Men love beauties.

This is an immutable law.

If the mother concubine wants to stabilize her position, and if she wants to be different in front of her father, she has to rely on her father's favor for her mother. In this way, he can be looked down upon by his father, get those opportunities to establish prestige and reputation, and emerge!

Therefore, the things sent to the palace cannot be less, let alone delayed.

"Your Highness."

Wang De's voice sounded outside the door, and Duanmu Qing rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, "Come in." ”

Wang De came in quietly with a tray, "Your Highness, this is the ginseng soup prepared in the kitchen." ”

Duanmuqing lowered his eyes in annoyance.

Wang De straightened the tray in front of Mu Qing, "Your Highness, you have been busy with official business recently, you have not slept much, and you work hard every day, and your body can't stand it. ”

Glancing at the letter on the table, Wang De said dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness is still worried about Niangniang's affairs? What did those people do? ”

"It's not safe in Chengde anymore, I have to find a place close to the capital that won't be discovered."

At the beginning, he was worried about what those brothers would find, so he chose Chengde, and after the things were ready, they were sent to the palace quickly, so as not to delay the time of the concubine. But if you want to change places now, not to mention that it is not easy to find a place with the right distance, and safety is also a problem.

Although this matter was examined by the father as a child trafficking case, the brothers were not so easy to fool, especially the second child, who was at the scene at the time and saw everything, and with the second child's sense of smell, he would definitely bite him.

He can't make any more mistakes, otherwise, his father won't be able to protect him!

"Your Highness, since several Highnesses are staring at you, why don't you go back to the capital?"

"Back to the capital?"

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, the safest place is the most dangerous place. Since several highnesses are staring at us, we will simply go back to the capital and let them see it generously, and when they find that there is nothing, they will naturally not keep staring at us. ”

"Impossible," Duanmu Qing sneered, "Even if I don't do anything, they won't relax their surveillance of me." Over the years, we have tested each other, monitored each other, and until the end, no one has let down their vigilance. What's more, I got the stronghold back to the capital, in order to let those few people look at it generously, they couldn't make any moves, and delayed the affairs in the palace, what should I do? ”

Duanmu was calm and calm, and did not anger Wang De at all because his proposal was useless, which shows the weight of Wang De in his heart.

"This ...... Your Highness, what should I do then? There is no delay there. ”

"You reminded me," Duanmu Qing's eyes burned, as if he thought of something, "I can't come forward, someone can." ”

"Your Highness?" Wang Dehu looked at Duanmu Qing suspiciously.

Duanmuqing knocked on the bookcase, pointed to a certain piece of letter on it, and said: "Recently, my people have lost a lot, some of them were impeached by several brothers in the court, and some were demoted by my father because of unfavorable affairs. ”

Speaking of this, the ridicule on Duanmu Qing's mouth was even worse.

Several brothers really saw each other, taking advantage of his "fall from grace" in front of his father and the emperor, to attack his people. Fortunately, the position of these in the court is not important, and if it is folded, it will be folded, and it will not affect his layout.

But that doesn't mean he's not angry!

You must know that the situation in the court has been stalemate for so many years, and cultivating a person requires not only energy, but also opportunities.

It is a long process for those people in those positions to be pushed to the end and reactivated, and it will not affect his layout, but it will still have an impact on the situation between the DPRK and China.

As for those who were "unfavorable" and were demoted by their father, it was just a warning given to him by their father.

Several brothers wooed the ministers of the court, and the father could not have known at all, and the reason why he turned a blind eye was because their people were in a balanced situation in the court.

This is also what my father is happy to see.

Now, in order to give him a warning, the emperor transferred his people away, and this move also gave hope to his brothers, whose sense of smell was comparable to that of a hunting dog.

"What does His Highness mean......" Wang De vaguely guessed something, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly.

"Ming'er, 'Jinxiu' is going to send tribute to the palace, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Ming'er, you go to the Internal Affairs Office."

Wang De's expression froze, and he hurriedly responded.

Seeing Duanmuqing drink the ginseng soup, Wang Decai said: "Your Highness, Gu Jinzhen's side, Ming'er is going to give a dowry gift." ”

After speaking, he carefully checked the face of his master.

Seeing Duanmu Qing's eyebrows frowning slightly, Wang De's heart tightened.

Originally, it was just a temptation, but after confirming the master's mind again, Wang De had killing intent in his heart.

"So fast, the Marquis of Zhenyuan is in a hurry?" A snarky tone.

Wang De hurriedly replied: "I guess I'm afraid that there will be an accident on the Holy Side." ”

Duanmu Qing sneered, "Father is still too soft-hearted to dare to tear his face with the Marquis of Zhenyuan." In fact, with the relationship between his father and the Marquis of Zhenyuan, everyone knows it, why bother to shrink back for the sake of the so-called face? ”

Wang De's face was pale and he didn't dare to speak.

