Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 34

Du Ruozi, who was named by Emperor Li Han, looked like a frightened deer. She quickly glanced at Li Han and lowered her head quickly, without saying a word.

Mrs. Wei Guogong who was kneeling beside Du Ruozi was overjoyed, she really did nothing wrong with bringing this concubine out today.She was full of joy in her heart, and she tried her best to hide the smile on her face, but the corners of her mouth were still curled up, and even the tone of her speech was full of obvious joy.

"My wife pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor and Concubine Hui." Mrs. Wei Guogong bowed down and said on the ground, "The little girl is reckless. Your Majesty's majesty and majesty are eye-catching. The little girl is so impolite because she admires His Majesty." , I also ask His Majesty the Emperor to forgive me."

Obviously it should be an apology, but the wife of Wei Guogong said it, she couldn't understand the meaning of an apology, and she didn't say it for a while, but she still seemed to want to sacrifice her daughter?

Mrs. Lin really felt that she was worried about what was coming, whoever came to celebrate her birthday would be fine, but it happened to be the emperor, who just noticed this young lady from Duke Wei's mansion?

There was a Concubine Shu in the Duke of Wei's mansion. Concubine Shu was the mother concubine of the fourth prince, and she raised the third prince under her knees. This situation alone meant that there should be no contact between the Duke of Wei's mansion and Marquis Yingwu's mansion. .In normal times, this is indeed the case.

Marquis Yingwu's Mansion and Duke Wei's Mansion have always been distinct and have no contact.But now, less than a year after the crown prince was established, on such a day, Mrs. Wei Guogong brought her daughter to celebrate the birthday of the old Mrs. Hou in Yingwuhou's mansion.
Mrs. Lin had never considered the possibility that the emperor would come to the Marquis Yingwu's Mansion at all before, and she actually caused such a big omission.But what if you think about it?Is it possible to specially invite Mrs. Wei Guogong back?Or let her avoid seeing the emperor?
Mrs. Lin watched Mrs. Wei Guogong's actions earlier, and only thought that she wanted this young lady from the Du family to find a good marriage.Now it seems that Mrs. Wei Guogong may have been used by someone with a heart.

She probably intended only to let the concubine see a good marriage, but she couldn't stop others from having other goals, and there were more likely internal thieves in this Yingwuhou's mansion.If it was just a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.

If the emperor suspects that the four princes, together with Yingwuhou's mansion and Weiguo's mansion are colluding, and confirms it, then today's plan is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

A servant stepped forward and listened to the emperor Li Han to explain the identity of the person who answered the question. Li Han nodded almost invisible, glanced at all the people present with a smile, and said, "It doesn't matter." Madam Yingwuhou spoke up.

Concubine Hui, who was standing behind Li Han, had a slightly stagnant smile on her face, and then there was no abnormality, as if she had no idea at all.Among the people present, some hadn't noticed what was going on, while others were already preoccupied.

The appearance of the emperor is destined to make this birthday banquet lose its original flavor.Whether it is the people of Marquis Yingwu or all the people who came to celebrate the birthday, they are all accompanied carefully, not daring to neglect in the slightest.

It wasn't until the banquet was about to end that the emperor took Concubine Hui and the princes and princesses back to the palace.Everyone knelt at the gate of the Hou's mansion to see them off again, until the majestic emperor's guard of honor walked away. Most of the guests breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and they all left and returned to the mansion not long after.

When Li Han returned to the palace, he took Du Ruozi away with him, and Mrs. Wei Guogong was so happy that she couldn't find her.In her opinion, today's trip is really worth it.

There is also a concubine Shu from the Duke of Wei's mansion in the palace. Now that such a beautiful woman enters the Duke of Wei's mansion, will she still have to worry about not having a life of glory and wealth in the future?

Mrs. Wei Guogong thought cheerfully, and later she would praise the woman who gave her such a good idea.If she had to change herself, she couldn't think of such a good idea.

The wife of the Duke of Wei, who was immersed in joy, soon took Du Ruojin and Du Ruomei to leave and go back to the Duke of Wei's mansion when the other wives were returning home.

