Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 165 The Evil Servant
After Sun and other three, four and seven people, plus a group of servants brought by them arrived at Prince Ping's Mansion, the originally somewhat deserted backyard of Prince Ping's Mansion suddenly became lively.It was rare for them to come together, Zhuhua had already prepared delicious food.Yinhua was also rude, and when she entered her room, she put the child on the couch and let him play by himself, while she came over and looked Zhuhua up and down.

"Looking at your complexion, you should have the strength to get someone to bring something good, right?"

"Yes, how dare I neglect you."

While talking, Qiu Shi had already brought in all kinds of fruits.Mrs. Sun glanced at it, and there was no need for pregnant women to avoid it, but she still said something.

"The fruit is cold, you should eat less."

"I don't usually eat much, I just use it for stewing soup." To reassure Mrs. Sun, Zhuhua said hastily.

Mrs. Sun nodded, and wanted to ask her about her diet, but Yinhua stepped forward and interrupted Mrs. Sun, "Mother, don't you think that Azhu has taken care of pregnant women several times. She knows what she can eat and what she can't eat." .”

After speaking, Yinhua asked Zhuhua again: "Fruits are not the only delicious food in your house, right?"

"There's a lot. Goose is stewed on the stove. I deliberately told them not to cook it too carefully. There is also venison. The stove is already set up in the garden. Let's drink some sherbet and eat barbecue, and set up a table next to it." It’s not as formal as preparing a table of dishes for some other plain dishes.”

"It's so good, it's like being in Zhuangzi."

This year, both Yinhua and Jinhua have to take care of their children, and they didn't go to Zhuangzi. Mrs. Sun would go there occasionally, but they wouldn't stay for long.Huanhuanxi heard that there is barbecue and stopped going to the spider house, but clamored to eat it.Qiu Chu told the girl who took care of them that they had to be careful when they barbecued later, so as not to touch the coals or something.In addition to these meats, Zhuhua prepared a lot of vegetables and pickles to relieve the tiredness, and just like this, everyone ate, drank and chatted all day in front of the flower viewing building in the garden.

During the dinner, Zhuhua actually asked about the erroneous servant in Jinhua's mansion, but Jinhua didn't know much about it.It's just that one day Qin San suddenly said that someone in the mansion had stolen important items, and Jin Hua didn't hear any excuses even though the man was tied up firmly and gagged with noodles.Later, this person was sold far away by Qin San, and she didn't even know where he was sold, and Qin San handled this matter single-handedly.

"That person has always been inconspicuous, and I don't know what moved."

After Zhuhua heard this, she didn't ask any more questions.

Waiting until the sun was approaching westward, they each brought home a piece of barbecue after spending a brisk day in Prince Ping's Mansion.

After eating, Mrs. Sun drank a few cups, and when she left, she couldn't help but patted Zhuhua's hand and said, "It's good that you live so comfortably."

"Look at what mother said, it seems that none of us are uncomfortable."

"That's right." Yinhua agreed with a smile.

Mrs. Sun smiled, but said: "You are all more blessed than me. You gave birth to a son at the first birth. Azhu's belly looks like she is pregnant with a boy. Good boy, just forget it after giving birth." thing."

Zhuhua nodded, she also wanted to keep having children, lest the marriage contract with Xu Qingqing that she joked at the beginning would come true.She heard that Bohar was going to marry a tribal princess soon, even if Bohar would still prioritize Xu Qingqing out of political considerations in the future, she must feel very uncomfortable.Zhuhua doesn't want her daughter to be as righteous as Xu Qingqing, it's better to have a son, after all, the requirements for men in this era are lower than those for women.Even if her son wants to have three wives and four concubines in the future, she doesn't care, but she won't pay a penny for raising his wife and concubines.

As soon as they left, Queen Ping returned to the mansion, and Zhuhua felt that he came back by pinching him.

"It's a good thing you came back early, and the barbecue is still hot for you." Zhuhua laughed, then avoided the hand he stretched out, "My body smells like barbecue, and I have to change my clothes first. "

"No, it smells sweet." Prince Ping held her waist indifferently, "Is the child bothering you today?"

A few days ago, when King Tian Ping touched Zhuhua's belly, he said that the child kicked his hand, but Zhuhua didn't feel anything, so he thought that King Ping was crazy about wanting the child, and even imagined the fetal movement.It's hard for her to talk about him, anyway, the fetal movement should be coming, and her stomach is already six months old.

"No, he behaved very well today."

