The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Princess Qingfeng's Mansion. There were two large lanterns hanging high on either side of the gate. You could vaguely see a horizontal plaque hanging above the main door, with the five characters "Princess Qingfeng's Mansion" written on it. At this time, people were running quickly through the gate. Two figures emerged. One stood aside and raised the curtain of the car, reaching out to support Su Xingran's arm. The other immediately lay on the ground and used his back as a step stool for her to get out of the car.
Su Xingran easily grabbed the arm that was stretched out into the car, turned around and bent down and stepped on the bench beside the car to get out of the car. Just as the bench was about to get up, Su Xingran turned around and said, "There is also a prince-in-law in the car!" Hearing the sound, he quickly fell to the ground again.
Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He had only seen such scenes in later costume dramas. Using someone as a stool was something he was very resistant to anyway. What's more, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly where the stool was. It was a boy or a girl. If it was a man, he would feel better. If it was a young woman, let him step on her back and get out of the car. That was absolutely unacceptable, because he, Chen Xiaomu, had never bothered to bully a weak woman.
Chen Xiaomu hesitated in the car. He had already reached the gate, but Su Xingran wondered why he didn't get out of the car. She had to go back again, walked to the car and asked, "Husband, what are you doing in the car?" "
Chen Xiaomu pointed to the human stool lying beside the car and said, "Just let her get up. I can just jump out of the car myself."
"No." Su Xingran shook his head and said, "The frame is so high, what should I do if my foot sprains?"
"No, I'm tall and I can go down as soon as I put my feet up." Chen Xiaomu insisted.
"Husband." It's better not to waste time. Now that it's already late, get off the car and go home to rest. " Su Xingran advised softly.
Seeing that Su Xingran still didn't understand what he was thinking, Chen Xiaomu suddenly said angrily: "There are people getting off the meat stool in front of a living person. This is insulting other people's personality. Do you understand?"
su The prince grew up in the palace, has he never encountered these things?
Seeing Su Xingran stunned and silent, Chen Xiaomu stretched his head out of the car and said to the meat stool lying on the ground: "You stand up, I can get down by myself."
Unexpectedly, the meat stool actually begged with a cry: "Prince-in-law, please step on the slave's back and get off the bus! This is the princess's grace to the slave."
Sure enough, it was a woman's voice. Chen Xiaomu estimated from the beginning that apart from the princess's bodyguard, Su Xingran's princess mansion would not use male servants. However, judging from the woman's voice, she was not a strong person. Now Chen Xiaomu I couldn't get my feet off anymore, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing this situation, Su Xingran sighed and said softly to the woman who was lying on the ground as a meat stool: "You stand up first and let Mr. Fu Ma get out of the car on his own." "
Unexpectedly, the woman lying on the ground was very stubborn. She said to Su Xingran: "Princess, this is a slave's responsibility. If you don't do it well, I will have no shame in staying in the princess's house anymore!" "
After hearing what the woman said, Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but said sadly in his heart: "Look at how far this evil feudal society has brainwashed people. Those who treat themselves as cows and horses don't even have the personality to be human, and they still think they are right." It’s the right thing to do!”
"Husband, you'd better get out of the car as soon as possible." Su Xingran lifted the car curtain and said in an almost begging tone: "It's freezing cold today. The maid will get sick from the cold if she lies on the ground all the time."
Chen Xiaomu gritted his teeth and thought: "Okay, you can't blame me for being a bitch." He stretched out one foot first and tentatively stepped on the maid's back. The maid lay there motionless, waiting for his second foot. Stepping on it again, the maidservant's body trembled very obviously. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaomu did not have the Qinggong as high as Wei Yuxin to fly down, but he still imitated Wei Yuxin and stepped on the maidservant's back. He jumped down quickly and stumbled as soon as his feet touched the ground. But Su Xingran pulled him behind him and he almost fell to the ground.
This frightened the maid who was lying on the ground. She hurriedly got up and ran over to help her, her little face turned white with fear.
