91. The storm is coming
Regarding Yuan Ziqing's bold plan, King Fu did not make any comments in the end, but looked at the eldest son with a somewhat complicated look.
This child has been smart since he was a child, and he used to have high hopes. Only later...... Since his body did not allow it, King Fu naturally let him go, and no longer expected him to make any progress in this, as long as he was healthy, it was enough.
It's just that when did the eldest son of the original Lang Lang gentleman learn so many ways to plan people's hearts?
But King Fu can't help but admit that at this time, this is the best way. Most importantly, this will divert all the emperor's attention, leaving him temporarily free to deal with the Fu Wangfu. To put it bluntly, no one expects the crown prince to really succeed in his rebellion, he just uses it to stall for time.
It's just that this kind of decision to push people out at the right time, King Fu himself absolutely does not have it. Princess Fu is even soft-minded and repeated, it is impossible to have such firmness. I don't know who this kid looks like......
If he wanted to say it seriously, King Fu couldn't help but think of someone. The first emperor Yuanhao. When he was young, he was sharp, and his ascension to the throne was a matter of course, and none of his brothers could reach his peak back then. The grassland people in the west, the Great Chu Iron Cavalry, who are still feared, are under his leadership, and they have gained a reputation from war after war!
It's a pity that maybe the father's glory is too great, and he will envelop his sons in this light and suppress their growth. Therefore, the emperor had several sons, but none of them were like him.
Even his favorite King An has only learned a few points of superficial invincibility, cross-cutting and domineering, and the pride and ability in his bones have not been able to learn half a point. And the emperor who finally ascended to the throne was more than enough to keep it, and it was not enough to pioneer, and he was always a little less decisive.
This decision, King Fu saw it many years later, in his son's still slightly sick body.
"I'm old, and your brother can discuss this matter." King Fu was suddenly a little dazed in his heart, and the original insistence seemed to be gone, and he waved his hand tiredly and said to his sons.
Yuan Zifang frowned, "Dad is in the prime of spring and autumn, why do you want to say such things and hurt the hearts of your sons?" ”
King Fu just shook his head, "In the future, it will be the world of you young people." Go ahead. ”
He also figured out that if the new emperor ascended the throne in the future, he, the emperor's uncle, would inevitably be worried about him, even if he didn't have any ideas, the emperor and courtiers would still be afraid of him. But if he stepped down and let his son rise to the top, who was as young as the emperor, there would be a lot less impressive pressure.
For Fuwangfu, perhaps this is the best solution.
As for himself, after persevering for most of his life, it is time to relax and enjoy the joy of family.
Once he put these things down, King Fu suddenly found himself much more relaxed. Although it is inevitable to be irresponsible to throw all the responsibility on the children, they are already so big, and there will always be a time to bear the wind and rain. When I think about it, I am relieved.
So when he returned to the room, Princess Fu found that he was in a very good mood today, and couldn't help asking, "What happened to the prince?" ”
"Our family had two happy events yesterday, aren't you happy?" Fu Wang Road.
Princess Fu is really not very happy, "It's a good thing to marry a daughter-in-law and add a grandson." But these two things come together, and they are happening at such a time, how can people be happy? I just learned that yesterday's second daughter-in-law was bold and ran to the delivery room in a wedding dress. Although it was a help, when I thought about it, I felt very awkward. ”
"That's what you should think." King Fu said, "The two daughters-in-law are close, and there will be no restless things in the future." That's the real blessing. Otherwise, fight for this today, grab that tomorrow, and you will be happy if it doesn't stop for a day? I know your heart disease, and those are not reliable! ”
After many years of husband and wife, King Fu knows very well what his wife thinks, probably because he has heard too many stories about the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the courtyard of the deep house, and he always feels that he has to use some means in his own home to make the days stop. As a result, the two daughters-in-law were too good, and they didn't let her get this opportunity to play the majesty of her mother-in-law, so she felt uncomfortable.
She also didn't want to think about it, when she married herself, in addition to entering the palace twice a month to ask for peace, when did she get angry with her mother-in-law? As for the concubines, everyone doesn't live together, and when they meet, they just politely say a few words, and the fight is what the men outside should worry about, and it's not their turn to put their beaks. Didn't that day come too?
However, for Princess Fu, she understands the truth, but being unhappy is unhappy.
I always felt that the time to start on the side of the eyebrows was wrong, and Yingyue rashly entered the delivery room, and even collided with the blood light.
There is also Yuan Ziqing, she couldn't take care of it during childbirth, and I heard that he stayed in the delivery room from beginning to end, which is even more unusual!
But it's going to have a seizure...... The eyebrows were framed, and Zhou Yingyue and Yuan Ziqing's entry into the delivery room was just an expedient measure, and now that she is being investigated, it seems that she is stingy.
