Chapter Sixty-Nine: Seeing the Money
Seeing that I didn't speak, Fuxiang and Xu Rongchan didn't speak, the eighth prince seemed to have an appetite and ate happily.
Since it was to this point, the words were clear, and it was better than guessing by myself, I said: "So, the Queen Mother supports His Royal Highness King Yu?" β
Xu Rongchan seemed to expect me to ask such a question, and answered the question: "The Queen Mother has pity on His Royal Highness King Yu and His Eighth Highness who lost their mother at a young age. β
Have mercy on them? I'm afraid I think they're easy to control.
Now the Qin family is the dominant family in Beijing, it is estimated that many families are red-eyed, when the emperor was there, the queen mother's mother Lu family is also like this Qin family, which is the existence of covering the sky with one hand, and now it is squeezed enough, if you secretly support a prince, cultivate a loyal king, and balance the Qin family at the same time, you can also please Your Majesty.
King Yu's mother died early, and he had no backer and had a dislike with Concubine Xian, so it was most appropriate to use him to bring down the Qin family. Because according to the ancestral system, King Yu must stay away from the imperial capital and go to the fiefdom for a maximum of three years, and then the most powerful family in the imperial capital will be the Lu family.
If the Qin family is not overthrown, after the prince ascends the throne, he will also find An Chengyan, the left and right are brothers, the prince can't be a killer if he wants to be a virtuous monarch, and the Lu family will continue to mess around at most, but the impact is not great.
An Chengyan, can you really let them use it obediently?
I suddenly felt a clear feeling in my heart, and my eyes were also murderous when I looked at Fuxiang: "Father-in-law Fuxiang, did His Royal Highness King Yu really knock on the door of the General's Mansion 'coincidentally'?" β
How could it be such a coincidence that he went to knock on the door and was seen by his father? Although the General's Mansion is not as impregnable as the imperial palace, it is also heavily guarded, how can a child easily get close to his father?
Fuxiang's eyes were first surprised and then admired when he heard this, and he lowered his hand and said: "The princess is smart, but it is designed." β
"An Chengyan designed?"
"At that time, the little lady was seriously injured, and Her Highness was also cornered." Fuxiang seemed to be recalling the situation back then, and his eyes flashed with tears, "If you rashly go to the palace to recognize your relatives, you will be beaten to death by a stick before you reach the palace gate, and His Royal Highness King Yu does not have a token from His Majesty, just with a similar face, who will believe him?" β
"So find someone who is reliable." This person must not only have a reliable character, but also be deeply trusted by the saint to be able to speak in front of the saint, isn't Daddy the most suitable candidate?
"Exactly, Lord Hou is an upright person and a king, and he will never see the royal bloodline persecuted......"
Xu Rongchan was also a little moved: "His Royal Highness King Yu was indeed criticized when he returned to the palace, if he didn't look exactly like His Majesty when he was a child, I'm afraid he really wouldn't be able to come back." β
I only felt a chill, how old was An Chengyan at that time, and he had such a heavy scheming? The most dangerous place is the safest place, and it is also persecuted, and it is better to be in the palace than to die outside the palace......
Looking back again, I sympathized with him a little, the princes next to him were all dressed in fine clothes, but he even lived was a luxury, even if he returned to the palace? To this day, I am also living a frightened life.
I suddenly remembered the words of Qin Xiang and Qin Yunwan, and said, "It's not good, His Royal Highness King Yu and Mo Qingzhi are in danger!" β
Hearing this, Fuxiang knelt down to me and made a big salute, and I hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Father-in-law Fuxiang, what are you doing?" β
"Slave Miss Xie Si thinks about His Highness." At this time, he called me the fourth lady but not the princess, I knew that he recognized me in his heart, and he said earnestly, "Your Highness is in trouble, and the slave is worried and wants to leave for Lingshui County immediately, and ask the fourth lady to take care of His Royal Highness." β
The eighth prince watched Fuxiang's every move, as if he thought of something, walked up to me, and knelt down, and was pulled up by me, he is the prince, he kneels to me? Xu Rongchan is still watching!
I said, "Since I am the fiancΓ©e of His Royal Highness King Yu and his brother, I will protect him with all my might. β
Fu Xiangfang got up, and Xu Rongchan's eyes changed a lot when she looked at me.
After noon, the sun was also a little scorching, Panlong Temple was still crowded, Sun Shengnan had not been able to hang the red silk on the Lianli tree before, and he was clamoring to go.
I don't have any interest, but she has to go, the sister-in-law was not invited to send the son Guanyin a little lost, I thought about coming, all should take her to relax, and the group went to the back mountain.
The place where Panlong Temple was built is really a treasure of feng shui.
Although this Panlong Mountain is not high, it has a full view of the scenery of the imperial capital, especially the peak where the Lianli tree is located, and when you are in it, you can see the milky white sea of clouds tumbling down the mountain like a waterfall, which is really dreamlike.
The two linden trees were located at the highest point, separated at the base, but they were united at the height of one person, and the branches of the two trees interspersed with each other to form a huge canopy, gazing at the mountains like a loving couple.
It's really a tree.
The tree was covered with red silk, and many pilgrims held the red silk in their hands under the tree, and some of them found a branch to tie it, and more of them struggled to throw the red silk towards the canopy, which was so light that it was often tossed three or four times, and if it was thrown to a high place, it would win a burst of cheers.
