Seeing that Gaozong took the initiative to mention this matter, Cangxi said: "Erchen knows that the princess is interested in Erchen, but in the matter of marriage, you have to pay attention to your affection and my wishes." Erchen knew that he had no chance to send it, so he simply didn't leave her a thought that she could get close to Erchen. ”

Gaozong fell into a son and said: "The matter of marriage, of course, pays attention to your love and my wishes. But isn't that man in the world three wives and four concubines? ”

The men of Chengzhou are all three wives and four concubines, what does it have to do with him?

"Erchen has no chance to send it. I can't marry her, and I won't lose porcelain. Cang Xi declined.

Gaozong still did not give up, and said: "I can't talk about losing it. I have spoiled your mother for many years, but there are still many women such as Shen Guifei, Song Fei, and Shi Guiren. ”

Cangxi retorted: "My father has always had a deep affection for my mother, and he is always favored by the three thousand in the harem. Erchen can't be like a father to a mother, so he can only give porcelain a sense of security as much as possible. ”

Gaozong heard the meaning of Cangxi's words and asked, "In your opinion, which is more attractive, this country or Fu porcelain?" ”

Jiangshan's surname is Zhou, what does it have to do with him!

But Cangxi was still taken aback by Gaozong's words, quickly got up and knelt on the ground, and said: "The country has its own prince, and it is assisted by the eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother. Erchen is not talented, he just wants to be an idler who travels the mountains and rivers. ”

Gaozong looked at Cangxi kneeling on the ground with mixed feelings. In terms of talent, how can Zhou compare to Cangxi? Zhou is talented, but far less than Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi's talent is still lacking compared with Cangxi. The reason why Zhou Ze was the prince was because he took a fancy to Zhou Ze's solid and willing work. Second, it is because Zhou Ze is much more tactful than Zhou Yi.

Thinking of this, Gaozong put down the chess pieces in his hand and said, "You get up first." ”

After Cangxi got up, Gao Zongcai pinched another white piece and put it on the chessboard.

Gaozong's move can be described as exquisite. On the surface, it makes a piece of white look desperate, but in fact, it puts Kuroko's defense in a difficult situation. Cangxi understood Gaozong's move, and really gave full play to the "desire to capture and indulge" in "Thirty-six Strategies".

The chess game has been clear, and Cangxi is no longer dying and struggling to do some useless work, and simply gives up his hand and says: "My father is a good chess player, and my son is willing to bow to the wind." ”

Gaozong smiled and said: "Xi'er should understand that everything in the world can only be gained. ”

Cangxi naturally knew what Gaozong was referring to. But he didn't think it was a reasonable deal to marry the princess Fu Xuan.

Although I think so, I can't say it with my mouth. Cang Xi still knew how to be polite and waved his hand, and said: "Erchen remember the teachings of his father. ”

Gaozong nodded, picked up the tea that had been cooled aside, and took a sip before asking, "Which third lady of the Fu family still lives in your mansion?" ”

"Back to my father's words, Erchen has already asked Cang'er to send the third lady back to the Guogong Mansion safely this morning." Cangxi replied.

Cangxi's answer Gaozong was very satisfied. After all, they haven't gotten married yet, and it's not appropriate to live together in an unjustifiable way. But when he thought that Fu Yuyue's matter had already been done, and he secretly suppressed this matter, he felt a little guilty about the three girls of the Fu family in his heart. I couldn't help but say: "I will urge the queen to choose an auspicious day for you to get married as soon as possible." ”

After getting Gaozong's words, Cangxi was naturally overjoyed. It stands to reason that it is not inappropriate for Gaozong to set the wedding date, but if the queen does not nod, Gaozong will not interfere too much in this matter.

Cangxi is well aware of this truth.

"Thank you, father." Cangxi said.

Gaozong waved his hand, and before he could say anything, Hu Yihui entered the side hall and reported: "Holy Lord, the queen mother has invited the princess." ”

Gaozong glanced at Hu Yihui, stood up and said, "Go back to the queen, and say that I will go with Prince Xi." ”

When Hu Yihui heard Gaozong's words, he quickly knelt on the ground and said in embarrassment: "Holy Lord, the queen mother said, said-"

Gaozong dislikes the people around him the most, especially the people who serve him closely. Seeing that Hu Yihui was hesitating at the moment, he couldn't help but urge: "What does the queen say, it will be truthful!" ”

Hu Yihui kowtowed, looked like he was facing a great enemy, and said, "Niangniang has explained, let the prince go alone." ”

When Gaozong heard this, his face was a little unbearable, and he coughed dryly.

