Chapter 426
Chang'an City, Yankang Square, Prince Chu's Mansion.

At the end of July, Bailu is the turn of Meng Zhong after autumn, when the weather is getting colder, Chang'an City is located in Guanzhong, especially so, in just a few days, the people in the city have already taken off their thin shirts , added a few thick coats.

In the north of Chang'an City, on the alley near the palace city, there is a double four-wheeled, ornately decorated carriage passing by Xingdaofang, crossing Tianjie, and heading towards Yankangfang.

The north of Xingdaofang is close to Zhuque Gate, and the alleyway in the north of Xingdaofang is on the outskirts of the imperial city. According to the regulations, no one, horse or horse, is allowed to pass outside the Zhuque Gate. However, no one dared to stop.

Because although no flags were hung on this carriage, the soldiers of the Imperial Army have been stationed here all year round, and the carriages of the most powerful families in Beijing are all recognized. The carriage in front of me is exactly Chu It belongs to the palace, and sitting in the carriage is His Royal Highness Chu's new concubine Chu this year.

The majestic King and Concubine of Chu can come and go freely in the palace, let alone here.

"Xiao Niang, it's still early, but it's only Zhongqiu. Why did you prepare such a thick material? I'm afraid I won't be able to use it now." In the carriage of the Chu Palace, Jin'er, who married into the palace with Wu Meiniang, looked at the carriage. There are many brocades that Wu Meiniang bought in Dongshi, and she asked Wu Meiniang puzzled.

Wu Meiniang said: "Your Highness is in Bingzhou, and he often goes outside the Great Wall. The weather in Mobei is even worse than that in Guanzhong. I'm afraid it will snow in a month or so. I will prepare some thick clothes for Your Highness now, and there should be still time." .”

Jin'er asked: "Miss, are you going to prepare winter clothes for His Highness?"

Wu Meiniang said: "That's right, it's cold in the north, Your Highness is going to the north, and he's in a hurry, and I didn't bring thick clothes with me, I have to prepare some for Your Highness, and ask someone to send it over."

Jin'er laughed and said: "Your Highness is a dignified prince and the governor of Bingzhou. How can he have no clothes to wear when he arrives in the North? What's more, His Highness brings winter clothes from the palace every year, and the noble concubine must have ordered the Shangyi Bureau in the palace to sew them." I've got winter clothes, so why bother my little lady."

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said: "No matter how good the things in the palace are, they belong to the palace after all, not from our Chu Palace. His Highness is at the side of the outer governor. If our palace is not prepared for anything, we will keep the things in the palace close and others will get in the way." We will not talk about the power of the Chu Palace, but there will be gossip behind the scenes."

Jin'er heard the words, nodded and said: "What my aunt said is that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at our Chu Palace now, inside and outside the palace, it is good to be more considerate when doing things."

As Jin'er spoke, she seemed to think of something again, and said to Wu Meiniang: "My lady wants to send the clothes to His Highness, why bother to entrust others, and just order Sister Dan'er to send them. The army is full of rough people, so it is inevitable to take care of Your Highness." Dan'er has gone, and there is someone beside His Highness who knows how to take care of you."

Wu Meiniang lightly tapped Jin'er's nose, and asked with a smile, "You didn't mean that, but Dan'er asked you to tell me?"

Jin'er was surprised when he heard the words, and asked, "How does my young lady know that Sister Dan'er entrusted the maid to say this?"

Wu Meiniang said: "You and Dan'er have been very close these days, can you pretend that I can't see you?"

Jin'er explained: "This time His Highness is going north, and Sister Dan'er wants to accompany her, but she feels that it is not appropriate to speak up, so she entrusts the maidservant to speak. Although the maidservant and Sister Dan'er have only known each other for two months, But in the eyes of the servant girl, Dan'er is different from the housekeeper and maidservant in the big mansion. Sister Dan'er has followed His Highness for many years, has won His Highness's trust, and has a detached status in the mansion, but she has no airs. Feel comfortable."

Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "When you were in the mansion, you were afraid that you would be controlled too strictly by the servant girl in charge of the Chu Palace, but now it seems that you and Dan'er get along well."

