Chapter 180 Forced Marriage (2)
Prince Ning thought for a while with the handwritten letter before asking: "Where is the princess?"

Immediately a servant reported: "Go back to the prince, the princess is cleaning up the new house for the third son in Jiaotai Garden."

Prince Ning said in a deep voice: "Please come here quickly." The servant responded and ran out. Not long after, Prince Ning hurried to Prince Ning's study.

"My lord, did you reply?" Prince Ning and Princess Ning hurriedly asked before entering the door.

"Rourou, I got the letter. I'll give one to the old lady and the eldest girl in the mansion. I've already been wronged to let the girl make Ze'er happy. It's even more inappropriate if I just send the housekeeper to send it to you. Are you going there in person? It also seems that we value this daughter-in-law very much?" Prince Ning asked with a frown.

Princess Ning immediately nodded and said: "That's right, my lord is right, I should have gone there in person, lord, you give the letter to me, and I will go there."

Prince Ning handed two letters to General Jianwei's mansion to his wife. Seeing that there was another letter on the table, Princess Ning couldn't help asking curiously: "My lord, is there another one?"

Prince Ning waved his hand and said: "That is for the emperor, this prince will enter the palace and present it to the emperor."

Princess Ning let out an oh, immediately took the letter and left the study, went back to her room and changed into the princess' formal attire, unfurled the guard of honor and went to General Jianwei's mansion.

The grandeur of the princess's trip is much greater than that of the Duke, but she saw red plain silk with painted clouds and dragon patterns as a step barrier, sixteen pairs of honor guards of various colors led the way, followed by four pairs of green peacocks and red flower fans, and then four Facing the red gauze palace lanterns, then the princess took the green-topped and gold-decorated phoenix sedan chair, followed by dozens of maids and mothers holding boxes, bowls, copper boxes, mirrors, and other things, and then 240 palace soldiers carried them. With a full sixty heavy dowry.Concubine Ning's marriage proposal was not only suspected of coercion, but also sincere.

The steward of the palace had already rode a fast horse to report to General Jianwei's residence.When Mrs. He heard that Prince Ning had come in person, she knocked over the cup in her hand in shock, and poured all the tea on the front of her skirt, turning the Xiang-colored skirt into dark brown.

"Wh... what, the princess... came in person..." Mrs. He was so nervous that she couldn't even speak smoothly.

Du Zhong who came to report hurriedly said: "Princess Ning and Concubine Ning came in person, and she will be at the gate of our mansion in two quarters of an hour."

"Hurry up, hurry up...call...ask your wife to come out to meet..." Mrs. He was at a loss for what to do, and she directly pushed the matter to her daughter-in-law, she was most afraid of seeing a nobleman.At this moment, she has no brains to think about whether her daughter-in-law can entertain Prince Ning and Princess Ning well.

Du Zhong saw that the old lady was as nervous as a hen, he secretly sighed in his heart, and said to himself: If the lady was still there, I definitely wouldn't be in such a panic!

Du Zhong had no choice but to go to Tangdi Courtyard to ask Mrs. Su to welcome and entertain Princess Ning. Mrs. Su wanted to take a chance, but she didn't dare to offend Princess Ning, so she could only agree with a cold face and wait for Du Zhong to leave. Afterwards, she turned around and ordered: "Hurry up and dress up the second and third girls carefully, and follow my wife to welcome Prince Ning and Princess Ning." This is a rare opportunity for the daughters to show up in front of the nobles, and Madam Su will certainly not let it go .

About two quarters of an hour later, the guard of honor of Princess Ning came to the gate of General Jianwei's mansion. Du Zhong had already arranged for people to cover the road with loess and pour water on the street, and spread a red carpet of tens of feet for the princess to step on. .

No matter how frightened Mrs. He was, she had to go out to greet her. Seeing that her daughter-in-law had only brought her second and third granddaughters, she asked in a low voice, "Why is there no Ruo'er?"

Mrs. Su didn't even write a draft when she lied, she just said indiscriminately: "I've already had someone tell me, who knows why I haven't come yet." In fact, instead of sending someone to inform Du Heng, she even ordered the people in the mansion not to let the news out. It was passed on that Du Heng had already visited Madam Liao at Jiren Pharmacy early this morning.

Mrs. He didn't have time to say anything else when she saw eight handsome young eunuchs running over, clapping their hands. Mrs. He and others hurriedly knelt down to greet her, and before there was another stick of incense, the princess's phoenix sedan chair stopped at Jianwei Before the gate of the General's Mansion.

Mrs. He brought her daughter-in-law, granddaughter and grandson to kowtow, and then Princess Ning said slowly, "Please get up, the palace is in such a hurry today, it's really abrupt to come to the house."

Mrs. He quickly bit the bullet and said: "Don't dare, it's because our ancestors have accumulated virtue that the poor family can welcome the concubine and empress."

Mrs. Su heard her mother-in-law's vulgar words, she couldn't help snorting, she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile on her face: "It's not a place to talk outside, please come to the humble house and have a cup of tea."

Princess Ning nodded and walked down the phoenix sedan chair slowly. After seeing that there were only two girls under ten years old coming out to welcome her, she asked lightly, "Why don't you see Miss Zunfu?"

Princess Ning's voice was faint, but Mrs. He and Mrs. Su could hear the strong displeasure. Mrs. He was terrified, but Mrs. Su was secretly happy, and she quickly replied: "Go back to the princess, The eldest girl in our mansion has gone out, she is the eldest girl, and the concubine is also a stepmother, the eldest girl never said where she went, and the concubine didn't dare to ask."

Princess Ning frowned. If she hadn't met Mrs. Su and Du Heng before, she would have believed this sentence, but what happened at Prince Ning's mansion that day, Princess Ning listened carefully After saying it again, she naturally wouldn't believe Mrs. Su.

"Old lady, I came to your residence today to discuss important matters, and there are two more letters to be forwarded to the old lady and the eldest girl. These are letters from General Du of your residence, so I would like to ask the old lady to send someone quickly. Please let the young lady go home." Princess Ning ignored Mrs. Su, the stepmother who abused her future daughter-in-law, and only looked at Mrs. He and said.

Mrs. He finally wanted to say something for her granddaughter, and she quickly responded: "Yes, I will send someone to look for it, the princess does not know, this granddaughter of Laoshen is a person who values ​​love and righteousness the most. The reason why I left the mansion today is because the nanny who has been taking care of her is seriously ill, and the old granddaughter came out to visit her."

Princess Ning smiled slightly when she heard the words: "Well, he is indeed a very kind and good boy."

Madam Su's face turned green when she heard this.Princess Ning has already mentioned this, how can she not guess that Princess Ning wants to hire Du Heng as her daughter-in-law?Hate, hate... Mrs. Su had unknowingly torn the handkerchief in her hand.

Mrs. He hurriedly ordered people to go to Jiren Pharmacy, and Du Zhong stepped forward to answer and ran down to make arrangements. It turned out that Du Zhong had already sent people to Jiren Pharmacy as soon as he got the news that Prince Ning was coming. Notified.
