Chapter 772 The Duke's Mansion

In the mansion of the Duke of Wei in the capital city, Mrs. Cao, the wife of the Duke of Wei, who just came back from the palace to pay respects to the queen, looked at the maid who was following behind her and asked, "Did you see His Royal Highness King Jin? Do you have anything to say to Miss?" .”

The marriage decree has been made, and the big wedding is not too far away. At this time, it is not out of the ordinary for the two to have a little contact. That's why Mrs. Cao deliberately brought her daughter's personal maid into the palace.

The maid said in a low voice with some grievances: "Returning to Madam, I saw it, but His Highness didn't seem to care too much, so he dismissed the servant with a few words, and he didn't have anything to say to the young lady."

Mrs. Cao frowned, feeling a little angry in her heart. This marriage was not what their family rushed to ask for. It can even be said that because of this marriage, not only did they have to pay for their daughter, but also their husband's military power. , Steady loss and no profit.

Both in terms of emotion and reason, King Jin should behave better now, not the crown prince, and even heard that he has never been close to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is not as good as the younger brothers.

Ms. Cao was a little bitter. The dignity she received in Kunning Palace just now couldn’t be suppressed. The empress knew that it was the Deng family who had been wronged.

"Don't talk to Miss like that, just tell her His Royal Highness Jin Wang is very concerned."

"No."

I am weak and sick and have no children. There is only such a daughter. She is loved by thousands of people and has always been spoiled in the mansion.

If she finds out about this, there is no certainty what will happen. If it is an ordinary marriage, it will be fine, but this kind of holy order, no one can change it. In the end, you should marry or you have to marry.

What's more, Jinshang's temperament of defending his shortcomings, what he said to demote his son is his own business, and others have absolutely no say, especially in such a sensitive period.

The maid adjusted her condition and went to the backyard. When she arrived at the lady's boudoir, she raised her smiling face and entered beamingly. But when she entered, she found that the lady was sitting on a chair, and the maidservants who were serving her were all cowering like quails.

Miss Deng can pretend to be a lady outside, but she will not wrong herself at home, so she asked coldly, "What does King Jin say?"

The smile on the maid's face was immediately blown away by the rain and the wind, and she could only whisper: "Your Highness misses Miss very much, and asked about the recent food and clothing..."

Before she finished speaking, Deng Zhilan sneered: "What a lowly servant girl, even you dare to lie to me, come here, give me a slap!"

"The slaves dare not, it is... Madam ordered..."

"Even my mother ordered me not to tolerate you, hit me!"

Soon there were loud applause and sobs and begging, and Deng Zhilan couldn't understand her hatred: "The marriage is all set, and I really don't have anyone in the palace. Don't talk about what he said to you today. Miss Ben knows exactly whose bed she sleeps in."

How is Zhu Xi, there are many palace servants in his bedroom, some dare not get close to King Jin, so they naturally set their minds on the future princess, and Deng Zhilan often goes to the palace with her mother to see her The empress and princess, along the way, also recognized a few clever ones.

Can't help but gritted his teeth and said: "I'm an incompetent person, but I'm still a person who doesn't make progress. The majestic prince and prince almost died in the belly of a woman. I want to commit myself to such a person?"

"Fortunately, I used to laugh at Li Yan's short-sightedness. Why should we have a concubine with such a prominent family as we and others? Now, it seems that it is better to go to the East Palace with her to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. Although they are not husband and wife, at least the person next to him is An unrivaled king who obeys heaven and carries power and strategy."

Hearing this, everyone trembled in fright, and didn't bother to continue clapping their hands: "Miss, you are wronged in your heart, and the slaves and servants know that it is fine to vent your anger, but you must never say this, it will cause big trouble if it is spread out. "

It’s fine to belittle the fiancé-in-law, but this is Xiao Xiang’s uncle before he is married. This is a scandal among scandals, and the government and the opposition are just talking about it. I’m afraid the emperor will be furious.

