Chapter 68: Good News
got into the carriage with Bingling's hand, and Cen Muning just sat down.
Yuan Long rushed over panting, looking anxious.
"Then the old man will not be far away, King Ruiming will be free, come to the house for dinner." Cen Yun turned his face and saw Yuan Long's expression, and he faintly felt that something was wrong. "What's wrong?"
Yuan Long saluted him and King Ruiming, and then said worriedly, "New lady...... Dead. ”
"Dead?" Cen Yun couldn't help but be surprised, but guarding King Ruiming, he didn't dare to ask more after all.
In the carriage, Cen Muning also heard this sentence. Nothing else, what she can't worry about the most is Mu Yuan. "Pity Mu Yuan, I don't have a mother like me."
Bingling looked indignant: "Miss pity her, who will pity Miss you." At the beginning, Mrs. was calculated by the fourth aunt, so she lost the trust of the master. Otherwise, how could it be that after so many years, it still can't be buried in peace. Fortunately, His Royal Highness still feels sorry for Miss. Now that the misunderstanding has been explained, no one in the house can stop talking nonsense in the future. If you give it to your slaves and maids, you should not use a red-hot iron to smooth their mouths. ”
Bingling, who has always looked weak, said such cruel words, Cen Muning knew that she must have hated it in her heart.
"That's it, if you're dead, you'll be dead." Cen Mu Ning closed her eyes: "I hope my father can be better to Mu Yuan." After three years, find a good family for her. ”
Bingling didn't say anything more, just gently wiped the stains from between her fingernails with a roll.
As soon as the carriage entered the gate of the Ruiming Palace, it was found that all kinds of items were blocked inside.
Zhuang Chenhu wondered what was going on, and asked Yin to leave and ask.
"Qi Qi master, it was Concubine Zhen who was worried about the body of the master and the princess, and specially sent a lot of things over." Yin Li said truthfully: "My subordinates have ordered them to record them and send them to various places. ”
"Prepare a generous gift for this king and send it to the palace early tomorrow morning." Zhuang Chenchen said a little perfunctorily.
"Yes." Yin Li nodded immediately, but said: "It's just that Concubine Zhen asked people to send a lot of jewelry and satin to the princess, will you invite the princess into the palace tomorrow morning to thank you?" ”
Cen Muning lifted the curtain of the carriage and said in a gentle tone: "The concubine is so worried about the concubine, and the concubine should enter the palace to thank her." ”
She was unwilling to give up every opportunity to enter the palace, just to be able to get close to her enemies and take revenge earlier. It doesn't matter if it's dangerous.
Zhuang Chenchen didn't speak, even if he acquiesced.
Cen Muning got out of the carriage with Bingling's men, and said respectfully, "I don't know what Your Highness wants to use for dinner?" The concubine is good to prepare. ”
"Whatever." Zhuang Chenchen didn't respond much, walked through the middle courtyard by himself, and returned to the study.
Xinwei greeted him happily and said respectfully: "Welcome the princess back to the house, the slave and maid have prepared the potion for bathing the feet." It is just right to relieve the pain of the princess's feet. ”
"You're careful." Cen Muning was worried about Qingli, so she had to ask more: "Is Qingli better?" ”
"Much better." Xin Wei said with a smile: "I got up early and ate a bowl of porridge, and it seems that I am in good spirits." ”
"I'll take a foot bath later, I'll go see her first." Cen Muning felt a little guilty about Qingli, she didn't know that even if Qingli was trusted by Zhuang Chen, he could still be ruthless.
In the study, Yin Li accompanied Zhuang Chenchen to sort out the things in the court one by one.
It took more than an hour to say this.
"Master, there has just been news from Prime Minister Cen's Mansion that he will welcome his wife back for burial when the auspicious time is chosen." Yin Li saw that his master was idle, so he said this.
"Cen Xiang is so resolute and resolute, but it is reassuring." Zhuang Chenchen hooked his lips slightly. "It's okay, if he wills to go his own way, the next coffin will be given to him."
"It's just ......" Yin Li was slightly worried: "The master is undoubtedly offending the Queen Mother by doing this." I heard that the Queen Mother agreed with Cen Xiang's move very much. It is said that the feng shui in the nunnery is good, and you can often listen to the Buddha's voice and wash away your sins. Only then did Mrs. Cen Xiang stay there. ”
"This time and that time." Zhuang Chenchen's eyes turned bright: "Now that Cen Xiang wants to continue to be loyal to the emperor, he has to see if the emperor still needs his allegiance." If not, the shaving pick will not last long. ”
"It's still the master's plan." Yin Li couldn't help but be proud: "It not only makes the princess comfortable, but also separates the relationship between Cen Xiang, the queen mother and the emperor by the way." As long as Cen Xiang defects, most of the situation in the DPRK and China will be in the palm of your hand, plus the forces we have secretly cultivated over the years. What the master wants to do, he will definitely be able to do. ”
"Nature." Zhuang Chenchen also thinks so. This time, I did this just to win over Cen Xiang, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with pleasing her.
In the inner room, a handful of white sesame seeds are sprinkled on the fragrant grilled chicken thighs. Some of the sesame seeds fell into the fire and made a crackling sound, igniting a stronger aroma.
Qingli sniffed and opened his eyes slightly.
"What is it, it smells so good." She jerked to her feet, her chest aching like a tear.
Cen Muning's face turned white with fright, and she hurriedly pressed her shoulder on the other side: "Don't move, it's all made for you, can it be delivered to your mouth?" ”
"Princess, you're back." Qing Li smiled slightly, and his frowning brow loosened a little. "Is the affairs of the house going smoothly?"
