Chapter 95 Haunted(1/2)

Among the list of marriage grants circulating outside, the one with the more familiar pearl flowers is the prince of the Yuhou family. During the Chinese New Year, she once met the prince and looked a bit like Yuhou. She looked very calm even though she was only 14th and 15th.

"How is that princess? Is it worthy of Prince Yu?"

"Why is the princess' daughter not worthy?" Yinhua said and pointed her forehead. "You have just met a few people. Can you tell who is better and who is worse?"

Zhuhua rolled her eyes disdainfully and asked again: "I heard that the princes also came on the day of the banquet. Did you meet? How do you look?"

"Just that." Yinhua said guiltily, embarrassed to tell Zhuhua that she didn't dare to look at their faces because she was too nervous, but she thought their shoes looked pretty good.

Yinhua looks very fierce on her own acre of three-point ground, but it is actually just a flower-like air, which is fine if it scares people once or twice. It’s ridiculous that there are people outside saying that she is arrogant and buys spicy food. She obviously just pretends to be noble every time she goes out. Where did she see how she buys spicy food?

Jinhua also listened by the side. Seeing that they could no longer talk about anything new, she said, "The banquet is over, don't remember it anymore. Please wait at home for the marriage to be settled."

When Yinhua heard Jinhua talk about marriage, she was still shy, but Zhuhua joked: "When my second sister gets engaged, the eldest sister should get married, right?"

"Yes, when your second sister is about to get married, you will almost be engaged." Jinhua said without changing her face.

"I probably didn't think I was so fast, I was raising it." Zhuhua raised her eyebrows and said.

"Neither shy."

"What's so shameful?" Zhuhua smiled indifferently, and deliberately grabbed Yinhua's sleeve and asked naively, "Good sister, are you saying that you have thought of something that makes you shy?"

Yinhua was speechless for a moment, and her face turned redder. This time, Jinhua stood up at the right time and left without looking back. She didn't want to be entangled by Zhuhua to ask about this.

"You ask my elder sister." Yinhua said quickly, wanting to ask Jinhua for help but saw that she had left without a trace.

"No, I'll be with my second sister, so I'll ask my second sister." Zhuhua kept pestering Yinhua and smiled at her innocently.

"Stop making trouble, you are already 11th, you are also a big girl..."

"Then, what happens if you become a big girl? Will there be more things?" Zhuhua continued to ask, her eyes fixed on her chest. She knew that Yinhua's body had changed and she had a menstrual period not long ago.

"You ask your mother!"

"Mom is busy caring about her intestines. Good sister, just tell me~"

"You are sophisticated, don't do this." Yinhua finally pulled Zhuhua's head away, rushed to the door, tidied up her clothes and pointed at her a few times, and said hatefully: "You have learned all your rules into the dog's belly. If you believe it or not, I will tell my mother to go."

"You go, I ask if I don't understand, what's wrong?"

Naturally, Yinhua could not complain, so she could only stamp her feet in anger. Qinglan just came with someone to bring the refreshment, Yinhua pulled her over and said, "Auntie, if Madam Wang is not here, only you can control Azhu."

"What's wrong?" Qinglan asked inexplicably.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhuhua pouted with an innocent look on her face.

"You..." Yinhua glared at her, "Aunt Qinglan should ask her carefully!"

Before Qinglan could reply, Yinhua walked away quickly. Zhuhua looked at her with amused look and met Qinglan's puzzled gaze.

"What's the delicious food for aunt?"

"I heard that the lady's voice was a little hoarse in the morning, so I stewed the pear soup."

"Is my voice hoarse?" Zhuhua coughed a few times, and then tried it a few times, but it was really hoarse. "Look, be careful at night, don't get caught in the cold again."

"It's good if the girl knows."

Zhuhua has always been sick all these years, and she, who acted as a nanny, was worried that her daughter's health would be bad. If she was spreading, no one would dare to come to propose marriage. In the mansion, Zhuhua and Sun knew about what the monk Baiyi said. After all, Zhuhua and the emperor's aura were in conflict. After all, it was not a good thing to hear Zhuhua and the emperor's aura, but it was not a bad thing. Why was it hit by the emperor's aura? Fortunately, it is common for young children to get sick all the time. Zhuhua suffered hardship when she was a child, and it was normal for her to be weaker.

