Chapter 91: The Puzzle
But it was too late, Zhu Wei'an had already seen the few people who came to see him off on a separate road, and Liu Jinsong had already ridden over. Liu Jin, who was on the horse, was relieved and magnificent, and it seemed that everything was under his control. Zhu Wei'an couldn't help clenching his fists, all this should be his own, not his, this son who was kicked out of the Zhu family and was not recognized by the Zhu family.
Liu Jinsong had already come to the front of the Zhu family's carriage, turned over and dismounted and said to Zhu Wei'an: "My mother thought, I have known Lingtang for several years, and this time I don't know when I will be able to meet, so I specially asked me to come to see him off!" ”
As he spoke, Liu Jinsong had already taken a box from the person behind him, and sent it to Zhu Wei'an with both hands: "A small gift, not a tribute!" "Liu Jinsong's ease here, it seems that Zhu Wei'an's face is pale, and there is no half a good color!
This Zhu family, as expected, can only be sorry for others, and can't be sorry for his family. Liu Jinsong's life experience was inevitably mentioned again at this moment, and some people had such a sentence in their hearts. Zhu Wei'an heard someone whispering, his face became even more pale, if he didn't accept it, he would be even more stingy, but if he wanted to accept it, he didn't know how to extinguish this breath in his heart!
"It's not early, thank you for coming to see you off! Liu Concubine, a person, can't forget his origin! Seeing that her grandson hadn't spoken for a long time, Mrs. Zhu was helped out of the carriage by the little maid and came to Liu Jinsong and said this.
"The words of the old man will naturally be remembered in the future. Lao Guogong, I will always remember that I will always remember that I will be surnamed Liu! Liu Jinsong was still respectful to Mrs. Zhu. Old lady Zhu sighed secretly in her heart, motioned for Zhu Wei'an to take over the box, and bowed her hand to Liu Jinsong: "In this life, it is inevitable that there will be ups and downs, and I don't know, can I see those!" ”
"The old man is in good health, he will definitely see it." Liu Jinsong also played with him, and the smile in his eyes did not change! Zhu Wei'an's hand tightly picked at the box, so that he could not hit the box on Liu Jinsong's head without being angry. All this should have been his own, he should have been Princess Yongle's concubine, he should have been admired in this capital, and he should have been edicted by the Son of Heaven to return to his hometown as he is now.
However, all this will change soon, the prince is the prince after all, and one day he will ascend the throne, and after ascending the throne, he will respect the queen as the queen mother, and he will be honored as the queen, and then his family will be able to return to the capital, and when the time comes, everything will be different!
Zhu Wei'an held back the anger in his heart and helped Mrs. Zhu get into the car. Second Master Zhu lifted the curtain in the car and glanced at his son, his son is handsome, smart and capable, but unfortunately, he will always be surnamed Liu and not Zhu, and now there are only so two people by his side, and it is no longer the original. No, when he wrote the letter of resignation and drove away his wife and son-in-law, Second Master Zhu also had some regrets, but now, the remorse is getting deeper and heavier, but it is too late to regret, and no one is willing to listen to him.
Tears flowed from the cloudy eyes of the second master Zhu, but his hand was reluctant to put down the curtain, the carriage had already started to move slowly, and he could no longer see the appearance of his son, no more, never.
Liu Jinsong watched all the carriages of the Zhu family leave, so he said a few words to the people who came to see them off, got on the horse and left. In the future, there will be no more names of the Zhu family in the capital, and even if the crown prince ascends the throne, the Zhu family will not return to the capital.
Liu Jinsong went to the direction of the capital in the sunshine, the smile on his face became bigger and bigger, he had a wife and children and everything, what a beautiful thing these are.
The days gradually passed, in March of the following year, Xu Zhijiao married into the Pan family, Yulin sent a congratulatory gift, Xu Zhijiao looked at Yulin's appearance, at this time, he could finally guess what the secret was, but even if he guessed, Xu Zhijiao couldn't ask, there are some secrets, it should be rotten in the heart, this, it's good for everyone.
