Chapter 123: Han Qing's past with the prince
"Don't you want to see me so much?" Han Qing couldn't help but ask, she was crying, and looked at him sadly: "I think I am not inferior to others, even if it is Zhao Siyan, I am not worse than her, why don't you want to look at me more?" ”
Han Qing is really unwilling, when Han Mingyuan used the entire Jinling City as a dowry, everyone thought that this was Han Mingyuan's proposal to protect himself in order to leave a way back for himself. But no, she was the first to come up with the idea.
Li Junze frowned impatiently and said coldly, "Get out of the way." ”
"Looks like you really don't remember." Han Qing shook his head in disappointment, "When I was six years old, I followed my father back to Beijing to report on work, and that was the first time I entered Beijing. ”
At that time, Han Qing was favored by Han Mingyuan since he was a child, and he was used to being arrogant in Jinling City, and he was a little arrogant and domineering, and then he got into trouble with the three princes on the first day he arrived in Beijing.
The two of them were children, and there was actually no contradiction, but they just collided with each other, and Han Qing didn't know the identity of the third prince at the time, so he scolded him.
The third prince is the son of Concubine Wen, and Concubine Wen is the emperor's favorite concubine, and she has also been pampered since she was a child, how can she ever be scolded? At that time, he lost his temper and directly pushed Han Qing into the water.
A five-year-old child, who had never felt real malice, was scared at the time. It's the third prince who pushes people, who dares to save her? Later, it was Li Junze, who sent someone to rescue her, and said that it was he who saved people today, and the third prince came to him if he was dissatisfied.
"At that time, you also specially found a mother-in-law to save me." Han Qing said with a smile, a flash of happiness flashed in his eyes.
The mother-in-law came to save her in order to protect her reputation, and he has been careful and considerate to the extreme since he was a child.
From that time on, she had him in her heart.
"I thought countless times later, what if you went into the water to save me, it would have ruined my reputation, and then, would I be able to marry you justifiably?" Han Qing said with a smile.
Even if Li Junze grew up later, and there was a lot of fame of King Yi's son, she didn't believe it.
How could such a good person, a young man who would save people and think about her, be a merry gentleman?
She firmly believes that she will not look at the wrong person, so even if she is old, Han Mingyuan has always wanted to give her kiss, but she has refused all of them, just to guard an impossible hope.
Later, he went to Dengzhou and married his own son in Dengzhou, he wouldn't know that on the day he got married, she sat all night and didn't sleep all night.
Later, as she expected, Yi Wangfu rebelled, and when he came to Jinling City, she was very excited, so she tried her best to persuade her father, just to marry him, and she didn't even ask to be a wife, she was a concubine, and she was willing.
But even so, he didn't want to.
Li Junze's eyes were cold, and his expression was detached: "Miss Han is probably drunk, so let's go back and rest early." ”
Han Qing raised his head and looked at him in disbelief: "Isn't this incident worthy of your memory to you?" ”
Li Junze thought for a while, and then said: "I am very grateful that Miss Han did not take revenge at that time, and she wanted to promise me by example. ”
Han Qing: "......"
Han Qing's eyes swelled with a deep unwillingness, why? Why is he so ruthless and indifferent to her, how is she inferior to that Zhao Siyan? She has already told her about the bond when she was a child, why is he still so cruel to her?
"Why? Am I that bad? Just can't get into your eyes? But even if you don't like me, why do you trample on my sincerity so much? Han Qing asked with red eyes: "A thousand mistakes, I am not wrong about your sincerity." ”
Li Junze raised his eyebrows at this time, revealing a playful smile: "Oh? Miss Han said that she was sincere, so do you mean that someone will suddenly appear and find that you and I are talking alone here, and then reach the ears of the emperor and be dissatisfied with me? ”
Han Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at him in disbelief.
Li Junze curled the corners of his lips: "What do you think is going on with that glass of wine, I can't understand it?" You are really far from drugging! ”
When did the emperor guard against them less? All kinds of means emerge one after another, and Han Qing's means are really not enough.
