Chapter 270 Ningyuan Hou Mansion
When these words came out, both Shen Mingjiao and Cui Lingling were stunned. It is really Gu Danxue and the prince... No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for these two people to have an intersection.
It doesn't mean that Gu Danxue is not worthy of the prince, but the two of them are not very suitable no matter how they look at it.
"Is this matter already settled?"
Feng Shuo said: "I think His Majesty has already made up his mind to grant a marriage in half a month."
Cui Lingling breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the decree has not been issued, there is still room for transfer."
Shen Mingjiao was not so optimistic: "Let's go and have a look first!"
Cui Lingling was born in Jianghu, so she doesn't think it's a big deal to elope. But Shen Mingjiao couldn't think so.
She is glad that Jing and Di didn't give the marriage on the spot at this time, otherwise Gu Danxue would be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.
If you meet a monarch with a violent temper, you can directly kill the whole family.
I remember that in the previous dynasty, a noble lady was given to the palace as a concubine, but that noble lady already had a sweetheart. As soon as their heads became hot, they packed up their money and prepared to elope, but they were caught by the city guards.
Under the king's holy wrath, the noble girl and her sweetheart's family of hundreds of people were all beheaded.
Although Jing and Emperor are fairly friendly, if this matter becomes serious, it will be very difficult for Gu Danxue to say goodbye, and he will be pointed at for the rest of his life.
Seeing the two of them like this, Feng Shuo said, "I can help persuade Your Majesty to change his mind."
Shen Mingjiao waved her hand. "Not in a hurry, wait until I figure out the situation."
Cui Lingling couldn't help muttering: "There are so many noble girls all over the capital who want to marry the prince, why did His Majesty choose Danxue alone? Isn't this a bit of a mess?"
Qin Yan glanced at her: "Don't talk about your majesty."
Cui Lingling closed her mouth resentfully, but did not forget to give him a hard look: "I want you to take care of it."
Qin Yan just smiled at Cui Lingling, and raised his hand to rub her hair, but she dodged it pretending to be angry.
Not only was Qin Yan not annoyed, but a certain tense mood seemed to loosen all of a sudden.
Cui Lingling and the others don't understand, but these days he deliberately familiarizes himself with the power structure of court officials, and from the perspective of a bystander, he understands what this means.
Jing and Di completely gave up on the prince.
He could see that Jing and Emperor Fengshuo entered the palace at the beginning, and they only had this idea, and they didn't want to really abolish the prince.
After all, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and it is impossible to abolish it just by abolishing it. At that time, there will be a **** storm in the court.
And I don't know what happened in the middle, so Jing and Di made up their minds.
The reason why the prince was allowed to take the daughter of Ning Yuanhou was all because Jing and the emperor left a way out for their son.
Up until now, all doubts about Jing and Di have been dispelled. After all, if Jing and Di were really the murderers of the prince, then why would they value Shuo Er so much?
He was completely relaxed, and no one wanted to confront the king unless he had to.
…
Because Shen Mingjiao was really worried about Feng Shuo going out, mainly because she was afraid that the child would do something dangerous, so she let Cui Lingling continue to follow Qin Yan.
And she went to Ningyuan Hou Mansion alone.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, most of the shops are closed, and the usually bustling streets of the capital seem very quiet.
Arrived at the gate of Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, Shen Mingjiao got out of the sedan chair supported by Haitang, while Erya stepped forward to look for the porter to pass the message.
The imposing vermilion lacquered door of the Hou Mansion was wide open, inexplicably looking a little deserted and depressed.
"Who are you looking for!"
While speaking, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes and muttering: "It's a big Chinese New Year, and it doesn't make people quiet!"
Erya frowned. Don't look at the group of rough men in their mansion who usually fight and have no rules, let alone broad daylight, even in the middle of the night. Whenever someone approached the gate of King Su's Mansion, the guards in charge of guarding the gate would be subconsciously vigilant.
