Chapter VII: Calculation
Shao Si's order and the ceremony is a big event, these days the palace is busy crazy, the people in the capital are also very excited, they believe in the high priest, fifteen years ago the high priest went out with the army to fight with the Zhao State, in exchange for their peace for more than ten years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info in their hearts, the high priest is like a god-like figure, and the entire Dayuan is immersed in a kind of joy.
The princes and nobles are also discussing what gifts to give, and the crown prince Jin Qiao invited several princes to talk in the East Palace, because this young master rarely shows up, and he doesn't know her preferences, and he doesn't know what to give after thinking about it.
"Seventh brother, have you thought about what you want to give?" Jin Qiao stroked the fine mutton fat jade in his hand and looked at Jin Ling who was careless.
Jin Ling was suddenly brought back from his daze, "What did Brother Huang just say?"
Jin Zhen quietly reminded him beside him, "Brother Huang asked you what you plan to send to Shao Si Ming." ”
"You are also sixteen years old this year, why are you still the same, you think about playing tricks on the palace maids and eunuchs all day long, and now you will be distracted even when I talk to you, you ask this prince to say what is good about you. ”
Jin Qiao's words sounded like the eldest brother's teaching to his younger brother on the surface, but anyone could hear the real irony in it.
Jin Ling replied with a smile or not: "What the imperial brother taught me is that Jin Ling knows that he is wrong. ”
"That's it, you little bully, everything you say is in the left ear and out of the right ear. It's better to think about what you want to give to the young master, lest you lose your sense of proportion on the day of the big gift and give something that can't be elegant. ”
Several princes who were close to the crown prince were already secretly laughing, only Lao Jiu Jin Zhen looked at him worriedly.
After the banquet, Jin Ling and Jin Zhen went back to their palace together, and Jin Zhen called "Seventh Brother" nervously.
Jin Ling squinted at him, "What do you want to do?"
"That ......" Jin Zhen said nervously with Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, "Go back and play tricks on Shao Siming, will I do something wrong?"
Jin Ling thought it was funny, he was so unrighteous that day, and now he actually knew that he had confessed his mistake, "Why did you suddenly talk about this?"
Jin Zhen was even more entangled, "Shao Si Ming is the future high priest, what if she provokes her last time and she finds a chance to retaliate against you in the future?" I think although the prince's words just now are not good, but it still makes some sense, why don't you take advantage of Shao Si Ming's gift to give a gift, what if Shao Si Ming doesn't get angry?"
"You kid!" Jin Ling slapped him on the head, "Do you know what, Fei Tong is an ordinary person? Don't worry about it, but you are right, what the prince said is not completely wrong, his words are indeed from my left ear and out of my right ear." ”
Jin Zhen "......"
Jin Ling ignored him and strode forward.
"Brother Seven, where are you going?"
"Go to Yuhua Palace to see the concubine, where are you cool. ”
Jin Zhen didn't obey obediently, but raised his foot and chased after him quickly, "Do you think that only you have filial piety, I also want to go to see Concubine Yu!"
After the princes left, Jin Qiao also went to Fengqi Palace to greet his biological mother and queen, and by the way, he expressed his confusion.
The queen was closing her eyes and recuperating, and the three palace maids around her were massaging her, and after listening to Jin Qiao's words, she slowly opened a pair of Danfeng eyes.
"Her etiquette really can't be taken lightly, you must know that the people of Wuyang Palace are the hearts of the people of Dayuan, and their prestige can even surpass your father's emperor, if you can get close to them, your position will be more stable in the future. ”
Jin Qiao nodded in agreement, "What the queen mother said is exactly what the son thinks, now the father is in good health, although the son has a slightly stable foundation in the court, but it is difficult to guarantee that the father will not be jealous of the son." In addition to the support of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, the sons also need the support of the people. ”
A hint of calculation flashed in the queen's eyes, "If on the day of the ceremony, Shao Si Ming can say in front of everyone that you have the order of the Son of Heaven......"
Jin Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped the table, "Yes, it's still the queen mother's intelligence, why didn't the sons think that as long as these words spread out of the palace, the people will definitely believe in the words of the young master, and even if the father and emperor are jealous of the sons and daughters, they can't ignore the will of the people in the world." That's great!"
He stood up excitedly, but after a while, his face turned gloomy again, "It's just how to give this gift? ”
"Emperor, how many times has this palace taught you to be calm when encountering problems, and those who become big things are the most afraid of impatience. The queen glanced at him and motioned for him to sit down.
There are also palace maids in this palace, although they are all the queen's henchmen, but Jin Qiao still coughed embarrassedly, "The queen mother's lesson is that the sons and daughters remember the teachings and ask the queen mother for guidance." ”
The queen raised her excellent maintenance and sent several palace maids out.
"Although this young master is a shallow person, her master is not unseen. ”
Jin Qiao held his chin, "What does the queen mother mean, to favor the high priest?"
The queen glanced at him and continued, "Although it is true that she has lived in seclusion in Wuyang Palace since she came back from the war fifteen years ago, this palace has heard about her preferences before that?"
"Tell me quickly, what does she like?"
"Nine Que Xuanyin. ”
"Jiuque Xuanyin?" Jin Qiao repeated, "But the legendary jade flute Jiuque and Xuanyin qin made by the Qin Saint Jiuyin a hundred years ago?"
The queen nodded slightly, "Indeed, that jade flute was her beloved thing more than ten years ago, and it was also a weapon that she never left her body. It's just that she was lost after the battle with Zhao that year, and no one in the palace heard the high priest's flute. Although I don't know where that flute is now, but the other one, the main palace knows where it is. ”
Jin Qiao couldn't wait to ask, "Where is it?"
The queen's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose: "Zhao Guo, Zhao Han's hand." ”
"Zhao Han?" Jin Qiao was surprised, "Does the queen mother mean Zhao Han, the prince of Zhao Kingdom?"
"Exactly, if you can find a way to get the Xuanyin Qin from him, then there is hope. ”
Jin Qiao didn't feel excited, but showed embarrassment, "Queen Mother, everyone knows that Da Yuan and Zhao Guo have a vendetta, and Zhao Han is also a well-known ruthless figure in Zhao State, how easy is it to get this piano from him?"
"Hmph, when it comes to being ruthless, how much can you lose to the emperor? If you can't do this thing, then even if you ascend the throne in the future, how can you keep this great yuan?"
As soon as these words came out, Jin Qiao was silent, and after a while, he suddenly knelt in front of the queen and kowtowed respectfully, "What the queen mother said is very true, the son has been taught, the queen mother can rest assured, the son will not live up to the queen mother's expectations." ”
There was a strange light in his eyes, like a wolf's eyes in the dark night, and the cold air was exposed.
