Chapter 305: She only wants this

Mrs. Marquis Jingnan’s heart was not comfortable with the fact that her husband’s concern had been replaced with his rebuke. How could she still be kind to her concubine’s children in this situation? Moreover, with Yu Qingping in front of her, ruining the family reputation, and even the marriage of her daughter Yu Qingyi, she naturally needed to be doubly vigilant.

Marquis Jingnan entered the palace, as usual, in the Donghua Gate under the horse, with the eunuch to Qianqing Palace road, he looked around, everything as usual. To the Qianqing Palace, five blessings directly led him to the Imperial Study Room, only to see the emperor is behind the imperial case to look through the folders, and raised his hand next to a cup of tea waved at him.

Marquis Jingnan to the front, first from bending down to worship, and then raised his head to go forward: “The emperor urgently called, but what is the important thing?”

“I have heard that the anecdotes about the Eldest Princess have been talked about passionately on the streets again recently, do you know about it?”

Marquis Jingnan nodded, “I have heard about it. Not only are there people talking about it, but a number of theater clubs have opened new plays to catch up with this wave of fervor. Because the dart boat of the Wei Yuan Marquis’ residence was stolen a while ago, the murderer has not been caught yet, so the date when the Wei Yuan Marquis was allowed to return to the capital is imminent, and this past story about the Eldest Princess has also been rehashed. However, public opinion are still toward the emperor, saying that Da Liang’s imperial qi shook the heavens before settling this chaotic river and mountain.”

The emperor drank a mouthful of tea: “I have not asked for the crime, you are quick to absolve them.”

Marquis Jingnan slightly uncomfortable, looked at the emperor, and then hung his head down.

The emperor put the cup down, said: “the eldest princess remnant armor theft, this matter has made a lot of noise, the court must cooperate with the Weiyuan Marquis to investigate the case. Otherwise, the rumors will be unfavorable to the court. It is also easy to chill the hearts of meritorious ministers. –This period of time in the Central Military Governor’s Office is still happy with the work?”

“I try my best to do my duty, I dare not make mistakes.”

“I remember that your title is to pacify the southern border to earn down, Guangxi that battle you were present, and Huo family also has a few old feelings. Wei Yuan Hou returned to the capital, you will be by the Secretary to assist Wei Yuan Hou to handle this case.”

Marquis Jingnan kneels down to receive the decree: “I will assist Marquis Wei Yuan to catch the culprits and recover the relics of Her Highness the Princess.”

The emperor nodded: “Go down.”

……

Marquis Jingnan left the Qianqing Palace, looked up at the sky, and then quickly walked out of the palace back to his home.

Mrs. Marquis Jingnan was still in her daughter’s room, and when she heard that her husband had returned, she hurriedly got up and went back to her room. Seeing the Marquis of Jingnan who is dressing himself, she went up to help: “What did the Emperor say?”

“In these few days, you should make good preparations to welcome Marquis Weiyuan and Lord Yanping back to the capital. The emperor because of my early years with the eldest princess and the old WeiYuanMarquis with the same robe combat, with my full assistance WeiYuanMarquis thorough investigation of the eldest princess remnants of the armor lost case, and so on their siblings into the capital, you and I good for them to receive the wind.”

Mrs. Jingnan Marquis froze for a moment: “Back then, not only the Marquis peer, and Guangping Bo also went, how could the emperor only appointed the Marquis you?”

Marquis of Jingnan to the mirror, the lapel: “This case is not big, not small, the dynasty to send people to assist is justified, but not even send more people to participate together.” Said here, he looked to the lady: “You did not say that the emperor has not been favored us for many days? Now there is a task assigned, what are you still nagging for?”

Lady Marquis Jingnan gathered her colors: “Yes. I will go down and make arrangements.”

Marquis Jingnan watched his wife’s back go away for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.

At this moment, on the stage road, a group of people are just leaving the Cangzhou city gate, facing the sunrise to the north.

Yanping on the back of the date red horse said sideways: “this road half a month day sunny, brother should be glad to listen to my words, halfway abandoned the carriage, instead of driving a horse.”

The young girl’s face is slightly pleased with herself, looking even brighter under the rising sun.

Huo Xiu smiled: “I’m not because you fell off a horse when you were little and cried from fear, afraid that you won’t be able to handle it?”

“That was when I was a child. I’m no longer a child, and with such a valiant father and mother in front of me, how can I still be afraid to disgrace them?”

Huo Xiu’s gaze turned deeper as he reached out and rubbed her hair, “Good child, you have indeed grown up.”

Yanping smiled prettily again, “Let’s hurry up! The empress dowager likes to have a good time, if we run for one more day, we will be able to arrive at the capital before the festival of the seven coincidences to spend the festival with her old man!”

After saying that, she raised her long whip, and her date-red steed immediately carried her away.

Huo Xiu’s mouth said “slow down”, his hands did not stop, the name of the “Night Ne” sweat blood horse immediately also spread legs and galloped up.

……

The fact proves that the theater can also be addictive.

Zhao Su went to the theater for two days in a row, and on the third day was invited to the Cheng family by Mrs. Cheng. After two days of persuasion by Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Zhuyun had calmed down after learning what happened.

After two days of Mrs. Cheng’s persuasion, Cheng Zhuyun had calmed down after learning about the incident. “I’ve tried to persuade her, but she just keeps quiet, which makes people a bit worried. So I can only hope in you, Miss.”

After guiding Zhao Su to the courtyard, she withdrew.

Cheng Zhuyun greeted Zhao Su under the hipped porch, her emotions still looking relatively calm.

“My intention, I think your mother has already told you, the empress dowager will cherish you, I don’t know what you think at the moment?”

Cheng Zhuyun held the cup and said after half a moment of silence, “No matter what I ask for, the empress dowager her old man will grant me?”

Zhao Su paused for a moment, “As long as it is within reason, the Empress Dowager will consider it.”

Cheng Zhuyun slightly raised her head, “I, then, would like to have an errand.”

“…… Ah?”

“I want to be like you, Miss Pixel, and enter the Flower Moon Society as an errand.” Cheng Zhuyun looked at her, his gaze burning with determination.

This answer was really out of Zhao Su’s expectation. In her mind, Cheng Zhuyun was a typical ancient lady of the house, who should be accompanied by poetry and books, and Zhao Su had never thought that she still had a career mindset, so what she had been considering was only her marital destination.

“How, how did you come up with this idea?”

Cheng Zhuyun slowly cast her gaze towards the garden: “Some days ago, my mind was a mess, I couldn’t understand a lot of things, for example, obviously the victim is me, why am I in a quandary, not the murderer of the victim? Why did I lose my marriage contract when I had been dishonored? Why is it that when I have done nothing wrong, it seems as if I am the one who has made all the mistakes?

“I am aggrieved, and I have said many times that I am resigned to my fate, but in my heart I am still not willing to do so. When I think about it, it’s just because I’m a woman. If I were a man, would I need to carry all this?

“I’ve never felt for a single moment that the Flower Moon would be so important, that not only should it exist, but as a woman, I’d have to champion its existence!

“So, I don’t want a gold or silver reward, nor do I want to be appointed in marriage to some powerful family, I just want to be like you, Miss Pixel, and enter the Flower Moon Society to do my part for the women of the world.”
