Chapter 17: King Kang Arrives
Early the next morning, Nan Huaifeng entered the palace to go to court, but guests came to the Forbidden Palace.
"King Kang?" Jiang Ziyu put down the book in his hand, what did he do? Although he was curious, he also straightened his clothes and took Xingyu to the front hall.
Liuying and Zipo were closely protected, during which Jiang Ziyu inquired about the origin of this King Kang.
"King Kang is the uncle of the prince, he has long been out of court, and he has many heirs, and the one last night was his youngest son Nanxun, and King Kang came to the door today for this matter." Zipo still knows more about this kind of thing, Liuying is only twelve years old, and he is raised in the mansion and rarely comes into contact with these.
Jiang Ziyu had some square inches in her heart, and she hurried to the front hall, but she didn't expect Su Li and Zhang to be entertaining.
"Lord Kang is well, why are you here?" Jiang Ziyu ignored Su Li and Zhang, although she was the regent princess, but King Kang was an elder and still had to be respected, and she saluted with a slight blessing, but she was not a person who talked about the rules much, so she pulled a chair and sat down by herself after saying hello.
King Kang put down the teacup in his hand and glared at Nan Xun beside him, Nan Xun immediately greeted Jiang Ziyu and said: "Yesterday, the dog disturbed the princess, so this king came to apologize today." ”
"Prince Kang is serious, but a few gossips, the palace didn't take it to heart, and please rest assured, this matter is in the past."
Jiang Ziyu didn't take this matter to heart, Nan Xun was just a spoiled child in her eyes, and it didn't hurt for her to say a few wrong words.
"The princess is generous, but the dog is wrong, it is wrong, bring him to the princess to punish him today, and we will not have half a complaint in King Kang's mansion." King Kang learned from his son's close attendants that he was talking about Nan Huaifeng and the guards around the princess heard it, and the two sides clashed.
This matter is not big or small, but if it is brought up again in the future, this will be a disaster for King Kang's Mansion, which will definitely be criticized.
Jiang Ziyu's eyes moved slightly to know the intention of King Kang, and replied indifferently: "This palace knows what Prince Kang is worried about, but don't worry, since I said that this matter is over, it is in the past." ”
Prince Kang chuckled and beckoned to the guards beside him, and then the guards walked up to Jiang Ziyu and bowed down with two fine mahogany boxes inlaid with emeralds.
"This is some apologies from this king, and I hope that the forbidden princess can accept it."
Xingyu lowered her eyes and stared at the princess's expression all the time, and when she saw her nodding, she stepped forward and took the two boxes from the guards.
"In this way, this palace will not shirk." Jiang Ziyu accepted the gift politely, if she didn't accept King Kang, she wouldn't be at ease, maybe it would be too troublesome to offer any courtesy.
King Kang glared at Nan Xun again, Nan Xun no longer had no one in the eyes of the drunken immortal building, but shrunk forward and knelt down in front of Jiang Ziyu: "Yesterday, I was arrogant and ruined the princess's interest, thank you princess for her magnanimity and ignorance of previous suspicions." ”
Jiang Ziyu didn't expect King Kang to go out so open-mindedly, and he was so willing to let his young son kowtow in front of her and admit his mistakes, seeing that his sincerity was good, she didn't want to be embarrassed, "You get up." ”
Nan Xun honestly stood up from the ground and retreated to King Kang's side, Jiang Ziyu took a sip of tea, and had no intention of saying anything more.
After all, King Kang is an old man, and immediately got up and said with a smile: "Since the suspicion is solved, then the king and the dog will not bother, if the princess is idle, there are a lot of strange flowers and plants planted in King Kang's mansion, and I am waiting for the princess to come over at any time." ”
"This palace must come to the door to disturb when it is free, and I won't stay more of the prince today, Zipo, you will send a gift to the prince for the palace." Jiang Ziyu slowly put down the tea, and King Kang nodded slightly and left with Nan Xun.
Su Li and Zhang Shi saw that King Kang was gone, so they spoke.
"Li'er, look at how thoughtful the princess is, you have to learn more from the princess in the future, so that you can manage the family well." Zhang took his daughter's hand and said with a chuckle, as if the meaning of his words was that sooner or later the palace would be separated.
