7-7 When the colt is in progress
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, this was in the inner courtyard of the palace, in front of so many royal guards and eunuchs, Liu Ziguang openly threatened to kill the whole family of the first rank of the dynasty, which was really incredible.
Hou Xun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react, he looked at Liu Ziguang in amazement, but Mrs. Hou understood it, she was shocked and angry, her eyes were black, and she fainted on the spot, fortunately, the little eunuch behind her supported her in time, otherwise she would have fallen to death, what kind of person is Hou Fangyu, that's there
The four princes of Jiangnan, known as the "Tyrannosaurus", encountered this kind of tough threat, Hou Gongzi would only rebound even more, he knew that the fight was not Liu Ziguang's opponent, but at this time, the momentum was broken, and he couldn't lose, so Hou Gongzi shook his forehead, squinted his eyes slightly, and deliberately put on an indifferent expression: "Hou is waiting for Zhenwu Hou to come and kill, and the soft neck is considered to be a bad breed surnamed Hou!" After that, Hou Fangyu recalled: "Father-in-law, please also be a witness, in case you go back to Niangniang and recruit Hou Mou to enter the palace and find no one, please ask Niangniang to find Hou Ye and ask for someone." "It's a good Hou Fangyu to play the tricks of the rivers and lakes, and he is more green-skinned than Liu Ziguang, but Liu Ziguang is not the kind of street hooligan who only scares people with empty words, and the dignified town Wuhou said that if you kill your whole family, you will kill your whole family, he once again forced Hou Fangyu to look at him and said word by word: "It's better to give up the attempt to be a colt, otherwise you and your whole family will regret what I said." Hou Fangyu snorted coldly and did not answer, Liu Ziguang turned to the group of eunuchs who sent the Hou family out: "Hou Gongzi, please be a witness, you have to listen carefully, what this Hou Ye said, you can learn it to this concubine in 1510, and that concubine heard it." A group of eunuchs were silent, a few timid legs and stomachs were turned, the eunuch who led the team was the leader of Niangniang's side, the eunuch thought he was favored, and he had the care of Father-in-law Wei, and he didn't take Liu Ziguang in his eyes, and this time he received five thousand taels of silver from the Hou family's filial piety, so he naturally wanted to help at the critical moment, only to see him wave the dust and said with a smile: "Zhenwu Hou said that the errand boy in our palace can't afford to scare the champion family like this, but the guests of the imperial concubine are likely to be relatives of the emperor in the future, and you are like this....I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Liu Ziguang looked the eunuch up and down a few times and said, "What do you care about the royal affairs, a eunuch?" Ben Hou's turn to do things to get your lesson? Which palace are you? What is your name? Do you understand the rules? The eunuch's surname was Xu, and he saw Liu Ziguang beating people on the way to the Hou Mansion to pass the decree, and he was also the one who reported to Nangong Niangniang, as the leader of Cining Palace, the eunuch was still a little powerful, but at this time, he was ridiculed by Liu Ziguang like this, and Eunuch Xu felt embarrassed, and stomped his foot fiercely: "Our family is Cining Palace, and Marquis Xu Rong, who serves Nangong Niangniang, has any advice, and goes directly to Niangniang and says that there is no need to scare our family here." After speaking, he said to Hou Shangshu's family: "Let's go." Hou Fangyu shook his chin at Liu Ziguang provocatively, and helped his mother away, Liu Ziguang looked at their backs viciously and hooked his fingers to the side.
"What do you command?" An Ouchi guard approached.
"Check the foundation of Eunuch Xu, Nangong Niangniang's side must be kept pure, we are not worried about inserting people, and we can't let others insert it." Liu Ziguang said coldly.
In Cining Palace, the three of Nangong Princess, Song Taifei and Mrs. Qian sat upright and talked about the marriage between Hou Fangyu and the eldest princess, the marriage of the ancient people paid attention to the life of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker generally did not have anything to do with the parties, so this conversation was carried out by avoiding Zhu Cheng.
"Is my sister still satisfied with Zhuangyuanlang?" Concubine Song picked up the teacup and asked slowly.
"This kid is good-looking, good-tempered, and has no choice but to learn." Nangong Niangniang nodded and spoke highly of Hou Fangyu.
"Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, I saw that His Royal Highness seems to be quite concerned about Hou Gongzi's injury, this marriage event always has to be matched by their young people..."Mrs. Qian was full of smiles on her face, looking very happy, she and Concubine Song are the matchmakers of the princess, if this marriage is successful, the relationship with the royal family will be closer in the future, and it is a rare political resource.
"If my sister is satisfied, you might as well tell the emperor as soon as possible, and let the emperor decree that Yucheng is a good thing, the eldest princess is eighteen years old after the New Year, and the eldest is not small. Concubine Song held a handkerchief and covered the corners of her mouth to eat and smile, as if she was as happy as she was getting married herself.
"Well, this matter is so decided, and when the time comes, you two sisters will be indispensable." Nangong Niangniang made a decision for her daughter, and when she was informed, the emperor officially entered the procedure.
