Chapter 74
When she came out of the main hall, she saw the girls in the attic unloading.The full car shouldn't all be New Year's goods in the attic, right?
She walked over and heard Ning Xiang say: "Be careful, that's all for the attic, thank you uncle. Oh, Miss, are you back?"
She nodded and looked at the chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables and fruits on the ground, and there were paper-cut couplets beside it, she said with a smile: "I thought you were back a long time ago, take everything back quickly, and get some food Warm your body, everyone has worked hard."
Ning Xiang shook her head, "It's not hard."
All the things were moved to the attic, but she didn't sit on anything. Seeing that everyone was so tired that they couldn't straighten up, she ordered them to sit down, and poured water for them one by one.
"It looks like I haven't been exercising regularly. I'm so tired with this little New Year's goods. If I do other things in the future, wouldn't I be too tired? Get up early tomorrow, run around the yard, and then do other things. "she says.
"It's Miss."
"Haven't you had lunch yet?" she asked.
Ning Xiang shook her head, "Everyone is afraid of delaying time, so they want to finish everything early and come back for dinner. Miss, don't worry, our meals are simple, and we left a lot of steamed buns in the morning. We will heat them up later, and eat whatever we want Order to fill your stomach, and dinner will be ready soon."
Rong Jinyu nodded, looked left and right, then smiled helplessly.
"Miss, have you eaten?"
She nodded again, "Ningxiang, do you still have mooncloth at home?"
"Oh yes, today is the day when Miss comes to Sunflower Water. There are still many in the room. The little girl and I made a lot for Miss last month." She said holding the water glass.
She is not talking.Congealing Blood pulled her arm and said: "Miss, the house bought a lot of things today, and tomorrow the prince will come to propose marriage, and the cook will go to the street to pick fish by himself."
"That's right, the cook picks out the best things. I heard that the servants will entertain Mr. Yi tomorrow and there will be officials coming to congratulate him." The little girl laughed.
Rong Jinyu twitched her brows, and she was in high spirits, "This is the first time for the prince to be a guest at the mansion. Before that, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He never had a meal at the manor. Hearing what you said, Then tomorrow's meal must be very good?"
"It's not just the food, the drinks are all famous wines." Ning Xiang was delighted, "If you can taste the winter plum wine brewed by Mr. Xiaoyao, it will be the best in the world."
A few girls covered their lips and laughed at her, she was startled and said: "Don't laugh, one day, I will definitely drink it."
She deliberately raised her eyebrows at Rong Jinyu. On the day of the young lady's wedding, the prince will definitely bring out the wine, and he will never be stingy.
Rong Jinyu reached out and knocked on her forehead, got up and said, "Hurry up and get something to eat, fill your stomachs first, cook more for dinner, cook some ginger soup, everyone drink some to drive away the cold."
"Okay." Ning Xiang got up, greeted the girls and started to get busy again.
An Ye and Shadow sent all the items back, greeted her, and both left the attic. They had already thought about how to join the general's camp.
The dinner in the attic is very rich, and everyone eats to fill their stomachs.After dinner, Ningxiang brought the girls around the charcoal fire, doing needlework.
Miss Er in February is going to get married, and no one will sew wedding clothes for her by herself, so these things can only be done by them.
Rong Jinyu doesn't know how to needle and thread, after all, this is a sloppy dress, she still doesn't get involved, and sits quietly in front of the lamp, looking at the scroll.
After the group of girls went to sleep, she put down her books and soaked her feet in hot water. Just as she took off her clothes, there was a sound outside the door.She frowned and asked, "Who?"
"it's me."
She lifted the quilt happily, got out of bed and said in surprise: "It's so late, why are you here?"
He rubbed his hands together before holding her hand and said: "I've been standing outside for quite a while. If only Ning Xiang is alone, that's all. I'm afraid I'll scare the other girls."
He pulled her to sit by the bed, and asked doubtfully, "Are they sewing wedding gowns? Do you have mine?"
"Don't you have anyone to prepare it? Oh yes, you have no elders, and no one will make it for you. Or, I will let Ningxiang sew yours too? I have your size."
He chuckled lightly and said, "No, I've already found someone to rush to make it, and it's all made of money and silk thread."
She twitched the corners of her mouth, "Money line? It takes time and effort, so don't embarrass your subordinates. Ordinary wedding clothes are fine."
"You don't have to worry, just leave these things to me, and go to sleep late at night."
He fell asleep and got up and ran outside, Rong Jinyu blinked and said: "You want to stay with me at night?"
He turned around, "No?"
"can."
Anyway, he was always elusive, and he might wake up the next day and not see anyone for a long time.
He turned around and stared at the location of her wound and asked, "Let me take a look at the wound."
She came and opened her underwear, revealing her red bellyband.Only then did Murong Yi stretch out his hand to pull the gauze away, seeing that there was no swelling around his wound, he got out of bed and fetched the medicine box, and said softly, "Lie down and I'll change your medicine."
Rong Jinyu lay down obediently, watched him busy, and then said: "Fortunately, the wound is itchy recently, right?"
She nodded.
"That's good, it means it's getting better."
He put away his things, and then he blew out the candle, and lay down with his arms around her.Resting her head in the crook of his arms, Rong Jin raised her head and asked, "Are you coming to propose marriage tomorrow? My father has prepared a lot of things today just to receive you."
"Really?" He chuckled lightly, "It's rare that King Rong is so generous, let's wait and see tomorrow."
The two of them were not talking, they hugged each other and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, when Rong Jinyu woke up, he was nowhere to be seen. She stared at the head for a while, and then she lifted the quilt and got out of bed when she heard voices in the yard.She walked to the door and shouted downstairs: "Ningxiang?"
"..."
She scratched her head and muttered where did the girls go so early in the morning?
After changing her clothes, she briefly put on some rouge and gouache before going down.Hearing voices in the backyard, he walked over.
Seeing them sweating profusely, they twitched the corners of their mouths and said, "What are you doing? Are you fighting?"
Ning Xiang shook her head and said: "Miss, didn't you say yesterday that you want us to exercise every morning? So, I took them and repeated the movements taught by An Ye yesterday. Is there anything wrong?"
Rong Jinyu sighed, so it was all here, she nodded and said: "It will be fine in half an hour, don't work so hard, I'm afraid you won't be able to lift your arms up tomorrow morning."
The little girl said in amazement: "Ah? Why is this happening?"
She pointed and said, "A little exercise, and then drink some water to moisturize your throat. Wanting to be healthy is not a matter of a day or two, it is a long-term thing. Go wash it, don't catch cold gone."
"Yes."
After they were all tidied up, Ning Xiang smiled and said: "Miss, I feel refreshed a lot."
Rong Jinyu drank the soothing tea, squinted and said with a smile: "Just don't complain about arm pain tomorrow morning, since you have already started, then persevere, don't give up in the wind and rain."
"Servant must hold on!" She turned around and shouted: "Quickly, bring the food to Miss."
The little girl came in with a smile on her plate, put the food on the table, and stood aside waiting.Rong Jinyu felt that everyone had exercised in the morning, they were all so happy, their faces were radiant, and their spirits were different.
After she finished her meal quietly, the girls sat in the backyard again, sewing wedding gowns with needles and threads.She just sat by and drank water, occasionally said a word or two to them, and wanted to tell them not to bother, but she couldn't open her mouth, so she just let them go.
The little girl suddenly said in surprise: "Our young lady is going to get married in two months, isn't sister Ningxiang the only one who can accompany her there? Couldn't the three of us have to stay in Prince Rong's mansion, or be assigned to other courtyards ?”
"Ah? I don't want to, what should I do if I want to follow Miss?"
The other three maidservants all looked at Ning Xiang. Ning Xiang's subordinates were much slower, she turned to look at Rong Jinyu, and called out softly: "Miss?"
She sideways said: "Huh?"
"When Miss gets married, how many girls can she take with her?"
She stared blankly at the four girls, except for Ningxiang, the other three had particularly longing eyes, as if she had been abandoned.At this moment, she suddenly felt a little distressed, and said a little reluctantly: "Are you willing to go together?"
The four maids nodded in unison, "Yes, this servant is willing to follow the young lady for the rest of my life. Wherever the young lady goes, we will follow."
She smiled and said, "Then let's go together."
The little girl was very happy, patted their arms and said: "We must make the lady's dress beautiful."
"it is good."
The attendant at the door reported: "Miss, Yi Shizi has come to propose marriage and is in the main hall."
Ning Xiang stood up and said, "Here you come? So soon, miss, shall we go and have a look?"
Rong Jinyu got up and said, "I see, you can go to work."
She turned to the other girls and said, "You can cook what you want for lunch, you don't have to do it for me. I will go to the main hall, and Ningxiang will accompany me."
