Chapter 68: Time Delay

Wang Zheyan glanced at Zheng Lunming, thought for a while, and asked Qi Changrong, "How long does Your Highness mean to delay it later?" ”

"It's up to you, as long as it's later than you've scheduled."

A day of delay is a delay, and a month of delay is also a delay.

The only constant is that no matter how long it drags on, what should happen will happen.

Wang Zheyan was relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Together with Zheng Lunming, he also raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and was scared.

The two were relieved.

Wang Zheyan thought for a while and said, "In another month, it will be the Twelve Princesses' Rites, and the wedding date will be set three days after the Rites, what does Your Highness think?" ”

One month is not a long time, but it is not a short time, which is just within Qi Changrong's patience range.

What's more, just after Ji Lu, he was going to marry out of the palace and set up another princess's mansion, which was also a big blow to Twelve.

When you get married, whether it's Twelve Yi or Jiang Fu, you won't be in a good mood.

That's what she wants.

When they were upset, she was happy.

Only Zheng Lunming felt in a hurry, and hesitated: "At that time, the Ministry of Rites will first prepare and punish you, and then handle the wedding of the twelve princesses, is it a little rushed?" ”

Hearing Zheng Lunming's words, without waiting for Qi Changrong to speak, Wang Zheyan crackled: "This is a mistake, you have to believe in the ability of my Ministry of Rites, and it is absolutely okay to handle these two things." ”

Whether it is a wedding ceremony or a big wedding, it will not be too grand.

At most, it can only be operated according to the regulations of the previous princesses, and the difficulty is only a little more difficult than opening a banquet in the palace.

Who made the emperor not love the twelve princesses?

Who let the twelve princesses just take up the concubine, neither the heir nor the longest?

Some things are arranged from the moment they are born, and identity is everything.

Zheng Lunming thought for a long time, clapped his hands and nodded: "Okay, then it's set on that day, and I'll fold it tomorrow." ”

Wang Zheyan said with satisfaction: "That's right, I've known each other for many years, you and I will advance and retreat together." ”

Both of them were smart people, and they didn't ask Qi Changrong why they knew about their affairs in the Parkway Pavilion.

Having been an official in the court for many years, no one knows better than them that the royal family is all over the world, as long as they have the heart to know, there is nothing they don't know.

Things went smoothly, and the coercion and temptation that Qi Changrong originally envisioned did not come in handy, and the two courtiers were already very incapable of lowering the bottom line.

She was in a mixed mood and a little funny.

At this time, the court had not been completely controlled by Jiang Bowen, and Wang Zheng and the others acted in accordance with the rules and regulations, without any interest disputes, and they were simply a little unreasonable.

After a pause, Zheng Lunming suddenly said curiously: "It's His Royal Highness that Jiang Da's kid begged, right?" ”

Qi Changrong: "How does Lord Zheng know?" ”

Zheng Lunming's voice revealed a hint of joy: "Who in the whole Shangjing doesn't know that Jiang Da kid has unrealistic heroic dreams all day long, so he is unwilling to be just a colt." ”

It's a pity that now, no matter how much unwillingness you have, you can only turn into unwillingness.

Qi Changrong vaguely understood something, and said with rare hesitation: "Does he have to promote his heroic dream every time he sees someone?" ”

She couldn't think of anything else but that.

"Your Highness is wise." Zheng Lunming remembered that Jiang Bowen guarded against Jiang You like a thief, as well as Jiang You's yang and yin, and the battle of wits and courage between the housekeeper and the housekeeper in the house, he only felt crying and laughing for a while.

"The entire people in Beijing know that soy sauce is not the material for reading and studying, only Jiang Taishi is the only one who does not believe in evil and wants to build his son into a literati who has a good export."

Zheng Lunming shook his head: "Over the years, Master Jiang has been strictly guarded, but he still failed to defend it, and Jiang You actually practiced a good kung fu under his nose. ”

Speaking of which, in fact, Jiang You is also an amazing character, how smart Jiang Taishi is, how severe his methods are, and he can fool the past under Taishi's hands, which is enough to see his cleverness.

Qi Changrong's eyes were slightly deep, and he said softly: "It's all involuntary to say it." ”

I wanted to be forced to follow the martial arts, but I didn't want to marry the princess but I was forced to be a concubine.

Just like the ducks that are put on the shelves of the boat, only the route may be slightly offset.

As a result, it remains the same.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting more and more, you were so unhappy with what I said, the corners of Wang Zheyan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't wait to take a seal to seal Zheng Lunming's mouth, so as not to cause trouble for himself by talking nonsense.

He had told him thousands of times that if he met the prince of the East Palace in the future, he must take a detour and never be entangled by him, didn't he know that the prince of the East Palace was deep in his thoughts, and he might be pitted if he was not careful?

He himself is a living example!

Wang Zheyan's eyes were about to burst into flames, and the corner of Qi Changrong's eyes swept away from his aggrieved expression, and he felt interesting for a while, and the idea of wanting to leave immediately was suppressed again.

At the moment when Wang Zheyan was about to collapse, she finally stopped talking compassionately and rejected Zheng Lun's unfinished discussion.

Half an hour later, Qi Changrong's figure appeared at the end of the wooden ladder on the third floor.

