Chapter 43: Protecting the Wife
Nan Huaifeng came back in the afternoon and saw that his face was not good, while Jiang Ziyu was happily counting the silver. It turned out that the brothers and sisters of the He family had just sent someone to spread the news, saying that they had signed a big order with a dart game, and the most lacking thing in this dart game was gold sore medicine and bone-setting wine.
Jiang Ziyu's medical hall has the best medicinal materials, and the dart board is also a big dart board, only seeking the best medicine, so he signed the contract immediately, and the head of the dart board also gave half of the deposit immediately.
"What are you so happy about?" When Nan Huaifeng arrived at Qingyu Pavilion, he saw Jiang Ziyu holding a stack of silver tickets happily, which was extremely difficult.
Jiang Ziyu shook the letter in his hand, Nan Huaifeng glanced at it, and said, "Isn't it silver?" As for it? β
"Money can be a hell of a grind, of course. If your private soldiers can't pay them, do you think they'll follow you? Jiang Ziyu glanced at him, saw that his face was not good, and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"It's not a big deal, if you go to the palace with me tomorrow, I always feel that Nan Zhenyi seems to know something, just in case you have to suppress the Queen Mother." Nan Huaifeng rubbed his eyebrows with tea, obviously a little tired.
"It's not surprising that Nan Zhenyi knows, but he embarrassed you in the court?" Jiang Ziyu thought a little bit in his heart, Nan Zhenyi tried several times at the begging festival banquet, how could he not guess anything if he was so smart? In terms of scheming, Nan Huaifeng may not be able to fight the Queen Mother's mother and son, after all, they are all people who have survived in the palace for a long time.
"When the mission came, Nan Zhenyi kept asking and choosing with his relatives, and said that he would set up a banquet in the imperial garden and select a few princesses and county lords for the envoy group to choose by themselves. At that time, I was looking for a conversation, but Nan Zhenyi would not give up, so I planned to make a direct order tomorrow. "Nan Huaifeng can't compare to his younger brother who can speak, and there are many people in the court who help him, so it is not easy for him to be the regent now.
"What kind of person do you think Princess Yuna is?" Jiang Ziyu tapped the desktop and asked lightly.
Nan Huaifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, and said in a low voice: "I look a little frank, I haven't been in contact with her, and I don't know much about her." β
Jiang Ziyu touched his chin and suddenly remembered Lu Yiting's matter, and said, "Now there is any idle place for Lu Yiting in the court." β
"Lu Yiting doesn't know martial arts, and he can't be a military general, I remember that the Ministry of Etiquette said a few days ago that he planned to return to his hometown, so it's better to let him go to be a secretary first." Nan Huaifeng didn't ask why he wanted to lift Lu Yiting, but since she spoke, then he just had to find a way.
Jiang Ziyu didn't understand this, but nodded and responded: "As long as outsiders know that Lu Yiting is behind the Forbidden Palace, it's okay, and let the people of Wuxuanhou Mansion weigh it, what will be the consequences of moving Lu Yiting on the bright side at this time." β
Nan Huaifeng naturally left everything to her, and he didn't leave in Qingyu Pavilion that night, although he lived in a side hall, he was happy and comfortable. The news of the prince's stay in Qingyu Pavilion soon reached Su Li's ears, and many porcelain clay pots were smashed in Yongchun Courtyard that night.
Early the next morning, Jiang Ziyu got up to freshen up, she didn't like to wear loose clothes, so Nan Huaifeng ordered to change the court clothes. He was wearing an ink-colored python robe that matched Jiang Ziyu today, and he was waiting for her in the yard after cleaning up early.
After getting into the carriage, Jiang Ziyu began to close her eyes and recuperate, her hair bun had not yet been combed, and she put a box of golden hairpins in her arms. Xingyu sat on the side and was uneasy, it was the first time she had sat in the same carriage with the prince. At this moment, she admired how her princess usually contacted the prince calmly as usual, and the prince's appearance of not being angry and arrogant was too scary.
"Chenxing, you are here to accompany the princess, the queen mother will inevitably pass through here if she wants to go to the main hall." The carriage stopped at the side gate of the main hall, and Nan Huaifeng went to the Taihe Hall alone.
Xingyu took advantage of this time to quickly shake Jiang Ziyu's hair, and took the rouge gouache to lightly coat Jiang Ziyu.
