Chapter 214: Pity the Grass Alone
After the prince sent the king of Nan'an and the king of Beijing away, he returned to the study.
Zhen Yingyu saw him turn around and continued: "Yesterday I went to visit the third prince, and the third prince has a few things for me to tell you. ”
"Please!" Wang Ziteng said solemnly.
Zhen Yingyu said in a deep voice: "First, let you not get too close to the prince of Beijing, the king of Beijing is young and vigorous, and frequently provokes the emperor, which has caused great disgust to the emperor, and the third prince is also extremely displeased with him. ”
"As it should be!" Wang Ziteng nodded and said, "It's really inappropriate for King Beijing to keep pushing us against the emperor, but after all, King Beijing is our shield, and we can't show it too obviously." ”
Speaking of this, I sighed a little in my heart, King Beijing and himself and others were not all the way.
King Beijing has always suspected that his father's death is related to the emperor, so he hates the royal family very much, and has been pushing everyone to rebel, but everyone knows that this matter is difficult to succeed, and he and others just stood on the wrong side when they won the throne, and there are some disagreements with the emperor.
Zhen Yingyu nodded and continued: "The second is to let you win over the generals of the left and right battalions as much as possible!" ”
"You reassure the third prince, I came back this time for this matter!" Wang Ziteng said solemnly, he has not been in Beijing often in the past few years, most of his subordinates have changed, and the rest of the people don't know how much affection there is.
After Zhen Yingyu explained a few more things, he finally said: "The last thing is to pay attention to Lu Jingqi." ”
"Why is that?" Prince Teng stared at him and asked, wondering why the third prince would mention Lu Jing, and he was about to ambush him.
Zhen Yingyu shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the third prince said that he was a person who was loyal to the king, and the king of Zhongshun attached great importance to him. ”
After thinking about it, he said: "I guess that the third prince wants you to win over Lu Jing, after all, we don't have much support from Wenchen here, and Lu Jing is quite talented, and he has been reused by the emperor recently. ”
"I understand, don't worry, I will handle this matter well, after all, he is married to the niece of the Jia family, and this blood and family relationship is always inseparable!" Wang Ziteng said with a smile on his face.
Although he said so, he changed his plan in his heart, originally planned to suppress Lu Jing first and let him take refuge in desperation, but now he has the heart to support him without a trace.
If you pull him into your own camp, it is nothing more than a number of inconsequential help, but if you want to secretly support him, you can have many ways to retreat, now everyone around you is in the same boat, and you can't vote for others, so betting all your bets on one family is extremely risky, in case your plan fails, there is still room for maneuver with Lu Jing, it seems that you have to take time to talk to him.
After King Beijing returned to his home, he saw that the king of Nan'an County, the Zhen family, and the Wang family were closely connected and acted in unison, as if they had the intention of rejecting themselves, and they were a little anxious, thinking that the three families were close to Jiafu, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite Jia Baoyu.
After Jia Baoyu arrived, King Beijing personally greeted him, introduced Jia Baoyu into the banquet with great enthusiasm, and sent three beautiful singers to serve Jia Baoyu.
Surrounded by hairpin skirts and beauties on the side, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but be shy, her face was cramped and a little restless.
Seeing that she looked nervous, the woman in red among the three women peeled a chestnut and dipped it in sweet milk, and fed it to Jia Baoyu with her own hands.
Jia Baoyu unconsciously opened his mouth to swallow it, and after reacting, his face suddenly turned red with shame, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister!" ”
Seeing his restrained expression, the three girls were already curious, and when they heard him say the word sister, they all covered their mouths and smiled, thinking that this person was very interesting, and the woman in red was even more beautiful, staring at Jia Baoyu with affection.
King Beijing knew that although it was rumored that Jia Baoyu was good at Fengyue and was used to flirting, he was actually just a chick, and seeing his restrained expression, he asked the three women in red to stand up and dance.
After the three girls left, Jia Baoyu looked at ease, just recalled the scene just now, and couldn't help but look at the woman in red, seeing that she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, her eyebrows were like green feathers, her skin was like snow, her beautiful eyes were flowing, she looked forward to her brilliance, her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Qingwen, and she saw that her waist was slender, her dancing posture was graceful, and her dancing was light like a weak wind supporting willows, and she couldn't help but immerse herself in it.
King Beijing noticed Jia Baoyu's expression, and had a plan in his heart, so he pointed to the woman in red and asked with a smile, "What does Brother Xian think of this woman?" ”
Jia Baoyu was fascinated by his dancing posture, and unconsciously chanted: "When I mistakenly went to the top of Pengshan Mountain, the bright bell jade girl moved her starry eyes." Zhu Fei half-covers the deep palace moon, and should be sad according to Xuanzhi Xueyan. After speaking, Fang realized the faux pas, and hurriedly got up to make amends to King Beijing.
