Carnivorous Princess and Herbivore Consort

The dinner was still used in Xinghui Palace, and the queen also called the prince and his wife.

"Brother Huang, sister-in-law." Shen Dongxue greeted Wei Muqing together.

"The imperial sister's complexion has gotten better recently. It's different for married people. Do you think so?"

"Cheng'er, you are a brother, don't bully your sister all the time."

"The empress mother's words are biased! Yun'er, tell me, is it because the imperial sister bullies me more often or does this palace bully me more?"

The Crown Princess Xue Yun'er smiled, looked at the Empress and said, "I think what the Empress Mother said is very true."

"Yeah, it's me asking for trouble again."

Wei Muqing smiled triumphantly at Wei Mucheng.

"That's right, Yun'er."

"What happened to the queen mother?"

"Wenkang's marriage, is your father interested?"

"After returning to my mother, it was a coincidence that Erchen went back to her mother's house a few days ago, and my mother mentioned this matter to Erchen. My father felt that Wenkang was really not good enough, so he was not in a hurry to plan his marriage, but my mother was a little restless Angry, Tuoerchen is paying attention to Wenkang."

"That's okay, I will also pay attention to him. How can I say that he is also the nephew of my natal family and the younger brother of my daughter-in-law?"

"Then Empress Dowager will have to worry about it."

After dinner, the queen left Xue Yun'er to talk to herself, and let Wei Mucheng chat with Wei Muqing and Shen Dongxue alone.

"Brother Huang received the imperial father's order?"

"This time, all the officials above the fourth grade have received the news. The emperor is very angry, and I am afraid that he will deal with it severely."

"A big event is indispensable. The emperor's most taboo is favoritism and deceit. This problem of Lingzhou Zhizhou has not existed for a day or two. He has not known about it for decades. Once he finds out now, it must be Furious."

"Tomorrow morning, my father will definitely arrange for an imperial envoy to take over the case. According to my sister, who do you think is the most suitable person?"

"Why don't you let me guess, did Brother Huang also like my son-in-law?"

"The one who knows the emperor's brother is none other than Qing He's younger sister."

"If the matter of the eldest brother-in-law is not involved in this case, I would also prefer the son-in-law, but under the current situation, we must always avoid suspicion."

"Yes, just thinking of this, the most suitable person is no longer suitable."

Shen Dongxue, who sat on the sidelines and listened to the speech of the two brothers and sisters at ease, was shocked when she heard that the prince wanted her to investigate the case. She felt that she passed the imperial examination only because the examinations were all theoretical, but she was actually asked to investigate the case. It's hard for her, but fortunately, the two of them rejected her immediately, otherwise she really didn't know how to refuse.

"Brother Huang, do you prefer Xu He or Miao Qing?"

"Xu He, Miao Qing is too bookish, but Xu He has more 'popularity'."

"What does the son-in-law think?"

Shen Dongxue, who didn't expect to be asked about it, was still immersed in the joy of her brother being rescued. When Wei Muqing suddenly noticed it, she subconsciously raised her eyes to Wei Muqing. There was still confusion in her eyes, obviously she didn't know what happened. what.

Seeing her cuteness, Wei Muqing couldn't help laughing, tried his best to hold back his smile, and asked again, "Which one do you think is more suitable for the imperial envoy, Master Xu or Master Miao?"

"In my humble opinion, neither of them is suitable."

"Oh? May I ask why?" Wei Mucheng never expected that Shen Dongxue would deny both of them.

"Brother Xu and Brother Miao are indeed rare people nowadays who have no factions and connections and are not afraid of power when they enter and leave the officialdom. I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with many things. Therefore, I feel that neither of them is suitable."

"What do you think of the queen?"

"I think the same thing as the son-in-law."

"You're absolutely perfect as a husband and wife." Wei Mucheng laughed, "Who does the imperial sister think is suitable? Why don't you let me take over?"

"No, remember to hide your strength and bide your time, even if your father said something before. Brother Huang, why don't you think about it...Wei Musui."

Hearing this, Wei Mucheng frowned, "Second brother? He's a nest with these stupid officials! Originally, he planned to speak for these people. Wouldn't it be in line with the wishes of these people to let him take over?"

