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

Chapter 284 Unexpected Disappearance
When Cheng Dashan fell ill, both Zhuhua and Yinhua went to take care of him.Mrs. Sun didn't like to bother them, saying that there were servants in the mansion and they didn't need to do it by themselves, but she always fed medicine to Cheng Dashan himself.Even when Cheng Dashan was seriously ill, he refused to drink the medicine obediently, and he wouldn't drink it if Mrs. Sun didn't feed him.He became more and more dependent on Mrs. Sun, and if Mrs. Sun was not in front of him for a moment, he would get angry with others.

When he was dying, he called the children who had arrived one by one to talk. What he told Changzi was nothing more than some family arrangements and asked him to be filial to Mrs. Sun; what he told Yinhua was to let her be wronged outside. Don't hold back, the family will support her.

He didn't talk much to Zhuhua, he just asked, "Are you satisfied with this marriage?"

"Satisfied, nothing could be better." Zhuhua replied with a sob.

"That's good." Cheng Dashan finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted her hand, and let her go out.

After that, it was Mrs. Sun who accompanied him inside and whispered to him. I don't know what the two of them said. After a while, Mrs. Sun asked the children to come in red-eyed and let Cheng Dashan see them for the last time.He looked at the children and grandchildren in the room, then at the Sun family, and finally passed away with a smile.

Jinhua didn't make it to Chang'an in time, she didn't expect Cheng Dashan to leave so suddenly, she communicated with Chang'an a few days ago, they also said that the illness is not serious, but that it will recover slowly when she gets old, and she will receive it again In a letter, he said that he did not know if he could survive the end of the year.

She had a bad feeling in her heart, so she immediately packed her things and rushed back to Chang'an with Yueyue.When he arrived at Zhongguohou's mansion, he saw a piece of green outside the mansion, so he knew he was late.Yue Yue helped Jin Hua, who was weeping after getting off the horse, into the house. Yin Hua and Zhu Hua hugged her and cried again when they saw Jin Hua arrive.

At the beginning, Zhuhua didn't really regard Cheng Dashan as her father. She had an instinctive aversion to "father". Like many fathers in this era, Cheng Dashan left the raising of children to his wife, especially raising his own daughter. .But Cheng Dashan has always been kind to her in some small places. He would secretly give her pocket money, persuade her to eat more, and silently facilitated the marriage that she thought she wanted wholeheartedly.

She was very angry at that time, he must have remembered, especially after she was imprisoned.During family gatherings, he would often take a careful look at Zhuhua, for fear that she would have a bad time in Prince Ping's Mansion, or that she would be angered by the royal family.Now he finally doesn't have to worry anymore, and his children don't need him to worry anymore.

After Cheng Dashan passed away, Ding You also suffered from intestines. He would help Ling go back to his hometown and stay there for three years, and Sun would naturally go back with him.After hearing this, Zhuhua also planned to go back with them, but was stopped by Mrs. Sun.

"You are the daughter-in-law of the royal family, what's going on with us?"

"Didn't Eldest Sister follow along?"

"What's the matter with your elder sister? She can't go back to Liangzhou in Tianhan right now, so she went to live with us in her hometown for a while. Besides, with your elder sister and her intestines, why don't you worry about it. Both Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are pregnant. As for the children, you, a mother, leave them alone."

A few days ago, Yuanyuan was found to be pregnant, but Zhuhua really couldn't ignore her.After thinking about it, she had no choice but to listen to Mrs. Sun's words, but secretly told Jin Hua to ask her to send a letter immediately if she had anything to do, and Jin Hua naturally agreed.

After seeing off Changzi and others who helped Ling to return home, Zhuhua fell ill after returning to the palace, and couldn't even take care of Meng's confinement.While she was busy with Cheng Dashan's funeral, Meng Shi gave birth to a son. Her mother knew that Princess Ping and Princess Wanning, who lived close by, didn't care about Meng Shi, and Princess Beichuan next to her never cared about Meng Shi. When she came and went, she came to take care of her daughter in person, and stayed at the mansion for a while, and did not leave until the child was full moon.