"Smooth." Cen Mu Ning sighed regretfully: "It's just that I pity Mu Yuan." That's it, let's not talk about that. You must be hungry. ”
"Hmm." Qingli nodded aggrievedly: "The slave maid wants to eat meat, but Xinwei and they sent a bowl of porridge over." Said that my injury was not light, and eating meat was easy to cause inflammation. What do they know, if they don't eat meat, they will have the strength to recover. It is still the princess who knows the mind of the slave best. ”
Bingling shaved off the bones of the roasted chicken thighs, cut them into small pieces, and brought them to her mouth with a silver skewer.
Qingli took a big gulp: "Princess, your craftsmanship is simply the best craftsmanship in the world." ”
"It's not as good as you say." Cen Muning saw that she was eating fragrantly, and her heart was a lot more relaxed. "It's all my fault, and I've caused you to suffer."
"Don't say that, princess." Qingli's mouth was stuffed with things, and he couldn't pronounce words very clearly. On the contrary, the slave and maid felt that the master valued the princess, so he did not kill the slave and maid. Otherwise, the slave's life would have been confessed a long time ago. ”
Before her words fell, Yin Li walked in quickly: "Say hello to the princess." This is a list of gifts that you will be invited to bring into the palace tomorrow morning, and the master said that the princess should consider whether there is anything inappropriate, if you want to add or delete, just tell your subordinates. ”
Cen Mooning took the list and looked at it carefully: "You are doing things safely, naturally there is nothing inappropriate." ”
"Then the subordinate retired first." Yin Li saluted respectfully and withdrew with the gift list.
Qingli was worried that she couldn't eat: "Princess, now that the slave and maid are injured, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to accompany you into the palace, let alone respond outside the palace." Why did you enter the palace again? ”
"You and I disappeared under the noses of the emperor and the queen mother that day, and now that they are safe and sound, they naturally want to enter the palace to explain." Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly: "It is inevitable that there will be disagreements between us in the future, just take the statement that I was taken out of the city by someone, and you were stranded in the city." Remember. ”
"Yes, Princess." The green plough answered, and then continued to eat slowly.
Cen Muning's heart was also a little up and down, she was about to enter the palace again, and she didn't know what the situation would be.
This night, Zhuang Xianchen seemed to have a lot of things to do, and did not come to her room. I just heard Yin Li say that the side dishes she sent were very delicious, and they were basically eaten up.
On the morning of the second day, Zhuang Chenchen specially asked someone to send a set of red gold and ruby jewelry.
Looking at the style, it doesn't seem to be popular at this time, but both the workmanship and the quality are first-class. Cen Muning accepted his favor, so it was naturally difficult to refuse. Let Bingling dress her up.
"Your Highness is really a good eye, Miss, you are white and beautiful, and you are embellished with this set of jewelry, which adds a bit of gorgeousness." On the carriage, Bingling couldn't help but keep watching. "If it's in the sun, it's even more dazzling."
"It's good, but I'm afraid it's too grand." Cen Muning couldn't help but worry, it was difficult to enter the palace like this, and it would be difficult not to be eye-catching.
She really didn't think wrong, this time she just entered the palace, and she actually ran into the royal driver.
said that the queen was sick, and the queen mother and Concubine Zhen were visiting in the Fengling Palace. So Cen Muning's carriage had no choice but to go towards Fengling Palace.
Halfway through, I met the emperor.
"The concubine is a greeting to the emperor." Cen Muning got down from the carriage and saluted respectfully to the emperor on the royal chariot.
"It's Princess Ruiming." Zhuang Zhizhou frowned slightly: "Seeing that you are safe and sound, my heart is steady." ”
"Emperor Lao bothered, is it a concubine?" The moment Cen Muning lowered his head, the golden tassels on his sideburns squirmed, and he looked extraordinarily light.
Zhuang Yanzhou stared for a moment before saying, "I will go to see the queen first." ”
"Yes." Cen Muning let go of the way and asked the royal chariot to go first, and then got into the carriage and followed behind the royal car.
Seriously, it was the first time she had seen the queen. It's a pity that the gift has been sent to Fengluan Pavilion, and when it comes to the queen, it's not good-looking empty-handed.
In the inner room, the Queen Mother was slightly empty-eyed, and the corners of her lips were raised.
Concubine Zhen also smiled, her face full of softness.
Zhuang Zhizhou came in, greeted him, and walked to the queen's hibiscus tent: "How is it, do you feel better?" ”
The queen's smile was soaked in the most charming warmth in spring, and before she spoke, her cheeks turned crimson: "The concubine has been in the palace for many years, and she can finally open up branches and leaves for the emperor." ”
"Really?" Zhuang Zhizhou couldn't help but feel happy.
"Seriously." The queen bit her lip and hung her head.
"Very good." Zhuang was overjoyed.
"The hanging heart of the mourning family has finally been let go." Before the Queen Mother's words fell, she saw Cen Muning walk in, and she was stunned. "Isn't this Princess Ruiming? Why did you come to the Queen? ”
"The concubine asks the emperor, the queen mother, the concubine, and the queen's mother." Cen Mu Ning saluted, and then said respectfully: "Knowing that the queen is pregnant, the concubine is here to congratulate." ”
"Yes." The Queen Mother smiled coldly, and her tone was inevitably sharp: "The mourning family, the emperor and Concubine Zhen all only learned that the queen was pregnant, and your news is well-informed." Could it be that you have a tailwind? Out of the mouth of the imperial doctor, this good news will immediately reach your ears? ”