Su Li naturally understood it, and immediately smiled like a flower: "Yes, I have to learn my sister's methods well." ”
Jiang Ziyu didn't bother to pay attention to them, got up and stretched his waist and walked out, and as soon as he went out, a person dressed as a shadow guard appeared: "Princess, this is the deed of sale and nationality you gave us before, these parts are all unclear identities, this part is not careful in the work on weekdays, and the rest is honest and has no problem with origin." ”
Jiang Ziyu took over and handed the one that had no problem to Xingyu, and gave the rest to Liuying: "These people whose identities are unclear gave silver and sent them out of the mansion, and they were sent to Zhuangzi without careful work, and warned them not to discuss matters in the mansion in vain." ”
"Yes." Liuying took the deed of sale to dismiss and settle the next person, Jiang Ziyu walked back slowly, and before she took two steps, she heard Su Li shouting at her from behind.
"Are there any people in my yard who you want to dismiss?" Su left his mouth to question reasonably, Jiang Ziyu glanced at the shadow guard, and he responded, "There are several." ”
Jiang Ziyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Li, and said straight without waiting for her to speak: "Don't tell me that I can't do anything about your yard, Nan Huaifeng said it at the beginning, and I will take full responsibility for this matter." ”
Su Li's words were blocked in his throat, and Zhang Shi said when he saw this: "Although you are the princess and the heroine of the palace, the people in Li'er's courtyard were brought by her from outside, and she should be in charge." ”
Jiang Ziyu sneered and retorted unceremoniously: "Su Li is Nan Huaifeng's concubine, from the day she entered the palace, everything she has belongs to the prince." The concubine room is not the same as the side concubine, if you find Nan Huaifeng and ask him to carry Su Li to the side concubine, let him come and tell me that I can't control Su Li, I will definitely not ask about the personnel in her courtyard again. ”
After that, Jiang Ziyu raised her feet and left, she didn't want to care about Su Li's side, if Nan Huaifeng was promoting Su Li as a side concubine, it would have nothing to do with her.
Su Li's fists were clenched tightly, Zhang pulled her, and said in a low voice: "Now is an opportunity, there are still a few days before your father's death day, if you open your mouth to ask the prince at this time, he will be soft-hearted." ”
Su Li calmed down his anger a little when he heard this, and hurriedly went back to the courtyard to change into elegant clothes, took off all the Huachai silver jewelry, and stood quietly in the back garden on the way for Nan Huaifeng to go to the study.
Nan Huaifeng came back from the lower court, and after passing back, the garden really saw Su Li, who was full of sorrow, and he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" You've never dressed so plainly. ”
Su Li bit her lip, her eyes were red, and there was a hint of grievance and helplessness in her weak voice: "There are still a few days before my father's death day, and the concubine really misses her father." ”
Nan Huaifeng calculated that the day was indeed coming, looking at Su Lichu's pitiful appearance, he thought for a moment and said: "In a few days, you and your wife will go back to offer him incense, and it doesn't hurt for you to stay at your mother's house for a few more days." ”
Su Li nodded lightly, and gently blessed Nan Huaifeng: "Thank you for remembering the prince, but if my father knows about the spring and sees the life of the concubine in the palace now, I am afraid that he will feel distressed." ”
Nan Huaifeng was stunned when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?" Is there anyone in the palace who bullies you? ”
"It's not bullying, today the princess said that the concubine room is just a subordinate, and the concubine body sounds a little sad, and although the prince spoils the concubine, but in the end he has lived with the concubine for three years, but the prince refuses to have the same room with the concubine, how can the father feel at ease?"
Nan Huaifeng's heart is no longer calm, it is a mess, he doesn't like Su Li, it was Su Li who insisted on entering the mansion at the beginning, but now she has indeed lived in the palace for three years, even if she goes out again, she can't marry any good people, he is indeed responsible for her.
"You go back first, and I'll give you an answer to these things when I'm done." As for what the princess said, I think you misunderstood. Nan Huaifeng didn't believe that this kind of words would come out of Jiang Ziyu's mouth, she was the person who didn't value her identity the most, how could she use such words to bully Su Li?
