Chapter 193: Scheming (2)
Zheng Yuxiu nodded and said gently: "Miss Zheng, what you have seen is the woman who was by Zheng Guogong's side that day, she is sixteen years old, she is a good age, Miss Zheng is not only beautiful like a flower, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and this life experience is also good." ”
The eldest grandson sat on the seat, listening to Zheng Yuxiu's list of reasons, it seemed that he had to marry, or that such a woman could marry him, a person who was not able to do anything, it must be a blessing that he had cultivated in his previous life.
Helpless, the eldest grandson had to smile bitterly, "The child knows." ”
Seeing that the eldest grandson was indifferent, the eldest grandson was a little angry and said, "Don't always think about what you have, the wedding date is set for three days later, you should prepare quickly." ”
After speaking, the eldest grandson turned around and walked out, Zheng Yuxiu walked down to the side of the eldest grandson, and asked softly, "Li'er, do you have something unspeakable?" ”
The eldest grandson was stunned, then raised his head and smiled reluctantly, "There is no mother, the child just knows that he is going to get married suddenly, and he is a little apprehensive, it's okay." ”
Saying that, the eldest grandson stood up, hugged his fists at Zheng Yuxiu and said, "Mother, the child is a little tired, go back to rest first." ”
Zheng Yuxiu nodded and watched the eldest grandson walk out.
The marriage soon got up, and when the eldest grandson Yun sat in the bamboo branch garden and told Xia Mengning the news, Xia Mengning was really surprised, stopped the embroidery work at hand, Xia Mengning raised his head and said in disbelief: "Zheng Guogong only has Zheng Donglin's son, and everyone knows how much he loves others on weekdays, I thought that this time the eldest grandson was dead, and I didn't think ......about it."
As she spoke, Xia Mengning sighed.
Eldest Sun Yun smiled, "Yesterday I went into the palace to play chess with Uncle Huang, and I can hear the clues from what Uncle Huang said, my second brother must have made a knife for someone, otherwise, how could he be so easy to get angry when he has always been steady and honest?" ”
When Xia Mengning heard this, she was also thoughtful, raised her head and said: "I was also present that day, just from my point of view, the cause of Zheng Donglin's death is very suspicious, and the time when the eldest grandson was angry is such a coincidence, this has to make people suspect the strangeness of this." ”
Eldest Sun Yun nodded, his hands were fast while eating chestnuts, he peeled a chestnut completely and handed it to Xia Mengning, and said with a smile: "You are so smart, you should be able to guess who is making trouble behind." ”
Xia Mengning had an object of suspicion in her heart, but she didn't dare to confirm it, she took the chestnut and put it in her mouth to chew, and listened to Changsun Yun's slow guidance: "First, this person must have a lot of power, otherwise this series of actions would not have gone so smoothly, second, this person must have something to do with Zheng Donglin or my second brother, otherwise he wouldn't have done it for nothing, third, this person must have been present that day, otherwise, how could he control the development of things like this?" ”
After listening to this, Xia Mengning took a sip of the tea in front of him, and said, "If it is as you said, then this person can only be the princess." ”
Eldest Sun Yun smiled and handed the chestnut meat in his hand to the plate in front of Xia Mengning, "My Ning'er is smart." ”
Xia Mengning remembered Zheng Yuxiu's various expressions and performances at that time, and Zheng Donglin's face when he was lying on the ground was definitely not as simple as being beaten to death, but thinking of why this princess wanted to kill Zheng Donglin so hard, Xia Mengning was a little puzzled.
Eldest Sun Yun saw Xia Mengning's doubts and said, "Don't you understand why Zheng Yuxiu killed Zheng Donglin in such a roundabout way?" ”
Xia Mengning nodded, "I don't understand, if I have to say a reason, it must be because of the princess's mother, I heard that Zheng Donglin's biological mother is a Qinglou woman, relying on herself to give birth to a son, she will definitely not give the princess peace of mind......"
