Chapter 23: Prince

Views:

Although the name of Duke Anguo's mansion sounds like it does not sound as good as Princess Shunyi's mansion, it is actually much more prominent than Princess Shunyi, who has no power and no power. Although the government has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the royal family, it also vaguely knows that Princess Minhui cares about the king of Xianjun. Now the king of Xianjun is married to the charming and charming Princess of Xianjun. He doesn't look down on this princess. The eldest grandson took over. When they were the Anguo Gongfu, did they pick up rubbish

As the saying goes, what a matchmaker should do is a good thing that sticks to each other, not hatred. The will of Emperor Qilong was undoubtedly a thorn in Duke An's heart. He was most satisfied with his eldest grandson. Originally, he wanted to hire a virtuous woman who was knowledgeable and polite for him. The purpose of marriage.

However, no matter how unhappy they were, the imperial decree had already been issued, so they could only maintain a happy performance and go to the palace to thank them, and then go to the palace of Princess Shunyi to hire them according to the grades calculated by the Qin Tianjian. However, although the betrothal gift was generous, it did not use any sincerity after all.

Some close family members in the capital could guess the grievances at the mansion of An Guogong. Although they persuaded a few words in private, they all expressed congratulations cheerfully in public. Even if An Guogong had eaten Huanglian, he had to insist. Sweet.

Today, Mrs. Lu came to see Hua Xiwan at the Prince’s Mansion of Xian County. She was sure that she didn’t have any scars on her forehead, so she breathed a sigh of relief, cursed the Fang’s family a few more words, and then said in a low voice, “The Princess of Minhui and Duke An Guogong. The marriage decree of the eldest grandson of the mansion was too hasty. I went to the mansion of Anguo a few days ago. I saw that although their dowry was well-prepared, they were always a little unwilling. I really don't know what the picture is. ."

Knowing that her mother was talking about the queen, Hua Xiwan said with a half-smile, "Who knows, I only remember that this county owner, as an unmarried daughter, came to the new house on the day I got married."

Although Lu's temper is strong, she is not a brainless person. Hua Xiwan's words made her frown: "It turns out that she has such a mind, but I don't know if the people in Anguo Gong's mansion know?"

"Some time ago, Princess Duanhe invited us to visit Zhuangzi in the suburbs. When we played the game of throwing pots, the old lady and grandson of Duke Anguo were also there," Hua Xiwan said with some regret, "I didn't pay attention at that time. , I became a little more intimate with the county prince. At that time, the county master Minhui looked a little ugly, and I don't know if the old lady of An Guo saw it. If you find it, I will ask..." Hua Xiwan sighed and said with concern, " I'm afraid something is wrong, but it's not mine."

"How can I blame you for this? It's understandable that you and uncle Yan Er are a little more intimate," Lu smiled and took a sip from the teacup, "Everyone has their own fate, why do you worry about it? Benefit, but hurt God."

"Mother taught me a lesson," Hua Xiwan replied with a smile, then looked at the fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus in the vase, "It's already autumn, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, so my daughter can't accompany her parents to enjoy the festival. Moon is really unfilial."

"We know your intentions," Lu clapped her daughter's hand and smiled reluctantly, "Now that you are the princess of the county and married, how can you be like when you were a child? I just hope that your life will be better. It is the greatest filial piety to us.”

Hua Xiwan felt sour in her heart, and put her head on Lu Shi's shoulder: "With you here, I will always be a child."

Lu Shi sighed and reached out and patted Hua Xiwan's shoulder. Her own child knew that although this girl was lazy and didn't seem to care about anything, she actually valued feelings the most. No, no one else knows it.

Before noon, Yan Jinqiu came back from outside. After seeing Mrs. Lu, he first performed a standard junior salute, and then carefully inquired about Mrs. Lu and his family's health. He smiled and said, "I'm relieved to hear that everything is fine with you. Xiwan also thinks of you on weekdays. In the future, if my mother-in-law has nothing to do, she can come and go more often. There are few people in our house, and sometimes I work outside. , Xiwan is alone in the mansion, it's really boring."

Lu Shi smiled softly: "The prince of the county cares for the princess of the county, which is a blessing for our girls. It's just that there is no one to accompany this huge palace of the prince, but it's just a little squeamish, and the prince can't condone her like this."

"Where did your mother-in-law say this?" Yan Jinqiu smiled and glanced at Hua Xiwan, his eyes full of tenderness, "Although there are many people in the house, they are all subordinates. How can you compare to your mother-in-law. Besides, Xiwan is not squeamish. It's just that I want her to be more at ease."

Lu Shi's smile became even stronger when she heard the words. She glanced at her daughter who was always smiling, and after a few polite words, she changed the subject.

During lunch, Yan Jinqiu accompanied Hua Xiwan and Lu Shi to eat together, and after talking for a while, he got up and went to the study, leaving space for the mother and daughter to talk.

