Chapter 81: Lord Tucao
What Su Cen and Su Chi didn't know was that at this moment, Su Yuan had returned to Jinling with the corpse of the eldest prince and the horse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the day Su Yuan went back, the person who went to answer him turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, and the scene of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest prince meeting again after many years was touching. According to the officials who accompanied him that day, it was very touching to see brothers and sisters such as the crown prince and the eldest prince in the royal family. Of course, there is no shortage of other voices: "Sure enough, the first-class actors have become masters, and the second-class actors have entered Yueyinfang to sing." ”
Of course, this is a later story, and at this moment, there is a small controversy in His Majesty's Nanyuan banquet, which is related to Su Chi.
Nanyuanli,
The emperor naturally sat at the top, and the concubine's seat was slightly lower, but it was also next to the dragon chair, but the queen mother on the side was on the right side of His Majesty, a little farther away. Originally, it was an unruly matter, but after seeing a lot, it was surprisingly harmonious, and there was no abruptness.
The queen is virtuous, and she doesn't care about these, and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs can only be silent about His Majesty's favor and the status of the Su family.
At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Yu and his wife are also sitting below, and there are a few adults sitting down, but the eldest prince who has just returned is not invited because of his sensitive identity.
"As Master Wen said, it is against the ancestral system to reward Suchi, and the grades of women are all shaded by their parents, so it is indeed inappropriate to receive this big reward for no reason. It's better to compromise, how about sealing a county lord? "The queen takes care of the six palaces, and she knows the system and palace rules in the palace the best, and everything is based on this, so as not to let anyone take advantage of the loopholes.
"It's just a little county lord, where can the queen mother move the ancestral system out." The concubine didn't raise her eyelids, peeling lychees under her hands, and her words were not very respectful, and even had a provocative meaning. Everyone looked at their noses and noses and looked at their hearts with the posture of eating melons, watching them-for-tat, and His Majesty did not intervene.
"No matter how big or small, follow it, this is the foundation of the existence of the system. The concubine is a high position in the six palaces, and she should be an example of women in the world, and she cannot violate it. Su Chi is the niece of the concubine, and it is normal for the concubine to be biased, but the private matter is small, and it is intolerable to corrupt the law and discipline. "The queen's words have already been loaded with guns and sticks, and I can hear the downstairs frowning frequently, and the reason for the sealing of Su Chi is because of the meritorious reward of the Su family to welcome the eldest prince, this is what Your Majesty meant.!
"The queen has been promoted, and the palace has never cared about any exemplary examples, but she has a preference for her niece in her selfish heart. Since the queen thinks it's inappropriate, don't want this title. "The concubine said this domineeringly, the hall here is full of high-ranking officials and noble people, she just admits that she is selfish? The queen was disrupted by her words, and had prepared a basket of words to label her as favoritism, and she admitted it. It seems that he is aggressive. The concubine actually just thinks that Su Chi bears the name of the Su family, which county lord in Jinling can match him? If the county lord is sealed, the identity will not be sealed but surrendered, and if you can't get the best, you don't have to keep the next best, which is the principle of Su Jiang.
"Don't be angry, Ah Chi is still young, and these grade rewards are in a hurry. Even if it is decided today, it is necessary to give the Ministry of Rites time to prepare the title and issue an edict, and now Ah Chi is still worshipping her ancestors in Liaocheng, and it will not be too late to wait for her to come back. After Su Yao finished speaking, the ministers had already smelled something unusual. Su Yao's words were soft, and he had a good harmony between the concubine and the queen, but every sentence was said to the concubine, and it did express the meaning of the temporary shelf.
The return of the eldest prince to Beijing this time is the credit of the Su family, and the title of Yasukuni Duke Su Yuan can no longer be sealed, and His Majesty intends to award Su Cen the title of viscount, but Su Yuan resigned. It seems that this reward can only fall on Su Chi, Su Chi is a daughter, even if she is crowned a county lord, it will not affect the overall situation. But there are a lot of people who block it!
As soon as Su Yao finished speaking, the queen's eyes were full of approval, did the concubine want to scold Su Yao for Su Chi's grade? Sure enough, all the eyes of the audience were on the concubine who was seated, but the concubine didn't say a word, and leisurely peeled the lychee, as if everything had nothing to do with her, her skin was as white as snow, and the lychee fell on her hand crystal clear.
