Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 95
In the days that followed, the rumors about the haunted Prince Ping Mansion became more and more outrageous. It was even reported that someone was fascinated by ghosts and went to the Prince Ping Mansion in the middle of the night and almost committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. Fortunately, he was found by the guard and escaped. However, the guard fell ill. One time, the Taoist priest who was exorcising the evil spirits said that he was killed because he blocked the evil spirits and took revenge.

I don't know if she has heard such rumors too much, but Shen Caishu always feels that she can't sleep well at night, as if she could vaguely hear a woman crying.She didn't know whether the skeleton in Prince Ping's mansion was a man or a woman, but she was in a panic. For peace of mind, on the first day of the new year, she followed her third aunt and several cousins ​​to the temple to burn incense.

It happened that Meng Yanran, who was engaged to King Ji, was also going to burn incense in the temple that day, so King Ji and King Ping went to the most famous Prime Minister's Mansion in Chengxiao together. The wives of senior officials in the city would usually go to this temple to burn incense outside the city.On the way, the two also met the second prince Huo Wang, Yang Fanghou. Since Huo Wang went to guard the mausoleum for the queen mother for three years, his whole person seemed to be more peaceful, and he seemed to be fascinated by Buddhism. The Xiangguo Mansion drank tea and discussed scriptures with the eminent monks there.Since the three met and went to the same place, they naturally went together.

When they arrived at the Daxiangguo Mansion, King Ji saw the Meng family's carriage arrived, and waited for Meng Yanran to get off the carriage, and followed him into the gate of the temple.Meng Yanran was born with a beautiful face, she told Dali that she looked down on the fun-loving Prince Ji.The first few times the two met, they were a bit cold, but Ji Wang was always the more frustrated and courageous, Meng Yanran was cold to him, and he wanted to get closer to her more and more.

King Huo stayed where he was and waited for the Shen family's carriage with King Ping, and took the opportunity to boast about the kindness and heart of Shen's cousin. King Ping responded shyly, which made King Huo feel a little bored.As soon as the Shen family's carriage arrived, there were several watery girls below, and the one in the red cloak was Shen Caishu.Regardless of the fact that King Huo kept telling King Ping about the benefits of his cousin, in fact, he only met this cousin a few times a few years ago, and he doesn't know how she is doing now.Now seeing that her eyebrows are picturesque, she looks a little thin because she hasn't slept well these days, and she looks pitiful under the red cloak trimmed with white fur.She glanced at King Ping coldly, and when she saw King Huo beside him, her eyes moved slightly to reveal a charming smile, which made King Huo slightly distracted.

After the two parties met the ceremony, King Ping accompanied Shen's family inside.King Huo had an appointment with an eminent monk to give a lecture, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he left after a few words of greeting.Mrs. Shen wanted to give the young man who had engaged in a kiss a chance to spend time alone, and soon urged the two to go elsewhere to enjoy the plum blossoms.In winter, the old plum trees in Daxiangguo Temple have not yet bloomed, and there is nothing to see. In addition, it is cloudy and the wind is blowing, so no one else comes to the plum grove.

The two stood alone for a while, unable to chat. Prince Ping had met Shen Caishu several times before. After all, they were engaged to be married, so meeting alone was nothing.The two of them didn't have much to talk about. After news of the haunted palace got out, Shen Caishu asked about it. After all, it was the place where she would live in the future, and she always wanted snacks.

King Ping said timidly at that time: "This mansion was bestowed by the emperor, and I will live in it in the future. Fortunately, the place where the trouble is not the main courtyard, but the side of the main courtyard. We should avoid it in the future. gone."

I don't know if he was afraid that she would be worried, but King Ping also said: "Don't worry, monks and priests have been there, and they all say that although they are ghosts, they can't hurt the royal family."

Shen Caishu couldn't feel relieved after hearing this, but after all, she hadn't really married yet, so she couldn't say anything.What's more, she had to pretend to be virtuous and respectful, so she couldn't lose her temper with King Ping, but she held her breath in her heart, always feeling that King Ping was really as useless as the rumors.