Although Lu Shi was reluctant to part with her daughter, she also knew that she could not stay in the county palace for a long time. Yes, remember, nothing compares to yourself, don't be stupid."

Hua Xiwan nodded with a choked throat: "Don't worry, mother, I will save it."

Mrs. Lu took a breath and turned into the slightly fierce Mrs. Hou's mansion again: "Please take good care of your body, the princess of the county, and the ministers leave."

Hua Xiwan tugged at the corner of her mouth and smiled, and sent Lu Shi to the second gate. Seeing Lu Shi got into the soft sedan chair, she turned around and went back to the yard.

Seeing that the master was in a bad mood, a few personal maids thought of a way to make the master happy, and they were relieved until Hua Xiwan showed a smile.

"I know you guys are worried about me," Hua Xiwan smiled and grabbed a handful of candy for everyone. "Eat some candy, and try to make your mouth sweeter in the future."

"Then the servants will thank you," Bai Xia took the candy with a smile and glanced at the sky outside, "The weather is not so hot recently, Princess Princess, if you like to eat spicy food, why don't the pantry cook it for you? Some braised dishes?"

"That's a good idea," Yan Jinqiu walked in from the outside, sat down beside Hua Xiwan and said, "The girls around you are all very clever and serve you wholeheartedly, that's great."

"Aren't these dishes taking advantage of your heart?" Hua Xiwan raised her eyebrows, "In that case, you have to reward these girls."

"If that's the case, give each person a golden hairpin with twisted silk," Yan Jinqiu smiled and asked Mu Tong to write down, "Is this sincerity?"

Hua Xiwan pointed at her maidservants with a smile: "Why don't you thank the prince for your reward?"

Bai Xia and the others smiled and thanked them, then withdrew with a wink, and closed the door thoughtfully.

After the people left, the smile on Yan Jinqiu's face faded: "Princess Shunyi's condition is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid it won't last for a few months."

"No wonder the decree was made so quickly and the time was so tight," Hua Xiwan poured him a cup of tea, "It's just that I heard that the sage and Princess Shunyi did not have a deep relationship, but this time..."

"Princess Shunyi was poisoned because of the empress. One of his actions was to show others that he was kind and righteous, and the other was to appease the family," Yan Jinqiu took a sip of tea, "It's just that Minhui County Master is not so suitable. ." It might be more appropriate if it is other noble or wealthy county lords, as for Minhui county lord... as long as it doesn't have the opposite effect.

She didn't expect Yan Jinqiu to speak so clearly in front of her, Hua Xiwan glanced at Yan Jinqiu with some surprise, saw that he was drinking the tea he poured seriously, and said with a smile: "Jinqiu said this. I don't understand why, the master of Minhui County is unparalleled in virtue and virtue, and many ladies from noble families in Beijing have praised that it is a great joy to have such a worthy grandson-in-law in the mansion of Anguo."

Yan Jinqiu looked at the pattern on the cup in his hand, which were tangled branches: "Xiwan is right, it's really a happy event."

Hua Xiwan highly praised Yan Jinqiu's behavior of breaking his morals and changing his mouth so quickly, and even gave him a cup of tea as a reward.

As a man, you always have to have some eyesight, otherwise how can you get along outside, she is doing this for his own good.

When autumn comes, the mansion has to prepare things for autumn use, how much clothes people add, and which things in the mansion need to be put away. As the hostess of the house, Hua Xiwan doesn't need to arrange everything, she only needs to read the list handed by the steward, and then decide whether to delete it. If, as the hostess of the palace, she had to intervene in big and small matters, and she had to make arrangements for the outside world, no matter how big or small, then she didn't need to sleep every day, she only needed to take care of various orders.

Those who need her to intervene in person are usually gifts of equals or venerables. For the following unimportant exchanges, most of them are arranged and reported by the stewards. Otherwise, what should these stewards do. What's more, if the dignified princess of the county has to intervene in everything, no one will praise her for her virtuousness. The most honest ones will praise her for her sincerity, and the unkind ones may say that she is petty.

Today this old lady is celebrating her birthday, tomorrow the boy will be full moon, and who will get married the day after tomorrow. In the capital where there are so many aristocratic families and the royal family walks all over the place, gifts are given several times a month almost every month. At this time, the major managers are showing their talents. Don’t worry about their lack of dedication, because they can’t wait to do things the best. Well, fortunately, she showed her face in front of Hua Xiwan.

Hua Xiwan had just printed the report for the preparation of autumn clothes when she saw Mu Tong walked in with a happy face and said, "Princess, I'm so happy."

princess

Hua Xiwan calmly looked at Mu Tong who was kneeling in front of her: "What happened?"

"The emperor issued an decree today that the Prince of Jinjun is the prince of special products. The person who will pass the decree from the Ministry of Rites is about to arrive. Please prepare one or two."

Inexplicably, how did he suddenly increase Yan Jinqiu's rank? Hua Xiwan looked at the sunny sky outside, did the sun come out from the west

How generous is a terminally suspicious patient like Emperor Qilong