"It's okay, it's okay!" King Beijing laughed, then sat down with Jia Baoyu and asked, "Does the virtuous brother know her identity?" ”
Jia Baoyu's face turned red, thinking that this woman might be the concubine of King Beijing, so she hurriedly shook her head and replied that she didn't know.
King Beijing smiled and sighed: "This woman's surname is Su, she is the daughter of the prefect of Qingzhou, because her mother is a courtesan, the prefect of Qingzhou sold it to the Jiaofang Division, so that she is committed to the club, the king took pity on her life experience, so he bought it in the house, named Qing'e, and now it has been three years. ”
Jia Baoyu was furious when he heard this, there was such a ruthless father in the world, not to mention loving his daughter, he actually sold her to the land of red dust.
King Beijing saw that his face was full of anger, he smiled secretly in his heart, sighed and continued: "Qing'e was sold to the teaching department before cardamom, at that time, someone knew her identity, and felt that her life experience made a poem: Qingzhou eunuch Qing'e daughter, in the middle of the dance branches. The seat was full of embroidered clothes, and the poor red face was full of tears. ”
Jia Baoyu couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard this, and a little girl of eleven or twelve years old appeared in her eyes, who was sold to a different place by her biological father, and she didn't know all the embroidered clothes in the seat, and she burst into tears, and sighed: "It's really hateful and pitiful!" ”
Seeing this, King Beijing secretly applauded, hurriedly took Jia Baoyu's hand, and said gently: "I know that Brother Xian has always pitied flowers and women, and today I will send Qing'e to my brother, and I hope that Brother Xian will take care of him." ”
Jia Baoyu was startled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but cry and hurriedly refused: "How can this be made!" ”
King Beijing hurriedly smiled and comforted: "In ancient times, there were elegant men who exchanged thousands of golden horses for concubines, and it was rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while, and Li Taibai also had poems: thousands of golden horses for concubines, laughing and sitting on the carved saddle song "Falling Plum". What's more, this king just took pity on her life experience, temporarily kept her in the house, and now gave it to her virtuous brother, which is also a good destination for her. ”
Jia Baoyu still feels inappropriate, such a girl should be regarded as a treasure and cherished, how can it be sent as goods, wouldn't it be an insult to Zhong Lingyuxiu, which was given to her by heaven and earth.
King Beijing didn't give Jia Baoyu a chance to refuse, so he called Su'e and said that he would send her to Jia Baoyu.
Su E burst into tears in an instant after hearing this, looking at Jia Baoyu's eyes more affectionately, and there was also a bit of joy in her bright eyes, although she had been in the palace in the past few years, although she had been in the palace for a few years, the jade chopsticks were raised, the golden furnace was fragrant, the cloud screen entered Qiluo, and the embroidered pearl was cui, but she was not free, and she always forced her face to laugh, how different from the birds in the cage, she had long been looking forward to having a lover to stay with her for life.
Jia Baoyu had the heart to refuse, but seeing Qing'e's pitiful expression, and the tears in her eyes were also full of friendship, she suddenly couldn't bear it, and she couldn't say anything if she refused.
Qing'e saw that although there was pity in her eyes, she also had the intention of refusing, so she wrote a poem: "The deep cave warbler cries and hates Ruan Lang, and steals the flowers to solve the beads." The blue clouds are broken and the book is broken, and the jade flute is sad and the phoenix is empty. ”
Seeing this, King Beijing smiled and said: "Haha, Lang has a concubine intention, it is just a match, and this king also has a heart to fulfill, why should the virtuous brother hesitate and live up to the beauty." If the virtuous brother doesn't accept Qing'e, she will follow others sooner or later, if it is not human, wouldn't it be your fault with me. ”
After Jia Baoyu heard this, she was reluctant to follow others like this, and when she saw that several people were staring at her expectantly, she agreed after a moment of wavering.
Seeing this, King Beijing asked Qing'e to pack up and let the princess send a message to the princess, asking her to prepare a dowry for Qing'e, which was regarded as his congratulatory gift.
Qing'e wept while thanking the king of Beijing, and then went to pack her luggage.
Seeing this, the other singers all looked at Qing'e with envy, and they also had the intention of escaping in their hearts, eager to live the life of an ordinary couple.
Although Jia Baoyu accepted Qing'e, he was always a little uncomfortable in the face of King Beijing, and always felt that it was extremely inappropriate for King Beijing to send the singer to him, and he felt a little remorseful in his heart, and he should not agree.
Seeing that the goal of winning over Jia Baoyu had been achieved, the King of Beijing was even more interested, and frequently persuaded him to drink and talk heartily during the banquet to enhance the relationship between the two and win his heart.
Although Jia Baoyu was uncomfortable, he didn't want to brush off the kindness of King Beijing, which disturbed his interest, so he had to be careful to accompany him.
After the banquet, the king of Beijing arranged a carriage to escort Jia Baoyu and Qing'e back to Jiafu together.