After standing for a while, Mei Lin walked over to Wang He, the little eunuch next to King Ji, he was sure that King Ping was in front of him, and regardless of the people around him, he asked loudly: "Your Highness Seventh, our master is coming back, do you want to come together? "

"Together." King Ping quickly responded, and glanced at Shen Caishu, "Does Jiuniang want to go back or continue to admire plum blossoms?"

Shen Caishu ranked ninth in her generation, and outsiders generally called her Shen Jiuniang.

"Appreciate plum blossoms." She mumbled a word, but thought, there is nothing to appreciate plum blossoms here, only gusts of cold wind.

But Ping Wang Shicheng nodded, and echoed: "Then you reward slowly, I will go back first."

Shen Caishu reluctantly responded, her complexion was obviously not very good, but King Ping didn't notice it, and left in a hurry.When he was gone, Shen Caishu couldn't help stomping her feet angrily, she didn't even wink at him, and she still expected him to treat her well in the future?Thinking back to when she followed her parents to work in other places, which one of the local men and women did not support her, she has never encountered such a ignorant person.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, she was pouting and wiping tears at Mei Zhi, when she heard someone say: "Xiao Cai'er? Okay, why are you crying?"

"I didn't cry." Shen Caishu said, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Huo Wang who hurriedly saluted, her face flushed with shame, thinking to herself why Huo Wang still remembered her baby name?
"But the seventh brother bullied you?" King Huo asked pretending to be angry, and gave her a hand, seeing that she didn't avoid her, he lowered his head and stared at her red earlobes.

"No." Shen Caishu said sullenly.

"Prince Ping is a bit boring, but he has no bad intentions."

"Of course not every prince is like His Highness..." she whispered.

King Huo understood what he heard, raised his lips slightly, and pinched her face, "Xiao Cai'er has been sweet-mouthed since she was a child."

"Your Highness, don't call me by that name, I'm no longer a child." Shen Caishu said coquettishly, covering her face that was red from being pinched by him.

Huo Wang's eyes darkened, and he sighed: "Yes, they are all big girls."

The two talked in the Merlin for a long time before they parted. Even if King Huo's guards stopped the pilgrims who wanted to enter the Merlin, it was hard to prevent this scene from being seen by interested people.That night, Xiao Lin, the little eunuch next to King Ping, reported the matter to him.

"...Because King Huo was here, the young master of Wang Shizhong's family didn't go in."

"Understood, let's go down." Ping Wang said lightly, playing with a simple net made of copper coins and red rope in his hand, and when Xiao Lin exited the house, he glanced at the net in his hand, revealing a shallow smile. After laughing, he slowly clenched the net in his hand.

Although someone mentioned the private conversation between Huo Wang and Shen Caishu, Mei Lin was in public and in a Buddhist temple, so he couldn't say anything bad.On the contrary, Shen Caishu fell ill shortly after returning. It is said that she had a cold, but the outside world was more likely to be bewitched.No way, the craftsmen who went to Pingwang's mansion to work also fell ill one by one, and many said they ran into a female ghost.

"Why are rumors becoming more and more evil?" As the first rumor that there is a ghost in the Ping Palace, King Ji is also puzzled by the rumors that the Ping Palace is haunted. It is obvious that the bones they picked up turned out to be male, so why? Now that the female ghost is haunting, how can the murderer be forced to come out? No, he has to make up another legend about the male ghost committing evil.

"The rumors of Chang'an City come and go, and they have never been less. Fortunately, Miss Shen is still young. Even if you pass it on for a few years, the palace will be repaired in time. It's just that it hasn't been completed in the past few years. I'm afraid it will be in June. Excuse me from the elder brother's residence." King Ping said in a good voice.

"It's okay, I have reserved a yard for you. Your palace is too old. I think many yards should be demolished and rebuilt."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs may not be able to give that much money."

"Then demolish the house first and then build it slowly. I heard from a Taoist priest that if the house is really haunted, it's best to dismantle the house and let it sit in the sun for a few years before building it again, otherwise the ghosts won't go away..."

"Sixth brother said this again, so that I will not dare to live in my own house in the future." King Ping frowned helplessly.

"Are you afraid?" King Ji covered his mouth and asked with a smile.

King Ping froze and didn't answer.

Ji Wang laughed, and didn't force him, saying, "Don't worry, it's true, I made it all up."

