Chapter 19 The struggle for power
When Duanwang saw it, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, can his sister not be rich and rude and not look at the money in her eyes, and casually take out a piece of the best Xiuyu toad, although Duanwang is also used to seeing good things, but he still made a sense of joy on his face, "Sister's things are naturally good." www.biquge.infoFifty thousand taels of silver is enough for me to spend for a while, and I can't use anything else for the time being, so you can save it." ”
Zhuang Yan thought for a while and said, "It's okay, prepare it first, in case you can use it in the future." If there's anything, tell Shopkeeper Xin. ”
"Okay." Although Duanwang is calm, he has experienced ups and downs in his life, returned to his youth, and saw his sister who had been guilty for half his life, and finally couldn't help but reveal his youthful heart: "Sister, since the queen mother went, no one has called me by my name for a long time." As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Yan pitifully.
Where has Zhuang Yan seen such a coquettish young man, and his heart is so soft: "Then I will also call you to release slaves in the future?" When you marry a daughter-in-law, you will also be freed from slavery? ”
The young man flattened his mouth: "I'll talk about it later, and you'll call me now." ”
Zhuang Yan raised his hand to touch the young man's eyebrows, "Release the slave, be good." ”
Duan Wang Yang smiled, looking infinitely bewitching against the backdrop of the verdant bamboo forest, Zhuang Yan shook his head in his heart, such a magnificent appearance was fortunately born as a man.
Suddenly, his face straightened up, and he said: "I heard that Lu Yuzeng is quite scheming, and he has managed the Fuyang Bofu Mansion, you and I should meet here today, it should not be too long, I am afraid that he will find out." ”
King Duan still had a casual smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, Zuo is just our cousin and brother have something to say." In his opinion, you are showing favor to me for Bo's future, even if he wants to find out, even I can't find out the matter, Sister, can you let him find out? He also squeezed his eyebrows at Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan amusedly straightened his clothes again.
In the end, they couldn't come out for too long, and the two talked for a while, and then went back separately.
When he returned to the Huxin Pavilion, Zhuang Lingzhao was shaking his fan impatiently.
"Big sister, where did you go? Told me to wait for a long time. Don't forget to look Zhuang Yan up and down, wanting to find some clues.
"There was a small bamboo forest in front of me, so I went in and walked around. It was very cool inside, and I took a short break to let off the heat before coming back. ”
Zhuang Lingzhao looked around, saw that Zhuang Yan's clothes were really stained with a bamboo leaf, and thought that Zhuang Yan had been away from Beijing for ten years, and he had no old friends, so he did not suspect him.
The two sat for a while, seeing that it was getting late, and estimated that the banquet inside was almost over, so they returned to the table.
Rui Wangfu.
Concubine Fu was doing embroidery work under the lamp.
There were two round squats under the kang, and it was her eldest son Zhuang Jingzhen who was sitting.
"It's been a few days, but what's going on in the middle of the court?" Concubine Fu stared at the black green under her son's eyes and said worriedly.
Zhuang Jingzhe has always respected his mother, and feels that his mother's vision and mind are different from ordinary women, and sometimes even his father is not as clear as his mother's view of things, and it is precisely because of this that he often asks his mother for advice when he has difficult things: "The waterway of the two roads in Lu Bin has been unblocked, but there is a dispute between the DPRK and China over the boat." The Anluhou Mansion wanted to take charge of the two provinces, but the Fuyang Bofu believed that it had jurisdiction over the four provinces of Jiangnan, and the two waterways in Lubin were directly inherited from the south of the Yangtze River and should be under the jurisdiction of Fuyang Bo. For this reason, the court and China were arguing, and who knew that the Dingguo Mansion also intervened, saying that the Dingguo Mansion was ordered by the ancestors to govern the southeast, and the two provinces were under their rule. However, His Royal Highness Duan Wang pushed the matter and ignored it, saying that he was only responsible for repairing the waterway, and the ownership of this Cao Yun power is still inconclusive. ”
It is the Anlu Hou Mansion and the Fuyang Bo Mansion that compete for the power of Caoyun.
Fuyang Bofu was in charge of the three provinces of Jiangnan Caoyun for only five years, and the home was a jade fan screen golden red lamp, and on the day of Mrs. Fuyangbo's birthday, the house was full of gold brocade yarn, and he knew that the power of Caoyun was really rich and noble.
