The mist was clear and the rain was like weaving threads. In the rain curtain, a slender and delicate maid held a flower folding umbrella to protect the plump princess from the wind and rain.
Tang Mei walked with her head held high and her steps leisurely. Even if the rain got heavier, she was not in a hurry to walk. It seemed that she hoped to let more people see the princess of Dacheng in purple robe on the road.
After putting on this ceremonial robe, Tang Mei had no intention of taking it off again. Wearing it allowed Miss Six to regain the dignity she had lost for half a year.
In the six months after the prince's annulment of the engagement, the pampered Miss Six experienced a completely different life and endured mental pressure that she had never experienced before in her life. Not to mention those who gloated about her misfortune and criticized her in front of her, those who were not as enthusiastic as before
People, their attitude change, has hurt her.
There is an even more sad situation, such as the eighth sister Tang Yun. Regardless of whether Tang Mei is the princess or not, Tang Yun has not changed. But in Tang Mei's eyes, the eighth sister has still changed. In other words, there is nothing wrong with Tang Yun, but
It was Tang Mei's psychological problem that made her depressed, irritable, and manic.
But now everything has passed. Miss Six regained her confidence and her mood improved instantly. Her face, which had been gloomy for half a year, finally turned red.
On the way, Tang Mei found that the umbrella was small and half of Wang Jin'er's body was already wet. She couldn't bear it, so she asked Wang Jin'er to come closer. The proud princess lowered her body and walked hand in hand with her maid, like a pair of sisters.
When Grandma Wang saw this scene, she felt indescribable joy in her heart. She felt that the sixth lady was back again. Originally, her sixth lady not only had a manic and irritable side, she also had a kind side.
Careful people also discovered that the current princess of Dacheng was different from the arrogant princess before. After this setback, she became less domineering. On the contrary, she began to imitate Tang Kuan's combination of soft and hard tactics.
It is true that irritable people are actually more emotionally fragile. Their rage is sometimes motivated by the instinct of self-protection. To protect the body, protect the reputation, and protect the fragile mind.
Maybe some people hide their emotions very well, but Miss Six is not a person who is good at hiding their emotions, but she knows how to learn now, which is an improvement in itself.
When they returned to the small building, they quickly changed their clothes and asked the maid to hang up the slightly wet ceremonial robe. Tang Mei also specifically warned not to hit it with a mallet for fear of damaging it.
Wang Jin'er joked, "Hey, my lady, you can rest assured. In my heart, these clothes are more tender than a baby's face, but I don't dare to use force."
Grandma Wang scolded, Silly Nier, you are calling me Princess, and you are not allowed to call me Miss again!
After putting on light clothes, Tang Mei looked in the mirror and arranged her hair accessories, and asked her uncle if he was back. The dry and thin maid Tang Ting said that her uncle had not come back, so Tang Mei asked Tang Ting to go down.
"Princess, the slave family heard from Mrs. Cao and the Fourth Young Master that they want to decorate the superintendent's house and turn it into the princess's house."
When the word "princess" came up, Grandma Wang had a happy expression on her face, as if she couldn't say enough, it appeared several times in one sentence.
Tang Mei didn't say anything, and Grandma Wang added: "Besides, the old lady said, since the emperor has made the decision, we will write a letter of divorce and let Su Ping go home, and we will choose a good man as our son-in-law. The emperor also said
, No matter he is a prince, general or minister, as long as our princess likes it, we will point it out to the princess."
Tang Mei sighed: "Don't you know Zhao Tian yet? What he said was just torturing people. I am the princess of a powerful family. I can't get married, so I can only recruit a wife. He asked me to choose princes and generals.
Prime Minister, but those princes, generals and ministers all have families, should they be allowed to divorce their wives and abandon their families to marry into a new wife? If there are such people, I will still look down on them. I have already considered it. Since I have a fate to worship the person named Su, maybe this
It’s God’s will.”
Grandma Wang squinted her eyes as she savored Tang Mei's words. Obviously there were loopholes in Tang Mei's words, because she deliberately avoided those princes and generals who had not yet married.
What does she mean when she talks like this?
Grandma Wang had an idea in her mind, she shook her head with pretense of regret, and nodded with pretense of relief: "Who says no? Even princes and generals are not as good as the prince, let alone the emperor. Since you missed it, this is God's will
.When other people’s daughters see princes, generals, and ministers jealous, it’s because they are humble. But our princess is a second-grade Dacheng princess herself, who else should she cling to? In the eyes of the slave family, even if she chooses the princes, generals, and ministers
, they may not live a happy life. Moreover, those people are easily involved in officialdom disputes, even party disputes and throne battles, and they may be dead. On the contrary, they are not as good as our little son-in-law, who is good-looking and has martial arts skills.
Okay, and he's quite humane, and he doesn't look like he's only eighteen years old."
"How can I tell that he's a humane person?" Tang Mei put down the small mirror: "I'm almost pissed off by him, but he's still a humane person?"
…
Pingkangfang, Jiren's small wooden building, the sound of wind and rain can be heard outside the window.
"It's strange. I've searched all over, but why can't I find her household registration?" Mei Ran said, staring at Ji Ren's wardrobe.
Su Ping was still checking the body: "Did you find any gold or silver?"
Mei Ran shook his head: "Not to mention gold and silver, I don't even have any decent clothes."
Su Ping said: "But I think this is not a homicide caused by burglary, but a deliberate murder. It may be related to Huang Bingxuan."
