Yang Jiabao's physical condition is not good, and if Yang Men Taijun wants to prosper the Yang family, he has to rely on Zhao Duoyi.

Otherwise, Yang Men Taijun would not have bothered to let Zhao Duoyi apprentice.

Grasping Zhao Duoyi, Princess Qin is equivalent to stucking the neck of the Yang family.

"Alright, Yi'er, let's eat."

"Hmm."

Zhao Duoyi saw that Princess Qin's face was shining again, and there was a little more reassuring smile on his lips, and he persuaded: "Actually, the mother concubine doesn't have to worry about her younger brothers, no one will treat her father's son badly in the East Palace, the eldest brother has been very famous recently, and the vassals of the East Palace dare not treat the younger brothers badly." ”

Princess Qin, who was in a better mood, heard the last truth, and she was sour.

The concubine of the king of Qin was reduced to the face of the concubine, which was unheard of in the Ming Dynasty.

The difference between the concubines and the nobles is extremely harsh.

Even though Princess Qin is a step-concubine, the son she gave birth to is also a son-in-law, and he is naturally a little more noble than Zhao Duoze.

"Yi'er is more useful." Princess Qin couldn't help but be displeased, and gave Zhao Duoyi vegetables, "Most of them are what you like to eat, eat more." ”

Zhao Duoyi knew that Princess Qin had a knot in her heart for Zhao Duoze, so she didn't say anything more and concentrated on eating.

After eating, Princess Qin said again: "You have also seen the young lady of Xingrong Houjia, how do you look good?" ”

"It's up to the concubine to decide."

Zhao Duoyi smiled shyly, arched his hand and said: "If the mother concubine looks good, she is good, and the left and right mother concubines will not harm me." ”

"Guan Niang's child has excellent appearance, affinity and liveliness, your grandmother likes it very much, and she is the favorite concubine who is implicated in the harem...... I'm afraid that the prince won't be able to pass it. You also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the trust of His Majesty, and Guan Niang's aunt has favored the Sixth Palace in recent years, and has competed with the Queen Mother many times, I am worried...... Worried about the recurrence of the events of the early Han Dynasty. ”

"The emperor is not Han Gaozu, and the queen is not Queen Lu." Zhao Duoyi sighed softly: "No matter how favored you are, what's the use of not having the prince by your side?" However, the mother's worries are also reasonable, the queen is always the mother of the country, and her aunt is indeed out of line. ”

"Except for her aunt, Guan Niang is excellent. There is no perfect person in this world. Princess Qin thought for a while and said, "Originally, I wanted to help you find someone like the princess...... It's a pity that if the princess can be raised by ordinary people, she will not be pampered by the prince. The prince treats the princess as a baby, and since he has the princess, the prince has never looked for anyone else. ”

Zhao Duoyi smiled faintly: "Because it's worth it." ”

He looked as if he had completely let go.

Princess Qin was a little unwilling, if Zhao Duoyi liked the deceased princess, how could she feel nothing? Or does he no longer have the courage to think about the princess?

Thinking of Jiang Luyao's calm and pretty face, Princess Qin's heart was blocked, she had always thought highly of herself, she had a lot of plots in front of Jiang Luyao, the palace was infiltrated by Jiang Luyao layer by layer, and now the key point, although the oil and water department is still in her hands.

But Jiang Luyao got those rules and regulations, forcing the cronies who were close to Princess Qin to dare not take a step beyond Lei Chi, even if the cronies were in charge, it was difficult for them to do what they wanted as in the past.

Most of these cronies are old people in the palace, and many of them are the dowries of Princess Qin, who are very faceless in front of the masters, and they are bound by the new rules, so they naturally want to make trouble, so Princess Qin asked them to cry in front of the concubine to complain about their grievances.

As a result, before they finished crying, Jiang Luyao took the account book to see the concubine.

Years of old accounts, Jiang Luyao only took an hour to calculate it clearly, it doesn't matter, this group of people embezzled a lot of money from the palace, and the concubine was so angry that she almost turned her back on it, and it happened that Jiang Luyao's biological mother and second wife were also there, and after saying a lot of things, she scolded the servants of the palace for being shameless and daring to dig into the corner of the master's wall.

