453 The Nine Emperors
Xiang Wei got the news outside and hurried back to Anfu.
When Yue Yao saw Xiang Wei, she grabbed Xiang Wei's hand and asked, "What's the matter?" How could Tingzheng get hurt? What the hell is going on? ”
Xiang Wei's face was also ugly: "There was an assassin in the palace, and the assassin was going to the Nine Emperor Princes." It happened that Ting Zheng was also present at that time, and Ting Zheng was injured in order to save the Nine Emperor Princes. ”
Yue Yao hurriedly asked, "Is that serious?" Is there a danger to life? ”
Xiang Wei didn't hide Yueyao, and said what she knew: "Tingzheng's injury is not in a critical place, there are imperial doctors in the palace, and there are enough medicinal materials, so there will be no danger to his life." "When the queen goes to the palace to recuperate, she must bring the imperial doctor and medicinal herbs over. Ting Zheng was injured for the Nine Emperor Princes, and the Empress would definitely be gracious.
Yue Yao was relieved to hear that Ting Zheng's life was not in danger, but soon, Yue Yao was worried again, why was she so unlucky to let Ting Zheng run into an assassin to assassinate the prince? There's even more bitter luck than that!
Xiang Wei felt that Tingzheng's luck was very good: "It is a great kindness to save the prince, and when he comes back, the emperor will definitely reward Tingzheng." Xiang Wei is different from Yueyao, she thinks that it is a trivial matter for people who practice martial arts to be injured, as long as they don't hurt the vital parts, she doesn't know how many injuries she suffered back then, and how many scars she left on her body.
Yue Yao said helplessly: "What kind of good thing is this? No matter how bad it is, I still want him to stay away from the land of right and wrong of the Royal Foresters!"
Xiang Wei sighed for a moment: "How can you want Tingzheng to leave the Imperial Forest Army?"
Yue Yao didn't dare to say that the crown prince would die next year, and the prince's battle would be even stronger: "I think it will be smoother to enter the government through the imperial examination." ”
Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao was stupid to study, and she had to do things step by step instead of taking a shortcut: "Even if you want to, Tingzheng won't be willing, not to mention that now Tingzheng has saved the Nine Emperors and has already entered the emperor's eyes." ”
Yueyao's feeling was very bad.
An Zhichen didn't come back that night, but took someone to the palace to pick up the queen back to the palace, and Yueyao was also worried because of Tingzheng's injury.
Three days later, Ting Zheng returned.
Yue Yao saw that Ting Zheng walked in by herself, and it was not carried in as she expected, but she was really relieved.
Ting Zheng didn't need Yue Yao to ask, he told him about that day, according to Ting Zheng, that day was also luck, he happened to meet the assassin assassinating the Nine Emperors, since he saw it, he naturally wouldn't flinch, and immediately stepped forward to help: "Sister, my brother-in-law used to say that I couldn't do kung fu, but after fighting with two assassins, I think my kung fu is no worse than them!" In fact, An Zhichen said that Tingzheng's martial arts are not good, and he is based on his own standards.
Yue Yao had doubts in her heart: "What about the guards around the Nine Emperor Princes?" You must know that every prince will have guards around him, and these guards are carefully selected, and the martial arts are definitely not bad, why did it take Tingzheng's turn to come.
Ting Zheng said: "The Nine Emperor Princes didn't know what was going on at the time, they only brought a personal retinue, and they didn't bring guards, so these assassins took advantage of the loophole. ”
Yue Yao felt that this matter was not so simple.
Ting Zheng also knew that there must be an inside story in this matter, but he didn't want Yueyao to worry, so he said so easily: "Sister, I'm not fine!" Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise, and he will be promoted soon.
Yue Yao told Ting Zheng what she thought.
As Xiang Wei expected, Ting Zheng was reluctant to come out of the Imperial Forest Army to take the martial arts test again: "Sister, it's okay, this time it's just an accident, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." "This kind of thing is rare to encounter once in decades, and it happened to happen to him.
Yueyao looked at Tingzheng's appearance and knew that it was useless to say more, so she could only give up.
Ting Zheng was recuperating at home, but because of his meritorious service in saving the prince, the emperor and the queen rewarded gold, silver, jewelry, cotton satin and other things, and also issued a holy decree to let Ting Zheng serve as a guard for the Nine Emperors.
Yue Yao was dumbfounded when she got this breath, why, how could she become the personal guard of the Nine Emperor Princes? What's going on?
