Mr. Jing Guo felt disturbed by the news that the Crown Princess liked her son a few days ago. He didn't want to meet Yun Chi, so he didn't go to Zhao Zaifu's birthday banquet. His wife went, so naturally he didn't see Hua Yan .
Mrs. Lu regretted going this trip to death. She thought that she would have known better if she didn't go. Now she is more troubled than Jing Guogong.
Mrs. Lu came back and recounted what happened in the Zhao Mansion. After hearing this, Duke Jing almost jumped up in shock, "How can this Lin'an beauty be so bold to do such things? How dare she say that she will set us up?" Where and how will I meet His Royal Highness in the future?"
Mrs. Lu sighed, "She said that she likes Ling'er, which has nothing to do with Ling'er, and has nothing to do with Duke Jing's mansion. It's her own business, so we don't have to bear the burden."
Jing Guogong retorted, "How is this possible?"
Mrs. Lu nodded, "Yes, how is it possible?"
Duke Jing said angrily, "Where is that rebellious son?"
Mrs. Lu glanced at him, and couldn't help saying good things for her son, "I saw this with my own eyes, and I really can't blame Ling'er, it's the princess. Actually, I've never seen such a woman."
Duke Jing scolded, "If he didn't go to the East Palace at night to meet her, how could he have caused such a disaster?" After finishing speaking, he pointed to Mrs. Lu and said, "You, a loving mother is a loser."
Seeing that he was about to lose his temper again, Mrs. Lu said dissatisfiedly, "You will say that I am kind. These years, your father and son have been fighting, and I didn't stop you from disciplining him. You can't control him, but you blame me."
Duke Jing choked, stared, and was speechless.
Mrs. Lu thought of something, and suddenly said helplessly, "I'm troubled today, but Princess Anyang told me in private that if there is such a woman who likes her son, she will risk her face, and she will go with him." Donggong robs people and takes them to her own home to be her daughter-in-law."
"What?" Duke Jing was stunned.
Mrs. Lu said honestly, "That's what she said. She still envied me and regretted it. She said that last year, if she knew that the affair was the news that Lin'an Huayan herself released because she didn't want to marry into the East Palace, she said I have to go to Hua's house in person for everything, but now, it's too late to regret."
Duke Jing slapped the table, "Princess Anyang is really the one appointed by the prince, how can she snatch it?"
Mrs. Lu was helpless, "Even if you want to grab it, you have to be able to grab it! I asked someone to inquire. Before Lin'an Huayan entered the capital, the crown prince ordered that everyone in the East Palace respect her as the crown princess, and she must not be neglected in the slightest." , even Steward Fu and Xiao Zhongzi dare not act presumptuously in front of her. It can be seen that they are really worried."
Duke Jing was even more troubled when he heard the words, and asked again, "What about the wicked son?"
Mrs. Lu shook her head, "I haven't come back yet. It is said that after Su Zizhan dealt with the incident of falling into the water, the two of them left Zhao's mansion without even having a banquet, and went out to the city to race horses. It's so late, they probably won't come back."
Duke Jing was angry and resentful, "He still has the time to race horses. Seeing him come back, I won't break his legs."
Mrs. Lu was speechless for a moment, and then said bluntly, "Since you were young, you have said this countless times, and you have done it countless times. When you do it, not only can you not hit his leg, but if he wants to run, You can't help him."
Duke Jing's beard was almost pissed off, he stared and said angrily, "Who are you aiming at?"
Mrs. Lu snorted, and said annoyedly, "No one is interested, you should think about how to deal with this matter."
Duke Jing said, "Everyone knows now. It spreads all over the capital today, and it will spread all over the world in a few days. When that rebellious son comes back, I'll ask him. Hey, what evil did I do in my previous life? such a thing"
Mrs. Lu thought that this made sense, so she didn't refute it.
After the lights of several houses were turned off in the middle of the night, the lights of the Phoenix West Garden in the East Palace were turned on again.
The Seventh Princess begged for nothing and stayed in the East Palace, and then snatched half of Huayan's bed, and she slept sweetly.
Huayan woke up in the middle of the night, but couldn't fall asleep anyway. She used to sleep well, and most of the time she was almost unshakable, but tonight, she found that she had insomnia.
She has insomnia, but there is someone who sleeps soundly beside her. This is really not a pleasant thing.
So, she hugged the quilt and sat for a while, got up and held the lamp in her hand, and pushed the seventh princess maliciously, "Wake up."
Princess Seven was soundly asleep, mumbled, and opened her eyes in a daze, "Sister-in-law Si, call me!"