The eighth prince had woken up, still riding on Fuxiang's neck, watching people throw silk for fun, and he was going to throw it, so Sun Shengnan asked the monk for a piece of red silk for him.
There is a pavilion next to the tree, which is equipped with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which is specially used for people to write their wishes on the red silk.
I saw the Eighth Prince's pen wandering and writing: May my mother and An Chengyan be united forever.
I:......
Fuxiang hurriedly put away the silk and said in a sharp voice: "Oh, little master, this mother corresponds to Daddy......"
Before the words fell, the eighth prince suddenly wrote: May my mother and father be united forever.
I:......
Fuxiang raised his forehead and said: "Little master, this An Chengyan corresponds to You Zimo......"
The Eighth Prince was a little impatient and wrote: May An Chengyan and You Zimo be married forever......
Before he finished writing, Fuxiang stopped him and said, "Little master, it's better to avoid this royal name, why don't you write about your brother and sister-in-law?" β
The eighth prince snorted and shook off his pen and stopped writing.
Fuxiang hurriedly laughed and coaxed him, and Sun Shengnan also said: "Just write a word, how can you say so much, let him write whatever he wants." β
I heard a sincere voice say, "This young lady doesn't know how to write?" How about writing it in the next generation? β
Hearing the sound, a young man with handsome eyebrows and eyes and a lofty instrument stood in the wind, dressed in a moon-white robe quite elegant, he saluted Sun Shengnan with a smile, and five or six gold rings sparkled on his two hands.
Isn't it my second brother who sees money? When did you become so helpful?
Sun Shengnan didn't seem to be used to being accosted by beautiful men, and said with a red face: "That...... Isn't that a troublesome boy? β
The second brother smiled when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with the familiar light of calculation, and said, "Don't bother, Miss only needs to pay a penny." β
β¦β¦ I'll just say it.
Sun Shengnan was surprised: "Why do you still need money?" β
The second brother was also surprised: "How can you not have money?" β
Sun Shengnan said: "You want to write it for me yourself?" β
The second brother disagreed: "No, I want to write on behalf of Miss below." β
"What's the difference?"
"Helping is a gratuitous act, and substitution is a paid act. Furthermore, this Buddhist wish is the lady's own behavior, the lady can't write, she must find someone to write on her behalf, and she must be paid. β
"Why?"
"Miss made her own wish, if you ask someone else to help write without payment, it will become someone else's wish, if Miss pays it, it is still her own wish." The second brother concluded: "It is only natural for the next generation of young ladies to write, pay for labor, and young ladies to give remuneration. β
Sun Shengnan was obviously dizzy, and he was about to take out the silver, but he thought about it and said, "No, I can write!" β
He glanced at the Eighth Prince again and said, "And he is the one who wants to make a wish!" β
The second brother also glanced at the eighth prince, and when he saw that it was a man, he lost interest, and said to Sun Shengnan: "This young lady, do you want to throw red silk on the tree?" If you work on behalf of the next tree, half a tree is half a tael of silver, and the highest is a tael of silver, and the lady can also specify which branch, but this price must also be calculated separately. β
Sun Shengnan: ......
I:......
The sister-in-law had already written at this time and came out with the silk, and when she saw the second brother, she was surprised: "Second brother! Have you arrived at the Imperial Palace? Why didn't you know that it would be a sound? β
The second brother saw that the sister-in-law was busy saluting, and my eyes were shaken by his golden ring, and he said: "Hello sister-in-law, I haven't entered the city yet, and I saw that the incense in this temple is vigorous, so I came to understand the customs and customs of the imperial capital, and make some small money by the way." β
β¦β¦ How short of money are you, the new richest man in Biluo City? Is it embarrassing to lie to the little girl everywhere?
The sister-in-law smiled: "It's just right, go back with us, what is my sister doing there?" "Wave to me and let me pass.
I said, "I wanted to see when the second brother would recognize me." "To be honest, I was very afraid of meeting acquaintances, and I didn't dare to bear the expressions of surprise or fear or sympathy when they saw my changed appearance.
The second brother didn't react much when he saw me, he just raised his hand full of gold rings: "Brother Dugu, my fourth sister who has captivated the country and the city is here, come here!" β
Second brother, don't you see the eyes of the people around you, they are saying that you are blind......
After a while, a young man came through the bustling crowd, the man looked like a jade, and said with a smile: "I've seen the fourth miss." β
Fuxiang hurriedly said: "Isn't this a coincidence, the princess is the doctor who just relieved the siege for Xiao." β
Oh? What a coincidence.
The man didn't care and said, "I just know a little bit about the art of Qihuang, and it's just that I'm not even." β
I just felt familiar with him, and said, "This son, have we met somewhere?" β
Everyone gasped, and my sister-in-law twisted me and whispered, "My sister has a marriage contract, don't talk to a man." β
She added: "This way of accosting is a bit old-fashioned. β
I said, "I didn't talk to him, I really think I've seen him somewhere." β
Sun Shengnan said: "Where is it?" β
I couldn't say it, but said, "In a dream." β
Everyone knows you're talking.
The second brother said: "I feel that familiarity is inevitable, and we are still cousins." β
Everyone and I were at a loss.
The man said: "In Xia Dugu Che, my father is Dugu Changming, and he has a younger sister named Dugu Qingqing." β
