The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 226
The Empress Dowager listened to Nan'an Taifei's explanation, although she knew that there might be some untruths in it, she still chose to comfort her, "The Ai family already knows the reason, so you can go back with peace of mind. The boy from the Mu family entered the palace and severely punished him." Worried that he would not let him go, she simply ordered to the maid beside her, "Pass down the decree of mourning the family, and tell the prince of Dongping to enter the palace immediately!"

Seeing this scene, Concubine Nan'an finally resigned and left with satisfaction.As soon as she left, the Empress Dowager said to Madam Liu who was serving beside her, "This Concubine Nan'an is becoming more and more disgraceful. If it wasn't for the fear that his family would support themselves in the south, the Ai family would not easily forgive her. her."

Nanny Liu echoed, "Isn't that right, when the old slave went out to visit my nephew, I heard him say a lot of illegal things about Nan'an Palace, especially the son of Nan'an Wang, he is simply a flamboyant old man." According to this old slave, he must have done some evil thing this time, but he let the Prince of Dongping bump into him, and that's why this accident happened."

"You're right. Shuang'er has been smart and sensible since she was a child, so how bad will the son I teach be!"

"Then the empress also called the prince of Dongping into the palace?"

"Isn't the Ai family doing it for Nan'an Palace to see? Besides, next month is the girl Shuang'er's birthday. As a mother, I want to give her some good things, so I'll let Xu Xiaozi send someone to Liaodong." While talking, I didn't wait for Mu Xu to come, but waited for Empress Dowager Chen, and the Empress Dowager couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you here at this time?"

Empress Dowager Chen replied with a wry smile, "It's not that Concubine Nan'an relied on the old to sell the old, so she went to my place and asked me to give her justice. I'm so entangled that I can't do anything, so I can only go to the Queen Mother to hide."

"Well, it's because you don't trust me, so I just went out and went to your place again!"

"What did my nephew do, and why did she get so angry?" The Empress Dowager was about to go back to her when she saw Yi Gong'e leading Mu Xu in, and immediately said, "The lord is here, ask yourself That's right."

Before Mu Xu could salute, Empress Dowager Chen asked curiously, "Xu'er, I heard that you beat the prince of Nan'an?"

As soon as someone came to the palace, Mu Xu had guesses in his heart, so he was not surprised at all when he heard the queen mother ask. He first greeted the two elders respectfully, and then explained the matter impartially up.

Hearing that he had stuffed Prince Nan'an into the slop truck, the Empress Dowager and the others couldn't help but smile, and the Empress Dowager Chen even scolded, "You bastard, I always say you have a steady temper, I didn't expect you to be like this!" Narrow! You just hit him, so why humiliate him on purpose."

"Grandmother, aunt, you don't know anything. I just wanted to persuade Huo Kun at first. If he was willing to retreat, I didn't intend to care about him beating the housekeeper of the Lin family. But who would think that guy I don’t know what’s good or bad, not only uttering obscene words, but also trying to make my subordinates rough, so I gave him a good look.”

Hearing Mu Xu's cry, the Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "No matter what the reasons are, how can you, a majestic prince of the county, do it yourself and choose to beat people in the street? It's too disrespectful."

"Queen mother, please calm down. Xu'er was just impulsive, and the prince of Nan'an is really too shameless. It's good to teach him a lesson, so that he can save him from doing evil in the capital all day long." Empress Dowager Chen quickly talked about her love for her nephew. .

"I don't blame him for beating the Huo family's son. After all, he is famous as a teacher. I blame him for not putting himself in danger. As the saying goes, a son of a daughter can't sit still, and even an old horse stumbles." time, let alone human beings?"

Faced with the Empress Dowager's earnest teaching, Mu Xu was naturally grateful, and sincerely admitted her mistake to her, and promised that she would not do it again in the future, and then she showed a look of relief, "Okay, it's good that you know that you are wrong, I asked you to enter the palace today because of your mother's birthday. I prepared some gifts for her, remember to send someone to Liaodong after you leave the palace."

