Chapter 90: The Return of the Great Prince
Chapter 90: The Great Prince Returns
"Master. Li Shi's voice was a little flustered, and he said, "The slave doesn't dare to make assumptions. ”
"That's what you think in your heart. Song Chengqian's voice was very light, so faint that Li Shi almost thought that he was hallucinating.
"Master, the prince is right...... If you are dissatisfied, you will be more inclined to the master. In the past, although there was a lot of cooperation with you when starting a family, in the end, it was only on the premise that it did not affect the family. If the emperor presses, their position may not be solid. Between the master and the emperor, the family will still be more biased towards the emperor. But now it's different......" Li Shi's voice was a little excited.
"It's different. Now, they are on the opposite side of their father. But have you ever thought that if Lone is too dependent on becoming a family, you say, is a lonely chess piece, or is Lone a chess piece of a family? For the lonely and family who should be one party, this is a game in itself. The expression on Song Chengqian's face did not relax at all. "If the family really has a heart of disobedience, do you think that they will always stand behind the lonely. They want to start an incident in the name of Lone, and Lone will become a stumbling block for them sooner or later, and they can't get rid of it as soon as possible. Have you ever thought about this possibility? Have you ever thought about these things, the old lady didn't say it sooner or later, but at this time. Isn't the timing a bit too coincidental? ”
"Could it be that the old lady lied to me......" Li Shi said in amazement.
"Not really. After all, a lie does not stand up to verification. The old lady didn't lie to you. She should be telling the truth. Song Chengqian sneered: "Don't forget, although the old lady is the queen mother, she also has children, although her children are released from good records, but which does not refer to the family to eat." The old lady didn't say it before, and she wasn't just afraid of the Jiang family. She stayed in the family for half her life, and accompanied her mother in the palace. Can she be a stupid person. Since she knew that her injury was a bit inexplicable, she should know that the person who wanted to kill her was the emperor. Jiang's hand could not reach Kunning Palace. Not telling her to talk too much is what the emperor meant. In addition, the queen mother passed away, and no one protected her. Naturally, she had to keep her mouth shut to protect herself. But if she comes to the door and asks if she is married, will she hide it for the sake of her children? Not only will it not, but it will also hand us the news by the way, and use it to curry favor with the family. After all, the family hopes that Lone will 'share the same hatred' with them. ”
The sweat on Li Shishi's face fell, "They are bold! They want to drag His Highness in." ”
"If you want to use it, let them use it. Whoever can control the situation in the end depends on whose means are more clever. Besides, one of Lone's side concubines is Yun Shungong's daughter-in-law. He was extremely unconvinced by his uncle in his bones. This person used it well, and it worked wonders. Song Chengqian pondered for a long time and said, "You will go in a while and ask to see your father." Let's just say that I had a dream at night, and I dreamed of my mother. I want to go to the Fengxian Hall to put incense on the pillar of incense for the queen mother. ”
Li Shi responded and hurriedly went out.
This request, Emperor Tian Yuan thought about it and approved it. After Li Shi went out, he asked Fu Changjiu, "What's wrong with the East Palace today." ”
"It's fine. Li Shi looked at the old people outside the palace for the crown prince. It should have been a dream of the first queen's mother. Fu Changjiu said.
Emperor Tian Yuan sighed and stopped talking. They all remembered that the prince was like this when he was a child, always dreaming of the first queen, and then waking up crying. It was half the night to kneel in the temple of Bongseon.
It was a father and son who became a family, and when they heard that the prince went to pay tribute to the first queen, they looked at each other. The message I wanted to convey has already arrived.
These things are not something that Yun Wuniang can know or care about. She now spends half of her time helping Shuangniang check the dowry. Hold the list and compare the items on it in the same way. What's missing, how much is missing, what style is needed. The sisters shared a mess one by one. Led by the fourth wife, Zhuang. Do the same.
"Curry's stepping bed is also an old object, and it is a craft from the south. Why don't you just use this? Now send people to the south, come and go, and the time will not be able to catch up at all," Wu Niang said.
"It's good work. Today, such a bed cannot be built by more than a dozen craftsmen in three years. That's it. "Zhuang is not stingy either. After all, it was married to the palace, and there was a princess to compare, so it would be unseemly if he couldn't take it.
Sanniang looked at this dowry and felt sour. When she entered the palace, it was estimated that she would not be able to bring a bed. Even ordinary large pieces of furniture cannot be brought. What specifications are the ornaments of the prince's side concubine, the Ministry of Rites has the final say.
Siniang and Liuniang were in the library on the side, but they couldn't pick out a screen.
"Look at the shelves of the screen, they are all good materials, but they don't look bright. You still have to hurry up to find an embroidery workshop to come over, and the embroidery will be completed. Siniang pulled Liuniang over and said.
