Chapter 45: The Princess Who Didn't Leave the Door
The next morning.
As in the past, after discussing political affairs, Mrs. Hu suddenly stood up and talked about the fact that Kong An was molesting a woman from a good family in the downtown area and was broken by the people. Huo Xing's face sank, and he swept away the ministers of different colors in the court, and really saw the Hubu Shangshu stand up again.
The two of them said the same thing, although they did not explicitly say the relationship between Kong An and the Prime Minister's Mansion, but all the ministers present did not know in their hearts. Huo Xing had already suppressed the matter, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to ask for this matter in front of him, and he really slapped the face of the prime minister of the other country in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
The Dongyuan Emperor snorted coldly, and Huo Xing had to kneel down and plead guilty. "The minister has driven Kong An out of the capital yesterday, and has already explained the relationship with the Meng family. Kong An has already broken a leg, and it can be regarded as a lesson. He looked up and looked straight at the man in the dragon chair. Kong An is indeed to blame for this disaster, and he asks the emperor to punish him. ”
"I remember, the person who disturbed the princess of Yiguo last time was also your nephew Kong An?"
Huo Xing's eyebrows jumped, "It's really him." ”
The Emperor snorted again. "You're a nephew, you're really bold."
Huo Xing had a sharp blade, and when he saw that Mrs. Hu wanted to speak again, he grabbed the words first. "It's hard for the minister to take the blame, please ask the emperor to punish him."
"The prime minister himself has been punished, what else can I say?"
Huo Xing was shocked. "I don't dare."
The emperor just glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything more, obviously not wanting to care about it anymore. After Hubu Shangshu and Mrs. Hu glanced at each other, Mrs. Hu spoke again.
"Does the emperor know which girl is being molested by Kong An?"
There was already displeasure on the emperor's face. "Who's from it?"
Mrs. Hu's voice suddenly rose. "It's Chen Shaoning, the daughter of Master Chen, Sister Chen."
As soon as the words fell, except for Mrs. Hu and Hubu Shangshu, everyone in the court was stunned.
Chen Shaoning used to be the Queen Mother's favorite embroiderer, and when the Queen Mother died, the last dress was sewn by Chen Shaoning herself, and the jewelry that accompanied the funeral was also made by Chen Shaoning. Chen Mei was often able to enter the palace when she was young, and she was even more liked by the emperor, and she almost recognized her as a goddaughter.
Kong An dared to tease Chen Mei, he was simply looking for death!
"Presumptuous!" The emperor was furious, picked up a book and threw down the dragon case, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knelt in a hall. "Huo Starling, what else do you have to say now?"
Huo Xing didn't expect that the woman Kong An was flirting with turned out to be Chen Mei, and the anger in his heart was almost about to rise. "The emperor is angry."
"How do you tell me to calm my anger!"
……
The early dynasty has long since dispersed, but Huo Starling is still left in the palace by the emperor. Listening to the little eunuch on duty that day, Huo Xing was scolded by the emperor for half an hour.
Huo Xing did not return home, but got into the carriage directly and rushed to Liangzhou. When he arrived at Meng's house, he directly kicked open the door of Meng's mansion and broke in angrily.
Yesterday, Meng Qingyue listened to Huo Hanyan's arrangement and pleaded guilty outside Huo Xing's study. She took out the sisterhood with the Prime Minister's wife and spoke, and she was sincere, and finally said that Huo Starling was moved, and she also brought back a lot of benefits from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Today said that Huo Starling came to the house, and she thought that Huo Starling was coming to visit her son, but when she heard what Huo Starling said, she was secretly shocked again.
"Where's Xiangye?"
"I went to the young master's room."
Meng Qingyue's face changed, and when she chased to Kong An's room, Kong An's other leg was also broken by Huo Xing. Meng Qingyue wailed and pounced on her son, and before she could speak, Huo Xing angrily reprimanded: "Breaking a pair of legs is cheap for you, dare to touch Chen Shaoning's daughter, how many heads do you have?" ”
After that, he looked at Meng Qingyue: "From today onwards, your Meng family has nothing to do with my country's prime minister's mansion." ”
After walking out of the Meng Mansion, Huo Xing hurried back to the capital. When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the first thing Huo Xing said when he got out of the carriage was to ask people to check what happened that day. He clearly remembered that Chen Shaoning only had one daughter and never gave birth to a son at all, so where did Chen Mei come up with an elder brother?
Begonia is going out of the house again today, and Fennel chased her to the side door of the palace and pestered her. "Princess, you can take the slave and maid out today, the slave and maid don't bother you, just follow you."
"Nope." She outright refused. "It's inconvenient to take you with me."
Fennel was about to cry, "Why is it inconvenient." You have so many people with the little prince, why are you unwilling to bring slaves and maids. ”
Begonia looked around, ignored her, turned around and left.
Fennel was a little annoyed, and as soon as she went back, she ran into Yin Ze. Since that day, Haitang and Yin Ze have seen that there is a gap, Yin Ze has been out of the house early for two days and returned late at night, and Haitang has ignored him, which has made the people in the backyard of the palace talk about it.
"Where's the princess?"
"Just now, I just got out of the house."
