happy event

Chapter 164
"Shut up, the empress will handle this matter herself, what are you talking about, why don't you get out!" Seeing the trembling hands of the princess holding the veil, the old mother was afraid that she would get angry, so she hurried away and hid The selfish Zhao Debao went down.

No, Concubine Liu glanced at her niece who was about to cry, but said, "Don't drive him away, although he is a bit of a mess on weekdays, but today's words are good. Send someone to find the prince, and I will ask him face to face. Do you still have my own mother in your eyes!"

Hearing this, Zhao Debao immediately took up the errand and rushed to another hospital to spread the word.When Murong Huaide returned from the palace, he deliberately detoured to a time-honored shop in the south of the city to buy two catties of sauced beef. It happened that Dong Rong woke up from a nap, and the young couple had a small pot of soft red bean and lotus seed porridge, and two plates of light side dishes for them to eat. All are satisfied.

When Zizhu brought up the chopped cold melon, she picked up a small rattan house along the way, in which a small hedgehog the size of a palm was imprisoned.

It turned out that the night before everyone went out, Guoguo didn't know where to go to play, so he didn't go to Kyoto with the car.Fuzi and the boys were afraid that his wife would be bored, so they went to the mountains outside Kyoto to catch another one today.

Dong Rong joyfully took a cold melon to tease this obviously shy little guy, and finally pulled her husband to ask the little guy's gender, it would be best to pair it with Guoguo at home.

Murong Huaide asked himself that even Wen Tao and martial arts can't confuse him, he didn't want to be baffled by this question today.In desperation, he said perfunctorily, "The Guoguo at home is male, this is only female."

"Why?" Dong Rong was just asking casually at first, but she became even more curious after hearing that he was so sure.

Murong Huaide explained solemnly, "This one is timid and docile, so it's naturally the mother's. And Guoguo treats you the closest, but every time he sees me approaching, he always erects his backstab."

Dong Rong heard this nonsense, and laughed so hard that she almost dropped the cold melon on her skirt, "What kind of weird talk are you talking about, so are the mosquitoes that bite men are female, and the mosquitoes that bite women are male?"

Zizhu and Yiba, who were waiting on the sidelines, couldn't help giggling when they heard what the masters said was interesting.Murong Huaide was left speechless by his beloved wife's rebuttal, just when he was about to pick up the hedgehog and torture him, Wen Niang came in and told Zhang Guanshi to see him.

Murong Huaide quickly took the opportunity to leave the house, but when he saw Zhao Debao standing outside the courtyard, he turned cold-faced, and directly ordered Steward Zhang to keep an eye on the door, and then rode back to the palace.

Concubine Liu was drinking tea while thinking about how to use today's events to benefit her niece, otherwise it would be difficult to miss this opportunity.

When Murong Huaide stepped through the door, he saw his mother and concubine's gloomy face, and when he thought of his beloved wife and unborn child, he felt extremely depressed.So he went straight to find a seat and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "It's so late, my concubine called me, but what's the matter?"

"Why, as a mother, I can't ask my son to talk if I have nothing important to do?" Princess Liu came back to her senses, and she was a little annoyed to hear her son speak so bluntly, and asked directly, "Since you are here , Just talk about it. Why do you ask someone to clean the courtyard while I'm not here? I said that unless I die, it is impossible for the palace to marry a peasant girl into the door, do you really want to see me headbutted to death?"

Murong Huaide frowned, suppressed his anger and said, "It is the emperor's oral order to hold a banquet to welcome Mrs. Dong into the mansion, and the auspicious day is also selected by the Qin Tianjian. If the mother and concubine do not allow it, you can go to the palace tomorrow to discuss with the emperor's uncle Chen." Affection."

"You...you unfilial son!" No matter how stupid Princess Liu was, she knew that the order was irresistible. She squeezed the teacup next to her hand tightly in hatred, and said angrily, "Qiu'er, are you really going to piss your mother off? I have been practicing for so many years. I've been thinking so hard just to take you back home, so you're just so filial to your mother when you come back?"

Saying this, Xu remembered the many years of hard and dangerous struggles, Princess Liu began to wipe away tears, "Qiu'er, mother is doing it for your own good, why don't you listen to mother's words? There is someone in the world who loves you more than mother." Yours, you are the dignified prince of Zhongshan, why don't you even want face because of a peasant girl?"

Seeing his mother's tears, Murong Huaide's heart was also sour, he sighed and tried to persuade his old mother one last time, "Mother, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I am over twenty, I am not a child anymore Although prosperity and wealth are good, I just like to live in peace and joy. Although Dong’s family background is humble, but I love her the most. I only want to join hands with her for the rest of my life. If my mother really loves her, don’t stop her. The child will be sure in the future Together with Mrs. Dong, I will be filial to my mother. My mother does not know that Mrs. Dong is kind-hearted and cooks good food. If we keep getting along, my mother will definitely..."

"Shut up!" Princess Liu heard that her son not only refused to listen to the persuasion, but kept praising the peasant girl, she couldn't pretend to be pitiful anymore.She puffed her teacup heavily, and said angrily, "You must marry Mrs. Dong, don't you?"

"Yes, mother and concubine, please help me."

"Well, if you want me to fulfill you, you have to do something to me first."

"What's the matter, mother concubine, please tell me."

