Chapter 31: Resignation

Inside the Imperial Study

The middle-aged man with a handsome face was not angry and arrogant, "Yan'er, that's how you treat the county lord of Changning?" On the day of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the ceremony, he openly hooked up with the three girls of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what's the matter, one second girl is not enough, and now the three girls of the other family are also involved? Co-authored Prime Minister's Mansion, all the children and dependents are for you to choose and have fun? What did I give Zhi Yao to you for, your mother knows best, I am really disappointed in you this time! Do you really think of me? And these unseemly things you have done, you have really lost the face of my royal family! ”

"Erchen... Knowing ...... mistakes" Duan Yuyan lowered his head, he knew that arguing at this moment would only make his father even more disgusted with him, it was better not to say anything.

"Alas, that's it, since you have already said the words of retreat, so many people in the garden have heard it, it is not good to regret it at this moment, Zhou Fuhai, I plan to go down, Ming'er, you let Zhi Yao's girl remember the red coral ornaments from my private treasury to her, I remember, the last time the East China Sea tribute sent a box of Dongzhu, has not been used, so I sent it to the girl, let her make a set of heads, the little girl's family, it is best to wear a bright and bright dress, and there are two days of Qixi Palace banquet, Remember to prepare more of the girl's favorite elixir and jade dew, otherwise the little gluttonous cat will make trouble again. The emperor sighed and commanded in a low voice, with a hint of imperceptible pampering in his tone, "Also, on the day of the palace banquet, you asked the imperial guards to send a team of people to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up Zhiyao into the palace." ”

Zhou Fuhai responded when he heard this, he was not mistaken, the box of Dongzhu Concubine De Niangniang had been thinking about it for a long time, and His Majesty had not rewarded her for a long time, and it was given to the county lord of Changning, presumably Concubine De Niangniang would be so angry that he couldn't stand it, but he was a minion, and he also knew what to say and what to do, like His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who couldn't see clearly, it was really not even comparable to His Royal Highness the Prince, at least the prince knew that in His Majesty's heart, I am afraid that the three princesses together could not compare with the county lord of Changning, and the title was the same as several princessesThe word "long", you must know that several other county lords are still only "yang" generations, and it will be clear which is the farthest away.

Not to mention that the imperial guard is His Majesty's personal guard, even the crown prince can't let His Majesty use the imperial guard to escort him into the palace, and these treatments, the little county lord has enjoyed them all over the place. This time it's good, the county lord has no obstruction and imprisonment of the marriage contract, and the Qixi Palace banquet will be more lively, after all, there are no female dependents in the general's mansion in this life, the county lord is not only the sixth lady of the prime minister's mansion, but also the little lady of the general's mansion.

On the sixth day of July, Wuyuan

The sky was slightly bright, and Shen Qingwan was called up by Xun Han, "Miss, Miss, wake up soon?" Get up quickly, someone will come to the palace to announce the decree, and you can't sleep. ”

Shen Qingwan bathed and changed his clothes in a confused face, put on his head and face, and came to the front hall in a daze.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: There is now Shen Qingwan, the lord of Changning County, dignified and virtuous, gentle and lovely, because of the King of Qin, he is allowed to retire, and since then the marriage of men and women is irrelevant, and he is here." Zhou Fuhai read out the holy decree and gently helped Shen Qingwan up, "County Lord, Long Live Lord asked the miscellaneous family to send you two things ten, which contain your favorite red coral ornaments, and a box of East China Sea tribute Dongzhu, that color is also very good, before Concubine De Niangniang begged for a long time Your Majesty did not give it to her, but now Your Majesty has given it to you, the county lord." ”

Zhou Fuhai has been following the present since he was eight or nine years old, and he has been in the scene for decades now, and he has also watched Shen Qing grow up late since he was a child, and his tone naturally has a little closeness.

Of course, this last sentence was said in a low voice, they all knew that even if they were disrespectful to the three princesses, they couldn't offend this little county lord who grew up with thousands of pets, otherwise let alone the generals and prime ministers, even the emperor and the queen mother and the three noble masters would not let go of this initiator, why do you want to say why, it may be because of the reason that it can't be published...

Shen Qingwan smiled and nodded, "Zhiyao knows, and ask the chief manager to go back and thank the emperor for me first, tomorrow Zhiyao will enter the palace and personally report to His Majesty." Looking for Han, Haosheng sent Mr. Zhou out. ”

"Yes, the slave knows." Xun Han smiled, "Manager Zhou, please." ”

Zhou Fuhai responded, "The slave will retire first, the county lord is preparing for Ming'er's palace banquet, and His Majesty has arranged for the imperial guards to pick you up into the palace tomorrow." ”

"Trouble Manager Zhou informed." Shen Qingwan smiled and didn't speak again, signaling Xunhan to send Zhou Fuhai out.

Back in the courtyard, Shen Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, "The marriage contract can be regarded as dissolved, and I am finally free!" "I finally got out of the sea of suffering, and I have nothing to do with that scumbag anymore!

