Chapter 168: The End of the Year (Part II)
The main hall is warm and fragrant, Queen Fang is in the upper position, Lu Shufei is sitting in the lower left, Fang Qi's wife Xing is sitting in the lower right, Xing's tongue is refreshing, and his expression is very bright from the treasure pavilion in the south of the city to the silk forging workshop in the north of the city, "In the northwest, people wear more cotton and linen, and less silk and satin, probably because of the strong wind and sand in the northwest, it is easy to save money to buy a good dress, and when you wear it out and come back for a day, you can become dusty, distressed, and the flesh hurts even more."
Xing's eyes looked at the porch, then he turned around and beckoned to Xingzhao with a smile, but his eyes looked at Queen Fang: "It's cold, the little lady still wears such a little, and she doesn't add a big coat on her body, carefully like your eldest cousin, the wind blows cold."
The eldest cousin is Xiao Niang.
"When I was young, I always thought I could hold it up!" Empress Fang answered with a smile and pointed to the six princes standing beside Xingzhao: "Isn't the sixth child too, when the child is older, he has his own ideas, and Concubine Shu is very worried."
When the three women play a play, they can't get cold anymore, and they talk to each other very warmly under the warm light around the earth dragon with low flames.
Xingzhao's mood was not very good, but seeing that Empress Fang and the Xing clan were all in a beautiful state, he took a long breath and forced his heart to sink.
Huan Yi happened to come back with a little lunch, sat next to Xingzhao affectionately, and spoke softly: "Mr. Chang saw me go back to pick up the book, he really smiled on his face, and said directly, 'It's still teaching a study tour, the little ladies are a little interested, if you stay when you teach the teachings of the saints, you can't wait to tear up the book, and you won't see each other again in this life'"
Huan Yi is clearly leaving them halfway down to excuse herself.
Xingzhao covered his mouth and smiled. He continued his conversation.
Finish eating. Concubine Shu took a pair of children to complain about her annoyance. Empress Fang asked Xingzhao to send it, and Concubine Shu led Huan Yi to walk in front of her, not knowing what she was talking about.
Xingzhao and the six princes fell behind.
A long palace corridor was almost finished, and the sixth prince whispered: "It won't cause harm to the second brother, but if the little girl next to Fang Niangzi didn't come to ask you for help, this matter was exposed to the public, who did you think would be hurt the most, and who would get the most benefits?" ”
Xingzhao's eyes flashed, and then he heard Concubine Shu's gentle and gentle words. "Auntie, go back quickly, it's cold outside. It's almost the New Year, I embroidered a sachet bag for you, and I will come back to Chonghua Palace to pick it up. ”
Xingzhao hurriedly bowed his knees and thanked him.
Waiting for Concubine Shu and Huan Yi to get on the sedan chair, the group went to the east, and the six princes followed the sedan chair alone without hurrying or slow, and the color of navy blue walked in the snow-colored mist, like a bamboo shadow after the new rain in the distant mountains.
Xingzhao hesitated in place a few times, and finally bit his lip, gently lifted his skirt and trotted after him. and the six princes lowered their voices and said a few words. He took his skirt and said goodbye to Concubine Shu again, then turned around and hurriedly walked to Fengyi Palace.
This time it was the turn of the six princes to be stunned, and the little lady's voice was low, as sweet as the sound of candy playing on the streets
"You are the younger brother, and the fourth prince is the elder brother, but you suppressed this matter with a tough attitude that day. From ancient times to the present, the emperor is suspicious, and he is afraid that after the saint is angry, he will come back to his senses and wonder about your wrongness. The edge and the dew can be fast for a while, ready to go but can be safe for a long time, the hidden piles and foreshadowing you have buried in the palace, the strength and manpower of your subordinates, so everything has surfaced, and Grandma still owes you a word of thanks"
The happiest thing in life is to be seen, accepted and appreciated for your kindness.
Well, it would be nice if there was feedback, and he would definitely not refuse
Xingzhao's words, the six princes didn't hear too clearly, because his always clear and calm brain seemed to be stunned in an instant, and he was feverish, and he stiffened all the way from Fengyi Hall to Chonghua Palace.
Huan Yi looked at him with a smile, and whispered to Concubine Shu with a smile in her mouth: "Once upon a time, there was a small green plum that was still a small bud, no flower, and it grew pink and tender on the branches."
The sixth prince's face was hot, and he said goodbye to Concubine Lu Shu after a casual matter, his expression was very calm, but his heart was like the early spring of March.
In an instant, a hundred flowers bloomed.
Zhou Shen, the sixth prince of this room, was as happy as a flower, but the interior of the Fengyi Hall was so quiet that he was overwhelmed.
Empress Fang entertained the foreign women in the main hall to show her solemnity, but now she led the Xing family into the inner room, let Jiang Mingying stay in the porch, the warm cover of turmeric was tightly covered in the inner room, and the six glazed windows were covered with dark cloud silk curtains, leaving only a slit, and there was a bright snow light penetrating in.
As soon as Concubine Shu left, Xing's good look was retracted, her hands were folded between her knees, and her body leaned out: "These days, Ah Qi doesn't dare to act rashly at home, who can forget the fate of Sister Ting's sister in Anguo's family?" Xiao Niang and Ah Yan, how similar is the current situation to Sister Ting, Ah Qi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she didn't care about it when her temperament came up, and she was silent in the court a few times, but she didn't see the emperor's will, and she received your summons again, so she was a little relieved. ”
Xingzhao was allowed to serve tea and water on the side, and when the Xing clan saw that Queen Fang did not avoid her, there was a little warmth in her eyes, and she continued: "I also understand in my heart that if Xiao Niang and Ah Yu are put on the bright side, there will be no good result in this matter, and the current situation can always be recovered."
