400: Living Zhuge
Xiao Yunting left the Three Princes' Mansion and got into the carriage.
In the carriage was a handmaid kneeling with a sword in her arms.
If Cheng Qing is here, he will definitely be able to recognize this maid, this is not a little thistle, it is the one who has been sprinkled with lime powder by Cheng Qing.
As soon as she saw Xiao Yunting, the maidservant was ashamed:
"Shizi, the slave and maid are not doing well, please punish the Shizi!"
"Say, how could it be that Yu Baihu who saved Cheng Qing?"
If you want to be gracious, it is also Xiao Yunting's grace, and for some reason he was robbed of the opportunity by a brocade guard, Xiao Yunting was naturally dissatisfied.
"The slave maid followed behind Lord Cheng according to your instructions, and saw that the people of the third prince sent Lord Cheng to the house where the daughter of the Marquis of Yingchuan rested, the old eunuch was a master, and the slave and maid were afraid of being discovered by him, so they stayed a little farther away. Yu Baihu was able to save Master Cheng because the old eunuch was led away by a man in night clothes, and the two should have fought each other, and it is unknown who wins and who loses the slave maid. The slave maid delayed for a while, Yu Baihu had already saved Lord Cheng, Yu Baihu stuffed Cui Peng onto the bed, and took Master Cheng away from the scene, the slave and maid thought about it, and helped Cui Peng take off his clothes. ”
The maidservant said that she was not good at doing things, but in fact, she was very careful in her work, she didn't expose herself from beginning to end, she hid in the night, saw the whole thing in her eyes, and filled in Yu San's omissions - if you want to completely remove Cheng Qing from this matter, just stuffing Cui Peng into the quilt is not ruthless enough, to confirm the adultery between Cui Peng and the daughter of Yingchuan Hou, it is natural that both men and women need to 'see each other frankly'.
Xiao Yunting's hand was placed on the wall of the car and tapped gently:
"The snipe and the clam competed, and the fisherman picked up the leak, so I wondered why Cheng Qing was taken away by the people of the three princes, why Meng Huaijin was not in a hurry, it seems that the person who wore the night clothes was Meng Huaijin. Meng Huaijin has been in the capital for four years, and this prince has been keeping an eye on him, how does he cultivate his own power? It can only be that those people have already discovered his identity and taken the initiative to find him...... You have done a good job, after this incident, the third prince and the eldest prince will definitely have trouble. ”
The maidservant didn't dare to take credit, "The son of the world, you are clever, you are the living Zhuge who knew that the third prince would make a move on Lord Cheng." ”
Xiao Yunting smiled, his face cold.
There is nothing in this world, the so-called magic trick is just a grasp of people's hearts.
As long as you can understand people's hearts and know a person's character, you can predict the trajectory of the other party.
The third prince wants to be the crown prince and wants to get the help of the eldest princess, so he naturally wants to please his new wife Roujia.
Before the wedding, Rou Jia had just restored the title of 'county lord', which was not a holy grace for Rou Jia, but a reminder of how she was stripped of her title.
It is difficult to please Rou Jia with any gold, silver, jewelry, fancy clothes and delicacies sent by the three princes, and Rou Jia, as the beloved daughter of the eldest princess, has seen more good things since she was a child than the third prince, the prince whose biological mother is not favored.
Rou Jia has grown so big, it is estimated that he has only suffered setbacks from him and Cheng Qing.
Who in the capital doesn't know that he won't live long, no matter what the third prince does to him, he will cause a fuss, and the serious consequences may not be affordable for the third prince.
Compared with others, Cheng Qing is naturally a soft persimmon.
Therefore, the third prince must clean up Cheng Qing and hand over a 'letter of nomination' to Roujia and the eldest princess.
The third prince's trick is very good, and it really succeeds, not only to clean up Cheng Qing, but also to disgust the eldest prince!
After this incident, Cheng Qing and Meng Huaijin should also understand the virtues of the three princes.
With such virtue, is he also worthy of inheriting the unification?
