While Rong Suihe was solemnly arranging errands for his subordinates, in the Gaomi Palace, the princess was having a hysterical attack: "Beast! Beast!! Beast!!! You beast!!!"
The Xiangji Hall was in a mess, with gold, beads, jade, and ivory crystals all over the floor.
The servants except Aunt Zhao had already stayed away.
Rong Qingzuo and his wife knelt side by side in the hall, advising with tears: "Mother and concubine, please take care of yourself!"
"You have hidden such a big thing from me, and you still need me to take care of you?!" Princess Gaomi's face was streaked with tears. She grabbed a large golden tortoise shell wine tray and smashed it down, screaming, "She just wants me to die early. !!!”
The large tortoiseshell wine tray in the golden chamber flew over the heads of Rong Qingzu and his wife, and hit the Gaomi King heavily.
The King of Gaomi staggered for a moment before standing still, and sighed, his tone full of exhaustion: "Mi Xue, this time I was really afraid that you would be ill for many years and couldn't bear the stimulation, so I didn't dare to tell you that the child was living in exile. The true experience of being abroad for fifteen years!”
"You're lying to me!!!" However, the princess didn't believe it at all. She grabbed a beaded fruit box and threw it at her feet, sneering, "You just want to sow discord!!! You two, father and daughter! He repeatedly told me that He'er spent fifteen years away from home with fine clothes, fine food, good food, and servants as slaves. The purpose was to make me think that he didn't suffer at all, so by not being close to me, he was being pampered and spoiled, and he was ignorant and unfilial. Inconsiderate?!!”
"It's easy to teach me how to misunderstand that child, thus alienating and neglecting him!"
"Then you can kill him, right?!"
"You beast!!!"
“Tiger poison doesn’t even eat its seeds!!!”
The princess suddenly collapsed to the ground and cried loudly, "I was blind back then!!! If I had known your true nature, I shouldn't have had children for you!!! I would have let you live with Mo Xiuxin." A few people go to love each other and become a family with a wolf-hearted dog, a dog’s lungs, a mouth and a honey-belly sword!!!”
"Mother Concubine!" After hearing this, Rong Qingzu and his wife were both frightened. They stepped forward on their knees, grabbed her sleeves, and said in panic, "Mother Concubine, please calm down! In any case, the third brother is still fine at the moment. Since you love him so much, how can you not take care of yourself? Didn’t we say it before? You will need your help to take care of the future wedding of the third brother’s child!”
Rong Qingzuo cried again, "And how can the mother-in-law say that the father does not love the third brother? Do you think that if the father does not love the third brother, why did he go with you to the Ningwei Hou Mansion to publicly recognize the third brother? For this reason, my father and the Meng family negotiated for less than half a month. How much did it cost to get the Meng family to stop?! Even the third brother's current title of county king was obtained by my father for him!"
"The Meng family has always been extremely ambitious, so they sent the daughter of Zheng Guogong to Wangchun Palace. Today, Chongxin's sister and Prince Guangling are reunited! It's clear what they are planning to do. At this critical moment of life and death, the pressure from the father and the king can be overwhelming. You can imagine! So it is inevitable that there are things that cannot be taken care of for the third brother, but how can you think that the father will be harmful to the third brother? Mother, concubine, the third brother has lost his memory, which is originally a good thing for our family, but you blame your father like this King, if my third brother knew about it, how could he not be suspicious? By then, our family will fall apart!!!"
Princess Gaomi looked at him for a while, then smiled sadly and said, "Qingzhu, it's not surprising that you are looking at Rong Jing! After all, since He'er's accident, you have become the child that both he and I love and value the most. Rong Jing has really treated you well over the years. But... you have also forgotten that before He'er's accident, could you, the eldest son, be as carefree as he is now?!"
Rong Jing is the taboo name of King Gaomi.
Rong Qingzuo's face changed drastically when he heard this. After a while, he timidly said in a low voice: "Mother Concubine, no matter what, the child is your and the father's child! No matter how you two treat the child, the child..."
"You have been living abroad for fifteen years. You have been wronged and come back with scars all over your body. It is not you who is still being suspected and guarded against. Of course you can say that!" Princess Gaomi looked at him with disappointed eyes and tears fell. , her voice was not high, but full of hostility, "But don't forget, who gave you these fifteen years of peace of mind? !!"
"Mi Xue!!!" King Gaomi finally closed his eyes unbearably, his tone full of deep annoyance and sadness, "No matter how stupid I was back then, I would never have been able to tell him the right thing..."
"If you hadn't, would Mo Xiu The approval of the beast brought about the subsequent disaster?!"
King Gaomi trembled: "But they are all dead!!!"
"So you also want He'er to die?!" The princess clenched her fists, "The reason why they die is because they deserve to die!!! But what did my He'er do wrong?!"
She looked at King Gaomi angrily and said with gnashing teeth, "How I wish He'er hadn't left me fifteen years ago, but you had died instead?!"
When the Gaomi Palace was in chaos, the Sheng Palace was not at peace either.
Old Mrs. Sheng had just come back. Before he could step through the gate, he ordered his men and women to pack Sheng Weiqiao's luggage. He also ordered people to go to the pier to send word that the Sheng family's boat was ready to set off.
Because this was something that had been agreed upon before, Sheng Weiqiao had no objection.
Although Sheng Weide, Sheng Weirao, and Sheng Weche didn't know about Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Sleeping Crane, because of Feng's pregnancy, it was not surprising that his grandfather wanted Sheng Weiqiao to leave as soon as possible. Sheng Weiwu has always been close to Sheng Weiqiao, and after hearing this, she wanted to go back with her cousin, but the old man refused... Every more person on the road means more luggage. At this moment when she can't wait to send her granddaughter away from Chang'an tomorrow, Isn't it a delay
"Then will my grandson accompany Third Sister back?" Sheng Weide asked for permission upon seeing this, "After all, it's a long way back to Nanfeng County, and it's not convenient for Third Sister to be a girl."
