Chapter 1159: Famine, Natural Disasters 316
General Huaihua's anxious back broke out with sweat.
General Huaihua's wife is weak in heart and weak under the gaze of everyone; It's one thing to say it at home, but it's another thing to be betrayed by a handmaid after coming out, and even to be seen by others.
"Puff ......."
"Please calm the anger of the princess, my mother has always been gentle and charitable, and she is not dissatisfied with Cheng Xiaoniang; It's all the maidservants' speculation, their suspicion of Cheng Xiaoniang, and their jealousy, so they made trouble about today's incident, please let the princess know about it."
The daughter of the general's wife, who was ten years old, knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Mingyi has a little more appreciation for this little girl, and can defend her mother at the risk of disapproval; The little body is straight and straight, and you can see a bit of bearing when you kneel, but you can't see that there is a mother like that.
Not only did Mingyi think so, but the ladies present also had a little more affection for the little girl; Of course, there is a mother who has a bad impression in front of him, and there is not much good feeling.
Princess Zhou smiled, "The little lady of the general's family, please, this matter has nothing to do with you; The people around your mother first offended the nobles in the palace, and then the wicked people sued first, and everyone knows what their intentions were. But, for the sake of your mother, there should be a truth, don't you think?"
The daughter of the general's family bowed deeply, "It is the mother's words and deeds that are inappropriate, and the courtiers are willing to accept the punishment on behalf of the mother."
"It's a filial child." Princess Zhou said a word, looked at the general's wife, who was already sweating lightly on her face, and smiled, "Huaihua's general's wife, can you agree with your family's daughter's words?"
"The princess is the minister's inappropriate behavior, and the minister asks the princess to give punishment."
The husband and daughter have pleaded guilty, which shows that they know a lot about the character of this person in the family.
"That's it." It's boring to talk about it, everyone knows what they know, Princess Zhou smiled at Mingyi, "Cheng Xiaoniang is the party, what do you think?"
"The little girl lives in the palace, thanks to the princess, the prince and the teacher; The general's wife is disrespectful to the princess first, and it is really painful."
"Good boy, this princess knows your heart; In this case, this matter will be handed over to the general, and let's continue the banquet, and everyone will eat and play as they should, and be more comfortable." Princess Zhou didn't say how to punish her, everyone knew that Princess Zhou didn't like General Huaihua's wife.
This lady of the General's Mansion can be regarded as completely offending Princess Zhou.
Now General Huaihua, who is a confidant, knows that the northwest is in the hands of the prince of Zhou; Offending Princess Zhou is equivalent to offending the prince of Zhou, and at this moment I regret that I have indulged her pettiness in the past. It was not easy to pity her as a step-room, and she was more than ten years younger than him, and she was used to it on weekdays, but she was used to her temperament.
"The last general will obey the princess's orders."
"Okay, let's have fun, don't let this distract you."
As soon as Princess Zhou spoke, all the ladies echoed.
"The courtiers listen to the princess, the courtiers don't leave if they don't have fun, do you want to be together?"
"If you want it, it's not easy to come out and have a good time, since you come, where is there a reason to go back disappointed."
"I have a new way of playing here, which is said to have come from Kyoto; Called the drum to pass the flowers, the person who was passed on made the flying flower order, and it had to be connected with the last word of the previous sentence, sisters, do you want to give it a try?"
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl happily followed her mother to stand up and reconcile the atmosphere.
Mingyi looked at Princess Zhou and had a deeper understanding of Princess Zhou's royal ability; Princess Zhou didn't seem to punish the general's wife, however, this time the general's wife must have a bad time going back. This is more heart-wrenching than Princess Zhou's personal punishment, which is the punishment given by her beloved husband.
The atmosphere was brought up again, but the wife of the general Huaihua gritted her teeth and reluctantly bowed her head and remained silent.
On the contrary, the second daughter of General Huaihua has to appease her mother on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has to deal with the eyes that look at the past from time to time, and she looks like a person who is filial and a little scheming, at least a person with brains and stability.
"Mingyi, don't think about it, this matter has nothing to do with you; Let's play with them, let the little girl of the Yuan family take you to play, it's good to get acquainted with it." The princess finished with a smile.
The people who were discussing how to play below suddenly looked over, this little lady Cheng was not special except for being good-looking and smarter; It doesn't matter if the prince of Zhou is favored, why is the princess still very close to her.
The named girl stepped forward with a smile and saluted Princess Zhou, "The courtiers will obey the princess's orders and take good care of the Cheng family's sister."
"You're a good boy, go play." Princess Zhou chuckled and sent them away.
Mingyi was also dragged away by the little lady of the Yuan family, and those who stayed behind were all noble ladies, and it was not appropriate for them to follow the little ladies; Not being able to play with them will make them feel uncomfortable, and if so, there is no need to play together.
Moreover, a married woman is not the same as an unmarried woman; The topic of conversation is also different, and I have to be busy with lady diplomacy.
Walking into the courtyard, the lady of the Yuan family said with a smile.
"Sister Cheng, my father's Northwest Mansion City is guarded, my surname is Yuan, Yuan Youniang; When I was apprenticing, I heard Master Brahman call you by your name, but I wonder if my sister might call you by your name?" Yuan Youniang has a slender posture, a delicate face, and is gentle and kind in her speech and deeds.
Mingyi can feel the kindness she released, the Northwest Garrison is a five-grade military general, and she is also the daughter of a real official eunuch.
"Sister Yuan is whatever you want."
"Okay, my sister called you Mingyi." Yuan Youniang pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's go, let's play the flower drum, this kind of play is fashionable at the moment; The person who got the cloth flower wants to come with a flying flower order, I don't know what books my sister has read? Have you ever seen the Flying Flower Order?"
Mingyi has seen it, but she doesn't like to talk about poetry all the time; She has never written poetry either, however, she is still too young to be sure whether she will or not.
Therefore, she shook her head lightly.
Yuan Youniang regretted for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, let the sisters play, Sister Mingyi has lived in the palace for a while, why don't you take your sister to the garden, and our sisters will talk."
"It's okay, Sister Yuan, please."
Mingyi smiled brightly, and her eyes swept over the group of girls who had already ordered someone to bring cloth flowers and drums; Their attention was on the new way to play, and no one noticed them. It was convenient for them to sneak out of the courtyard on this side of the front yard.
Taking Yuan Youniang to the small garden near Tao Yiyuan, Yuan Youniang looked at the surrounding scenery and knew that this place was not very far from the front yard, but it was definitely not something that ordinary people could come in.
"Sister Mingyi, I don't know where this is?"
"This is another small garden in the front yard, and only the master watches here on weekdays."
Yuan Youniang was slightly surprised, "Then I'....... It's not appropriate for me to come here, Sister Mingyi, let's find another place to play."
As he spoke, he was about to leave, and he couldn't help but be secretly glad in his heart, but fortunately he asked cautiously.