In addition, Princess Fu has to think about the things in the palace from time to time, and there are too many things to worry about.
King Fu laughed at her for having nothing to do, "You might as well leave everything in your hands to the children, and if you are relaxed, you will naturally be happy to see everything." ”
"How old are they? Young, I haven't done anything, how do I know......"
Princess Fu is about to refute. But he was immediately stopped by King Fu, "It's just a matter of being young, you can't talk nonsense if you haven't done anything." The eldest daughter-in-law is just that, the second daughter-in-law, who did the Haizhou affair? ”
"Things outside are not the same as things at home." Princess Fu immediately seized the loophole.
In the end, King Fu had no choice but to retreat, let her continue to think nonsense, silently reciting in her heart, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", and went back to the study to read. Originally, I wanted to share the joy of being light and light with Princess Fu, but now it seems that the princess is still busy. lest you always be cranky when you are idle.
……
Unlike Princess Fu, King Fu believes that young people will be more flexible than themselves, and they may not be much worse. And Yuan Ziqing and Yuan Zifang did not disappoint him, and soon news came from the palace, saying that after the prince was reprimanded by the emperor again, he smashed a lot of things in the East Palace, and even killed two people ruthlessly.
His patience had reached its limit, and after venting, he summoned his staff to consult.
In fact, there is no need for others to say, the crown prince is also very clear that the emperor is becoming more and more dissatisfied with him, and he has not even covered it up recently, and directly reprimanded him in front of the courtiers. He is the crown prince, and he has to fight for that position, even if he is afraid and scared in his heart, he is forced to this step, and he is ruthless.
If it was the other brothers who sat in that position in the end, it would be impossible for him, the waste prince, to be tolerated by anyone. So there is only one way in front of us.
It's just that the prince still has some concerns in his heart. After all, it was the emperor, his father, and he didn't think he could hide it from the emperor. And what he has to do, once it is exposed, must be a capital offense.
So although he was unhappy before, he has been struggling to endure it. It's just that now, I can't bear it anymore.
At this time, one of his aides sued him that the emperor was said to have a health problem. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know. But for the crown prince, it is too simple to verify how the emperor's body is.
First of all, he can go to Ann and observe for himself. Secondly, he can also call up the pulse of the Tai Hospital to take a look. Even if you can't get the pulse, just look at the number of times the imperial doctor has been to the Taiji Palace to ask for peace recently, you can guess how much.
And behind him stood a queen. The history of the harem is in charge of the queen, and there are records of where the emperor went and which concubine he was lucky with. If the emperor is sick, and not lightly ill, there will definitely be a change in this aspect. The Empress had some other way of determining if something was really wrong with the Emperor.
In short, the palace is not really iron-clad, as long as there are clues, he can try to get the news.
After all, this prince has not been deposed.
And the results of the investigation made the prince couldn't help but be excited. The emperor's body really went wrong! Although the level of the imperial doctors is not as good as Qu Kuan, and they can't find a way to treat it, they can determine how long the emperor still has left.
Knowing that the emperor only had one or two years left to live, the crown prince was naturally very excited. He used to think it was very scary, and the person he had to look up to was just an ordinary person after all, and he would be born, old, sick and die, not so terrible!
Compared with the prince's optimism, the queen was very worried about this. The emperor's physical problems were found out by her, and after knowing it, she kept fidgeting, and called the prince into the palace overnight to discuss. Seeing the prince's reaction like this at this moment, his heart became more and more frightened, "Huai'er, what are you thinking?" ”
"The Queen Mother." The crown prince walked to the queen and knelt down, "Since I was a child, the queen mother has taught me that my father is the monarch of this world, and I want to respect him and love him. But what about the father? And what did he do to my son? Now, I'm afraid that even the courtiers in the court, when they see him, are more relaxed and comfortable than me, who is a son! ”
"But he is your father...... after all," the queen murmured. She had already vaguely guessed what her son was going to do, but she didn't want to believe it anyway.
The crown prince snorted coldly, "I regard him as my father, but he may not regard me as a son." Queen Mother, not to mention anything else, you have been married to him for so many years, this time he is sick, have you ever thought of suing the Queen Mother? If I hadn't noticed it first, it might have come and we would still be in the dark! ”
The queen was startled, and her eyes immediately shook a little when she looked at the prince. The crown prince continued to say, "Queen Mother, think about it, if my father intends to pass on to me, he will not let me be defenseless. Now like this, it seems to be guarding against us, what do you say he wants to do? ”
He ...... He wants to depose the crown prince? The queen's voice trembled a little, "No, I don't believe it...... How is this possible? You're the crown prince......"
