Chapter 9: The Eccentric Eldest Princess

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie's face changed, and the hand held by Ning Shaobi shook, Ning Shaobi immediately noticed it, and with a slight force, he said in a low voice: "It's okay." ”

He nodded slightly to the maid who opened the curtain at the entrance of the 'door', and the maid understood and raised his voice to say to the inside: "Your Highness, the little prince and the little princess 'woman' are here." ”

Before the 'woman' spoke, there was a dead silence in the room!

It was followed by the voice of the eldest princess Ji Yang, as if she hadn't heard the words of the 'girl' before, and said happily: "Jiulang is here?" Come on in! ”

Ning Shaobi took Zhuo Zhaojie's hand into the 'door', turned the gold-inlaid treasure Nafu Yingxiang's glazed floor-to-ceiling screen, inside is a very wide Ming Hall, because it is a 'spring' day, the floor is paved with a light color 'color' ultramarine bottom entwined grape pattern on the deer, the hall is dressed in a gorgeous dress The eldest princess of Jiyang should have been lazily reclining on the couch, and the two little maids knelt on the side of the couch and gently beat the 'legs', and heard that the beloved little grandson was coming, and was hurriedly throwing off the little envoy 'girl', turning over and sitting up.

Behind the eldest princess stands the rosewood mica vertical screen of eight folds three more than nine as shown in the picture, there is a small incense table in the style of plum 'flower' on the side of the couch, a small furnace with a simple form on the slight, the mouth of the sinister is spitting green smoke, the room is filled with the aroma of precious ambergris, a low case is placed in front of the couch, the crystal basin and the glass bowl are on the top, and the fruit cakes are filled inside, and there is a silver kettle of the forest style, which is filled with drink, and two colorful clothes make the 'woman' kneel in front of the desk and prepare to serve.

The seats below, at this moment, are already bustling, most of them are full of people - of course, everyone's face 'color' is not very good-looking, which can be seen from the fact that the snacks in front of them are almost gone, these people in the Qiguo Mansion are afraid that they have been waiting for at least more than an hour, not to mention how rude this is, such a large family is not no one has nothing to do, from sitting early in the morning to waiting for the new leisurely ' Women's tea, originally thought that they could go back after a scene, and a few people even had less breakfast, but now they can only rely on a few snacks from the eldest princess to satisfy their hunger, so that they can also have a good face for the newcomer It's weird.

If it weren't for the eldest princess who was also waiting, these people would have been so angry that they would have kicked over a few cases and shook their hands away!

Seeing Ning Shaobi come in, there was a 'woman' in a gorgeous costume who smiled slightly and said: "Jiulang is here, you kid, just now we also said that you will go directly to the palace today to thank you, and then come to your mother!" ”

Listening to her tone, this should be the Duchess of Qiguo, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but glance at her, just thinking that Ou was afraid that Ning Shaobi would be favored in front of the eldest princess of Jiyang, as soon as he came, he didn't say anything, this Ou Shi was busy explaining first-I didn't want Ning Shaobi to even sweep the corners of her eyes, she directly pulled her around the next people, passed the short case in front of the eldest princess, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, I have been waiting for a long time today." ”

His words made Zhuo Zhaojie's face flush even more, and he didn't dare to look at the faces of the people around him, his head was almost lowered to the ground, but she was embarrassed, but Ou Shi was even more embarrassed, and he didn't dare to 'show' his dissatisfaction with Ning Shaobi in front of the eldest princess, so he had to just stop his voice, and his heart was so hateful that he dripped!

The eldest princess of Jiyang didn't mean to help her daughter-in-law out of the siege, so she lovingly pulled Ning Shaobi to sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with such a trivial matter?" The palace is still thinking about it, should I send someone into the palace to talk to Shiyi Lang, let you go over tomorrow, in the end, you haven't stopped since dusk yesterday, and you should be late today. ”

The meaning of these words is that not only do they not care about Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie's late arrival today, but they will also enter the palace to thank her, and the eldest princess will also help round the field, the eldest princess is eccentric to this point, and she said it openly, and the intention is naturally tacit, the next one wears a goose yellow ground to the bird diamond pattern 'cross' collar with narrow sleeves, ties an apricot red Luo skirt, and combs the 'female' face with a fallen horse bun The 'color' changed, and he hurriedly got up and said: "Fang is the grandchild' who talks a lot, and only thinks about meeting the ninth brother and sister, but forgets that the ninth brother and sister ...... yesterday."

