Chapter 197: The Big Wedding (1)
In this turbulent Gyeonggi, all forces are ready to move, and King Liang is no exception, especially today, the appearance of King Qi and King Jing makes him even more upset.
originally thought that except for a King Xiang and a King Rui, no one would be able to compete with him for the supreme position, but now a King Qi has popped up.
He still underestimated King Qi after all, but he didn't expect that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger all these years, pretending to be obedient! Some of King Rui's power was pocketed by him, but there were also some people who joined King Qi's command.
Especially in recent days, Emperor Chengwu has become more and more dependent on King Qi, which has shaken the position of the ministers in the court.
Not to mention those who were originally King Xiang and King Rui, he was destined to not be able to fully trust them here, after all, they were on the other side and hostile to him in the first place.
But he will never show it, but some people inevitably have different hearts.
Not only is King Qi like a fish in water in the court, with infinite scenery, but King Jing also seems to be a different person now.
Originally, he acted arbitrarily and recklessly, and he didn't pay attention to what Emperor Cheng Wu said, and to tell the truth, he was the only one in the Great Jin Dynasty who ignored what Emperor Cheng Wu said. And now, his style of acting has also changed, and he will also express his opinions in the court, let alone work against Emperor Chengwu, and gradually penetrate into the court.
If King Jing quietly ignored the affairs of the imperial court, King Liang might have spared him for a while, and would not have eliminated him so quickly. But now compared to King Qi, who is gradually rising, King Jing, who has been favored by Emperor Chengwu from the beginning, is more threatening.
There is no doubt about that.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, King Liang would never allow what he had been planning for a long time to go down the drain like this. So, he didn't get his hands on it very quickly......
However, what he didn't expect was that the people he sent out did not come back without exception.
How is this possible, the people he sent out are already masters of the Liang Palace, it is impossible that he can't even take a King Jing, or what happened in the middle.
In other words, King Jing was never as simple as he thought.
Suddenly, King Liang realized that King Xiang sent people to hunt down King Jing, but King Jing was rescued by Xin Yan's men and horses, could it be that the relationship between Xin Yan and Song Ming was not as simple as it seemed on the surface?
Or is Xin Yan already in harmony with Song Ming?
If this is the case, it is even more impossible for him to let Song Ming go, and all possibilities must be stifled between his rise......
It's just that he can't act recklessly, otherwise he will be caught, and it will be over at that time.
The hatred in King Liang's eyes deepened and deepened, why? Why is it so difficult for him to ask for anything, everything is something he has worked hard for, but Song Ming doesn't have to do anything, he doesn't have to pay anything, he can get it.
Whether it is the preference of Emperor Chengwu, or the support of the Yan family, or other ...... It's all he tried so hard but couldn't get it......
The jealousy in his heart grew wildly, and every time he saw Song Ming, the unwillingness, the resentment increased by one point.
I still remember when I was a child, he didn't know how much effort he put into Emperor Chengwu's praise, he wanted to become an excellent son in the eyes of Emperor Chengwu, and he also wanted to be a son who could be remembered by him......
But whether it is riding and shooting, academics, poetry and songs, he knows everything, and he is also the pride of his mother's heart. Only when he became the first place, his father would look at him squarely and praise him with his father's ear.
However, once he lost those, it was equivalent to losing the attention of his father, and the only thing that made him less sad was that his father did the same to his other sons, except for one person - Song Ming.
The son who was born to a woman who was loved by his father, he almost blocked his father's gaze from seeing them, as long as he was there, there would never be these sons in his father's eyes, no matter who it was, as long as he ran into Song Ming, it would never be him who was wrong.
He once thought that he was the pride of his father and looked down on Song Ming. So he deliberately went to find trouble with Song Ming, he wanted to prove that in his father's heart, she was definitely more important than Song Ming.
But only that time made him truly understand what despair is, what is called "nothing"!
His father reprimanded him mercilessly, punished him, and made him lose his dignity in front of everyone. Now that he thinks about it, he has long forgotten the physical pain he suffered at that time, but he has never forgotten his father's emotionless eyes.
It wasn't like looking into his own son's eyes like looking at a stranger......
The physical pain was forgotten...... But the wound in my heart can never be forgotten.
Perhaps it was from that moment that he knew that these sons of theirs were nothing in the eyes of their father.
Only power, only by standing in that highest position, can you not be ignored......
At this point, he strengthened and built a wall with a smile, so that others would not peep into his true thoughts, nor would others have the opportunity to look down on him.
He slowly expanded his power and slowly came to this point. I don't know how many open guns and dark arrows he has dodged, he will never fall down at this time. He won't lose to Song Ming! He's definitely not going to lose!
King Liang let go of his flustered heart. Readjusting, facing others, it is still the same harmless appearance of humans and animals, on this festive day, under the background of the candle flame and the moonlight, it seems to be a lot of demonic ......
The young ladies who witnessed this scene secretly agreed.
"His Royal Highness King Liang is really extraordinary......"
"Yes, although today is the day for His Royal Highness King Qi to marry the side concubine, His Royal Highness King Liang's demeanor is not inferior at all."
"I see, you are secretly promising His Royal Highness, or it is good to accept this thought, how can you say that His Royal Highness King Liang has already married a wife, and the identity of the princess is not comparable to you."
