Chapter 123

"Now, you're back. Mr. Qi was already waiting in the study. Xiao Huaimin came out of Concubine De's palace and returned to his house. As soon as he entered the gate, the housekeeper greeted him, took the cloak that Xiao Huaimin had taken off, and said to Xiao Huaimin.

"Did I have all the things that Mr. Qi arranged before I entered the palace?" Xiao Huaimin asked as he walked towards the study. The housekeeper hurriedly replied, "It's all prepared according to your instructions, and the little one ordered someone to pack up Lijingxuan and pick up the best things and send them over." Lijingxuan is just behind your Xianhui Hall, surrounded by bamboo forests, quiet and elegant, Mr. Qi has also seen it, he likes it very much. ”

"That's good, let the people who serve be careful, there don't have to be too many people, Mr. likes to be quiet, pick a few clever points in the past." Xiao Huaimin commanded, and while speaking, they had already walked to the Xianhui Hall. The study is in the outer courtyard of the Xianhui Hall, and it is to enter the hanging flower gate and bypass the verandah.

In front of the "down" weeping flower door, the princess Wang Ruofang came over with a maid, and when she saw Xiao Huaimin from a distance, she called. Xiao Huaimin stopped, looked at Wang Ruofang and frowned, "Why are you here?"

Wang Ruofang walked up to Xiao Huaimin and saluted, and said softly, "I know that I will come back today, so the concubine wants to take a look at everything." Wang Ruofang hung her head, she was born ordinary, her eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose were ordinary, she always looked gentle, and she really didn't look brilliant. Xiao Huaimin has always respected his wife and lacked intimacy, and when he saw Wang Ruofang at this time, he just said officially, "I'm fine, I just went to the palace to see my mother, and my mother is full of praise for you." I'm away from home, thank you for your hard work. ”

Wang Ruofang bowed again, "Don't dare, serving the mother concubine is the responsibility of the concubine." ”

Xiao Huaimin looked at Wang Ruofen's respectful appearance, and lost the mind to gossip with her, turned his head and said, "I still have something to discuss with Mr. Qi, you can go back first." I'll see you later. ”

When Wang Ruofen heard this, the disappointment in her eyes flashed, but her face was still obedient, "Concubine understands, you will only come back, pay attention to your son, don't work too hard." The concubine retired. ”

Xiao Huaimin nodded, and without waiting for Wang Ruofen to leave, he stepped into the Hanging Flower Gate first. After two or three steps, it will be far. The housekeeper stood at the door with Xiao Huaimin's cloak, Xiao Huaimin's study was easily not allowed to enter, so the housekeeper could only stop here, he looked at Wang Ruofen and said with a smile, "The princess, this errand is well done, the saint Longyan Dayue is diligent, don't mind the princess." ”

Wang Ruofen smiled at the housekeeper, "I understand." This is the next cloak" The housekeeper looked at the things in his hand and replied, "Exactly, the next time I go back to Beijing, I will enter the palace to greet the saint, and my clothes have not been changed." The little one saw that a small piece of this cloak was worn out, and he didn't find it under it. ”

"Give it to me." Wang Ruofen stretched out her hand and took the cloak that the housekeeper was holding. The "princess" housekeeper was stunned, and he was about to send this to the sewing room to be repaired.

"I remember that this cloak was specially made by my mother last year. I used good leather and Yunjin, and the people in the sewing room did other things in peace, but I'm afraid they won't be careful, so I'll do it myself. Wang Ruofen's hand stroked over the surface of the cloak, her eyes were gentle, her eyes were like water, and her ordinary face was a little more vivid and soft in an instant.

The housekeeper said yes in a loud voice, and sighed in his heart, if the princess was like this in front of the three princes, how could they be so alienated from each other

"The next look is bright, presumably this time I entered the palace, it is very complete" In the study, the tall and thin scholar in Tsing Yi looked at Xiao Huaimin who walked in with his head held high and smiled, this scholar is the Mr. Qi that the housekeeper talked about with Xiao Huaimin. His real name is Qi Min, and he is a person. is over forty years old, but he doesn't show his age, his knowledge and knowledge are all first-class, but it's a pity that someone in the family committed something and was implicated. The imperial examination can be said to be hopeless.

