Chapter 44 This king has been promoted
At night, Rong Hao lay on Su Xia's bed.
The candles in the room went out, and Rong Hao thought about things, his brows furrowed slightly.
Su Xia stretched out his finger and gently stroked Rong Hao's eyebrows, "Lord Wang, what makes you so unhappy?" ”
Rong Hao didn't hide it from her, and told her about today's events one by one. When it came to Concubine Hua and the King of Guangling County that they were going to be sent to Guangling tomorrow, Su Xia let out an enlightened "oh". "No wonder my father came back with a spring breeze on his face today, and Mrs. Nahua was like swallowing a fly today, and she didn't dare to speak loudly, because this backer had fallen." She smiled slightly and lay on Rong Hao's chest, "Lord Wang, you see that people are really not as good as heaven." ”
Rong Hao nodded, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Su Xia's back, and stroked it gently, "Yes." I was still thinking about how to make your mother-in-law confess her guilt and be punished, but now that her backer has fallen like this, it is much easier to sit up for some things. ”
Su Xia raised his head, a pair of peach blossom eyes shining, "Yes, the prince is the best." Think about me in everything. also came over the wall every day to sing this West Chamber with me, Su Xia was really moved. ”
Rong Hao lowered his head and sealed her small mouth, pressed the back of her head dotingly, and kissed her fiercely. She didn't let go until her breath was uneven. "Then you have to repay this king well. Just now this is your thank you gift. ”
Su Xia pursed her lips, her little mouth was kissed red, like a peach blossom in March, "Lord Wang, you still take advantage of it by all means." But then again, isn't your father afraid of chilling your heart by doing this? Your brother wants your life! ”
"Don't be afraid, I will be rewarded tomorrow, you can wait and see." Rong Hao is confident.
The night is long, and the night is waiting for people to grind. The spring color outside the window is just right, and the figures in the window are in pairs.
On the second day, Rong Hao climbed over the wall and went back to his house, and accompanied by Gonggong Li, he came to Su Mansion. When he waited for the good news, he wanted to share it with Su Xia.
Su Mansion now has a faint new atmosphere. Because of Concubine Hua's decline, Mrs. Hua didn't dare to make more trouble, and Su Jiaojiao was also told every day not to make trouble.
Su Xiang was very relieved, Su Wan married into the most noble military general's family in the capital as a concubine, and his sixth daughter Su Xia also had a deep affection with the seventh prince every day, he felt for a while that it didn't hurt to have a son, his daughter was obedient and well-behaved, and he knew that it would be good to have a few more daughters back then.
Su Xiang went out to welcome Rong Hao in. Rong Hao walked side by side with him, and suddenly, Rong Hao caught a glimpse of Su Jiaojiao hiding in the corner gate, she was obviously not as bright and haggard as a few days ago in spring.
But apparently hearing Rong Haolai, he had already dressed up, wearing a smoky purple gauze skirt and a ruby head on his head. The face was powdered, and Rouge and Daimo forcibly piled up a good spirit.
Rong Hao stood still and beckoned to her, "Why is the eldest lady standing at the corner gate?" Is there anything important to tell this king? ”
Su Xiang has actually always liked this concubine, she is beautiful, smart, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is the best at coquettishness. In the past few days, due to the changes in Concubine Hua, Mrs. Hua has restrained a lot, and Su's disgust with her has been reduced a little, and looking at Rong Hao's eyes, Su Jiaojiao looked at this side pitifully, so it was not pitiful.
Su Xiang also asked: "Jiaojiao, why did you come to the corner gate today??" ”
Su Jiaojiao wrung the handkerchief in her hand aggrievedly, and slowly moved closer with small steps. gave a salute to Rong Hao and Su Xiang, and replied delicately: "My father has not come to my mother's room in recent days, and every time Jiaojiao wants to see her father, she is afraid that her father is busy with official business, and she is afraid of disturbing you." I don't dare to see it, but I always think about whether my father eats well, whether I wear warm clothes, and now that the spring flowers are in full bloom, Jiaojiao is afraid that this good day is in vain, and I always think that even if my father doesn't like Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao can take a look at it from a distance. As he spoke, tears flowed down very cooperatively, and he raised his head, opened his red eyes, and glanced at Rong Hao pitifully.
If Ji Ming saw her expression at this time, it would be a matter for Su Jiaojiao to blink if he let him divorce his wife. But today she met Rong Hao, who had read all the books and had enough of a strange flower in the Qinglou, how could she be deceived by her little tricks.
"Oh? Is this really the case, don't think about it? Although I look at Miss Su's face a little haggard, her body is still as plump as ever. Su Xiang, do you want to check the recent kitchen receipts, is it that someone has treated the eldest lady badly, and the amount of ingredients recited in her yard is too small? Rong Hao touched the wrench on his finger and said as if he was not smiling.
Su Jiaojiao was choked for a while, she really didn't have anything to be unhappy about, no matter how she said that her mother was still a grandmother, she was also a concubine, even if the aunt in her palace was released in Guangling, it didn't have much impact on her and her mother. Her mother has always disliked that aunt very much, and now she is sent away by the emperor's hand, Su Jiaojiao and Mrs. Hua can't ask for it.
She heard that Rong Hao was coming over early in the morning, so she specially asked the girl to apply the light tone of the thrush to the bottom of her eyes, and then cover it with rouge gouache, so that she could show a kind of tiredness, so that her father and the seventh prince would also feel distressed. But somehow, the Seventh Prince didn't seem to eat this set, and suddenly exposed his little tricks.
