Chapter 113: Defeat and Return (1)

Xia Mengning and Eldest Sun Yun returned to Zhuzhiyuan, and they had another exercise to heal their injuries, and several people tossed until the morning before stopping.

Xia Mengning herself didn't have much damage, but the deepest injury was Jiu'er, who was stabbed for her, but fortunately, the eldest grandson Yun brought the best gold sore medicine to temporarily stop Jiu'er's injury.

On the second day, early in the morning, Xia Mengning first went to see Jiu'er and checked her pulse, and then went to Yong'an Hall with Zhulian to ask for peace.

Xia Chuanyuan didn't know about last night's incident, but Xia Mengning deleted the following things, and just told Xia Chuanyuan about his attack.

"What a guts!" Xia Chuanyuan listened to Xia Mengning's words, and immediately became angry, "This person is inevitably too bold, and he dares to stretch out his hand to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”

After speaking, he asked, "Have you ever been hurt?" ”

Xia Mengning shook her head, "Fortunately, the prince passed by and saved me, but my girl Jiu'er blocked a knife for me, and she is still lying on the bed, I don't know when it will be better." ”

Xia Chuanyuan listened and said, "You girl is a protector, it's hard for her to have this heart." ”

As the two were talking, Xiao Liuzi came in and said happily: "Master, third lady, the father-in-law Su in the palace is here, saying that the emperor has a reward." ”

Xia Chuanyuan was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Okay, you go to entertain first, and we'll go right away." ”

After speaking, the two walked to the front hall, and Gonggong Su saw Xia Chuanyuan and Xia Mengning, and hurriedly said: "The slave has seen the Prime Minister, and the third lady!" ”

Xia Mengning blessed her body slightly, which can be regarded as a return gift.

Xia Chuanyuan smiled and said, "Father-in-law Su is a busy man, how can he have time to come to the house?" ”

Su Pu smiled, bent over and said: "The third lady in the house saved the queen mother yesterday, and the emperor chattered, saying that the slave would send some gifts to the third lady, and besides, there was also a holy decree for the slave to announce on his behalf!" ”

Xia Chuanyuan heard this, and hurriedly said to Xiao Liuzi: "Why don't you hurry up and hand over all the people in the house here, hurry!" ”

Xiao Liuzi took the order, and after a while, the people in the house rushed over, Xia Mengning saw Xia Mengyou with a blank face, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, not that she didn't hate her anymore, but that she felt that a child without a mother was pitiful after all, looking at her current appearance, it seemed that she was already stupid.

When Su Pu saw that everyone was coming, he got up from his seat, walked to the front and coughed, "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all fell to their knees.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion Xia Mengning, both ability and political integrity, deferential and modest, specially given to marry the prince of Dingxi, and after the marriage, Xia Mengning's biological mother Ge Shi, the goddaughter has a way, and she is specially given to be promoted to a flat wife, Qin this!"

"Little girl Xia Mengning, thank you for the emperor's marriage, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

"Caomin Ge, thank you Emperor Longen, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Ge Shi and Xia Mengning both thanked him, and Su Pu handed over the holy decree with a smile, and said, "The emperor also ordered the servants to bring a lot of rewards to Miss Xia. ”

As he spoke, he opened a book of folds and read aloud: "The emperor gave the third lady of the Xia family, ten night pearls in the East China Sea, a pair of coral jade pendants, two pigeon blood rubies, a pair of jade ruyi, a pair of ivory screens, a pair of red gold steps, six jewel collars, and ten fine palace brocades, and one hundred taels of gold!" ”

After reading a long list of rewards, Xia Mengning had already knelt on the ground and thanked him, Su Pu stood up with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the third young lady." ”

Xia Mengning turned sideways slightly, avoiding his salute.

After Su Pu finished speaking, Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly asked, "I wonder if Grandpa Su can know the news of the dog?" ”

Hearing this, Su Pu paused slightly, and then said: "This, the affairs of the previous dynasty, the servants are not very clear, the prime minister should go and ask the emperor in person." ”

Xia Chuanyuan was stunned in his heart, knowing that Su Pu would not say too much to himself, so he immediately changed his mind, and also talked about the side words, diverting the topic.

After talking, Xia Mengning and Zhulian retreated, and walked out of the door of the front hall, Xia Mengning saw Xia Mengran and Xia Zhishen who were standing outside talking to each other.

