Chapter 113 Returning from defeat 1

Xia Mengning and Changsun Yun returned to Zhuzhi Garden and healed their wounds again. Several people didn't stop until the morning.

Xia Mengning herself did not have much damage, but the deepest injury was Jiu'er, who was stabbed for her. Fortunately, Changsun Yun brought a good golden sore medicine and temporarily stopped Jiu'er's injury.

The next day, early in the morning, Xia Mengning first went to see Jiu'er and took the pulse for her. Then she went to Yong'an Hall with Zhulian to say good regards.

Xia Chuanyuan didn't know what happened last night, but Xia Mengning deleted the following things and just told Xia Chuanyuan about her attack.

"What a bold!" Hearing Xia Mengning's words, Xia Chuanyuan was immediately furious. "This man is too bold to put his hand into the Prime Minister's house!"

After saying that, he asked, "Where did you hurt?"

Xia Mengning shook her head, "Fortunately, the prince passed by and saved me, but my girl Jiu'er blocked a knife for me. Now she is still lying **. I don't know when it will be better."

Xia Chuanyuan listened and said, "You girl is a protector. It's hard for her to have this kind of heart."

As the two were talking, the little sixth son came in and said happily, "Master, Miss San, Euke Su in the palace came and said that there was a reward from the emperor."

Xia Chuanyuan was overjoyed and immediately said, "Okay, you go and treat it first. We'll go right away."

After saying that, the two walked to the front hall. When Duke Su saw Xia Chuanyuan and Xia Mengning, he quickly arched his hand and said, "I have just met the Prime Minister and Miss San!"

Xia Mengning was slightly blessed, which was a gift.

Xia Chuanyuan smiled and said, "Age-e-law Su is a busy person. How can he come to the house when he has time?"

Su Pu smiled and bent down and said, "The third lady in the house saved the empress dowager yesterday. The emperor said that he asked me to send some gifts to the third lady. In addition, there is also a decree for me to announce it on my behalf!"

Hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan quickly said to Xiao Liuzi, "Why don't you hand over the people in the house here? Hurry up!"

Xiao Liuzi took the order. After a while, everyone in the house came. Xia Mengning saw Xia Mengyou with a blank face and couldn't help sighing in her heart. It was not that she didn't hate her, but that she felt that there was no mother's child. After all, she was pitiful. Looking at her current appearance, she seemed to be stupid.

When Su Pu saw everyone coming, he stood up from his seat, walked to the front and coughed, "The imperial edict is coming!"

When everyone heard this, they knelt down on their knees.

"According to the blessing of heaven, the emperor's edict said that Xia Mengning, the third lady of the Prime Minister's mansion, has both virtue and talent, is respectful and modest. She is specially given a marriage with the son of the King of Dingxi. After that, she will have a big marriage. In addition, the biological mother of Xia Mengning, Ge Shi, has a good way to teach her daughter, and specially gives Jin as his wife. Honor this!"

"Little girl Xia Mengning, thank you for your marriage. Long live the emperor!"

"Grassman Ge, thank you for your kindness. Long live the emperor!"

Ge Shi and Xia Mengning thanked him. Su Pu handed over the imperial edict with a smile and said, "The emperor brought a lot of rewards to Miss Xia."

With that, he opened a fold and read aloud, "The emperor gave the third Miss Xia family ten night pearls in the East China Sea, a pair of coral jade pendants, two pigeon blood rubies, a pair of jade Ruyi, a pair of ivory screens, a pair of red gold step shakes, six jade collars, and ten good palace brocades and a hundred taels of gold!"

After a long list of rewards, Xia Mengning had already knelt on the ground to thank her kindness. Su Pu stood up with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Miss San."

Xia Mengning leaned slightly and avoided his gift.

After Su Pu finished speaking, Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly asked, "I don't know if Mr. Su knows the news about the dog?"

Hearing this, Su Pu paused slightly and then said, "Well, I don't know much about the matter of the previous dynasty. The Prime Minister, you'd better ask the emperor in person."

Xia Chuanyuan was stunned and knew that Su Pu would not say too much to himself. At that moment, he changed his mind and said other words, which changed the topic.

