Why Wang Lanping did this, no one knows, even Fang Ling doesn't know, everyone just says that it is the pleasure of the prime minister, and Wang Lanping's real intention is to let Fang Ling penetrate into the hearts of the people, and cultivate Fang Ling's prestige step by step from now on, this is not only for the peace and order of the house, he also has another plan, but no one knows.

Since it is the joy of taking concubines, many of the etiquettes of big weddings are omitted one by one, and the prime minister's concubine is also a concubine, there is no three media and six appointments, and there is no three-worship ceremony.

However, Wang Lanping did not do this, holding Fang Ling swaggering in such a circle, and hugged her straight to the ancestral tablet of the Wang family in the main hall.

Wang Lanping put Fang Ling down, took her hand that was still a little trembling, and pointed to the ancestral tablet in front of all the guests present, "Madam, worship the ancestors of the Wang family, you are the daughter-in-law of my Wang family, come, follow me to tell the ancestors, the Wang family has added people to import."

Fang Ling couldn't believe that when the concubine was considered a daughter-in-law, she was obviously just a high-level subordinate.

The guests were also very surprised, they had never heard that taking a concubine was so complicated, and it was not in line with etiquette, Prime Minister Wang Cheng was really not a person, and he loved to do amazing things in everything.

After worshipping the ancestors, the banquet officially began, and the temporarily invited troupe also played and sang to add a wine to everyone's wine, Wang Lanping led the bride to toast and thank the people one by one in front of the table, and from time to time he also scolded a few words with the rough men, as if a nouveau riche had just accepted the tenth aunt's wife, without the slightest demeanor of the prime minister.

Fang Ling is out of the limelight today, wherever she goes, her husband will introduce her one by one, all of them are people in power, from the second-rank military generals to the fourth-grade civil servants, everyone nods to her, this dignity is really better than the queen of the country.

After a salute, everyone's wine rose, and they pushed the cup to change the lamp, and Wang Lanping sent someone to send Fang Ling back to the new house.

Fang Ling officially became the second wife of Dingguo Gong, and the new house was also moved to the middle courtyard where Wang Lanping lived, although it was not the same room, but lived next door, because the matter was a temporary decision today, but the new house was also furnished quite festively, the house had made a lot of preparations for the wedding of the prime minister and the Zheng family, and it was a month before the wife entered the house, so these things were temporarily used on Fang Ling, and the only thing that did not move was the most luxurious wedding room in the house prepared for the Zheng family girl.

Fang Ling, whose face was slightly red, came to the middle courtyard with the support of the four maids, accompanied by red lanterns full of festive colors all the way, and just entered the main building of the middle courtyard, but saw Yun Niang and Du Ningning standing in the door at some point, one on one side, and they looked very respectful.

As soon as they saw Fang Ling coming in, the two of them hurriedly squatted together, "I've seen Madame"

Fang Ling was stunned, how dare she accept this gift, and hurriedly said, "Two sisters, don't make fun of me"

Du Ningning chuckled, waved his hand and said to the maids, "It's none of your business, we will serve your master tonight."

The four of them didn't dare to move, and set their eyes on Fang Ling.

"Didn't you hear, Sister Du asked you to go"

"Yes!" Only then did the four maids retire.

Du Ningning said with envy, "This identity has changed, nothing is different, people have to look at your face and do things, we don't talk anymore."

Fang Ling hurriedly explained, "Sister Ning Ning, don't say that, no one in this mansion dares to disrespect you, it's strange to say, what the prime minister did today really made me a little overwhelmed" Fang Ling hurriedly forked the topic.

Yun Niang said, "Isn't this exactly what you've always dreamed of, and today I finally got my wish."

Yes, since the day he entered the mansion, Fang Ling knew that there was such a person in this world as Yun Niang who worried about Prime Minister Wang, time flies, but he didn't expect to let himself get ahead of the curve.

Fang Ling said modestly, "Sister Yun, the prime minister's heart is always on you, the name is only useful to my sister and me, you two don't need these, the prime minister is sincere to you."

Who would have thought that the three women could get along so peacefully at this time, even Fang Ling was a little surprised, after all, he had a reputation, just the two of them were nothing, and it would definitely be a matter of breaking his head if he was an ordinary person.

But Fang Ling didn't know that in fact, the two of them were waiting for her here because Wang Lanping confessed, the purpose was to take responsibility and tell everyone in the mansion that Fang Ling was right in this mansion.

After chatting for a while, the front yard was still full of people, Wang Lanping was also delayed, and the hour was not early, Du Ningning and Yun Niang were tired, and they chatted for a while and went back to the backyard.

