Chapter 157: Wealth and Insurance (3)

"Then ignore it, just drive in the door. If anyone pesters you, just call out!"

"Yes, ma'am." A look of excitement flashed in Boss A's eyes, and he flicked his whip suddenly, urging the horse driving to speed up, and soon the carriage arrived outside the gate.

The two young men were about to run down the steps to take the reins, but they heard Boss A shout loudly, "Remove the threshold and go straight in!"

"Yes!" The two young men rushed to open the side door, and finally moved the half-foot-high threshold together.As soon as Boss A pulled the reins, the carriage was about to enter the side door, and an old woman standing beside the luxury carriage suddenly stopped her with a loud voice, "Wait! Our concubine is here, who is in the carriage, and still not coming down to see the ceremony? "

It's a pity that Boss A seemed to be deaf, and he drove the carriage steadily into the side door without any intention of stopping.

The old mother stomped her feet angrily, raised her skirt and ran to the door, just in time to see two servant girls helping a woman with a slightly protruding belly out of the car, so she shouted loudly, "There are no rules, my lord princess!" We're here, hurry up and open the middle door and kneel to welcome us!" Unfortunately, when the woman heard the words, she turned around and glanced at her before entering the Hanging Flower Gate.

It was the first time in her life that the old mama was so underestimated, and she was so angry that her hair stood on end.She was still cursing, but the driver of the carriage stepped forward and pushed her out of the side door, and replied with a smile, "This is the Dong family, not the palace, so don't go to the wrong place if you want to play prestige."

"You!" The old nanny held her breath in her throat, almost suffocating, and finally gritted her teeth and asked, "What about our son, didn't you say we're going out together?"

The coachman spread his hands and responded casually, "Oh, you are here to find the Shizi, why didn't you tell me earlier? The Shizi has entered the palace, you go and wait outside the palace gate, don't block the alleyway of my house." , he called two young men to close the door, and then wandered to the porter to drink tea.

The old mammy almost had her nose flattened by the door, and was so angry that her brain boiled, and steam came out of her ears.She also didn't care about her face anymore, she almost trotted back to the front of the car to recount what happened just now.Concubine Liu was so angry that she tore off the round fan in her hand, and said angrily, "Okay, okay, this is the good daughter-in-law he found for me! Hmph, before I entered the gate of the palace, I started to look at me, really... Very good!"

Liu Xiaozhen, who was sitting by the side, hurried forward to comfort her, "Auntie, maybe my cousin was also deceived by this woman, and I don't even know that she is so domineering and rude in private. Don't get angry, otherwise my cousin will be killed." In a hurry."

"Hmph, he only has this vixen in his heart, where is his mother?" Concubine Liu turned blue with anger, and said angrily, "We're not going anywhere, just wait here! I want to ask him, it's obviously a When did the emperor give the other courtyard to the palace a surname Dong?"

The old mother and Liu Xiaozhen looked at each other, neither of them dared to persuade them anymore, they lowered their heads, one was thinking about how to provoke the princess to vent her anger on her behalf, and the other was thinking about how to gain some advantage in this little fight.

Murong Huaide still doesn't know that his mother and daughter-in-law are fighting again, waiting for him to go back to be the referee.At this moment, he was dragging and cursing Princess Hongxia on the way to Shou'an Palace. Originally, he planned to seek the emperor's judgment, but it happened that today is the day when the emperor must go to Shou'an Palace every month to pay his respects, so Just a spoonful of it.

In the main hall of Shou'an Palace, it's a lively time right now.All the empresses and concubines were all dressed up in fancy dress, and they surrounded the empress dowager and the emperor with sweet smiles.This one talks about the good weather this year, and it is a bumper harvest year; the other talks about the empress dowager's skin getting whiter and tenderer, but she has hidden some beauty recipes and refuses to give them to the younger generations.The empress dowager and the emperor were coaxed into laughter, and they would reward some jewelry and clothing from time to time, provoking all the empresses and concubines to do their best, and their tongues were as bright as a lotus.

At such a lively and happy time, the little eunuch on duty outside the hall suddenly ran in to report that it was the prince of Zhongshan and Princess Hongxia asking to see him.

Hearing these words, others are fine with it, but the Queen Mother was the first to turn cold, and scolded her grandniece and granddaughter viciously in her heart.Fortunately, she has been in pain since she was a child, why doesn't this stupid girl have a brain?Didn't she explain it clearly yesterday afternoon? Although the son of Prince Zhongshan is also her grandson in name, he has no control over his marriage.Even if she could be the master, she would not risk the emperor's suspicion to fulfill their marriage.

Could it be that this stupid girl still didn't give up, and the two of them came together to beg for consent?

The emperor had some deep feelings in his heart, after all, the first time his nephew entered the palace, he begged him to make the peasant girl the concubine.But after hearing what the little eunuch said, he still couldn't help wondering, why did his nephew get mixed up with the empress dowager's grandniece again?

"Let them in." The emperor said, and the little eunuch trotted out immediately to deliver the message, leaving behind all the concubines who carefully looked at the faces of the queen mother and the emperor, secretly suppressing their curiosity.