Su Xiang sighed, although Su Jiaojiao was beautiful and cute, her mind followed her mother, nine twists and eighteen bends, and there were too many flowers, "Jiaojiao, what are you doing in front of a foreign man for no reason?" Did your mother educate you about female virtues? Su Xiang reprimanded and pointed in the direction of the backyard, "You can go back to my room now and think about it, copy "Female Virtue" twenty times, and give it to me tomorrow!" ”
Su Jiaojiao looked at Su Xiang's face unkindly, and thought that if she didn't copy "Female Virtue" today, she probably wouldn't be so good, so she had to look back at Rong Hao step by step and walk to the backyard.
Walking to the hall, Su Xiang and Rong Hao sat down. The two sat down to drink tea and chat about current affairs. Now Rong Hao is the only one of the emperor's princes to enter the cabinet, so there is no such thing as a personal relationship with a powerful minister.
Before the tea was drunk, the servant outside the door led a person dressed as a eunuch in the palace to come. The little eunuch was not very old, his body was relatively thin, he was wearing a wide robe and coat, and he had a black gauze hat on his head, which was a little funny, Rong Hao saw him and thought that Su Xia was also like this that day, and couldn't help laughing.
Everyone heard Rong Hao chuckling, and they all turned their heads to look at him without knowing what was happening, but Rong Hao waved his hand and signaled that he should not pay attention to himself.
The little eunuch took out a bright yellow silk satin from his arms and raised it above his head, "Seventh prince, the emperor has decreed that from now on, you will be crowned the prince, given the name Prince Yan, and continue to lead the forbidden army, congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince." ”
Rong Hao stood up with a smile, not shocked at all. At this time, he had already expected it, and took the holy decree with both hands, folded it and put it into the placket of his clothes.
Su Xiang and all the servants knelt down and saluted Rong Hao, and Rong Hao waved his hand and excused them. said to Gonggong Li behind him: "This king has been rewarded today, so your benefits are indispensable." The order went down, and today the palace and the whole palace were rewarded with two taels of silver, and Su Xiang's side, since he received the edict in his palace, there was no reason not to reward him, and everyone was rewarded in the same palace. ”
The crowd was thankful again. The Seven Kings' Mansion opened the silver treasury to reward people. And over there, Rong Wei has been escorted, with his luggage, with the princess and Concubine Hua, to Guangling District, to be his king of Guangling County. A few families are happy and a few are sad.
When the carriage rumbled past the Seven Princes' Mansion, Rong Wei glared at Rong Hao's Mansion through gritted teeth, and at this moment the Seven Princes' Mansion was happily distributing silver, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Concubine Hua wiped the tears on her face, "Emperor, your move is dangerous, if you had discussed it with me that day, you would not have ended up in this field." ”
The eldest princess had just given birth, her body was weak, and her blood was profuse, so she didn't sit in a carriage with the two of them, she lay in the carriage behind, and Concubine Hua and Rong Wei sat in the carriage in front. Since leaving the palace, it has been chattering endlessly, which makes people irritable. Rong Wei was already in a bad mood, and when he heard his mother complaining in his ear all the time, his heart was on fire.
He kicked the box in the carriage hard, and said hatefully, "Who would have thought that there would be such a thing! If it weren't for the fact that the old guy was illiterate and confused, how could he have left a handle for his father to discover! ”
Concubine Hua didn't even have time to apply rouge gouache today, and when she heard the words, she felt that Rong Wei was very unhappy in her heart, so she shut up. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the carriage was passing through the Su Province at this time.
She looked in expectantly, hoping to see her sister Mrs. Hua come out to see her off for a ride. But apparently she was thinking too much, and the Su Mansion was also distributing rewards, and everyone was happy, and they didn't see her arrogant sister. Concubine Hua sighed faintly, "Emperor, don't think about those things that don't belong to us, now that the life of the family has been saved, your father and the emperor have also left you a position as the king of the county, which is already grateful." ”
Rong Wei sighed helplessly, "What else, if it weren't for the blessing brought to me by my newborn emperor, I'm afraid I would have been in a different place at this moment." Pity my emperor, who was separated from his father and mother as soon as he was born, so pitiful. As he spoke, he suddenly felt sad, and before he could take a look at the newborn child, he was forcibly taken away by the palace people and given to Ronghai.
In the carriage behind, the cry of the eldest princess came intermittently. She was a very strict person, and at this moment, the child who was pregnant for ten months was snatched away, and she definitely couldn't let go of it in her heart, crying out for her relatives, scolding Rong Wei's incompetence, and separating their mother and son.
The carriage went away quietly, and gradually disappeared as it went.
In Su Xia's small courtyard, Rong Hao was tired of being by her side. They already knew about Rong Hao's appointment as the prince, and after the joy, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility.
Su Xia was learning embroidery with Cuihua, and when she saw Su Wan embroidering her own red hijab that day, she was also a little moved, after all, this custom still sounds quite tempting, doesn't it? There is a head and a tail, it is the wish of all girls in love!
Rong Hao quietly held his cheeks and watched her embroider stitches and threads. Su Xia's embroidery is really bad, Cuihua kept demonstrating to her, teaching her to adjust the angle and stitching method of the needle, Rong Hao just watched her embroider for an hour, and he didn't feel bored at all. He thought to himself, this is what people call the pleasure of the boudoir, right?