The Anlu Marquis Mansion is the maiden family of Wei Guifei, the most favored concubine in the palace, and they want this Cao Yun power, that is, the concubine wants it for the eldest son Rong Wang.
It's no wonder that the Dingguo Mansion, which has always had a transcendent status, also came to intervene, and the Dingguo Duke may not be able to see this, but just want to muddy the water.
Dingguo Gong does not like Fuyang Bofu to sell women for glory, Concubine Shu offended the Queen Mother when she first entered the palace, although the Queen Mother is not the daughter of Dingguo Gong, she is also the outstanding daughter of the clan, Concubine Shu contradicts the Queen Mother, isn't it just pampered and arrogant, provoking the Dingguo Mansion?
Over the years, the Dingguo Mansion has not stumbled on the Fuyang Mansion.
Concubine Fu lowered her eyes and thought for a while: "You don't want to get involved in their immortal fights." After all, you are a royal prince, and the Holy One is not a big measure, so some things should be avoided. ”
Zhuang Jingzhe understands what his mother means, the Duchess of Dingguo and the former queen are close friends in the boudoir, and they also take care of Duanwang, Duanwang and Du Heng, the prince of Dingguo, are even more affectionate since childhood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they grew up wearing a pair of pants.
Dingguo Gong is powerful, even if he unscrupulously expresses his support for King Duan, the saint can't help him.
But he is different, although he is the eldest son of King Rui, the saint's own nephew, and these princes and princes are also cousins, but after all, they are separated by a layer. The princes of all dynasties have taken the heirs, and their fathers and brothers can turn against each other, and his title is now undecided, so he must not take this risk.
Concubine Fu knew that her son had always been wise and could understand it at one point, so she relaxed her heart. I can only hope in my heart that the saint can think of this eldest nephew as soon as possible, and leave the mansion as soon as possible, so that they can live their lives in peace.
Let's go into the palace tomorrow to say hello to the Queen Mother, Zhe'er is also her eldest grandson.
Mingyue buckled it outside the house and said in a low voice, "Madam, the third lady is here." ”
A smile overflowed in Concubine Fu's eyes: "Quickly call her in." At the same time, he also whispered to Zhuang Jingzhe: "It is rare for your brothers and sisters to see each other once, so don't show her face later."
Zhuang Jingzhen has no reason to say no.
Zhuang Lingzhao came in happily, asked Concubine Fu for peace, and complained as soon as he sat down: "Big brother doesn't know what he is busy with every day, and he has long forgotten my own sister to the clouds." If I hadn't come to find my mother today, I wouldn't have been able to catch you! ”
Zhuang Jingzhe looked at his sister's bright eyes and delicate smile, and smiled and begged for mercy: "Foolish brother is wrong, tomorrow I will buy my sister your favorite sugar man." ”
"Phew! Who wants sugar people! Zhuang Lingzhao jumped to his feet in anger. The eldest brother looks old and dignified in front of outsiders, but in fact, he has a bad stomach and is used to bullying her.
"Don't want a sugar man, then I'll find you a husband. No, you are so fierce, there are people there who want it, and you don't have to let my eldest brother raise you for a lifetime. ”
Zhuang Lingzhao was very angry, and he didn't know how to reply to him, so he could only stomp his feet and complain to Concubine Fu: "Mother, look at the eldest brother!" ”
Concubine Fu finished laughing, and suddenly felt that the happiest thing in her life was to watch a pair of children quarrel under the candlelight, and those pampered futures didn't seem to matter.
"Zhe'er, your sister is thin-skinned, you can't say that. Besides, your sister is so fierce, don't they all follow you? In a word, Zhuang Jingzhen joked again.
Zhuang Jingzhen was so embarrassed that he had nothing to say, Zhuang Lingzhao looked at his brother triumphantly--- Look, my mother still favors me." Makes you overwhelmed!
The mother and son laughed for a while, and Zhuang Lingzhao talked about the princess's intention to marry Zhuang Yan at the birthday banquet in Fuyang Bofu two days ago.
"Oh, according to what you said, could it be that the princess is determined to marry her eldest sister out quickly, and she doesn't even care about the family?" Since Zhuang Yan returned home, Zhuang Jingzhe has not seen this eldest sister who has been away from Beijing for ten years, but he vaguely remembers that she was born beautiful and was a beauty embryo when she was a child.
Concubine Fu snorted coldly: "I think this Zhao family is afraid that they even have the idea of sending Sister Yan as a concubine!" ”