An Zhichen quickly inquired about the news and knew the reason: "This is what the emperor meant, the emperor thinks that there are too few guards around the Nine Emperor Princes, so he transferred twenty people from the Imperial Forest Army, and Tingzheng is also among them." ”
The last thing Yue Yao wants is to be involved with these princes, if she is not careful, not only herself, but also the relatives around her will have to be dragged into the abyss: "Then what to do, is there no room for maneuver?" Yue Yao would really regret it, she knew that she shouldn't have agreed to let Tingzheng go to the Imperial Forest Army that day anyway. Stay in the Xiaoqi camp well, sharpen for two years and then go to the martial arts examination, take the martial arts examination and then enter the ranks, and climb forward step by step.
Although An Zhichen didn't know what medicine was sold in the Nine Emperor Prince's gourd, he was not as worried as Yue Yao: "The Nine Emperor Son has a good temperament, and Ting Zheng will be fine if he follows him." ”
Yueyao often listens to Mingzhu talk about things in the palace, but Mingzhu talks about the four princes and the five princes, as well as the six princes, for the nine princes, Mingzhu basically rarely mentions it, and Yueyao has no impression of him.
An Zhichen said to Yue Yao: "The Nine Emperor Princes were born when the Empress was nearly forty years old, and he is the Queen's old son, and the Empress treats him as if he is a heart, but the Nine Emperor Princes are not spoiled, on the contrary, he is very gentle, and has a very good relationship with the Prince and the Four Princes."
Yueyao slandered in her heart, if she was favored by the queen, it would be normal to be domineering, but she had developed a good character, which made people feel weird.
Yue Yao now feels a little regretful, she only knew that the princes fought fiercely after the crown prince, but she didn't know which princes they were, let alone who became the final big winner.
Tingzheng didn't have any trouble, the emperor wanted him to protect the Nine Emperors, this is a holy decree, it's useless to think about it, Tingzheng looked at the things rewarded by the emperor, and asked all of them to move to Yueyao's place where they lived, and said to Yueyao: "These satins are tribute satin, take them to make more clothes for yourself and Kexin!" Ting Zheng looked at Yueyao's clothes, it seemed that there were only a few sets, and they were dressed very simply, he remembered that every time he saw Qinghan, Qinghan's dress was different, of course, he would definitely not say the words later.
Yue Yao smiled and said, "I'll pick a few." "Yueyao's clothes are actually not a lot, she has to make a few new clothes every quarter, but most of these clothes are worn out as guests, and they are all homely clothes worn at home, these clothes are not many, and they are all simple and elegant, which makes people feel comfortable.
Yue Yao went to Niu Mansion the next day and asked Mingzhu about this Nine Emperor Prince, Mingzhu often walked around the palace, and he must know more than An Zhichen.
Mingzhu thought about it seriously for a while: "The Nine Emperor Sons are premature babies, and his body was very weak when he was born, and he almost died several times, probably because he has been special since he was a child, so he is not in a hurry to do anything." After finishing speaking, Mingzhu also added: "It's the kind of character I hate the most, slow, and anxious to die." ”
A prince who is favored by the emperor and the empress, if there is no special reason, how can he develop a good temperament, Yueyao thought for a while and said, "Do the Nine Emperors have other advantages?"
Mingzhu shook his head and said, "No impression, Bai Yi, do you have an impression?"
Bai Yi naturally had an impression: "If you want to talk about the Nine Emperor Princes, it's really a weird person. ”
Yueyao asked, "What's strange?"
Bai Yi said: "It is said that the Nine Emperors are actually very talented, but he is very lazy, when he went to the study to study, his grades were the first, and when the teacher punished, he said that he did not need to participate in the imperial examination when he studied so many books, and the teacher who choked on the study had nothing to say, and the bow and arrow shooting array was also the first-to-last, he said that he bothered to bother with these things and did not need him to fight, in addition, he was also very indifferent, except for the prince and the four princes, he was very cold to the other princes.
Yue Yao thought this person was very interesting.
Bai Yi thought for a while and then said: "The Nine Emperors turned sixteen years old last year, and generally the prince will be appointed to do errands at this age, the emperor intended to let him go to the military department to exercise last year, but he didn't go for three days, according to him, he said that he was too tired to go to the military department, and he was not comfortable in his own home." "If these Nine Emperor Princes are not their sons-in-law, they will be a forgotten prince with an unknown name.
Yue Yao felt that this person was really lazy: "The Nine Emperors are also seventeen years old this year, why hasn't he been assigned to marry yet?"
Bai Yi said with a smile: "The queen mother chose all the ladies for him, he didn't like any of them, either that the other party was ugly or that the other party was short, and he picked out a bunch of faults, because it was a child, the queen mother inevitably doted on him, so it was natural." ”
Yueyao's heart jumped: "He's so beautiful?" If it is so beautiful, Ting Zheng is going to the side of the Nine Emperors, is it not a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
Bai Yi shook his head: "No, the Nine Emperor Princes are not good at power, they don't love money, and they don't like beauty, as for what he likes, no one knows." ”
Yue Yao thought that this Nine Emperors was very interesting at first, but after listening to it, her heart tightened, and she didn't know why she was jealous of these Nine Emperors, everyone has shortcomings, but these Nine Emperors don't seem to have shortcomings.
