After hearing this, Sun Mengmeng did not dare to stay any longer, for fear that a dog would come out and bite her. She hurriedly walked out of the princess's house with her girl Xin'er, and disappeared into the princess's mansion in an instant.
Xiao Yuanyuan suddenly picked up the tea cup at hand and dropped it heavily to the ground. Xueer saw it and ran over quickly,
"What happened to the princess? What did she say to the princess?"
What did you say?
Can she speak out? Can she have the nerve to tell others what Sun Mengmeng said just now?
The man she had just married had an affair with someone else in the street. This was truly a curiosity and a scandal in the world.
She waved her hands feebly and stood up slowly,
"Prepare some water for me to take a bath and sleep."
Now she just wants to soak in hot water and lie down for a while. It is best to wash away the irritability in her body and give her heart a moment of peace.
She couldn't figure it out, how could Biaozi, who had always been dull, do such a thing? He used to blush when he looked at women, but now how could he do such an outrageous thing as making out with other women in the street?
It seems that people can really change. He dared to do such a shameless thing not long after he came to the capital as a businessman. It is really hateful.
Reconciliation?
No……
She can't be so cheap to him.
Let him be beheaded by the emperor?
No……
She couldn't let everyone know about this matter. She was a princess personally named by the emperor. If everyone knew about this matter, it would not only be embarrassing to Sun Mengmeng and Wang Biao, but she, the eldest princess, would also become the laughing stock of the world.
It's scary to think about it.
The more she thought about this, the more irritated she became. She closed her eyes tightly and buried her body in the tub, with only her head exposed. The scent of petals in the water was fragrant, and the heat was rising, making her heart quiet for a moment.
She has to think carefully about what she should do about this matter. She must not become a joke in others' mouths.
Early the next morning, as the eldest princess was preparing to return home, there was a lively scene at the entrance of the princess mansion.
Xiao Yuanyuan appeared at the door of the princess's house in a pink dress with an indifferent expression. The womanly bun on her head indicated that she was married, although she did not even enter the bridal chamber.
No one knew what her plans were today, and she didn't want others to know her plans, so she went out early because she knew that today was the day she returned to the palace after three days of getting married, and the princess agreed to accompany her.
Hers, now she doesn't want her to accompany him.
"The carriage is ready. Princess, please get on board."
She nodded slightly, stretched out her hand and was supported by Xue'er as she walked down the steps to the carriage.
Under the carriage, servants were already kneeling and crawling on the ground as stepping stones, waiting for the princess to get on the horse.
It is not easy for Xiao Yuanyuan to achieve the glory she has today. Her status as the eldest princess is extremely noble. Even the emperor will respect her a bit when he sees her. Her brother will be happy for her if he sees it in heaven, so she cannot let this life happen.
Ended in gossip.
Although she was expressionless as she sat in the carriage, her heart was already turbulent like a turbulent wave.
As soon as she left, Su Muer's carriage arrived on the back.
It was still the gatekeeper. When he saw Su Muer this time, he did not dare to neglect him anymore. Instead, he nodded and bowed and said:
"Princess, the eldest princess is not here, does the princess want to go in?"
Aren't there early in the morning?
Su Muer frowned and asked in surprise:
"Where did the princess go?"
"I'm going back to the palace for a kiss. I won't be back until tonight."
So early?
Su Mu'er couldn't help but secretly blame Ye Shihan in her heart. Originally, she planned to get up early, but today was Ye Shihan's day off to take a bath and he didn't have to go to court, so he just pulled her to lie with him on the bed until this hour.
After bidding farewell to the Princess Mansion, she was thinking about whether to follow up to the palace and take a look at Biaozi's situation, but after thinking about it, she might as well forget it. It was still early and today was her three-day wedding day, but she didn't.
There is a place to visit relatives, so it is better to go back home and wait. Maybe Xiao Yuanyuan interceded for Wang Biao without knowing it. As long as Sun Mengmeng doesn't say it and Wang Biao doesn't say it, no one will know about it.
It's not that she doesn't sympathize with Xiao Yuanyuan, it's just that she has to consider her face. No woman can accept such a thing happening to her, so even if they are as close as sisters, she can't tell her about it to avoid giving her trouble.
