Chapter 349
The prince nodded with a smile, which was in response to what Yueniang said.
Yueniang was satisfied.
At this moment, a little eunuch came over, saw the prince, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the slave is serving by Miss Qin's side, Miss Qin said that she has something to discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince, and asked the slave to invite His Royal Highness the Prince." β
When the prince heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Qin Qianman not far away, and saw Qin Qianman looking at this side, so he nodded to the little eunuch: "This prince will go over." ββ
After speaking, he said to the three of Yueniang: "Miss Qin must have something to find Prince Ben, and Prince Ben will go over first, and the three of you are having fun." β
Yueniang nodded: "Brother Prince, go quickly, presumably Miss Qin already wants to see you at this time, after all, you are already engaged to Miss Qin, and you should go to see her more." β
The prince listened, nodded, and left.
After the prince left, Yueniang suddenly lowered her face and glanced at the prince's back.
"What's wrong?" Xie Bai noticed Yueniang's expression and asked.
"I just think this prince is also a good actor. Yueniang pouted again.
"Oh, how do you say that?" Zhao Mingqi became interested, and hurriedly rubbed his head over and asked.
Yueniang slapped Zhao Mingqi's head mercilessly, Zhao Mingqi couldn't help but "oops", but she didn't say anything, she came over again, this time, Yueniang didn't stop Zhao Mingqi from coming over.
"Didn't he just say that I get along well with the Third Prince? Can't you see that I get along very well with the Third Prince Xie? Whoever I get along with is going to marry him? Wouldn't I marry thousands of people? Later, I pretended to be angry, and he came over to apologize, isn't this a show? I don't believe that he can't see that I am pretending to be angry, even the third prince can see that he didn't say anything just now, but this prince has to say anything to compensate me. β
Yueniang spread her hands, looking very helpless. And these words successfully made Zhao Mingqi and Xie Bai speechless.
"But what you said is also true, the crown prince and the royal brother did something wrong, and his speech was also very inappropriate, not only Yueniang was uncomfortable to listen to, but I felt a little uncomfortable when I listened to it, not to mention that Yueniang was a girl. Zhao Mingqi explained to Yueniang very appropriately.
Yueniang nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's what I meant, I didn't express it clearly just now, what I want to say is what the third prince said at this time, I am obviously a woman, even if I am informal, no matter how generous I am in my heart, I will not allow anyone to say this about me, how can I like this kind of thing that damages my reputation? What is it called getting along well, and I am about to get married? Where did I hear the truth? My Yueniang thinks that I have grown so big, and I have not heard this truth. β
Yueniang was very angry, she didn't understand where she offended the prince, the prince just treated her like that, and even said something like marriage, which was simply infuriating, but Yueniang still had a good mentality, otherwise she would have rushed up and punched the prince.
Although, there will definitely be consequences for doing this, such as what kind of punishment or something, after all, the crown prince is the emperor's biological son and the next king of a country, how can he tolerate others beating him?
If there is a kind person who speaks for Yueniang, it means that this is a joke between children, presumably although the emperor looks better, he must still be unhappy in his heart, after all, who can see his child being beaten, and still be able to deal with things calmly?
Although it is said that the emperor is different from ordinary people, otherwise he would not be the emperor, but, in Yueniang's view, the emperor is just the emperor, a person who can do anything for his throne and his own country.
"Don't be angry, hasn't the crown prince already promised to compensate you? Let you put forward any conditions, tell me, what do you want? I want to think about it...... I recently heard that the crown prince and the royal brother found a very old agate ring, why don't you go and ask for it?" Zhao Mingqi hurriedly comforted Yueniang.
Yueniang took a deep breath, as if she wanted to spit out all the unpleasantness that the prince brought her: "Hmph, what kind of agate ring, I'm not rare." β
"Then what do you want?, the jade bracelet?" Zhao Mingqi asked again.
Yueniang shook her head.
"What about the golden jade hairpin? This one is also very beautiful. Still not giving up, he asked.
Yueniang still shook her head.
"Then why don't you ask for a pair of Kodama Ruyi! I heard that this is very valuable. Zhao Mingqi still said persistently.
Yueniang still shook her head: "Still no, I remember that I have seen these things in Fufu, or don't want them, I have already seen them, and I am not interested in them anymore." β
Zhao Mingqi seemed to fall into deep thought: "Then I'll think about it again...... Think about whether the crown prince and the royal brother have gotten any new gadgets recently. β
Yueniang glanced at Zhao Mingqi and said without malice: "If the prince really gets something good, will he take it out for everyone to see?" A real treasure cannot be valued. ββ
Zhao Mingqi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "What you said is also reasonable, but what do you want to ask the crown prince and brother for something?" β
"Well...... this" Yueniang made a fuss: "Of course, the heavenly secret must not be revealed!"
