little son-in-law

The emperor's will for a grand wedding was not made, but people who are interested have seen that Princess Xiling has been frequently entering and leaving the palace and the palaces of the clan and noble relatives recently, as if she is the mother of the dynasty, and they all speculate that the wedding is coming soon. The emperor himself promised it. After so many years, it seems that it will finally come to fruition. Not to mention the royal family and officials, even the common people think this is really a great thing.

Songmeiju is a century-old shop in the capital city. It is famous for its authentic dishes. It is located on the most prosperous section of Qianmen Street. There are many shops nearby, and the street is full of people and cars. It is very lively all day long.

It’s not even lunch time yet, and there aren’t many people in Songmeiju. Four or five tables are sparsely arranged on the first floor, and there are only two tables on the second floor. It’s easy to get sleepy in spring, and the shopkeeper is dozing off in the sun nest with his head propped up. Xiao Er didn't seem to be in a good mood while carrying the tea kettle.

On the second floor, there were three people sitting near the corner of the wall. There were some contracts and documents on the table. The ink on the paper was still dry. The three of them ordered some dried fruit snacks and were chatting with each other while drinking tea. The hottest topic in the capital is the emperor's wedding.

Speaking of this, the person sitting on the east side raised his head and looked around carefully. Apart from them upstairs, there was only a table by the window. A young man was eating snacks with two male dolls. It seems that they should be father and son. The father looks extremely elegant. The two male dolls are twins. Can't help but take a second look.

As if sensing his gaze, the young father withdrew his gaze from the street scene, turned his head and smiled as a gesture.

The man on the east side also nodded quickly, seeing that the man was not paying attention to them, he lowered his voice and said: "Speaking of the emperor's big wedding, I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rituals got the decree from the above last autumn, and started early. Getting ready for the wedding."

The man in the stone-blue silk clothes on the north side of the table looked surprised and asked, "How did you know that?"

The man on the west side stopped his chopsticks, and seemed to want to ask this question too.

The person on the east side looked a little complacent, cleared his throat, and said: "My uncle is in charge of the Zheng family, and he is an imperial merchant. I heard from my uncle that the head of the Zheng family has personally brought people this time. I have been to Jiangnan three times, and the things I bought are all the best, and they are all used by the imperial court, and the beads alone..." He made a hand gesture, which successfully won the admiration of the two people.

The man on the west side simply put down his chopsticks, and said emotionally: "Look, we are all in business, but when it comes to the Zheng family, I am really envious. They have connections in the palace."

The man on the east side waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let alone the Zheng family, we are at least better than the Yun family, do you remember when Yun Qingchuan first came to the capital? The same, without blinking, and looking at the present, the foundation of several lifetimes has been destroyed in his hands. It is difficult to turn over, let’s talk about Yun Qingchuan, those bandits are good in a barren place like Suzhou Did you provoke me? Looking at a well-rounded man, no matter whether it's male or female, I can't get out of Yun Qingchuan's flesh and blood. Bones. If you die in that kind of place, you will die, and if you throw it in the mountains, you won't even find a single bone."

"I heard that the Yun family and this Zheng family are still in-laws, and when things happen, they hide faster than rabbits."

"Human affection is as thin as paper. In this world, there are still a few people who care about the past. Everyone knows how to protect themselves. It's good if they don't fall into trouble." This topic is sad to talk about, and it's useless for them to talk about it. Words: "Let's not talk about that, let's continue talking about the emperor's wedding. I didn't expect that our emperor is still a lover. After waiting for Princess Xiling for so many years, it is really not easy to get married now."

"I heard that Princess Xiling is a stunning beauty, and the emperor will never forget it."

"Not only is she a beauty, but you haven't seen the dowry from Xiling's dowry that day. The entire Qianmen Street was blocked by cars and horses. I saw that it was tens of miles away. Think about it."

"It's more than ten miles away, so how many things will you get? Xiling is such a big hand."

"After all, she is a princess from the direct line, and she is married to be a queen. How can it be unseemly?"

"That's true."

The three of them talked for a long while, and around noon, the restaurant became more crowded, so they stopped, put away their contracts, re-ordered dishes, and talked about trivial things like others.

There were also two young people at the table by the window. As soon as the two sat down, a child next to him laughed: "Uncle Mo, you bought a lot of things."

"Master, this is the freshly baked peach blossom cake from Qingfengzhai. I waited in a long line to buy it. It's hot. You and the young master should try it."

"Well, you can eat too. My order will be served soon. After eating, let's go swimming in the lake."

