A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

The room was silent.

King Qi did not expect that Jiuzhu would say such a thing.

The Yun Family Royal Family Rules, as a royal wife, should be gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, not to provoke royal friendship, to promote closeness, and to settle disputes.

He thought that Ming Jiuzhu was only young and ignorant, so she had to speak out to remind the future Princess Chen on this occasion, but she did not care about the royal decency at all, and only knew how to obey King Chen blindly.

King Chen's sneer broke the silence in the room. He stood up and looked down at the Zheng family who were kneeling on the ground to plead guilty: "Today is the big day for the fourth brother.

The servants in Prince Chen's mansion bowed to open the door, and the laughter of the guests was sent into the house by the wind. The Zheng family, who were kneeling on the ground, only felt that these sounds were disturbing.

"You can't afford a good night." King Chen walked to the door and made a gesture of invitation: "Fourth brother, please."

After speaking, without waiting for King Qi to reply, he beckoned to Jiuzhu: "Ming Xiaozhu, come with me."

Jiuzhu trotted to the back of King Chen. Today, she did not comb the bao hair that she liked in the past, but instead wore a smart flying fairy bun. When she ran, she saw the phoenix wing hairpin under the bun, such as The flying phoenix descends, shining brightly under the red lantern.

The moment King Qi looked up, he was stabbed by the flickering light and closed his eyes. Opening his eyes and looking at Ming Jiuzhu again, there was a faint urge to get rid of it in his heart.

"Fourth brother." King Chen suddenly met his gaze and pulled Jiuzhu behind him: "Farewell."

Watching Yun Duqing take Ming Jiuzhu away, King Qi sighed wearily and looked back at the Zheng family: "You go back first, and tomorrow, when the princess and I enter the palace to serve tea, think of a way."

"Your Highness, thank you." Although Mrs. Pingyuan was the aunt of King Qi, she did not dare to put on airs in front of King Qi. On the bright side, everyone said that Uncle Pingyuan was Ning Concubine's family, but she knew in her heart that Ning Concubine and her husband were not born by the same mother. Bo Mansion and Concubine Ning were just using each other.

"Even though the second cousin is young, it should be well disciplined." King Qi glanced at the second young master of the Zheng family, his eyes indifferent: "Ming Jiuzhu is the future daughter-in-law that Su Guifei values, who gave you the courage to live with her?"

"His Royal Highness." Mrs. Pingyuan knew that King Qi was still caring about the two servants, and explained: "The two servants are not the people arranged by the government, please look into your highness."

King Qi stared at the Zheng family for a moment, then bent down to support Mrs. Pingyuan, and his tone softened: "Auntie is serious, the younger generation is just a few more words. People are sinister, and everyone knows that my grandfather's family is very close to me. , I am afraid that those who have a heart will hurt you because they hate me."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. The court lady will strictly manage the house in the future, so as not to cause trouble to His Highness."

"Aunt, how can the matter of the grandfather's family be trouble for this king." King Qi put his hands behind his back and smiled: "It's late at night, I will send someone to take you back to the house."

"The court lady thanked His Highness."

Uncle Pingyuan understood that His Royal Highness King Qi was disappointed with them, but he was pure and kind by nature and could not bear to embarrass the uncle.

The servants on duty in Uncle Pingyuan's mansion were talking lazily and in a low voice about how grand the wedding of Prince Qi's mansion was, when they heard the servants from the outer door come to report, and the masters returned to the mansion.

The people were busy doing a group, and they wondered why they came back so early.

"Hey, wait." A big steward stopped Scar's face: "Scar, don't go there. The master said that you will never be allowed to show your face in the future."

Scarface said with a smile, "Then what errands will I get in the future?"

"And wait for the master to arrange." The chief steward flicked his sleeves and left in a hurry.

Looking at the back of the big steward leaving, Scarface touched his chin, his eyes full of anger and resentment.

Thinking of the dead girl who scratched his face, Scarface clenched his posterior molars, still unable to relieve his hatred. If it wasn't for the fear of leaving her corpse and bloodstains difficult to deal with and causing others to suspect, he would have cut her to pieces and tortured her to death a little bit.

