The matter of stabbing the hornet's nest, in addition to the time when Hong Shanchang angrily scolded Zhang Shou at the scripture feast, he also did it in Yuzhang Academy in the past.

But Hong also knows that when he was in Yuzhang Academy, there was an old mountain chief, and there was a group of students who admired his academic character to maintain it sincerely, plus the ups and downs of officialdom in Yuzhang Academy for decades in the early years, and finally returned to his roots, and the most important thing is that when her father opened a sinner, she would also try her best to guide her, so her father was always safe in the end.

Not only is there no incident, but every time someone is offended in public, the person who is convicted by Hong Shan often falls, and over time, it has also caused his father's stubborn character to die, because people always believe that the destiny is on their side.

And this time, too, the emperor said that he would give his father 100 gold, and gallop back to Jiangxi after the feast. But because after the canonization of the crown prince, the feast was not held every day, so the days when people returned to Jiangxi were delayed again and again, and now they are still in the capital.

At this moment, she didn't care about Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying, and hurriedly walked to the outside, and saw that it was an old servant who followed her father, so she immediately inquired carefully, and learned that her father sent her out to buy paper, and said that she wanted to talk about the second prince, he was frightened and hurriedly went to Bei'anmen to find her to report the news, but fortunately someone told her that she was here, so she came over.

Knowing that his father did not explicitly say that he was unhappy for the second prince, this was his own old servant because he had been following his father for a long time, thinking that his father had participated in the turmoil of a famous family in Nanchang in the past, Hong secretly smiled bitterly, gently rubbed her temples and thought quickly, she smiled at the old servant with a pleasant face.

"It's hard for you to make this trip. If your father blames you for being there for so long, tell him that someone is arguing in front of the ink shop, and it sounds like the family of two court officials. ”

Of course, the paper used to write the recital is not ordinary small note paper or large notepaper, but there is a special format of paper, in a place like Beijing, all kinds of Yaxuan who operate the four treasures of the study room are sold, and ordinary ink shops are also sold.

In such a place, the retinue of various officials may be encountered. Although the old servant had not been in Beijing for a long time, he also understood this truth, so he nodded hurriedly.

Knowing that Princess Yongping and Zhu Ying might come out, and the others were more likely to quietly pay attention to their movements, the Hong family continued unhurriedly: "You told your father that the master of the imperial historian claimed to be the master of his family wanted to ask for a thorough investigation of the second prince's matter, saying that the second prince was a prince no matter what, and even if he was crushed, he would have to give the second prince justice. ”

Another person claimed that the master of the family was a certain Shangshu, and scolded this imperial history for seeking fame and madness, and said that the emperor hated this kind of invitation to name the most! Every year, the world doesn't know how many abandoned poor children fill the ditches, he doesn't care, how many officials are corrupt, how he doesn't care, but he is trying to figure out what he wants. What kind of broken bones, it is clearly a book that sells fame and sells straightforwardly, and has been blind for so many years! ”

Seeing that the old servant was desperately trying to remember, she asked her to repeat it to herself, and after confirming that she remembered it correctly, she continued: "If you tell your father again, the entourage of the imperial historian is very dissatisfied, and the dignified son died unexpectedly, should he be like a poor child who died in a ditch, and he will not even be traced?" The Shang scholars ridiculed each other, the emperor, as a monarch's father, did he say that he would not pursue it? ”

"It is said that the white-haired person sending the black-haired person is the biggest tragedy in the world, who can be more sad than the emperor? You so-called upright ministers are just ignoring the pain of your father and pouring salt into people's wounds! As if he didn't jump out, he wouldn't be a loyal minister, and there was no need to emphasize this kind of thing at all, but to crack down on pirates and rectify the sailors, which was more worthy of direct advice. ”

In a hurry, Hong could only come up with such a few words, and then urged the old servant to recite it again and again. Fortunately, this old servant has served in the Hong family for many years, and he is even more loyal to her, and the most important thing is that he knows how to write, although he is old, his head is very clear, so he will come to him for the first time.

In the end, she comforted the old servant a few words, and promised to wait for the things to be done here, if she was free, she would rush back to see her father, if she was not free, she would take leave and go back in two days.

