On a late autumn day, even if the sun is shining, it doesn't necessarily matter how hot it is, Yuwenchu is calm, but the tip of his nose is slightly sweaty, Mingzhu thinks that he must have heard that she had an accident in the palace, so he was anxious. That's why when she saw Yuwen Chu coming in, she greeted her with great joy and shouted coquettishly: "Your Highness." ”

Yuwen Chu smiled at her and said softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Mingzhu couldn't see that people were kind to her, so she immediately hit the snake and followed the pole, and said with red eyes: "It's not good." They all bullied me. "The old witch of the Empress Dowager Min and the little bastard of the little emperor bullied her, and the Empress Dowager refused to see her, and even his own mother was angry with her.

Yu Wenchu shook her hand and turned his head to look at Concubine Min.

Concubine Min was sitting facing the doorway, but when she saw him come in, she turned her face away, as if she didn't want to see him at all. She can't afford to mess with her daughter-in-law, can't she mess with her son?

It's a gamble with him. Yuwen Chu thought about it for a while, and then understood, and didn't ask Mingzhu what happened, and walked over with a smile to salute Concubine Min: "Erchen greets the concubine." The voice was as loud as a bell, and everyone inside and outside the hall heard it, and Concubine Min couldn't pretend not to hear it.

However, Concubine Min was really angry, twisted her body and refused to pay attention to him.

Yu Wenchu has never been an honest character, he stood up on his own, went to serve the tea that Mingzhu had drunk, and went to eat the plum blossom cake on the plate, and complained: "It's really busy, I got up early and had a breakfast in the house, and now I haven't even eaten lunch, and I haven't drunk tea." ”

Concubine Min had the intention to ignore him, but Mingzhu took it seriously and said very angrily: "How did Wei Tiande serve? Can't find food, can't you find tea? See how I clean him up when I go back! "I want to go to the aunt in the Guangming Palace, and I want to get some hot food for Yuwen Chu to open a small stove.

was compared by her like this, but it seemed that Concubine Min, the mother-in-law, was very hard-hearted and didn't care about her son's life or death. Concubine Min was aggrieved in her heart, and said with a straight face: "Since Wei Tiande is not good at serving, what else do you want him to do?" Pull him over and beat him to death. ”

Mingzhu was taken aback, the concubine Niangniang, who has always been gentle and kind, would actually say such a thing? is even more vicious and unreasonable than her!

Yuwen was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that Concubine Min was competing with Mingzhu, and then looking at Mingzhu stupidly, he looked ignorant and surprised, and he didn't understand what was going on with Concubine Min at all. So he wanted to laugh a little, and said with a pleasant face: "It's not that Wei Tiande didn't serve well, but the food sent was not to my taste, and he was too busy, so the meal was delayed." ”

Concubine Min's face became more and more ugly, she took out an envelope from her sleeve, threw it on the table, and said with a straight face: "Someone entrusted me to hand it over to His Highness, Your Highness will take care of it yourself!" It's getting late, so it's not good to stay in the palace for the night, let's go! ”

Yu Wenchu took the envelope, glanced at the cover, and saw that nothing was written on it, so he opened it unhurriedly and saw that it was two pieces of paper, one with the glass method and the other with the fragrant pancreatic method. He had seen that word once, and it was written by Jiang Shanshan herself, so he quietly folded it back into the envelope, and didn't say much to Concubine Min, but said: "The Empress Dowager will issue an order to give Funing a marriage in the near future, and the concubine can prepare a dowry for her." If she is too busy, let people come to the house to summon Mingzhu, she can also stand alone now, and she has a very good set of trivial things, which can save the mother a lot of effort. ”

Seeing that he was not only worried and ashamed because of his mother's anger, Concubine Min actually raised Mingzhu's head like this, every sentence was a praise for Mingzhu, she was so angry that her liver hurt, and she wanted to throw a few hard words out of her disobedience, but she felt that it did not conform to her gentle and polite image, so she simply kept a straight face and said nothing.

Yu Wenchu put the envelope back on the table and said very kindly: "Erchen and Mingzhu have retired, and the concubine should rest early and don't work too hard." Then solemnly told Aunt Xia Yan and the others: "You must serve the concubine well, otherwise this king will not be able to spare you." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely serve the concubine." Aunt Xia Yan saw that he refused to take the envelope, and she was so anxious that she reminded her tactfully: "Your Highness forgot something." ”

Yu Wenchu glanced at her, his gaze was like substance, sharp as a blade. Aunt Xia Yan was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at him, so she quickly lowered her head and saluted him and Mingzhu, not daring to say a word more.

Only then did Yu Wenchu retract his gaze and motioned to Mingzhu: "Let's go." ”

When the two of them walked outside the palace gate, they heard the cry of Concubine Min from behind: "What kind of sin have I done to raise such an unfilial son." ”

Mingzhu was not mentioned, but Mingzhu knew that Concubine Min's dissatisfaction was all directed at her. The reason why she didn't mention her and scolded her was because she didn't dare to provoke the Empress Dowager, so all the charges were given to Yu Wenchu. She felt a little guilty, but told her to take a step back and agree with Concubine Min's point of view, listening to Concubine Min's words, she couldn't do anything.

She quietly looked at Yu Wenchu and saw that he was walking forward calmly and steadily, and the distance of each step seemed to have been measured with a ruler, and the rules were neat, and he was not affected by Concubine Min in the slightest. She crept over, reached into his wide cuffs, and gently took his hand.

Yu Wenchu noticed her small movements, and immediately gently wrapped her hand, his hand was warm and dry, very powerful, just the size to wrap her hand all over, Mingzhu felt very safe, warm and comfortable, and couldn't help but lean closer to him again, and said softly: "I am not a virtuous person." ”

Yu Wenchu curled the corners of his lips: "The virtuous I understand is not quite the same as the virtuous that others think. ”

Mingzhu was immediately at ease again, he didn't care, what did others care! She was very satisfied, and babbled with him: "I didn't contradict the concubine, I was very unhappy to hear what she said, but I didn't contradict her either, I kept listening." ”

But he didn't listen to it, and he kept being expressionless and unconvinced. Yu Wenchu had seen how Mingzhu treated her impatient but unprovoked people, so she could understand Concubine Min's mood - she finally became a mother-in-law, but when she met such an unreasonable daughter-in-law who ignored her and regarded her as the most tolerant, she was really aggrieved in her heart.

However, he thought that he had enough ability to manage the affairs of the back house, and he didn't need his biological mother to worry about it, so he praised Mingzhu as a matter of course: "Sure enough, he is very sensible, and it would be better if he didn't care about the old lady and didn't take it to heart." ”

Mingzhu cried angrily to Concubine Min, but he didn't say half a word about himself, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, so he said, "Don't care, don't care." How can anyone care about these things with their own old people? ”

Yu Wenchu was even more satisfied, and asked her in a low voice, "What reward do you want?" ”
