Chapter 6: Another Princess
Ji Yan ran between Lingbaozhai and the inn for half a month, but then she didn't continue to come, because a big event suddenly happened in the city, the envoy of Nanwu Kingdom, arrived!
Qingzao knew about this news for a long time, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly, and when she and Ji Yan mentioned it by chance, Ji Yan was also very surprised. In this way, the green jujube is even more unexpected.
This concubine, isn't she the princess who is rumored to be coming?
Not really!
Regarding Ji Yan's identity, Qingzao has long been investigated, this is the second princess of Nanwu Kingdom, and there is no sweetheart so far, and it is rumored that the princess who came to Nanwu this time is the meaning of harmony.
There are 3 princesses in Nanwu, the eldest princess has already been married, but the little princess is the treasure in the palm of the emperor of Nanwu, and she can't wait to give her all the treasures in the world.
The most important thing is that the mother of the little princess Ji Ya is a woman from Beiyan in her homeland, and it is said that she went to the border because she pretended to be her brother to go to the battlefield.
Later, Ji Ya's mother returned to China to stop the civil strife, but suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and after Emperor Nanwu searched for no result, he was depressed for a long time, but in the end, a mysterious person sent back to the little princess, and it was precisely because of this that he was completely sober!
Now, what did Ji Yan not expect, what happened to him?
The next day, Bai Qi put the news on the desk of Qingzao, and at this time, the envoys of Nanwu arrived in the capital in half a month. Qingzao opened the note, and it was written on the top of the note, Nanwu is in turmoil, and the prince has seized power!
At this time, Ji Yan also had a headache, she and the prince's mother were compatriots, and this brother was very sorry for herself, and she couldn't see that she was wronged at all, just take Ji Ya's bell as an example, although her father also gave her a reward, but the prince's brother was obviously unhappy, and three days later, he directly gave himself a unique ice sword.
If you want to say that the prince's brother usurped the throne for his own power, Ji Yan still believes it! Not only Ji Yan, but also Uncle Wu Ma and nephew believe it!
"Little uncle, are we going back?" Wu Maling frowned, "How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince make a sudden move at this time?" We've discussed it before! ”
Wu Ma Heng looked at Ji Yan and sighed: "I'm afraid the Lord has made a new decision!" ”
"That can't be ......" Wu Maling looked at Ji Yan, after all, he didn't say the word usurpation, but everyone present understood!
Ji Yan thought about it carefully, and then said affirmatively: "Brother Prince, since he has always been a man of words, since he promised to let me take a look first, he will definitely not regret it, I'm afraid it's something else, or I'm sure I can't go back!" ”
Although they guessed, the three of them still didn't know what was going on, and the most troublesome thing was that the spies who were supposed to come back yesterday did not return on time.
And at this moment, the palace is also messy, Lin Chen'an never imagined that before the matter of Wan Guiren is over, someone dares to drug himself, and the most important thing is that the method is exactly the same!
Looking at the person kneeling on the ground in front of him, Lin Chenan couldn't figure it out, he was obviously paying attention, why he was tricked again. While his face was calm, the imperial doctor was busy applying needles to relieve him.
Lin Chen'an thought, apart from her, women are really dirty and terrible!
Qiao Yanran, who heard the palace maid's return, was a little disdainful, this group of women is probably crazy, is it really so easy to be an emperor? Wan Guiren has the support of the Queen Mother behind her, but this concubine who has no background dares to follow suit, it seems that killing chickens and monkeys is inevitable.
Opposite her, the noble concubine sat quietly, and when she heard the news, she didn't seem to hear it, Qiao Yanran was a little embarrassed: "You really don't care at all!" ”
"Why should Niangniang joke, if you want to say that you don't care, this harem, who can cross Niangniang!" The noble man put down the tea in his hand and returned: "It's just ......"
Halfway through speaking, she smiled and shook her head, and Qiao Yanran didn't plan to ask more, so she sent the little eunuch to continue to inquire about the news.
In the harem, it's just a little fun!
That day, Lin Chen'an was very angry, when the people in his palace were busy in a mess, there were still people who dared to come to see the excitement, of course he knew that only that person dared to be so blatant, was he really without a temper?
Just when he was about to punish the little eunuch, Qiao Yanran suddenly came, Lin Chenan glanced at her coldly, and continued to look at the two people kneeling below.
"Assassinate Your Majesty? Did you eat leopard gall? Is this really an ornament? Qiao Yanran walked past the group of people on the ground and sat on the chair on the left side of the emperor.
Concubine Shu knelt on the ground and wondered, why did this one come suddenly, she just saw that there was no one in charge of the harem, so she dared to be so blatant, she was originally thinking, maybe this person would come over to add fuel to the fire!
Look at the emperor again, what's going on with that smirk? Do you dare to have no more interest?
"Dignified concubine, don't lead by example, learn some subordinate means, according to the palace, you also occupy the position of concubine, in a few months, it will be the New Year, you will go to Xinzhiku to help!" When she said this, Qiao Yanran didn't even glance at the emperor.