After talking, Xia Mengning and Zhulian retreated and walked out of the door of the front hall. Xia Mengning saw Xia Mengran and Xia Zhishen standing outside talking to each other.

Zhulian saw it and said to Xia Mengning, "Miss, Miss Wu must have been waiting here on purpose. If Miss goes over, she may say something about Miss."

Xia Mengning smiled, but did not turn around and continued to walk forward.

Seeing Xia Mengning's master and servant, Xia Mengran's expression did not change much, but said lightly, "Sister, congratulations to the third sister!"

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "I dare not!"

Xia Mengran hooked her lips lightly, but she tried her best to fix her body without trembling. "The third sister is now a noble. A concubine can get married by the emperor and marry her in the royal palace to be a concubine. Even with the fourth aunt, the mother is precious by her son. What else is the third sister afraid to be?"

The sarcasm and jealousy between the tone were naked. Xia Mengning smiled and said, "The fifth sister should know that sometimes there will be life, just like me, but for the fifth sister, don't force it from time to time. My sister advises you to comply with God's will, so as not to force yourself and end up sad. . "

After Xia Mengning finished speaking, the person opposite turned pale in an eye, but Xia Zhishen stood on one side and looked at them with his arms in his arms. He just smiled but did not say anything.

Xia Mengran was angry for a while, so she was relieved. She shook the veil in her hand and said calmly, "The third sister taught me, and my sister kept it in my heart. I only hope that the third sister will bloom and be undefeated every year."

After saying that, he turned around and left with Xiao Lv.

Seeing Xia Mengran leave, Xia Mengning also nodded to Xia Zhishen and was ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhishen said, "The third sister is eloquent. I guess, during my absence, my father valued the third sister so much. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the third sister's clever tongue, right?"

Xia Mengning turned around and looked at the person in front of her with a pair of beautiful eyes. "If the second brother is willing to show his true face earlier, I'm afraid he will be more loved by his father than the eldest brother."

Xia Zhishen pretended not to know, and Xia Mengning smiled and said, "The second brother is deliberately managing his own affairs. My sister dares not say anything, but the second brother is armed with martial arts, but he does not let his father know. The second brother said, if his father knew that you deliberately concealed from him, what would he think?"

Xia Zhishen blinked his eyes, "The third sister is really as careful as her hair."

Xia Mengning smiled and shook her head and said, "I dare not do it. When the second brother thinks he has caught someone else's handle, he still needs to make sure that his tail has been cleaned up."

After saying that, Xia Mengning nodded: "Farewell!" Then he went back to Zhuzhiyuan with Zhulian.

After a few days of insipid days, Ge's status in the house suddenly rose because he was carried to his wife. Fang was sent out of the house. Now the Gu family in the backyard of the prime minister's mansion is dominant. For a while, the wind of the prime minister changed its direction.

Jiu'er's injury is getting better day by day, and she can gradually sit up and lean for a while. Xia Mengning goes to take her pulse every day and check her injury on time.

It's winter, and Ge's stomach is getting bigger day by day. Xia Mengning is more and more careful. She usually runs to Meifang Garden when she has nothing to do, and her life is light and fulfilling.

In the morning, Xia Mengning finished breakfast and played with the newly folded Baimei in the room with Jiuer Zhulian. They saw the thick curtain being lifted open. Wu Qing jumped in and rushed straight to the stove in the middle of the room, panting.

Xia Mengning was about to say a few words to her when she saw that the curtain was lifted again, and Changsun Yun, who was wearing a dark blue mink cloak, came in.

"You..." Xia Mengning was very surprised. Wu Qing squeezed her eyes, rubbed his hands and winked at Jiuer and Zhulian, and the three of them quietly retreated.

Xia Mengning walked down to the small bed, went to Changsun Yun, tiptoed to help him untie his felt hat, and said, "Why are you here? If you are seen, I'm afraid it will cause gossip again."

Changsun Yun smiled, and his cheeks were blown by the cold wind. With such a smile, he felt that he couldn't move.

Xia Mengning looked at his appearance, covered her mouth and smiled, bent down to add a piece of carbon to the stove, poured warm tea and handed it over, "Drink some hot to warm up!"

Changsun Yun took it with a smile and sat aside and said, "I didn't expect you to grow plum blossoms in your yard. I just came from the bamboo forest and thought I was wrong."

