Chapter 55 (This year I promise to give you an unforgettable
. She was about to shrink back into the water and soak for a while, when the door was suddenly pushed open. Chen Jingzong neatly came in, pulled off the towel hanging beside him, came to the bathtub,...since the two imperial envoys were sent to Lingzhou City, the people outside Lingzhou City seemed to be heading for the Spring Festival ahead of time.
the imperial messengers borrowed the governor's office, and after the trial of the king of Xiang retried the steward, bodyguard, boy, and servant girl of the palace, the king of Xiang refused to plead guilty, and the confession of the people who helped him to do evil was used as evidence. Coupled with the fact that the son of King Xiang was still in the hands of Jin Yiwei, the mouth of the king of Xiang was only hard for a day and a night. From the next day, under the heavy pressure of a large number of witnesses and material evidence, the king of Xiang was willing to confess anything.
it's just that he committed so many sins that the imperial messengers tried them one by one for four days and four nights.
on the morning of April 14, Shi Yao and Zheng Hong finally came out of the governor's mansion and came to Ningyuan to see the princess.
in just a few days, Huayang found that both of them were haggard and black around their eyes, which was enough to prove that they had stayed up late to try the case.
"adults, thank you for your hard work. Sit down and talk."
the servant girl also served tea.
Shi Yao and Zheng Hong saluted their thanks. After sitting down, Shi Yao first said, "Princess, you have sued the King of Xiang on 17 counts. The King of Xiang and his henchmen have all pleaded guilty. The minister and others have sent the files to the capital in a hurry to submit the emperor's verdict. Once you go back, you will know the result in about ten days."
Huayang did not see a look of joy, but instead looked sorry: "the King of Xiang is my uncle. I can't bear it when I have come to such a situation today."
Zheng Hong said bluntly: "there is no need for the princess to be sad. The king of Xiang took bribes and perverted the law, causing misery and grievances in the Lingzhou area, which not only violated the ancestral precepts of the enfeoffment king, but also failed the emperor's kindness to him. In the royal clan, the common people are sinners at dawn. No matter how the emperor punishes them, they deserve it."
Shi Yao: "Lord Zheng is right, and ask the princess to take care of her health. Don't worry about it."
Huayang sighed, "all right, but the young son is innocent. If there are still young clans in the royal house, the adults should tell the guards to take good care of them until the will of the father and emperor arrives."
the two imperial messengers left the table at the same time and said, "Princess mercy is indeed a blessing for the clan and the people."
Huayang smiled and told them to go back to the post house and have a good rest.
Wu Run sent the imperial messengers out, and Huayang no longer had to hold the princess's shelf and took the servant girls back to Qifeng Hall.
Chaoyun is jubilant: "now that the King of Xiang has pleaded guilty, the emperor will not forgive him lightly. Finally, the dust has settled, and the princess can celebrate her birthday well."
Huayang is of little interest: "every year we celebrate our birthdays, but they are nothing but those tricks. They are already bored."
Chaoyue: "Princess, this is your second birthday after you got married. Last year, we were buried in time for Mrs. Chen. Not long after we arrived in town, that time was basically perfunctory. This year we have to do something more grand."
Huayang shook his head and said, "No, the King of Xiang is my uncle after all. Their whole government is waiting for the will to be issued, but we are singing and dancing, so we inevitably have the intention of gloating. Even if we think so, we can't let people talk."
"Ah, are we going to muddle through again this year"
Huayang did not expect anything, and naturally she would not be disappointed. Her birthday was only a small matter. The King of Xiang was going to be convicted, and the court was short of a big beetle. This alone was enough for her to be happy for the whole year.
Chaoyun and Chaoyue hold grievances for the princess. When the princess is not married, the emperor and his wife have to make arrangements for their birthdays and make them lively and joyous. How can they be deserted as soon as they leave the palace
when Chen Jingzong came back in the evening, Chaoyue stopped him outside Qifeng Hall and asked quietly, "do you know what day it will be four days later"
it is strange that Chen Jingzong doesn't know.
before her birthday last year, his mother specially called him over and stuffed him with a piece of unicorn jade, which could be divided into two pieces, one unicorn and one Lin.