Han Qing's face suddenly turned pale.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Li Junze's mouth: "Miss Han, I'm not interested in hearing you recall the past, and I didn't pay attention to the events of the past, and Miss Han doesn't have to take it too seriously." After a pause, he continued: "As for Miss Han's so-called sincerity, with all due respect, it is really cheap. ”
Han Qing raised his head and looked at him in disbelief, with a hurt expression on his face, as if she was not the one who calculated people.
There was a sound of footsteps, Han Qing immediately sorted out her expression, revealing a heartbroken and aggrieved expression, but when she turned her head, she saw Zhao Siyan standing not far away, looking at her with clear eyes.
I don't know why, facing Zhao Siyan's gaze, Han Qing actually had a sense of emptiness.
Li Junze's expression immediately became vivid when he saw Zhao Siyan.
Zhao Siyan walked over, walked to his side, and held his hand.
"Why did you get out?" Li Junze asked in a low voice, and as he spoke, he also tidied up his cloak for her.
"I don't worry about you." Her short sentence had already made his eyebrows and eyes smile.
Li Junze suddenly thought of what Han Qing had just asked him, what was she inferior to Zhao Siyan? He wanted to ask her, where was she like his words? The two of them were not at the same level at all, but in this case, he didn't bother to explain to Han Qing.
"Let's go back, my father is still waiting." Zhao Siyan said softly.
Li Junze nodded.
Zhao Siyan didn't look at Han Qing again from beginning to end, as if he was just an insignificant person, and there was no need to even take another look.
Han Qing clenched her fists tightly, she had always regarded Zhao Siyan as her lifelong enemy, but she had never looked at her in her eyes.
This realization made the anger in Han Qing's heart burn.
There was another sound of footsteps, there were a lot of people coming this time, Li Junze had already prepared, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw Yi Kangdi leading people over.
Emperor Yi Kangdi frowned when he saw Han Qing and Li Junze, but when he looked at Zhao Siyan again, his brows relaxed a lot, and Zhao Siyan and Li Junze looked as usual, without the slightest difference, but Han Qing looked like he was not giving up.
"What's going on?" Yi Kangdi asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Siyan said with a smile: "Back to my father's words, it's all my daughter-in-law's, just now I passed by here with Miss Han, and the prince wanted to make a joke with me, but I didn't expect it to scare me, but it shocked Miss Han, it's really not our husband and wife." ”
"Look at you, as the crown prince, how can you be so Meng Lang?" Yi Kangdi took the opportunity to teach Li Junze a lesson.
Li Junze touched his nose and said flatteringly: "Father, don't scold me, Siyan has already scolded me just now." ”
Yi Kangdi was angry again, the dignified prince was actually taught a lesson by his daughter-in-law, it was really useless!
However, Yi Kangdi didn't bother to care about Li Junze now, hugged Han Qing in his arms, and softly comforted a few words.
Han Qing snuggled in Yi Kangdi's arms, with a frightened expression, but a look of tenderness and sweetness, where is the sincerity when he confessed to Li Junze just now?
Zhao Siyan and Li Junze glanced at each other, their expressions as usual.
After returning to the main hall, Zhao Siyan and Li Junze offered their farewells, who knows what tricks Han Qing has waiting for them? It's better to leave quickly.
The two returned to the prince's mansion, and before going to bed, the husband and wife chatted about today's events.
"This Han Qing is even more troublesome than I imagined, it seems that the queen's candidate has to be decided as soon as possible, find something for her to do, and save her from staring at you all day long." Zhao Siyan leaned on Li Junze's arms and said.
Li Junze nodded, "I'm afraid it's not so easy, this queen's family background must be good, otherwise Han Qing will not be suppressed at all." And it has to be of the right age, and now the ladies of the famous families of the right age have already set up a marriage, where is it so easy to find? ”
A famous woman, exaggerated, may be married as soon as she is born, and no matter how bad it is, she should say goodbye. If it is a little younger, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress Han Qing, they have also seen Han Qing's skills, that is a woman who dares to play tricks in front of Li Junze and Zhao Siyan, and ordinary women cannot be her opponents.
