Seeing that the tide of support for Song Zhenyuan was higher and higher, Ying Concubine became more and more anxious, who didn't know that Song Zhenyuan, the only grandson of Song Yaozhi, was a complete gentleman? When he urinated without his father, his grandfather loved him as a treasure, and his widowed mother didn't need to say it, he simply regarded him as his own heart, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, holding it in his hand for fear of rate, not daring to give rain to the wind, pointing to the east and never going west, it was simply the little ancestor of the Song family.

Before King Xi made his fortune, he had already mixed with his grandfather's protégé Cui Yong and other drunken people, fighting cocks and lackeys, bullying the weak, and after King Xi made his career, he became more and more arrogant, and no one dared to take care of the entire Jingnan Road. Later, his aunt Song Huifei saw that he was really troublesome, so she transferred him to Luo'an, the eastern capital, to ask him to be a scholar to take care of the family's Hengxingxing, second, to make friends with some dignitaries in the eastern capital to expand the power of the Song family, and third, to think that Luo'an has many strong dragons and local snakes, and can also control his temperament.

When Song Zhenyuan first arrived in Luo'an, he really didn't dare to be willful, after all, the powerful and powerful were many strong, he had just come from Jingnan Dao, and he was also timid, but as the status of Concubine Song Hui and King Xi gradually stabilized, his ability also rose, and those powerful people turned around and scolded him, so he was even more inflated, and it was more than ten times worse than when he was in Jingnan Dao.

If his daughter marries such a person, won't this life be over? Although Song Zhenyuan didn't dare to do anything to her in the name of the princess, where is there happiness in the face of such a husband? Concubine Ying was really angry and anxious at this time, but she was very helpless, so she could only forcibly say a few words that were not worthy of Song Gongzi and the like. Before he could say anything, he was pushed back by Zhang Meiren's generation, saying that the princess is a nobleman, her status is noble, how good are all men in the world, they are all courtiers in front of the princess, how they are not worthy and so on. Ying Concubine realized that she had said the wrong thing, the princess was the daughter of the Son of Heaven, and saying that she was not worthy of a foreign minister was not belittling the monarch, so she was busy arguing and was very embarrassed, in short, "Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror - he is not a person inside and out".

The person was lively, Miao Cairen, who was silently sipping tea on the side, suddenly burst out laughing, her delicate appearance attracted the attention of Emperor Hongyuan, so she turned around and asked with a smile, "Miao Cairen found something interesting?" Speak up and let me have fun. ”

Miao Cairen hurriedly got up and saluted, "Back to Your Majesty, the concubines are laughing at how smart your sisters usually are, but how can you clean the horns of the bull when you get to the knots?" Since you know the truth of kissing and kissing, how can you not know that Song Gongzi is far more than the only one who can kiss Princess Shengning now? According to the concubine, you recommend one person, I recommend one person, just like those folk people who try to recruit relatives, that is lively and interesting, everyone recommends the same person, even if that person is Wenchangxing, Wuquxing descended to earth, it is inevitably lonely, not interesting. ”

"Hahaha...... You little seedling, you don't leave any affection when you talk in front of me and all the seniors, but you just get to the point, tsk...... I really don't know whether to punish you or reward you. Concubine Ya, the Tingyu Pavilion where Xiao Miaozi lives is the side hall of your Ningde Palace, tell me, should I be punished or rewarded? ”

Concubine Xiao Ya covered her mouth and smiled, "Your Majesty is confused?" Now it is Sister Hui who is in charge of these six palaces, Miao Cai should be punished or rewarded, and His Majesty should ask Sister Hui Fei. ”

Concubine Song Hui was a little embarrassed, not smiling, not annoyed, so she had to reluctantly say, "Your Majesty, what Miao Cairen said is not bad, and it should be rewarded." ”

"Haha...... Okay, that's the reward! Wang Zhong, instruct to go down and send the Khotanese jade Ruyi newly sent by the Anxi Protectorate to the Tingyu Pavilion of Miao Cairen! There is a side hall, and the main hall should also be there, so ask the Internal Affairs Bureau to pick another piece of good Khotanese jade and send it to Ningde Palace! Uh, just said kiss and kiss, Xiao Miaozi, you were only selected to enter the palace last year, and you should have heard more about the new things outside the palace than us, you say, what kind of concubine should I give to my princess Shengning? ”

"How can those men in the outside world compare with Your Majesty, now that Xiao Miao has won the favor of Your Majesty, the people in the outside world have long been unable to enter the eyes of the concubines, so ah, if Your Majesty wants to ask the concubines, it is better to ask yourself, there are so many young talents in the court, Your Majesty picks a random one among them who is related, isn't it both 'kissing and kissing' and 'fast son-in-law in the east bed'?"

Emperor Hongyuan became more and more useful when he heard this, praised her again, and then took the opportunity to say that he would carefully select when he wanted to go to court, and the matter would be discussed later, so he bypassed the topic. Ying Concubine didn't expect that the person who finally freed herself from the siege was a girl who had just been lucky and had just been promoted to a talented person, and while the big stone fell in her heart, she was also very grateful to her. After thinking about it, how could she, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, know so much, I am afraid it was also because of Xiao Yafei's training, so the scale in her heart unconsciously favored Xiao Yafei.