Chen Xiaomu quickly waved his hand and comforted her and said, "It's not your fault, it's my own fault for being a little impatient."
Su Xingran came up and took Chen Xiaomu's arm, and said softly: "Husband, let's go into the house, it's too cold outside." Chen Xiaomu glanced at the maid next to him who was shivering either because of their thin clothes or because of fear, and turned to ask Su Xingran said, "Princess, Madam, do you have any money with you?"
Su Xingran was startled and asked in confusion, "Husband, we are already at the door of the house. What do you want the money for?"
"I want to reward her with some money." Chen Xiaomu pointed to the maid who was shaking all over.
"Prince Prince Consort, I don't want any reward for you." Upon hearing this, the maid hurriedly waved her hands and declined incoherently.
Chen Xiaomu's face turned slightly cold and he reprimanded: "How dare you refuse the silver reward that the master gave you?"
"Forget it, husband, Xiaoyun has just been here two days, so don't scare her." Su Xingran persuaded while dragging Chen Xiaomu into the gate of the princess mansion. When she reached the door, she dressed like a servant who was bowing to her. The man said, "Go and tell Eunuch Wei that the consort will reward the maid Xiaoyun with five taels of silver, and ask him to hand it to Xiaoyun quickly." "
The servant bowed his head and cupped his hands, "Here, Your Highness the Princess." He turned around and went to Eunuch Wei to deliver the order.
The two of them held hands, and as soon as they walked into the gate of the princess palace, they saw a young eunuch and four maids with lanterns in their hands coming towards them. When they came closer, the young eunuch and the four maids bent down to salute and said in unison. : "I've met Her Highness the Princess, I've met the Prince Consort!" Su Xingran waved her hand and said softly, "That's all." Then the four maids stood on both sides respectively, leaving a way in the middle, and the little eunuch held her hand in his hand. With a gentle flick of his whisk, he automatically walked ahead to lead the way.
Su Xingran's Princess Qingfeng's mansion is really big. Chen Xiaomu has gained some experience. He had seen the mansion of Zhang Yong, the former magistrate of Xinjing City, and he felt that it was already quite a private mansion. But now with Su Xingran, Princess Qingfeng's mansion Compared to the restroom, it's not bad. After walking for a long time, I finally saw a huge screen wall lying horizontally with various patterns embossed on it. Because it was too dark, Chen Xiaomu couldn't see clearly what was engraved on it. Funny, but he could still clearly see the two giant characters "Qingfeng" in the middle of the screen wall. He originally thought that after turning around the screen wall, he would reach the resting place, but he didn't know that behind the screen wall was another door with cornices and brackets. There was already a person standing in front of the door. A woman wearing a green skirt, an official hat with wings spread on her head, and dressed as a female official was waiting here with a lantern in her hand. At this time, the little eunuch who was leading the way turned around and bowed to the two of them before quickly retreating to the roadside, standing at the door. The female officer waiting in front came up to welcome the two of them as they entered the second door.
Inside the second gate is another world. Facing it is a large pool with an area of more than ten acres. There is a pool in the pool that is not very high. It looks dark and has a few small trees growing. I don't know whether it is a mound or a hill. The black shadow of the rockery was exposed above the water, and a nine-curved covered bridge made of wood meandered across the water. On both sides of the bridge, there were female soldiers wearing armor and holding Mo Dao at their waists standing guard.
As soon as he stepped onto the covered bridge, Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but complain: "If I had known that it would be so troublesome to go back to the Princess Mansion, I wouldn't have come back!"
Su Xingran glanced at him and said with a smile: "You are my husband and the consort of Zheng Guo. If you don't go back to the Princess Mansion, where do you plan to go back?"
