Chapter 139: Murder with a knife
When Chu Haotian saw the comer, his sad face was gone!
"Sister Huang, why did you come back early?"
Chu Jin's posture is upright, her demeanor is shining, she can't tell that she is over thirty years old, I saw her wearing a dark and white tunic brocade robe, simple and generous, a pair of red phoenix eyes raised arrogantly, red lips lightly, like a high-spirited heroic girl! The sharp eyes like knives, the sword-like eyebrows, as if she only had to give her a spear, she could immediately rush to the battlefield, and the bloody battle would be dark!
"Listening to the emperor's tone, do you want me to come back?" Chu Jinqian seemed to be dissatisfied, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"Imperial sister, you are still the same, you like to joke about me!" Chu Haotian ascended the throne early, and he will always be majestic and inviolable in the eyes of the ministers and the people, but in front of the eldest princess Chu Jinqi, he will show a comfortable smile, and even he himself does not want to admit that he will be coquettish in front of the imperial sister!
As long as the royal sister is here, he will be extremely relieved!
"Since the imperial sister came back early, do you have to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet this time?" Chu Haotian was full of expectations, but he was also ready to be rejected, after all, the eldest princess was notoriously unfond of coveting, and because of her noble status and irreplaceable weight in the emperor's heart, there were always people who stuck it up and wanted to climb the relationship, but they all ended up being punished in public and even degraded out of Beijing!
"Okay."
Chu Haotian's eyes widened, and he thought that he had heard it wrong, and just as he was about to confirm it again, he heard Chu Jin's hearty smile: "This time I came back early to see what kind of sacredness Su Yueleng is, and it has been rumored that it is miraculous outside, saying that a one-year-old soldier can shoot a bow at the age of three, and he just met the prime minister outside, and the old man actually said that the other party has the shadow of me back then, which is really exciting!" β
Chu Haotian didn't know how to answer this for a while, does the imperial sister mean that she is optimistic about Su Yueleng, or does she not like it? "Then the imperial sister means that she thinks that Su Yueleng's reputation is too watery? I felt that it was somewhat, so I thought about making him a county lord before, after all, the identity of the county lord is only this princess, which is a great honor for the daughter of a courtier. β
"If this child is really capable, why should our royal family raise her more?" Chu Jinqian has always known everything about Chu Haotian and said everything. "She is a daughter's family, and she is still a member of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion who has been loyal for generations, and I also know a thing or two about her in Xiangcheng, it is indeed true, such a malleable talent must be tightly held in the hands of my Dasheng royal family, and must not be coveted by other countries!"
"That's what I think!" Chu Haotian was very happy to get the approval of the imperial sister, just now he thought that Chu Jinqian would refute him, after all, since he was a child, he has been educated by the imperial sister a lot of times, and every time he has been trained to be embarrassed. However, after ascending the throne, in order to stop the mouths of those ministers, the imperial sister invited herself to leave Beijing to live in seclusion, and she was not as enthusiastic as before, and he even missed the imperial sister's reprimand?
Chu Haotian secretly smiled bitterly, the king of a country actually wanted to find a scolding, isn't this the cold loneliness of the peak tortured him half crazy?
"Then the imperial sister, I will spread the news that you are going to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, and see what kind of attitude this Su Yueleng will take to see you at that time!" Chu Haotian thought for a moment, and immediately came up with Chu Jin's intentions, and when he saw that the other party agreed, he immediately asked his husband to go down to arrange it.
Wen Zhuoliang, the old prime minister who had been guarding the palace road outside the imperial study, saw her husband come out, and immediately followed and pretended to meet by chance, after all, the eldest princess returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, which is a big deal! If his family can seize the opportunity to get involved with the eldest princess, then he can protect the honor of the Wen family, and he doesn't have to worry about those ministers secretly colluding to drag him into the water!
Wen Zhuoliang heard that the eldest princess was going to attend the palace banquet, and even with the emperor's words, he intended to find a destined person to be a righteous daughter among the ministers and distinguished guests of the day.
If it is recorded in the name of the eldest princess, it will be recorded in the royal family tree, which is a beautiful thing that soars to the sky! Great news! A once-in-a-millennium opportunity!
The old minister happily stuffed two silver dumplings for his father-in-law, and went back to the house to let his daughter get ready.
"Master, our family Zhiyan is naturally beautiful, just dress up a little hard and you will definitely be able to win the love of the eldest princess!" The Prime Minister's Wife, Ling Shi, chose among the gold and silver jewelry in her collection, Wen Zhuoliang glanced at the box full of gold, and immediately frowned.
"These gold and silver are all vulgar things, and the palace banquet must not let Zhi Yan wear it that day!"
"Why?" Ling Shi was puzzled. "Not to mention the eldest princess at this Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, the dignitaries and nobles in the capital will be present, it is a good time to choose a son-in-law, besides, if you don't dress up to make it refreshing, how can you get into the eyes of the eldest princess?"
The old prime minister narrowed his eyes, which were already small mung beans, and smiled meaningfully, and when Ling saw his expression, he immediately pounced softly into his meeting to be coquettish. "The master is good or bad, tell people quickly!"
This trick is very useful, and Ling's has tried it repeatedly.
She has been able to keep the status of the eldest lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, and the loss is that she has figured out Wen Zhuoliang's mind, this man just likes to put on a shelf and sell off, if you don't raise him up and flatter him a few words, he will be uncomfortable, if he is uncomfortable, then he will naturally not give a good face, she is dependent on men to eat and support her family, naturally how to be smooth.