Ning Xiang gave the needle and thread to the little girls, told the little girls to do it well, and happily followed her out of the attic.
Halfway on the way, she saw a big man who was being supported by others, stopped and looked carefully, and listened to Ning Xiang: "Isn't that Princess Ling? Is it Miss?"
"It's her." She sighed, and continued walking with a smile on her face, "Today's situation is quite special, maybe she will come along to rejoice."
Ning Xiang nodded, and suddenly thought of something and said: "Miss, does this princess really like my uncle? If she finds out that my uncle is Mr. Xiaoyao in the future, will she be angry?"
She stopped suddenly, "There is nothing you can do to get angry, let's go. This matter is not within the scope of my consideration."
"Jinyu!" Seeing her figure, Ling Ling picked up her dress and hurried over.Several maids behind her chased after her and shouted: "Princess, please slow down."
"Princess." She bowed to Ning Xiang.
She saw the panting maids behind Ling Ling, and said with a light smile, "Princess, what's going on?"
She rolled her eyes at the person next to her, stepped forward and took her arm and said, "Don't mention it, it's not my father. Brother Wang has other things to do today, so father arranged so many people to follow me. It's annoying. And there are worse things!"
Rong Jinyu smiled sideways, "What's the matter?"
"I want to go to Mu Qing. I didn't say a few words to him yesterday, so I wanted to see him while I was here to congratulate you. But my father asked so many people to follow me just to prevent me from Go find Mu Qing."
She suddenly lowered her head and covered her lips and smiled, thinking that she was the same way back then, always looking for excuses to go to the county prince's mansion to meet Brother Yi, and bringing several court ladies and eunuchs with her every time.
"The emperor is worried about you. Besides your temperament, the whole Nanliang knows that they are afraid that you will cause trouble." She laughed.
Ling Ling didn't take it seriously, "What's wrong with my temper, this is called lively and cute, everyone loves it!"
Rong Jinyu rolled her eyes helplessly, "Yes, everyone loves our princess."
Ling Ling leaned on her shoulder, "Unfortunately, Mu Qing doesn't like me. Hey, you went to the attic with him yesterday, did you see other women besides Miaoyin?"
Rong Jinyu shook her head, "There really isn't one, only Miaoyin is a woman. Are you still thinking about the beautiful girl he mentioned?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to see which girl it was that made him hide such a treasure so tightly, as if someone would find out and snatch her away." Mentioning this beautiful girl, Ling Ling was not convinced.
Rong Jinyu pretended to be innocent and shook her head, and said nothing more.
Before he reached the courtyard, he heard noisy noises, Ling Ling said: "Jinyu, go and see, Yi Shizi is really arrogant today, spending a lot of money."
She dragged Rong Jinyu to the yard in a hurry, and the servants gathered around to watch, all the big boxes were open.Boxes of gold, silver, jewellery, silk and satin are placed in the yard.Good luck, concentric lock and a red wedding dress...
"Miss, look, this is a wedding dress, all made of money thread." Ning Xiang tugged her hand and pointed happily.
Ling Ling clicked his tongue twice, "It's too arrogant, this prince Yi married you, did he exhaust all the money of the county palace? These years he has no salary at all, and he is a medicine jar. Where did he get so much money and jewels?"
Rong Jinyu looked at her, and Murong Yi's faint laughter sounded behind her. The two of them turned around and heard him say: "The princess is right, this is all the money of the county prince's mansion. But, I am willing to use the money To marry a wife is enough."
Ling Ling twitched the corners of her mouth, and listened to Ningxiang smiled and said: "Young master is so kind to the young lady, even if you spend all your money, you still want to marry my young lady, which is really enviable to the servants."
Ling Ling is jealous, a woman is afraid of marrying the wrong man in her life.She puffed out her cheeks and watched Rong Jinyu and Murong Yi look at each other, the affection in those eyes made her feel embarrassed.It would be great if one day she could marry Mu Qing.
Murong Yi stretched out his hand, Rong Jinyu held his hand, walked over with a smile and asked, "How is your leg?"
"It's all right now, is your injury healed?" He asked.
"Well, all right."
"Can you two consider how this princess feels?" She thought for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it okay if I go and call Mu Qing here? I saw him yesterday and haven't said a word yet. I just left, and today I will bring him here even if I blow up his restaurant."
Rong Jinyu frowned, "Princess, it's better not to go, Mr. Xiaoyao said yesterday that he was going to go to the mountain to collect medicine, and he wouldn't be able to come back within two days."
"Picking medicine? What kind of medicine?" She looked at Murong Yi's leg, she immediately understood, and said unhappy: "It seems that I missed him again perfectly."
"Princess, prince, miss, stop standing in the yard, go to the main hall and drink some tea to warm yourself up?" Cao Butler said with a smile.
Rong Jinyu turned around and pushed the wheelchair, and then several officials came outside the door.She glanced back and heard Ling Ling say in surprise: "Why is Meng Jiyao here too? The general is also here."
Murong Yi smiled and said: "Probably he wanted to see me make a fool of myself. After all, in the court yesterday, Prime Minister Meng mentioned such things as gold, silver and jewelry, thinking that I have suffered from illness and have no property these years, so he came to see me for a joke."
Rong Jinyu stood up straight and looked coldly at Meng Jiyao and his son.Prime Minister Meng looked at the boxes of silver, raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty Yi really spends a lot of money. I'm afraid this is all the savings of the county prince's mansion, right? If you need any help from the truth in the future, just ask."
"In this way, the prime minister will be obliquely passed." Murong Yi nodded and replied.
Rong Jinyu tightened her arms, and said in a cold tone: "Prime Minister Meng is able to speak today, and in these years when Mr. Yi was fighting wits and courage with the god of death, Prime Minister Meng never offered a helping hand. Could it be that the sun came out from the west? Did Prime Minister Meng discover it with conscience?"
"Yu'er, don't be rude." Rong Qingyang walked over with a smile, and stretched out his hand to ask: "Prime Minister Meng, please."
Prime Minister Meng gave her a sideways look, then walked inside with a smile.
After Meng Jiyao softly called "Your Highness the Princess", she looked at Rong Jinyu, then Yi Shizi, and said with a smile: "Miss Jinyu, marriage is not a child's play, if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss."
"What do you mean? You are saying that my father's marriage gift is wrong. It hurt Jinyu?" Ling Ling stared and said: "Where is the girl, how do you talk?"
"Princess, I..."
"Don't call me, hurry up and go find your father, we can't talk to you." Ling Ling waved his hands in disgust.
The corners of Meng Jiyao's mouth twitched fiercely, because she was a princess, Her Highness did not dare to contradict her, so she could only swallow her breath and followed into the main hall.
"Hey, what kind of virtue! My royal father actually asked me to learn more from her, I'm pissed!"
"Don't be angry, didn't I say nothing? It's not her who decides whether to marry right, but I. Fortunately, only you know if you are happy or not, and others can't feel it." Her eyes fell on Murong Yi body, smiled and said: "But I only want to marry you in my life."
"It's so disgusting." Ling Ling grabbed her arm, "I beg you, you will lose me if you continue like this, and I will be jealous of you."
"Then the princess should hurry up and find a son-in-law. All the rich children in Nanliang, as long as the princess wants to marry, the handsome son is still waiting in line for the princess to choose?" Ning Xiang laughed.
"Go, go, you girl is brave enough to tease this princess." Ling Ling sighed and said, "But you don't know, there is only one person in this princess's heart, and that person has a bunch of other people." Reasons to reject me. I am also very helpless, is it wrong to like someone?"
Murong Yi smiled and said: "It's right to like someone, but it's wrong to like someone who doesn't like me. He doesn't care about you, so I don't like him anymore."
For some reason, Rong Jinyu remembered the "Anyang" that Miaoyin yelled yesterday, and the name seemed to be a girl's name.
Anyang, Anyang….
Princess Anyang?
Her face darkened, why didn't she think that the youngest daughter of Emperor An is called Anyang?Legend has it that the princess has a gentle temperament and outstanding appearance. She is said to be the most beautiful woman in Anguo, and she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.The Emperor Anguo loved her so much that he paid a lot of money to find people with strong martial arts from all over the world to teach her martial arts.
Compared with Princess Anyang, she is simply weak.She took a deep breath, felt inexplicably restless, and made up her mind to practice more martial arts after her injury recovered.
"Yu'er?"
"Jinyu?"
She regained her composure, turned her face in response, and Ling Ling said: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied? Let's go and get ready for dinner. I'm already hungry."
She nodded, and pushed Murong Yi into the main hall.
Rong Qingyang was the happiest today, many people came to congratulate him.He was still worried yesterday that Murong Yi would come to propose marriage, and he would not be able to offer anything.The last time he gave Yu'er a gift, he was worried at that time that he might not be able to give anything next time.
