Chapter Seventy-Two: Watching the Play
Although Fang has just opened his words, and he can think about things, but a touch of a beautiful shadow is imprinted in his heart and lingers, not a deep love at first sight, but it is like a good tea, and the careful taste has a special aftertaste.
After eating, the emperor took pity on Bai Xiyun's frailty and allowed them to go back to rest.
The second prince specially sent them back to the other courtyard.
On the carriage, Bai Xiyun and the second prince sat cross-legged opposite each other, chatting in a low voice about some things in the court, because of the narrow space, Qi Miao only sat on the innermost side with his knees on his knees, and his shoulders were cushioned with a soft big guide to close his eyes and recuperate.
The carriage swayed slightly as it walked, and the tassels on her bun swayed with it, reflecting the swaying light in the carriage. In the limited space, the faint floral fragrance on her body is stronger than usual, and the breath makes people feel comfortable and refreshing.
As soon as the words of the second prince and Bai Xiyun came to an end, he asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of incense is used on my brother and sister?"
As soon as the words came out, Qi Miao was stunned.
The second prince also knew that his question was inappropriate, so he said: "I smell this fragrance and say it is special, and I want to buy a bottle and give it to my side concubine and a few concubines." ”
Qi Miao realized this, and said with a smile: "It's the rouge that Ah Zhao bought in Tianxianglou last time, and the rouge gouache there tastes different, if the second prince thinks it's good, you can let the ladies of the house go there and use it if you like it." ”
"That's what you're talking about. If many people use the same kind of perfume, I'm afraid it won't be good. The second prince looked at Bai Xiyun with a smile, "You have a beautiful woman by your side to take care of you like this now, and your body is healing faster, you are really relieved to see it." ”
"Thanks to your home, I have a place to retreat. Zijin was really grateful. ”
"All of them have been said, this little thing doesn't have to be polite to me. The house is empty and empty, and it is very good that someone can increase the popularity of someone to live. It's just that you're going to settle the matter in your house like that?
Bai Xiyun sighed when he heard this, and said after a while: "If it were someone else, I would definitely pay attention to what family ugliness would not be publicized, but I can't do it with you." You and I are only one day away from my birthday, and I have grown up together since childhood, this is fate, today the emperor has sealed my official position as the prince and young master, although I know that it is just an official position with no real power but the right to speak, but my heart is happy, because of the relationship between you and me, the position of the prince is afraid that the emperor has already belonged to the candidate. ”
When it comes to this matter, the second prince is also upright and high-spirited.
"Yes, my matter will naturally not be hidden from you, we will go back to the mansion for sure, just now the emperor ordered Duke Su to pass the decree, and specially said that our husband and wife must personally receive the decree, I guess we will be able to see the people invited by the Hou Mansion when we arrive in the other courtyard. ”
The second prince was in a good mood, and this son laughed when he heard this: "I think it's funny when I say it, I can't imagine that my father still has such a bad taste, it can be seen that he also doesn't like what An Luhou does to help." ”
"The emperor is jealous and hateful. ”
"yes. What if you have someone to come?
"Of course not, wouldn't it be so easy to go back and let down the emperor's hard work. Bai Xiyun said: "Since the emperor has already thought of this layer, we naturally can't listen to their orders happily." Anyway, we didn't go, and Gonggong Su stayed in the Hou Mansion for the time being. ”
"Haha!" The second prince couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed, "I don't want to go first, I can't wait to see the anxious appearance of the people in the mansion!"
Qi Miao listened to the conversation between the two of them, and couldn't help but laugh too. One of them is a prince and the other is a young master, both of whom are dragons and phoenixes, but they are hiding in the carriage and discussing how to rectify people. I'm afraid that no one will believe that he is as calm and elegant as the second prince, alienated and cold as Bai Xiyun, and even plots to play pranks.
When the carriage returned to the courtyard in Shichahai, it really saw a half-new muslin blue hooves parked in front of the courtyard gate.
The second prince whispered in the car: "I'm not going to go first, let's see the excitement here." ”
Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao got out of the car first.
Qi Miao took Bai Xiyun's arm and walked towards the courtyard gate. But seeing that the carriage curtain was lifted, Yao's mother's stocky body jumped down, approached in three or two steps, and saluted: "Shizi, madam, I am finally back, go home with the old slave!"
The two of them turned a deaf ear and continued to walk through the door.
Yao's mother was anxious: "A father-in-law came to the palace to deliver the decree, saying that it must be for the two of you to receive the decree, and the people are still waiting there, the old lady asked the old slave to come over and quickly invite the two to go back to the house." ”
Qi Miao stopped, looked back and smiled, "Really?"
Yao's mother hurriedly smiled: "Indeed, I can't say that there is something good in the palace, please go with the old slave quickly and the prince." ”
"Mother Yao is really thinking about her master, a loyal servant like you, the old lady should cherish it. ”
An inexplicable compliment, Yao's mother said bluntly: "The old slave can't afford your praise, you still go with the old slave." ”
"Then I don't have to. Qi Miao said coldly: "How did we come out? This time I said that if there is something to go back, we will go back, is it that when we call, we come and go?"
