Chapter 131: Will You Take a Concubine?
"These medicinal herbs will be sent to the barracks in your name, princess."
Ming Lanying pointed at herself, "Why in my name?" Wouldn't it be nice in the name of the palace? ”
Mama Cai knew what Zhao Lao meant, "Zhao Lao means that he wants to make a good reputation for you, and now the reputation of Princess Yanbei outside is mixed, but the prince is the most popular, and it is not too beneficial to you, princess." ”
Wang Yuying on the side also said indignantly: "Recently, the palace has received a lot of greeting stickers from the wives of large families, and I want to invite the princess to drink tea together. The slaves and maids knew that the princess did not like to associate with these people, so they all declined. ”
"There are a lot of people around the palace, all of them are wandering around the palace with girls who have not left the palace, all calculating the position of the prince's concubine, the intention is too obvious!"
After Ye Jielu became the king of Yanbei, there were gradually more unclear eyeliner around the Yanbei Palace, and the subordinates and maids in the palace also received bribes from some outsiders one after another, wanting to buy the whereabouts of the prince and the princess.
The servant and the maid accepted a bribe but would not give the real news, and on the one hand, they posted false news, and on the other hand, they reported it to the two stewards.
Mama Cai also heard about it, "The prince is in the prime of life, he has appearance and identity, and there is only the princess by his side, it is inevitable that someone will be tempted, and the princess should be cautious." ”
The people in the mansion all know that the prince and the princess have a deep relationship, and they can't tolerate other people in their eyes, the prince is a soft-eared wife in the mansion, and the Yanbei palace is actually the Yanbei princess's mansion.
The princess loves to watch beauties to pass the time, and some of the more delicate-looking maids in the courtyard were picked out by the prince and replaced in other courtyards, so that the princess could only look at him.
The maids also complained in private about the prince's jealous thoughts.
Ming Lanying was dumbfounded, she really didn't know these things, and she didn't know for a while whether to complain that a man was too good-looking was also a disaster, or whether she should be happy that her object was popular.
"I've never seen him so popular before......"
Zhao Lao glared at her helplessly, "Before it was, now it is now, you were still like strangers before, and now you don't look like a decent person, now your identities are different, even the prince's concubine is half a master, and everyone wants to become a master." ”
Mama Cai nodded, she is a person who has come over, she has seen more people than she has eaten salt, she understands what the women who are wandering in the palace think, and she also knows very well what kind of virtue men are.
"The prince is now like a piece of fragrant bread, everyone wants to taste it, after all, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and you cannot always have only one mistress in the backyard of the palace, the princess must be prepared, rather than letting unknown people take advantage of the loopholes at that time, it is better to take people in their own hands from the beginning, so that they can see clearly, the prince's concubine is not something that everyone can do."
What Mama Cai said was the truth, but Ming Lanying still slowly wrung her eyebrows when she heard this, and asked her to serve a husband with other women? She's dirty.
It's impossible in two lifetimes, she's not so generous, a person has a heart, and the people in the rest of her life, whether they are people or hearts, must be complete towards her, and if they are divided into two halves, they are not complete people.
"What if I don't? There can only be one mistress in the palace. ”
Ming Lanying's tone was firm, and Mama Cai was stunned, but she was a little regretful, "Princess, it's impossible, the slave maid has seen so many people, and no man wants to have only one woman by his side." ”
Ming Lanying raised her chin proudly, "If Ye Jielu wants to take a concubine, then I have no opinion, this princess should be given to others, I can not stay in this palace, and he is leaving." ”
She is still only at the stage of falling in love with Ye Juelu, and she has not yet reached the point where she can't do without him, if the man she fancies has the heart of three wives and four concubines, she doesn't blame him, because the rules of this world are customized by their men, only blame herself for being blind, sober up and break off the relationship as soon as possible.
Half of the income in the palace is earned by her, she is not willing to make money to raise other women for him, she has the ability to make money, and she can support herself.
Mama Cai had nothing to say, because Ming Lanying's idea seemed to her to be very rash and immature.
In her opinion, every woman wants to have a loyal husband, but the reality is always disillusioned, maybe the relationship between the husband and wife is very good at the beginning, but after a long time, no matter how loving and beautiful the relationship will be.
Wang Yuying couldn't say anything, "Princess, do you want to deal with those people outside the palace?" ”
Ming Lanying propped her chin and glanced at the packaged medicinal herbs, "Ask the prince to go." ”
Wang Yuying was stunned for a moment, and didn't react to what she meant for a while, Mama Cai pulled her, "Go and prepare the car, the princess is going to find the prince." ”
"Yes!"