Huayan looked at her, seeing the beauty under the lamp, she was still sleeping in spring, it was really seductive, she took a second look, then nodded, "I'm the one calling
you. "
Seventh Princess looked at her standing in front of the bed, rubbed her eyes, sat up, and asked in a daze, "Why is Sisao calling me?"
Huayan said, "It's almost dawn, I can't sleep, you can accompany me to the roof to watch the moon."
The Seventh Princess was stunned, and glanced out of the window, it was pitch black outside, she scratched her head, "Is there a moon outside?"
Hua Yan said with certainty, "Yes."
The Seventh Princess took a look at Ginger, rubbed her eyes again, and said, "Fourth Sister-in-Law, it's just past the time of birth, and it's the deepest time of night."
Hua Yan was dissatisfied, "Will you go or not?" After finishing speaking, she threatened, "If you don't go, I will send you back to the palace tomorrow, and I won't let you stay with me."
Seventh princess woke up, struggling to get rid of sleepiness, yawning and nodding quickly, "I'll go, go."
Huayan was satisfied, "Get dressed quickly, I'll go out to carry the ladder." After finishing speaking, she turned and left the back room.
The seventh princess lamented and wondered, what happened in the middle of the night? The fourth sister-in-law was sleepwalking. She quickly got dressed and chased out the door.
Huayan had already brought a ladder from the west wall and placed it on the eaves. Seeing Princess Seven come out, she lowered her voice and said, "Don't disturb others, I'll go up first, and you will climb up after me."
The Seventh Princess glanced at the sky, but she couldn't see her fingers. Only Huayan's clothes were made of high-quality materials, with a slight brilliance. She asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law, are you sleepwalking? It's dark and dark today." Well, there's no moon to see."
Huayan almost burst out laughing, and told the truth, "No, I can't sleep, so I drag you to stay with me, and come up with me to talk when there is no moon."
The Seventh Princess finally understood that the first night she lived here was the unlucky one whose dreams were disturbed, but she was the one who stayed there crying and had no choice but to be careful after Huayan climbed up. Climb up the ladder to the roof.
Although she has always been pampered and willful, she has never been on the roof. It took a lot of effort before I climbed up tremblingly, and seeing that Huayan had already sat on the room with her legs crossed leisurely, she carefully sat down next to her, for fear that someone would accidentally step on the slippery tile and fall to her death .
Hua Yan looked at her and asked with a smile, "I've never climbed the roof before."
Seventh Princess nodded, "No."
Huayan smiled and said, "People in the royal family, do you have very strict rules? I don't think you seem to live by the rules too much. And I have seen the fifth prince and the eleventh prince. They don't seem to be too disciplined when they set foot in the gambling house. "
The seventh princess shook her head, "Compared to the heirs of the major families in Beijing, the rules in the royal family are not the biggest. The Zhao family has the most rules, followed by the Mei family, and then the royal family. I was raised by my mother since I was a child. Beside me, after the mother and empress died, the prince and brother took good care of me. I was born stubborn and unruly, and her sisters were different from me. Among the princes, the eleventh brother loves to play, and he was born with the fifth brother and one mother , So, I often drag my fifth brother in and out of the gambling house. Most of the time, they are not for gambling, but to watch other people's excitement. Other people are not like them."
Huayan nodded and said with a smile, "Whatever you have done, you call yourself naughty."
The Seventh Princess wrung her fingers and said, "I contradict my grandmother and my father, I have a temper tantrum with my sisters and fight for things, I often run out of the palace to play, I like Lu Zhiling, I chase him and want to tell him that I like him."
Huayan rolled her eyes, "Is this considered naughty?"
The Seventh Princess was startled, and blurted out, "The emperor's grandmother and father both called me naughty, isn't that counted?"
Huayan sneered, "If you are being naughty, then what am I?"
Seventh Princess asked curiously, "What have you done?"
"Me." Huayan said with a smile, "I have been in the market since I was a child, either staying in gambling houses or going to brothels and singing houses. No. Before I was eight years old, I could still play in Lin'an. After I was eight years old, I went out to play around in Lin'an, fighting cocks and running dogs, doing everything."
The seventh princess couldn't believe it, "You are a woman, how can you do such a thing?"
Huayan reached out and tapped her forehead, "Look, you are in front of me, so small and out of line are not enough to look at."
The Seventh Princess nodded, and honestly felt that it was not enough to watch, she couldn't do it, "The people outside are sinister, how dare you be alone, are you not afraid of being trafficked? My fifth brother said that if I ran out of the palace indiscriminately again, I would not let people Follow, be careful to be trafficked someday."
Huayan smiled lightly, "I'm not afraid of being trafficked, sometimes I just want what I want."
Princess Seven was completely stunned.
