Chapter 832 Dragon and Phoenix, looking for something strange
Chapter 832: Long Feng'er, check for strange things
Princess Chenliu's Mansion in Jinyu Alley.
The princess palaces of the Ming Dynasty all use the Zhengyipin system, but the gate tower has five rooms and seven shelves, which is better than the princes and uncles, except that they cannot use gold, and the princes and princesses of the vassals are even inferior. So, according to
Zhu Zhanji's original intention was to build the Princess's Mansion on the Tenth Prince's Mansion according to the specifications of the Princess Mansion, but Zhu Ning rejected it. Now the mansion and the garden behind it were built by the Ministry of Industry, and all the furniture and furnishings were purchased from the palace.
What comes from within may not look luxurious on the outside, but everything is exquisite on the inside.
However, everyone knows that Zhu Ning, Princess Chenliu, is deeply trusted by the Queen Mother, but among the many noble ladies in Beijing, only a few can step through the door of this mansion. Zhu Ning spends most of his time in the palace, and when he stays here,
But not much. I came out today because of the message sent by Feng’s mother, so I returned home.
As soon as she entered the house, she learned that Feng's mother had also invited Du Wan and Xiao Wu. She couldn't help but smile at the corners of her lips, and her steps became lighter. When she arrived at the second door, she deliberately slowed down her pace. Sure enough, someone suddenly popped up next to her.
A head came out, and after yelling, he grinned at her. At this time, she stepped forward and pulled the person out, and smiled angrily: "I know you are still thinking about this! You are all a mother-in-law.
Even now, you still look like this, it’s all because of the manipulator in your family!”
"When you become a mother, do you have to stay at home without leaving the door? My family doesn't have such broken rules!"
Xiao Wu wrinkled his nose, then took Zhu Ning's arm and said affectionately: "I went to see them, they are really a very cute pair of children, a rare pair of twins! My sister couldn't put it down when she saw it.
I don’t even care about welcoming you. Mother Feng also said that on the journey from Henan to the capital, the two children just ate and slept all day long, and they even gained some weight when they arrived in the capital!"
Hearing what Xiao Wu said, Zhu Ning couldn't help but feel even more happy, but when he thought about the life experience of this pair of twins, he felt a little pity in his heart. Although his biological brother Zhu Youxi was sequestered and imprisoned, after all, with her as his sister, no one dared to treat him harshly.
There was no shortage of food and drink, and the concubines and concubines of the past were all around, as well as dozens of maids. The mother of these two children was born as a maid, and it was a good omen to give birth to twins, a dragon and a phoenix.
But she died of hemorrhage during childbirth. In addition, Zhu Youxi lost his title as King of Xin'an, so he was too lazy to include them in the genealogy, or even to take care of them. If Feng's mother had not happened to go back to look for the children, she would have reported the news as soon as she heard the news.
They took the King and Princess of Zhou and took the child out, fearing that the twins would starve to death.
Since the Empress Dowager and the Emperor agreed, she planned to keep the child by her side. Zhu Youxi had brought it upon himself, but the child was always innocent.
Before reaching the upper room, Zhu Ning heard a clear cry, and couldn't help but pull Xiao Wu and walked two steps quickly. The girl who had seen the two of them quickly opened the curtain, and she was the first to cross the threshold and saw the main room.
There was no one around, so she hurriedly followed the sound and entered the east room. As soon as she entered, she saw Du Wan smiling and holding a swaddling baby.
"Sister Ning is here? Come and take a look. This little girl was crying just now. She stopped as soon as you came in. She is smiling so cutely now!"
Taking the child from Du Wan, Zhu Ning felt a heavy weight in his arms, and he was a little confused. As a result, Du Wan and Xiao Wu next to him had to give her instructions. It was easy for Zhu Ning to get used to it.
Only then did she have the heart to look at the child, but she was stunned when she saw it. Du Wan was even more sad when she saw it. When she just held the child, she had already noticed that both boys and girls looked exactly like Zhu Ning. After all,
They are the children of her biological brother.
Mother Feng took care of Zhu Ning from childhood. When she took the child out, she realized that the two children were almost carved from the same mold as Zhu Ning when she was a child. She was worried that they were the children of sinners, but looking at those two faces
, she couldn't bear it anymore and immediately reported the letter to Zhu Ning. Fortunately, it was God's grace after all, and she got the news on the way that the emperor actually agreed.
At this moment, seeing Zhu Ning shed tears, she hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Princess, after all they have shed their status as sinners and can be educated under your knees, you should be happy! As long as you are here, their father will always be there."
Instead of being treated harshly, even their mother could close her eyes in Jiuquan underground. Look, she seemed to be crying just now, but now she is laughing!"
