Old Princess Mu is slightly fatter, with a round face, graceful and luxurious, and looks kind and kind.
Zhu Yi knew in her heart that Xie Ying didn't bring her to see the grandmother, old Princess Mu, after so many days, there must be something inside. She guessed that the relationship between the old princess and Xie Ying was not too close.
She turned her attention to Xie Ying's mother again.
Concubine Lian sits on the right of old concubine Mu, and she has some pictures with Xie Ying. She is wearing a snow-white silk tunic dress, covered with a bright blue lacquer-gold robe with branches and flowers. Nobile, with a pair of almond eyes flowing like horizontal waves, a bright face and a graceful figure, if she hadn't already known that Xie Ying was her son, she really wouldn't be able to tell her age.
But from time to time, she pulled the center of her eyebrows slightly, showing a tired and lazy attitude, as if she didn't have a good rest last night.
Zhu Yi felt that among the people she came into contact with, this Princess Lian should be the most beautiful one.
Concubine Lian looked at Zhu Yi casually, looked at her for a moment, and then looked at her son.
Xie Ying found that Princess Lian was looking at him, glanced at him twice, and then looked away.
The maidservant had already brought over a red-lacquered tray, and Zhu Yi took the five-bat red-glazed teacup from the tray and stepped forward.
Old Princess Mu took the tea with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but think that this Zhu Yi was trained by the palace after all. Her steps are graceful and her gestures of serving tea are graceful. If the face and figure of the other party are suitable for being a concubine, But her temperament and demeanor can be called the demeanor of a regular wife.
He said: "Okay, it's A Ying's blessing for the princess to marry into Xie's family. A Ying is not young anymore, so I hope he will get married and spread out, waiting to have a grandson."
As he spoke, someone rewarded Zhu Yi with a pair of white jade unicorns, a pair of twined grapes with golden handles, and a study room engraved with fish patterns. Kirin gives birth to children, while grapes and fish have many children, both of which are good meanings.
Zhu Yi naturally thanked Princess Mu.
King Wei Ning didn't say much, and directly gave Zhu Yi a greeting. Even the princess is the same.
However, Zhu Yi secretly discovered that even the princess and King Wei Ning did not seem to have a good relationship, and she never even glanced at King Wei Ning the whole time. Not just indifference, but even resentment. This made Zhu Yi quite curious.
From now on, there is no need for her to offer tea, just to meet each other and recognize a familiar face. In order to prevent people from their own family from going out and not knowing each other.
Old Princess Mu seemed to like Zhu Yi very much, and introduced her family members one by one. The first one was her current uncle Xie Shao.
Zhu Yi naturally followed Xie Ying and called "Big Brother".
Xie Shao nodded in return. Although they are younger siblings, they are still called princesses according to the etiquette system.
When the two of them communicated, Old Princess Mu carefully studied Xie Shao's expression. She knew that Xie Shao had been Zhu Yi's bodyguard for several years. I haven't seen Zhu Yi before, so I don't know that she was born like this, but now that I see someone, I can't help worrying that Xie Shao also has some thoughts about Zhu Yi.
The population of the Xie family is simple, and the Wei Ning Palace only needs such a few masters. Elder Concubine Mu also has a son, King Pingjun, but there are only six people in that family, the county king and his wife plus two sons, a daughter and a daughter-in-law. Qiping Junwang also has a county palace, and the two families get together during the holidays, so there is no need to worry about getting along.
The recognition of relatives ended quickly, and the process was relatively easy, which made Zhu Yi heave a sigh of relief.
When there was no one around, Old Princess Mu said to King Wei Ning: "Even Ah Ying is married, but Ah Shao, the elder brother, lags behind. Although A Ying is married by order, it doesn't matter. But Ah Shao is really old. It's not too young, and I don't see him offering to marry a girl. Tell me, does he have a heart for this Xizhen..."
