Chapter 41: The Prince
After seeing the excitement, Gu Man returned to the Hou Mansion.
It's just that there is a very luxurious and magnificent luxury carriage parked in front of the Hou Mansion.
Who's coming?
Gu Man hurriedly ran to the door and asked the guards at the door.
The guard replied respectfully: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and Princess Tingli!" ”
Ha?
Tingli grounded so soon to come out?
And the prince?
The crown prince was also born to the queen and the emperor, and the emperor and the queen were very affectionate and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.
It is written in the book: The crown prince Xiao Jinyi is not only handsome and extraordinary, but even Wen Taowu is excellent. The only drawback is that since he was canonized as the crown prince, he has not had any military achievements, and many ministers are not convinced.
The emperor has high hopes for the crown prince, so the emperor will always send the prince to the frontier to comfort the soldiers stationed on the frontier and let the prince know the difficulties of the common people.
The ancestor emperor was born in poverty, and won the battle with his martial arts and strategy, and ascended the throne as emperor. As a result, we have a better understanding of how the truly poor live and what they need. Therefore, he made a rule that all the descendants who inherited the great unification must go deep into the lives of the people and experience the difficulties of the people in order to be worthy of the throne he left behind.
Now the prince knows about the people's suffering, but he is still short of a battle that can prove himself.
However, the battle half a year later was led by the crown prince.
The battle lasted two months, and was finally won. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has military merits, finally ascended to the throne smoothly. The crown prince is a Ming monarch, because he knows what the people need, so he issued a decree soon after he ascended the throne, ordering the people to reduce taxes for three years, the world is so big, the people all praise him as a good emperor.
The book also says that the crown prince was sent by the emperor to the frontier to comfort the soldiers, where he ate and lived with the soldiers, and returned to Kyoto for half a year, just after the imperial examination.
It's just that why did he come to the Hou Mansion?
Gu Man hurriedly ran back to his yard from the path, if Tingli came, he must be going to see her, Cheng Mo should be back, right? I just hope that no one finds out that they have sneaked out.
After Gu Man returned to the courtyard, he saw Ji Moyan's maid Lan'er wandering anxiously in the courtyard.
After seeing Gu Man, as if he had seen a savior, he said excitedly: "Big lady, are you back?" You and Master Hou are not in the house, and the slaves and maids are going to die in a hurry! ”
Hou Ye is not here either?
Hou Ye should be back at this time, so he asked Lan'er.
Lan'er said she didn't know.
Gu Man asked Qing'er to change her clothes, while listening to Lan'er: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and Princess Tingli suddenly visited, the little lady has never seen such a big person, and she is holding on at the moment, the slave and maid sent someone to find you and the Hou Ye, and it can be regarded as finding you back!" ”
Did you send someone to look for her? She doesn't know! It is estimated that there are too many people on the street and I missed it.
After getting dressed, Qing'er and Lan'er quickly combed Gu Man's hair in a bun, put on a simple makeup, and pulled Gu Man to hurry to the living room.
It's just that it just so happened that I met Cheng Mo, who didn't even come to change his court clothes.
Unlike Gu Man, Cheng Mo's face was very calm, and he seemed to be very clear about the intention of the prince and the others.
So, the two of you, you look at me, I look at you.
In the end, as if they had discussed, they entered the living room together.
In the living room, Ji Moyan tried to maintain her composure, greeting the princes and princesses, especially Princess Tingli, when she saw her, she would remember the bitter cold and desperate feeling when she was pushed into the pond that day, and her body was full of coldness.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't look very serious, but he is very gentle, but he doesn't talk much, but the second prince, he is very elegant and easy-going, and talking to him is like a spring breeze.
seemed to feel Ji Moyan's nervousness, and the second prince Xiao Jinwen kept chatting with Ji Moyan about topics, for example, who did Ji Moyan's medical skills learn from? What kind of patients did she treat?
Sure enough, when it came to his profession, Ji Moyan gushed endlessly, and the tension in his heart was evacuated a lot.
Ji Moyan wanted to thank Xiao Jinwen and thank him for saving his life. But the culprit is next to her at the moment, and it is inconvenient for her to mention it, otherwise the scene will be too embarrassing.
When he saw Cheng Mo and Gu Man coming in, Ji Moyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had a backbone.
Gu Man and Cheng Mo walked in.
Gu Man saluted the two princes and princesses first, but Cheng Mo was motionless.
However, no one seems to care about Cheng Mo's rudeness.
Princess Tingli took the lead and happily rushed to Gu Man's side and gave her a big hug, "I miss you to death!" ”
Gu Man smiled and replied, "I miss you too." ”
Didn't Princess Tingli be punished and confined for three months? Why has it only been a month or so now?
The people on the side quickly gave the answer,
Cheng Mo looked at the crown prince Xiao Jinyi with displeasure in his eyes, and said sarcastically: "His Royal Highness the prince is really upright, and he is not partial at all!" ”
Xiao Jinyi naturally knew what Cheng Mo was sarcastic about, but he couldn't help it, on the one hand, he was his most beloved sister, and on the other hand, he was the heartbroken queen mother, he could only go out for half a year and endure hardships for half a year to seek his father's distress, so that his father could see that he had suffered a lot in the past half a year.
Although he didn't think it was painful to go to the frontier for half a year.
His Majesty the Emperor felt sorry for both his son and his daughter, so he agreed.
Today, when the next dynasty came back late, it was the emperor's general Cheng Mo who stayed behind to tell him about it.
Xiao Jinyi said to Cheng Mo: "I brought Tingli here today to ask Tingli to come and apologize to your new wife in person." ”
With that, he glanced at Tingli.
Tingli immediately understood, walked to Ji Moyan's side, and said with a sincere and serious face: "Mrs. Ji, it was Tingli's fault that day, I shouldn't have played and bullied you, and let people push you into the pond, I'm really sorry, I said it that day, my father, mother and brothers have also taught me a lesson, my father was supposed to lock me up for three months, but my mother has been in poor health recently, so my father released me." Forgive me! ”
Listening to Tingli's apology, Gu Man's heart warmed, at this time, Tingli didn't forget to say good things for her.
Sure enough, Ji Moyan's eyes when he looked at Gu Man were also full of gratitude.
Seeing Tingli's sincere apology, Ji Moyan was soft-hearted and said busily: "The princess doesn't have to be like this, I don't have anything to do, don't blame the princess!" ”
Tingli laughed, "Thank you!" ”
Gu Man also breathed a sigh of relief, they came to the Hou Mansion to apologize.
Xiao Jinyi looked at Cheng Mo, whose face was still not very good, and continued: "We know that it is insincere to just apologize, so my father gave me and my second brother a day off today, and we want to take you and your new wife and cousin to the autumn outing!" I wonder if Zimo is willing to give me face? ”
Xiao Jinyi lowered his identity to Cheng Mo, and as I claim to be, I can be regarded as sincere.
Cheng Mo is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, the matter has come to this point, the emperor has spoken, no matter how dissatisfied he is, it will not help. Thinking that Ji Moyan hadn't walked out of the Hou Mansion for a long time, and he didn't have time to go out with her every day because of his busy schedule, he agreed.
After Gu Man heard that he was going to go on an autumn trip, he was very excited.
It's great to finally be able to get out of here and feel the scenery outside!