Over there, Duanmu Qing continued indifferently: "If you want to control the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Shen family, but also want to leave a good name for yourself, how can there be such a good thing? Just give a marriage, it is best to find out the news, but if you can't, it can also make Gu Jinzhen's side restless. But my father has been hesitant for the sake of that face. The daughters of those ministers can't be touched, the daughters of seven or eight officials abound, the concubines can't move, there are so many concubines, just choose one to marry. The father is worried that he will lose the heart of his courtiers, cut! ”

Duanmu Qing sneered, "Being able to solve problems for my father is an opportunity that these courtiers want to get by squeezing their heads, but my father wastes it." ”

Duanmu Qing shook his head regretfully, "My father, sometimes he is resolute, sometimes he is indecisive, he thinks too much, and he cares too much about face and reputation. He is the emperor, the son of heaven of the dynasty, whatever he says is what he says, what can those rumors do to the emperor? If my father had made a move earlier, he would not have dragged on until now and was in a dilemma. Now, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has married Gu Jinzhen, and if his father wants to intervene again, there is no chance. ”

Wang De didn't dare to answer.

Although His Highness seems to be dissatisfied with the Holy Lord, who knows if His Royal Highness is complaining that he has lost Qiao Lixi because of the delay of the Holy Lord?

His Royal Highness's attention to Qiao Yixi was far beyond interest.

Now, Qiao Lixi and Gu Jinzhen are involved, and His Royal Highness has a bright reason to contact Qiao Lixi and inquire about her news.

Wang De's heart was sour, fortunately, he still knew the proportions, and understood that even if there was no Qiao Lixi, there would be other women, in short, Qiao Lixi would be Gu Jinzhen's daughter-in-law in the future, and His Royal Highness would not disregard people.

It won't be a momentary thing.

"Father announced that Gu Jinzhen entered the palace today?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the Holy One summoned Gu Jinzhen in the imperial study, and after Gu Jinzhen left the palace, he brought a batch of Holy Rewards."

Duanmuqing nodded.

You don't have to think about it to know that those rewards are because Gu Jinzhen is going to get married, so they are made for outsiders to see.

"Does my father say anything else?"

"Back to Your Highness, this is not true, the Holy Lord did not say when Gu Jinzhen could be reinstated, nor did he say when he could return to Southern Xinjiang."

Back to southern Xinjiang?

The Queen Mother's birthday is less than a month away, how could my father let Gu Jinzhen return to southern Xinjiang at this time?

The father called the Marquis of Zhenyuan back, wasn't he worried that the Marquis of Zhenyuan and those vassal kings wanted to take this opportunity to make the frontier turmoil and chaos the dynasty?

Oh, my father doesn't want to think about it, even if the Marquis of Zhenyuan really wants to rebel, he will not choose it at this time, not to mention, the father knows that the Marquis of Zhenyuan will never be opposed.

Yes, although the father and emperor, even with a few of his brothers, were very jealous of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and they were eager to let this person and his Shen family army disappear, but they all knew that the Marquis of Zhenyuan would not rebel.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan is a pure minister, he will not stand in line, he is only loyal to the emperor, and in the future, no matter which prince sits in a high position, the Marquis of Zhenyuan is absolutely loyal. It stands to reason that everyone should be more reused by the emperor in this way.

Pity......

Duanmuqing shook his head.

As everyone knows, there are still four words in the world: "high merit covers the master".

As a courtier, the prestige of the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the imperial dynasty is too high, and the reputation among the people is too good, and the surrounding countries are also afraid of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Shen family, which has nothing to do with the old emperor and the heavy soldiers in the hands of the old emperor.

Such courtiers, whoever is the emperor wants to eradicate them.

"When is the wedding date?"

Duanmuqing's sudden question, Wang De was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has not yet been announced, and the post has not been distributed, but looking at the movement over there, it should be after the Queen Mother's birthday, close to the end of the year." ”

Duanmu Qing nodded slightly, "Let people prepare the congratulatory gift first, get it ready, show me first." ”

Wang De's heart sank.

The preparations for the Prince's Mansion before, he handled it single-handedly, His Royal Highness never meant to ask in person, this time, he was so concerned!

Tightening the hand in the sleeve, Wang De hurriedly responded.

Nearly a month before the Queen Mother's birthday, the four princes returned, which is also a major event in the capital.

There are not many heirs of the old emperor, there are only four princes and three princesses, which is considered a small number among the emperors in the history of the dynasty. Moreover, the old emperor was suspicious by nature, not only had an absolute desire to control the court, but also had a very strong desire to control his sons and daughters, which also made his children very low-key in their actions.

But what prince has no ambitions?

What prince doesn't expect to be in a high position in the future?

The more the old emperor suppressed his son, the more his son held his breath and wanted to overthrow him.

At present, among the several princes, the most smooth sailing is the third prince, and the second prince also faintly has the strength to compete with the third prince after exposing his ambitions.

No one knows when the second prince began to plan.

has always been the head of the eldest prince, even if the eldest prince is deposed from the position of the crown prince, the second prince is also defending the eldest prince everywhere. But in the blink of an eye, he has the strength to compete with the three princes!
