Chapter 410: The Autumn Moon of the Four Great Talents
Su Xueyun saw that Zhu Pingting was a little unable to speak, and took the initiative to ask: "On the day of Taishi's birthday, the emperor knew that Zhu Zijian used his power for personal gain to deprive Zhou Wenbin of his qualifications for the exam, is it related to that incident?" ”
Zhu Pingting nodded and said, "It's true that it was because of that incident, but even if there was no incident that day, I plan to expose Zhu Zijian's villain behavior in front of my father!" After my father returned from the Taishi Mansion that day, he slapped Zhu Zijian as soon as he saw him, and he didn't listen to the villain's explanation. I was so relieved to see it at the time, who knew that my father was actually angry at me again! He's just inexplicable, God knows I didn't say a word, what does it matter if he's not happy about me? And that bad woman, who has been fanning the flames and saying bad things about me, I was almost grounded by my father! I'm! ”
An An added next to him: "It's not that it's almost grounded, it's really grounded." We ran away today, and we don't know what punishment we will receive when we go back. ”
Su Xueyun smiled and said meaningfully: "That day at the birthday banquet of the Grand Master, my father-in-law and his two friends shined, won the emperor's appreciation, and gave them a seat, which is second only to the prince. ”
Zhu Pingting was surprised: "Your two friends? Is there a Wen Zhengming? She immediately sat up straight and explained with a little blush, "I mean...... Who are your two friends? ”
Zhu Xiaolian smiled and said: "It's Wenbin and Zhengming, they both behaved very well, the emperor attached great importance to them, and said that he would let them be officials after Enke." I think as long as there are no accidents, they will all have a good life in the future. ”
Zhu Pingting said happily: "Really? That's great! He has always been determined to serve the country, and now he can get his wish. ”
Su Xueyun quipped: "Who is that 'he' you are talking about?" Why don't we understand it? ”
Zhu Pingting's face turned completely red, and then she found that Su Xueyun and the others all had clear expressions, and said angrily: "Oh! Together, you tease me! Yes, I like Wen Zhengming, I dare to admit it if I like it, and I said the same thing to my father. He's so good, so righteous, so principled, isn't it normal for me to like him? Her face changed suddenly, and she frowned, "My father will never scold me for no reason, so he lost his temper with me that day because Wen Zhengming was clear?" ”
An An said strangely: "But why? If the prince doesn't want Miss you to be with Wen Gongzi, even if Wen Gongzi becomes an official in the court, he is not as noble as the prince, why does he scold you because of Wen Gongzi? ”
Su Xueyun reminded: "Maybe it's because Zhengming got the emperor's blue eyes and hindered some of the prince's plans?" As far as I know, Zhengming was invited to the palace once before, but he was not very happy when he came back, and he didn't say anything when we asked him, but just studied harder and harder. I can see that he has something on his mind, but he is very stubborn, and we really can't help what he doesn't want to say. ”
Qiu Xiang nodded and said: "Yes, Zheng Ming didn't know what to eat when he came to our house to eat in the past few days, you must know that he usually likes to eat our family's food the most." ”
Zhu Pingting thought about it for a long time, and suddenly slapped the table and said, "I thought of it!" When you first arrived in the capital, I heard Zhu Zijian and his subordinates say that they would abolish Wen Zhengming's hands so that he could not participate in the imperial examination and not be the champion. I told my dad about it, and of course Zhu Zijian, the villain, didn't admit it, but my dad still reprimanded him severely, and then I forgot about it. Now that I think about it, at that time, my father would train Zhu Zijian because he didn't know that he liked Wen Zhengming, and when he found out, he insisted that Wen Zhengming was not suitable for me, and that day Wen Zhengming went to my house, and my father didn't know what to tell him when I was dressed in the room, but when I went out, he was already gone, and only left me a letter, saying that he was not worthy of me...... I'm so! ”
Su Xueyun waited for her to vent for a long time, and it wasn't until Xiao Er brought the food that Su Xueyun opened her mouth to persuade: "Since you have found the reason, there must be a solution, Hi Ting, don't be angry, let's eat something first." We thought while eating, by the way, do you know why the prince doesn't like Zhengming? ”
Zhu Pingting took a sullen bite of a piece of meat and said in a low voice: "My father said that Wen Zhengming is pedantic and difficult to become a big weapon. But what I like about Wen Zhengming is that I like him to be upright, and I don't want him to be a big official. My father is a prince, I was born to be the lord of the county, I can't raise my status if I marry anyone, can I? ”
Su Xueyun raised her eyebrows slightly, "That's not necessarily, we really can't elevate your identity, but there are other places, such as Tatar, you can be a princess, and you will be a queen of Tatar in the future." ”
Zhu Pingting choked instantly, and kept patting her chest. An An hurriedly stepped forward to help, and tossed for a while before he came to his senses. Zhu Pingting's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Is this possible?" Qiuyue, don't scare me, I'm very timid! ”
Zhu Xiaolian said while eating: "My sister-in-law is never scary, she said that if it is possible, it must be possible." ”
Zhu Pingting stood up abruptly and paced anxiously in the box, "It's over, my father has been entertaining the Tatar prince for the past two days, I thought they were talking about national affairs, and I didn't pay attention to it at all." It's over, what if my father really wants to marry me to a Tatar prince? My dad is very specialized. He didn't listen to my advice at all. She stopped and said in a broken tone, "There's no way, just let me elope with Wen Zhengming!" Just go to a place where my dad can't find us. ”
