Chapter 184: Gift-giving
This meal is probably only the two of Yejun, Hao and Shi Yingqiu who are full of food and drink, and the rest of the few people here, how can they have any intention to eat?
"Okay, this king has already used your lunch, and it is very well prepared, very good, but this king has been tired lately, and needs to take a break, if there is anything, let's talk about it later today!" Ye Junhao said as he stood up and walked outside.
When he was leaving, he didn't forget to hold Shi Yingqiu's hand and leave with her.
Come on, this scared the Taishou Lord and then came to show affection.
"Lord Taishou, what should we do now, looking at the appearance of King Rong'an, it seems that this time it is going to be strictly investigated." As soon as Ye Junhao and the two of them left here, the other people sitting here were already panicking.
Shi Xinming was silent for a few seconds, listening to these movements in his ears, he raised his head and looked at the person opposite impatiently and said: "You are panicked, this official is more panicked than you now, if something happens to you, the official is still carrying it for you, if something happens to the official, who can bear it?" ”
After hearing this, the others stopped talking, and now they dare to say something, isn't it a shot in the head?
"In fact, this matter is not incomprehensible, seeing that King Rong'an is very fond of his princess, if he can get the princess's intercession, I think King Rong'an will listen to it more or less." One of them saw that everyone was silent for a long time before he spoke cautiously.
That's right, as soon as he said this, someone around him immediately echoed: "When I was just outside, I saw King Rong'an holding the princess, and when he left, he kept holding the princess, and he couldn't forget his princess wherever he went. ”
Of course, Shi Xinming also noticed these small actions, but is it really reliable to hit the idea on Princess Rongwen?
Shi Xinming said with a headache: "Let's take a look first, if it can, this will naturally become a way out, if it doesn't work, if we are too reckless, we will let King Rong'an and them find a handle faster." ”
Returning to the post station, Shi Yingqiu couldn't stop laughing as soon as he entered the door.
Ye Junhao was a little curious when he saw Shi Yingqiu like this, and couldn't help but ask her what she was laughing at.
Shi Yingqiu smiled while pointing at Ye Junhao and said, "The way you looked just now, you really have the bearing of a prince, you stood there with a few words, and it already made Shi Xinming smile from the beginning to the sweat in the back!" ”
How come I have never seen Ye Junhao in the palace with such a majestic appearance in the palace before?
"Everything in today's banquet is just a temptation, if they really didn't do anything bad, naturally they don't have to be afraid of my words, but looking at Shi Xinming's reaction today, the matter of Ancheng should be investigated." Ye Junhao said as he fell into deep thought.
Shi Yingqiu walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and put it in front of Ye Junhao, and then she also sat beside him: "This time, those ministers jointly hope that you can send an envoy to Ancheng to check on their affairs here, in order to make you offend more people, but if you really check it like this, wouldn't you follow their wishes?" ”
"But if we don't investigate, then they will definitely take the opportunity to say to the imperial brother that I am immoral and incompetent, and may even say that I am deliberately shielding Shi Xinming and them, and then our situation will be even more difficult, and besides, if you enter the court as an official, each for its own interests, how can you not offend anyone?" Ye Junhao sighed and said.
Shi Yingqiu suddenly realized: "Then if you say so, Ancheng Taishou has done a lot of things, and it won't be long before he looks for you." ”
"What do you want me to do? The first person they start looking for is definitely you. Ye Junhao looked at Shi Yingqiu standing beside him and said with a smile.
Shi Yingqiu hasn't reacted yet, why is she looking for someone?
"Let's wait for now, in less than three days, someone will definitely come to you, I hope you can help them say good things." Yejun Hao said firmly.
Originally, Shi Yingqiu didn't quite believe Ye Junhao's words, until the next night, Mrs. Taishou suddenly found her and said that she hoped to have dinner with her.
Wife diplomacy in the social circle has always been very important, and Shi Yingqiu went to participate after asking Jun Hao overnight.
The place to eat was set in Tianxiang Building, the largest restaurant in Ancheng, and Ye Junhao was not worried that Shi Yingqiu went out alone and sent many secret guards and secret piles to protect her.
The meals in Tianxianglou are all expensive, but these dishes are also extremely delicious, and those who can afford to eat here are either rich or expensive.
Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, a maid came in and delivered a box and handed it to Mrs. Taishou.
"Princess Niangniang, you have been here in Ancheng for so long, and the courtiers have nothing to give you, this is a pair of sapphire jewelry, which should be given to you as a meeting gift." Mrs. Taishou opened the box as she spoke, and handed it to Shi Yingqiu.