The three of them talked for a while, and suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance: "The emperor has arrived." It turned out to be a routine daily routine for the emperor to ask his mother for peace, and when the time came, Concubine Song and Mrs. Qian hurriedly said goodbye, went out from the side door, and went back to Concubine Song's palace to continue to talk privately.
Here, Zhu Youxiao kowtowed to his mother and said goodbye, and then the mother and son sat together and talked, Nangong Niangniang naturally brought up the matter of recruiting horses, and first asked the emperor what his impression of the new champion Hou Fangyu was, Hou Fangyu was the champion handpicked by Zhu Youxiao, and naturally had some impressions, the emperor nodded and said that Hou Zhuangyuan was good, and his appearance and talent were all first-class.
Niangniang said: "How does the emperor see the champion as a concubine?" ”
"Pony?" Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised, and then came to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "I have forgotten the imperial sister's lifelong events, this champion is good for everything, but there is an unreasonable father, today I can't help but say that I and Liu Qing's family have been scolded, and I am in-law with such a person....forget it, as long as the mother and the imperial sister are satisfied, I also agree, and I will ask the imperial sister what she means later, I will make an order to let the Hou family send a dowry and a birthday to the palace." Nangong Niangniang said: "Your sister is a shy person, how can you ask the emperor like this, just do it, with me and the queen taking care of you here, don't worry about it." ”
"That's the best." Zhu Youxiao nodded. The matter of recruiting the horse was like this, and the emperor's will was quietly carried out behind Zhu Cheng's back, and the emperor's will was conveyed to the Hou Shangshu Mansion, and the mansion was jubilant, and it seemed that he was bullied by Liu Ziguang yesterday and pulled back a game.
Hou Fangyu is especially proud, he likes this kind of feeling that the opponent has a bitter and unspeakable feeling, the more ruthless Liu Ziguang is, the more he can show his lust, he Hou Fangyu is still a princess, and after becoming a concubine, he can wear a red unicorn complement official uniform, swaggering in front of Liu Ziguang, as long as he dares to go back and talk to the princess, the princess will go to the emperor and the mother, how can there be Liu Ziguang's good fruit to eat.
At present, this matter has entered the formal procedure, as long as there are no mistakes, this horse is decided, so in recent times, Hou Fangyu is very responsible, and he rarely even goes out of his house, let alone lingering in Flower Street and Willow Lane, at most, he will go to the old mansion of Qiange to inquire about the news or something.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, although Nangong Niangniang deliberately concealed Zhu Cheng, but the matter of recruiting Hou Fangyu as a concubine still reached the ears of the eldest princess, and it was the queen mother Xu Yuanhui who passed the word, but she was not a person who could keep secrets, after Zhu Youxiao told her about this matter, she came to ask Zhu Cheng as soon as possible, did she really fall in love with Hou Fangyu?
The eldest princess was stunned, she never expressed her willingness to marry Hou Fangyu, the stakes were very high, she hurriedly found her mother and wanted to stop this matter, but it happened that Mrs. Qian and Concubine Song were present, and the three of them praised Hou Fangyu together in front of Zhu Cheng, how young and handsome, from a famous family, young, erudite, and versatile, anyway, in their mouths, Hou Fangyu has no shortcomings, as long as he marries him, he will definitely be happy and harmonious, and live a happy and happy life.
Zhu Cheng was worried about Liu Ziguang, where could she tolerate Hou Fangyu, she was kind by nature, and she didn't want to refute her mother in public, she just bit her lip tightly and didn't let go, she didn't agree to this family matter, Concubine Song said with a smile: "The princess is worried about her mother's unwillingness to marry after she gets married, and she often goes back to the palace to see it, that is, the mother informs the emperor and does not let go of the horse to go out of Beijing to be an official." Mrs. Qian also persuaded: "A woman will always get married one day, and the days before I married my lord were the same, pestering my mother to be unwilling to get married, saying some stupid things to guard my parents for the rest of my life." Alas, when I got married, I understood that the life of the young couple was also very moisturized. Zhu Cheng still didn't speak, she was the kind of person who was soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, although she didn't speak, she never said that she was acquiescing, she could only represent her speechless struggle, knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's mother, Nangong Niangniang naturally understood what her daughter was thinking, she found a reason to invite Concubine Song and Mrs. Qian away, and then began to educate her daughter bitterly.
Concubine Nangong's choice of Hou Fangyu as a concubine is indeed a painstaking matter, in all fairness, Hou Fangyu is extremely excellent in any aspect, almost flawless, to marry such a person is unattainable for any woman, as for the person in the eldest princess's heart, it is now impossible to come together, now Zhu Cheng is no longer the lowly fisherman girl by Hongze Lake, but the noble eldest princess, as the sister of the Son of Heaven, she must never marry someone else as a concubine, this is related to the royal system, the dignity of the court is a red line that cannot be crossed。
The eldest princess listened to her mother's hard persuasion, but still bit her lip and didn't speak, Nangong Niangniang sighed and said: "After a long time, you will naturally forget everything, for the sake of your mother, for your brother, you can agree to this family matter." Zhu Cheng was silent for a long time, and a crystal teardrop slipped quietly from the corner of his eye, and finally nodded silently.