At first, Meng thought it was because her mother was worried that she had no elders to take care of her. Later, when she saw her looking worried while taking care of the child, she felt a little bad feeling in her heart.

"Mother, is something wrong with your husband?" One day, Meng asked suddenly after the child fell asleep.

Mrs. Meng was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said: "It's nothing, don't listen to other people's nonsense, the son-in-law will soon return home."

"In August, my husband sent a letter saying that the Yue thieves had been driven out of the border. It was just that the court and China had not yet reached a conclusion on how to deal with Xiyue, so my husband has been stationed outside. After August, my husband never sent a letter to Beijing. , As for the North Korea-China relationship with West Vietnam..."

The Holy Majesty intends to withdraw troops from the border of Xishan Mountain, but King Beichuan disagrees, and the two sides have been arguing for a long time in the court.At present, the border situation is calming down. Some generals who were sent for reinforcements at the beginning of the year moved back to the court first. Among these people, there should be the king of Nanyang County. Although the people around her were hiding it from her, she guessed it from their expressions. What happened.

Mrs. Meng knew that her daughter was always smart, but she still said: "You can raise the child with peace of mind, maybe your son-in-law will come back in a few days."

Meng Shi was noncommittal, looking down at her sleeping son with red eyes.

Yuan Tai did move back to the court with the army. On the way, he heard the news of Zhong Guohou's death, so he led a team of people day and night to go to Zhong Guohou's Lingqian to offer incense to him.When he was a child, he often followed Zhuhua to the Hou's mansion, and the Zhongguohou even hugged him.It's just that a group of people encountered an ambush shortly after leaving the brigade, and Yuan Tai also lost track.

When King Ping received the news, he told the emperor about it and sent someone to investigate.He didn't dare to tell Zhuhua, fearing that Zhuhua, who was already grieving over the loss of her father at that time, would be saddened by Yuantai's matter again.After Zhong Guohou's funeral was over and Zhuhua fell ill again, it was even more difficult for him to speak.

After Cheng Dashan became seriously ill, the family who had been in the capital also heard about it from King Ping. They wanted to take someone to find out Yuantai's whereabouts in person, but King Ping didn't let him go, but entrusted him to go with Jinhua. Qin Dalang returned to his hometown, Qin Dalang had a close relationship with Yuan Tai, and agreed to the matter as soon as King Ping said it.

Zhuhua, who was seriously ill, didn't know about this. She hadn't been sick for such a long time since she became an adult. Although she didn't go to a bedridden place, she had been recuperating in the house from the twelfth lunar month to the beginning of spring. It didn't go well either.During the days when she was sick, Prince Ping also asked for leave to stay with her at home, and took care of all the chores at home. He didn't allow her to do much except read the script.

But when the first month was about to come out, Qiu Chu saw that she looked fine, so he jokingly told her about the rumors outside.Because she had been ill for a long time, some people in the city of Chang'an said that her life was not long. Some people believed her and made good wishes to King Ping, saying that the girl in the family would recommend a pillow mat, and some would serve soup and medicine in front of Princess Ping.Zhuhua laughed angrily when she heard this, because she thought she had a long life.

"What did your lord say?"

Qiuchu was waiting for Zhuhua to ask this question, and immediately said with reverence: "My lord, let's send them all away immediately."

"Boomed away? Isn't that good?" Zhu Hua pouted and said, tapping the beat with her fingers on the bed.

"The concubine is soft-hearted. According to the servant girl, people should go to these people's houses to beat gongs and drums to publicize their behavior, and let their young ladies who are willing to recommend pillow seats become famous."

"If you came up with some bad idea, just drive it away. If something like this happens in the future, you have to tell me immediately, I'm really bored staying in the house all day." Zhuhua sighed.

"Yes, even if the concubine doesn't give orders, the servants are still paying attention to the outside affairs."

"As long as you are smart, go get some money and drink."

"Yes, thank you Princess for the reward."