The second wife hated this kind of slave the most, and she spoke very politely, and suggested that the concubine could not leave such a slave.

Princess Qin originally wanted to intercede with them, but if the palace was too mean to the minions, it would make outsiders talk about it.

But the second wife said that she embezzled money, and she still used to be polite? Those who indulge in the greed for ink and silver are either fools or stay.

The second wife's nerdy gaze hurt Princess Qin very much.

The concubine just let go, Jiang Luyao didn't do anything to this group of people, she just wanted to recover the silver they coveted from the Mo Palace, but most of the silver was used, where did they have the silver?

However, Jiang Luyao has a high trick, using the public to pay off the debt, in addition to giving them the necessary monthly living money, the rest of the wages are all deducted as repayment.

The servants of the palace were sorted out, and no one dared to underestimate the princess at this time.

Rectifying the servants is not the most angry for Princess Qin, what makes her feel even more aggrieved is that Jiang Luyao didn't leave her a chance, she just said that the rest of the Jiang family's heads were moved, and the Jiang family made a scandal of unfilial piety that the concubine murdered his mother-in-law.

The Jiang family naturally separated, and now there is only Jiang Erye's family in the Yongning Hou Mansion, and Princess Qin's previous plan has been put to waste.

Princess Qin also planned to use Jiang Luqi to have a personal affair with Zhao Duoyi, or to pinch Xiao Ruihua, or to smear Jiang Luyao, and also thought of borrowing Jiang Luqi to get Jiang Luyao and Zhao Duoyi together...... But before she could do anything.

Over there, Xiao Ruihua picked two rooms and married another wife, and Jiang Luqi closed the door in the name of recuperation.

Every time, Jiang Luyao rushed in front of Princess Qin, making the strategy that Princess Qin wanted unable to be implemented, and she was depressed every time.

Princess Qin sometimes wonders, is Jiang Luyao able to read minds? How is it that every time she hasn't done anything, she cleanly removes the weakness.

Can't you leave a chance for Princess Qin?

Can't you wait until Princess Qin makes a move, and then Jiang Luyao will fight back?

Princess Qin pressed her forehead, "I heard that the princess and Guan Niang are quite good, the princess is smarter than Guan Niang, and she knows how to have a relationship with the harem concubine." ”

"Mother concubine......" Zhao Duoyi is not good at speaking for his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law should just value Miss Xingrong Houfu." ”

"Yi'er, I'm worried that your future wife will be compared to the princess and have no status."

"My sister-in-law is the princess, and her status in the palace should be higher than that of my son's future wife."

"You?!"

Princess Qin was once again depressed by Zhao Duoyi, "That's it, if the concubine and the prince agree, I can't say anything." ”

Zhao Duoyi nodded and said, "The son let the mother concubine worry about it." ”

"It's okay, but I don't know if the prince will value Guan Niang." Since Princess Qin dared to provoke Guan Niang to stimulate the nerves of the widow of the Yang Sect, it was because she knew that the King of Qin might agree to this marriage.

King Qin did not value Guan Niang's favorite concubine and aunt, but valued the grievances of Xing Ronghou and Yang Shuai.

More than anyone else, the King of Qin wanted to eliminate the influence of his marriage to Yang Shuai.

married the world-recognized Xingrong Hou beloved daughter who had grievances with Yang Shuai, and he could also express his attitude to the emperor that King Qin had no intention of taking over everything from Yang Shuai.

At the same time, the prince's illness is also worried about the king of Qin, once the prince dies, the emperor will be abolished and set up another queen, in the name of the queen is the next prince's blood origin, recently Guan Niang's aunt is willing to adopt the motherless eighth prince.

As long as the emperor succeeds the eighth prince to her name, she may ascend to the position of queen.

If the eighth prince dares to disrespect her if he becomes the crown prince in the future, he will drown the eighth prince by spitting on the stars.

Once the crown prince ascends the throne and the queen takes revenge on Guan Niang's aunt, King Qin can let Zhao Duoyi divorce his wife...... Although Zhao Duoyi hated the heart of King Qin, the sons of the world had to sacrifice for the future of King Qin's mansion, not to mention a concubine and daughter-in-law.

