Before the sun set, the team finally stopped outside the north gate of Lu County.
The magistrate of Lu County was notified in advance and went out of the city to meet him.
"Shi Yushun, the lower official, is here to welcome the prince and princess!"
The voice is loud and full of energy.
Prince Qian didn't even get off the carriage. Anu jumped off the carriage and bowed to him, saying, "Magistrate Shi is interested. My prince has a hard time traveling. If you have anything to do, let's go to the city first."
"That's right, that's right. I didn't think well enough to welcome the king. Please!" Magistrate Shi asked everyone to move back to the roadside and let King Qian and Princess Qian's carriage enter the city.
Led by people from the county government, the master of Prince Qian's Mansion was arranged to a separate courtyard.
The masters of the Hou Mansion and their in-laws were arranged in two adjacent large inns.
As for the guards and convoys of each prefecture, except for the necessary guards to maintain safety, the rest could not stay in the county. They all passed directly through the county and were arranged to camp in the open space outside the south gate of the county.
The carriage of the masters of the Hou Mansion was parked outside the inn. Li Chengxian was helped out of the carriage by the maid, and then she saw the carriage of the in-laws' family parked in front of another inn.
She couldn't help but curiously asked the guards of the Hou Mansion standing by the road: "Where is the carriage of Prince Qian's Mansion? Which inn does my father and the others stay in?"
The guard answered truthfully: "Go back to Madam Prince, the prince has another residence. I don't know where exactly he has been taken to."
Hearing this, Li Chengxian's face looked a little ugly.
Compared to camping in the wild, an inn in the county town is considered a comfortable place to stay.
At this time, I heard that people from Prince Qian's Mansion had arranged another place to stay. Needless to say, the conditions must be several times better than the conditions at the inn.
"What does Magistrate Lu mean? Does he think the people in the Hou Mansion are not qualified to treat him differently? Why don't you arrange us in one place?"
Li Chengxian did not control the volume at all. When the government servant who led them over heard her words, he stood nervously at the door of the inn, not knowing how to explain to this lady?
Mrs. Changpinghou was being supported by her maid and was about to go up the steps. When she heard her daughter-in-law's words, she stopped. With a tired look on her face, she said softly: "Xian'er, you don't have to pay so much attention when you go out. County Magistrate Shi has already
Try your best to entertain us, it would be nice to have an inn here, don’t be too picky."
I really thought it could be compared with Wangfuhoufu outside!
If she hadn't gone out and there were outsiders here, she would have really wanted to punish her.
Don’t use your brain when talking or doing things.
If it weren't for the sake of Prince Qian's palace, who would dare to marry a woman with such a bad temper as her as their daughter-in-law?
Li Chengxian swept the door of the inn with disgust, "Mother, my father must have been arranged by the county magistrate to go to some other courtyard. How can the inn be as comfortable as the other courtyard with so many people coming and going!"
Mrs. Changping Hou glanced at her displeasedly, with a warning in her eyes: "The county magistrate arranged for your father to show his respect for the prince. Don't forget that you are now a married woman and a member of our Hou family.
Madam Prince."
Li Chengxian was slightly startled, not knowing why Mrs. Changping Hou suddenly spoke harshly to her.
It was her daughter-in-law who gave her a hand that made her react and follow the force and they entered the inn together.
As soon as Changping Hou and his family settled in the inn, they sent someone to the grain store to buy grain while it was still dark.
Prince Qian would not worry about such trivial matters in Prince Qian's Mansion, and Zeng Yan did not even need his master's instructions. He would arrange for people to buy the supplies he needed as soon as he entered the city.
The size of the villa cannot be compared with that of the Royal Palace in Beijing. The number of rooms is limited, basically one room per courtyard.
King Qian, Xia Jing and several of King Qian's concubines occupied the main courtyard, and the other rooms each had their own courtyards. Compared to the outdoors, although the other courtyards were crowded, they were still better than the outdoors.
King Qian entered the main courtyard and walked into the main room as he should.
Xia Jing's footsteps paused slightly. Before she could choose which room, Aunt Sun, who was following behind, spoke.
"The prince and the princess will live in the main room, my sister and I will live in the east and west wing rooms, and the remaining rooms will be used by the maids and ladies. Does my sister think this arrangement is appropriate for me?"
Xia Jing turned around and looked at her sideways. She had never seen a woman with such a strong desire to express herself, and it didn't matter whether it was within the rules for her to arrange this matter. Don't think that she didn't know the dirty thoughts in her heart.
Wasn't it because she saw that she was at odds with King Qian and wanted them to live together to intensify the conflict?
Hongmei and Baimei usually get along with Xia Jing day and night, so they naturally know how much she hates King Qian now, and for a while they don't know whether they should go in and deal with it.
King Qian's heart moved when he heard this. He glanced at Xia Jing who was walking beside him. He didn't know what was going on, but he was still looking forward to it.
This woman made him angry every time, so how could he expect anything from her?
Do you have masochistic tendencies?
Xia Jing turned around and found that King Qian had actually slowed down. This scumbag really dared to think.
She snorted coldly and strode into the main room.
The room at the entrance of the main room is used for receiving guests, and there are two rooms on the left and right.
The left and right rooms are divided into two rooms, light and dark, so the main room is very spacious.
In such a spacious room, with men on the left and women on the right, Xia Jing took the lead in choosing the room on the right and let King Qian live in the room on the left.
The two maids behind him saw their master entering the room on the right and hurriedly followed him in.
King Qian: "."
Anu lowered his head and tried to reduce his presence.
Hongmei was the last one to enter the room. As soon as she entered the room, she closed the door with her backhand, blocking King Qian's inquiring sight.
Baimei put the daily necessities she brought in into the cabinet.
While sorting it out, she asked: "Princess, why don't you take the opportunity to reconcile with the prince?"
Watching their relationship as husband and wife along the way, and watching the women who went to spend the night in the king's tent changing one after another, she was almost anxious to death.
Xia Jing slumped on the chair. After a day of jolting, all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.
After listening to the little girl's words, she felt helpless. Hongmei was frightened by her once and did not dare to mention King Qian in front of her.
Now it's another girl talking about it.
Xia Jing put one hand on her forehead, "I ask you to serve a fat old man, are you willing?"
"Ah?!" Bai Mei was startled and stammered, "Wang, Princess, don't you want to be a slave anymore?"
"Pfft!"
Hongmei, who was making the bed, couldn't help laughing. The princess was now letting herself go more and more.
"The princess didn't say she doesn't want you, she just wants you to do more and talk less, and get less involved in the master's affairs. We can do whatever the master tells us to do, and we must be careful in what we say and what we say."
Bai Mei glanced at Xia Jing guiltily and responded stupidly, "Oh, I will remember this."
Hongmei made the bed, turned around and said with a smile: "Princess, please go and prepare hot water. You can wash up soon."
Xia Jing looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile, "Well, remember to ask the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water with ginger. I will soak my feet in ginger water before going to bed later."
After running around for the past few days, my body, which had begun to decline, couldn't bear it any longer, so I had to take a bubble bath to soothe my muscles and bones.
"Okay, I'll take note of this."
Hongmei exited the room, and Baimei speeded up her hands to tidy up her belongings. She also exited the room and went to the kitchen to pick up tonight's dinner.
