Chapter 369
Outside the study door in the front yard of the Prince's Mansion, Helian Minmin was walking back and forth with a silk handkerchief in his hands, holding his heart in his hands. Seeing Wei Zhen coming out of the house, she quickly raised her foot and took two quick steps, with apprehension in her eyes.
It has already spread throughout the house, and it was the news from Dan Ruoyuan. It is said that within ten days, the whole family will move to the East Palace in the imperial city. Ever since hearing this letter, Helian Minmin couldn't sit still anymore.
Seeing Wei Zhen's serious face and shaking his head at her, Helian Minmin's heart sank and he murmured in a low voice. "His Royal Highness, this is..."
"The master said, everything should be done according to the rules."
Reluctantly saying a few polite words, she helped Nanny Feng turn around and take a step, her face paled in an instant. She only revealed a little bit of news about Mrs. Mu's residence in the house, which made him so angry that for almost two years, he refused to enter her courtyard.
It was about to move into the palace at this moment, if the indifference continued like this, Concubine Shu would know that Zong Zhenglin would never enter her house at all, there would be no room for her in the backyard.
No, I can no longer resign myself to fate and let it go. In the East Palace, there are many people and mixed conversations. If one person is not good, even the emperor may have to depose her. Disgusted by the crown prince and unwilling to get close, occupying the position of his first wife, the disaster is the entire Wei Dynasty. Helian Minmin's heart tightened, and the steps of turning around just now stopped suddenly.
"Nurse, I can't just go back like this today." Holding Nurse Feng's arm tightly, half of Helian Minmin's face was out of the light and shadow, with a determined expression.
"Master, since the day His Royal Highness returned to the capital, except for everyone who greeted him at the door, and even the time when he took Mrs. Mu back to the mansion, he has only seen people twice. After that, the many people in the entire backyard have never seen each other again. I found a chance to meet you face to face. Even if you came here so diligently these days, you were also stopped at the door and didn't show any kindness."
Mother Feng's words were a little frustrating, the prince's temper is really cold and hard. At the beginning, the master was anxious to get rid of the Namu family, and secretly negotiated the song with Concubine Helian. But it didn't work out in the end. Even if His Highness was furious for a moment, after such a long time, it should calm down. After all, there is no stumbling between the male and female masters in any family.
In ordinary people's homes outside, the mistress who is angry with the concubine's room in the back house, how can there be less. Not to mention those who came to the door from the outside and made a mess at home. His Highness exposed the incident, the master was not humble, it was obvious that he wanted to reconcile. However, the master of the family is not easy to talk to, and he is very ruthless when he is violated.
Hey, these days are really difficult.
"Today is different from the past, even if you don't want it with this face, you have to ask him for forgiveness." There is hatred in my heart, but more sadness. He would never know what kind of hope she had in marrying into the mansion. With such determination, he poured down bowls of bowls of the bloody soup that made people vomit.
"However, if the old matter is brought up again, His Highness will be angered..." Mother Feng was hanging in the air, unable to make up her mind. I wanted to persuade him, but I was afraid of ruining my master's affairs.
Helian Minmin didn't know that there was a risk in this matter. But instead of dawdling like this and being indecisive, it is better to take a gamble.
"Go and watch outside, don't tell the screwdriver woman in the backyard to watch the joke for nothing." Lifting her skirt with her neck raised, Helian Minmin went back to the study. This time, my mind couldn't be clearer. She has to admit her mistakes frankly, the more sincere she is without concealment, the more likely she will achieve her goal. Otherwise, that master will have to hang out with her for the rest of his life.
Since he was named the crown prince, Zong Zhenglin handles more and more government affairs every day. At this time, he just finished reviewing the memorial to be read today, and rubbed his forehead with his elbow. Looking up, she saw Xia Jin on the noodle table opposite. There is still dew on the petals, and the bottom of the basin is tender green. She has traced patterns on the tray, and the whole is the style of women in the boudoir. She coquettishly pushed him in, murmured and complained that his study room "is deserted when you look at it, and you don't like to be treated." With this excuse, she finally got her way.
"Master." When Wei Zhen came in, he saw the gaze of the person above him on the flowery potted plant, and his cheeks twitched unconsciously. Out of the corner of the eye, he glanced at the two budding water hibiscus in the vase in the corner, and his expression became more serious.
You can't read the master's jokes. What's more, it's still a joke between the two masters...
"What's the matter?" Looking back, Zong Zhenglin leaned back in the chair, stretching his long legs freely, making him look taller and more majestic.
"Prince Concubine knelt outside the door and begged to see you." With his head down, Wei Zhen didn't dare to say a word. The Crown Princess begged him to pass a sentence just now, but with that word, even if he had the courage again, he had to worry about whether the person above would change his face suddenly.
In the original words of the Crown Princess, "Since Your Highness left Beijing, this concubine has been thinking about it all the time, and I dare not forget it for a moment. Please also ask Your Highness to remember the past love, and allow this concubine to plead guilty and receive punishment in person."
Where should he carry these words! It seemed that the master didn't care about the sickness, but Wei Zhen was clear in his heart, how aloof and arrogant this master was, and how much he disliked those in the backyard. This is not counting the first time since returning to Beijing, when she entered the palace to pay her respects, Concubine Shu cried and wiped her tears in front of the master, and no one should be sued.
With a cold snort, Zong Zhenglin instantly turned cold. Standing up from the bookshelf, he took out a volume of dossiers, did not explain half a word, and sat down in the rattan wood rocking chair by the window.
Wei Zhen didn't dare to vent her anger, so she hurried over to bring some tea, and after refilling the tea, she bowed and retreated to the corner. Fortunately, Master Yao sent Shui Furong by his side, and it looked extraordinarily fresh at this time. At this time, Lord Wei wished he could be surrounded by a circle of water lotus. In this way, the master will vent his anger later, and for Master Yao's sake, he will restrain his anger.
Just after noon, the sun is already hot in late spring and early summer. Kneeling on the steps paved with bluestone slabs, Helian straightened her back, allowing her cheeks to burn hot from the sun. In front is the eaves of the corridor, and there is a draft blowing in the shade. But she just couldn't hide.
Wei Zhen didn't come out, so she wasn't in a hurry. At last there was still hope in this way, and He Lian Minmin was overjoyed to drive her back immediately.
This kneeling is halfway through the scandal. In the past, they were all raised by elite generals, but it was only an hour away, and their eyes turned black. At the knee, it was so blunt that he lost consciousness.
The thin shirt on the back was clinging to her body, and the sweat was sticking to her body. Helian Minmin's mind was distracted, and he didn't even bother to estimate the time based on the light and shadow.
"Crown princess."
There was a sudden sound above his head, and his dull eyes slowly returned to clarity. She didn't even notice when Wei Zhen came out.
"Master, please talk in your room." Finally there was a response, Helian Minmin was relieved, but couldn't help feeling sour and embarrassed. He actually watched her humiliated in front of outsiders, punishing her like this before allowing her to enter the door.
Thinking back to the time when she just married in, he still had respect for her after all. In front of everyone, except for that woman, he also showed some face to her. Comparing it to the present, Helian Minmin couldn't tell if she had any regrets, but her resentment towards Mrs. Mu did not diminish at all, and it was buried deeper and deeper.
Dragging his legs and feet, his steps were a little staggering. Thanked Wei Zhen politely for opening the bamboo curtain for her, took a deep breath, finally calmed down, put on a respectful demeanor, and entered the door lightly.
