Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 91
"Uh……"

The old man glared at him again, and said, "What does it look like to get off work and return home before the hour is up?"

Then, under Uncle Ning's speechless silence, he turned and entered the Imperial Master's Mansion.

The old lady came over and patted her son's hand with a smile, and said: "The two children came suddenly, and we didn't expect to inform you for a while, but they are in the capital now, and it is not easy to meet? Well, tired One day, hurry up and rest in the mansion, Xiao Jing and Tian Tian also left a gift for your uncle."

"Oh? Really? Then go and have a look."

On the other side, Duanmu Tian and his elder brother walked side by side, heading back to Duanmu Palace.When I returned to Duanmu Palace, it was evening again, and I went to my grandmother's house to say hello, but I saw that it was bustling there.

"Why didn't you two come back until now? The guests are waiting for you." The old concubine sat at the head, looked at the two brothers and sisters who came in, and said angrily.

Duan Mujing hurriedly bowed and said: "Returning to grandma, after I sent my father to the expedition early this morning, I was called to speak by the emperor, and then I went to the Emperor's Mansion with the emperor, and I was dragged by my grandfather and grandmother to talk until now." Letting us back and making distinguished guests wait for a long time is really rude."

The old concubine was startled, and said: "You two children, why don't you just visit the Emperor's Mansion just like that? I'm also planning to let you two bring gifts to visit tomorrow."

"Grandmother, don't worry, the emperor dragged us there, even if it's rude, it's the emperor's rudeness."

"You girl, don't talk nonsense! How can you be so disrespectful to the emperor?" The old concubine blamed again, but old lady, what happened to that incomparably bright smile on your face?

After a pause, the old concubine asked again: "Why does the emperor take you to the Emperor's Mansion? But what other orders do you have?"

"The emperor said that he wanted to invite grandpa to the palace to teach the princes. When he learned that we hadn't visited grandpa for two days after returning to Beijing, he asked us to go with him. There was no other order, but that my brother and I would start from tomorrow. , go to the palace every morning to attend classes with the princes."

Speaking of this, Duanmu Tian couldn't help turning dark, she really didn't want to go at all.

"The princess is going too?" Sitting on the other side of the old princess, the old princess of Mingrong, the aunt of the Duanmu Palace, finally couldn't help but speak out at this moment. The surprise in it was beyond words, and the envy and hatred in it were hidden deep in her heart. .

Duanmutian replied indifferently: "I didn't want to go, but my grandfather said that if I didn't go to listen to his lecture, he would not enter the palace. I didn't dare to disappoint the emperor, so I agreed."

"Yo, that's great. Our princess is different from other people. It's a great blessing to be able to enter the palace to listen to the lectures of the emperor and the ministers with the prince and the ministers."

Facing the praise of the old lady of Sanfang, Duanmu Tian remained expressionless, and said indifferently: "Grandpa also said the same thing, saying that I am so ugly, if I am still raised in a deep boudoir like other daughters of gold, I will not be as good as I am." Ri only knows that being with the girl who plays the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and coquettishly waiting for her age to marry a good man will not end well. It's better to be a boy and raise her, maybe she can There is another way to do it. Men, it’s okay to be ugly.”

"..."

The room was suddenly quiet, deathly silent, only Duan Mujing twitched the corners of his mouth, with a strange expression on his face.

These words were indeed said by Mr. Ning, but when he repeated them from his younger sister's mouth at this moment, he always had a weird feeling, and seemed a little... funny.

Suddenly there was a soft sound of "噗", Duanmu Tian followed the sound and saw a girl sitting next to the "old" lady of the fourth room was covering her mouth and laughing lightly, the fourth lady pulled her clothes and stared again. She rolled her eyes, she curled her lips, lowered her head to hide her smile, only her shoulders trembled slightly.

"Forgive me, princess. This girl has no rules. I will discipline her well later."

She raised her head, pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, and looked at Duanmutian stubbornly with the corners of her lips pursed.

What does it mean?Do you refuse to admit your mistake?Still unhappy that my mother is so humble to a person who is both a junior and a little girl?

Duanmu Tian withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "It's okay, my aunt's true temperament is much better than someone who is meek and obedient on the surface, flattering and flattering, but doesn't know what insidious methods are used behind the scenes."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people in the room were different, and they looked at the mother and daughter of Sifang with a bit of hostility.

The fourth lady's face was a little pale, Duanmuyan frowned, looked at Duanmutian with a bad expression and let out a soft snort.

Seeing that it was almost done, the old concubine said in a timely manner: "Okay, I have been talking a lot, neither of you brothers and sisters have visited your aunt yet. Your aunt married far away from Beijing, and it was very difficult for her to go back to her mother's house. Once, it was a blessing of the Empress Dowager's birthday, so I was able to go home to visit relatives, and then I will live in our house for a while, so you brothers and sisters must take good care of them."

Live in Duanmu Palace?

Duanmu Tian was slightly surprised, but then he was relieved.

Although it was stated that the Rongjun Prince's Mansion had a separate courtyard in the capital, the old princess was also the aunt of the Duanmu Prince's Mansion, and it was quite normal to take this opportunity to live in her natal family for a period of time.

The brothers and sisters bowed to the old concubine and said, "Greetings, aunt."

The old concubine smiled like the blooming chrysanthemum, and said repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy! Don't be too polite. We met yesterday, but today is the official first meeting, and my aunt can't take it." If something good comes out, these two pieces of jade seem pretty good to me, so let’s take it as a meeting gift.”

Saying that, a maid brought a pair of jades and presented them in front of them.

"Thank you, grandma."

Seeing that they had put away the jade pendants, the old concubine pointed to a beautiful woman sitting next to the old concubine, and said, "This is your second aunt. This time I will return to Beijing with your aunt to celebrate the birthday of the empress dowager." , and the second is to go home to visit relatives. This is the first time you two have met."

The woman hurriedly stood up, first bowed to the two of them and said: "Your Majesty and the princess are polite."

"Second aunt."

Although she is an aunt and the side concubine of Mingrong County King, she is much shorter than Duanmu Jing and Duanmu Tian in terms of her status in her natal family and in her husband's family, so naturally she has to salute first.

Another meeting gift was received, after which Rong Qinyuan also came out, and affectionately paid respects to the elder cousin, and by the way, the princess cousin, the brother and sister said hello to her, after which the old concubine finally showed mercy Said: "I think it's about the same time, it's time to start the banquet. It's a coincidence, but did you send someone over to invite the old ancestor?"

"I went to invite her, but the old ancestor said that she was used to cleanliness, and she couldn't eat the greasy food at the banquet, so she didn't come to have a meal together. He just asked my aunt to sit with her after the meal and talk to her a few words. That's it."
