Chapter 66: Lanterns
Guan Ping just drove away a wolf here, but he couldn't stand it, and there were still people who were worried about this fresh and tender one. Liu Zhiran is just a knife and pen official in the household department, and he is naturally indifferent in front of many nobles, and when he saw the sedan chair leaving, he kept watching at the door.
The prince assists in the affairs of the court, and the household department is also under his jurisdiction. Today, the small county lord is in the day, and Liu Zhiran accompanied his superiors, because Sheng Qian, the household servant, was recruited into the palace today.
"What do you see? So focused? Behind him, a chubby middle-aged man in an official uniform walked over.
Liu Zhiran hurriedly arched his hand, "Master Zhu." ”
The one he called Master Zhu took advantage of his direction to look over there, only to see the two sedan chairs and walked away, "It's two beautiful little girls...... that Zhu Dazhi looked at Liu Zhiran with a face that a man knew everything, and his face turned red.
Then he waved his hand and walked to the front, and Liu Zhiran hurriedly followed.
"I heard that your family is saying goodbye to you recently, is that Miss Song just now?" Master Zhu asked.
Liu Zhiran frowned slightly, but Master Zhu thought that he was looking at Song Yu, and touched his two mustaches, "Your way of the world is much better than when I said kiss at that time, when the elders of the family were engaged, and I even know whether it is a yaksha or a fairy under the hijab?" But you are blessed......"
His tone was envious, but after all, he grew a lot longer, only patted him on the shoulder, and didn't say anything.
Liu Zhiran is behind him, the daughter of the Song family, Song Yu, is very good, has a good character and family background, and is the future woman that his mother said to him, but she is really good.
——
"Ning'er, are you feeling better?"
The crown princess called her daughter's name, the county lord of Yongning nodded, and the grandmother on the side put a soft cushion behind her and helped the person to lean against the head of the bed. After seeing the Lord of Yongning, a lot of people have dispersed, and now there are only two standing in the hall.
It is the county lord of Anle and her personal maid.
The two were going out with the crowd, but they were stopped by the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and it was already late at night, and the Prince's Mansion didn't seem to have any intention of releasing them. The county lord of Anle has been pampered at home, and now that he has been cold here for so long, the impatience in his heart has long exceeded the apprehension.
"Cousin, it's so late, what are you doing with me here? If you don't go back, it's time for your mother to ask. ”
The crown princess was still holding the soup, ready to feed the county lord of Yongning, who was half-lying on the bed, but when she heard her say this, the bowl in her hand turned and fell to the ground suddenly. The broken porcelain vase and the steaming soup were scattered at the feet of the county lord of Anle, and she immediately jumped to move away.
The crown princess looked at her coldly, and the anger that had obviously accumulated in her eyes for a long time had been accumulated.
The county lord of Anle was still dissatisfied, and immediately lowered his head when he saw this. And the servant girl beside her was no better than her, and she was already trembling and kneeling on the ground.
"Now I'm going to use your mother to press me, and I'm going to go to Princess Rong'an to ask what made her daughter push my daughter into the water?!" The crown princess asked sharply.
The county lord of Anle looked at the county lord of Yongning who was still lying on the bed, and the county lord of Yongning turned his head and hid in the arms of his mother on the side. She was not in good health when she was born, and the crown princess loved her daughter very much, so she fostered her in the nunnery, and she grew up, but she developed a timid and fearful appearance.
Princess Suri let her get closer to the county lord of Anle, at least there was no one next to the county lord of Anle, but she did a full job with the arrogance of her identity.
The county lord of Anle is not a fool, and soon after he saw the character of the county lord of Yongning, thinking that he had firmly grasped people in the palm of his hand, and she had always been the dominant point when the two got along, and she thought that she could let the county lord of Yongning intercede for herself, but she didn't expect her to look at herself.
Biting his lip, "I didn't mean to, if I want to blame, I can only blame that Sheng Mingzhu, she deliberately quarreled with me, so I didn't pay attention to it for a while......"
The reason for the princess's investigation was clear, she naturally knew that she was unintentional, if she really intended to harm her daughter, how could she stand in front of her now, she didn't like this cousin's temperament, but in the end, it was her mother's family that let her keep in contact with her daughter.
Now she is stupid, she was provoked by others, but her daughter was affected for no reason, and it almost made a big mistake, such a temperament The crown princess would not allow her to step into the door of the prince's mansion no matter what, "Yes, so the fault is Yongning, and naturally it has nothing to do with your Anle county lord." ”
"Cousin, that's not what I meant."
The crown princess looked at her coldly, "You don't have to say it anymore, don't you want to go home?" I'll ask the housekeeper to send you back in a while, and you won't have to be in the Prince's Mansion in the future." ”
"Cousin!" The county lord of Anle didn't expect it to be so serious, he didn't let her enter the prince's mansion, and he wanted the palace housekeeper to send her back, making it clear that he would let the family discipline her well, what reputation could she have if this matter was to be spread, "I just didn't intend to fall into the water in Yongning?" Am I going to hurt my niece? The relationship between Yongning and me is good......"
The crown princess waved her hand, and the grandmother next to her stepped forward and grabbed the county lord of Anle with one hand.