Qi Min was originally just an ordinary staff member on Xiao Huaimin's side, this time Xiao Huaimin went to Fujian for disaster relief, Qi Min volunteered to accompany Xiao Huaimin, mixing soil in porridge and water, and putting bark and grass roots in rice grain was Qi Min's idea for Xiao Huaimin.

In fact, the disaster relief in Fujian is far from being as easy as Xiao Huaimin himself said, the black-hearted grain merchants collude with each other to hoard Juqi, the disaster victims and displaced people do not obey the discipline and gather all living beings, plus the ordinary people are mixed in with the intention of receiving more food, if Qi Min had not given him these ideas by his side, the victims of the disaster in Fujian would have mutinied a long time ago.

It was also the trip to Fujian that made Xiao Huaimin trust Qi Min more.

"Mr. Qi, don't make fun of me, if it weren't for Mr. Qi, I would have entered the palace to receive the punishment this time." Xiao Huaimin smiled at Qi Min, stepped forward and cordially pulled Qi Min to sit down on the chair, "When I met my father this time, I really talked about adding things to the porridge and water, and I replied according to what Mr. taught me, and my father really did not blame me but praised it." ”

"Oh, did the saint mention this matter, or did someone else talk about it" Qi Min asked, the smile on Xiao Huaimin's face disappeared, thinking of Xiao Huaide, the second prince in the imperial study, Xiao Huaimin said coldly, "My father didn't mention this matter, my good second brother didn't know how he knew, and he was busy talking about it in front of his father, and wanted to ask me about my sin." ”

"The second prince has been in the court for a long time, but he has not done a serious errand. He thought that he had to be the only one in the disaster relief in Fujian, but he was preempted by the third prince, and he was naturally unwilling. Qi Min smiled slightly and said, "But the third prince doesn't have to care, the second prince is paranoid, and his joy and anger are colorful." Such a person is best dealt with, and it will not become a big deal. ”

"That's what Mr. Qi said." Xiao Huaimin nodded, he looked ahead, as if unintentionally, "If you want to say that the eldest brother's life is good, he will be crowned the prince early." No matter how much the people below us are favored, no matter how capable they are, they can't go beyond him. ”

"It's not a foregone conclusion if the prince is established, isn't Prince Huixi of the previous dynasty canonized as soon as he landed, but as a result, he was established and abolished, and the deep palace was finally bleak and died." Qi Min took the tea and said slowly, "It's man-made, it's down." ”

Xiao Huaimin's eyes sank, and then he smiled again, "Mr. is reasonable, and I will ask Mr. to teach me more in the future." ”

The two sat and drank tea for a while, and Qi Min said again, "Next, there is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." Xiao Huaimin hurriedly said, "Mr. can speak as bluntly, I regard Mr. as a teacher, Mr. is in front of me, there is no need to be formal, just speak freely." ”

"Then I'll get straight to the point." Qi Min looked at Xiao Huaimin and said slowly, "Your wife is out of the Wang family, although the Wang family is a noble family, but now there are few Wang families in the middle of the court. Stained with the word Qinggui, the Wang family is also more than famous, and the real power is insufficient. ”

Xiao Huaimin sighed and said, "I also know that Ruofen is the concubine personally selected by my father for me, and although she is too strict and rigorous, she has never been wrong. ”

"I misunderstood, I didn't mean to say these words, I didn't want you to abandon the princess." Qi Min waved his hand and said, "The wife values virtue, and with the family background of the Wang family, the next big thing will be accomplished, and the position of the princess and concubine in the main palace also complements each other." I mean, wouldn't it be perfect to marry one or two more daughters of a family who would help you."

"I am a prince who has not yet been crowned a king, where is there a family willing to let their daughter come over to me as a side concubine, not to mention, the prince has already been decided. The prince's side concubine, if she can't keep it in the future, she can still be a concubine or even a successor. What is my side concubine? Xiao Huaimin laughed at himself, Qi Min smiled leisurely, and said, "What you lack now is just an excuse to have a relationship with a real power family, as long as it is the daughter of that family, what does it matter if you are a concubine or a concubine?"

"It's impossible for the daughter of the main house, naturally there are also her cousins of the same clan." Qi Min said. Xiao Huaimin glanced at Qi Min, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be smiling, "Mr. said so, but there is already a candidate in my heart."

