"Father, Mingle is a simple person. She doesn't understand the trend of attached inflammation." Ni Zhan said for Mingle, "Now she can finally live a good life, don't bother her anymore."
"What bastard words are you talking about?" Ni's father was angry and said, "You exchanged military merit for Mingle, and father didn't say anything about you. Now there is a great opportunity in front of our Ni family, as long as we seize it, Our Ni family can shine on the lintel, but you ignore the Ni family for the sake of a little girl and for the sake of your children, are you worthy of the ancestors?"
"Father!" Ni Zhan was extremely helpless, his parents and relatives were very important to him, but Mingle was also very important, "Father, the heart of an emperor is unfathomable, companions are like companions to tigers, look at Concubine Zhen, in the past So much favored, it can be said that he walks sideways in the harem. The emperor said that if he turned his face, he would turn his face, and directly destroy the family. Our Ni family can't go her old way!"
Seeing that Father Ni was a little shaken, Ni Gong was afraid that it would affect his career and quickly said: "Brother said so righteously, isn't he afraid that Mingle will be blamed for offending the emperor?"
Ni Shun also echoed: "That is, eldest brother, you feel sorry for Mingle, can't you feel sorry for your father and mother who are managing for the family business? You have already disappointed your father once by exchanging your military achievements for Mingle, do you still want to let your father down for Mingle? Disappointed for the second time?"
Ni Zhan was silent again. He was the eldest son in the family and was supported by the whole family. Naturally, he had to assume the responsibility of a prosperous family.
He was indeed capricious once in the matter of Mingle.
It is also because of this self-willedness that I have always felt ashamed of my family.
Maybe…
Ni Zhan reassured himself in his heart, maybe, only let Mingle help his two younger brothers get jobs and pay back the guilt, and he and Mingle will be happy in the future.
Seeing Ni Zhan's compromise, Father Ni patted him on the shoulder and said, "This matter is not urgent now. We will observe for a few more days to see how the emperor's attitude towards Mingle is."
After dinner, Mingle came to the stable to see Bailiu. As soon as Bailiu saw her, he rubbed her hand affectionately, but he was good.
Moreover, when Mingle wants to ride it, it will take the initiative to bend her knees so that she can get on the horse better.
Riding it, I never worry about the horse bullying her and throwing her off.
Jin-hee helped her onto the horse.
Bailiu walked up obediently in the small yard. When Mingle said to drive, it would speed up a little, but this speed would not hurt her.
Jin Xi praised: "Bai Liu is really very spiritual."
"Yeah, the emperor said the same thing." Mingle smiled happily.
Ni Zhan stood aside with his hands behind his back, and looked at Ming Le with a slightly surprised look. In his impression, Ming Le was pure, innocent, kind, and pitiful. He loved everything about her, but behind these lovely traits, Ming Le is actually a little stupid and a little bit stupid, especially his courage is very small.
When he took her on horseback, she would curl up in his arms, completely dependent on him.
He thought she was so stupid and timid that she would neither like to ride nor learn to ride.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a few days, she would be able to ride a horse by herself.
"This horse is really spiritual." Ni Gong, who didn't know when he came, sighed, "To be able to carefully protect Mingle, to see Lu Buping, and to go around by himself, not to jeopardize Mingle, it is really rare in the world. baby."
He looked at Bai Liu greedily. If he had such a BMW when he went to the battlefield, it would be a real blessing.
Ni Gong faced Ni Zhan, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed deeply, "Brother, can you ask Mingle to give this horse to his younger brother?"
"what?"
For Ni Zhan's surprise, Ni Gong can also predict, he bowed deeply again, "Big brother, Huaibei bandits are rampant, the Ministry of War has ordered me to set out with the army in three days to suppress the bandits. Big brother, second brother, I am now It's just a seventh-rank general. If you don't make a contribution to this bandit suppression, how can you rise up? Brother, for Mingle, Bailiu is just a fun horse, but it's different if you give it to me, I can take it When you go to the battlefield, you can make a contribution and make a career and shine on the Ni family."
Ni Zhan hesitated, "But this is Mingle's own thing."
