Chapter 138: Princess Lu Appears
Xiao Rin shook his head, "It won't be the third prince, there have been a lot of twists and turns in the impeachment of the prime minister in the court in the past few days, and the emperor has personally issued a holy order, no one can discuss this matter anymore, he will personally deal with this matter." If the three princes intercede for the prime minister in this limelight, the emperor will be dissatisfied with the three princes' disobedience to his orders, and the second will question the three princes' private friendship with the courtiers, vainly trying to seize power and usurp the throne, especially if this courtier is still the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person. This is a prince's taboo, the third prince is smart and calm, and he will definitely not show his wolf ambition and fox tail here. ”
Xiao Yuan looked at his eldest brother dumbfounded, "Already... Does it have so much influence above the court? Will the Prime Minister's Mansion be affected? That Jing Ning is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she will..."
"No problem." Xiao Rin said lightly, "The prime minister has been sick in bed for the past few days, the emperor is longen, sympathetic to the prime minister, since he personally issued a holy decree to punish Zheng Xiuning, he will not punish the prime minister's mansion again." However, this is also a warning to the prime minister, how can the unequal family be peaceful in the world. ”
said and walked towards the door, "But don't worry, Prime Minister Zheng sits in the position of prime minister and is deeply affected by the sacred heart, he is not a simple character, and he will not be slaughtered like this." ”
Xiao Rin walked to the door and suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned around and instructed Xiao Yuan, "Don't investigate this matter anymore." If there is nothing to do in the past few days, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion a few more times, or ask Jing Ning to go shopping, but remember, don't mention this matter in front of Jing Ning. In short, just let her relax and be afraid, just let her feel at ease. If you need it, you can go to my storeroom and pick out a gift yourself. ”
Xiao Yuan blinked, "I can go to your warehouse and pick it by myself?" ”
"Yes, but don't pick your favorite, I'm afraid it will end up in your pocket."
Xiao Yuan pretended to be angry and chopped her feet, "Am I that kind of person?" Brother, how can you think of me like this, and brother, how come you only know that you love your future sister-in-law, why don't I have a reward? ”
Hurt future sister-in-law... Xiao Rin's footsteps slowed down slightly, if she really loved it, how could she be hurt so much? And he couldn't comfort her personally, and he didn't even know who was helping her now. The hand on his side gradually clenched into a fist, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were fully revealed. After a pause, Xiao Rin exhaled deeply, there are three years at the latest, and after three years at the latest, I can marry you, and then protect you for a long time, and no longer let you be wronged.
Prime Minister's Office
After Jing Ning went to greet the old lady every day, he turned around to visit Zheng Anyan, and walked to the door of Zheng Anyan, but heard a sound of talking from inside the house, and it sounded like Zheng Anyan was talking to his personal guard. Jing Ning stopped.
"Ahem, cough, cough, get ready, I'll go to court normally tomorrow."
"But your body is not healed." The Dark Guard's voice was a little urgent.
"It's okay, it's okay, cough cough, it's already good, I'm just angry today, just rest for the night." Hmph, those officials are looking forward to my return to the West as soon as possible. Hmph, those people, as long as I Zheng Anyan still has a breath, I can easily clean them up. Someone borrowed a knife, and thought about sending another knife up. What stupid stupid! Stupid! cough cough cough cough ......"
"Master, master, don't be in a hurry."
"You say, if Jing Ning's mother hadn't died, it would have been great. There will not be so many forks in the family, wronged Jing Ning, wronged her. As he spoke, Zheng Anyan burst into tears.
"How can the unequal family level the world. Why is the world peaceful? Zheng Anyan muttered to himself.
Jing Ning left quietly. After walking away, Wen Xing looked curious, "Didn't Miss want to see how the master was, why didn't you go in?" ”
Jing Ning was in a very low mood, shook his head and did not explain, Wen Xing did not ask again.