When the scholar in Tsing Yi saw it, he asked more: "There are many books upstairs, don't you want to read it for a while?" ”

Qi Changrong politely refused, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency also said, I don't know how many books are in the upstairs collection, how can I finish reading them for a while, it is better to look forward to the future." ”

Anyway, she has passed the test, and the door of Parkway Pavilion will no longer be able to stop her in the future.

Ji Fang hung his head and stood on the first floor, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Qi Changrong was finally late, and hurriedly raised his feet to greet him: "Why has Your Highness been delayed for so long?" ”

"I was so happy that I almost forgot the hour."

Ji Fang nodded, as if he believed it or not.

When Qi Changrong came out of Xianmen, the scholar who had registered the information for entering the pavilion was waiting outside, and presented her with both hands a wooden token, which was engraved with the three characters of Baihui Pavilion, and there was a string of symbols at the bottom that she couldn't understand.

"This is the certificate that Your Excellency will enter and exit the Parkway Pavilion freely in the future, with it, even if Your Excellency rises in the middle of the night, it will not be empty."

Qi Changrong took it, rubbed the string of symbols he couldn't understand with his fingertips, and asked, "What is this?" ”

The scholar replied: "This is a special anti-counterfeiting logo in the cabinet, and each token is different. ”

"Only I can use it?"

The scholar nodded: "Yes." ”

"Can you take the books out of the cabinet?"

The scholar shook his head: "No, all books can only be read in the pavilion." ”

In this way, the role of this token is very weak, and she can't take the books of the Parkway Pavilion out, as the master of the East Palace, she doesn't have much time to spend on the Parkway Pavilion.

However, Qi Changrong still accepted it, and after saying goodbye to the scholar, he stepped into the carriage on the way home.

The two strings of sugar gourds in the carriage needed to be dealt with, and Ji Fang had long been accustomed to Qi Changrong's practice of thinking one out of the other, so he resigned himself to sending her to the mouth of Wuxiangzi, and watched the sugar gourds fall into the hands of the poor people.

How lucky these people must be to be rewarded day by day by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Pity him, he has served in the East Palace since he was a child, and he has never even had a string of decent sugar gourds.

Ji Fang sighed deeply, and the resentment in his tone was indescribable.

At this time, Qi Changrong completed what Junchen had entrusted him and returned to the East Palace lightly.

On the other side, Jun Chen, who had nothing to do, finally found time to visit Zhao's Mansion while it was still dark.

On the same day, Zhao Yueqiu was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Zhao Li pointed at Zhao Yueqiu's nose and scolded a little angrily, and he didn't have the demeanor of today's prime minister at all: "You girl, how many times have I told you, you must keep your distance from the East Palace, you are good, not only did you not listen, but also stuck your eyes on it, you want to make your father and me angry to death!" ”

Everyone knows that now that the prince is awkwardly old, maybe it won't be long before the emperor will marry her a crown princess and stabilize her back house.

If anyone gets closer to the prince of the East Palace, he will definitely enter the eyes of the emperor.

It is an extremely lucky thing to become the crown princess and fall into the eyes of others, but in Zhao Li's eyes, there is nothing more tragic than that.

Zhao Yueqiu knelt on the yellow futon, her eyes stared directly at the dense spiritual position in front of her, and between her eyebrows was the same unyielding as Zhao Li.

She put her hands vertically at her sides, her fingers unconsciously scratched her dress, and said lightly: "Father, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and I didn't damage the face of the Zhao family." ”

Zhao Li reprimanded her: "You are not called out of place, so what is called out of line?" You listen to your father's words, life in the palace is not suitable for you, and the prince is even more unsuitable for you. ”

"What's not suitable, if you really want to talk about it, are you suitable to be this prime minister, father? You have a name, the rights in your hands have been stripped again and again, and you have been pressed by the emperor so that you can't raise your head, and the position of our Zhao family is becoming more and more embarrassing. ”

Zhao Li was stunned for a moment and did not deny: "What do you want to do?" ”

"My daughter wants to change the situation." Zhao Yueqiu didn't hide it, and directly said her plan: "Now that you are almost forgotten by Your Majesty, Father, the only way to do this is to find a way for Your Majesty to remember you, and our Zhao family will have a bright future." ”

Not to mention winning the favor of the saints, at least it has to compete with Jiang Bowen.

Otherwise, in the future, where will there be a place for their Zhao family in this court?

Her eldest brother is destined to enter the official career in the future and become the pillar of the country, if the Zhao family falls, she can't send her eldest brother to Jiang Bowen's hands, let him rub it round.

Father and Jiang Bowen have never dealt with each other, if that's the case, I don't know how much the eldest brother will suffer.

Zhao Yueqiu thinks a lot, she doesn't deny that she has a little daughter's thoughts, but more of it, she still starts from the perspective of the Zhao family.

Zhao Li said dissatisfiedly: "But you can't use yourself as a bargaining chip." ”

"Is there anything better than that, father?" Zhao Yueqiu said calmly: "If you fall one day, with Jiang Bowen's temperament of retribution, our Zhao family will fall into a catastrophe." ”

Therefore, she must find a backer for the Zhao family who will never fall, and Qi Changrong is undoubtedly the best choice, as the only heir of the Great Jin Dynasty, no matter what happens, His Majesty will not move.

Moving the East Palace is equivalent to shaking the foundation of the country.