"It's so heavy." Jiang Ziyu touched the golden hairpin and tassel inlaid with gold and jade inlaid with gems on his head, and once again sighed at the difficulty of women in this era.
Xingyu took the cloisonnΓ© enamel mirror and shone it in front of Jiang Ziyu, Jiang Ziyu immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Wipe it." β
Jiang Ziyu didn't think Xingyu's painting was bad, but the red lips were too strong, and she was a little uncomfortable. Xingyu knew that the princess was not happy when she said it, so she hurriedly took a damp cloth and wiped it clean.
The master and servant tossed for a long time, but they didn't see any movement from the morning star outside. Jiang Ziyu sat in the carriage bored and drowsy, and was just about to fall asleep when he heard the morning star outside say, "Princess, the Queen Mother is here." β
Jiang Ziyu's eyes instantly cleared, and he lowered his voice and ordered: "Don't startle the snake." β
"Yes."
The Queen Mother just got the news that Nan Huaifeng chose Zhao Yingying as the person who made her relatives, although the Marquis of Jingyuan didn't care much about her daughter, but she didn't want her to marry far away. If you marry well in the capital, you can still help the family, and if you marry to Beiyi, it will be like not having this daughter.
Moreover, the queen mother herself chose the person who was close to her, and she was a clan relative who helped Nan Huaifeng on weekdays. In this case, Zhao Yingying must not be allowed to go to get married, so it is not Zhao Yingying and she cannot be any person selected by Nanhuai. Yi'er had already told her about this possibility yesterday, and she would wait near the Taihe Hall today to stop this harmony.
Not long after the Queen Mother entered, Jiang Ziyu straightened his clothes and got down from the carriage and followed.
In the Taihe Palace, King Rui is taking his own people and Nan Huaifeng to protest.
"The Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion has also made great contributions to Da Chu, if he chooses his daughter and relatives at this time, wouldn't it hurt the hearts of other military attachΓ©s?"
Nan Huaifeng sat in the chair next to the dragon chair, looked at the official who spoke with heavy eyes, and said: "This king does not deny the merits of the old marquis, the glory and wealth should not be missing them, even the princess Shang This king also gave a grace reward, and now he just wants a daughter of his family, and he actually said that this king has hurt the hearts of other people, and this king is the real chill." β
"Lord Qiyu, there are still many unmarried eldest princesses, and there are also many women in the clan who have not yet left the cabinet, why do you choose the young lady of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion? Isn't it that the prince has planned it a long time ago, and he is the position of the county lord who is rewarded with talent. β
With a touch of majesty in his eyes, Nan Huaifeng sneered when he heard this, and said, "How can Beiyi He De marry my princess of Da Chu?" Isn't it exalting them? Lord Zhao is extraordinary, even if he is close to him, he will not lose my face as a big Chu, is it not good? β
"The mourning family feels inappropriate, the Marquis of Jingyuan once accompanied the first emperor to fight, how can he send his daughter out to make peace now? Isn't the prince afraid that the girl will be eaten alive? The Queen Mother walked in from outside the hall, and the voice of grief and anger echoed in the hall.
Nan Huaifeng squinted his eyes and looked in the direction behind the Queen Mother, saw the black figure, and lowered his eyes and tapped the armchair.
"I didn't know that the Queen Mother cared so much about the government." Jiang Ziyu walked in slowly, glanced at the Queen Mother coldly, and walked straight up.
Jiang Mao saw his youngest daughter appear at this time, and he was full of anger: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, what are you doing here?" Don't get out of the way yet! β
Jiang Ziyu walked to Jiang Mao's side and paused, with a few hints of ridicule in his smile: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so what is the Queen Mother here?" Besides, if you don't retreat, you have to ask what the prince means. β
Nan Huaifeng beckoned to her with a smile in his eyes, got up and gave her a chair to sit on, and he stood in front of Baiguan.
"Today is only about harmony, since the Queen Mother and the concubine are here, it is just right to discuss together." Nan Huaifeng said so, but he quietly gave Jiang Ziyu a look.