To increase her worries, she now only hopes that Wang Biao will be able to enlighten his mind and properly intercede in front of Xiao Yuanyuan, or at least wait until her anger subsides before talking about this matter.
Thinking of this, she turned around and said to Liu Ye:
"Go back home."
Within a quarter of an hour, she returned to the palace again. At this time, Ye Shihan was changing clothes. After Liu Hai was appointed as the cavalry general, the matter of changing clothes for the prince was taken over by Laifu, the servant in the palace.
The door to the bedroom was open. Su Muer wanted to see if Ye Shihan had gotten up, so she walked straight through the main hall and went to the bedroom at the back.
Seeing her coming back, Ye Shihan waved his hand directly to Laifu,
"You go down!"
Laifu responded, turned around and went out. Su Mu'er stepped forward and helped him adjust the girdle that had not yet been tied, while scolding,
"You, when you see me, you have to let me serve you. Why don't you let Laifu help you get dressed?"
"You are my wife, and a wife should serve your husband. Besides, I can't trust others who are stupid."
"Aren't my hands clumsy?"
While speaking, she tightened her girdle so hard that Ye Shihan grimaced, but he still held back and shook his head.
"You're not stupid, the princess's hands are the most gentle."
This guy loved teasing her the most.
"Didn't you go to see Xiao Yuanyuan? Why are you back?"
Regarding the matter between Wang Biao and Sun Mengmeng, she did not tell Ye Shihan. If one less person knew about this matter, there would be less risk of it being spread. Although Ye Shihan was not a gossip-loving person, there was no way to protect him.
When Tian saw Biaozi, he didn't have the urge to grit his teeth and beat him up.
So she hid it, maybe she would tell him one day when she had the chance, but definitely not now.
"She entered the palace early in the morning, and I will be back soon."
"Do you think she will plead for Biaozi?"
Su Muer walked to the table and sat down. She poured a glass of water and took a sip, then shook her head.
"I don't know. I originally wanted to check on her in the morning, but she left. I have to wait until I come back in the evening."
Ye Shihan straightened his clothes, came to her side, pulled her up, held her tightly in his arms, and murmured softly,
"Today is a day off for rest. I originally wanted to stay with you at home, but I have something to do in the military camp."
She raised her hand and pinched his nose lightly, smiling and scolding,
"Go ahead. If you have time, go to the palace and inquire about Biaozi's situation. I'll be busy soon."
"What's the matter with you? You can't be too tired. My princess shouldn't run on the street all day."
"I understand, go and get busy."
Su Mu'er couldn't wait to push him away, turned him around, and pushed him out of the door.
This man is always like this. During the three days since they got married, he has been saying these words in her ears all day long:
Don't go out, don't be too tired, don't show up in public, don't do this or that, then what is she going to do? Be an idler at home? Embroider and dance all day long? Then she really can't do it, and what's the use of those things? She doesn't
I wish I could be a useless canary.
After Su Muer left, she rested for a while before taking Liu Ye and two servants out.
Today she was going to purchase medicinal materials. In order to prevent Dazhou from traveling back and forth, she decided to buy the medicinal materials, divide them one by one, and then label them. When the time comes, she would order someone to deliver them to Dazhou, asking him to go to the mountain according to the appearance of these medicinal materials.
After collecting the medicine, she finally passed it under her eyes to ensure that nothing went wrong.
While collecting medicinal materials, she also didn't forget to look for a place suitable for opening a medicine store. Unknowingly, she came to Wutong Lane, where she opened Malatang. Now the plaques are no longer there.
, the plaque given by the emperor back then still hangs at the street entrance, but it is a little dilapidated.
She just stood at the street corner and took a look before leaving. She originally wanted to use Ye Shihan's Tingyu Pavilion to run a medicine shop, but there were too many memories of her here, about Yuan Min, about her mother and grandmother, and she was afraid
Memories, so she gave up the idea and thought of looking elsewhere.
When Xiao Yuanyuan returned to the palace, the people from the Ministry of Rites had prepared a generous homecoming banquet for her in accordance with the emperor's order, but she was in no mood to eat it.
In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor personally received Xiao Yuanyuan.
At this time, the emperor lost his former immaturity and became calm and meaningful.
He looked at Xiao Yuanyuan's face and looked a little ugly. Seeing that Xiao Yuanyuan was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask,
"Is Sister Xiao still adapting to life after getting married?"
