Chapter 169 Treatment of "His Royal Highness"
King Huaiyang's great cause of rebellion had been carefully planned for more than ten years, but it was only a matter of a moment before he fell short. He didn't even last an hour from his actions to his defeat.

And when his body fell off the horse, the capital was still under lockdown.And in Yurong Town, fifty miles southeast of the capital, Shangguanjing discovered that she and Xiao Jingheng were actually in prison in a different place.

The previous cell was in the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion, a small courtyard with a garden outside. Although she doesn't go out on weekdays, if she really wants to come out to pay a visit, she can still do it. Pick Wangfei or Concubine Xu in a good mood Apply every day, and most of her requests will not be rejected.

But now... Shangguanjing turned her head to look at the towering courtyard wall and the closed gate, sighed and said: "I suddenly felt that I was really blessed in the past and didn't know the blessing! I was in prison, but in Huaiyang The treatment in the palace is much better than here. Those outside... say they are guards, but they are actually jailers. They are afraid that we will run away. They even lock the door, why be so careful!"

Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng were in the courtyard with high walls where they stopped before.Lieutenant Zhang threw them into the courtyard, locked the gate, and rode away directly, but the sergeants in bright armor did not take them away. The courtyard was surrounded by three floors and three floors outside. , not even a fly can fly out.

"That's right! That's right!" Old man Feng stroked his white beard and ran to sit on the bench under the big tree in the yard: "This yard is old and small, where are you going?"

"As far as I'm concerned, it's better here." Xiao Jingheng took Shangguanjing's hand and led her to walk in: "There is no one else here except us, at least I don't worry about anyone harming you."

"Where are you eating and drinking?" Nanny Chen spread her hands together: "What about a change of clothes? When I came out, I didn't bring anything with me, and I don't know how long they want us to stay here. We have to live, right?"

"Mommy, here are some firewood and pots and stoves." Yingxia ran to the small kitchen-like room in the corner of the yard and looked around: "There is half a bag of rice, but the rest is gone."

"That's not enough." Nanny Chen looked the silent Mr. Qin up and down, swallowed the last half of the sentence and didn't say anything.Mr. Qin, who is as tall and burly as Cheng Yaojin, really looks like a person who can eat half a bag of rice at a meal.

"Oh! I've been careless!" Shangguanjing touched the top of her head, and pulled off all the few small pearl flowers on her head: "I should have brought all my belongings with me if I knew it! I saved so much for nothing!" Years of money, I don’t know who is cheaper! It hurts so much! Mother, give..."

Shangguanjing handed the pearl flower to Nanny Chen, and said, "Go and knock on the door, and let the guards at the door help us run errands and buy things."

But as soon as Mother Chen arrived at the door, before she could knock on the door, the door lock outside suddenly slammed. A soldier in armor pushed the door open, quickly threw a few cloth bags, and two chickens came in. It looks like there should be food in the cloth bag.

The soldier didn't say a word, and immediately shrank back when he dropped something. Luckily, Nanny Chen still had good legs and feet despite her age. She stepped forward two steps and squeezed into the middle of the door, preventing the soldier from closing the door.

"Who asked you to come out?" A questioning voice came from the door: "Go back quickly! The general has an order that you are not allowed to step out of the house."

"You think I love to come out." Nanny Chen replied unceremoniously: "How can you run away without leaving things like this. You come back, I have something to do, it doesn't matter if you don't let me go out, you come to run errands."

"We are sergeants, not servants in your family." The soldier replied in a stiff tone.

"It's fine if I don't use you," Chen Nanny replied happily, "Then you should find someone I can use. Do you think that you can start cooking with food? The water tank in the yard They are all empty, how can we live without water? Also, our lady, uncle and two gentlemen were brought here in such a hurry without even a change of clothes. I don’t know how long we will be locked here. People can make do with it, but Miss and Uncle cannot suffer such wrongs."

"What on earth do you want?" The soldier's impatient voice came from outside the door: "Speak up if you have something to do, and go back if you have nothing to do, don't make trouble for the master."

"This is for you." Nanny Chen did not hand over Shangguanjing's pearl flower, but took a wide silver bracelet from her hand and handed it out: "This is silver, and it weighs two taels. You Take it to the jewelry shop or the bank in the town to exchange the money, and then go to the tailor shop to buy some ready-made clothes, all of us need them. I can tell you that you are not allowed to go to the clothing store, our lady and uncle don’t wear other people’s leftovers clothes."

"Understood." The soldier stretched out his hand to take the money, but Madam Chen raised her hand: "What's the hurry, I haven't finished explaining. After buying clothes, you can find someone to come over and clean the water tank in our yard." If you are full, you want sweet well water, but not river water. In addition, if you go to buy some vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, you can’t let us cook with plain water, without even some salt? Then..."

"Are you finished?" The soldier interrupted Madam Chen roughly.

Nanny Chen looked up at him, her expression still calm, she reached out and handed over the bracelet, and finally said: "After finishing these things, how much money you can save is yours."

Money can turn ghosts around.The soldier nodded and put the silver bracelet back into his arms, his attitude improved a lot.He pushed Nanny Chen back into the yard, and while closing and locking the door, he said outside: "Wait!"

"Mommy!" Yingxia immediately grabbed Nanny Chen's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you give him the bracelet! It was a gift from the young lady. It's like something you love. You wear it every day and refuse to leave it." Why did you give it away so easily?"

"What's wrong with him?" Nanny Chen took out the handkerchief in her bosom and carefully wrapped Shangguanjing's beaded flowers: "This bracelet was given to me by Miss two years ago, and it should be spent on Miss. !"

The year before last, Nanny Chen turned 50 years old. Shangguanjing, a miser who was busy saving money, changed her stingy nature. In order to make her happy, she bleeds and took a lot of money, and asked Yingxia to secretly find a silver house and call Nanny Chen. Set of silver jewelry.

Nanny Chen liked this gift very much, but she always put those bird-head hairpins with tassels and hairpins inlaid with pearls in the box, and she was reluctant to wear them, but one of the pair of wide carved silver bracelets had the same pattern Combs her silver hair, Nanny Chen is never willing to leave her body.

"Mommy," Shangguan Jing also said, "Why don't you give him the pearl flower, your bracelet won't be complete without one."

 ——Here is the dividing line for fear of your impatience——
  well!In fact, the emperor still has something to say, but I am afraid that you will be impatient, so I will talk about Xiao Jingjing and Xiao Hengheng who were detained first.

  Thanks to Perak, Yun Qingqing for the daily dried fish! !