Xia Mengning smiled and fiddled with the scattered plum branches on the table. She looked left and right and cut the small branches with scissors before inserting them into the white porcelain bottle.

After finishing it, Xia Mengning raised her head and said, "Why did you come here? What's the matter?"

Changsun Yun held the tea in his hands and bent his lips and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you very much!"

Xia Mengning looked up at Chang Sun Yun's appearance and smiled softly, "When did the prince learn to speak such a smooth tongue? I'm so ashamed!"

Changsun Yun nodded indifferently, "Since the marriage has been given, what is there any shame or shame?"

Xia Mengning didn't say anything, but turned her body slightly. She took out an unembroidered purse from the needle and thread box on the table beside her and embroidered it. Changsun Yun saw that she was ignored, so she had to put down the teacup and flattered her and said, "Okay, I won't say any more."

Xia Mengning looked up at him and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Changsun Yun leaned forward and said, "Do you know that there have always been wars at the border between the Western Regions and our country recently?"

Xia Mengning nodded, "I heard that the deputy general is my eldest brother? What, isn't something going on?"

Changsun Yun shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that the front line has been defeated. Your eldest brother has just been dismissed and recalled by the emperor's uncle to the capital to be the gate guard."

Xia Mengning laughed, and then said doubtfully, "This has been reduced from the deputy general to the gatekeeper. I don't know if my eldest brother will be angry to death after knowing it?"

When Changsun Yun saw her smiling happily, he said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you today."

Xia Mengning was stunned and then realized something. She tilted her head and asked, "Does the emperor think there is fraud in it, so let you go and find out?"

Changsun Yun stretched out his hand to touch Xia Mengning's head and praised, "How smart!"

Xia Mengning dodged his hand and looked solemn. "The emperor must have noticed something. Otherwise, he would not let you go."

Changsun Yun nodded, "Our army has always been victorious in the war with the Western Regions, but all of them have been defeated these times. Uncle Huang has been suspicious."

Xia Mengning thought for a while and said, "Have you found out who it was related to last time?"

Changsun Yun nodded, "It's the wife of the General's Mansion of the Duke of Zhen, that is, the mother of your former direct mother."

Xia Mengning frowned and thought for a moment, "How can she drive the people in the Western Regions, and they are also top masters?"

After saying that, Xia Mengning seemed to suddenly think of something and looked up and said, "Do you still remember what happened to the snake beauty last time? Fang can get the strange spices of the Western Regions, which must have nothing to do with the Duke of Zhen. Now all kinds of signs are pointing to the Duke of Zhen. Why do you think it?"

Chang Sun Yun thought about it for a while before he said solemnly, "I know. I'm afraid this line has been going on under our noses for many days."

Xia Mengning nodded, bit the embroidery thread on the purse with her teeth, carefully wiped the folds on it, and handed it to Changsun Yun and said, "This is very dangerous. Remember not to be stubborn. Be careful in everything!"

Changsun Yun took the purse and saw that the words "peaceful and good wishes" were embroidered on it. It was funny in his heart, but he still took it.

Xia Mengning saw his appearance and said unnaturally, "Why, does the prince look down on such rough embroidery skills? If you don't like it, just give it back to me..."

With that, he stretched out his hand to grab it. Changsun Yun moved his hand away with a smile, took the opportunity to put his purse into his arms, and said with a smile, "When did I say that I didn't like it, but I don't think you like to embroider green bamboo, pine and cypress roc like ordinary women, but you embroidered four words for me. I'm a little surprised."

Xia Mengning curled her lips, "The green bamboo, pine and cypress can certainly show the integrity of the wearer, and the roc spreading its wings is also an excellent meaning, but the root of all this still needs to be safe to enjoy. I embroidered these four words, but I just hope you can always remember everything carefully. In addition, I will pray for you every day. May you be safe. "I mean."

Xia Mengning said, lowered her head, and the gold hairpin in her hair was crooked, and a few strands of hair fell from her neck. Changsun Yun looked at it and only felt more and more pleasing to the eye.

"I will!"

Changsun Yun whispered and reached out to hold Xia Mengning's hand holding the plum blossom branch. The two looked at each other, but it was silent.
