Chapter 703: Poking a Knife vs Sprinkling Dog Food
"Oh." Mingruo's lips curled up slightly, "Princess Ayina can just relax and wait for the marriage. The Supreme Emperor has a kind heart. Hearing that Prince Adili has been wronged, he has sent a decree to betroth Princess Qiyang to him."
"What Princess Qiyang? Why haven't you heard of this princess before?" Ayina suddenly became unhappy when her trump card failed to work.
"Princess Ayina has only been in the emperor for a long time. Naturally, she cannot recognize the whole person. You will know later." Ming Ruo secretly cursed in her heart. The 'Princess Qiyang' was just given the title of 'Princess Qiyang' by the Supreme Emperor this morning. Don't say that Ayina has never heard of it.
, even I had just heard of it, "However, if you follow Prince Nanling back to Nanling, you won't be able to stay in the imperial capital for long."
Princess Yunqin stabbed her heart with every word, and Ayina regretted coming to Prince Yun's palace. But the inexplicable pride still made her raise her chin, looking high and mighty.
Mingruo felt that the way Ayina raised her chest and raised her head looked like Dahong who was about to crow.
Afraid that I would laugh, I just wanted to send her away quickly: "Princess Ayina, please come back. Prince Nanling will come to discuss the wedding arrangements soon."
Ayina didn't want to say a word, her chest was so tight that if it weren't for the concern about her image, she would have wanted to punch it a few times.
Before dawn, Si Haochen led his secret guards to track Bei Chi Xizuo's whereabouts. In one fell swoop, he found Xizuo's lair hidden in Huangjue Temple on the outskirts of the city, and incidentally captured two people from Ziwei Palace.
Huangjue Temple is on the way to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. On New Year's Eve, you must go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to worship your ancestors. Beichi Xizou chose this place because he must have planned it in advance. If the plan is successful, members of the Donghuan royal family may have to take more than half of it.
Si Haochen personally interrogated several details, and questioned all the important matters. He left the rest to Qin Mo and rushed back to the palace, hoping to catch up with his wife for lunch.
He rode his horse all the way back, and when he arrived at the gate of the house, he threw the reins of his horse to the porter's boy and walked inside.
Butler Zhou followed the prince and talked about Princess Xiliang's visit to the house. Si Haochen paused, turned around, and went straight to Jia'an Palace.
As soon as Si Haochen walked into the Jia'an Palace, he saw his wife wearing a fox fur coat sitting on the main seat, looking like a "general". Fortunately, his girl seemed not to be bullied. (Ayina:
Your mind has gone to the creaking nest... It is this princess who has been completely tortured...)
"Why don't you ask someone to bring the fumigation basket?" His Royal Highness Prince Yun obviously felt that it was not warm enough to just put a brazier in such a large space. He took the princess's hand and warmed it in his palm like no one else was watching, "Is it cold?" #@$&
Mingruo shook his head: "I only said a few words to Princess Ayina here, and I didn't stay long."
"Irrelevant people, what do you have to say?" Si Haochen led his wife out and said, "There are new year's goods from Jiangnan. There are sweet oranges and osmanthus jelly candies that you like. I will take you to see them."
"Is there cured duck? Grandpa likes to steam cured duck with wine." As soon as Mingruo heard that there was something delicious, she immediately forgot about Ayina.
"Hmm..." His Royal Highness Prince Yun didn't see if there was any salted duck, but the princess's mother-in-law loved to eat it, and Eunuch Ke would definitely prepare it and send it to her.
Ayina was first stabbed several times in the heart by Princess Yun, and then she was stuffed with dog food by Prince Yun. Her whole body felt bad.%&(&
As soon as Ayina was invited out of the gate of Prince Yun's Mansion by Butler Zhou, she saw Brother Wang's attendant spinning around anxiously beside the carriage.
When the attendant saw the princess coming out, she hurriedly greeted her: "Your Royal Highness, the prince asked you to go back quickly. Prince Nanling and the prince have just reached an agreement, and they will go to the post house to pick up the bride soon..."
"The wedding will happen soon?" Ayina suddenly became unhappy, "This is too hasty!"
The attendant also knew that this was really hasty, but the prince was poisoned, and the antidote was still in the hands of Prince Nanling. The princess was wet with him again, and the initiative was not on their side at all: "The prince has already agreed, princess, it is better to hurry up
Go back and get ready."
"Humph!" Ayina got on the carriage and ordered the driver to drive faster.
Ayina returned to the inn. The maid she had ordered to stay in the inn had already prepared a neatly pressed wedding dress and fragrant bathing water.
Ayina brushed away the maid who came forward to serve, and turned her head to look at Brother Wang: "Today's wedding is too hasty, I won't marry!"
"Then when are you going to get married? Do you want to wait until that 'whore' woman has subdued everyone around Nan Zhengyan and gave birth to a legitimate son?" Adili looked down at his still blackened palms, feeling in his heart
It's a deep resentment.
"..." Ayina was speechless by Brother Wang, and let her maid bathe and dress her up, like a stiff puppet.
Mingruo 'reviewed' the 'New Year's goods' sent by Eunuch Ke's order, and was very satisfied with the various preserved preserved fruits.
The steward responsible for escorting the New Year's goods presented a delicate brocade box, which he said was given to the princess by the young master.
Mingruo opened the brocade box with great interest: "Let me see what Xuan'er brought."
On the bright yellow satin is an ebony comb that is as warm as jade. The back of the comb is chiselled with vivid lotus flowers. Next to it is a long-handled silver mirror inlaid with ebony. On the back of the mirror is a pattern of fish playing with lotus leaves.
There was also a note written by Xiao Tuanzi in the brocade box, saying that he and Eunuch Ke made the comb and silver mirror together, and hoped that his sister-in-law would like them.
Ming Ruo stroked the teeth of the comb gently, each one was polished extremely smooth, and it looked like it had been carefully polished.
"This writing doesn't make any progress at all." Si Haochen threw the note aside casually.
"It looks pretty good. Education must be method-based. It's not good to blindly attack." Considering Xiaotuanzi's age, this word can be said to be very good.
After all, even in this era of using brushes, many six- or seven-year-old children are still writing large characters. It is rare for Xiaotuanzi to be able to write neatly and neatly in small regular script.
"When I was his age, I could write much better, but I was hated to death by the 'stinky old man'!" Si Haochen felt that compared to the Supreme Emperor, he was not a 'shock' at all.
"You still remember it now, which shows how grudged you were back then..." Mingruo raised his hand and touched His Royal Highness Prince Yun's head, "Xuan'er is definitely not as resistant as you, so you have to be more gentle."
"You!" Si Haochen felt that if he and Ruo'er had a son, the brat would be spoiled by Ruo'er.
"Believe me, that's right." Mingruo put the comb and silver mirror given by Xuan'er, including the note, into the space.
Zi Su and Ji Yue came in laughing and chatting. Seeing that the prince was also there, they hurriedly said hello respectfully.
Ming Ruo smiled and pushed Si Haochen to the study: "Go and do your business, we are going to share the New Year's goods."
"Okay." Si Haochen didn't like to deal with these trivial matters, but he was very cooperative.
Jiyue covered her mouth and snickered: "The prince has such a good temper."
"Yes." Zi Su nodded, the prince only had a good temper towards the princess.
