On the East Road of King Kang's Mansion, the Jiyuan where the prince and his wife lived were silent at this time, and only the daily living place of the princess was brilliantly lit.

"Third sister-in-law, please come here." Zhang Yiduan diligently introduced Brother Xu Yingge indoors. Brother Xu Ying's first time here, I saw that the interior furnishings were simple, half-new and not old, the princess was kneeling under the Buddha shrine with her back to everyone, holding the Buddha beads and closing her eyes slightly and praying in a low voice, a middle-aged scribe with a clear face sat on the chair on the left hand side, looking at her with blazing eyes, and Wang led the eldest son of the prince to sit not far away and look at her expectantly.

Brother Xu Ying exhaled lightly, first saluted the middle-aged scribe, and then said loudly: "Sister-in-law, I'm back." ”

The princess slowly got up, looked at the statue of Guanyin and whispered: "Second brother and sister, please take care of the trivial matters in the house for me, and then see if the children are asleep, if someone chews their tongues underground, they will be severely punished." ”

A hint of gloom flashed on Wang's face, and he responded in a low voice, signaling Prince Kang to retreat with her, and by the way, he took away all the mothers-in-law and maids who were waiting for him. The princess turned around and looked at Zhang Yiduan with a heavy gaze, and said in a low voice: "Third brother, you are the only adult male in the house now."

Why don't you let him sit in on it? Zhang Yi hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know that I have already arranged to strengthen manpower patrols." When this is the case, I will personally lead the team, and there will be no mistakes. ”

Since he said so, the princess had nothing else to say, so she looked at Brother Xu Ying and said, "The third brother and sister have worked hard. ”

"Do your part for your family. How can it be hard. Brother Xu Ying whispered what he knew: "Before leaving, my father asked us to eat fasting and pray for the Buddha to beg the queen to recover as soon as possible." ”

Cui Xiang was thoughtful, and the princess was a little angry, what she wanted was a strong guarantee and promise, not such a specious sentence. Seeing that Brother Xu Ying's expression was quiet and peaceful, he couldn't help but hate himself for not having such a strong backup. Her maiden family, with a strong reputation, is far to the west, covering the sky with only one hand in the local area, but in the capital city, she must be more cautious and low-key than the ordinary princes and ministers' families. That's how it is. It's also far from water that can't quench the thirst of the near, otherwise why would she be so helpless? What's more, for so many years, her roots have long been rooted in King Kang's Mansion.

Cui Xiang spoke out at the right time: "Since Master Hou said so, then we will do what we say." ”

The princess quickly looked up at Cui Xiang, and at the same time put away all the negative emotions, trying to catch the information she had missed wrong. In order to keep up with Cui Xiang's train of thought as soon as possible. Cui Xiang seemed to know what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "My father gave birth to me, my mother bowed to me, picked me up, raised me, took care of me, and went in and out of my womb." Virtue to be repaid. Haotian is reckless. sons and daughters. Begging for a long and healthy life is the most common thing. As for other things, where can I think about it? ”

The princess was silent for a moment and instructed Zhang Yiduan: "Fourth brother, let everyone in the house bathe and change clothes, set up incense cases, and sincerely pray for the queen's mother." But don't be stingy with everything you need to use. "I thought about it. He added: "From tonight onwards, the whole province will be vegetarian." ”

Zhang Yiduan still wanted to stay and listen to the key parts, but he had to withdraw first to arrange it. Brother Xu Ying saw that the princess didn't look very good-looking, guessing that she was probably not very satisfied with the news she brought back, and guessing that she probably had something to talk about with Cui Xiang, so she took the initiative to say without waiting for the princess to open her mouth and drive people away: "I will also go back to bathe and change clothes, set up incense cases, and pray for the queen." ”

The princess nodded, waited for Brother Xu Ying to go away, and said as if she was open: "Sir, why don't you go to the Loyal Houfu again?" ”

Cui Xiang was a little surprised, and then said gently: "Didn't Lord Xu let the third grandmother come back?" We just have to wait. "Since Xu Heng can rest assured that Brother Xu Ying will come back, then he knows it in his heart and will take action, otherwise how can such a calf protector and a scheming person let Brother Xu Ying return to this Longtan tiger's den?

The princess was unwilling, and continued: "But he didn't say anything, and so far he hasn't seen any movement, what if he misses the first move?" The prince and they are still in the palace. "What's more, Brother Xu Ying's affairs, she is not at ease.

When Cui Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh a little. No matter how shrewd and capable the princess is, there are still too few things that have passed, some things can only look at the results and not the process, what does Xu Heng's old fox want to do, how can he say it easily? Nai sighed: "Marquis Xu is a veteran of the two dynasties, and his favor has not diminished for many years, if he refuses to move, who can let him move?" Why should he help us? Because it is the family of children and daughters. The prince and the prince are not there, and there is no weighty person in the house who can say weighty words, and the third grandmother can't go, let alone go down. Since Her Royal Highness the Princess believes in him, we can only believe it. ”

The princess took a deep breath with some difficulty, and forced a smile to bow deeply to Cui Xiang: "The old and young in the mansion all have to rely on Mr. ”

A crescent moon poked its head out of the clouds, and the breeze blew through the treetops, making a very subtle "rustling" sound, Xu Yingge lowered his head and walked briskly on the winding and quiet path of King Kang's mansion. If you want to ask her if she is afraid, she is naturally afraid, she doesn't like to be displaced, precarious, and she doesn't like this kind of life that hangs by a thread at any time and has no sense of security at all. But born in troubled times, she thought she should thank God that she was much better than the women who were struggling with sludge and hunger.