Binding her hands and feet to gag her mouth and throwing her into the river to drown her is really cheap for her.

After a while, he heard the servant mention the reason why the masters returned to the house early.

"That Miss Ming family seems to have a grudge against our house, and our house is unlucky because of her every time."

"The matter between the masters, how do we know as servants, anyway, whoever offends King Chen is unlucky. Miss Ming is King Chen's fiancée, and naturally she is with King Chen."

Scarface touched the flesh mark on his chin, recalling that King Chen and Miss Ming's family disliked him for his ugly appearance, which made him humiliated in Jingzhaoyin Mansion, and his eyes became gloomy and grim.

Dacheng's life is prosperous, and the capital and several prosperous main cities have lifted the curfew. After Jiuzhu left Qi Wangfu in a carriage, she could still see the small vendors who set up stalls on the roadside.

Shen shi lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at King Chen who was riding beside the carriage. King Chen noticed her gaze and gave her a friendly smile.

Returning a slightly stiff smile, Shen shi put down the curtain, looked at the sleepy daughter whose little head turned into a woodpecker, stretched out her hand, and let her lean on her shoulder.

Jiuzhu rubbed between Shen shi's neck and fell asleep peacefully.

Shen shi shook his head helplessly, this is heartless, the sky is falling, and he has the temperament of a tall man, which is exactly the same as her father.

When the carriage arrived at the door of Ming's house, Ming Jingzhou got down from the carriage in front and walked to King Chen: "Thank you, Your Highness, for seeing you off all the way."

"Sir Ming is very kind, this king is just stopping by." King Chen secretly glanced at the carriage that Jiuzhu was sitting on, but he didn't see Xiao Zhu.

The girl got out of the car: "Then the king bids farewell."

"His Royal Highness, please forgive my wife not to get off the car to see you off. The little girl has always had the habit of going to bed early, but she has fallen asleep in the carriage now." Shen shi lifted the curtains of the carriage: "Your Highness, please walk slowly."

Can eat, sleep well, and still don't like to use his head, what is it not a pig?

Hearing that Jiuzhu was asleep, King Chen turned his horse's head and left gracefully.

In the foggy night, the owner of the food stall cleaned up the tableware and chopsticks used by the guests, and rode by Jin Wuwei with a knife, reminding the street vendors to pay attention to the candles and clean up the ground where the stalls were set up.

A drunk man staggered past and almost plunged his head into the frying pan next to him. After being carried to the side by Jin Wuwei, who was the leader, he was still babbling nonsense, but the owner of the stall was terrified. Khan, thank Jin Wuwei again and again.

"Yo, it's you again." King Chen saw this scene and said to Jin Wuwei, who rescued the drunken man, "What's your name?"

Captain Jinwu Guards struggled a little. Is it a good thing or a bad thing to be remembered by this prince?

"The last general, Yu Jian, pays homage to the lord." Yu Jian rolled over and dismounted, and bowed his hands to King Chen.

"Yu Jian." King Chen nodded: "This king sees that you have good skills. It's a bit of a waste to be the captain of a small Jinwuwei squad."

Yu Jian's scalp tightened. Wouldn't King Chen want him to go over and be a running dog under the throne of King Chen's residence?

However, King Chen didn't say anything, just looked at him a few times and then rode away.

He looked at the back of King Chen's departure, and then looked at the drunken man lying on the ground talking nonsense: "Take it back, wait for him to wake up and go back by himself."

Looking at the direction in which King Chen was leaving again, he felt a little tangled in his heart. What does His Royal Highness Prince Chen mean, in fact... if the monthly salary is enough, it is not impossible to be the servant of Prince Chen's residence.

It was just dawn, and King Qi and Princess Qi came to Taiyang Palace early, waiting to meet the emperor.

"My lord, my princess, the old slave is here to congratulate the two newlyweds, but the old slave is in the palace and cannot go to the king.

The government begged for a cup of wedding wine, and asked the prince and princess to forgive me. "Liu Zhongbao walked out of the hall door and saluted the two: "Your Majesty let you in." "

"Many thanks, father-in-law." Sun Caiyao thanked him and took out a red seal from his sleeve: "My father-in-law has worked hard to serve the father. This is a wedding gift specially prepared by your highness for father-in-law."

