Chapter 399 Shouting about this matter
Since they entered the Imperial College, the brothers have all worn a handkerchief and are gradually changing their habits.
"Baby!" At this time, Zheng Xingguang climbed onto the carriage and got in.
He noticed that something was wrong with Mu Baobao and asked with concern, "Baby, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Baobao pouted, very unhappy, "It smells too good, it makes my nose uncomfortable."
Zheng Xingguang had long been accustomed to it, after all, he had been exposed to it since childhood. "It doesn't seem that fragrant, maybe you're not used to it."
"That's how young ladies from these big families are. They have to dress up properly when they go out."
"Baby, I'll take you inside first and ask the coachman to park the carriage."
Mu Pingping did not refuse. His sister was feeling too uncomfortable and couldn't stay here for too long.
With Zheng Xingguang leading the way, the group entered the Rong family easily.
There were more guests in the Rong family, and ladies, young men and women from various families could be seen everywhere, each of them dressed up carefully.
So much so.
"A-choo! A-choo!" Mu Baobao kept sneezing, making her eyes full of tears.
"Brother, my nose hurts so much."
It smelled so good, she couldn't handle it.
Mu Pingping picked her up, gently covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and said to the servant who was leading the way.
"Could you please take us to a less crowded place? My sister isn't feeling well."
The servant leading the way made a gesture of invitation and led Zheng Xingguang and his group to a lotus pond.
This place is a bit remote and far from the banquet hall, so there is no one here and no cloying smell of rouge and powder.
"Baby, are you feeling better?" Mu Pingping put down his hand and asked.
Mu Baobao took a deep breath and smiled again, "Brother, I'm fine. My nose doesn't hurt so much anymore."
Mu Pingping and the others felt relieved.
Mu Pingping put Mu Baobao on the ground, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then wiped her nose.
"Let's stay here for now and go over later."
He really didn't expect that the baby would have such a big reaction to rouge and powder.
Zheng Xingguang was somewhat dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the Rong family. "It's not a good party. Let's leave later to prevent the baby from feeling uncomfortable."
Can't those ladies put on less rouge and powder?
Look how miserable the baby is.
Mu Pingping shook his head. "Baby is looking forward to the food at today's banquet and doesn't want to leave."
The baby has been looking forward to this for a few days, and she won't go back until she has had enough.
Mu Baobao was squatting on the ground, rubbing his little nose from time to time, and obviously didn't listen to the conversation.
Her attention was on the lotus flowers in the lotus pond. Grandma said there were lotus roots under the lotus flowers.
Lotus root is delicious, whether eaten raw or stir-fried.
I just don’t know if the lotus roots from the Rong family can be dug.
"Baby, do you like lotus flowers?" Zheng Xingguang noticed her eyes.
Mu Baobao said casually, "No, I want to eat the lotus root under the lotus flower. It's delicious."
Zheng Xingguang, “…”
Should I say, this is a real baby? All he thinks about is eating.
"Baby, those are lotus flowers for appreciation. There are no lotus roots underneath."
This kind of lotus is specially cultivated, and there is no possibility of lotus root underneath.
When Mu Baobao heard this, he was very disappointed. "There's no lotus root! I thought there was lotus root to eat."
Zheng Xingguang didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
In the past, the Mu family didn’t have a good life in the village, so it was normal for the baby to think about food.
But the Mu family is living a good life now, why is the baby still thinking about eating?
The children didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not. They just sat on it and talked.
Mu Baobao was still staring at the lotus flowers, his mind full of where to find lotus roots to eat. The crispy and sweet lotus roots were so delicious.
When a few people were idle, they suddenly heard low voices, which attracted the attention of several children.
"Just do as I tell you and put this medicine in the cup of water that Prince Rong drinks from. After that, I will redeem you and give you a sum of money."
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter."
"Don't be careless. There are many guests coming today, and many young ladies are eyeing the position of Madam Rong. I can't let them succeed."
"Once the matter is settled, the Duke and his wife will definitely allow the Crown Prince to marry you for the sake of the family's reputation and the Crown Prince's future."
"Okay, go do it quickly, I'll go this way."
After a while, the footsteps became farther and farther away.
"The Rong family of the Dingguo Mansion is really interesting." Zheng Xingguang had experienced a lot since he was a child, so he knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.
None of Mu Pingping's children understood.
"Are you trying to harm Prince Rong? How?"
"What does 'raw rice is cooked' mean? Does it mean cooking? Is cooking necessary to be so mysterious?"
The corners of Zheng Xingguang's mouth twitched, "...He wants to harm someone."
"Baby, are you feeling better? We need to go find Madam Dingguo and talk to her about this."
When Mu Baobao heard this, he knew there was something exciting to watch, and he immediately stood up, "Alright!"
"Little brother, let's go!"
It’s exciting, don’t miss it!
Zheng Xingguang had been to the Rong family several times and could find where the banquet hall was without anyone leading the way.
However, Mu Baobao and his children were confused.
After many twists and turns, the places are basically the same.
Is it true that people from a large family won’t get lost if they live in a place like this?
Ballroom.
As soon as Zheng Xingguang appeared, he attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Is Prince Zheng here?"
"Prince Zheng is well."
Zheng Xingguang was too lazy to pay attention to these people. He took Mu Baobao and a few others and walked straight to the wife of Duke Dingguo.
"Madam Dingguo, we just heard something very interesting by the lotus pond."
He glanced at the male and female guests present, and took a closer look at Rong Jing.
Rong Jing's eyelids twitched a few times. Could it be related to him?
Lady Dingguo noticed something was wrong and smiled gently, "I wonder what interesting things Prince Zheng heard?"
Zheng Xingguang raised his voice slightly, "We heard that a certain young lady has stooped to such low status that she wants to drug Prince Rong so that she can become his wife!"
As soon as he said this, one of the ladies looked flustered for a moment.
There was a "wow" sound.
"No, who is so shameless? How could they come up with such a vicious trick?"
"If they succeed, the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, for the sake of its reputation, will at least give this woman the position of a concubine, even if not the position of a wife."
"It's really a disgrace to our legitimate children!"
The faces of Lady Dingguo and Rong Jing changed. They had thought that someone would use shady tricks, but they had never expected someone to use such shady tricks.
Zheng Xingguang continued, "This woman has an insider, a servant of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion."
"Which servant just approached Prince Rong and touched his teacup? This person is the suspect. We can catch that woman through him."
This kind of thing is not easy to investigate privately, so it is better to take this opportunity to make a big deal out of it.
You can find out who is behind the trouble right away.
