------Off topic------
Qin Hao's face changed, and the love in his heart was deeply suppressed, it was natural for the queen to attack him as the mother of the country and teach him a lesson as the imperial aunt, she helped Qin Zheng, and there were also deep-rooted reasons, he could only bear it, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake, "The little nephew is young, and there are still many places to learn, thank you for the imperial aunt's training." The little nephew must be cautious in his words and deeds in the future. ”
The queen also smiled, "It's rare that your appearance as a leather monkey has actually entered his old man's eyes." After the words fell, he no longer paid attention to Qin Zheng's pride, and said to Qin Hao with a soothing face, "The eldest prince is exempt!" You'll just think the palace is just confused. Miss Lu is right, when you were born, the palace and the emperor came to celebrate you. It's true that you're a concubine, but you're also the eldest son. In the future, you still have to think about what you say. Although women in the harem and backyard are not allowed to interfere in politics, they just listen to the military situation of the court. But you are different, you are an official in the court, you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds. If you open your mouth to condemn someone to be drunk, then you must investigate it thoroughly, so that you can uphold the supervision of the imperial history platform and impeach yourself from there, otherwise, you will leak the hole and set yourself on fire. For example, today, don't blame Brother Zheng, he taught you a lesson! ”
Qin Zheng smiled when he heard this, "That's because the old marquis likes me, and if you change someone, you naturally won't like him!" ”
The queen looked at him helplessly and sighed, "This matter can only be blamed on Master Puyun's calculation of the hexagram back then, which made the two of you fight for so many years, in my opinion, you can also relax, Yu'er will definitely not rob Miss Fanghua with you." Who is the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion who can rob it if she wants to? That is, you don't want to die, dare to rob! It's good that Old Marquis didn't split you with a iron palm on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
Qin Zheng snorted, "He dares!" ”
The queen laughed angrily when she heard this, "When did he take away your daughter-in-law?" After the words fell, she glanced at Xie Fanghua, "Now that your daughter-in-law has been decided, his daughter-in-law is still gone!" Are you saying that he is going to come back and rob you of Miss Fanghua? ”
Qin Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Aunt Huang, as long as your son doesn't take away my daughter-in-law, I don't bother to pay attention to him." ”
The queen looked at Qin Hao, and after half a sound, she suddenly smiled, "Sure enough, as you said, when you are old, you are always easy to be confused." Since Yu'er left the capital and went to Mobei, I have been in a trance every day, listening to Miss Lu say this, I think about it carefully, you really didn't say anything. When the words fell, he turned to Qin Zheng and said angrily, "You dead child, it turns out that you are making trouble, and you never spit out good words in your mouth!" You and Yu'er have been pinching since childhood, and now that everyone else has gone to Mobei, you don't let people worry. How long does it take to count? ”
Qin Hao's expression was as usual in a short period of time, and when he saw the queen's eyes, he respectfully bowed, "Queen Mother, my nephew really didn't talk about the four princes. ”
Queen: "Huh? With a sigh, he turned his head to look at Qin Hao.
"Regarding the affairs of the Mobei military camp, our ladies and ladies here are all women's families, and they can't say any deep opinions, so they can only listen to it, and naturally they can't participate in the affairs of the court." Lu Xueying looked at the queen calmly and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, it is reasonable that you care about the four princes and can't listen to unfavorable remarks about the four princes." But if you think about it carefully, since the eldest prince entered this water pavilion, he only said one sentence, only mentioned General Wuwei, and did not mention the four princes at all. The words about the four princes just now are nothing more than speculation by the second prince. You are so angry with the eldest prince, the eldest prince does not say anything, and he is also wronged in his heart. ”
The queen looked at Lu Xueying and didn't speak for a while.
And Qin Zheng has always had no good impression of Lu Xueying, and even disliked it, but now she has become Qin Hao's woman, and he is even more disgusted with the house. No matter what she did, he didn't even bother to look at it. Yes, naturally, there was no accident, and there was no idea.
So, she helped Qin Hao, and she also helped herself.
But she is indeed not a woman who will be succumbed to fate, even if she is forced to marry Qin Hao, she wants to do something.
Xie Fanghua felt that Lu Xueying should not be stupid all along, not only was she not stupid, but she was a little smart, otherwise she would not be able to be both civil and military, and she threatened that she was the most worthy woman of Qin Zheng. It's just that she's obsessed with a heart. When the smoke cleared, she suddenly woke up and died of her heart for Qin Zheng, and she saw a lot of things clearly. Her fate has been placed here, she can only marry Qin Hao in this life, and there is no turning back when she opens the bow. Therefore, she has to accept her fate even if she doesn't admit it.