"Big brother, the generals have died in a hundred battles, and the Huaibei bandits are very powerful. With this horse, I must have made merit and returned safely."
"Big brother, I beg you as a younger brother!"
Ni Gong has already begged each other, what can he do
Ni Zhan sighed, "I'll ask Mingle first."
"Big brother goes out, sister-in-law will definitely listen."
In the evening, Mingle sat quietly after taking a bath, Jin Xi wiped her hair, Ni Zhan took the towel from Jin Xi's hand, let Jin Xi go down, and he wiped Mingle's hair.
"Mingle." Ni Zhan called softly.
"Huh?" Mingle looked at Ni Zhan through the mirror. In the past, he only listened to the voice and didn't see anyone else. Now that he saw it, he realized that his husband was really handsome.
It's the kind of masculine handsome, but always frowning on such a handsome face, it seems to be very unhappy.
"Hundred and six, do you like it?"
"Yeah." Mingle responded crisply, "It's my favorite among the things that the emperor gave as a reward."
"Yes?"
Ni Zhan murmured, and after hesitating for a long time, he still said, "Mingle, Bailiu is a BMW, and such a horse should go to the battlefield."
Mingle was startled, "Azhan, do you want Bailiu to accompany you on the battlefield?"
The corner of Ni Zhan's mouth twitched, deliberately saying no, but looking at Mingle's innocent face, he couldn't say anything.
Mingle finally had something of his own, and he was going to take it away from her, which was too cruel.
Mingle smiled slightly, "It's okay, Ah Zhan, you don't have to take me too seriously. If Bailiu accompanies you to the battlefield, I have no problem."
Ni Zhan was silent, he slowly embraced Mingle in his arms, and silently said sorry in his heart.
Let Mingle think Bailiu gave it to him, at least this way, the second brother and Mingle will be happy.
The next day, early in the morning, Mingle went to greet Mother Ni according to the rules, and Jin Fu reminded: "Princess, you are a daughter of gold, so you don't need to serve tea to Madam Ni."
"It's okay, it's like this every day, I'm used to it." Mingle smiled lightly, "Besides, if I don't go, my mother-in-law will be unhappy, and Ah Zhan will also be unhappy."
"Princess, you have wronged yourself too much." Jin Fu said with some distress.
Their sisters had protected many people on the orders of the emperor, and it was the first time they met such a silly girl.
"I've always been like this before, no grievances."
Mingle said, changed her clothes, and came to the hall. She promised Lu Ze not to tell others that her eyes were healed for the time being, so she was still entangled by Jin Fu when serving tea, and knelt down with empty eyes.
Mother Ni glanced at her angrily. She took the tea, but she didn't drink it. She put it aside in disgust and said, "Okay, I've drank the tea, but I still want to tell you a few words..."
Did you drink tea
Mingle looked at the untouched cup of tea, why did her mother-in-law lie
There were doubts in his heart, but Mingle didn't dare to ask, and Mother Ni continued: "Although you are favored by the emperor now, you are always the daughter-in-law of my Ni family, so you must seek welfare for the Ni family, and in the future, you will be more in front of the emperor for you. Do you know that your husband and your two uncles have good things to say?"
"Yes, Mingle knows."
Jin Fu helped Ming Le up, and his disgust for the Ni family was a little more.
The second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, who were sitting on the side, covered their mouths and smiled, their eyes filled with sarcasm.
Mingle felt a little uncomfortable. She never knew that in the world she couldn't see, there were so many sarcasms and malice.
The daughter-in-law of the second room looked at Mother Ni, and said without speaking, "Mother, jewelry."
Mother Ni nodded and said, "The twelve boxes of jewelry you brought back yesterday..."
"Mother, that was given to me by the emperor's brother."
"Give it to you, it's from our Ni family!" The third-bedroom daughter-in-law said, and she looked at Ni's mother and the second-bedroom daughter-in-law, and they had a tacit understanding.
It felt as if they were a family and Mingle was just an outsider.
Mingle lowered his head sadly, wanting to refute but afraid of making his mother-in-law sick like last time, A Zhan was angry.
