First Prince of Ming Dynasty

In the mansion of the Duke of Wei in the capital city, Mrs. Cao, the wife of the Duke of Wei, who just came back from the palace to pay respects to the queen, looked at the maid who was following behind her and asked, "Did you see His Royal Highness King Jin? Do you have anything to say to Miss?" .”

The decree of marriage has been made, and the big wedding is not far away. It is not out of the ordinary for the two of them to have a little contact at this time, so Mrs. Cao deliberately brought her daughter's personal maid into the palace.

The maid said in a low voice with some grievances: "Returning to Madam, I saw it, but His Highness didn't seem to care too much, so he dismissed the servant with a few words, and he didn't have anything to say to Miss."

Mrs. Cao frowned, feeling a little angry in her heart. This marriage was not what their family rushed to ask for. It can even be said that because of this marriage, not only did they have to pay for their daughter, but also their husband's military power. , Steady loss and no profit.

Both emotionally and rationally, King Jin should behave better now, not the heir apparent, and even heard that the Holy Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince are never close, not as good as the next few younger brothers. It is not certain what the future will be like.

Mrs. Cao was a little bit bitter, she couldn't bear the decency she received in Kunning Palace just now, the Empress knew that it was the Deng family who had been wronged, so she comforted her a lot, but the King Jin didn't know what happened, so how could she not be annoyed.

"Don't talk to Miss like that, just tell her His Royal Highness King Jin misses you very much."

"promise."

I am frail and sick and have no children. I only have such a daughter. She is loved by thousands of people and has always been spoiled in the mansion. Even Deng Zhen, the future successor of the Duke's mansion, has to let it go.

If she finds out about this, it's not certain what will happen. If it's an ordinary marriage, it's fine, but no one can change this kind of sage's appointment. In the end, she should marry or have to marry.

What's more, it's up to him to defend his shortcomings, and it's his own business to say that he demoted his son. Others can't say anything, especially in such a sensitive period.

The maid adjusted her condition and went to the backyard. When she reached the lady's boudoir, she raised her smiling face and entered beamingly. But after entering, she found that the lady was sitting on a chair, and the maidservants who were serving together were all shivering like quails.

Miss Deng would pretend to be a lady outside, but she would not wrong herself at home, so she asked coldly, "What does King Jin say?"

The smile on the maid's face was immediately blown away by the rain and the wind, and she could only whisper: "Your Highness misses Miss very much, and asked about the recent food and clothing..."

Before she finished speaking, Deng Zhilan sneered: "What a lowly servant girl, even you dare to lie to me, come here, clap your mouth!"

"I don't dare, it's... Madam ordered..."

"Even what my mother ordered, I can't tolerate you, hit me!"

Soon there were loud applause and sobs and begging, and Deng Zhilan couldn't understand her hatred: "The marriage is all set, and I really don't have anyone in the palace. Don't talk about what he said to you today. Miss Ben knows exactly whose bed she sleeps in."

How is Zhu Xi, there are many palace servants in his bedroom, some dare not get close to King Jin, so they naturally set their minds on the future princess, and Deng Zhilan often goes to the palace with her mother to see her The empress and princess, along the way, also recognized a few clever ones.

She couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said: "I'm already useless, but I still don't make progress. The majestic prince and prince almost died in the belly of a woman. How dare I commit myself to such a person?"

"It's a shame that I laughed at Li Yan's short-sightedness before. Why should I be a concubine with such a prominent family like me? Now, it seems that it's better to go with her to the East Palace to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. Although they are not husband and wife, at least the person next to him is An unrivaled king who obeys the heavens and is good at fighting."

Hearing this, everyone trembled in fright, and didn't bother to continue clapping their hands: "Miss, you are wronged in your heart, and the slaves and servants know that it is fine to vent your anger, but you must never say this, it will cause big trouble if it is spread out. "

It's fine to belittle the fiancée and son-in-law, but Xiao Xiang's brother-in-law before he got married, this is a scandal among scandals, and it's nothing more than the government and the opposition. I'm afraid the emperor will be furious.