He didn't expect Fu Yingge to play really this time.

Isn't it that I spoil her too much on weekdays?

Cangxi's marriage, to put it mildly, is a happy event for a son to get married. To say that it is the marriage of the two nobles of the Cang family and the Fu family. As for whether to say it in a small way or in a big way, it all depends on Gaozong's words.

Originally, it was a family affair. Now that Fu Yingge has made such a fuss, Gaozong feels more and more that this is a state affair. And the queen's move is to interfere in politics!

"In that case, you bring King Xi over," Gaozong said coldly.

Cangxi saw Gaozong's gloomy face, and bowed very knowingly and followed Hu Yihui to the Middle Palace.

Along the way, Cangxi walked very fast. After all, the harem door will be under the key after dark. At that time, if you want to leave the palace again, it will be a little troublesome. What's more, when she thought that the queen was Fu Yuyue's aunt, Cangxi felt a little uneasy in her heart. Gaozong did not mean to investigate Fu Xuanyue and Zhou Ze because of the assassination, presumably this matter will soon be calm.

Cangxi felt that it was better to take advantage of Gaozong's failure to make a good excuse for the assassination a few days ago, and quickly finalize his marriage with Fu Ci. Otherwise, once Gaozong finds a scapegoat, he may have a long night of dreams about his relationship with Fu Ci.

Thinking about it, Cangxi and Hu Yihui came to the gate of the Middle Palace.

Hu Yihui stood still at the door, saluted Cangxi, and said, "The slave still has something to do in the imperial study, so he won't send the prince in." ”

Hearing Hu Yihui's words, Cangxi couldn't stop him, and politely let Hu Yihui go. But when he thought that the slave who was eager to curry favor with his master on weekdays suddenly retreated from the person on the tip of Gaozong's heart, anyone with a discerning eye could guess that the queen must be unhappy at this time!

Hu Yihui can go, but he can't go. Since you can't escape, you can only go in.

Coming to the middle palace, Cangxi glanced at the person sitting on it.

Sure enough, as he expected, Fu Xuanyue was also there.

Cangxi knelt down and arched his hand: "The son of the minister to see the queen mother." ”

Fu Yingge didn't let Cangxi get up, but he didn't make it too difficult. took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and then lightly ordered someone to sit.

Fu Yuyue saw Cangxi get up and immediately curtsied his knees to salute Cangxi. In front of the queen, Cangxi couldn't act too recklessly, and said hello to Fu Xuan in a humble manner.

Seeing that the person he admired was sitting opposite him at the moment, Fu Yuyue was happy and ashamed in his heart, as if the humiliation he had suffered a few days ago no longer existed.

"Xi'er's body is healed?" Fu Yingge asked.

Cangxi bowed slightly, and said: "Thanks to the queen mother's concern, the son's injury is not a big problem. ”

Fu Yingge grew up watching Cangxi, and her feelings are still very strong. She knew in her heart that the knife wound was not so easy to heal, and Cangxi was the kind of person who knocked out her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach, so she felt a little distressed for a while, so she said: "This palace will ask Yao Tao to go to the Tai Hospital to pass a message to Taiyi Li." These days, let Imperial Doctor Li live in your house. ”

Cangxi bowed his head again and said, "Thank you for your mother's concern, it's just that Imperial Doctor Li takes care of her mother all year round, and it's better to stay with your mother." ”

As soon as Fu Xuanyue heard this, he hurriedly said: "If the prince doesn't take care of it well, how can it be good to bury the root of the disease?" ”

When Fu Yuyue heard this, he also echoed and said: "What you said makes sense, Xi'er will let Imperial Doctor Li take care of you for a period of time, and the queen mother will feel more at ease." ”

In other words, if Cangxi refuses again, it will be disrespectful to the queen, so he waved his hand and said: "Thank you to the queen mother." ”