If it weren't for Xie Shao who sometimes stayed overnight at Jiuzhai Residence, where there was a qin girl who only performed arts, Xie Shao was the only guest in the curtain. Old Princess Mu almost wondered if her elder grandson was sick or because of Long Yang's goodness.
King Wei Ning was taken aback for a moment. In fact, in his opinion, his two sons have always had some problems with men and women. He said: "I intend to let Shao'er marry Gu Nanci. What does mother think?"
Old Princess Mu thought for a while, and said, "Okay. Since you have an idea, you should act on it quickly, otherwise it will be too late when Weizhou also starts fighting."
King Wei Ning nodded and said yes.
After Xie Ying sent Zhu Yi back to Lushiyuan, she left the palace.
Zhu Yi was shocked by the dowry list, bride price list and gift list that were delivered to her. The dowry list is okay, Han Yunrong insisted on returning the betrothal gift to his younger sister, and Xie Ying handed over the wedding gift list to Zhu Yi.
The master and servant looked at the long list and were too surprised to speak. Zhu Yi's first thought was that she could prepare a dowry for Zhu Chuo.
Zhu Yi has never managed so much wealth before, not only objects, but also shops and farms, all need to be managed. She used to have no worries about food and clothing, and she also had the princess's salary, so she didn't really need to worry about much. But now... Xie Ying opened a large warehouse for her, found a few capable managers to listen to her arrangements and dispatches directly, and invited the accountant to come over and teach her how to read the accounts.
Zhu Yi spent the whole afternoon with the female gentleman in the study, studying very hard. After sending her husband away, she thought that she would not be able to accompany Zhu Chuo all day today, so she went to live in the moon.
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Chuo was drinking alone at dinner, he accidentally got himself drunk, and fell asleep in the evening.
"Stupid guy." Zhu Yi sat beside Zhu Chuo's bed, looked at Zhu Chuo who was sleeping like a piglet, and couldn't help poking her face with his fingers.
She returned to the main hall, but Xie Ying hadn't come back yet. Because Xie Ying had already told her that if he didn't come back when it was time for dinner, he didn't have to wait for her. Zhu Yi ate the meal by himself.
She is also tired today, and she was tossed and tossed for most of the night last night, so far she has no time to catch up on sleep, so she also plans to take an early rest.
Walking into the dressing closet that Xie Ying set up for her, Zhu Yi felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the mirror. She felt that the mirror was magical, and she seemed to be able to see the scene reflected in the mirror last night...
The man and woman on the beauty's couch entangled each other, she didn't know how many poses Xie Ying posed to his liking, but the man didn't think it was enough, and later he hugged her in front of the mirror.
The intensity made Zhu Yi afraid of breaking the mirror, but he forced her to look at the intimate picture of a man and a woman in the mirror, as well as her own shameful expression moaning at that time. Zhu Yi felt that it was not an exaggeration to describe Xie Ying as a beast when there were only the two of them.
Wen Yan was surprised to find that the princess who was sitting on the couch waiting for Mianfeng to take her coat was silently blushing.
When Xie Ying returned to Lushiyuan, what she saw was Zhu Yi who had changed her underwear and was lying on the bed.
But Zhu Yi was just taking a nap, she still wanted to wait for Xie Ying to come home so that she could sleep peacefully, so she said very naturally: "Are you back?"
Xie Ying replied yes. He lifted up his robe and sat on the edge of the bed, looked sideways at her and said with a smile: "It's only this early, and Yiyi can't wait to go to bed and wait for her husband. It can be seen that Yiyi was very satisfied with my performance last night?"
"You're talking nonsense." Seeing him leaning over, Zhu Yi put his hands on his chest and said, "I want to go to bed early today, and you should go to bed early too."
Xie Ying held her hand in his palm, and stopped teasing her, but asked Zhu Yi about seeing the steward and accountant today. Zhu Yi answered Xie Ying's questions one by one, and after listening to his instructions, his heart was moved, but he did not express his thanks to him. Because she knew he disliked her thanking him.