Jin Fu was furious, stepped forward and blessed Fushen and said, "Mrs. Ni, Princess Mingle's twelve boxes of jewelry are all personally gifted by the emperor, and they are recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Others. Your wife, if you want to be greedy for ink, you have to see if you have your life!"
"you!"
Mother Ni covered her head and looked like she had a headache. The second-bedroom daughter-in-law slapped the table and stood up, "Princess Mingle, even if you are a princess, you are still your mother's daughter-in-law, how can you make your mother angry!"
The third wife's daughter-in-law also helped: "Look, my mother's headache is happening again, princess, you condone the maid's foolishness, if you are angry with your mother, can you bear the responsibility?"
The three of them sang in harmony, but the eye contact was very ordinary.
Mother Ni was covering her head and feet with pain, but her face showed no signs of pain, very perfunctory.
The second- and third-bedroom daughter-in-law sternly accused her, but her face was full of schadenfreude.
Mingle's world collapsed.
At this time in the past, she heard that Niang's head was offended and screamed loudly. She thought it was serious and would always apologize immediately. Later, when Ah Zhan blamed her for being angry with her, she would also reflect on herself.
But now she could see it, she saw with her own eyes the hypocrisy and abomination behind it all.
How could they join forces to act to deceive her a blind girl
They... how could they be so shameless
Seeing that Mingle didn't immediately kneel down and beg her for relief, Mother Ni became even more angry, howled louder, and then fainted as soon as her eyes were closed.
Mingle just stood there, she felt as if she was watching a play.
And the actors are insincere and full of flaws.
The third daughter-in-law rushed over and raised her hand to hit Mingle, "How dare you make your mother stunned?"
Mingle was really dumbfounded. She never knew that people could confuse black and white like this.
Seeing that his palm was about to fall on Ming Le's face, Jin Fu grabbed the third wife's wrist, threw it away fiercely, and slapped her face.
The clamorous noises stopped.
Jin Fu scolded: "Bold, to actually do something to the princess."
Jin Fu's slap was quite ruthless, and he directly knocked out a tooth from the third wife's daughter-in-law.
At this time, everyone realized that Jin Fu had Kung Fu on his body, not an ordinary maid.
Mother Ni secretly squinted to see Jin Fu's feat, she simply did a fake show and fainted. The second daughter-in-law's face turned pale with fright, and hurriedly called her mother, and then hurriedly called her servants and carried her mother away.
My God, she shouldn't be with a female Rakshasa like Jin Fu.
Ni Zhan had already arrived at the barracks, and he was called back by the servants at home just after he started training.
When I came back, the whole room was crying.
Ni's mother was lying on the bed, crying oh oh oh in a weak tone, the third-bedroom daughter-in-law lay on the table and wept piercingly, Ni Shun stood by the side with a pale face, and the second-bedroom daughter-in-law was snuggling on Ni Gong.
As soon as Ni Zhan walked in, everyone looked at him.
Ni Shun rushed up, "Big brother, sister-in-law's maid beat my wife and knocked out her teeth. You are so arrogant and domineering, you must give me an explanation!"
Ni Gong appeased the second daughter-in-law, and the second daughter-in-law complained softly: "Brother, sister-in-law's maid is too powerful, making her ill and hurting her third younger sister. If I hadn't helped her to run fast, I'd be afraid. will suffer from this evil too.”
Mother Ni screamed louder.
Ni Zhan frowned. He didn't believe that Mingle would deliberately be angry with his mother, but when he thought about the dismemberment before entering the door yesterday, he was uncertain again.
Ni Zhan asked in a cold voice, "Where's Mingle?"
The second daughter-in-law looked at Mingle who was standing quietly not far from the door.
It turned out that she had been standing here, but the performance inside was so lively that people subconsciously ignored her.
Ming Le did not come in, but stood not too far away, holding Jin Fu's sleeve in his hand.
She is relying on Jin Fu.
The development of things completely exceeded her expectations. She was not valued by the late emperor since she was a child, so when others bullied her, she was straightforward and straightforward. She had never experienced the terrifying heartbreak of these people.
