Canglang Pavilion

The eunuchs from the capital sent a set of crimson court clothes to Fang Yuan and Zhu Cihuan, a cyan old brocade robe, of which the crimson court robe was for Fang Yuan, and the cyan old brocade robe was for Zhu Cihuan, the king of Wuyue, and did not leave any holy decree or oracle.

Fang Yuan knew that since Chongzhen didn't even have a word, he was playing dumb riddles.

Chongzhen is not an emperor who likes to play dumb riddles, but he is an emperor with an excellent face, and he usually has difficult words to say, such as giving Kunxing a marriage, all of which are brought by Wang Chengen. The reason why this kind of dumb riddle is played at the moment should be that there are hidden words in the two clothes that cannot be explicitly said in the oracle, and the decree can only be pronounced by playing dumb riddles.

Fang Yuan was not a master of guessing dumb riddles like Yan Song and Yan Shifan, so he could only find his cronies Qin Zhan, as well as the long history of Wuyue Wangfu, and began to discuss countermeasures.

Zhu Cihuan, Mao Bijiang, and Qin Zhan have been staring at the two pieces of clothes that Chongzhen suddenly sent from the capital, all speculating about the hints.

Zhu Cihuan spoke first, "Teacher, Changshi, I think my father gave me this old brocade robe, which should be a reminder that I should be diligent and thrifty in Jiangnan, and the use of the palace must not be extravagant and wasteful, and I can't indulge in the world of flowers and flowers in Jiangnan!" ”

Fang Yuan denied this statement after a little muttering, "If Your Majesty is such a simple meaning, you can make it clear in your oracle, why bother playing any dumb riddles?!" ”

Zhu Cihuan nodded and was taught, and took the liberty to carefully compare the color and pattern of the brocade robe, with a dragon on his shoulders, nine chapters, with his vision of the Ming etiquette, he saw the clues, and suddenly said, "This is a brocade robe in the style of the prince, it seems that the prince has given His Majesty three twists and turns, His Majesty is not satisfied, and the brocade robe sent to the prince is to remind the prince to keep the prince's duty!" ”

There was some basis for his guess, Zhu Cihuan looked depressed, and looked at Fang Yuan, who had come up with this idea.

Fang Yuan silently took the fragrant tea handed by Xiao Yuan.

Zhu Cihuan's performance was indeed pointed out by him behind his back, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to challenge Zhu Cihuan's position as the crown prince Zhu Cihong. Now that he has offended Queen Zhou and the crown prince, he can only go one way to the end, and there is no way back.

Fang Yuan was drinking tea, but he was secretly thinking to himself, Chongzhen sent a brocade robe with the specifications of the prince, really hinting that Zhu Cihuan should abide by his duty and not have the heart of arrogance?

If this is the solution to this puzzle, there is something out of place in it.

Seeing Zhu Cihuan's panicked appearance, Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Mao Changshi, don't scare the prince." If Your Majesty is thinking of this, it is enough to send a new prince's brocade robe, so why send an old one? Could it be that the palace is so poor that it can't even make a new brocade robe? ”

Mao Bijiang nodded, and it was indeed so reasonable, so he asked, "According to the opinion of the Fang Junmen, what does Your Majesty want to imply?" ”

Fang Yuan ordered Qin Zhan to stretch out the brocade robe and take a look at the size of the brocade robe.

Qin Zhan opened the shabby brocade robe rewarded by Chongzhen, compared to the size, the body is thin, larger than the size of King Yong and King Wuyue, but it is obviously not as strong as an adult, "Look at the size, it should be a teenager!" The texture is so shabby, the age is very far away, at least more than ten years! ”

"A young prince more than ten years old?"

Fang Yuan secretly speculated, suddenly suddenly, laughed and said, "That's right!" ”

Everyone still couldn't see the clue, and they all looked at him, waiting for his high opinion.

Fang Yuan saw that everyone hadn't guessed the joints yet, and said with a smile, "You guys guess, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, only two princes, King Yong and King Wu Yue, have only been canonized, who is this set of princely brocade robes born more than ten years old?" ”

After a reminder from Fang Yuan, he also came back to his senses and said loudly, "This is Your Majesty's own brocade robe!" ”

Fang Yuan patted the table and said happily, "Yes! This should be the prince's brocade robe left by His Majesty when he was the king! King Wu Yue, Your Majesty's reward for your King's brocade robe is to value you, and you should immediately fold it and thank Your Majesty for your reward. ”

Chongzhen gave Zhu Cihuan a brocade robe from the Xinwang period, the intention is already obvious, Chongzhen can go from King Xin to Emperor Daming, and Zhu Cihuan can of course also go from King Wuyue to Emperor Daming.