"Wordy, when this son talks to his grandmother, are you allowed to 'interject'?" Zhuo Zhaojie heard that this 'female' was the good voice he heard in the courtyard before, and he should be called Ning Shaobi's cousin, the heir of the Marquis of Yongcheng is thin, and he only has one son under his knees, but the prince of Qi Guo is prosperous, and there are ten sons and daughters under his knees, including four and six concubines, and the second concubine is just the second concubine 'female' and the second concubine, and now this is ' Although the woman's voice is sweet and pleasant, she looks at her age and is not young, about thirty years, and she is also comfortable talking before Qi Guogong and Ou Shi, and she thinks that it is the eldest mother Ning Ruicheng.

It's just that the two rooms of the Ning family are really the same thing, this Ning Ruicheng took the initiative to come out to apologize, but Ning Shaobi didn't even let her finish speaking, her face sank and she didn't have anything to say, listening to his tone, it seemed that he was scolding the subordinates who didn't understand the rules, Ning Ruicheng was also a pampered and raised lady of the Guogong Mansion, or the eldest 'daughter', hearing the words, everyone trembled slightly, Zhuo Zhaojie was dumbfounded, thinking that his tea has not been respected, and people are about to break up?

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess of Ji Yang frowned when she heard this, and glanced at Ning Ruiwu - Ning Ruicheng actually sat down obediently again, as if nothing had happened.

And the eldest princess of Jiyang smiled tolerantly, and didn't mention Ning Shaobi scolding her cousin in front of her, as if such a thing had long been taken for granted, and said to Ning Shaobi lovingly: "Since you came, just salute the tea first, rest with your heart and mind before entering the palace, don't be tired, there is nothing urgent about the left and right, I can't make you work hard." ”

Then he instructed a man in brocade clothes who was standing with his hands down: "Pang Sui, you send someone into the palace once, tell Shiyi Lang and the queen, and say that the palace wants to talk to them more, and they will enter the palace later to thank you." ”

The man bowed his hand slightly and said, "Yes!" "I followed the footsteps like the wind and went out.

The eldest princess ordered, and someone immediately spread a brocade mat on the side of the couch, Zhuo Zhaojie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, the eldest princess was partial to Ning Shaobi, and she followed the blessing - she was busy kneeling on the mat with Ning Shaobi, and the envoy 'girl' had already made tea and brought it up, Zhuo Zhaojie took it, raised it steadily, handed it to the eldest princess of Jiyang, and said respectfully: "Please grandmother use tea!" ”

"Good." The eldest princess of Jiyang loves the house and Wu, deliberately shook the face of Zu Ning, immediately took the tea, took a sip, put it on the small table next to her, and smiled and made people take out the meeting gift that had been prepared from behind the screen, but it was a pair of colorful jade Ruyi, Ruyi carved persimmon and 10,000 character pattern on his head, together it is "all the best", it is an excellent color head, Zhuo Zhaojie was busy kowtowing thanks, and the eldest princess kindly advised, "Good life takes care of Jiulang of the palace, and the palace will protect you." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie followed his mother's advice before leaving the cabinet, and said respectfully: "'Serving' her husband is the duty of a daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter-in-law dare not disobey!" ”

The eldest princess of Jiyang nodded slightly, Zhuo Zhaojie used some strength to catch this pair of Ruyi, and after getting up, Mao Gu immediately took it carefully, although Ruyi was heavy and had to be held carefully, but Mao Gu's eyes were very joyful - even if it was the prince's house' From the perspective of the door, this kind of meeting gift is also extremely rich, whether the eldest princess Jiyang is looking at Ning Shaobi's face, or out of satisfaction with Zhuo Zhaojie, all in all, with the dignity given by the eldest princess, as well as her promise, Zhuo Zhaojie's late arrival today can be regarded as revealed by the eldest princess herself.

According to the previous Ning Ruiwu was silenced by the eldest princess's eyes, and he didn't even dare to show his resentment, and Qi Guogong and Ou Shi were both on the spot, but they didn't dare to say a word for the 'daughter', the eldest princess's prestige in the Ning family was far from being comparable to the prestige of Minping Hou in the Zhuo family.

Originally, Ning Shaobi was very fond of Zhuo Zhaojie now, coupled with the attitude of the eldest princess, she expected that Zhuo Zhaojie would have a good time in her husband's house in the future.