Old Mrs. Sheng shook his head and said: "No, the reason why we don't go back together is because we have to arrange Ying Jiang's marriage. Originally, none of your parents were in Chang'an, so you are already very weak. Once you leave, you will arrive there. At that time, there was only Cheer, a young male heir in our family, and he hadn't married Jiang Da yet, so how could he hold up in the scene?"
Mrs. Ming said from the side: "But De'er is right. It's not a problem for a young girl like Qiao Er to go back alone on such a long journey, even if she is accompanied by a steward? How about we pay a visit? Let’s visit Lanci’s old friends in Chang’an and see if there are any children or uncles of Qiaoer’s generation who are free, and ask them to help accompany Qiaoer on a trip?”
"Those who say it's Lan Ci's old friend, but because Lan Ci hasn't been to Chang'an for many years, he relies on letters to communicate. Now, except Ruchuan, who is still attentive, the rest of the family is not very affectionate, especially among the younger generations. It would be a bit arrogant to come to the door rashly with only superficial feelings left." Old Mrs. Sheng frowned and said, "I don't know, you thought we wanted to promise Qiaoer to them. You said the price should be reduced? As for how? Chuan, he has a serious job to do, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for him to go to him?”
Why did Mrs. Ming feel guilty: "Then let Qiaoer go back alone? This is really inappropriate. Otherwise, isn't there still two months left for drinking dew? Let's write a letter back now and call Lance Or maybe one of Lan Zi and the other two can pick up Qiao Er, what do you think?"
"No." Old Mrs. Sheng was worried about long nights and many dreams, and shook his head repeatedly. Just as he was about to speak, Sheng Weide said again: "Grandpa and grandma, how about this? Anyway, Ying Jiang's marriage took place after the eldest aunt gave birth. How about my grandson accompany his third sister first?" Go back to Nanfeng County and wait for Uncle Mo to give birth before coming to Chang'an! It's not a big deal to go back and forth on our own boat, and it's just the right time to tell you two about my little cousin or my little cousin."
"Then it's too hard for you, second brother!" Hearing this, before the old man and his wife could object, Sheng Weiqiao said first, "Even if it's my own boat, everyone will lose weight after traveling such a long distance. It’s a circle. Let alone a round trip in a short time?”
After hearing this, Mrs. Ming quickly looked at Mr. Sheng, for fear that he would think it was feasible. Fortunately, although the old man preferred the big house, he did not care about the children and grandchildren of the second and third bedrooms. She nodded and said: "What Qiao'er said is that, De'er, you'd better follow Let's stay in Chang'an forever! Mi Zhen has returned to his palace, and you are the eldest grandson of our family. There will be many things that will happen in the future that we old bones will not be able to handle, and we will have to rely on you."
In fact, the old man had already planned how to solve the problem of Sheng Weiqiao returning to Nanfeng County alone. After denying it all the way, he took a look at Sheng Weiqiao and said, "Qiaoer, what do you think about letting the Marquis of Yichun go with you?"
Sheng Weiqiao was startled: "Marquis of Yichun? Grandpa, is this inappropriate? Not to mention that he has been in Chang'an and has never been to other places. In terms of experience abroad, 80% of it is not as much as mine! Furthermore, he Although the body and bones are said to be healed, Princess Wuyang has the only male heir, so how can she be willing to let him travel far away?"
"Don't underestimate His Royal Highness Princess Wuyang. Your Highness is not the kind of person who has to keep his only son by his side!" The old man said kindly, "His Royal Highness actually hoped that the Marquis of Yichun could read thousands of miles and travel thousands of miles, just because of Yichun Hou Da is not in good health when he is young, so he can only rest in the eldest princess's mansion. This only gives outsiders the impression that Princess Wuyang is extremely doting on her only son!"
He added, "The Marquis of Yichun is well now. Her Royal Highness Princess Wuyang is very willing to let him walk around while his body is still strong and he does not need juniors to stay in front of the bed all day long, so as to increase his knowledge and broaden his horizons." Big-hearted!”
Sheng Weiqiao thought for a while and wondered: "Grandpa, could it be that during the banquet just now, when I was not in front of you, Her Highness Princess Wuyang secretly said something to you? Or maybe you went to speak to His Highness? What?"
"Just tell me what's wrong with asking the Marquis of Yichun to accompany you to the south!" Old Master Sheng's evasive attitude obviously proved that Sheng Weiqiao had guessed correctly. She couldn't help but secretly gritted her teeth: Although Princess Wuyang had indeed expressed her position before because of Queen Meng's private arrangement, I want her to be my daughter-in-law.
But because of what happened at the flower-viewing banquet, and because the blind date between Sheng Weiqiao and the Marquis of Yichun was very unsatisfactory, in Sheng Weiqiao's view, the matter could no longer be settled.
Why would he offer to let the Marquis of Yichun accompany him to the south now
As for Mrs. Sheng going to see Princess Wuyang, Sheng Weiqiao thought it was unlikely, because although the grandfather desperately wanted to separate himself from Rong Suihe, he was also a person who loved his granddaughter. He would never do such self-deprecation. It’s about my granddaughter’s identity!
Then there is only one answer: Li Shengxu and Princess Wuyang requested it!
"This bastard!!!" Sheng Weiqiao swore silently in his heart, "Next time I see him, I will beat him so hard that he will never dare to challenge me in his life!!!"
But Sheng Weiqiao didn't know that she had really wronged Li Shengxu this time!
