Chapter 2 Attempts
She guessed, but Xiao Zhen already knew who it was. He opened his mouth, but he didn't respond, but turned to Liuli and said, "Today, I must enter the palace to see my father and the emperor to talk about business, and I can't be separated." Tomorrow is the New Year, and I can't get out when I'm trapped in the palace. Then it's better the day after tomorrow, I will go to Ning'an Hou's Mansion to visit, you wait for me, okay? ”
Glass should be.
Xiao Zhen nodded with Shui Shiqiao, led the horse to the carriage, bowed his head slightly, and whispered something. After that, he got into the car and left.
"Eighty percent is my future mother-in-law." Liuli said to Shui Shi Qiao, shrugged his shoulders, and looked indifferent.
Shui Shi Qiao didn't speak, but the feeling of regret, regret for agreeing to such a dangerous plan for Liuli, flooded in his heart again, and gradually turned into a bitter taste.
At this time, on the carriage, Xiao Zhen faced Concubine Cui Shu, who was dressed as an ordinary noblewoman and looked like a good sister, lowered her head and saluted respectfully and distantly, "Mother." ”
"I didn't mess with you, did I?" Cui Shufei said coldly.
Actually, she misses her son very much. I haven't seen each other for months, and I miss and worry day and night. Jiulang is her favorite person in this world, even the emperor can't cover it. It's just that for some reason, the taste changes when the words reach the mouth. It's because ...... Have mother and son been snubbed by each other for too long? She's not for him yet? The child who grew up in the harem, if he is not ruthless, blindly spoiled will become a soft bone in the fat powder pile. The emperor likes Jiulang deeply because he has a manly spirit.
No one knows the emperor better than her. It's just that now the emperor is old, and it's unpredictable. For example, I have to ask Jiulang to marry the daughter of the Cao Gang. In her life, she has suffered enough from fame, and she can't let her son suffer again!
Xiao Zhen didn't know how to answer, so he was simply silent.
This made a nameless fire rise in Cui Shufei's heart, and her voice became colder, "You said that you wouldn't marry her." ”
Xiao Zhen pursed his lips. "Mother, I changed my mind. I'm going to marry her, because ...... I like her. ”
Cui Shufei turned her head abruptly and stared at her son, "What's so good about her?" Don't think that I'm in the deep palace and ignore it, I sent someone to inquire in detail, it was a rude woman who didn't know how to be rude, that is, she was not talented, her appearance was average, and her temperament was even worse. Borrowed to live in Ning'an Hou Mansion. With the help of other people's identities, you can barely match you, just don't be grateful, and the two girls of the Wen family can't get along. How can such a person be your concubine? How will the world be honored in the future? I don't understand, what the hell do you like about her! I'm not afraid to tell you that your good eleventh brother asked her to go to Yishan's Zhuangzi to enjoy the snow a few days ago, and she was the only one! You know what kind of lustful thing Eleven is, if everyone is beautiful, for their own reputation. It's too late to hide, and you definitely won't go. Don't forget, there were a bit of murky rumors between the two of them before. Even if you don't mind any of this, think about her life! It has to be a hard-fought person. A few days after arriving at the Ning'an Hou Mansion, how many murders did you see in the Wen family? There was also a fire! ”
"What does all this have to do with Liuli?" Hearing the mother concubine crackling a lot, Xiao Zhen retorted impatiently, "What a noble person the mother is." Like a country fool, she also believes the rumors of those Kefu Ke's family? ”
When Cui Shufei heard her son compare herself to an ignorant woman, she was furious. She has never been a calm and steady temper. Because he was a little flattering to his son, he spoke in a suppressed voice, and at this time, he still cared about it, and slapped his knee and said, "Unfilial son!" I'm here for your good! Don't think that your father favors you and puts the shipping rights in your hands, just because he values you. As long as it is done well, the position of the East Palace has a good chance. Do you think that your father did not promote me to queen because the original queen party prevented me? No! It's just because I was the widow of the Fu family before, and my reputation is not good! How many times have I told you that your father attaches the most importance to orthodoxy, because he relied on orthodoxy when he seized the throne! So do you think that if you marry a reckless girl from the Cao Gang, she is still an out-of-room student, will you still have a chance to sit in that chair in the future? Beauty misleads the country, you can't give up our plans for so many years just because you are happy for a while! When other men marry a wife, they marry a wife, but you marry a country! It's a big bit! It's an opportunity! ”
Cough! There was a coughing sound from Mama Zhao outside.
The carriage was specially made, and it was difficult for people outside to hear the conversations of the people inside. But Concubine Cui Shufei was in a hurry and shouted, and Mama Zhao had to remind her vaguely.
