Chapter 108: Framed
Zhuang Minhua returned to Hanzhang Courtyard, took the two red envelopes in his hands, opened them, and saw that each red envelope contained a silver ticket with a face value of 1,000 taels. Zhuang Minhua took it in his hand and flicked it, and this time he bought two thousand taels.
Zhuang Minhua handed it to Qianhong and received it in the money box, and asked her, "How much silver do I have in the money box now?" ”
Qian Hong replied without the slightest hesitation, "One hundred and thirty thousand and seven thousand taels of silver, and six hundred and ninety-seven taels of silver." Two and two hundred copper coins. ”
Zhuang Minhua groaned, "Take ten taels of silver out, go to the kitchen and order a table of noodles, and you all go to eat noodles in the evening." You all worked hard last year, and you will continue to work hard this year. ”
Qian Hong smiled: "This is the duty of slaves and maids, where can it be said to be hard."
Zhuang Minhua nodded, "Do as I say!" By the way, you can arrange it, after the fifteenth, let's go out to see the children we adopted, I think they have made great progress, right? ”
Qian Hong said: "It's not big, it's just earth-shattering!" One by one, the changes are great, and the princess of the county can pass, and they will be very happy to think about it. They have been looking forward to seeing the princess of the county for a long time, and they have thanked you in person. ”
Zhuang Minhua shook his head, "I also adopted them for a purpose, I can't talk about thanks, but unfortunately the time is too short to use them." ”
"If there is no princess of the county, how can they have food and clothing without worry, and they can read and learn crafts, even if the princess of the county has a purpose, they are willing to be used by the princess of the county."
Zhuang Minhua didn't say anything more, since he did it, don't regret it. Cultivated them as best they could, those hypocritical guilt. Just put it away! Although she loves Meng Jinghan deeply and is willing to pay for him, she also has to prepare some retreat or reliance for herself. You can't pin everything on Meng Jinghan, people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows if it will change!
But no matter how much she did, it didn't prevent her from continuing to be nice to Meng Jinghan.
"Bring me the robe I made for the prince of the county."
Qian Hong quickly brought over a set of crimson robes, Zhuang Minhua took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, the pattern on the robe was the original fabric, and the needlework was fine and neat. Although some of them can't be handled, she is so dedicated. I wonder if this robe is enough for a New Year's gift?
Qian Hong saw her hesitation. hurriedly said: "The princess of the county made it herself, even if it is bad, the prince of the county will like it." What's more, this robe is so well done, even the slave thinks it's just that. ”
Zhuang Minhua nodded casually. She was thinking that she had now accumulated some more points. What to redeem for out.
Meng Jinghan didn't know that Zhuang Minhua didn't trust her completely. is also secretly cultivating and developing its own forces.
Before he finished his conversation with Tiansu, Tianqiao came in, and she hurriedly presented the information. "Lord Jun, news from the palace."
Bai Yu took the information and presented it to Meng Jinghan, Meng Jinghan opened it and smiled. "Don't stop it, you can push it if necessary, I'll see what he chooses."
The sky is as clear as a wash, and the rays of the winter sun are mild and not dazzling, shining warmly on people's bodies. The breeze is blowing, bringing a slight chill, indicating that winter is not far away.
King Han had just come out of Yongfu Palace, he looked at the rising sun, thinking of what he had just said to his mother, and the ambition in his heart was clear in his eyes. He quickly restrained his emotions, raised his feet and was about to leave the palace, when a voice came from behind, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, please stay." ”
King Han turned around and saw that it was the little eunuch in his father's imperial study, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Was it summoned by my father?" ”
The little eunuch smiled all over his face, "Exactly." The king of Han bowed his head, rewarded the little eunuch with a purse, and asked him, "Does the little father-in-law know what happened to his father and the emperor summoning this king?" ”
The little eunuch smiled slightly, "This slave doesn't know, but the slave is in a good mood when he sees the emperor." ”
King Han nodded, followed the little eunuch forward, and after walking for a while, King Han suddenly felt that something was wrong, he paused, "This direction is not right, isn't it in the imperial study?" ”
The little eunuch said respectfully: "The emperor is in the lotus pond to enjoy the lotus!" ”
Lotus Garden? At this time, there are still lotus flowers to appreciate, King Han was suspicious, and beckoned a palace maid passing by, "Go and tell the concubine Niangniang, I will go to the lotus garden to see my father." When he said this, Han Wang Yuguang saw that the little eunuch was hanging his head, his face was calm and unchanged, and he felt that he was making a fuss.