Two months after Xu Zhijiao got married, Yulin gave birth to a son, and Liu Jinsong called his son Liang, wishing him to be the pillar of the country.
In May of this year, the Qingtang delegation came to Dayong, which was a mission that had not been here for a long time. The princess of Qin accompanied the emperor and gave a banquet to the envoys from her mother's country. The mission was led by the King of Yanbei of the Qingtang Dynasty, whom he and the emperor had also met when they were young. When the banquet was about to end, King Yanbei said: "The princess of Qin is my nephew of Qingtang, and it is also common for nephews to marry back to their ancestors' family, which is not the same as princesses and relatives. I implore the Emperor of the Yong Dynasty, Bixia, to marry the princess of Qin back! ”
This requirement did not begin at the beginning, and it made the emperor even more strange to put forward it at this time, but the emperor is the emperor after all, he only smiled faintly and said: "Princess Qin is my beloved daughter, although Qingtang is her grandfather's family, but the world is not a daughter, can marry back to her grandfather's family, this matter, can not be discussed!" ”
"In that case, then it's up to me Qingtang to marry a daughter! The eldest daughter of the Qingtang Emperor, who is seventeen this year, has a peerless appearance and is a pearl of the grassland. Emperor Qingtang has always been worried about his daughter's marriage and feels that there is no one worthy in the world. Thinking about it, in this world, only the crown prince of Emperor Dayong can match such a pearl. ”
"I, Prince Dayong, have married the crown princess and have given birth to the eldest grandson of Emperor Bixia. The princess of Qingtang naturally can't succumb to the position of the side room. It's too late! ”
It was Cheng Shoufu who spoke, and King Yanbei had already expected that Dayong would refuse, so he didn't even raise his eyelids and said: "Gao Huan, a famous minister of the Wei Dynasty, once married Princess Rouran, his original partner has given birth to five boys and four girls, and let the main room avoid it." For a generation of good stories. The marriage of Qingtang Dayong is also a good story, why should the crown princess give up the position of the concubine? ”
These words made Hu's father change his expression, this kind of request, it is difficult to refuse, after all, there are not no such examples in history! But if you really agree to such a request, it will also be a shame for Dayong. The emperor had already put down his wine glass and looked at King Yanbei: "The marriage event, every word, Qingtang's kindness, I know everything." ”
"Does Emperor Bixia want to reject Qingtang twice? Although Qingtang is weak, it is no better than other small countries to Dayong, Dayong has face, is Qingtang's face going to be beaten frequently? King Yanbei's words made Father Hu's face even worse, especially when King Yanbei had already looked at Father Hu, and anyone could see the meaning in his eyes.
"Marriage is a haode affair of two surnames. The crown princess has been in the royal family for several years, filial piety to her aunt, and her concubine, and the prince is also husband and wife. Qingtang was originally well-intentioned, but such kindness can't be fulfilled by breaking up a pair of lovers! ”
Princess Qin's words made King Yanbei's eyes flash with a hint of fierceness, and then King Yanbei smiled: "Princess Qin's words are wrong, Qingtang has no intention of breaking up a pair of lovers, but just letting the crown princess give up the position of concubine." ”
"I'm not wrong in what I said, I like someone, how can I let her be confined to a side room? King Yanbei keeps saying that Princess Qingtang is a rare pearl on the grassland, so let this pearl come and see if her light can impress others! ”
"If you are the princess of Qin Kingdom, what is it when I am the princess of Qingtang?" King Yanbei's face had already been pulled down, and the princess of Qin State hooked her lips and smiled: "Mingzhu's words were originally said by King Yanbei himself, at this moment I am just using the words of King Yanbei to say, the princess of Qingtang, if she can be confident that she can really impress others with her own strength, then why force people to give up the position of concubine now?" ”
At this moment, at the banquet, everyone was silent, all looking at King Yanbei, the fierce color in King Yanbei's eyes gradually retracted, and the princess of Qin State spoke again: "Could it be that King Yanbei thinks that the pearl is fake?" "This loser can't lose the battle, knowing that the princess of Qin is agitating with words, the king of Yanbei also has to answer: "Naturally, it's not fake, it's just ......"
