Yutai Bi

Chapter 222 Rules
Go back and talk to Du Yansui.Du Yansui was stunned for a while before he said: "Danhua once mentioned Tubo. Mrs. Xu from the Brocade Pavilion sent news that King Teng knew that Feng Zhong, the commander of the Changlin army who was determined to avenge Prince Yin, appeared in Tubo. If you can tell everyone Tang hit hard, and Feng Zhong would spare no effort. I guess that these batches of food from King Teng must have been transported into Tubo. The British government led troops to the west, and once Tubo quietly sent troops to attack. Not to mention the defeat of the west army, at least the war will be serious. Stalemate. He guessed the emperor's intention to conquer the west very accurately, and he made preparations last year. The food transported by three large ships in four trips was not much, so he could only lure Tubo to harass our army. When the emperor reprimanded The British are not good in the war, so they push me out. No wonder they refused to let me go to the west to conquer the army, and they are very sure that the war will not be good. King Teng intends to use my chess at that time."

Cen Sanniang talked about the Fang family's military uniform business.Du Yansui praised her: "It's not bad to put usury money. With Zou Jiacheng's head, it's a stable business without losing money."

When Cen Sanniang talked about Yuchi Baozhu's absence for a long time, she felt a little worried.Du Yansui knew that Prince Teng had many concubines, so he could only sigh a few times. After discussing the sacrifice, he went to the palace to meet the concubine as a chance to make amends.

After offering incense to parents.Cen Sanniang resumed her plain attire.Wearing a taupe-colored shirt with large sleeves, a white high-waisted skirt, a horse bun, and two hairpins carved in the shape of magnolia flowers, and a string of necklaces inlaid with sapphires hanging from the bun.He brought Fang's mother, Aqiu Fengchun, and under the escort of Hei Qi and a team of guards, they brought a gift of medicinal materials to meet Princess Teng.

Prince Teng's Mansion was newly built, not far from the Governor's Mansion.The carriage entered through the side door and stopped at the second door.

A nun, two female officials and four maids stood waiting at the hanging flower gate.Seeing Cen Sanniang get out of the car, Mammy stepped forward and saluted, with a very respectful tone: "Madam Du, please get on the sedan chair."

Two small sedan chairs with green curtains were parked at the door.Cen Sanniang thought, could it be that Prince Teng's mansion is huge?She got into the sedan chair, and Fang's mother and Ah Qiu Fengchun followed the sedan chair with gifts.

After about a cup of tea, the sedan chair stopped.A female official opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and one helped Cen Sanniang get off the sedan chair.

The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the courtyard, with a black-painted door face and a boxwood screen in the middle, carved with large peonies.Standing at the door were two maids in blue narrow-sleeved short jackets and white high-waisted skirts.After meeting Cen Sanniang, he saluted and led her into the courtyard gate.

Bypassing the screen, two tall banyan trees are symmetrically planted in the courtyard, and the shade of the trees covers the entire courtyard.In the middle is a hall, with twelve screens painted gold with a black base. In front of the screen is an Arhat couch covered with brocade mats, and eight chairs are placed on both sides.

After passing the hall is the main courtyard.The surroundings are connected by corridors, and a large rack of grapes is planted in the middle of the yard, with clusters of plump green fruits hanging between the branches and leaves.Honeysuckle is also planted, and the yellow and white flowers spit out a rich fragrance.

There are five main rooms, and a row of maids standing under the corridor.A female officer came out from inside, bowed her knees to Cen Sanniang, and ushered her in.

Bypass the Duobao Pavilion, which is separated from the main hall and the tip, and enter the bedroom of the princess.

Yuchi Baozhu leaned against the brocade quilt and sat on the canopy bed, and stretched out his hand to Cen Sanniang: "Sanniang, Sanniang!"

The outstretched hand was as thin as a child's arm, with pale skin, and a jade bracelet hung empty on her wrist.Cen Sanniang covered her lips in shock, looked up and saw Yuchi Baozhu's thin and pale face and the hope in her eyes, tears welled up in her eyes: "Why are you so sick!"

She quickly walked a few steps and sat in front of the bed, stretched out her hand to hold Yuchi Baozhu's hand, feeling so sad that she didn't know what to say.

"Mrs. Du, you should greet the princess." A cold voice cut in.

Yuchi Baozhu withdrew her hands, with tears in her eyes, and looked at her apologetically.

Cen Sanniang heard the sound and looked, and there was a nanny wearing a blue long-sleeved jacket standing beside her.With a high bun, tightly pursed lips, and deep nasolabial folds on both sides, he looks stern and rigid.

She held back her anger and got up and bowed her knees to salute Yuchi Baozhu.Yuchi Baozhu cried out softly, then sat down on the side of the bed again and held her hand.

With a glance, besides Fang's mother Aqiu Nuandong she brought, there is also a nun, a female official and two maids in the room.He didn't see the nanny who came with Yuchi Mansion.

Yuchi Baozhu seemed to feel that Cen Sanniang's hand gave him strength, and he ordered: "I haven't seen Mrs. Du for a long time, I have something to say in private, you should step back first."

The mother bowed her body and said: "The princess is ill, and it is suitable for rest. The prince told me not to let the princess be self-willed. Now that I have met, Madam Du please."

Are you going to drive her away just after sitting down?Cen Sanniang frowned.