Mei Ran walked to the body and sighed: "Huang Bingxuan is still in prison and still has such power? I really underestimate him."
Su Ping squatted on the floor and said nothing.
Mei Ran asked himself again and said: "He still has ten years in prison. If his case is revealed again, he will probably be beheaded. Of course, use as much force as you want."
Su Ping raised his head and said, "But I heard that his family is not a traditional official family. Once a person like him falls, it will basically be the result of the tree falling and the hozen scattered."
Mei Ran tilted her head: "What do you mean..."
Su Ping wiped her hands with the hem of the deceased's skirt: "There may be someone else involved in this case, and if this person knows about it, she shouldn't know about it."
Mei Ran said quickly: "Why didn't you silence me in the first place?"
Su Ping answered without thinking: "The case was suppressed at first, and the trouble was gone. But now the Ministry of Punishment wants to overturn the case, and the trouble is coming again."
Mei Ran stood there holding her shoulders and said nothing.
Su Ping pointed to the body and said to Mei Ran: "You go out first."
"Why?"
"I want to check it in depth."
Mei Ran frowned: "Why, am I delaying you here?"
"No." Su Ping lifted the hem of the corpse's skirt and a smirk appeared on his lips.
Mei Ran was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, rolled her eyes and walked away.
Mei Ran simply walked downstairs and listened to Su Ping clanging and clanking upstairs. She didn't know what she was busy with. Not long after, Su Ping came downstairs with dirty hands: "The killer is a beast."
Mei Ran glanced upstairs with some sympathy in her eyes: "What should we do next?"
Su Ping said: "Usually, criminals have the habit of returning to the crime scene to take a look."
Mei Ran stared at Su Ping: "You want to ambush here?"
Su Ping said: "Let the Red Flower Club come and keep an eye on it. Don't let there be too many people."
"Ye Hanshuang is fine," Mei Ran said, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "But where's the money? We agreed last time to capture Qi Yu and give him the money."
Su Ping found a basin and washed his hands: "I will ask Tang Kuan for it."
Su Ping returned to Qinghuafang and found Tang Kuan. Tang Kuan only gave Su Ping twenty taels of silver. Su Ping thought it was too little, but Tang Kuan said there was nothing he could do. Now the Tang family was short of money. Seeing that Su Ping didn't look good, Tang Kuan
Kuan took another ten taels and said, this is already the most. If it exceeds this number, it is better to send swordsmen from the Tang family to handle the matter.
The rain had stopped, but there were many small puddles left on the ground. Su Ping avoided the puddles and returned to the Duke's Mansion.
Weighing the money in his pocket, he walked towards Qinxiang Xiaozhu in a low mood. When he walked to the door, he found a group of people carrying large and small parcels and gift boxes inside.
Su Ping didn't know those people, so he went to the concierge to have a look and asked Tang Ting, "What are you doing?"
The cute little maid with an oval face and big eyes smiled and said, "Someone gave our princess a gift."
Su Ping asked curiously: "Who and why do you want to give so many gifts?"
The little maid scratched her head and expressed her confusion: "Although I don't know who that person is, judging from his clothes, he should be a young prince." As if to add something, she added: "Prince and Crown Prince."
According to the provisions of "Daliang Rites", the prince's son will be the king of the county in the future. What is the intention of this little prince bringing so many gifts to see Tang Mei?
Su Ping had an ominous premonition.
Although I often persuade myself that this is a fake marriage and everyone is acting, I don’t know when I started to find some family atmosphere here. Although this atmosphere is very weak. The sudden visit of the young prince seems to have made the thin
The atmosphere was broken, making people feel slightly sad.
Su Ping smiled bitterly and strode inside, not avoiding the puddles this time.
Su Ping guessed right. Zhao Lian, the eldest son of King Zhao Changchun of General Jinwuwei, came to propose marriage today. But he didn’t know what unpleasant things happened to him in Qinxiang Xiaozhu, so he walked out of the building with a sullen face.
Yes, they happened to meet Su Ping. The two looked at each other. At that time, Su Ping was walking in the puddle like a river, which made the little prince frown.
In the mid-spring season, the weather is not hot, but the little prince Zhao Lian is holding a silver-rimmed folding fan in his hand in a graceful manner. When he sees Su Ping, he points with the fan: "Stop."
Su Ping didn't know what he was going to do. He only heard the eunuch beside the little prince say in a shrill voice: "When you see the Crown Prince of Qi, the common people will kneel down!"
Su Ping had no intention of kneeling down to him. He stood and asked, "What do you want from me?"
If it hadn't been for the little eunuch yelling that, he wouldn't have knelt down if he didn't. But now that you are asked to kneel and you don't kneel, Zhao Lian got angry and scolded him: "You are so bold! You can't beat me!"
"Looking for a beating!" the little eunuch roared, picked up the fly whisk, and prepared to hit him.
Su Ping looked at the pair of roaring masters and slaves, as well as several armored sword guards with murderous expressions following behind them. At this time, the window on the second floor of Xiaozhu was pushed open, and Tang Mei poked her head out and raised her hand.
Tang Mei threw a round gift bag downstairs and hit it at the little prince's feet. Tang Mei shouted loudly: "Zhao Lian, don't come to my house to show off!"
Then Tang Mei pointed at Su Ping and shouted: "I won't kneel to him. There is no such rule in the Duke's mansion!"