Yin Ze raised his eyebrows, "Gone out again?" ”
Fennel was about to answer, but Yin Ze asked again: "Went out of the side door?" ”
got affirmation, Yin Ze also left. Fennel stood in the courtyard and watched for a while, and couldn't see whether the little prince wanted to ask for peace, or didn't want to take care of the princess at all......
Haitang changed into men's clothes in the nearest ready-to-wear shop, and then went to the gambling house. When she arrived in front of the fifth master, she took out another thing and put it in front of the fifth master, "It's been three days, I've come to listen to the news." ”
The fifth master glanced at the valuable things in front of him, "The son has a good temper. ”
Haitang twisted her eyebrows, "How?" ”
The fifth master put away his things and said, "My gambling house has only been open for three years, and I didn't know the news in the capital three years ago. ”
She tapped on the table, "Then I've found it now." ”
The fifth master glanced at her, "I heard that the little prince Chengxiao used to have a princess who had not passed through the door, but why he was empty for four years before marrying the current princess, this is unknown." Moreover, the events of these four years ago seem to have been deliberately erased, and the people in the capital know very little, and even if they do, they don't want to say it. ”
The princess who did not pass through the door......
Begonia couldn't tell what it was like. There seemed to be something small and small that was colliding with her memories, but she couldn't think of it anymore.
"Gone?"
"No, that's all I find."
Haitang bowed, "Next time I need it, I'll come over to trouble the fifth master again." ”
The fifth master's eyes suddenly became dark and dark, "Are you Princess Cheng?" ”
Begonia was slightly stunned. The fifth master chuckled, "You really can't see your daughter's body?" Although you are more like a man at the table, I knew you were a woman from the moment you entered my casino that day. Since you don't want to identify yourself, then it's hard for me to debunk it. It's just that we're going to have business dealings in the future, so I think we'd better talk about it. ”
She pursed her lips and didn't say much. Just looked at him deeply before leaving, and his eyes were dim. "Jianghu people pay attention to credit, I asked you to check Yin Ze's affairs, don't sell me."
The fifth master raised the things in his hand, "Those who do business pay the most attention to credit." ”
Haitang thanked the fifth master, and as soon as he walked out of the gambling house, he saw Yin Ze standing opposite.
Seeing her waiting there, Begonia couldn't tell what it was like. He opened his mouth to ask him who the unmarried princess was, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
"What are you doing standing there, come here."
As soon as he gave the order, Begonia walked over without a trace. Yin Ze naturally pinched her face, "Won the money?" ”
She chuckled, "I had bad luck today, so I came out after two bets." ”
Yin Ze looked at the gambling house in front of him, "Or I'll accompany you in and play two more?" ”
Begonia's heart suddenly jumped wildly.
What did he know?
couldn't help but refuse, so Yin Ze pulled her in. Haitang stabilized her mind, "You happened to be passing by, or are you waiting for me?" ”
Yin Ze looked at her, "Just passing by." ”
She wasn't saying anything, she was just in turmoil.
The fifth master was a little surprised when he saw her coming back, and after seeing the noble man next to her, he immediately knew his identity.
Haitang nodded at the fifth master, and said to Yin Ze: "This is the fifth master's field." Immediately afterwards, he introduced to the fifth master, "This is, my husband." ”
The fifth master nodded casually and pointed to the field inside, "Two more games in it?" ”
Begonia smiled, "Okay." ”
On this day, Yin Ze accompanied Haitang to gamble for a long time, and when the fifth master had a black face, Yin Ze forcibly pulled her back.
On the way, Yin Ze looked at the woman who had been counting the silver she had won, thinking about her appearance at the gambling table, and laughed unconsciously.
"So fond of gambling money?"
Haitang picked up the silver, "Is there anyone in the world who thinks there is a lot of silver?" ”
Yin Ze pursed his lips, "If you make money, forget it, what if you lose?" He poked Begonia's smooth head. If you lose, you will sell the things in my house on the outskirts of Beijing and continue to gamble? ”
Haitang's eyebrows jumped, and she looked away weakly, "Didn't you give me the house, since it was given to me, why did it become yours again?" ”
He just smiled and said something else.
"Huo Starling was scolded by the emperor for more than half an hour today, and after leaving the court, he ran to Liangzhou, personally broke Kong An's other leg, and after that, he broke off his relationship with the Meng family,"
Begonia was shocked, she knew that it would happen sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"You didn't expect things to go so smoothly?" Yin Ze looked at her for a moment, "If it wasn't Chen Mei who he was flirting with that day, things really didn't go so well." ”
Sister Chen!
Haitang remembered that when Yin Ze took her to buy a wedding dress, Master Chen didn't talk about the former princess, and she also joked with Yin Ze at that time.
Then, Master Chen mentioned Fu Fu......
So his unmarried princess is Fu Qingqing?
She also remembered that the last time she went to Mrs. Hu's house, Mrs. Hu asked Yin Ze, where is Xiangwan?
Who is Xiangwan?
She froze in place, the coldness in her heart spread to her limbs, she only saw Yin Ze's lips open and closed, but she heard anything he said.
"What did you say?" Yin Ze stopped and looked at her, "Your voice was too low just now, I didn't pay attention to it." ”
She was stuck in her throat, and she didn't dare to ask what she had just said.
Who is Xiangwan?