In the new house, the red candles were shining, and Fang Ling, who was wearing a red satin cotton robe, sat alone on the edge of the bed, listening to the sound of the front yard in anticipation.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard the sound in the front yard getting quieter, Fang Ling sneaked to the door several times and peeked out through the crack in the door, but the husband still didn't appear.

The banquet was dispersed, and all the guests left one after another, taking advantage of today's incident, Wang Lanping saw a big thing clearly, and there was no need to be so extravagant about taking concubines, but only Wang Lanping knew about the rest of the matter.

Du Ningning of the Prime Minister's Mansion had a dispute with the queen in the palace and the matter has been spread to the gods, those princes and upstarts in Nanjing City took the opportunity to start an incident and pointed the finger at Wang Lanping, and the secret agents of Jinyiwei also collected information out of nowhere, and the people's remarks seemed to be all on the side of the queen, in the end, it was a figure of heaven, no matter how Wang Lanping's governance was beneficial to the people, in the eyes of the people, the royal family was always royal, and this was difficult to change.

Public opinion can't be fought for a while, there are also court power and military power, all those who come today are people with military positions, and Wang Lanping, who didn't come, also wrote them down one by one, when the whole city denounces himself, it is easier to distinguish who is really the one with his heart, especially that Qian Xiaole's uninvited come, which makes Wang Lanping look at each other even more.

The guests dispersed one by one, facing the front hall full of messes, Wang Lanping sat alone, closed his eyes silently.

After a while, the guard came over and arched his hand, "Prime Minister, it's all been investigated, a total of twenty-seven generals have not arrived, and the list is written down one by one."

Wang Lanping opened his eyes, nodded, didn't make a sound, got up and walked to the middle courtyard, walked a few steps and stopped, turned back to the method and said, "Send the gift box sent by Qian Shangshu to my room."

Wang Lanping drank a lot today, but he didn't get drunk yet, but his steps were a little messy, and he had to go up to help him when he saw that he was busy.

"No need, you can send your things to my room and go to sleep, nothing more to you do"

Step by step, Wang Lanping walked towards the candlelit new house in the middle courtyard, Fang Ling must be waiting for her, it really shouldn't be, for Du Ningning's matter, there are some factors that take advantage of it, which is unfair to her.

Wang Lanping walked a few steps, and then looked at the moon gate of the black hole in the backyard, and it was dark where Yun Niang and Du Ningning were.

The footsteps outside the house made Fang Ling excited again in her restless waiting, and even a little flustered, she could hear that it was her husband's footsteps, the steps were messy, and the voice was heavy.

"Prime Minister!" This is the voice of the maid at the door.

"It's none of your business, let's all go down"

Chirping! The door was pushed open, and Wang Lanping's figure swayed straight to his body.

Fang Ling, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, hurriedly walked over and helped her, "Husband, I'm so unhappy today, I've never seen you drunk."

Wang Lanping looked at her drunken eyes, her red face was so charming, when she stepped forward, Wang Lanping hugged her in his arms, and before the door was closed, he kissed her on the face like a cat, and said casually, "Drunk?" Sprinkle is not intoxicating, talent is really intoxicating, seeing you and I am really drunk like in the clouds, haha"

Fang Ling's face was red, fortunately, she had been hugged by him before, she was used to it, and she was not restrained at the moment, and she was about to close the door while helping him.

But I didn't expect that there was a person standing outside the door at this time, who was snickering there, and when I looked closely, it was my own brother.

"You, why are you here?" Fang Ling was a little angry and glared at his brother.

The method couldn't help but smile and handed over the gift box in his hand, "This is what the prime minister wants, I put it here, I won't bother you, retire, madam!" ”

This lady's method was particularly attention-grabbing, and Fang Ling opened her mouth, meaning you go quickly.

Wang Lanping let go of Fang Ling at this time, took the gift box from her hand, and walked to the table.

Fang Ling hurriedly closed the door of the room, and didn't look at what her husband was doing, walked to the side of the bed, made the bed and folded the quilt.

The gift box didn't weigh much, as if there was nothing in it, Wang Lanping shook it and opened it.

Sure enough, it was empty inside, there was nothing, Wang Lanping was a little surprised, where did Qian Xiaole sing, when people came to the ceremony, they didn't even drink the wedding wine, but only left an empty gift box.

I couldn't figure it out for a while, so Wang Lanping sat there quietly, staring at the empty box, drunkenness swelled up, and even his eyes were a little confused.

Seeing him like this, Fang Ling walked over, "Xiangye, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Lanping raised his head and wondered, "What tricks does he play?" This sentence doesn't seem to be asking Fang Ling, but like asking yourself.