After marrying into the Ni family, she was born blind and unable to see. She thought it was her fault. Even if the third sister-in-law pierced her with a needle, she thought it was her fault that Ah Zhan had replaced her with military merit.
Now, seeing it with my own eyes, it's terrifying.
She looked at Ni Zhan expectantly, he was her husband, the one she entrusted her whole life to.
"Azhan." She whispered.
Ni Zhan walked in front of her step by step, his voice was as affectionate as ever, but what he said made her feel chills.
"Mingle, it's Jin Fu who made his own decision to beat people, right?" He also looked at her expectantly, "You are always kind and don't deliberately be angry with your mother and beat people on purpose?"
"No, it's not." Mingle shook his head with red eyes, "Mother is pretending to be sick, she's not sick, the third sister-in-law wants to beat me, and Jin Fucai helped me."
Mingle thought that if she told the truth, Ni Zhan would stand on her side.
However, no.
"Mingle, you have disappointed me too much."
Ni Zhan shook his head painfully, "You know that your mother is not in good health, why don't you follow her more?"
"Mother, she's not sick! It's a fake!" Mingle wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
"Why did she pretend to be sick and frame you?" Ni Zhan asked back.
Mingle couldn't answer, Ni Zhan said decisively: "Mingle, I didn't expect you to start bullying your family as soon as you gained power."
"I do not have!"
"I know you don't." Ni Zhan patted her head reassuringly, then turned to look at Jin Fu, who was standing calmly and restrained, "You were provoked."
The corner of Jin Fu's mouth evoked a mocking angle, so the concubine is now blaming her
"It was you who came out of the palace and ran rampant in the Ni Mansion."
Up to now, apart from blaming everything on Jin Fu and letting Jin Fu replace Ming Le's guilt, there is no other way to appease the family's anger.
Ni Zhan felt that he could only do this, so he stretched out his hand to catch Jin Fu, Jin Fu ducked and said in a cold voice, "My concubine, I was sent by the emperor to protect the princess. No one in the emperor is qualified to deal with me!"
Ni Zhan was stunned.
Jin Fu grabbed Mingle and stood in front of Ni Zhan, "Master Consort, you can see clearly, but your wife Jiefa is standing in front of you. Are you really ignorant of her temperament, or are you pretending to be confused?"
"Look at her eyes, can't you see the grievances in them?"
In fact, what Jin Fu wants to ask is that Princess Mingle's eyes are so bright. As her husband, the closest person she loves the most, can't she really see that the princess' eyes have regained her sight
Jin Fu angrily said, "My concubine, you haven't asked the princess if she is okay since you entered the door. You only heard the words of the people in the house and decided that Princess Mingle was guilty. Where is your justice? It's still in the concubine's heart. Right or wrong, it doesn't matter whether Princess Mingle is wronged or not, the important thing is to calm Madam Ni's anger?"
The questioning, one after another, hit Ni Zhan's heart, as well as Ming Le's heart.
She suddenly remembered the past one after another, remembered that her mother always said she had a headache, remembered the time when she was tripped and spilled hot tea on her, and then she slapped her and scolded her for being a Intentionally, she said no, and the mother was so angry that she had a headache and was bedridden for a long time.
That is, Ah Zhan also took her to kneel outside the door for a long time.
Is it all fake
Tears fell, Ni Zhan panicked, "Mingle?"
As if feeling the change in the atmosphere outside the house, Mother Ni's cry of ooh ooh became louder in the house.
The second wife's daughter-in-law shouted, "Brother, my mother has a terrible headache, come and have a look!"
"Azhan." Mingle called to him.
Ni Zhan gritted his teeth, "Mingle, I'll explain it to you when I comfort my mother."
Ni Zhan said, turned and rushed into the house.
Mingle watched Ni Zhan go further and further and wanted to chase after him. Jin Fu held her and reminded: "Princess, the emperor is still waiting for you. You promised the emperor that you will study in the palace today."
"But… "
Jin Fu persuaded: "Princess, it's very messy now, you can't help me here, why don't you go to the palace to fulfill your promise to the emperor, and when you come back, the concubine calms down, and the two of you can have a good chat. Chat, and the concubine also said that he will explain it to you after he has calmed Mrs. Ni."
