Hearing that his tone was not quite right, Ji Man looked over from where he was, and there was a cloak hung on the screen, made of silver fox fur, embroidered with four-clawed golden dragons, very precious.
Slightly sighed, this cloak has nothing to do with her, it was the prince who came to greet Concubine Nie this morning, and accidentally broke a piece of the cloak. Concubine Nie knew that she was good at sewing, so she gave it to her to make up.
But Ning Yuxuan didn't think so, who Zhao Tuo was, he knew better than anyone else. When I saw this cloak here, I had some bad associations in my mind.
"Are you very close to the prince?"
Ji Man said seriously: "This needs to be explained clearly. The cloak was brought by Concubine Nie and asked me to mend it. It has nothing to do with the prince himself, and I am not familiar with him."
Ning Yuxuan hummed, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "Your embroidery is indeed good, but there are so many people in the palace, the imperial concubine doesn't need to treat you like a girl."
It's the same as she said it on purpose. Ji Man thinks it's better not to argue with this person, otherwise he will be the only one who will die of anger.
"Your Majesty has had enough sitting, let's go back to accompany Madam earlier." Ji Man smiled considerately: "You can just go through the motions here, servant girl, and servant girl will never say a word in front of the old lady and concubine, only boast Hello, Lord Hou, don't worry."
Mo Yuhou's face darkened, and he looked at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of needles: "You are promising, you used to want me to stay longer, but now you want me to leave quickly."
"People will always change." Ji Man smiled lightly: "How stupid are you to be infatuated with someone who doesn't love you all your life? Master Hou walks slowly, the road outside is slippery, let the slaves support him more."
Ning Yuxuan didn't know what to say, so he flicked his sleeves angrily and went out to listen to Yuxuan. But within two steps, he met the prince.
Zhao Tuo smiled coquettishly: "Master Hou just greeted the old lady?"
Ning Yuxuan stopped: "Isn't the prince doing homework in the mansion? Why are you here again?"
Zhao Tuo rubbed his nose and smiled: "I entered the palace early in the morning and told the people below that I was doing my homework. You also understand those tricks, otherwise everyone would think that I, Zhao Tuo, is a dandy prince who doesn't know how to work hard."
Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows and remained silent, but the prince was in a good mood and said: "It's just a good time to meet you here, take out that silver fox fur cloak for me, and let's go to the Spring Breeze Tower."
The spring breeze is ten miles on Yangzhou Road, it is not as good as rolling up bead curtains. As the selling gold cave in the capital, the girls in the Chunfeng Building are all understanding and understanding one by one, which is fascinating. Ning Yuxuan is not a person of pure heart and asceticism, and often goes to sit at the invitation of others. I'm not in a good mood today, and I thought it would be good to relieve my worries, so I agreed.
He turned around and took out the prince's silver fox fur cloak in person. Zhao Tuo put it on her body, and her red phoenix eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile: "Not to mention, this skill is really better than the number one embroiderer in the capital."
Caressing a blooming lotus flower at the corner of the clothes, the prince smiled dazzlingly: "It is Sang Yu's handiness, tearing such a big piece, I think this cloak is going to be useless, but she embroidered a lotus flower on it to block it." gone."
The silver cloak, with an elegant lotus flower blooming in the corner of the clothes, compared with the golden dragon with claws and claws, it has a different feeling.
There is a saying that goes, I rule the world for you, and I only wish to protect your palm as a flower.
Ning Yuxuan's face was gloomy and ugly, and he snorted coldly and said: "The good-looking golden dragon cloak, with a nondescript lotus flower on it, is almost useless. It's rare that the crown prince still thinks she is dexterous."
The prince laughed loudly: "Didn't you say that you hate Nie Sangyu the most? Why does this tone sound a bit bitter and jealous?"
"If you want to leave, then go quickly." Ning Yuxuan flicked his sleeves and stepped into the sedan chair.
Seeing that he was annoyed, the prince laughed muffledly, followed him into his sedan chair, and went out of the palace with him.
In the Spring Breeze Building, the dancing girl hires Tingting, and sings softly: "There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees, and you don't know if your heart pleases you."
The crown prince and Mo Yuhou were sitting in the best private room, and the officials in the Chunfeng Tower who heard the news were all toasting attentively. Without disclosing the identities of the two, they are only called the second master of the prince and Lord Moyuhou Ning.
"Second Master came out wearing this cloak, you still have to be more careful." Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Rites looked at the Prince, and said in a low voice: "It's not peaceful outside, Second Master is a valuable person, so you should be more careful."
Zhao Tuo drank two glasses of wine, but kept holding the lotus in his hand, and said: "I like this cloak, so I don't want to take it off."
Ning Yuxuan glanced at him.
The prince's gaze met him, and he said with a smile: "Look, the master said he likes this cloak. In the eyes of your Lord Ning, are you breathing fire? Just like a jealous woman."
The adults from the six parts all smiled awkwardly, how dare they answer yes, even though Mo Yuhou's face looked really ugly.