After Fu Yuyue heard that Cangxi agreed to let Imperial Doctor Li diagnose and treat, he immediately coaxed Fu Yingge and said, "The prince still listens to his aunt's words the most. ”

Fu Yingge couldn't close her mouth with a smile when she heard this, and Cangxi also echoed with a smile, "The princess said she was smiling." This king has been raised by his mother in the middle palace since he was a child. The grace of nurturing is to be remembered. ”

Cangxi's words made Fu Yingge very pleased. After all, Cangxi has been raised by her side since she was a child, and she loves this righteous son very much. If you don't really appreciate Cangxi's character and talent, how can Fu Yingge be willing to match Fu Xuanyue and Cangxi. It is precisely because of Cangxi's excellence that Fu Yingge has a higher eye than the top, and feels that there is no better niece and son-in-law as good as Cangxi in the government and the opposition.

However, seeing Cangxi and Fu Yuyue seeing each other like this, Fu Yingge's face was a little unhappy.

"Xi'er and Yuyue both grew up under the nose of this palace. Why is it still so angry to call Xi'er 'Wangye'? Fu Yingge nodded.

Since her aunt has created an opportunity for herself, Fu Xuanyue can't waste it in vain.

"You know your mistakes", Fu Yuyue lowered his head and said, "But I don't know how to call the prince?" ”

Without waiting for Cangxi to answer, Fu Yingge preemptively said: "Xi'er is three years older than you." You, like Huaimo, should call Xi'er brother. ”

When Fu Yuyue heard the queen's words, he happily stood up and saluted Cangxi and said, "Brother Wang, please accept the offer." ”

Fu Yuyue's gift, Cangxi didn't want to accept it at all, so he hurriedly said: "The princess is polite, you and I are peers, you don't need to be polite." ”

Fu Yingge heard that Cangxi was a little unhappy with Fu Xuanyue's "princess", but it was not good to be powerful. After all, Fu Suiyue was interested in Cangxi, and Cangxi was ruthless to Fu Xuanyue. He can help Fu Xuanyu, but he can't change Cangxi's attitude towards him.

Thinking that he should leave more time for these two people, Fu Yingge pretended to yawn and said, "This palace is a little tired, so I will stay and accompany you for this palace." ”

Fu Yuyue was just about to receive the order, Cangxi took the first step and said: "Don't bother the queen mother and the princess", said, from this Fu Yingge arched his hand, and said: "It's not early, and the sons should also leave the palace." ”

Fu Yingge was willing to let go of Cangxi for Fu Xuan's appointment, this is a good time, but he can't just let it go in vain, so he pretended to be serious and said: "Xi'er hasn't entered the palace for a few days, so I'll stay in the palace tonight and have dinner with the palace." ”

Cangxi didn't refuse, and agreed: "The son obeys." ”

It's not that Cangxi is willing to stay in the palace, but the queen is determined to stand on Fu Xuanyue's side, if she disobeys her, she may not know how to match him with Fu Xuanyue. In contrast, Cangxi still felt that it was better to listen to the queen honestly. At least, she can't fault it.

After Fu Yingge left, Fu Yuyue took the initiative to stand in front of Cang Xi and shouted softly: "Brother Xi." ”

Cangxi was very sour when she heard this, but her face was still like an iceberg, "The grandmother who teaches etiquette in the palace didn't tell the princess that she can't call the name of a man with a foreign surname casually?" ”

Fu Yuyue smiled and said patiently: "Mama has taught it, but it is a good and bad rule." ”

Since she won't be able to leave the palace for a while, Cangxi decided to take this opportunity to give Fu Xuan an appointment to let her live in peace, so he said: "This king has not entered the palace for a long time and has forgotten the rules of the palace. Please also send the princess to tell the king, what should I do if I know the law and break the law, and I have no respect for my elders? ”

Fu Xuanyue understood that Cangxi was using court etiquette to pressure her, and she was immediately a little scared, but she still had the courage to say stiffly: "I don't know, how did I commit the two articles of 'knowing the law and breaking the law' and 'ignoring the elders'?" ”

"You know the rules of the palace but don't follow them, isn't it 'knowing the law and breaking the law'?" Cangxi glared at Fu Xuanyue and then said: "This throne is respectful, the princess is inferior and respectful, isn't it 'disrespectful'?" ”