"Yes, Miss is free this time, Ming'er has to dress up beautifully to go to the palace banquet and brighten the eyes of the pair of dog men and women!" Mu Tao said indignantly.

"If those people knew that our young lady was a little miracle doctor, they wouldn't be shocked and drop their jaws." Xun Han said with a smile, she was favored by the General's Mansion when she was a child, so that she could have today, in her heart, no one is worthy of her young lady at all, and this pair of dog men and women still practice Miss like this, it is really disgusting!

Shen Qingwan smiled, "Okay, okay, guess they didn't think that your young lady would be happy to see it happen when it comes to retiring from relatives." ”

"Then the subordinates will congratulate Miss on getting out of the sea of suffering." Congyun said with a smile.

"The subordinates too, congratulations to Miss for being single." Several maids came forward one after another and quipped.

Cuiwei Palace

The woman in palace clothes sitting at the top slapped the table heavily, "Yan'er, you are so confused!" For the sake of the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sixth lady who gave up the real golden branches and jade leaves of the family, don't blame the mother for saying you, you are really confused in this matter! ”

"Erchen... Erchen didn't know what he was wrong. Duan Yuyan said with a gloomy face, he was about to reach the age of a weak crown, and he was accused by his mother concubine in front of the palace people, of course, he couldn't pull his face down.

"Alas, Yan'er, it's really not the mother concubine who said you, have you ever known why your father gave Miss Shen to you a few years ago, instead of someone else?" Li Qingshu said in a deep voice, waving her hand and signaling the palace people to retreat, although she was sure that the whole Cuiwei Palace was under her control, but she was afraid that there would be fish that slipped through the net, and it was a safe move to let people go down at this moment.

Duan Yuyan also got rid of the state of being carried away by "love" and regained some of his senses, "I don't know, so I ask my mother to elaborate." ”

"Yan'er, do you remember what the situation of our mother and son was five years ago, do you remember that later the mother concubine rose all the way, from a small nobleman, to the position of Concubine De, and even took your foreign family to the second rank." Li Qingshu squinted, as if recalling the previous events.

Duan Yuyan nodded, "Erchen remembers that at that time, Erchen and his mother were often bullied by the palace people and often humiliated..."

"Yes, at that time, you had the crown prince Chu Wang, Qi Wang, Jin Wang, Yu Wang, who was not a person with a prominent family, but you were chosen, do you know why?" Li Qingshu sighed, "The queen and the concubine both like Miss Shen as the princess very much, but Your Majesty chose you, followed by the promotion of the mother concubine and your foreign family, just because, Your Majesty wants to find a husband for the county lord of Changning who is not very prominent, with the backing of the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one dares to bully the county lord at will." ”

"But... Why did he do this? Duan Yuyan's eyes widened in confusion, Duan Yuyan did not leave Shen Qing in his previous life, so he naturally didn't know these past events.

Li Qingshu sighed heavily, "Have you noticed that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are very good to the Lord of Changning, one of the reasons is because at that time, your father and the emperor took the heir, and it was with the support of the Great General's Mansion that today... Besides, have you ever known that no one in this harem is your father's sweetheart... The woman your father loves most in his life is the mother of the county lord of Changning, the county lord of Shaoyang, who was stunning in the world... That's why he is a little more partial to the little princess, this is good, except for the reckless man of the King of Qi, the prince, the king of Chu, the king of Jin, and the king of Yu do not have princesses, which is not eyeing the tiger, and this good opportunity is ruined in your body in the blessing of not knowing the blessing. No matter how good Shen Yijia's girl is, no matter how beautiful she is, no matter how beautiful you like, she is just a concubine, plus she was belittled by His Majesty and lost her name as a talented woman, where is she worthy of you? Don't say it's a concubine or a side concubine, being a concubine and a concubine feels a little worse. ”

Duan Yuyan was speechless in shock, it turned out... I see, it's such a reason, no wonder he was not valued by his father since he was a child, five years ago he suddenly entered his father's sight, no wonder the grandfather's family, who was weak before, suddenly rose to the second grade of the Ministry of Industry a few years ago, no wonder he was bullied by the palace people since he was born, a few years ago suddenly entered the sight of the imperial grandmother, with the imperial grandmother to take care of, he has never eaten dregs of bran and wild vegetables... I see... That's the reason......

Li Qingshu sighed, "You stupid child, now, the mother concubine doesn't know what to do, you can watch tomorrow's Qixi Palace Banquet, a county lord who is favored and has a prominent family background without marriage constraints, and the county lord of Changning must marry into it for the concubine, there are more eligible princes, and you don't have the concubine of the county lord of Changning, and it is not so easy to find such a princess." ”

Duan Yuyan only knew at this time that he was stupid enough to do things, but it was too late, he quit his family, and without the two backings of the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, he no longer had the qualifications to compete with others...

In Li Qingshu's sigh, Duan Yuyan slowly left Cuiwei Palace, his mind was blank, he seemed to know a lot of ulterior things, and he also understood the reason why he was valued, this heavy blow made him a little confused.