Ignoring her frowning brows, she sent people out of the room, and the maid kneeling on the ground next to her raised her head and looked at the princess timidly. The crown princess waved her hand and let her go out again. Outside, the county lord of Anle had just been let go by the grandmother and almost fell to the ground, thanks to the maid's help.
"It's just a subordinate, who gave her such the courage to dare to do this to me?"
The county lord of Anle rubbed his wrists, only to feel a breath of evil breath in his chest. But she was invited out of the house by the housekeeper, and the maid followed her, and heard her think about the princess, "Isn't it just a princess?" In the future, it is not certain who is more noble than whom, I think that Miss Ben rarely comes to this prince's mansion......"
The maidservant was shocked when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything, only looked at the expression of the butler on the side, and quickly lowered her head.
——
On the other hand, the county lord of Yongning drank the re-boiled soup.
"How dare you tell your mother about this today?" In the past, Yongning always played with the county lord of Anle, because of his cowardice, he didn't say anything about being bullied on weekdays, but now he just woke up from a coma and told her who was the person who pushed her into the water. Something is unusual.
The originally pale face of the county lord of Yongning has gradually turned ruddy, and he looked at the mother concubine again, "Cousin aunt...... I quarreled with that sister just now...... "She has been getting along with the county lord of Anle for a while, and she knows her usual personality."
On weekdays, you can be as weak as you are, but just now her life was hanging by a thread, the county lord of Yongning was cowardly, but he was also kind, and looked at his mother again, "Mother, my cousin doesn't listen to my advice, and it doesn't matter ...... Sheng family's sister" It was the first time she said so many words for the living, and she was not very afraid of herself.
The crown princess was excited, so she hid the tears in the corners of her eyes, "The concubine knows everything, and she will definitely go to the Sheng Mansion to thank her another day." Is there anything else wrong with you? ”
The county lord of Yongning shook his head, "I'm only a little sleepy." ”
After floating in the water for a while, her hands and feet were sore. The crown princess helped her lie down, tucked the quilt for her, and only went out with her mother after she fell asleep, and closed the door lightly.
The master and servant stepped into the corridor together, it was already winter, and the night wind was much colder than before. The prince's hand was stuffed into the sleeve, but his face was cold by the wind, but he walked slowly, and the grandmother behind him followed her all the way.
"Niangniang, this Miss Sheng San is really the noble person of our county lord, I shouldn't have stopped you from letting you choose her as your companion at that time." The grandmother was thinking about today's affairs, and she was still in a cold sweat, she still looked down on the third lady of Sheng, and she almost blocked the nobleman out.
The crown princess shook her head, "I was thinking that the Sheng family's third room was leaning against the ...... behind the back" The middle of the words stopped.
Yongning has been raised in the Buddhist hall since he was a child, and was bullied by those nuns, he didn't pay attention to his mother, and his temperament has been cultivated, but he can't do it in the future, "An Le's temperament is too domineering, I see that Sheng Mingzhu is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, although he is older, it's okay." Yongning should also say goodbye in two years, she entered the palace and was delayed for two years, but her worth was also high, so she was not delayed. ”
The grandmother naturally nodded in agreement.
——
Sheng Mingzhu felt that his right hand seemed to have an indissoluble bond with the injury, he had just finished bumping it some time ago, and now he was bruised by the whip again.
Naturally, she was counted down by Yun Niang, and it didn't take long for her to take a good rest, and she had to go back to the academy again, and Song Yu asked her to go to the street to see the lanterns at night, plus Guan Ping gave her jewelry a few days ago, and she was going to see him with a pom-pom today.
"Chen Cen's imperial examination has ended, why haven't you seen him yet?"
When you go out shopping, you naturally have to dress up, Sheng Mingzhu stood in front of the mirror and changed into one set of clothes after another, and asked Huang's mother in the interval. Huang's mother had her headdress all over her hands, and said, "It's so easy, the imperial examination has been in for ten days, and I've heard that some weak people go in vertically and come out horizontally." Eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in it, and I just finished the exam without a break for three or five days, and I don't want to stay up as an adult? ”
"Did you hear it", Sheng Mingzhu looked at the Lingzhu who was reading with a book on the side.
Halfway through the age, she gradually became beautiful, and her face also had a little girlish coldness. is different from Song Yu's bookish atmosphere - Sheng Mingzhu thinks that she is a bookbox and will soon develop into a nerd.
Sheng Lingzhu looked up at her and asked again, "Sister, are you going to see the governor today?" ”
"yes."
"But don't you think it's inappropriate for a man and a woman to go alone?"
"How could it be that you go to the meeting alone, there is Sister Song, and there are people to follow" Sheng Mingzhu nodded her head, "You are really getting more and more stupid......"
Sheng Lingzhu always felt that Guan Ping had bad intentions, "He gave you jewelry for no reason, and the drunkard didn't mean to drink." ”
Sheng Mingzhu's love words were opened six times, and the other one didn't know anything, and he looked at the mirror and touched his face again, "You have a lot of thoughts at a young age......"
She always felt that Guan Ping had the feeling of not eating the fireworks of the world, that kind of person who would never get married for the rest of his life.
"Miss, are you alright?" Jin Zhi had already taken out a snow-white plush cloak, and with the other hand wrapped the pom-pom with a red thread around his neck, Sheng Mingzhu immediately stepped forward to take the snow-white pompom into his arms.
