Chapter 449: Coercion and Inducement
The emperor's suspicion is severe, and Li Chun's heart cannot be expressed no matter how happy he is.
From no desire and no desire, to slight disgust, and finally half pushed, half ...... He handled the process very well.
got cheap and behaved, he was so reluctant and so wronged, the emperor naturally owed him a favor.
The iron should be struck while it is hot, so Li Chun added a condition easily. The emperor felt guilty in his heart, and not only would he agree, but he would also think of ways to compensate him from other aspects.
He didn't plan to take a concubine early on, so with the emperor's promise, he didn't have to worry about those flowers and plants. In the future, he will only spoil her, and no one can control her, including the emperor.
He also thought about Cheng Ziyu. She is too young to rush to get pregnant, so she doesn't have to bear the pressure of childbirth.
Let's take it slowly, and after the future is stable, he will follow her back to the Cheng family......
When Li Chun withdrew from the emperor, he knew that Zhu Changan was already waiting outside.
He couldn't help but snort.
Knowing that Zhu Changan wanted to fulfill the promise he had received before, the emperor didn't plan to let Zhu Changan enter the door at all. But Zhu Changan was very persistent and still waited outside.
Li Chun was too lazy to talk nonsense and left through the back door. However, Father-in-law Yu, who went out to run errands, was blocked by Zhu Changan.
"The fourth prince, the emperor is resting, and no one is gone."
Zhu Changan took a heavy purse and handed it out for guidance.
confiscated by his father-in-law.
"Our family is just a slave, the master's mind is like the vast stars, unreachable, how dare our family speculate at will?"
"Then I just ask, has the emperor not yet made up his mind, or has he already decided on a candidate?"
"The four princes rest assured, the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, and the emperor has always been fair in dealing with people and things, and he will treat everyone equally. It's yours, it's yours after all, it's not yours, it's useless for you to ask for it, right? ”
Father-in-law Yu shook off the dust with a smile, swaggered around Zhu Changan and walked out. In fact, he is telling the truth, isn't he treating everyone equally? Not a single prince can get it! ……
However, in Zhu Changan's view, this is obviously prevarication.
"Old youkai!" He cursed secretly at the back of his father-in-law.
Dogs fighting human power, all kinds of oil and slippery in the end is not a different place?
In an instant, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Changan's mind.
He chuckled.
"Father-in-law Yu, I heard a joke a few days ago, saying that you are obsessed with incense...... Fragrant...... What is the incense......"
Judging from the figure on the ground, Yu Gonggong's footsteps when he walked out suddenly slowed down, and there was a play.
"Where did the nonsense come from, the fourth prince spoke cautiously!"
"What is Father-in-law Yu anxious about? Human nature, there is nothing to be ashamed of! ”
Finally, Father-in-law Yu, who walked out a few feet away, convulsed a white old face and returned to him.
"What do the four princes want to say?" He didn't forget to quietly watch left and right.
"Muskmelon. Say you're obsessed with melons. Inside and outside the palace, they are inseparable. But really? My father doesn't know about this, does he? You say that if he knew, he would reward you with a melon? Or are you angry because you're hiding it from him? ”
Zhu Changan just remembered that after the emperor was seriously ill in his previous life, when his father-in-law was pulled down from power and liquidated, he was involved in some of the old sesame rotten grains, which were unsightly but fatal enough.
He just tried it, but he didn't want to, and he really deceived Father-in-law Yu back. It turned out that it was not groundless.
Zhu Changxin smiled at the bottom of his heart, and before he knew it, he actually pinched Yu's father-in-law. With this handle, he can at least get twice the result with half the effort in front of the emperor.
And even if Yu's father-in-law checks it, he can't check it. After all, it is thousands of miles away, and he has to eat this loss if he doesn't eat it.
"I don't know where the news of the four princes came from, it's really nonsense. Everything is about evidence, if you want to frame the old slave......"
"Father-in-law Yu, do you believe in this case? Is the evidence really that important? There is a sentence that you have heard? What's more, there is also a saying called nonsense. There are some things, as long as the slightest leak is enough to destroy people.
