Chapter 258: Dying
Chapter 258: Dying
Ning Xiao yesterday mentioned that Queen Du Yiyi wanted to canonize Qinglan as the second lady, and the queen had a banquet today, she could guess that the queen was paving the way for this matter, after all, Ning Zhiyuan was a descendant of the Ning family, and only these few royal relatives who stayed in the capital could intervene in his family affairs.
"Princess, get on the sedan chair!"
Mother Xu glared at Qinglan who had already entered the sedan chair behind her and Chang's mother who was standing beside the sedan chair and bent down to invite Du Yiyi into the sedan chair.
Du Yiyi looked at the alley in front of her, she recognized the old mother standing there, and saw the old mother dancing with her, Du Yiyi thought about it, and walked across the sedan pole to the alley.
Seeing Du Yiyi coming, the old mother was overjoyed, and immediately stuffed a letter into Du Yiyi's hand after bowing.
"Princess Rui, this is what the prince asked the slave to give you, and the slave is here waiting for the princess!" The old woman bowed and hurriedly retreated into the alley.
The Epistle ............ Du Yiyi looked at the letter in his hand, glanced at the old mother who had walked to the end of the alley, and thought about what King Richao had done recently.
"Princess!" Mother Xu walked over behind her, and Du Yiyi, who came back to her senses, hurriedly put away the letter, turned around and followed Mother Xu to the sedan chair and got into the sedan chair.
"Get up!" With the shouting of Xu's mother, the long-awaited sedan chair driver worked together to lift the sedan chair smoothly and swayed towards the palace.
Although King Chao has been in trouble recently, none of them can really force him into an embarrassment, how did he get a letter to himself, the last time he wrote a letter to himself, it was Yan Xinglu's matter, isn't this matter resolved?
Du Yiyi opened the letter, and her puzzled expression began to become panicked and angry.
The two words that appear most often in the letter are Shen Ke and An Guogong.
She didn't know where King Chao guessed the identities of Shen Ke and An Guogong, but what was said in the letter was true, and the most incomprehensible thing was that King Chao sent the letter to her.
The old lady said that she would wait in the alley when the time came?
What the hell is he going to do?
Shen Ke's true identity can't be a stinger that restricts him, Ning Chaoge should also know this, what is his goal?
In Ning Yuan Palace, Ning Zhiyuan, who had already eaten half a plate of pastries, was finally refreshed and his limbs were strong, the emperor had been reviewing and reviewing in the imperial study, and the first assistant of the cabinet had been pending after Lu Yi'an's resignation, and the emperor's burden was also a lot heavier.
"What happened to the last time I told you?" The emperor closed the book without lifting his head, picked up a piece of yellow silk cloth and wrote.
Ning Zhiyuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the pastry crumbs off his lips, got up and shook off the crumbs on the placket, and then sat down and picked up the teacup and drank it deliciously.
"Don't pretend you didn't hear." The emperor knocked on the table in displeasure.
Ning Zhiyuan reluctantly let his mouth leave the teacup, and coughed lightly: "Father, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." ”
"I heard that Ning Xiao went to you yesterday, and Qi Zhaoyi reprimanded Qinglan?" The emperor dipped the ink and lifted the pen.
"This is pure nonsense!" Ning Zhiyuan didn't want to make trouble for Qi Zhaoyi at this time, the queen didn't know what kind of personality she had.
"You went to the Zhao Mansion to stay overnight the other night?"
"It was a moment when the two of them were talking happily, but it was a little late."
The emperor glanced at Ning Zhiyuan sneeringly, picked up the jade seal on the table and stamped it. "I plan to ask the queen to order the canonization of Qinglan as the second-rank lady and promote her to the side princess."
Ning Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ning Xiao didn't say that she was just a second-grade lady yesterday, why is it progressing so fast now? After reacting, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Father think twice!" The son is unwilling! ”
"I have every opportunity, and I am still heartbroken for your family affairs, what else do you not want to do, I have wronged you?" The emperor angrily put the jade seal in the jade seal box, and the jade seal and the box made of camphor wood made a banging sound, which frightened the book on the side like a sea of frightened hearts and felt distressed.
Ning Zhiyuan took a step back and bowed: "Father, let's talk about the princess later!" The Rui Wangfu has calm, and the sons don't want to be restless! ”
"What kind of house is restless, you mean I can't do something? This matter has been decided, a big man can't even control the main concubine, what else can he do! "The emperor's anger is obviously not aimed at Ning Zhiyuan, if there is no Du Yiyi, who does he want to become Princess Rui today, Ning Zhiyuan will not have an opinion, let alone object, the biggest thorn in the head, or Du Yiyi.
"Erchen doesn't dare, father, you have already given Qinglan this, let Erchen take care of the rest! In the matter of the side princess, Erchen felt that it was too fast............ "In the face of the emperor's tough words, Ning Zhiyuan did not have the slightest confidence in his heart, and the emperor had the absolute right to speak in his family affairs.
"Zhiyuan, you have always been smart, in this matter, I don't want you to be confused, books are like a sea, send him out!"
"Yes!" Shu Ruhai quickly walked down the steps, and when he arrived in front of Ning Zhiyuan, he respectfully made a gesture of please.
"Father, it's really difficult for a minister like you!"
The emperor pale, impatiently waved his hand with Shu Ruhai, Shu Ruhai saw this, and immediately interrupted Ning Zhiyuan's words: "His Royal Highness King Rui, please keep up with the old slave!" ”
Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Shu Ruhai, who was lowering his eyebrows, and then looked at the emperor with a flat face, took a deep sigh of resentment, and had to keep up with Shu Ruhai's footsteps.
