Chapter Twenty-Three: Sisters Against Eyes 2
Shen Yimeng was thinking about her own affairs, she always knew that she was not as good as her sister, from her talent and appearance, to the person she liked, her sister's fiancé.
Speaking of which, at the beginning, she didn't like His Royal Highness King Qin so much, but she couldn't get used to Shen Qingwan having all the best things, but I don't know how, it became what she is now, she is used to competing with Shen Qingwan for everything, compared to Shen Qingwan who has not affected her interests much, she now hates her good sister even more, with Shen Yijia in front of her, no one can see how good she Shen Yimeng is, everyone will only care about her sister, from father to mother, her brother is also not close to her when he is young, On the contrary, she followed her sister every day to be courteous, isn't it because Shen Yijia has a lot of sons and young masters of high-ranking nobles who like it...
Don't think she doesn't know, even His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who she likes, also likes Shen Yijia's cheap woman, isn't she just in love with the fairy that Shen Yijia pretended to be? She has always been unaccustomed to this kind of woman, it's really disgusting, even the man her own sister likes has hooked up, she doesn't know it, Shen Yijia, that cheap woman, secretly often meets with His Royal Highness King Qin, I don't know what kind of unsightly thing the two of them are doing, it's really disgusting, robbing a man with his two sisters, can't he get married, he doesn't have a shame to do this kind of thing all the time!
Thinking of this, Shen Yimeng completely forgot that the person she liked was her sixth sister's fiancé, and she scolded Shen Yijia in her heart, but she completely forgot that what she did was not very upright, and it was not very nice to say it.
And Chun Xing is also making her own little calculations in her heart, if she does things for Miss Six by herself, will she still be able to get the protection of Miss Six in the future, and she will be able to live better in the house...
It's night, inside the Imperial Study
The man in the nine-clawed golden robe looked through the folds in his hand with a gloomy face, and his face became worse and worse with each article he read.
Seeing that he threw the piece on the ground at the end, he slapped the table and stood up with a "snap", "Shen Aiqing, you come to explain to me well, what is the meaning of 'our Xiangye saw that you were pitiful before we came to give porridge'?" If I remember correctly, when Li Aiqing proposed soup kitchen, Prime Minister, you were the most active one to promise. ”
Shen Cheng felt that it was over when he heard it, although he didn't look down on those refugees, he would never say such a remark similar to charity to provoke criticism, it must be the people below who arbitrarily judged his meaning and caused trouble.
"Wechen is wronged, Wechen definitely doesn't mean to look down on refugees, it must be a trouble caused by the people below." Shen Cheng hurriedly knelt down, how dare he admit this kind of thing, the emperor attaches great importance to a series of disasters caused by waterlogging, if it is rumored at this juncture that he looks down on refugees, wouldn't it be equivalent to his dissatisfaction with the emperor's decision-making, to put it mildly, he is dissatisfied with the present, then can he still have good fruits to eat?
The emperor, Duan Hao, raised his eyebrows, and his face turned two points colder, "What Prime Minister Shen said is saying that Zhu Yushi and others have wronged you?" ”
"Wechen didn't dare, but Wechen did not condone the people below to look down on the refugees." Shen Cheng knelt down and continued.
"What does Lord Shen mean by this, that Lord Zhu and Lord Gu have framed their colleagues? However, the refusal of the officials to know, the people sent to the soup kitchen by the Prime Minister's Mansion did keep saying that it was passed on by you, Lord Shen, and as early as this year's Hundred Flowers Festival, some people saw the second girl in your mansion and His Royal Highness King Qin... If I remember correctly, His Royal Highness King Qin was given by His Majesty to the Lord of Yongning. If I remember correctly, His Royal Highness King Qin has not broken the marriage contract with the county lord yet, although the second girl Shen has the reputation of the first talented woman in the capital, she even has to get involved with her sister's fiancé, what about the top talent, and the conduct is really not good. Yang Yushi took a step forward and reprimanded, he hated those who were involved in other people's fiancés and wives the most in his life, and Shen Yijia's wave of operations happened to hit the muzzle of this adult's gun.
Yang Yushi is the father of the palace concubine, and the fiancée who was married when he was young was cut off by other men, and for some reason he despised this kind of person, especially Shen Yijia, a woman who even hooked up with his sister's fiancé, which made him even disdainful.
Although these imperial histories of the Imperial History Observatory have no real power, everyone is arrogant and disdainful of others, behind them are the ladies and concubines in the palace and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who has a good reputation in the court, Yang Yushi is of course not afraid of offending a prime minister who has provoked the emperor's impatience, not to mention that even Shen Cheng's second brother-in-law Gu Yushi did not hesitate to stand up against Shen Cheng, and he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
"Yes, Weichen seems to have heard Madame mention this matter. I heard that when I was racing dragon boats some time ago, Shen Er and His Royal Highness King Qin also traveled hand in hand. "Prime Minister Shen's old rival Xi Shangshu will naturally not let go of this God-given opportunity to make Shen Cheng feel better. Xi Shangshu is the father of the first queen's concubine, Shen Cheng's eldest daughter married into the palace of King Qi, and the sixth daughter has a marriage contract with King Qin, King Qin has always absorbed the prince to do things and is considered a person in half a boat, but King Qi is different, King Qi and the prince have always had political disagreements, and Xi Shangshu, who is the prince's foreign family, can also see that Shen Cheng does not treat his own little daughter very much, so naturally he will not feel that he has any kinship with Shen Cheng, but he looks down on Shen Cheng's style.