Xingzhao was silent in her heart, her mood was not good, and it was also because of this.
According to the emperor's usual style, Duan Xiaoyi was executed, and the poisonous and dumb music was executed, but Xiao Niang and her who broke the matter were spared?
She knew in her heart that it couldn't be.
There is a cycle of cause and effect, and the sins that were unintentionally created to Sister Ting'er have now been cast into herself and her family, can it be regarded as atonement?
"As long as the decree is not issued for a day, there will be a place for things to return." Empress Fang's voice was extremely calm, which made people feel at ease for no reason: "The Shi family of An Guo Gong has been declining for several generations, and the emperor does not need to act with scruples. But the Fang family is different, as long as the elder brother is in one day and the northwest family is in one day, it is impossible for the Fang family's concubines to be concubines. Even if the holy decree is issued, there is still a chance to turn the tables, sister-in-law must not mess with herself. ”
Empress Fang is not the same as Xingzhao.
Think from a different angle. The depth is also different.
The Fang family is now facing the same crisis as the Shi family. Even greater than the crisis of the Shi family. The Shi family chose to cut their arms to survive, but Xingzhao knew that the Fang family would never make the same choice as the Shi family. The difference in confidence is one aspect, more of a person, the spirit of a family.
Listening to the meaning of the criminal generals, Fang Qi would rather overthrow his family than grovel, right?
Xing smiled and took the tea cup with one hand, and the tea was warm. First bitter and then sweet.
"The emperor didn't move for a long time, so I asked Xiaoniang to pretend to be sick. Ah Qi took a look at the emperor's consistent path, either to let the four princes into a side room, or to secretly execute Xiao Niang, or to marry Xiao Niang far away to Tatar, Xiao Niang's heart is also wide, went home and hugged me and cried fiercely, and then expressed his determination to 'die, marry Tatar from afar, even if it is to eat a trench and grow wise.' I was stupid and fell for it. I willingly accept it. But if you want me to go to the lame man's side room, no, if you want me to go to anyone's side room, I'll go to the Jumping River! ’。 I was shocked when I heard it, but Ah Qi laughed when he heard it, and praised it repeatedly, "You are worthy of being the daughter of the Fang family, if you suffer such humiliation, you will be compensated by a Fang family for your father!" ’。 ”
Xing Shi looked at the expressions of the two as he spoke, Queen Fang and Xingzhao's expressions did not move for half a minute, and their hearts were suddenly as warm as the earth dragon.
If you work together as a family, you can work together to break the gold, what can't you do? What hurdle can't be overcome?
Xingzhao's body shook suddenly, and something in his mind galloped by, and it could slip through his fingers.
Did the person who placed this trick point out the wrong way to Xiao Niang in advance, did he expect that the Fang family would react like this!?
If this matter spreads loudly, Xiao Niang's ending will definitely not end well, and the royal family will not be able to use Xiao Niang as a shield in order to save face! Whether to give death or be included in the palace by the four princes, it is all in the emperor's thoughts, Fang Qi looks rough, but he is so stubborn and upright, he can't bear this breath, what will he do?
Fang Qi has soldiers in his hands, Empress Fang is in charge of the six palaces, and the northwest border has been planted with the banner of the Fang family
Whoever looks at it will feel that the Fang family has the confidence to rebel!
Will Fang Qi rebel because of a daughter, Xingzhao can't be sure of it for a while, but for the sake of the Fang family's face and blood under the royal humiliation, Fang Qi can't sit firmly in Diaoyutai!
Above the temple, the behavior lies in a stable word and a clever word, Fang Qi is unstable, the Fang family is full of complaints, and it is impossible to be as calm as usual.
The emperor's attitude towards the Fang family will change because of the Fang family's own reaction, what is the most fatal thing for a general? No, what is the deadliest thing for any courtier?
It's the estrangement between the monarch and the minister!
The Fang family is not the Shi family, and if a person doesn't have too many things in his hands, he is naturally not afraid of others snatching things away, but the Fang family has enough things that can make the emperor take away in anger, and in the end, there will be nothing left, just like the Shi family
The person who is under the set only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wait for its mistakes, and hold it in his hand to get a fatal blow!
Xingzhao trembled, that person knew Fang Qi's temperament very well, the sixth division was so big, there must be someone else who buried a secret stake in the palace, the Fang family was defeated, who could take advantage of the victory?
The first thing that came to Xingzhao's mind was the Gu family, and it was crossed out after a while, the Gu family started by women, and they were rich for only three generations, what ability did they have to lay down this bureau! Could it be the Chen family? Chen Yuan married the four princes, if the four princes' habit of breaking their sleeves is announced to the world, according to the emperor's personality, the Chen family will definitely be compensated from other aspects, whether it is to rise to another level or should be on Chen Wan's marriage, the Chen family gave up a daughter to win the emperor's sympathy, but won the glory of a family
"If you really don't feel at ease, you can marry Xiaoniang back to the northwest as soon as possible, and you can always protect her for a lifetime in the northwest."
Empress Fang was still talking to the Xing clan, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the little lady holding the teapot for a long time, and called softly: "Ah Wo Ah Wo"
Xingzhao was clever, came back to his senses, and rushed out: "My cousin can't marry back to the northwest!" ”
Xingzhao paused, pursed his lips, tightened his eyebrows, and put the teapot lightly on the wooden case, "This matter is too deep, the fourth prince is no longer successful, and he is also the emperor's own son." If the Fang family acted arbitrarily and alone, before the emperor reacted, he made an initiative to pull his cousin out of the quagmire in a hurry, and the Son of Heaven was furious and lay in wait for thousands of miles! (To be continued......)
PS: One more chapter! There is a pro who said that he was cautious, it was my life, and Ah Yuan found out that it seemed to be eh!