"No. Father already knew about this matter, so he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. Let him go openly. He was very suspicious, but he didn't dare to do anything. At most, he would just do nothing, and just let Father see clearly. Hypocrite. At that time, I will go with my son-in-law to go back to Lingzhou to see my parents-in-law, and investigate the case privately. Therefore, the second child is the best candidate for this 'imperial envoy'."

"You investigate privately, what if the emperor finds out about it?"

"I will report this matter to my father in advance. If I ask my father tomorrow morning, you will first recommend the candidates in the order we have rejected before. There will be people who object, and you will follow their wishes, and finally recommend them." Wei Musui, he is a prince, his status is noble enough to convince the public, and his official experience is also very rich, so they must have nothing to say."

"Just as the imperial sister said."

"It's getting late, and it's time for me and my son-in-law to go back to the mansion to rest, so we're going to bid farewell to the queen mother."

"Sister, go slowly."

As soon as he returned to the mansion, the steward came to report that Xue Wenkang had come again today, but he didn't stay long. He just sent two live hares here, saying it was to make amends for the princess and the son-in-law.

As soon as Shen Dongxue heard that there were wild rabbits, Shen Dongxue's eyes immediately lit up. Seeing this, Wei Muqing's original sentence of "throw it back" came to his lips and he took it back, "Do you want to see it, son-in-law?"

After all, Lingzhou belongs to the plains, with many good fields and few forests, and wild rabbits are very rare, but it is because there are many lakes and many wild ducks.Shen Dongxue was still thinking about how to ask to see the rabbit, but she immediately nodded obediently upon hearing this.

The hares were temporarily kept in the yard in front of the kitchen, and they used some bricks and stones to make a high circle. The two gray-brown hares gnawed on the vegetable leaves and some weeds, jumping back and forth from time to time.

"It turns out that the wild rabbit is smaller than the domestic rabbit, but I thought it was bigger than the domestic rabbit!"

"Look, look, its ears are so long!"

"The fur color feels dirty, but it's still so cute."

Shen Dongxue was a little excited when she saw the hare, but she didn't notice that she had forgotten to use her honorific title.Since she was a child, she liked rabbits, which are fluffy and small animals. She also raised a few white domestic rabbits when she was a child, but it was a pity that they all died of illness in the end.

Looking at Shen Dongxue, who showed her little daughter's delicate appearance, Wei Muqing felt that she was very cute when she was usually serious and said "you and me", but now she was even cuter when she said "you and me" so defenselessly, so she couldn't bear it anymore. I couldn't help but want to bully her, "It's very cute, I heard it tastes good too."

Sure enough, the smile on Shen Dongxue's face disappeared in an instant, and she looked at Wei Muqing cautiously, probing and flattering her, "Do you have to eat them?"

Wei Muqing nodded, "Cousin Wenkang sent it just for you and me to eat, otherwise let us feed Fei food?"

"But they look so small, they must not have much meat, can we raise them for a while before..."

Seeing Shen Dongxue begging himself pitifully, Wei Muqing was in a good mood: "Since the son-in-law has spoken, let them live for a few more days, but it's agreed, they will eat everything from the son-in-law during this time." If the son-in-law is hungry because of this, I will not help you."

"It doesn't matter, they are so small and eat very little, so they won't eat too many servings." Shen Dongxue nodded quickly when she heard what Wei Muqing said, but she was thinking about how to speak again after a while. Let Wei Muqing agree to let the two little ones go.

Wei Muqing, who could see through what Shen Dongxue was thinking at a glance, didn't intend to expose her, but happily asked the servants to light up lanterns, and went back to the bedroom holding Shen Dongxue's hand.And Shen Dongxue, who was held arm in arm, was still not used to the princess's act of showing affection anytime and anywhere, blushing and heart beating lowered her head, letting Wei Muqing take her back.

Shen Dongxue, who was tense all day long, relaxed and soon fell asleep.Wei Muqing, who slept with her for three nights, found that apart from the drunken night in the bridal chamber, Shen Dongxue would curl up into a ball when she fell asleep for the other two nights, and occasionally slip into her arms, like a ball Group of rabbits.Seeing that Shen Dongxue was fast asleep, Wei Muqing simply hugged him into his arms, stole a kiss on the lips and fell asleep together.