''this,……! "Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. He really didn't know how to answer Su Xingran's question, but changing the subject was always his strength. He suddenly said: "Princess Madam, how did you know that I was in Dewei Building? "
''What princess? Su Xingran said angrily: "Didn't you want to call me wife a long time ago?" From now on, just call me wife in the princess mansion. Isn’t it too outrageous for you to always call me princess between you and me? "
"Okay, okay! I will call you wife from now on." Chen Xiaomu nodded in agreement. In fact, he himself felt that the title of princess and wife was indeed a mouthful.
''but! Su Xingran thought deeply: "You can't shout like that in front of your father and mother!" Otherwise, how about you just call me by my name? "
''I will obey my wife's orders. "Chen Xiaomu cupped his hands to Su Xingran and replied with a playful smile.
Su Xingran rolled her eyes at him and asked angrily, "Husband, how on earth did you escape from the kidnappers? Last night, my uncle led the troops and almost searched the whole city, but he couldn't find you?"
Chen Xiaomu smiled bitterly and said: "Don't say that uncle has searched the whole city. Even if he digs three feet into the city, he probably won't be able to find me, because I'm not in the city at all!"
"Then where were you last night?" Su Xingran asked strangely.
"Alas!" Forget it, Chen Xiaomu sighed and said, "Do you believe me that I spent the night in the wilderness?"
''Oh, doesn't this kidnapper even have a place to stay? "Su Xingran asked in surprise.
''What a place to stay, these people are so poor that they almost have to eat their shit, and they still have money to find a place to stay! "Chen Xiaomu cursed angrily.
"Then they didn't beat you, right?" Su Xingran suddenly stopped, grabbed Chen Xiaomu and looked at him carefully.
Chen Xiaomu stretched out his hand and stamped his foot again, bragging: "She wants to hit you because of your talent, but she has to be able to do it?" "
Su Xingran frowned and asked worriedly: "I heard Lu Yi come back and say that you were kidnapped by an extremely ugly woman. She didn't do anything indecent to you, right?"
Chen Xiaomu thought to himself: "You still use her to molest me! I want to molest her! Unfortunately, Wei Yuxin's stinky bitch is too good at martial arts, so I don't dare to do it. It would be nice if I could take advantage of her words." ." But on the surface, he still boasted to Su Xingran: "Don't worry, wife, just because of your husband's sharp tongue, she wants to take advantage of me, and I won't let her take advantage of it easily, but she I trained him docilely overnight, and he sent me back unscathed this morning."
Although Su Xingran was a little skeptical, she saw that her husband was jumping up and down in front of her, and he didn't look guilty at all, so she nodded convincingly. She warned: "Husband, now that my mother has assigned Sister Xingchen to you, you can't do anything outside." You can’t do anything that would be sorry to our sisters!”
Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but feel cold when he heard this. He remembered that Ximen Ruoen once told him that in this world, men can marry as many wives as they like, and they don't have to get the consent of their own wives. Now that he heard Su Xingran warned himself so carefully, wasn't this just a joke? It seems that I was deceived by the little girl Ximen Ruoen's movie.
''Husband, why did you suddenly become silent? "Su Xingran couldn't help but asked nervously when he saw Chen Xiaomu suddenly became silent.
"Oh, oh!" Chen Xiaomu replied in a panic: "I'm wondering how you and Prime Minister Wei knew that I was in Deweilou."
"Oh, it turns out it's because of this!" Su Xingran breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sweet smile: "It was when Lu Yi went to hand over Zhang Yong's mansion that he met the ugly woman who kidnapped you last night. I heard that she was in Zhang Yong's mansion. He also killed a lot of zombie-like Jianghu people there. Later, when the woman asked him to guard the door, he and Xinjing Tongjian Jia Gui were able to escape and come back to report. We guessed that you were still hidden in the city by the woman, so we I quickly mobilized the spies from the Imperial City Department, the scouts from the Royal Forest Army, and the detectives from the Xinjing Prefecture, and began to conduct a secret investigation throughout the city. I soon found out that you were reciting poems against a group of young ladies in the Dewei Building. ! It was such a fun time." Su Xingran said and couldn't help but glare at Chen Xiaomu.