"He is one who can calm down while listening to the excitement."

"Just like you."

"Just like you."

"Me?" Zhuhua laughed at herself, and said, "I like to join in the fun, but Qiu Chu can help me find out about anything, so I don't need to come forward."

After speaking, she paused and glanced at him, "Did you hear anything new these days?"

"One thing, it just came out today, Pearl may not have heard of it."

"what?"

"Peng Concubine revealed to the emperor today about the fact that the eldest princess of Hengyang raised her face, and said that she would make peace with her."

When Zhuhua heard this, she paused, and when she wanted to ask again, a servant came in with a barbecue, so she watched him sit down.After the servant left, she went up and poured him a glass of wine, and after he drank a glass and ate a piece of meat, she asked him: "Why is it so good, Prince Peng wants to reconcile with the eldest princess?"

King Ping put down his chopsticks and said, "The two have been separated for many years. Originally, Concubine Peng thought that she was a princess, and she bore children for him and did not lay hands on his other children. She would not tear herself apart with the eldest princess." But since Jiang Sanniang married, the Princess Mansion and Concubine Mansion, which used to live in peace, began to confront each other again. A few days ago, Concubine Peng's most beloved son was almost murdered, and a grandson who was about to be born was also lost. According to the current situation Judging from the situation, these things were probably done by Aunt Hengyang."

"I don't think so." Zhuhua snorted coldly, smiled faintly at King Ping who was looking at her curiously, took a chopstick of meat and brought it to his mouth, "The roast is okay, I made the sauce on it. "

King Ping nodded vigorously with a smile, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Brother Liu came back from other places today, he likes these fresh flavors, if there are more, someone will send a copy to him."

"I've already had someone send it over," Zhuhua said.

"Zhu'er has a delicate mind, so I am talking too much."

Zhuhua snickered, tried to keep a straight face and said: "Eat your meat, why are you so talkative."

"Yes."

The two chatted some unimportant things again, and did not mention the matter of the Hengyang Changgong Mansion.When it was time to go to sleep, Zhuhua finally remembered her intention of asking King Ping in the first place. She seemed to be pregnant and her mind was not as fast as before. She was interrupted by the heavy news of King Ping just now. I forgot.

"I heard that there is a servant who stole the master's things in the eldest sister's house, do you know?"

King Ping smiled slightly, put his hand on her stomach lightly, and said, "I know. He stole the medicinal materials from the master's house and passed them off as good ones, so he was found out."

"He dares to change the medicinal materials?" Zhuhua exclaimed, thinking about who this person is.She knew many servants in the Qin mansion, but some of them were newly added after they moved to the current mansion. As for who was in charge of which part, she didn't know, let alone Jin Hua said that he was an inconspicuous person, Zhu Hua I don't think I've ever seen this guy.

"Don't worry, no one in the mansion dares to do such a thing, and I often stare at it."

Zhuhua nodded, found a comfortable position in his arms and quickly fell asleep.Prince Ping kissed her hair, and then hugged her and fell asleep slowly.

The next day, Zhuhua called Qiu Chu in after King Ping left the mansion, and wanted her to inquire about the Princess Hengyang's mansion again, but she always felt that it happened suddenly.

Qiu Chu didn't go out either, and said, "Princess, my servant asked someone about it yesterday."

Zhuhua was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I knew you were a good thing."

"That's not true. This servant is seeing that the princess is bored these days, so I deliberately inquired about some interesting things so that I can tell you."

"Okay, tell me, what's going on?"

"That's the way things are. People are saying that Princess Hengyang's face is too arrogant. She teased Peng Concubine face to face, and even tampered with the concubine's concubine's room, which made Peng Concubine ruthlessly seek the Holy Order. Some people also said that the eldest princess The princess's son may not belong to Prince Consort Peng!"

"So what's new about this matter now?"

"The Holy Majesty didn't say anything yesterday, but today there will be a decision. Some people outside said that the Holy Majesty will help his sister no matter what, but the servant girl looks at Princess Hengyang is not a decent person, and maybe the Holy Majesty doesn't like her too. Punish her for this."

"Where is Jiang Sanniang, how is she doing now?"

"She's fine, and I don't see her coming out these days. Some people around her go to the pharmacy, as if they are recuperating."

"What about Erniang Jiang?"

"She...she is pregnant now. I heard that Mr. Bai wants to take her as a concubine. I don't know if she will agree."