As soon as she returned to Duke Wei's mansion, she went to find her husband, Duke Wei, wanting to show her merits and share this news with him, which in her opinion was too good to be true.

"Does the master know who I am taking Miss Six to meet today?" Mrs. Wei Guogong asked her husband proudly.

Wei Guogong was lazy on the couch, seeing his wife's expression, he expressed his doubt cooperatively, "Who did Madam see? I just remembered that Miss Six didn't come to greet me just now. "

"It's His Majesty the Emperor..." Mrs. Wei Guogong approached Wei Guogong, and said to him in a low voice, "Miss Six is ​​so beautiful, won't your Majesty immediately take a fancy to her and bring her back to the palace?"

The Duke of Wei was startled by his wife's words and sat up all of a sudden. He was astonished and kept asking, "How did you bump into that master outside the palace? Where did you go?"

Not understanding why her husband had such a big reaction and still not showing any joy at all, Mrs. Wei Guogong wondered, and just said, "Isn't today the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Yingwuhou and Laohou? I just took my three sisters with me. I'm going to celebrate the old lady's birthday."

Duke Wei changed from sitting to standing. He thought about something in a daze, and after taking a few steps forward, he suddenly turned around and glared at Mrs. Wei Guogong.

"You went to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Yingwuhou Laohou, why didn't you tell me first?"

Mrs. Wei Guogong was even more puzzled when she saw that her husband was angry, and felt aggrieved, "Why don't you tell the master about such a thing? It's not an important matter, and we have no friendship with Yingwuhou's Mansion."

"Idiot! The entire Duke of Wei's mansion will be killed by you!" Duke of Wei pushed away the wife of Duke of Wei who was beside him, and strode out of the room angrily.

Mrs. Wei Guogong, who was pushed so unsteadily by her husband and nearly fell, felt even more aggrieved. I did such a good thing, how did I become a victim?

The adults were discussing matters in the living room, Qi Yingyu and Qi Haoran had already returned home with their parents, so Lin Yuan could only play with her sister-in-law and cousins.

The Yingwuhou Mansion, which was very lively before, seemed a bit lonely because of the departure of the guests, but the various flowers and plants in the back garden of the Hou Mansion were still beautiful.Lin Yuan is being led by her elder sister-in-law and cousin Fu Yushu from left to right, and she is taking a walk in the garden.

Xu Yueshan, Fu Yushu, and Fu Yujin all knew that they had discovered something serious today. Although they were worried, they didn't show any sadness because they couldn't do anything and they were in front of Xiao Linyuan.All three of them are willing to take care of their sister-in-law or cousin from the bottom of their hearts.

Even so, the atmosphere in the mansion was too dignified and depressing, even Lin Yuan could clearly feel that something special was going on.

Fu Yujin saw that her little cousin looked sleepy, and searched her brains to find some interesting topics to cheer her up.She may not be able to do the other things, but she can always make fun of the little cousin.

"Cousin, do you know what kind of flower this is?" They happened to walk near the potted chrysanthemum, and Fu Yujin reached out to ask Lin Yuan when he had an idea in his mind.

Lin Yuan looked in the direction Fu Yujin pointed, then looked at her cousin with a smile, and said, "I know it, it's Chrysanthemum."

Fu Yujin smiled and nodded, "Does my cousin know what Hanhua is?" Lin Yuan blinked her eyes when she heard the word Hanhua for the first time, and shook her head honestly.

"Hanhua means flowers that bloom in cold weather, but it mostly refers to chrysanthemums." Fu Yujin explained, "There is a poem saying, 'Where is the Luomen leading to a quiet song, and the back refers to the planting behind the Hanhua House.' This poem The title of the poem is so long that my cousin can’t memorize it, but the title mentions the chrysanthemum, which is the cold flower mentioned in this poem.”

"So it's like this? It's the first time I know." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Seeing that she was actually interested, Fu Yujin said, "In addition to the purple, red, and pink colors displayed here, chrysanthemums also have common yellow and white and rare green, ink, snow blue, and muddy colors." Gold. In addition to single color, there are several colors of a flower."