Zhu Lian saw it, and said to Xia Mengning: "Miss, Miss Fifth must have waited here on purpose, if Miss is over, maybe she will say something to Miss." ”

Xia Mengning chuckled, but she didn't turn around and continued to walk forward.

Seeing Xia Mengning's master and servant, Xia Mengran's expression didn't change much, but he said lightly: "Sister congratulations to the third sister!" ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "Don't dare!" ”

Xia Mengran hooked her lips lightly, but she was trying her best to calm her body and not tremble, "The third sister is now a nobleman, and she can get the emperor's gift to marry to the palace to be the princess, and even with the fourth aunt, the mother is also expensive by her son, what else does the third sister dare not be?!" ”

The ridicule and jealousy between the tones were nakedly reflected, Xia Mengning smiled, "The fifth sister should know that sometimes there will be in life, just like me, but for the fifth sister, you are not forced to ask for it all the time in your life, and my sister advises you to conform to the will of heaven, so as not to force yourself to demand yourself and end up sad in vain." ”

After Xia Mengning finished speaking, the person opposite turned white in an instant, but Xia Zhishen stood on the side and looked at the two of them with his arms crossed, just smiling, but not speaking.

Xia Mengran was angry for a while, then she was relieved, shook the handkerchief in her hand, and said calmly: "The third sister's teachings, my sister remembers it in my heart, I only hope that the third sister will be undefeated, and it will be good every year." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left with Xiao Lu.

Seeing Xia Mengran leaving, Xia Mengning also nodded towards Xia Zhishen and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhishen said: "The third sister is sharp-toothed, I guess, during my absence, my father valued the third sister so much, I am afraid that it is inseparable from the third sister's clever tongue, right?" ”

Xia Mengning turned around and looked at the person in front of him with a pair of beautiful eyes, "If the second brother is willing to show his true face earlier, I am afraid that he will be loved by his father even more than the eldest brother." ”

Xia Zhishen pretended not to know, Xia Mengning smiled: "The second brother is carefully managing his own affairs, and my sister doesn't dare to say anything, but the second brother has martial arts, but he doesn't let his father know, the second brother said, if his father knows that you deliberately concealed it from him, what would he think?" ”

Xia Zhishen blinked, "The third sister is really as careful as a hair. ”

Xia Mengning smiled, shook her head and said, "Don't dare to be, when the second brother thinks that he has caught someone else's handle, he still needs to make sure that his tail is cleaned up first." ”

After speaking, Xia Mengning nodded: "Farewell!" So he went back to the Bamboo Branch Garden with Zhulian.

After a few days of dull days, Ge's status in the mansion rose sharply because he was carried to his wife, and the Fang family was sent out of the mansion, and now the Ge clan is dominant in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and for a while, the wind in the Prime Minister's Mansion changed direction.

Jiu'er's injuries are getting better day by day, and she can gradually sit up and lean for a while, Xia Mengning goes to check her pulse every day and checks her injuries on time.

Time has entered the winter, Ge's belly is getting bigger day by day, Xia Mengning is more and more concerned, and usually runs to Mei Fangyuan when he is fine, and the days are light and fulfilling.

In the morning, Xia Mengning finished breakfast, and Jiu'er Zhulian and the two of them were fiddling with the white plum that had just been folded back in the house, when they saw that the thick door curtain was opened, Wu Qingsan jumped in, and rushed straight to the stove in the middle of the room, panting.

Xia Mengning was about to say a few words to her, when she saw the door curtain being opened again, and Changsun Yun, who was wearing a dark blue mink cloak, walked in.

"You ......" Xia Mengning was very surprised, Wu Qing squeezed her eyes at her, rubbed her hands and glanced at Jiu'er and Zhulian, and the three of them quietly retreated.

Xia Mengning walked off the couch, walked to the side of Changsun Yun, stood on tiptoe to help him untie his felt hat, and said, "Why are you here, if you are seen, I am afraid that you will cause gossip again." ”

Eldest Sun Yun smiled, his cheeks were blown by the cold wind, and he felt a little unable to move when he smiled like this.