There was a bit of fear in Yuchi Baozhu's eyes, and he said softly to Cen Sanniang: "Yes, I'm sick, and I'm afraid I'll get angry with you if I get sick. It's enough just to see you. I'll invite you to come when I get better. "

Cen Sanniang was taken aback, this is still the lively and straightforward Yuchi Baozhu?She slowly turned her head, stared at the nanny and said, "Is this how the palace treats guests? Even if the princess wants to say something personal to me, the nanny will take care of it?"

The nanny pursed her lips, the lines of the law deepened, and her back was straightened: "The prince has an order, and this servant dare not disobey it."

Cen Sanniang ignored her, thinking that I am sitting here, do you dare to come and pull me?She turned around and asked Yuchi Baozhu softly: "How long have you been sick? What did the doctor say?"

Yuchi Baozhu looked at the nanny timidly, and held Cen Sanniang tightly: "It's been half a year, and I went to Jinping Mountain to see the snow in winter, and I caught the wind and cold. Don't worry, you'll be fine."

"Mrs. Du! You are so rude!" Seeing that the princess continued to talk with Cen Sanniang, Mammy couldn't help saying sharply.

Cen Sanniang stood up and stared at her: "Master is talking, there is no place for a servant to interrupt at will. Mother Fang, slap your mouth!"

"I am the concubine's nanny in charge! Seventh-rank female officer, how dare you...

Mother Fang stepped forward and slapped her.

Yuchi Baozhu let out a low cry, and grabbed the corner of Cen Sanniang's clothes tightly.

Cen Sanniang said coldly: "I am a first-class wife granted by the imperial court. What's wrong with teaching you a lesson for the princess? You can go to the prince and cry and say that the princess wants to talk to me, and you are not allowed to wait inside. Go out !"

Mammy covered her face with embarrassment, she still saluted, straightened her back and walked out.

Seeing people go out, Cen Sanniang winked at Fang's mother a few times and asked them to guard the door, then sat down again, holding Yuchi Baozhu's hand and said: "Why is this happening? He treats you badly?"

Yuchi Baozhu's tears rolled down, he choked up and said: "I can't beat him..."

She spoke intermittently, and Cen Sanniang's heart felt cold when she heard it.

King Teng treated Yuchi Baozhu quite well.On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, I always come to her courtyard.When Yuchi Baozhu first arrived in Longzhou, he figured it out and planned to accept it and become Princess Teng with peace of mind.She has a lively and straightforward personality, and she dared to lose her temper if King Teng didn't accommodate her.

King Teng changed all the maids and women who were serving her, and assigned two nuns and four female officials to serve her.No matter what you do, first see if it is in compliance with the rules.As long as the rules are not followed, the nuns and the ladies will teach them according to the palace rules.Kneeling and copying are fined, and the calf is whipped with a cane wrapped in silk.

Qudong Yuchi Baozhu was so angry that he deliberately took advantage of King Teng's banquet for the city's gentry to change into a servant's clothes and slip out of the mansion, and ran to Jinping Mountain alone to watch the snow.When they found her, they caught a cold and were detained in the yard.Even the steward and the nanny who came to Yuchi's mansion this time only kowtowed in the yard, and no one was allowed to see them.

She was already sick, and the nuns and ladies had many rules, so Yuchi Baozhu was tortured by the rules and wanted to die.After drinking the medicine, it didn't get better, and he became sick like this.

King Teng wants to teach the princess to learn the rules of the palace, so can the old Duke Yuchi still say that King Teng abused his daughter?
If Yuchi Baozhu had a quiet personality, these rules would not be difficult to adapt to.However, Yuchi Baozhu was raised pampered in the house, loved by his father and brother, so he couldn't calm down.For her, this rule is fatal.

It can only be said that King Teng's move was too cruel to Yuchi Baozhu.

"The emperor wants to give you a marriage. What can I do? For a meal, if you can't eat what you want, the maid will force you to eat what you want. When you wake up and when you go to sleep, and you go to the yard for a few quarters of an hour, someone will remind you. I If you want to ride a horse, okay, let me ride it. Someone will lead the horse slowly around the racecourse, and the mothers will say that is enough. The bow and arrows given by your second uncle are locked in the warehouse, and the mothers will not let you touch them. The prince only said that the princess should understand the rules. He didn't hold me back. But wherever he went, there were nanny to remind him. It's useless to tell father and brother, I feel bad, Sanniang..." After Yuchi Baozhu vomited quickly , cried.

Cen Sanniang couldn't help thinking, if it was her, she might not be able to bear it.Her Sanniang didn't know how to comfort Yuchi Baozhu, so she had to say to her: "I'm still staying in Longzhou for a month or two. Get well soon, let yourself be sick, and use the rules to stop you from talking. Wait for you Alright, I'll post a post to invite you. Since you are bound by rules, let's look for loopholes in the rules. Do you agree?"

Looking for loopholes in the rules?Yuchi Baozhu's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "I'll get better as soon as possible. Sanniang, you keep your word, and stay with me more."

"I don't believe it, because we can't deal with two old godmothers!" Cen Sanniang's proud appearance infected Yuchi Baozhu.

She giggled, and she could vaguely see two parts of her old look.

Seeing her yawn after talking for a long time, Cen Sanniang got up and helped her to lie down, tucked her in the quilt, and resigned.
