Chapter 401 Willow Ye’s Troubles
These words may sound like nothing wrong, but when you think about it carefully, it is very problematic. First of all, a tribe took the initiative to propose a marriage in order to survive, and even used an unknown princess to marry them. Is it a marriage or a provocation?
Secondly, they knew that the emperor of Qi was looking for the Xuanwu Ding all over the world. They had the Xuanwu Ding in their hands, but they did not exchange it for the greatest benefit. Instead, they chose to use the thing as a dowry for the princess. People who did not know the truth thought that the princess was in Wuya. She is favored by many tribesmen, but she is clearly an abandoned daughter sought out by the people.
Jiang Ning paused and asked, "Did the Wuya tribe say what they wanted?"
Liu Ye hesitated and said: "My daughter-in-law heard from several court ministers that the thing the Wuya tribe wants is in the Dragon King Temple."
“Bang!” Jiang Ning accidentally knocked over the cup in his hand, “What a coincidence?”
Liu Ye looked solemn, "It was such a coincidence, so my daughter-in-law has been uneasy after knowing the news. The Dragon King Temple did not publicize it, and only the ministers and some people in Quzhou Prefecture knew about it. The Wuya tribe is far away from the customs. It’s such an inconspicuous little tribe, how could it throw out the bait so accurately at this time in exchange for the things under the Dragon King’s Temple?”
Jiang Ning looked at Liu Ye who was puzzled and smiled approvingly, "That's right! You are becoming more and more like a matron of the house now. Have you ever told Datou about these issues?"
Liu Ye pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and said modestly: "My daughter-in-law is stupid. She doesn't understand many things. Whenever she can't figure it out, she will discuss it with Datou, but Datou can't explain this matter. It's the end of the year, Baiwei Lou was so busy that the emperor even sent Eunuch Dekang to visit and asked him to cook some dishes for the palace banquet.
His thoughts are now focused on cooking, and occasionally he visits the village and the shop, for fear that the people below will be neglected or enrich their own pockets.
Every day I go out before dawn and work until dark before coming back. My daughter-in-law sees how hard it is for him and can’t bear to bother him with these things, but I can’t figure it out myself.
Fortunately, Aniang came over, and my daughter-in-law felt a little more relaxed after telling her these things. "
Hearing Liu Ye's words, Jiang Ning's heart was filled with ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past. Liu Ye felt relieved, and now all the pressure was transferred to her!
Before Jiang Ning could finish complaining, Liu Ye continued: "One more thing. That day, Prince Xiaoyao came to the house to have a drink with Da Tou. His daughter-in-law was waiting beside him. The prince talked about Princess Wuya as if the princess had been walking around like a beggar since she was a child. Begging for food, living conditions outside the customs are extremely poor. The beggars there are different from us here, and it is almost difficult to survive.
But that day when the princess came to Beijing, she passed by the Baiwei Tower. The carriage she was riding in was only covered by a few thin gauze curtains. When the daughter-in-law looked down from the Baiwei Tower, she could clearly see the princess's forehead, neck and hands. How should I describe it? , that kind of skin can only be cultivated by being pampered since childhood, and the princess's eyes always give people a feeling of déjà vu. Unfortunately, she is wearing a veil, and her daughter-in-law cannot see her face. "
Jiang Ning felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, "Stop it, stop it. Stop talking! I'm so scared! Just tell me, is the princess planning to accept it himself or what?"
"That's not true!" Liu Ye straightened her spine and sat upright, "What the Wuya tribe means is that they worship the God of War and hope to marry the princess to King Ding."
Jiang Ning frowned directly, "I have heard that Prince Ding and Princess Ding have a very good relationship, and Princess Ding has just given birth to a son for Prince Ding, so how can she be willing to marry the princess?"
In the early years, Princess Ding gave birth to a daughter for King Ding. Due to the difficult delivery and severe physical damage, it was difficult to conceive an heir. At that time, King Ding had been fighting in the northwest. The couple got together less and separated more, so no one took this matter seriously. Discuss and decide on the princess.
However, the situation changed when Prince Ding returned to Beijing and was crowned king. Princess Ding urgently needed a son to consolidate her status. The couple privately sought out numerous doctors. In the end, Yang Xiaohua took action and helped Princess Ding for five months before helping her. Successfully conceived and gave birth to a son. With this child, the emperor's original intention of marrying a concubine to King Ding faded away and he never mentioned it again. King Ding even went to the palace early to request an order to make his son the crown prince.
"No! This brings up another problem. If the Wuya tribe wants to make peace, they will definitely inquire about the situation of the Qi royal family and make such a difficult request, but they are not sincere at all!" Liu Ye looked meaningful.
The imperial edict was issued by the emperor. The crown prince's position cannot be changed. Naturally, the crown prince's mother must be the princess. It is impossible for the emperor to abolish the princess and crown prince for the sake of Princess Wuya, and he cannot make Princess Wuya his concubine. Things are not good. manage.
Before Jiang Ning could figure it out, Liu Ye dropped another bombshell, "People from the Wuya tribe live in the inn. They ordered food from various restaurants and restaurants in the capital, but said that the food at Baiweilou was extremely unpalatable. They came to find fault and said We had a false reputation, and it cost us five thousand taels to fix the restaurant.”
That day, she was helping in the kitchen of Baiweilou, when several fierce-looking foreign men suddenly entered the restaurant. They smashed the food boxes on the ground without saying a word.
Lan Suiwendong pointed at the waiter’s nose in front of all the diners in the restaurant and sneered, “This kind of pig food is even delivered to our princess to stain our princess’s eyes. You deserve to be damned!”
Lan Sui Wenhan said with a stern face: "Your food is not even as good as the wontons on the street. I don't know if these diners are invited by you! The princess is furious. If Baiweilou doesn't give us an explanation, don't blame us for not being able to do it today." Hello, here comes!"
The people of the Wuya tribe all drew their swords, and the waiter and some diners in the restaurant were affected. Fortunately, the city guard arrived in time and headed towards the Baiwei Tower to suppress the incident.
However, their restaurant lost five thousand taels because of this.
Jiang Ning's good mood disappeared in an instant, and he was so angry that he shouted, "That's unreasonable! That's too much! Is this going to end with us losing five thousand taels?"
Liu Ye bit her lips and nodded, unwilling to do so, "The Emperor has not yet obtained the Xuanwu Cauldron, and he does not want to offend the Wuya tribe. Datou said that it would be best to spend money to solve the problem, and spend money to eliminate the disaster. No matter how unhappy the daughter-in-law is, she can only admit it." .
Fortunately, the reputation of Baiwei Restaurant has been established, and there are many people who like spicy food, so the restaurant business has not been affected. "
Jiang Ning let out a long sigh, "This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes, but what's the problem with them and why are they targeting us alone?"
Guang'en Houfu is a new upstart in the capital, and Baiwei Building has been open for only a few years. Except for the initial quarrel with the Dong family and the Bai family's Anguo government, they have not had any bad relations with anyone else. Moreover, both Yang Datou and Liu Ye pursue the principle of peace. Gui will never take the initiative to cause trouble.
Liu Ye shook her head in confusion, "Aniang, this is something that my daughter-in-law can't figure out."
At this moment, Jiang Ning finally understood why Liu Ye was so anxious. Anyone who had to deal with so many things and couldn't figure it out had to be anxious. What's more, their family had to deal with powerful people, so there couldn't be any mistakes.