Although Ningyuan Hou's Mansion is not comparable to their Wang Mansion, it can still be regarded as a noble family with a title. The difference is too much!
She said lightly: "I am a servant girl of Su Wang's mansion. Our princess and the eldest lady in the mansion have taught me well. Naturally, I am here to find Miss Gu this time."
The young man was taken aback when he heard "Su Wang's Mansion", thinking that the other party was lying to scare him, then opened his eyes wide to see clearly the gorgeous carriage engraved with the Su Wang Mansion logo, and Shen Mingjiao and his party standing in front of him. Immediately, all the drowsiness disappeared, and he was about to kneel down with a pale face. "...The little one has seen the princess."
Shen Mingjiao nodded lightly, and walked straight in without being led the way, anyway, the five-advance noble houses like the capital have similar layouts.
Seeing the person walking away, the porter hurriedly ran over there, he had to tell the second wife the news as soon as possible.
So when Shen Mingjiao and his party were about to reach the backyard, a woman covered in emerald jewels trotted up from the inner courtyard.
"The woman has seen the princess. If she knew that the princess was coming, the woman should have gone to the gate to greet her."
Because the second master is only white. So she can only be called a civilian woman.
Shen Mingjiao waved his hand lightly: "Second Mrs. Gu, don't be polite, it's my concubine who is bothering you when it's Chinese New Year's Eve."
Wang asked tentatively: "I don't know your next life, Princess?"
"Benfei and Danxue have always gotten along very well. I haven't seen her for many days and I want to talk to her. Please ask Mrs. Gu to show me the way."
Rao had already guessed in his heart, but Princess Su said it herself. Wang still couldn't help but shrink back.
But she had already thought of a countermeasure before coming here.
At this moment, he sighed, hesitant to speak and said: "Princess, you are really flattered to come to see my family Danxue when you celebrate the Chinese New Year. It's just..."
She sighed, "A few months ago, after Danxue came back from Prince Su's mansion, she was very unhappy. She didn't say anything when she asked her, and I didn't dare to say too much as an aunt. Xuexia posted a few times, she... hey!"
After saying that, she bowed her head in fear and was about to kneel down. "I don't know what's wrong with this child. She has been a bit left-handed lately. The woman is really afraid that Danxue will speak ill of you when she sees you."
After speaking, I was deeply relieved in my heart. According to what her husband Gu Erye said.
Concubine Su is domineering and arrogant, and she looks at that dead girl with admiration, and she is probably just teasing her. Just let Princess Su know. In private, Gu Danxue was dissatisfied with her, and with Princess Su's temper, it was absolutely impossible for her to show any kindness to that dead girl again!
Besides, Shen Mingjiao did post a message to Gu Danxue before, but every time the people in Ningyuan Hou Mansion said that Gu Danxue was unwell.
In fact, those posts were all blocked by her, even if that dead girl really knew, so what, after raising that girl for so many years, she has her own way to control people.
But these concubines Su didn't know about it.
After saying that, Wang bent her legs and knelt on the ground. She raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction, just waiting for Princess Su to wave her hands impatiently, or just shake her hands and leave.
But until her knee landed firmly, the person in front of her still didn’t move, and then there was a sound of footsteps,
She raised her head cautiously, and there was a trembling rough envoy woman standing in front of her, but there was no sign of Shen Mingjiao and her party.
Wang: "..."
She gritted her teeth and gave the rough woman a fierce look, and was about to get up.
The servant girl next to the princess appeared out of nowhere and looked at her with a smile:
"Oh, Mrs. Gu, you can't get up. Although I don't know why you gave such a big salute to the princess, but the royal rules, when you salute, the nobleman has to kneel until he yells.
Second Mrs. Gu, don’t you think so? "
Facing the little girl's eyes full of deep meaning, Wang suddenly thought of Shen Mingjiao's various notorieties, she immediately trembled, and could only grit her teeth and continue kneeling.