I didn't expect to really give him a long face today.
While eating, there was a neighing sound of a fierce horse outside the door, and everyone turned their heads to see who was coming.When he saw the dusty Ling Zheng, Murong Yi smiled and said: "Yesterday I told me that I wouldn't come here today, I didn't expect to finish things so soon."
Ling Zheng hurried over and brought a jar of good wine, walked over and sat on the other side of Murong Yi, took the wine and said: "This good wine is naturally paired with good food, come and come, I asked Mr. Xiaoyao for it It took a long time to ask for it."
Rong Jinyu raised her forehead, it's over, now she's going to be ruined.
Sure enough, Ling Ling frowned and asked: "Have you met Mu Qing? Didn't he go to gather medicine?"
"Picking medicine? The shopkeeper just told me that he went out early in the morning, but didn't say where he went. I begged for this drink a long time ago, and I have been reluctant to drink it." He looked at Murong Yi and Rong Jinyu, "If it wasn't for today You come to propose marriage, such a happy event, I will not show it."
Rong Jinyu happily stretched out his hand to pass the wine glass, "Thank you Xiao Wang Zheng."
Murong Yi stopped him and said, "I'll drink it for you."
"Hey? What are you doing? Today she has to drink this wine by herself. You are not married yet, so you protect your wife? Is that good?" Ling Zheng took the wine glass and handed it to her, and gave Murong Yi a sideways look, "You should thank me, If I hadn't quit, would you have today?"
Rong Jinyu nodded, the matter between her and Murong Yi, if it wasn't because of him, it would have been very bumpy, how could it have come to this point so easily?
"Come on, toast the young prince. If it wasn't for you, our journey would have been quite difficult." She raised her head and drank it boldly after she finished speaking.
Ling Zheng saw that she was more forthright than a boy, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it down.He looked at Murong Yi, "Where's yours? Drink it quickly."
Murong Yi smiled slightly, it doesn't matter if he is in a good mood today and drinks a couple of glasses.
In this way, several officials came to toast, and Rong Jinyu was worried whether he would be drunk.So he asked quietly: "Drink less, I'm afraid you'll get drunk. What if you talk out everything when you're drunk, what should you do if you get exposed?"
He held her hand tightly and tilted his head slightly, "Don't worry, I won't get drunk for a thousand cups, unless I want to get drunk, I will definitely get drunk."
"So amazing? Don't lie to me?"
He smiled and said: "I'm not going to lie to you, I grew up soaking in wine tanks, and the wine is famous wine, ordinary people can get drunk by smoking, I can't even get drunk even if I drink it."
She breathed out, "Then you can drink as you like, just be happy."
The marriage proposal banquet lasted until noon, Rong Jinyu looked at all the officials lying on the wine table, and twitched the corners of his mouth, even Ling Zheng was drunk.Ling Ling didn't drink the whole time, looked at each other with her, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"This group of scumbags, who can't drink enough, come forward one by one, trying to get the prince drunk to see him embarrassing? Now it's all right, I am the one who is embarrassing. Hahaha!" Ling Ling stood up and looked at them, holding chopsticks Hit the heads of those officials, hit Prime Minister Meng a few more times, stepped on the chair and cursed: "This Prime Minister, no matter in court or in private, is very arrogant, the princess has long been disgusted with him. .”
"His Royal Highness?" Meng Jiyao just went back and found someone to bring her father back. She saw her hitting his head with chopsticks from a long distance, rushed in and snatched the chopsticks from her hand. Asked, "What is the princess doing?"
"Nothing, just to see if the Prime Minister is really drunk, why are you excited?" Ling Ling glared at her, "It's nothing important, are you rebelling?"
"you?"
"What are you doing? You want to hit me? Come and try!" Ling Ling squinted at her fist, looking at her gritted teeth, and said with a sneer, "Since you don't dare to rebel, take your father and leave here."
With a headache, Rong Jinyu turned her head and said to the maids: "Don't you go and pull the princess away? If the princess makes a mistake, you won't be able to pay for it."
Only then did the maids wake up from a dream, and rushed to pull her away.
Rong Jinyu got up and said: "Miss Meng, quickly take the prime minister back to the mansion, let the servants cook some hangover soup..."
"Do you tube!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Meng Jiyao.
She let out a breath and let her go.
Meng Jiyao turned her face sideways, and a few hands lifted Prime Minister Meng out of the yard.She walked a few steps and looked back at them, snorted coldly and strode away from Prince Rong's mansion.
Afterwards, officials were picked up one after another.Ling Ling was in charge of taking Ling Zheng away, Rong Jinyu asked Steward Cao to take Rong Qingyang back to the room, leaving only her, Murong Yi, and Ning Xiang in the main hall.She got up and said, "What should you do, should you go to rest in my attic, or should I take you back?"
He thought for a while and said: "Send me back, it's rare to be happy today, go to my house and I'll cook fish for you."
Ning Xiang opened her eyes wide, "Your Majesty can cook?"
He nodded with a smile, and said with a side face: "I see that you are only interested in drinking and not eating anything. Let's go."
"Ning Xiang also wants to go." Ning Xiang said.
He nodded, "Go back and pack your things first. I don't have anything for women over there. If you need to come back, it will be a bit troublesome."
Ning Xiang looked at them in astonishment, then nodded and smiled: "Good servant girl, go and get it now."
The two stood at the door and waited for a long time. Steward Cao looked at the two of them and asked, "Would you like to rest in the guest room for a while?"
He shook his head and said: "Don't bother, the housekeeper can go to work, don't worry about me."
Steward Cao responded, turned around and saw Ningxiang coming over panting with a bundle, he was puzzled and said: "Miss, this is going to..."
"I saw that Yu'er didn't eat much, so I asked Ning Xiang to bring medicine to my house, cook something for her, and send someone to bring Yu'er back later." He explained.
"In this way, there will be Lao Shizi." He bent down and said.
Steward Cao wanted the groom to take them back, but Murong Yi didn't.He just wanted to be pushed by her and walk all the way back.
On the way, Ningxiang stayed a little far away from them, fearing that she would be too embarrassed to talk to the two of them.Rong Jinyu pushed Murong Yi, looking at the passers-by, chatting affectionately.
Walking to the gate of the county prince's mansion, he turned his face and asked, "Are you tired?"
Rong Jinyu shook his head, "Not tired."
Steward Fu happily came out to welcome him. When he arrived at the bamboo garden, Ningxiang sighed and said, "I didn't take a good look at it last time, but now it seems that the scenery of the bamboo garden is really beautiful. My son, I don't know when I have the opportunity to go to the Wintersweet Garden." What about it? When it’s spring, it’s gone.”
"How many people want to go, but they can only watch from a distance. You just wait for the day when the prince is happy, and maybe he will let you go." Steward Fu smiled lovingly.
Murong Yi stood up and said with a smile: "I am happy today, let Uncle Fu take you to the backyard of the restaurant for a stroll."
Ning Xiang was so ecstatic that she almost jumped up and said happily, "Really?"
She looked at Rong Jinyu with a questioning meaning, and she had to ask for her consent.
Seeing her eagerness and joy, Rong Jinyu waved his hands and said, "Go, go and have a look, then come back, don't waste time."
"As ordered."
Rong Jinyu looked at Steward Fu again, "Uncle Lao Fu is here."
"Where."
Steward Fu took her to the restaurant by a short cut, but before arriving at the restaurant, he heard the people on the street discussing this.Ning Xiang stopped when she heard that Meng Cheng was assassinated, looked at the two young masters, walked over in surprise, and asked, "What are the two young masters discussing? I seem to have heard the young master say that Cheng was assassinated?"
"You came from there, so you don't know." Young Master Mai pointed to the direction she came from, and continued, "I saw with my own eyes that those three people besieged Ms. Meng, and it is said that today is a good day for Mr. Yi to go to Rong Wang's residence , King Rong entertained the officials who came to congratulate him with good food and wine, including Prime Minister Meng."
"There is indeed Prime Minister Meng. There are such things as assassination in such a clear sky and broad daylight, but who did that young master hear?" asked Steward Fu.
The man seemed to recognize Steward Fu, pointing and saying, "Are you the steward of the county prince's mansion?"
Forbe nodded.
"I just heard what Ms. Meng said, the princess wants to seek revenge or something..."
"My son, don't talk nonsense. Although Princess Ling is naughty, she will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Besides, Prime Minister Meng has not offended the princess. Even if he did, wouldn't there be the emperor? The princess would not be so stupid." Butler Fu frowned, and he looked at Ningxiang, "Little girl, this winter plum probably won't be seen."
Ning Xiang nodded, frowned and said: "There must be someone secretly playing tricks on this matter. Uncle Fu, let's go back and tell the son and miss about it?"
"it is good."
The two hurried back.
