Chapter 17 Husband and Wife Rivalry
"Wu Sheng, why did Master Hou let you come, why were you in such a hurry, you couldn't wait for me to return home?" After the carriage moved again, Yuan Zheng said lightly.
Others may treat him as a weak scholar because of Yuan Zheng's gentle temperament, but Wu Sheng has served by Jingnanhou's side for many years, and he knows the master's half-brother very well, and he does not dare to underestimate him at all.
Seeing him ask, Wu Sheng hurriedly replied: "Second master, the king of Han wants to hire the eldest girl as the main concubine, and the staff in the palace have different opinions, and the Hou Ye can't pay attention to it for a while, so he hurriedly sends his subordinates down to ask the second master for an idea." ”
Han Wang Yu Wenchang Yuan Zheng couldn't help sneering in his heart, his good big brother still has no growth, he is always unwilling to be an ordinary noble, he has been committed to breaking into the power center of the Great Zhou for more than ten years, but he really doesn't dare to compliment people and things, this time it is even more ridiculous!
King Han is the youngest son today, he is not yet the age of the crown, and his biological mother is just a palace man who can't even remember his majesty's appearance. Not only does he have no foundation and his homework is mediocre, what does the eldest brother like about him?
"King Han has recently started to go to court?" Yuan Zheng couldn't see the slightest fluctuation on his face, and glanced at Wusheng, "Or ...... Which favored lady in the palace has taken a fancy to King Han?"
Wu Sheng secretly sighed in his heart, the one in front of him really threw off his own marquis ten streets, but he just dared to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "Concubine Shuniang has no children under her knees, and asked His Majesty to record His Royal Highness the King of Han in his name, and His Majesty agreed." ”
"Did His Royal Highness King Jin enter Beijing before you came to Jiangnan?" Yuan Zheng did not continue to dwell on the question of King Han, and asked with raised eyebrows.
Wu Sheng couldn't turn the corner for a while, and was slightly stunned for a moment: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived in the capital at the beginning of next month, but until the day his subordinates leave the capital, he has not been summoned by His Majesty, but the Princess of Jin brought a few little imperial grandchildren into the palace to meet the queen mother. ”
Yuan Zheng stroked his chin, and after a moment of silence, he said, "When you go back, tell the Marquis, don't speculate on the holy will." Other than that...... The eldest girl has reached the age of thirteen, and she is virtuous and wise, so it is better to choose a good son-in-law to set up a family affair. ”
Wu Sheng is not a reckless man, although Yuan Zheng's words are vague, he completely understands them, it seems that the second master is not optimistic about the King of Han, but His Royal Highness the King of Jin......
Yuan Zheng saw that he had already understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and said: "Since Hou Ye is in a hurry to wait for a reply, I won't do much to keep it, you can return to Beijing immediately, let Hou Ye think more and talk less when he encounters trouble, and stabilize the current situation." ”
The space in the carriage was narrow and inconvenient for the big salute, so Wu Sheng hugged his fist towards Yuan Zheng: "Subordinate Second Master Xie for guidance." Then he flashed out of the carriage.
Yuan Zheng leaned on the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes, but his thoughts still did not leave the topic of Fang Cai.
Today's majesty is considered a generation of male lords, but the more such emperors are more suspicious, and they are slow to express their intentions in the major affairs of the prince, and the princes have bred many ideas that should not be had, and even the king of Han wants to intervene, how big his heart is, how fat his courage is!
If Sister Xiang is that old, no matter whether she is in poor health or not, I am afraid that the King of Han will have the courage to go to His Majesty to ask for marriage!
Concubine Shu had a good calculation, and the idea hit him. In her opinion, to hold the Jingnan Hou Mansion is to pull herself, and then to pull the head of the dynasty, and even Gu Xi's husband, the Pei family. Although King Jin is the son-in-law of the Pei family, on the surface, he has already lost the emperor's heart, and if he has the opportunity to envelop another prince, of course the Gu family and the Pei family should not refuse.
This woman seems to be smart, but she is also very stupid, because she has been so favored in recent years, serving by His Majesty's side all day long, but she can't even understand who the person next to the pillow wants to inherit the unification!
But then again, who can really understand this old fox?
I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about it, Yuan Zheng rubbed his sore temples, which son did the old emperor let inherit the throne and do his own!
The carriage quickly drove into Hangzhou City, and after arriving at the mansion of the political envoy, Yuan Zheng personally helped the old lady and Doudou out of the carriage.
※※※※
In the main room, Gu Chaozheng stretched out her slender jade hand to let Bihe paint it for her, the bright color was smeared on the perfectly trimmed nails, and her hands were lined like sheep fat jade, and the few maids waiting next to her, even if they were women, were swaying in their hearts.
The eldest girl said softly: "Madam, the master sent a message in the morning to say that he would return to the house in the afternoon, so he would be there soon." ”
Gu Chao didn't raise his eyelids, and gently blew his freshly painted nails and said, "What's the hurry, although I don't bother to take care of the affairs in the house, I still have a few henchmen, and when he comes back, naturally someone will come to inform him in advance." ”
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a young man who had just kept his head to reply in a loud voice outside the door: "Madam, the old lady is back, but the old lady is also here, and there is ......" He didn't dare to say the rest of the words so loudly.
Gu Chao stood up and walked out of the house, the little guy didn't dare to look directly at the master, and quickly lowered his head.
"What else?" Although Gu Chao's voice was not loud, it was a little aggressive.
The little girl stubbornly said: "Madam, the master brought back a little girl of six or seven years old, and ...... Exactly like you. ”
"What! can you see clearly?" Gu Chao's voice suddenly rose a lot, and the little guy shook in fright.
"You all go down, my wife and I have something to say. This voice was like heaven for the little girl, and he quickly shrank his head and retreated with a group of maids.
Gu Chao stared at Yuan Zheng with red eyes, his snow-white and neat teeth biting his lip flap tightly, as if she was going to pounce on her desperately if he didn't give an explanation.
Yuan Zheng's most annoying thing is that she looks like this, she still listens to the wind and rain when she is old, and she starts to make trouble before things are clear.
He walked over and grabbed Gu Chao's arm and dragged her directly into the house.
"Yuan Zheng, how do you explain this matter? The girls in the outer room have all entered the house, what do you want me to do!" Entering the room, Gu Chao screamed even more unscrupulously.
"Gu Chao, do you want to insult me or yourself like this? If I really like any woman, I will never let her become a concubine, let alone an outer room! My children must be upright all their lives, outer room girl, you can say it!" Yuan Zheng mocked.
"Do you mean to let me invite myself down to the court and fulfill you?" Gu Chao sneered.
Yuan Zheng completely lost patience with her, this woman couldn't understand human words at all, "Gu Chao, do you think that my Yuan Zheng is a cheap skin, find an outer room and find someone exactly like you, and then give birth to a daughter who is exactly the same as you, I won't be tired of you like this, right?"