This answer obviously made the illuminator very dissatisfied: "Good sister, just tell me!"
Yueniang couldn't stand Zhao Mingqi's serial questioning, so she had to compromise: "You let me go first...... I'm about to be shaken apart by you. After Zhao Mingqi took away the hands that bound Yueniang's shoulders, Yueniang continued: "Do you know what the most expensive thing in time is? Is it gold and silver jewelry? Isn't it a mountain of gold and silver? No, it's not." The most expensive thing is a favor, you owe someone a favor, and you will definitely have to pay it back in the future, the favor is too heavy. β
Zhao Mingqi nodded as if he didn't understand: "Indeed, what you said is right, it's really uncomfortable to owe favors. "Zhao Mingqi seems to have a lot of feelings.
"You seem to have a lot of insight into the explanation of the word human affection? It seems that the third prince is also a person with a story, I wonder if the third prince can answer our questions and solve our mortals' questions?"
Listening to Zhao Mingqi's words, it seemed that he owed a lot of favors.
Zhao Mingqi was stunned for a moment: "You stinky girl, you actually tricked me? You don't think about it! There is no favor, I said this on purpose, seeing that no one will accept you, I am afraid that you will be embarrassed." β
Yueniang spat out: "I don't believe what you say! You treat me as a child, so easy to coax?"
Hearing this, Zhao Mingqi and Xie Bai both laughed.
"Aren't you just a child? Zhao Mingqi quipped.
Yueniang glared at Zhao Mingqi and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that Yueniang seemed to be unhappy, Zhao Mingqi came over again: "What's the matter? Today is the garden party held by the queen mother, if you are angry, a few of us will coax you, just now you have received some benefits from the crown prince and brother, don't exploit me anymore? Besides, you have already helped Jingshu to take away my big night pearl today." β
Hearing this, Yueniang's face looked a little better, thinking of the night pearl, thinking that when Zhao Mingqi sent the night pearl out, she didn't look reluctant at all, and it seemed that she wanted to give it to them sincerely.
"What Night Pearl?" Xie Bai said with an eyebrow raised.
Zhao Mingqi looked at Yueniang as if he was very aggrieved: "It was she and Jingshu who teamed up to deceive me into a big night pearl, and that night pearl was still the one that the Persian ambassador came to my country to pay tribute to." β
"Oh?" Xie Bai became interested.
Yueniang suddenly stopped being angry, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I don't blame you! However, you haven't suffered any loss! Aren't you going to go with me to the prince for dinner tomorrow!
Zhao Mingqi suddenly drew a black line on his face, what is the prince's invitation to dinner is a thank you gift to him? Could it be that one of his night pearls is worth a meal? Besides, this meal was still invited by the prince, and it has nothing to do with him!
Also, the night pearl he gave to Fu Jingshu was enough to buy all the restaurants in the capital!
"How about it? This deal is a good deal, right? I guess you must not have eaten the meal invited by the prince! This time I just took you to a long time and took you to taste it together!" Yue Niang said to herself as if she hadn't noticed Zhao Mingqi's embarrassed face.
"Okay, you don't have to say any more. Zhao Mingqi's expression was as ugly as eating, and he admitted that he couldn't say Yueniang, so he could only give up.
Yueniang nodded with satisfaction: "You should think that you have made a lot of money! You rubbed my face and rubbed your crown prince and brother a meal, don't you think it's very glorious?"
Zhao Mingqi looked at the sky speechlessly, pretending not to hear Yueniang speak.
Yueniang was bored with herself, so she didn't speak anymore, and put her eyes into the imperial garden again.
"Hahahaha, Miss Chu is really talented, if Miss Chu is not a woman, she will definitely add a color to my big country!" The emperor looked very happy.
"Yes, Miss Chu has been knowledgeable since she was a child, and she was also very sensible when she was in school in Guozijian. The queen lady was on the side.
Yueniang couldn't understand why Chu Lining was respected by so many people, and even the emperor and the queen had such a high evaluation of Chu Lining.
Just when Yueniang didn't understand, she raised her hand and broke the cup on the table next to her.
"What's wrong, is it hot?" Xie Bai hurriedly took a step closer and asked with concern.