Seeing that it was okay, Zhao Lao walked back to the courtyard slowly on crutches.
Ming Lanying got up and prepared to go out, and Ning Er and the wolf cub happened to come from the martial arts training ground.
"Mother!"
"Whew! Master! ”
Ming Lanying rubbed her head with one hand, "It's just here, does Ning'er want to be daddy?" ”
Ning Er nodded vigorously, "Yes!" ”
"Alright, let's go find him."
"Okay!"
Ning'er trotted back to the yard with the wolf cub, and the little black panther on Minglanying's shoulder shook her tail and rubbed her cheek coquettishly.
Ming Lanying raised her hand and rubbed it, "Take you with me." ”
Wang Yuying quickly prepared the carriage and two days of eating water on the road, called four big maids to accompany her, and ordered twenty guards to follow.
Mama Cai followed her every step of the way, so she naturally went together, Wang Yuying was the backyard steward, and she couldn't leave the palace at will, so she didn't follow.
The carriage swayed out of the palace, Ning Er and the wolf cub lay beside her, Ming Lanying lifted a corner curtain to look outside, and saw that there were indeed more beautiful girls than usual wandering near the palace.
Some pretended to pass by, and some deliberately let their subordinates squat.
Ming Lanying had a strange expression in her eyes, and Mama Cai saw it in her eyes, "In the bitter cold land, there are not many rich and noble families with prominent family backgrounds, and it is difficult to find a king of Yanbei trusted by the emperor, even if this king of Yanbei is seventy or eighty years old, there are many girls from good families who are in a hurry to be sent to be concubines, with the blessing of the palace, and then rack their brains to give birth to a man and a woman, and they and their mother's family will have no worries for the rest of their lives." ”
Ming Lanying pursed her lips and lowered the curtain, Ning Er raised her eyes to look at Mama Cai, and said firmly: "Daddy only likes mothers, there will be no concubines, and Ning Er doesn't like other women to be aunts." ”
Mama Cai was stunned, but she didn't expect Ning'er to be a big person, but she was very clever and knew what she was talking about.
"The little boy is still young, I don't know the helplessness here."
"Ning'er is already a big child, so she is not a child who doesn't understand anything, of course she knows what Mama Cai is talking about! Saying that those who are helpless are all excuses, Brother Shan Zhao said that if he can't protect the person he likes, he will find all kinds of excuses, and a real man will not let the person he likes be wronged! ”
Ming Lanying rubbed his head, grabbed one of his cheeks and asked, "What did Shan Zhao teach you this?" How do you know what concubines and aunts mean? ”
Ning Er smiled, "Aunt Hebai and Brother Shan Zhao have long guessed that after returning to the side plug, someone will want to rob my father from my mother, let me be optimistic about my father!" Ning'er is stupid, of course she knows! ”
Ming Lanying tugged at his cheek and rubbed it helplessly, Ning'er was still a child in her opinion, but it was normal in this world where children were generally precocious.
Sometimes I feel helpless about Ning'er's excessive cleverness and intelligence.
The wolf cub lay at Ning'er's feet and howled twice, "The master praises me, our wolf clan will not have three wives and four concubines!" ”
Minglan Ying is happy, even the wolf cub knows what three wives and four concubines are.
Ning'er hugged Ming Lanying's arm and said innocently: "Don't worry, my mother, my father only likes my mother's, and Ning'er won't let my father find a concubine, if my father insists on finding it, then Ning'er will take my mother to start a new door!" ”
Mama Cai was startled, and hurriedly covered his mouth, "Little boy, you can't just talk nonsense!" The prince is good, where do you need to start a new door, it's not good for people to hear! ”
Ning Er blinked her eyes, but Ming Lanying happily kissed him on the forehead, "It's worthy of my precious son!" ”
Mama Cai was speechless, this was the most innocent princess she had ever bred.
From the palace to the border barracks, a three-day journey on a fast horse, Ming Lanying was guarded by five secret guards, so he sent two secret guards to keep an eye on the medicinal materials all the way.
When they arrived at the barracks ten miles away, the group did not hear the sound of fighting, and Ming Lanying did not go in again, but asked the secret guard to quietly pass the message.
It didn't take long for Ye Jielu to come over with a team of guards, and from a distance, he saw the carriage of Ming Lanying and several people in the shade of the tree, and the carriage was holding Ning Er's hand, and Ming Lanying was standing there in a refreshed mood.
The plain gauze skirt fluttered in the wind, the palm-sized belt tied the slender waist, the bright face was smiling, and the sunlight was faintly sprinkled on her through the gaps between the leaves, falling into her eyes.
