The next day, Jiu'er walked out of the room, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Prince You's Mansion occupies a very large area, much larger than Li Yu's mansion in Huaizhou. The various decorations and arrangements in the courtyard are also made according to very high standards, making it look particularly luxurious inside and out. Precisely because
In this way, there are many rooms in the side courtyard, and even Jiu'er is just a little maid, she can still have a nice room.
But she didn't seem to care, and was even a little unaccustomed to sleeping in a strange place.
"Miss, wake up!" Jiu'er walked straight outside Jiang Ran's room, knocked on the door and called twice, but got no response. She opened the door curiously, but found that there was no one in the room, and she couldn't help scratching her head.
Scratching his head: "Miss, did you get up so early?"
Immediately, she walked out of the room, returned to her room, did a simple wash, and then went to the main courtyard. However, after asking the servants of the palace, there was no news about Jiang Ran, and she suddenly became panicked.
The side courtyard is a quadrangle with houses on the other three sides except the east side, with eight or nine rooms distributed around it.
Jiu'er thought Jiang Ran had gone to the wrong room, so she searched all the empty rooms, but in the end she couldn't find her lady. She suddenly became nervous and planned to wake Tang Ji up first, but when she passed by him
When he saw the window of the room, his eyes widened for a moment, he put his hand to cover his mouth and said to himself: "My dear, the young lady and my uncle are sleeping together!"
Immediately, she began to have random thoughts.
How can they sleep together before they are married?
What should I do if the young lady is pregnant with my brother-in-law?
If the uncle refuses to admit his debt, will she and the young lady have to move out and live their old lives?
Jiu'er thought for a while and finally shook his head. He planned to wait for the two of them to wake up before having a good chat with them. He looked around a few times and quietly closed the window to prevent anyone from discovering this.
...
Also in Beicheng, in another more luxurious mansion.
Zhang Yijun was suffocating in his heart. He didn't sleep very well. After getting up in the morning, he had already scolded several servants. At this time, he was sitting at the stone table in the backyard with a jade-colored soup in his hand.
Spoon and gently stir the hot porridge.
It didn't matter that he had been bullied in Huaizhou before, but this was Kyoto, a place where he had always said one thing and few people dared to say two. He was actually slapped by that kid, and his life was almost damaged.
Son, if this shame cannot be washed away, how will he be able to raise his head in the aristocratic circle of Kyoto in the future!
He began to make plans in his mind, and his fingers unconsciously scooped up a mouthful of hot porridge and stuffed it into his mouth.
"puff!"
He quickly spit out the hot porridge in his mouth, but his tongue was already numb from the scalding. He touched the whole bowl of porridge to the ground with some annoyance, pointed at the maid not far away and shouted: "Do you want to burn me to death? You are a waste.
, they are all trash, why did my father raise you bunch of useless things, you can’t do anything well!”
At this moment, a voice came from the arch.
"Jun'er!"
A man wearing a tan robe made of fine satin walked in. He looked average, with a prominent black mole at the corner of his mouth, a white beard extending from his chin, and alternating black and white hair. He was also not tall and slow.
He walked to the stone table and sat down.
"Dad!" Zhang Yijun quickly stood up and gave a perfunctory salute.
Zhang Chengwang waved his hand for him to sit down, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water, and asked: "Jun'er, who did you have a conflict with yesterday?"
Tang Ji's figure appeared in Zhang Yijun's mind, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He is just a unruly man. When he was in Huaizhou, he slapped me twice because of Li Yu's support. I didn't expect that he would still be so arrogant when he came to Kyoto."
, I beat my son again yesterday, Dad, you have to make the decision for me!"
Zhang Chengwang nodded slightly. He had heard about Yijun being bullied in Huaizhou before. From this point of view, he could not blame his son, but the other party below. But how could His Majesty be so angry with the Duke because of a commoner?
Where is the government?
There must be something fishy about this!
Is it related to Li Yu?
Thinking of this, he stroked his slender beard and asked, "Jun'er, do you know the relationship between that man and Li Yu?"
"I asked in Huaizhou that the relationship between that man and Li Yu is extraordinary. They even opened a bookstore together. However, Dad, that man is just a commoner. Even if Li Yu is protecting him, he cannot act arbitrarily in the city.
Right?" Zhang Yijun said dissatisfied.
"Dad, I know. You just have to endure it for a few more days. After dad finds out, he will seek justice for you. If King You blocks it, there will be a reason to drive him back to the fiefdom." Zhang Chengwang snorted coldly and stood up again.
Walk towards the arch.
Hearing this, Zhang Yijun raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Boy, just wait for me. When it falls into my hands, your life will be worse than death!"
...
"Ah owe!"
"Ah owe!"
Tang Ji had just finished brushing his teeth, but before he had time to wash his face, he sneezed twice in succession, which made him wonder if he caught a cold because he was too busy covering Jiang Ran in bed last night.
At this moment, Jiu'er dragged Jiang Ran into the house, who had just finished washing, looked outside the house warily, and then closed the door.
"Jiu'er, what on earth are you going to do?" Jiang Ran looked at the little girl in front of him in confusion.
Jiu'er, however, glanced back and forth at the two of them with a "I know everything" look, and finally stopped at Tang Ji. He crossed his arms across his chest and said seriously: "Mr. Tang, when do you plan to marry my lady?"
Tang Ji was a little confused by his sudden question and couldn't help but froze in place.
Doesn't the time when he marries Jiang Ran depend on when she is willing to marry him?
Seeing Tang Ji turn his attention to himself, Jiang Ran couldn't help but cough slightly and pinched Jiu'er's arm: "Jiu'er, what exactly do you want to say?"
Seeing that Tang Ji did not express his attitude as quickly as possible, Jiu'er pinched his waist with one hand and pointed at Jiang Ran's belly with the other hand, and said seriously: "Miss is pregnant with your child. If you don't want to take responsibility, I will
Take the lady away so that you can never find her and the child again!"
Just at this moment, Li Yu rushed in from outside the room. He happened to hear such explosive news. He looked at Tang Ji in shock. After coming back to his senses, he waved his hand and moved back: "I don't know anything.
If you didn’t hear me, keep going!”
"Stop!" Jiu'er dragged him in, closed the door again, stared at Li Yu closely, and made a gesture of wiping his neck: "Your Majesty, if you spread this secret, be careful...
....”
Li Yu quickly raised his hand and promised: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. Tang Ji, Tang Ji, I'm not telling you, you should be careful, but now that things have happened, for now, let's let it go
You'd better get married as soon as possible, otherwise you can't let Sister Jiang marry you with a big belly, otherwise people will laugh at you!"
Jiang Ran had already lowered his head with a red face.
The corner of Tang Ji's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? I didn't touch her at all, where did the child come from?"