As one of the lectures in the East Palace, even if she is just teaching painting, she also has her own salary, not to mention another income as a princess friend, and in the palace, the palace people who served beside her Yan Ming had been instructed to never accept any reward, so she was simply very rare to find such an opportunity to spend money.

Seeing the carriage leave, Hong wiped the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and then turned around, only to almost collide with someone. Seeing Zhu Ying, a stunning beauty, staring at her thoughtfully, Princess Yongping was three or four steps away, she didn't know when the two appeared behind her, and after being surprised, she smiled apologetically.

"Let the eldest lady smile, my father, I can't rub the sand in my eyes, and I can't say it well...... He is just self-righteous, and he always likes to impose on others what he thinks is right. This approach is not a problem most of the time, after all, although he is stubborn, he adheres to the truth after all, after all, it is true, but things like this one ......"

"It's not that I'm a daughter but I criticize my father, it's really not that he, an outsider, should put his beak!"

"Lady Hong, it's the first time I've seen you make up stories for people, but to be honest...... You've just made up that pretty well! The corners of Zhu Ying's mouth curled, revealing a smug smile, "And you guessed the emperor's character." That's right, the emperor hates those who don't care about the withering of the people's livelihood and the corruption of the officials, but staring at some details and muttering endlessly! ”

As she spoke, she snorted disdainfully: "The second prince may have encountered a shipwreck, and it is definitely impossible for the emperor to settle the matter in this matter, it must be investigated, and it is necessary for outsiders to impassionedly seek justice for him?" ”

"Actually, I can't say I guessed, I just ...... Treat others as you please. Hong didn't want to figure out the reputation of Shangyi, but he had to explain it clearly, "I just think that if I, as a father, even if I make a big mistake because of disobedience, and then I am kicked out of the house, then I am a son after all, once he has something, where will he not be sad in his heart?" ”

"At this time, anyone who jumps out to point fingers, I will always have one in mind! Because, this is tantamount to tearing apart people's scars in blood, making people more bitter and painful!! ”

Having said that, Hong thought in his heart that although the Supreme Son of Heaven cannot be measured by ordinary people, there are not a few emperors in history who have been separated by their courtiers and father-son affection, and there are many people who chase sons and even kill children, but as far as the only little understanding she has about today's son, the emperor's mood at this time should be what she said.

Even if the emperor really prefers the third prince and the fourth prince, but the second prince is dead, how can he ignore it?

Sure enough, the next moment, she saw Princess Yongping also come forward, although her expression was as cold as ever, but her eyes seemed to be much softer: "If my second brother could be as sober as Hong Niangzi in the past and not be confused, then maybe I wouldn't have encountered this incident." ”

"However, I really didn't expect that you would be able to be so anxious just now, Lady Hong, and make up such a statement in a short period of time."

For Princess Yongping, such words are indeed high praise. After all, she didn't like the Hong family, when she first heard the news, she thought that they would have to help find a way to stop the stubborn Hong Shanchang, but she didn't expect that it was useless for her and Zhu Ying to rack their brains, and the Hong family had already thought of a set of useful arguments.

Seeing that the Hong family hurriedly humbled a few words, Zhu Ying said briskly: "If you want to rush back to persuade your father first, then you can also go first." Anyway, we've already seen this place, and the next thing is admissions, so there's no rush today. ”

"If I rush back now, it will be equivalent to confirming that Uncle Qi ran out to report to me, and my stubborn but good-looking father may die to the end when he sees me, even if he wants to dismiss his mind." Hong shook his head without thinking, and then said with a smile, "If the eldest lady really wants to help me, you might as well send someone to keep an eye on my father's house." ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying was a little surprised, she said bluntly: "If Uncle Qi comes out of it again, it means that my father may really go his own way, and at that time, I will let people go up and take the initiative to ask Uncle Qi in my name, and then it is not too late to make plans." ”

"Knowing the father and Mo Ruonu, just do it. I'll go and give a command. Zhu Ying smiled with crooked eyebrows, and really went out first to find an entourage for him to go to Yashe to keep an eye on, and when she came back, she continued with this topic.

