Chapter 663: The Cuckold King
As soon as everyone heard that Ye Qiu had sent people into the mountains to look for ginseng a few years earlier, they all felt that he was filial and pretended to be temporary, but if you want to say that the five princes pretend, who can pretend to be like him for several years? And millennium ginseng is so easy to find?
The other ministers thought like this, and Emperor Xingwu thought even more, and couldn't help but wonder if he had despised this emperor too much for so many years.
The more he looked, the more he realized that his five emperors were so outstanding, and they were the only ones among the princes, worthy of being his emperor!
"Okay, since you are so filial, my father and I can't treat you badly, say, whatever you want, as long as it's not too excessive, your father will fulfill you." Emperor Xingwu said with a smile, but the ministers gasped one after another, for fear that the five princes would not be able to say inappropriate words.
Their worries are not unreasonable, because there is a lesson before this, there are six princes and seven princesses in today, in addition to the three princesses and six princesses who are married outside, there should be eleven princes and princesses in the capital, but only ten of them came to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet today, because four of them have long been demoted to the South China Sea.
The mother concubine of the four princes was originally the favored concubine Deng Guifei in the harem, and the four princes she gave birth to were naturally loved by Emperor Xingwu since childhood, but perhaps it was this love that gave them ambition, and they dared to provoke the status of the prince, just because of a joke at the birthday banquet of the concubine, Emperor Xingwu also gave a promise on the spot, who knew that the mother and son actually thought that they could bring down the prince, and in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, Deng Guifei was given to death on the spot, and the four princes were also sent to the South China Sea and never came back.
Therefore, at this moment, the ministers were all worried that Ye Qiu would answer something inappropriate.
But Ye Qiu smiled, as if he didn't know the sword light and sword shadow in this sentence, and looked at Emperor Xingwu with wet eyes: "Father, this is nothing, it is all what a son should do, I am not used to you praising me like this, besides, my gift today is not the best." ”
Emperor Xingwu looked at him meaninglessly: "You really don't want a reward?" So who else gave a better gift than yours? ”
"Of course it was given by the second brother!" Ye Qiu said with a natural face, "Every time the second brother gives a gift, you are the happiest, father, this time I gave only a ginseng plant, but the second brother gave him the rice that he planted and harvested himself!" The people take food as the sky, and Erchen feels that the gifts of the second brother of the prince are better. ”
When Emperor Xingwu heard this, his face was really even more happy, looking at Ye Qiu and the crown prince Ye Zheng's eyes were all satisfied, while the other ministers and the Seventh Prince were also relieved.
"You're right, your second brother is really attentive." Emperor Xingwu nodded with satisfaction, "But your thousand-year-old ginseng gift is not bad, so I will reward the two of you with a thousand taels of gold each!" ”
"The son thanked his father." Prince Ye Zheng hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
Ye Qiu knelt down, but his face was a little hesitant, so Emperor Xingwu asked again: "What, do you want anything else?" ”
So, everyone lifted their hearts for Ye Qiu again.
Lin Jingxian can't wait to sew Ye Qiu's mouth shut now, although she doesn't like him, but now the two of them are both prosperous and lossy, it doesn't matter if he wants to die, why drag himself on?
"The son wants to ask his father for a favor." Ye Qiu suddenly became embarrassed.
Emperor Xingwu's tone became a little dangerous: "Oh? What grace? ”
"Erchen built a hot spring village in the suburbs for Erchen's princess, and wanted to ask his father to give him a name and a pair of ink treasures." Ye Qiu said in a sincere tone.
Hearing him say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Emperor Xingwu's smile became gentle again, and said with a smile: "Since it is the Zhuangzi you gave to your princess, wouldn't it be better to let her nominate herself?" ”
"That's the case, the princess and Ming'er, Ling'er's body is not very healthy, I heard that the hot springs raise people, and the sons want her to go to bubble more, but the suburbs are not as popular as the city, so I want to use my father's dragon qi to suppress the bad luck there, even if there is no bad luck, it is good to ask for peace of mind."
"I see!"
"It is rumored that the fifth prince loves the fifth princess very much, and this rumor is indeed true."
"The fifth princess is blessed! The fifth prince turned out to be like this for her. ”
"That's the envy of the dead."
The ministers ordered the ladies to look at Ye Qiu and Lin Jingxian with kindness, and cast their blessings one after another.
But Lin Jingxian felt very embarrassed at this time, her eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of Prince Ye Zheng, and when she saw that he didn't react, she quickly withdrew her eyes.
Xia Yixiao followed her gaze, but she looked at the past for too short a time, and she didn't find out who she was looking at.
"Hahahaha...... It's hard for you, this kid, to have this heart, I will do what you say. "Emperor Xingwu is really happy today, firstly, with a thousand years of ginseng, it is equivalent to an extra life, and secondly, he found that Xiaowu is filial and sensible, and he does not make excessive demands, he likes his son who knows current affairs so much.
Emperor Xingwu is happy, which means that the Manchu Dynasty is happy, as long as Emperor Xingwu is on the throne, the stronger their Dongchen Kingdom will be, so by the way, Ye Qiu, who sent out a thousand years of ginseng, is also full of goodwill.
Ye Qiu got Emperor Xingwu's reply, happily returned to his desk, and whispered to the stiff Lin Jingxian: "Princess, with the hot spring Zhuangzi given by your father, you and the two children will definitely be able to raise their bodies there." ”
Lin Jingxian was reluctant in her heart, but she had to thank him: "Thank you for your grace." ”
"No, we are husband and wife, and it is right to think about you."
Ye Qiu said with great interest, and Lin Jingxian couldn't show it in public, so her face was more virtuous and considerate.
Others look at it as a pair of fairy couples, but the crown prince Ye Zheng doesn't look at it, the fifth brother is so sincere to her, will she be tempted? Ye Zheng couldn't help but clench his fists.
This time, because Ye Qiujin dedicated a thousand-year-old ginseng, the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was particularly active, especially Ye Qiu, there were many people around him, although the thousand-year-old ginseng has been dedicated to His Majesty, but the five princes have sent people into the mountain for so many years, there are always other grades of ginseng, they don't ask for a thousand years, it's good to have five hundred years and eight hundred years, after all, one more old ginseng is one more life!
As for Lin Jingxian, she was surrounded by such a fateful woman, constantly saying some compliments and congratulations, and many of them had other thoughts.
Although the fifth prince has always had a bad reputation, his image in the saint will definitely change greatly after this time, maybe he will become a prince with real power in the future, plus he is so rich, and he is single-minded to the princess, and he does not ask him to do the same to others, but having such two or three points is enough to glorify the family.
Lin Jingxian listened to the meaning of those words, and didn't know why she was a little unhappy, obviously she didn't like Ye Qiu's, why would she not be happy for him to accept a side concubine?
