Chapter 232 VIP Guest
The prince suddenly opened his eyes and there was no one in the room.
It was already bright, and the sun shone through the window, but the bright sunshine could not illuminate the shadow in the prince's heart. The prince searched everywhere in fear.
Where is the person?
Where did the people go?
The prince was about to shout.
"Crown Prince, the third prince is here to see you."
The voice of the manager came from outside.
It was him, the prince widened his eyes. It must be him, he sneaked in and said those words.
The third brother wants him to die... Of course he can't die... Even if he dies, he will have to kill the third brother before he dies...
The manager opened the door and was about to go forward to serve the prince's clothes. The prince stood up barefoot, and there was a piece of porcelain on the couch. He held it in his hand and rushed out.
The third prince walked into the house with people. He reported to his father that he came to visit his elder brother. No matter how the prince was virtuous, he was their elder brother, and there should be no mistakes in etiquette.
The third prince had just ordered someone to report to the elder brother when he saw a figure rushing from the inner courtyard. The man was disheveled and his hair was messy, and he couldn't tell the face. The guards around the third prince were about to come forward to stop him, but he heard the manager say, "Don't hurt Your Highness the Prince."
The guard couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. In a moment of silence, the prince had already arrived.
"Big..." As soon as the third prince shouted a word, the prince pounced on the third prince, raised the broken porcelain pieces in his hand and stroked them to the third prince's neck.
The broken porcelain pieces cut the skin of the third prince's neck, and blood immediately flowed out. The prince gritted his teeth and waited for the deeper cut. The third prince came to his senses and grabbed the prince's arm with force, and used his hands and feet to shake off the prince on his body.
The prince was pushed and staggered, gritted his teeth and stood up again to fight against the third prince. His face was ferocious, his forehead was floating, and the broken porcelain pieces in his hand were pinched too tightly and slashed his palm. But he was completely unaware of it. He was determined to put the third prince to death and murmured: "Kill you, kill you, I want to kill you..."
"Come, come..."
The third prince covered his neck and the guard stepped forward to pull the prince, and the whole yard was in chaos.
"Crown Prince, Prince, this is the third prince, please let go."
"It was him who hurt me, it was him," the prince stared at the third prince, "He blamed me for pushing him down from the tree back then, and he always wanted to take revenge. Just now, he sneaked into my house and told me... He wanted to kill me, and I died... you can't live."
The guard finally pulled the prince away.
The Crown Princess ordered: "Take Your Highness down and ask the imperial physician to see your Highness and the Third Prince's injuries, go quickly."
The two guards lifted the prince up, and the prince kept shouting: "Kill him, kill him."
The Crown Princess looked at all this and her body couldn't help but tremble. Since she was carried into the Eastern Palace, she has been living tremblingly, thinking that it would be fine if she could be a fair person. But something happened to the Eastern Palace. It has not been dealt with here yet. His Royal Highness injured the third prince again and made trouble in front of the emperor. I am afraid that there will be even more reprimanding. What should I do?
"Let me send a letter to the Imperial Concubine!" The Crown Princess ordered the affairs, "This must be uncontrollable. Instead of letting the Imperial hear the news from others, it is better for us to report it ourselves first."
The Crown Princess suddenly understood the Wei family. When Empress Wei lost power, the Wei family was so prominent that it was like the sky falling. Now it was their turn. Perhaps they were not as good as the Wei family and Empress Wei. After several years of rest and recuperation, the Wei family seemed to have a look of rising again.
...
Wei Mansion.
Grandma Zhang, Wei’s grandmother, started to arrange a program early in the morning. Female family often came to the house. She was familiar with the preparation of these. After getting up, she went to the kitchen to check out the dishes. As a result, she found that the dishes in the kitchen were somewhat different from yesterday. After asking the chef, she realized that it was the farm that sent some fresh vegetables, fruits and wild game, which happened to entertain guests. This saved her trouble and could make good things convenient.
"The third master did not go to the yamen." The manager reported to Zhang.
Zhang was stunned. Uncle San has always been busy with official business and rarely stayed at home. Why did he happen to be at home today? Could it be that he would also attend a banquet?
"Do you want someone to ask?" As soon as the manager finished speaking, he saw the mother in the manager's yard walking over quickly.
The manager's mother said, "Third Master Mu Xiu, stay at home today and let me come and report to my grandma."
"Uncle San has a rare day off," Zhang said with a smile, "If you have anything to arrange, my mother will give you an order."
The manager's mother saluted Zhang.
This manager, Lu, was led into the mansion when the eldest master was there. He followed the third master to manage the affairs of the third master's yard. In addition, Lu's mother rarely talked to others and did not care about other trivial matters in the family. In Zhang's impression, this mother was taciturn, thoughtful and well-ruled, and had a special feeling, just like those female officials in the palace. Although she was a slave serving others, each of them had a high origin, so the people in the mansion naturally respected Lu's mother more.
Zhang once heard his mother-in-law talking to Lu's mother-in-law, asking about Lu's mother-in-law's yard. Even her mother-in-law's tone seemed to be discussing with Lu's mother, rather than just giving orders.
"Thank you for your hard work," said Lu's mother, "I can make some snacks. Just today, guests came to the kitchen to help."
Since Zhang married into the Wei family, he has never heard that Lu's mother would do these things. Zhang wanted to say something, but saw that Lu's mother looked calm and could not see anything strange from her clear eyes, as if this was an ordinary thing.
Mother Lu bowed to Zhang again: "Then I will go to the big kitchen."
Zhang nodded, and when Mama Lu walked away, Zhang came to his senses: "Let's go, go ahead and take a look."
Mother Lu walked into the big kitchen, and the mother in charge in the kitchen nodded to her, and saw Mother Lu move out a small box with all kinds of molds in it.
The mothers in charge looked surprised but couldn't go forward to ask, but saw that mother Lu rolled up her sleeves and was busy in the kitchen neatly.
Mother Lu's skillful kneading and kneading dough made everyone fascinated.
"I'm really upsetting my mother." The cook looked at Lu's mother and said.
Mother Lu smiled and said, "No."
The person who came to the door today may be the guests of the Third Master. Although the Third Master said nothing, there were some things that did not require the master's instructions. As a slave, you must understand that the person who came to the mansion to deliver food today was the head of the house that did the third Master. The Third Master would not go to the yamen for no reason. What's more, since she woke up in the morning, she saw Mu Qiu sending several clothes in to choose for the Third Master.
The third master solemnly invited someone to come in like this for the first time. As a slave, she naturally had to do something for her master.
...
After breakfast, Gu Mingzhu was pressed on the brocade by her mother. She carefully combed her two buns, and two wovens drooped on her bun, and some powder was applied to her face. Her mother was about to help her draw her eyebrows, but she immediately found an excuse to go to the garden to find Lantern Festival.
The Wei family is a relative, and her mother was afraid that her natural face would be rude in front of the Wei family. The noble girl always pays attention to using rouge and water powder. Gu Mingzhu's usual dressing looks too perfunctory than the noble girl, but Gu Mingzhu cannot dress up. In order not to be easily recognized in the future, the less eye-catching the face is, the better.
Looking at Zhuzhu's jumping back, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but sigh: "That's it, I guess the Wei family won't blame it."
"Zhuzhu," said Mrs. Lin, "Stop playing, we are going to the Wei family."
Gu Mingzhu looked at Baotong, who followed with a bag.
"What is that?" Mrs. Lin couldn't help asking.
"Flower cake," Gu Mingzhu smiled, "for Xiaobai."