Yangmen Taijun also knew that King Qin was ruthless, so Princess Qin thought about using Guan Niang to force Yangmen Taijun to expose the change, who would have thought that Yangmen Taijun would hold back.

*****

At night, Princess Qin got definite news from King Qin, and King Qin asked her to prepare a dowry...... Princess Qin agreed with a smile, "Lord, the princess also mentioned the matter of stones a few days ago, why didn't the princess move?" This batch of stones was bought cheaply by the concubine's family. ”

It is impossible for King Qin to crisscross the market like Jiang Erye and listen to the price fluctuations of stones, in the eyes of King Qin, the affairs of merchants are trivial and mundane.

"I'm afraid that the princess is taking care of the queen mother in the palace, and the princess has been repairing the garden for a few days." Princess Qin snuggled in King Qin's arms, "The concubine sees that the limelight of diligence and thrift has passed, and it is a good time to break ground at this time." ”

King Qin does not object to the concubine overhauling the garden, indulging in pleasure, but also let the emperor rest assured, recently the prince of Qin Zhao Duoze is famous, King Qin heard that Zhao Duoze led the army of 800 to break 10,000, not only did not have any surprises, proud of the son, but was so frightened that he almost asked for guilt.

If it weren't for the emperor's satisfaction with Zhao Duoze to King Qin, King Qin might have asked for family law for his famous son.

I've never seen such a trouble-prone son.

"Tomorrow, you can talk to your daughter-in-law and build the garden as soon as possible, so that your mother can live in it as soon as possible."

"It's not easy to say this, but why don't you talk to the prince about it? Even if the prince listens to the princess in everything, can he still not listen to the prince's orders? ”

King Qin frowned irritably, Princess Qin's words reminded him, how could the future heir of King Qin's Mansion be subject to his wife?

"Look at the way the prince frowned...... The concubine is so distressed. ”

Princess Qin's white jade-like fingers gently rubbed King Qin's brows, and gently hugged King Qin's waist, "Why is the prince worried?" Is there something going on out there? ”

King Qin sighed and said, "If the daughter-in-law is as obedient and sensible as a princess, it would be good if she knew how to persuade Aze." Aze is not reassuring, he doesn't make any movement every once in a while, and he feels uncomfortable, and outsiders say that Aze is Yang Shuai's rebirth. Yang Shuai ......"

What's so good?

The Yang family is not miserable enough?

King Qin didn't want the palace to follow in the footsteps of the Yang family one day in the future.

"The concubine knows that the prince cherishes the prince." Princess Qin said distressedly: "You are worried, and the prince will not know, the second master Jiang dares to say anything, the prince, you are too introverted, this is not as good as the father-in-law of the prince." ”

King Qin still doesn't look down on Jiang Erye until now.

As long as Jiang Er Ye can still be in the name of Yang Shuai, King Qin will not want to see Jiang Er Ye for a day.

He didn't want to have an extra 'father-in-law' on his head.

Princess Qin saw through King Qin's thoughts, and the useless prince was actually frightened by Jiang Erye.

King Qin said: "After two days, when Aze is free, I will talk to him again." ”

"As long as the princess is no longer worried."

"This king knows the princess ......" King Qin untied Princess Qin's clothes, kept his wife's delicate body, and swayed, and for a while the sound of coquettish moans in the curtain was endless.

*******

"Yaoyao, you're still sleeping, stay with me."

Zhao Duoze bit his beloved wife's ear, leaned against Jiang Luyao, and said pitifully: "I finally came back a little early, but you only care about sleeping and ignore me." ”

"It's annoying." Jiang Luyao closed her eyes to avoid Zhao Duoze's harassment, and touched his head, "Good, let me sleep for a while." ”

Zhao Duoze seemed to be appeased by the tiger, rubbed Jiang Luyao's palm, and looked at his sleepy wife carefully, his eyes brightened, "Did Yaoyao find a doctor?" Will you ......?"

"No, you don't know when I'm going to change it?"

"Then you should find a doctor."

