The king of the East China Sea has had less contact with outsiders recently, and the news is not so well-informed, so he sent away Mrs. Ping Enhou, returned to the back house and asked the Tan family: "Have you heard of the Wang Cuilian favored by the Queen Mother?" ”

Tan's attitude was much better than yesterday, and he immediately replied: "Of course, although she is not a wife, all women have to please her, just to have a relationship with the Queen Mother." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info actually a long-tongued woman who gossiped everywhere. It is said that she has been a matchmaker in the countryside for many years and can speak well, so she is quite popular with the Queen Mother, and now she has not forgotten her old business, and often says goodbye to the nobles' families. ”

The King of the East Sea smiled: "Have you ever flattered her?" ”

Tan's face turned cold, "Although our Tan family is not very expensive, but she still needs some face, and if she wants me to please her, she is not worthy." After a pause, she said again: "Besides, in your case, everyone guards us like a thief, and Mrs. Pingenhou occasionally comes to the door, who else can I please?" ”

The king of the East China Sea smiled and said nothing, thinking in his heart, how can he see Wang Cuilian, it is definitely not possible to come to the door in person, it is really unreasonable for the princes to meet the people's women, and Wang Cuilian may not be at home.

The King of the East China Sea looked at the Tan family with an annoyed face, had an idea, and said with a smile: "You're right, how can our family please a matchmaker?" We'll have to let her please us. ”

Tan stared at her husband coldly, "Are you crazy?" ”

"Me? Of course I'm not crazy, no, I'm a little crazy, since everyone else is guarding us like thieves, then let's just be a thief - you send someone to ask for the funeral of Mrs. Wang. ”

"She's not dead, what's the funeral?" Tan asked in surprise.

"Then you will know, send someone, and say—what do you call her?"

"Aunt Wang." Tan said with a look of disgust.

"'I heard that Aunt Wang's death is not long, and the princess of the East China Sea sent me to greet her.' ”

Tan Shi became more and more surprised, and was stunned for a moment, "Why do you use my name?" ”

"You're all women, and I don't know her, so you've always met, right?"

Tan thought for a while, "Are you trying to force the matchmaker to come to the door to ask for the guilt?" ”

The King of the East China Sea nodded with a smile, "You don't need to ask more, if you ask me to solve the problem, just follow my method, and when my big problem is solved, the small problems of the Tan family will naturally be solved." ”

Tan Shi glanced at her husband a few times, "It's done, you are the head of the family, if you can't do it, see how I clean you up." ”

The next morning, the servant woman sent by the Tan family was scolded back, and her face was still red when she got home, "Princess, we have offended people this time, Aunt Wang is not there, the people in her family are not easy to mess with, she dares to scold any dirty words, and she almost starts beating people." ”

The servant woman had palpitations, Tan was also a little nervous, but the king of the East China Sea was useless, sitting at home and waiting for the response, that afternoon, Feng Ju and Yuan Jiuding came again, pulling east and west, coercing and seducing in the hint, the king of the East China Sea should not understand, greet each other with a smile, send each other with a smile.

Wang Cuilian came in the evening, riding in a small sedan chair, and a mother-in-law who accompanied her shouted to the janitor: "Where is your princess? Let her come out, Aunt Wang has something to ask! ”

Wang Cuilian is in her forties, with a mean face, she looks quite kind when she is smiling, and when she is covered with frost, she looks like she wants to eat people.

The servant welcomed Wang Cuilian into the main hall, and the Tan family came out to greet him, apologizing vigorously, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, didn't the king of the East China Sea just come back from Luoyang, I don't know what I heard over there, I actually ...... In short, it's a misunderstanding, Aunt Wang must not take it to heart. ”

Wang Cuilian looked suspicious, "The King of the East China Sea can also hear about me in Luoyang?" ”

Tan said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, who everyone knows and everyone knows, where is there no news of you?" ”

Wang Cuilian's momentum disappeared a little, "You let the King of the East China Sea come out to see me, I want to listen to his explanation." ”

The King of the East China Sea had already prepared, and as soon as he entered the hall, he smiled and said, "I'm so sorry for making such a big misunderstanding." ”

Wang Cuilian was just an ordinary woman, but she didn't stand up in the face of the princes, and said arrogantly: "It is said that the king of the East China Sea is much smarter, and he really deserves his reputation." ”

"I've won prizes, where did I get my cleverness? I'm not smart at all. ”

"Well, if you were really smart, you wouldn't just be a prince." Wang Cuilian poked the sore spot of the East China Sea King.