In Zhuyuan, Murong Yi just sprinkled salt on the fish and put it aside to marinate, when he came out, he saw Ning Xiang and Fu Bo came back quickly, with anxious faces.
Rong Jinyu was in the room, and he heard him say in surprise: "You've seen Lamei so soon?"
"Huh? Ningxiang is back?" Rong Jinyu came out and saw the two of them entering the room anxiously.
"Did something happen? Why are you two sweating profusely?" she asked.
"Miss something is wrong." Ning Xiang was a little impatient, he looked at Uncle Fu.
"It's like this..." Forber told them the matter
Murong Yi frowned, and turned his head to look at Rong Jinyu, "It seems that the fish will not be eaten today, no matter whether it is the princess's hands or not, the County Prince's Mansion and Prince Rong's Mansion will not be able to think about peace today."
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, someone from the harem saw that Rong Jinyu was there, so they had no choice but to inform them.They didn't delay for a moment, Fu Bo personally drove them to the gate of the palace in a carriage, and waited with Ning Xiang.
When Rong Jinyu and Murong Yi arrived at the Golden Luan Hall, all the sober and delirious officials were in the hall.The emperor of Nanliang sullenly stared at the unconscious drunkards on the ground. The imperial doctor had concluded that he was drunk two hours ago, and he drank hangover soup, but there was no sign of waking up.
Ling Zheng explained: "Uncle Huang, the wine was brought over by my nephew. You know that Mr. Xiaoyao's wine is always strong, and those who are not strong enough to drink can get drunk after just a sip, so they... Uncle Huang should send someone to give them a bed, if they get sick, there will be no one in the morning."
"You still have the nerve to say it?" Emperor Nanliang glared at him angrily.
Miss Meng kept crying, Ling Ling innocently knelt aside and lowered her head.
Rong Jinyu stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the prime minister?"
"The imperial doctor is still treating you." Nanliang Emperor sighed and shouted, "Ling'er, is what Miss Meng said just now true?"
Rong Jinyu and Murong Yi came late and did not hear what Meng Jiyao said.Her gaze fell on Ling Ling, and she said clearly, "It's true. However, it was Prime Minister Meng who spoke disrespectfully first, and he looked down on Yi Shizi, so Erchen beat him with chopsticks when he was drunk. Twice. But this does not mean that it was Erchen who assassinated him."
"Princess, I heard the other party say your name with my own ears. I don't have enough heads to chop off the princess." She took out a jade pendant from her pocket, "This is the princess's personal jade pendant, right? This or that name?" The one that the assassin left behind, do you dare to say it wasn't yours?"
Rong Jinyu roughly understood that the opponent was alone or two or three, not a group, there was a female killer, and she would leave as soon as she got her hands.
But seeing that Meng Jiyao was not injured, it must be that her martial arts are superior to that person.
I don't know who has higher martial arts, Meng Jiyao or Ling Ling.
"Your majesty, can you let me say something?"
Everyone looked at her one after another, and Emperor Nanliang stretched out his hand and said, "Please tell me."
She turned her head to look at Lingling, "Where did the princess go after taking the little prince back? Can someone prove it?"
"The maidservant can prove it for me."
"Princess, that's your maid, she's one of my own, how can she come out to testify? It's really unconvincing, isn't it?" Meng Jiyao said.
Ling Ling stared at her, gritted his teeth and said, "I did what I did, but I didn't do anything. Even if my head was beheaded, I would not admit my mistake."
"Princess, don't worry." Rong Jinyu looked at Meng Jiyao, "Miss Meng said she saw the princess assassinated with her own eyes. Was the princess injured at the time? Where was the injury? How many people came? Miss Meng was able to snatch the jade pendant, which means that People's martial arts are not as good as yours, right?"
Meng Jiyao didn't understand what she meant, she frowned slightly and said: "I fought against that person, and that person's martial arts were indeed not as good as mine. At that time, I only wanted to capture her alive and didn't hurt her. The jade pendant was dropped when she was running away. I didn't snatch it. It is only after seeing the jade pendant that I can be sure that it was done by the princess."
"You're talking nonsense!" Ling Ling was annoyed.
Emperor Nanliang understood Rong Jinyu's meaning, and immediately said: "Ling'er, don't interrupt, let Miss Jinyu finish."
"Since that man's martial arts is not as good as yours, then you are competing with the princess. If the princess wins you, it seems that this matter is a misunderstanding." She said.
Meng Jiyao twitched the corners of her mouth and snorted coldly: "Compete with the princess? The princess is a body of a thousand pieces of gold. If you are injured and disabled, can you guarantee that the prime minister's mansion will not be harmed?"
Rong Jinyu looked at Emperor Nan Liang, his eyes were calm, and he squinted at Ling Ling on the ground, "Murder pays for life. Ms. Meng, I promise everything, and I will never take sides with anyone."
Ling Ling sneered, got up and said: "My princess will compete with you, and if you insist that the martial arts of that person is inferior to yours, it means that this princess's martial arts is not as good as yours. I want you to take a good look today. This princess is not a showman!"
The matter has come to this point and can only be resolved by force.Outside the Golden Temple, the two stood facing each other, hating each other.Ling Zheng sweated, and looked sideways at Rong Jinyu, "Miss Meng's martial arts are not weak, Ling'er must suffer."
She immediately became worried, and she felt that Ling Ling had the upper hand just by looking at her momentum.She bent down and asked, "Is there any way?"
Murong Yi squinted at her, "You made a wrong step. The princess's martial arts are not as good as hers!"
She asked nervously, "I'm asking if you can turn things around."
"Look, maybe she can turn it around on her own."
Said and not said the same!
She sighed and stared blankly at the two people. Eunuch Park called out "Start". The swords in their hands seemed to have lost their eyes, and they stabbed at random, which made everyone feel terrified.
Emperor Nanliang was very concerned. He knew how much his daughter was worth. He believed that she was wronged, but with all the evidence in front of him, he couldn't help even if he wanted to help.If she could learn a lot from a pitfall, he would have less to worry about.
"Small……"
He wanted to say be careful, and he got off the chair, but he could only swallow the words and pretended to watch calmly.
It was only then that Rong Jinyu discovered that Ling Ling's martial arts were not weak. At first, she didn't have the advantage. Later, after getting familiar with Meng Jiyao's moves, she cracked them bit by bit. Finally, pointing the sword at her neck, she raised her chin and said, "That person's martial arts are not as good as yours, but You lost to me again, do you think this princess killed anyone?"
Ling Ling was completely angry, "My princess has always had a clear distinction between love and hate, but she hates being slandered the most. Can you conclude that it is me just by a jade pendant? You are so bold! I don't know when the jade pendant was lost, but this princess The princess knows that when you took away Prime Minister Meng, you were very close to this princess, and it is very likely that you were the thief shouting "Stop the thief!"
When she pointed her sword at Meng Jiyao, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Especially Nanliang Emperor, who really held his heart, without blinking his eyes.Murong Yi was ready to leave at any time, just in case something happened, he didn't expect her to win, he really underestimated her.
Ling Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and looked at Yan and then at Meng Jiyao.
"I do not have!"
She knelt down anxiously, and faced Emperor Nanliang, "I ask the emperor to be the master for my daughter. My daughter did not steal the jade pendant from the princess. This jade pendant was indeed left by that person. My majesty, please investigate clearly and return justice to the prime minister's residence."
Ling Ling followed and knelt down, "I am wronged by others, and I feel very aggrieved. I implore Father to be the master for my son!"
Emperor Nanliang stared, and if he won by luck, what would happen?
"Even if it's not you, this matter has nothing to do with you." Emperor Nanliang sighed, and looked at Rong Qingyang, "Today is a happy event in your family, and there are many people around, right? Is there a registration for those who come and go? Yes Someone from the outside world sneaked into the mansion?"
Rong Qingyang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "There are no strangers, they are all family members brought by the ministers, but most of them are still acquainted, other than that, there are no other people in the house."
Murong Yi, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Has the princess collided with anyone before?"
Ling Lingsi thought: "I bumped into someone when I was eating. She was a maid at the time. She was about the same height as me, and her body shape was similar, but I didn't take a good look at her face."
"In Prince Rong's Mansion?" Rong Jinyu asked.
She nodded, and then said: "It was there at the time, but it is definitely not anymore now, even if you go to Rongwang's mansion, you can't find it."
Rong Jinyu frowned and said: "Since she is the maidservant of the palace, before employing her, Steward Cao will definitely ask where she came from."
"Yes, as long as you go back to the house and ask the housekeeper, you can basically know who it is." Rong Qing said.
Emperor Nanliang nodded, pointed at him and said, "Leave this matter to Rong Aiqing, arrest the murderer as soon as possible, so that I can give the prime minister an explanation."
Rong Qingyang bent down and said: "I will do my best to share the emperor's worries."