"Second Master should also be more careful." Ning Yuxuan didn't drink, and said calmly: "There is a limit to everything, and she is not someone you should provoke."
The prince paused, held the wine glass and approached Ning Yuxuan and said, "Be honest with me, do you also like that person now? You are not very angry now because you are talking about how bad she is. ?”
Ning Yuxuan was indeed very angry, but he didn't know why he was angry. Nie Sangyu and the prince were absolutely impossible to have any relationship, but he felt uncomfortable seeing the prince holding the lotus.
"I don't like her, I didn't before, and I don't now." Mo Yuhou replied, then raised his glass and said, "There are thousands of beautiful women in the world, we can only see if we can, but we really can't just depend on whether we like her or not."
"You're right, so you're still married to Wen Wan?" Zhao Tuo was a little drunk, his eyes were full of confusion.
Ning Yuxuan smiled slightly: "Wen Wan has to be taken care of by the Crown Princess to enter the door of my Marquis Mansion. If Wen Wan has a body in the future, she will have to ask the Crown Princess to give her a name."
The prince finally smiled with satisfaction and spared him.
Ning Yuxuan sighed softly, every sentence was full of darkness, and it was really tiring to say it. Suddenly, I miss the story Sang Yu told, there are good guys and bad guys there, clear and simple.
Two days later, Ning Yuxuan arranged a very serious honor guard and went to the palace to welcome the old lady back.
This farce finally came to an end, and Ji Man was really reluctant to leave before leaving. There is Concubine Nie in the palace, and the food is very good. She doesn't need to intrigue, just take care of the old lady every day.
But there is no way, the old lady still wants to go back to make Wen Wan look good, and she can't stay in the palace alone.
Wen Wan knelt down at the door to greet her with an uneasy expression, and Qian Lianxue and Qi Siling were also there. Ji Man helped the old lady get out of the car, saw the old lady asked Qian Lianxue a few words about her body, and then went straight into Hou's mansion.
Wen Wan was still kneeling, her face turned blue and white. Ning Yuxuan got off the horse, helped her up personally, and led her inside.
This embarrassment was a bit big, and the old lady also made it clear that she didn't want to make Wen Wan feel better. Originally, he wanted to secretly hand over the account management to Sang Yu, but now he doesn't care about anything, and wants Wen Wan to hand over the account book to Ji Man in front of the whole family.
"Old madam, this is inappropriate." Qi Siling stood up and said: "Madam is also the main wife, and there is nothing serious about her body, how can I let a concubine take care of the account?"
The old lady said with a serious face: "The accounts in the backyard must be clear and clear. There were several places in the account book given by Wen Wan last month. I asked her where the two hundred taels of silver went. She can't tell. How can such a mistress manage the accounts? Sang Yu is careful and generous, and everyone has seen her performance in the past few months. I think she is perfect for managing the accounts. "
Wen Wan stood aside, biting her lip, unable to speak. Her father was a good gambler. In order to pay off his gambling debts and give her a clean family background, he had already sold the Wen family's house and lived in an inn. As a daughter, how could she see her father in such desperation? Of course they helped.
The Hou's family has a great career, and thought that these two hundred taels could cover it up, but they didn't want to be found out by the old lady.
This matter was her fault, so she lowered her head and stopped talking, she only hoped that Yu Xuan could protect her, and at least not let Nie Sangyu ride on her head.
But Mo Yuhou thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay."
Wen Wan was shocked, and looked at him in disbelief, but the latter just held her hand, looked at Nie Sangyu and said, "The last time I entered the palace, the emperor also praised Sangyu, saying that she is much more sensible now. For the sake of saving face, let me restore her position as the main wife."
The old lady's eyes lit up, but Wen Wan's face was pale, and her fingernails were dug into Ning Yuxuan's palm.
Ji Man didn't even raise her head, if Mo Yuhou abolished Wen Wan so easily, then Wen Wan wouldn't be called a heroine.
"But I didn't make a big mistake in thinking of being gentle, and Sang Yu didn't make great achievements, so I chose a compromise method, letting Sang Yu take the position of equal wife and take charge of the backyard account books, which is also an explanation to Concubine Nie."
The Ping Wife in this era is different from other dynasties. It is regarded as the first wife under the main family. They are not necessarily the sisters of the main room. It means attaching great importance to it. Once the main wife dies, the Ping wife will naturally become the second wife.
Ji Man felt that the emperor must have put pressure on Ning Yuxuan because he was hindering the noble concubine. Ning Yuxuan thought of such a way for Wen Wan's sake. Any help, might also be a cumbersome.
But Wen Wan didn't think of this, thinking of what Qi Siling said to her, Wen Wan only felt that Mo Yuhou might really have revived his old love for Nie Sangyu. He gritted his teeth and almost didn't cry.
"That's it, that's it." The old lady was in a good mood, seeing the gentle expression, she just felt happy. Sang Yu is the equal wife, so she has an account for Concubine Nie, and Sang Yu is in charge. She can once again hold the power of the Hou Mansion in her hands.
