"Don't worry, the honor and dignity that belong to the princess will be given to you." These were the last words Wei Zhao left before leaving.

Princess Yichang looked at the closed door of Linhua Palace, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

……

There was a big incident at the banquet in the Chengenbo Mansion, which even alarmed His Majesty in the palace. The news spread like wings to everyone in the capital the next day. As for what chaos happened that day, all the ladies who attended the banquet were silent.

However, what shocked these people even more was a holy decree issued by His Majesty through the Zhongshu Province.

Fengtian transported, the emperor edict said: I inherit the treasure with admiration, Shao Zhanghongtu, the grace of Pei Lun, and the birthday celebration. Xie Shiyan, the daughter of the Marquis of Xianjing Ping, has both ability and political integrity, a famous family, and the birthday bell is beautiful, and the chapter is shown. There is a soft posture, and the virtue of Yishu...... Character is valuable, sensitive, disciplined, etiquette, and leisurely. Now canonized as the queen of the middle palace, the Ministry of Rites is scheduled to complete the marriage on August 20, and give the Fengyi Hall of Kunning Palace. Chin this!

Together with the holy decree issued after the seal, there was also the order of the first Jingping Marquis Xie Yu to inherit the will of the Duke of Xie Guo, and the two holy decrees were sent to the Jingping Marquis Mansion before and after, and the dynasty was in an uproar.

However, none of the three Zaifu in the court, "Zhang Fuming, Wang Jin, and Pei Tongguang", objected, even if some imperial histories wanted to be impeached, but they couldn't help but retreat when they thought of His Majesty's iron and bloody wrist.

On the day of receiving the order, the middle door of the Marquis of Jingping Mansion was opened, and the eldest princess of peace had gray sideburns, and there was not much joy on a face full of wrinkles. She trembled and accepted the order, handed it to Xie Yanhe, and ordered: "Enshrine it in the ancestral hall." ”

Since Xie Jin's accident, the tablet of the ancestors of the Xie family has been transferred to the Jingping Marquis Mansion, and Feng will ventilate in advance, and the eldest princess of Ping'an rested in the mansion yesterday, just to prepare for receiving the order early this morning.

After sending Feng Hui, who came to deliver the decree, sent away, the eldest princess of Ping'an looked at the jubilant subordinates in the mansion, and reluctantly pulled the corners of her lips: "Fangcao, you go and prepare twenty boxes of copper coins, ten boxes are scattered in the mansion, and the other ten boxes are scattered outside the mansion." Also, the subordinates in the house received three times the monthly case this month. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the eldest princess." The subordinates in the mansion thanked them in unison, and their voices were so loud that they seemed to be able to reach the sky.

Compared with the next person, the smile on the face of the eldest princess of peace was much more perfunctory. The eldest princess of Ping An couldn't help but think that the eldest son who had been expelled from the clan was also her bloodline, but the circumstances were very different.

In the past, the eldest princess of Ping An would still be able to put all the blame on Xie Yan and this granddaughter, but now, after learning what her eldest son had done, she couldn't even find a reason to be angry.

"Grandmother, go to the public account of today's Bounty Mansion, how can I make my grandmother break the bank." Xie Yanhe calmly refused.

When the eldest princess of Ping An heard this, she glanced at Xie Yanhe deeply, and she said lightly: "It's always a happy event for the Xie family." This palace is also a member of the Xie family. ”

Since the eldest princess of Ping An insisted, Xie Yanhe did not refuse again. She curtsied to the eldest princess of peace: "Yan He thanked grandmother." ”

"Get up, you will be the queen of the middle palace in the future, and this palace can no longer afford your courtesy." The eldest princess of peace is in a particularly complicated mood at the moment.

Three years ago, when this granddaughter was only thirteen years old, the eldest princess of Heian noticed His Majesty's extraordinary attention and favor for this granddaughter, and a terrible guess gradually rose in her heart. Since then, it's been a wrong step, a wrong step.

Until today, the eldest princess of peace was not optimistic about this granddaughter, but Fang Cai's holy decree was like a slap in the head, and it fell on the head of the eldest princess of Ping'an, as if laughing at her conceit.

"Yan He, after entering the palace, I hope you can be cautious in your words and deeds. The Xie family doesn't expect you to seek wealth and wealth, and they also don't want to be burdened by you. "The eldest princess of Ping An has been proud all her life, even if she is defeated now, even if she is her granddaughter in front of her, she still can't make peace with Xie Yanhe.

