Xianggui

At this time, Changshun Street was bustling with lights like daylight and bustling with restaurants and brothels, but all other shops had closed.

The carriage went directly to the back street. Jiang Xi patted the back door of the study and said, "Open the door."

The old couple guarding the study saw that the princess was driving the car and quickly opened the door and invited them in.

Xun Xiang ordered as he walked to the side room, "Go to the restaurant to buy some food and come back."

Luo Er and several guards went to the restaurant to buy food. Xun Xiang ate in her wing, the two girls and Jiang Xi ate in the house, and the other guards ate in the yard.

In less than an hour, Prince Consort Xun came to the study in a hurry.

He had already heard what the messenger said about Dongyang's actions, and said angrily, "Dongyang is getting more and more outrageous."

Xun Xiang sent the people down and whispered to Xun Prince Consort, "Dad, something big happened in the court. The reason why I often go out is to deal with those things. The emperor's grandmother knew many things, so she banned them." A mother's feet, not wanting her to be taken advantage of.

"Dad, the matter has reached a critical stage. I want to go back to Ziyuan to collect some things. I don't want to go back to my mansion for a while."

She glanced at the surprised Prince Consort Xun, and then said, "Dad, help me protect the servants of Ziyuan. They are innocent. Don't ask anything, just keep my mother under guard."

Prince Consort Xun was very perceptive and guessed what was going on. Hearing that the queen didn't want Dongyang to be used, she also guessed that the big thing that happened might be related to the prince and princess's palace. Dongyang usually has the most contact with Xiyang, so there may be something wrong with Xiyang.

He sighed and said, "Dad is not good at pretending and doesn't want to know those secrets. Since the Queen already knows, my daughter has done it. Remember, safety comes first, no matter what happens, don't risk your life.

"Remember, after this is done, my daughter will stay away from the court. It is too dangerous. Let's go back to the house. Don't Dongyang want to see me? I won't go to the Yamen and let her see me every day.

"I'll leave after Xiangxiang finishes what he has to do. Your brother is older, and Xiangxiang has established himself in the capital. He can do better than his father... Well, I have endured it for more than ten years, and I don't want to endure it anymore. I am tired."

The last sentence sounded calm, but full of determination.

Xunxiang looked at her father-in-law, who was trying his best to be patient, and didn't know how to comfort him.

Everyone got up, and the father and daughter got into a carriage and headed towards Dongrong Street.

The sound of wheels and hooves made the quiet streets noisy.

The street patrol officer came over and saw the driver of Dongyang Princess Mansion, so he bowed and got out of the way.

After entering the corner gate, Xunxiang went directly to the second gate in a sedan chair.

Prince Consort Xun gave a few instructions to the porter and then took a sedan chair to Qijin Hall.

Xunxiang asked Yuhuan and Luoer to go to the back room to comfort Aunt Wang and Aunt Wei and let them recover in the yard.

She took the things she wanted to bring and led Yuhuan, Luo Er, and a team of guards to Ding Mansion.

In Qijin Hall, Dongyang was already lying down. My daughter hasn't returned home yet, and she is so angry that her chest hurts.

When the servants heard that Prince Consort Xun was here, he became happy again and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came. He sat up and asked, "Where is the Prince Consort?"

Yin Huan, who was on night duty, said, "The prince-in-law went to the east chamber to rest."

The east chamber is the study room of Prince Consort Xun in Qijin Hall. There is only a small couch for resting in it.

Dongyang's face turned cold, "Go and ask the Prince Consort, which song is he singing?"

Yinhuan came back after a while, mumbling for a long time without daring to speak.

Dongyang shouted sharply, "Say."

Yinhuan swallowed, lowered his head and said, "The Prince Consort said that Her Highness the Princess wanted him to come to Qijin Hall, so he came. He will not go to the Yamen anymore, so Her Highness the Princess can see enough."