Mingle knew in her heart that Jin Fu was right, but when she thought of Ni Zhan turning around and walking away without any hesitation, her heart ached.
Mingle nodded and entered the palace.
In the royal study, Lu Ze held Mingle's hand and taught her to write, "This is your name, Mingle."
"Mingle." Mingle read his name, copying stroke by stroke, his eyes focused and serious.
Lu Ze stayed with her for a while and walked out of the imperial study. Jin Fu told Lu Ze everything that happened in the morning.
Lu Ze's eyes sank slightly, especially when Jin Fu said that Mingle was made trouble by the Ni family, but his eyes were red but he didn't cry, but when Ni Zhan made him cry, he especially wanted to kill the Ni family.
But not now.
Now that the Ni family is moved, Mingle will be sad.
Lu Ze sighed and instructed Jin Fu to stay with Mingle and return to Mingle.
Lu Ze took a piece of cake to Mingle, "I've been practicing for half an hour. Let's take a rest and continue."
"Yeah." Ming Le reluctantly put down the brush, sat on the chair, and ate the cakes in small bites.
"Mingle, do you like listening to stories?"
"Huh?" Mingle nodded, "Yes, I like listening to people talk the most."
"Brother, can I tell you something?"
"Well." Mingle came to Lu Ze obediently, and Lu Ze's warm voice flowed slowly like spring water. When "The Peony Pavilion" came out, Nan Ke Yimeng was hard on himself.
After a long time, Mingle sobbed softly and asked, "Why did Du Liniang just go like this, will Lord Yan let her resurrect?"
"Love doesn't know where it arises, it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Life can't be brought back to life, and death can't be resurrected. It's not the ultimate in love."
Lu Ze asked, "Mingle, do you think Du Liniang will be resurrected?"
"Yes! Definitely!" Mingle nodded vigorously.
"Let's say we will do it." Lu Ze looked at the sky and wiped her crying face with a handkerchief, "It's getting late, I'll be here today, and I'll tell you the story tomorrow, how?"
"But… "
Mingle looked at the sky, it was indeed a little late, it was time for lunch.
She was a little afraid to go back to Ni's house and face so many people when she went back. Ah Zhan also blamed her.
"It's boring to listen to the story all at once." Lu Ze smiled dotingly. "Tomorrow morning, come here early. It's boring to go to court alone. If you have Mingle with you, boredom will become more interesting."
"Yeah." Mingle nodded obediently, "Tomorrow I will definitely come over early to accompany the emperor."
Mingle waited for a long time when he returned to Ni Mansion, but before the news of the opening of the meal, Jin Xi asked the royal chef brought from the palace to cook a few hot dishes in the small kitchen.
Mingle was eating when Ni Zhan walked in.
Mingle saw that his frown deepened and his expression became more serious.
Seeing the delicate dishes in front of Ming Le, Ni Zhan sat down silently.
Now, because Mingle is still ill, how can she eat
After thinking about it, Ni Zhan still said: "Mingle, I know there must be a misunderstanding between you and your mother, but Jin Fuqi is sick with her mother, and he beat his third sister-in-law. It's not right. Now that my mother is still ill, we are not right. As a child, you have to be filial to your mother. I just begged my mother for a long time, and my mother agreed that she will forgive you as long as you drive Jin Fu away, kneel down and serve tea to her to admit your mistake and promise to help the third brother find an official position. "
Mingle's hand holding the chopsticks trembled faintly, "Azhan, why don't you believe me? Mother is really not sick, she is lying to you. They are all lying to you."
"I know you have been wronged, but after all, mother is mother, we are children, we can only be filial to her."
Ming Le bit her lip and did not speak, she was also a dignified person.
She really wanted to believe that Ah Zhan believed in her, but she could see it now.
Ah Zhan's eyes were filled with peace of mind, only disbelief.
"Mingle, now I have been begging my mother for a long time before she agreed to this method, and I have no choice. One is you and the other is my mother. You are all my favorite people."