The red seal was printed with the word Double Happiness, Liu Zhongbao took it with both hands, and saluted and thanked: "The old slave is proud to show the joy of the prince and the princess. Please follow the old servant into the hall."

Liu Zhongbao did not put away the red seal until he saw Emperor Longfeng when he entered the temple, and he held the red seal in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness and the Princess have come to invite you to An Jing tea."

Emperor Longfeng gave King Qi and Sun Caiyao a gentle smile: "Why are you here so early?"

"My son brought the bride into the palace for the first time today to greet the royal father. I dare not neglect." King Qi picked up a cup of tea from the palace maid's tray and knelt down on his knees: "Please drink the tea to the royal father."

Sun Caiyao held the tea cup and knelt down with King Qi: "Please invite the royal father to drink tea."

Liu Zhongbao was about to pass the tea to Emperor Longfeng, Emperor Longfeng waved his hand, took the tea cup and took two sips: "You are already husband and wife, you should cherish each other in the future, be together for a lifetime, know your heart and mind, and accompany you until the end of your life. ."

"My son obeys the royal father's instructions."

Looking at his respectful son, Emperor Longfeng turned around and took the two carved gemstone boxes brought by the eunuch and placed them in their hands: "Kneel down."

King Qi held the treasure box above his head, and after thanking him again, he left Taiyang Palace with Princess Qi.

Walking out of the Taiyang Palace, he looked at Sun Caiyao tenderly, and was very satisfied with Sun Caiyao's thoughtful actions: "There seems to be a faint orchid fragrance on the princess?"

Sun Caiyao nodded shyly.

"Mother also likes Lanxiang very much. You are very good." As soon as King Qi finished his words, he saw Su Guifei holding red plums, sitting on the chariot, shouting back and forth towards this side.

"Who is this Gongdao? It turns out to be His Royal Highness King Qi." Concubine Su sat lazily on the chariot, looking down at King Qi and Princess Qi who were saluting her, and they couldn't help their salute: "It happened in Qi last night. Ben Gong has already heard about the lively affairs of the palace. In the end, she married a girl from the Sun family. She has more confidence than other princes, and even Ben Gong’s daughter-in-law dares to plot against it.”

"Please, the imperial concubine, to see clearly, this matter..."

"Bengong asked you to explain?" Concubine Su Gui glared at her with a hint of sarcasm in her romance: "His Royal Highness Prince Qi has been etiquette since elementary school, why did he even forget the basic rules of the palace?"

King Qi bowed to the end and stopped talking.

Concubine Su didn't let him go because he didn't speak: "Since you have a family and a business, you should understand what the rules are. The Zheng family doesn't understand the rules, and this palace will teach them to understand the rules. If His Royal Highness Qi does not understand the rules, I don't mind teaching you a lesson for Concubine Ning."

"The younger generation made a slip of the tongue, please forgive the concubine." King Qi bowed again.

"Today is the first day of your wedding with the girl from the Sun family. Ben Gong sees Princess Qi and doesn't care about you." Concubine Su snorted lightly, "But you have to remember that there will be no next time."

"Thank you, Concubine."

King Qi raised his head, watched Concubine Su Gui and her group walking towards Taiyang Palace, bowed his head and smiled bitterly at Sun Caiyao: "Princess, I am wronged for letting you accompany me."

Sun Caiyao shook her head: "It's not His Highness' fault."

I can only blame... I can only blame Su Guifei for acting too arrogantly.

When King Qi and Princess Qi finished serving tea to Concubine Ning, news came out from Taiyang Palace that the earl of the Zheng family was reduced to the last baron, without any scruples that today was the first day of King Qi's wedding.

Hearing this news, Sun Caiyao immediately understood that Su

The imperial concubine went to Taiyang Palace with a few red plums in her arms early in the morning, originally to complain to the emperor.

She looked back at Lanxu Palace. In just a few days, the Zheng family had been downgraded again and again, and the mother-in-law... I'm afraid she wouldn't be too happy.

