The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 401: My son’s opinion is not important

I have to say that Du Yunrong was extremely envious.

Who doesn’t want to live as freely and freely as Du Wan?



Uninterested in staying any longer, Du Yunrong stood up gently, "...it's almost time. I should leave the palace, and I have to rush home for dinner."

The girls then stood up and said goodbye to Qin Yuyu politely.

Qin Yuyu watched Du Yunrong leave with the girl at home, with evil hidden in his eyes. Now she and Du Yunrong are just maintaining a face-saving relationship. She knows that Du Yunrong has always looked down on her because she grew up outside...

Qin Yuyu sat in his original position for a long time as if he was numb.

 After a long time, the queen received the report from the palace servants, and came over to see it uneasily, "Yuyu, what's the matter? Is someone bullying you?"

"Mother, no one bullies me. It's just..." Qin Yuyu lowered her head in depression, her big bright eyes filled with water mist, and tears couldn't fall from her eyes, "Does Cousin Yun Rong not like me? It's all my fault, not good enough..."

“Who said that my daughter is the best girl in the world?”

The queen was heartbroken to see her like this, and she couldn't help but be very dissatisfied with Du Yunrong in her heart.

 So, Qin Yuyu once again succeeded in applying eye drops to Du Yunrong in front of the queen.

 The Queen used to like Du Yunrong very much, but no matter how deep her feelings were, she could not compare with her daughter. Ever since Qin Yuyu came back, it was strange that the relationship between the aunt and nephew could still be the same as before.

Compared to the situation in the palace, Pei Hao in the suburbs of the Pei Family Village became much calmer after hearing this. He looked like he should be like this for granted, which made Mu Si'an, who was sitting in the room, feel his teeth ache.

"The little princess is getting more and more prosperous these days." Mu Si'an sat aside, crossed his legs, and was chewing a piece of fruit. "You dared to point at those old men and scold them. The scolding was quite pleasant. ."

Pei Hao smiled and said, "How many days will it take for the army to arrive in Beijing?"

 “Just two or three days.”

 “Then you’d better hide and don’t be seen.”

"I understand, I decided to stay here and not go anywhere." Mu Si'an was convinced that he would come back a few days early, as long as he was not discovered, "Let me tell you, I passed by the disaster area this time. I saw Xie Qi from a distance. That guy was very hard-working, and he really went out to comfort the victims personally."

“Is it stable?” Pei Hao asked about the disaster area.

　Mu Si'an nodded, "There is no denying that Xie Qi is a capable person."

He told what he had seen and heard as he passed by. Xie Zhang had handled the disaster relief work in an orderly manner and had an excellent reputation among the victims. The reputation of the Dingbei Hou Mansion had also become louder.

Mu Si'an added: "He will probably return to Beijing."

 “Oh.” Pei Hao didn’t know what he was thinking.

Mu Si'an stopped talking about Xie Qi and asked instead, "I heard that my uncle is coming to the capital to take up the post of Minister of Rites?"

 “Well, it was my father who helped set up the line.”

"Why are you going to the Ministry of Rites? This is the famous Qingshui Yamen. It doesn't mean there are many vacancies."

“My uncle asked for it by name because he wanted to have some leisure time.”

 “What’s the reason?” Mu Si’an didn’t understand.

Pei Hao chuckled softly, "The emperor's style has changed suddenly and he has become much tougher. My uncle is a smart man and knows that the situation in Beijing is complicated, so he first looks for an opportunity to be transferred back to Beijing and find a quiet yamen to watch the changes."

 The emperor's killings over the past year have frightened the officials.

But it cannot be denied that due to the emperor's killings, the court was cleaner than before.

 Almost at the same time.

 In the princess's mansion.

Du Wan was facing the two parents.

 It has nothing to do with the court affairs. They are discussing with Du Wan about her and Pei Hao. The eldest princess said with a smile: "It's not unacceptable to not live with Mrs. Pei when we get married. By the way, where is my Princess Wanwan's mansion?"

Du Prince Consort was silent, the emperor had not given it yet.

Du Wan was surprised, "I still have the princess's mansion."

"Why not? Your eldest brother will also have a county palace." The eldest princess felt complicated.

Du Wan was speechless, "What's going on? Do I still need to pay my princess benefits in installments?"

"…"It really is!

The eldest princess didn’t know what to say this time.

On the other hand, Prince Consort Du took over the conversation with a smile, "I have time to remind your uncle the emperor. In the past, there was no money in the treasury... When it comes to money issues, there will inevitably be omissions."

 Successfully passed the blame to the emperor, and the couple was happy.

Du Wan finally understood. The subtext was that the emperor had no money before and was unable to give it to him.

 In fact, the conversation between the three of them today mainly revolved around the marriage.

While Du Wan and Pei Hao were leaving the capital, the Duke of Zhen went to grind Du's consort every day. Prince Consort Du initially refused to let go, but Duke Zhen Guo made a condition sincerely. It was the Duke of the Town who promised that the two juniors could move to the Princess's Mansion after they got married, as long as they returned to the Duke's Mansion during the holidays.

Hearing this condition, Prince Consort Du was moved.

　　It was because of Mrs. Pei that he broke off the engagement in the first place, and he was worried that his daughter would be at a disadvantage if she married him. If we no longer live together, the problem will be solved.

However, Prince Consort Du did not agree on the spot. He went back to the mansion to discuss the matter with the eldest princess, and happened to meet Du Wan there again.

Hand-in-law Du and the eldest princess thought about it and thought this marriage was okay. However, at this time, the couple ignored their only son because they knew that his son's opinion was not important.

Du Wan didn’t say much this time and agreed directly.

So Prince Consort Du asked someone to pass a message to the Duke of Zhen, asking him to meet him tomorrow.

 Unexpectedly, the Duke of Zhen came to look for Du's consort that night, for fear that he would regret it when he woke up. However, Prince Consort Du was also ruthless and asked the Duke of Zhen to write down the terms of the promise, then sign his name and stamp his private seal.

When the writing was dry, Prince Consort Du carefully folded the paper and put it away.

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said, "Don't be so cautious."

“What do you know? My daughter has said that verbal promises are unreliable and cannot be as practical as words in black and white.”

“It’s okay, if it’s damaged, you can ask me to write another one.”

“…” Prince Consort Du paused in collecting the things.

 Can this still be done? Then didn't his cautious look just now make this guy laugh?

Du Prince Consort did not want to see the scoundrel Zhen Guo Gong, who looked like a decent gentleman. During this period, in order to get him to agree to the marriage, he tried every means to block him, making it impossible for him to avoid it. Finally I know who that boy Pei Hao looks like, it's this guy.

After finally finishing the matter, the Duke of Zhen stood up and said goodbye, "My dear, I won't disturb your rest."

 “Let’s go, let’s go.” Prince Consort Du didn’t even want to maintain politeness.

However, when the Duke of Zhen left, he still called the butler to see off the guests.

 The Duke of Zhen got on the carriage.

 He turned around and told the coachman: "Don't go back to the house, get out of the city."

 “Yes, the Duke of the country.” The driver drove out of the city.

The city gate was closed at night, but with his status as the Zhen Guogong, the gatekeeper successfully opened the city gate.

 After the carriage left the city, it went straight to Zhuangzi where Pei Hao was resting.