The king of the East China Sea did not take the bait, and still smiled: "The princes are very good, they have no regrets in this life, but it is Aunt Wang's ......" The king of the East China Sea looked at it carefully, and it was not very polite.

Wang Cuilian became more and more annoyed, "What did you hear in Luoyang, you actually cursed me to death?" ”

Tan stood aside and watched, wanting to see how her husband dealt with the famous and difficult Aunt Wang.

"Aunt Wang is testing me, right? How could Aunt Wang, who is well-informed, not hear about such a big thing? ”

Wang Cuilian had three points of doubt in her heart before she came, and then it increased to five points, "I'm a common person, and I'm not well-informed at all, so I heard you chewing your tongue alone." ”

"Aunt Wang really doesn't know?"

"Don't play tricks, just say if you have something to say, this is the capital, make trouble, I'm not afraid of you." Wang Cuilian was a little weak-hearted.

The king of the East China Sea frowned slightly, "Oh no, then I made a big mistake, Aunt Wang, please forgive me for my unintentional mistake, I apologize to you, if you are not satisfied, I will personally come to the door tomorrow to apologize and send a generous gift to apologize." ”

The more the king of the East China Sea didn't want to say, the more curious and worried Wang Cuilian became, the mother-in-law who came with her was not very interesting, misunderstood the meaning of the master, and said: "Okay, you are the king of the East China Sea, now you know that you have softened, just apologize?" Think beautifully, tell you ......"

"Get out." Wang Cuilian shouted.

The mother-in-law was startled, couldn't hold it back, said "tell you" again, and then withdrew from the main hall with a flushed face.

"I can talk about it this time." Wang Cuilian understood the scruples of the King of the East China Sea.

The king of the East China Sea arched his hand and asked, "Aunt Wang is about to have a catastrophe, and she really doesn't know anything about it?" ”

"I don't know, I'm just chatting with the Queen Mother and catching up on the old days, where did the disaster come from?"

"The sin is not in people, but in things." The king of the East China Sea stepped forward, this was the palace, but he was like a guest, "Wang Pingyang's fate, Aunt Wang should have heard about it, right?" ”

"Cutting official positions, assigning frontiers, and never using them, but what does this have to do with me? Although they are all surnamed Wang, they are not a family, Wang Pingyang is a relative, what am I? ”

"Wang Pingyang said that he was a relative, and he was reluctant, right?"

"Well, he was a close friend later...... What do you say he's doing? Wang Cuilian was a little impatient.

"If it weren't for Aunt Wang's visit today, I would never have revealed half of it, but since you are here, I can't hide it anymore. Why did Your Majesty clean up Wang Pingyang? ”

"He's breaking the law."

"Yes, but it is not an unforgivable crime, the reason why Your Majesty is unwilling to tolerate it is for two reasons, one is to show the world that the king is selfless, even if it is a relative, and the other is to ...... Hey, let's say it in private, Aunt Wang won't spread the word, right? ”

"Of course, you go and ask, am I the kind of person who has a lot of tongues?"

"I believe in Aunt Wang." The King of the East China Sea put away his smile, "The second is to remind the palace not to interfere in the government again." ”

Wang Cuilian was stunned for a while, "The more you talk about this, the more you talk about it, the matter between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother has nothing to do with me." ”

The King of the East Sea shook his head solemnly, "No, it has a lot to do with it." His Majesty's handling of Wang Pingyang was to give the Queen Mother a reminder, but the Queen Mother obviously had a misunderstanding and seemed to be resentful of Her Majesty, Your Majesty was far away in Luoyang, and it was impossible for her to come back to explain in person, so she could only continue to remind the Queen Mother. ”

The King of the East China Sea stared at Wang Cuilian again, smiling meaningfully.