Qi Min looked at Xiao Huaimin, "The second lady of the Jingyong Mansion, my father Yu Enrong is just the head of the Sixth Grade Rite Department, and in this way, the third prince has taken a fancy to his daughter, but he has greatly promoted him." ”

"Jingyong Mansion" Xiao Huaimin was a little ridiculous, Qi Min was puzzled, "What, the third prince is to Jingyong Mansion" Xiao Huaimin shook his head and said, "Sir, don't get me wrong, it's not that I have any opinion about Jingyong Mansion, it's really a coincidence." Earlier, I heard them talk about the young lady of the Jingyong Mansion in the palace of the concubine, and now the husband actually suggested the Jingyong Mansion to me. ”

"Concubine De, Niangniang, is there anyone in the palace who has taken a fancy to the young lady of the Jingyong Mansion," Qi Min asked.

"It's not the daughter of the Jingyong Mansion, but the cousin of his family." Xiao Huaimin said, "My little uncle, who has been hard-mouthed for so many years, is finally relieved now. Listening to the meaning of the concubine, he still fell in love with the Yu family's cousin. Now I am afraid that the young lady is still keeping filial piety, so everyone is still pretending to be confused. ”

"Miss Yu Family" Qi Min's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "But the only daughter of Mu Jiangxuan, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Miss Mu Jia"

"Exactly, why, Mr. also knows her" Xiao Huaimin said curiously, Qi Min sighed a little disappointed, "Naturally, I know, if it weren't for Miss Mu still in filial piety, I would have wanted to suggest her to the prince." ”

"Although Mu Daren is gone, he has been the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for many years, in charge of the military and political affairs, although the people are gone, but the old family is still there. Miss Mu has no relatives and brothers, if the third prince can marry her, wouldn't it be a dignified province to accept the Mu family's power. Qi Min regretted everything, "It's really a creation, but it's okay, although the Mu family has a deep heritage, it can't compare to the military exploits of the Jingyong Mansion, and now the generals of the DPRK and China have a lot of friends with the old Jingyong Gong, and even the current commander of the Imperial Forest Army was once the deputy general of the old man, if he is married to the Yu family and successfully meddles in the military power, then the chips in his hand will soon be more abundant, and it will be said that Xiucai rebelled, and it will not be successful for three years. If you want to achieve great things, everything else is false, and you have to have soldiers and horses in your hands. ”

"So, I'm a little envious of my little uncle." But the matter has come to this point, and Xiao Huaimin has no choice but to stop.

"The second room of the Yu family." Xiao Huaimin read softly, "However, even if it is only a side, I am a prince after all, so I naturally have to sue my parents." My father may not want me to accept a girl from the Jingyong Mansion. Even I know the weight of military power, let alone my father. My father is the emperor for my father, and in terms of military power, he even guards against his heart, the prince, let alone me. ”

"It's a matter of people. If the next is a son who gives the emperor what he takes, then I will not be in front of him at this moment. The old god Qi Min said.

Xiao Huaimin's eyes flashed, "Mr. is reasonable, if I can't even do it, let alone anything else." Although Xiao Huaimin made up his mind, he also knew that this matter was not easy.

"Sir, I heard from my mother that the eldest daughter of Duke Jingyong was married to the Jiang family, and the sixth sister took advantage of this marriage to go to Duke Jingyong's mansion to see the daughter of the Mu family for my little uncle. This Jiang family is the maiden family of Empress Chunxi and the in-laws of the sixth sister, but they are hardcore royalists. You said, this marriage between the Yu family and the Jiang family, there is a father's meaning in this," Xiao Huaimin asked.

This Qi Min dared to plan such a major matter by the prince's side, and naturally he knew the situation in Beijing well, "After thinking about it, at least the emperor is happy to see this marriage come to fruition." For a family like Jing Yonggong, the scope of marriage is actually limited. Either one step higher into the royal family, or choose one of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Beijing. The emperor will not be happy to marry the daughter of Duke Jing Yong to the prince, His Majesty will not even guard against the prince, let alone the courtiers, let alone sit back and watch them form one, and in turn restrain the king. The Jiang family, the family of relatives, and the sixth princess do not have a half-brother, so His Majesty is naturally happy to see this marriage. After all, the knife still has to be held in your own hand to feel at ease. Qi Min said meaningfully.

Xiao Huaimin hooked the corners of his mouth, "In this way, I will be more comfortable with this side." "The chapter content is being restored in an effort to be restored, so please visit it later.