Fu Yuyue heard Cangxi's explanation and lowered his head. Cangxi was not prepared to let Fu Yuyue go like this, and then asked: "Does the princess know what a great crime it is to assassinate the prince?" ”

Fu Yuyue was taken aback by Cangxi's words, and quickly knelt on the ground. Cangxi looked at Fu Suiyue, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, squatted down and stared at Fu Suiyue's face that was captivating the country and the city, and said viciously: "Murdering the prince, his crime should be punished!" What's more, the punishment is to behead the waist. ”

Cangxi smiled and said the last few words word by word, and Fu Yuyue sat on the ground with a pale face.

She didn't know what the crime of murdering the prince was, all she saw was a cold light in Cangxi's eyes. On the day of the Lantern Festival, Fu Xuan saw Cangxi's smile, although that smile was not aimed at him.

Cangxi smiled, her eyes always carrying some warmth. At this moment, Cangxi was also smiling, but there was no warmth in her endless eyes.

"Isn't the prince afraid that I will tell the queen about today's events?" Fu asked before Cangxi left.

Cang Xi snorted coldly. What else will this woman do besides using the queen to press him? As soon as he thought of this, Cangxi became angry.

So he treated him in the same way as others, and said: "If the princess likes to tell the queen mother anything, why don't we compare whose story the queen will hear first?" ”

Fu Yuyue was afraid when he heard Cangxi's words, and suddenly lost his momentum.

Cangxi looked at Fu Xuanyue with a cheap and obedient expression, Fu Xuanyue didn't dare to refute or express it, which made people look very happy. For Fu Xuan, the house fell into an embarrassment. And for Cang Xi, this atmosphere is just right, neither daring to let Fu Yuyue do anything wrong again, but also not showing that he is bullying her too much.

Cangxi maintained this state and tasted a few teas, and as soon as the tea was tasted, the peach beside the queen walked in.

Yao Tao glanced at the situation inside the house. Cangxi sat on a chair and drank tea, so uncomfortable. And Fu Yuyue knelt aside, not daring to get up but unwilling to kneel.

In the end, the old man who has been in the palace for more than ten years, seeing this situation, he still did not change and said with a smile: "Dinner has been prepared, and I invite Prince Xi and Princess Jihao." ”

Cangxi stood up and took two steps towards the door. After a glance, Fu Xuanyue was kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up.

Cangxi couldn't help but smile, changed a serious expression, and said: "Presumably, I have been a thief for a long time, and my heart is weak, so I can't help but bump into Aunt Yaotao and ask Aunt Yao Tao to help Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Yao Tao got the order, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she walked to Fu Yuyue's side and stretched out her hand to help her. Fu Xuan has a beautiful face, and anyone who seems to be unable to help but feel sympathy.

Naturally, except for the canglin.

When I came to the west side hall of the Middle Palace, the meals had already been set on the table, all of which were the dishes that Fu Xuanyue and Cangxi loved to eat.

"Lord and princess, please wait, the queen will be here later." Yao Tao said, bent his knees, and went to the east side hall alone.

In the east hall, Fu Yingge was fiddling with her nails at the door with her back to Yao Tao. Hearing Yao Tao come in, Fu Yingge asked without turning her head, "What's wrong?" ”

Yao Tao bowed on her knees and said, "When the slave went, the prince was drinking tea. The princess was kneeling on the ground. ”

When Fu Yingge heard this, she turned around and asked, "Kneel on the ground?" ”

"Yes", Yao Tao nodded and continued: "The slave maid guesses that the princess already knows that the princess is also involved in the assassination of the prince. ”

Hearing this, Fu Yingge was a little flustered. She was dedicated to helping Fu Xuanyue, even if she knew what Fu Xuanyue was doing behind her back, most of them turned a blind eye.

The matter of assassination had already been mentioned to her by Gaozong. Fu Yingge originally wanted to keep this matter down and not mention it, or take care of the dishonest courtiers according to Gaozong's intentions and buckle this hat. When this matter is confirmed, Fu Yuyue's suspicion will be lifted. Even if Cangxi guesses or already knows the real murderer, he can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly - he can't say if he is bitter!