Zhu Pingting rushed over and grabbed Su Xueyun's hand and asked for help: "Qiuyue, Wen Zhengming said that you are very smart and capable, you can help me, I really can't help it, I told me where to go and I won't be found by my father, I can't marry a Tatar prince!" ”
An An was so frightened that she was about to cry, pulled Zhu Pingting's sleeve and said, "Miss, you can't go, what should I do if you leave?" If the master knows about it, he will kill me, please, miss. ”
Zhu Pingting looked at An An at a loss, "Then what should I do?" Otherwise, An'an, you can come with me! ”
Su Xueyun patted her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, we haven't finished talking yet, why are you in a hurry?" Although the prince is in a high position, it doesn't mean that we can't stop his decision, you see that he was so angry on the day of Taishi's birthday, it must be because something happened that made him unhappy, and he couldn't do everything he wanted. ”
Zhu Pingting said with a smile: "Yes, the only one who can balance my father in the court is Hua Taishi, and he admires Wen Zhengming very much, do you want me to go to Taishi for help?" ”
Qiu Xiang shook her head and said: "No, I know the character of the master, he will never help this kind of help, he will only participate in the prince's strict management of the family." ”
Su Xueyun smiled, got up and pressed Zhu Pingting back to her seat, and said, "The method I said has nothing to do with the Taishi, but don't forget, the emperor also admires Wen Zhengming." As long as Wen Zhengming wins the top prize in the examination, he will have more weight in the emperor's heart, then he will ask the emperor to give you a marriage when the emperor is in a good mood, and the emperor will definitely agree, and even the prince will not be able to refuse at that time. So we just need to make sure that you don't get married before Enko is over, for example, to divert the prince's attention. ”
Zhu Pingting nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, no one can object to the emperor's marriage." Hey? But how easy is it to win the champion? What if Wen Zhengming fails the test? ”
"I've seen his articles and I think he's going to make it to high school. Even if he really doesn't win, a student who is remembered by the emperor has a future than the champion, and he can still ask the emperor for marriage. Su Xueyun thought of the selfish prince, and felt a little disgusted, but when she saw the county lord who was arrogant on the surface but was actually simple and bold, she couldn't help but help come up with an idea.
Zhu Pingting looked at her curiously and asked, "Then what?" What to distract my dad? ”
Su Xueyun reminded: "Don't you hate that woman? You can start with her, just to give yourself a breath of air. ”
Zhu Pingting clapped her hands and praised, but then she said in a daze: "But I can't fight her, for so many years, every time the two of us face each other, my father scolds me." That fox spirit is angry with my mother, and she blows the pillow wind with my father, and confronts me everywhere, and only my father believes that she is gentle and kind! ”
Zhu Xiaolian said with some fear: "No! There are so many intrigues in your palace? It's not safe to be a princess, and it is possible to be killed by other women, is it true that the higher the official position, the more uneasy the backyard is? ”
Zhu Pingting nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, do you see how many concubines there are in the emperor's backyard?" The queen is so good, and I don't see that the emperor has some respect for her. ”
Su Xueyun gestured and said, "Be careful that the wall has ears, so we don't have to worry about the emperor's backyard." Or talk about that woman, since you said that she did one thing in front of her face and one thing behind her back, then she would be able to show her feet sooner or later. You can try to deliberately stand in front of the door every time you meet her, so that as soon as your dad comes back, you will immediately find out that she has no idea and is likely to show her true colors. Also, you can carefully monitor her to see if she has any unfavorable actions against the prince. As for you saying that every time there is a conflict, you will suffer, you can try to be less tough, and occasionally a little grievance will easily make your father feel guilty. ”
Zhu Pingting snorted coldly, "Who cares about his guilt, he gave the place where my mother lives to that woman to make a Buddhist hall, his guilt is useless at all." But now that the situation is urgent, I have to give it a try, no matter what the result is, I have no loss anyway, and I will be locked up by him again! ”
Su Xueyun nodded, and reminded again: "Regarding the matter between you and the Tatar prince, you can pay attention to it, if the prince and the Tatar prince really have that meaning, I think you can secretly explain the truth to the Tatar prince." He is a prince after all, and he may not be unreasonable and forcibly ask for it, but if the prince has already opened his mouth to marry him, then it will be too hurtful for you to regret it afterwards. You must know that he has come to us not only to represent himself, but also to them Tatar. ”
Zhu Pingting listened to it all, thought about it over and over again, and felt that what Su Xueyun said was reasonable, and the method was also very feasible, and couldn't help laughing: "Qiuyue, you are really smart, you have come up with so many ways in just one meal, no wonder you and your husband and wife are in love, and you get along so well with your sister and sister-in-law, I heard Wen Zhengming say that he admires you and your husband very much, even I can't help but like you when I see you for the first time." ”
Su Xueyun said with a smile: "Actually, as long as you calm down and think carefully, there is always a way, I have only experienced a lot in the rivers and lakes to come up with a way to deal with it so quickly." If you have time in the future, you can go to Zhujia to have tea and chat with us, we welcome you. ”
Zhu Pingting said happily: "Okay, thank you so much today, I'll start to be careful when I go back, that vixen, I don't believe I can't catch her fox tail!" ”