Although Xiao Yunting did not earn Cheng Qing's favor, he also gained a lot, and he was satisfied when he left the Three Princes' Mansion.
A small regret does not affect the overall situation.
……
In the wedding room, the dragon and phoenix candles are dyed, dressed in a wedding dress, and Roujia, who is covered with a red hijab, is waiting for her groom to return to the wedding room.
The bridegroom didn't wait, but a servant girl came in a hurry and whispered a few words in Roujia's ear.
The red hijab trembled, and there was surprise in Roujia's voice:
"If he quibbles like that, the emperor's uncle will believe it?"
The maidservants who reported the news didn't dare to answer, so Roujia simply took off the red hijab.
The maidservants in the wedding room knelt on the ground.
The red hijab has to wait for the third prince to pick it out, how can the county lord take it off by himself?
The servants in the happy room are either Roujia's maidservants or the maidservants next to the third prince, Roujia's temper has changed for the better now, and everyone has not forgotten her former prestige.
Rou Jia's face sank like water, and she sat like that and waited for the third prince to come to the happy room.
Looking at it like that, if the third prince doesn't return overnight, Roujia will wait all night.
All the subordinates held their breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.
One thing that is enough to make Cheng Qing irreversible is not a big deal in the eyes of the emperor, and it can't be delayed because the daughter of the Marquis of Yingchuan was caught and raped in bed, so the wedding night of the third prince and Roujia should be delayed.
Zhang Shilang came forward for Cheng Qing, and not long after asking for the saint, the emperor put an end to the matter, and then drove back to the palace.
Leaving behind the dejected Marquis of Yingchuan and many guests, as well as the three princes who want to sweep up the matter.
The third prince endured the embarrassment and promised the Marquis of Yingchuan that he would help Cui Peng go to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.
"Master Hou, we will also be in-laws in the future, and we are all a family."
Yingchuan Hou's stomach rolled, and he almost didn't vomit the third prince's face.
Bullshit in-laws!
The daughter of the dignified marquis wants to marry a merchant as his wife, and the merchant is still the brother of the concubine of the three princes!
Yingchuan Hou was disgusted.
The emperor gave the Marquis of Yingchuan two choices, one was to put Cui Peng in prison and punish him according to the law, and the other was to cover up his shame in a low-key manner, and marry the daughter of the Marquis of Yingchuan to Cui Peng - Cui Peng's original wife and children were not a big problem, and the third prince said that Cui Peng knew that he had damaged the reputation of the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and would reconcile with his original wife, and then marry the daughter of the Marquis of Yingchuan, and he must let the daughter of the Hou Mansion be his wife instead of a concubine.
The emperor saw that this incident happened in the palace of the three princes, and when he investigated it deeply, the three princes were also gloomy, and in order to appease the Marquis of Yingchuan, he promised to ask Cui Peng to lead the business of the Internal Affairs Office.
Imperial businessmen are more decent than ordinary businessmen, and if the Marquis of Yingchuan still thinks that his son-in-law's status is low, he can operate slowly in the future, so that Cui Peng can get rid of his business status and find an errand.
If Cui Peng is imprisoned for questioning, the destruction of the reputation of the daughter of the Marquis of Yingchuan will really be known, and for the reputation of the Marquis of Yingchuan, the Marquis of Yingchuan can only let his daughter cut herself to show her integrity...... Of the two options, the Marquis of Yingchuan endured his nausea and agreed to marry his daughter.
But this does not mean that the Marquis of Yingchuan can happily be in-laws with the third prince.
What is it to marry your daughter to the brother of the concubine of the third prince?
The Marquis of Yingchuan is the uncle of the eldest prince, and this in-law relationship with the third prince is a self-surrendering identity!
The Marquis of Yingchuan was weak, and he arched his hand at the three princes and said goodbye.
Cheng Qing was not surprised at all when he knew the outcome of this matter.
The emperor has always liked this and mud.
It's cheaper than Cui Peng.
- But as the son-in-law of the Marquis of Yingchuan, is Cui Peng on the side of the eldest prince, or should he continue to bet on the third prince?