Deng Zhilan said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, just listen to me, you dare to spread the word, hmph, my father is the founding father of the country, what happened, no matter how bad this lady is, she was forced to become a monk to be an aunt, but you It's a dead end."

"Slaves don't dare to talk too much, but I beg the young lady to think twice."

……………

"My lord should ask a few more questions. After all, she is your first wife, and the wedding date is just around the corner."

Mrs. Hu snuggled into King Jin's arms, and Qianqian lingered on the man's chest with her fine fingers. Zhu Xi pinched her delicate face indifferently: "It's fine if she comes in person, what does the king say for a mere maid?" , being able to spare some time to see him is enough to give Duke Wei's family face."

Sitting up straight, Mrs. Hu advised, "My lord is honorable, but there is no need for a husband and wife to distinguish between superiors and inferiors. What's more, the meritorious Duke of the State of Wei holds the military power. Is it your arm that you can rely on, or send something to talk about it?" Make up your mind."

Zhu Xi was a little depressed and said: "It's not for you, you don't know good people."

"Slaves know it, but the more they know, the more they need to be warned. How can we lose the big because of the small, which is not conducive to the long-term plan of the master in the future."

Zhu Xi looked at her with a strange expression, as if there was something stirring in his chest and abdomen, it was not that no one had warned him, but there was mostly disdain in it, as if he did it out of pity.

He felt that it was the first time in his life that someone thought of him so wholeheartedly, especially at the premise of losing his own interests, which was even more precious.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, but don't worry, I won't wrong you no matter what."

Only then did Mrs. Hu show her face and smile, and swim into Zhu Xi's arms as soft as boneless, and several court ladies outside the door signaled to each other with their eyes that His Royal Highness Jin's wedding is not far away. How long can Hu Meizi be proud of herself? .

…………

At this time, a group of Qingqi galloped towards the gate of the capital city, and a group of people waiting at the gate of the city laughed and responded, while the faces of the people who came and went were indifferent, and there was no panic at all.

This is the confidence of the people in the capital. The emperor has never seen anything under his feet, and someone who is well-informed can guess from a long distance that this is the Duke of Wei who has returned to the capital. them.

No need for anyone to ask, he just talked about Wei Guogong's deeds in the past, such as conquering Poyang Lake, flattening Tubo and conquering Gansu. He looked triumphant as if he followed him all the way.

Runan Hou Mei Sizu led the crowd to hold the reins and said, "Bo Yan, I hope you are back."

Wei Guogong Deng Yu jumped off his horse and embraced Mei Sizu, and asked the guards behind him to lead the horse: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I even miss him. I must come to the mansion tonight so that I won't get drunk or return!"

Gong Changhou Guo Xing said with a smile: "That depends on whether the superior will let you go today. This is going to be a relative of the emperor. Maybe the Holy Majesty will have a drink with you tonight."

"Besides, Chang Shuai also said that there are some things in Jingying that he can't get away from, so it's inconvenient to come to welcome you. If you drink outside the palace, you have to go to his house, otherwise he will go over the table."

Deng Yu said with a smile: "Well, you can drink anywhere. I don't dare to drink when I'm outside, but I don't have any taboos when I return to Beijing. I drink from house to house. Don't hide when the time comes."

"Hahaha, now that alcohol is banned, I know you are coming back, and I have already prepared dozens of jars of fine wine, so I am afraid that you will not come."

Everyone was chatting and laughing enthusiastically, they all crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood together, there are still a few who have enmity, most of the friendship is acceptable, especially in many cases they are a community of interests.

Mei Sizu looked at the dusty Deng Yu and said: "Why don't you go back to the mansion to wash the dust and change your clothes before going to face the saint. You have traveled such a long distance in a few days, the superior will understand."

Deng Yu casually patted the dust on his sleeves, and the few people around him immediately avoided him pretending to be disgusted, but Deng Yu didn't care too much: "Let's just go, the superior will reward you more after seeing it." Some silk royal wine or something like that, I was in a hurry when I came back, but I still hoped to get some things from the superior to see my wife."

"Gao Ming, as expected of you."