Eldest Sun Yun smiled, "That's the reason, you see, in the eyes of these powerful people, human life is worthless, as long as it is someone who hinders them, they will die without exception." ”
Xia Mengning smiled, "It's as if you're not a powerful person." ”
Eldest Sun Yunfeng's eyes were slightly raised, and he leaned forward and smiled: "My little Ning'er, are you going to make me angry again?" You know the consequences of being angry......"
Xia Mengning remembered the last time the two of them were in the carriage, she couldn't help blushing a little, glared at Changsun Yun, and pushed the needlework basket in her hand over, "Every time you come to me, you only eat and don't work, and you won't be able to do it in the future, if you want to drink tea and eat snacks, you have to do some work." ”
Changsun Yun stretched out his finger and touched the needlework basket on the table, and said, "What is this?" ”
Xia Mengning rolled her eyes at him rarely, "I actually forgot that you are a young master who does not eat fireworks in the world." ”
After speaking, Xia Mengning didn't pay attention to him, lowered his head and continued to embroider the clothes in his hand, the wedding dress has been ready, all that remains is to embroider the pattern on the wedding dress, Xia Mengning split the silk thread into six strands, twisted them into a red color, and embroidered layers of patterns on the cuffs one by one, Changsun Yun looked at it and smiled slightly, "Ning'er, I really want time to pass faster and marry you back earlier." ”
Xia Mengning didn't raise his head, "When the time comes, you won't be annoyed when you are together all day?" ”
Eldest Sun Yun shook his head again and again, "How come?" I can promise you that I will never bully you in the future, and I will definitely help you bully back if anyone bullies you. ”
Xia Mengning raised her head and looked at Eldest Sun Yun's serious expression, and finally couldn't help but smile, her heart was overflowing with happiness.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the eldest grandson and Zheng Ruilan got married, and the palace was full of red double happiness words, and there were new furniture just put on everywhere.
In the Guogong Mansion, Zheng Rui was woken up by the girl before the blue sky was bright, got up to bathe and change clothes, and carefully traced his makeup in front of the dressing mirror.
Xia Mengning was also invited, in the spring season, it was not very cold, Xia Mengning did not go into the house to join in the fun, but just stood under the porch in the garden outside, silently watching the scenery.
Most of the people invited were Zheng Ruilan's handkerchiefs, and Xia Mengning was only invited by face, purely because her father was the prime minister, so Xia Mengning just stood under the porch and didn't go in to join in the fun.
It's not for nothing that people like Xia Mengning are here, Xia Mengning was standing in a daze, when she heard a voice behind her, "Xia Mengning, you're here too?" ”
Xia Mengning turned her head, and saw that the person who spoke was the eldest grandson Xinyue, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and remembered the contradiction she had with this seventh princess, Xia Mengning couldn't help but take a step back and said lightly: "The little girl has seen Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
The eldest grandson Xinyue smiled and said happily: "Why are you so polite?" Aren't we all old acquaintances? ”
With such a warm tone, Xia Mengning was a little surprised, and when she looked at the eldest grandson Xinyue, there was also a bit of scrutiny in her eyes.
The eldest grandson Xinyue knew what Xia Mengning was thinking, so she just smiled at the moment, and said with the posture of a little daughter: "Sister Xia, it was my fault before, because I didn't know who you were, I just listened to Sister Ziran, so I thought you were a bad person." ”
Xia Mengning smiled, "Don't dare, the princess is too worried." ”
The eldest grandson Xinyue took Xia Mengning's hand and shook it: "Sister Xia, I really want to reconcile with you, I used to be ignorant, but now I really know that everything must be seen with my eyes and felt with my heart before I can make a judgment, Sister Xia, I think you are really a good person, can you forgive me for my previous mistakes?" ”
Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, she never thought that the eldest grandson Xinyue would say such a thing to herself, but when she first knew this princess, she knew that she had no scheming, but she was a little too simple, so she was played by Yu Ziran, and now if she really doesn't want to be embarrassed by herself, then there is no harm in herself.