The joy in Zhao Duoze's heart went to most of it, and he said worriedly: "Are you sick?" ”

"You're sick!" Jiang Luyao blocked Zhao Duoze's mouth with her hand this time, "Shut up and sleep." ”

Zhao Duoze's ears drooped listlessly, "Okay, sleep, sleep." ”

Holding his beloved wife, Zhao Duoze thought that he must find a doctor tomorrow to take a look, Yaoyao is not good for her health if she sleeps like this.

After running around for a day, Zhao Duoze was not sleepy, and the news from Jiangnan that the river was already rising, and the river yamen was also secretly sped on by the emperor himself...... Zhao Duoze had the heart to go to the banks of the Huai River in person, but he didn't know if the emperor could trust him.

If the emperor sends him out of Beijing, once the stone matter leaks, Jiang Luyao will bear a lot of blame.

Zhao Duoze was reluctant to suffer Yaoyao, but ...... It was a great opportunity to go to the banks of the Huai River, and he was unwilling to give it up.

What to do?

Zhao Duoze stared at Jiang Luyao's sleeping face, just that, there will be opportunities in the future, let Yaoyao suffer, is he still Yaoyao's good husband?

After the accident, King Qin and the concubine will definitely come out as a substitute, so let him personally appreciate his father's choice.

*****

In a teahouse somewhere in the capital, Zhao Duoze said to Xiao Ruihua across a table, "You go to Jiangnan, and I will stay in the capital." ”

Xiao Ruihua squeezed the teacup for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "I'll go?" It's not supposed to be ......"

"I'll stay in the capital." Zhao Duoze said resolutely.

"Is it for His Royal Highness King Qin? Or is it for the princess? ”

"Both."

"Which is heavier?"

"Yaoyao."

Zhao Duoze knew everything, and he didn't say anything, and there was no hesitation between his eyebrows.

Xiao Ruihua smiled: "It's over, His Royal Highness." ”

You don't have to pay much attention to Jiang Luyao in front of him, he has already admitted defeat, okay.

Zhao Duoze said: "It's not at all. ”

No matter how close people are, they don't know how important Yaoyao is to him, if there is no Yaoyao, where would he be today?

"I heard that the second brother of the prince is about to marry the second miss Xingrong Hou?"

"Hmm." Zhao Duoze nodded and said, "Princess Qin has found a good family affair for the second brother." ”

"Can Yang Men Taijun endure it?"

"She has to endure it if she doesn't want to!" The corners of Zhao Duoze's mouth mocked, "What qualifications does the Yang family have to negotiate with the emperor now?" She took the emperor's guilt seriously, but she didn't dare to use the emperor's guilt for the Yang family, she was not completely sure, and she was unlikely to expose the matter. ”

"Besides, Yongning Hou said that Xingronghou and Yang Shuai are not undying enemies, and Xingronghou scolded Yang Shuai...... It's ......"

"Angry talk?"

"The concept and ideas are not harmonious, in fact, the day Yang Shuai died, Xingronghou was not very comfortable."

"Their world, I'm afraid I can't understand it in this life." Xiao Ruihua thought silently, there is an essential difference between the civilian official group and the military general group.

The civilian clique is also very consistent with the outside world, and strictly guards against military generals pressing on their heads.

But the party struggle within the civilian clique is endless.

Zhao Duoze said slowly: "Yaoyao said that if this marriage can be successful, it will be a good thing for him, Guan Niang is a delicate and transparent woman. ”

"......" Xiao Ruihua asked with a smile: "Does the prince want to succeed in this family business?" Or is it very relieving to see him being used by Princess Qin? ”

"I don't think it's mean, and I don't think it's noble and don't care about grievances."

I don't know when Zhao Duoze regarded Xiao Ruihua as a confidant, and there were some things he could confide in him, not that he couldn't say it to Yaoyao, but that Zhao Duoze wanted to be a husband who stood up to the sky and could shield Yaoyao from all the wind and rain in front of Yaoyao.

Even if Yaoyao is very strong, she doesn't need his protection.

In front of Jiang Erye, Zhao Duoze was even more difficult to mention, first, he was afraid that his father-in-law would underestimate him, and second, he was afraid that his father-in-law would make something happen again, and the third father-in-law had given him enough, Zhao Duoze was grateful and did not dare to ask for more.