Yueniang shook her head: "It's not a big deal. β
The movement here also alarmed the emperor and the queen.
"What's going on?" The emperor seemed to be a little angry, it should be the movement here that made them unhappy, after all, the emperor and the queen mother were still harmoniously praising Chu Li Ning just now.
Yueniang pursed her lips, not knowing what to say, but the third prince hugged her fists and said, "Back to my father's words, Miss Fu accidentally broke the cup on the table just now." β
"Oh?" the emperor narrowed his eyes.
At this time, the emperor's father-in-law, beside him, bowed his head and said in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, it is that set of jasper celadon cups, you said that it is useless to put them in the treasury, it is better to take them out to reflect their value." β
"Is it a jasper celadon cup, which was broken by Miss Fu?" The emperor's voice made people unable to hear emotions.
When Zhao Mingqi heard this, his body stiffened: "Back to my father, Yueniang didn't mean it, she also burned a piece of her arm just now." β
"What is this jasper celadon cup, is it a very valuable thing?" Yueniang asked Zhao Mingqi beside her in a low voice.
Zhao Mingqi replied: "It's the same as my night pearl, it was all paid tribute by the Persian ministers, I heard that the material is called glass? Anyway, I don't know, in short, my father is very precious It's just that I didn't take it out for several activities, and I was willing to give it up this time." β
"Since it's such a precious thing, why don't you put it in the treasury?" Yueniang frowned, such a good thing, isn't it just for people to take it out?
"Before, my father put these jasper celadon cups in the treasury, but this time it should be because of the garden party held by the queen herself, so she took them out so generously. Zhao Mingqi answered Yueniang's questions.
It turns out that this is the case, to make it clear, she wants to sell the queen a face! It's just that this time she actually broke such a precious jasper celadon cup, will the emperor blame her?
Just when Yueniang was very worried, the Fu Gonggong beside the emperor spoke again: "Your Majesty, after all, this is something that the Persian ambassador paid tribute to, if it is destroyed like this, won't it affect my friendship with Persia?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately set off a stormy wave.
In this way, it is not just a simple matter of breaking a set of cups, the matter has risen to the level of friendship between the two countries.
For the first time, Yueniang officially looked at the person who was called Fu Gonggong next to the emperor, obviously this person seemed to be kind and kind, but why were the words so ugly? What if it was a cup from the Persian ambassador? Those were just cups!
What is the purpose of the cup? Isn't it just for people to use for tea? If it is such a precious cup, then it should be put in the treasury properly! Isn't it just for people to take it out? Now that it has been accidentally broken, it must be held responsible? Where does this come from?
Yueniang's heart was suddenly full of dissatisfaction with this Fu Gonggong, and looked at the eyes of Fu Gonggong towards her, as if she was very dissatisfied with her, but Yueniang thought that she had not offended this Fu Gonggong, so why did Fu Gonggong do this to herself?
Could it be because someone was behind it? Who could it be? Is it the emperor? Or is it the queen?
Both are possible, one is because Gonggong Fu is the person who serves the emperor, and the emperor basically gives Gonggong Fu everything to inform, and he naturally trusts Gonggong Fu very much.
Second, because this garden party was held by the queen, although the princess obeyed the emperor's orders, but the queen was also the master of the harem, and he also wanted to tie up the queen when necessary, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he was the queen mother's envoy.
In this way, Yueniang fell into confusion, she didn't know what the reason for Father-in-law Fu's move, in order to find trouble for her? She would not be naΓ―ve to think that Father-in-law Fu was saying this for the sake of friendship and friendship between the two countries.
"Father-in-law Fu, please think about it when you speak, it's just a set of quilts! It hasn't involved such a serious friendship between the two countries!" Zhao Mingqi seemed to be a little angry, he didn't expect that Gonggong Fu, who was next to the emperor, would talk like this.
"Third prince, you know how valuable this set of cups is, and the minions are not talking nonsense. Father-in-law Fu was not afraid of the majesty of the third prince at all, looked at Zhao Mingqi's eyes, and said directly.
Zhao Mingqi seemed to be angry: "Oh, this prince doesn't know when a chief eunuch can speak in place of his father!"
This hat was stiffly buckled on Father-in-law Fu's body, and Father-in-law Fu was very frightened: "The words of the third prince are really tormenting the slave! γβ
Yueniang looked at the Fu Gonggong beside the emperor, I don't know why, she always has a hostility towards this Fu Gonggong.