When the two arrived at the Lotus Garden, Emperor Zhaoyuan was really inside, and the father and son sat upstairs together, looking at the remnants of the lotus below, drinking and talking.
The warmth between father and son, Zheng Guifei hurried over with a group of people, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Emperor Zhaoyuan patting King Han's shoulder with relief, Zheng Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she glanced at her son with disgust, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why don't you inform your concubines of such an elegant thing as rewarding residual lotus." If it weren't for the concubine who happened to be looking for Jiang Er, she wouldn't have been able to ask here. As he spoke, he glanced at Emperor Zhaoyuan and King Han, and suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands, and said: "Oh, look at the brains of the concubines, where are you men enjoying flowers together, it should be talking about political affairs!" Then the concubine will not bother, and the emperor will have the heart to accompany the concubine to come over and see it again. ”
Emperor Zhaoyuan did have something to tell the King of Han, so he didn't stop him, nodded and let Concubine Zheng go.
When King Han came out of the Flower Garden, his eyebrows were deep, and he always felt that something was wrong when his father spoke? Originally, the father and son had a heart-to-heart relationship, how could it be said a bit like explaining the aftermath? King Han was suspicious, his father obviously looked very healthy, did his father regret it again and didn't want to make him the crown prince, so he tempted him?
King Han was pondering in his heart, when a palace maid ran out and blocked his way, "Your Highness, my mother is invited." ”
King Han saw that it was the palace maid Cuihong, who was the newly favored jade nobleman of Emperor Zhaoyuan, he looked around, and saw that there was no talent around: "It's not good to see each other at this time, I'll arrange it next time." As he spoke, he raised his feet and was about to leave.
Cui Hong stopped King Han and said eagerly: "My mother said that she has important news to tell Her Highness...... It's about the emperor. When it came to the last sentence, Cui Hong said almost inaudible.
King Han's footsteps suddenly stopped. Although his father has always intended to make him the crown prince, as long as he is not the prince or the emperor one day, he will not be able to settle down, so he arranged a person beside his father, that is, a jade nobleman. On weekdays, he also took the initiative to contact the Yu Guiren, which was safer, but today the Yu Guiren was so reckless as to send the palace maid to invite him, saying that there was important news about his father, and then I thought of what Emperor Zhaoyuan said today. King Han felt that he should take a trip.
"You go back first. Tell your mother, see you in the old place. With that, he left.
Wanqing Palace is near the Cold Palace, because it is uninhabited all year round, it has begun to fall into dilapidation. Dust accumulates. King Han did not enter through the main entrance of Wanqing Palace. He was from the back wall of Wan Qinghou. The withered grass was cut away, revealing a half-man-high hole for people to squat in and out. This cave was made by the King of Han in order to meet the jade nobles. It was deliberately dug out at the back wall.
King Han pinched the corners of his robe, bowed his head and entered Wanqing Palace. Carefully entered the side hall where they met on weekdays, and because the two of them met, they tidied up, and King Han sat on the chair.
After about half an hour, the jade nobleman came in from outside, she combed a high bun, with a red gold plum hairpin, wearing a pink embroidered treasure pattern cloak, after coming in, she took off the cloak outside, revealing a tender green embroidered plum blossom gown, water green gauze skirt, she was only sixteen years old, bright eyes and bright teeth, the whole person was as tender as a handful of green onions.
The jade nobleman casually put the cloak on the chair, sat on the lap of the king of Han, hugged the neck of the king of Han, looked at the king of Han, and said with a smile: "Does Your Highness want to be a family?" ”
King Han teased her, "This king thinks about you little goblin every day, what's the matter?" Father hasn't fed you yet? Looking for this king in such a hurry? ”
The jade nobleman's beautiful eyes were affectionate, "The emperor rarely enters the harem now, and even if he comes, he just lies down and sleeps together." What's more, if you can, people don't want to do that with the emperor, after all, they are the people of the Han King. ”
As soon as these words came out, King Han's eyes became hot, he buried his head in the neck of the jade nobleman, sniffed lightly, and said with a smile: "What kind of incense does the concubine smoke?" It smells so good and smells good. ”
The jade nobleman was soft on the Han King, and said delicately: "People don't have incense!" I'm afraid it's the fragrance of this fabric! Wouldn't His Royal Highness smell the newly made floral fabric made by Princess Rongjun? But it's rare, I got a horse so easily, and I made a new dress, and when I came to see His Highness today, I wore it on my body, and the fragrance of flowers on this kind of clothing is called fascination. Does Your Highness like it? ”
King Han thought for a moment, "I've heard the princess mention it a few times, but this is what the woman's family wears, and I didn't take it to heart, but the clothes in my house don't have such a fragrance." ”
Yu Guidao: "This is a new mixed floral fabric from Qiaoxiuzhuang, and it took a lot of effort to get it at home!" ”
King Han's hand deftly reached into the jade nobleman's clothes, grabbed a jade peak, and caressed it with his fingers, "Is it rare here?" ”
The jade nobleman spread out on the Han king, and followed the Han king up and down his hands. The breath of both of them was urgent, and King Han picked up the jade nobleman, spread the jade nobleman's cloak on the chair casually, and pressed it up. After only a few moves, King Han suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did he feel that his head was getting more and more dizzy, and the jade nobleman in front of him had become a double shadow. He felt that something was wrong, and just as he wanted to get up, he fainted, and the jade nobleman had already fainted.
