Chapter 145
Concubine Duan, Concubine Xian and the others all looked at the crown princess with worried and sympathetic eyes. Qiu Guifei suddenly asked such a sentence, which seemed reckless and reckless, but it actually had a deep meaning. Whether the newlywed crown princess agrees or not, it is not good.
"The Qiu family's broken settlement is actually on top of the family banquet, so the trick is repeated!" Empress Zhang's teeth itched with hatred. Qiu Guifei, who had only entered the palace for a short time, was unknown in the harem at all, and she couldn't even see the emperor's face, she didn't know whether she was born bold, or she was desperate and desperate, she drank glass after glass during the palace banquet, and when she was half drunk, she showed her love to the emperor in public - the emperor only noticed her at that time, and after that, she spoiled her for several years.
True temperament, this is what she calls true temperament.
Back then, her true temperament captured the emperor, and now, after a few cups of good alcohol, her true temperament has come out again. Bah! Do you think you are still a twenty-eight beauty, and are you still as charming and lovely as back then? If you do it again, you are not afraid to put yourself in it.
In front of everyone's eyes, he politely owed himself, "Guifei Niangniang, the prince is a vassal and chooses a domain, this belongs to the government, and it is not something I can manage." I'm not in a position to tell you you can or can't. Presumably you also know that Concubine Donggong is not allowed to interfere in court politics. ”
"At a young age, he has a good bearing." When Concubine Duan and the others saw this, they all had a little appreciation in their hearts. It's not that her wording is decent, but that she is not in a hurry, this calmness, which is rare for a girl of her age.
Qiu Guifei rolled her eyes, "Where is this government?" Choosing a fief for the crown prince's own brother is obviously a family matter! ”
raised her eyebrows, "If it's a family matter, the parents are still here, why does the concubine Niangniang have to ask me?" Why don't you plead with your parents? "The emperor is sitting on top, you come to pester me, you can really do it.
"Isn't this family the crown prince and you in charge?" Qiu Guifei shouted willfully.
"This family is under the care of His Majesty the Emperor." looked at Qiu Guifei with pity, "You are drunk, what this drunk is talking about...... There is no way to interface. ”
The emperor sat at the top and looked at Qiu Guifei with a smile, obviously very interested in the dispute between the two of them. As soon as he was like this, Concubine Duan and the others couldn't interject if they wanted to interrupt the conversation, so they could only sit dignifiedly, smiling, as if there was no unpleasant thing in the hall, and it was harmonious and auspicious.
The crown prince instructed the palace maid, "Didn't you see that the concubine was drunk?" Serve the decanting soup. The palace maid held the decanting soup, Qiu Guifei drank it angrily, grabbed it and asked loudly: "You are a girl from the Pei family, you should be very bold!" Frankly speaking, are you reluctant to seal Xiao Eleven to the rich land of Zhejiang? ”
Seeing that the emperor was still smiling, he smiled and said calmly: "Do you want me to confess something, okay, as you wish." The eleventh brother is in Zhejiang, no. Not only the eleventh brother, but it is impossible for any vassal king to want to conquer Zhejiang. Zhejiang's taxes were the heaviest among the provinces in the country, and it was impossible for the imperial court to seal any vassal king here and squeeze out the tax revenue. ”
Qiu Guifei was very angry, "Being so stingy with her brother and not being a sister-in-law!" Politely told her, "Since the founding of the country, Zhejiang has not had a vassal king, could it be that the previous emperors were stingy with their brothers and sons?" There's a reason for that. The reason for this is that the concubine doesn't understand, and she doesn't have to understand, you, don't worry about it anymore. The future of the eleventh brother, His Majesty the Father and Emperor will plan carefully for him, and he will definitely not be able to treat him badly. ”
The Emperor smiled slightly, put the cup in his hand on the table, and yawned.
The eleventh prince and the other three brothers walked over quickly, helped Qiu Guifei, and apologized again and again, "My mother has probably drunk a few more cups, and the tenth brother and ten sisters-in-law don't blame her." The crown prince smiled faintly, "Concubine Qiu is a person with a true temperament, I don't blame her." As he spoke, he looked at the emperor meaningfully.
Annoyed the emperor. Xiao Shi, which pot you don't open and mention, I thought she was really temperamental, do you remember it now? This unlucky kid.
Qiu Guifei was helped down by her sons, she refused to go, and struggled to turn back, "What Zhejiang pays more taxes, you lied to me, right?" It's just that I don't want to admit it, so why bother to find such a reason. ”
Very calm, "How much taxes are paid across the country, how many acres of land, although I can't say that I can't memorize it backwards, I also know it in my heart, and I can't make mistakes." Why do you have to go to Zhejiang? Because Zhejiang is rich. It is obvious that in a land of abundance, taxes must be abundant. ”
If we don't collect taxes from rich places, do we collect taxes from poor places?
The eleventh prince and others accompanied him again and again, coaxed Qiu Guifei back to her seat, and persuaded her to drink a bowl of sobering soup. Originally, this banquet was still very harmonious, but Qiu Guifei was crazy about drinking, and the atmosphere was disturbed. Concubine Duan, Concubine Xian and others sat with laughter, scolding Qiu Guifei in their hearts for being troublesome. The emperor was pleased and lightly ordered, "It's not too early, let's disperse." The eleventh prince and others were busy taking Qiu Guifei to say goodbye first, and Concubine Duan and Concubine Xian and others were also eager for this sound and hurriedly slipped away. In the huge side hall, only the emperor, the empress and the crown prince and his wife remained.
Empress Zhang has always been a little uneasy, not only to look at Xiao Shihe here, but also to quietly observe the emperor's reaction, which is very hard. Seeing that the palace concubines were gone, Queen Zhang thought about it and felt that her words were inappropriate tonight, and she had to make up for her mother-in-law, so she said lovingly: "Deyin, paying taxes or something, it's not something that the harem should be in charge of, you can't be careful about it in the future." ”
smiled and agreed, "Yes, Queen Mother." "I promised, euphemistically defended, "I have known this since I was a child, and I am afraid that I will not forget it for a while, and I ask the queen mother to be more tolerant." ”
The crown prince clenched his hand under the case.
Empress Zhang saw that the emperor's face was very calm, and said with a smile: "Did you learn these in your mother's house?" That's not what a girl should know. "How does the Pei family teach their children, De Rong Yangong does not teach, humility and obedience do not teach, teach these messes.
smiled gently, "Deyin thinks that there is no harm in the girl's family knowing a little bit about career economy and broadening her horizons." Otherwise, men are very good, women are too shallow, how can they stand together, and how can they be harmonious. ”
The weaker a man is, the more he asks a woman to be weaker than him, and the more he can't see an excellent woman. If a man is good, it's another matter.
The husband and wife, one stands very tall, and the other is humble to the ground, it is strange that they can be harmonious.
Empress Zhang looked at the emperor's face and was still calm, she couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, and she didn't dare to criticize it, and said with a smile: "Deyin, this kid, is really different. ”
The emperor said lightly: "The queen is not in good health, she is tired tonight, go back and rest early." Empress Zhang couldn't see anything else, the emperor was chasing her, she still knew what she wanted, and no matter how reluctant she was, she had to get up and say goodbye and go back to her Kunning Palace.
