Chapter 121: Congratulations to Your Highness
Ming Xiu took a few steps closer, attached it to Chu Nian's ear, and said softly: "You and I can go home at night, don't you think that we should solve the trouble in front of us first?" β
Chu Nian smacked him hard, but his face was slightly red, and he would talk about it when he went home at night...... She settled down and distanced herself from Ming Xiu: "Your Highness is self-respecting." β
Ming Xiu's face froze, and then he glanced at Chu Nian with a smile, and knelt in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, quite a little excited when he had just regained his intelligence, but this excitement was in the eyes of the Queen Mother, because he could get out of the Queen Mother's control.
"Father, grandmother, in the past fifteen years, it has been the son's unfilial piety, which has worried my father and grandmother."
The emperor looked at his son with relief, while the queen mother hid the hatred in her eyes and said kindly: "It's good to be sick, it's good to be well...... Come, the good emperor and grandson of the mourning family, come to take a good look at the mourning family. β
Ming Xiu got up, walked to the side of the Queen Mother with a "ashamed" face, and let her pinch and pinch: "Good emperor and grandson, it's okay if it's okay." β
King Huainan took the lead in getting up and said: "Today is the welcome banquet of Her Royal Highness, and the crown prince is healing, and double happiness is coming, so it is time to celebrate." β
He dragged out the end of the sound, which provoked the Queen Mother to look sideways, that is, remembering that there were still outsiders present, wiped a handful of non-existent tears and said: "Let Her Royal Highness the Empress smile, pass the order, the prince Mingxiu will be cured of his stupidity, and today will be set as the Shining Sun Day, and the whole country will celebrate together!" β
Just because the prince recovered, the queen mother was happy, and she set up a festival casually! The Queen Mother loves the prince so much, she is really a good grandmother!
The welcome banquet, which had become particularly sensitive because of the appearance of Ming Xiu, suddenly restored a sense of harmony, but there was still an undercurrent underneath, and everyone tacitly knew it, but no one brought the matter to the bright side again.
The Queen Mother specially called all the concubines and princesses in the harem, and soon, the entire Da Liang knew that His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been stupid for many years, had finally become smarter!
The banquet continued as usual, flattery, sloppy and patting, and everyone gathered around His Royal Highness the Prince, who had just recovered his intellect, and no one knew what his character was, but he accepted all their hypocritical flattery.
Chu Nian was anxious, and when Yingying Yanyan was curiously surrounding Ming Xiu, he said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left quietly.
It's cool at night.
The flowers and plants in the herb house are very well taken care of by Zhu's mother, and the aunt lives in the side room where she used to live with her younger brother, Chu Nian sat on the edge of the bed, and just happened to see the plane tree rustling with the breeze.
Ah Wu put down the medicine pestle in her hand, looked at Chu Nian thoughtfully by the window, and blinked.
After a while, there was a warm chrysanthemum tea beside Chu Nian, and Chu Nian frowned, "Chrysanthemum tea is not delicious." β
Auntie sat down beside Chu Nian with a smile: "Chrysanthemum tea is indeed not delicious, but go to the fire, now the lady is worried, I am afraid that a bowl of beans will grow on the top of her forehead tomorrow morning." β
Chu Nian was amused by her, and couldn't help but pinch her armpits: "Okay, you aunt, you dare to tease me." β
The two of them made a mess, giggling and laughing, and at that moment, Chu Nian seemed to have forgotten that Ming Xiu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth.
Grandma smiled and begged for mercy: "Lady, let Grandma go, Grandma is most afraid of itching." β
"You're still scared." Seeing that Ah Wu was indeed smiling and her face was flushed, Chu Niancai reluctantly withdrew her hand and sat back on the edge of the bed, but this time, a pair of willow eyebrows stretched.
She picked up the chrysanthemum tea, took a sip, and pouted at the sour taste of the chrysanthemum tea.
Seeing this, Ah Wenwen smiled and took back the chrysanthemum tea in her hand, put it down, and changed a cup of bamboo leaf green in front of Chu Nian, who hurriedly picked up the tea cup and rinsed his mouth.