Zhu Yi then asked about Zhu Ning and Rong Ting.
Xie Yingdao: "In the name of the imperial court, Ruan Yu called the Rong family's rebellious officials and traitors, disrespecting the new emperor, and ordered the king of Qi and the general of Baoding to lead the army to conquer the Rong family army in western Liaoning. Rong Ting is on the battlefield every day. As for Zhu Ning, it should be with Rong Ting together."
He added: "I'll write to you tomorrow and ask more clearly."
Upon hearing such news, Zhu Yi's heart ached: "Then eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law will be fine?"
Xie Ying comforted: "Yiyi, don't worry, it is impossible for the Qi Palace and Baoding Commander-in-Chief to come to the Rong family for real, at most it's just a show. What I'm afraid of is that Ruan Yu will collude with the Tatars and make the Rong family suffer from enemies." Ruan Yu Sending troops to attack the Rong family's army was not all because of Zhu Ning, but also because the Rong family itself was a big threat besides the Xie family and the Yan family.
And if the Tatars really invaded the south, he and Rong Ting had already agreed.
Since the three sisters separated from the capital, Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo, who went north to Luling, are now enjoying a happy relationship with their sweetheart, but Zhu Ning, who stayed in the capital, is not the case.
Today, Zhu Ning and other Rong family members live in the Rong family's mansion in western Liaoning. The men are busy with military affairs, especially Rong Ting, as the new leader of the Rong family, can't stay in the forward camp. Zhu Ning has also died Haven't seen him for several days.
"Fourth sibling, do you know about Princess Yong'an?"
Zhu Ning was sitting by the stream in the garden basking in the sun, when she heard two female voices behind the flower stand, they were Zhu Ning's two sisters-in-law, one was the head of Leping County, and the other was General He Song, the capable general of the Rong family. The first daughter He Siwen.
In the past, Zhu Ning lived in the Princess Mansion, her own world, and never had the trouble of dealing with her sisters-in-law, but now the Rong family's female relatives are all in a big garden, so they will inevitably meet each other frequently.
He Siwen asked, "What's the matter with sister-in-law?"
Hearing the two siblings mentioning herself, Zhu Ning listened silently to what the other said.
Just listen to Leping County Lord said: "I heard that Princess Yong'an was brought into the palace by the regent this time, and she has already lost her virginity."
When Zhu Ning heard this, her mind was buzzing, but He Siwen was surprised and said: "No way? Second sister-in-law, are you telling the truth? The regent is so courageous? The eldest sister-in-law is also a princess after all, how dare he deceive the king?"
"It's true. Now that a child in the Zhu family is being treated as the puppet of the king regent, what kind of princess is the sister-in-law? Besides, fourth sibling, you are young, you don't know that the king regent planned to marry the sister-in-law, but the sister-in-law fell stupid If she is gone, they won't want her anymore. But the relationship between sister-in-law and the regent is still there, how do you know... it wasn't with her permission?"
He Simwen opened her eyes wide in shock, excited to hear this kind of gossip, and said: "Then, uncle, you actually took the risk to get her back?"
He Siwen is not afraid of Zhu Ning, just like Leping County Lord said, Zhu Ning used to be noble, but now, both of their families are working for the Rong family, Zhu Ning has nothing to rely on.
As for the county magistrate of Leping, she had already proposed to her family that she wanted to marry Rong Ting, but who knew that Rong Ting would rather marry a fool than her, so she could only retreat and marry Rong Yan, the second son of the Rong family. In the past, Zhu Ning was a princess, so she didn't dare to make arrangements, but now the phoenix that landed is not as good as a chicken, and Rong Ting is already tired of Zhu Ning, why doesn't she take the opportunity to step on her feet
The Leping county magistrate pretended to be condescending and smiled: "She is still the daughter-in-law of the Rong family after all, and she has her status."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zhu Ning standing in front of them. He Siwen was startled by the sudden extra figure, but the Leping county lord just froze her smile. She saw Zhu Ning here, so she purposely said it to spoil her, but she didn't expect Zhu Ning to hear such ugly words, and actually Dare to stand up.
