God-given peasant wife's good fortune

Chapter 795 The Great Oolong

[-]

It was not the first time for Ouyang Rui to come to Pine Age Hall, and he didn't need a maid to lead the way when he entered the courtyard, he walked towards the dining room with ease.

Before entering the dining room, Ouyang Bo heard cheerful laughter coming from inside.

Ouyang Bo paused slightly, seeing that his father seemed to be walking in without any surprise, so he picked up his steps and followed in again.

A few days ago the emperor had dinner in the mansion, Yao and the others were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't panic as before, they were just busy asking Yi Cui and the others to add more dishes.

Seeing that the Xiang family not only sat with men and women, but also sat with the king of a country, no one showed any signs of panic, Ouyang Bo felt very strange.

Especially seeing the Xiang family happily eating breakfast, and even his own father and emperor talking and laughing with the Xiang family at the dinner table, Ouyang Bo suddenly lost his voice.

After Yi Cui added the dishes, Ouyang Bo noticed the breakfast on the Xiang family's dining table, and now he really had to re-examine the Xiang family.

On the table, apart from a large pot of stir-fried green vegetables, a pot of boiled whole corn and a pot of boiled sweet potatoes that I heard folks eat as chickens, and a bowl of red dates and millet porridge in front of everyone, there should be Is it chicken shreds or pork shreds, nothing else.

Ouyang Bo didn't expect the breakfast to be so simple in a stately mansion.

It stands to reason that Xiang Chenhong's salary is not low, and the Su family has already become the richest man in Jin State in Quan'an, so why is the life of the Xiang family so poor?
Ouyang Bo couldn't understand it, but his father's next sentence made Ouyang Bo suddenly.

"Bo'er, don't worry about the light and rough breakfast in Duke Hu's Mansion, but it's very healthy." Ouyang Rui explained while reaching out to grab a piece of corn, and just gnawed it.

"Well, it's better to eat like this!" Ouyang Rui took a bite of corn and nodded.

I really miss the days when I hunted with Zirun on the mountain, and then roasted the prey with my own hands, and rushed to eat those days.

Su Kefang rolled his eyes, this guy is really a scumbag, a good emperor is wrong, he came to grab coarse grains from them, the worst thing is that he played tricks in their restaurant without notifying them in advance, scaring them enough.

After all, Ouyang Bo was not Ouyang Rui, he hadn't gone through those things, he couldn't do the indecent behavior of grabbing food with his hands, he picked up the bowl and drank millet porridge.

Ouyang Bo originally thought that this breakfast would be difficult for him to swallow, but seeing his father gnawing corn while talking to the Xiang family about the hardships of the year, and the Xiang family also talking about the interesting stories of Fengguo Village, he unconsciously I drank two bowls of millet porridge.

Ouyang Bo felt incredible and at the same time seemed to like the atmosphere of Xiang's family's eating.

The emperor and the crown prince had a great meal at the Duke Huguo's mansion, but they didn't know that the palace had already fallen apart.

Last night, many officials in the court heard that the emperor and the crown prince had been assassinated in the "Grand Yue Restaurant" and stayed overnight in the Huguogong's mansion. They were in shock. Some officials even speculated that the Huguogong had kidnapped the emperor and the prince and was about to force the palace.

The empress dowager and empress also got the news, they were so frightened that they convened the ministers to discuss it overnight, and in the end Taifu Zhuang used his head as a guarantee and went to the Duke Huguo's mansion in person. Unfortunately, the gate of the Duke Huguo's mansion was closed tightly. inform.

"Teacher, didn't you promise that Xiang Chenhong would not hold the emperor and the prince hostage, so why don't you let the emperor and the prince out now?" In the middle of Ci Ning Kun, the emperor asked Zhuang Taifu sharply.

Although the Duke's Mansion is not impregnable, but the Emperor and the Crown Prince are in their hands, the Empress Dowager and Empress do not dare to rashly send troops to surround the Duke's Mansion.

It was also when Xiang Liang's unjust case caused the tragic death of the Xiang family, which caused too much anxiety for the queen mother. Even after so many years, the Xiang family has been rehabilitated, and the queen mother is still on guard against revenge from the Xiang family all the time, so when she heard the emperor and the prince The restaurant of Xiang's family was assassinated, and she moved into Duke Huguo's mansion again, so she had preconceived suspicions about Xiang Zirun.

"Queen Dowager, the emperor and the crown prince are not necessarily held hostage by the Lord Protector, so why not let them go?" Taifu Zhuang comforted him, "Queen Dowager, I still say the same thing, I believe in the loyalty of the Lord Protector. I will not betray the emperor."

"Teacher, it's been a whole night, and the gate of Duke Protector's Mansion is still closed. We can't wait any longer!" The queen mother held the armrest of the seat tightly, and made the next major decision: "Xuan Xiao will be riding a general." Wei Peng!"

The queen mother didn't know about the other generals, so she didn't dare to reuse them, but she knew that Wei Peng, the general of Xiaoqi, belonged to the emperor.

The empress also understood that the empress dowager was planning to force Xiang Chenhong to hand him over, and she was so nervous that her palms were sweating: "Empress dowager, the emperor and the prince are still in Xiang Chenhong's hands, what if they hurt the emperor and the prince?"

On the side, Zhuang Hanrong also looked anxious, but her anxiety was different from that of the Queen Mother and the Queen: "The Queen Mother, the Queen is right, I still haven't figured out whether the Duke Protector is planning to rebel, will it be counterproductive if we rashly use our troops?"

Wei Peng also went to Duke Huguo's mansion after hearing that the emperor was assassinated in the "Junyue Restaurant", but like Zhuang Liming, he didn't see anyone in the Xiang family. Suspected that Xiang Zirun was going to rebel.

"Queen Mother, this is absolutely impossible!" Wei Peng didn't expect the situation to develop to this point, and couldn't help feeling ridiculous.

"Empress Dowager, let me dare to say that if even Duke Hu is rebellious, there may not be many loyal ministers in the court!" Wei Peng said loudly.

After hearing Wei Peng's words, the queen mother was relieved and a little angry at the same time.

Why are these two talking for Xiang Chenhong?
Besides, the emperor and the crown prince were protected by several secret guards as soon as they were in the Huguo Duke's mansion, and quickly evacuated. Then they learned that the queen mother was arguing with several important ministers in the palace about whether to send troops to save people, so they couldn't laugh or cry, and hurried back to the palace.

Knowing that it was just a misunderstanding, the queen mother felt distressed and complained: "Your majesty, how could you and the prince leave the palace without permission? And how could there be an assassin in the restaurant of the Xiang family? This matter must be investigated!"

Although the emperor was only slightly injured this time, the person behind the scenes must not let him go!
Listening to the empress dowager reprimanding the emperor, the empress and several other concubines lowered their heads. Everyone could understand that the empress dowager was still suspecting that the assassin had something to do with Xiang Zirun, but no one dared to refute.

Zhuang Hanrong was very anxious, but she also knew that her weight was not enough, even if she defended the Duke Protector, it would be futile.

"Mother, of course we need to investigate the matter of the assassin, but last night it was I who forcibly stayed in the residence of Duke Huguo." If he knew that he would make such a big oolong if he insisted on going his own way, he would have gone back to the palace directly last night.
