Chapter 63: Poor People
Shui Shi Qiao paused, "Please make it clear to my father-in-law." ”
Hong Changzhi shook his head, his expression and movements were like gossip, from a distance, he couldn't find fault at all, but his tone was solemn, "Specifically, our family doesn't know." I only heard Concubine Yue mention that the emperor had a temporary idea last night and wanted to summon Miss Shui into the palace for an audience. There were no signs before or after this thought, only something different...... It was in the imperial garden that I met His Royal Highness King Jing and said a few words that others didn't know. ”
Shui Shi Qiao's brows furrowed.
King Jing Xiaozhong, the second son of the emperor, was born to the serious Empress Yuan. Because the eldest prince is gone, he occupies the eldest and the heir, and Xiao Zuo is particularly interested in his status and status, so although he is mediocre, he has no prestige in the court and the people, and even looks like a "transparent person" in Liuli's words, but he is still a strong contender for the crown prince. Before, because Xiao Zuo favored Jiulang Xiao Zhen, Cui Shufei was favored again, and she was in a confrontation with him. Now in the eyes of outsiders, King Jin was defeated inexplicably, and many people thought that he had fallen under the hands of the second prince, and he was already a bit of a standout.
In fact, adult princes, such as the fifth prince Tuwang Xiao Shi, the seventh prince Lu Wang Xiao An, and the tenth prince Dewang Xiao Mu are all ambitious, but they are just ambitious, and they are useless if they have no strength. Xiao Zuo has experienced the cruel battle to seize the throne, and he is in the prime of life, and he is very protective of his sons, and the princes are in charge of some affairs in the court, and they have all been crowned kings, but they have no real power, and they can't cultivate the power that they can see. Therefore, unless those princes join forces, or Xiao Zhong makes a big mistake, it is difficult to shake his position, no wonder Hong Changzhi wants to say that Xiao Zhong is a "prince candidate".
And this His Royal Highness King Jing also had collusion with the dead Qiu Shuanghua, and had a secret deployment in Jiangnan, so it can be seen that he is not a good match to do these things under Xiao Zuo's nose. At least not exactly with the dullness and mediocrity he showed. It's just that he drags things out, and he's not too capable. Qiu Shuanghua also wanted to use the secret threat of the Cao Gang and Liuli to take refuge in the past when she was desperate. Although Liuli finally extinguished this thought, Xiao Zhong is also a hidden danger after all.
The most special point is that although the second prince is inconspicuous, he seems to have no moral flaws, and he is humble and reasonable, benevolent and gentle, and sympathetic to the people's suffering. Except for Xiao Zhen, several other princes were concubines. He is the only one, only a prince and a concubine. But with Qiu Shuanghua's case, they naturally understand that he is actually very lustful, but he just has to dress like a decent gentleman. At this point, it is very similar to Wen Ningzhi. In Liuli's words: This kind of talent is terrible, he has suppressed his nature for a long time, and he is either breaking out in silence, or he is perverted in silence.
Xiao Zhong suddenly appeared at this time, and it was likely to influence Xiao Zuo's decision to let Liuli enter the palace. What's the conspiracy?
Suddenly, Shui Shiqiao became vigilant, "Thank you to the father-in-law ward, Liuli entered the palace that day." I also hope that my father-in-law will take care of one or two. ”
"That's natural." Hong Changzhi nodded, very sincerely.
When people live, don't you take care of me, and I take care of you? What's the point of otherwise? The Cao Gang is interesting enough for dogs. It's really like raising a puppy, it's smooth and smooth, and the water is in place. He can't be lazy for the sake of his grandson. Moreover, the moment he saw the dog, he suddenly changed his mind.
But those who fancy family affection cannot be completely ruthless. Because he remembers his children and grandchildren, he has never cultivated a cruel heart that is inferior to animals. has been with the emperor's master and servant for decades, somewhat incense, betraying the emperor, and feeling guilty in his heart, he doesn't want the emperor to be kicked off the dragon throne and cut off the dragon's head. But today, he has some hope that the world has changed hands. If the day is changed, he can leave the palace. He himself is not like a human being, and a ghost is not like a ghost, but in the future, he can be a real human being with a dog.
In the past, Miss Liuli should have passed him, if everyone has a life, he must be let out of the palace to live for a long time. He believed her words, in the end, there have been countless readers of god faces, grimaces, and demon faces over the years, and he can tell how much is true from false.
And on this day, although Hong Changzhi kept reminding himself not to be greedy, he still stayed for more than an hour before returning to the palace. How to explain to the emperor, naturally it took a lot of brains.
However, after Shui Shi Qiao told Liuli about Hong Changzhi's reminder, Liuli sneered, "It's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and slip away, and I'm looking at what Xiao Zhong's idea is." ”
Seeing that Shui Shi Qiao was very worried, he comforted again, "Stone, don't worry, Xiao Zhong is hypocritical, and hypocritical people try not to fall into the hands of others and be honest." So in the palace, in full view, he won't produce any moths! "Actually, I have a hunch in my heart, I'm afraid it's not to marry her, right?
She really couldn't imagine that one day a reckless girl like her from a low background would become the top aristocratic man in Da Zhao, and it was really funny that you snatched the fat from me. But she is really not nervous, not to mention that Hong Changzhi will secretly protect each other, Xiao Shiyi's desire to control is so strong, and she will not let it go. Regarding Hong Changzhi, she had told Xiao Shiyi before, so his eyeliner concubine and Hong Hezhi had already joined forces, and naturally it was also one of the helps. Today, this palace is no longer a tiger's den in Longtan for her.
