Chapter 26
The "ruthless little er" in King Suduan's mouth was at his home at this time, enjoying the snow with his princess, eating wine and barbecue......
When Princess Yizhong first married King Yizhong - at that time King Yizhong was still the crown prince, and the relationship between the couple was mediocre after marriage.
For the proud prince, he is not very interested in a wife who is calm and quiet and will not lower her value to please him, even if his new wife is extraordinary.
Will there be a shortage of beauties around the prince?
However, with the ups and downs of King Yizhong's life, his daughter-in-law has always been firmly by his side, and his attitude towards him has never changed, regardless of the peaks and valleys.
After a few years, no matter how many women there are in the world, King Yizhong can only let go of his daughter-in-law in his heart...... Oh yes, and his own daughter.
But he said that he had taken medicine for more than a month according to Lin Hai's prescription to strengthen his body...... I didn't see it at all, but King Yizhong himself felt that it was very obvious: the inexplicable evil fire that could not be suppressed in the past had almost disappeared without a trace, and now he was like a good person.
King Yizhong felt that he could be free to retract and release, so he began to make up for his wife and daughter, and stayed with them when he had nothing to do for a while.
The change in her husband, Princess Yizhong naturally felt it immediately.
Because the husband couldn't control his temper, just in case, the couple had already slept in separate rooms. The two of them are not living in the same place, and their hearts are naturally not close.
Princess Yizhong has been honed by the cruel reality for so many years, and the expression on her face has become less and less, and she has no joy or sorrow and is more and more similar to the Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple......
But when she was pounced on by her husband, who found that she had suddenly improved, and hugged him violently, tears gushed out, and she couldn't stop it, and finally soaked a big piece of her husband's chest, and she still pulled her husband's sleeve and sobbed and asked, "Okay?" Not leaving? ”
King Yizhong saw his daughter-in-law crying like this, he was both happy and guilty, so he naturally said simply, "You won't drive me away." ”
And then ...... It must have been much sweeter than when they were newly married.
The couple was tender and sweet for several days, and Princess Yizhong let her husband "pour" two glasses of wine at this time, and fed a few chopsticks venison, and her chest and abdomen were warm, "Lord, we have to thank Lord Lin for a good life." You see, am I walking around the door? ”
King Yizhong was turning the venison on the grill, and his subordinates kept moving, not delaying him from talking to his daughter-in-law, "It's time to come to the door." Just at the end of the year, everyone has a lot of entertainment, and you won't be conspicuous when you go. Even if it......'s conspicuous," he laughed, "and you're afraid of them?" ”
The fire and the light shone on his face, and there was a different kind of brilliance in addition to the oil, and Princess Yizhong laughed out loud with a snort, "None of us are afraid now." ”
is the so-called barefoot who is not afraid of wearing shoes, has no future and no son, Yizhong Wang and his wife...... Especially King Yizhong thinks: I'm just happy, I don't care if you're happy or not.
The princess and princess in the palace of Yizhong feasted happily, and Yuan Chun in the Fengzao Palace was not far behind, she was eating the pot.
Although Yuanchun, the noble concubine, doesn't take care of things much, but she uses silver to open the way, and it is still easy to inquire about the news that is not important.
I heard that the saint went to Concubine Shu's, and Yuan Chun also ate what she wanted to eat with peace of mind: although her ancestor was from Jinling, she grew up in the capital since she was a child, and her taste was more northern, and she loved salty and spicy things.
Baoqin was waiting on the edge of Yuanchun, and seeing that her mother had an excellent appetite, Baoqin didn't speak but always smiled.
Yuan Chun rarely had a good meal, washed his hands and face, and was still in a good mood. Thinking that her mother would have a lot to say when she entered the palace tomorrow, she leaned on the couch early and sorted out her thoughts while flipping through the book.
There is no queen mother and no middle palace in the palace, so the concubines don't have to ask for peace early, Mrs. Wang entered the palace to ask for a meeting, and directly let the eunuch sent by Yuanchun take it in.
To tell the truth, when she entered the palace twice in a row, the mother didn't give a good face, and Mrs. Wang was really stunned when she came this time - she was by no means unconscious of what she had done, but she had to do it, and it was difficult to ride a tiger.
After entering Fengzao Palace to salute, Mrs. Wang secretly glanced at Yuan Chun a few times, and felt that Niangniang was not in a bad mood today, and her heart was a little more stable.