Shi Yingqiu looked at the sapphire jewelry in the box, the workmanship was extremely exquisite, especially the sapphire on it was big and colorful.
Shi Yingqiu thought of the instructions that Junhao had given her on the night before leaving, and instead of accepting the box on the spot, she looked at Mrs. Taishou and asked with a smile: "This jewelry is too valuable, but I don't have any merit to accept it, it's really not good to accept such a valuable thing." ”
How can this be said to be futile? The princess followed King Rong'an all the way, came to us to inspect, it was very hard, and she couldn't live in the restaurant because of the rules, so she could only squeeze in the post station, this is your hard work! Mrs. Taishou looked at Shi Yingqiu with admiration and said.
Shi Yingqiu's failure to accept this pair of jewelry today also represents an attitude of hers.
"If I accept this pair of jewelry, then how can I repay you, Mrs. Taishou?" Shi Yingqiu's eyes fell on the contents of the box and asked softly.
When she heard this, Mrs. Taishou felt that there was a drama in this matter, and she hurriedly said: "This is not difficult, just ask the princess to be able to say a few good words for us in front of the prince." ”
After hearing this, Shi Yingqiu pretended to be surprised and looked at Mrs. Taishou and said, "Good words? Guarding a city and land too much is naturally a high level of hard work, and this credit no longer needs to be praised. ”
Shi Yingqiu's words and deeds today were all instructed by Ye Junhao before he came out.
Now, just with these few words, Mrs. Taishou has driven Mrs. Taishou to the point of madness.
"Since the princess's words have already been said to this point, the courtiers will also speak bluntly!" Mrs. Taishou sighed and said: "Over the years, our family Taishou has also done a lot of foolish things, and these foolish things are now to the time when the paper can't hold the fire, the emperor actually sent King Rong'an down, if this is investigated to the end, it will definitely lead to the destruction of our family, so I also ask the princess to be kind, go back and persuade in front of the prince, and the things that can be said will be gone, it doesn't matter if you are demoted, the main thing is to ensure the safety and success of our family." ”
can be regarded as telling the truth, when he heard this, Shi Yingqiu couldn't help but begin to admire Ye Junhao.
"Even in the emperor's palace, there is such a thing as the harem not being allowed to interfere in politics, this king was born as the princess of Rong'an, how can there be any reason to interfere in his court affairs, if the prince knows, he will definitely blame me, and when the time comes, if I check it out, I am afraid that it will be even more unfavorable to Lord Taishou." Shi Yingqiu looked at the lady with an embarrassed face and said.
Is this obviously not going to help speak, when Mrs. Taishou heard this, she sat there with a look of embarrassment, before she came out today, she told her to persuade Shi Yingqiu to persuade Ye Junhao no matter what.
"But Madame doesn't have to worry too much, this is what the Lord Taishou does, most officials will make such a mistake, but some people make big mistakes, some people make small mistakes, and the small ones can naturally be punished slightly, and they can be demoted and thought about it, and the big ones naturally can't be let go so easily." Shi Yingqiu chuckled.
Mrs. Taishou is also a smart person, and after hearing this, she immediately understood the meaning of Shi Yingqiu's words.
Big things are small, small things are turned into small things, and this is the way to protect one's life now.
"The courtiers know, and the courtiers will definitely tell this to Lord Taishou." Mrs. Taishou said.
After the banquet was over, Shi Yingqiu went downstairs, but she didn't expect to see Ye Junhao standing there downstairs.
It turned out that Ye Junhao and Shi Xinming were worried about Shi Yingqiu after they finished speaking, so they insisted on running to pick her up in person.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say there was something to say? Are you all said now? Shi Yingqiu looked at Ye Junhao happily, trotted forward quickly, and grabbed Ye Junhao's hand.
Ye Junhao stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky: "How long has this been, can you still not finish it?" Rest assured, everything I need to do has been done, and there will be no delay or anything. ”
When Mrs. Taishou saw this scene later, she didn't know why, but a sad feeling surged in her heart.
She helped the maid to walk alone into the mansion.
After returning to the mansion, the first thing Taishou asked when he saw Mrs. Taishou was, "How is it?" Have you already given away all the things that you were asked to send out today? Is it done? ”
"The princess didn't accept my things, but she asked the concubine to bring a word to the adult." When Mrs. Taishou said this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Taishou, and sure enough, his expression became not so good: "The princess said that paper can't hold the fire, since the matter has happened, it is better to turn the big thing into a small thing and a small thing, so that is the best way to protect yourself." ”
After hearing this, Taishou's anger instantly came up: "But in this case, my official can't be saved, do you know how much effort I took to climb to this position?" ”