Thinking of this, Brother Xu Ying stopped, folded his hands, and bowed to the moon twice reverently, reciting words in his mouth. Seeing this, Qingyu hurriedly followed and bowed twice. Brother Xu Ying couldn't help laughing: "What are you worshipping?" Could it be that you are begging the old man to give you a good husband? ”

Qingyu whispered, "When has this happened, you are still making such jokes." The maid begged God to bless the queen mother to live a long life, our house is too peaceful and rich, and you and the third master can live a good life. ”

Brother Xu Ying sighed softly, she often felt that Zhang Yizheng was very annoyed before, and when she was very angry, she often thought that she would be much easier without this Tai Sui, but at this time, she was still very worried about him. So he solemnly prayed to the sky: "The gods and Buddhas of the heavens are above, please let Zhang Xiaosan'er come back safely." After coming back, don't have any more convulsions, the best is to be a wife and slave every day. After praying, I felt funny, the sun rose in the west, Zhang Yizheng would not be a wife and slave, as long as it could be normal.

Suddenly, someone behind me said in a deep voice: "The third grandmother is really the husband of the middle woman." ”

Brother Xu Ying turned around and saw Cui Yu standing a few meters away from her, saluting her with a serious face. Farther away, the two most trusted grandmothers beside the princess each carried a lantern and stood there respectfully waiting silently. Knowing that Cui Xiang was going back after discussing a major matter with the princess, he smiled and solemnly returned Cui Xiang's gift. Lang said: "Mr. praised it falsely. "What kind of female husband, it's just for Xu Heng's face, otherwise the things she did should be just a fierce woman who doesn't know what to do in the eyes of everyone in King Kang's Mansion.

Cui Xiang smiled and said: "I have been fascinating Master Xu for a long time, and if the opportunity is right in the future, I will ask the third grandmother to help introduce me." ”

Brother Xu Ying would not think that Cui Xiang wanted to vote for Xu Heng separately, and people came to say hello to her just to express friendship and respect, and hurriedly and solemnly responded: "Mr. Daming." My father had heard about it a long time ago, and once said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would invite his husband to drink tea and admire the moon, and sing about wine. ”

It's a bunch of nonsense, but they flatter each other. Cui Xiang laughed and said goodbye and turned around, and Brother Xu Ying also headed towards his nameless courtyard, trying to make himself happy and relaxed.

It's night. King Kang's Mansion is full of cigarettes. The sound of wooden fish alarmed several nearby streets, and many people watched the mansion silently in the dark night, only to find that the people in the mansion had almost stopped all activities except for worshipping the Buddha. This devout worship of the Buddha was like a contagious disease, and in the early morning, the morning breeze swept through the mansions of the princes and princesses in Shangjing. As a result, half of the city was filled with cigarette smoke, and half of the city was filled with the sound of wooden fish, and Shangjing turned into a compassionate city dedicated to the Buddha.

The first rays of sunlight hit the wall, and the capital kicked off the day with curling green smoke and pious chanting. The princess, who had not slept all night, struggled to get up from the futon. He took the tea handed by the maidservant jade bottle and said in a low voice: "At this time, you have already gone to court, right?" I don't know if the queen's condition has improved. "I don't know if King Kang and the others who stayed in the palace are all right?

The jade bottle didn't know how to answer, but only relieved: "You can relax, no news is good news." ”

The princess held on to the window lattice and looked out, and her heart shrunk into a ball. She knows very well that if the queen has an accident or her illness worsens, then there will be no more court meeting today, on the contrary, if the queen's condition is stable or reduced, the emperor will not cancel this court meeting. She didn't sleep for a day and a night, which made her exhausted, and the most terrible thing was that Cui Xiang's words before leaving had been lingering in her ears: "This matter is not easy to do, the Holy One has a seizure, he must know what will happen today, if there is a sudden sharp turn when the prince and others are all staying in the palace, he is not suspicious but also suspicious." But if you let it go, King He's faction will be in trouble again."

Brother Xu Ying was forced to marry into the palace, and he has been having a bad time since he got married, in such a situation, will the Xu family really stand on the side of King Kang's mansion? Taking a step back, the Xu family is really on this side, and Xu Heng also has this balancing ability, but how much effort is he willing to spend on this matter? The more the princess thought about it, the more confused she became, and she felt that she couldn't think about it anymore, so she shook her head vigorously and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay in the house?" ”

The jade bottle said: "Hello everyone, except for the youngest masters, the rest of them have not slept and have been worshipping the Buddha and praying, the fourth master has been leading the guards in the palace to patrol around, Concubine Xuan cried a few times, and Mama Qu was stunned for half a night."

The princess was a little impatient, so she simply went straight to the point: "What about the third grandmother?" ”

The jade bottle hurriedly said: "I heard that I went back last night to eat a big bowl of noodles, and then bathed and changed clothes, asked someone to invite a Buddha statue and incense candles and wooden fish, and prayed all night." ”

The princess put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Wait for me to freshen up, and wait for me to take a look at her." "She needs Brother Xu Ying and the Xu family to stand on the side of King Kang's Mansion.

But I heard the hurried footsteps outside the window, and a maidservant rushed in: "The third master is back!" ”