Xia Mengning looked at his appearance, covered her mouth and smiled, bent down to add a piece of charcoal to the stove, poured warm tea and handed it over, "Drink some hot to warm up!" ”

Changsun Yun took it with a smile, sat down to the side and said, "I didn't expect that you also planted plum blossoms in this yard, I just came from the bamboo forest, and I thought I was wrong." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, fiddling with the scattered plum blossom branches on the table, looking left and right, he cut the small branches with scissors before inserting them into the white porcelain bottle.

After finishing it, Xia Mengning raised her head and said, "Why did you want to come here?" Can I help you? ”

The eldest grandson Yun held the tea in both hands, curled his lips and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss it very much!" ”

Xia Mengning raised her head and looked at the appearance of the eldest grandson, and smiled softly, "When did the prince learn to be so flamboyant, so shameless!" ”

Eldest Sun Yun nodded indifferently, "Since you have already given marriage, what is there to be ashamed of?" ”

Xia Mengning didn't make a sound, just turned sideways slightly, took out an unfinished purse from the sewing box on the table on the side and embroidered it with a needle, and the eldest grandson Yun saw that he was ignored, so he had to put down the teacup and flattered: "Okay, I won't say it anymore." ”

Xia Mengning glanced up at him, "What is the matter with you here?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun leaned forward and said, "Do you know that there has always been a war at the junction of the Western Regions and my country recently. ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "I heard that the deputy general is my eldest brother?" Why, it can't be something, right? ”

Eldest Sun Yun shook his head, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the front line has been defeated, and your eldest brother has just been cut from his post and was recalled by the imperial uncle to the capital to be the city gate guard." ”

Xia Mengning laughed out loud, and then said in confusion: "This has been reduced from the deputy general to the commander of the gate, I don't know if my eldest brother will be angry when he finds out?" ”

Seeing her smiling happily, the eldest grandson Yun said, "Today I am here to bid farewell to you." ”

Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, then realized something, tilted her head and asked, "Did the emperor think that there was fraud in it, so he asked you to go and investigate?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun stretched out his hand and touched Xia Mengning's head, and said approvingly: "So smart! ”

Xia Mengning dodged his hand, his expression became solemn, "The emperor must have noticed something, otherwise, he wouldn't let you go." ”

Eldest Sun Yun nodded, "Our army has always won most of the battles with the Western Regions, but these few times they have all been defeated, and Uncle Huang has already become suspicious in his heart. ”

Xia Meng pondered for a while and said, "Have you found out who was related to what happened last time?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun nodded, "It's the wife of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, that is, the mother of your former mother-in-law." ”

Xia Mengning frowned, thought for a while, and said, "How can she drive the people of the Western Regions, and she is also a top master?" ”

After speaking, Xia Mengning looked up as if she suddenly remembered something, and said: "Do you remember the incident of the snake beauty last time, the Fang clan can get the strange spices of the Western Regions, it must be inseparable from the Zhenguo Mansion, and now all kinds of signs are pointing to the Zhenguo Mansion, you say, why?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun thought for a while before he said with a solemn expression: "I know, this line, I'm afraid it has been going on under our noses for many days." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, bit off the embroidery thread on the purse with her teeth, carefully wiped the folds on it, and handed it to the eldest grandson Yundao: "This is dangerous, remember not to be reckless, be careful in everything!" ”

The eldest grandson Yun took the purse, and saw that the words 'peace and happiness' were embroidered on it, and he was amused, but he still took it.

Xia Mengning saw his appearance, and said a little unnaturally: "What's the matter, doesn't the prince of the world look down on such rough embroidery skills, and if you can't look down on ......it, you will return it to me."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab it, and Changsun Yun removed his hand with a smile, took the purse into his arms, and said with a smile: "When did I say I didn't like it, but I think you don't like to embroider bamboo, pine, and cypress Dapeng like to spread your wings like ordinary women, but you just embroidered four words for me, and I felt a little surprised." ”

Xia Mengning pouted, "The green bamboo pine and cypress can certainly show the integrity of the wearer, and the wings of Dapeng are also an excellent meaning, but the root of all this is still to be enjoyed by peace, I embroidered these four words, I just hope you can always remember, be careful in everything, and I will pray for you every day, may you be safe." ”

Xia Mengning said, lowered her head, the gilded hairpin in her hair was crooked, and a few strands of hair fell from her neck.

"I will!"

Eldest Sun Yun said softly, reached out and held Xia Mengning's hand holding the plum blossom branch, and the two glanced at each other, but silence was better than sound.