"If you are really impressed, I can respond on my behalf without my father answering here!" When the princess of Qin interrupted King Yanbei, King Yanbei only felt that a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out, and gritted his teeth.
Things became like this, and there was no need for the banquet to be held any longer, and everyone dispersed, and the emperor said to the princess of Qin: "Yurong, you shouldn't ...... this matter."
"Father, don't you see? King Yanbei is deliberately looking for fault. Father, Qingtang's ambition can no longer be hidden. "Each other wants to swallow each other, but each has the ability to swallow each other in one bite, so they can only provoke slowly.
"I know, but this matter is always ......" The emperor's words revealed exhaustion, and the princess of Qin looked at her father: "Daddy, we can only delay, the princess of Qingtang will definitely not become the crown princess!" ”
The words of the princess of Qin were so sure that the emperor was silent for a long time, and it took a long time before he sighed.
This matter spread quickly throughout the capital, and Yulin naturally knew about it, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "What is Qingtang thinking, who can't see it?" It's just that how could my sister agree to such a request? ”
"This is Qingtang's excuse! But we can't afford to fight now! "The peaceful days have passed for too long, and people have forgotten the concept of war, otherwise, no one will take advantage of this crazy deduction of money, Liu Jinsong is trying to reverse these shortcomings, and want to create a strong army, but it will take time. Now, Dayong can't afford to fight.
Yulin heard the sigh in her husband's words and looked up at her husband: "How long will it take?" Three years? Five years? ”
Liu Jinsong stretched out his hand and hugged his wife into his arms: "Time, of course, the longer the better, the situation that the soldiers do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals, can not be continued." "Moreover, the difficulties encountered are also very great, of course, there are cronies in the army, and it will take a long time to untie such cronies one by one.
Yulin didn't speak, at this moment, she could only hope that time would pass slowly, slowly.
King Yanbei sent back the letter to Qingtang, and was naturally scolded by Emperor Qingtang. But after scolding, Emperor Qingtang thought about it, and still let his daughter go to Dayong! Two months later, when the lotus flowers fell all over the pond and the golden cinnamon began to float fragrant, the car of Princess Yanning of Qingtang came to Dayongjing.
This princess, in the name of coming to Dayong, the officials along the way did not dare to slack off, after coming to the capital, the princess of Qin went out of the city to greet, when she saw the princess of Qin, Princess Yanning smiled: "The princess of Qin is really beautiful, my brother will never forget you!" ”
Her brother? Princess Qin Guo thought about it, and couldn't remember when she had seen her brother, Princess Yanning had already smiled: "Princess Qin Guo doesn't remember?" Ten years ago, Qingtang also had an embassy coming, and at that time, my brother had pretended to be an entourage and had met the princess once. ”
Ten years ago? The princess of Qin couldn't help frowning, what did these people do to eat, the dignified prince of Qingtang pretended to be an entourage and followed the envoy, but they didn't even notice it. Then Princess Qin's eyebrows were loosened, and she smiled at Princess Yanning: "We don't know about this matter, otherwise, we should do our best to fulfill the righteousness of the landlord!" ”
"Well, my brother said to me after I went back, Dayong, it is really prosperous and rich, compared to it, Qingtang is much worse!" Princess Yanning and Princess Qin spoke affectionately, and both of them seemed to smile very gently, but neither of them regarded each other as friends, and they would not be friends!
The car had stopped, and the princess of Qin looked outside: "The princess lives here these days, if you want to travel anywhere, send someone to me!" Princess Yanning also smiled: "I don't know when I will be able to meet the prince of your country?" ”
The princess of Qin was a little unaccustomed to asking these questions so frankly, but she still replied: "When it is time to see it, the princess can naturally see it!" ”
Princess Yanning touched the hair hanging from her ears: "Well, I just think that there are few girls in the world who are more beautiful than me!" "The words of Princess Qin at the banquet will definitely reach the ears of Princess Yanning, she is from a noble background and is very beautiful, and Princess Yanning is so strong.
