Chapter 358: Grapevine

Luo Yi, who persuaded his uncle, is in a good mood, although many things have not been mentioned yet, but his uncle has been convinced, which means that he can get along openly and honestly with his own will in the future.

There is no need to consider the various connections between King Ye and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, after all, although Ji Qingyao and Uncle Xiao have no disagreements in the court, they have no relationship with each other, so she still has concerns about these relationships.

After all, if the two major forces like them, which have no enmity or grudge, and do not interfere with each other, once they form a marriage, it may make the other forces move.

First of all, the most unstable is the emperor, in addition, other ministers such as the Zuo Prime Minister's Office, or some other ministers may choose to stand in line again.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Luo Yi and Ji Qingyao are really together, it will not be an accident that the court is turbulent.

But now the two of them only have a little heart for each other, and they haven't reached the point where they are hired, so the outside world doesn't know.

But think of danger in peace, since they have this meaning, they must think about it for the future.

So, Luo Yi began to come out to inquire about the news.

If there is a most convenient place to inquire about news, it is a few major places.

One is the teahouse.

There is no absolutely correct news in a place like a teahouse, but the gossip and some hearsay that definitely let you hear enough, such a place is extremely well-informed, although the top secrets can't be heard, but some topics that everyone can talk about are endless.

If you want to chat and listen to gossip, this is definitely a great place to go.

The second place, that is the News Building.

It is generally a secret place that will exist in some big cities, such a place can be a green house, or a teahouse or a tavern, which most people don't know, only some people who specialize in this trip are very proficient.

Such a place has always been bought and sold according to the value of the news, how much silver is worth, it is all clearly marked, this kind of place is only you can't think of, there is absolutely no news that they can't find.

Of course, the price is absolutely appalling.

If it weren't for something, wouldn't it?

The secret must be known, and that can't be done.

There is also a place where beggars' dens are located.

Beggars' dens are not those who beg on the streets, but those who specialize in begging for a living, but in fact inquire about the news of trafficking, and such places are organized and disciplined.

The price is a little cheaper than that of the news building, but most of the secrets they know are not so secret, in other words, some secrets of the imperial court that are not allowed to be passed on, they naturally do not know.

Luo Yi was not interested in knowing any secrets for the time being, so she came to the teahouse today.

changed into ordinary clothes, changed the makeup on her face, and turned into a little peasant woman who looked pretty, but definitely not a country and a city, and then found a corner and slowly listened to gossip.

The gossip in this place is not only those who tell stories, but most of the news comes from the mouths of these people who come to drink tea and listen to books.

When everyone sits together and chats, they will naturally gossip about these news, sometimes it is nothing, sometimes it is extremely important, no, now Luo Yi heard some news that made her a little interested.

A middle-aged man looked sloppy, drinking cheap tea, and said while foaming: "Dude, you don't know yet, I heard that the second prince is now married to Miss Zhao, the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the wedding between the two is scheduled for three months later, and Miss Zhao is really out of luck."

The daughter of a third-grade official actually gave the second prince a concubine, although the emperor did not reward anything, but being able to be the concubine of the second prince is also a big miracle in the world, and it is definitely the smoke on the ancestral tomb. ”

"How do you know?"

"Yes, it's a palace secret."

"Hey, there is no impermeable wall in the world, although the emperor gave the two of them a marriage for the sake of face, but everyone knows that these two have been without a matchmaker before, otherwise why would they set the time for the wedding three months later."

"That's it." Another old man who looked like a scholar immediately answered: "This royal marriage is generally set very early, some are set from birth, and some are also several years in advance

After all, there is an inspection period, no matter how rushed it is, it will take at least one or two years to prepare for such a grand wedding, why should it be set in such a hurry after three months, it is clear that there is a problem. ”

"Isn't it, now that the imperial court is doing this, there was a taste of wanting to cover it up at that time."

"You don't know this, there were rumors some time ago that the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is pregnant, and now when you hear this, it's not right."

Luo Yi listened to it with relish on the side, not to mention, most of what these people said were right, and there was no doubt that the source of these news was from those people in the palace.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it will not be the subordinates, first, if the subordinates have no channels and no backstage support, they don't have the courage to be caught, which is a big crime of the Zhu Jiu clan.

The second reason is that these gossips are at most just talking between those palace maids and eunuchs, and they don't think much of a deal, and there are not too many conflicts of interest with them.

Luo Yi understands that this news, eight times out of ten, came out of those who have a grudge against the second prince and Concubine Mei, and such a scandal has a great impact on the reputation of the second prince.

Not to mention, the good reputation that the second prince used to run has almost been ruined.

Although these ordinary people don't have any actual evidence, or what they can't do with the second prince, the image of the second prince in the hearts of these people has plummeted.

After that, once something happens, the balance of these people will unconsciously tilt in favor of another person, when a prince with a good reputation has a disagreement with a prince with a bad reputation, who are you willing to believe?

Thinking about it this way, Luo Yi felt that the scope was greatly reduced.

After this time, the public opinion will be active to deal with the second prince, which is nothing more than the other princes, or those who have the opportunity to compete for the throne.

Except for these people, no one will be idle and have nothing to do.

After listening to the gossip all the time, Luo Yi went home slowly in a good mood, after all, he came out to relax today.