"I'm just the crown prince, he's the emperor." The prince's expression was grim, "Queen Mother, now only you can help me." ”
"But I'm ...... How do we do it? The queen was a little flustered. She is really not a particularly capable woman, and she can sit firmly in the back seat, firstly, because she is tall enough and gave birth to the prince early. Second, because there is still the queen mother in the palace, the number of concubines is really not much.
Now that she is suddenly asked to rebel against her husband and monarch who have been attached for so many years, the queen is at a loss for the six gods and masters.
The crown prince held her hand tightly, "You are the queen." My father is sick, and my control over the palace and the court is naturally greatly reduced, and the queen mother only needs to cover for me and not let my father know my actions. ”
"Okay." With specific arrangements, especially for the queen, she was familiar with it - she didn't know how many times she had covered up for the crown prince over the years - so her heart slowly settled down. I just asked with some concern, "Is this really the case?" ”
"If he is unkind, he cannot blame me for being unjust." The prince gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, my son will be arranged properly, and there will be no negligence, and the good news you are waiting for me is." ”
persuaded the queen, and he hurried back to the mansion non-stop and began to decorate. There is not much time left for him, and who knows if the next time the emperor wakes up, he will be abolished because he thinks he is an eyesore?
In King Fu's Mansion, after receiving this news, Yuan Ziqing took a breath lightly, and the brush in his hand fell steadily on the paper, drawing smooth lines. When a painting was finished, he carefully put the pen down, then stood up, washed his hands in the basin next to him, and finally expressed his opinion on the matter, "In three or five months, it should be fine." ”
Then I walked briskly to see Meiban and the child.
The most important thing in the confinement is to rest, the eyebrows are taking a nap, and the child is also beside her, Yuan Ziqing entered the house lightly, and what she saw was the mother and son sleeping soundly when their heads met.
He watched quietly for a while, and then he felt that his heart, which had been suspended in mid-air for a long time, fell down slowly and steadily.
Yuan Ziqing simply took a book, sat at the head of the bed and read it. His vacation is already the last day, and from tomorrow, he will continue to study books. At this moment, he didn't want to do anything to make the emperor look sideways, it was best to act honestly according to the rules, and let the emperor completely forget about their family.
The quiet and leisurely time always passed quickly, and by the time the sleeping mother and son woke up, the sun had already set in the west.
"Why didn't you call me when the prince came?"
"Well, you should rest more." Yuan Ziqing said, "Uncle Shi said that your body has suffered a lot of losses, so it's only serious to make up for it quickly." Otherwise, if you fall into the root of the disease, it will be a lifetime thing. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and when the atmosphere was just right, the baby's cry suddenly sounded. Meibian hurriedly reached out to pat the child, coaxing in his mouth. Yuan Ziqing stood helplessly and watched, so he said before that he didn't really want children, but he was really sincere. With a child, most of the intimate time between husband and wife fell on him.
And in a situation like this, when the atmosphere is just right, I don't know how many times in the past few days, which makes Yuan Ziqing love and hate.
But after all, it is his own child, and now his face has grown and his skin has turned white, and he looks very pleasing to look white and tender. Moreover, the facial features can vaguely see the shadow of himself and the eyebrows, and he must have combined the advantages of his parents when he grows up. Seeing him, how could Yuan Ziqing not like it?
After coaxing for a while, the child finally stopped crying, and called the nurse to carry him out, Yuan Ziqing talked to Meibian about business, "You said Xingyun's marriage before, I think it's time to plan now." Qingyun is waiting there, you ask Xingyun what he means, if he agrees, we will do it for them. ”
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Eyebrows asked.
Yuan Ziqing said, "I won't hide it from you, I'm afraid the shape of the capital is not very good now, I want my mother to take you and the child, as well as Yingyue, to leave the capital to live for a while." ”
"What about you?"
"The clan is not allowed to leave Beijing without an edict. Your daughters are not in the way, and when the time comes, you can just say that you will go to the suburbs of Beijing to spend the summer. Yuan Ziqing said, "I want Qingyun to send you away, he and Xingyun have become relatives, and they just stay there to take care of you when they get to the place." ”
"Isn't there anyone around you?" Mei said, "Besides, because of this, the marriage was decided, but I felt wronged by them." ”
"Naturally, they have to agree to it themselves. When the time comes, it will be lively, and there will never be any perfunctory because it is in a hurry. Yuan Ziqing reached out and rubbed her hair, "Don't worry, the people around you, where do I dare to slack off?" As for me, there are still a lot of people available, so you don't have to worry about it. ”
"Then I went back and asked Xingyun, but she might not be willing to answer." Eyebrows said.