Yue Yao hurriedly summoned Xiang Wei back and discussed this matter with Xiang Wei: "I don't know why, I always feel that the Nine Emperors are not simple?" cough, Yueyao once again regretted her disposition in her previous life.
Xiang Wei frowned, and said with a smile after a while: "You also think too much, even if the Nine Emperor Princes really have the intention to plan something, so what?" Even if his target is An Zhichen, An Zhichen is not something he can calculate. ”
Yue Yao felt that this was reasonable.
Xiang Wei has another opinion on the assassination of the Nine Emperor Princes: "Girl, why do I think that this matter is really not the Nine Emperor Princes, but the queen!"
Yueyao's face was a little pale, the palace battle, if she was not careful, she would have to bleed like a river, she really didn't want to get involved in these rights and wrongs.
Xiang Wei also thought of another possibility from Yueyao's words: "Girl, you don't know much about foreign affairs, the emperor and the queen are married couples, the emperor respects the queen very much, and it is also with the queen's mediation that the prince's prince will be so stable!" To tell Wei that the queen is a very smart person, of course, if she is not smart, she will not be able to sit on the phoenix throne for forty years without being suspicious of the emperor.
Yue Yao seemed to understand a little: "You mean that the queen is not in good health now, if the Nine Emperor Princes have a case, the queen will definitely not be able to stand it, the queen is gone, and the crown prince's position as the prince is also in jeopardy?" One ring after another, it's really a good idea.
Xiang Wei smiled and said: "This is just my speculation, in fact, you don't have to worry, the assassination of the Nine Emperor Princes this time is also negligence, there should be no such thing in the future, and with the status of the Nine Emperor Princes, he will definitely be able to get a prince in the future, and the court is by his side, and the future will not be bad." ”
Yue Yao slandered in her heart, if the crown prince or the fourth prince won the throne, the nine princes would definitely win the throne like King Duan in the future, and then be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, but if the other princes won the throne, the nine princes would definitely die early in the future.
It's a pity that Yue Shao didn't dare to say her concerns, Xiang Wei is such a keen person, as long as she reveals a few words, she can guess.
Xiang Wei felt that since Yueyao got married, she had become a particularly worrying lord: "This is the emperor's holy decree, you just don't want Tingzheng to go." ”
Yueyao was a little depressed in her heart, not only Xiang Wei, but also An Zhichen and Ting Zheng felt that she was worrying too much.
Yueyao saw her daughter's happy appearance, thinking that as long as An Zhichen was well, the two of them would not be worried, as for Tingzheng, cough, the child has his own ideas when he grows up, let him break through! As for the future, the things to come will be discussed later.
Yue Yao let go of this entanglement, and she no longer asked about Ting Zheng's affairs, she didn't understand the outside affairs, and asking too much would make Ting Zheng think that he couldn't trust him.
Ting Zheng recovered from his injuries and went on an errand again, but this will be different from going to the palace and becoming the follower of the Nine Emperor Princes, which has an advantage, that is, he is freer than before.
Yueyao heard that her uncle Ma Chengteng was sick and took Kexin to visit him.
Since Ma Yue died, Ma Chengteng's health has begun to be bad, and he has been sick from time to time, which makes Yueyao very worried, and suggested that Ma Chengteng go to visit Dr. Li, but Ma Chengteng will not go.
Yue Yao looked at Ma Chengteng, whose face was getting worse and worse, and remembered Lord Niu who also lost his favored son, Lord Niu and Ma Chengteng's situation is similar, both white-haired people send black-haired people, but although Lord Niu had an illness at the time, he quickly recovered, although Mingzhu said that it was because of a small group, but Yue Yao knew very well that Lord Niu could get better so quickly because Niu Yanghui was a filial and capable person, Lord Niu often looked at Niu Yanghui, and his mood was naturally better, and now Ma Fu only has two daughters-in-law in addition to his uncle, The daughter-in-law is only responsible for taking care of the backyard, and the uncle has nothing in his heart that he doesn't even have a person to discuss, so he is depressed, and his health is naturally not good.
Yueyao didn't mention it to Ma Chengteng, parents all over the world, for the sake of his son's career, Ma Chengteng definitely didn't want to mention it.
Yue Yao offered to stay in Mafu to serve the illness, but Ma Chengteng refused: "You have your own home, where can you stay in Mafu?" He is just an uncle, not a father, how can he stay in Mafu and ignore his own home!
Yueyao could only give up, but when she saw Zhuang Ruolan, she said that she wanted Ma Peng to come back, and seeing Zhuang Ruolan's hesitant expression, she said: "Cousin-in-law, the future of the eldest cousin is important, but the uncle's body is even more important. ”
Zhuang Ruolan was a little embarrassed.