Jin'er said: "Miss Dan'er is different from what the servant girl originally thought. Sister Dan'er knows that the maidservant is a personal maid who married into the palace with the young lady, and she is not greedy for power, and she takes the initiative to hand over all important tasks in the palace and outside the courtyard to others." The servant girl came to take care of it and helped the servant girl a lot."

Dan'er's temperament is indifferent, he seldom competes with others, and he treats people kindly in the mansion, which is well known by everyone in the Chu Palace, so Jin'er's words make sense.

Wu Meiniang listened to Jin'er's words, nodded and said: "You are right, Dan'er is different from ordinary maids, Dan'er is the personal maid personally pointed out by the mother concubine to His Highness, when His Highness was young, Dan'er even followed Your Highness has been to the Northland for four years, and has experienced hardships with His Highness, and you have deep affection and trust, but what you said is not exactly the same."

Jin'er asked in puzzlement: "I don't know where the servant girl's words are wrong?"

Wu Meiniang said: "The reason why Dan'er entrusted you with all the affairs of the family is not because she is not greedy for power at all, there are other reasons."

Jin'er is also a smart person, after hearing what Wu Meiniang said, after thinking about it, she understood the truth.

Jin'er said: "Sister Dan'er is a person who came out of the imperial concubine's palace. She followed His Highness around when he was a child, and has the trust of His Highness. I'm afraid she will be accepted as a side concubine sooner or later."

Wu Meiniang said: "That's right, that's the reason. In the past, His Highness was not yet married, so it was naturally inconvenient to take concubines, but now His Highness is married, so naturally he can take concubines. Since ancient times, there is no reason for side concubines to be housekeepers. His Highness is not in the palace. Zhong naturally regards me as the leader, you are the personal maid married with me, and it will be sooner or later that Dan'er will entrust the affairs of the house to you."

Jin'er said: "In that case, it would be inconvenient to ask Sister Dan'er to go to Taiyuan first."

Wu Meiniang said: "That's right, that's exactly what I mean. Dan'er is good and she can be trusted. We must not wrong her, we must treat each other well, but we still have to do everything to prevent it from happening."

"Xiaoniang said yes." Jin'er responded.

Although Jin'er and Dan'er are on good terms, she and Wu Meiniang are the ones who have the most at stake in the end, so naturally they all consider from Wu Meiniang's point of view.

Although Wu Meiniang and Jin'er didn't make their words clear, the implication was very clear. Sooner or later, Dan'er was going to be Li Ke's side concubine. If Dan'er was asked to go to Taiyuan first, Wu Meiniang was pregnant with Li Ke first. The heir of Li Ke gave birth to the eldest son, which Wu Meiniang never wanted to see.

Although Wu Meiniang is Li Ke's official concubine, and only his heir is the eldest son of Chu Palace and Li Ke's eldest son, but if there is an emergency, it will still be troublesome.

Wu Meiniang then instructed Jin'er: "Jin'er, after you go back to the mansion, go to Helan Mansion first, sister will follow her husband back to Wuchuan Helan Family Ancestral Temple in a few days, and will definitely pass by Taiyuan. Sister, just take it with me."

Wuchuan County belongs to Daizhou, Daizhou is in the northeast of Bingzhou, and Chang'an is in the southwest of Bingzhou. From Chang'an to Daizhou, you must pass through Bingzhou. It is not troublesome to ask Wushun to take it to Li Ke.

"No." Jin'er replied again.

After Wu Meiniang explained Dan'er's words, she slowly opened the curtain of the car and looked out of the car. In Wu Meiniang's eyes, the yellow cypress trees on both sides of the alley outside the car had already withered away, but she thought of her husband in the Northland again. Can't help but worry about it.

Although Li Ke is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he should be safe and sound, but the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and no one can be sure. Li Ke is going to battle, and Wu Meiniang is naturally worried.

However, at this moment, on the south side of Tianjie, a light rider came on a fast horse, and while driving the road, he was still shouting loudly: "His Royal Highness King Chu has won a great victory in the Northern Expedition, and the victory is coming to Beijing!"