The Zheng family has almost become a joke in the entire capital. Even so, they still have to stare at the strange eyes of everyone in the capital and go to the Ming Shilang's mansion to plead guilty.

The master of the Zheng family is still seriously ill, and it is the wife of the Zheng family and the eldest son Zheng Wangnan who come to ask for the crime.

Knowing that the Zheng family was coming, Ming Shilang's mansion not only did not feel embarrassed, but opened the middle door and greeted him with a smile. Anyone who sees it will praise the generosity of the Ming family.

However, for the Zheng family, the more polite the Ming family was, the more uneasy they became.

"Miss Ming, everything is the fault of my godson. Please accept these gifts." Mrs. Zheng handed the gift list with both hands.

"Madam, you're welcome." Jiu Zhu got up and gave the junior salute, "Since the matter has passed, please don't take it to heart."

Mrs. Zheng's heart hurts hard: "..."

Their Zheng family's title has been lowered, and their face has been lost. Is this something that can be ignored?

She is angry and sad, but she still has to keep smiling, what kind of life is this?

"Master, Madam, Miss!" The little servant happily ran into the main hall: "The eldest master has returned to Beijing!"

"Really?!" Ming Jingzhou was overjoyed: "The elder brother hasn't lived in the mansion for many days, and the servants in the mansion must have not been careful enough to serve him. I'll go to welcome the elder brother into our mansion."

"Master." Shen shi stopped him: "It's cold outside, don't forget to put on your cloak."

After speaking, she looked at Jiuzhu: "Jiuzhu, you go with your father."

Jiuzhu, who had been curious about her uncle for a long time, heard her mother's words, jumped out of the chair and ran out after Ming Jingzhou.

"Hey, father and daughter both have the same problem, they don't wear a cloak when they go out." Shen shi put on a smile, turned to see Madam Zheng and Zheng Wangnan seem to be shaking, and asked with a smile, "Madam Zheng, Mrs. Zheng , but it's cold in the room?"

"No, it's not cold." Zheng Wangnan's face paled: "Thank you for your concern, Madam."

Where are they cold? They were frightened when they heard the news of Ming Jinghai's return.

No one in the court knew that Ming Jinghai was not only a learned champion, but also an excellent swordsman. When he went to Beijing to take the exam, he was able to pick up more than a dozen bandits by himself, and took the bandits to the yamen to receive money.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, he held the sword of Shang Fang, and I do not know how many corrupt officials he killed. The common people called him the Great Master Qingtian, but the officials and nobles in the capital were very frightened of him, and they called him the black-faced evil in private.

They just wanted to come to the door to ask for a crime, and they didn't want to be slashed to death by Ming Jinghai's sword.

When Jiu Zhu saw the uncle's first glance, he felt that he was very different from ordinary civil servants. He has dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a bushy beard on his chin, and a saber hanging from his waist.

"This is..." Ming Jinghai saw Jiuzhu's white and tender face, and lowered his high voice abruptly: "Is this my good niece?"

"Uncle." Jiuzhu saluted Ming Jinghai and looked at him without blinking.

"The niece looks so good." Ming Jinghai touched his arms and found that there was no suitable gift for the little girl, and finally tore off the purse from his waist: "Uncle, I don't know what your little girls like. spend the money."

"Father." Ming Cunfu glanced enviously at the purse in Jiuzhu's hand, his father had never been so generous to him.

Ming Jinghai, who was still smiling at first, saw his younger son's face, and instantly stiffened: "During my absence in the capital, can the books be read? The words can be written? Did you take good care of your sister."

Ming Cunfu: "..."

"Brother, Cunfu has been studying hard during this period of time, and he has never slackened." Ming Jingzhou held Ming Jinghai's hand.

Arm: "Let's go, you go back to the house with me to wash up, and we will reminisce over lunch at noon."

"Then there will be third brother Lao." Ming Jinghai was not polite to his younger brother, and followed Ming Jingzhou back to the servant's mansion. Along the way, he looked at Jiuzhu a lot, and Jiuzhu noticed his eyes and squinted at him and smiled.

