Chapter 7: Wait for the wind to come
Zhao Chaoxuan and Jiang Mo returned home safely, King Zong Guang and the princess were not suspicious, and after dinner together, they went back to the courtyard to rest.
King Zongguang was tired of traveling and driving, ate some more wine, and went back to the house to rest early.
Princess Wei Luan Wei of Zongguang, because she wanted to help King Zongguang pack up and prepare, she didn't stop for a long time.
"Niangniang......" A maid entered the house with a bowl of bird's nest.
"Shh Princess Wei Luan was afraid that her voice would be noisy, so King Zongguang shushed.
"Whew...... Niangniang ...... "The maid immediately understood, but she was still a little helpless to go out of the blue yarn cupboard with the princess Weiluan.
"Whew...... Did both the kids sleep? Princess Wei Luan took the bird's nest and asked while eating.
"I've slept a long time ago, and you're still working hard." The maid said with some distress.
"Huh...... Seeing that they are all good, I won't work hard......" Princess Wei Luan smiled comfortably.
"Niangniang...... "The maid has something to say.
"Okay, the day before yesterday, you are not allowed to tell the children, let alone the prince, you know?" The princess knew what she was going to say, so she took the first step and instructed.
"Niangniang, then you can't be bullied like this, when you were in the Guogong Mansion, where did you suffer such grievances! Now the concubine ...... "the maid is aggrieved."
"That's it! Isn't it that good, the prince has a lot of opportunities, don't make trouble for him. The princess interrupted the maid.
"!" The maid was unwilling.
"Okay, I'm tired too, you go down, I want to rest." The princess put the blue and white porcelain bowl on the tray and wiped her mouth.
"Niangniang......" The maid did not want to.
"Okay, I know you have been wronged for me, there are some things, I can live, you can also live, the current situation of the prince, it is better to have more things than one less, it's done, go ahead......" Princess Weiluan waved her hand, and then turned around and went into the back room.
The maid sighed, and then silently withdrew with the tray.
It was only a moment before it became dark.
The maid looked inside the room and couldn't help but sigh again.
It turns out that with the previous identity of Princess Zongguang, she does have the capital to act arbitrarily and not be bullied, because she is not only Princess Zongguang, but also the concubine of the Weiguo Mansion who was once in power and favored by the emperor, and should be respected.
This Wei Guo Gong once because of his great military exploits, the first emperor gave him a prince of the opposite sex, but because of his loyalty and was politely refused, the first emperor was deeply moved, although only gave the country the public title, but the favor is far better than the prince.
Coupled with the fact that the current emperor and the former crown prince have a great relationship with him, the Weiguo Mansion has become a truly low-key but powerful family in Beijing, and no one knows and respects it.
It's just that Wei Guogong has always been strict with the law, and everyone in the house has also carefully followed the teachings and acted in a low-key manner, plus over the years, Wei Guogong has also been old, and he is reluctant to mix with mundane things.
is also because of his good looks, Wei Luan, who is still in the boudoir, is the preferred candidate for many family concubines and even princesses, which is quite hot.
She should have had a better choice, a more relaxed and wanton life, but only because she was moved by the heart of the late queen's beloved son, under her best efforts, she chose to marry the queen's third son, that is, the current Zongguang King Zhao Zongguang, and became the princess of Zongguang.
Although King Zong Guang is the third son of the empress and emperor, he is also extremely good, but he is not favored as he should be, but he is constrained everywhere, and he is cautious in everything, and Wei Luan's situation is like a chasm.
But as smart as Princess Zongguang, she has long understood what is going on, and now that she is one, she has always obeyed the principle of taking her husband as precious, not fighting or grabbing, only when managing the huge palace, she also tried not to add annoyance to her husband, King Zongguang, even if she suffered some grievances, as long as it was not excessive, she often chose to forbear.
Since getting married, Wei Luan's life has indeed undergone tremendous changes, because the queen died early, and King Zong Guang has lost his due support and protection.
In addition, before getting married, his eldest brother and second brother had also died on the battlefield, there was no brother to support him, and there was no mother's family to support him, and the emperor did not love him, as a prince, Zhao Zongguang had a very hard time, but Wei Luan, as a princess, was willing to accompany him through thick and thin.
Zhao Zongguang shouldered foreign affairs alone, and Princess Wei Luan was in charge of the palace, dealing with the ill-intentioned squeezing and framing of all parties, including the concubine Yin in the palace and several other concubines who were also princesses, Wei Luan's pressure must be no less than Zhao Zongguang's, and the grievances were no less than him, but it was precisely because of enough love that he chose to bear it alone.
In fact, as a husband, King Zong Guang also knew this, but he couldn't do anything, knowing that his princess was implicated by himself, he felt distressed and sorry, and he could only express his gratitude and indebtedness by favoring him alone.