Jiang Ziyu understood instantly, leaned on the armchair, and said lightly: "What is there to discuss?" This is not buying vegetables in the market, so you have to be close to whoever you want, is it difficult to rebel? β
"What a fox who charms the lord, the civil officials have been outspoken for generations, and you actually deducted the hat of rebellion for everyone in your mouth, what are your intentions?" An elderly civil official pointed at Jiang Ziyu full of anger, and Jiang Ziyu looked at him with cold eyes.
"The civil official admonishes these four words are not for you to use to hide your selfish intentions, since you ministers are so reluctant to marry Zhao Yingying, then it is better to choose a woman of the right age from the family you oppose to replace her."
Nan Huaifeng looked at the hundred officials condescendingly, and also looked at the Queen Mother, and asked, "What does the Queen Mother think?" β
King Rui frowned and wanted to speak, but Jiang Ziyu suddenly interrupted: "It's just a kiss, who to choose is not to choose?" If you want to oppose it, it should also be the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion who came to confront the prince in person, why are you so anxious to stand up for others? β
"Heh, it is natural for the prince to favor the princess, but the princess is so unruly, and she doesn't know how to respect and despise the civil servants and officials, which is a bit excessive." It was another old man who spoke, with a tall posture and sharp eyes, and the cloudiness of his eyes did not hide the little utilitarianism. Nan Huaifeng frowned and looked at him a little embarrassed, this was the father of the Queen Mother, the old Duke of Wei.
Nan Huaifeng thought for a moment, it's not good that he can't protect Jiang Ziyu on such an occasion, otherwise he won't be bullied by others in the future? So he straightened his face and said: "It's not too much for the emperor to favor the queen mother, not to mention that my son is a wife, what is too much?" The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but how much has the Queen Mother intervened in the past three years? Compared with the Queen Mother, Ziyu is more justifiable, right? β
The Queen Mother clenched her fists tightly, Nan Huaifeng stepped on her face to the ground in public, and what she hated most was that others said that her name was not right.
"Such a woman who despises the court, the prince should divorce her, otherwise the forbidden princess of Dachu is a woman who has no one in her eyes, but it will damage the reputation of the prince." Wei Laoguogong's eyes sank, he beckoned to the Imperial Forest Army outside, ignoring Nan Huaifeng and directly ordered: "Don't you bring the people who disturb the court down?" β
Jiang Ziyu's eyes were cold, and the heavenly silk was ready to take people's lives at any time. Nan Huaifeng stood in front of her, looked at Wei Lao Guogong coldly, and asked in a low and majestic voice: "Does Wei Lao Guogong want to compete with this king?" β
The first emperor gave Wei Laoguo the right to transfer some troops, because he favored the queen mother, and was afraid that his two sons would be unfavorable to the queen mother and the Wei family after his death, and it was also to allow them to fight against the court. But the first emperor did not expect that Nan Huaifeng had a long reputation in the border pass, and the new emperor ascended the throne and allowed him to form his own soldiers and horses. Compared with the troops, Nan Huaifeng has never been afraid of anyone.
Old Duke Wei took a deep breath slowly, he didn't expect Nan Huaifeng to protect this little girl from the Jiang family so much.
"This king should be carefully investigated, who will inform the harem of the previous dynasty, and the queen mother will know and relatives before the next dynasty, if no one communicates with this king, it is categorically unbelievable. I can't find out the reason today, and this king will not give up. β
Nan Huaifeng had a little anger in his eyes, King Rui was already panicking at the moment, how could Nan Huaifeng use such a radical way? It stands to reason that he should be afraid of his grandfather's power, but if he investigates at this moment, his hands and feet have not been dealt with, and he will definitely be found out.
King Rui's eyes glanced at the old Duke of Wei next to him, and the old Duke of Guo's mind turned around, and decided to relax this time: "The old minister thinks that it is not appropriate to make a big deal today, but he is a candidate for harmony, if the prince is decided, he will make an order, so as not to let the people of Beiyi get the news and take the opportunity to make a joke about my big Chu." β
Wei Laoguo Gong gave the steps, Nan Huaifeng will not go down, what he said just now was to force them to agree to the candidate for peace, and sure enough, this method of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle is more suitable for dealing with the Queen Mother's party.
He looked sideways at Jiang Ziyu, who was sitting in a chair casually, with a slight smile in his eyes. Jiang Ziyu's murderous intent will be restrained for him, which is enough to prove that she has a good position in her heart.
