It had only snowed heavily overnight, and Lei Liu, the porter of the British Prince's Mansion, was wearing a newly made cotton coat, standing in front of the gate with his sleeves and talking to Lin Dayou, the steward in charge of purchasing: "It was a lot of snow last night, but it took half an hour to pile up two inches thick, and I got up to sweep the snow in less than four watches. ”

The snow light was too strong, and Lin Dayou's eyes narrowed into a slit: "Didn't delay His Highness from going out?" ”

Lei Liu was very proud: "That's nature. The most important thing in our house is to perform their duties, unless it is a knife in the sky, otherwise we must do our own things well. If you don't do well, you will leave, and if you do well, you will be rewarded. ”

There was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the two looked back, only to see two carriages coming from the side of the street towards the British Prince's Mansion, the first carriage was very gorgeous, with the emblem of the Duke of Wu engraved on it, and the other side was Qiu Jin, the son of the Duke of Wu, riding a horse and following the carriage.

Lin Dayou said strangely: "It can't be from our house, right?" Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness is in the yamen at this point. ”

Lei Liu, as the full-time porter of the British Palace, has a very vicious vision and a very sensitive message, and immediately said: "It's hard to say, it's our house on this street, don't you see that there is still a carriage?" There are female dependents in it, and it may not be necessary to visit the princess. The prince of Wu Guogong served in Huangzhou and happened to return to Beijing this year to report on his work. Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a different color: "No, I remember that the prince of Wu Guogong married the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changxing." ”

And Jiang Shanshan, the former fiancée of the British king, is the second daughter of the Marquis of Changxing, and after the marriage failed, the two families were equivalent to a feud. Mrs. Wu Guogong and Jiang Shanshan are sisters, so it is impossible for them to come to visit the princess, right? Otherwise, you're here to find fault!

Lei Liu was a little nervous, and at the same time felt that his opportunity to make meritorious service had arrived, no way, now everyone in the house who pleases the princess has either been promoted or increased the monthly money, and he also wants to take the opportunity to borrow the princess's east wind to make a fortune, after all, the year is over, and there are many places to spend money.

The prince of Wu Guo and the two carriages drove all the way to the gate of the British Palace, if it was someone else, Lei Liu would have run down to greet him, but because of the special status of this guest, he decided to wait and see first.

The steward of the Duke of Wu came up to deliver a post, saying that his son and his wife had only returned from other places and brought some earthen rituals to His Royal Highness and Princess Ying.

"Yo, that's a coincidence. Our Royal Highness went to the Yamen, and the princess is raising a baby, and I don't know if it's convenient or not, so I'll ask. Lei Liu adhered to the fine tradition of hospitality in the British Palace, and asked them to wait and pass it on himself.

Mingzhu had just had breakfast and was walking back and forth under the corridor, when he heard that the prince and his wife of Wu Guogong were here, he couldn't help but smile: "I have nothing to do with them, and I have nothing to say when I meet." But in the end, he is also the prince of the dignified country's mansion, and if he neglects his reputation, it is not good for His Highness, so it is good to ask Zhou Changshi to take the time to receive them. ”

Lei Liu immediately spread the word, Zhou Shuyi went out to pick up people, and very euphemistically said that the princess was raising a baby, and there were no outsiders, so he could only invite the prince and his wife to drink a cup of hot tea in the guest hall, and if there was no urgency, please ask them to come back another day.

Qiu Jin, the prince of Wu Guogong, was a little embarrassed, so he just took his eyes to look at the carriage, Zhou Shuyi saw it in his eyes, and knew that Qiu Jin probably didn't want to go on this trip, and it was not the King of England who wanted to meet him, but the people in the car who wanted to see the princess. immediately pretended not to know, and said enthusiastically with a smile: "If there is something wrong with the prince, it is the same to go to Zongzheng Temple to find our Highness." "Even the tea didn't call them in and drank it.

Qiu Jin felt faceless and wanted to leave unhappily, but the curtain of the car was lifted from inside, Jiang Shanshan poked her head out, and nodded at Zhou Shuyi gently: "Zhou Changshi, long time no see." I'm sorry for you to pass on the news to the Princess of England, but I actually want to see her. ”

How could the princess see her! I really let her in, isn't that looking for a cut? Zhou Shuyi smiled, "It's really unfortunate, our princess is raising a fetus, so we can't be alarmed." ”

Jiang Shanshan smiled gently and movingly: "Then, please tell her, I know her secret, if she refuses to see me, I will go and tell the king." I'm just waiting for her right here. ”

Zhou Shuyi was secretly frightened, what secrets could the princess have for her to know? I can also let her take it out and coerce people! He pondered again and again, and said with a smile: "Second Miss Jiang is really good at joking, if you say this, I don't dare to let you go to see our princess." She's raising a baby, what should I do if I scare her? ”

A hint of ferocity flashed in Jiang Shanshan's eyes: "Zhou Changshi, I know that you are deeply trusted and relied on by the King of England, but in this matter, I confirm that you can't make decisions for your princess." ”

Jiang Shanshan had a gentle and decent appearance when she appeared in front of everyone in the British Palace, and it was rare to be so fierce and strong, it seemed that she was really forced too badly, and she couldn't help revealing her true form. Zhou Shuyi sighed secretly and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and pass it on to the princess, but whether she is free or not, that's not necessarily." ”

Seeing Zhou Shuyi leaving, Qiu Jin glanced at Jiang Shanshan very dissatisfied, then turned his head to his wife Jiang Linlin in the carriage and said, "It's already come to this point, what's the point of being entangled like this?" ”

He was very dissatisfied after hearing about Jiang Shanshan, and he didn't understand why she refused to marry Yuwenlong, the dignified princess of the county didn't do it, but she wanted to sharpen her head to do what the princess of England was, and her father-in-law also supported her, and everyone in this family was simply wrong. Today he originally refused to come no matter what, but his father-in-law begged him again and again, and his wife begged him for a long time, so he had to be cheeky and follow this trip. Now that he has eaten a blank eye, he is really unhappy in his heart.

Jiang Linlin said good-naturedly: "Shanshan has her own reason, didn't we say it?" If you can't succeed, help her this time. As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Shanshan, hoping that Jiang Shanshan could understand what she meant.

The statement that Yu Wenchu will be the emperor in the future seems too illusory to her, even if her sister is desperately trying to be the side concubine of the British king? Could it be that he can fight the murderous and domineering Fu Mingzhu? Look at what Fu Mingzhu has bullied people into, where did Yu Wenchu take care of half of it? Because Jiang Shanshan has been tossing, she can't hold her head up at her in-law's house, if it weren't for her father and siblings, she wouldn't have made this trip at all.

Jiang Shanshan understood what her brother-in-law and sister said, but she pretended not to understand, her successive failures greatly dragged down the family, it was normal for the family to have other ideas, she had to win a small battle first to strengthen their confidence.