"You little naughty." Wen Zhuoliang was scratched by Ling's fingertips, and smacked her face.
The woman in his arms is only in the prime of his life, but he is an old guy with white temples who is a little disgusted when he says this.
Ling Shi paused, and continued to be coquettish after holding on to the point of vomiting: "Master, say it quickly!" You must know something that the outside world doesn't know, don't you? Don't hide it, tell people! People really want to hear it! β
Wen Zhuoliang was comfortable at this time, and said with a smug smile: "The eldest princess has not participated in the palace banquet for almost ten years, so most people in the court don't know, in fact, the eldest princess herself is the most disgusted with extravagance, so she doesn't like palace banquets, let alone these gold and silver jewelry, and even she left Beijing to live in seclusion in the Taoist temple." β
"I see!" When Ling heard this, he hurriedly thought about how to make his daughter dress up as a hibiscus, and not look too simple at the palace banquet.
Wen Zhuoliang thought of something and immediately called the housekeeper.
"Go, tell Su Yanran of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion about the eldest princess's liking and not liking luxury."
The housekeeper was about to retreat when he was ordered, but was stopped by Ling.
"Sir, why is that? Is such a good exclusive news still cheaper than others? Besides, Su Yanran's sister is not a good thing! Could it be that just because she is known as a fairy child and has gained some military exploits, you have forgotten about her injury to our Zhiyan? β
Wen Zhuoliang smiled, and this time he didn't sell Guan Zi anymore and said directly: "How could you forget?" I did this to use Su Yanran's hand to destroy Su Yueleng. β
"As far as I know, Su Yueleng has long been less obedient to Su Yanran than before, and their sisters have turned against each other!"
"You said that since you are an enemy, what will my sister do if she knows the news?"
Ling's eyes rolled. "She will definitely do her best to make Su Yueleng dress up as luxuriously as possible and go to the palace banquet!"
Wen Zhuoliang nodded, Ling's knowledge of cold and heat was very appreciative.
"Hey, but it's a pity, although this can avoid the threat of Su Yueleng being looked at by the eldest princess, but it also cheapens that sister Su Yanran, I heard that the little girl is not simple, and she ran to the palace twice in three days while her sister was fighting in the Crescent Moon Country, in order to please Queen Bo's mother! even spread rumors and boasted that she would be the first talented woman in the capital in the future! β
Wen Zhuoliang was unimpressed. "After all, Su Yanran is still a ten-year-old child, no one has grown up, and I am afraid that the books she reads are not more than half of what we Zhiyan, so how can she compare with us? The position of the concubine of the three princes must be what we said! β
ββββ
The news of the Prime Minister's Mansion was quickly sent, and it was sent to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion along with the news that her husband had left the palace.
At this time, Yang Rong had just returned from Su Ye's study to deliver mung bean soup, and when he heard the news, he was happy.
"What kind of character is the eldest princess? In addition to the emperor and the national teacher, the Mandasheng country is her most noble! Even the emperor respects her and respects her! If we can get her blue eyes, are we afraid that we won't be able to kill Su Yueleng's little cheap hooves? β
Yang Rong's chest rose and fell violently excitedly, took a deep breath and quickly stabilized his mind and sat down, the hideous smile on his face almost stretched out all the fine lines at the corners of his eyes.
"But mother, the eldest princess is a female general, she must be more interested in Su Yueleng at that time, what can I do?" Su Yanran pouted, she was embarrassed again when she was outside today, everything has really gone wrong recently!
Su Yueleng is so hateful!
How can all good things be taken by her?
"Yanran, how does my mother usually teach you? Why did she rise her anger and destroy her prestige before she even played? Yang Rong pulled the child to him and said: "The people under my mother got the news, the eldest princess is away all the year round, and she doesn't like extravagance the most, and those gold and silver jewelry are not touched, if we let Su Yue's cold makeup be extremely luxurious on the night of the palace banquet, then she will not only not be favored by the eldest princess, but will even be expelled from the palace!" β
The eldest princess is famous for her violent temper, and if someone really upsets her, there will be violent beatings in the street!
When Su Yanran heard this, the sadness on her face suddenly disappeared.
"Great! Then I'll hurry up and tell Xin'er that the two of us should dress up well, even if we don't have a golden hairpin and jade ring, we must be the most brilliant at the palace banquet! β
Seeing this, Yang Rong immediately grabbed the child and warned with hatred: "How many times have I told you that all the ladies in Beijing may become our enemies, and Lin Xin'er is more likely!" In short, no matter who it is, it can't crush you! β
The daughter is still too young and too naΓ―ve in terms of communication, she must be more restrained, and she must not be cheap Lin Xin'er.
The eldest princess can only be seen by her daughter at the palace banquet!
At the same time, Su Yueleng also got news from Qin Yi.
In her previous life, Su Yueleng had always regarded the eldest princess as her role model, the holy light that led her to keep moving forward! It's a pity that the eldest princess has been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests in her previous life, and she has no chance to see it, but now she finally has this great opportunity to see her true face, how can she not go?
"Mei Niang, Xinyou, pack up your things, let's go home!" Before Su Yueleng learned the good news of this day, he was discussing with the two sisters how to deal with Yang Rong and others, and now that he has motivation, it is naturally without further ado, and he will be comfortable as soon as possible!
Several people packed up and left in a hurry, Qin couldn't stop him, and when he came back to his senses, his body had already habitually obeyed Su Yueleng's orders and prepared the carriage for them!
