Mu Huagui

Chapter 17
Zhang's mother said, "I have made booklets for going in and out of the warehouse, and I can tell by looking through them that Young Master Wang is also living in the palace, just call him to ask."

Mrs. Chen's eyelids twitched, and before she could speak, the princess said to the outside world, "Go alone and let Butler Feng invite Young Master Wang to speak."

After a while, someone reported from outside the floor, "Steward Feng said, Young Master Wang went to the study of the prince, and brought him to the concubine in a while."

"Oh, no need, it's the same as calling the maid in his room." This time it was Zhang's mother who spoke.

"Wait, I don't know who this Young Master Wang is. Wouldn't it be rude to see him?" Mrs. Chen's anger had reached its peak.

"Returning to Mrs. Chen, Young Master Wang is the son of Lord Wang, a former official of the prince. Lord Wang died young, and Young Master Wang was raised by his widowed mother. He was entrusted by someone to send him to study in Beijing. The prince saw that he was a good-looking man, so he was very excited. Let him live in the mansion because of his love for talent." Zhang's mother hooked her lips, feeling extremely disdainful in her heart.

Thinking that this would make us give up, Mrs. Chen clenched her fists tightly. She didn't care whether the young master Wang was young or not.

"By the way, Mrs. Chen, I forgot to tell you something. On the day you came to sit as guests, we went to the palace to meet the emperor, and the emperor left us dinner before returning. If you still want to see Master Wang, you can Wait, otherwise..." After speaking, he picked up the teacup.

What, Madam Chen slumped down and sat down, the prince was not in the mansion that day.At this moment, she realized that she was wrong, and it was so outrageous.

His face was pale, and he forced himself to say goodbye to Mrs. Chen, who was like a lost soul, and went back to Chen's mansion in a hurry.The face of the elder who followed closely behind was not much better.

Aunt Yu hugged her daughter and burst into tears. If something like this happened, there was only one way to carry her into the palace to wait for her daughter.Thinking of this, how could Aunt Yu not be sad.

"How could it be like this, how could it be... I don't believe it, I don't believe it, she is not such a mother..." Chen Qihong almost fainted when she heard the news, she finally showed her face in front of the old lady so that she could take her to the palace as a guest.

It was so hard to meet the eldest son, how could this be, this is impossible... She thought she could escape the marriage her father arranged for her, and thought that she could control her own destiny, but the result...

"Master, it's better to inquire about the family background of Young Master Wang, if you can be a regular wife..."

Before Aunt Yu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the Elder, "Don't even think about it, it's just a poor person who has neither money nor fame, and lives with a little incense in the palace. Qihong must not marry this kind of poor girl." people."

Aunt Yu turned her head and glanced at her daughter, seeing that her daughter didn't have any intention of moving her heart, so she had to press down and stop thinking.

That night, the old man stayed at Aunt Yu's place, and in the middle of the night, Chen Qihong was carried to the nunnery on the village of Chen's mansion, and went to pray for the old lady wholeheartedly.

The matter of Chen Qihong was like a small episode, which only attracted people's attention for a few days and then disappeared.It only made Chen Jiao'er feel a little bit disappointed. She thought that Chen Qihong could dance for a few more days and let her muddy the water, but she didn't expect the result to be so easy.

The days slowly slide into February, winter turns to spring, and green shoots sprout from the bare branches. The girls finally take off their heavy winter clothes and show their slender figures.

For the first time, the eldest lady told the old lady that she would take the whole family to Wuhua Temple to burn incense and fulfill her vows.The incident of Qihong happened during the year, the old lady probably also felt unhappy.It was agreed on the spot, so the wives and ladies at home started a new busy life.

"It's just for one day, don't take these with you." Chen Jiao'er stopped Cherry, "We are not used to napping here, so why bother to carry these useless and cumbersome things."

"But the others..."

"It's so easy to go out, so it's good to let Mama Su come to talk with us." Chen Jiaoer asked Cherry to bring the letter, it's rare to go out, it's a pity not to see Mama Su.

Cherry was so happy that she forgot to clean up, took the miss's letter and ran out.

Outside the Buddhist hall of the Prince's Mansion in Dongjun, Zhu Sheng stood guard at the gate, and said to Steward Feng, "I'm really sorry, you also know the temper of the son, and he doesn't like to be disturbed when he worships the Buddha. I dare not go in now."

Steward Feng said with a stern face, "Be careful and wait on him. When the son comes out, he will say that the prince has something to look for."

"You said that Guanshi Feng has such a long face. When he stands up, he is more majestic than those masters outside. When will I have this demeanor, tsk tsk."

The little girl who delivered the food laughed, because she was at the entrance of the Buddhist hall, she didn't dare to linger any longer, so she put down the water cup and pastries on the tray, turned around and left.

Zhu Sheng took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, his heart suddenly felt sore, the pastry choked in his throat, and he hurriedly poured the tea before flushing it down.As soon as the Shizi went out, he saw Zhu Sheng's distressed appearance, smiled and shook his head, "No one will snatch you..."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and picked up a plum-shaped pastry, put it in his mouth and took a bite. Before he swallowed it, he threw the remaining half of the pastry back to the plate.

Since that girl was gone, Shizi hasn't eaten cakes for a long time, and also changed his habit of eating supper.Zhusheng's eyes turned red, he wiped the corners of his eyes and followed.

On the way to the study, Zhou Mingyuan felt a little depressed when he thought about the answer of the hidden guard in the Buddhist hall just now.I thought that the little girl who appeared that day also came with her own intentions, but she didn't expect to keep silent.There were no rumors about his return home that day, it was really just a chance meeting with him.That girl really has a mother who lives not far from the back alley and works as a helper in the sewing room of the palace.

Thinking of her openly saying that she also sneaked out, her appearance is frank and cute.

In the study, the prince stood in front of the window with a refined figure, looked into the distance and said, "You and the emperor have really decided."

"Yes." Zhou Mingyuan replied without hesitation, "The king of Xian County is becoming more and more powerful, and has become a powerful force in the court. We can't sit still and wait for death."

"Just relying on your hidden guards?" The prince chuckled.

"Father." Zhou Mingyuan dragged out the tune angrily. Even Zhusheng didn't know about it, how did his father know about it.

"You kid, you can't even hide it from your father." The prince turned his head and looked at his son with relief. The mischievous son had finally grown up.

No one knew about the conversation between the prince and the prince in the study, but since this time, there have been faint rumors that the prince has nothing to do all day long and still refuses to get married.The prince and princess were so angry that they sent him to Dali Temple where he had the most work to practice.

As soon as he took office, he was secretly instigated by the prince to go to Annan to collect evidence for a case.It has been more than a month since Zhou Mingyuan left the capital, and it was the day when the women of Chen's mansion went to Wuhua Temple.Both the second wife and the third wife were unable to make the trip due to business, but the fourth wife and fifth wife got up early in the morning.

Naturally, Chen Qiluo went with the eldest lady, while the fourth wife only brought the eldest daughter, Qilu, and left the youngest daughter at home.The fifth wife and Chen Jiao'er rode in the same carriage because they were both alone.