"Look at you," Auntie looked at Chu Nian's disgusted appearance with amusement, "If Sanniang doesn't tell Auntie about her troubles, even if Auntie can't solve it, if she can say it, it will be regarded as lowering her anger." β
Chu Nian lowered her eyes, Grandma can always see through her thoughts, but she doesn't want Grandma to take care of her own body and the body of the people around her for her, but also worry about her constant worry. "Nothing."
In the middle of the night, only the shallow breathing of two girls was left in the room, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas in early autumn outside the window.
Auntie smiled, "Is the lady worried about His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and then listened to Ah Wu continue: "If you want me to say, the lady doesn't have to worry about His Highness, His Highness has his own way of doing things. The lady always wants to obey the lady's will in everything, and she can do it, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a person after all, isn't it? β
"If you are a human being, you don't want others to control your life, let alone that this other person is your sweetheart."
Chu Nian raised his head, "How do you say this?" β
"I can understand the lady's feelings, since the dark four were left in Tingchuan, Ah Chang has been talking in my ear every day to find the master, Tingchuan is so far away, I don't worry, he has been talking for two months, and I will detain him for two months, guess what?"
Seeing Chu Nian's doubtful eyes, Ah Wu couldn't help but smile: "That kid ran away secretly, and he didn't even bring his luggage, because I was afraid that he would sneak away, and I confiscated his silver, and now that he has run outside the city, I was afraid that he would suffer on the road, so I asked Zhao Er to send him silverββ"
Speaking of Zhao Er, Ah Wan couldn't help but blush, "Lady, I can't stop a young man from doing anything, not to mention that the other party is the crown prince, and he is already in a high position, the more you tie him up, the more unhappy he is, it is better for you to let go and let him do what he wants, not to mention that with the wisdom of His Royal Highness, what is there that the lady can't rest assured?" β
Chu Nian heard what she meant, all along, what Ming Xiu wanted to do, she really couldn't stop it, besides, Ming Xiu was not really stupid, nor was she the kind of person who didn't care about her life for the sake of showmanship, now she was frightened and angry, maybe people would have been ready to meet all kinds of targets in the future.
It's just that she doesn't know.
Seeing that Chu Nian had regained her calm look, Ah Wu said with relief: "The lady doesn't have to be reckless, since His Royal Highness wants to stand in front of the lady, why should the lady make herself look like a desperate third lady, and be a little woman with peace of mind." β
Desperate Sanniang? Chu Nian smiled and pinched Grandma's little face, this title is quite appropriate, "As far as you know." β
Auntie and Chu Nian are about the same height, originally thin, but recently they were fattened by the snacks sent by Chu Nian every three or five days, the meat on her face was just enough for Chu Nian to pinch out a small ball, Chu Nian rubbed it hard, and then listened to Auntie inarticulate: "Lady...... I'm also worried about my wife's feelings, you see, I don't know if it's me, and everyone else is also worried. β
Chu Nian followed her sister-in-law's gaze, and saw the corner of Mei Xiang's clothes flashing at the door, and couldn't help laughing: "As for you, you're still worried about me, Auntie, have you thought about Zhao Er's matter clearly?" Don't hide the little thing at the door, what about the dark three? β
Mei Xiang came in from the door, her face flushed like a ripe apple: "Lady, don't talk nonsense, what does it have to do with Dark San." β
Auntie also blushed: "That's it, what does it have to do with Zhao Er." β
Chu Nian sneered: "You two can't see me, auntie, Zhao Er hasn't sent you anything in the past few days, right?" The backyard of Jishitang is almost full. β
"Xiao Meixiang, I took you out for a ride every day for three days, I really thought I couldn't hear the movement in the yard?"
Mei Xiang's face turned pale.
These days are Zhu's mother's vigil, and at night, Dark San secretly came to pick her up and go out to play, thinking that she had hidden it from Chu Nian, who knows, when Chu Nian couldn't sleep at night, the movement in the yard had already been heard by Chu Nian.