Deng Zhilan said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, just listen to me, you still dare to spread the word, hmph, my father is the founding father of the country, what happened, no matter how bad this lady is, she is just forced to become a monk to become an aunt, but you It's a dead end."

………

"Master, I should ask a few more questions. After all, she is your regular wife, and the wedding date is just around the corner."

Mrs. Hu snuggled into King Jin's arms, and Qianqian lingered on the man's chest with her fine fingers. Zhu Xi pinched her delicate face indifferently: "It's fine if she comes in person, what does a mere maid want the king to say?" , being able to spare some time to see him is enough to give Duke Wei's family face."

Sitting up straight, Mrs. Hu advised, "My lord is honorable, but there is no need for a husband and wife to distinguish between superiors and inferiors. What's more, the meritorious Duke of the State of Wei holds the military power. Is it your arm that you can rely on, or send something to talk about it?" Make up your mind."

Zhu Xi was a little depressed and said: "It's not for you, you don't know good people."

"Slaves know it, but the more they know, the more they need to be warned. How can we lose the big because of the small, which is not conducive to the long-term future plan of the Lord."

Zhu Xi looked at her with a strange expression, as if there was something stirring in his chest and abdomen, it was not that no one had warned him, but there was mostly disdain in it, as if he did it out of pity.

He felt that it was the first time in his life that someone thought of him so wholeheartedly, especially at the premise of losing his own interests, which was even more valuable.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, but don't worry, I won't wrong you no matter what."

Only then did Mrs. Hu show her face and smile, and swim into Zhu Xi's arms as soft as boneless, and several court ladies outside the door signaled to each other with their eyes that His Royal Highness Jin's wedding is not far away. How long can Hu Meizi be proud of herself? .

...

At this time, a group of Qingqi galloped towards the gate of the capital city, and a group of people waiting at the gate of the city laughed and responded.

This is the confidence of the people in the capital. The emperor has never seen anything under his feet, and someone who is well-informed can guess from a long distance that this is the Duke of Wei who has returned to the capital. them.

Without needing to be asked, he just talked about Wei Guogong's deeds in the past, such as conquering Poyang Lake, flattening Tubo and conquering Gansu.

Runan Hou Mei Sizu led the crowd to step forward and hold the reins in person: "Bo Yan, I hope you are back."

Duke of the State of Wei Deng Yu jumped off his horse and embraced Mei Sizu, and asked the guards behind him to lead the horse: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I even miss him. Be sure to come to the mansion tonight and not get drunk!"

Gong Changhou Guo Xing said with a smile: "It depends on whether the superior will let you go today. This is going to be a relative of the emperor. Maybe the Holy Majesty will have a drink with you tonight."

"Besides, Chang Shuai also said that there are some things in Jingying that he can't get away from, so it's inconvenient to come to welcome you. If you drink outside the palace, you must go to his house, otherwise he will go over the table."

Deng Yu said with a smile: "Okay, you can drink anywhere. I don't dare to drink outside, but when I return to Beijing, I don't have any taboos. I drink from door to door. Don't hide when the time comes."

"Hahaha, the alcohol ban has been lifted now. I know you are coming back, and I have already prepared dozens of jars of fine wine. I am afraid that you will not come."

Everyone was talking and laughing enthusiastically, they all crawled out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood together, there are still a few who have enmity, most of the friendship is acceptable, especially many times they are a community of interests.

Mei Sizu looked at the dusty Deng Yu and said: "Why don't you go back to the mansion to wash the dust and change your clothes before going to face the saint. It took me a few days to drive such a long distance, the superior will understand."

Deng Yu casually patted the dust on his sleeves, and the few people around him immediately avoided them pretending to be disgusted, but Deng Yu didn't take it seriously: "Let's just go, the superior will reward you more after reading it." Some silk royal wine and the like, and I was in a hurry when I came back, but I still hoped to get some things from the superior to see my wife."

"Gao Ming, it's really you."
