Chapter 1056: The wall fell and everyone pushed it
Jiayin sighed, and the hair on the third princess' forehead exploded, "Silly girl, you think too much! Let's not talk about what happened back then, after all, no one saw it with their own eyes.
"It's just that now, under the governance of Uncle Huang, Tianwu is in good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and even Jiangbei is about to be recovered. The world is at home, and Uncle Huang's prestige is boundless. It is no longer the time when he was controlled by the Queen Mother not long after he ascended the throne.
“And most importantly, why don’t you think about it, how long has it been since the Queen Mother asked us to pay her respects?”
The third princess blinked several times, suddenly jumped up, and shouted in surprise.
“Yes, yes, she hasn’t caused trouble with us for a long time? Has she been controlled by the father?”
Good news can't pick up the topic, so I just need to mention a few words.
She stretched and said, "What's for dinner? Even though it's hot, I still want to stew braised pork with salt and pepper prawns and sweet and sour short ribs. The cold dish is spinach with nuts and a peacock in full bloom, okay?" "
“Okay, okay!” The third princess nodded happily, “As long as what you cook is delicious!”
She lost her worries and her appetite returned. She kept urging Jiayin to cook, and even begged, "Jiayin, can you help me make some soup?"
"No!" Jiayin refused decisively, "If you want to give it away, just do it yourself. My help is nothing! What if outsiders find out and think I covet your Brother Lu! I will not be wronged!
“My future husband must be an unparalleled hero. He must step on colorful auspicious clouds and wear golden armor to marry me!”
Good news expresses one's feelings in the guise of a joke.
It’s a pity that the third princess didn’t understand it at all. She ruffled her hair and laughed until her stomach hurt.
“Young girl, you want to get married so early! Are you talking about golden armor and colorful auspicious clouds? Don’t think I don’t know, this is the monkey in the story you told me! If you dare to marry a monkey, your whole family will go crazy!”
Jiayin rolled her eyes and gave up completely.
For someone like the Third Princess who is as thick as a road, just tell her directly from now on, don’t take it for granted.
A pure waste of emotion!
The two little sisters went to the kitchen laughing and joking. When dusk fell, dinner was ready and the food box with soup was sent to Lu's house.
Of course, Shuiyun still made the soup, and the third princess moved her mouth, but the good news was not mixed with a finger...
After eating and drinking, we played cards for a while, and checked the door as usual. If there were no problems, everyone rested.
Jiayin half-opened the window again, holding her chin, looking at Mu Jue across the table, eating big mouthfuls of white rice and braised pork.
The red gauze meat was cut into mahjong-sized pieces and stewed until soft. The moment you pick up a piece, the meat trembles and drips with fat, which really makes you want to swallow it.
Mu Jue was satisfied with his meal, but he had not forgotten the good news and gossip.
“I went to the Lu family to see for myself. Prince Lu is really treacherous and pretends to be impeccable. I really can’t tell whether his injuries are real or fake! When I have free time in the future, I must...”
Halfway through speaking, he raised his head and met Jiayin's slightly narrowed eyes. He suddenly woke up and explained with an awkward smile, "I was just curious for a moment, curious! And I have done all the business, so I'm just on my way to Lu's house!"
Jiayin snorted and suddenly remembered what the third princess said.
Whether she can marry a hero in the future is not certain.
But...monkey, I'm afraid it's really possible!
Mu Jue didn’t know yet that his romantic and bohemian soul had been labeled as a funny monkey.
At this moment, he finally got down to business, "My uncle said that he will take sick leave tomorrow and will be staying at the Earl's Mansion, and the Liu family is not prepared to get involved.
"Only Mr. Wen was very interested. He said that the court cannot be without the eyes of the family, and he would follow it from beginning to end."
Jiayin nodded. The second uncle was a sinecure, and no one said anything when he was sick.
In the Liu family, Mrs. Liu has been "sick" for a long time. Everyone knows whether he is critically ill.
Liu Zhiheng is a filial son, and he should wait at his bedside.
Only Mr. Wen, the censor, known as the mouthpiece of the court, will definitely not be able to escape in such a busy time... This arrangement is the best.
The good news is relieved, and the family also feels it is appropriate.
But plans never change quickly, or the tree wants to be still but the wind keeps coming.
At the small court meeting one day later, it was revealed that another person was still instructed by the Queen Mother and what evil deeds he had done was clearly listed.
But the difference is that seven or eight officials came out to criticize the Queen Mother in an impassioned and slobbery manner, begging the Emperor to put aside the feelings between mother and son and to uphold the order of the dynasty!
These are smart people, or people who think the situation at hand is profitable.
From the meeting the day before yesterday to now, if the Queen Mother wanted to fight back, she would have taken action long ago.
The reason why she is so quiet is that the Queen Mother has been stripped of her claws and has even been controlled.
When the wall falls and everyone pushes against it, the first one to rush forward may be in some danger, but the benefits are also the greatest!
The emperor still shook his head and excused himself for the Queen Mother, refusing to conduct a thorough investigation.
For a while, the situation became anxious again.
Some people who are not willing to risk taking sides, or who are not clean and are afraid of being implicated, can't help but engage in saucy operations...
Because Li Laoer claimed to be ill, the door to the Earl's Mansion was tightly closed. Unless it was an emergency, the side door would not be opened.
But on this day, at three o'clock in the morning, someone came to visit in a carriage.
The boy guarding the door heard the door being knocked, so he opened a small window on the door and asked loudly, "Who's knocking on the door? Is there anything wrong?"
There was a woman standing outside the door. She smiled and stuffed a purse through the small window, and whispered, "Excuse me, brother, please tell your young lady that my wife is visiting."
As she spoke, she handed over another name card.
The boy didn't know what happened to the visitor and didn't dare to stop him, so he responded and ran to report the news.
Wan'er has been locked up in the backyard recently and has nothing to do. Apart from taking care of the children, she is doing needlework to pass the time.
The weather is getting hot, let me sew some summer dresses for my sister-in-law.
My son is naughty and needs to change into several sets of clothes a day.
The family’s caravan was about to set off again, and she wanted to get some robes for her husband who was far away in the southwest.
Even in Quanzhou, she also wanted to show her filial piety.
Even though my aunt and brothers and sisters are all there, grandma will definitely have enough clothes and shoes.
But what belongs to others is what belongs to others, and what is hers is hers.
At this moment, the maids and women had nothing to do, so they all got together to help pick fabrics and embroidery threads.
There are three women in a play. If there are too many women, gossip will naturally be the inseparable main theme.
It was just as lively as it was when a post suddenly came in, and Wan'er was still very confused.
When I opened it, I found that the owner of the post was a lady named Feng.
Wan'er had met her twice before at the Jia family's banquet, and she had the impression that he was a eloquent person.
It seems that she is the daughter-in-law of a nephew of Mrs. Jia’s family.
If you are socializing outside on weekdays, just exchange a few pleasantries when you meet.
In this current situation, Mrs. Feng, who is not too familiar with it, comes to visit. What is going on?
Wan'er frowned...
Two updates today~~