Among the three ladies, Zhuhua was the youngest and best to be close to her. She was usually studious, so Qinglan took care of her more attentively. She has seen many laughter among her sisters over the years, but there was no time when Zhuhua suffered losses. Besides, the three ladies were all born by the same mother, and even if they suffered losses, they would not hurt their sisterhood. She probably guessed that the three sisters could chat these days, which was nothing more than the marriages of several princes. Now that Chang'an City is talking about these things, it is probably a lively time.

The four princes made a marriage together, which really made everyone curious. The ladies of these families were also discussed thoroughly, which one is better and who is more knowledgeable and most beautiful... As soon as this wave of craze passed, the four princes' wedding dates were also set in turn. Compared with ordinary families in Chang'an City, the princes got married earlier. They usually got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and they had to live in the royal palace outside after marriage. Therefore, after the wedding date was determined, the palaces that the four princes would live in in the future were also given, and they were all very close to the palace city. There were several of them that were the royal palaces of the previous dynasty, and they were always empty after being enfeoffed. Now they need to live there and repair.

In order not to delay the marriage period, these few palaces with little difference were given to the four princes in sequence according to new and old procedures. The Ministry of Works also drew some of the people who built streets in Chang'an City to help the princes repair the palace first. The titles of the four princes were also decided. The fourth prince Yang Fangbo was named King of Chu, the fifth prince Yang Fangzhao was named King of Jiang, the sixth prince Yang Fangxun was named King Ji, and the seventh prince Yang Fang'an was named King Ping.

Taking Zhuque Street as the center line, the palace of the fourth prince and the fifth prince and the second prince Huo Wang Yang Fanghou, who had already left the palace to build a mansion, was on the east side of Zhuque Street, while the palace of the sixth prince and the seventh prince were on the west side of Zhuque Street, and they were next to each other. The two grew up together and had a deep relationship. They were naturally happy that the palace could be together, that is, the palace of the seventh prince was a little older, and bones were cleared out from it during the renovation.

So not long after, rumors about the haunted mansion of Prince Ping spread in Chang'an City. Everyone said that the emperor did not like Prince Ping, so he gave such a mansion.

"Look at how arrogant that Shen Caishu is~" Yinhua covered her mouth and smiled.

A few days ago, she met Shen Caishu at the banquet. As a result, the ladies who had been engaged tried not to go out, at least they would not come to such a banquet specially set up for girls who had not been engaged. However, Shen Caishu has been away from home for many years and has not attended a banquet in Beijing, so she clamored to ask her aunt to bring her to see and enjoy the envy and jealousy of the ladies. Although she is not very favored, she is also a prince. She will be the concubine of the seventh prince soon, and she will always be more glorious than those ladies who have not even found a marriage.

When she saw Yinhua at the banquet, she had to say a few words. Yinhua was not good at talking to her because of the identity of the princess, otherwise how could Shen Caishu say that stupid mouth could surpass her? She was holding her breath these days, but she didn't want to hear such news. Humph, what if she became the princess, it's not certain whether she could live a safe life in the future.

Zhuhua has heard of the filth between Yinhua and Shen Caishu. She has never been biased in helping her, and sometimes she would joke with Yinhua for a few words.

"It's just a house where people have died, and it's nothing."

"What do you know? That house must be haunted."

"Is that true? If we say that, our house will also have to be haunted. I heard that many people died in this house before we moved in." Zhuhua said rudely. No one has ever died in any house. If a person dies, the Taoist priests will be busy to death.

"Nonsense." Yinhua said with a pale face.

"Why are you talking nonsense? If you don't believe me, go and inquire." Zhuhua said with a confident look on her face, but she said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it okay for us to live in the past few years?"

"Yes..." Yinhua nodded vaguely.

