Chapter 43: The King

"Miss, are you alright?" Softly asked worriedly.

At the temple just now, the young lady waved everyone away, and even she was called out.

It didn't take long for the young lady to come out, her face pale, as if she had been hit hard.

This made Qingrou not worry, and she hurriedly helped her master to walk into the yard.

"Gentle, you go and find out, how did the three close maids and daughters-in-law who were close to my mother at that time died, quickly, and the people and family members close to them should find out for me!"

Gently responded, and after sending Qu Miaoling back to the house, he immediately started to investigate.

It's just that more than ten years have passed, and the original people have long since died, and their families have moved out of their current residences, so there is no way to find out.

Another few days passed, and when Qu Miaoling asked about the results, she shook her head softly, indicating that she was still continuing to investigate.

Qu Miaoling naturally knew that this matter was not so simple, she sighed, and asked Qingrou not to relax the investigation.

Gentle should be.

In the blink of an eye, Situ Huaili's Prince's Mansion was completed.

Soon, on the first day of moving into the prince's mansion, it was rumored in the palace that the eldest princess Wang Qiong was pregnant for 2 months.

Let's say that this Wang Qiong, who was originally the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, has been married to Prince Jing for two years, and it has not been rumored that she is pregnant, so that the emperor has the heart to give his son another concubine.

At this moment, the emperor was even happier, rewarded a lot of rewards, not to mention, but also specially gave gifts to express the joy of housewarming, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to start holding a housewarming banquet.

For a time, Prince Jing's Mansion was in the limelight.

Situ Huaibo took the people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry to handle it, and built the first prince's mansion of the Daling Dynasty with extraordinary majesty and luxury.

Qu Miaoling entered the palace one day, passed by Prince Jing's mansion, looked at the tall mansion, the majestic stone lion at the door, she put down the curtain, and went to the palace to watch a play with Princess Situ Chasing the Moon.

The palace was completed, and the emperor's edict was passed down.

After the eldest prince shouted "Long live my father, long live, long live", he received the holy decree.

It didn't take long for him to move to Prince Jing's mansion.

According to the regulations, the prince can have a wife, two concubines, four Liangdi, eight widows, plus several concubines.

But the eldest prince is in love, and when he and the eldest princess are in love, there are only two intercourse rooms in the house that he was forced to accept before the wedding.

There was an endless stream of visitors to Prince Jing's mansion, and the ministers were secretly thinking about the emperor's intentions in the study at home.

Before, the second prince and the third prince successively crowned the county king, and it stands to reason that according to the elder and youngest, the eldest prince should also be crowned the county king, but the reality is that the eldest prince is still the eldest prince.

They thought that this was the emperor's attitude, he was telling the eldest prince, telling the ministers, and telling the world that the eldest prince would not be able to take the throne in this life.

After all, the eldest prince was born weak and had constant minor illnesses, and such a person, no matter how loved by the people and talented, was not the material of the king.

Those who originally intended to form an alliance with the eldest prince joined his family and turned to the other two county kings, or the princes who were not crowned county kings.

But now, with the emperor's order, some things have changed.

Everyone is thinking about their future path, how should they choose their own backer? The eldest prince was crowned the prince, which changed the direction of the situation in the capital in an instant.

Some people are watching, some people are cowering at home.

The courtiers were flustered, and the princes had their own thoughts.

Situ Huaibo sat quietly in the study of the mansion, he stared at the map of the rivers and mountains not far away, and his eyes flashed with determination.

Then he got up, "Someone, prepare the horse!" ”

When he is in a bad mood, Situ Huaibo's favorite thing is to run a horse.

And on Situ Huai's side, he was busy practicing calligraphy, but he was entangled by Situ Huaiyong.

"Third brother, don't you write, can you still practice flowers by writing this word again?" Situ Huaiyong made trouble, and the king was helpless, "Sixth brother, what are you going to do?" ”

"Third brother, can you have a sense of urgency? The eldest brother has already been crowned the prince, and you are still a small county king, so you are not in a hurry? I heard that Situ Huaibo ran to Prince Jing's mansion a lot during this time! ”

Situ Huaiyong was impatient.

The king raised his eyebrows, his face full of "So what?" ”

"My good third brother, can't you have a sense of urgency? I know you have no intention of taking the throne, but if you don't fight, naturally others will fight, have you ever thought about it, if Situ Huaibo ascends to that position, what will happen to you? What happens to the people you value? ”

Situ Huai Yong spoke bitterly.

Situ Huai decided to put down the brush, he glanced at the sixth brother, and stroked the soft hair on his head.

"Children, think so much, be careful not to grow tall!"

Situ Huaiyong was almost angry with the third brother who didn't know how to make progress, and he left the palace with a "snort".

Looking at the back of the sixth brother gradually moving away, Situ Huai's light face changed.

Situ Huaibo has always been at odds with him, if he is really-

That Huai Yong, and Qu Miaoling-

No, what does it have to do with Qu Miaoling!

Situ Huaizhu shook his head slightly, trying to shake the woman out of his head, but he failed.

So he got up and went out and walked around the yard.

However, if the eldest brother really succeeds to the throne, it will not be bad, at least, he will honestly be an idle prince in the future, and the eldest brother will not kill him.

If it was Situ Huaibo, it would be different.

