Chapter 726: Calculating
It is said that Fang Handong came by order and was an envoy of the Son of Heaven, and he should wait for the King of Qin to lead the people of the Qin Palace, and then enter the Qin Palace.
But at this time, where can Fang Handong still take care of his reserve and face.
As soon as the gate of King Qin's Mansion opened, without waiting for King Qin to come out to greet him, Fang Handong led people inside, but was stopped by the expressionless Sanxi.
"Lord Fang, wait a minute, the prince and His Royal Highness the prince are not ready yet. ”
If it had been someone else, he would have angrily accused the Qin Wangfu of despising Long Wei, but this person was Fang Handong, and at this point, he was uneasy in his heart, let alone putting on a show, and he didn't even dare to have a little displeasure.
Instead, he hurriedly lost a smile:
"You don't have to work for the prince and His Royal Highness, the lower officials will go in and wait. ”
When Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan were in the capital before, he and his wife were embarrassed by them in order to please the emperor, but now it is easy to get this errand, and they just want to find a way to make up for it.
Sanxi took the sword and slashed in front of Fang Handong, so frightened that Fang Handong took a few steps back:
"The Qin Palace's Mansion is not something that anyone can enter casually, Lord Fang should wait patiently!"
Fang Handong's enthusiasm was immediately poured out, embarrassed and embarrassed, no one needed to say it, he felt ashamed in his heart.
Several eunuchs and grandmothers from the Needlework Bureau behind him couldn't help but laugh secretly when they saw his embarrassed appearance, causing Fang Handong to turn around and stare at him fiercely.
But it seems that everyone knows that he used to please the emperor and acted too much, and the new emperor will never end well after succeeding to the throne, and no one is afraid of him, but laughs a little louder.
Chang'an was in the center, Xiao Shaotang sat in front of the mirror, Bai Chenghuan straightened his bun, put on a purple and gold hair crown for him, and then showed a satisfied smile to the people in the mirror:
"It looks really good, and sure enough, people are good-looking, no matter what the head, it looks commensurate. ”
Xiao Shaotang pulled down her hands on his shoulders and held them tightly:
"Thank you Huanhuan for tying my hair with your own hands. ”
"I don't really tie my hair very often, so I didn't expect my craft to be good. ”
There was a smile between the eyebrows and eyes of the two, as if the waves had never risen this morning.
But when Shao Hui came in to report that King Qin had ordered someone to invite, the smile between Xiao Shaotang's eyebrows faded instantly, and he stood up, but the corners of his lips were pursed and he didn't say a word.
Or Bai Chenghuan spoke out to solve Shao Hui's dilemma:
"Tell Commander Lin that we'll be here right away. ”
Shao Hui went out to reply.
I was obviously unwilling, but I was still forced to accept it.
Such Xiao Shaotang made Bai Chenghuan feel very distressed.
Bai Chenghuan hugged Xiao Shaotang from behind and leaned his face on his solid back:
"Maybe my father has his own troubles, and after today, you can talk to him about it again, this is a good thing, why be so unhappy?"
"Xiao Shaotang, do you know, in my heart, you are a person who can't be crushed by anything. ”
"Am I that strong?"
"Of course!" she replied without a doubt.
Her slender arms were wrapped around his waist, and even through the layers of clothes and the hard jade armor belt, he could feel the warmth and comfort from his heart.
That's it, since it can't be changed, why worry her about it?
Xiao Shaotang put her hands on her soft and slender fingers, and said with a smile:
"If Huanhuan wants me to be a strong person so much, then how can I disappoint you? ”
When Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan appeared in the spacious and majestic main hall of the Qin Palace, the Qin King and the subordinates of the Qin Palace, who had been waiting for a long time, were obviously relieved.
Today's matter, if His Royal Highness the Prince is unwilling to cooperate, the slightest discord between King Qin's father and son will cause countless turmoil and incidents.
"Shaotang. ”
King Qin's smile was a little more guilty and a little less solemn than before.
Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan saluted King Qin in an orderly manner, and without saying much, they stepped aside.
King Qin's heart swelled with countless regrets and sadness, knowing that his arbitrariness had hurt his son's heart.
But at this time, it was not the time to think too much, King Qin took the lead and walked out and welcomed Fang Handong in to show his last respect for the emperor.
Fang Handong saw King Qin come out to greet him in person, the previous embarrassment and embarrassment were suddenly swept away, his eyes smiled into a slit, and he greeted him attentively:
"The prince is ready, let people summon the lower officials in, why be so polite!"
