Chapter 264: Talking with a Face
As Li Chun expected, the emperor woke up the next day and issued an edict.
He said that Wenlan was indeed messing around yesterday, especially if she ruined the Queen Mother's birthday gift, she should be punished. However, Nian was young and ignorant in Wenlan, so he was punished lightly. From now on, Vinland will be personally disciplined by the Queen, and all affairs related to Vinlan will be personally taken care of by the Queen......
This oracle does not specify the actual punishment for Vinland, nor does it give any indication of Vinland's marriage, which sounds plausible and does not seem unreasonable.
Anyway, most people, including Zhu Changan, didn't understand the emperor's true intentions. Concubine Zhao also planned to find the emperor to find out if she would still issue a decree to give marriage at the end of the southern tour, and whether she would give the position of concubine......
Concubine Zhao naturally didn't see the emperor, but instead found out that the emperor was lucky to have Tian Meiren who danced last night, and was quite satisfied with her service.
Hearing a string of pleasant pipa sounds coming from the emperor's courtyard, thinking of the emperor's indifference and disgust yesterday, Concubine Zhao was depressed, and many people were sad and angry.
In the past, it was not easy for Huanghua to pick up Jun En again, not to mention that the emperor was a cold-hearted person, and the opponent was still a delicate and extraordinary, tender flower that could pinch out the water, and she wanted to win the favor of the past is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
The cruel reality made her have to accept it, and Concubine Zhao sighed. Her future can only depend on her son. Everything is going well, her son has been busy recently, and she, the mother concubine, has to continue to work hard!
……
The emperor has made up his mind, but he deliberately keeps it a secret.
First, he was waiting for North Korea's reply, and at this moment, he naturally held the chess pieces tightly in his hands and did not fall in a hurry. Only when the Joseon royal couple is panicked, can he maximize his interests.
Second, everyone knew that he was going to marry Wenlan Zhu Si, but at this moment, it suddenly repeated, which is really not good.
Third, he wants to set aside a period of time to buffer Wenlan's reputation, as long as Wenlan is close to the queen during this time, he gradually becomes estranged from Zhu Changan's mother and son, and then proposes marriage after the southern tour, it will not be easy to cause much tongue at that time......
Concubine Zhao, who was bent on her son, went to find Vinlan. One is to explore the wind, and the other is to ask questions for birthday gifts.
But Concubine Zhao pounced, she couldn't find Wen Lan at all.
In the end, she finally blocked Wen Lan at the crown princess's residence, seeing that Wen Lan was not kind and cold to her, she only thought that Wen Lan was angry with the crown princess, and she made trouble because of yesterday's incident.
"Eat the queen's loss, right? You bear with it, after a few days of the Queen Mother's birthday, your punishment will naturally be lifted. You smashed An'er's birthday gift, and An'er couldn't hold her face. I won't be able to come and see you for a few days. Concubine Zhao saw Wen Lan's straight face, and she was also unhappy.
But her son told her early in the morning that the two of them wanted one to sing red face and the other to play white face. Only in this way will Wen Lan downplay the anger caused by the "side concubine" in the process of jealousy, self-blame and guilt, and turn it into gratitude, reliance and stammering with his mother and son.
For this reason, Zhu Changan planned to cool Wenlan for a few days, and Concubine Zhao would come to the door to coax people first.
"If you have anything you need or want to convey, tell your mother. After these few days, the mother will ask An'er to take you around......"
"Are you alright? It's okay, so I'm in! Wen Lan resisted the urge to push Concubine Zhao away.
This shameless mother and son! When you see it through, these ugly faces suddenly become clear. Vinland felt ashamed every time she said more.
"You kid, what's the hurry? You shouldn't be angry with An'er, right? Hey, the mother concubine will tell you quietly, An'er is about to prepare a surprise for you these days. After his birthday at the latest, he will definitely take out that surprise. The two of you fell in love at first sight, and he only had you in his heart! My mother-in-law is the same, and I only identify you as a daughter-in-law in my heart. The rest, don't think about it. ”
Concubine Zhao saw Wen Lan lower her head, thinking that she was right, but she didn't see Wen Lan's fists clenched.
It's okay not to talk about it, but when it comes to the words "love at first sight", "love at first sight", and "daughter-in-law", Wen Lan seems to hear the painful sound of a slap on the face. Shame on you! She can't swallow this breath!
"Speaking of the big birthday, it's not a few days, Wen Lan, you should pay for An'er's birthday gift yesterday...... Are you ready? ”
"Concubine Zhao, what is the hurry, I have responded in public, can I still run away?"