Yuan Chun originally wanted to talk to her mother about it again, and said: She has heard of the methods used by her mother and cousin-in-law and cousin to hold silver outside, not to mention those old senior concubines who are from extraordinary backgrounds and their sons can already walk around the palace.
In Yuanchun's thoughts, Mo said that the Wang family itself has a way of maritime business, and the Zhen family and the Xue family also have many ways to make money, so why do they have to come forward to put money in print, and even sister-in-law Wang Xifeng still wants to buy and sell officials......
How dare she think about it. Uncle may not be able to do this.
Yuan Chun's hunch is very accurate: although his uncle Wang Ziteng is already in an official residence, and the saint seems to have given her the position of concubine because of his uncle's face, but in fact, the saint does not like his uncle's personality very much, even if the saint admires his uncle's talent.
And Yuan Chun can also see that because his uncle is betting heavily on the Seven Princes, among the three concubines of De Shuxian, Concubine Shu is the friendliest and closest to her.
But it's too early! The Holy One is in his prime, so why should you, uncle?
Yuan Chun handed over the evidence of the Queen Mother's murder to the saint, and the saint's face was ...... at that time She didn't want to reminisce.
So Yuan Chun said to his mother, Mrs. Wang: "Baoyu is still young, mother doesn't need to be too anxious." If you don't want to lose the reputation of your ancestors, you don't necessarily have to be promoted to the imperial examination. ”
Mrs. Wang likes to listen to this, if not, why would she obey her brother's words? No, my brother gave Yuan Chun a honorable position, and the next time it should be her Baoyu!
Yuan Chun just doesn't want his mother to be too obedient to his uncle!
Uncle Wang Ziteng has been in the limelight too much in order to be promoted over the years, and he has offended many people, so he should be restrained at this time, otherwise he will wait to be cleaned up.
When she told Mrs. Wang what she meant, Mrs. Wang lowered her head slightly, and after a while, she said, "Listen to Niangniang." But your uncle asked, how is it good? ”
This is...... Don't think so?
Yuan Chun laughed angrily, "Since my mother knows it in her heart...... Very good. ”
The mother and daughter parted unhappily, and after Mrs. Wang retired, Yuan Chun instructed Baoqin, "Go and inquire, whether my uncle asked my uncle to pass the word to my mother again." ”
Huqin took the order and left, and when she came back, Yuan Chun had already recovered as usual, and even laughed at herself, "I'm so angry today, I must have eaten too much venison yesterday." ”
Hug Qin pursed her lips and smiled.
Yuan Chun immediately sighed: "I can't help much now, and it is understandable that my mother is biased towards my uncle." I'm afraid ......" is empty at both ends.
The uncle's heart is to the Seventh Prince, and the mother's heart is to the uncle.
In fact, Yuan Chun didn't understand, her uncle Wang Ziteng used the handle of King Suduan to fight for the future, and naturally offended King Suduan to the family, but there must be gains if there is a loss, and attacking King Suduan must have won the Sacred Heart, but this is not enough, he prepared another "insurance" for himself, that is, the Seven Princes.
But this is what Yuan Chun can't agree with, you are now throwing yourself into the Seventh Prince, can you still turn the bow of the ship in the future? If it wasn't for the loss of a lot of connections and help because of leaving the abolished prince at that time, especially the word of mouth hurt too badly, why would my uncle and even the Jia family and the Wang family be so embarrassed now?
Uncle Wang Ziteng, the inspector, sounded very majestic, but in fact, he did all the dirty work, and offended people: he didn't find anything during the inspection, and the saint was not happy; really saw that the cat was tired and reported it to the saint, and those involved in the case inevitably felt resentful.
After so many years, my uncle's errands are similar to this inspection and inspection cha, but the really high-ranking and powerful six Shangshu and feudal officials, my uncle has never touched it, let alone said anything in charge ~ soldier ~ power and entered the cabinet.
My uncle is also in his fifties...... Yuan Chun knew that his uncle didn't want to accept his fate, and he wanted to fight again.
No matter how well-informed Yuan Chun is, his hand still can't reach out to the front court.
She had no choice but to be kind to others, at least at least at a critical time, she could have relatives and friends to drag her along, even if she said a word or two of intercession in front of the saint at that time.
This is also the reason why she must show her mother, Mrs. Wang, goodwill to her uncle's family. In her opinion, just because she didn't get along with her aunt and her uncle was in a high position, she wanted to stay away from her uncle's relatives, and her mother was simply ...... Too capricious!