(End of this chapter)
When she came out of the main hall, she saw the girls in the attic unloading.The full car shouldn't all be New Year's goods in the attic, right?
She walked over and heard Ning Xiang say: "Be careful, that's all for the attic, thank you uncle. Oh, Miss, are you back?"
She nodded and looked at the chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables and fruits on the ground, and there were paper-cut couplets beside it, she said with a smile: "I thought you were back a long time ago, take everything back quickly, and get some food Warm your body, everyone has worked hard."
Ning Xiang shook her head, "It's not hard."
All the things were moved to the attic, but she didn't sit on anything. Seeing that everyone was so tired that they couldn't straighten up, she ordered them to sit down, and poured water for them one by one.
"It looks like I haven't been exercising regularly. I'm so tired with this little New Year's goods. If I do other things in the future, wouldn't I be too tired? Get up early tomorrow, run around the yard, and then do other things. "she says.
"It's Miss."
"Haven't you had lunch yet?" she asked.
Ning Xiang shook her head, "Everyone is afraid of delaying time, so they want to finish everything early and come back for dinner. Miss, don't worry, our meals are simple, and we left a lot of steamed buns in the morning. We will heat them up later, and eat whatever we want Order to fill your stomach, and dinner will be ready soon."
Rong Jinyu nodded, looked left and right, then smiled helplessly.
"Miss, have you eaten?"
She nodded again, "Ningxiang, do you still have mooncloth at home?"
"Oh yes, today is the day when Miss comes to Sunflower Water. There are still many in the room. The little girl and I made a lot for Miss last month." She said holding the water glass.
She is not talking.Congealing Blood pulled her arm and said: "Miss, the house bought a lot of things today, and tomorrow the prince will come to propose marriage, and the cook will go to the street to pick fish by himself."
"That's right, the cook picks out the best things. I heard that the servants will entertain Mr. Yi tomorrow and there will be officials coming to congratulate him." The little girl laughed.
Rong Jinyu twitched her brows, and she was in high spirits, "This is the first time for the prince to be a guest at the mansion. Before that, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He never had a meal at the manor. Hearing what you said, Then tomorrow's meal must be very good?"
"It's not just the food, the drinks are all famous wines." Ning Xiang was delighted, "If you can taste the winter plum wine brewed by Mr. Xiaoyao, it will be the best in the world."
A few girls covered their lips and laughed at her, she was startled and said: "Don't laugh, one day, I will definitely drink it."
She deliberately raised her eyebrows at Rong Jinyu. On the day of the young lady's wedding, the prince will definitely bring out the wine, and he will never be stingy.
Rong Jinyu reached out and knocked on her forehead, got up and said, "Hurry up and get something to eat, fill your stomachs first, cook more for dinner, cook some ginger soup, everyone drink some to drive away the cold."
"Okay." Ning Xiang got up, greeted the girls and started to get busy again.
An Ye and Shadow sent all the items back, greeted her, and both left the attic. They had already thought about how to join the general's camp.
The dinner in the attic is very rich, and everyone eats to fill their stomachs.After dinner, Ningxiang brought the girls around the charcoal fire, doing needlework.
Miss Er in February is going to get married, and no one will sew wedding clothes for her by herself, so these things can only be done by them.
Rong Jinyu doesn't know how to needle and thread, after all, this is a sloppy dress, she still doesn't get involved, and sits quietly in front of the lamp, looking at the scroll.
After the group of girls went to sleep, she put down her books and soaked her feet in hot water. Just as she took off her clothes, there was a sound outside the door.She frowned and asked, "Who?"
"it's me."
She lifted the quilt happily, got out of bed and said in surprise: "It's so late, why are you here?"
He rubbed his hands together before holding her hand and said: "I've been standing outside for quite a while. If only Ning Xiang is alone, that's all. I'm afraid I'll scare the other girls."
He pulled her to sit by the bed, and asked doubtfully, "Are they sewing wedding gowns? Do you have mine?"
"Don't you have anyone to prepare it? Oh yes, you have no elders, and no one will make it for you. Or, I will let Ningxiang sew yours too? I have your size."
He chuckled lightly and said, "No, I've already found someone to rush to make it, and it's all made of money and silk thread."
She twitched the corners of her mouth, "Money line? It takes time and effort, so don't embarrass your subordinates. Ordinary wedding clothes are fine."
"You don't have to worry, just leave these things to me, and go to sleep late at night."
He fell asleep and got up and ran outside, Rong Jinyu blinked and said: "You want to stay with me at night?"
He turned around, "No?"
"can."
Anyway, he was always elusive, and he might wake up the next day and not see anyone for a long time.
He turned around and stared at the location of her wound and asked, "Let me take a look at the wound."
She came and opened her underwear, revealing her red bellyband.Only then did Murong Yi stretch out his hand to pull the gauze away, seeing that there was no swelling around his wound, he got out of bed and fetched the medicine box, and said softly, "Lie down and I'll change your medicine."
Rong Jinyu lay down obediently, watched him busy, and then said: "Fortunately, the wound is itchy recently, right?"
She nodded.
"That's good, it means it's getting better."
He put away his things, and then he blew out the candle, and lay down with his arms around her.Resting her head in the crook of his arms, Rong Jin raised her head and asked, "Are you coming to propose marriage tomorrow? My father has prepared a lot of things today just to receive you."
"Really?" He chuckled lightly, "It's rare that King Rong is so generous, let's wait and see tomorrow."
The two of them were not talking, they hugged each other and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, when Rong Jinyu woke up, he was nowhere to be seen. She stared at the head for a while, and then she lifted the quilt and got out of bed when she heard voices in the yard.She walked to the door and shouted downstairs: "Ningxiang?"
"..."
She scratched her head and muttered where did the girls go so early in the morning?
After changing her clothes, she briefly put on some rouge and gouache before going down.Hearing voices in the backyard, he walked over.
Seeing them sweating profusely, they twitched the corners of their mouths and said, "What are you doing? Are you fighting?"
Ning Xiang shook her head and said: "Miss, didn't you say yesterday that you want us to exercise every morning? So, I took them and repeated the movements taught by An Ye yesterday. Is there anything wrong?"
Rong Jinyu sighed, so it was all here, she nodded and said: "It will be fine in half an hour, don't work so hard, I'm afraid you won't be able to lift your arms up tomorrow morning."
The little girl said in amazement: "Ah? Why is this happening?"
She pointed and said, "A little exercise, and then drink some water to moisturize your throat. Wanting to be healthy is not a matter of a day or two, it is a long-term thing. Go wash it, don't catch cold gone."
"Yes."
After they were all tidied up, Ning Xiang smiled and said: "Miss, I feel refreshed a lot."
Rong Jinyu drank the soothing tea, squinted and said with a smile: "Just don't complain about arm pain tomorrow morning, since you have already started, then persevere, don't give up in the wind and rain."
"Servant must hold on!" She turned around and shouted: "Quickly, bring the food to Miss."
The little girl came in with a smile on her plate, put the food on the table, and stood aside waiting.Rong Jinyu felt that everyone had exercised in the morning, they were all so happy, their faces were radiant, and their spirits were different.
After she finished her meal quietly, the girls sat in the backyard again, sewing wedding gowns with needles and threads.She just sat by and drank water, occasionally said a word or two to them, and wanted to tell them not to bother, but she couldn't open her mouth, so she just let them go.
The little girl suddenly said in surprise: "Our young lady is going to get married in two months, isn't sister Ningxiang the only one who can accompany her there? Couldn't the three of us have to stay in Prince Rong's mansion, or be assigned to other courtyards ?”
"Ah? I don't want to, what should I do if I want to follow Miss?"
The other three maidservants all looked at Ning Xiang. Ning Xiang's subordinates were much slower, she turned to look at Rong Jinyu, and called out softly: "Miss?"
She sideways said: "Huh?"
"When Miss gets married, how many girls can she take with her?"
She stared blankly at the four girls, except for Ningxiang, the other three had particularly longing eyes, as if she had been abandoned.At this moment, she suddenly felt a little distressed, and said a little reluctantly: "Are you willing to go together?"
The four maids nodded in unison, "Yes, this servant is willing to follow the young lady for the rest of my life. Wherever the young lady goes, we will follow."
She smiled and said, "Then let's go together."
The little girl was very happy, patted their arms and said: "We must make the lady's dress beautiful."
"it is good."
The attendant at the door reported: "Miss, Yi Shizi has come to propose marriage and is in the main hall."
Ning Xiang stood up and said, "Here you come? So soon, miss, shall we go and have a look?"
Rong Jinyu got up and said, "I see, you can go to work."
She turned to the other girls and said, "You can cook what you want for lunch, you don't have to do it for me. I will go to the main hall, and Ningxiang will accompany me."
