Chapter 5 Prime Minister Li Chenghai
The next day, early in the morning
When a ray of sunlight shines through the window lattice on the carved bed.
Nanxing opened his eyes worriedly, slightly blocked the dazzling light with his hand, lifted the brocade quilt and slowly got up.
"Miss Jinli, is Miss awake? The old slave brought red date soup, "There was a voice outside the door.
"You should wake up, Mama Li, please wait a minute, I'll take a look."
Jinli gently pushed open the door, watched Nanxing sit on the chair in front of the dresser, and greeted Mama Li with her hand.
"Miss Wan'an," Mama Li smiled as she placed the bowl on the table. "Madame's own hand-made jujube soup. Old slave remember your favorite drink of this, try it, "
"Are you Mama Li? My former housekeeper? β
"Yes, Miss still remembers the old slave?"
"Remember, I haven't seen you for ten years, you," looked at the old woman in front of her, with a rickety figure, gray hair, and an ordinary cotton shirt, and couldn't help but feel stunned.
In the memory of the third lady, Mama Li is very gentle, young and dignified. It's the grandmother who has been by her side since she was a child, and she treats her like her own child.
I haven't seen you for ten years, how can you be so old?
Raising his eyes slightly, he just wanted to ask her carefully.
I saw Mama Li kneeling on the ground with a 'poof', and said in a choked voice, "I heard that Miss was assassinated in Danxia Mountain last night, and the old slave was scared into a cold sweat!" To see Miss again this morning is God's mercy! In the future, the old slave will be allowed to die, and the old slave is willing! Old slave, ashamed of Miss, old slave, should go with Mama Liu,"
"Mama, get up quickly, I know that you feel sorry for me. You see, I'm not good, am I? Nanxing hurriedly motioned to Jinli, "In the future, you can serve me well." Jinli, help Mama up. β
"The old slave will serve you wholeheartedly,"
Nanxing smiled and sniffed the bowl of jujube soup, raised his head and drank it.
"Mama Li, you should step back first! Jinli, help me get dressed,"
"Yes, Miss!"
Jinli combed Nanxing's most popular bun in Zhaocheng.
slightly touched up her makeup, wore a blue gown skirt, and a white silk cape on the outside.
She is already white and beautiful, so dressed up, she is even more glamorous and dazzling!
Especially those big eyes, the light flashed.
"Miss, you are so beautiful! When you were a child, the slave knew that you were a great beauty. Jinli couldn't help but sigh.
Nanxing also looked at himself in the bronze mirror and was very satisfied.
'It is true that people rely on clothes, and Buddhas rely on gold! This official lady is dressed like a young lady, and even I can't recognize it! β
"Go and get the purple carrot, I'm going to leave the house,"
"Okay!"
As soon as Jinli turned around, Jinqing's voice came from outside the door,
"Is Miss Star here? Slave maid Jinqing, the old lady asked the young lady to go to Qingxi Hall, saying that there was a distinguished guest to see! β
"Miss is here, Sister Jinqing, come in with me." Jinli hurriedly opened the curtain of the boudoir.
"Miss Hui, Prime Minister Li Cheng came to visit, the old lady asked you to come over," Jin Qing hurriedly saluted back.
"Prime Minister Li?" Nanxing secretly thought to himself, and there was no impression of this person in his mind. "I don't know, I don't see, I don't see,"
"Miss Xing, Prime Minister Li Cheng is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and I specially want to see you. The slave and maid did not dare,"
Seeing Jinqing's anxious and frightened look, she got up and asked, "What does this Prime Minister Li have to do with us?" I just got home last night, how will I know about me? β
"The slave doesn't know, the old lady only sent the slave and the maid to invite you."
"Well, since my grandmother sent someone to invite me, it's not good for me not to give face. Jinqing, lead the way ahead," she got up and instructed Jinli, "Let Ziluo come to Qingxi Hall to find me."
Qingxi Hall, quiet and elegant.
The yard is full of bonsai of all kinds of green cypress and green pines, all of which have different shapes, and they are full of vitality!
When Jinqing led Nanxing in, Li Chenghai in the front hall was giving tea to the old lady.