Of course, among the people who had this accident, Xie Fanghua was naturally not included, nor Qin Zheng was included.
But today, she was calmly invited into the British Prince's Mansion with Qin Hao, and now she is still calmly speaking out to help Qin Hao. I have to say that it was a bit of a surprise to everyone here.
Even if she agrees to the marriage, she is afraid that she will be unwilling in her heart, when it comes to sincerity, I am afraid that there are few to Qin Hao, and it is nothing more than being forced to be helpless.
It stands to reason that she has always disliked Qin Hao, only Qin Zheng, which is not a secret in the capital of Southern Qin, and because of Qin Zheng, she was forced to be married by Queen Yizhi, according to rumors, she tried to commit suicide in her boudoir, but she was watched closely by Mrs. Zuo Xiang and did not commit suicide. Later, Qin Hao went to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to adopt the ceremony, she raised a problem, the two competed, and finally went around and around, several twists and turns, and she reluctantly agreed to this marriage.
None of the people present thought that the person who stood up for Qin Hao to relieve the siege was Lu Xueying, who had been silent.
"That's what the queen lady said when she was angry, in my opinion, he was just stupid and couldn't express himself clearly." Lu Xueying stood up in a stiff atmosphere and said with a smile, "Even if the eldest prince is a concubine, he is also the eldest son of Prince Ying's mansion, and he is always the son of the prince. When the second prince was not born, I heard my mother say that the emperor and the queen also came to this palace to celebrate the eldest son. Have you forgotten? ”
Xie Fanghua looked at it coldly, wanting to see how Qin Hao's game of chess ended? If you can play with fire, then you can also extinguish fire. If the queen's insults made him stop fighting, then he really didn't deserve to lift Qin Zheng's shoes.
Prince Ying has been in the background for so many years, and he may not have never cared about it.
What's more, Prince Ying and the emperor still have such a past.
Compared with the stupid Concubine Liu, who only knows that she will die if she relies on Prince Ying if she is not favored, everyone will choose the smart and generous Princess Ying.
There is also an eldest son and a concubine in the palace of Prince Ying who compete for the title.
There are heirs in the royal family who are secretly fighting to the death for the throne.
The queen may not have understood that Qin Zheng was using her, and even understood that Qin Zheng didn't want Qin Hao to go back to Beijing than anyone else, but she was still more willing to help Qin Zheng than Qin Hao, so as to anger Qin Hao. After all, early in the morning, when she snatched Qin Lian from Prince Ying and Princess Ying, she tied her life and Qin Yu's life to Princess Ying's body.
What is called playing with fire and self-immolation, this is it!
Moreover, he also uses the knife of the queen, who cares about her son the most!
On the contrary, Qin Zheng gently and skillfully pulled out a thousand catties, and then turned around and swallowed himself in a big fire.
But on the contrary, he had to use the fire in Mobei to burn General Wuwei, it was nothing more than to burn the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and then burn the Miss Zhongyong Marquis Mansion who was sitting here now, and then burn it to Qin Zheng's body?
If it weren't for his status as the eldest son, how could he be sitting here today? Even if he is a concubine, he also occupies the identity of an eldest son!
If it weren't for his identity as the eldest son, how could Zuo Xiang accept him as his son-in-law?
If it weren't for his status as the eldest son, how could he be reused by the emperor?
Prince Ying looked at Qin Hao and sighed secretly, there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes that could not be concealed, he had taught for many years, and taught this son to be confident but inferior, if the identity of the concubine was his weakness, why did he never want to think about how many heirs of the concubine were born in the world? Don't you want to live? As the concubine of Prince Ying's mansion, he is still the eldest son, if he is not compared with Qin Zheng, then how many heads is his identity already higher? He should be broad-minded, but on the contrary, he only stares at his concubine identity, and only sees the disadvantages brought about by his concubine status, but he can't see many things that are beneficial to him.
The emperor glanced at Qin Hao and Qin Zheng, and then at the angry empress, but did not speak.
Because of the queen's sudden anger, the atmosphere in the water pavilion was extremely stiff and the smell of fire was strong for a while.
What's more, Qin Zheng used his identity as the son of his grandson perfectly, and did not waste God's preferential treatment for him at all.
Qin Zheng kills people without using his own knife! Qin Hao is not his opponent, no wonder no matter what position Qin Hao's official position rises, no matter how much the emperor values him and prepares to reuse, no matter how Zuo Xiang and Prince Ying are promoted, Qin Zheng is not worried. It was because Qin Zheng was able to easily grasp his weaknesses and knock him out without much effort, turning all his efforts into useless work.