Fang Ling also noticed that there was nothing inside, it shouldn't be, there were still people who dared to play tricks, she thought about it while taking the gift box and looking at it carefully.

The gift box is made of cardboard in a boxy shape, with a red paper pasted on the outside, and there is nothing missing, but the careful Fang Ling soon found that the paper at the bottom is somewhat different from the stickers around it, and one corner is rolled up.

She hurriedly reached out to tear the corner of the rolled, but before she could use it, the paper had already been lifted by her, and when she looked at it, there were words.

"Xiangye, look!" Fang Ling's face was happy.

Wang Lanping hurriedly took it, only to see a few lines written on it, as if it was a poem:

Hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup,

The wind of the water hall comes to the pearl and the fragrance of the pearl;

Who is the fan who covers the autumn fan,

The moon hangs in the sky and waits for the king.

Wang Lanping read it silently a few times, although he had gone through the military books and war strategies of the past dynasties, he really didn't have too much dabbling in poetry and songs, and he couldn't even fully understand the meaning of the poem.

"Look, what does that mean?" Fang Ling is a talented woman, she will definitely be able to understand.

Fang Ling just took a cursory look, and his face turned pale.

"Tell me, what do you mean?" Wang Lanping could see from her sudden change in expression that there must be something strange in this poem.

Wen Ling sorted out his mood, tried to be as peaceful as possible, did not speak, just turned around and put the paper on the candle flame, and when the fire lit up, the paper turned to ashes.

Wang Lanping didn't stop her, just waited quietly, Wen Ling handled things in an orderly manner, and she must have her opinion on doing so.

Fang Ling sat down next to him, "Xiangye, this poem was written by the great poet Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty, written about a beautiful palace maid in a sleepless autumn night, waiting for the king to come to the Qing Palace, dare to ask Xiangye, who sent this gift box?" ”

Wang Lanping was puzzled, how could the dignified criminal department Shangshu send this poem for no reason, and it was not his masterpiece, and the poems sent to the predecessors were called theft between the literati poems and songs, which was very indecent.

But when he turned his head and thought about it again, could it be that he wanted to say something that was difficult for him to say through the mouth of the ancients? What exactly was he trying to say? It seems that only Fang Ling can understand it thoroughly.

"It was sent to a senior officer, what do you see?"

When Fang Ling heard this, the look on his face was even more nervous, and after thinking about it, he suddenly got up from his seat and fell to the ground.

"You, what are you doing here?" Wang Lanping was confused and hurriedly pulled her up.

Fang Ling said nervously, "If this poem is placed elsewhere, it would be defenseless, but it appeared here, and it was sent by a senior member of the court, that, that"

"What, don't bother?"

"Concubine, concubine dare not say"

"Say"

"Persuade!" Fang Ling mustered up his courage, and he didn't dare to come out after speaking.

What is persuasion, to put it bluntly, is to be called the emperor, the prime minister goes further, is there any other way out except to replace the Son of Heaven?

Wang Lanping's face also changed greatly, and he stood up and muttered, "Persuade? This, he's too bold, right, you can't be mistaken, right? ”

Fang Linghua's face was pale, but he quickly calmed down, "As far as the concubine knows, the great poet Wang Changling wrote this poem, on the surface, it was written about the palace maid's treatment of the king in the palace, but he was actually writing himself, he was degraded by the Tang Emperor in the field when he wrote this poem, and he was full of talent and nowhere to display, and at this time he was more than one hundred and a half years old, if the Tang Emperor did not call him back to Beijing, I am afraid that he would no longer be able to serve the court in this life, so Wang Poet took this poem to express his aspirations, hoping that one day the Tang Emperor could think of such a courtier who was dedicated to the court in the field."

Wang Lanping nodded, he is a poet with ideals, but there is nothing wrong with this, how can he see that 'persuasion' is coming.

Fang Ling continued, "The concubine is not presumptuous, there is another interpretation of this poem, the person who sent the poem compares himself to that Wang Changling, waiting to be discovered by the king from thousands of people, so as to show his talent, if the concubine is not mistaken, the person who sent this poem must have been very close to Xiangye before, but Xiangye has snubbed him recently, yes or no?" ”

Wang Lanping lowered his head and thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, Qian Xiaole was specially invited from Hangzhou last year, and when Wang Lanping came to Nanjing for the first time, it was Qian Xiaole who made a bold move with him with one heart and one mind, without a trace of complaint, and had been serving in the Criminal Department.

Recently, due to the fact that most of the political affairs are military intelligence and new policies, the Criminal Department really has nothing to do, and I have hardly looked for him, and most of the state affairs have been handled by Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Households.

"Even if this is the case, how can there be such a thing as 'persuasion'?" (To be continued.) )