"But the rumor about the female ghost..."

"People in the world love to add fuel to the eye. What do you believe in, don't worry, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. If there is, you will live in my house for the rest of your life."

King Ping smiled gratefully, as if he was relieved.

Not long after, it was rumored that there was another vicious male ghost in Zhongping Palace's ghost, and the previous female ghost was captured by him, which vaguely meant that he was the overlord of ghosts.

When Zhuhua heard this rumor, she couldn't help but want to laugh, she was too imaginative.Qin San also sent people to Pingwang's mansion to repair it. There was no such evil in the outside world, but it aroused her curiosity. After handling the affairs in the mansion, she took Dabao Er Bao went on an expedition and told them to keep it secret.

Such activities were originally indispensable to Xiaohua, but Xiaohua is old and has not left any seeds, and now she can only stand alone in front of Zhuhua's house to bask in the sun, and does not have so much energy to accompany her around.She knows that life, old age, sickness and death are also part of a dog's life, and she has already prepared to part with it in her heart. As long as she has made a preset in her heart, many things will be much easier to accept.Just like her marriage, she had already known that the relationship between the two of them would not last, but she still wanted to keep going, trying to have a child to save the marriage.

Either she loves her husband too much, or she can't let go of a peaceful and stable marriage.I have to say that her husband is very obedient to her and will take the initiative to undertake housework. He is a good man.If there is no cheating, the two can get together and break up. She is busy with work and feels a little guilty towards him. She wants to make up for something.But even if she had an affair, it was not so hard for her to accept it. During her work, she also had warm feelings for several successful partners, but that was just ambiguity.She's still traditional and wants to keep the family on an even keel.

She couldn't accept that it was probably because he calculated her assets. If the two divorced peacefully, she would have scored half of his score, but he crossed the line.He can only take what she is willing to give, and he can't move the rest without her permission.As for that best friend, this is also a friendship like a tasteless one.

They have known each other since elementary school. Their families are quite similar. They both lost their father very early. The difference is that her best friend misses her father very much, while her mother remarried later, and her stepfather is very strict with her.Cheng Zhu felt sorry for her, and the two became friends unknowingly. Until the third year of junior high school, a classmate told her that her best friend was always talking bad about her behind her back.

She didn't break the relationship with her because of this, because she was the only one who could confide in her best friend who was wronged at home.Cheng Zhu is not a white lotus, she just has a sense of superiority inexplicably from her best friend's complaints.Yes, she did not have a very good father, but her mother was very good, she did not remarry, and did not put her and her younger brother in an aggrieved family environment for the second time.Out of this sense of superiority, she also lent this best friend a lot of money, but she never asked for the money back.

To be honest, she actually made money by taking away a best friend who she couldn't bear to break up with a weak marriage.She didn't seem to hate them, especially when she got divorced, she vented her anger when she should, so she had no reason to hate them.It's just that whenever she thinks of these two people, the depression in her heart still haunts her, as if telling her of her emotional flaws.

She was flawed, and she knew it herself.No matter how well she got along with other people outside, she was rarely seen losing her temper, but back home, she would vent her anger on those close to her.After getting married, her husband was the one who got angry the most, her poor husband. Thinking about it like this, she felt a little sympathetic to him.In her previous life, she was aware of her problem, but she couldn't change it. What about now?She doesn't think she can change either, maybe she will look for an indifferent marriage relationship like in her previous life, and then the two of them will live a lifetime of respect.

There is nothing wrong with this, as long as she imagines it in advance, she will be mentally prepared to accept such a life.

The expedition to Prince Ping's mansion was not successful, because there were guards in front of the mansion, and the three of them could not enter through the door.After walking around Prince Ping's mansion hand in hand, the three of them, who were tired from walking, returned to the carriage.Even though nothing happened, the palms of the three were sweaty, and when they were looking for the entrance to Prince Ping's Mansion, the three also found several other older children, their eyes were filled with excitement when they saw Zhuhua and the others. Of course, it should be the same to explore.

"It would be nice if I brought Xiaohua here, maybe it can know where there are ghosts." Dabao said with a bit of regret. He heard people in the house say that dogs can see things that others can't see, and Xiaohua often confronts the ghost at night. People's places are called, probably because they saw something.