After Wen Qingqian's father was sealed, on this day, Wen Hongzhi came to Wudehou's mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, he was warmly welcomed by Wu Dehou.

"Big brother."

Wu Dehou's "big brother" shouted affectionately, as if it was not him who called Wen Hongzhi's name in the past.

In this regard, Wen Hongzhi accepted it, and when Wu Dehou invited him to sit on the top, he was not polite and sat down.

And Wu Dehou was originally polite and polite, but after Wen Hongzhi was promoted, he was so arrogant, he secretly gritted his teeth, and did it below.

Wen Rou naturally watched the competition between her brother and her husband, but she was a woman's family, so it was inconvenient to say anything.

She gave her brother a look, but the other party ignored him.

She was also a little embarrassed.

And Wu Dehou was also relieved after a moment of mustard, this Wen Hongzhi's promotion was beneficial to him, and it was better than his rival's promotion to make a fortune.

Thinking like this, Wu Dehou took the initiative to talk: "I don't know what is the important matter for the eldest brother to come this time?" ”

Wen Hongzhi smiled when he heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand, and said to Wu Dehou: "Speaking of this, it's still the eldest brother, let Qing Qian bother in the mansion for a long time." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wen immediately understood that Wen Hongzhi was going to take Wen Qingqian away.

"Big brother, what are you talking about, in the end, Qingqian is also my niece, she lives in my house, it's too late for me to be happy, where will I dislike it."

"Yes, big brother, I am shallow and filial, I am like an intimate little padded jacket, so happy!"

The smile on Bunhiro's face remained unchanged.

At this time, Wen said to Tao Lei with a very good eye: "Why don't you go and call Miss Biao, the eldest brother hasn't seen Qing Qian for a long time, he should miss it very much!" ”

Tao Lei should be "yes" and hurried to Wen Qingqian's yard.

And Wen Qingqian learned of her father's arrival early on, she had already dressed herself, and today she was wearing a peachy pink shirt, which made her look even more lively and pretty.

When Wen Hongzhi saw his daughter, he almost couldn't control the old tears.

"Daddy!"

Wen Qingqian's shouting is also sincere.

Because it was really Wudehou Mansion, the two restrained their emotions and didn't hug each other.

"Since the eldest brother is here, let's finish eating over there and leave, and our family can get together."

Wu Dehou warmly invited, and Wen Hongzhi naturally responded.

At noon that day, the old lady and Qu Miaoling were also invited to have this family banquet together.

At the dinner table, Wu Dehou naturally praised Wen Hongzhi.

The two big men drank happily, and in the end, Wen Hongzhi was carried into the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wen Rou was holding Wen Qingqian's hand at the door, and her eyes were red.

"Qingqian, you must take good care of yourself when you return home, if there is anything unpleasant, you must come to your aunt, you know?"

Wen Qingqian whispered and said goodbye to the old lady.

Although her filial piety to the old lady is still calculating, in this Hou Mansion, in addition to Wen Rou, the old lady is quite considerate to her.

Therefore, before leaving, Wen Qingqian still said a lot of thoughtful words.

The old lady was not as emotional as Wen's, but looking at Wen Qingqian's eyes, there was also warmth in her eyes, she pulled Qu Miaoling over, put the sisters' hands together, and said in a soft voice: "You two sisters, and they are all your own family, don't leave your heart." ”

"Grandmother, Miao Ling (Qingqian) understands." The two of them said in unison.

In order to reassure the old lady, Qu Miaoling said: "Sister, have a safe journey." ”

"Sister, my grandmother is in poor health, and the medicine must not be stopped."

"Sister can save it, don't worry."

The two carriages and two carriages transporting things walked away, and the smile on Wu Dehou's face was instantly pulled down, and he threw his sleeves away.

Wen was shocked, and just as he was about to follow, he heard Wu Dehou Yin and Yang say strangely: "I hope that this person will get the Taoist chicken dog to ascend to heaven, and it won't happen in our Hou Mansion." ”

Wen understood that this was Wu Dehou beating himself.

It seems that her brother's actions today are annoying Hou Ye, she hurriedly greeted Wu Dehou with little intentions, and said all the good things, and Wu Dehou's expression was more relaxed.

At the door, Qu Miaoling supported the old lady's Buddhist hall, and on the way, she tried to dig deep into the old lady's memory, hoping to get useful clues, but it turned out to be in vain.

"I'm too old to remember!"

Qu Miaoling was disappointed, but she also knew that there was no way to do it.

After leaving the monastery, she returned to Wanzhen Temple.

Sitting in the wing room and thinking for a while, Qu Miaoling called softly, "How is the matter of the maid and the maid going?"

"Miss, I found some clues about the people who worked with them at the beginning, and I will continue to follow them up."

Qu Miaoling's eyes lit up instantly, this is an important clue, if it is done, maybe he can dig out something else.

"Gentle, you have sent more people to check recently, if there are not enough people, go to the eldest brother to ask for it, remember to check carefully."

"Gently understood."

Watching the gentle back disappear in Wanzhen Courtyard, Qu Miaoling couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, after checking for so long, she finally got this clue, she definitely couldn't let it run.

Absolutely not!

Staring at the sunny sky outside the door, Qu Miaoling's eyes flashed with determination.