Back in his room, Jing Ning sat at the table with a pen and paper to write and draw, on the huge rice paper, hairpins and small letters wrote a string of names, the first to bear the brunt of Zhao Ying, Yun Heng, Xiao Rin.
Zhao Ying is the closest person to the emperor among the three, but Jing Ning feels that Zhao Ying has no reason to help himself so much, if it is to please the Prime Minister's Mansion, he should not hang the charge on Zheng Xiuning, but should pull out the young lady of a small official's family to take the blame. Jing Ning lightly crossed Zhao Ying's name.
Yun Heng, Jing Ning shook his head gently, although Yun Heng has always been pleasing himself and volunteered to investigate this matter in the Imperial History Mansion, Jing Ning always felt that Yun Heng's purpose of approaching her was not pure, and even Yun Heng's love for her was depressing and upsetting.
Xiao Rin, reading these two words, Jing Ning laughed lightly, this person is a contradictory person, who seems to be indifferent on the surface but is actually very friendly.
Lan Yao, not to mention Xiao Yuan, in Jing Ning's opinion, the two of them are kind-hearted, but they are also straight-hearted, simple-minded people, and they must not have understood the twists and turns and intrigues. Even if they figured it out, the two had no chance to explain the ins and outs of the matter to the emperor, and decided that Zheng Xiuning did it. At the same time, as women, the two of them will also take into account that Zheng Xiuning is a person from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they will be both prosperous and lossy. The woman's maiden family represents the woman's future status in the man's family. If Zheng Xiuning is caught, the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion will also plummet, and Jing Ning's future marriage will also be affected.
So who is it? Jing Ning frowned and thought seriously.
At this time, Wen Xing came in with an invitation, looked at Jing Ning, and stopped talking.
"Didn't I say that you won't accept invitations lately? Except for the palace, everything else is refused. ”
"But Miss, this is a personal maid sent by Princess Lu in person, and the maid is still waiting for Miss to reply in the courtyard."
Jing Ning stood up suddenly, the chair behind him was pushed over, and a "clang" sound resounded through the boudoir. Jing Ning stared at Wen Xing, "Say it again, who are you talking about?" ”
Wen Xing seemed to be frightened, his eyes were slightly red, and he stumbled and replied, "Little... Miss, it's Princess Lu, it's not a banquet, Princess Lu invited you and Second Miss, so you must go tomorrow. ”
Jing Ning slowly closed her eyes, Princess Lu, forget Princess Lu, what is the purpose of Princess Lu?
After waiting for a long time, Jing Ning didn't speak, "Miss, then you..."
"Just say I know, I will definitely visit Princess Lu tomorrow."
Maybe tomorrow everything will fall into place, and all questions will be answered.
Jing Ning didn't sleep well this night, but he still got up early to clean up himself, and sent Bihua to dress up Zheng Xiuning a little and escort Zheng Xiuning into the carriage.
From the Prime Minister's Mansion to King Lu's Mansion, the atmosphere in the carriage was very depressing. Zheng Xiuning wanted to say something, but was stared at by Bihua and didn't dare to speak.
When they arrived at King Lu's mansion, there were already Princess Lu's maidservants waiting for them at the gate. The maidservant led them into the lobby.
Looking at Princess Lu, who was sitting on the main seat with a noble atmosphere, Zheng Jingning saluted unslowly, but Zheng Xiuning felt a little nervous, and he almost made a mistake in saluting.
"Get up, don't be polite." Princess Lu looked at Jing Ning.
Jing Ning straightened up, and Zheng Xiuning also got up with a sigh of relief, but was scolded by the grandmother behind the princess, "Did the princess let you get up?" Kneel well! ”
Zheng Xiuning was stunned for a while, but he was also frightened and fell to his knees. Jing Ning frowned, Zheng Xiuning is also the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Xiuning," Princess Lu said slowly, not angry but mighty, "This princess has accepted you as a righteous daughter, but I didn't expect you to do such an unbearable thing, it is because of my lack of discipline for you, and this grandmother will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with you in the future." ”