"Yesterday was the old lady's birthday, and Cheng Hai was playing chess with the saint in the palace. Early this morning, I came to visit with a birthday gift! I also hope that the old lady will have a lot of spare Chenghai. Cheng Hai replaces tea with wine to make amends to you, "
"What did the prime minister say? You are still thinking about the birthday of the old body in your busy schedule, and the old body is deeply honored! How can there be any atonement? The Prime Minister is serious! The old lady replied with a shallow smile.
Nanxing stood at the door and looked at the prime minister in the front hall.
The body is slightly chubby, the face is like Fu powder, a pair of thin eyes are half-squinted and half-closed, the nose is like an eagle's hook, and the mouth is thin and the lips are thin. Dressed in a brocade robe with a red Fu character pattern on a crimson satin background, and a short knife with a red velvet and gold jade handle around his waist.
Sitting on the chair, there is both a sense of contempt and a hint of forbearance.
"Back to the old lady, Miss Xing is here." Jin Qing gave a gift in return.
"Let her in."
Without waiting for Jinqing to turn around, Nanxing strode into the hall, "Grandmother, what's the matter with Nanxing?" β
"You kid, you really don't have rules. I haven't seen any distinguished guests visiting, and haven't you seen the Prime Minister? Old Madam Rong motioned to Nanxing.
"You are Li Chenghai, the prime minister of Zhaoguo? I heard that he is the most important person in the Holy Being? Glancing at him, she sat in her chair. This girl doesn't know you at all, I don't know what you're looking for me? β
"This kid is getting more and more unruly!" Master Rong hurriedly got up with a smiling face, "The little girl is rude and willful, bold and reckless, and I hope that the prime minister will not blame,"
"It doesn't matter! He is not a person with a small amount of energy, and he can still care about a child? Li Chenghai smiled faintly, "Last night, I heard in the palace that the third lady was superb in the piano, and she was able to play with Xiao Yugongzi!" It's a pity that I couldn't hear the sound of the piano with my own ears, and I deeply regret it! So, I want to meet Miss today. Miss is really different! β
"This girl is just wishing her grandmother her birthday on a whim. That Xiao Yu Gongzi is proficient in music and rhythm, and the sound of Xiao is like a heavenly sound, Nanxing sighed to herself, "She drank tea without care."
"I heard that Miss has been cultivating alone in Danxia Mountain for ten years, and her temperament and mind are really admirable! This prime minister has proposed to the Holy Lord to give the young lady a marriage, so as to make up for the loneliness and hardship of the young lady in the past ten years! β
"What?" When Nanxing heard this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up from his chair. looked at Li Chenghai with a cold face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his uninhibited words were clear in his ears.
"Adults do things like this, but they are really my new parents! However, adults don't seem to know my temperament! This girl is not a puppet to be manipulated! Ten years ago, I did everything but kill! Ten years from now, you won't blink an eye when you kill. If you really do something that hurts the face of adults, please don't blame them! β
Her words were contemptuous and ruthless!
Not afraid of Li Chenghai's power and status at all! Not to mention the situation and safety of Rongfu!
Seeing that they were stunned and silent, she sneered and looked up and shouted,
"Really, my good mood was ruined by the Prime Minister's jokes! Ziluo, let's go to the street and relax."
"Yes, Miss"
"Xing'er? You," Seeing that she was about to leave, Mrs. Rong didn't know what to say for a while!
"Stop, are there any rules?" Old Madam Rong's voice was calm and powerful, "Sit down!" Listen carefully, "
Looking at her grandmother's gloomy expression and seeing a smug smile on Li Chenghai's face, she knew that what Li Chenghai said was true! If it is a marriage granted by the Holy God, the Rong family cannot be disobeyed! So it's just that, okay, let's hear what he has to say?
Staring at Li Chenghai, she turned around and sat on the nearby chair and crossed her legs.