The man choked up, and his face suddenly turned bad.
They just came out of feeling, and even if she really had thoughts about His Royal Highness King Liang, she wouldn't say it at this time, and no matter how she said it, it would be in public,......
She can say this, it means that she doesn't have that kind of mind for His Royal Highness King Liang, not to mention that she also knows her family identity, which is absolutely unattainable.
However, when she said this, she really had that thought: "You think too much, I admire His Royal Highness King Liang, and I also respect Princess Liang, don't say something that will make people misunderstand." ”
After speaking, he didn't look at her, as if he was snubbed.
These young ladies are in the minority, and most of them maintain their friendship on the surface, and besides, they pay attention to status and will not communicate with people who do not match their status.
What this person said just now was unpleasant, and these young ladies were even more "enemies" with that young lady, so all of a sudden, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing.
The woman who spoke disrespectfully regretted why she said those words, but at this time she bowed her head and had no face, so she could only hold on.
Fortunately, those women were not scheming women, and they didn't fall into the stone against her after refutation.
Instead, a few people "chatted", of course, did not bring the woman who was left out. How to say that they were ridiculed by others just now, so easy to forgive is not something to look down on, they are not so stupid.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. That's how she spoke. The person who spoke was a woman with two pear vortices on her face when she smiled, sweet and cute. She is the daughter of Tong Daren, a student in the Hanlin Academy, Tong Shuhui.
And the woman she was referring to was also related to her, but the relationship between the two was average.
"Yes! Don't be angry. At this time, it was Shi Jiayu, the daughter of Master Shi of Shangshu Dushi, who comforted her.
Where could Liu Baixue not know, and follow the words of the two of them......
For the daughters of these eunuchs, the marriage is the order of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker are not the kind of people who can make their own decisions, nor can they marry him if they have the person they want in their hearts.
Not to mention those young masters of the family, the matter of marriage is also the right one.
"For the sake of the two of you, I don't care about Deng Qiuyue anymore, it's just that ah, she will one day be defeated in her mouth." Liu Baixue glanced at Deng Qiuyue and said.
"Alas, isn't she spoiled, thinking that she is still at home, and everyone has to let her. Don't look at what kind of place this is, if you provoke a nobleman, she really suffers. Forget it, let's not talk about her. Tong Shuhui said helplessly.
"Speaking of which, why did King Qi's marriage be set in such a hurry, I was really shocked when I heard it." Shi Jiayu asked.
Liu Baixue pondered: "How do we know this, after all, it is also a gift from the emperor." I have also seen Miss Chang, and it is also a match for His Royal Highness King Qi. ”
Then she looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so she lowered her voice and said: "If you want me to say, this Chang Ruan is the daughter of Marquis Ning Yuan, and she is noble, even if she is the concubine of His Royal Highness King Qi, it is not impossible...... It's a pity. "It's a pity that King Qi already has a concubine, which is an impossible fact.
"I don't think it's anything, I've seen Princess Qi from afar before, and I think she's a good person to get along with......," Tong Shuhui said.
Shi Jiayu gave Tong Shuhui your too innocent look: "How can you see this, you don't know your heart." The previous King of Qi only married Princess Qi, and there was not even a concubine in the backyard, but now there is another woman, where is this kind of thing accurate. ”
For those things in the backyard, these young ladies are not ignorant.
Their father is not only one lady, the more women there are, the more thoughts they have, and the backyard is naturally not peaceful......
Two women compete for a man, this kind of drama is also seen a lot, no matter how virtuous a woman is, after a long time, she will always be jealous......
If you are jealous, you will naturally get into trouble......
"Besides, this Miss Chang is still from the family of military generals, and her identity is on par with Princess Qi...... "People who all die in the same class, it will be so easy to show weakness."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and they just talked about this kind of thing, and it was not their turn to care about it no matter what.
At this time, the topics that women talk about are naturally inseparable from gossip or novelties.
quickly changed the topic: "By the way, I remember that this Miss Chang is still a friend of the county lord of Shanghua, and today Miss Chang is married, this county lord of Shanghua should come over." The last time Shanghua County hosted a banquet for guests, if it hadn't been for me, ...... I was unwell," otherwise, she would have to take a good look at what kind of grace this woman who is famous throughout the Great Jin Dynasty.
Hearing Shi Jiayu say this, Tong Shuhui said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you didn't participate in the previous banquets, and you really haven't seen Lord Shanghua." ”
Speaking of Xin Yan, Tong Shuhui seems to have a lot to say: "Speaking of which, the county lord of Shanghua is really different from the other women I have seen, even the temperament of the surrounding body is different from that of other county lords and princesses, and she does not look high at all, although she looks cold, but ah, since the last time she scolded Princess Shuyi and had nothing to say, I have changed my opinion of her!" ”
"It's a pity, I didn't see it last time, I really want to see Princess Shuyi's iron face." Shi Jiayu looked sorry and lowered her voice: "That scene must be very exciting." ”
After finishing speaking, the three of them laughed lightly, to be honest, they didn't like Princess Shuyi in the first place, but Princess Shuyi was too good at "making things difficult", and there was no room for people at all, and they were not ridiculed by Shuyi, so it was inevitable that there would be this performance.
