Chapter 187: The Red Candle Burns High
"Not red enough." Then he squinted at the box of red candles held by the palace maid, and said critically. The palace maid immediately withdrew with the box in her hand, and the attendant on the side held a pen and ticked it around somewhere on the list.
"It's right, but it's too light." She weighed the weight of half a silk silk again, and said slowly.
"How does the Ministry of Rites do things to make Niangniang bother so much." The chamberlain said in a hoarse voice while recording.
After that, he was not angry, and pursed his lips and said: "Things are a little urgent, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, so it will not get in the way." ”
"Yes, yes," the chamberlain stepped forward complimentarily, picked up a string of pearls, and said with a smile: "In another month, the county lord's filial piety will pass, and the wedding date is set for September 16 after that, which is really urgent." ”
"Well," Ji Hou couldn't help but laugh: "When the prince got married, the time was also very urgent. This time there is a war ahead, and the palace has already informed the Ministry of Rites, and everything is simple. Speaking of which, His Majesty is ill, and he shouldn't have made a big deal about the marriage. I don't know if His Majesty will blame this palace when he wakes up. ”
"How so?" The official of Zongzheng Mansion who had sent the wedding gift said: "Niangniang is working so hard, isn't it to give His Majesty joy?" When the crown prince got married, His Majesty's health was good. Now that the regent is married, it must be very good. ”
Then he smiled and turned his head, his eyes full of cold light.
Your Majesty, I can't wake up.
When the front is successful, as soon as the crown prince dies, His Majesty will not have a few days to live.
……
Southeast, islands.
After a few rains, the dirty blood that had soaked in the floor tiles had been washed away, and the lively scene in Zheng's mansion was restored.
A man with his hood over his head is ushered into the inner courtyard.
Zheng Xie closed the door and led him through a secret door.
This dark room was built by renovating the Zheng Mansion after he took over the island and splitting two houses. You can't see anything from the outside, but everything inside is everything.
The man lifted his hood, revealing a handsome face.
"How is Lord Zheng doing?" He asked, a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"Sima Xian's nephew, don't make fun of so-and-so." Zheng Xie laughed, dragged him to sit in front of the tea table, couldn't wait to boil the tea, and said, "What is the big deal, let Sima Xian's nephew wade in the water himself?" ”
The person who came, Sima Shuoyue, the second prince of Nanyi.
Sima Shuoyue didn't seem to be in a hurry, she boiled the tea like a guest, took out the tea leaves she brought from her sleeves, and gave Zheng Xie tea after boiling it.
Zheng Xie, who was in a hurry, was patient, seeing that he was good little by little, regardless of the hot tea, he picked up the cup and drank it, and asked again: "Just convince your Sima family, no matter what happens, you are not in a hurry at all." ”
Sima Shuoyue smiled calmly and said slowly: "The eldest brother brought a message from Chang'an, saying that the Sima family has tried their best to promote Master Zheng to take over the island, and the war in the north has started, and then the island will not sit idly by on the southern side, right?" ”
Zheng Xie snorted and didn't respond.
The corners of Sima Shuoyue's mouth twitched, and she said slowly: "There is news for Master Zheng by the way, the maid Yanzi, who escaped from the island, has already informed the county lord of what you have done." After that, the county lord is going to marry the regent in a hurry, why is it, you must know very well, right? ”
Zheng Xie had a hint of hecticism in his eyes.
He was stunned and said, "No, I have already made an agreement with Her Royal Highness the Empress." ”
Sima Shuoyue was very satisfied with the effect of his words, he picked up the teacup and blew off the floating leaves, and said slowly: "In this world, how many people can be in the future?" Didn't Master Zheng think about whether it was better for the regent to let his wife be the owner of the island, or to let you, an uncle who was an insider, be the owner of the island? ”
Zheng Xie didn't speak for a long time, tasting Sima Shuoyue's meaning in his heart.
Sima Shuoyue continued: "Although the island is big, it is only an island after all. Although the southern country is large, it has been subject to Dahong for a long time. It's better for us to divide the world with the Jin people, and at that time, Master Zheng can build the East Kingdom and be the lord of the country. How is it? ”