You are in a high position, and I know this better than I do. Some things have some words, because they are unseemly, so whether they are nonsense or chiseled words, they are all in the line! ”
Zhu Changan raised his eyes to the sky with his hands behind his back, and his aura was fully open.
"Besides, how do you know I have no evidence?"
At this moment, Father-in-law Yu was a little frightened.
He didn't know when this inconspicuous fourth prince had stood up? How could he never have noticed this terrifying aura before?
The fourth prince dared to interrupt himself to speak, it seems that he has a great grasp and confidence? How much does he know? But how did he know about such a secret private matter? Listening to his intimidation, I'm afraid I know a lot. Does he really have proof? Is there something wrong with Kyori? ……
Yu Gonggong's heart rose up and down.
"See that cloud overhead? Smoked by the sweetness of this autumn day, people almost thought it was a fragrant cloud! ”
Zhu Changan's smile was a little cold and vicious.
For a while, Yu's father-in-law's head was sweating urgently. Xiangyun, he really knows about Xiangyun. He also mentioned "inside and outside the palace" just now, and he knew so much.
"What do the four princes want?" Yu Gonggong couldn't wipe his sweat, and his knees were weak.
"Father-in-law Yu don't panic, people always have a heart, it's nothing. I'm a person, I do things a little roughly, and my mouth is a little fast......"
"Just say it."
"Isn't it me who the emperor chose for the husband of Jinxi County?"
"Yes!"
"Then I will bother my father-in-law and let the saint change his mind. I want to marry Cheng Ziyu! ”
Father-in-law Yu shook his head.
"The four princes look down on the old slave. The old slave is also a slave after all, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he has always asked others to change their minds, how could he have changed his mind after listening to the words of the slave? It's not that the old slave doesn't want to help, it's that he can't do anything. ”
"Well, don't blame me for being rude."
Father-in-law Yu swallowed his saliva and considered:
"Tonight's night outing, there will be a competition. If the four princes can come out on top, they can ask to marry the county lord when they get grace. ”
"Excellent! Let's go into details. ”
"I don't know the specific old slave, the emperor found someone else to do it. If the four princes are interested, it is better to work elsewhere. ”
"So...... Thank you to my father-in-law! Zhu Changan smiled and put the purse he had prepared back into his pocket. With good luck, the white wolf was empty. "Next time I'm free, I'll invite my father-in-law to tea!"
This time, it was Zhu Changan who left with his sleeves brushed up.
Father-in-law Yu stomped his feet angrily on the spot.
What could he do? Zhu Changan actually knew about Xiangyun, that was a capital crime! Absolute capital offense! A great sin against the family! He can't afford to gamble! But betraying the emperor is also a capital crime, so all he can do is this.
This fourth prince, how should he deal with it? ……
When the imperial doctor arrived, Cheng Ziyu was at the Queen Mother's place.
The queen mother knew that it was impossible for the emperor to fight for Cheng Ziyu anymore, so she was happy and asked Cheng Ziyu if she had a suitable candidate, saying that if there was a suitable one, she might be able to help one or two.
Subsequently, the imperial doctor arrived, saying that he had been ordered by the emperor to ask the county lord for peace.
Seeing that the imperial doctor prescribed several prescriptions, Cheng Ziyu was startled.
It's all about conditioning and nourishing.
The imperial doctor laughed and said that these recipes would be ready and sent to her, so that she could only use them and not worry about anything else.
The Queen Mother took the recipe in her hand and looked at it, and laughed. "Imperial Doctor Shen is right, these are all good prescriptions, you can use them with confidence. Even after using it for a month, you can see the effect, and when the time comes, you will be refreshed from your complexion to your body. ”
Cheng Ziyu blushed and quickly changed the topic.
"Imperial Doctor Shen, how is my grandfather's health?"
"It's no big problem, the old man is healthy, there are no symptoms, take good care of it, and he will be able to live a long life."
So from this point of view, the old man's illness in the previous life was indeed strange, and someone must have done something wrong. At this moment, she didn't know whether to be sad or happy......
Cheng Ziyu went back to her house to get the news from Li Chun. A huge surprise, so that her worried heart finally let go.
He did it! ……
And Zhu Changan went to the emperor's place, and the queen started from the other side.