Mother Feng has already hurriedly brought the other baby over. Du Wan on the side also gave some advice, and Xiao Wu even helped: "Yes, yes, looking at them, I also want a pair of dragon and phoenix."
As for the fetuses, they are born exactly the same. You can dress them up however you want since they were young, and you can take them out to play!"
"You just know how to play!"
Zhu Ning stopped crying immediately when she made such a fuss. After glaring at her, she carefully handed the baby to the wet nurse, but her eyes were still staring at the two identical faces. For a long time, she used the handkerchief
After wiping his eyes, he and Du Wan Xiaowu went to sit outside. Talking about the pair of dragon and phoenix beauties, Du Wan smiled and said: "Now that we have the child, have you thought about the name?"
"The name was given by the Empress Dowager herself." Zhu Ning took out a yellow satin-faced fold from his sleeve and unfolded it for Du Wan and Xiao Wu to see. "The boy's name is Rujun, and the girl's name is Ruyun. As for the surname, I will give it to you."
As long as I am here, I will protect them for the rest of their lives... The fifth brother's father neglected to teach him back then, and I will not let them make the same mistake again. When they are a little older, I will no longer care about outside things and teach them wholeheartedly.
"Zhu Ning's face glowed as he spoke, and then he looked at Du Wan and Xiao Wu and smiled again, "We are like sisters. If the children can see each other in the future, we will become in-laws!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiaowu slapped her hands hard: "That's great, I want Ruyun to be my daughter-in-law!"
"Damn girl, how can you steal your wife like this? If my brother-in-law knows this news, you will be angry to death!"
Du Wan said, grabbing Xiao Wu's cheek, but also smiled at Zhu Ning: "This girl was snatched away by Xiao Wu. I don't know if I will be lucky enough to have another daughter. If I really can have you as my mother-in-law,
Any mother can feel relieved."
Mother Feng couldn't help but smile when she saw that the three of them were laughing and chatting, and their children's marriage had already been decided. But looking at Zhu Ning's cheerful look, she couldn't help but turn around and wipe her eyes. This time she returned to Kaifeng,
All the vassals from King Zhou on down were very polite to her as a slave, no doubt because of Zhu Ning's face, and all the princesses prepared generous gifts when they came back.
However, among the princess's sisters who were married long ago, only a few of them are still alive despite their high status. After all, in the past, there were no restrictions on the princess's ceremonial guests, but in recent years there have been more and more restrictions.
The more stringent the order, several honorific guests who were still holding actual positions were vacated one by one. Even the princess of Lanyang, who married Xu Maoxian, the younger brother of Ding Guogong, was married to Mr. Xu Maoxian because of his lustful concubines.
Staying alone in an empty room all year round.
When you get married, you still have to be blamed for the man's lack of ambition. What kind of luxury is this?
Because he had promised Empress Dowager Zhang before coming back that she would not go back until the palace gate closed in the evening, so Zhu Ning was not in a hurry. He talked to Du Wan and Xiao Wu, and teased the two children. When he was happy, even his food tasted sweeter than before.
In the afternoon, Xiaowu just said that Wanshijie was not here and she had to help take care of his property, and then ran away, so only Du Wan and Zhu Ning sat together and talked. From children to family affairs, and from family affairs to
When it came to state affairs, when Du Wan mentioned that Zhang Yue had left this morning and said that he might not be able to come back in the next few days, Zhu Ning suddenly slapped her in the face.
"Why, not seeing him for one day feels like three autumns apart. Do you miss him?"
They already had a son and a daughter, and Du Wan had nothing to be embarrassed about in front of Zhu Ning. He simply said honestly: "It would be a lie to say that I'm not worried about what happened yesterday. It makes me scared when I think about it. He didn't see his mother-in-law worried."
Even my mother, when I went to see her this morning, she recited several lines of Amitabha. This incident happened so suddenly, I felt so strange... Sister Ning, tell me, do you know how to use martial arts?
The election fraud is just a pretext, but actually someone wants to place people in the guardhouse?"
Zhu Ning's smile suddenly disappeared, and after a long while he frowned and asked, "Is this what Zhang Yue told you?"
"He didn't say anything, he just lightly mentioned what happened at the small school field yesterday. I just thought about it again and again after he left this morning, and suddenly I couldn't get rid of the idea no matter what." Because I didn't sleep well last night.
Too few. Du Wan couldn't help but rub his eyes, and then continued, "After all, the emperor is not here, and at least more than half of the civil and military leaders are accompanying him. I can't help but think about that."
"Yesterday, when Zhang Yue went to the Wenhua Palace to see the Queen Mother, he made things clear. He also suspected this, so the Queen Mother has ordered a thorough investigation. As for the big change... you don't have to worry. After so many years, it has really happened.