Zhao Siyan closed his eyes: "You can always choose." ”
They wanted to choose a woman who was suitable to be the opponent of Han Qing, while Yi Kangdi and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu wanted to choose a qualified queen. It's easy to choose a queen, but it's difficult to choose a woman who can deal with Han Qing.
Starting on the second day, Zhao Siyan began to select school-age women in Beijing.
Originally, Zhao Siyan felt that this person was not easy to choose, but she didn't expect that she also picked out several. However, she thinks the most suitable person is none other than the granddaughter of the former Shoufu, the granddaughter of Wan Shoufu, Wan Qiluo.
This Wan Qiluo is seventeen years old this year, and it is said that her family background should have been married a long time ago, but it just so happened that when this Wan Qiluo was born, there was a master who combined eight characters for her. Said that she was born rich and noble, it is not appropriate to marry early, and she must be married after the age of seventeen to ensure that she is rich and secure for a lifetime.
When the Wan family reaches this point, there is no need to rely on marriage to consolidate the family, and this Wan Qiluo is still the only girl in this generation, so it is naturally expensive, so the Wan family let out the words and will not discuss marriage before the age of seventeen.
After the New Year, this Wan Qiluo was just seventeen years old. Isn't being a queen a rich life? Maybe the master has already calculated today?
Wan Qiluo's grandfather was the first assistant, but Wan Shoufu had already resigned when the first queen mother was listening to the government, and the first queen mother was also planning to attack the Wan family, and then Li Junze rebelled, and the first queen mother did not have too much energy to deal with the Wan family, which allowed the Wan family to escape.
Later, after Li Junze entered Beijing, he felt that Wan Shoufu was also a bit of a civil servant, so he didn't blame him.
Although today's Wanjia is not as beautiful as before, there are also two people in the Wanjia who serve in the court, and they are also in important positions, and Wan Shoufu has been the first assistant for so many years, and he also has a lot of contacts in the court.
Let Wan Qiluo face Han Qing, Zhao Siyan thinks it is very suitable.
In addition to Wan Qiluo, there is another candidate, Jiang Xuefu, the daughter of the Ministry of Officials, Jiang Xuefu is sixteen years old this year, and she has not yet decided to marry, because the Ministry of Officials intended to let her enter the palace at that time, but at that time, the Queen Mother did not give the first emperor a draft, and the Ministry of Officials did not give her a marriage, and now the emperor has changed, and there is no delay at all.
Wan Qiluo and Jiang Xuefu are both from prominent backgrounds, Zhao Siyan selfishly felt that Wan Qiluo might be more suitable, but the queen's position was too important, and it was not for her to say it, so Zhao Siyan went to ask Li Junze about the temperament of the two girls.
Li Junze had a strong desire to survive, and he asked with a puzzled expression: "Madame, I'm afraid she asked the wrong person, right?" How can I know about this woman? ”
Zhao Siyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Back then, the prince's reputation was full of Beijing, leading countless famous ladies to bend their waists, who doesn't know who doesn't know?" ”
Li Junze: "......"
Li Junze sighed, and then said: "If you talk about which of these two people is more suitable to be the queen, I think it is Wan Qiluo, but if you say who is more suitable to be Han Qing's opponent, I think it should be Jiang Xuefu." ”
"Why is that?" Zhao Siyan asked puzzled.
"Wan Qiluo has only one daughter in this generation, and Wan Shoufu was in full swing at that time, so Wan Qiluo was very favored in Wanjia, and this time Wan Qiluo came out, and Wanjia was also helpless. This Wan Qiluo has been taught by famous ladies since she was a child, and Wan Jia has been carefully cultivated, she can be a qualified queen. ”
Zhao Siyan understood that Wan Qiluo had been smooth sailing since she was a child, she was born and favored, and the intrigue in the backyard couldn't fight her. The eldest lady who has never suffered setbacks is a real scholarly woman, and I am afraid that she is not Han Qing's opponent.