Zhu Ning stared at the two of them, and said, "Le Ping, you also know that I am still the daughter-in-law of the Rong family, and I have a place in my name. So you just slandered me so casually? You are not afraid of letting Rong Ting know that it will damage the relationship between the eldest and the second wife." harmony?"
The Leping county lord was just about to say that just saying a few words about you can damage the harmony between the first and second families
But Zhu Ning said again: "Now is the time when the war is tense, Rong Ting and Rong Yan have their own responsibilities in the front, if they have a rift and make the war change, can you afford the consequences?"
Perhaps it was because Zhu Ning's tone was too solemn, or maybe it was because of Zhu Ning's long-term coercion as a princess. In front of her, the previous high-spirited Leping County Lord and He Siwen did not dare to make more noise.
After Zhu Ning finished speaking, she turned and left. He Siwen was a little worried at this moment: "Second sister-in-law, you think sister-in-law won't tell uncle what we said?"
The county magistrate of Leping did not speak.
When Zhu Ning returned to her room, she no longer had the momentum just now, and just sat in a chair in a daze.
Rong Ting was in charge of transporting the emperor's body back to Beijing. Although he ordered someone to protect Zhu Ning who was hiding in Tianbao Temple early, he still asked Ruan Yu to find her first.
Regardless of whether Ruan Yu is still in the pure place of Buddhism, he wants to forcibly defile Zhu Ning. Zhu Ning still can't forget that nightmare, but luckily the little emperor broke in rashly in the end and saved her from disaster.
Immediately afterwards, her little days came again, but Ruan Yu didn't succeed anyway. Then Rong Ting arrived in Beijing, rescued her, and led his army northward with her. Even after a few days, she still felt sick and terrified whenever she thought of that day.
At this time, Rong Ting was reading the letters presented by his subordinates, one of which was written by Ruan Yu, which wrote: "Rong Ting, Your Majesty forgive me, and wait for the return of the Rong family. You only need to offer Princess Yong'an, and the king will be happy." I bestow upon you glory... Did the princess tell you that she and this king have already gone to the mandarin dream together. This king really likes the little red mole on A Ningyu Peak."
The deputy general beside Rong Ting saw the sudden change of expression on the other side, which was a sign of extreme anger. The Huangshi paperweight on the case was broken in the corner of the tent. Rong Ting grabbed the letter paper in his palm and tore it into pieces, got up After finishing the tent, he pulled out the long spear on the weapon rack and waved it like thunder and wind, still puzzled by the evil fire in his heart, he pulled his horse and jumped up...
When Rong Ting returned to the Rong family mansion, Zhu Ning had already fallen asleep. A small oil lamp was still lit in the room according to Zhu Ning's habit, and he sat by the bed and looked at her sleeping face. The man's hand next to Zhu Ning's cheek gradually clenched into a fist. He leaned down, engulfed the other's lips and tasted it softly, and quickly put his tongue in it dissatisfied.
Zhu Ning hummed softly in her sleep, and Rong Ting stepped back quickly. Seeing the tenderness she showed for him in the dream, my heart moved.
"Ah Ning." He called her softly, and brushed away her messy forehead hair. Ever since she was cured by Gu Nanci, she was no longer his little girl. But he was even more fascinated, because this was Princess Yong'an who had been enshrined in his heart like a goddess for many years.
He knew that it would be difficult for Zhu Ning to wake up when she was fast asleep. Like a demon, she stretched her hand in from the hem of her middle coat, covering it with the softness he hadn't touched for a long time, and was reluctant to leave. Rong Ting looked at the shape of his hands propped up in Zhu Ning's shirt, and his breath became thicker.