What is called killing people without using their own knives, Xie Fanghua has opened his eyes today.
Qin Hao's body trembled, his face instantly became depressed and humiliated, and his identity as the eldest son was always his scar. He boasts that his talent is not inferior to Qin Zheng, his ability is not inferior to Qin Zheng, and his self-proclaimed appearance is not much worse than Qin Zheng. But only one identity is enough to crush all his merits to death. finally fought for the position valued by the emperor with the support of Prince Ying and Zuo Xiang, but in the eyes of the world, he still couldn't get rid of this concubine's identity. For a moment, the anger and humiliation of being scolded by the queen made him unable to speak anything, and stood there in a daze.
"Don't call me Aunt Huang! The eldest son of a concubine is not the identity of a concubine, where did you come from to be qualified to call me an imperial aunt? The queen was annoyed that Qin Hao had provoked such a topic, and brought the disaster to Qin Yu's body, scolded angrily, and rejected his words mercilessly.
Qin Hao's heart tightened, his face changed, he immediately stood up, and pleaded guilty to the queen, "Aunt Huang......"
The queen's gaze suddenly looked at Qin Hao.
"Aunt Huang, don't you, you have to tell my eldest brother, look, what he said just now clearly means that Qin Yu was born with evil!" Qin Zheng spread his hands.
The queen's complexion changed first, this speech was really unfavorable to her son, she said in Qin Zheng's words, and immediately said, "How come?" Yu'er is not born with evil. ”
"So what do you mean? Do you want to say that for so many years, General Wuwei has always been stable, secure, and well-governed, and nothing unexpected happened, but after Qin Yu rolled away to the military camp in Mobei, such things happened, but after these things happened, he showed the wisdom of his four princes as the pride of the sky to resolve the chaotic disputes between the two parties? What the hell is going on! Could it be that he was really born with evil, and he will be harmed wherever he goes? He is such a scourge, is it really impossible to stay alive? Do you have to get rid of the emperor so that he can calm the hearts of the army and the people? Qin Zheng looked at Qin Hao and spit out a large number of sharp words repeatedly.
Qin Hao's face changed, and he immediately retorted, "I naturally didn't mean that!" ”
Qin Zheng suddenly smiled, "Big brother can see it?" Before the matter is clarified, you draw conclusions, this is what your father teaches you every day? Don't let your father's heart be cold. When the words fell, he mocked, "Now my father and uncle are sitting here!" As far as I know, they're all two years older than General Wu Wei, right? Are you also saying that they are also old and useless? How long have you been comfortable? Neglect of things is a common thing, and there will be more in the future, let's not make a fuss? ”
The emperor also turned his head to look at Qin Hao.
Xie Fanghua slowly raised his head and looked at Qin Hao.
"Isn't it too old to be useful? It's common to be comfortable for a long time, and occasionally overlook. Qin Hao suddenly spoke.
"That's where I wonder." The Emperor nodded heavily, "General Wuwei is safe, I have always known this, otherwise I would not have let him stay in Mobei to protect the barrier on the border of Mobei for many years." ”
Prince Ying had been standing, and at this time, she slowly sat down, glanced at Xie Fanghua, and pondered, "General Wuwei has been stationed on the Mobei border for many years, and he has been stable, and there has never been the slightest mistake, and I have never heard of such a thing. It is said that he is strict with his subordinates, and the military regulations are strict, and the Mobei military camp has been rumored for many years that he has managed the army well and is deeply loved by his subordinates. The barracks are like an impregnable wall. How can there be such a thing as stealing military rations and lax guarding? ”
"After investigation, it is indeed the people in the military camp of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is a grain warehouse manager, because of the penchant for gambling, he stole the military food of the granary of the Northern Qi Dynasty and sold it, and then unconsciously stole a lot, I heard that the imperial court was going to send Qin to the military camp on the border to do an inspection, he was frightened, and united some of the ruffians who were blocked with him in the past, and discussed it together, and went to steal the military food of our army together. Because in winter, Mobei is too cold, and some of the jurisdictions of our army are lax. I was caught this time, and I deserved it. The emperor said helplessly, "It's just that the deputy general under General Wuwei is too irritable and impulsive, it stands to reason that if you catch this person and hand it over to the general of the Northern Qi border on the surface, you will ask the Northern Qi to give an explanation, that is." But he was immediately hacked to death in anger. It was only then that a big war broke out between the two sides. Numerous casualties were immense. ”
"And who is that corpse?" Prince Ying asked.
