Chapter 42: Not good
Fang Yurong's grandfather was a former prime minister, and his father Xinguo Gong was an important member of the imperial court, and he could enter the cabinet after a few years of seniority.
Is it to be a relative or a minister?
When the "crown princess" has a price, it is not an indisputable position for the other party's family.
But they can't directly say that it is because they do not agree to give up the conditions for entering the cabinet, which will make the emperor feel that the Fang family is too ambitious in the court, and it will definitely make the emperor jealous.
When Gu Huanyi heard this past, he immediately frowned and said, "Isn't this hurting you?" β
The Fang family, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, did not support the prince, but supported the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so how could the prince gain a foothold in the court? What does the emperor think?
Because it is a personal affair between his children, it is inconvenient for the emperor to make trouble for the other party's family on the bright side, but there will definitely be a gap between King Ming and Li Congxin.
Li Congxin nodded: "Yes, the emperor wrote a secret letter to scold my father for this matter, and warned him not to have too close relations with important ministers. β
Gu Huan was puzzled and said, "The Fang family will also be detrimental to themselves like this, they won't be unexpected." β
Li Congxin said: "So I speculate that they should be the people of the virtuous king." β
Although there is no evidence for this inference at the moment, Fang Yurong married Li Chengxu in his previous life, which has verified the matter.
In this way, Gu Huanyi understood, it was another move to suppress the prince and suppress the Ming Palace.
Knowing these inside scenes, Gu Huanyi felt that his actions in the Qin Club were a little too naΓ―ve, just to block Fang Yurong, and did not cause any substantive effect.
What's more, if Fang Yurong is just using Li Congxin, how can he care who Li Congxin likes?
At this point, Gu Huan was wrong.
Today, Fang Yurong was really angry with her, and she couldn't even eat dinner.
The family's arrangements for her marriage and the arrangements in the court, Fang Yurong was very clear in her heart.
A few years ago, when the former prince had just entered politics, Li Yuhe expressed dissatisfaction with the other party's family, and repeatedly said to the emperor that the Fang family was powerful and embarked on the road of gaining power.
In order to win over Li Yuhe, the Fang family spent a lot of effort, but they had little effect, so after weighing it again, the Fang family and the Xianwang Mansion came together.
Fang Yurong knew that she would marry Li Congxin as soon as he became an heir, but she had liked Li Congxin since she first met him, and the rumors between her and Li Congxin were also deliberately released by her, hoping that she could fake the show and change the family's decision.
But she was disappointed, and Li Congxin never responded to her overtures.
Li Congxin couldn't count on it, and Li Chengxu's path also changed.
Now that Concubine Xian is pregnant, whether Li Chengxu still has a chance to be the crown prince is really difficult to determine.
And she is eighteen years old this year, how many years can she wait and see?
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Yurong was confused and irritable.
At this moment, a Gu Huan came to make her worse!
She couldn't figure out why she lost to a woman who was inferior to her in every way, and once the news spread, where would she put her face? Isn't it going to be a laughing stock?
She held her forehead and thought for a long time, and finally instructed the servant: "I haven't seen Princess Miaohua for a while, send a post to the palace, just say that I want to hold an autumn crab banquet and invite her to a small party in the house." β
When Princess Miaohua received the invitation, she discussed with Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen stroked her pregnant belly and said: "The matter of the heir has been shelved, and the Fang family has begun to hesitate whether to marry with the Xianwang Mansion, and they must be looking for you to inquire about the news." β
Princess Miaohua asked, "Then will I still go?" β
Concubine Zhen smiled: "Go, naturally I want to go." Not only do I have to go, Miao'er also has to get along with Fang Yurong, when my son comes into the world, I also need the support of the Fang family, the future of our mother and daughter is all on this child. β
Princess Miaohua smiled: "The timing of my brother's arrival is so good. β
For Princess Miaohua, this younger brother is very important.
In the war with Beiyi last year, some courtiers suggested sending princesses and relatives to maintain long-term stability.
And the marriageable princess, only Miaohua is alone.
Later, the Gu family's army was annihilated, and the people were too angry with the people of Beiyi, and the Manchu Dynasty did not agree to make peace, so she avoided this catastrophe.
If her younger brother is successfully born and becomes the prince, she will be the prince's sibling sister, which is different from an ordinary princess, and she can no longer be married off at will.
So her future is closely related to her brother's future, and from now on, she has to worry about her brother.
After making up her mind, Princess Miaohua went to Fang Yurong's appointment on time, but unexpectedly, Fang Yurong saw that she did not inquire about Concubine Zhen's pregnancy, nor did she inquire about the emperor's attitude, but asked about the spring funeral tour to the north.
Fang Yurong personally peeled the crab for her, and said slowly: "I met the orphan of the Marquis of Yiyong a few days ago, and I remembered that the princess had been to Liangzhou, you and she should know each other, right?" β
Princess Miaohua nodded and said, "Naturally, going to Liangzhou is for her family's business." Did she enter Beijing? Where did you meet her? β
Fang Yurong told Miaohua about the Hanxi Qin Society, and said at the end: "She was finally picked up by the prince of Ming." But...... I remember that Concubine Zhen didn't ask to marry her for the prince of Xian before? Why did she get together with the prince of Ming again? β
Princess Miaohua didn't care about eating crabs, frowned and thought about it and said, "Won't it?" When I was in Liangzhou, I didn't find out that she had a relationship with Brother Congxin, but Brother Cheng Xu often met her because of the funeral. Speaking of which, Brother Cheng Xu is also really, seeing Miss Gu crying so movingly, he felt pity, and asked my mother to marry her, and my mother was scolded by my father. If he sees one and loves one like this, how many will he have to marry and put it in the family in the future? β
Since he had to plan for his future brother, he couldn't let the Fang family and the Xian Wangfu successfully marry.
Fang Yurong smiled reluctantly and said, "Miss Gu has an excellent appearance and a pitiful background, no wonder the two sons are moved." β
Princess Miaohua thought that Fang Yurong liked Li Congxin, so she persuaded: "Sister Yurong, we have been playing together since childhood, and I treat you as my own sister, so I took the liberty to persuade you, you are such a good person, why should you be sad for irrelevant people?" Although Brother Congxin and Brother Cheng Xu are both my cousins, it is because they are my own family that I know that they are not a good match for my sister. People live in this life, you have to think more about yourself. β
Fang Yurong smiled gently with a hint of surprise, and said, "I haven't seen the princess for a while, and the princess seems to have grown up a lot and can say such things." β
Princess Miaohua sighed: "I can't live without heart and lungs all the time. My sister also knows that last year, my father had considered letting me go to Beiyi and my relatives, if I talked about the stability of the family and country, I should go, but I was unwilling, why let me take on such a heavy responsibility as a little woman? Who cares about my suffering in Beiyi? In fact, my sister and I are the same, if you marry someone who shouldn't be married for the Fang family, who cares about your joys and sorrows? At the end of the day, we're both pathetic. β
Fang Yurong smiled faintly, already knowing in his heart that Concubine Zhen had a completely different attitude towards her own marriage.
This is a big bad thing.
It's really a fulfillment of the saying that there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies, she Fang Yurong, it's time to think of new countermeasures.