"Oh, I forgot if the queen mother didn't tell me, isn't the imperial sister's birthday the [-]st of next month, I will also have a congratulatory gift for her later on, and I will send someone out of the palace tomorrow, and I will send Xu'er there as well. "

Mu Xu hurriedly thanked the two on behalf of his mother, and wentssip with them for a while, before leaving the palace with a bunch of presents.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a month later, the wedding date of Jia Baoyu and Xia Jingui was approaching, and Daiyu couldn't help feeling embarrassed when she received the invitation from Rongguo Mansion.Let's go, because of the previous incident, she was afraid that Mu Xu would be angry.Let's not go now, she has been educated by the Rongguo Mansion, and outsiders may say that she is ungrateful.After thinking about it for a long time, she really couldn't make up her mind, so she thought of asking Baochai to come up with an idea.

After arriving at Qingzhiyuan, Daiyu confided to Baochai about her troubles, but Baochai said, "What's so embarrassing? You tell him about it and let him go with you." .Anyway, when Baoyu is going to worship and get married, how can I have time to bother you!"

"Aren't I afraid that he might misunderstand you? It's not that you don't know, what happened last time made him very angry." Daiyu said worriedly.

"Just go ahead and say it, it's been so long, I guess he has forgotten it long ago." Baochai was very sure on the face, but said in his heart, he was eager to see Baoyu's jokes, there was no reason why he didn't want to go.

After listening to Baochai's advice, Daiyu spoke to Mu Xu suspiciously. Who would have thought that he would as expected, as Baochai said, and he agreed with all his heart, and said in his mouth, "I think it's a big deal. When I get there I will personally send you to Rongguo Mansion on a daily basis."

"You... are you really not angry?" Seeing that Mu Xu agreed so happily, Daiyu suddenly became suspicious.

"It's bad, I promised a little too easily." Mu Xu murmured in his heart that it was not good, and quickly found an excuse to perfunctory, "I was really angry at first, but after thinking about it later, Jia Baoyu was like a child who didn't grow up. The older child, I don't have to argue with him. Besides, I always have to think about you, you are the niece of the Jia family, if you are not present, I don't know what ugly words those idlers will make up!"

After hearing this explanation, Daiyu was so moved that it made Mu Xu feel ashamed, and quickly hugged his beautiful wife in his arms to comfort her, and finally made her laugh out of tears.

Although she got Mu Xu's consent, on the day of Jia Baoyu's wedding, Daiyu did not choose to go to Rongguo Mansion early in the morning, but waited until after noon, guessing that Jia Baoyu should set off to greet the bride, and then escorted by Mu Xu Then he rushed to Rongguo Mansion.

In the eyes of everyone in the Rong Mansion, after the unhappiness of the previous time, the Dongping Palace should not send people to Baoyu's marriage this time. Sure enough, it was already past noon, and everyone who was close to the Jia family had already arrived. Dongping Palace didn't even have a gift giver come to the door.

Although she had already guessed that this would be the result, Mother Jia still felt quite unhappy, especially for her niece and daughter-in-law. Why didn't Princess Dongping come here today?"

Yes, Mrs. Shi Ding deliberately made Mu Jia look bad, because she had heard about the last time from Shi Xiangyun, so she brought it up in front of Mu Mu this time, just to expose the scars of this aunt.Who made Jia's mother always take advantage of Shi Xiangyun's affairs to beat the couple when she had nothing to do.If she seized the opportunity this time, she would not have to vent her anger.

Since Mrs. Shi Ding spoke in a loud voice, she immediately attracted the eyes of relatives around her.Jia's mother suddenly felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and she couldn't hold on to her old face. She thought of several excuses in her mind, but they all felt that they were not suitable. She didn't know what to do, when she suddenly heard Wang Xifeng's voice outside, "Old lady , Sister Lin is here!"

"Ah!" Wang Xifeng's voice was a sound of nature and a turning point to Jiamu.She was startled at first, then overjoyed, until she realized that she had lost her composure, she deliberately cleared her throat, and pretended to be calm, "This Feng girl is really, always so surprised!"
