21. Chapter 21
The people around Li Zhe have changed a lot, and the new maids are much more regular than the previous ones, Li Zhe doesn't have a heart-to-heart with them, and he ignores them when he thinks that he serves them well, and he focuses on studying his own interests and hobbies.
Subconsciously, he knows that his background is ordinary, his intelligence is ordinary, and he can have such a hard-won learning opportunity, he also wants to improve himself, and maybe he also wants to find some hobbies and hobbies to express his feelings, otherwise, it will be so long for the rest of his life, even if there is a plot to pass the time, is it a lifetime of pointing to a plot to live?
The eldest princess saw that he was not as close to the beautiful maid as before, but he was afraid of Yuqiong's affairs, and he couldn't say anything, so she was in a hurry in private, and she didn't go to the palace for a few days.
When I went to the palace again, I heard a big news from the Queen Mother.
"The guards and the palace maids fornicated?"
Li Zhe was shocked, this kind of thing is to put a green hat on the emperor's head, which guard is so bold, besides, is there no palace ban in the palace?
The guards are men, and if they run around in the harem, the emperor's future children will really have to wonder who they are.
"Where is that bold. The eldest princess sneered, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with talking to her son about this kind of topic, and continued, "A little palace maid picked up a piece of embroidered handkerchief, and there were some poems of love and love on it and embroidered names, which made a fuss, who knows who is who." ”
"Isn't it embroidered with a name?" Li Zhe's first thought was the standard pattern of "an arrow piercing the heart", only the kind of person who still writes a single word in the name in his heart can contain so much information at once, and it is not easy to have love and a name.
I thought about it again, this kind of pattern is not popular in this era, so what kind of pattern is so stupid that it is a love poem and leaves its own name at the same time?
Isn't it clear that if you take it out and use it, or give it away, don't you show your own undignifiedness? Isn't this self-ruining reputation? How could anyone do this?
"Do you know who embroidered it?" The eldest princess said this, and didn't say anything more, and finally felt that it was a little inappropriate to talk about these gossips with her son, so she quickly changed the topic and asked Li Zhe how he was doing with the emperor, and what he talked about with Princess Chaoyang.
The mother and son said some miscellaneous things and returned to the house, Li Zhe's curiosity was still there, but he was not very eager to know what had happened, so it took some time to piece together the general story of the incident from everyone's mouths.
In front of the eldest princess said, a little palace maid picked up such an unsightly handkerchief and handed it to the aunt in charge, and someone went to check it later, not as strict as rummaging through the cabinets, but there are always people in the palace who can do the evidence of the crime, and finally found out that it was a handkerchief embroidered by a small palace maid in the palace of Concubine De, and who the handkerchief was going to give to was unknown, because the palace maid committed suicide in fear of crime.
- The thread is broken here.
This kind of thing is not easy to say, the emperor was impatient with this, and directly handed it over to the queen mother to deal with.
The queen mother has not aged these years, and she wanted to show her skills, but this person died, and she couldn't find it anymore, so she held her breath, and finally found a reason to let a large number of palace maids out of the palace, and then disposed of a group of people.
The above can already be regarded as □□ news, but the deeper □□ must not be these, otherwise the eldest princess would not have said that day.
Li Zhe wanted to ask, curiosity is always something that everyone has, but he felt that it didn't seem good for him to pay attention to the emperor's harem like this, so he hesitated and hesitated, and after all, it dragged on until autumn.
Autumn is a good season, if spring is full of vitality and upward, then autumn is the season of harvest, in the era of relying on the sky to eat, anyone should be happy, especially this year, the wind and rain are smooth, all over the country is good news, it is really worthy of praise a holy sage.
The ancients were like this, if the year was good, it must be the emperor's good, if the year was bad, it must be the emperor's stupidity, who made the emperor the son of heaven, the son of heaven, if it was not done well, God would naturally punish him.
Li Zhe knew that this was the divine right of the monarch, and it was a gorgeous coat put on by the emperor for his dominance, so that he could come to the fox and fake the tiger, but the benefits of this are obvious, and the disadvantages are also very obvious.
Think about it, a certain emperor in history seems to have issued several edicts because of this, you say that it is unlucky or not, what does it matter to the emperor when it is windy and rainy in the sky? If the emperor could manage these things, he would have been the Jade Emperor in the sky a long time ago, and he would still be messing around among mortals.
No matter how slandered, this autumn received, it is natural to celebrate, especially after the release of the list, this year's Jinshi have many young talents, many of them are not bad, and they have been targeted by high-ranking families early.
Even Princess Chaoyang, who lives in the deep palace, passed on the word of mouth before the Qionglin banquet and learned a lot of information about this year's young talents, among them, Tanhualang Wang Yanzhao is the most.
Since the selection of Tanhua is not only more important than appearance, Wang Yanzhao's talent is impeccable, the most rare thing is his background, it is the Wang family, although it is not the lineage of the branch, but such a big family, etiquette or something, will definitely throw others down more than eight streets.
Even the royal family did not dare to compare etiquette with such a big family.