Thinking of this, Xia Mengning smiled lightly, "In the past, the little girl never took it to heart. ”
When the eldest grandson Xinyue heard this, she was immediately very happy, and she grabbed Xia Mengning's hand and said happily: "Sister Xia, you forgive me, we will be good friends in the future, right?" ”
Xia Mengning looked at the eyes of the eldest grandson Xinyue, shining, like a pool of clear lake water, without any impurities, she suddenly remembered that Liu Shihan once looked at herself, and it was so simple, in their hearts, there were not too many thoughts about one thing, only yes or no, they didn't know what to say when they spoke, and they didn't know what kind of people to say.
Xia Mengning suddenly felt a lot of emotion in her heart, she reached out and gently touched the face of the eldest grandson Xinyue, and said with a smile: "The princess is very beautiful and cute, it must be a great honor for the little girl to be friends with the princess." ”
It's just that, given that the eldest grandson Xinyue was born to the queen, Xia Mengning still can't be too close to her.
The eldest grandson Xinyue was very happy, standing beside Xia Mengning and said: "Sister Xia, you don't know, I was ordered by my father to accompany the old lady to chant these days, and I can only eat fast every day, for more than two months, I have no taste in my mouth, today I heard that there are lively things, I begged my father to let me come, for nothing else, it is the table of delicacies in the palace." ”
The eldest grandson Xinyue said seriously, her brows were wrinkled in distress at first, and when she talked about delicious food later, her big eyes seemed to shine, which provoked Jiu'er behind Xia Mengning to cover her mouth and laugh, Xia Mengning immediately turned her head and said to Jiu'er: "Don't be presumptuous, the princess is also something you can make fun of?" ”
Jiu'er hurriedly stopped, but the eldest grandson Xinyue didn't care, "It's okay Sister Xia, the concubine said, it's all kind laughter, I will judge." ”
Xia Mengning didn't expect the eldest grandson Xinyue to say this, and said with a smile: "It's really ...... that a princess of a big country would go to eat the dishes at someone's wedding banquet."
As he spoke, he tapped the forehead of the eldest grandson Xinyue and smiled.
At this time, the little girl beside Zheng Ruilan had already walked out and let the young ladies in.
Xia Mengning knew that it was time to add a box.
Zheng Ruilan saw Xia Mengning, her originally beaming face instantly cooled down, and several of everyone's daughters gave their own gifts, and when it was Xia Mengning's turn, a little girl gave a small box, which contained eighteen pearls of all sizes, although they were not precious, but when it came to the friendship between Xia Mengning and Zheng Ruilan, these were also acceptable.
Zheng Ruilan painted exquisite makeup, sat on the side and looked at Xia Mengning, and snorted coldly: "I received Miss Xia's gift today, I am really flattered, Miss Xia is the future princess, I really wronged Miss Xia if I asked Miss Xia to add a box to me." ”
There are several things in the daughters present Zheng Ruilan's handkerchief, and they also heard Zheng Ruilan say about it, although they despise Xia Mengning from the bottom of their hearts, they don't dare to say it, after all, Xia Mengning's identity is there, and they can't afford to offend.
But among them, some people don't know the current affairs, and after listening to Zheng Ruilan's words, he said: "Yes, Miss Xia is not something we can compare." ”
The person who spoke was Dong Wanwan, after the news of Liu Shihan's Xia Zhihan's engagement was known by Dong Wanwan, Dong Wanwan felt that there must be Xia Mengning in it, so she took this opportunity to hate Xia Mengning.
Xia Mengning smiled, "Today is Miss Zheng's big day, it's better to say more auspicious words." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Zheng Ruilan with a light smile, put the box in his hand on the table next to him, and walked to the side to sit down, as if ignoring Dong Wanwan's existence.
In this comparison, Xia Mengning's daughter's temperament is more than enough than Dong Wanwan, and everyone looked at Dong Wanwan with a smile and whispered.
Where can Dong Wanwan stand this kind of treatment, when she even stiffened her neck and said: "Some people just pretend to be high, obviously they are not from a high background, but they are willing to pretend to be beautiful on someone's occasion, what is the inside, do you think we don't know?" ”
