Chapter 43: King Tai of the Great Zhou

Qian Yuning lived a leisurely life in Qingyin Temple, ate well, slept well, except for no freedom, everything else was quite good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Compared to it, Cui Shuyan is much more difficult. Because she didn't promise Ye Hongqiu to give her a short sword and red beans, Ye Hongqiu didn't even want 20,000 taels of silver. Cui Shuyan had no choice but to send people to find it by himself, and he also went out to the surrounding areas of the capital many times, but he was never able to find out the news of Qian Yuning. He also sent someone to keep an eye on Aunt Xiaoyu, but often under the gaze of more than two masters, she could disappear silently at night, and then reappear after a day or two. Obviously, Aunt Xiaoyu knew that someone was spying on her, and, perhaps, she knew that it was the person she sent out.

What made Cui Shuyan even more annoyed was that the matter of sending someone to investigate Qian Yuning was known by His Royal Highness King Cheng, and he was called to scold him, saying that he didn't do anything for a woman, and he didn't know what to do. Cui Shuyan held back his anger, his face was gloomy all day, and he saw that the iron head who was following him was frightened, and he was always waiting carefully, afraid that he would be unhappy and let himself go

Cui Shuyan knows the ambition of His Royal Highness King Cheng, he has always been an ambitious person, and he will never be willing to condescend to others, and he has been with him since he was a child, because he knows that His Royal Highness King Cheng will not be a thing in the pool in the future, and he is quite noble, and he sees that the King of Thailand is absurd and unreasonable, so he decided to follow him.

Two days ago, when the emperor went to court, he fainted in the court, the ministers were panicked, and the princes were even more uneasy. Everyone was relieved to see that the emperor was unharmed.

Although the emperor was in poor health, the peace affairs of the Blue Moon Kingdom could not be delayed for a long time, so he ordered the three princes to handle it with full authority. The emperor's move was extremely embarrassing to the king of Thailand, and it stands to reason that if the monarch is ill and cannot handle state affairs, the prince can be given the right to assist in supervising the country, and learn how to handle state affairs under the guidance of the monarch's father, the emperor, so as to prepare for the future accession to the throne. Preparing for the princess to marry and marry has always been a matter of the prince's share, and now the Great Zhou Kingdom has not yet set up a prince, and the emperor is seriously ill and does not choose the eldest prince King Tai but the third prince Xinwang, everyone privately speculates in their hearts about the holy will, could it be that the emperor intends to set up the three princes as the prince?

On the same day, the king of Thailand returned home angrily, and killed two slaves and maids, the princess of Thailand stepped forward to dissuade her, but was overthrown to the ground, and blood was wiped out of her arm. After a while, the drum beat the bell, the sound of silk and bamboo came, and the princess of Thailand sent people to check, and sure enough, she saw His Royal Highness the King of Thailand and Concubine Huang drinking and having fun in the palace. The princess of Thailand felt disheartened, prepared a carriage, and returned to her mother's home, General Li's mansion.

The princess of Thailand is the eldest daughter of Huwei general Li Maoyan Li Cuiying, the emperor gave marriage that day, married to His Royal Highness the King of Thailand, and the princess of Thailand entered the house with the third daughter of the Huang Yushi family, Huang Meier, the third daughter of the Huang Imperial Historian, the concubine Huang is charming, the eyes will hook people, and she is good at all kinds of vocal music and dance, and she won the favor of the King of Thailand as soon as she entered the house. Princess Li Cuiying of Thailand was born in Jiangmen, with a good character, and she couldn't see these concubines in the room, Yingying Yanyan, so she found an opportunity to rectify the Huang side concubine, and the yellow side concubine was angry with the Thai princess Li Cuiying, so she ran to the ear of the Thai king to blow the pillow wind, and said bad things about the Thai princess and many nots. The King of Thailand didn't like the Princess of Thailand to be serious and didn't understand the customs, but after hearing these words, he didn't like it even more, and he never went to the Princess of Thailand's bedroom again. The princess of Thailand has been unfavored for a long time, and she is not ashamed to put down her body to please His Royal Highness the King of Thailand, but she endures it, and she raises her posture, so that she has been pregnant, but let her opponent Huang Fang Concubine get pregnant, and gave birth to the eldest son of His Royal Highness the King of Thailand, Murong Qianlai, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, although he is only a concubine, but Murong Qian is quite loved by the emperor, and he ordered to invite the university scholar Zhao Dongyang to teach. Concubine Huang relied on having a son, and acted according to the specifications of the princess of Thailand everywhere, so that the princess of Thailand was restrained everywhere, and His Royal Highness the King of Thailand also ignored this matter, which seemed to be a tacit acquiescence.