After Huang'er brought it up, he already had the appearance of six or seven points in the office, and it was not that he couldn't let go of his hand. Besides, what Yuan Ziqing meant, presumably they can't bring a few people with them when they leave this time, and they will all have to rely on them to get married, and it will be easier to walk outside.
How did Xingyun know that he was about to come in to serve at this time, and when he heard Yuan Ziqing's words, he walked directly to the door and said, "Qingyun should stay by Shiziye's side." If the prince doesn't dislike it, let the person named Stone next to you come and propose marriage to the girl. Then he turned and walked away.
In the end, it is the girl's family, no matter how generous she is, she will still be embarrassed when she mentions her marriage.
Meibian and Yuan Ziqing looked at each other and smiled, "What am I talking about?" This girl has her own ideas. ”
"It's a pity Qingyun." Yuan Ziqing frowned.
There are different opinions on the side of his eyebrows, "Although Qingyun is good, I'm afraid it's too lively." Xingyun couldn't hold him. But it is a stone, as solid as his name, and he will live a down-to-earth life in the future. "For the choice of Xingyun, of course, the eyebrows must be maintained.
Qingyun is the first person to be employed by the prince of Fuwang, and there are few people who want to marry him. Looking at Yuan Ziqing's appearance, it doesn't look like he wants to keep him for the rest of his life, and if he is released in the future, with the identity of a good citizen, he naturally wants to marry a good lady. At that time, could Xingyun still be in his eyes?
Besides, Xingyun said by chance that Qingyun seems to be affectionate to her, but in fact, most of them are very deliberate, whether it is her person, or the identity of the first maid by the side of the princess in this world, who knows?
Yuan Ziqing smiled at her narrowly, "The lady is right. No wonder I picked the best one for my husband. ”
"Don't be joking, right? How dare I hold on you? With a smile on his eyebrows, "You can almost handle me." Look at what you say, when did I dare to say half a word? Even if I want to raise my aunt tonight, I don't have a second word. What did the prince say? ”
"I was wrong. Lady is generous, don't worry about me. Yuan Ziqing immediately sneered, "Since she has this in mind, then I'll go back and arrange it." ”
When Yuan Ziqing left, Xingyun came in and said, "That's how my business is, why does the girl have a dispute with the prince for me?" ”
"Don't talk about him, he just thinks that the people around him are the best." He said, "I said that you can't hold Qingyun, and he seems to be unhappy." ”
Xingyun was helpless, "Even if you and the prince know in their hearts that it is common for women to pinch their husbands, but if you say it like this, how can you hold it on the face of the prince?" "The loss is the son of the world, otherwise someone else would have been annoyed, where would he be soft?
Xingyun's marriage was thus decided. The stone she picked out had only met once or twice on her eyebrows, and she was not very familiar with it. When he came to kowtow to himself and ask for a kiss, it was the first time that he looked at people clearly.
Zhou Yingyue was also there at that time, and when she saw the stone, she smiled and said, "Your family has a good eye for clouds, and such a man can be trusted." ”
Eyebrows were curious, "How can you see it?" ”
Zhou Yingyue, who said that this kind of person was good, chose a handsome son like Yuan Zifang with a lotus tongue. This assessment is really unconvincing.
"Down-to-earth and willing to work hard to love my daughter-in-law, the most important thing is to be obedient." Zhou Yingyue leaned over and said in a low voice, "If you have a small family and a small business, you can't ask for anything else, if you can't even do this, you really don't have to live this day." ”
That's just as well. He nodded in approval of her words. And although Yuan Ziqing has already confessed, she has only come out of the confinement period, and the stone came to propose marriage, and her sincerity can be seen.
When she turned her head to look, she found that the stone probably heard Zhou Yingyue's quip, and knelt with her head down and a little helpless, and her ears were red.
"Since you have a heart, of course I can't disallow it. In the future, I will live a good life. He said, "Don't let me know that you bullied the people around me, otherwise I won't see the face of the world." ”
"Please rest assured." The stone kowtowed again.
Suddenly sadness rose on his eyebrows. For a moment, I felt like the emptiness and dazedness of the daughter I had raised finally got married. But in just a blink of an eye, she recovered, in her previous life, she dragged Xingyun down, and she should be happy to find a home in this life.
It's just that although I think so, I still feel bad in my heart.
When Yuan Ziqing came back in the evening, he saw that Meibian had opened most of the boxes in the house and was packing up. He was taken aback, "Although I say that you are leaving, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the beginning of summer, so you don't have to rush to pack your things at this time." ”
"What did you say?" Mei said, "I'm preparing something for Xingyun to marry." There are a lot of jewelry fabrics, which have been kept for many years, and I don't need them here, so I think I gave them to her. ”