Xiao Zhen thought that for so many years, it was not easy for her mother to be in the palace, she gave birth to five children, but only he was the only one left, her heart softened, and her voice was relaxed, "Don't be restless and impatient, don't be impatient, let's think about this matter in the long run?" Not to mention that my father will not let me withdraw from the marriage, but I have many benefits of marrying Liuli, and my mother has not seen it. Although it depends on orthodoxy to sit in that position, the father also depends on the strength of his sons. Although Liuli is not one of the ladies that the mother and concubine like, she will definitely be a virtuous helper. ”
"You know what!" Cui Shufei snorted coldly, "Man, the quality of the first half of his life depends on his background. The quality of the second half of his life, his wife and the Yue family can play a great role. There is a saying that a virtuous wife and a husband have few misfortunes, although this metaphor is not appropriate, but it is the same reason. In addition to strength, it also depends on connections. What if you use the power and money of the Cao Gang to fight for that position? You have to sit still. But if you marry a commoner girl, what do you think of those nobles in Tokyo? How can they support you? Let the untouchables climb to their heads, which is the last thing they want to see! If you ascend the throne in the future, it is inevitable that the princes and ministers will send their daughters and granddaughters to the palace. Do those noble ladies have to succumb to the feet of commoners? At that time, do you want to kill your wife and offend the Cao Gang and stir up a civil disaster, or do you want the powerful people in Beijing to be separated from you and stir up instability in the DPRK? ”
Xiao Zhen knotted, I really don't know what to say.
I have to say that the mother concubine has a point. No one knows what the emperor thinks, for his favorite son, except for Xiao Zhongzhong, the third prince of the original queen, the prince Feng has the highest voice, he has hired a commoner girl as his wife, just because the other party's brother has a life-saving grace for himself, no matter what, it seems to be child's play, it seems that he is a gift and sent it out casually. For some reasons, many people speculated that he had done something very wrong, which led to an instant fall from grace and basically lost the opportunity to inherit the unification.
But the strength of the Cao Gang and the power of shipping were handed over to him again, indicating that his father's favor for him was undiminished. Just tightened and loosened, degraded and mentioned, making the matter of the canonization of the East Palace confusing again. So now, no one dares to mention this matter, and all the princes and nobles are watching.
However, if he really marries Liuli, it will be the trend of the dust settled, and he can no longer adjust his strategy according to his father's wishes, so he can only fight for this road with all his might. After that, it is the situation that the mother said, even if she wins the position, I am afraid that there will be internal and external troubles. Although the father and emperor tried their best to cut Pan and succeed in cutting Pan and complete the imperial power, the powerful ministers and nobles of Tokyo also had to be appeased. It's okay if Liuli is not a wife, but such a woman will not be a concubine.
He understood. He understands both. But he just couldn't bear to show glass. This little half a year alone in Dongjin, if it weren't for the correspondence with Liuli, it would be difficult for him to endure those loneliness and hardships. It is precisely because of these that he feels that he can't do without her unconsciously, and he has the feeling of sharing weal and woe with her.
"Mother, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Now it's useless to say anything, this is a marriage, and it can't be dissolved. He didn't know how to reply to his mother, so he simply pulled out this as a shield. Even if he didn't plan to marry Ruri before, it was a difficult problem to solve, not to mention that now he was concerned about her?
Cui Shufei really stopped talking, but Xiao Zhen didn't notice the flash of light in her eyes. Can't get it off? Well, let it not work out at all! At that time, even the emperor had nothing to say.
"It's a big deal." Cui Shufei sighed, looking very tired and helpless, "But I'm not at ease after all." Seeing that it has been almost a year, there are no women in the Hou Mansion of Ning'an, and no female dependents have entered the palace in previous years. If you bring her here this year, I want to see with my own eyes what Shui Liuli is capable of, and I actually make my son really like her. As he spoke, he glanced at his son.
Xiao Zhen was a little embarrassed.
After all, it is an ancient person, and it will be a little embarrassing to talk about his sweetheart with his mother. And Xiao Zhen, like all men, would only be stupidly happy in the face of the sudden compromise of his strong mother, but he didn't expect that there would be other conspiracies.
After entering the palace, Xiao Zhen met his father alone. The father and son kept talking to each other late at night, and Xiao Zuo was quite satisfied with his son's performance in Dongjin Mansion. The establishment of the government is a paper order for the imperial court, and it is full cooperation for the six ministries. For Jiuro, it is rare that he has to do everything himself, from the selection of officials to the cornerstone of the port, and he can do it in just a few months.
With such talent, he can be competent even if he governs the country in the future.
Of course, no one could guess Xiao Zuo's thoughts, and he didn't leak half a point. Hong Changzhi, the chief eunuch in the palace, has been personally guarding the door, sending away all the people who came to inquire about the news, and no news was revealed. But when he personally sent Xiao Zhen to the dormitory, while Xiao Zhen was unprepared, he quickly put a paper ball in the hollow of the third old tree by the clear water pool.
Xiao Zhen has been crowned king and has a mansion outside the palace, but if any prince talks to the emperor late, he can't leave the palace and has a fixed residence in the palace. However, the prince who can make the emperor stay so late has only one of the Nine Highnesses in recent years, right?
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a good rest, Ming'er is a young year, and the palace is still lively." Delivered to the door of the dormitory, Hong Changzhi bent over and said, his face full of respectful and humble smiles.
"Thank you, Grandpa Hong." Xiao Zhen had a gentle attitude, "I went back to the beach for a few days, and I got some strange gadgets, and I dared to give my father a look, and then give my father-in-law a few things to play." ”
"Old slave Xie Jin, His Royal Highness reward." Hong Changzhi did not refuse, but responded happily.
His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a way to come clearly and be smart. In this palace, what does the emperor not know? The other princes secretly made money, so the emperor didn't like it. Because the emperor hates three words the most: ambition.
He was very optimistic about His Highness the Nine, but if that one intervened...... I can't tell.