Old Madam Rong glanced at her and looked back at Li Chenghai, who was drinking tea with his head down, "Prime Minister, Xing'er has been stubborn since she was a child, and she has been cultivating in Danxia Mountain for ten years, but she has not been able to change her temperament!" It really responds to the phrase 'the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change'! β
"Mother said very much! Xing'er has a bad reputation since she was a child, and she often fights on the street, and burns the house when she is unhappy. Lu Bohou's backyard was burned by her back then, and the harmful Lu Gongzi is still afraid of fire, and this matter is in an uproar. The official eunuch family in Zhaocheng has a lot of dissatisfaction and objections to her, naturally her marriage, the lower officials can only go with the flow," Master Rong said along with the old lady's words.
"Regarding the rumors of the third lady, Benxiang has heard some of them. It's all children's naughty and naughty, it's nothing. The young lady has been cultivating in Danxia Mountain for ten years, and her temperament must have been much more restrained. This prime minister has proposed to the Holy Lord to give the third lady to King Ning as the concubine! As the saying goes, it is better to settle a grievance than to settle it! The third lady still has a good fate with King Ning," Li Chenghai waved his hand and looked at Nanxing with a smile in his eyes.
As soon as he said this, Nanxing's face changed, and he was about to open his mouth to speak.
"Xing'er has just come back, and the old body has not taken her to ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to make amends. King Ning is a royal family, and it is the treasure in the heart of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. The old body can't ask for it, but Xing'er is stubborn, the eldest princess feels sorry for King Ning, I'm afraid she won't agree easily," the old lady quickly glared at her, and continued to speak slowly, "If she can get the Holy Lord's marriage, it is her creation to be able to marry King Ning, and it is her creation to be able to get the eldest princess's training!" We're kind of worthy of her."
"The old lady said very much!" The smile on Li Chenghai's face looked very frank, "The matter back then was also because of King Ning, the eldest princess made this decision. King Naning, although he is not in good health and has a strange personality, does not go out of the house all day. But it's royalty after all. Miss Rong San married a concubine in the past, and then gave birth to an heir, and she will enjoy endless glory and wealth for the rest of her life! But I really think about the third ladyγ"
"Nanxing thanks Master Li for his care. His Royal Highness King Ning is so good, why don't you ask your own sister to marry?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Chenghai laughed 'haha',
"Haha, the third lady has a frank temperament, is quick to talk, and is really different! I'm getting more and more fond of this little girl."
"Your Excellency has won the prize. Xing'er disobeys discipline and is lawless. The lower official is afraid that it will obstruct your eyes, so she will let her," Master Rong hurriedly saluted.
Before he could finish speaking, Nanxing's eyes flashed, and he got up with a smile,
"Since the adults are so gracious, this girl can't shirk it. It's better to ask His Royal Highness King Ning to come over and let this girl look at each other. If he is good-looking and a golden bachelor, it is not impossible? If he's an ugly person, don't blame this girl for using extraordinary means! β
"It's getting more and more nonsense! How could King Naning leave the house for such a thing," Master Rong glared at Nanxing.
"The Holy One has agreed. The decree of the marriage will soon be delivered to the house. At that time, the third lady will know what kind of person King Ning is? There are still some things in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I will leave first. Li Chenghai no longer paid attention to Nanxing, brushed his shirt twice, and got up to say goodbye.
Nanxing stopped him all of a sudden, with a sneer on his face, "It's unreasonable for adults to do things well. If you don't put Rong Fu in your eyes, you don't even put the eldest princess and Her Royal Highness King Ning in your eyes! After all, this girl has a bad reputation and bad deeds, if she really becomes the princess of King Ning, it will damage the royal reputation! Adults have not thought about the gains and losses after this incident. Or is it that the adults are in a high position and have won the trust of the saints, so they have no one in their eyes and put their beaks in the royal family? β
The words were straightforward, and Li Chenghai was stunned on the spot.
The people in the Rong Mansion were also taken aback!
"The decree of marriage will come soon, and the holy mind and the royal family will not dare to put their beaks. Miss should do what she is told! After a while, his eyes were slightly open, his eyes were gloomy, and his face was not good.
Nanxing pretended to be helpless and innocent, "Since the adult is so persistent, this girl has nothing to say." Ziluo, go, go to King Ning's mansion, and report to His Highness. By the way, this is the kindness of the Prime Minister, and you must not live up to it. β
She ignored the crowd, turned and walked out.