"It's not bad to drag the emperor's blessing."
"That's good. Sister Xiao seems to be in a bad mood. Is there something wrong? If you have anything to say, please just say it. I will make the decision for you."
He didn't want to mention that Wang Biao thing, he wanted her to say it herself, and he wanted to hear her say how to deal with him.
Xiao Yuanyuan pondered for a while, frowned and said slowly:
"I heard that the emperor ordered my consort to be imprisoned. I don't know why?"
She was asking questions knowingly, but she didn't want to say it directly because she was afraid that if she did say it, she would cry.
Although the emperor was young, he knew her thoughts. He looked at her and said bluntly:
"How does sister want to deal with the consort? I listen to you."
Xiao Yuanyuan pursed her lips and seemed to have made a big decision before saying:
"Please, Your Majesty, let go of your consort. No matter what the Emperor hears, he is also my consort. I can just handle family matters like this behind closed doors, so I won't bother Your Majesty."
Her words surprised the emperor. He originally thought that she would complain to him angrily, but she asked him to let her go.
He squinted at her with confusion, "Sister, have you thought about it?"
"I have thought about it. My sister will go home and take care of his family affairs. Please let the emperor let him go."
The emperor looked at her sad face and nodded helplessly,
"Okay, in that case, let's treat my sister to a homecoming banquet before returning to the mansion. I will have someone take him back to the princess' mansion then."
"Your Majesty has taken the trouble."
Xiao Yuanyuan felt unspeakable sadness in her heart at this time. She could not tell the emperor directly about Biaozi and Sun Mengmeng, she could only hide it in her heart.
This royal lunch was personally accompanied by the emperor. Although Xiao Yuanyuan was in a bad mood, she tried her best to keep smiling. She knew that the emperor really cared about her, and she couldn't let the emperor worry about her.
After the luncheon, Xiao Yuanyuan said a simple goodbye to the emperor and left the palace. She was anxious to go back not because she couldn't wait to see Biaozi, but because she wanted to go back and ask him why he did that? How could she be inferior to that Sun Mengmeng?
?
Wang Biao was already sitting in the hall of the Princess Mansion. He was escorted back by people from Shuntian Mansion, and his official position was temporarily suspended by the emperor. Overnight, he changed from a former headhunter to one with no future.
What an ordinary person.
As soon as Xiao Yuanyuan arrived at the door, Butler Zhou, who was in charge of the mansion, came to greet her.
"The princess is back."
"Well, is the consort back?"
"I'm back. I'm waiting for the princess in the main hall."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. She turned to Xue'er and said:
"Go get my whip."
"Princess, this..."
"Go quickly."
She wants to teach her man a lesson in her own way. No matter what, he is her consort. This is an indisputable fact. Now that she cannot reconcile, she will make him her slave. Only by torturing him can she be relieved.
hate.
When she entered the house with the leather whip, Biaozi was so frightened that he stood up from his chair, his knees softened, and he fell to his knees directly. He slapped his mouth while admitting his mistake,
"I was wrong, I'm not a human being, I'm not a human being, I'm not a human being."
His mouth was slapped so hard that Xiao Yuanyuan was heartbroken.
She suddenly raised her whip. At this moment, Wang Biao stopped slapping his mouth and looked at her with red eyes.
"Hit me, beat me to death. I'm not a human being. I'm worse than a beast."
Listening to his words, Xiao Yuanyuan knew that what Sun Mengmeng said was definitely true.
She suddenly pulled out the whip unceremoniously, aimed it at his body and hit him hard. He grinned in pain, but did not dare to say a word.
"This whip, I want to ask you, why didn't you come back to our bridal chamber at night?"
"Snapped!"
"This whip, I want to ask you, why are you silent? Not even an explanation?"
"Pop!"
"This whip I want to ask you why is it Sun Mengmeng? Why is it her?"
After three whips were struck, Xiao Yuanyuan fell weakly onto the chair behind her, tears falling down her cheeks.
Her three whips were really severe, and Wang Biao's clothes were in tatters.
"Yuanyuan, I am not a human being, please divorce me."
Xiao Yuanyuan couldn't help but pursed her lips and sneered, "I'm going to divorce you? Who am I, Xiao Yuanyuan? On the day I got married, the groom was living with someone else, and I divorced my husband three days after we got married? If anyone knew about this, how could I still have the dignity to live in this world?