"That's good. Wen Lan, you have to prepare well for the birthday gift, An'er's previous birthday gift cost thousands of taels, don't slack off! ”
How could Wen Lan not see that this was the reason why Concubine Zhao had to find her even if she broke her leg in the morning, right? Calculating the time, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday in less than ten days, and everyone is full of energy to surprise the Queen Mother. If he can't get a decent birthday gift at that time, Zhu Changan will lose face and be a small matter, so he will have a "shabby" name, lose his reputation, and lose the help and blue eyes of people from all walks of life.
At this time, Zhu Changan's mother and son were afraid that they were desperate. They were poor from head to toe, and they had no money, so they could only pin all their hopes on the compensation of her, the culprit.
"Got it."
"Wenlan, Jiangnan is rich in products and has a lot of valuables and good things, what birthday gift do you want to choose? If you are too busy, the concubine is idle, and she can buy it for you. ”
"Not really. This afternoon, the crown princess asked a few princesses to visit Yangzhou, and I will go there at that time, and I will choose carefully. ”
"That's fine. Remember to keep it secret! "Concubine Zhao can't hide her disappointment." I heard that Special Envoy Kim has returned to North Korea this morning? ”
Zhu Changan found out a lot of news by being in charge of the southern tour. As soon as they heard that the North Korean envoy had returned to China this morning, the mother and son quickly got together and made all kinds of speculations:
The envoy suddenly returned to China, because of the position of Concubine Wenlan? Is it to disappoint the ministers? Is it to return to China for help? Is it the emperor's meaning, or is it the meaning of Vinland? Could there be any other reason? ……
Wen Lan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said in her heart that the mother and son knew everything about her, but she had been kept in the dark by their wolf hearts and dog lungs.
Thinking about it like this, Vinlan was even more depressed. Her heart turned, and she laughed.
"It's really going back. Isn't it a birthday gift? Niangniang, you keep saying that you need a few thousand taels of silver to prepare for a birthday gift, and I am afraid that the silver on my body is not enough, so I asked the envoy to find my father and queen mother to prepare some gold and silver and send it over. ”
Concubine Zhao's eyes lit up at once.
"Vinlan, it's not just a birthday gift, yesterday you also knocked over several bottles of fine gem powder, worth thousands of taels ......"
The corners of Vinlan's mouth twitched, did she want to pay for silver or gems? She simply interrupted Concubine Zhao.
"Isn't it just a gem? How much do you want? Am I still missing that thing? How much I have broken, I will pay you all when the time comes, and I don't need to remind you repeatedly! ”
Wen Lan looked annoyed, although Concubine Zhao was a little embarrassed, but for the sake of the gem, she still smiled brightly. She reassured her a few more words before leaving.
Wen Lan snorted, hooked her lips and sneered......
Concubine Zhao hit Cheng Ziyu again.
Although I don't know the progress of my son and Cheng Ziyu, I can rush to the previous investment; the Cheng family's property; Yesterday the son watched the woman lose his mind from time to time; and the Empress Dowager's attention to that woman...... She must think of subduing that Cheng Ziyu during this time.
Concubine Zhao didn't want to make a big fuss, and she knew that the woman was lonely, so after thinking about it, she decided to arrange for Wang Yue to do this......
Concubine Zhao made a small calculation again.
Those two are fellow countrymen, and they will definitely hit it off. Wang Yue will definitely be afraid of being crushed by Princess Wenlan in the future and be anxious to find an ally, so even if there is an estrangement between himself and Wang Yue, at this moment, Wang Yue will definitely let go of his prejudices and do his best to win over Cheng Ziyu......
Concubine Zhao couldn't help but feel secretly proud. In this way, he is effortless, and he has his own financial, manpower, and material resources Wang Yue to go to Zhang Luo, and he can get more than one stone......
Wang Yue did respond in one bite, and also told Cheng Ziyu of Concubine Zhao's little abacus word for word.
Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but sigh that the effect of this cooperation with Wang Yue was indeed good.
Wang Yue is already in the same boat as her, and it is almost an internal existence for her......
The two talked for a while, and Wang Yue thanked Cheng Ziyu again, but the latter smiled deeply.
"You're still behind when you thank me!"
Wang Yue was a little apprehensive about the emperor's words, but Cheng Ziyu's performance in the inevitable victory made her feel at ease......
The Queen Mother recruited Cheng Ziyu to accompany her for lunch, Cheng Ziyu went to the Queen Mother's courtyard an hour in advance, and when she was about fifty zhang away from the Queen Mother's courtyard, she met the fifth prince Zhu Changzhe who came from another road.
I have to say that the bloodline of the old Zhu family is good. Several princes have a good skin.
