Chapter 84: Better (2nd Watch)
There will never be such a thing as a marriage contract transfer in the future.
Ling Hua was very relieved.
Xiao Zhen said, "What is going on in your head?" He looked at Ling Hua and said, "I mean, he doesn't want to transfer the marriage contract to Xu Zizhou, but to ask Xu Zizhou not to worry about you." β
Ling Hua laughed even more, "Xiao Zhen, Second Highness, I can thank you, if what you said is true, I will wake up laughing in my dreams." β
Yan Qing hasn't liked her yet, how can he let Xu Zizhou not worry about her? In the past few days, she taught Xu Zizhou to play chess in the prison, and sent him home late at night.
Xiao Zhen: "......"
He suddenly didn't want to speak.
Ling Hua looked at him and felt that he was not as cute as he was when he was a child, at least, he was still a tsundere pretending to be a stable child when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was not stable, not to mention that he didn't want to make a mess of things all day long.
She asked, "You came to me and said that you had something to discuss, is it about Xiao Ze and the Wen family?" Or is it about Xu Zizhou? β
"About Xiao Ze and the Wen family." Speaking of business, Xiao Zhen no longer paid attention to the two people who happened to enter Yunxiangzhai today, "Is there any suspense about Xu Zizhou's position in Jingzhao Yin's mansion?" β
"No, I said let him sit in the position of Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin, and he will definitely be able to sit on it." Ling Hua was very confident, "Your Majesty has no other candidates besides him." β
Xiao Zhen nodded, his face dark, "Indeed." Even if I promote someone who is not qualified enough, he will not reuse me. β
So far, he has only held a spare position in the Ministry of Industry.
"There's nothing wrong with being idle, and you won't be wrong if you don't do it." Ling Hua took a sip of tea, "Now that Your Majesty is in full bloom, there is no need to be too anxious, doing more is more wrong, Xiao Ze is because he has done too much." β
Xiao Zhen thought about it, "I didn't expect Xiao Ze to be willing to put the Wen family in a water prison because the Wen family poisoned Cheng Liangdi, and now he doesn't care about the Wen family at all, and demoted him to a concubine, he doesn't want the Wen family anymore?" β
"Xiao Ze's dislike for the crown princess Wen is not a day or two, but a day of accumulation, and he can't bear it anymore. In the East Palace, only Concubine Liu gave birth to a daughter, there is no male heir, the Wen family has not come out for three years, and has repeatedly brutalized the concubines of the East Palace, plus the Wen family has not won it, not to mention it, but also to implicate him, he has always wiped the Wen family's ass recently, I am afraid that it will also annoy the Wen family. Ling said, "Cheng Liangdi is just an introduction, but I didn't expect that she, Liangdi, is not obvious, but the most favored one in the East Palace." β
Xiao Zhen suspected, "If the Wen family really poisoned Cheng Liangdi, they shouldn't use a seven-day kill that can be solved, and they should use a poison that can't be saved." β
"This is not important, there are so many women in the East Palace, making a mess, and it is not necessary to take the opportunity to use Cheng Liangdi to frame the Wen family." Ling Hua didn't think that Cheng Liangdi would take poison by herself, there were too many people offended by the Wen family in the East Palace, and there were many people who wanted her to die.
Xiao Zhen also felt that it was not too important, and said a word, "Xiao Ze can't really want the Wen family, the Wen family has 300,000 garrisons, and it is impossible for him to let go." Now that he has locked up the crown princess Wen in a fit of rage, he has made a big deal about this matter, and his father asked him to ask for the abolition of the crown princess, and he really asked for the abolition, so what will he use to continue to maintain a relationship with the Wen family? Is it just a concubine Wen? β
"The Wen family still has daughters, there are second misses in the lineage, and there are many side branches. Xiao Ze asked to abolish a crown princess of the Wen family, and he could marry another crown princess of the Wen family, and the Wen family, giving up a daughter is nothing, and there is a daughter, the Wen family has protected Xiao Zhen for three years, and it is exhausting and laborious, and he will not give up halfway, this is a gambler, he has gambled on half of the family business, and the other half of the family business is not blocked, how can he be willing? Ling Hua felt that if she expected it to be true, things should be going this way, "You said that Your Majesty wanted you to marry the second daughter of the Wen family earlier, and now you don't have to worry about it." β
Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, then it's okay, I'm afraid that he will attack Liangzhou's idea." β
"Zhou Wu is not stupid, it is impossible for him to take refuge in Xiao Zhen. His Majesty can allow him to marry the daughter of the Wen family again, and he will not allow him to hold the Youzhou General Soldier in his left hand and the Liangzhou General Soldier in his right hand. How could His Majesty let his backers be too big? Youzhou and Liangzhou add up to 600,000 garrisons, which is two-thirds of Houliang's military power, and no matter how much His Majesty relies on him, it is impossible to give him early. Let him marry the Wen family, it is already a great love, the father-son relationship of the heavenly family, there is no more, not to mention, now because of Chen Qiaoyue, His Majesty has been angry with him, although he has not been punished yet, but if he is really not punished, it will be more serious than punishing him. β
Xiao Zhen sneered, "Give him a trap and he will drill, what a pig brain." β
Ling Hua smiled, "We helped Zhou Wu so much, 200,000 military rations were sent to Liangzhou smoothly after I had a fight with Xiao Ze, but Zhou Wu ambiguously did not agree to take refuge in playing Tai Chi with me, after I got married, I plan to go to Liangzhou in person, if Zhou Wu is available, we will save a lot of trouble, if it is not available, we will change the general army of Liangzhou, although it is troublesome, but the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou must be fought for." Only when you have soldiers and horses in your hands can you have confidence. β
Xiao Zhen nodded, and emphasized repeatedly, "Anyway, I don't marry Zhou Wu's daughter." β
"Okay, I know, there's no need to stress about it." Ling Hua has no opinion, she likes to feast lightly, and she tries her best to get married, and there is no reason to marry someone for the sake of the great cause by pressing Xiao Zhen's head.
