Chapter Fifty-Six: The Princess's Quest for the Title The concubine was secretly entangled
In the face of Emperor Zhenglong's sudden seriousness, the prince looked back at him with a little puzzlement, and asked without even putting down the pen in his hand: "Yes, Aunt Xiaotang asked the princess to entrust her, and the son saw that the little Zhongyi Marquis was also a young and promising person, so he responded with a heart of regret, but is there anything wrong?"
Emperor Zhenglong didn't answer the crown prince, but just looked at the imperial case with a calm face and thoughtfulness for a while, and then sighed softly: "Yes, it's the little Zhongyi Marquis." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Father?" The crown prince called softly, and the palm of the hand holding the pen was already sweating slightly, but his face was not revealing anything, as if he really did not know the frustration and jealousy of Emperor Zhenglong's grandfather and the old Zhongyi Gong who had made great achievements more than thirty years ago.
Emperor Zhenglong waved his hand to the crown prince, signaling that he was fine, and then said with some emotion and nostalgia on his old face: "Speaking of which, his name is still given by me, it's been thirty years, right?"
The prince nodded and promised, took the pen and continued to copy, and the palace next to him was also relieved, and he just wanted to continue reading, but he heard Emperor Zhenglong sigh with a smile: "The loyal and righteous prince of the first emperor was such an outstanding and proud figure back then, and his grandson would not be bad if he thought about it, since he chose to go your way, that is, he wants to be honest with you."
"Father, the sons dare not ......" When the prince heard this, he wanted to get up and confess, but was stopped by Emperor Zhenglong.
"Don't worry, my father understands." Emperor Zhenglong smiled, there was no displeasure on his face, but he was a little relieved and said solemnly, "Although you are the crown prince, you are not very able to subdue those veterans in military affairs. ”
The loyal and righteous prince of that year was really loyal to the first emperor for a lifetime, and no prince would waver for half a point, how frustrated Emperor Zhenglong was in him at the beginning, and now how much he hopes that his descendants can be like him, and he can also protect his prince and eldest grandson for a lifetime.
"Father...... The son thanked his father. The prince got up and bowed deeply to Emperor Zhenglong, but other than that, there was no other polite lie, and then the father and son looked at each other and smiled, and the prince sat back in his chair and continued to record.
Then Emperor Zhenglong thought for a while and said: "Since you want to use him, then I will give him another grace for you, I remember that his concubine is ...... this year"
"Twelve years old." Gong Zhe, who had been acting as a pillar next to him, suddenly interjected, and then after Emperor Zhenglong and the crown prince both turned their heads to look at him, Xiao Shizi saluted Emperor Zhenglong with a serious face, "My nephew thanked the emperor for his kindness on behalf of Cousin Yao." ”
Emperor Zhenglong looked at his nephew who couldn't bow down with some surprise, and said with a smile: "You will thank you before I seal it, if you are not satisfied with the seal, you can't get up?"
Seeing this, the prince raised his eyebrows slightly, and also smiled and made fun, and arched his hand to Emperor Zhenglong, obviously meaning to stand on Gong Zhe's side.
"You two, that's bold." Emperor Zhenglong pointed at the two of them angrily, and then said helplessly, "That county king?" ”
The county monarch was still one level lower than the county monarch that Yao Xuan could normally seal, and Gong Zhe naturally did not move, and continued to bow down and look at Emperor Zhenglong.
"Then the county gentleman is okay." It is rare for this cold-natured nephew to take the initiative to beg himself, and Emperor Zhenglong continued to tease him.
This should have been sealed, Gong Zhe continued to move, and there was a hint of 'really stingy' in his eyes when he looked back at Emperor Zhenglong.
"Then the county lord will do it." Emperor Zhenglong simply laughed angrily, and said to Gong Zhe in a warning manner, "You kid can stop in moderation, no matter how high you are, you are the county lord, can you casually be a vassal girl?" ”
"My nephew didn't mean that, thank you for your uncle's grace." Gong Zhe took another deep moment before getting up, and then stood quietly back to his place without moving.
"What, don't ask for a title for your cousin anymore?" Emperor Zhenglong instead teased Gong Zhe, a county lord with a title, and Emperor Yu Zhenglong didn't care at all about just one sentence, so he didn't care about teasing his nephew at all.
"The county lord Yu cousin is already a high seal, so the title will be given after Uncle Yao's meritorious service." Gong Zhe knows very well the proportions in front of the emperor, he also sees that Emperor Zhenglong is in a good mood this time, and he wants to help his son win people's hearts, Gong Zhe just made fun to seek a benefit for Yao Xuan, otherwise he wouldn't talk too much.
"Slippery head, you still have to seal it after you close it." Emperor Zhenglong shook his head with a smile, then skipped this topic and motioned for Gong Zhe to continue reading the officials below.
On the same day, after the prince and Gong Zhe had lunch with Emperor Zhenglong, they went back to the East Palace for a while and returned to the palace. After the prince went back, he told the crown princess about the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion, including Emperor Zhenglong's evaluation of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, and the matter of Gao Feng making Yao Xuan the county lord.
The county lord who was personally entitled by the holy decree has a much higher gold content than the queen's unified distribution, and the crown princess is also very satisfied with this.
However, the woman is careful, and the crown princess thought of Gong Zhe's low-key and reticent, so she was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to ask for grace for his stepmother's cousin.
The crown prince didn't know some of the princess's thoughts, thinking that she was just just curious, so he explained indifferently: "It's also a coincidence, the words are brought up in a hurry, he happens to be in front of him, and he has a good relationship with the Yao family, so why not do it?"
The crown princess nodded when she heard this, and didn't say anything, but just left a mark in her heart to see the situation later.
Besides, Gong Zhe's side, he himself is not good at always running to Yao's Mansion, and after leaving the palace, he told Lu Guo, the inner servant next to him, about the matter, and asked him to go directly to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion to deliver news.
And Gong Zhe himself, after returning home, also told Concubine Shu, and the concubine who provoked Concubine Shu looked at him very strangely.
While sending someone to tell Princess Yao about this happy event, Concubine Shu looked at Gong Zhe hesitantly, a little skeptical of his 'coincidence' explanation, and then thought about the rare appearance of the little girl of the Yao family, she was a little sure in her heart.
To say that Concubine Shu also likes Yao Xuan very much, it's just that the little girl has the same background as Princess Yao, which makes her a little worried, and the girl is too young, to the extent that Yao Houfu spoils her, I'm afraid that she will have to stay at least sixteen or seven before she gets married, and her grandchildren will be twenty by then.
Besides, people have long expressed their reluctance to marry.
Concubine Shu was entangled in her heart, but when she looked at her grandson's calm and cold appearance, she was discouraged again, knowing that if Gong Zhe really decided something, it would be difficult for her to object.
However, Concubine Shu still decided to rescue her, so after Gong Zhe retired and left, she instructed her confidant and grandmother: "Pick four girls out, and send them to serve in the courtyard of the prince of the world."