Princess Wei Luan and her heart are connected, so they no longer care, but the maids who can serve closely, especially the dowry girls brought from the Weiguo Mansion, are distressed.
It's just that the princess Wei Luan is pressing, so the maids don't dare to say more, let alone tell these grievances back to Wei Guogong......
After another night of silence, Princess Wei Luan got up early and was busy all afternoon.
In the afternoon, King Zong Guang went out for something, and the two children got tired of seeing the opportunity.
"Mother...... "The little prince Zhao Chaoxuan still prefers to call his mother concubine his mother in private.
Jiang Mo also smiled and held Princess Wei Luan's right hand, and called out sweetly, "Godmother." ”
"Hehe......" I don't know why, every time Princess Weiluan sees these two children, she is always in a good mood, and she hugs the two children and smiles: "What's the good thing, laughing so happily?" ”
"Huh...... Mother, are you going to the palace for a banquet tonight? Zhao Chaoxuan asked with a smile.
"Huh...... yes, why do you want to go? Princess Wei Luan asked with a smile on her face.
"Hey...... Mother, okay? Jiang Er and I both want to go. Zhao Chaoxuan tilted his head and looked obsessed.
"Huh...... You two don't always like this decent banquet, why do you suddenly want to go? You can't have any bad ideas, right? The princess looked suspicious, half joking and half serious.
"Mother......
The two children of the "godmother......" are no longer followed.
"Huh...... Oh, by the way, in the morning, your uncle Wang came over and said it was ......," said the princess.
"Huh? What? When the two children with ghosts in their hearts heard Zhao Zongtong's name, they were a little nervously stunned.
"What's wrong with you?" The princess felt more and more strange, usually when it came to Uncle Zongtong, these two children were elated and lively, why did this little face look a little strange.
"I didn't ...... Hey...... Mother, what is Uncle Wang doing here? Zhao Chaoxuan asked with a concealed heart.
"Huh...... I made an appointment with your father, but I didn't see your father go out in the afternoon, what, you two...... Did you go to your Uncle Wang's tricks again? "The princess is too tired of the two children by her side.
"I didn't ...... Yesterday's ...... We haven't seen Uncle Wang......" Zhao Chaoxuan immediately shook his head and said.
"Well, yes, we have been walking around the street yesterday, and we haven't caused anything, godmother, don't worry." Jiang Mo also immediately added.
"Whew...... That's good......" The princess gave the two of them a look of disgust, and then smiled in relief.
"That mother, we ......" Zhao Chaoxuan begged with a face.
"Okay, it's not a big deal to take you there, but ......," the princess said halfway.
"Mother, that's in the palace, we will definitely be cautious in our words and deeds, and never cause trouble, isn't this possible?" Zhao Chaoxuan patted his chest and reassured.
"Hey...... Okay, good, believe in it, believe in it, and believe in you...... Then you also go back and get ready, and when your father will come back, we will go together. The princess said with a smile.
"Well, that mother, Jiang Er and I will go back and prepare first!" The two children were so happy that they couldn't wait.
"Go ahead......" the princess smiled helplessly.
"Well, Jiang Er, let's go!" Zhao Chaoxuan pulled Jiang Er and trotted out.
Princess Wei Luan looked at their happy appearance, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles......
At night, the dinner was imminent, Jiang Mo and Zhao Chaoxuan had already sat beside Princess Wei Luan, and they were in good order.
Princess Wei Luan saw that the two of them were really well-behaved, and she was also relieved.
The emperor's concubine arrived, toasted, and the dinner began.
It didn't take long for the eyes of Jiang Mo and Zhao Chaoxuan to become restless, and they began to sweep towards the Yin Guifei on the high platform from time to time.
However, the dinner party was brightly lit and full of singing and dancing, but no one could notice their corner, after all, everyone was in a hurry to tie up the concubine faction, so naturally they would not pay that attention.
There are indeed not a few people vying to toast against Yin Guifei, only King Zong Guang and General Zhao Zongtong have not moved.
Jiang Mo was eating dim sum, while looking at the stage with an old look, watching the appearance of Yin Guifei cup after cup, and his mood became better and better.
Zhao Chaoxuan on the side was a little impatient and said, "Hey, why is it still effective?" ”
"Huh...... What's the hurry, this medicine, this wine, only owes the east wind......" Jiang Mo smiled confidently.
"Huh?" Zhao Chaoxuan was puzzled.
Suddenly, Jiang Mo's hair hanging down from his ears was stirred, and the glazed golden hairpin of Princess Weiluan also made the sound of bells.
Jiang Mo smiled proudly: "Hehe...... Quick look...... The wind is coming......"