King Qin glanced at him coldly and said:
"Lord Fang, this king can naturally be polite, but since Lord Fang represents the emperor, this king naturally has to be respectful and behave. ”
Fang Handong's smile froze on his face, and the trace of face that he had just picked up fell to the ground with a "click" and shattered.
He could only follow King Qin into the Qin Palace, and before the incense table set up in the Qin Palace, he read out the holy decree, and then ordered someone to measure the body of the King of Qin.
The leader of the Needlework Bureau was an old eunuch in his forties, who had supervised the emperor's dragon robe for many years, and the auspicious words of flattery had always been on his lips, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and smiled at King Qin:
"The prince dragon chapter phoenix, majestic nature, the subjects of the world have admired for a long time, the old slave can tailor the clothes for the prince today, it is really a blessing for three lives!
After saying this series of words, King Qin also glanced at the old eunuch a few times, and vaguely remembered that it was an old man in the palace, so he nodded and said:
"So, very well, go and measure the body of the son. ”
The old eunuch was stunned in one sentence:
"Isn't it tailoring for the prince?!"
King Qin's expression was faint:
"It's not the king, it's the son. ”
The old eunuch immediately looked at Fang Handong, what was going on-
Could it be that he had mispronounced the decree?
Today is tailoring for the successor to the unification!
Where is the reason to bypass Lao Tzu himself and become the emperor directly?!
Fang Handong looked very calm, and said slowly:
"Gonggong Hai is also too anxious, he is in a hurry to make contributions without even figuring out the emperor's will, why don't you go and measure His Royal Highness the prince?"
The old eunuch, known as Gonggong Hai, immediately understood that Fang Handong was deliberately concealing it to retaliate against them for laughing at him in front of the mansion.
Gonggong Hai could only sigh in his heart, if it was really the newspaper of the world, he could come so quickly.
But he looked at the prince of Qin in horror - he got the wrong person when he came up, and His Royal Highness the prince should be disgusted with him, right?
Bai Chenghuan looked at Gonggong Hai's panicked appearance, but he had another emotion in his heart.
Last time, when she was about to get married, the queen's court dress used was also cut for her by Father-in-law Hai.
Now times have changed, and everything has changed.
She quietly pulled Xiao Shaotang, who was watching coldly.
has been a husband and wife for more than a year, Xiao Shaotang and her have long been in touch with each other, knowing that she doesn't want to see this embarrassing situation again.
So he raised his hand and said to the sea:
"Grandpa Hai, please!"
When Gonggong Hai got Xiao Shaotang's voice, the panic in his heart immediately went to most of it, and he hurriedly beckoned the grandmothers who came behind him to measure the size of the prince of Qin.
I took a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one.
Several grandmothers were very careful and precise, and soon measured Xiao Shaotang's size.
As for the color style, the emperor of Daqi has his own customization, and the needlework bureau only needs to discuss with the Ministry of Rites.
After the matter was completed, the steward of the Qin Wangfu replaced the King of Qin and Xiao Shaotang to reward the people of the Needle Work Bureau, and he didn't even get a cup of hot tea.
Fang Handong can't deliberately care about this, because if he is like Gonggong Hai and them, he will inevitably surrender his identity a little.
It's just that Fang Handong still saw some clues from Xiao Shaotang's face, and when he went back, he began to mumble to his wife.
"It is said that being able to bypass King Qin and directly succeed to the throne of the emperor is a great thing, but how can I look at it today, the prince of Qin is not very happy. ”
After speaking, he sighed again:
"But the father and son of Qin Wangfu are really not as big as the tip of a needle, and they don't have a good face when they see me, it's really worrying!"
"Even if people are happy to let you see it, I think it's just to cover it up, so as not to look too ugly!"
Mrs. Fang Handong was also worried in her heart, thinking about it, she couldn't help complaining:
"I'm still counting on a good face, I didn't fork you out directly, it's good! At the beginning, I asked you not to do things absolutely, and you wanted to please the emperor, according to the current situation, the new emperor ascended the throne, and our family must not have a good life!"
was already worried, and when he heard his wife say this, Fang Handong felt irritable in his heart:
"Women, what do you know? At the beginning, the emperor's throne was still stable, who would have thought that there would be today? What is the use of saying this at this time?
Mrs. Fang was reprimanded by Fang Handong at this time, and she didn't dare to refute it, so she had to follow him to search her intestines and find a way.
After thinking about it, he said:
"King Qin and the prince of Qin, you can't do it, but the princess of King Qin has a lot to do!"
Fang Handong didn't quite understand:
"At the beginning, you said in public that the princess of King Qin was jealous and had already torn her face, this is not as good as our side!"