(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});
according to her mother, this was a dowry given to her by her grandmother. She didn't want to break up with the Don and kept it as a family heirloom waiting to be passed on to her son daughter-in-law.
it's just that there are more sons and one heirloom is not enough, so the mother changed her mind and decided to keep it for herself.
I didn't expect that the youngest son was lucky enough to marry a princess's daughter-in-law. The princess had never seen anything, and it was difficult for his son to show his intention as a birthday gift, so he simply gave him the family heirloom and let him give it to the princess as a gift for his first birthday as a sign of solemnity.
since his mother had thought it through for him, Chen Jingzong could not think of a better birthday gift than the pair. On the morning of April 18 last year, he gave her the jade dress.
as a result, the princess of the golden branch and jade leaf is not rare at all, no matter whether the jade dress can be divided into two pieces, take a look at it, say thank you faintly, and let the servant girls take it into the box.
this year, on that rest day at the end of March, because of what happened to the King of Xiang, their husband and wife, as well as their elder brother and sister-in-law, did not return to their ancestral home. A few days later, their mother even sent a servant girl over to remind him that she was going to celebrate her birthday again, and the gift had to be prepared in advance!
is this his wife or his mother's wife
in the face of Chaoyue's question, Chen Jingzong thought for a moment and said, "it's time for the princess to be born."
there was a smile in the eyes of the morning moon. Although the horse master was rough, he remembered the princess's birthday, so he was still a good horse.
"the princess has no intention of making a big deal. What does Ma Ke think" The princess failed to celebrate her birthday last year, but this year it's time to have a little fun, even if it's just in Ningyuan. "
Chen Jingzong: "it should be so, but I am rude, and I don't know what the princess likes. You've been waiting by her for so many years. I'll leave it to you. Let me know in advance where I need to cooperate."
Chaoyue: "how can that be you are the dearest person around the princess now. You must make up your mind. No matter how well we prepare, the princess is just watching the show, and there is nothing to be happy about."
Chen Jingzong:.
he didn't even decide what to give her as a gift, and let him figure out how to celebrate her birthday.
Chen Jingzong wanted to refuse, but she thought of how thin and sad she was when she first arrived at the Chen family's ancestral house last year, so she had to agree.
when he went to bed at night, he hugged Huayang and asked, "is it time for your birthday"
Huayang raised eyebrows: "did Chaoyun tell you that"
Chen Jingzong: "can't I remember it myself"
Huayang: "OK, just as you remember, but the time is not right, you do not fuss, I am not in the mood to listen to the play and music."
Chen Jingzong's early trick team ruled it out. At that time, the opera voice came from Ningyuan, and the people thought that their husband and wife were looking forward to the bad luck of the King of Xiang.
"how do you spend your birthday before you leave the palace" Chen Jingzong asked, hoping to gain some experience.
Huayang thought about it and said, "it was all arranged by the queen and father, or invited the ladies of the capital to the palace to attend the peony feast, or held a lantern show at night, or asked the opera team to arrange several scenes. In one year, the palace set off fireworks for a whole hour."
Chen Jingzong: "No wonder you are so precious. It turns out that you are really raised by silver."
Huayang gave him a good pinch.
Chen Jingzong: "even if I want to help you run it, I don't have that much money, unless they learn from Xiang Baoshan and then be maimed by the Don or destroyed by you."
Huayang: "I didn't ask you to do it either. don't listen to them booing at Chaoyun."
Chen Jingzong: "do you still want the birthday gift"es and approached Huayang and complained, "Auntie, that girl was also from the town. A few years ago, the fourth uncle seemed to have helped her, so she came over and asked if the fourth uncle remembe...