So, the Qionglin banquet almost became Tanhualang's personal special, watching him raise the lamp, listening to him chant poetry, in the Qionglin of the golden osmanthus fragrance, Tanhualang stretched out his hand to break off a branch of osmanthus hairpin ear, but also attracted everyone to follow suit, and the fragrance of flowers was permeated for a while.
"What a handsome Tanhualang, it's a pity that he has a marriage contract. ”
The eldest princess kept in mind what her son said last time, and when she saw the young man who was still a match, she would wonder if the other party had a marriage contract, and these things were not secrets, unless there was some deliberate hiding of the ghost, otherwise you would know if you found a familiar one or two.
Tanhualang is now nineteen years old, in the ancients generally sixteen or seventeen married customs, he is not married at this time are older, and the reason for the age is also simple, the woman should keep filial piety, this is also human nature, although there is a kind of marriage in the hundred days of filial piety, but the people of the big family will never be so hasty, so, Tanhualang's marriage was delayed.
However, if you delay, you will delay, there are red sleeves around you, and whether you marry a wife or not is only for the sake of future generations.
Li Zhe nodded silently, he already knew this, and also asked those palace maids to deliberately mention this article when they passed the message, and also talked about Tanhualang's feelings for his fiancée, as well as the rhyme between him and those red sleeves.
This time is enough for him to understand Princess Chaoyang, this princess will never do anything to rob other people's husbands, and she will not like that kind of wanton person, after hearing this kind of words, even if she really has some thoughts, she will rest.
In fact, in addition to letting these new scholars feel the honor of carp jumping over the dragon gate, today's Qionglin banquet is also an unspecified blind date banquet. The pile of scholars in front of the emperor and officials are watching, the queen mother is headed, a bunch of palace ladies and ministers' families are watching from afar, and the emperor leaves later, the queen mother rests, and the queen will let everyone go around at will, which is a good opportunity for blind dates.
After this day, there will be many ministers who ask the emperor to give marriage, and before the Chinese New Year, it can be described as the peak season for marriage.
In the plot, Princess Chaoyang didn't know that Tanhualang had a marriage contract, so she was bent on it, and when the emperor gave her marriage, she was only depressed, now......
took down the handkerchief she was holding, Princess Chaoyang's lips were still dyed with a little tempting color of honeydew, and the light smile on the corner of her lips was not closed, "Ah Zhe is still young, and don't worry, go back to the palace with me, I recently made a new kind of dim sum, it is very delicious, Ah Zhe wants to try it?"
"I'm not in a hurry, but my sister's age is going to see, and I'm still waiting to see what kind of person my future brother-in-law is, why go back in such a hurry. Li Zhe easily got out of the sight of the Queen Mother and the princess, and kept following Princess Chaoyang, for fear that the plot would be too strong, so that she would meet the tanhualang, and in the end it would be a tragic ending of depression.
"You can see it, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will decide on the candidates, so you don't have to worry about it. "Princess Chaoyang has a straightforward and unpretentious personality, and she doesn't have those pretentious shyness to avoid talking about marriage, but she still blushes when she speaks, obviously still a little embarrassed.
Li Zhe saw that she seemed to be ashamed and insisted on leaving, and he no longer refused, it was okay to leave earlier, as long as he was sure that she would not like that Tanhualang, it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.
As for the gentleman in the original plot, I'm afraid he won't be able to get into the eyes of the queen mother and the eldest princess, it's really not good, it's really not good...... Seriously, Li Zhe really can't think of any better way to destroy the marriage, and he can only hope that Chaoyang can live better after the princess loses face without the things caused by the original owner.
In fact, with Chaoyang's character, it is difficult for Li Zhe to imagine that she is depressed and sick because of love, as a princess, she enjoys glory and wealth while also accepting all kinds of constraints, Chaoyang is a very self-satisfied person, and her heart is generous enough, how can she die early because her husband is not loved, and her husband does not give him face?
As soon as this thought turned, seeing that Chaoyang had gone farther, Li Zhe hurriedly caught up: "Sister is ashamed, walking so fast." ”
"Don't talk nonsense......"
The next day, Li Zhe came to the palace early, waiting for the emperor to come over to meet him as soon as he came to see him, which caused the emperor to be surprised: "What's the matter today, what's the urgency, come here so early?"
"Isn't this worrying about Sister Chaoyang's marriage? There were so many young talents yesterday, and my uncle had to pick a good one for my sister. Li Zhe's words were tentative, once the marriage was promulgated, it could not be changed, so it was better to let his uncle dispel his mind before that.
The emperor smiled and said, "You kid started to worry about this before he grew up. - And you don't have to worry about it, uncle can't care about it here, there is the queen mother and the queen, but there is nothing to do with the two of us. ”
The meaning of the emperor's words is not to be the master, so, is the plot wrong? In the plot, it is clear that there is an old minister who asks for marriage, and the emperor directly agrees, could it be that his butterfly wings have changed the plot?
Li Zhe can only think like this, maybe the queen mother passed this matter out of her anger in advance, and the emperor didn't care. Generally speaking, the affairs of the daughter's family are indeed managed by the mother-in-law.