How many people can succeed with that idea? They are just clowns. It should be noted that after Liu Yongcheng went to Nanjing to guard, the palm print of the Royal Horse Supervisor was Zhong Huai, who had been used by Emperor Renzong and the Queen Mother for many years. Besides, the capital camp
With Cheng Guogong sitting in command, what use can a few officers do? If it hadn't happened yesterday, a sudden attack might still have some effect. Now that the conspiracy is exposed, the smart ones will cease to exist. If the unsmart ones...the emperor can leave with peace of mind.
Isn’t the reason why the capital is patrolling the north because the queen mother is in charge of the capital?”
Du Wan knew that Zhu Ning had always had her own opinion, and she was by the Queen Mother's side. After hearing this, she thought about it carefully and nodded. She also knew that it was not appropriate to dwell on this kind of issue, so she was about to change the subject.
, I saw Feng’s mother on the side, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. She and Zhu Ning were used to being close, so she quietly winked at her. Soon, Zhu Ning also noticed that something was wrong.
"Mother Feng, what do you have to say?"
Feng's mother suddenly woke up and saw that it was Zhu Ning who was looking over. She hesitated for a moment and said: "When I reported the two children out of the palace, I accidentally alerted the drunken Fifth Master. I learned that it was Jun.
The main person took the child over to raise him, but he didn't know what happened. He laughed so hard that he fell down laughing. He also said that his sister didn't know what she was thinking about. She hurt her brother but she still thought about her nieces and nephews. Look at you.
Keeping this in mind, he will beg someone else to let you go the next day... I heard that it was really unreasonable, and I didn't take it seriously. Later, after staying in Prince Zhou's mansion for a few days, I heard the princess say
However, in the past two years, all the vassals have had a lot of contact with Kaifeng. Last time during the Chinese New Year, people sent New Year gifts. This has not happened for many years. Even the second and fifth masters were not left behind."
The so-called second and fifth masters are naturally the King of Ruyang and the King of Xin'an who were stripped of their titles and made common people. After all, Feng's mother still had the respect from the past and did not dare to call them by their names. Zhu Ning frowned upon hearing this.
, thinking that even after this, the fifth brother Zhu Youxi still did not repent. Fortunately, he should not be able to do anything extraordinary in the confinement, so he did not need to worry too much about it. However, there were some things that could not be ignored, and she planned to treat Rujun
If Ruyun regards her as her biological children, they cannot let their biological father perish.
Du Wan also always paid attention to foreign affairs. After hearing what Feng's mother said, he knew that the matter involved Zhou Fan's family affairs, so he stood up and left after chatting for a few words. Zhu Ning left her to have dinner before going back, but she shook her head and smiled: "
I told my mother-in-law that I came here to find out the news. I couldn’t stay out and not go back, and I had to comfort her. Besides, you have a new son and a daughter, so you have to spend more time with them. Today is in a hurry.
The meeting gift is just a pair of purses that I made with my own hands, and I will prepare another generous gift when it comes to the next day."
Since Du Wan said this, Zhu Ning naturally stopped trying to persuade him to stay. He was going to send the person to the second door in person, but Du Wan said no, so she would only go as far as the door of the house, and then asked Feng's mother to see him off on her behalf. Return
When she arrived at the main room, she sat for a while and then went to the desk in the back room. She hurriedly wrote a letter, then ordered someone to deliver the message and called the steward to the small meeting hall outside.
The general manager of the Princess's Mansion was the old general manager of the former Zhou Prince's Mansion. Since it would be difficult for Zhou Fan to return to the capital in the future, and there might not be any major events in the Zhou Prince's Mansion, Zhu Ning simply transferred the person here.
Zhu Ning is used to people. She is now very popular around Empress Dowager Zhang. No one in Zhou Fan's capital dares to listen to her orders. The life of the old manager is more comfortable than before. At this time, he stood tall in front of Zhu Ning.
Straight, but his ears listened carefully.
"Go to Kaifeng in person and present this letter to the King of Zhou. Then go and see Fifth Brother and ask him..."
Zhu Ning lowered his voice and gave strict instructions. The old manager remained calm at first, but in the end he was surprised and raised his head and asked: "How could the princess think of that end?"
"I hope it's just me being paranoid... The fifth brother was able to eat people's livers and brains back then, but now that he has been confined for a long time, there is no guarantee that he will connect with the outside world. Although you are old, I can't do this.
Don't worry about others. Of course, I will report it to the Queen Mother, so you don't have to worry about anything that has exceeded your authority."
"yes."
The manager's heart trembled, and he promised to resign, but Zhu Ning suddenly stopped him: "I heard from Feng's mother that my eldest brother had a son two years ago, but he died in infancy. You might as well pay attention to my eldest brother's health, and then advise him.
Chapter completed!
