
An Mingchen held back his anger, took a deep breath and spoke again, "Mother, I'll say it again, call the second sister, let's go home immediately." Li Shi was also anxious when he saw him so stubborn, "I said, why are you so dead-eyed." On weekdays, I mentioned to you the marriage of the second child, and you looked like you loved to ignore it, I finally brought her to the palace and wanted her to have more contact with the prince, you don't want to fulfill them and run to break them up, what kind of heart do you have. ”
"What heart do I have? Mother, I still want to ask you, what do you think, do you really think about your second sister? An Mingchen was almost out of control by Li's anger, Huangfu Xue pulled her sleeve, turned her head and gave the magpie a look, the magpie slipped out of the hall to look outside for a while, and slipped back when he found An Wanru's whereabouts.
"Miss......," said the magpie, gesturing outside. When Huangfu Xue heard this, she pulled An Mingchen and went directly outside without saying a word. Seeing this, King Hong and the Li family also followed.