?The spittle of the world can drown me."
"Then you treat me as a slave. Let me work and serve you. I drank too much that day. I don't know. I don't know anything."
Seeing him bursting into tears, Xiao Yuanyuan suddenly gave a cold cry,
"You don't know? You are going to die happily. I have thought about it. For the sake of my reputation, I allow you to marry Sun Mengmeng as your concubine, as long as she is willing."
"No, no, no, I was wrong. Please don't scare me. I feel like I would rather die now. I was wrong. I, Wang Biao, will not dare to touch any woman except you in this life."
"Snapped!"
Her whip hit him again, causing him to be stunned and then lowered his head.
He was in the wrong. He had an affair with another woman on their wedding day. He felt that he was sorry for his bride. He didn't even dare to come back to have a wedding with her. No matter how she beat him, he felt that it was natural. Who could let him?
He did something wrong.
Xiao Yuanyuan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled contemptuously,
"You still expect to have a woman like me? You are not worthy, you are dirty, you are too dirty."
As she spoke, she suddenly roared outside,
"Steward Zhou, take the Prince Consort to take a bath. He is too dirty. Put more salt on him."
Put salt?
He is covered in wounds. Are you trying to rub salt into his wounds?
Housekeeper Zhou looked at the scarred consort and looked at Xiao Yuanyuan with some embarrassment.
"Sprinkling salt in the bathwater? Isn't that inappropriate?"
Xiao Yuanyuan said directly and lightly:
"There's nothing inappropriate. My husband is too dirty. He needs to be disinfected with salt. Why don't you go ahead and do it?"
Seeing that she was a little angry, Butler Zhou quickly responded and stepped forward to help Wang Biao out of the main hall.
Xiao Yuanyuan had no intention of taking another look at him, but closed her eyes slightly with sadness on her face, unable to bear the thought of him and Sun Mengmeng being together.
Sun Mengmeng, if you dare to steal my man, then I will make you look good.
Thinking of this, she suddenly shouted:
"Xue'er, Xue'er."
Xueer heard the call and ran in hastily,
"Princess, what's wrong?"
"Let the accounting office prepare it. Tomorrow morning you will personally take someone to deliver the betrothal gift to Miss Sun."
Give a betrothal gift?
Xueer looked at her in astonishment, "Princess, what do you mean?"
"I feel sorry for my concubine. I want to marry her a concubine. What's wrong with that?"
Concubine?
Xue'er was even more puzzled, "Miss Sun can be a concubine? Besides, how can a prince-in-law marry a concubine? This is neither reasonable nor reasonable."
Xiao Yuanyuan naturally understands this truth, but Sun Mengmeng makes her feel uncomfortable, and she naturally won't let her feel comfortable. She just wants to disgust her until she comes to beg for mercy.
At this point, she said again:
"When I go there tomorrow, I will directly tell Miss Sun that the prince-in-law insulted her in the street. Afterwards, the prince-in-law felt deeply ashamed and worried that it would affect Miss Sun's marriage, so he made an exception and took Miss Sun as his concubine and entered the princess's mansion to serve the prince-in-law."
Hearing this, Xueer looked at her with wide eyes in astonishment.
"Bullying her in the street? Princess, are you kidding me?"
She suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at Xue'er, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Of course it's not like that. The prince-in-law didn't return from the wedding night and was beaten all over by the princess just now. It seems that the princess's words are serious.
Xue'er quickly shook her head, bent her knees and saluted,
"Slave, let's do it now."
After saying that, she quickly turned around and left.
She had already thought about it last night. Since she was embarrassed on the wedding day, she couldn't let Sun Mengmeng have an easy time. Thinking about her seemingly kind-hearted reminder yesterday, she was so angry.
Su Mu'er spent the whole morning visiting several large drug stores in the capital, brought uncrushed medicinal material samples back to the palace, and spent the afternoon classifying the medicinal materials, and then labeling the names of each medicinal material.
and the efficacy of the medicine, so that Dazhou can easily identify it.
It was already evening when all this was done. Liu Ye had already prepared dinner and called her three times.
"Princess, the food has gone cold. The prince ordered someone to send a message back and asked the fifth concubine to eat first. He won't be back until later."