Shen Cheng is not unaware of the fact that he supports the King of Qi behind his back, the two princes supported by the two families fight to the death, and the political opinions of the two families in the court often differ, and the open and secret battles are endless. Although the Shen family has now climbed the tree of the Qi Palace, the King of Qi has just caused the emperor to be dissatisfied with the waterlogging some time ago, although the General Mansion of the Queen Mother of Qi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but how can it be possible to support the Shen family for a concubine, Xi Shangshu knows this very well, not to mention that now the Shen family's backyard is on fire and is impeached by his own family, and he is stupid if he does not take the opportunity to step on it. Although His Royal Highness King Qin is the emperor's own son, everyone knows that the emperor's favorite thing is his grandson, the crown prince, the most favored is His Royal Highness King Yu, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who is the most relieved, King Qin has to go back to the back. Not to mention that no one in Ling Qi Capital didn't know that the emperor's favorite girl was not his own three daughters, but the sixth lady of the Shen family, who was exceptionally named the county lord.
Miss Shen Liu was favored by the nobles in the palace since she was a child, from the queen mother to the emperor and queen concubines, they were all very good to Miss Shen Liu. When the county lord of Changning was six years old, he was given a marriage to the son of Concubine De, who was not very favored at that time, and then Concubine De was named the son of the fourth concubine from Jieyu Jin, and it was obvious that the emperor gave Concubine De's mother and son face because of Miss Shen Liu.
"Prime Minister, King Qin, what do you have to say?" Duan Hao asked with a gloomy face, if it weren't for today's episode, he really didn't know that his sixth son had done so many things behind his back. At the beginning, he gave Zhiyao to marry him because he took a fancy to his mother's family, and Zhiyao married and had the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion to definitely not suffer, but who knew that Shen Cheng and the two of them were big-hearted.
After a moment of silence in the imperial study, Shen Cheng spoke, "The Weichen goddaughter is not strict, and she has nothing to say. ”
"Erchen has nothing to say." Duan Yuyan's face darkened, and he glared at Yang Yushi and Xi Shangshu fiercely, these two old things were old enough to stay in the court and know how to pick thorns every day.
"In this case, Prime Minister Shen Cheng will be fined for two years, and King Qin will be fined for one year, and the reputation of Shen Er's talented girl will no longer be counted from now on, and I will make it clear that if someone calls Shen Er's girl in the name of a talented woman in the future, it will be disrespectful." Duan Hao helped his forehead, "Yongning County Lord Xiuwai Huizhong suffered this kind of unwarranted disaster again, give a hundred taels of gold, Zhou Fuhai, you will personally go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to announce these two wills." ”
The big eunuch who followed on the side respectfully stepped out of the queue and answered "yes". looked at the two kneeling on the bottom with a smile on his face, and sighed slightly in his heart, it's a pity, what a good prime minister can't see the form clearly, even the emperor can't see that the emperor is partial to Miss Six, His Royal Highness King Qin is quite clever on weekdays, how can he meet someone who loves and loves has become like this, and even the emperor can't see who he doesn't want to see, and it's not a loss to be punished.
"Thank you for the Emperor's grace." Shen Cheng said with a pale face.
"Thank you, Father." King Qin said respectfully.
The matter of impeachment seems to have ended with the emperor's punishment that is not heavy, but the subsequent effects are far from over. As early as the morning, after the next dynasty, several people in Shen Cheng were left behind, and the matter of the emperor who had a big fire in the early morning had spread like the wind in the Gaomen family in the entire capital, and I don't know where it came from that Shen Cheng sold his daughter to seek glory, and Shen Er's girl climbed power and coveted and seduced her sister-in-law's fiancé. One or two people said that it could be explained as a rumor, but what dozens of people were saying seemed to be the truth.
Shen Cheng returned to the mansion with Tie Qing's face, and it was almost time, and when he heard the report of the people who had happened in the mansion, he was so angry that his whole face turned red, "Liu's... Good for you, Liu's ......"
He really never expected that the Liu family would be so bold, he had always regarded his wife's dowry as his own bag, but he didn't expect that because of Liu's idiot, all the real money and silver went into the hands of his sixth daughter, and he didn't know the people next to him, his sixth daughter was not a person to fool.
There is also Yi Jia, who doesn't worry about himself day by day, even if he goes out with King Qin, he is actually seen, and he is also used to impeach himself, the second daughter who has been pinned on by himself since she was a child, is really not as good as before day by day.
He also saw the emperor's attitude, he liked him as a sixth daughter when he beat the little emperor, and now he is punishing himself heavily for these things, it seems that his attitude towards Shen Qingwan should also change in the future, and he can no longer indulge the Liu family and ruin his own big things, otherwise... The blame came down, and he couldn't afford it.