"That's right, just bring Xiao Hua."

"Think about it, if Xiao Hua suddenly yelled at the palace on the way, what would we do? How scary."

The two nodded ignorantly, and were glad that they hadn't really encountered anything.

"Xiaohua is getting old, next year I will ask someone to ask, and I will raise a new dog at home."

"Will Aunt Cheng let you take care of me?" Dabao asked worriedly, Erbao nodded in agreement, and looked at Zhuhua uneasily.

"Why not let me, Xiaohua will keep it."

"Xiao Hei was not allowed to be raised."

Xiao Hei is a hound that Jin Hua asked Qin San to find for her. Sun thought the hound was too fierce and refused to let her keep it.Dabao and Erbao followed Zhuhua to visit Xiaohei.

"Xiao Hei is too fierce. If I keep it again, I still need to raise a little flower dog. It can't be too fierce. It's not good to bite people."

The three of them continued to discuss what kind of dog to raise in the carriage, but they didn't know that when King Ping passed by the carriage on horseback, he glanced at the nameplate with the word Cheng on the carriage and couldn't help but stop, and didn't continue to the palace until the carriage was far away.After sending someone to inquire around the palace, he realized that there were many bold children around.

"My lord, do you want the slaves to send someone to drive them away?" Xiao Lin asked.

"No need, they are all children." King Ping said calmly.

Although no ghosts were found around the palace, Zhuhua still fell ill after returning home, and then she remembered that the palace is also considered a place of prosperity, and she would be bumped into it if she went there.She didn't dare to tell Mrs. Sun, anyway, she was often sick.It's just that during the few days when she was ill, Xiaohua always yelled at the door at night, so frightened Dabao Erbao and Yinhua stayed in the room when it got dark and refused to go out.

Anyway, it's cold, so it's normal not to go out, but Dabao Erbao got the news from nowhere, knowing that gold and silver can ward off ghosts, so he moved all his gold and silver and put them on the bead flower bed, making her dumbfounded.However, looking at herself surrounded by gold, silver and jewels, it felt good, Zhuhua had a good sleep, and recovered from her illness the next day.Dabao and Erbao bluntly said that it was their credit. When Zhuhua returned the gold and silver, they refused to accept it. She coaxed for a long time to promise that she would borrow it next time she was sick, so the two took it back and hid it.

Having said that, Zhuhua thought that she would not borrow it again, and she might not get sick frequently anymore, because she was about to be 12 years old. Didn't the monk in white say that she would be able to stop getting sick when she was 12 years old?For this, she will be happy no matter how busy she is at the end of the year.

Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, she put on new clothes and looked at the plum blossoms that were about to bloom in the garden, beaming with joy.She can finally get rid of the image of being sick and weak, and can lead a healthy life.

"Miss, why did you get up so early?" Qiu Chu stood behind Zhuhua and yawned. Last night, a group of their off-duty servants kept vigil together, and they didn't sleep until dawn.As a result, after lying down for a while, I heard that Zhuhua had woken up, so she could only come over to wait on her.

"If you're sleepy, go back and sleep for a while. I won't get lost in my yard. What are you afraid of?"

"Even if the lady doesn't ask the slave to wake up to wait, can the slave really lie on the bed with the cheek, no matter how bad the slave is, she won't be so shameless."

"Okay, you go to the kitchen and walk around, maybe there is something exciting to listen to, so don't rush over to serve."

"Yes, the servant girl is going to help the master to find out." Qiu Chu replied, knowing that Zhuhua didn't like being around people, she went to the kitchen.

You must know that the kitchen is the closest to the corner door, and the news is the most well-informed. What happens outside, the kitchen is always the first to know.In previous years, on New Year's Eve, there would always be a few big families in central Beijing who would make troubles. Some illegitimate children came to the door, some got drunk and made a scandal, and some people caught fire while playing firecrackers. Autumn Chu loves to join in the fun, and Chang'an City's popular The haunting incident in Prince Ping's Mansion has not yet passed, and she also wants to hear if there is any new news.She didn't go here because she wanted to hear it, who made her miss like to listen to it.
