1017, return to the court
,
After sending Mrs. Qian away, Mrs. Zheng Si personally went to Xifu to pick up Xu Shu back, and saw Xu Shu holding a chic lantern in her hand, and said with a smile, "Jin Ling said that you take an extra urn of snow water, it turned out that it was to be exchanged for Sister Ying'er's lantern, such a beautiful lantern, but unfortunately it will not be used until next year!" ”
"This is what I gave to Sister Yi! I made it myself! Thank you for the snow water of the fourth aunt, I just made tea with snow water to eat, and it is really different from the well water, it is more clear and sweet! ”
"Good tea must be matched with good water, the plum blossom tea you worked hard to make, can not be ruined by the well water! It's just that there was less snow last year, and there wasn't much snow water, so you have to save some money! ”
Zheng Wanying nodded, "I only use it to make good tea!" ”
"Xiao Jiu, let's go back, your father has come back, waiting for you to have dinner together!"
Xu Shu looked up at the sky, and sure enough, it was not early.
"I'll send the fourth aunt and Sister Yi!" Zheng Wanying took the hood and followed out of the house.
Xu Shu glanced into the distance, and sure enough, she met Zheng Zhiwen at the door again, which made Xu Shu's strange feeling in her heart increase unabated, whether she came to Xifu or Zheng Wanying went to the Begonia Pavilion, almost every time, she could meet Zheng Zhiwen without surprise, either to pick up Zheng Wanying, or to send something, every time the reason was not the same, but she stood still.
But what made Xu Shu feel even more strange was that it was just a collision, Zheng Zhiwen had no other suspicious actions, as if he really didn't appear on purpose! This made Xu Shu can't help but wonder, is it really just that she thinks too much? Could it be that Zheng Zhiwen only shows up every time because he cares about his sister? But thinking that Zheng Zhiwen overheard her life experience, Xu Shu couldn't let go of Zheng Zhiwen.
"Brother Wen came to find Sister Ying?"
"Fourth aunt!" Zheng Zhiwen bowed his hand, and bowed to Xu Shu again, "Ninth sister!" ”
Xu Shu returned the salute sideways, "Brother Zhiwen! ”
"Mother asked me to call my sister to eat, and the fourth aunt and the ninth sister should also come together!"
Fourth Lady Zheng refused with a smile, "No, your fourth uncle is still waiting for us to go back!" Sister Ying, go with your brother quickly, don't let your mother wait for a long time! ”
"The fourth aunt and Sister Yi go slowly!"
Mrs. Zheng Si smiled and nodded, and separated from the brother and sister Zheng Zhiwen with Xu Shu, Zheng Zhiwen saw the lantern in Xu Shu's hand and couldn't help but ask Zheng Wanying, "That lantern ...... Something familiar! ”
Zheng Wanying lowered her head embarrassedly, "Today's lantern festival is gone, and keeping this lantern is also a futile annoyance, I see that Sister Yi praised this lantern, it seems that she likes it, and Sister Yi is a rabbit, so I gave the lantern to Sister Yi, my brother won't blame me, right?" ”
"How so?" Zheng Zhiwen smiled and touched Zheng Wanying's head, "Since I gave you the lantern, whoever you give it to is your freedom!" ”
Back to the Begonia Pavilion, Xu Shu asked people to put away the lanterns, it is better to be careful during the national funeral, although it is just a small lantern, but if it is caught by someone with a heart, it is another right and wrong, so Zheng Wanying did not refuse when she wanted to give the lantern to her, if Zheng Wanying was seen when she was playing with the lantern, it would be bad to attack the Zheng family!
Then in Puyuxuan, when he ran out of food, when he was drinking tea, Master Zheng Si suddenly said, "The emperor has already written a document from Zhongshu Province to summon King Pingning to return to the dynasty!" ”
"So fast?" Mrs. Zheng Si was a little surprised.
Master Zheng Si shook his head slightly, "The emperor's physical condition is not ideal, so ...... Hurry up! And...... The emperor was also forced to summon King Pingning back to the dynasty, taking advantage of the fact that it was now the period of the funeral of Prince Long An, he could not feast and drink to congratulate, and King Pingning was back quietly, so he could also suppress the arrogance of King Pingning! ”
Everything has to be hurried, does this mean that the emperor's body can't last long?
Mrs. Zheng's heart jumped, "So, did the Fu family win?" "In all fairness, Mrs. Zheng Si feels that the Fu family's chances of victory are still relatively large, and in terms of bloodline inheritance, there is no more suitable candidate than King Pingning!
Master Zheng Si still shook his head, "But the emperor also gave King Ji 100 acres of good land today, 1,000 taels of gold, and 10,000 taels of silver, which seems to have the intention of lobbying for the Deng family!" The Deng family wants to pass the son of King Ji to Prince Long'an, but King Ji has always refused to agree, if the emperor comes forward, King Ji may have to agree! ”
"What does the emperor mean by this? responded to the Deng family and promised the Fu family, but there was only one position! "Then who does the emperor want?
Master Zheng Si looked at Xu Shu, he seemed to already know what Xu Shu meant when he said, "Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" ”
"The emperor wants to see who can win in the end, the Deng family and the Fu family?"
Master Zheng Si still shook his head, "No one will win, the emperor will win in the end!" The Deng family has the Empress Dowager at the helm, and the Fu family has united with the tall people, and the left and right are of the same heart, which is a great threat to the emperor, especially now that the emperor's dragon body is not good, the fear is even heavier! ”
"Your Majesty, this is to make them both lose!"
"If they don't lose both, where will our Zheng family have a chance?" Master Zheng Si smiled a little proudly.
Xu Shu felt slightly sorry in her heart, in the end, it would be the emperor and the Deng family who would lose both, as long as Zhou Jin returned to the court, the next thing would not be the emperor's turn, at this time, even if the queen mother proposed a succession, in the end, it could only urge the emperor to attack the Deng family.
Mrs. Zheng took a long breath, "It's finally going to be a conclusion, after so many days of worrying, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" ”
"It's coming!" Master Zheng Si smiled, the Zheng family finally had a chance to get ahead.
On the 10th day of the first month of the thirteenth year of the Great Calendar, Emperor Dayin repaired a letter to Yujiu Lu Qiulun Khan of Rouran, wanting to recall the King of Pingning, the proton of Dayin who had been hostage in Rouran for more than ten years, and took Lord Huang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as a special envoy, and personally went to Rouran to welcome back King Pingning.
But the Huang family is a henchman of the Deng family, and the fourth lady of the Huang family is still the eldest princess appointed by the Empress Dowager, just because the eldest prince died, and the marriage was annulled before it could be fulfilled.
But it is not easy for Zhou Jin to wait for this fair and righteous will, no matter who the emperor sends to Rouran, it can't stop Zhou Jin's return to Dayin's footsteps, Xu Shu believes that Zhou Jin must have a way to deal with the Huang family, no matter how bad it is, doesn't the Huang family also have a daughter in Rouran? At this time, won't the Huang family weigh the pros and cons?
After Lord Huang received the order, he immediately led the guard of honor to Rouran, and the Deng family was also trying to lobby King Ji, wanting to give Prince Long An a step-son as soon as possible, and even the Queen Mother summoned King Ji and his wife into the palace several times, which made King Ji annoyed.