When King Han woke up, he looked at the azure tent and was in a daze for a while, and the memory in his brain slowly recovered, and then he thought that he was actually lying on the bed, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he sat up violently.
"You're awake." The familiar voice made King Han feel like he was struck by lightning, and he fell off the bed and knelt on the ground, "Father, the son was framed." ”
It was obviously a cold winter, but the king of Han was sweating like rain, the sweat instantly wet his back, he fell to the ground, his body couldn't help but tremble, he committed adultery with his mother-in-law, and was caught by his father, can his father still spare him? Obviously, a few hours ago, he was still in high spirits, thinking that he would soon ascend to the throne of the crown prince, but now it is like falling into hell, whether he is alive or dead, especially I don't know, who is harming him?
King Han's mind is racing, Queen? King Jin? Or maybe it's King Min? If he had escaped this fate today, he would not have spared that person.
The room was so quiet that the needles could be heard, and Emperor Zhaoyuan slowly walked in front of the King of Han, and the bright yellow court boots stepped on the ground, as if stepping on his heart.
King Han only felt that the air was suffocating and it was difficult for him to breathe, and he didn't know how long it took, when King Han knelt and his eyes slowly darkened, there was a commotion outside the house, and Zheng Guifei's voice came faintly, and King Han couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Halfway, Emperor Zhaoyuan commanded outside: "Let her in." The sound is like the silence before a rainstorm.
King Han's back was cold, and he lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.
Soon, Concubine Zheng Guifei came in, and as soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground without looking at her son, "Ask the emperor to investigate, Jiang'er must have been wronged." What kind of person Jiang'er is, don't you still understand? He has always been filial, how could he do such a thing as a ** mother. Someone must have framed Jiang'er, isn't it that someone doesn't want the emperor to make Jiang'er the crown prince, and if he can't stop it, he will frame Jiang'er? ”
Zhao Yuan said expressionlessly: "But the jade nobleman confessed that King Han had an adulterous affair with her a long time ago, and the two have been secretly in contact for more than a year. I have only been in the noble family for a few months, but I picked up my son's broken shoes as Lao Tzu. Guifei, this is the good son you taught? "Even Concubine Zheng Guifei was angry.
Where was Concubine Zheng willing to admit it, she only cried: "Would the emperor rather believe in the slut of the Jade Guiren than believe in his own son?" Your Majesty, it is impossible for Jiang Er to do such a rebellious thing. He is going to be the crown prince, isn't he ruining his future by doing this? What a fool to do! Emperor Zhaoyuan's face softened slightly when he heard this, and Concubine Zheng Guifei wiped his words and hurriedly glanced at King Han and asked him to intercede by himself.
"Fool" King Han's face twitched, and when he saw Zheng Guifei glancing at him, he hurriedly cried: "Father, the son was framed, when the son came out of the lotus garden today, he was going to go out of the palace, and he met a palace maid on the way, saying that the mother concubine suddenly fainted, and the son was panicked, and followed the palace maid to go back, but when he walked to a rockery, he suddenly smelled a fragrance, and then the son fainted. Wake up Erchen is here, Erchen really doesn't know anything, why did the jade nobles frame Erchen, I think Erchen is blocking someone's way! Last time he was assassinated, this time he was framed, Erchen is really ......"
King Han looked extremely aggrieved and lay on the ground and cried.
"Oh, since you don't know anything, why do you wake up claiming to have been framed?" Zhao Yuan turned to look at him fiercely.
King Han froze suddenly. (To be continued.) )
