Chapter 218: Endure it
After Sanfujin left, Sifujin was a little embarrassed, and he didn't stay long and found an excuse to leave.
Seeing this, Qifujin forgot to glance around with some concern, and saw that Bafujin, Jiufujin and Shifujin had no reaction, so she breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and continued to eat.
After Sifujin returned to Prince Lian's mansion, he went to the fourth elder brother's study.
"Fujin!" The fourth elder brother looked up at Sifujin who entered the door, and then put down the book in his hand, "Didn't you go to the fifth brother's mansion?" How did you come back so soon. ”
"The fifth brother is very lively over there, don't look at it just for the side Fujin's birthday, several ministers Fujin not only gave side Fujin gifts, but also gave Chang Fujin gifts." Sifujin sat down next to the fourth elder brother, and then briefly said what he had just encountered in Prince Heng's mansion, after the fourth elder brother listened, he just frowned, and did not say anything else, Sifujin was suddenly a little lost, she thought that Prince Lian might not believe her.
After a long while, the fourth elder brother nodded naturally, but did not say anything.
Although Sifujin was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask anything.
After a while, the fourth elder brother spoke, "I know, you go down first." ”
"The concubine is retired." Sifujin stood up and saluted, then turned to leave.
The fourth elder brother looked at the back of Sifujin leaving, thoughtful. He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to wait and see in the court tomorrow before making a decision.
After the banquet in Prince Heng's mansion ended, several other Fu Jin people left one after another, and after a while, only the people in Prince Heng's mansion were left in the entire palace.
Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Su Xin was going to the backyard, Wanyue hurriedly stopped her: "Sister, you wait." ”
Su Xin stopped with some confusion and turned her head to look at Wanyue, "What does my sister command?" ”
Wanyue walked up to her, thinking of the three blessings who responded tonight, and glanced at the flat face on Su Xin's face, Wanyue said softly, "Don't take the gifts given to me by those officials Fujin today, I think the reason why they give gifts is also to hope that the prince can help the adults of their respective families in the court, I will go and tell the prince later, and return all the gifts they gave me to them early tomorrow morning." ”
"But." Su Xin hesitated, a little unsure of what to say, after all, those Fujin also gave her some gifts today, and she also took them.
But before she could say no, Wanyue interrupted her, "I guess you're worried about the gifts they gave you, right?" Since they have given it to you, you can take it well, today is your birthday, and it makes sense for them to give it to you. ”
"Okay. I listen to my sister. Su Xin looked at Wanyue in a daze, and then responded obediently.
After the two left from the main hall, Wanyue went to Yinqi's study, and Su Xin went back to her courtyard.
In the study, Yinqi was on the job, and when she saw Wanyue coming in, she stopped the pen in her hand and beckoned her to sit on the chair opposite the table.
"Hello Lord Wang, you stayed for a while on Su Xin's birthday and came back, didn't you see that the gifts given by those officials Fujin today are very valuable!" Wanyue's soft voice came into Yinqi's ears.
Yinqi put down the brush in his hand, looked at Wanyue, and smiled, "What did those people give you today?" ”
"It's all precious jewelry." Wanyue pursed her lips, thinking of the things sent by those Fujin, although they were all precious, she didn't lack these things, and she didn't want Yinqi to attract the slander of those officials because of these things.
Yinqi glanced at Wanyue and asked tentatively: "You accepted all those gifts?" ”
Wanyue shook her head, looked up at Yinqi, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, I don't lack those things, I plan to send someone to return those things to them tomorrow morning, mainly because I am afraid that Lord Wang, you will be impeached by the official because of this, although you have no intention of taking the throne, but you can't keep others thinking so, in case it stumbles on us." ”
Hearing his own Fujin's words, the corners of Yinqi's mouth couldn't help but pull, and his eyes when he looked at Wanyue were full of doting, this woman always thought about herself so thoroughly, which really moved him.
"There is a wife! What more could you ask for! Yinqi reached out and pulled Wanyue's palm, and then held her in his arms, "Yue'er, thank you for thinking about this for me, I am very relieved that you are in charge of the house!" ”
Wanyue's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this, "Lord Wang, don't say that, the two of us are husband and wife, and we should take care of each other!" ”
"Okay." Yinqi kissed Wanyue's forehead lightly, and her low and hoarse voice carried a hint of charm.
This night, Yinqi rested in Xinuan Pavilion.
Early the next morning.
Yinqi got up early, and after breakfast, he changed into a set of court clothes, and went straight to the Qianqing Palace.
After Wanyue woke up in the morning, she also thought about the gifts from last night, and hurriedly instructed Ying'er and Yuewen to pack up last night's gifts and send them back to each family separately, so as not to be gossiped about in Prince Heng's mansion.
As soon as the meeting was dismissed, the fourth elder brother learned from the third elder brother about the list of the adults who gave gifts to Wanyue yesterday, and he was not in a hurry to go back, but looked around at the ministers who had dispersed, hoping to find three or five ministers who gave gifts from the crowd and take a good look.
The fourth elder brother looked for a while, and then found a person from the crowd, this person's name is Xu De, he is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, about forty years old, tall and mighty, with a strong body, a face full of seriousness and fortitude, after seeing the fourth elder brother, he immediately bowed down respectfully and saluted, "Weichen Xu De has seen Prince Lian." ”
The fourth elder brother looked at this Xu Delin, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites is good at learning what to do with the prince.
"Lord Xu, don't be polite, please get up." The fourth elder brother smiled and helped Xu De up.
After Xu De got up, he stood in front of the fourth elder brother and glanced at the fourth elder brother respectfully, very puzzled in his heart.
The fourth elder brother looked at Xu De, and when he saw his strict and unsmiling appearance, he couldn't help but speak: "I wonder if Lord Xu can enjoy the light and accompany this king out of the palace today?" ”
When Xu De heard this, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Prince Lian invites him, so it is better for Weichen to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
"Lord Xu is polite, let's go out of the palace together, this king also happens to have something to ask Lord Xu?" The fourth elder brother opened his mouth with a smile, but Lord Xu was a little frightened in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of medicine this Prince Lian was selling in his heart.
Xu De followed the fourth elder brother all the way out of the palace, and he endured the anxiety in his heart.
All the way to the gate of the palace, they were almost at the place where the sedan chair was parked at the door, and the fourth elder brother asked: "I heard that Lord Xu's wife also went to Prince Heng's mansion yesterday?" ”
Xu De was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand why Prince Lian actually asked about it, but since he asked, he had no choice but to report it according to the truth: "Back to Prince Lian, Mrs. Weichen did go to Prince Heng's mansion, but she went to attend Prince Heng's birthday banquet." ”
After speaking, Lord Xu muttered in his heart, wouldn't Prince Lian not even know the birthday of Prince Heng's family? Could it be that Prince Lian Fujin didn't go to Prince Heng's mansion?
However, Lord Xu didn't have a chance to sort out the clues in his heart, so he heard Prince Lian chuckle lightly, and then saw Prince Lian raise his hand and pat Lord Xu's shoulder, and said seriously: "I'm afraid that the gift that Mrs. Lord gave to Prince Heng Fujin last night has been returned to your house." ”
After Lord Xu heard this, the whole person was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Prince Lian had already left the palace gate without knowing when.