Ning Xiang gave the needle and thread to the little girls, told the little girls to do it well, and happily followed her out of the attic.
Halfway on the way, she saw a big man who was being supported by others, stopped and looked carefully, and listened to Ning Xiang: "Isn't that Princess Ling? Is it Miss?"
"It's her." She sighed, and continued walking with a smile on her face, "Today's situation is quite special, maybe she will come along to rejoice."
Ning Xiang nodded, and suddenly thought of something and said: "Miss, does this princess really like my uncle? If she finds out that my uncle is Mr. Xiaoyao in the future, will she be angry?"
She stopped suddenly, "There is nothing you can do to get angry, let's go. This matter is not within the scope of my consideration."
"Jinyu!" Seeing her figure, Ling Ling picked up her dress and hurried over.Several maids behind her chased after her and shouted: "Princess, please slow down."
"Princess." She bowed to Ning Xiang.
She saw the panting maids behind Ling Ling, and said with a light smile, "Princess, what's going on?"
She rolled her eyes at the person next to her, stepped forward and took her arm and said, "Don't mention it, it's not my father. Brother Wang has other things to do today, so father arranged so many people to follow me. It's annoying. And there are worse things!"
Rong Jinyu smiled sideways, "What's the matter?"
"I want to go to Mu Qing. I didn't say a few words to him yesterday, so I wanted to see him while I was here to congratulate you. But my father asked so many people to follow me just to prevent me from Go find Mu Qing."
She suddenly lowered her head and covered her lips and smiled, thinking that she was the same way back then, always looking for excuses to go to the county prince's mansion to meet Brother Yi, and bringing several court ladies and eunuchs with her every time.
"The emperor is worried about you. Besides your temperament, the whole Nanliang knows that they are afraid that you will cause trouble." She laughed.
Ling Ling didn't take it seriously, "What's wrong with my temper, this is called lively and cute, everyone loves it!"
Rong Jinyu rolled her eyes helplessly, "Yes, everyone loves our princess."
Ling Ling leaned on her shoulder, "Unfortunately, Mu Qing doesn't like me. Hey, you went to the attic with him yesterday, did you see other women besides Miaoyin?"
Rong Jinyu shook her head, "There really isn't one, only Miaoyin is a woman. Are you still thinking about the beautiful girl he mentioned?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to see which girl it was that made him hide such a treasure so tightly, as if someone would find out and snatch her away." Mentioning this beautiful girl, Ling Ling was not convinced.
Rong Jinyu pretended to be innocent and shook her head, and said nothing more.
Before he reached the courtyard, he heard noisy noises, Ling Ling said: "Jinyu, go and see, Yi Shizi is really arrogant today, spending a lot of money."
She dragged Rong Jinyu to the yard in a hurry, and the servants gathered around to watch, all the big boxes were open.Boxes of gold, silver, jewellery, silk and satin are placed in the yard.Good luck, concentric lock and a red wedding dress...
"Miss, look, this is a wedding dress, all made of money thread." Ning Xiang tugged her hand and pointed happily.
Ling Ling clicked his tongue twice, "It's too arrogant, this prince Yi married you, did he exhaust all the money of the county palace? These years he has no salary at all, and he is a medicine jar. Where did he get so much money and jewels?"
Rong Jinyu looked at her, and Murong Yi's faint laughter sounded behind her. The two of them turned around and heard him say: "The princess is right, this is all the money of the county prince's mansion. But, I am willing to use the money To marry a wife is enough."
Ling Ling twitched the corners of her mouth, and listened to Ningxiang smiled and said: "Young master is so kind to the young lady, even if you spend all your money, you still want to marry my young lady, which is really enviable to the servants."
Ling Ling is jealous, a woman is afraid of marrying the wrong man in her life.She puffed out her cheeks and watched Rong Jinyu and Murong Yi look at each other, the affection in those eyes made her feel embarrassed.It would be great if one day she could marry Mu Qing.
Murong Yi stretched out his hand, Rong Jinyu held his hand, walked over with a smile and asked, "How is your leg?"
"It's all right now, is your injury healed?" He asked.
"Well, all right."
"Can you two consider how this princess feels?" She thought for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it okay if I go and call Mu Qing here? I saw him yesterday and haven't said a word yet. I just left, and today I will bring him here even if I blow up his restaurant."
Rong Jinyu frowned, "Princess, it's better not to go, Mr. Xiaoyao said yesterday that he was going to go to the mountain to collect medicine, and he wouldn't be able to come back within two days."
"Picking medicine? What kind of medicine?" She looked at Murong Yi's leg, she immediately understood, and said unhappy: "It seems that I missed him again perfectly."
"Princess, prince, miss, stop standing in the yard, go to the main hall and drink some tea to warm yourself up?" Cao Butler said with a smile.
Rong Jinyu turned around and pushed the wheelchair, and then several officials came outside the door.She glanced back and heard Ling Ling say in surprise: "Why is Meng Jiyao here too? The general is also here."
Murong Yi smiled and said: "Probably he wanted to see me make a fool of myself. After all, in the court yesterday, Prime Minister Meng mentioned such things as gold, silver and jewelry, thinking that I have suffered from illness and have no property these years, so he came to see me for a joke."
Rong Jinyu stood up straight and looked coldly at Meng Jiyao and his son.Prime Minister Meng looked at the boxes of silver, raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty Yi really spends a lot of money. I'm afraid this is all the savings of the county prince's mansion, right? If you need any help from the truth in the future, just ask."
"In this way, the prime minister will be obliquely passed." Murong Yi nodded and replied.
Rong Jinyu tightened her arms, and said in a cold tone: "Prime Minister Meng is able to speak today, and in these years when Mr. Yi was fighting wits and courage with the god of death, Prime Minister Meng never offered a helping hand. Could it be that the sun came out from the west? Did Prime Minister Meng discover it with conscience?"
"Yu'er, don't be rude." Rong Qingyang walked over with a smile, and stretched out his hand to ask: "Prime Minister Meng, please."
Prime Minister Meng gave her a sideways look, then walked inside with a smile.
After Meng Jiyao softly called "Your Highness the Princess", she looked at Rong Jinyu, then Yi Shizi, and said with a smile: "Miss Jinyu, marriage is not a child's play, if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss."
"What do you mean? You are saying that my father's marriage gift is wrong. It hurt Jinyu?" Ling Ling stared and said: "Where is the girl, how do you talk?"
"Princess, I..."
"Don't call me, hurry up and go find your father, we can't talk to you." Ling Ling waved his hands in disgust.
The corners of Meng Jiyao's mouth twitched fiercely, because she was a princess, Her Highness did not dare to contradict her, so she could only swallow her breath and followed into the main hall.
"Hey, what kind of virtue! My royal father actually asked me to learn more from her, I'm pissed!"
"Don't be angry, didn't I say nothing? It's not her who decides whether to marry right, but I. Fortunately, only you know if you are happy or not, and others can't feel it." Her eyes fell on Murong Yi body, smiled and said: "But I only want to marry you in my life."
"It's so disgusting." Ling Ling grabbed her arm, "I beg you, you will lose me if you continue like this, and I will be jealous of you."
"Then the princess should hurry up and find a son-in-law. All the rich children in Nanliang, as long as the princess wants to marry, the handsome son is still waiting in line for the princess to choose?" Ning Xiang laughed.
"Go, go, you girl is brave enough to tease this princess." Ling Ling sighed and said, "But you don't know, there is only one person in this princess's heart, and that person has a bunch of other people." Reasons to reject me. I am also very helpless, is it wrong to like someone?"
Murong Yi smiled and said: "It's right to like someone, but it's wrong to like someone who doesn't like me. He doesn't care about you, so I don't like him anymore."
For some reason, Rong Jinyu remembered the "Anyang" that Miaoyin yelled yesterday, and the name seemed to be a girl's name.
Anyang, Anyang….
Princess Anyang?
Her face darkened, why didn't she think that the youngest daughter of Emperor An is called Anyang?Legend has it that the princess has a gentle temperament and outstanding appearance. She is said to be the most beautiful woman in Anguo, and she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.The Emperor Anguo loved her so much that he paid a lot of money to find people with strong martial arts from all over the world to teach her martial arts.
Compared with Princess Anyang, she is simply weak.She took a deep breath, felt inexplicably restless, and made up her mind to practice more martial arts after her injury recovered.
"Yu'er?"
"Jinyu?"
She regained her composure, turned her face in response, and Ling Ling said: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied? Let's go and get ready for dinner. I'm already hungry."
She nodded, and pushed Murong Yi into the main hall.
Rong Qingyang was the happiest today, many people came to congratulate him.He was still worried yesterday that Murong Yi would come to propose marriage, and he would not be able to offer anything.The last time he gave Yu'er a gift, he was worried at that time that he might not be able to give anything next time.