The emperor smiled and nodded, "Yes, at that time, the fourth prince saw through the key to the matter, and went to the military camp of Northern Qi alone with the body of the thief who was cut down. It was confirmed by the people sent by the Northern Qi royal family and the Zhenbei Royal Mansion overnight. It is indeed not the uncle of Northern Qi. ”
Prince Ying frowned, "In this way, if he has legendary experience, how can he do the business of smuggling our military rations with chickens and dogs?" How can he be lightly hacked and killed by General Wuwei's men? ”
The Emperor shook his head, "That's all the news I got, and there's no way to find out where it went." The matter of this uncle on the side of Northern Qi is very tight. ”
"How many years have you gone? Where did he go? Prince Ying sighed.
"Well, it's a miracle!" The queen nodded, "It's just that although the illness was cured, before his father and mother were overjoyed, he secretly left with the mad monk and left a letter." It's been years since I left. It is said that he only returned to Northern Qi last year. Yes, he is known as the uncle of the Northern Qi Kingdom. Not only because of his origin, but also because of his legendary experience. ”
"That's amazing!" Prince Ying said.
It is said that this uncle was born with a hidden disease and was born deaf. When I grew up to a few years old, I couldn't recognize people. Even the biological parents don't know it. But he is the only son of the direct family line, so giving up is always like cutting bones and digging out the heart, and he can't give up, so he has been seeking the name of each house to heal the disease, but there has never been a peerless miracle doctor. The emperor said slowly, "Until more than ten years ago, Northern Qi went to a wandering mad monk, I don't know if it was by mistake, or if this mad monk was really skilled in medicine, anyway, he cured his disease." ”
Qin Zheng saw that the emperor was comparing him, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing.
"It's not surprising that you don't know!" The emperor smiled and said to her, "It is said that this uncle is not very old yet. After the words fell, he looked at Qin Zheng, "It's probably the same size as this stinky boy, one or two years older than him, and it's also limited." ”
Prince Ying and Princess Ying suddenly, "So that's the case, about Northern Qi, after all, it's too far away, and there is such a character, I, a woman who lives in the inner courtyard of the palace, don't know." ”
"The king of Northern Qi did not abandon the queen." The emperor glanced at Xie Fanghua and saw that she was listening quietly, through the veil, he couldn't see her expression, but this appearance made people feel that she knew everything in her heart and had a clear mind, although she was ill and sick for many years, she was definitely not a boudoir woman who didn't know anything, he continued, "But there is a Chen Guifei in Northern Qi who has been favored for many years by approaching the queen's throne. She is the maiden niece of the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi. Since childhood, he has been a childhood sweetheart with the king of Northern Qi. And she has a younger brother. Based on the relationship between the Queen Mother's family and the relationship with the King of Northern Qi, everyone calls him Uncle Guo. ”
After all, Mobei is far away from the mountains, and the news is not easy to transmit.
Xie Fanghua has never received news about this matter, Yan Chen has been to Mobei for more than ten days, and there is no news yet, Qingge is now in the painting boat in Bihu, although he entered the Ying Prince's Mansion with the painting boat today, but in the end she also failed to find a chance for her to ask if there is news from Mobei.
Princess Ying frowned, she was already smart, and she grasped the key point in a short period of time, and asked, "Isn't the queen of Northern Qi Feng Qingyun, the aunt and grandmother of our Southern Qin Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?" If it is the uncle of the country, it is also the son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, who has passed away for many years, that Xie Yingcai can be called the uncle of the country. Where did they pop up now? Could it be that the emperor of Northern Qi abandoned Feng Qingyun? After the words fell, she glanced at Xie Fanghua.
Everyone was shocked.
"It is said that because a spy smuggled military rations from the Mobei military camp, it was being transported to the military camp on the border of Northern Qi and was caught. The spy who has infiltrated our barracks at some point has been smuggled more than once. was caught this time, and the two lieutenants under General Wu Wei were furious and hacked to death on the spot. After the incident, the Northern Qi side refused to admit the spies, only saying that their uncle came out at night to relieve himself and never went back, and the person who was hacked to death was their uncle, and their uncle took advantage of the busy New Year Mansion in the capital of Northern Qi to run out to play, how could he become a spy who stole grain? Yes, Northern Qi wants an explanation, but our side has already hacked the spy to death, and there is no proof of death. I can't come up with an explanation, after all, no one knows what Uncle Beiqi looks like, and I can't tell if the person who was hacked to death is really Uncle Beiqi. The emperor did not shy away from telling what had happened.