Ming Jinghai's heart softened when his niece laughed, and he tore off the jade pendant from his waist: "Zhuzhu, this jade pendant is in good condition, you can play with it."

"No big brother, this is a gift from His Majesty, how can you give her a little girl who doesn't understand anything..."

"Zhuzhu is His Majesty's future daughter-in-law, so what's wrong with giving her this jade pendant?" Ming Jinghai pressed Ming Jingzhou with one hand, with an attitude that could not be rejected: "I gave this to my niece, and you have no right to speak."

Jiuzhu looked up at Ming Jinghai, her eyes were shining, the uncle was so domineering.

As time passed slowly, Zheng Wangnan's legs trembled like a stroke, and the sweat on his forehead kept rolling down.

"Madam, it's getting late, so it's time for me and the dog to leave." Madam Zheng stood up with a blank face: "It's not good to disturb your family reunion, leave, leave."

"Madam, this junior is saying goodbye." Zheng Wangnan stretched out his arms to support Mrs. Zheng, who was almost unsteady: "Goodbye."

"It's rare for Mrs. and Young Master to visit, so why don't you have to have a quick meal before leaving?" Shen shi stood up to retain: "Why rush to leave?"

"No, no."

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Mrs. Shen sadly. I don't think you want to keep our mother and son for dinner, but you want us to die.

Shen shi smiled and watched the Zheng family's mother and son leave in a hurry. She turned her head and smiled at the servant girl beside her: "Master and eldest master, did you come in from the main door?"

"Ma'am, it is

. "

Shen shi's smile became more gentle.

As soon as the Zheng family's mother and son walked out of the main hall, they met the bearded Ming Jinghai head-on.

"What, what kind of lifeless stinky boy dares to attack you from behind?" Ming Jinghai heard that someone was going to kill his niece, and frowned: "I don't know how high the sky is!"

With a bang, it was the sound of a person falling to the ground.

Ming Jinghai followed the sound and saw Zheng Wangnan who fell to the ground.

"Zheng Shizi, why can't you even walk?" He walked up to Zheng Wangnan and lifted the man off the ground.

"Uncle." Jiuzhu pointed to Zheng Wangnan in his hand: "It's his younger brother who pushed me from behind."

Ming Jing released his hands and threw Zheng Wangnan to the ground, staring angrily: "Your Zheng family, actually bullying my niece?"

"No no no no, Master Ming, all of this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Zheng Wangnan's voice trembled: "Please listen to the junior's explanation... No, explain, explain."

"What to explain, can my niece lie to me?" At first glance at his niece, he knew that this was the little girl from their Ming family. The three brothers are just such a little girl, will the little girl of their Ming family lie?

"I don't listen to the explanation." Ming Jinghai waved his big slap in the air, causing Zheng Wangnan's mother and son to shrink their necks: "Get out of Ming's house for me now, and I'll settle accounts with you tomorrow."

Zheng Wangnan scrunched up and stood up, took two steps and remembered that his mother had been left behind by him, hurriedly turned around to support Mrs. Zheng, and "escaped" out of the gate of Ming's house in embarrassment.

"Don't be afraid, niece." Uncle Ming wanted to reach out and pat Jiuzhu's head, but he was afraid that he would be too strong to pat the person, so he retracted his hand: "With Uncle here, the Zheng family can't get any favors."

"Thank you, uncle." Jiuzhu smiled sweetly: "But the concubine and your highness have helped me out. You just got home, don't be upset by these little things."

"You mean Concubine Su Gui and King Chen?" Uncle Ming turned to look at Ming Jingzhou: "Is this true?"

Ming Jingzhou nodded: "Jiu Zhu is right, Concubine Su Gui and King Chen really helped her out a bad breath."

He hadn't told his eldest brother that Su Guifei and Chen Wang sent things to their house every three or five minutes.

Uncle Ming thought for a while and nodded understandingly: "Anyhow, you are a favorite concubine, so it must be useful. If you are allowed to be bullied by other people, how dare you be a favorite concubine."

Ming Cunfu turned his head silently when he heard the words, Father, what you said sounds too much like a traitor. ??w??, please keep in mind:,
