Chapter 43 Kindness is hard to repay
"Concubine, now is not the time to discuss these matters." Concubine Mei was a little angry in her words.
"Alas, I'm just asking for a personal favor with Lord Yufei, why should Sister Mei be so excited." Concubine An rolled her eyes again, obviously not caring about Concubine Mei's words.
At this moment, Kang Yufei was a little embarrassed, "This matter, this matter is not up to me." If this girl really loves the prince, then Concubine An can go and beg the emperor or the prince. Kang Yufei glanced at Concubine Mei and was winking at herself, she didn't quite understand the meaning.
"Hey, I know that our princess and concubine are well aware of righteousness and reasonableness." An Concubine's face was full of joy, and she couldn't take it back.
When the gossip was finished, everyone retreated, and Concubine Mei looked at Kang Yufei and shook her head, "But it's still a little tender, and it's so quick to fall in love with Concubine An." ”
Kang Yufei didn't know what to do.
"Do you know who that niece of her family is?"
Kang Yufei shook his head.
"What a Juan."
I see, Kang Yufei sighed secretly, "No wonder Concubine Mei shook her head at me just now." However, it really can't help me, even if I don't like her anymore. If the prince wants to marry, I can't stop him. ”
"That's why she came to visit you today. If the prince wants to marry, it will hinder the face of your Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and it will have to be drafted in two years. But if you agree, then you can enter the palace at the same time as you, the crown princess. ”
Kang Yufei really didn't have the heart to think about this, as far as she was concerned, it didn't matter who the prince married and when.
"Yufei, do you know. Our Dasheng Dynasty also had the crown princess and the prince's side concubine enter the palace at the same time. But it didn't take long for this side concubine to replace the main concubine, which is really not a good sign! ”
Out of Fanghua Palace, Kang Yufei went straight to the Dongnuan Pavilion where the emperor lived. Today, I heard that the emperor is much better, so I naturally want to go to ask for peace. However, her head kept thinking about Concubine Mei's words just now. It's a good sign, she doesn't care about this, but He Qijuan's entry into the palace is a good thing or a bad thing for her, she has to think about it.
"The matter of military salaries, if you think about it, it is not easy to make a big fuss."
"Oh? Why? ”
"This matter can't shake the foundation of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but it is easy to chill the hearts of the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army. Therefore, Erchen planned not to investigate carefully, and asked the prince of the Hou Mansion of Zhenbei to come to Beijing to hold him accountable. ”
The emperor seemed to think that this method was quite unexpected, and looked the prince up and down, "Isn't there a follow-up move?" Just let it go? ”
"Father, this matter also implicates the Ministry of War, and pulls up the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to bring out a string of people. The father has just warned his sons and ministers not to be too hasty and overdone. Erchen ......"
"No, you have other plans." The emperor suddenly smiled, picked up the teacup and took another sip, "Are you afraid that I will obstruct you, or are you afraid that I will report to the Marquis of Zhenbei and let him hide his son?" ”
The crown prince smiled faintly, he knew that from the words he said the prince of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the emperor could somewhat guess his general intentions. "Erchen feels that his father has a friendship with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, if he hears that Erchen wants to take the son of the world, he may not bear it, so he doesn't dare to show it."
The smile on the emperor's face faded instantly, "Prince, the Kang family doesn't have only one son, hereditary recklessness, if you plan like this, how much blood will you have on your hands." ”
"Father, the sons didn't want to destroy the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, they just wanted to move its foundation. If they can know how to advance and retreat like Dingguo Gong, then everything can be discussed. ”
Only then did the emperor smile softly, "I didn't expect that you also have such a mind, and you know the general situation, okay." But after saying this, the emperor's face suddenly sank, "However, you are not like the situation I was in back then, you still have the Zhenbei Hou in your hands to use, if you learn from me and empty the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, there will be no one behind you." ”
The prince nodded, this is also the problem he is worried about these days.
"That He brother is of great use?"
The crown prince wanted to return to the emperor according to the truth, but he was fighting for power and straw bales, but after thinking about it, he was not useless, so he changed his mind, "He is still young, and he needs to go through some time." ”
"Yes. However, I don't think you care too much about the two of them, and you are a loyal servant who saved our lives, so this reward is a little thin. ”
"Erchen handed over the Yuanshan Army to them to restrain and control, and he also hoped that they would have some experience."
"You only gave three centaurs, besides, they sent us a message, which can be regarded as betraying the Yuanshan Army, and you let them go back to take charge of the Yuanshan Army. Oh, I feel like I'm having a hard time when I think about it. The emperor smiled and shook his head.
The prince pursed his lips, he naturally couldn't say it, he didn't look down on the He family brothers at all, and they didn't know how to add officials to them.
"Concubine An came to me the day before yesterday, but she said something."
The prince's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.
"The He brothers have a younger sister, I heard that I am obsessed with you, and I am sick."
"Father, I ...... with that one He Qijuan"
"It turned out to be He Qijuan, I heard that you also invited her to the palace for a banquet, and she also embarrassed the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in public, but?"
When the prince heard this, he felt that the momentum was not good, and he quickly knelt on the ground, "Erchen did feast on the Kang He family. However, Erchen didn't expect that this Miss He was so bold that she would hurt the county lord of Yufei in public. ”
"Hey, they are all people who practice martial arts, and it's okay to get a little injured while practicing swords." The emperor didn't seem to care, "I thought that there are girls who can overpower Yufei this year, it's really interesting, but it's a pity that I'm not there." ”
The crown prince suddenly heard what the emperor meant, and he was a little panicked.
"Just let her be your side concubine and enter the palace with Yufei."
"Don't, son."
"Why?" The emperor saw him kowtowing to the ground, and sighed with emotion, "You are going to hurt the hearts of the He brothers." You treat people so coldly, who is willing to die to protect you in the future. ”
"The sons will treat the He family well in the future, and there is no need to marry He Qijuan."
"Marrying a side concubine is worth a thousand gold, this kind of glory can make the He brothers feel at ease more than any heavy reward."
"But, Father, ......"
"I know how much you treat Yufei. Keep this heart well, Yu Fei knows, you know, it's enough, what does it have to do with other people. ”
The emperor got up and picked up the crown prince who was lying on the ground.
"But, father, does my queen mother think the same way, then she ......"
"Prince, that's enough, it's not your turn to talk more about me and your mother."
"Your Majesty." Outside the house, the voice of the chief eunuch Qi Kun came, "Your Majesty, the lord of Yufei asks to see you." ”
The crown prince looked at the emperor and was a little worried that if she came in at this time, would the emperor ask her to nod and agree to the concubine. A few days ago, I was angry with her and said some heavy words, would she be angry and agree.
Kang Yufei just came, and he didn't hear the dispute between the two fathers and sons just now, and came in with a smile. It was only when I entered the door that I felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and the emperor's face was not very good-looking.
"The courtiers heard that the emperor is very good, and they came to congratulate the emperor, and wish the emperor a long life and a thousand generations." Kang Yufei's smiling face has a kind of mana that can eliminate all worries, two crescents hung at the corners of those apricot eyes, and the starlight in his eyes shone little by little, making the gloomy cloud on the emperor's cheeks dissipate.
The prince glanced at her secretly, and when he saw her smile, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"We're here, only Yufei you, every time you change your way to pat my ass, I don't hate it. This time, next time, I will not be a 10,000-year-old turtle. The emperor pointed to the position next to him and motioned for Kang Yufei to sit down. Kang Yufei looked at the prince and didn't dare to go over, "Don't pay attention to him, it will only make me angry." ”
