The story of the rich and the young being tricked into farming

After Han Xiuping went back, he told King Ning about Ye Xiaozhou's reaction in detail. Jing Min's face was kind at first, but then he became more and more distorted.

In the end, King Ning couldn't bear it anymore, and he raised his hand to pat the table again, causing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to tremble.

"How much money is that broken wooden box worth? It's like buying a box for pearls. I don't know if it's good or bad."

Han Xiuping suppressed a smile and echoed, "That's right."

Jing Min pondered for a moment, and then said: "The embroidered handkerchief..."

"Before I left, I saw that the princess made Miss Chen put it away." Han Xiuping answered honestly.

King Ning paused for a moment before asking: "Is he useless?"

Han Xiuping shook his head slightly: "This subordinate is not sure."

Jing Min squeezed the space between his eyebrows, thought for a long time, and then ordered: "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare a small lunch tomorrow, and invite him to come to my king's room to have a meal with me."

Han Xiuping nodded and answered, "Yes."

On the second day, the morning court was over, but King Ning was left alone by the emperor to talk privately in Sanqing Palace.

The news seemed to have a pair of wings, and it spread throughout Luojing in an instant.

The wives and concubines of many famous families in Luojing wanted to come to the palace to visit this princess from Pingjiang earlier, but they had been rejected by King Ning for various reasons earlier, and most of them dared not even when King Ning was at home. door.

Now it was so easy for King Ning to be summoned by the emperor, and he would not be able to come back after a while, so these people came here in a hurry.

As usual, Ye Xiaozhou didn't get up until the sun was up. When he got up, he heard that so many people were stuck in the main hall. He thought that it was too unruly for them to hang out all the time, so he got up in a daze, and let the grooming The maids circled around him.

Fortunately, the maids that Jing Min pointed out to him were quick-spoken and capable girls, and it didn't take long for Ye Xiaozhou to become a decent Concubine Ning.

His stomach is not yet visible, and his face is flushed with five meals a day after being fed by the kitchen recently, and he is much more energetic than before.

Another housekeeper of the palace, the old lady, was afraid that Ye Xiaozhou would not be able to cope with these officials, so she mumbled in a low voice all the way to the main hall: "These noble ladies have been stopped by His Highness for so many days, and they must have resentment in their hearts. I have said something unpleasant, please wait for the princess to bear it for a while, and wait for the prince to return to the mansion to talk about it."

Ye Xiaozhou nodded obediently.

"After all, it's not too embarrassing for you to be the main door lady who was hired by three books and six jobs from a famous family. It's just that the lady of the country and the lady of the Houfu are good at telling stories. You just need to be wary of them. , don’t be drawn in by the words they brought up,” the old nanny pointed out painstakingly. Dumb is."

Ye Xiaozhou had made enough mental preparations along the way, but when he arrived at the main hall, he was still dazzled by Yingying and Yanyan surrounded by him.

Before he stepped into the main hall, the people inside had already come out to greet him. Ye Xiaozhou took a quick glance, and saw that there were men and women here, with different makeup and clothes. Those who waved their fans waved their fans, and those who pulled their handkerchiefs pulled their handkerchiefs. .

These people saluted Ye Xiaozhou one by one, regardless of the other party's rank, he always returned the salute.

After he took the main seat in the main hall, the rest of the people sat down one by one. A woman who was shaking a fan looked at Ye Xiaozhou and covered her face with a smile. She was wearing a warm orange dress. If Ye Xiaozhou didn't If I remember correctly, this must be the wife of the Duke.

"I have long heard that Princess Ning has a face like a fairy, but our Prince Ning hides Princess Ning like a treasure, which made us sisters curious for a long time."

Another woman in a concubine's skirt skirt said with a smile: "Looking at it today, I'm afraid it's not that Prince Ning is stingy, the prince is probably afraid that we sisters will be ashamed of seeing the princess, and will not dare to be like this in the future." The word beauty is over."

Ye Xiaozhou knew people very quickly, he had already recognized these Yingyans by now, and knew that the person who spoke was Mrs. Zhou from the Hou Mansion.

After all, he has already come to this front hall, so it's better not to say anything, lest people think that this Prince Ning's mansion is disabled and dumb, and neither is a healthy person.

"It's Madam who complimented me absurdly. I... this concubine is just an ordinary person, but I was lucky enough to see these ladies today, so I know what it means to be dignified, beautiful, gentle and virtuous." Ye Xiaozhou smiled slightly.

A male family sitting at the end of the table suddenly smiled and said, "It's right for the princess to think this way. After all, she came from a small place and came from a poor and humble background. Where have you seen so many beauties from official families?"

Ye Xiaozhou's eyes fell on him, and he saw that the speaker was wearing a pink robe, with a small bun, and a light pink silk flower on his temple. Little lady, she looks even more delicate.