For the Thai princess Li Cuiying, this time the king of Thailand pushed her down, which has never happened before, the king of Thailand obviously did not care about her in his heart Li Cuiying half a minute, for a while he couldn't bear to be angry, and went home impulsively and angrily.

Seeing her daughter coming back alone, Mrs. Li was quite surprised: "Why did my son come home today, and he didn't let anyone say a word, so that he could welcome you and His Royal Highness the King of Thailand for his mother."

When Li Cuiying saw her mother, she felt aggrieved, tears came out at once, and she covered her sleeves and cried: "My daughter is not filial, she can't stand the anger of His Royal Highness the King of Thailand, and she came back by herself." She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her bloodstained arms, and Mrs. Li, who saw it, was heartbroken, and hurriedly asked someone to fetch hot water to clean the wound, and then applied medicine, changed clothes, and the two mothers and daughters sat down and talked carefully.

Mrs. Li said angrily: "How dare His Royal Highness the King of Thailand be rude to you Princess of Thailand!" Don't be afraid, talk to your mother, and ask your father to call the shots for you. ”

Li Cuiying cried: "Mother, my daughter has no choice, since his daughter married His Royal Highness the King of Thailand, he doesn't like it everywhere, just because his daughter looks mediocre, Concubine Huang has no virtue or talent, just because of her beauty, His Royal Highness the King of Thailand has a lot of favor, and Concubine Huang has a favor with His Royal Highness the King of Thailand and can't get along with me everywhere." Five years ago, since she had a son, she has become even more serious and doesn't take me seriously. Now in the palace of the king of Thailand, everyone thinks she is the princess of Thailand, so what am I? ”

Seeing that her daughter was crying pitifully, Mrs. Li stepped forward and hugged Li Cuiying in her arms, patted her on the back like when she was a child, and helped her to calm down, so as not to cry out of breath.

Mrs. Li was angry in her heart, heartache and hatred and said to Li Cuiying: "You are a princess of Thailand, and you will be the princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom after the king of Thailand is crowned prince in the future, but you are so uncontrollable, just ask how you will be the mother of the world in the future!" Tell me, what is your Royal Highness blaming you for? ”

Li Cuiying said sadly: "His Royal Highness the King of Thailand has become more and more irritable in the past two years, and he has to kill the servant maids and servants every month. I rushed over to dissuade me, not wanting to annoy His Highness, and overthrew me to the ground on the spot. The more Li Cuiying spoke, the more sad she became, and she picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter, and when she saw her crying, she took out the handkerchief she was carrying with her to wipe her tears, and said: "The King of Thailand actually did this, why didn't you say it when you went home to save your relatives a few years ago?" ”

Li Cuiying bit her lower lip and said after a while: "My daughter doesn't want her father to think that her daughter is not doing well, and she doesn't want her father to worry about it." ”

Mrs. Li was angry: "My son is confused, your father is the general of the Chaozheng Yipin Huwei, and the King of Thailand is only because he married you, our Li family is willing to take care of him, you can rest assured, my Li family's daughter will not be bullied." Your dad is in charge for you. ”

The mother and daughter were talking, the Li family came, saw that the younger sister was crying and her eyes were red, her mother comforted her on the side, the smile on Li Guan's face was accepted, and she stepped forward to greet her mother first: "Mother is well, what's wrong with my sister?" ”

Li Cuiying saw her eldest brother Li Guan and shouted with a crying voice: "Brother." ”

After all, she is a compatriot, although Li Guan does not have much contact with Li Cuiying on weekdays, but after all, she is his own sister, and now she is the princess of Thailand, he still values this sister very much in his heart.

Li Guan asked again: "Sister, what's wrong, who bullied you, brother will clean it up for you." ”

Li Cuiying glanced at her mother, but she was in tears, and did not answer her brother's words, Mrs. Li said, "Guan'er, did your father go to court?" ”

Li Guan: "My father came back with his child all the way, and now he probably goes to the study. ”

Mrs. Li said: "Since my son has returned home, let's go and see your father, you two father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time." Mother Jiang, go to the small kitchen and bring me the lotus seed soup I made in the afternoon. ”

Jiang's mother answered.

Mrs. Li said to Li Cuiying: "Your father has been worried about state affairs recently, and he can't sleep at night, and he has to sleep with this lotus seed every day recently. ”

Li Cuiying responded, and after a while, Jiang's mother brought a cup of lotus seed soup and a rich white glazed porcelain bowl and spoon with a tray, Li Cuiying took it, and went to the study with her mother and brother.