Wang Cuilian panicked, "This still has nothing to do with me." ”

"Wang Pingyang has been assigned to the frontier, who will Your Majesty take to remind the Queen Mother next? The closest relatives definitely can't, it will only anger the Queen Mother, and Your Majesty can't bear it, it has to be someone like Wang Pingyang, the Queen Mother cares more, but it is not to the point of being completely reluctant. ”

Wang Cuilian's face changed slightly, "Your Majesty...... Know me? ”

"What is there not to know about Your Majesty? The big and small affairs in the capital are reported to His Majesty every day, and His Majesty hides it and does not publish it, waiting for an opportunity. ”

Wang Cuilian's face turned pale, "I am more in love with the Queen Mother than sisters, and the Queen Mother will not ...... Never ......"

"As long as the Queen Mother is willing, she will definitely be able to keep Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang offends Luoyang because of this, is it worth it?"

Wang Cuilian's face changed, "What you said is true?" ”

The king of the East China Sea smiled: "Say it or not, believe it or not." ”

Wang Cuilian muttered: "You know, Your Majesty must also know, even if you don't know now, you will tell Your Majesty when you go back to Luoyang." ”

This matchmaker is not stupid, the king of the East China Sea has nothing to say, and glanced proudly at the Tan family on the side.

Tan's face was expressionless, but she admired her husband in her heart, and she was suddenly tender.

"What do you want me to do?" Wang Cuilian asked, no longer caring about the funeral.

"It's not that I think, it's Aunt Wang, what can you do."

"What can I do?" Wang Cuilian asked, running out of ideas.

"To find the source, Aunt Wang's danger stems from the poor relationship between His Majesty and the Queen Mother, if the mother and son can be harmonious, what is the danger of Aunt Wang? will also make meritorious contributions on both sides, and the status will be more stable. ”

"Let me persuade the Queen Mother to go to Luoyang?"

"For now, this is the only thing that can restore the relationship between the Queen Mother and Her Majesty."

Wang Cuilian pondered for a long time, then raised her head and said, "King of the East China Sea, you are the one who was ordered to welcome the Queen Mother, not me." ”

The King of the East China Sea nodded, "I am the one who obeys the order, but the meritorious person can be anyone." ”

"I don't want credit, as long as the Queen Mother is happy."

"If the Queen Mother is happy, Your Majesty will be happy, Your Majesty will be happy, and naturally there will be no more right and wrong." The king of the East Sea did not mention himself.

Wang Cuilian stood up, and finally squeezed out a smile on her face, "You are really a smart person, but you have found the wrong person, King of the East China Sea." ”

"I don't feel like I'm looking for the wrong person." The King of the East Sea also smiled.

"I'm really just chatting with the Queen Mother, and there are other people who prevent the Queen Mother from going to Luoyang."

"Who?"

"The King of the East China Sea also has times when he is not smart, of course he is the one who is in charge of the capital."

"Be in charge in the capital...... Prime minister? "The King of the East China Sea couldn't believe that Zhuo Ruhe had always been loyal to the emperor.

Wang Cuilian said with a smile: "Men are like this, thinking that those in charge are men." Don't ask me, ask the princess. In short, I don't make trouble, if the king of the East China Sea can open up the joints, I am willing to persuade the queen mother to say a few words. ”

Wang Cuilian did not say goodbye and strode away.

The King of the East China Sea was puzzled instead, and asked the Tan family, "If it's not the prime minister, who else can it be?" It can't be the Queen Mother herself, right? ”

Tan has woken up, "It's a princess." ”

"Which princess?"

"Of course it's the princess of the Zhuo family, don't you forget that the prime minister is also a concubine." (To be continued.) )