This fifth prince is finer and thinner than Zhu Changan. His eyebrows are slightly longer and slightly raised, which are typical willow eyes, which should be extremely suitable for a man's face. But because he doesn't like to laugh, his temperament is deep, and with the mean and thin lips inherited by the Zhu family, it feels a little gloomy.
But even so, it is undeniable that he is a beautiful man with good looks.
The fifth prince was not surprised to see her, and came with a little inquisition and curiosity, and bowed his head again.
Cheng Ziyu saluted him, but before he could take a step, he stopped him.
"Wait! Miss Cheng, is this going to say hello to the Queen Mother? ”
"Back to the words of the five princes, exactly."
"In the abrupt situation, can you ask Miss Cheng to take a step to speak?" He gestured to the tea pavilion not far away.
The fifth prince, Cheng Ziyu had almost no intersection with him in his previous life.
Compared with the self-confident and almost conceited prince, the prince who pretends to be hypocritical, the hypocrite Zhu Changan, and the real villain Seven Princes, the fifth prince is much more low-key and deep.
He doesn't seem to fight or grab on weekdays, but he can always make people shine at critical moments. It's like the disaster relief that made him beautiful not long ago......
But when he seems to show his claws and attract attention, he often shrinks back again, reduces his presence, and even makes people too lazy to make a move on him. Like a leopard, after a period of hibernation, he will suddenly attack again, catch people off guard, and then disappear from everyone's view again......
In fact, the Five Princes have been steadily rising. It's just that there are eye-catching princes and princes making trouble in front, and the rest of the princes are not so conspicuous.
Cheng Ziyu thought about it for a while, and probably guessed the possible intentions of the fifth prince at this moment.
He treats people coldly, but he takes the initiative to greet him, indicating that he intends to make friends.
Since he was not surprised to see him, it is very likely that he was waiting for him.
He behaved very politely, and his eyebrows and eyes showed kindness, so he was afraid that he either had a request, or had some plans or wanted to hear something......
She couldn't refuse, she didn't want to offend the prince, but she didn't want to get into trouble either.
The emperor had just tested her the day before yesterday, and yesterday she made a fuss because of Wenlan, if she met with the five princes alone today...... She is not afraid of making enemies, but she is afraid that her unpleasant behavior will affect her impression of the emperor and the queen mother.
"The fifth prince is polite, and there is no need to borrow a step. Ziyu came on the orders of the Queen Mother, and she really didn't dare to delay. If the five princes also want to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, it will be a stop. Seeing that the woman lowered her eyes and bowed, but she gave such an answer, the eyes of the five princes lit up a lot.
Last night, his staff was still discussing, speculating whether there were other forces behind this Cheng Ziyu, and whether there would be other masters to guide him, but it seemed that it might not be at the moment. This woman is not only smart, but also thoughtful.
He did not reject himself, and naturally he would not offend himself.
took the queen mother as a shield, and naturally he was not afraid of his ulterior motives.
said that he didn't dare to delay, so he was naturally not afraid of blocking him by himself.
After putting an end to all kinds of possibilities that could be detrimental to her, she threw the choice to him at this time......
To put it mildly, it is: get out or follow her!
Interesting!
No wonder several of his brothers are interested in fighting for this Miss Cheng Si, at this moment, it seems that it is worth it!
He didn't have much hope for this trip, and he didn't look down on this businesswoman who wandered among the nobles and seemed to be long-sleeved and good at dancing, but at this moment, he did have a lot of interest - the interest of wooing!
His staff came up with a lot of ideas for him, including the trick of discrediting her and manipulating her. To be honest, he wasn't interested in that kind of trick.
So this Cheng Ziyu, who is not a straw bag, gave him a surprise.
"This prince is going to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and he is indeed on the way." Zhu Changzhe took half a step ahead of Cheng Ziyu and walked with her in the direction of the Queen Mother's courtyard.
The two of them were followed by a large group of minions, walking calmly and calmly, naturally without fear of rumors.
He didn't walk fast, and tried to prolong the time of his conversation as naturally as possible.
As Cheng Ziyu expected, he asked about the assassination of Zhu Si that day.
That matter is over, and the murderer has not been caught to this day.
Several princes knew that the murderer must be one of them. But who it is, I can't figure out. But to say that the biggest beneficiary of this matter turned out to be the fourth child - he opened the mansion and will be crowned king.
This made several princes have to start wondering whether the incident would be the old four thieves shouting to catch the thief, whether it was a bitter ploy, and they even began to wonder if this incident had happened.
"Yes! The four princes were indeed hunted down! The crowd was so loud that they slaughtered all the way to my doorstep! ......" Cheng Ziyu was extremely reluctant to recall the incident, and picked out the key points and told the five princes......