"Concubine? The daughter of a dignified Marquis Mansion is the concubine of someone who has no official position? I don't know what they are planning?" Zhuhua sneered, and asked again: "Wu Yinggong is not angry?"

"No, Mr. Bai hasn't completely moved out of the Duke's Mansion now, and occasionally he will go back to live, but none of the women around him has ever been brought back. Erniang Jiang seems to have sent gifts to Duke Wu's Mansion, but was After throwing it out, nothing happened afterwards, and the relationship between Mr. Bai and Mr. Wu Ying is as usual."

"Is there anything else new? Shen Shisanniang has always been quite peaceful, right?"

"Yes, King Qin often comes and goes to the Shen Mansion recently, and I heard that he is visiting Shen Shisanniang."

"The eighth prince?" Zhuhua remembered that King Ji had always had a low opinion of the eighth prince, King Qin, and the second prince, King Huo, so she didn't like King Qin, who hadn't met a few times before. up?

"What's new in other palaces?"

"No, I just heard from the people in the next door that King Ji had solved a major case during his trip this time, and the entire court might be shaken."

"You have even heard of this?" Zhuhua raised her eyes to look at her, this matter must be regarded as a court secret.

Qiu Chu curled her lips and said, "My concubine, this servant only found out about this because of her close relationship with Prince Ji's mansion. No one outside the mansion should know. Besides, His Royal Highness Ji Wang should have already asked the Holy Majesty I have reported this matter, but I don’t know if the person who told this matter to the servant exaggerated, His Royal Highness Ji Wang has been investigating the case for many years and finally found it wrong.”

Zhuhua smiled and said: "Let's see, I also want to know how the court is shaking."

When Yang Chengjian got the evidence presented by King Ji, he was somewhat uncertain.Ji Wang's investigation of the case will only muddy the water. In the end, he himself will be confused when he investigates the case, and then he will arrest the wrong person. I don't know if it is the same this time.However, this matter is very involved, and he still needs to send someone to investigate further.After exhorting King Ji a few words, he let him go back.King Ji bowed out of the imperial study room, and his face was not very happy. The cases he likes to investigate are not this kind. It's really bad luck to bring this up.

After leaving the palace, he happened to see Geng Jieqing when he was returning to the Ministry of Justice. He stared at the side for a while, and when there was no one else, he and Geng Jieqing went to a corner to talk.Although the two of them no longer communicated because of Geng Lanqing's previous affairs, they often ran into each other in the Ministry of Punishment. Besides, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment hadn't changed, so he couldn't avoid it no matter how much he did.Later, he also looked away, and he and Geng Jieqing would still chat in private, but they would not communicate with each other publicly.

"Did you lead me to investigate this case because you knew it was troublesome from the beginning?" Ji Wang stared at Geng Jieqing and said in a low voice.

Geng Jie smiled. He has participated in many cases, but now he is calm and low-key. He only shines when he sees suspenseful cases, which is the same as Ji Wang.

"Your Highness, even if I can, it's impossible to know who the criminal is at a glance."

"But you must know that the perpetrator has a serious background, and the things behind this are not small!"

Geng Jieqing was noncommittal, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has stayed in the Ministry of Punishment for these years, and now his eyes are as bright as a torch."

"Come on, don't worry about this, you people are not good people who can see through their guts to the end."

"Your Highness, don't say that. You see, you have always wanted to solve a big case, so this is it."

"I want to solve such a case!" Ji Wang gave him a blank look, and left without saying anything to him.

Geng Jie sent them off with a faint smile, but he felt that among these princes, only Prince Ji had the heart of a child, and the other princes were not so simple-minded.

The conversation between Geng Jieqing and Prince Ji would naturally be noticed by some people, but there was no movement after the court, even if it had anything to do with Prince Ping's mansion.Even if Princess Hengyang reconciled with her son-in-law and she was sent to a fief for rest, it didn't really matter to Zhuhua, but hearing that the climate in Princess Hengyang's fief was not good, Zhuhua couldn't help but chuckle secretly.

Zhuhua has never been too concerned about political affairs, even though she is now a princess, there are still some things that she doesn't understand.She couldn't guess even if she wanted to guess what might take months to show up.King Ping didn't seem to be keen on these things either, he had been spending more days in the mansion, Zhuhua guessed that it was winter, and the rare animals under his care had a lot of fate to hibernate.

With him at home, the two of them would stay in the study for a while, sometimes practicing calligraphy and painting together, and sometimes she was resting on the couch and he was reading by the side, and the days were very happy.