"The courtiers are now thinking about the position of the crown princess again, you say, is it possible that the father will not let him marry the daughter of the Wen family again? Completely interrupting his connection with the Wen family, even if it is not for him to marry the daughter of Zhou Wu of Liangzhou, will he marry other weaker wives as concubines? Xiao Zhen asked.
Ling Hua shook his head, "No, Your Majesty has no plans to change the crown prince at present, in order to stabilize the court situation, he will not do this, nine times out of ten, and the daughter of the Wen family will enter the East Palace, you still have a long way to go." β
Xiao Zhen sneered, "It's me who underestimated my father, he loves Xiao Ze a lot, even if Xiao Ze has no merits." β
Ling Hua persuaded him, "Don't get into the horns, didn't you know since you were a child that you don't have father's love, and you don't need father's love?" Therefore, a child who was doted on by his father and grew up, just like Xiao Ze, is nothing good and not worth your anger. β
Xiao Zhen was successfully relieved, and his coldness disappeared, "When you say this, I don't know if it's time to pity Xiao Ze." β
Ling Hua smiled, "His pity, there will be more in the future." β
After the two finished chatting about business, Ling Hua rang the bell, and someone immediately brought dinner.
Xiao Zhen didn't want to leave after eating, so he said to her, "Play chess with me." β
Ling Hua glanced at him, "How many rounds will you play?" β
"Go down until I don't want to." Xiao Ze didn't want to go back so early, and he didn't want her to go to Yan Qing.
Ling Hua's innocuous request for Xiao Ze, as long as she didn't touch her bottom line, she basically agreed, and now seeing him say this, she seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and she didn't plan to go against him, "Okay." β
Anyway, she didn't plan to meet Yan Qing here.
Yan Qing naturally didn't know that Ling Hua also came to Yunxiangzhai today, he really believed what Wangshu said, Ling Hua was tired and rested early at home.
After entering Yunxiang Zhai, the banquet lightly ordered jade tea, and Xu Zizhou ordered a few side dishes, knowing that the banquet was lightly injured and did not order wine.
Yunxiangzhai's tea master is a master who is very famous and makes good tea.
Yan Qing watched the master make tea, and waited for the master to finish making tea, he took a sip and didn't speak.
After the master went down, Xu Zizhou took a sip of the banquet and stopped drinking, and asked, "Little Hou Ye, don't you like this tea the most?" β
Yan Qing said lazily, "It's not as good as the tea made by my fiancΓ©e." β
Xu Zizhou almost couldn't hold back his face, if it weren't for hearing from Ling Yunshen and Ling Yunyang that Ling Hua had made a good cup of tea, he almost thought that Yan Qing was deliberately attacking him today.
He looked at Yan Qing quietly, trying to keep his facial expression from showing any discoloration, "Oh? The tea made by Miss Ling is better than the tea made by the tea master of Yunxiangzhai? β
"Well, better." Yan nodded lightly.
Xu Zizhou smiled, "I'm afraid it's not because Miss Ling is the fiancΓ©e of the little marquis, she just pours a glass of water, do you think it's okay?" β
Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?" β
He didn't have a fiancΓ©e voluntary, so how could he feel good just because she casually poured a glass of water?
Xu Zizhou choked for a moment, feeling that Yan Qing really couldn't refute him when he asked him like this, Yan Xiaohou has always been good is good, bad is bad, and it is very clear, in his eyes, he did not say that the bad is good.
He smiled, "It's a pity that I haven't drunk Miss Ling's tea, so I don't know what better tea is like?" β
Yan curled the corners of his mouth, "It's a pity, after all, you don't have a fiancΓ©e who can make good tea." β
Xu Zizhou: "......"
Heart-piercing!
He reasonably suspected that Yan Qing's words were deliberate.
