Seeing that Lan Ting was unmoved, the six princes stepped on the fence with their feet, making a posture of climbing over: "I jumped into this lake, but I can still wash my wrongs?" ”
Lan Ting shook his head and lowered his eyes: "Your Highness, let's try to defend yourself." ”
"You say I'm benefiting, how much can I benefit? It's not that I don't know that the Duke of Jin is loyal, and he has never participated in the struggle for power and profit, only the Shen family, the Gao family and the like will think that winning over the Duke of Jin is like holding military power, I mean to save the position, but I can't coerce the monarch's father, don't I still understand the reason that my father will not abolish the grandson and make me the prince because of my marriage with the Jin State Mansion? Besides, how can I influence my father's wishes and give me and Miss Dong a marriage past the fifth brother?
The fifth brother has also never been married, and the ranking is still before me, according to the queen's calculations, I believe that the fifth brother has no threat to the storage position, when the grandson can no longer marry the daughter of the Jin State Mansion, the queen must be biased towards the fifth brother, where could I have thought that the concubine would resist the decree, and the fifth brother and his uncle and cousin were in love, so that the father changed his mind. ”
"The Fifth Highness actually has a heart for Miss Mo?" This was indeed somewhat unexpected by Lan Ting.
"Although the father did not grant the marriage immediately, the concubine did claim that the fifth brother and Cousin Mo were in love, but Cousin Mo's temperament was ...... There are really abnormal people, and the father is still a little hesitant, hoping that the fifth brother will travel abroad, and maybe he will be able to change his mind in a few days. ”
"Didn't Your Highness know that the Fifth Highness had a heart in the past?"
His Royal Highness Sixth couldn't help but sigh: "My fifth brother and I are indeed brothers, but the fifth brother is even more close to him, and this matter is even tight-lipped to the fifth brother, how can he mention it to me?" ”
Lan Ting seemed to be convinced, but still questioned: "Although the Duke of Jin never participates in the competition for the reserve position, if Mrs. Yi and Miss Dong are forced to commit suicide, how can the Duke of Jin swallow his anger?" will definitely impeach the Duke of Song and the grandson to discredit the innocence of the granddaughter, force the death of the daughter-in-law and the granddaughter, and give the Song Mansion a fatal blow, and the call for the abolition of the prince in the court will also be even higher. ”
The sixth prince leaned against the fence and pressed his forehead, and felt that he couldn't argue with Dou E: "If I really plan like this, how can I stop the grandson?" I won't argue for Miss Dong's innocence, why don't you ask Mrs. Sister-in-law, Mrs. Sister-in-law was also present at the time, don't ask Mrs. Sister-in-law if I did my best that day! ”
"Maybe His Royal Highness thinks that the Duke of Jin is not enough to shake the throne, but this turmoil, according to the heart of the grandson, he will definitely hate the queen mother who tried to protect Miss Dong and thwart his treacherous schemes, if the prince is disrespectful or even disobedient to the queen mother, he will really anger the emperor, and begin to shake his determination, and adopt the advice of the ministers to abolish the prince and establish another virtuous."
The sixth prince opened his mouth and looked up at the sky: "Today should really be snowing in June." ”
After a long time, he said: "I might as well be scheming, even if I have such a wit, the imperial grandmother has the grace to raise and teach me, how can I design to let her old man incur the resentment of the grandson?" If I really lose my conscience like this, I will invite the sky to thunder! ”
The dignified prince actually swore a poisonous oath, but Lan Ting was still not completely moved: "When Taisun and Gao Peng broke into the forbidden to go to the Xuan Pei Garden, how could His Royal Highness be so coincidental and happened to witness it with his own eyes with the Fifth Highness and Wang Congzhi?" ”
"I do know that Song Guogong and the grandson will have a conspiracy that day, and they are planning to win over the Duke of Jin to protect themselves, but the Duke of Jin is obviously unwilling to marry the Duke of Song, and has no intention of making his granddaughter the concubine of the grandson, so I conclude that Song Guogong will not be wooed
can only be designed to coerce ...... I didn't put my eyes and ears in the East Palace and the Song State Mansion, because I was afraid that revealing the flaws would make my father suspicious, not trusted by my father, and even disgusted, so that I would completely lose the storage position, which was too risky for me. I planted my eyes and ears in the palace of the second emperor brother, and the spies of the second emperor brother heard about the conspiracy of the grandson, and when he reported it, my people heard a word, but he did not listen to it completely, and I don't know the details, and as long as the grandson left the east corridor to go to the women's banquet on that day, he would pass through the Qingsong Pavilion, so I waited there for the rabbit, intending to thwart the trick of the grandson. ”
"Your Highness, have you ever heard King Qi mention the murder of Chai Hupu?" Lan Ting asked.
"It must be mentioned that it must be mentioned, but the King of Qi is also surprised why Song Guogong would destroy the people's households, and he also said that Song Guogong was mad and killed himself." The sixth prince asked: "Could it be that behind the suspicion of the murder of Chai Hupu, there are still people who design the Taisun and Song Guogong?" ”
Without waiting for Lan Ting to respond, the sixth prince "rubbed" the ground and took a step forward: "Don't you suspect that I am the mastermind behind the scenes, right?!" ”
Only then did Lan Ting show a sincere smile to the six princes: "If I had this suspicion, I wouldn't have asked His Highness directly today." ”
Only then did the sixth prince sigh: "Thank you so much, don't still have a little trust in me." ”
"His Royal Highness's thoughts about seeking a prince, and now he is still hiding it from the Queen Mother?"
"I can't hide it, because I obeyed the order too simply, and the imperial grandmother didn't think that it was purely a coincidence that I stopped the evil deeds of the grandson and Gao Peng in time.