This table was Rong Jin and his party who were out for a walk.

"Daddy, is the lake as big as our fish pond?" Xing Zhi swallowed the cake in his mouth, and Rong Jin fed him some water.

"Much bigger than that. You'll know it when you see it."

Rong Jin and the others hadn't finished their lunch when they heard a commotion on Qianmen Street, and then a large group of imperial guards rushed past.

People in the restaurant ran to the street one after another to find out what happened, but no one knew. News came back from the front soon, saying that it was martial law at four gates, and anyone who wanted to leave the city had to be checked.

"Master, what did you say happened? It looks serious." Such a big commotion.

Rong Jin shook her head, "I'm not very clear about this, forget it, let's go back early today." He is a rich and idle person now, he only cares about his health, no one has said anything to him, and he didn't bother to ask.

As soon as this wave of silence passed, the shopkeeper of Songmeiju went up to the second floor, bowed his hands to the people upstairs, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, I have a distinguished guest to book the place, please forgive me .”

At that moment, someone threw the chopsticks and shouted angrily: "Shopkeeper, what are you talking about? Don't we give money? Are you looking down on us and driving people away?"

Many people followed Yinghe.

It is probably not the first time that the shopkeeper has encountered such a thing, and he continued to bend down and smile: "Everyone understand that we are also a small business. Today, the big guy's food and drinks will be treated as my host, and I will be the host."

Many of them were regular customers here, and seeing the shopkeeper say this, they couldn't be too embarrassing, and walked downstairs with a grimace, and the shopkeeper greeted Xiaoer with nice words and sent them out of the gate.

"Are you full?" Rong Jin wiped the mouths of the two children.

"En." "En, Daddy."

"Then let's go too." Rong Jin didn't want to be troublesome, the shopkeeper bowed to them, and then went to make amends to a few stubborn ones.

Rong Jin is now in her six-month-old stomach, and she must be careful everywhere. Tomorrow, I went to lead the carriage. When I went downstairs, Xiao Mo followed Rong Jin, and the two little guys walked in front. At this time, there was almost no one on the first floor. up.A sedan chair came outside the door, followed by a group of guards.

The sedan chair landed on the ground, and a woman stepped down with the help of the servant girl.

When Rong Jin raised his eyes, he just saw someone coming, and he thought to himself, it was her, no wonder she was able to put on such a battle after a meal.

"Mother?" Jing Zhi called out hesitantly, he and his mother looked similar, but something felt wrong.

When Xingzhi heard his elder brother calling his mother, he didn't look very carefully, so he rushed over while pulling his short legs: "Mother, mother, where have you been?"

"Xingzhi, come back, I have admitted the wrong person." Rong Jin called him and hurried down the stairs.

"Master, be careful." Rong Jin slid a step out of desperation, but fortunately Xiao Mo stopped him in time.

Xingzhi couldn't stop, and before he reached the front, he was waved away by the guard in front, and before he drew his knife, two people rushed in from the door, one held the child, and the other took the guard's arm off.

Although Que Zhiqing's background was not high, but after arriving in Daning as a princess, she was treated with courtesy everywhere, and she thought she had never been treated like this before. Seeing this situation, she couldn't hold back her face, "Who are you, you are so courageous."

Rong Jin didn't care whether she was a princess or a queen, she leaned over and hugged Xingzhi. Fortunately, the child was not injured, but she just stared at Que Zhiqing's face in a daze, "Daddy, not mother." She was fierce.

"Presumptuous, what are you? How dare you call us Mrs. Miss." The maid beside Que Zhiqing also had high eyebrows and low eyes.

Rong Jin glanced at her coldly. Before the people on Que Zhiqing's side could see what was going on, the maid was slapped on the ground, bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and she didn't get up for a long time. The skirt tripped.

With the support of the people around her, Que Zhiqing managed to stabilize her figure. Seeing that there were still people pointing around, she was so angry that she lost her mind. She pointed at Rong Jin and said, "Aren't you going to rebel? Come on, come on." People, report to the officials and let the officials in Daning see what kind of gangsters this is."

The guards from Xiling didn't pay much attention to these people, they just thought that just now they were negligent and suffered a loss. At this time, relying on the large number of people and the support of the princess, they wanted to take revenge. Rong Jin followed people Although there were not many of them, each one was a first-class master, so how could they succeed? During the scuffle, Princess Xiling was pushed and bumped into the corner of the table by her own injured guards, fell to the ground, and was trampled twice. Her hair was disheveled, like she was going crazy, she pushed away the people around her, and shouted in a panic: "I am the princess of Xiling, I want to destroy all of you."