Dongyang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood and swept the vase on the bedside table to the ground. Aunt Chai, who heard the commotion, ran over from the back room and advised, "Your Highness, the Prince Consort must be angry. The Prince Consort feels sorry for the Princess, and Her Royal Highness Princess also feels sorry for the Princess. Let's talk about it tomorrow and let the whole family talk things over." Come on, live in peace and harmony..."

Dongyang cried and said, "When did I not say it properly? I am useless. I have been manipulated by the prince's consort. Now even my daughter is stepping on my head, but my mother still wants to help them...

"The girl is sick, and the Prince Consort is waiting day and night. Even the father, the queen, and the queen come to visit her in person. When I am sick, my husband doesn't care about me, and my children don't care about me. I am the direct princess and was born in the middle palace. I am not as good as someone who grew up in the countryside. Girl..."

The more Dongyang talked, the angrier he became. He fell on the bed and cried loudly. He also missed Xunfeng who didn't know where he was even more.

It was already late when Xunxiang arrived at Ding Mansion.

Ding Zhuang was in He County, Ding Lichun and Ding Liren were not at home. Only Ding Zhao and Zhang were at home.

They were shocked when they got the news, thinking that something big had happened to Xun Xiang, and quickly got up to greet him.

Xunxiang entered the main courtyard.

Seeing her parents running out in disheveled clothes, Xun Xiang's nose felt sour, she walked over and hugged Ms. Zhang and said, "Mom, dad, I miss you."

Ding Zhao said anxiously, "Xiangxiang, what happened?"

Xunxiang only talked about the conflict with Dongyang, "I'm so sleepy and want to sleep."

Ding Zhao's intuition was that it wouldn't be that simple, but it was too late now and he had to wait until tomorrow.

He said, "Xiangxiang goes back to Zixuan and has a rest. If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhang still wanted to accompany her, but Xunxiang said, "Mom, I'm tired and want to rest alone."

Ding Zhao and Zhang couldn't sleep either, so they leaned on the bedside and sighed.

"Oh, I wish I had known better than to enter the capital. Those big houses look beautiful on the outside, but... they are complicated on the inside."

Zhang wanted to say "dirty but tight", but couldn't say it.

Ding Zhao sighed, "If you don't go to Beijing, why don't you go to Beijing? Fortunately, Xiangxiang is so big. If she marries her husband's family in a few years, that woman won't be able to find anything if she wants to."

Mrs. Zhang suddenly became interested, "Master, what kind of son-in-law do you think Xiangxiang should find?"

Ding Zhao said, "I have taken a fancy to one of them, Prince Sun. He is good-looking and has a good family background, and he has a decent job. He also knows Xiangxiang well. Cousin Dong said before going on the expedition that Prince Sun is the best candidate. If there is a problem in the middle, If something goes wrong, choose Mr. Qiu."

Mrs. Zhang nodded first, but after hearing about Qiu Wangzhi, she shook her head and said, "Although Mr. Qiu is good, he is much older than Xiangxiang, and he has also married a daughter-in-law. Xiangxiang married him as his stepmother, and she also wanted to be a stepmother. ,not good."

Ding Zhao said, "Cousin Dong grew up overseas, and his cognition is different from ours. He thinks that the most important thing is for a man to have good character and ability, and to be good to his wife..."

"But I think Mr. Qiu is gloomy and scary, and he doesn't have a good temper."

"Cousin Dong knows people well. If he thinks Mr. Qiu is good, Mr. Qiu can't be wrong."

It was already early when Xunxiang woke up, and Mrs. Zhang was sitting on the bedside looking at her.

"Are you hungry? The tofu skin buns in the morning were made by my mother."

Xunxiang hugged Ms. Zhang and acted coquettishly, then let Ms. Zhang help her dress herself.

Xunxiang pretended not to see the doubt in Zhang's eyes and hurriedly finished breakfast and went to the palace.

Seeing Eunuch Li standing behind Queen Ye, Xunxiang felt particularly annoying.

It's time for him to disappear. (End of chapter)