The eldest princess drank tea, and then it was time to meet the husband and wife of Qiguo, and she didn't want Ning Shaobi to have no intention of moving at all, so she pulled Zhuo Zhaojie to sit down on the couch next to the eldest princess, and said with a smile: "Grandmother's words to Zhaojie are not right, the grandson is a dignified man, he should 'serve' his grandmother and protect his wife, how can he hide behind Zhaojie?" ”

The eldest princess of Jiyang has always connived at him, and would rather have no face than give her grandson a decent one, at this time, she naturally would not be angry because her grandson bluntly said that she was wrong, and scolded with a smile: "Jiulang who has no conscience, what this palace says is to serve you day and night, isn't this what a 'woman' should do?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "What my grandmother said is very true. ”

"Grandmother loves her grandchildren." Ning Shaobi smiled and said, "It's just that husband and wife are one, Zhaojie is now married to his grandson as a 'wife', and his grandson is like a person, and my grandmother feels sorry for my grandson, and I also feel sorry for Zhaojie." ”

The eldest princess of Ji Yang relied on him for everything, nodded and said, "Since Jiulang said so, this palace will naturally protect your daughter-in-law in the future." ”

After saying a few more words, the next head Qi Guogong was expressionless, but the anger in his eyes spewed out, and the eldest princess of Jiyang was pushed by the envoy next to her a few times, and then she snorted lightly, and said to Ning Shaobi with Yan Yue's "color": "Good boy, I went to see your uncle and them with your daughter-in-law." ”

Ning Shaobi glanced at Qi Guogong and the others, and said slowly: "Grandmother has a life, and grandchildren obey themselves." ”

What he said made it clear that he didn't want to greet Dafang at all, but it was because the eldest princess opened her mouth that he had to do it.

Qi Guogong finally couldn't hold it back, and said coldly: "Mother, since my nephew is unwilling to give tea to my son and others with my nephew and daughter-in-law, my son doesn't have to drink this tea!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie held his breath and stared, and listened to the eldest princess of Jiyang say without raising her eyelids: "Is it true that if this palace does not die for a day, it will not be able to live in peace for a day?" ”

She said this very seriously, Qi Guogong was afraid of his biological mother, and his previous anger was suffocating, and he softened his tone and said: "My son doesn't dare, my mother's 'jade' body is always healthy, and the young 'spring' is still there, so why do you say this?" The son begged his mother to take it back! ”

The eldest princess of Jiyang sneered and said: "The palace is old, and now it is just a day of life, although the first emperor of the body is called a golden branch 'jade' leaf, but in the early years, for various reasons, the palace has not had a few days of comfortable days, it is rare for Jiulang to beat Xiao Chenghuan's knees, that is, to see him make the palace the happiest, why can't you even tolerate this?" ”

Qi Guogong paused for a few breaths before saying, "That's not what my son meant. ”

"And what do you mean?" The eldest princess of Ji Yang said coldly, "You are a prince of the country, and you are also an old man, what's wrong with being a little indulgent to your children and nephews?" This is your nephew, not your son! Do you want to take care of the head and pins? Besides, you yourself are a son of a man, do you listen to this palace for anything? ”

"My son knows." Qi Guogong obviously knew the eldest princess Jiyang's 'sex' feelings, and when the words came here, he didn't say a word about 'sex', and directly left the table to ask for guilt, and the eldest princess hadn't finished her seizure, patted the edge of the couch and scolded: "This palace knows what you are thinking!" It's nothing more than the eccentricity of the main palace! Yes and no?! ”

The people in the hall did not dare to come out regardless of the master and servant, but Ning Shaobi was 'colorful', and even had the leisure to slowly peel a citrus that had been stored in the cellar until now, divided into two halves, carefully selected the oranges, and half was given to the eldest princess of Jiyang, generally to Zhuo Zhaojie - Zhuo Zhaojie saw the eldest princess of Jiyang angry for the first time, and he didn't dare to speak, and he was shaken by Ning Shaobi's hand before subconsciously grabbing the orange petal, and he didn't know what kind of mood he should have......

I only heard that the eldest princess ignored the small actions on their side, and continued to scold: "What if the palace is eccentric? Most of the palace has been working diligently, and now there are only so many years left, I want to spoil a junior, I want to protect a grandchild, you also have to come to disagree?! Talking about the palace's preference for Jiuro in private, is it really true that the palace doesn't know?! I can't stand the favor of my elders, and I can't see the good children that my elders love and love! It's also a shame that you have this face to discuss! There is this face jealousy! Are you fair? You're going to be able to hold a bowl of water even?! As the eldest son of this palace, I don't want to share my worries for this palace, and I will find trouble for this palace and make this palace angry, this is your way of being a son of man? And why do you want this palace to hurt you like Tsuro and Kuro?! ”

…… Zhuo Zhaojie stared at the orange petal in his hand and sighed, and looked at the eldest princess with great admiration, the eccentricity of being an elder is ordinary, in the end, after the knees are grouped with 'women', where is it so easy to want a bowl of water? But even if you like one or two juniors very much, you always have to hide it, or find a reason, and it is always inconvenient to say it openly.

Like the eldest princess, who is so open-minded and eccentric, and is extremely arrogant, and even scolds the people who are dissatisfied with her partiality, Zhuo Zhaojie thought to himself: This is about the same person in the world.