"Isn't this the emperor's will, and the two must be allowed to receive the decree. Yao's mother was impatient, and her patience to be stabbed by Qi Miao'er was gone: "Don't be angry with the old slave at this time, it's the old lady who asks you to go back." If you are really dissatisfied, you can also go back and talk to the old lady, and it has nothing to do with the old slave. It's not a short trip to the house, the old slave comes with an injury, you are so sympathetic to the old slave, isn't it?"
"Yes, if I don't go, then I won't be considerate of my subordinates, and I won't listen to the old lady's orders?"
"It's good that Mrs. Shizi knows. ”
"Hmm. Qi Miao nodded with a deep sigh.
Yao's mother was overjoyed, "Then let's leave quickly." ”
"I don't send it. Qi Miao turned around and told Menzi to close the door.
Yao's mother was stunned. Isn't it already compromised just now, why is it going to be closed again?
The door was closed in front of him, and he almost hit Yao's mother's nose. She is respected by the old lady in the house, and no one has to call her Mother Yao wherever she goes, and she has to politely let the tea make the dim sum?
Yao's mother was not lightly angry, so she slammed the door hard: "Mrs. Shizi also took some, last time she physically punished the old slave, and she came to do an errand before the injury healed, didn't you cause the injuries on your body?"
"Squeak-"
The door opened again. Yao's mother felt a beat in her heart.
Qi Miao said lightly: "You don't have to knock on the door here, carefully disturb the peace of the prince, you just go back." He closed the door again.
This time, no matter how much Yao's mother knocked on the door, no one opened it.
She hurriedly ordered someone to rush back to call the old lady.
The old lady had been eating tea with Father-in-law Su for a long time, and when she saw that Yao's mother came back with a disgraced face, she didn't bring anyone behind, so she couldn't help but say, "What's the matter, Brother Zhao, they haven't come back yet?"
They only knew that Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao had gone out, but they didn't know that they had entered the palace to face the saint.
Yao's mother said indignantly: "The Qi family is also not like it, the old slave said that the emperor came to the will, and he wanted her and the prince to come back to receive the will, but she refused to come back." It seems that the will was sent to our house, and they were kicked out and would not come back. ”
The old lady's head buzzed when she listened.
Gonggong Su is the chief eunuch who serves closely by the emperor's side, and sometimes one of his sentences is more effective than a hundred sentences of ordinary officials. However, blowing the wind around the emperor can change the emperor's overall impression of a certain official.
When he came to the Bai family, the old lady would rather be condescending to receive him in person than worry about pretending to be others.
I can't think of Bai Xiyun's ungrateful rabbit cub, who doesn't care about the situation in the house, and only cares about the people in the house.
Let Father-in-law Su wait for so long, and why Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao didn't come back, wouldn't it all have to be revealed?
The old lady felt that her brain hurt.
Gonggong Su's face was gloomy, and his tone was full of impatience: "It's the first time that our family has seen the emperor's decree and make mistakes, what's going on in the mansion of Marquis Anlu? Could it be that the two of them are not in the mansion, but they have moved away? Bai Shizi and Mrs. Shizi entered the palace a while ago, and Concubine Wan Guifei likes them very much, and even takes the emperor with them, and thinks they are very good. How can such two good people not tolerate people in the house? How can they come to your house and people will not be good?"
"You don't know. The old lady smiled and said: "Brother Zhao'er's new daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, my grandson was originally excellent, if it wasn't for the Qi family's pillow wind, how could there be such a thing?"
Father-in-law Su sneered: "Yes." When the emperor saw someone who was full of praise, he became 'not a fuel-efficient lamp' in your place. Standing up lazily and shaking off the dust, "Since the prince and his wife are not in the mansion, then our family has to find their own whereabouts." How to get the will into their hands as well. ”
"Here, the old body has prepared the incense case. ”
"But the will of the official and the edict is not for others. Out of the corner of his eye, Gonggong Su saw that the old lady's face was stunned, and he was amused, so he turned around and left.
The old lady chased after him and stuffed a big seal red: "Please also ask Father-in-law Su to reveal, what kind of seal?
Father-in-law Su seemed to see the money open, accepted Feng Hong, and said: "That's it, anyway, you have to know sooner or later, the emperor values Bai Shizi's talent, and he is specially named the young master of the prince of the second grade, and his wife Qi is named the second-class county lady." This is where our family is here to preach the message. Looking at the old lady with a smile: "Now the green in the house is better than the blue, Bai Shizi is higher than An Luhou's official position, and Mrs. Shizi is higher than her mother-in-law's title, what a double happiness!"
The old lady's face was blue and red for a while. looked at Father-in-law Su's back blankly and walked away.
And Zhang, who was standing in the corner of the wall and listened for a long time, suddenly screamed: "Mother, what did he say?