"Calm down! This is the palace. In the end, Xie Bai reminded Yueniang in Yueniang's ear. Yueniang's eyes gradually returned to clarity, looked at Xie Bai, and nodded. She was too impulsive just now.
At this time, he was waiting for the emperor in the imperial study, saying that he had something to discuss with the emperor!" At this time, a little eunuch ran over and knelt down in front of the emperor.
The emperor narrowed his eyes: "You said that the general is back? The general also spread the word a month ago that it would take at least two months to come back, and now it has only been a little more than a month, and he will come back?"
"Your Majesty, the general didn't bless the minions so much, he only said that the minions would inform you to go to the imperial study, and said that if you have to!" Although the little eunuch was very afraid of the emperor's majesty, he was oppressed by the general's momentum before, and now the little eunuch felt that the emperor's majesty was not so terrible.
"Okay, you go and tell the general that I'm going to go. The emperor said.
When Gonggong Fu heard the emperor say this, he was a little unhappy: "Your Majesty, then you don't care about this matter? It is a jasper celadon cup from Persia......
Before Gonggong Fu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the third prince: "Gonggong Fu, this is the general looking for his father, maybe it will be some kind of fortress secret, it doesn't matter if you delay this for a while, if you delay the general and his father to discuss business, this is more than accidentally breaking the jasper celadon cup paid tribute by the Persian country!"
When Gonggong Fu heard this, his face turned pale, yes, how could he forget that the general was going to discuss business with the emperor, and hurriedly said: "Just now, the slave was not thoughtful, and I asked the emperor to atone for his sins!"
The emperor just kept looking at Father-in-law Fu and Zhao Mingqi arguing, and now that Father-in-law Fu said this, the emperor pretended to wave his hand inadvertently and said: "That's it, you have been following me for so many years, and I also know your heart." Let's not mention what happened just now, since the general has already sent someone to urge me, there must be a very serious matter, so I will go to the imperial study to take a look. Queen, I'll leave the matter to you here. β
"Yes, the concubine obeys. The queen said with a smile, and there was no trace of impatience on her face.
When Yueniang heard this, she turned her head to look at Zhao Mingqi beside her, and asked, "Who is this general?
Zhao Mingqi glanced at Yueniang deeply, and said: "This general is the elder brother of the queen's mother, and was sent by the emperor to the border at the age of seventeen. β
"Oh, so that's the case, then why did the general suddenly come back this time?" asked Yueniang again.
"It's not that I came back suddenly, but the general at that time turned over the mistakes, so I was sent by my father to Biansai, saying that he wanted him to train for a few years, and now that the time is up, he will naturally come back. Zhao Mingqi took the trouble to explain to Yueniang.
Yueniang nodded, and she understood: "Then what mistake did he make a few years ago?"
Zhao Mingqi took a deep look at Yueniang, and still said: "It is said that at that time, this general made a bet with a group of gentlemen in a certain green building, I don't remember what the bet contract was, and finally the general lost, and in a fit of anger, he burned this green building, but I don't know that this green building was opened by the son-in-law of the prime minister's family today, and the prime minister was naturally angry, so he impeached the general, and the father sent the general to the side. β
"This general is also an interesting person, but, if you want me to say, the dirty and filthy place in the Qinglou will be burned when it is burned, it is not a big deal, I am afraid that it was not the emperor who wanted to punish the crime at that time, but the impeachment of the prime minister that forced the emperor to punish the general. Yueniang analyzed it and expressed her opinion.
Zhao Mingqi looked at Yueniang with satisfaction: "Yes, at that time, it was just rumored that after the general burned the Qinglou, the emperor was not angry, a Qinglou was just burned, and it was burned when it was burned, but the prime minister was unwilling, saying that the general burned the Qinglou at this time, and he might come to burn the palace next time, so that his father could not be so arrogant as the general, so his father sent the general to the side." β
"It seems that this prime minister is also stingy, just a green building, I don't believe that the prime minister only has this green building in his name? For the sake of a green building, I offended the current general, and I want me to say that this transaction is a real loss. Yueniang pouted.
"At that time, how did the prime minister know that the bastard boy at the beginning would now become a general! Presumably now his intestines are also repentant, although the prime minister's official character is also very high, but he is different from the general, one is a civilian official, and the other is a military general. Zhao Mingqi smiled and looked at the place where the prime minister was.
Sure enough, when he heard the little eunuch say that the general was back, the expression on the prime minister's face was very exciting, as if he had eaten, Zhao Mingqi couldn't help laughing.