Zhuhua held back her laughter and said deliberately: "But, maybe there is really. In July last year, I suddenly heard someone knocking outside the window and asked Qiuyun to open the door and see that there was no one outside, and there was no one walking. You know that the night was so quiet, and if someone walked around, it would definitely be heard. Then Xiaohua didn't know what was going on, so she started shouting at the room. By the way, the next day you complained that Xiaohua was too noisy at night."

“Yes…is it?”

Yinhua seems to remember that something happened. Xiaohua sometimes suddenly screamed at night. She had complained to Zhuhua several times. Zhuhua always said it was because of insects or birds and bats. When she thought about it carefully, it might be because of something else. She heard from the old man in the village that dogs can see things that people cannot see.

"Sister..." Zhuhua lowered her voice and reached out to Yinhua's hand.

"Ah! Ah? What's the matter?" Yinhua was shocked and almost screamed.

"It's okay, I just want to ask if there are any Taoist priests in the Ping Palace? Usually, when you live in such a house, you still have to find a Taoist priest to come and take a look."

"Yes, Taoist priest." Yinhua nodded in agreement, and suddenly asked again: "Did any Taoist priests have visited before we moved into this house?"

"Do you think our father would think of hiring a Taoist priest?"

"Won't."

"Or why you go and ask the executive, maybe he knows."

"Okay, I'll ask." Yinhua immediately stood up and left in a hurry, not finding Zhuhua smirking behind her.

I guess I got a negative answer from the senior manager. In the following days, Yinhua didn't sleep well. I always felt that there was someone outside the door. Zhuhua was scared, so she found a wooden sign carved with a Buddha statue from her private treasure and went to find Yinhua.

"Sister, this is what I asked for from the temple before. I have been put under my pillows for many years. I heard that you haven't had a good sleep. Should you try it?"

"Yes." Yinhua took the wooden amulet and excitedly held Zhuhua's hand and said, "Good sister, you are my dear sister."

Zhuhua laughed dryly with some guilt and said, "Isn't I your real sister..."

The wooden amulet really worked that night. Yinhua slept until dawn and did not have nightmares for a few days. However, Zhuhua had another minor illness a few days later, which made Yinhua feel even more guilty.

"Azhu, is it because you gave me the amulet?"

"No." Zhuhua said confidently.

The amulet was bought at a small stall outside the temple when she and Sun went to burn incense. If Yinhua looked carefully, you would find that the expression of the Buddha statue on the amulet was a bit funny and not too solemn. The pearl flowers were bought because of this. After buying it, they could be placed in a box that specially placed in a bargain she bought from the stall. This is also her future dowry, which can be passed on to her descendants to play or as gifts for children. Anyway, it is not worth it and I don’t feel sorry for giving it.

Seeing that Yinhua's expression was a little heavy, she deliberately comforted her: "Sister, don't worry, I still have many peace talismans that I ask for from the temple."

"Is that true?" Yinhua was relieved immediately and asked, "Are there any? I'll share one."

You are really my own sister, Zhuhua complained in her heart, and she still gave her a peace talisman.

The next day, her illness was cured, and there were more rumors about the Seventh Prince Ping’s Mansion.

Those who were irrelevant were just watching the fun on the side, but they didn't know that the future hostess of Prince Ping's Mansion was really anxious to get angry. Shen Caishu was complacent a few days ago for being the princes. Even though Prince Ping was silent and unpopular in the palace, she had the lowest position in the biological mother among the adult princes, but she could not resist the good looks of her parents. Prince Ping and Prince Ji grew up together and had a deep relationship. Prince Ji liked to play, but was not enterprising but was deeply favored by the emperor. If Prince Ping could win over Prince Ji through Prince Ping, it would be beneficial for Yu Shen's Mansion.

Just thinking about King Ji's energetic appearance, and thinking about King Ping with a cowardly look, Shen Caishu felt a little unwilling to accept it. Since she wanted to win over, why not point her to King Ji directly? King Ping also has a good appearance and can't take advantage of the others. In the future, the four princesses will enter the door at the same time. Wouldn't she be suppressed by them everywhere? That's fine, even the Prince Ping's Mansion is more dilapidated and haunted than other Princes. How can she live? She thought that someone was jealous and deliberately heard the news. After she went to the periphery of Prince Ping's Mansion in person, she found that it was indeed gloomy and crows hovering, which was scary. Does she really want to spend her life in for an unpopular prince?

