After two days like this, under the veiled congratulations of many Gonghou ladies who came to visit Beiweihou's house, Beiweihou's wife realized that everyone in the capital knew it! In addition to being annoyed, he had no choice but to call the third lady in front of him and scolded him severely.
"Sister-in-law, it's not my fault!" The third lady cried and said in a slightly sharp voice, "I'm not happy for my quality? I'm not the only one, why are you blaming me?"
"How dare you say it! That day, I told you everything, don't say it beforehand, even if you are sure, there is still a chance! You are better, just say it when you go out, and you are afraid that others will not know the same!" Madam was trembling with anger. No matter whether this happened or not, she would definitely be embarrassed. If the Queen listened to it, she would feel that the North Weihou Mansion was superficial, and even she was not happy with the quality. Really yellow.
The third lady stopped crying when she heard the words, and immediately turned cold: "Sister-in-law, even if I'm wrong about this, you can't teach me a lesson in the tone of reprimanding the concubine's room!" On the other hand, she just couldn't get used to Du Shi's proud face. Her husband is also the son-in-law of the old marquis. Why can she marry the prince and grandson because of her quality, but not her daughter
Not to mention that the Beiweihou Mansion has been flying and dogs jumping for days, a few days later, when Miss Mao Guogong entered the palace again, the Beiweihou Mansion was completely exploded. But it turned out that the purse given by the queen contained the jade card for entering the palace.
"The concubine of the Marquis of Beiwei has already married Cheng Wang, and he still wants to marry his daughter to the fourth prince. How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Mrs. Mao Guo said to Mrs. Yongchang Uncle.
"Isn't she afraid that the concubine is too smart to threaten the prince, so she rushed to marry him off? Now that it's better, she will shoot herself in the foot!" Mrs. Yongchang uncle laughed, "The relationship between our two families will be even stronger in the future. near."
"That's right, there will be even more reason to go to your house to play cards in the future!" Mrs. Maoguo also laughed. Uncle Yongchang was the queen's brother, and when Mrs. Maoguo married the fourth prince, even if the two were tied together together.
Today is because the peony flowers planted by Mrs. Dingnan Hou are blooming, and the ladies from various prefectures are invited to come and enjoy the flowers.
"Why didn't you see Sister Du?" Mrs. Dingnan Hou was a follower, younger than most of the ladies.
"She, I'm afraid she won't be going out in the next few days," Mrs. Yongchang covered her mouth with a veil and smiled, "Has the second imperial concubine returned to her mother's house recently?"
Mrs. Dingnanhou smiled and said: "There are a lot of things in her house, and I didn't call her today." Knowing that they wanted to inquire about the second prince, Mrs. Dingnanhou did not plan to say more about her own affairs. Sentences diverged.
Since discovering that Duofu can handle the affairs of the inner house by himself, Mu Hanzhang has gradually let go, and Jing Shao, who has tasted the sweetness, is even more extreme. Pause for a few days. And Duofu can only face a bunch of wolf-like stewards with wrinkled faces every day.
"Brother will definitely not walk at night, maybe he will arrive at the capital at night," Mu Hanzhang helped Jing Shao buckle on his wrist, and seeing Jing Shao's anxious look, he sighed, "Anyway, we will go after breakfast. ."
My brother came back today, just in time for Mu Xiu not to go to court. After returning from the southwest, he would definitely go to the south of the city. Jing Shao thought about going to the east of the city to take a look at the barren forest, but since he was still in the neighboring province yesterday, he will not return early today. Reaching out to help his princess straighten the tassel on her crown, Jing Shao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go after dinner."
"Then I'll go back to Beiweihou Mansion today, and my father sent a message to let me go back two days." Yesterday, because Jingshao slept during his afternoon nap, he slept for an afternoon and couldn't go back. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glared at Jing Shao again.
Jing Shao was stared at by his own princess, not knowing why, so he lowered his head and bit one of his ears.
"Well..." Mu Hanzhang hurriedly pushed him away, looked left and right, Fang heaved a sigh of relief, but fortunately Jing Shao drove all the maids out in order to enjoy dressing his own princess.