Because of this incident during the day, Emperor Hongyuan had a little more impression of Miao Cairen, and went to Tingyu Pavilion that night. A few days later, Emperor Hongyuan announced that Xiao Tingxiu and Cao Yingze went to the imperial study, saying that they would discuss the affairs of the military department. Cao Yingze felt very strange when he received the order, when the army returned to Beijing, he had already pushed all the rewards, and now he is still just a prince with no power and no position, what affairs to discuss? At the beginning, he was dragged by Xiao Tingxiu to go out with the army, and he also took him to relax and heal his emotional wounds, but in fact, he took a fancy to his ability to spy on news and fooled him to work! In Qianzhong Dao, it was a life of nine deaths, and he almost lost his life, he was completely pitted by Xiao Tingxiu, and when he came back, he had already said that there would be no next time, Xiao Tingxiu would not go back on his word! His emotional wounds are not yet complete, how can he have the heart to take care of the affairs of the military department!

Emperor Hongyuan asked about the war in Qianzhong Road, and asked about the way of marching staff and the way of selecting generals, Cao Yingze didn't know what to do, and he was afraid that if he didn't answer well, Xiao Tingxiu would be affected, so he had to take it seriously, and after more than an hour was consumed, Emperor Hongyuan was very satisfied, nodded again and again, and finally gave lunch, Cao Yingze was simply confused. Finally survived until the end of noon, Emperor Hongyuan's lunch break was up to let him go, and when he left, Emperor Hongyuan patted him on the shoulder for the first time, and left the imperial study with a smile.

Out of the palace gate, Cao Yingze pulled Xiao Tingxiu and asked, "Uncle Xiao, what did you do to me again?" I can tell you, now I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay in the house in peace, don't fix me! ”

"Brother, how can I fix you? In Qianzhong Dao, if it weren't for your clever plan of 'Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang', and a false move to attack on a large scale, it would not have forced Wei Shaoqing to fight to the death with the tribal army impatiently, speaking of which, the fishing profits recovered from this sitting should have been yours, and I still took your light! It's too late to hurt you, what are you doing! ”

Cao Yingze was disgusted when he heard it, and he was about to leave when he got on the horse, but Xiao Tingxiu brought him back again, "Brother, don't blame my brother for not reminding you, Your Majesty's announcement that you have entered the palace is not a common gossip." Your cousin, Princess Shengning, is now of the age of marriage, you have been playing together since you were a child, brother and sister, can't you still match Su Yuming, who is already a wife? ”

When Cao Yingze heard this, he hurriedly covered his mouth, lowered his voice and said fiercely, "What Su Yuming?!" Su Yuming is dead, and all the people who searched and rescued me on the side of the Beijiang River can testify! Lord Ye's side room is Yun Xiangming's daughter Yun Clan, you speak carefully! ”

"Good, good...... Yun Clan, Yun Clan, cough, no matter who that person is, you can't worry about it anymore anyway, 'Luo Shi Yufu', understand?! ”

"I know, haven't I tried my best to avoid them, such as retreating in the mansion every day, if it weren't for the sudden edict from His Majesty, I would still be sitting in meditation at home."

"Hmph, you Cao Yingze can also sit in meditation, and I, Xiao Tingxiu, can still be the King of Tota...... is the title of 'Changxing's No. 1 Merry Son' given to you by the monks of Huguo Temple?"

Cao Yingze didn't bother to pay attention to him, and led the horse to leave, but Xiao Tingxiu pulled him again, "I said brother, seriously, Princess Shengning, do you want to?" No, I'm going to fight for it! My aunt told me in private, Your Majesty the throne of this quasi-concubine originally belonged to me, but I heard that Ling Tang intended to recruit her as a daughter-in-law, and Concubine Ying also liked you as her son-in-law, and you and Princess Shengning were aunts and cousins who had known each other since childhood, so I didn't want to rob you, and then I begged my aunt to help you and let her say more good things about you in front of Your Majesty, otherwise you think that Concubine Ying can influence Your Majesty's mind? ”

Hearing this, Cao Yingze was really a little upset, he and Sheng Ning can be described as childhood sweethearts, and they don't mean anything to her in their hearts, but their identities are very different, and they didn't think about it when they were young. Now that I think about it, Princess Shengning has been well-behaved and sensible, gentle and quiet since she was a child, and she has no bad habit of being arrogant and domineering, this character is very rare among the royal heirs, of course, this is also related to the fact that Ying Concubine is not favored, if it is not for Shengning's liking, Ying Concubine may still stay in Zhaoyi's position. Anyway, he is destined to have no chance with Su Yuming in this life, so it is a good thing for him to be able to stay with a woman of such a quality as Princess Shengning for a lifetime.

Xiao Tingxiu knew that this marriage was completed when he looked like this, so he clapped his hands and smiled, "There is a problem!" Definitely there is a problem! Haha, then I won't fight with you, but you also have to have a snack, do a good job for Your Majesty, and please his old man, I heard that the Song family is also staring at the throne of the concubine. ”

When Cao Yingze heard this, he suddenly became angry, and asked rhetorically, "Song Zhenyuan? He deserves it too?! ”

"Hey, don't say it, if I spread my hand and give up this position, whether Song Zhenyuan is worthy or not is it not a matter of a few words in the harem? You don't know what Song Huifei is capable of! Now Your Majesty is your son-in-law, and intends to recruit you into the court and give you an official position to match the princess. ”

Cao Yingze's heart was still up and down, but when he heard that people like Song Zhenyuan were so bold that he wanted to get involved with his cousin, he had already thrown the last few hesitations out of the clouds, Princess Shengning's throne, even if the emperor didn't give it to him, he had to fight!