When Chuqiu went down to receive the reward, Zhuhua was still thinking about it, but she didn't mention a word in front of King Ping, but her illness that was half healed was cured within a few days.After recovering from her illness, she first went to An Guohou's Mansion to visit Tuantuan who was about to give birth.Tuantuan didn't know about Yuantai's disappearance, so when he saw his mother coming, he chatted about some unimportant things.

Anguohou's mansion was in mourning, and it was supposed to close its doors to thank guests, but Zhuhua was also in mourning, so she didn't pay too much attention.After seeing the eldest daughter, she went to see the second daughter. Yuanyuan's month is still young, and when she heard that Zhuhua was coming, she took the initiative to walk out of the yard to greet her.

"What are you doing out here? It's windy outside, why don't you stay indoors."

"Sitting around all day is really boring, so I just went out for a walk."

As soon as she said this, Zhu Hua glanced at her, "Have you changed your temper? Didn't you like staying indoors the most before?"

"Well, since I was pregnant with this child, I have somehow become very energetic, and I want to get up and walk around. I think I must be carrying a boy baby."

"Hello boy, all the boys in our family are more cute and sweet-talking than the girls."

"That's not it." Yuanyuan said, she looked at her daughter who was about to tear up her account book, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it off.

When Mi Ya saw that the toy was gone, she burst into tears.

"You're still crying. If you really tear up the ledger, I'll be the one who should be crying." Yuanyuan said, ignoring how badly her daughter was crying, and turned to talk to Zhuhua for a while, waiting for her daughter to cry. When Xiao Yao looked at them curiously, Yuan Yuan turned around and scolded her a few words, and then made her cry again.

"Compared in this way, you were really much better when you were young." Zhuhua said with emotion.

"That's right, I'd rather have a lazy child than a noisy one. The quarrel makes people uncomfortable, and my husband depends on her for everything, so I can only do the job of discipline." Yuanyuan sighed, and gave birth After the child, she was not as lazy as before, and she also realized that being a mother is not easy.

Glancing at Zhuhua, Yuanyuan couldn't help but said, "Mother, your luck is really good."

"You child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhuhua stroked her temples and said.

"The main reason is that the children are well-behaved, and they are all obedient to you. Unlike Qingqing, they seem to be here to collect debts."

"I can't bear it now? When she is older and you are annoying."

Yuanyuan felt helpless, stretched out her hand to touch her slightly protruding belly, and said, "I hope this child can behave better."

"You read more books now, or this kid can really have a calm temper."

"I don't look like it. This is probably more noisy than Qingqing." When she thought of this, she worried, why couldn't her child just be obsessed with being lazy and making money like her?
The two talked for a while, and Zhuhua went back. On the way home, she turned to a restaurant and bought the most famous roasted pigeon in the building. King Ping likes to eat this dish, and occasionally would come to the restaurant with Zhuhua taste.After the two of them got married, they sometimes ate in restaurants outside, and sometimes they went to patronize some small stalls.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhuhua became pregnant shortly after the two got married, so it was rare for the two of them to go out alone.In the days after the engagement, the two would not often date on the street, not as many times as they have come out together in recent years.King Ping also accompanied Zhuhua to the bookstore to pick out those scripts, to the cloth shop to pick out the price-cut fabrics, and to the jewelry store to see if there was anything new.

She really liked the days when the two of them lived peacefully, and she didn't have to put on airs to avoid him like before.After a while, when the family gets married, she might have to stay at home to take care of her grandson.

When he came home at night, King Ping saw the dishes added on the table, and he held Zhuhua's hand and looked at her with emotion.

"The meat isn't mushy, eat it quickly, it's going to be cold." Zhuhua urged.

After hearing this, King Ping reluctantly let go of his hand, and picked up another chopstick dish for Zhuhua before he started eating.Zhuhua laughed secretly, and ate half a bowl more for dinner.

She still doesn't know about Yuan Tai at the moment, thinking that she is in mourning, and it's not convenient for her to visit Meng's newborn child, so she doesn't know that Meng's is getting thinner because of Yuan Tai's matter.By the time she knew it, it was already March.