I didn't expect to really give him a long face today.
While eating, there was a neighing sound of a fierce horse outside the door, and everyone turned their heads to see who was coming.When he saw the dusty Ling Zheng, Murong Yi smiled and said: "Yesterday I told me that I wouldn't come here today, I didn't expect to finish things so soon."
Ling Zheng hurried over and brought a jar of good wine, walked over and sat on the other side of Murong Yi, took the wine and said: "This good wine is naturally paired with good food, come and come, I asked Mr. Xiaoyao for it It took a long time to ask for it."
Rong Jinyu raised her forehead, it's over, now she's going to be ruined.
Sure enough, Ling Ling frowned and asked: "Have you met Mu Qing? Didn't he go to gather medicine?"
"Picking medicine? The shopkeeper just told me that he went out early in the morning, but didn't say where he went. I begged for this drink a long time ago, and I have been reluctant to drink it." He looked at Murong Yi and Rong Jinyu, "If it wasn't for today You come to propose marriage, such a happy event, I will not show it."
Rong Jinyu happily stretched out his hand to pass the wine glass, "Thank you Xiao Wang Zheng."
Murong Yi stopped him and said, "I'll drink it for you."
"Hey? What are you doing? Today she has to drink this wine by herself. You are not married yet, so you protect your wife? Is that good?" Ling Zheng took the wine glass and handed it to her, and gave Murong Yi a sideways look, "You should thank me, If I hadn't quit, would you have today?"
Rong Jinyu nodded, the matter between her and Murong Yi, if it wasn't because of him, it would have been very bumpy, how could it have come to this point so easily?
"Come on, toast the young prince. If it wasn't for you, our journey would have been quite difficult." She raised her head and drank it boldly after she finished speaking.
Ling Zheng saw that she was more forthright than a boy, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it down.He looked at Murong Yi, "Where's yours? Drink it quickly."
Murong Yi smiled slightly, it doesn't matter if he is in a good mood today and drinks a couple of glasses.
In this way, several officials came to toast, and Rong Jinyu was worried whether he would be drunk.So he asked quietly: "Drink less, I'm afraid you'll get drunk. What if you talk out everything when you're drunk, what should you do if you get exposed?"
He held her hand tightly and tilted his head slightly, "Don't worry, I won't get drunk for a thousand cups, unless I want to get drunk, I will definitely get drunk."
"So amazing? Don't lie to me?"
He smiled and said: "I'm not going to lie to you, I grew up soaking in wine tanks, and the wine is famous wine, ordinary people can get drunk by smoking, I can't even get drunk even if I drink it."
She breathed out, "Then you can drink as you like, just be happy."
The marriage proposal banquet lasted until noon, Rong Jinyu looked at all the officials lying on the wine table, and twitched the corners of his mouth, even Ling Zheng was drunk.Ling Ling didn't drink the whole time, looked at each other with her, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"This group of scumbags, who can't drink enough, come forward one by one, trying to get the prince drunk to see him embarrassing? Now it's all right, I am the one who is embarrassing. Hahaha!" Ling Ling stood up and looked at them, holding chopsticks Hit the heads of those officials, hit Prime Minister Meng a few more times, stepped on the chair and cursed: "This Prime Minister, no matter in court or in private, is very arrogant, the princess has long been disgusted with him. .”
"His Royal Highness?" Meng Jiyao just went back and found someone to bring her father back. She saw her hitting his head with chopsticks from a long distance, rushed in and snatched the chopsticks from her hand. Asked, "What is the princess doing?"
"Nothing, just to see if the Prime Minister is really drunk, why are you excited?" Ling Ling glared at her, "It's nothing important, are you rebelling?"
"you?"
"What are you doing? You want to hit me? Come and try!" Ling Ling squinted at her fist, looking at her gritted teeth, and said with a sneer, "Since you don't dare to rebel, take your father and leave here."
With a headache, Rong Jinyu turned her head and said to the maids: "Don't you go and pull the princess away? If the princess makes a mistake, you won't be able to pay for it."
Only then did the maids wake up from a dream, and rushed to pull her away.
Rong Jinyu got up and said: "Miss Meng, quickly take the prime minister back to the mansion, let the servants cook some hangover soup..."
"Do you tube!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Meng Jiyao.
She let out a breath and let her go.
Meng Jiyao turned her face sideways, and a few hands lifted Prime Minister Meng out of the yard.She walked a few steps and looked back at them, snorted coldly and strode away from Prince Rong's mansion.
Afterwards, officials were picked up one after another.Ling Ling was in charge of taking Ling Zheng away, Rong Jinyu asked Steward Cao to take Rong Qingyang back to the room, leaving only her, Murong Yi, and Ning Xiang in the main hall.She got up and said, "What should you do, should you go to rest in my attic, or should I take you back?"
He thought for a while and said: "Send me back, it's rare to be happy today, go to my house and I'll cook fish for you."
Ning Xiang opened her eyes wide, "Your Majesty can cook?"
He nodded with a smile, and said with a side face: "I see that you are only interested in drinking and not eating anything. Let's go."
"Ning Xiang also wants to go." Ning Xiang said.
He nodded, "Go back and pack your things first. I don't have anything for women over there. If you need to come back, it will be a bit troublesome."
Ning Xiang looked at them in astonishment, then nodded and smiled: "Good servant girl, go and get it now."
The two stood at the door and waited for a long time. Steward Cao looked at the two of them and asked, "Would you like to rest in the guest room for a while?"
He shook his head and said: "Don't bother, the housekeeper can go to work, don't worry about me."
Steward Cao responded, turned around and saw Ningxiang coming over panting with a bundle, he was puzzled and said: "Miss, this is going to..."
"I saw that Yu'er didn't eat much, so I asked Ning Xiang to bring medicine to my house, cook something for her, and send someone to bring Yu'er back later." He explained.
"In this way, there will be Lao Shizi." He bent down and said.
Steward Cao wanted the groom to take them back, but Murong Yi didn't.He just wanted to be pushed by her and walk all the way back.
On the way, Ningxiang stayed a little far away from them, fearing that she would be too embarrassed to talk to the two of them.Rong Jinyu pushed Murong Yi, looking at the passers-by, chatting affectionately.
Walking to the gate of the county prince's mansion, he turned his face and asked, "Are you tired?"
Rong Jinyu shook his head, "Not tired."
Steward Fu happily came out to welcome him. When he arrived at the bamboo garden, Ningxiang sighed and said, "I didn't take a good look at it last time, but now it seems that the scenery of the bamboo garden is really beautiful. My son, I don't know when I have the opportunity to go to the Wintersweet Garden." What about it? When it’s spring, it’s gone.”
"How many people want to go, but they can only watch from a distance. You just wait for the day when the prince is happy, and maybe he will let you go." Steward Fu smiled lovingly.
Murong Yi stood up and said with a smile: "I am happy today, let Uncle Fu take you to the backyard of the restaurant for a stroll."
Ning Xiang was so ecstatic that she almost jumped up and said happily, "Really?"
She looked at Rong Jinyu with a questioning meaning, and she had to ask for her consent.
Seeing her eagerness and joy, Rong Jinyu waved his hands and said, "Go, go and have a look, then come back, don't waste time."
"As ordered."
Rong Jinyu looked at Steward Fu again, "Uncle Lao Fu is here."
"Where."
Steward Fu took her to the restaurant by a short cut, but before arriving at the restaurant, he heard the people on the street discussing this.Ning Xiang stopped when she heard that Meng Cheng was assassinated, looked at the two young masters, walked over in surprise, and asked, "What are the two young masters discussing? I seem to have heard the young master say that Cheng was assassinated?"
"You came from there, so you don't know." Young Master Mai pointed to the direction she came from, and continued, "I saw with my own eyes that those three people besieged Ms. Meng, and it is said that today is a good day for Mr. Yi to go to Rong Wang's residence , King Rong entertained the officials who came to congratulate him with good food and wine, including Prime Minister Meng."
"There is indeed Prime Minister Meng. There are such things as assassination in such a clear sky and broad daylight, but who did that young master hear?" asked Steward Fu.
The man seemed to recognize Steward Fu, pointing and saying, "Are you the steward of the county prince's mansion?"
Forbe nodded.
"I just heard what Ms. Meng said, the princess wants to seek revenge or something..."
"My son, don't talk nonsense. Although Princess Ling is naughty, she will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Besides, Prime Minister Meng has not offended the princess. Even if he did, wouldn't there be the emperor? The princess would not be so stupid." Butler Fu frowned, and he looked at Ningxiang, "Little girl, this winter plum probably won't be seen."
Ning Xiang nodded, frowned and said: "There must be someone secretly playing tricks on this matter. Uncle Fu, let's go back and tell the son and miss about it?"
"it is good."
The two hurried back.