Prince Ying and Princess Ying were surprised, "There is still such a thing?" Isn't it Chinese New Year's Eve ten days ago? Why did the defenders of the Mobei border clash with the garrisons of the Northern Qi Dynasty? ”
The emperor was naturally not annoyed, and said to Prince Ying and Princess Ying, "Last night, I received news from Mobei that ten days ago, the defenders of the Mobei border and the garrison of the Northern Qi had a conflict for some reason. At that time, there was a huge uproar, and 300,000 soldiers and horses on each side almost fought a big war, almost staining the northern border with blood. In the end, it was the four princes who came forward and used methods to mediate the defenders on both sides and quell the chaos. This matter should be credited with a great contribution to the four princes. But when he returns to Beijing, he will also recruit him back after Mobei is peaceful. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to control the situation again. ”
The other ladies all looked at Prince and Princess Ying, and in terms of tone, the people present, that is, Prince and Princess Ying, dared to talk to the emperor like this. Ask directly.
"Even if you can't find evidence, then he has been in the Mobei military camp for so long and has made military achievements, you should always give an explanation." Prince Ying and Princess Ying commanded the maidservants to put the dishes on the table one by one, and said to the emperor as if they were ordinary chatter.
"Even if he is framed, he has to find evidence of being framed. I can't find the slightest clue, how can I forgive his sins? "The emperor is straight.
"That kid has known proportions since he was a child, and he is much better than this stinky boy in my family." Prince Ying looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I don't believe that he set fire to the palace You don't know that he was framed, and now he has been to Mobei for nearly half a year." Shouldn't you bring him back? ”
The queen took over with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law's ears are really sensitive, and the emperor and I were talking about Brother Yu just now." ”
The Emperor looked at her and did not answer.
"How did I hear you guys talking about Brother Yu?" Prince and Princess Ying came over and asked the emperor and empress with a smile.
The emperor smiled when he saw her mention of her son.
The queen smiled slowly when she heard this, she was not inferior to an emperor, and nodded, "If you can have the emperor's words, even if the concubine is ten years old, it will be fine." ”
When the emperor heard this, he retracted his gaze, a trace of something flashed in his eyes, and said gently to the queen, "You have been too worried about Yu'er in the past six months, so you are not as good as her, you take care of it, and when Yu'er comes back, you will be happy, and you will not be much worse than her." ”
Xie Fanghua raised her eyes slightly and looked at the queen, this woman, she may not have been jealous, struggling, difficult, and uncomfortable, but no matter how she fights, I am afraid that she will not be able to compete for a man's heart and a woman's amazing time. Therefore, all her heart and energy will be transferred to her son, and it is necessary to be in that position.
"Hey, after so many years, the corners of my eyes are wrinkled, but Sister-in-law Wang is still so beautiful. I'm two years younger than her. There was no jealousy in the queen's eyes, only a sigh.
Xie Fanghua thought of her mother, and retracted her gaze gloomily, if her mother was alive, she should be like Princess Ying!
From the graceful and luxurious way she walked with her maidservant now, it seemed that you could see how she was in the world twenty years ago.
Prince Ying's body is now such a beauty, Prince Ying's mansion Gaomen Mansion has not killed her years, although she has a son who is about to grow up, although there are a bunch of account books in the palace, although her husband has a bunch of concubines. But she's still herself.
It was a beauty that amazed time!
Although Princess Ying has been polished by 20 years of time, she still has a unique charm, one of the two beauties in the world that year, after 20 years, there are not many traces of vicissitudes on her body. There is a kind of beauty, even if she is old and ugly, she is still beautiful to anyone who sees her.
The older generation, twenty years ago, also had a grievance, in fact, it did not subside with time.
Although the expressions of these people are very well concealed, they can still see clearly whether they are vicious and delicate. Xie Fanghua is through the veil, blocked by the veil, and he will not look straight at anyone when he looks at him, yes, he can see it most clearly.
Prince Ying glanced at the emperor out of the corner of his eye, but he also did not speak.
The emperor was about to say something to Xie Fanghua, but when he heard the words, he also followed the fragrance, his eyes changed slightly, and he didn't speak.
The queen glanced at the emperor and smiled, "There are also spring bamboo shoots I want." ”
Qin Zheng sniffed and immediately smiled, "There is the braised mandarin fish I want." ”
The smell of food wafted from afar.
While talking, Prince Ying and Princess Ying returned to the water pavilion with the eight maids and maids with plates.