That day, she was about to go to bed with King Ping, when she heard Xiao Lin knock on the door three times, saying that there was a guest, King Ping quickly sat up, put on a coat and left the room.Zhuhua thought it was wrong, even though she didn't want to investigate too much, she changed her clothes and followed out.When she got outside the hospital, she saw Qin Dalang with injuries on his body.

"Lele? What's the matter, aren't you in your hometown with your mother?"

"Come out to play, something happened." Qin Dalang laughed and laughed.

Zhuhua glanced at him suspiciously, then walked towards the courtyard where Yuantai lived before, and when she got to the study in the courtyard, she found that the room seemed to be in a mess.Just as she was about to step forward, Yuan Tai walked out of the room.

"Auntie, I ran into something outside and asked Da Lang for help."

Through the candlelight behind him, Zhuhua saw that he was also injured, but because of the dim candlelight, she didn't notice his blue face, thinking that his injury was not serious, Zhuhua didn't ask any more questions.

"It's good to come back, go to the medicine first."

"Yes."

Qin Dalang saw that Zhuhua had been deceived, so he hurried into the study.Zhuhua thought for a while, then asked Qiuchu to help her, and went back to the room to wait quietly. In the middle of the night, Qiuchu saw that the candles in the inner room were still on, so he went in and took a careful look at her.

"Forget it, you don't need to say anything." Zhuhua said quietly, and looked towards Qiuchu, knowing that Qiuchu must have been ordered by King Ping, so she would only say some light words to comfort her.

"Princess, don't worry, none of the vitals are hurt." Qiu Chu said with flickering eyes, those wounds that hurt the vitals are almost healed, and she is not lying.Afraid that Zhuhua would think about this matter again, Qiuchu immediately brought up another topic, "Wangfei, I heard that when the county king came back, he brought a girl with him."

"girl?"

"Fifteen or sixteen years old, very juicy."

"Go to Haosheng to make arrangements." Zhuhua ordered, and after Qiu Chu left, she also heaved a long sigh. She might not be able to help with external affairs, so she could only pay attention to these trivial matters.

Not long after Qiuchu left, King Ping came in. Seeing that Zhuhua was still awake, he went up and told honestly about Yuantai's disappearance when he was attacked on the way back to Beijing. Mentioned the girl Yuan Tai brought home.

"It's a farmer's daughter named Liu Shanhua. Her elder brother saved Yuan Tai. Now that her family members are dead, Yuan Tai brought her here. See if there is a suitable family to marry her to. Bar."

"I see."

Yuan Tai rested in the middle of the night, and the next day he went to the palace to meet the saint, then went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and finally returned to the county prince's mansion.Mrs. Meng already knew the news of his safe return in the morning, so she pulled herself together and arranged things for him to return home.Yuan Tai returned to his long-lost home and saw his wife and son less than half a year old waiting for him at the door, his heart was burning.At least he survived and had his own son, so he won't be able to do anything casually in the future.

When Meng Shi saw the large and small wounds on his body at night, she cried again and asked Yuan Tai to say a lot of comforting words before coaxing him to heal.He knew that Meng Shi hadn't felt at ease these days, and he felt sorry for her suffering.He briefly stated what happened, but did not mention Liu Shanhua, only that he was rescued by a farmer.Meng Shi is not the type who likes to get to the bottom of things. Seeing that he is safe, she is relieved, and she doesn't have the mood to ask too many questions.

Zhuhua, on the other hand, cared about Liu Shanhua and told the people who went to serve her to pay more attention to her behavior.A few days later, the little girl who was sent to wait on her came back and said that the girl had shallow eyesight, and she always wanted to touch the decorations in the room, and now they didn't need to dust the few expensive ornaments in the guest room.Liu Shanhua also inquired about Yuan Tai's identity from the little girl, thinking that she was the young master of the mansion, she asked him whether he was married openly or secretly.The little girl replied that she was married, but she didn't let Liu Shanhua give up after seeing this answer.

Zhuhua heard that she knew what she wanted, so she asked Qiuyun to quickly find a good family for the girl, so that the girl would not be fascinated by wealth and be attached to Yuan Tai.When there was news from Qiuyun, she asked someone to invite Liu Shanhua over to meet her.