"There are ready-made ones, and it's okay to buy them. Sanniang said: "Why don't you send someone to the embroidery workshop to invite the shopkeeper, and then pick and choose." ”
The ladies were talking lively, and they saw Chu Yuyuan's agate coming over in a hurry. said to Sanniang: "Girl, Mrs. sent a message and asked the girl to come over." ”
Sanniang saw that Onyx's expression was anxious and nervous, and she didn't dare to delay, so she said something to Zhuang's and got up to leave.
As soon as their master and servant left on the front foot, the red pepper on the back foot came to replace the coriander. She went over and poured a cup of tea for Wu Niang, and then whispered, "It's the eldest prince who is here." ”
Wu Niang 'chuckled' in her heart, this shouldn't have returned to the palace to restore her life, so she came first.
really asked Wu Niang to guess, Song Chengping did not return to the palace, and came directly to the Yun family. However, he was not impulsive enough to come over blatantly, but secretly entered the city in disguise and entered through the corner gate of the Yun family. I went directly to Sanniang's yard.
On the way back to the courtyard, Sanniang knew who was coming. She didn't want to face it, but she had to face it.
"Cousin. Sanniang looked at the eldest prince with her back to the door and saluted.
Song Chengping turned around, his face was haggard, and he didn't have a good time thinking about it all the way. "Cousin. His voice was a little hoarse, and after taking a look at Sanniang's face as always, his heart sank little by little.
He remembered the letter his mother had given him, and remembered what his mother had said. He didn't believe it at first. Sanniang grew up with him, and he grew up with care. How could he betray him, how could he fall in love with Song Chengqian. But now he was a little unsure. Sanniang's eyes dodged herself. Before, he thought it was shyness, but now he understands that it is not shyness, but he doesn't know how to face it. Originally, if you have a belly, when you meet someone, you can't ask anymore.
"Just because I'm not a prince. Song Chengping got up to leave, but when he went out, he still asked.
"You know that's not the case, so why bother asking. Sanniang's hand in her sleeve couldn't stop shaking. She didn't want to lose this brother, not at all.
"Then you don't think so much about me, you think I'm not his opponent. Song Chengping asked again.
Sanniang opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak. That's what she thought. She didn't want to and couldn't lie to him.
Song Chengping smiled mockingly, and then walked out without looking back.
Sanniang turned around and called out, "Cousin." Song Chengping's footsteps stopped, but he didn't look back, and immediately strode away.
Song Chengping felt that he was very calm, calm almost indifferent. He may not be able to win, but the other party will definitely win. He didn't want to win now, the only thing he wanted to do was pull him down.
I can't win against you, but you don't want to be the winner.
It must be said that Emperor Tian Yuan did know his son. He was wary of the prince, but the prince did have a heart of disobedience. He used the eldest prince, and the eldest prince really embarked on the path he had envisioned.
The next day, the eldest prince put on a guard of honor and officially entered the city. Now that he is Prince Ping, his momentum is different from before.
Emperor Tianyuan could obviously see that Song Chengping was thinner than when he left. He frowned and said, "It's been a hard journey." ”
Song Chengping gritted his teeth and said, "Why does my father ask knowingly. ”
"Your temperament, sooner or later, you will suffer. Emperor Tianyuan sighed and said, "Women, in fact, they are all the same. The key is in you. Isn't my son worthy of a woman's wholehearted treatment? ”
"My cousin is still different. Song Chengping said with difficulty, and then said: "Although her heart is not in Erchen, Erchen still wants to say that a side concubine has wronged her cousin." My cousin's temperament and talent are also done as a princess."
"Idiot! Emperor Tianyuan pointed to the stool next to him, asked Song Chengping to sit down, and then said, "Asking her to be a side concubine is also a last resort." The clan also needs to be appeased. ”
"Those little aunts and grandmothers in the clan, forget it. I haven't seen anyone who has the demeanor of a mother. Song Chengping laughed shamefully.
Emperor Tianyuan smiled and said, "With your mouth, everyone has been offended by you." ”
"It's good for a son to be a lonely minister, what do you want to be popular. After Song Chengping sat down, he said.
"With the determination to be a lonely minister and a direct minister, I am really relieved. Take a break for a while and then give you an errand. Emperor Tian Yuan seemed to be very happy with the words of the Great Prince.
After speaking, he said: "You are not small now." It's time to get married. Do you have any ideas in your mind? ”
"My son doesn't want to get married for the time being. Song Chengping lowered his head and said.
"Nonsense. I said that you have grown, and this is stubborn again. Emperor Tian Yuan said in a low voice, "Since you don't like to be delicate, my father will definitely choose a lovely one for you." You go to your mother and concubine first, and accompany your father to dinner in the evening. ”
Song Chengping answered, and got up to leave.
Only then did Yuan Niang realize that in fact, the eldest prince was also a smart person. He clearly put his shortcomings in front of the emperor, which is a kind of weakness. And this is almost a performance of true colors, which makes people not suspicious of him.
Song Chengping walked out of the courtyard, his fists clenched little by little. This royal family, if it is not disputed, if it is not capable, then it will lose more. Today it is a woman, tomorrow may be life.