Xie Yanhe had long expected that his grandmother would not have anything good to say. Hearing this, she smiled lightly, and said in a sweet, soft and glutinous voice as if respectfully: "Grandmother, don't worry, the Xie family has long been separated, and whether the granddaughter is good or not, it will not affect the uncle." As for the elder brother, he and his granddaughter are the same mother, so they don't care about this. ”

It was not the first time that the eldest princess of peace had been bumped into by this granddaughter, she smiled faintly, but there was endless desolation in her smile.

"The first half of the palace was full of fresh clothes and horses, chic and wanton, and at that time I never thought that I would one day send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. Therefore, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Yan He, you can do it yourself. ”

Mama Gong suddenly clenched her fists angrily, and the words that the eldest princess of peace seemed to admonish were actually more like a curse. Mama Gong hated it in her heart, if she came to Your Majesty, would the eldest princess of peace dare to say that?!

However, Xie Yanhe didn't seem to hear the beating in the words of the eldest princess of Ping'an, she smiled slightly, and said very obediently: "Grandmother's words, granddaughter must take it to heart." The granddaughter will not disappoint the grandmother. ”

"Chunxue, go back to the palace." There is no need for the eldest princess of peace to stay.

"Congratulations to Grandmother." Xie Yanhe didn't even want to say a kind word.

After the eldest princess of Ping'an left, Mama Gong was suddenly overjoyed, and she choked up and said, "County Lord, you have finally come to the end of your hardships." ”

Xie Yanhe pursed the corners of his mouth reservedly, but the smile in his peach blossom eyes couldn't hide it. She couldn't forget that when she left the palace, Wei Zhao sat in the carriage and sent her all the way to the gate of the Marquis of Jingping's mansion. Just as she was about to get out of the car, a low, magnetic voice came from her ears: "Mianmian, when will you give birth to a little prince for me?" ”

Xie Yanhe knew that Wei Zhao was looking forward to the child they conceived together. Xie Yanhe secretly swore that no matter what, she would give her children the best in the world.

A few families are happy and a few are sad.

At this moment, the East Palace was shrouded in a thick cloud.

In the small study, Wei Jin sat on the top with a gloomy face, his eyes swept around the courtiers, except for Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue, the two core figures, Deng Qiugu, Han Jun, and Cui Shigao did not arrive.

Wei Jin reluctantly waited for a stick of incense, but the three of them still had no way. His face became more and more gloomy, and his handsome eyes were as black as ink, and he said lightly: "Don't wait, let's start the discussion." ”

Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue were both silent, and no one wanted to be this budding bird.

These two people are Wei Jin's right-hand men, and Wei Jin does not dare to offend, so he can only turn his attention to Cheng Enbo, who is a new official. The gloom in Wei Jin's eyes temporarily subsided a little, and he said in a kind tone: "Uncle, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Faced with the problem given to him by the prince, Cheng Enbo Chen Yanqing's heart was bitter, this pair of supreme father and son fought with each other, he had a four-grade family order, where would there be any high opinions, and where would he dare to have high opinions!

But yesterday, his wife had already offended the crown princess thoroughly, and Chen Yanqing didn't regard the prince in front of him as a nephew, let alone dare to put his uncle's score in front of the prince. Hearing this, he could only rack his brains and say: "Your Highness, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty's will is quite inappropriate, and those officials will not sit idly by." ”

This is all nonsense! Wei Jin frowned, and quickly let go. This uncle who became a monk halfway is far worse than his own uncle, just like Rong'er said, the Cheng Enbo family and himself are not of the same heart!

But right now, Wei Jin couldn't attack, his thin lips were lightly hooked, and his calm tone revealed a hint of coldness: "Uncle's words are bad, the words of this dynasty are not as hard as the bones of the previous dynasty." Since Shangshu Province did not stop this holy decree, it means that Wenchen has agreed. ”

Even Pei Zhongshu, the most upright of the three Zaifu, chose to stand by and watch, let alone Zhang and Wang. These three people are the direction of the wind of the Chinese courtiers, and they do not oppose it, and the henchmen who are attached to the three of them are naturally even less likely to oppose it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Wechen has been away from Beijing for too long, and those former fellow disciples have long stopped contacting, if not, they can still help His Royal Highness the Prince, they are all Wechen incompetent." Chen Yanqing's face was ashamed.

The reason why those fellow subjects are estranged from Chen Yanqing is also the handiwork of their uncle. Back then, Wei Jin also acquiesced to this matter. Now that Chen Yanqing mentioned it, although Wei Jin did not feel guilty in his heart, his face was a little delicate.

He said gently, "Uncle has a heart. Lone thanked his uncle here. ”

"Wechen is ashamed!" Chen Yanqing hurriedly got up from his seat, how could he dare to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say thank you.