"Master, the chariot and horses are ready, we can go." Ming Ting entered the door, saw that Rong Jin was unharmed, so he didn't ask any further questions, and escorted him out, the sword had no eyes, if he got hurt, it would be a big deal.

There were people watching the fun outside the door, but when they heard that Princess Xiling had been beaten, they were afraid of causing trouble, so they ran away quickly. Rong Jin and the others did not encounter any obstacles when they came out. Come here, there is no murderer in Songmeiju, only a group of wounded soldiers and the distraught Princess Xiling are left.

The envoys of Xiling rushed to the palace to face the saint that night, demanding justice for their princess.The emperor didn't have time to meet him, so he only asked his servants to come out and say that there would be an explanation. They waited outside the palace gate for a long time before they got this result.

"Little Jin, is there any injury?" Nangong Jingshen rushed to Mu Hanju's place as soon as she heard the news.

"No, as soon as the fight started, I took the children away. But this princess's style..." Rong Jin pondered for a while, she was really not good at talking bad things about people behind her back, so she just said: "There is something wrong with the style." Using power to oppress others is too arrogant and domineering. In that kind of situation, regardless of the seriousness, she will reveal her identity without distinction. In the end, she will be the one who loses face, "Is she really Yuyang's younger sister?" The difference is too much.

Nangong smiled deeply, hugged him, put him on his knees, put his ears on his face, and told all the ins and outs of the matter.

Rong Jin straightened her stomach, lay on top of him, and chose a comfortable position. After listening to what he said, she patted him on the shoulder politely and laughed: "I didn't expect you to be swayed like this."

Nangong Jingshen tickled him: "You still laugh, you still laugh."

Rong Jin's long eyelashes fluttered down, and his black and white eyes were full of warm smiles. He was afraid of tickle and twisted his body to avoid Nangong Jingshen's hand.

Nangong Jingshen held Ren Xuxu with the other hand, caring about his stomach, and didn't dare to really make trouble with him, Xiao Jin smiled so happily, and the anger she had been holding back for the past few days dissipated a lot.

Rong Xi came to see Rong Jin, walked to the door and heard laughter coming from the room, didn't go in, stopped for a while, turned and left.

"Did you go out to play today?" According to the report from the people below, Xiaojin is in a good mood these days, and she takes the child to play around all day long.

"I wanted to go to the lake with my children, but I didn't make it. By the way, did something happen in Beijing? The city gate is still under martial law today."

"Don't worry about it, there is nothing more important than keeping your body healthy."

Seeing the taboo attitudes of Nangong Jingshen and his father, Rong Jin knew that the matter was serious, "Did something happen to Beiyuan?" Beiyuan's envoys had been staying in the capital before, so they had their own problems. Looking at the direction in which the imperial guards left, it was also like the post house in Beiyuan.

Seeing that he had already guessed it, Nangong Jing nodded and admitted: "Mu Qiao is rebellious, and Beiyuan announced that he is no longer a vassal state of Daning."

"I don't think you're too worried?"

"Mu Qiao is a very scheming person. He has been hiding his power for so many years. How can he be willing to be mediocre? He will rebel sooner or later. Besides, Beiyuan is not Xiling. The Xiling Yuan Emperor has the support of the Que clan when he ascends the throne, but Mu Qiao does not. He It is difficult to convince the public with the military power to forcibly ascend the throne. It is necessary to do something big to establish prestige and win the hearts and support of the people. It is best that this matter can inspire the whole of Beiyuan and unanimously speak out. You said, what could be better than declaring separation Is there a better thing for Daning? When the battle with Daning starts, the Beiyuan court will be concerned about the outcome of the war, and no one cares about who sits on the throne, as long as they have the ability to lead them to victory." It's Mu Qiao's good plan, and the army is in his hands, at his disposal.

"Then he sent envoys over a few days ago to present the letter of credence..."

"It's nothing more than buying time to prepare for the army."

"You know everything, and you still let it go?" Judging by his neither arrogant nor impetuous attitude, he knew there was something wrong.

"They don't afford soldiers, so how can they have an excuse to let Beiyuan destroy the country?" People who are not of my race must have a different heart. He has always believed in Beiyuan's surrender, and it is not a day or two before he wants to destroy them. Although the timing is not good now, But he didn't object, "Besides, I still want to point Mu Qiao to restore your identity."