On the morning of the third day of the new year, she was forced to get up and dress up: a plain lotus blue ruyi pattern narrow-sleeved robe, a plain velvet embroidered orchid skirt, brocade and wool short boots, a simple and generous bun, a hairpin with pearls with silver rhombic flowers and pearls, and a jade bird pattern comb next to it. The bracelet on his hand, the collar on his chest, and the pendant on his ear are all made of pearls mixed with silver. This body is shallow and light, but it is by no means shabby, worthy of the solemnity and dignity of entering the palace.
The worship is still in the Jinyun Palace of Concubine Cui Shu, showing that the harem is still dominated by the Cui family. followed the flow to meet the concubines who sat in a row, with heads and faces, and nothing special happened, but because Wen Yiyun was going to marry Wang Qi, the concubine of the Marquis of Weiyuan, after the New Year, about Wen Ningzhi was Xiao Zuo's favorite minister, several concubines rewarded her.
After all, Liuli still occupies the identity of the righteous daughter of Ning'an Hou, and she came with the Wen sisters. Wen Zhiyun was already married and was no longer a noble daughter of the Hou Mansion, but her mother-in-law had a fate, she gave birth to a child soon after she got married, and she was used to pleasing people, it was her mother-in-law who took her into the palace and authorized her to be with her sisters.
With the blessing of Towen Yiyun, Liuli was able to stand in front of the "nobles in the palace" for a while, although he was cautious in etiquette, he still took the opportunity to glance at the high Cui Shufei a few times.
Cui Shufei was a lot haggard, her previously slightly plump figure became slender, and the proud expression on her face also turned into sorrow. What is rare is that she is not afraid of being seen. generously put on a "miserable" appearance. If she was like a flamboyant peony before, but now she has become a lotus flower after the rain, I feel a little pity. No wonder Xiao Zuo not only didn't blame her, but even more pity? Although this woman is stupid, she still has a very good set of methods for competing for favor in the harem and how to capture men's hearts.
Cui Shufei didn't show any special love or hatred for Liuli, as if she was a stranger, and there was no love or hatred between each other, only after she and the Wen sisters met, they said lightly. "Shui Liuli, the emperor said, tell you to go to the audience later, and there is a eunuch outside to lead you there." I only called her, which meant that she was asked to go alone, and no one else followed.
Liuli responded, and gained countless complicated eyes.
In fact, today's noblewomen and ladies in Beijing are curious about Concubine Cui Shu, and they are also curious about her. Since Jiulang's accident, Concubine Cui Shu has not shown up in the deep palace. She doesn't go out of the door, and she doesn't step out of the second door. And the more mysterious it is, the more it can roll up the wind of gossip. There are some people who are very sympathetic to her, after all, a good future princess. His Royal Highness the former King of Jin seemed to like her quite a lot, and in a blink of an eye, she became a commoner girl again. Even if you remarry in the future, I am afraid that the relationship with the former Jin King will become a pimple in the hearts of husband and wife. It may not be able to be beautiful. However, many more people are jealous. Why, she's like this. The emperor was still very good to her, not only did he not make her suffer the conviction of the throne, but also made a speech to appease her, and rewarded her in large quantities. Even when he entered the palace during the New Year, he was called alone, which was really too vast.
However, Liuli has always done her own thing, Wang Linlang left Beijing, and she hasn't seen Princess Xiao Ya for a long time, and her relationship with others is general, which cares about the views and eyes of others, and after retreating thoughtfully, she was taken to the Nanxun Hall by a small yellow door for Xiao Zuoxia to rest.
Bow as usual, auspicious words are repeated, and there is no obstacle to the glass. Xiao Zuo actually never cared about or paid attention to her, in his dragon eyes, Liuli was just a chess piece, a woman. In this world, he has only looked at Huo Honglian, he has only treated Concubine Cui Shu sincerely, and he doesn't even remember his face too much. He had no idea that his world was secretly setting off an unstoppable storm in the future because of a small chess piece.
"You are a filial daughter, your brother has a meritorious service in the country, and the Bicao Gang is very rich, and your brothers and sisters don't care about those things, because of the maritime trade, there are strange things among the people, and I don't know what to reward you." After the official said a few words, Xiao Zuo smiled "kindly", "Although the courtiers often say that thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, in the end, I want to have some sincerity for your brothers and sisters. ”
"With the emperor's words, it is the greatest praise for the courtiers and sisters." Liuli lowered her eyebrows and said smoothly, but she snorted coldly in her heart: Is there still too much money? Disturbing with Arutai until the treasury is even weaker, and if you are reluctant to give up the silver, you will say that you are reluctant, and what is the use of saying beautiful words well. Furthermore, what kind of filial piety is mentioned? It is a matter of filial piety. As soon as the filial piety period has passed, you can get married, but now you can discuss marriage.
Thinking of Jiulang, Ruri's heart was even colder. Although the emperor is ruthless, in the end, he is first and foremost a person. As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children. But what about Xiao Zuo? He didn't kill Jiulang, but he only mentioned the word "Shuren" to his once favorite son, and his tone was indifferent, what kind of hard-hearted person does this person have? But he is not the only one, Xiao Shiyi's father was not more ruthless back then.
So at the end of the day, Kuro and Eleven are poor people.