Chen Mengchu, who was standing beside Ye Xiaozhou, couldn't listen any longer. She had never heard of anyone who dared to go to someone else's house to provoke the owner, so she blurted out: "Our young master's mother's house is not to say that it is rich and invincible, but also It can be said that the family has a lot of wealth, and Gusu is also a well-known and rich place, how come it is said by you, Madam, that you are from a small place and come from a humble background?"

Ye Xiaozhou tugged on Chen Mengchu's sleeve calmly, signaling her to stop talking.

"Isn't that right? No matter how rich you are, you're also from a merchant family, just one or two grades higher than those who are slaves and prostitutes." The man stroked the silk flowers on his temples and said casually, "If it's really a big place People, I will not teach you such an unruly slave, when the ladies are talking, when will you interrupt?"

The old nanny stepped forward and gave Chen Mengchu a sideways look: "Quickly apologize to the general's wife."

Chen Mengchu is very regretful now, and he is also afraid that his quick talk will cause trouble for Ye Xiaozhou.

However, before she could open her mouth to apologize, Ye Xiaozhou said first: "The general's wife is such a magnanimous nobleman, naturally she won't blame this ignorant little girl for her film."

"The princess is eager to protect the calf. If you know it, you say that the princess is generous. If you don't know, you think that the princess has never learned the rules of disciplining servants."

The officials and wives who came here were all happy to watch the excitement, so they were silent for a while and refused to make a sound.

If this place was in Pingjiang, with Ye Hongfang protecting it, Ye Xiaozhou might beat these people out without any hesitation, but now this is Luo Jing, and the emperor's feet are all relatives of dignitaries and nobles, and there are urgent officials at the top. Looking at the emperor who corrected his mistakes from King Ning, he naturally can no longer do whatever he wants like before.

In the end, it was the Duke's wife who eased the atmosphere: "General's wife is straightforward, Wangfei forgives him because he is still young, so don't take those words to heart."

Ye Xiaozhou glanced at the general's wife who was clearly a few years older than him, but held back his breath: "This concubine doesn't take it seriously."

"That's fine..."

Before the Duke's wife finished speaking, she saw the general's wife who was sitting at the end of the table overturn the teacup in her hand and stood up: "There is no need for you, Qin Qiuying, to pretend to be a good person."

Then he turned to Ye Xiaozhou: "I thought what a good concubine Jing Min had his eyes on, but I never thought that it was just a fancy porcelain vase!"

"I still have something to do in the general's mansion, so it's inconvenient for me to stay long, so I'm leaving." After speaking, he summoned the maid he had brought, turned around and hurried out of the yard.

Seeing Ye Xiaozhou's confused look, Mrs. Zhou covered her face and smiled: "The princess doesn't know, this general's wife is the young master of the prime minister's mansion. She has shown her kindness to your lord many times in the past, but now she sees that the lord is married to you." Without you, it is naturally uncomfortable in my heart."

Ye Xiaozhou felt a little sleepy when he heard it, but he still responded with a face: "I see."

"If you want to talk about this Luo Jing, we, Lord Ning, keep our lives clean. For so many years, we haven't even left a single room in the courtyard," another woman said, "It's just that the heir under the knee in the imperial city is weak now. If we, Lord Ning... the Jing clan, really are..."

Mrs. Guo frowned: "Sister, what do you mean by this? We are women, we just need to guard our own one-third of an acre of land."

"What my sister said is," she paused, and continued, "It's just that our Prince Ning injured his leg in the hunting ground that year, and he has never seen him leave a man and a half woman by his side. My sister just heard that If the coccyx is injured, the matter of having children, I'm afraid I can't do it..."

Ye Xiaozhou is not as clever, but now he can hear that the woman is saying that King Ning is afraid that he will not give up.

He frowned slightly, and just about to speak, he heard the rolling sound of wooden wheels from outside the hall, accompanied by Jing Min's rather low tone: "You'd better take care of yourself, Madam Yushi."

As soon as King Ning came, the faces of these women were different, and the Mrs. Yu Shi stood up abruptly, and then hurriedly saluted King Ning together with the rest of the people.

The Duke's wife immediately said with a gentle smile: "It's a coincidence that the prince is back, we sisters are chatting with the princess..."

"What are you talking about? How can my Xiaozhou chat with you idlers?" Jing Min said casually, "It's almost time for lunch, ladies and gentlemen, do you want to stay as a guest? The cook in our palace is the best Those who cook chicken tongues and duck tongues, do you want to stay and taste his skills?"

"No need," Mrs. Guo didn't dare to look at him at all, she could only shift her gaze to his chin, "The food is already prepared at home, so I won't bother you here."

As she bid farewell, other people also made excuses to leave one after another.

"A group of talkative idle women," Jing Min stood up, snatched the teacup from Ye Xiaozhou's hand, and took two sips of the half-warm tea in his hand, "What about you, why are you just sitting and being outnumbered? When confronting this king in the past, he was sharp-tongued."

Ye Xiaozhou didn't look at him, just said: "This is Luo Jing, the palace..."

Jing Min interrupted him and said: "This is your home, anyone you don't like, just drive them out."