Fang Yuan's big gamble was right again.

Zhu Cihuan was overjoyed to take Chongzhen's brocade robe, and thanked Fang Yuan and Mao Bijiang respectfully, "If there is no teacher, Changshi's careful cultivation would not be where I am today." ”

The dumb riddle of Chongzhen's reward for the cyan brocade robe has been solved, and the rest is the dumb riddle of this scarlet court robe.

Fang Yuan's gaze fell on the crimson court clothes again, and the complement of the court suit, he could see at a glance that it was the Qilin complement.

Zhu Cihuan is familiar with the etiquette of court clothes, and the courtiers can only use the court clothes of the duke and marquis, and the first-class officials do not have this qualification, and the meaning of this court dress is about to come out, "Teacher, what my father rewarded you with is the court clothes of the captain of the horse!" Congratulations, teacher, my father has officially named you the captain of the horse! ”

Fang Yuan didn't have his excitement, there was no doubt that this court uniform was indeed the court uniform of the Captain of the Horses, but Chongzhen sent this court uniform of the Captain of the Horses, which was to simply tell Fang Yuan that he was now the Captain of the Horses?

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Why do you need to be so mysterious and secretive to canonize the concubine Duwei, and besides, where is there a reason to send the concubine's court clothes in advance before the wedding day arrives?" ”

Qin Zhan said, "Boss, I understand, Your Majesty sent this set of court clothes to the captain of the horse, implying that the boss should go back to the capital immediately to complete the marriage." ”

His guess had a certain basis, but Fang Yuan still vetoed it with his own words, "That's not right! If Your Majesty wants to summon me back to the capital to marry the princess, I should have a clear dictation, not such a child's play. ”

As a result, everyone once again fell into a state of confusion.

Qin Zhan was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this implying here?" ”

Fang Yuan walked around the court clothes of the concubine, and when he passed in front of Xiao Yuan, he smelled the fragrance emanating from her body, his eyes fell on Xiao Yuan's pink and flawless face, and suddenly said, "That's right! His Majesty is warning you to remember that you are already a lieutenant of the horses, and you must respect yourself between words and deeds, so as not to disgrace the royal family. ”

Everyone also came to their senses, and their eyes fell on Xiao Yuan. Chongzhen had obviously learned the information that Fang Yuan and Xiao Yuan slept together every day, and at least half of the brocade robe he was rewarded for her.

Xiao Yuan was in the eyes of everyone, and he also knew what was going on, so he was so aggrieved that he cried, and the tears fell on the brocade robe of the captain of the horse, "Childe, I ......"

Fang Yuan looked at her pitiful appearance, and was still reluctant to part with her in his heart. However, Chongzhen rewarded a court dress of the captain of the horse this time, just to warn Princess Kunxing, which can be regarded as extraordinarily generous. If Fang Yuan is reckless and eats and sleeps with Xiao Yuan all day long, next time Chongzhen sends a eunuch to reward Xiao Yuan with three feet of white silk, wine and the like, it will really be irreparable.

Chongzhen, the future father-in-law, actually came forward to stand on the field for his daughter and warned the concubine in Fang Yuan's mansion, Fang Yuan was also very helpless, so he could only focus on the overall situation and wronged Xiaoyuan. No one will investigate the intimacy between the two in private, but at least on the bright side, they must not sleep with Xiao Yuan again.

Fang Yuan sighed deeply and said, "Since Your Majesty has a will, Xiao Yuan, I will arrange a courtyard for you." From this day forward, you can move in! If you need to decorate your home and jewelry, you don't need to save money, just pick what you like and buy it. ”

He was forced to let Xiao Yuan move out of his own dormitory, so he could only spend more silver to compensate.

The stakes are very high, even if Xiao Yuan is unwilling, he doesn't dare to open his mouth to object, so he can only whimper and say, "Okay, everything is according to the son's orders!" ”

Xiao Yuan temporarily arranged to move out of the dormitory, but the stone in Fang Yuan's heart had not been put down, Princess Kunxing had not come to Suzhou Mansion yet, so many things had happened. One day, she married into the Fang family, so what did she do? With Kunxing's princess illness, Xiao Yuan will immediately become her first target, and I am afraid that there will be no peace in the house this time.

He sighed secretly, marrying a princess is just a dream of obscenity, the famous sons of the Tang Dynasty, and the children of the official eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty all avoid being a concubine, which is also human nature.

When you marry a princess and come back, you marry a Lafayette for at home. You can't beat, scold, or say a word to this princess's wife, let alone marry a concubine or something, and you have to look at the eyes of the old man behind her at every turn, it's really aggrieved!