In Zhuyuan, Murong Yi just sprinkled salt on the fish and put it aside to marinate, when he came out, he saw Ning Xiang and Fu Bo came back quickly, with anxious faces.
Rong Jinyu was in the room, and he heard him say in surprise: "You've seen Lamei so soon?"
"Huh? Ningxiang is back?" Rong Jinyu came out and saw the two of them entering the room anxiously.
"Did something happen? Why are you two sweating profusely?" she asked.
"Miss something is wrong." Ning Xiang was a little impatient, he looked at Uncle Fu.
"It's like this..." Forber told them the matter
Murong Yi frowned, and turned his head to look at Rong Jinyu, "It seems that the fish will not be eaten today, no matter whether it is the princess's hands or not, the County Prince's Mansion and Prince Rong's Mansion will not be able to think about peace today."
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, someone from the harem saw that Rong Jinyu was there, so they had no choice but to inform them.They didn't delay for a moment, Fu Bo personally drove them to the gate of the palace in a carriage, and waited with Ning Xiang.
When Rong Jinyu and Murong Yi arrived at the Golden Luan Hall, all the sober and delirious officials were in the hall.The emperor of Nanliang sullenly stared at the unconscious drunkards on the ground. The imperial doctor had concluded that he was drunk two hours ago, and he drank hangover soup, but there was no sign of waking up.
Ling Zheng explained: "Uncle Huang, the wine was brought over by my nephew. You know that Mr. Xiaoyao's wine is always strong, and those who are not strong enough to drink can get drunk after just a sip, so they... Uncle Huang should send someone to give them a bed, if they get sick, there will be no one in the morning."
"You still have the nerve to say it?" Emperor Nanliang glared at him angrily.
Miss Meng kept crying, Ling Ling innocently knelt aside and lowered her head.
Rong Jinyu stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the prime minister?"
"The imperial doctor is still treating you." Nanliang Emperor sighed and shouted, "Ling'er, is what Miss Meng said just now true?"
Rong Jinyu and Murong Yi came late and did not hear what Meng Jiyao said.Her gaze fell on Ling Ling, and she said clearly, "It's true. However, it was Prime Minister Meng who spoke disrespectfully first, and he looked down on Yi Shizi, so Erchen beat him with chopsticks when he was drunk. Twice. But this does not mean that it was Erchen who assassinated him."
"Princess, I heard the other party say your name with my own ears. I don't have enough heads to chop off the princess." She took out a jade pendant from her pocket, "This is the princess's personal jade pendant, right? This or that name?" The one that the assassin left behind, do you dare to say it wasn't yours?"
Rong Jinyu roughly understood that the opponent was alone or two or three, not a group, there was a female killer, and she would leave as soon as she got her hands.
But seeing that Meng Jiyao was not injured, it must be that her martial arts are superior to that person.
I don't know who has higher martial arts, Meng Jiyao or Ling Ling.
"Your majesty, can you let me say something?"
Everyone looked at her one after another, and Emperor Nanliang stretched out his hand and said, "Please tell me."
She turned her head to look at Lingling, "Where did the princess go after taking the little prince back? Can someone prove it?"
"The maidservant can prove it for me."
"Princess, that's your maid, she's one of my own, how can she come out to testify? It's really unconvincing, isn't it?" Meng Jiyao said.
Ling Ling stared at her, gritted his teeth and said, "I did what I did, but I didn't do anything. Even if my head was beheaded, I would not admit my mistake."
"Princess, don't worry." Rong Jinyu looked at Meng Jiyao, "Miss Meng said she saw the princess assassinated with her own eyes. Was the princess injured at the time? Where was the injury? How many people came? Miss Meng was able to snatch the jade pendant, which means that People's martial arts are not as good as yours, right?"
Meng Jiyao didn't understand what she meant, she frowned slightly and said: "I fought against that person, and that person's martial arts were indeed not as good as mine. At that time, I only wanted to capture her alive and didn't hurt her. The jade pendant was dropped when she was running away. I didn't snatch it. It is only after seeing the jade pendant that I can be sure that it was done by the princess."
"You're talking nonsense!" Ling Ling was annoyed.
Emperor Nanliang understood Rong Jinyu's meaning, and immediately said: "Ling'er, don't interrupt, let Miss Jinyu finish."
"Since that man's martial arts is not as good as yours, then you are competing with the princess. If the princess wins you, it seems that this matter is a misunderstanding." She said.
Meng Jiyao twitched the corners of her mouth and snorted coldly: "Compete with the princess? The princess is a body of a thousand pieces of gold. If you are injured and disabled, can you guarantee that the prime minister's mansion will not be harmed?"
Rong Jinyu looked at Emperor Nan Liang, his eyes were calm, and he squinted at Ling Ling on the ground, "Murder pays for life. Ms. Meng, I promise everything, and I will never take sides with anyone."
Ling Ling sneered, got up and said: "My princess will compete with you, and if you insist that the martial arts of that person is inferior to yours, it means that this princess's martial arts is not as good as yours. I want you to take a good look today. This princess is not a showman!"
The matter has come to this point and can only be resolved by force.Outside the Golden Temple, the two stood facing each other, hating each other.Ling Zheng sweated, and looked sideways at Rong Jinyu, "Miss Meng's martial arts are not weak, Ling'er must suffer."
She immediately became worried, and she felt that Ling Ling had the upper hand just by looking at her momentum.She bent down and asked, "Is there any way?"
Murong Yi squinted at her, "You made a wrong step. The princess's martial arts are not as good as hers!"
She asked nervously, "I'm asking if you can turn things around."
"Look, maybe she can turn it around on her own."
Said and not said the same!
She sighed and stared blankly at the two people. Eunuch Park called out "Start". The swords in their hands seemed to have lost their eyes, and they stabbed at random, which made everyone feel terrified.
Emperor Nanliang was very concerned. He knew how much his daughter was worth. He believed that she was wronged, but with all the evidence in front of him, he couldn't help even if he wanted to help.If she could learn a lot from a pitfall, he would have less to worry about.
"Small……"
He wanted to say be careful, and he got off the chair, but he could only swallow the words and pretended to watch calmly.
It was only then that Rong Jinyu discovered that Ling Ling's martial arts were not weak. At first, she didn't have the advantage. Later, after getting familiar with Meng Jiyao's moves, she cracked them bit by bit. Finally, pointing the sword at her neck, she raised her chin and said, "That person's martial arts are not as good as yours, but You lost to me again, do you think this princess killed anyone?"
Ling Ling was completely angry, "My princess has always had a clear distinction between love and hate, but she hates being slandered the most. Can you conclude that it is me just by a jade pendant? You are so bold! I don't know when the jade pendant was lost, but this princess The princess knows that when you took away Prime Minister Meng, you were very close to this princess, and it is very likely that you were the thief shouting "Stop the thief!"
When she pointed her sword at Meng Jiyao, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Especially Nanliang Emperor, who really held his heart, without blinking his eyes.Murong Yi was ready to leave at any time, just in case something happened, he didn't expect her to win, he really underestimated her.
Ling Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and looked at Yan and then at Meng Jiyao.
"I do not have!"
She knelt down anxiously, and faced Emperor Nanliang, "I ask the emperor to be the master for my daughter. My daughter did not steal the jade pendant from the princess. This jade pendant was indeed left by that person. My majesty, please investigate clearly and return justice to the prime minister's residence."
Ling Ling followed and knelt down, "I am wronged by others, and I feel very aggrieved. I implore Father to be the master for my son!"
Emperor Nanliang stared, and if he won by luck, what would happen?
"Even if it's not you, this matter has nothing to do with you." Emperor Nanliang sighed, and looked at Rong Qingyang, "Today is a happy event in your family, and there are many people around, right? Is there a registration for those who come and go? Yes Someone from the outside world sneaked into the mansion?"
Rong Qingyang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "There are no strangers, they are all family members brought by the ministers, but most of them are still acquainted, other than that, there are no other people in the house."
Murong Yi, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Has the princess collided with anyone before?"
Ling Lingsi thought: "I bumped into someone when I was eating. She was a maid at the time. She was about the same height as me, and her body shape was similar, but I didn't take a good look at her face."
"In Prince Rong's Mansion?" Rong Jinyu asked.
She nodded, and then said: "It was there at the time, but it is definitely not anymore now, even if you go to Rongwang's mansion, you can't find it."
Rong Jinyu frowned and said: "Since she is the maidservant of the palace, before employing her, Steward Cao will definitely ask where she came from."
"Yes, as long as you go back to the house and ask the housekeeper, you can basically know who it is." Rong Qing said.
Emperor Nanliang nodded, pointed at him and said, "Leave this matter to Rong Aiqing, arrest the murderer as soon as possible, so that I can give the prime minister an explanation."
Rong Qingyang bent down and said: "I will do my best to share the emperor's worries."