Seeing that she knew so much about her expression, Lin Yuan showed a look of admiration in her big eyes, and said to her cousin, "Osmanthus fragrans doesn't look like much, but you can make a lot of delicious food. Chrysanthemums are very beautiful, but just look at them. So I said , does everything actually have its own strengths and weaknesses?"

Xiao Linyuan calmly said something quite reasonable.

The three of Fu Yujin couldn't help laughing after hearing this, especially Fu Yujin.She only said these few words, but she just wanted to make her cousin happy, how did she realize such a profound truth when she came to her cousin?
"Little cousin is small and very philosophical! She even knows the words 'everything has its own strengths and weaknesses'!" Fu Yujin praised without hesitation.

However, Lin Yuan, who said it casually, felt a little embarrassed immediately, showing her white teeth, giggling, "Cousin, praise, praise!"

Lin Yuan, whose attention had been diverted, no longer felt depressed before.

In the evening, Li Han, who came out of the imperial study, went directly to Concubine Shu's Zhilan Palace.Concubine Shu has already heard about her concubine sister being brought into the palace at this time, but she has not been able to see this sister yet.

When the emperor came to her Zhilan Hall, Concubine Shu didn't feel at ease, on the contrary, she became more and more worried.She also knew exactly how the emperor brought him back, but she just wanted to scold her good stepmother severely.

"The concubine has met His Majesty, Your Majesty is safe."

Concubine Shu greeted the gate of Zhilan Palace, and bowed down to salute Li Han.

Li Han didn't look at her, but walked into the hall with big strides, found a seat and sat down, and then said excuse me from a distance.

Concubine Shu stood up with a calm face.She walked into the hall, ordered the maid to serve tea, and then stood aside to serve.The emperor didn't let her sit, so she had to stand.

Li Han didn't say anything except the sentence of excuse, and the hall was always quiet.Concubine Shu stood quietly, and when the palace maid brought the tea cup, she took both hands and brought it to Li Han.

"Put it down." Li Han's voice was flat, he didn't take the teacup in her hand, and when he raised his hand, all the palace people in the palace retreated.

When the teacup was placed on the table, Concubine Shu's heart skipped a beat, and then she heard Li Han say, "Maybe you haven't been out of the palace for a long time and went back to the Duke of Wei's mansion, so go back if you find an opportunity in the past few days." Let's go."

Concubine Shu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Grace.She was apprehensive at first, but when she heard the emperor's words, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.His Majesty didn't think that Duke Wei's mansion and Marquis Yingwu's mansion had a deep friendship, that's good.

Li Han and Concubine Shu said a few more words, and then left Zhilan Hall.Later, Concubine Shu heard that the emperor was staying with her concubine sister who had just brought in from outside the palace today.

The big maid brought by Concubine Shu from Duke Wei's mansion couldn't help but say a few words when she was serving Concubine Shu to bed, "Master and Madam didn't give a prophetic word to Madam when they wanted to send Miss Six into the palace... Seriously... …”

"Is this something you can discuss?" Concubine Shu gave her a sideways look and said coldly.

On the second day, Du Ruozi, the concubine's concubine who received the blessing of the emperor, was named a sixth-rank talent.When the decree was passed to Fengyang Palace, all the concubines and concubines in the palace were paying their respects to the queen in Fengyang Palace.

When the eunuch who conveyed the decree left, the queen smiled and said, "Congratulations to Du Cairen." She then told her grand maid, "Take two horses of cloud brocade and a pair of blood-red agate from my warehouse later. Send the bracelet to Du Cairen."

Du Ruozi quickly thanked the queen for the reward, but the queen smiled, but only said, "If you really want to thank, Du Cairen should thank Concubine Hui well."

Concubine Hui took a look at Du Ruozi, and said, "The empress's words are serious, and it's all His Majesty's intention, but it has nothing to do with my concubines."

The queen smiled, and said to Concubine Shu, "Since she is your younger sister, it is a good thing to be a companion when she enters the palace. No one else would have thought of it."

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "It's the truth that the queen empress said."

But how many people really like sisters serving their husbands together?
The queen's knife could not have been more timely.