Fortunately, my mother listened a little bit and finally maintained contact with my uncle's family, but it didn't stop there. Compared with her uncle, her help to her mother's family is really limited, and she doesn't blame her mother for having such an attitude...... In fact, it is not difficult to see that it was really just the attitude of the mother just now?
Thinking of this, Yuan Chun held the hand stove and looked at the incomparably clear sky after the snow, and whispered to himself: I am the one who does not measure myself.
Niangniang is always thinking about her mother's family, and this qiē hugging the qin is in her eyes, but it's a pity that the old lady in the house has other ideas.
has lived in the palace with Niangniang for several years, and Baoqin doesn't dare to say what his vision is, but he always feels that the old men and wives in the house are ...... There is some wishful thinking, and although the uncle understands it in his heart, he can't stop it.
Yuan Chun just turned around at this time, and caught a glimpse of Huqin's heart-wrenching appearance, and the master and servant also came to be "relatively speechless".
But it was said that at this time, the eunuch in the Yuanchun Palace stepped forward to report: Concubine Niangniang is coming to talk to Niangniang.
Yuan Chun looked at Baoqin, "Let's change our clothes." ”
Coincidentally, Lin Hai also met Concubine Shu's younger brother and cousin in the household yamen.
Concubine Shu's younger brother is now Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and as Lin Hai expected: nothing to do will go to the Three Treasures Palace.
It is said that most of the household officials who were involved in the case of King Suduan's embezzlement of a large sum of silver were actually under the command of the Seventh Prince-in fact, it is not appropriate to say that they are "under his command" now, and these officials are dying to show favor to the Seventh Princes a little more frequently, compared to the rest of the princes.
The Seven Princes didn't expect that after this group of people was found out, they all had a lot of "heads and tails" with King Suduan. This is the so-called yellow mud falling into that something, it's not and.
When the prince Teng revealed that King Suduan was still talking in the household department, and he wanted to embezzle it, the seventh prince was even a little grateful to Wang Ziteng after being shocked and angry: It would be good to know it earlier, otherwise his father would misunderstand that he and King Suduan had a tacit understanding, and there would be no "future" in a daze.
So the Seventh Prince sent a confidant to the northwest and thanked Wang Ziteng with his handwritten letter.
One is that he almost let King Suduan get into a trap unknowingly, and the other is that he has cheated King Suduan but is worried about King Suduan's revenge...... The Seven Princes and Wang Ziteng, the two "You have affection, I have intentions", come and go, don't they hit it off...... Hitched up.
He had a good conversation with Wang Ziteng, but he had a little concern, and the attention of the Seventh Prince was on Lin Hai, the new right attendant of the household department.
Although the official positions of Hubu Shangshu and Zuo Shilang were not moved, they were both implicated by King Suduan. However, the culprit Su Duan, the king's father, couldn't move. Hubu Shangshu and Zuo Shilang are not young anymore, and their father will give them two dignity and allow them to be distinguished at this level.
To put it bluntly, these two are now messing around, and neither their prestige nor real power are as good as before. In fact, at present, the real person who can be the majority of the household is the right attendant Lang Linhai appointed by his father.
Lin Hai continued to marry the cousin of Lao Jiu's biological mother, and it was logical to favor Lao Jiu, but the Seventh Prince wanted to see what attitude this new squire had towards their brother's disciples when he filled the vacancy in the household department.
However, there is no need to "wait and see", the Seven Princes know what Lin Hai's style is: acting impartially and acting only as a meritocrat. Whether Lin Hai is really so high-spirited and bright, the Seven Princes don't know, but so far it seems to be like this.
He is impartial, and the people he picks out are all recognized as having some means.
By the way, the seventh grade or less is counted as a small official, whether or not he can enter the household department, Lin Hai, the hall official, can be the master, but the seven grades and above are counted as officials, and the appointment and removal must go through the ministry of officials, of course, the ministry will not ignore the opinions of the household officials when arranging.
At present, the Holy Lord cannot completely hold the Ministry of Officials in his hands, but the appointment and dismissal of officials involving the six ministries will definitely be lived in front of the Holy Lord's eyes. So far, Lin Hai has acted without fault.
The Seventh Prince also had a little interest in Lin Hai, and at the same time knew a little bit about Lin Hai, so it was not surprising why Wang Ziteng and Lin Hai did not get along.