Princess Qin looked at Princess Yanning, and Princess Yanning also generously let her look, this girl has always been vigorous vitality, and it is really difficult to guarantee that the prince will take a fancy to her. However, I will completely extinguish this point.
The princess of Qin Guo thought about it and walked out of the car first: "The princess is indeed the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life!" The smugness on Princess Yanning's face had not yet been revealed, and the princess of Qin State had already said softly: "But there is still a sentence in our country, Israel serves people, how long can it be good, the princess will not be like this!" ”
Princess Yanning's face changed, but she soon smiled: "It turns out that the princess of Qin is not only very beautiful, but also understands a lot of truths, in the future, I will definitely ask the princess of Qin more for advice!" ”
"The banquets are too frequent these days!" Liu Jinsong changed his shirt and began to complain when he picked up the tea.
"Don't worry, Princess Hengzhu Yanning won't take a fancy to you!" Yulin couldn't help but make fun of it, Liu Jinsong slapped his forehead with his hand, since Princess Yanning arrived in Beijing, Princess Qin was in charge of reception, and she often called many beautiful young men to participate in banquets. Who can't see this beautiful man's plan?
Hearing his wife say this at this time, Liu Jinsong sighed: "If it is another woman, I am afraid that I will obey." But this Princess Yanning, since Emperor Qingtang can confidently send her to be the crown princess, she must have received many different upbringings! ”
Dayong is prosperous and rich, and Dayong's harem is not so easy to treat. Identity alone is not enough. And Emperor Qingtang thought that there would only be more than his daughter becoming the empress, not less.
Yulin sighed lightly, sacrificing a daughter for the sake of power, this is almost a matter of blinking for the emperor. Emperor Dayong is like this, and Emperor Qingtang is the same. Liu Jinsong had already pulled his wife's hand over: "You don't need to worry, your father treats you differently!" ”
Yu Lin hummed and didn't speak, and then raised her head: "Tomorrow, the crown princess will summon me!" "You can't let Princess Yanning only attend these banquets, she and the crown prince will meet after all.
Liu Jinsong didn't speak, the crown princess, it is inevitable that she will be in a hurry, this is not a matter of reputation, what follows behind her is the fate of the family. At this time, it is impossible not to fight or grab.
The garden of the East Palace is only a little smaller than the garden of the Imperial Palace, and under the osmanthus tree, the fragrance of flowers fills the nose. Yulin looked at the crown princess Hu Shi who was sitting above, and could detect the anxiety she couldn't hide, but at this time, it seemed a bit too much to say comfort, and she just said softly: "This garden is getting more and more beautiful!" ”
"The prince also likes it very much, and he specially asked people to plant maple trees, saying that the autumn frost leaves are redder than the February flowers. I can still see it this year, but I'm afraid that next year, I won't be able to see it! Hu's voice was very soft, and Yulin's eyebrows frowned slightly and said, "Why did the crown princess say this?" The crown prince, Bixia, and even the princess of Qin are all giving advice to the crown princess. The crown princess can't be messy at the moment, if it's messy, she will fall into the hands of others! ”
"Tomorrow, Princess Yanning will go to the banquet! Princess Yongle, I know I shouldn't panic, but sometimes, there are some things that I can't help me! Hu's voice tried to stay calm, but it still revealed some inner emotions, which made Yu Lin's brows frown slightly, and then Yu Lin said: "The crown princess should believe in herself and the prince, otherwise, it will only make others laugh!" ”
Hu Shi stood up, looked at the red maple leaf not far away, and then said softly: "Yesterday, I went to see the queen mother. The queen mother's body is getting worse and worse. She is also the wife of her father! "But so what, if the emperor says a word, she will recuperate in the palace, let alone a daughter-in-law? For the royal family, power always prevails above all else.
"The crown princess and the queen mother are different!" Then Yulin whispered again: "Uncle treats aunt well, not just the prince, the crown princess, the eldest grandson, this year is not yet a year old!" The meaning of these words couldn't be clearer, Hu's eyes flashed fiercely, for the sake of his son, he can't retreat, otherwise, he will change from the eldest son to the eldest son, and he is the eldest son, and he doesn't know if he can save his life.