Outside the Ningyuan Palace, there is finally no howling cold wind in the cold winter of last year and the beginning of spring this year, the breeze blows the flags, and the sun shines on the earth, making the Jin Ge in this square also quiet and solemn.
Shu Ruhai slowly let Ning Zhiyuan step forward, respectfully hunched his waist and followed behind him, seeing that Ning Zhiyuan had been just keeping his head down and sullen, Shu Ruhai smiled and said with relief: "His Royal Highness King Rui, the emperor is also a good intention." ”
"I know, it's just that he is doing bad things with good intentions!" Ning Zhiyuan kicked the small pebble that was broken from a stone brick, and walked along the path of this small stone in this square with twists and turns.
"Your Royal Highness, you can't say that! Emotional matters, the emperor is also a person from the past, he can see it more clearly than His Royal Highness King Rui, besides, His Royal Highness King Rui also has greater ambitions! If it's because of a woman, it's also a little ...... "The book is like a sea point, and the light smile looks at Ning Zhiyuan and looks down at the road.
Shu Ruhai pointed to the point where Ning Zhiyuan and the emperor were related to the interests in addition to being father and son, if Ning Zhiyuan stood on the opposite side of the emperor in this matter, it would be the most unfavorable for the position he wanted to fight for in the future, Ning Zhiyuan has not expressed his position in the matter of the emperor and Shen Ke, that is, because of this, if he wants to have an unpleasant quarrel with the emperor for Du Yiyi, then it will be like a book like a sea that bows his head and smiles.
"Father-in-law, I haven't been to see the government meeting set up by your Dongchang in the palace, since I see that you are free, why don't you take me to see it?" Du Yiyi's position is firm and will not waver, what he has to do now is to reverse the deadlock between the emperor and Shen Ke.
Since the establishment of the East Factory in the palace gate also built a government office, and the palace outside the palace to echo each other inside and outside the communication is very convenient, now the palace servants are under the jurisdiction of the East Factory, although the book is just a eunuch, but it has been in this palace to call the wind and rain above the ten thousand people.
"This mansion is elegantly built!" He has also been to the east factory outside the palace once or twice, compared to this place is much more solemn and majestic, this place in the palace, if you don't know, you may only think that this is just a dormitory.
"Your Royal Highness King Rui, please, Miss Ziyue is in the East Factory now, I don't know ...... His Royal Highness King Rui" Shu Ruhai glanced at Ning Zhiyuan, and when he saw that his face was expressionless, he immediately changed his mouth and said: "The fetus in the womb of Miss Ziyue is safe, His Royal Highness King Rui doesn't have to worry!" ”
"The East Factory under the jurisdiction of the father-in-law is really full of life! The number of cases in the palace has decreased in the past few months, and it is definitely inseparable from Dongchang and Father-in-law! Ning Zhiyuan took the tea from a factory guard and put it on the table, and looked around the lobby with his eyes smart, the expansion speed of the East Factory is indeed rapid, but the results of the East Factory are definitely handy, and the cases in the palace have decreased sharply, which has made many people silent.
"His Royal Highness King Rui laughed, the old slave is just helping the emperor do what he can!" Shu Ruhai still stood respectfully behind Ning Zhiyuan.
Ning Zhiyuan retracted his gaze and sat down: "Father-in-law Shu should not be humble, everyone sees the merits of Dongchang, Father-in-law Shu is a trusted minister of his father, and he is loyal to his father, otherwise his father would not hand over such an important place of the palace to Dongchang instead of Jinyiwei!" ”
"Where is the old slave compared to Commander Zhu, the old slave is old and frail, so he can only do these things, Commander Zhu is the one who does great things!" Shu Ruhai sneered and stood aside and waited for Ning Zhiyuan to stretch out his hand to signal before sitting down next to the chair, for the descendants of the Ning family, even if Shu Ruhai has the capital of pride, there will never be a little disrespect.
"The Fuhu army changed the father-in-law of the book to risk his life, and the credit does not have to be commanded by Zhu, after the establishment of the East Factory, he will govern the palace, and the position of the Jinyi Guard is much the same, but the East Factory has done, to be honest, it is not weaker than the Jinyi Guard, the father-in-law has been in front of his father for so many years, but on this point, no one can compare, you General Shen now, don't you also ............" Ning Zhiyuan pursed his lips and shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"His Royal Highness King Rui............" talked about such a sensitive topic at such a sensitive moment, even if the book is like a sea, it must not be sensitive and cautious to answer. Jinyiwei governs the safety of the capital, the task is much heavier than the palace, there is no way to compare, we Dongchang, outsiders will laugh, that is, a group of eunuchs, a group of rabble, and Jinyiwei, dare not compare, dare not compare! ”
Ning Zhiyuan smiled and looked at the book like a sea, and the book was like a sea and avoided it with a smile.
The eunuch doesn't want to admit what he hates the most, that is, others say that they are eunuchs, that is, they can no longer be normal men, even if Shu Ruhai is old and has a pure heart, but this resentment is impossible to disappear, and his avoidance can only confirm some things.
The friction between the East Factory and Jinyiwei again and again has explained everything, even if the movable property can endure Jinyiwei, the arrogant and domineering Jinyiwei cannot endure the East Factory.
Sooner or later, the two parties will have to make a big fight, and Ning Zhiyuan just wants to make this the fastest sooner or later.