Zhang's had already instructed Su Li not to rush for quick success, so she nodded obediently, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "The concubine is waiting for the prince to eat together at night." ”
"Hmm." Nan Huaifeng responded and continued to walk to the backyard, but his mind was very chaotic, and he didn't know why it was difficult to concentrate today's spirit and was always in a trance, as if he was drunk, and he unconsciously walked to Qingyu Pavilion after thinking about it.
Jiang Ziyu was leisurely eating melon seeds and reading a book, and when he saw him coming, he didn't take the initiative to talk, Nan Huaifeng sat in front of her and scattered the people around him, stretched out his hand and pressed the book in Jiang Ziyu's hand, and asked: "If I leave the round house with the same element, you ......"
"Tell me about this too?" Jiang Ziyu looked at Nan Huaifeng as if he had seen a ghost, how could he be embarrassed to tell her about such a private matter?
Nan Huaifeng frowned and stared at her, and asked, "You don't have any ideas?" ”
"What does it have to do with me?" Jiang Ziyu stood up the book again, and Nan Huaifeng muttered to himself: "I don't like it much, but I always feel sorry for her and her father." ”
Jiang Ziyu sneered again when he heard this, and said with a slight mockery: "If you don't like it, why force yourself? If there is anything to be sorry for, the road is chosen by yourself, and you should bear the consequences by yourself. Speaking of this, she put down the book and looked at Nan Huaifeng with disdain: "Nan Huaifeng, are you so crooked about emotional matters?" ”
"What did you say?" Nan Huaifeng's face sank, Jiang Ziyu spit out the melon seed skin in his mouth, and said: "You have already done so many things that you can't help yourself, do you want to be involuntary for the rest of your life, and be kidnapped by this so-called gratitude for the rest of your life?" If you really think so, don't blame me for not reminding you, sooner or later you will hurt yourself. ”
Jiang Ziyu didn't quite understand why Nan Huaifeng, who was usually so smart and decisive, was so indecisive in Suli's affairs, she was a cold and indifferent person, and she couldn't understand Nan Huaifeng's situation at all.
"If you still don't understand, think of your nephew, who is still in danger, are you embarrassed to spend the moon?" Jiang Ziyu looked at him with a face, Nan Huaifeng was resistant to this matter in his heart, otherwise he would have no reason to find himself at all.
"Four years ago, his father died in the battle to protect me, leaving their wives and daughters helpless. Before his death, her father only begged me to take care of his wife and daughter, and I agreed. Nan Huaifeng lightly recounted the past, and there was a gloom in his eyes that was almost invisible.
Jiang Ziyu held his face and couldn't understand: "It's his choice to save you, there are thousands of ways to take care of it, and you have taken care of other people's daughters at home." ”
"It was Su Li and his wife who proposed to enter the mansion, and they begged me for a long time." Nan Huaifeng once thought simply, thinking that he would choose a good family for Su Li in the future, but he didn't expect her to live for three years.
"They chose their own paths, didn't they?" The indifference in Jiang Ziyu's eyes made Nan Huaifeng feel very uncomfortable, and he retorted: "But Suli's father is here to save me, if it weren't for me, how could she lose her father?" What would you do if you were me? ”
"If I were you, I would give Su Li some more money to ensure that she had no worries about food and clothing. As for her life, why should I meddle? ”
Nan Huaifeng shook his head, staring at Jiang Ziyu slightly and feeling a little lost: "You are very cold-blooded. ”
"Of course, it's true." Jiang Ziyu has never denied her unkindness, she is an emotionless person, she thought he had known for a long time.
Chenxing suddenly stepped forward to support Nan Huaifeng and said to Jiang Ziyu: "Princess, the prince has been talking nonsense for some reason today, and his subordinates have helped him go back to rest first." ”
Jiang Ziyu waved his hand and didn't say a word about the reason that Morning Star was looking for, this kind of nonsense was made up.
Liuying secretly came out and muttered in a low voice: "There is something wrong with the prince, he has too many words today and he is also very strange, very abnormal." ”
Jiang Ziyu pursed her lips in response, how Nan Huaifeng didn't care at all, what does Nan Huaifeng have to do with her? She had thought clearly from the time of the sacrifice to the heavens, and sooner or later they would become strangers.