"You don't understand this, it was the same thing at the beginning, and then when I passed my birthday, didn't the princess of King Qin send a Bodhisattva over?"
Mrs. Fang said what she thought in her heart:
"When the prince of Qin ascends the throne, the princess of Qin will be a proper queen. And the biggest reliance of the princess of King Qin is the Weibei Hou Mansion, she can not care about other families, and it is impossible for her to not care about the words of Mrs. Weibei Hou. ”
"When the time comes, I will find a way to bow my head to Mrs. Weibei Hou, and then send some rare treasures to the princess of King Qin, as long as I win her favor, this pillow will blow in the wind, and our family will have a chance to breathe." ”
When Fang Handong heard this, he felt that it made sense, and he didn't care about being upset, so he discussed with his wife how to please the new emperor in the future and how to hug the thigh of the Weibei Hou Mansion.
The husband and wife are thinking at home, and Xiao Shaotang is also discussing the matter of Zhan Shichun with Bai Chenghuan.
"I heard that in the past few months, he has been staying in the Star Picking Pavilion and refusing to come down, and now he has tortured himself as a person, a ghost. ”
"If you want to see him, I will order someone to pack him up, and you will see him again, and if you don't want to see him, I will have him invited out of the palace, so as not to frighten you later." ”
Although Zhan Shichun can be regarded as a contributor in the process of overthrowing the emperor, but a strange and ruthless person like Zhan Shichun will never be used again if he is placed here by Xiao Shaotang.
Only the emperor has not suspected him until now, and thinks that he is loyal.
Thinking of James Shichun, Bai Chenghuan's heart swelled with an indescribable taste.
She knew that Zhan Shichun was Zhan Songlin, and she also knew that Zhan Shichun had no ill will towards her from beginning to end.
Although he was unbearable in the eyes of others, he was excellent to her.
Even she would occasionally remember that outside the back door of the Weibei Hou Mansion, in the morning mist, he was carrying the red bean cake she liked to eat, and carefully begged her to taste it.
He stubbornly treated her as his long-lost daughter, and put all his love on her.
Although it was probably just a complete mistake, she couldn't completely stop seeing him now.
"Let's go into the palace, there are some things I need to make clear to him face to face. ”
Xiao Shaotang was originally by Bai Chenghuan in this matter, and since Bai Chenghuan wanted to see him, he naturally had nothing to say.
The two finally discussed, let people take care of Zhan Shichun first, and when the palace was arranged, Bai Chenghuan went to see Zhan Shichun.
Today, in addition to tailoring clothes, Bai Chenghuan also has to go to Weibei Hou Mansion to visit Mrs. Weibei Hou, so as not to worry her.
Mrs. Weibeihou also heard Weibeihou talk about King Qin's plan just now, and she was very worried.
"I thought that Cheng Huan would be a princess before, take my time, and when I become the queen, I won't be bullied in a hurry, but now I suddenly want to be a queen, I don't know why...... Very unsteady. ”
Wei Beihou and Xu Chenglin were not so worried, so Wei Beihou persuaded:
"In my opinion, that's not bad. After all, King Qin is still in his prime, and if His Royal Highness the Prince is allowed to be the prince for more than ten or twenty years, there will be too many variables in between. ”
After thinking about it again, there were no outsiders, and Wei Beihou simply said it thoroughly:
"If you think about it, if King Qin ascends to the throne, he will be the first widower in the world, and you can be sure that the noble family that can't stuff people around His Royal Highness the Prince of the Past may not have the idea of beating King Qin. ”
"In the middle, if there is a woman who has fallen into the eyes of King Qin, there will be another queen, a favorite concubine, and two more heirs, and at that time, the situation of His Royal Highness the Prince and Cheng Huan will be embarrassing!"
Hearing her husband say this, Mrs. Weibeihou gradually understood in her heart every day, in this way, although she was a little hasty, she also completely avoided long nights and dreams.
The couple was talking, and when they heard that the princess of King Qin was coming, Mrs. Weibei Hou didn't bother to worry about this problem anymore and hurriedly went out.
"Slow down, watch your body!"
As soon as he saw Mrs. Weibeihou, Bai Chenghuan was like a chick that saw an old hen, and happily ran to Mrs. Weibeihou's side, which frightened Mrs. Weibeihou and dissuaded her again and again.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Bai Chenghuan responded, and before he stopped, a person suddenly rushed out of the oblique and almost knocked her down!
"Cheng Huan!"
Mrs. Weibei Hou and Xiao Shaotang were suddenly frightened, Xiao Shaotang stepped forward without saying a word, and kicked the man away, but what came was a woman's scream!