Lan Ting raised her eyebrows: "What does the Queen Mother think?" ”
"The imperial grandmother originally did not want to participate in political affairs, especially the abolition of the storage position, one is willing to cultivate oneself and spend the rest of the day, and the other is also to believe that the father and the emperor will focus on the community, but the birthday of the Dong girl was almost raped/humiliated, and then with the murder of Chai Hu Pu solved, the imperial grandmother heard that the grandson, Song Guogong was so heartbroken, and thought that the grandson was already hopeless, but she still did not want to force her father to abolish the prince, knowing my plan, the imperial grandmother warned not to have any disobedience to the father, and has this heart, I must bear the consequences of failure in the event of failure, and I must keep in mind my original intention, and do not make my mind faint by doing evil and profit by seizing power. ”
"In this way, the Queen Mother does not object to Her Royal Highness seeking the reserve?"
The six princes took a deep breath and took out a Lingzhi Hetian jade pendant from his sleeve: "I am a grandmother, this jade pendant is a pair, not a craftsman in the palace, but a carving of Gongshan Mountain, the emperor's grandfather was the first to recommend it because he heard that his jade-making craftsmanship was the first in the world, and forcibly recruited him to be a craftsman to be summoned into the palace to make jade. Gong Shen Yamamoto and Ning Guogong for the acquaintance, when there were many Ning Guogong ventilation news to know the danger in time, before leaving this pair of jade pendants, because of the meaning and wishes, so when the imperial grandmother entered the palace, Ning Guogong used the jade pendant as the imperial grandmother's makeup, the imperial grandmother asked me to transfer, said that if you don't shirk, the imperial grandmother will give another jade pendant to the sister-in-law in the future. ”
Lan Ting is now an official official of the imperial court, and it is inconvenient to enter and leave the inner court, and he can no longer be summoned to Cining Palace by the Queen Mother as he did when he was a child, so the Queen Mother's gesture to Lan Ting has to take such a tactful and roundabout way.
Harmony can be regarded as the Queen Mother's blessing to Lan Ting and his wife, she let the six princes transfer on their behalf, in fact, there is a hint of "harmony between the monarch and the minister", but if it is given directly, Lan Ting cannot shirk it, so reluctantly
The meaning of "harmony" is the opposite. If Lan Ting accepts, the Queen Mother will officially give another jade pendant for the spring return, which also proves that the "harmony" is indeed out of her intention, not made up by the six princes.
The Queen Mother knows that Lan Ting will never make decisions based on personal relationships, so she needs to make relatively obvious and formal gestures.
And since Lan Ting actually made a decision in his heart, he would not make any more prevarications at this time, so that the six princes would repeatedly show their sincerity, he took the jade pendant with both hands, and then respectfully bowed: "Court, swear loyalty to His Royal Highness King Zuozhou, inherit the will of the king, revive the prosperous world, and return the world to the sea banquet and the river." ”
From the initial questioning and questioning, to the surrender of the big gift in front of him, this difference is really huge, but the six princes were a little unexpected, the mood is really up and down, and he was stunned for a long time before he remembered that he should help Lan Ting, both hands were trembling, and as soon as he helped Lan Ting up, he clenched his fist and slammed it on his shoulder: "Don't promise so happily, you have already made a decision, I was still in such a posture earlier, but it scared me a lot." ”
As soon as the words fell, he laughed, and now he really felt refreshed.
The refreshed six princes really "entangled" in the Xisheng Pavilion for three days, and made a lot of delicacies cooked by the Lanting couple in turn, until the fifth prince borrowed the Xisheng Pavilion to be the east, he was very confident and picky: "Although today's blister kitchen is the manpower specially invited by Guangye Qian from Yulouchun, the color of the dishes can indeed be called exquisite, and the root radish is wasted when the work is carved into peony flowers, but in terms of taste, it is really not as good as the craftsmanship of the sister-in-law, but let us eat this dish, it seems that the cow chewed the peony, Is it better to eat or not to eat? ”
Ye Wanqing had already sandwiched a "peony flower" and was about to put it on Feng's food plate, it was a little difficult to listen to this evaluation, he was not afraid of being laughed at and vulgar, whether it was a cow chew or a cow drink, he would be ridiculed by the six princes, but he was worried that his wife was not as rough and thick as him after all, in case he was made fun of, and it was not good to contradict the dignified prince, he would feel distressed if he had a meal and a sullen stomach.
"Wuyake doesn't want to lose his demeanor, he has to lose some good luck, this peony swallow dish can be the first delicious made by the chef of Yulouchun, Wuyake still doesn't eat it, so we can chew a few more." Feng Shi smiled and greeted him with a plate, easily resolving his husband's problem.
Lan Ting knew that Chungui and Jiang Xin fell in love, so she specially invited her to come today, and she also came to make fun at this time: "I also chew one, this dish is refreshing and appetizing when you look at it, and the wine is good. ”
Everyone at the table laughed, and even the corners of Shi Buqun's mouth could see the upward arc, and the fifth prince laughed and ridiculed: "I'm not as brazen as you are Wuya, when you say that you are the east, it's just a graceful house that borrows from each other, do you still want to bother people to cook and manage it yourself?" Since Wuya thinks that today's dishes are not to the taste, I will not force you to go against your will, today you just drink. ”
"No Yake is scathing, it's a punishment for drinking." Ye Wanqing hurriedly fell into the well.
"No, I have offended so many people in order to compliment you and your wife, and you must do justice to me." Seeing Jiang Xin walking this way with the wine jug, the sixth prince hurriedly held the cup and dodged, and looked at Lan Ting with a blank eye.
"Thank you for the compliment, but you should drink the wine." Lan Ting stood by and watched.
"Is my sister-in-law so hard-hearted?" The six princes looked at the spring return again.