Jing Shao rode Xiao Hei to the eastern suburbs, easily bypassing the layers of rocks and miscellaneous trees, and entered the depths of the barren forest. Here is a group of soldiers holding hoes and hammers to level the land. There are only twenty or thirty soldiers, so the speed is very slow.
"My lord," Ren Feng saw Jing Shao coming, put down the big hammer and greeted him, "There are too few people, so we need to level out the land that can be demarcated, and I'm afraid it won't be finished by the end of the year."
"Don't worry," Jing Shao dismounted, climbed onto a high rock, raised his eyes and looked around, full of barren forest, "Don't move these trees." After saying that, he jumped off the rock and got on his horse again.
"Yes."
Looking around at the guards who bowed their heads to work, Jing Shao said solemnly: "If anyone leaks half a word of this matter, kill Wushe!"
Mu Hanzhang sent Jing Shao away and went to Beiweihou Mansion. When I entered the mansion, I found that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right. The housekeeper took him directly to Beiweihou's study, where his father, Mu Jin, was writing big characters with his brush strokes, and his powerful strokes seemed to penetrate the back of the paper. Mu Hanzhang looked down and saw a big "strong" character.
"What difficulty did father encounter?" Mu Hanzhang carefully looked at the direction of the word, and could see the struggle and confusion in the heart of the person who wrote it.
"What did you see?" Mu Jin looked up at him when he saw him reading his own words.
Mu Hanzhang narrowed his eyes: "Father has always been decisive, but this time he hesitated, but the stakes are very important."
Mu Jin put the pen in the pen wash and sighed: "You are smart since you were young, and you can see everything clearly. This time, you are greedy for your father."
"My son thought that when my father decided to marry his son to King Cheng, he had already made a decision," Mu Hanzhang raised his hand to roll up the words, and spread out a new piece of white paper, "The battle for the crown prince was originally A never-ending game, the way to have both peace?" He took a pen from the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and gave it to his father with both hands.
Mu Jin looked at it for a long time, then caught the pen that was handed in front of him. After a long time, he laughed and said, "Safety? Well said!" It's smooth and seamless.
The matter of choosing the prince and concubine this time, Beiwei Houfu and Maoguo Gongfu are completely enmity. The queen used this incident to slap Beiweihoufu in the face, in order to beat Maoguo who insisted on the way of moderation. male. Only then did Mu Jin understand that when the queen chose to be the concubine and asked for his second son by name, she had already planned to abandon the Beiweihou Mansion, but she couldn't see through it herself.
"I plan to officially raise Aunt Qiu as a side room next month," Mu Jin closed the pen and looked up at his second son, "The concubine of Prince Cheng's mansion is the direct daughter of the minister of the Ministry of War, you are the concubine, when there is someone higher The origin is."
Mu Hanzhang was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect Mu Jin to think about it for him, even though he knew that this was a way for the Duke of Northern Wei to express his position, he couldn't help but moved slightly, bowed and saluted: "Thank you father for being sympathetic, and my son will thank you first on behalf of Auntie. "
Xiao Hei ran too fast, and arrived at the long pavilion thirty miles south of the city in a short time. Jing Shao sat in the pavilion, weeding and feeding Xiao Hei in a bored manner. It was not until dusk that he saw a blue carriage slowly coming from a distance. come.
Jing Shao immediately rode on Xiao Hei and ran over, rushed to the front of the carriage, startling the driver, and the guard in front of the carriage pulled out his saber with a swipe: "Who is here... Your Majesty!"
Jing Shao waved his hand: "Why did you arrive now?"
"His Royal Highness is injured, I dare not walk too fast." The guard explained.
Jing Shao frowned, jumped on the carriage, and quickly got in. Seeing the situation inside, he was immediately full of anger: "Brother!"
Jingchen leaned against the wall of the car, and wrapped a white cloth around his shoulders until it reached his waist. When he saw Jingshao, he couldn't help frowning: "I told you not to pick me up, why don't you listen!"