As for Zhao Er...... Auntie blushed, and after a moment, she regained her composure, and she pouted: "What you can't get is what you want the most, and when he gets it, he won't want it." β
Chu Nian stretched out his hand and drank the slightly cool bamboo leaf green, "There are not all bad people in this world, besides, I can see that Zhao Er treats you sincerely." β
"Don't comfort me, lady, I just don't want to be a good relationship with anyone in this life, so why waste each other's time."
Auntie smiled bitterly, "It's not early, let's go back and rest, if you don't rest well, it will affect your mental state." β
Chu Nian frowned without a trace, and at the end, he had to sigh lightly, get up and say, "As long as you can temporarily save Liu's life, I have already sent someone to investigate the poison on her body." β
Since it is not a disease, it can only be poison, the Liu family is now just a mother who is waiting for a town, who can spend so much time to kill her? Lao Taijun may find a way to kill the Liu family in order to keep his position in the Zhenning Hou Mansion, and the Xiao Chen family, who is now locked up in the courtyard, will also, except for these two people, there is nothing else.
Auntie retrieved the medicine bowl again, lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, lady." β
Mei Xiang sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, so she stepped forward to support Chu Nian, "Lady, let's go first, ask Sister Ah to think about it for herself, she is so smart and sensible, she will figure it out sooner or later." β
Chu Nian nodded slowly, glanced back at Ah Wu, and then sighed and left.
On the way back to Chu Nian's bedroom, Ah Wu said hesitantly: "Lady, I just listened to you talk too engrossedly, and the slave forgot a big thing." β
Chu Nian looked at her funny: "Forgot about the date of the dark three?" β
"Lady!" Mei Xiang looked at Chu Nian with a puffed face, "If the lady is unwilling, the slave will tell him not to come to the slave in the future." β
Chu Nian raised his eyes, smiled and didn't speak, and there was already a refreshing fragrance of lotus flowers in the bedroom.
There was an inky figure standing in the center of the room, and when he heard the footsteps of Chu Nian and Mei Xiang, he turned his head with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Chu Nianping withdrew Mei Xiang: "You go to talk to Mother Zhu, and then I will take you out to play during the dark three days in the future, it is always unsafe at night." β
Mei Xiang's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly thanked her and left.
Only Chu Nian and Ming Xiu were left in the room.
A cool breeze of early autumn blew from the window, and the candlelight in the room flickered for a while, Chu Nian put away his robe, walked to the window, and blocked the cold air out of the window, only then did he smell a faint fragrance of wine, and when he turned his eyes, he saw Ming Xiu holding two wine jars in his hands.
"Fang Cai Banquet originally wanted to ask you to accompany Gu to drink, but I didn't expect you to escape in advance, and now you are blocked by Lone, how about it, drink two glasses?"
Chu Nian pursed his lips: "How dare you disobey His Highness's will." β
Ming Xiu put the wine jar on the table, took out a bag of sour plums, a bag of peanuts, and two silver wine cups for the palace banquet from his arms like a trick, and sat down at the table, and when Chu Nian reluctantly sat down opposite him, he had already filled two tea cups, one in front of him and one beside him, so he looked at Chu Nian for a long time.
Chu Nian coughed lightly, "Your Highness, pay attention to your identity." β
Ming Xiu looked at her slightly red face with a smile: "Lone is the prince, if you want you to sit next to Lone, you have to sit over." β
Resisting the urge to punch the smiling face, Chu Nian moved to Ming Xiu's side, and the two sat side by side, still separated by a person.
Ming Xiu looked down and raised his eyebrows at Chu Nian.
Chu Nian moved his buttocks, which were almost half exposed outside the stool.
"Come here." Ming Xiu shook his head helplessly, "In the past, I was willing to give a lonely hug, but now I don't even want to sit together?" β
Chu Nian's eyes darkened, but he suddenly saw Mu Qing falling in front of him, "Your Highness, there is a difference between men and women, and you should still maintain proportions in the future." β
Ming Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he sighed helplessly and whispered, "Okay, it's all up to you." β
Seeing this, Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine cup and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness." β