Shen Caishu looked down on Prince Ping, but she didn't know that Concubine Li Shu didn't like her either. The princess she chose for Prince Ping was not her, but Concubine Shen fucked her and insisted on sending her niece to the palace. Concubine Shen first liked King Ji, and Concubine Shu naturally refused. She said that she was the candidate of the daughter-in-law whom she had already been willing to do so. King Ji was also satisfied and wanted to expose this matter. Unexpectedly, Concubine Shen said that if she could not marry Prince Ji, she would be fine to marry the prince as a concubine.

There was only one vacant position for the prince's concubine. Before this flower-welfare banquet, he handed over to Concubine Xian and said that he had a crush on a fourth-rank official's daughter and wanted to be the concubine. Concubine Xian could not refute the prince's face and gave the concubine the niece of Concubine Shen, who was not against him. Concubine Shen was very angry when she saw that neither of them gave face. Concubine De came forward to make peace and finally gave Shen Caishu to Prince Ping.

Concubine Li Shu naturally knew what Concubine Shen was thinking. Now the four concubines in the palace said that they were the joint commander of the palace affairs, but Concubine Shen was respected. Concubine Xu De always had a good relationship with Concubine Shen, and the two always thought about things together. Concubine Chen Xian and Concubine Li Shu didn't like to be with them. Yang Fangbo, the fourth prince of Concubine Chen, was weak and sickly, and Yang Fangxun, the sixth prince of Concubine Li Shu, had no ambitions and only enjoyed fun. Both of them could not go further and respected the prince whom the emperor valued, and did not want to participate in Concubine Shen's plan. Even if Concubine Shen's niece married Prince Ping, raised by Concubine Li Shu, it was not natural, and could she have lost her wealth and life for her?

"Everyone says that niece Xiao Gu, I want to come to the Shen family and the one in the palace to be not easy to meet, but since the emperor's order to marry has been issued, it is impossible to get married. You should be tough in the future, don't let the Shen family's daughter crawl on the top!" Concubine Li Shu said to King Ping while King Ping and King Ji came to pay their respects.

Although she was not a biological child, she also watched Prince Ping grow up. When she thought that the child she raised was suppressed by Concubine Shen's niece, she couldn't get over it. Concubine Li Shu was worried that he would be led by Shen Caishu in the future. He has always been well-behaved, sensible and even a little cowardly, but she looked a little similar to his short-lived mother. However, his biological mother was not cowardly, otherwise how could she dare to crawl into his bed while the emperor was drunk? After thinking about it, her concern for King Ping was reduced by a little.

"Let me tell me what's going on with the rumors of your palace haunted? Did someone deliberately spread it?"

"No." Ping Wang said with his head down.

"Talk well, straighten your waist, you're almost married, and you're still timid and look like you're so timid!"

"Yes." King Ping thrust his waist, but his head still hung.

Concubine Li frowned, turned to look at her biological son, King Ji, who was looking at the roof. After thinking about it carefully, she said, "Axun, you didn't cause this matter, right?"

King Ji's neck froze, he slowly looked at Concubine Li, and then he leaned over to her with a smile on his face: "Mother is extremely intelligent, and she can't hide anything from you..."

"How is this happening when I don't want to do it!" Concubine Li pushed him away and asked angrily.

"Didn't the seventh brother's mansion take off the bones? The child wanted to check who did it, so he wanted to use the haunted man to cheat people out..."

"You..." Concubine Li Shu didn't know what he was good about.

"Mother, you always say that your son is not doing serious business, and you will only spend money with big money. This time, your son is rarely doing serious business, why are you still angry?"

"I'm not angry~" Concubine Li smiled and asked helplessly: "Where is the person? Have you caught it?"

"Not yet, how can it be so fast? Mother, don't worry, when someone catches it, the rumors about Prince Ping's Mansion will naturally be broken. When the seventh brother moves over, the son will give you a big gift to compensate the seventh brother."