At this time, it is close to late autumn, and at this time, the library of those who have been punished by Xin, I am afraid that I don't want to see the sun next year.
Concubine Shu bit her lip and leaned down on the ground: "The concubine is guilty, but please look at the concubine's father's face and let the concubine ...... this time."
In fact, although there is no support from the Queen Mother, there is still a reason why Concubine Shu dares to do this, since the establishment of the new dynasty, his father has been reused, and if he is punished at will, there will inevitably be turmoil in the court.
"You don't say I haven't remembered yet!" Lin Chen'an said lightly: "What a good scholar of the Ministry of Rites, he actually taught such a daughter, according to me, he is the most unruly person in the world!" ”
Hearing this, Concubine Shu was a little shocked, is this going to be punished even with her father? Isn't he afraid?
Different from Concubine Shu's shock, Qiao Yanran was holding back a smile in her heart at this time, what is a pig-like teammate? The emperor himself wants to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and the palace concubine drugs the emperor, and if she doesn't punish him severely, will she still promote unhealthy trends? The more favored the mother's family is in the court, the more obvious the shock becomes, and there is even something that she sends up.
That time, even the queen mother did not come to intercede, but on the day when the emperor gave the wine, the imperial doctor suddenly reported that Concubine Shu was 1 month pregnant, and Lin Chen'an's face was even worse.
Before the arrival of the Nanwu envoys, the family of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was exiled by the house, and what people did not expect was that a large number of gold, silver and jewelry were found when the house was raided.
The court was in turmoil, but the people only knew that a corrupt official had been investigated and punished!
In the midst of the chaos, the Nanwu envoy finally arrived!
"The princess has come from afar, and she has worked hard all the way!" Ding Hai led the post station guards to bow and salute, "Your Majesty Ding Hai, I respectfully invite the princess to get off the car and rest!" ”
Ding Hai is also unlucky, he is just a small official of the Ministry of Rites, after the previous Shangshu was executed, it was not his turn to take the position, but the gang led by the general Biao Cavalry and the prime minister in the court openly recommended their own people, and the emperor was not a vegetarian, so he pulled out a small white flower from a pool of sludge.
So there was a situation where he took office on the first day and received envoys on the second day, but fortunately, Ding Hai usually experienced some big scenes, otherwise it would be really hard to say!
A gorgeous carriage slowly stopped in front of the post station, the young man riding next to the carriage took a few steps forward to open the door, and there was a layer of translucent purple veil inside the door, if Qingzao was here, she must know, this is the legendary shark silk, the size of a handkerchief is already worth a thousand gold, and this princess is actually used to decorate the carriage!
But unfortunately, Ding Hai didn't know him, so he thought that this was Nanwu's unfavored second princess. But he didn't mean to despise him, no matter how unfavored people were, he was also a princess, right?
In the carriage, a white hand slowly stretched out and took the hand handed by the young man, while the other hand gently opened the purple veil, and for a while, everyone held their breath.
"Is this Beiyan?" The moment Ji Ya spoke, Ding Hai clearly felt that the people behind him were trembling, he forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said: "The princess is wrong, Beiyan has perished, and now the country is called Qi!" ”
"That's it!" Ji Ya said casually: "I haven't heard of it!" ”
The corners of Ding Hai's eyes twitched, haven't you heard of it? So what are you here for?
"Please take a break at the post station, and after three days, Your Majesty will set up a banquet for the princess to catch the wind and wash the dust!" After Ding Hai sent people in, he couldn't wait to retire.
Ji Ya didn't care, she just asked the young man next to her: "Wei Zhi, you say, where will the second sister be?" ”
The young man named Wei Zhi didn't answer, but just turned over the teacup on the table and poured a cup of tea for her.
"Mother, where will it be?"
On the other side, Ding Hai immediately returned to the palace and returned the matter to the emperor as it was, and it happened that the queen mother was also in the imperial study, and before the emperor could react, the queen mother had already swept the teacup to the ground: "What a princess of Nanwu who doesn't know the height of the sky!" ”
Three days later, the Imperial Garden held a banquet to entertain the envoys, an occasion that did not require the Queen Mother, but she still came, on the contrary, the Queen who was supposed to appear was nowhere to be seen.
"The princess came all the way and worked hard all the way." The Queen Mother sat on a high position, looked at the people sitting below and greeted: "I don't know what the princess is not comfortable with?" ”
"Don't bother the Queen Mother, there is no discomfort." Ji Ya bowed slightly and replied.
"Even so, let's go around the capital more in the past few days, we have always been prosperous, and those small countries are different after all!"
In fact, it is really inappropriate for the Queen Mother of a country to say such a thing, but Ji Ya seems to have expected it a long time ago: "I heard that the Queen Mother traveled all over the great rivers and mountains in her early years, she must have heard of a place and a custom, and the capital of your country must have thought that the folk customs in other places are more expansive!" ”
The early years of the Queen Mother? Everyone on the spot was stunned and secretly sweated.
This Nanwu princess really dares to say anything!