General Li was very surprised when he saw his daughter at first glance, and he was angry before and after he asked what had happened, he was already a brave and capable man, and his temper was relatively big, and his temperament was short and simple. Since his daughter married His Royal Highness the King of Thailand, he has been wholeheartedly loyal to the King of Thailand, and the King of Thailand has been very polite to him, but he didn't expect his daughter to be so neglected by the King of Thailand, and he has not given birth to a son until now. For this matter, although General Li is a rough man who leads troops to fight, but he also has a plan in his heart, he himself will do his best to help His Royal Highness the King of Thailand ascend to the throne, and his daughter has also become the queen, it can be said that the scenery is infinite, and it is unspeakably expensive, but the daughter has nothing to do, and the throne of the Great Zhou cannot be inherited by his grandson in the future? No matter how you think about it, you feel cautious and unreliable.

General Li glared at his daughter and said: "Why should Her Royal Highness the Princess of Thailand be angry with Her Royal Highness the King of Thailand, now you go back, you must not leave the Royal Palace of Thailand at will in the future, now your first thing is to give birth to His Royal Highness the King of Thailand's son-in-law, as for things like Concubine Huang, someone will help you take care of it." For the father, give you another year, if you still can't give birth to a son by then, let your four sisters help you. ”

General Li gave some orders, Li Cuiying was even more panicked in her heart, and returned to the backyard with Mrs. Li, and there was a burst of crying, Mrs. Li did not persuade her this time, but said to her sharply: "My son, as the princess of Dazhou, is graceful and polite, how can he cry and cry, what kind of system has become, let the subordinates see the joke." Concubine Huang and others just jumped off the beam clown, for the mother to ask Jiang's mother to follow you into the palace, from now on, you just have to listen to Jiang's mother's teachings, and conceive a dragon grandson within a year, in order to ensure ten thousand years of wealth. The fourth girl, this little girl, is just the daughter of a concubine, you must not let her pass you, you are the eldest daughter of the wife of the general Huwei, you must not let people think that you are weak and deceitful. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Thailand remembers. ”

Li Cuiying seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, and she was busy sobbing to stop her tears, and nodded solemnly, she could only listen to Mrs. Li now.

Mrs. Li called Mother Jiang and instructed her alone: "Mother Jiang, now I will entrust Her Royal Highness Princess Tai to you, I must let her conceive a boy, hey!" This is also to blame me, Cuiying was always pampered when she was a child, and she was spoiled, and now when something happens, she is actually six gods and no owner. When Japan wants to marry her to the ordinary family, that is, I didn't expect the emperor to marry, jumped on the branch and became the princess of Thailand, although our family is richer from now on, but, but it is also more dangerous, if the princess of Thailand has nothing to do, I am afraid that she will be abolished, the lord will not allow this kind of thing to happen, he has already selected the four girls in the house to prepare, I think we only have one year, if within a year, the princess of Thailand is still pregnant, the four girls of the princess of Thailand are decided. You also know that the aunt of these four girls is just a girl who combed my hair before, and this girl's daughter is on the stage, isn't this girl going to cross me? ”

Mother Jiang solemnly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "Entrusted by Madame, I will never give up, the whole family of the slave and maid was saved by Mrs., and the slave and maid will remember Mrs. Grace for the rest of her life." Five years ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Thailand was only 15 years old when she married into the Thai Palace. The fourth lady has a thin body, a cold face, not a rich and noble appearance, Mrs. rest assured, the slave maid will definitely let Her Royal Highness the Princess of Thailand give birth to a son-in-law to repay Mrs. Dayou's great kindness. ”

Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Mother Jiang should pay more attention to Concubine Huang, she gave birth to the eldest son of His Royal Highness the King of Thailand, I heard that this son is very intelligent and is quite favored by the emperor, I look at this Concubine Huang, speaking of this, Mrs. Li paused, stared at Mother Jiang's eyes fixedly, and gently spit out four words from her mouth, "She can't keep it." ”

Mother Jiang slammed her head to the ground without hesitation, and answered a word in her mouth: "Yes." ”

Mrs. Li smiled with satisfaction, the wrinkles on her face relaxed, like a blooming chrysanthemum, she called the big maid and gave Jiang's mother 50,000 taels of silver tickets, and took out a land deed, and said to Jiang's mother: "This 50,000 taels of silver tickets you can use at any time on your body, and some gold and silver gadgets, take them to the house to dot, this title deed is a Zhuangzi for me to marry, now give it to your family, tomorrow I will let people pick up your son and pregnant daughter-in-law to Zhuangzi to give birth." When you successfully complete your task, I will remove the slavery of your whole family, and let your children and grandchildren participate in the imperial examination in the future. ”

Just now, Jiang's mother was still calm and cautious, and now she listened to Mrs. Li's words, she was very happy, crying with joy, kneeling down and kowtowing three times, showing her loyalty, to say that she is only half of the loyalty, and now it is very determined, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess of Thailand is pregnant, and then solve the Huang side concubine, her family can become a good citizen in the future, no longer a slave, for this, Jiang's mother is not desperate.
