Chapter 676 It's hard to ride a tiger
Prince: I just asked the prime minister to nominate Jing Rong, if he objected to offending the prime minister and Jing Rong at the same time! At this point, the father was still so partial! He asked the fifth emperor brother without asking him first!
"Father, the son also thinks that Lord Jing is a good candidate. ”
The emperor and the prime minister looked at the crown prince with some surprise.
Emperor: This prince used to be incompatible with Jing Rong, but after he returned, he heard from the Dark Dragon Guard that the prince had been in contact with Jing Rong many times in private. After returning from the experience, it has grown a lot better than before.
It seems that this is to buy Jing Rong and provoke his relationship with the Five Emperors.
The fifth prince glanced at the crown prince vaguely. What does this puppet know?!
The emperor's gaze shifted to the fifth prince. "What do the five emperors think?
The five princes lined up and walked to the center of the main hall. "Back to his father, Jing Rong used to be the first adviser under his son, and he praised his talent and son, and he was more than enough to serve as the secretary of the criminal department. ”
People from the Five Princes' faction seconded the proposal.
For the first time, the whole court was in a harmonious atmosphere, and there was no dispute!
The emperor suddenly looked at Jingrong with half-squinted eyes, and even had the illusion of miscalculation in his heart!
He originally wanted Jing Rong to become the target of the public, and deliberately exalted him to make everyone hate him, but he didn't expect that the people who belonged to several forces above the court would actually promote him at the same time! What a means! He actually forced him, the emperor, to ride a tiger!
Naturally, the emperor decreed that Jing Rong was appointed as the secretary of the Criminal Department.
After getting out of the court, the fifth prince quickened his pace to catch up with Jing Rong and invited: "Jing Rong, congratulations on your promotion again, how about it?
Jing Rong refused indifferently. "I'm going back to the house and I'm the first to inform my wife. ”
The fifth prince was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that Zhuo Nan had been specially given a first-grade lady by the Queen Mother, and Jing Rong was only an official of the third rank before, and now he has been promoted to a second-grade official of the Criminal Department, but it is equivalent to a three-level promotion compared to the previous official position!
I have to go home to show off to Zhuo Nan and increase my face.
It seems that Jing Rong doesn't like to be pressed by his own wife!
The Prime Minister walked from behind the two.
Jing Rong and the five princes bowed their heads at the same time and shouted, "Father-in-law." ”
The Prime Minister responded with majesty. "Hmm. He looked at Jingrong and said, "Take Nan'er back to the house in the evening, and ask Mrs. to prepare a banquet to celebrate you." He glanced at the Fifth Prince. "The five princes can also bring the princess when they are free. Without waiting for Jingrong to refuse to leave.
The fifth prince looked at Jing Rong with a smile on his face and said: "There is a father-in-law to celebrate you, it seems that there is no need for this prince to do more, congratulations! ”
Jing Rong nodded coldly and left.
The fifth prince stared at Jing Rong's departing back, and the gloom of his eyes flashed.
The eunuch came over with all his wealth.
The fifth prince glanced at him and ordered, "Go to Yaohua Palace." ”
"No. The eunuch Quan Cai followed the five princes to the Yaohua Palace where the five princesses lived.
Arriving at the palace gate of Yaohua Palace, Cistanche personally came out to greet her.
The fifth prince asked as he walked forward, "How did the fifth princess sleep last night?"
Cistanche, who slept all morning, didn't dare to hide anything, and told the truth about the fact that the fifth princess couldn't sleep last night and woke up several times in one night. "The fifth princess couldn't sleep at night, and in the morning she went to the imperial study to meet the saint, but her face was swollen after returning to the palace. ”
When the fifth prince heard this, he stopped, turned his head and stared at Cistanche with fierce eyes, and repeated word by word: "She, her face, is swollen!"
Cistanche lowered her head.
The fifth prince stared at Cistanche with a gloomy face, then suddenly turned around and continued to walk forward. No wonder his father easily exposed the matter of the criminal department's Shangshu, and did not order others to continue to investigate, I am afraid that Hui Yi went to the imperial study to ask his father!
After the five princes entered the main hall, Quan Cai and Cistanche stopped outside the door of the main hall at the same time and did not follow up.
As soon as the five princes entered the main hall, they saw the five princesses coming up. "Fifth brother. ”
The fifth prince saw the swollen left side of the fifth princess's face at a glance, and reached out to touch it but was afraid that she would hurt. “…… Father's beating?"
The fifth princess hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
The eyes of the fifth prince were slightly gloomy. "You pleaded for Lord Tong?"
The fifth princess shook her head with a depressed expression. "My father beat me because ...... Because I asked him for a holy decree to give marriage, I want to marry Tong Yuwen ....... ”
Even if the fifth prince had expected it, he still felt a little unacceptable. "How could my father agree to ......?" suddenly thought of something, and his eyes widened instantly. “…… You won't be ......?!"
The fifth princess nodded and silently shed tears. "I told my father that I was already Tong Yuwen's person....... Suddenly threw himself into the arms of the five princes, crying sad and desperate.
The fifth prince didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hold her and let her tears wet his clothes.
The fifth princess cried for a while before stopping.
The fifth prince took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears, and teased: "Look at your crying has become ugly." ”
The fifth princess snatched the handkerchief from the hands of the five princes at once, and wiped her tears.
The fifth prince reached out and touched her hair, wanting to mention that Jingrong had become the secretary of the criminal department. Seeing that she was already so sad, at this time, she was afraid that she would touch the scene and be afraid that she would touch the scene, so she simply concealed it. stood up and said, "You're okay, fifth brother is relieved." It was inconvenient for the fifth brother to stay in the palace for a long time so as not to attract the suspicion of his father, so he returned home first. ”
"Hmm. The fifth princess personally sent the five princes to the gate of the palace, watching his back until he disappeared.
The fifth prince left Yaohua Palace, and just left the palace with the eunuch Quancai, but happened to see Haiyue get into a carriage and leave quickly.
The eunuch Quan Cai retracted his gaze and looked at the five princes and said, "Master, the one sitting in the carriage is the divine doctor, and the direction of departure should be back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
The fifth prince did not respond, and watched as the coachman in the palace stopped in front of him with the carriage in his carriage, stepping on the coachman's back and getting into the carriage.
The eunuch Quancai also got into the carriage immediately.
The eunuch Quan Cai said while making tea: "The queen mother was just a little bit in good shape and let the doctor go back to the prime minister's mansion, and the queen mother really has a deep sisterly affection for the prime minister's wife." ”
The fifth prince glanced at Quan Cai, and sneered in his eyes. "The Queen Mother is afraid that the Prime Minister will be unfavorable to the Prime Minister's wife again. ”
Quan Cai served the freshly brewed tea, and said with a flattering face: "The more trouble the Queen Mother makes with the Prime Minister, the more beneficial it will only be to you." ”
The fifth prince raised his eyebrows, took a sip of the teacup, and his eyes were full of pride.
In the carriage heading to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Haiyue was also serving tea and waiting for Yan to rejuvenate.
Yan Huichun looked at Haiyue and said with a smile in his eyes: "Miss Haiyue, you are not used to using subordinates from a poor background, you don't have to serve me in the future." ”
Haiyue looked at him affectionately and did not respond.
Yan Huichun took a sip of the teacup, then put it down, picked up the curtain and looked out at the passing scenery.