Lou Zhaojun, that is the son and daughter are all adults, and they have been the mother for a long time, Princess Rouran can't help her, herself, but there is no such honor guard. Hu Shi looked at the maple leaves that were gradually turning red in the distance, and tomorrow's banquet naturally couldn't show half of his timidity.
There are not many people who can come to the banquet in the East Palace. It's just a few princesses and princesses, the prince and the princess are the masters, sitting above, Princess Yanning is the most important guest, sitting under the prince, Princess Qin Guo sits under the princess, and Yulin and others in turn.
Princess Yanning is dressed more beautifully today than before, that kind of beauty is so dazzling, and the crown princess above the pressure is also a little inferior. The smile on the crown princess's face did not change, and she still spoke softly to Princess Yanning, Princess Yanning also answered one by one, and smiled at the crown princess: "These days, I have traveled to many places in the capital of your country, and it turns out that Dayong is really different from Qingtang." Even Dayong has a lot of beautiful men. However, I remember that the princess of Qin Guo said, how long can you get it? ”
"Princess Yanning has a good memory, I did say this!" Princess Qin Guo held the wine glass and said softly: "I haven't met many people who can be taught like Princess Yanning!" Princess Yanning smiled, and then looked at the prince: "So, His Royal Highness the prince, are there any Israelites in your palace?" ”
Today's banquet, so why the prince came is known, and such a bright girl, it is inevitable that people will take a few more looks, at this time hearing Princess Yanning ask, the prince couldn't help but smile: "The concubine serves the emperor, and she should be virtuous rather than sexual!" ”
"Oh, Your Highness the Prince, I understand what you mean by that! It seems that the virtue of the princess must be very good! Princess Yanning's eyes flowed, and she said to Hu with a smile, Hu had to clench his fists to suppress the anger in his heart, and then Hu said to the prince: "The women in the palace not only have both ability and political integrity, but also are beautiful and beautiful, prince, you can't help but take these things too seriously!" ”
There was anger in his voice, which was a common tone used by loving couples, and the prince also smiled: "In this way, I said it wrong, then I will punish myself!" After saying that, the prince drank the wine in the cup. Hu Shi looked at the prince with a smile, and looked very proud of his husband.
Princess Yanning groaned, and was about to attack again, when an attendant came over to report: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Director Xu has come back from outside, and he is asking to see the prince at this moment!" Although there were beauties at the table, this witty dialogue made the prince a little unbearable, and just as he was about to get up and go out to summon him, Princess Yanning smiled and said, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to take advantage of this to escape from the table?" ”
"The rules of Dayong and the rules of Qingtang are different, there are differences between men and women! Director Xu is a foreign minister, so naturally it is not easy to come in! Although she knew that Princess Yanning was deliberate, Princess Qin Guo also had to explain with a smile, and Princess Yanning sighed: "I forgot, it's just ......"
"In that case, let's summon Master Xu in!" The prince interrupted Princess Yanning's words and gave an order to the chamberlain!
Yulin did not ignore the smile that flashed across the face of the princess of Qin when the crown prince summoned Xu Zhi'an. Xu Zhi'an is twenty-three years old this year, he is no longer the sixteen-year-old immature boy in the past, he can be said to be both talented and beautiful, I don't know how many people in the capital want to recruit him as a son-in-law. Could it be that my sister's idea is to ask him?
Thinking about it, Yulin looked at Princess Yanning, Princess Yanning's smile was still sweet, seeing Yulin's eyes, Princess Yanning raised her glass to Yulin after a deep groan: "When I first came to the capital, I heard of Princess Yongle, and when I saw it for the first time today, I only felt very kind!" ”
"The princess has been in the capital for a few days, and I can't accompany the princess to enjoy the friendship of the landlord because of a lot of family affairs, and I hope the princess is not strange!" Yulin also said polite words to Princess Yanning, and at today's banquet, it can be seen that this princess knows a lot about Dayong's situation!
The author has something to say: write about politics or something...... But it was set to write ......
