Chapter Seventy-Four│Temptation
Since the imperial physician in the palace spread out that the emperor's dragon body was not safe, Jiang Moran was ready to enter the palace early in the morning to visit, but halfway he met Linghu Tingxu and Zuo Chang'an just came out of the Ming Xuantang, Jiang Moran has never been involved in the government, and rarely has any dealings with the courtiers, but the two people in front of him are in Jiang Mo's arms, so he stepped forward very politely and said: "Two adults early." ”
Linghu Tingxu and Zuo Changan returned the salute: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is early, is he also here to visit the emperor?" ”
Jiang Moran nodded, and then listened to Zuo Changan say: "The emperor's spirit of talent is good, and we talked about the fact that the guards of the Eastern Qin State on the border always had conflicts with the guards of Yicheng, and it seemed that there was a intention to raise troops, I am afraid that the emperor is worried, and I don't know how long it will take for this disease to get better." ”
Jiang Moran thought for a moment after hearing this, but still said: "Since it is a major national event, there must be a few adults to worry about, and this king will go to visit the emperor first." ”
Linghu Tingxu heard Jiang Moran's intention of retreating, turned back to Zuo Changan and said, "I remember that it will be your birthday in a while, why don't you take this opportunity to invite King Zhao to sit in the mansion?" ”
Zuo Changan nodded, and the two of them turned around and walked outside the palace, as if laughing, Zuo Changan suddenly remembered something and said to Linghu Tingxu: "I heard that some time ago, King Qi wrote a letter to want to marry your precious daughter, but I didn't expect that the news had not yet reached you, and it was rejected by the emperor, and I thought that the emperor also saw that something was wrong." ”
Ling Hu Tingxu shook his head and said: "King Qi's heart is not right, besides, he is not idle in Qizhou, the singing and dancing in the palace is continuous, and he has already set up a princess, and he still wants Yan Shan to be a side room?" ”
"He is also dissatisfied," Zuo Changan said, "You think, His Royal Highness King Zhao is in Changling City, but King Qi's fief is far away in Qizhou, and it will take three or four days to come and go, even King Xiang's fief, Xiangcheng is not far from Changling, he naturally knows that the royal family is guarding against him." ”
Ling Hu Tingxu said quite vaguely: "Actually, when Concubine Qi had an accident that year, King Qi was only a few years old, and many things were not something he could reverse. ”
"However, no one in this palace has ever cared about this." Zuo Changan sighed a little helplessly, but he heard Ling Hu Tingxu smile and said, "So, you didn't want to marry Hua Ci into the royal family at the beginning." ”
Zuo Changan nodded, this royal is good, but ......
Over there, Jiang Mo dyed to the Ming Xuan Hall, and saw Jiang Mobai lying on the couch, throwing something into his mouth, and turned his head to see Jiang Mo dyeing coming, Jiang Mobai turned sideways, handed over the plate and said: "You are here, this stack is a newly made dried rose candied fruit in the imperial dining room, Qingluo recommended it to me, saying that this was the best seller in Xicheng Restaurant at that time." ”
Jiang Mo took it suspiciously and asked, "Brother Huang, your illness hasn't recovered yet, so you eat such a sweet and greasy thing?" ”
Jiang Mobai smiled quite embarrassedly: "I have a headache, I have drunk too much bitter medicine these days, take a few to relieve my suffering, why did you come so early today?" ”
"Oh, there's nothing to do in the mansion, so I wanted to enter the palace to take a look," Jiang Moran asked with some hesitation, "Brother Huang, do you remember that little girl in the Protector's Mansion?" ”
"The Protector's Mansion? There is only one daughter under the Duchess of the Protector, if I remember correctly, the Duchess of the Protector used to bring her daughter into the palace to play with us," Jiang Mobai recalled for a moment, but frowned a little and said, "However, I can't remember what the girl looks like, but the children of the Duchess of the Protector and the Duchess of the Protector must be the same, what's wrong?" Did you see it? ”
Looking at Jiang Mobai's gossipy eyes, Jiang Moran smiled secretly: "That's it, after seeing each other, I feel that this girl is different from what I've seen." ”
Jiang Mobai listened and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, it is indeed the right person, but there is such a young lady in this Protector's Mansion, it depends on whether people are reluctant to give it up, I have an idea, I don't know what you think?" ”
Jiang Moran nodded immediately when he heard this, only to hear Jiang Mobai say: "If you want to marry a wife, do you want to propose?" You have to be prepared, you can't rely on your identity to rush over, if you want me to say, you have to go step by step, first and the Protector Mansion and the Xiangguo Mansion together, this family can rest assured that the girl will be handed over to you. ”
"But Brother Huang, I don't walk around with courtiers on weekdays, and I am afraid that my sudden visit is too deliberate, right?" Jiang Moran listened attentively, and didn't care about Jiang Mobai's flowing water at all.
I only heard Jiang Mobai say again: "You don't have to worry about this, the Eastern Qin Kingdom has been in turmoil on the border recently, and I am not in good health, so I intend to let the two of them and the Emperor Fu discuss with General Ning, but someone must take the lead, so you will discuss this matter together on my behalf." ”
When Jiang Moran heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Brother Huang, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, my brother has never been in contact with government affairs......"
"That's not important," Jiang Mobai smiled evilly, "The beauties of the country are important." ”
Jiang Moran obviously didn't understand the vague meaning of Jiang Mo's words, but he thought about it along the way......
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door of the Protector's Mansion, Zuo Changan had just gotten up, Linghu Qingge had not yet woken up, and Steward Shen came in and whispered: "Master, His Royal Highness King Zhao has come down." ”
Zuo Changan was stunned when he heard this: "Why did you suddenly come early in the morning?" Let His Highness sit in the main hall. ”
After that, Zuo Changan dressed up and hurriedly went to the front hall, only to see Jiang Moran just sit down, and when he saw that he got up again, he greeted him first and said: "Is this king coming too early, didn't disturb Lord Zuo to rest." ”
Zuo Changan immediately replied: "Your Highness is polite, Your Highness rarely walks around in the courtier's mansion, I don't know if there is anything important this time?" ”
Jiang Moran pointed back and said: "I heard Xiaofeng say yesterday that the Dark Guard Court is recruiting troops and horses, and Xiaofeng has a friend who happened to come to Changling, and his kung fu is good, so this king came to introduce him." ”
Zuo Changan glanced at the man behind Jiang Moran, and saw a dignified seven-foot man, heroic and upright, looking at him as a good seedling, he nodded and said: "If you come to Changling to defect, it is a pity to be a secret guard, recently the imperial forbidden army in Fengchangmen lacks a leader, I will take him into the palace in the afternoon for a trial, what is the name?" ”
The man said, "The grass people are very good. ”
Zuo Changan nodded, and saw that Jiang Moran didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, as if he had something to say, so he asked, "Your Highness, but there is something else to say?" Why don't you go to the study and talk about it. ”
Jiang Moran nodded, got up and followed Zuo Changan to the study, Zuo Changan covered the door, and sat down to listen to Jiang Moran's words, but unexpectedly, Jiang Moran came up and said straight to the point: "Lord Zuo, this king takes the liberty to ask, Miss Zuo now, can she have a marriage contract?" ”