So Lin Hai went out of the yamen, and under the leadership of Concubine Shu's cousin, when he went to have a drink with a few colleagues, he "bumped into" the Seventh Prince, and he was not surprised at all: he didn't block people at the yamen.
Lin Hai did not have any friendship with the Seven Princes: they only met a few times when they were in the last court. In all fairness, the Seven Princes are the most comfortable temperament and demeanor among the princes Lin Hai has personally come into contact with.
It is said that Concubine Shu is among the many concubines in the ~Hou~ Palace, and her complexion is not ranked, but she has been favored for many years...... Enduring.
Because of the love of the house and the Wu, the sons and daughters born by the holy concubine are quite different from the rest of the children.
It must be known that the saint can basically achieve a bowl of water for his children, and it is very rare to see a little bias in him.
It is said that the Seven Princes appeared, punished themselves first, and said sincerely to Lin Hai, "It's my villain's heart." At the same time, he is not shy about saying that he has a lot of contacts with Wang Ziteng these days.
Retracting his gaze from the thirty percent on the shoulders of the Seventh Prince, Lin Hai savored the meaning of the Seventh Prince's words: Wang Ziteng said bad things about me? Isn't it that Zhen Yingjia doesn't mess with you, is it possible to hold a grudge against you?
Lin Haixin said: How old is it? It's not like I'm going to dig your corners myself. When I went to Beijing, you sent people to dig up some of my staff, and I didn't say a word.
After thinking about it, from about the moment when he didn't give Jia Yucun face, he and Wang Ziteng gradually fell out.
Lin Hai felt that it would be best if he really tore his face through this, and it would be a pity...... He raised his head and met the smiling face of the Seven Princes.
If you really want to do this, I'm afraid that this highness will not agree - Wang Ziteng has already stood behind the Seventh Prince.
This highness may not have taken the path of left and right, but at least he is kind to others. The Seventh Prince must now feel that he didn't say that he intended to show goodwill, at least he didn't mean to offend.
In fact, in the household department, there are still a few "fish that have slipped through the net" of King Suduan, and these days have been concentrating on chatting with the files and subordinates, and Lin Hai has already touched the bottom of these people to a few points: most of these people have a lot to do with the concubine's family.
It's just that Lin Hai thinks that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the time comes, the nails will be pulled out, and King Suduan will send you a few more in a few days...... After all, an undercover agent who exposes his identity is the best undercover agent.
But in the eyes of the Seventh Prince, it was Lin Hai who did not get to the bottom of it. And no matter how much Lin Hai is selfish, he must admit this favor.
So in addition to eating and drinking, the Seventh Prince also had a little "gossip" to Lin Hai as a return, which really sounded like a joke, "I heard that the prince of Suduan Wang came home from Ningguo Mansion, so he was beaten by Suduan Wang's paperweight, and the blood flowed like an infusion at that time, and Suduan Wang handed over the post overnight and invited the imperial doctor." ”
King Suduan invited a special imperial doctor to treat the princes, and if there was no will, the powerful could not let the imperial doctor of this level be on call.
Lin Hai smiled slightly.
Begging for Fang Zi is purely a pretext, and King Suduan's original intention should be to let his son find out his attitude towards the Suduan Palace. As a result, Suduan Wang Shizi accepted the prescription, but owed Lin Hai a favor.
In fact, it's not a big deal, and he was beaten to death by his father.
Unexpectedly, the paperweight of King Suduan was thrown too accurately, and the prince bled more than that night, and even the elixir for hanging his life in the palace was used, but the effect was still limited, and in the end, Princess Suduan wiped away her tears, and the dead horse became a live horse doctor, and boiled the medicine according to the prescription given by Lin Hai, and poured it into the prince, but it didn't take long for the blood to stop, and the prince also fell asleep deeply.
The Seventh Prince also smiled and said, "Although it is a little unkind, my cousin also deserves this catastrophe." ”
King Suduan is the younger brother of the emperor, and the prince of Suduan is the uncle of the princes. Seeing Lin Hai's expression of concern, the Seventh Prince added, "He's fine now. ”
said that he was recuperating from an injury, but in fact, the son couldn't help it after lying down for a day, and complained to the relatives and friends who came to visit: Why is my father still detaining me for this little injury?
He had forgotten that he had almost fainted the night before.