Starry eyes and bright teeth, clear eyebrows, what attracts him more is her soul.
This is his wife.
Ye Jielu clamped the horse's buttocks and accelerated over, the horse stopped ten steps in front of Ming Lanying and did not stop, Ye Jielu jumped off the horse directly and strode over, hugging the person who had missed him for many days.
Bent over the side of her neck, sniffing the familiar fragrance before relaxing.
"The medicinal herbs were sent by someone, why did you come here too? Come and see me? ”
There were still people around, and Ming Lanying couldn't help blushing, raised her hand and patted the excited person, "Yes, yes, let go first, look at it......"
Ye Jielu hugged enough, let go of her according to his words, raised his eyes and swept around the people who were curious to watch the excitement.
The people watching the play around immediately staggered their eyes, looking up at the sky, looking at the wind, and moving medicinal materials.
Ye Jielu turned his head to look at Ming Lanying, "No one is looking, I'll hold it for a while." ”
"Daddy, daddy, Ning'er misses you too!"
Ming Lanying looked down at Ning Er beside her, Ning Er blinked her big eyes, fluttering.
Ye Juelu: "......"
Ye Jielu responded perfunctorily to his son's missing, pinched Ning'er's little face with his big hand, turned to the side to look at the tree trunk, and held Ming Lanying confidently, "What's wrong with my lady when I hold it for a while!" ”
Ming Lanying helplessly held her forehead and opened her hands, "Okay, okay, give you a hug." ”
Ye Juelu deservedly hugged him, "I haven't seen you for a day, if I haven't seen my wife for more than half a month, if I don't see my wife every other autumn." ”
Ming Lanying patted the big man with grievances in her tone soothingly.
"How's the war going? Is it difficult to get on the other side? ”
Ye Jielu whispered in her ear: "It's very easy, the general on the other side doesn't want to fight, it's just a show." ”
Ming Lanying was surprised, "Really? Soldiers on the battlefield are not tired of deceit, and they cannot underestimate the enemy. ”
"Hmm."
The two hugged each other for a while, Ming Lanying couldn't stand the heat on his body, so she pushed him away first, "I have something to ask you, answer truthfully." ”
Ye Jielu didn't let go when he was pushed away, he took her hand and kneaded it, "Words are endless." ”
Ming Lanying said: "Do you want to take a concubine?" ”
Mama Cai, who was listening to the corner of the wall, was shocked, and her heart was anxious, my princess! Not so straightforward! To put it mildly!
Ye Jielu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "No, why do you ask this?" ”
Ming Lanying looked at him fixedly, "Really don't need it?" ”
Ye Jielu pursed his lips and was a little dissatisfied, and clasped her hand a little hard, "It's enough to have a lady, everyone else is redundant." ”
Ming Lanying glanced him up and down, "But other men are all three wives and four concubines, are you sure you won't go along with them?" ”
Ming Lanying's words were not only tempting, but also instigating, Ye Jielu was keenly aware of her bad taste.
Ye Jielu decisively bit her on the face, "Three wives and four concubines are not very good, don't block me, lady, my heart is not big, I can only pretend to be a lady." ”
Ming Lanying's face turned red without changing color, and she raised her hand to wipe her face, "I believe you for the time being, remember your words today, if you dare to take a concubine with me in the future, don't blame me for being rude, let out all the cubs to bite you!" ”
Ye Jielu smiled lowly, "Understood." ”
Ming Lanying cleared her throat, "But many people want to stuff people in, the palace is full of eyeliner to inquire about your news, it's weird and annoying, this matter has to be resolved." ”
Ye Juelu's eyes lit up, "I'll let people deal with it." ”
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "You want to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys?" ”
Ye Jielu nodded, he was too lazy to deal with these people, so he simply set an example for the monkeys, and if he caught one and dealt with it, the others would also settle down.
Ming Lanying sighed, "Then leave it to me, Hebai and Shan Zhao are busy arresting people, I just happen to be fine, pick a lucky one to play." ”
Ye Jielu didn't sweep her interest, and said seriously: "Then leave it to the lady, it's okay to play as a pastime, but you can't bring it into the house, you can't afford to have an extra mouth." ”
Mama Cai quietly glanced at her, if she hadn't seen the evil smile on Ming Lanying's face, and Ye Jielu's doting smiling eyes.
Seeing that his last sentence was a joke, she would have no doubt about the authenticity of Ye Juelu's last sentence.
Ning Er looked at the texture on the trunk in front of her in a daze, and listened carefully with her little ears around the two of them, knowing that her mother was going to take action to clean up those hungry wolves who were staring at his father.