"Is this Jiang Xuefu...... She is also the concubine of the Ministry of Shangshu, but the affairs of the Jiang family are complicated. Li Junze said and continued: "Jiang Xuefu's mother only gave birth to one daughter to her, and she had no son. If it weren't for Mrs. Jiang's father being the mentor of the Ministry of Officials, I am afraid that the Ministry of Officials would have divorced his wife a long time ago. ”
Although the official Shangshu said that he did not dare to spoil the concubine and kill his wife, he has not been very kind to the mother and daughter, so Jiang Xuefu has not been in a good situation since she was a child, she has protected her mother since she was a child, and followed the concubine in that room, she wants to enter the palace, but also to be a backer for her mother. Such a woman full of fighting spirit, with scheming and means, and the motivation to climb up desperately, is more suitable to be Han Qing's opponent. Li Junze said.
Zhao Siyan suddenly realized, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Li Junze looked at her and said with a smile: "But as for who can be the queen, it still depends on what you mean, who you want to be, I will let whoever be the queen, okay?" ”
The major events after the establishment are related to the foundation of the banner, but Li Junze said it so lightly, and this result was only in her thoughts.
Zhao Siyan sighed: "It would be nice if I could see these two girls." ”
"What's so hard about that? If you want to see you, just make a post and ask them to come and see you. Li Junze said with a smile.
Zhao Siyan shook his head: "No, you are now the crown prince, and it is not good to make friends with important ministers." ”
Li Junze smiled indifferently: "If you don't be so cautious, your father won't be ......."
His voice came to an abrupt end in Zhao Siyan's clear gaze.
As for it, it may not have been so much before, but it's hard to say now, otherwise how could he compete for the throne with his son in the first place?
With Han Qing instigating on the side, what can't happen?
A complicated color flashed in Li Junze's eyes, he lost his mother when he was a child, and he was brought up by Yi Kangdi since he was a child, although both of them are cold and emotional, but the father-son relationship between the two is also very deep, and Yi Kangdi has never doubted him before.
But everything has changed since Han Qing followed Yi Kangdi, he doesn't know if Yi Kangdi has changed, or if he has changed, he is as smart and wise as him, and he can't even think of an answer.
As a crown prince, if he befriends important ministers, he will be jealous and dissatisfied with the emperor, he doesn't understand this truth, but he has no defense. It's because he always felt that he was his son, he was still his father, and then the king.
Zhao Siyan figured out this truth earlier than him, it wasn't that she was smarter than him, it was just that Yi Kangdi was not her father.
Li Junze had mixed feelings in his heart, but Zhao Siyan felt distressed and reached out to hug him. But she hated Han Qing very much in her heart, and she secretly made up her mind that she would never let Han Qing go!
Soon, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Li Junze didn't want to enter the palace because of the last incident, but he thought about it for a while and still entered the palace, because he had a very important matter.
Award people according to their contributions.
The emperor has been on the throne for a while, and it is time to give an explanation to his former followers.
The position of the first assistant fell on the Gu family, and Gu Cifu succeeded in becoming Gu Shoufu, and Han Mingyuan looked as usual when he heard the will.
Since the last time the emperor wanted to issue an edict but it didn't work, he guessed this result, so he was not surprised.
Gu Shoufu has become the head of a hundred officials, and the scenery is unique. However, what is surprising is that Gu Chenfeng, who performed well and made a lot of contributions, entered the Hanlin Academy and only became an editor.
Everyone knows that the Hanlin Academy is noble, and there is a saying that non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet. However, the Hanlin Academy is hard, and it will take several years to boil up the qualifications. Gu Chenfeng is so young and talented, he is the next head of the Gu family, and even went to Jiangnan to save Yi Kangdi in person. Such an identity is qualified to serve as a deputy of the six departments, but I didn't expect him to go to the Hanlin Academy.
Everyone thought that this was the Gu family's order to show a low profile, so they acted like this, and they couldn't help but be a little impressed by the Gu family.