"When you say this, I think my father is also this kind of obstinate character, stubborn like a cow, he is in charge, even my grandmother may not pull it back, so my mother had such a stiff quarrel with him before! I didn't understand it before, but when I grew up, I often came forward to persuade me. ”

"So, there is a sentence that Ah Shou likes to hear." didn't notice Princess Yongping's extremely unnatural expression when she said that her parents were old, Zhu Ying's eyebrows danced and said, "Ah Shou told me that my daughter is my father's little padded jacket, which is intimate and informed, better than many sons who don't understand their parents' hearts!" After my grandmother and mother and I said this, they all agreed! ”

Princess Yongping didn't expect Zhang Shou to say such a thing to Zhu Ying, in this era when giving birth to a boy is to make Zhang, giving birth to a girl is to make a tile, and a girl is born as if she has lived up to some expectations, how many people will think that giving birth to a daughter is better than giving birth to a son?

It's her, and she still hates herself as a woman very much, because what a princess can do is too limited, so limited that she can't even control her marriage, let alone the future. It was only after knowing her background that she realized that if she was the prince, then there would be no one in the palace for a long time.

The royal family may raise a princess with an unknown background, but it will not raise a prince with an unknown background.

However, Zhu Ying is like her, "the concubine is unknown", and even Jiuniang once entered the Buddhist temple angrily, and even the marriage event was decided very childishly early, and her fiancé was still born on the same day, the same month, and the same year as them, and Zhang Shou, who grew up in the countryside. is such a fiancé, Zhu Ying fell in love at first sight, and Zhang Shou is such a person who is very different from most men!

Why is Zhu Ying's luck so good with the same background?

The Hong family does not have as many grievances as Princess Yongping, she was born dexterous and thoughtful, but she looks ordinary, she has long been accustomed to the eyes mixed with admiration and regret, she has long been accustomed to the cold words behind her, and she has long cultivated a hard heart, so although she feels that Zhu Ying is lucky and trusts people, she will not pity herself because of her life experience.

At this moment, she smiled and praised: "If Mr. Zhang's words are not to make the eldest lady happy, but really think so, then he is a generous man." ”

"Of course he thinks so, the matter of the female school's side is also his approval of my help!"

When talking about Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying's face was full of happy smiles, and then she praised her fiancé Datong to Hong's family, not feeling that her behavior was showing off in front of the other two. As a result, Princess Yongping finally couldn't stand it anymore: "You are going to get married in November, and in the future, there will be times when you raise your eyebrows and respect each other, and it will not be too late to say love at that time!" ”

"A truly loving husband and wife are not a lady who respects each other like a guest, and is virtuous and virtuous with an eldest woman, and some girls are willing to be, but not me. I have already made it clear to Ah Shou that if he doesn't want me one day, just tell me that I will leave as soon as I am happy, and I will never be entangled. ”

Spring tour, apricot blossoms blow all over the head. Mo is young and romantic. The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life. Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed.

Hong couldn't help but read out this poem "Spring Tour of Sidi Township" in his heart, seeing Zhu Ying's bright and bright smile, the light was even a little dazzling, and seeing Princess Yongping's face full of haze, she finally understood why these two heavenly ladies never got along.

One is the sun hanging high in the sky, the other is the bright moon hanging in the night sky, the silent moon, the moment when it can hang in the air every day, only the short moment of dawn and dusk, which is incompatible with water and fire.

It was completely clear in her heart, the Hong family did not plan in vain to bridge the relationship between the two, with the relationship between the emperor and the Zhu family, but she still failed to reconcile the two, how could she have such a skill?

Therefore, she simply diverted the topic and sincerely discussed with the two of them various plans for women's studies, and when Zhu Ying proposed to meet those female masters, she looked at the sky, but readily agreed. Princess Yongping was indispensable, and she was fine in the palace anyway, so she simply agreed.

So, these three people with very different identities and experiences visited the three female masters in the inner city that Zhu Ying had invited. Even with Princess Yongping's pickiness, she has to admit that these three girls who have participated in the selection of the prince's concubine are indeed generous and have outstanding knowledge. But she didn't want to admit that it was Zhu Ying's good vision, and only thought that it was because they had passed the primary election and re-election before.

When at dusk, Hong and Zhu Ying said goodbye and returned to the palace with Princess Yongping, they heard someone laugh: "In this world, some people have everything without hard work, and some people do everything they can but have nothing, does Hong Niangzi think this is fair?" ”