Therefore, Xiao Ruihua, who knows the truth, has not only become his ally, but also his 'confidant'.

Who would have thought that the two of them would have a calm and face-to-face time for tea, chatting, and heart-to-heart?

"At most, I don't interfere, I don't destroy, that's the limit of what I can do."

Zhao Duoze still can't like Zhao Duoyi, this is also true, when he saw Zhao Duoyi, he thought of what happened more than ten years ago, thinking of his hard career, he had no way to forgive Concubine Yang, so he naturally couldn't tolerate Zhao Duoyi.

It can be seen that Zhao Duoyi was used by Princess Qin to calculate, and Zhao Duoze also felt uncomfortable.

Yaoyao's words, he always remembered.

Both of them are right, it is someone else's fault, since he got Yaoyao and got happiness that he couldn't think of before, why should he think about Zhao Duoyi's pain?

It should be someone who shows up to drag him, and then let Zhao Duoyi be kind, Zhao Duoze doesn't know what Zhao Duoyi will be like in the future.

Xiao Ruihua filled up the tea, pushed it in front of Zhao Duoze, and asked solemnly: "Are you sure about the stone?" Playing with fire** will be laughed to death by me. ”

“……”

Zhao Duoze was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm not completely sure. ”

"Then you are still in the capital?"

"If I don't go to my father, I'm willing. You understand, Xiao Ruihua, I am not reconciled. ”

"Do you want to be recognized by King Qin, or do you want to leave without distraction?"

"There are some."

"I'd rather you give up the position of the son of the world without any distractions." Xiao Ruihua stared at the plate of dried fruits on the table, felt Zhao Duoze's gaze, his scalp was a little numb, and he said in a low voice: "The position and hatred of the prince have bound you for too long, only by breaking free from the shackles can you reach the position of power, and I will take refuge in you, and it is possible to succeed." If you can only be a prince, I ...... I'm not reconciled to myself. ”

"What are you unwilling to do? The future Shoufu Pavilion is old? ”

"It's okay if you're not willing to help a straw bale."

"Haha."

Zhao Duoze laughed, "Xiao Ruihua, you are a wonderful person." ”

"Funny?" The corners of Xiao Ruihua's mouth twitched, "Don't think it's easy to assist a straw bag, compared with the cowardly emperor of the straw bag, I am more willing to create a prosperous era with the British lord, back then, His Majesty's courage was insufficient, and the dragon body had not allowed him to innovate, although the Ming Dynasty was less bad than when His Majesty ascended the throne, but now there are many problems that need to be solved for internal and external troubles." ”

Xiao Ruihua met Zhao Duoze's eyes, "I need a monarch who trusts me and I trust, since I have given up the idea of being a minister, why can't I ask for a good story of a monarch and a minister that has been recited through the ages?" ”

"Do you think I'm a good fit?"

"If you're not suitable, I won't sit here with you and drink tea, listen to you show off that you're doing well, it's good to show off the princess, listen to you...... Say you Rory, it's a fussy annoyance. ”

Xiao Ruihua took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I'm busy, okay?" ”

The smug look on Zhao Duoze's face was overflowing, and he was evaluated by Xiao Ruihua as having the potential to be a hero, and his mouth was as sweet as honey, but his proud appearance obviously made Xiao Ruihua look very unhappy, and added: "By the way, it is also important that you married a good wife who is worthy of the annals of history and let future generations know how to be a queen." This is more important than the talent of the prince. ”

“……”

Zhao Duoze's smile stiffened on his face, Xiao Ruihua must have said this deliberately, "I know you envy me, I'm not angry." ”

Xiao Ruihua scolded secretly, cheeky!

"Since you gave me the errand to go to Jiangnan, I hope that when I return to the capital, you will still be alive, your wife...... She's still happy. ”

Xiao Ruihua got up and finally said: "Since you chose it, don't regret it, no matter what the result is, you are not alone." ”

"I remember."

"Let's go."

Xiao Ruihua pushed the door and walked out of the teahouse.

After a while, after Zhao Duoze settled the bill, he led the people to leave quietly.
