She smiled warmly and greeted Jinghe: "I heard that the British Duchess invited Mr.
Feng to Beijing to enlighten the eldest lady in the house, but is there such a thing?"
” Jinghe didn't expect the news from the capital to spread so quickly, but she wasn't worried about this, so she smiled: "What the eldest princess said is that Mr.
Feng has already given a reply, saying that he will leave soon, and he should be able to arrive in the capital next month." ” Mrs.
Hou Shizi of Xiangyang was also very interested when she heard this, and said: "I have also heard of Mr.
Feng's good name, my two girls play around all day, not like a look, if I can get Mr.
Feng's guidance, it is my girl's blessing." ” While instructing someone to give a bowl of hibiscus and red dates to Jinghe, the concubine said with a smile: "Mrs.
Shizi is too modest, your twins are lively and cute, and they are very smart, as if I like something." ” Mrs.
Hou Shizi of Xiangyang was naturally happy when she heard the concubine praising her pair of daughters, and while saying "Niang Niang has won the award", she looked at Jinghe again, obviously waiting for Jinghe's reply.
In fact, when she tried her best to invite Mr.
Feng out of the mountain, she predicted Mr.
Feng's popularity, so she was not surprised, but just smiled: "The girl in our family is shy, I am worried that I don't have a companion, and she can't bear to listen to the class, if Mrs.
Shizi is willing, you can send two girls to the house to listen to Mr.
Feng's teaching." ” The concubine nodded with satisfaction when she heard this, please Mr.
Feng was originally her suggestion, for the quiet concubine, the concubine is about more than Jing and herself, she racked her brains to think of this method, I heard that the girl is very lonely, it is best to have a few playmates, so she intentionally or unintentionally told the wives who came to ask for peace that Mr.
Feng was going to come to the British Mansion in the capital to do the museum.
Mrs.
Hou Shizi of Xiangyang hurriedly said: "It's just that I have to bother the British duchess." ” "Mrs.
Shizi is polite," said Jinghe, "I am going to open the west gate of the garden, and give the outer courtyard of the small courtyard facing the West Street to the coachman who sent the young ladies to rest, and the inner courtyard will be for Mr.
Feng to live and teach, and it will be very cheap for the two young ladies to come to the house to listen to the lectures in the future." ” When the eldest princess of Anping heard this, she also asked Jinghe: "My little granddaughter is five years old this year, and she has also reached the age of enlightenment, I don't know if I can go over together." ” "The eldest princess is polite, you just have to send it over, I'm afraid that I'm young and not well-arranged, the eldest princess will mention one or two more," Jinghe said politely, the eldest princess of Anping is the emperor's own sister, and she has a very sacred heart, and even the emperor respects her, and Jinghe naturally doesn't dare to hold it up.
The eldest princess of Anping can stand out among the many daughters of the first emperor, and naturally she will not be ignorant, so she smiled and said: "The British duchess is polite, when the time comes, I will have to ask you to take care of my little granddaughter, and the girl who is blue, be closer to you, and save yourself from being naughty." ” Yuwen Qilan is the youngest daughter and only daughter of the eldest princess of Anping, so she is naturally pampered, and she smiled quietly and did not answer.
If he said some short gossip from the parents, Jinghe retreated, but when he passed through Donghua Gate, he happened to meet Princess Ji.
Princess Ji combed a high bun and wore a robe with dark red cocoon silk and turmeric, although it was luxurious, it looked a little old-fashioned, and looked at her delicate eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly had such a thought.
There is Yao Ling'er, who is not easy to entangle, Jingyi's life will not be any better, the so-called 'please God is easy to send God', Jinghe is noncommittal, only politely curtsy of the knees, Princess Ji is also very polite, if an uninformed outsider sees it, he will never think that this is a pair of cousins.
Princess Ji still held her chin high, let Jing calm down, and then went to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu had to persuade some of the family to be peaceful, the housewife should be lenient, and take out the grandeur of the housemother to come to such words, these words are reasonable, Princess Ji has nothing to refute, and in the palace, she also needs Concubine Shu to help listen to some of the emperor's minds, and she also needs to marry the concubine, so there is only the reason that should be followed.
Her pent-up anger erupted in the carriage when she left the palace.
Just when Xu Zhaokuan came out of the yamen, he saw his daughter's car, and waited on the road.
Princess Ji invited her father into the carriage.
Xu Zhaokuan just said: "Princess Niangniang, if you see the prince of Ji, you must persuade the prince not to continue to protect the Duke of Qingguo, now the Duke of Qingguo is no longer able to keep it, the people sent out by the prince to assassinate last time are like stones in the sea, although those are dead soldiers, and they will commit suicide by taking poison if things don't work out, but the British Duke is not so easy to fool, and the old minister is afraid in his heart." ” Princess Ji also realized the seriousness of the problem, her eyes widened, and she said, "Could it be that those people didn't die, but were captured alive by Chu Qi?"
” "It's not good to say," Xu Zhaokuan said: "This morning, the saint summoned several of our military meritorious ministers to go to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint, originally chatting about stone carvings, but unconsciously turned to the matter of the military field, and faintly sighed to clean up the military field.
The old minister thought that this was the emperor giving these people some warnings, salute first and then soldier. ” He moved his lower body and smoothed the hem of the purple embroidered official robe, but he used this posture to get closer to Princess Ji, lowered his voice and continued: "Qingguo Gong has been in trouble for a month, since the emperor started the secret folding system, there are secret envoys of the emperor all over the Great Zhou, what is the situation of this matter, I am afraid that the emperor has already known in his heart, the emperor and his old man only want to standardize the military field, and he does not want to pull out these old ministers, so the old minister guessed that even if the prince Ji does not come forward, the emperor will not kill Qingguo Gong, But if Prince Ji insists on going his own way again, I'm afraid that things will become out of control!
” Princess Ji said anxiously: "Last time, because of the conscription system, the emperor has snubbed His Royal Highness, and the conscription system was advocated by my father, and now the prince is still complaining about you." ” "That's why the old minister came to beg Niangniang, and you came forward to persuade the prince," Xu Zhaokuan said.
Princess Ji thought about it, and then frowned and nodded.
When the carriage returned to the Jiwang Mansion, the Jiwang Mansion got off the car with the help of Shuxiang, and then took the bus back to the main courtyard, while being served by the maid to change clothes, and asked: "Can the prince be in the house?"
” Mo Yun replied: "The prince has never gone out, in Linling Pavilion." ” Princess Ji snorted coldly, shook her hand and swept the makeup box on the dressing table to the ground, the rouge gouache spilled all over the ground, and the longan-sized pearls rolled out of the rosewood box, crackling.
The servants in the house were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, so they knelt on the ground and said, "Please let the princess calm her anger!"
”