"Your cousin has ruined her innocent reputation because she loves you wholeheartedly. Except you, she can't marry anyone else. One month after Mrs. Dong enters the mansion, I want you to hold a big banquet to marry your cousin as a side concubine. You have to treat her well... ..."

Murong Huaide heard his mother's calculations, and flatly refused, "No, I won't marry her. Mother should find a good family for my cousin to marry, and I can arrange the dowry."

"What?" Concubine Liu didn't expect her son to refuse so simply, and said angrily, "Your cousin's appearance and family background are more than enough to be the main concubine, but now she is wronged to be your side concubine. Why don't you agree? , do you really plan to marry only Mrs. Dong?"

"Exactly." Murong Huaide said sternly, "I have promised Mrs. Dong that I will only marry her in my life!"

Concubine Liu was so angry that she wanted to wake her son up with a stick, "Presumptuous! Are you really fascinated by her? Which mansion in this capital does not have three wives and four concubines, and the dignified Zhongshan Prince only has one wife, how can he go out and walk around in the future?"

"My mother and concubine have fought all their lives in the backyard of the palace, and the hardships and dangers are clear. My son only wants a place where he can eat as he pleases without worrying about being poisoned to death. He only wants my children to grow up smoothly and healthily, and he only wants a Old wife. Concubine mother, are you really unwilling to fulfill your son?"

Concubine Liu saw her son's eyes were red and his voice was choked up. Her heart ached and she almost blurted out to answer.But thinking of her niece, she persuaded her cruelly, "Qiu'er, your cousin is a good woman, she is definitely more suitable to be in charge of the palace than Mrs. Dong..."

Murong Huaide was completely relieved, and interrupted the concubine mother in a cold voice, "Concubine mother need not say anything, I will not marry my cousin. Three days later, Mrs. Dong enters the mansion, concubine mother is waiting to offer tea."

"How dare you!" Concubine Liu was so angry that she lost patience after being rejected by her son repeatedly, she said angrily, "If you bring her into the mansion, don't blame me for being merciless. bowl."

Murong Huaide was also angry, and responded with a sneer, "Mother and concubine don't worry, the son can still support his wife and children."

After that, he got up and left the hall.Concubine Liu was so angry that she threw the teacup at her hand and cursed loudly, "Get out! You unfilial son, don't let me see you again!"

The old nanny heard the quarrel between the mother and son clearly outside the door, and now she hastened to comfort her, "Your Majesty, please calm down, the Shizi was also deceived for a while, if you persuade him slowly, he will always have something to say." I understand the painstaking efforts of the empress."

"I gave birth to him in vain. I didn't even listen to my mother's words because of a vixen. Why doesn't he want to marry such a good child as Zhen'er?" Concubine Liu wiped her tears with her veil, and was very angry from time to time. caressing his chest.

The old mother poured a cup of warm tea, served the princess for a few sips, and finally persuaded in a soft voice, "Madam, this old servant dares to say that you have become a dead end for a while. Think about it, that vixen is in another courtyard." , it is difficult for us to see her. But if she enters our palace, hehe, is it not easy for you to punish her? Besides, Miss Zhen'er has met with the crown prince more times, the crown prince will naturally find out Miss Zhen'er is good. At that time, that vixen... there is something good or bad, even if Miss Zhen'er is a side concubine, she will be no different from the main concubine."

The more Princess Liu listened, the more reasonable she became. She squinted her eyes and pondered for a while, then complained, "Why didn't you say that earlier, Qiu'er was left in a rage, how can I turn things around?"

The old mother laughed dryly. Of course, she couldn't say that she just thought of it, so she hurriedly remedied, "The empress has always opposed it. If she agreed suddenly, the son of the world might be suspicious. Why don't the empress do nothing, and when the day comes, the mother will be safe." Drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea steadily, the son of the world will be happy in his heart, and he will naturally treat his mother more filially."

Concubine Liu nodded and replied, "That's the only way to do it. Tomorrow you will personally arrange for Xuemeixuan's staff. I will know exactly if a needle is dropped in the yard!"

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry."

The discussion between their master and servant was in full swing, so they didn't know that Liu Xiaozhen was also thinking about the same idea.She gave half of the several hundred taels of silver she brought from her natal family to Hongyu, and waited for Xuemeixuan's manpower to be hired, so she bought it to make eyeliner.

It's a pity that they don't know that no matter how hidden and careful these arrangements are, they can't avoid the ubiquitous eyes and ears.

Murong Huaide went back to the other courtyard and went directly to the study room. Just after writing two big characters, Bing Si hurried back, and then vividly reported the plans of Concubine Liu, aunt and nephew.

Murong Huaide tried his best to suppress the hostility in his heart, and said coldly, "Hmph, they really treat me as a show!"

Guanshi Zhang, who was waiting on the sidelines, was afraid that his wife and the young master would really be killed, so he suggested in a low voice, "My lord, why don't you send an order to transfer the Wuzi team into the palace to protect your wife?"

"No, when the time comes, bring more of your own people into the mansion, and none of the people from the palace will be used. The Xuemei Pavilion is close to the north gate of the palace, so it is convenient to buy and go in and out. After three or five days, just make a show, and then move back."

"That's great." Steward Zhang heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard that his master had made an arrangement, "This subordinate will pick and choose manpower in the past few days, and he will definitely keep Madam safe and sound."