Just before the queen was about to speak, the prince and Lou Xiang exchanged a look, and then Lou Xiang spoke first in the queen's incomprehension: "Guogong is originally a product, not to mention that the title of Jingguo Gong is still given by Taizu, and no one has been awarded this title over the years." I forgot: the daughters of the princes and princes should have been crowned county lords. What's more, Su's Achi is very talented, and he will ・・・・・・ in the future."
Lou Xiang showed his usual smile, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and everyone's expressions gradually relaxed. Although the marriage contract between Su Chi and the prince is customary, no one has talked about it in the past few years, on the one hand, Su Chi is still young, Su Yuan doesn't seem to be enthusiastic, and on the other hand, His Majesty has not given an explicit statement, and no one is afraid of making the wrong fart. This downstairs stabbed this layer of window paper, and His Majesty also showed a smile, which could be seen that the dragon's heart was happy. Although it is not explicitly stated, it is tacit in the end. Everyone's hearts lit up: either His Majesty and Lou Xiang have already passed the gas, or Lou Xiang guessed the holy will correctly, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy! The concubine has pressed the queen in the harem for so many years, and when Su Chi enters the West Palace in the future, what is the Lou family's calculations?
Everyone present showed a smile of understanding, and the bold ones had already raised their glasses to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in public. First, as the highest-status woman of the Su family's generation, Su Chi's husband's choice to express the holy will to a large extent, and he was favored, a congratulations!
Second, the Su family has not participated in the party struggle for many years, and even the successive Su Dynasty family heads have only sent their daughters into the palace after the dust has settled, because they are worried about standing on the wrong team, and coincidentally the choice of the Su family has indeed never gone wrong. After gaining the support of the Knowles, the prince was supported by the Su family, and the time and place were favorable, and it was rare that His Royal Highness King Yu could still be silent at this moment.
King Yu's face was already cold, but Princess Yu Su Yao on the side was very proper, poured wine for him, Su Yao shook his hand under the table, and the smile on her face was warm and pleasant. King Yu couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at her, since he decided to marry his cousin Fu Nanqiao, Su Yao and him were a little more estranged, and it was rare to show favor like today. He also held her hand, she had always been his best wife. From the very beginning, he was the disadvantaged side in this battle for the dragon chair, Ning Lizhen didn't have to do anything, as long as his father fell, he would be the new emperor without a doubt. And he's doing a lot wrong, but so what? The throne must not fall into the hands of such a person who is proud of being a gentleman and a Confucian scholar, otherwise: today's in Southern Qi is tomorrow in Northern Wan! With Ning Lizhen's weakness, it must be that the Lou family and the Su family are equally divided, and at that time, the Ning family's world may be the end of the strong crossbow!
Lou Xiang's smile turned to the prince on the right, quite ridiculous. Ning Lizhen was also generous, and drank a full cup in front of everyone, so he was congratulated by everyone. The story of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Sujia Achi's childhood sweetheart has never been a secret, and today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made such a statement, and the situation in Jinling can be regarded as clearer.
The ministers said congratulations, but in their hearts they were thinking about how to let their sons and nephews go to the East Palace, if they got the blue eyes of His Royal Highness, the future would be limitless. But few people noticed that on the high platform, the emperor did not say a word, and the hand holding the empty wine glass did not let go for a long time. The concubine's eyes turned, and she looked silently between the prince and the emperor, with a bit of ridicule between her eyebrows!
Xiang Lou spoke, and Queen Lou had no choice but to stop her mouth and stare at the concubine. The concubine was probably attracted by the atmosphere in the hall, and she didn't put half of her eyes on the high platform, so it was the emperor who noticed the concubine's poor eyes first. He glanced at it so coldly that the wine in the queen's hand almost spilled. The concubine seemed to have just seen it, and she couldn't help but smile. is obviously such a naïve and undignified action, but she does it arbitrarily and romantically, which is very sultry in the eyes of His Majesty. Thirty years old is the age when a woman should wither, but the years seem to treat her very favorably, her eyes are bright and aura when she covers her lips and smiles, just like when she first saw it!
On that day, His Majesty not only crowned the lord of Suchi, but also proposed the title "Tujia". When this extraordinary title was decided, even Lou Xiang's smile narrowed a little, and if he looked closely, his face was still a little embarrassed.