Soon, Murong Huaide walked in with Princess Hongxia.Everyone was surprised when they saw Princess Hongxia's disheveled bun, red and swollen eyes from crying, and a very embarrassed look.

The Empress Dowager frowned even more distressedly, but before she could ask, Murong Huaide knelt down with a plop, and begged loudly, "Nephew begs the emperor to be merciful, allow me to go back to the Northland immediately! This capital It's good, but if my nephew stays here, I'm afraid my family will be ruined and my face will be trampled into the mud. Uncle Emperor, please allow me to leave Beijing!"

All the concubines in the palace entered the palace at a young age. Although they were rich and wealthy, each of them left a trace of regret in the deepest part of their hearts.Who doesn't like the handsome and unrestrained Mr. Pianpianjia, and who doesn't want to spend the past month whispering?But the truth is cruel, they can only dress up and try their best to please the emperor who is over fifty years old, and the little bit of beauty in their hearts can only be kept in their dreams.

And this Zhongshan Wang Shizi who almost fell from the sky is not only masculine and handsome, but also versatile in both civil and military affairs, satisfying all women's dreams for a future husband.Although many concubines said that they treated each other as elders every time they met, they all concealed a hint of admiration in private.

At this moment, they saw the handsome nobleman in the past kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face, as if he was trying his best to suppress his grief, his voice was trembling, so they all secretly twisted their veils with pity.

One of the most favored concubines was sitting next to the emperor, so she pretended to be curious and surprised, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, this concubine has never seen His Royal Highness look like this, what wronged him? No?"

The emperor nodded. To be honest, he really liked this nephew very much. If he was his own son, he would definitely let him inherit the throne.It's a pity that he was born in the imperial brother's mansion, so he should be more careful.However, precautions are precautions, this child is the blood of the Murong family after all, how can outsiders be bullied?

Thinking this way, he got up and helped his nephew up, and said in a deep voice, "A good man stands upright, bleeds and doesn't shed tears! Why are you so worthless, boy, tell me, who wronged you? "

Murong Huaide helped the emperor's hand to get up with gratitude on his face, and finally said with grief and indignation, "The emperor knows that my nephew left home when he was young, and has suffered countless hardships outside. Two years ago, my nephew married Dong Shi, a girl from a good family, is his wife. Although Dong Shi is ordinary in appearance and hot-tempered, she takes good care of many nephews, and even the family relies on her to grow fruits for maintenance.

The nephew was grateful and vowed to let her live a life without worrying about food and clothing.Since entering Beijing, the emperor's uncle and emperor's grandmother have treated their nephew with kindness and rewards.Overjoyed, the nephew took the pregnant Dong over.I was thinking of a family reunion, but today, on the street, someone maliciously drove a carriage and slammed into Mrs. Dong, almost killing two people! "

As he spoke, tears appeared in his eyes again, and he choked up, "Uncle, as a man, my nephew cannot protect his wife and children. My nephew is really shameless living in the capital. I beg the emperor to allow my nephew to leave the capital." , my nephew wants to go back to the Northland! Although it is desolate there, there are no villains to bully..."

"Shut up, what kind of nonsense are you talking about. How can the majestic Zhongshan Prince, the royal blood, leave the capital in fright because of such a trivial matter? If it spreads, where will the royal face be put?"

The emperor stared, and finally glanced at Hongxia who was crooked at the empress dowager's feet, his heart was like a mirror.Needless to say, the villain in my nephew's mouth is this savage girl?

The Empress Dowager's face was also flushed now, and she was very annoyed.If it's in private, it's easy to talk about anything.But now there is a large audience, concubines crowded the room, and my grandniece and grandniece were brought before the emperor by the emperor's grandson. Even if right and wrong were found out, their Zhao family's face would not be good.What's more, although the emperor didn't say it clearly, he was protecting his nephew inside and out.

The queen mother stretched out her hand and pulled the dazed Hongxia, and asked in a low voice, suppressing her anger, "Hongxia, what is going on here? You are the villain that Qiuer mentioned? Why don't you just stay at home and go out on the street to do it?" What, even if you go out and find a good coachman, why did you almost hit someone?"

The old lady's words are not inappropriate at first glance, but the room is full of spirits, who can't guess the meaning of evasion?But the empress dowager has a high status, no one would be so stupid as to expose it.

Hongxia County secretly swore so many vows along the way, and when they saw the emperor's aunt and grandmother, they must cry and confide in them.In the end, before she could be wronged, the heroic man whom she had admired for a long time burst into tears first. This completely overturned all her cognition, and she was shocked and jealous that she was hit by a saddle on the road and her brain was damaged, and she had hallucinations.

Suddenly awakened by the Queen Mother, she was still in a daze, and replied vaguely, "Oh, great-aunt, I just thought that woman was disgusting, and I wanted to scare her, not kill her..."

All the concubines drank their tea with their heads down when they heard the words, secretly laughing to themselves that the Zhao family was such a good daughter, if they insisted that this matter was a misunderstanding at this time, no one could do anything to her.But she was lucky enough to admit it directly, which was extremely stupid.