Yueyao is usually very talkative, but looking at Ma Chengteng's increasingly weak body, even if she oversteps this time, she will have to take care of this idle matter: "Cousin-in-law, if you feel that it is difficult to speak, I will write this letter." "Although my uncle is a little confused about dealing with the backyard, it is undeniable that my uncle treats her like a daughter of his own relatives, and his uncle will come out to help her with anything, even if she offends her cousin and sister-in-law this time, she will come out of this.
Zhuang Ruolan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll write to my master later." "As for whether to come back or continue in Shandong, it all depends on what your husband wants.
Yue Yao's complexion softened.
Zhuang Ruolan didn't put on a face for Yue Yao, Yue Yao opened her mouth to talk about it, although it made her face a little unpleasant, but it can be seen that Yue Yao is real, not to mention Lu Ying's niece, even Lu Ying only came back once when she knew that her father-in-law was sick, unlike Yueyao, who had to visit her father-in-law every other day, this filial piety could not be faked.
The two chatted for a while, and Yue Yao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is the girl of the Zhang family married?" Yueyao actually thinks that the girl from the Zhang family is very good, but unfortunately Tingzheng doesn't like it.
Zhuang Ruolan nodded and said, "It's a marriage, Mrs. Zhang also told me that the ninth girl is more cheerful than before, thanks to Tingzheng." "It's a pity that I didn't get married, but it's a good thing that the girl of the Zhang family can remove the shadow in her heart.
Yue Yao nodded: "It's good to get married." ”
Zhuang Ruolan said about the Zhang family: "The nine girls of the Zhang family were married in March, and the old lady Zhang died of illness in the second month of the nine girls' marriage. After the old lady became seventy-seven, the Zhang family began to separate. ”
Xiang Wei is now busy with her pastry shop every day, and she has no time to gossip outside, and Drizzle and Xijuan are not as bold as Xiang Wei, unless Yue Yao takes the initiative to ask, the two never take the initiative to talk to Yue Yao about the gossip outside, Yue Yao herself is not a person who likes to listen to other people's private affairs, and Mingzhu knew that Yue Yao wanted to match the Zhang family girl and Tingzheng at that time, so she deliberately avoided the Zhang family when she talked to Yue Yao about outside affairs.
Zhuang Ruolan saw that Yueyao was very interested, and said with a smile: "When the Zhang family was divided, there was a lot of trouble, but the eldest master of the Zhang family is fair, except for the ancestral property, the other industries are divided into four parts, one for each of the four brothers. ”
As soon as Yueyao heard this method of separation, she knew that something was wrong. Yueyao remembered that the fourth master of the Zhang family was a concubine, and where could he share the same industry as his concubine.
Zhuang Ruolan saw what Yue Yao was thinking, and said: "The third room didn't say anything, but the second room refused, and made a fuss, but in the end, it couldn't beat the eldest master." "Because the Zhang family is still keeping filial piety, although the Zhang family is separated, they are not separated from each other, and they can move out only after they have finished keeping filial piety.
Yue Yao smiled. The eldest man of the Zhang family is obviously trying to win over this younger brother, but the second room of the Zhang family is making trouble for this industry, which shows that it is stupid, and the second room will definitely be disliked by the other three rooms in the future.
After Yue Yao left, Caiyun muttered, "Miss Biao, this is really embarrassing. ”
Zhuang Ruolan knew that with Yueyao's temperament, if she didn't write this letter, after two or three months Yueyao didn't get the news, she would definitely write the letter herself, Zhuang Ruolan turned around and went to the study to write the letter, and immediately sent someone to send the letter to Shandong.
Zhuang Ruolan went back to her parents' house the next day to find her father, Master Zhuang, and told Master Zhuang about Ma Peng's situation, Jingguan is a radish and a pit, and if you want to transfer it back, you have to plan early.
Lord Zhuang listened to Zhuang Ruolan's words, nodded and said: "It's good for you to think like this, filial piety comes first, now the in-laws are not in good health, and the son-in-law is now the only heir of the in-laws, so it is reasonable for him to come back, otherwise he will be unfilial by the imperial history, and his future will be ruined." "The most important thing in being an official is a word of filial piety, if it is considered unfilial, it is equivalent to cutting off the future.
Zhuang Ruolan broke out in a cold sweat on her back: "It's my daughter who is not thoughtful, and my father-in-law said that I didn't tell my husband about his illness, so I didn't dare to tell my husband." ”
Zhuang Dadao: "Wait patiently, as long as there is a vacancy, I will keep it for my son-in-law." "Outsiders have to be promoted at least one level for three years, and the official position of the fifth grade is more difficult to find, but the general position is not too difficult.
