When a couple quarrels, one of them always has to bow his head first.
As a prince, it would be best for Prince Zheng not to bow his head. Now that the princess has surrendered first and sent someone to invite Prince Zheng to go back, Mrs. Wei felt relieved.
At least you still want to live your life. If you still want to live your life, then there will be things that you should avoid and fear. If there are things that you should avoid and fear, then you will know how to be afraid and will make less trouble.
She smiled at King Zheng and said, "Go back quickly. Bao Ge'er must be waiting for you. I'll ask someone to send An An over tomorrow."
Today we should let Prince Zheng and Princess Zheng reconcile with each other first, and then send Wei An over tomorrow, and everyone will forget about this matter.
King Zheng stood up, but he didn't say he would leave. He hummed, and after listening to what Old Lady Wei said, he nodded and said, "I know everything. Don't worry, Old Lady. I know everything."
Wei An also stood up and escorted Prince Zheng out, and said softly to him: "Please give way to the princess. The princess is not an ungrateful person..."
There was no need to say anything else. After all, she was a junior and the daughter of the ex-wife. It would be too presumptuous to say these things, and it would be even more inappropriate to say more.
Prince Zheng patted her head and agreed in a gentle voice. He was afraid that she would think too much and worry about Shen Chen later, so he simply said to her: "I estimate that Shen Chen's matter will be delayed for about six or seven days, but don't worry, Fifth Brother knows what's going on, and he won't let those people hold Shen Chen back."
Wei An felt that something was not right. If it was just about dealing with the matter of the garrison commander, why did he mention the matter of Prince Linjiang wearing it? She frowned, and a gust of wind came over. She couldn't help but yawn softly, and asked Prince Zheng in a daze, "Father, tell me the truth, what's going on? What is he going to do? Why did he say that he had to ask Prince Linjiang to come forward so that he wouldn't delay the wedding date?"
King Zheng was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to say it at first, but he didn't expect that the more he talked, the more frightening it became. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and told Wei An the whole story.
It turned out that the military households were all elderly, weak, women and children, but all the land had been occupied by the thousand households of Fangshan Guard Station. The annual rent for the land was astonishingly high, and the debt had even accumulated to the point where even their descendants could not pay it back, so the military households caused trouble.
But the captain was also cunning. He made friends with the eunuch An, who was a favorite of Emperor Longqing, and he was collecting rent for the emperor under the guise of...
If he were to be punished for causing such a commotion, it would be a slap in the face of Emperor Longqing.
Not only that, but even Eunuch An and Lord Xu of the cabinet will be implicated.
So now Shen Chen himself is also having a headache. When this matter came to him, Emperor Longqing clearly wanted him to suppress it, but he had been there for such a long time and there was no movement. It must be because he felt sorry for those military households, so he felt pity for them and wanted to handle the matter as much as possible to save face for both sides.
King Zheng felt a headache when he thought about this, and said to his daughter without hesitation: "This is a difficult assignment. I didn't agree with him going before, but unfortunately, the emperor insisted on asking him to go."
After the incident with the medicine, Emperor Longqing's attitude towards Shen Chen became even better, and he thought of him in everything.
But this time, things are not so easy to deal with.
Wei An couldn't help but feel a little worried. She knew Shen Chen's temper. He was a good judge of the situation, but he was definitely not someone who would go against his will and compromise. If he was sure that this was the right thing to do, he wouldn't care whether he had received a hint from Emperor Longqing to suppress the matter...
Before they knew it, they had reached the second gate. King Zheng asked Wei An to stop. Seeing that she was frowning, he whispered, "Don't worry, we don't know what will happen yet. These are just my guesses. It may not be that bad. Ah Chen has always been able to handle these things easily. Even if it looks a little difficult this time, it is not impossible. It won't be difficult for him."
After Wei An agreed, he leaned over and pinched Wei An's face: "Come to the palace tomorrow, your father still has something to give you."
Wei An nodded, watched him go out, then turned back and went to Mrs. Wei's yard.
The second wife was discussing with the old lady about the child's third-day bath. They talked about something happy, but even the old lady couldn't help laughing.
Seeing her come in, Mrs. Wei smiled and waved her to her side, and said to her with a smile: "You don't know, your second brother is really a mischievous person. He has to call the boy by a nickname..."
The second wife couldn't help laughing. Seeing that the old lady couldn't speak because of her laughter, she immediately said, "Call her Niuniu! I don't know how he could come up with that!"
Wei An was also stunned, and then he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Wei Kun is such a fool. He had to call a boy "Niuniu"!
The Second Madam was both angry and amused. Seeing Wei An laughing so hard, she coughed and said awkwardly, "I scolded him, but he still argued, saying that it was fine this way. It's just a nickname anyway, so just call him whatever you want. His father won't say anything to him..."
After Mrs. Wei finished laughing, she said, "That won't do. We can't indulge him. He's a boy. If he's called this name, people will laugh at him. It's better to just call him Niu Niu."
The second wife said, "That's what I said too. Why not just call him Niu Niu? It sounds nice and at least has good meanings. I hope the child can be like a calf..."
Mrs. Wei knew what she meant and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll tell him not to do anything wrong."
The second wife then laughed and said, "The reward given by the old lady is too generous..."
Old Madam Wei waved her hand nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? My first great-grandson, shouldn't that make me happy? You're being filial to me by asking her to take good care of him."
The Second Lady hurriedly agreed and discussed the third day bath with the old lady. She meant that it didn’t need to be such a grand celebration because there would still be a full month after the third day bath, and besides, Wei An’s wedding would be in more than half a month.
Old Madam Wei smiled and said, "There's no need to make a big fuss. We still can't skimp on what we need. Just do it the way it should be. In my opinion, if you really don't want to make a big fuss, then invite all your relatives and friends, and let your in-laws come as well..."
The second wife listened carefully, nodding in agreement from time to time. Because she was happy, she always had a gentle smile on her face and spoke softly, which made her look more energetic and cheerful than usual. (To be continued)