Lin Hai said at this time: "My self-cultivation formula doesn't have such a miraculous effect. I guess it should be that the elixir in the palace is a little slow to take effect, and when I drink the new medicine, it is just in time for the elixir to take effect. ”
The Seven Princes thought the same way. That Fang Zi heard the imperial doctor who was present at the time say that the compatibility is indeed very novel, but if it is said to have the effect of returning to heaven...... It's hard to believe.
The Seventh Prince blinked, "But this kindness must not be forgotten, Princess Suduan may want to come to the door to thank you." ”
Lin Hai also muttered very cooperatively, "It's over." ”
The Seventh Prince smiled again, "Lord Lin doesn't give an explanation, but it's endless." ”
However, the posture of the Suduan Wangfu always made Lin Hai feel that the goal of this family was not in the household department, but seemed to be ...... Look away.
In the whole capital, it is known that King Suduan has embezzled the silver taels of the household department again, and almost none of the officials who handle it are good, and the original errand of the prince of Suduan in the Zongren Mansion is gone, and it stands to reason that the Suduan Wangfu should be restrained for a while.
The saint did not move the Suduan Palace, it was because the Emperor Taishang was still there.
Even in order to prevent the Holy Shangqiu from settling accounts too harshly, the Suduan Royal Mansion should also spend their efforts to please the Holy Lord, but they are still thinking about him, the right attendant of the household.
You must know that these methods are all under the nose of the saint!
If Suduan Wangfu had been so stupid, it would never have gone through two dynasties and still lost its reputation. Lin Hai originally thought that King Suduan had pulled the Seventh Prince, and wanted to replicate the previous experience again, and then rely on the "Gong of the Dragon" to live a lifetime.
Now it seems that the Seventh Prince is also very transparent, and he doesn't want to get involved with the Suduan Mansion at all. What is the reliance of the Suduan Palace?
The Seventh Prince said again: "Speaking of which, the life-saving elixir for my uncle was originally found by King Suduan. ”
Lin Hai frowned: I also gave the prescription to the princes, what are you reminding me of, the Seventh Prince?
After the banquet was dispersed and sat in his own carriage, Lin Hai couldn't stop thinking when he closed his eyes and recuperated: Okay ~ official ~ field ~ inspirational drama...... How did it change to suspense.
Lin Hai had something on his mind, but the long entourage who followed outside greeted him several times before he came back to his senses, and was just about to lift the curtain and look out, when the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and a dark figure slipped in like a ball.
Lin Hai fixed his eyes and said, "The prince is really getting more and more elusive. ”
King Yizhong laughed, and after laughing enough, he said, "I heard that you let Xiao Qi take him away, I specially came to find you, and remind you that it is nothing to toss Suduanwang's family, if they bring the secret news in the palace that you forgot more than ten years ago, just listen to it, don't really reach in." ”
Lin Hai nodded hurriedly, "Listen to the advice of others to eat a full meal, my little arm can't twist the big thick legs of others." ”
King Yizhong also nodded, "You are an understanding person. But your niece who entered the palace as a concubine is too late to get out......" he said sincerely, "It's a pity." ”
After speaking, he patted Lin Hai on the shoulder.
So Lin Hai watched as every time King Yizhong patted him, the number on King Yizhong's shoulders increased by one percent: after four consecutive beats, King Yizhong's shoulders became eleven percent.
Xiao Jin finally stopped pretending to be dead, "I couldn't take care of it a few days ago, since he came, I'll give him a boost." ”
Before Lin Hai could answer, he heard King Yizhong hesitate, "It's strange, it's just a pat on your shoulder, what's ...... Think I'm a little different every time I pat you? ”
Lin Hai couldn't help it, and exclaimed, "Xiao Jin, this guy is very sharp." ”
Xiao Jin said: "More than ten percent, it's really a qualitative leap." He can already give birth, but it is not so easy. ”
Lin Hai himself is also above ten percent, "So, I can also look forward to it?" ”
Kim spun around again, "Yes." Your new wife has been looking forward to having children for you. If King Yizhong wins the man in one fell swoop, you will have a high reward! ”
It's still calm now, and when King Yizhong gave birth to a son, the emperor is still alive...... Not to mention the capital, I'm afraid the world is lively. Originally, I thought that I could follow the Shi family to choose - now the Shi brothers are not working in the capital, and they are living quite comfortably away from the center.
Lin Hai suddenly had mixed feelings: there was less "the plot was known earlier", but there was a lot more life...... I don't know if it's worth it.