Wei Jin's eyes flashed, and the smile on the corner of his lips became more and more gentle: "Uncle doesn't have to be so careful, Gu and Uncle are both family." ”

After Wei Jin finished saying this, seeing that Chen Yanqing really didn't have any good strategy, he could only pin his hopes on Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue, not like the superficial respect for Chen Yanqing, Wei Jin bowed solemnly in the direction of Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue, and said humbly: "Today's matter, please ask the two gentlemen to teach me." ”

Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue secretly exchanged glances, and took the lead in saying: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, you can make this big gift, but you can be embarrassed." ”

Huang Weijue also said: "Weichen is only a shallow learner, and he can't afford such a big gift from His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Wei Jin didn't care about the humility of the two people, his face was sincere, and he said earnestly: "You two are both lonely gentlemen, and you will solve your doubts for the lonely teaching." As a single prince, he should respect his teacher and set an example for the world. ”

With the eyesight of Gu Jiuheng and Huang Weijue, they could naturally see that the prince's words were sincere. Gu Jiuheng sighed faintly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, since the holy decree has been issued, there is no reason to change it. You should know, Chrysostom. ”

"But in this way, loneliness has become a joke of the world." Wei Jin's heart could not hide the agitation, and his handsome face showed a few lines, revealing unspeakable anger and grievances.

Gu Jiuheng was silent. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't been stunned and withdrew from the marriage with the county lord of Yonghe, where would there be this now. It can only be said that the cause and effect are obtained.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are the prince of a country, the future son of heaven, who dares to laugh at you." Gu Jiuheng teased his eyelids, and his clear and elegant face with a bit of fairy wind and bones suddenly showed a little fierce color, and he said earnestly: "When the first emperor was still there, Your Majesty's situation was much more difficult than you are now. Who looked at His Majesty again at that time?! But now......"

Gu Jiuheng paused and accentuated his tone: "Now that Your Majesty is powerful all over the world, the people live in peace, and the outsiders are subservient, who dares to laugh at Your Majesty." ”

Gu Jiuheng's implication is to let the prince make some achievements, so that he can't say that he is a courtier, even His Majesty will not look down on the prince.

But Wei Jin obviously had his own ideas.

"Sir, you don't understand. Lone has never had a sacred heart, and even a few royal sisters are more dignified than Lone in front of their father. If Lone really made some political achievements, how could he allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch! I'm afraid that by that time, my father will become more and more afraid of loneliness. ”

Gu Jiuheng was choked by the prince's words, and almost rolled his eyes regardless of his image. What kind of misunderstanding does this Royal Highness the Crown Prince have about his own abilities! With his qualifications, it will never be possible for His Majesty to be jealous!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right." Huang Weijue was not afraid of the high stage when watching the play, and fanned the flames on the side.

Gu Jiuheng's pupils shrank, and he glanced deeply at the colleague opposite who had worked with him for many years, and there was a little more thought in his heart.

Huang Weijue felt that something was wrong today. As far as Gu Jiuheng knows, the Huang family is a staunch princeling, but today's performance of Huang Weijue seems to have changed course and is secretly digging a pit for the prince.

"Does Lord Huang think so too?" Wei Jin suddenly met a bosom friend, his eyes flashed, and his face was solemn: "Loneliness can't sit still, I don't know what Lord Huang thinks?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has no high opinions." Huang Weijue said slowly, and after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince's extremely disappointed face, he continued: "Your Majesty has set the wedding date for August 20, and there are still two months to prepare. These two months can give birth to many variables. ”

"What Mr. Huang means ......" Wei Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and made a gesture of cutting off his head.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion is heavily guarded, and Qinglongwei is haunted. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that we can find a chance to start? ”

Huang Weijue's words immediately stopped Wei Jin. Wei Jin's team is all given to him by the emperor, and if he assassinates him in the capital, whether it is successful or not, he will definitely leave a flaw first.

"Then according to Mr. Niu, what should Lone do?" Although Wei Jin is not a celestial attitude, and he is reluctant to even be a king, he can listen to other people's opinions, which can be regarded as an advantage.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you want to stop this marriage, the first thing you have to do is to delay the time, and then slowly figure it out. Don't forget, the lord of Yonghe County has no parents and only one brother. If Xie Han has an accident, the eldest brother is like a father, and the county lord of Yonghe needs to keep filial piety for a year. ”

Huang Weijue's idea was extremely vicious, but it happened to scratch Wei Jin's itch, Wei Jin didn't care about how difficult it was to implement this plan at the moment, he high-fived and praised: "Mr. is worthy of being a sir, today's words, Gu has benefited a lot." ”
