Chapter 17: Temptation
Teng Tianhao smiled when he saw their tangled expressions. He also knows a little about this fiancée, and she seems to be a little entangled with his brother. His eyes dimmed, "Don't worry, she's just a tool person, if she lives in peace, I naturally won't treat her badly, if so..."
Tian Zijue and Qian Ruoxue stopped speaking when they saw this, they knew that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not very old, he had a good chest, and he had a degree of calm advance and retreat in case of trouble, since the prince had already made arrangements for this fiancée, they would not say more.
Although Tian Zijue felt that this beautiful princess was really a good match for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in appearance, she was a rare pair of talented and beautiful people who killed him from the faction of the third prince, so they had to be more wary of her.
Qian Ruoxue continued to bite the chicken leg and said a little vaguely, "Tianhao, you said that the emperor married that little girl to you, what is your idea?" ”
"What's the idea?" Teng Tianhao turned the celadon tea cup on the table, and chuckled, "It's very simple, imperial power, balance." ”
Tian Zijue was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that the emperor wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince..."
Qian Ruoxue rarely became serious, "That's right, now most of the courtiers support the three princes except for the neutral faction, if the daughter of the left minister marries the crown prince, then the voice of the three princes will be greatly weakened." Then the court will revert to a two-sided confrontation or even a three-legged situation. ”
Teng Tianhao nodded, his face calm, "What my aunt said is good, but Lin Xun will most likely not be used by me, after all, I am just a cripple, Zuo Xiang will not put the treasure on my body, this marriage only divides Zuo Xiang and Teng Zixing, this is a dangerous move, my brother hates me at the same time, I am afraid that he also hates my father." ”
Qian Ruoxue turned her head to look around, and when she found that there was no one, she couldn't help but complain, "Your father is also really ruthless and scheming. ”
She is a person who has never been accustomed to calculating even her own blood relatives, such a person is too ruthless and cold-blooded.
Teng Tianhao smiled indifferently and changed the topic, "I'm used to it, I have lost your acupuncture skills to my aunt all these years, so that my father believes that I am really bad at it, otherwise my plan to hide from the world will be in vain." In the end, Teng Tianhao had a sincere smile in his eyes, and he also sighed with emotion, the world only said that the position of the prince was infinite, and no one saw that he had to pretend to be lame with the help of Miao Jiang acupuncture in order to save his life.
Qian Ruoxue is Teng Tianhao's aunt, only a few years older than Teng Tianhao, and she is well versed in pharmacology and proper maintenance, so she looks like Teng Tianhao's sister. Teng Tianhao's maternal grandmother Lao Beng Huaizhu, cough cough, she is old and has a daughter, and it hurts to this little girl in her bones, and she is obedient to her.
Qian Ruoxue's childhood was not like other daughters of powerful people, she was raised in the deep boudoir to learn floral tea ceremony, female red embroidery, she loved the principle of medicine and stone, the way of acupuncture. Teng Tianhao's grandmother let her pursue what she liked, and even invited Miao Jiang Divine Doctor Wen Que to teach her the art of medicine.
When Qian Ruoxue was a teenager, she followed her master to practice medicine everywhere, treating diseases and saving people. And Qianfu announced to the outside world that Qian Ruoxue was weak and inconvenient to see people, and it has been hidden in the snow until today. Kyoto only knows that there are two young ladies in Qianfu, and the eldest lady has become the queen mother in Kyoto, but the second lady has never appeared in front of the world.
Qianfu was originally the founder of the country, and most of the children of this lineage entered the court as officials, or entered the palace as concubines, and were the real nobles of the Daqi Dynasty. Backed by such a strong maternal family, Teng Tianhao can be said to be smooth sailing, and he is quite competitive, and he made some famous names in the army when he was a teenager, and some people gradually called him a thousand years old, or even long live.
All this made Emperor Zhong Kang feel a trace of danger, the situation above the court changed instantly, and an uncle of the Qianfu was seized by Emperor Zhong Kang, and used this as a gap to lay down a large part of the power of the Qianfu in the court, and took back a lot of the right to speak.
Teng Tianhao felt Emperor Zhongkang's thoughts, and knew that if he continued like this, his grandfather's vein would definitely be gone. So, in order to protect himself, Qianfu cut off his arm, resigned, retired, and hibernated! As the crown prince, he even pretended to be disabled by his aunt Qian Ruoxue's acupuncture technique, and in this huge whirlpool of the court, he retreated bravely and recuperated in obscurity.
Teng Tianhao saw his aunt gobbling up chicken legs, and took out a Supa to wipe the corners of her mouth for her, "The world says that the second lady of Qianfu is weak, like a weak willow supporting the wind. My jaw dropped when I saw this."
Qian Ruoxue snorted and slapped Teng Tianhao's hand away, "It's not big or small, anyway, I'm not the second lady of Qianfu now, I'm the beauty of the East Palace now." Do you want me, the head of the East Palace, to help knock and beat your fiancée, don't let her make trouble for us" As he spoke, a few wisps of cold light flashed faintly green on his fingertips.
Teng Tianhao's mind flashed that silver-white figure, and his brows furrowed inadvertently, wanting to speak.
Tian Zijue next to him opened his mouth first, "Miss Lin is a daughter, she has been pampered since she was a child, I am afraid that there will be some trouble." ”
Qian Ruoxue glanced at Tian Zijue, "Xiao Tiantian, you have helped that Miss Lin family say a lot tonight." ”
Tian Zijue scratched her head in embarrassment, "I just saw her innocent and romantic look, and she doesn't look like a spy."
Qian Ruoxue raised her eyebrows, "You superficial man!" The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous it is, and I naturally know how to test her! ”
Teng Tianhao saw the two of them making trouble, "Enough, Zijue, what my aunt said is also reasonable, you can't be fascinated by your appearance"
Tian Zijue saw that the prince had spoken, and nodded heavily, after all, what Qian Ruoxue said was right, some people's appearance was too deceptive. However, he is absolutely loyal to the prince, if Lin Xun does something crooked to the prince, he will definitely be the one who rushes to the forefront to kill Lin Xun, and he will never be soft because of her appearance.
Qian Ruoxue put down the chicken leg in her hand, wiped her hands, and stood up, "I'll go and meet her." Without waiting for Teng Tianhao to agree, he walked out of the private room.
Teng Tianhao looked at Qian Ruoxue's back helplessly, his aunt studied medicine with the Miao people, and she was also contaminated with a trace of the free and easy atmosphere of the Miao people. He turned his head sideways to Tian Zijue and ordered, "Zijue, you secretly follow and take a look, in case it is out of control, secretly stop your aunt, and don't let her hurt Miss Lin's life." ”
Tian Zijue hugged his fists and said, "It's Your Highness, Zijue takes the order." Then followed by Qian Ruoxue and also came out of the private room.
There was only Teng Tianhao left in the private room, and he looked down from the window, as if he could see through the golden square opposite. The glimpse that flashed in his mind gradually coincided with the little girl in his previous memory.
Teng Tianhao silently turned the teacup, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he smiled lowly, "Lin Xun? ... Really interesting."