Before Cheng Ziyu could ask Liu Er to go to Li Chun to spread the word, a palace maid came outside to report, saying that the queen had been invited.
The intentions are obvious.
Cheng Ziyu can't help but go, she can't show her feet until the dust settles on the night tour tonight, she can only go hard.
The queen personally greeted Cheng Ziyu at the door of the residence, pulled her into the house, and then sent all the people in the room down, leaving only one princess.
"Bengong will get straight to the point and say that I am looking for you two things." She didn't beat around the bush at all. "First, the crown princess has had some friction with you several times, and the palace understands it, it's her fault, the palace will compensate you first, Wanqing, and the county lord will quickly compensate."
The crown princess responded and quickly came up to apologize and salute, where did Cheng Ziyu dare to accept it, she could only return the salute.
"If only my sister would forgive my sister. The past is indeed my sister's ungenerousness, and my sister is already very uneasy in her heart. Yesterday, my sister was reckless, and my sister apologized to you. In order to vent your anger for your sister, my sister has been sent back to Beijing. Sister, don't be separated from your sister for these little things. ”
The "sister and sister" of the princess, who smiled gently and generously, made Cheng Ziyu get goosebumps all over her body. Xiao handed over a treasure box, "This is my sister's gift to my sister." In addition, congratulations to my sister for being named the county lord. ”
Congratulatory gifts can not be accepted, but apologies cannot be withheld. In front of the superiors, Cheng Ziyu naturally understands the truth of current affairs.
The queen was very satisfied, and personally handed over a portrait.
"Look!"
Cheng Ziyu opened, a beautiful man with a jade crown, red lips and white teeth, and an extraordinary appearance. Isn't this the most elegant prince among all the princes?
"This is a portrait of the crown prince, what do you think?" The queen is straightforward.
"Yushu is in the wind, gentle and elegant."
The crown prince was created by the empress according to the perfect "benevolent" appearance in the book, although such a prince is not necessarily the emperor's favorite, but the ministers' favorite. After all, it's easy to handle.
When the queen asked this, her intentions were revealed.
"Exactly. Hongu said it bluntly. Hongu thought about it from your standpoint, and you can listen to it.
In terms of temperament and conduct, the crown prince is definitely the most gentle and polite of so many princes. The prince's back house is also stable, and there are many fewer pickles than others. There is no need to worry about living a life, and there is a group of good sisters to talk and laugh. Women, have lived in the back house all their lives, and having a stable and peaceful back house is the most important.
From the future, you also understand. My son is already the crown prince, the prince of the country, the only concubine of the emperor, and there are a large number of supporters in the court. Even if there are those who do not give up, it is the general trend for the prince to ascend to the throne. Needless to say, you're smart enough to understand. Choosing the crown prince is also the wisest for your family.
In the end, if you choose someone else, it's hard to see what the future will be. You don't think about yourself, you have to do it for your Cheng family, don't you? And in the future, after the prince ascends to Qingyun, you will be protected by the identity of the civil county lord, and you will deserve a high position. ”
"So the second thing the queen mother did was to persuade Jinxi to choose the crown prince?"
"Yes! Hongu does not beat around the bush either. Although the crown prince did not participate in the southern tour this time, the palace can make full decisions about his affairs. The crown princess is also here, and the two of us can represent him. This palace thinks that you should choose the crown prince.
Although the crown prince has married a wife, the crown princess is generous, and the two of you will definitely live in peace. And this palace can allow you to be a good person. After ascending in the future, this palace will protect you as one of the four concubines. ”
It's really magnanimous.
One of the four concubines, what a temptation.
"You have the status of a civil county lord as a guarantor, and you can get more than others. You can live in safety, no matter how powerful the palace fight is, the water can't reach you. You represent the people, the prince will definitely cherish and love you, and your life will definitely be better.
This palace can also ensure that you have children safely, and the crown prince and princess will also fully cooperate, after all, you represent the people, and your heirs can better accumulate royal prestige, right? ”
In fact, the queen is indeed very frank and pragmatic, and even Cheng Ziyu has planned in an all-round way for decades after marrying the prince. The picture scroll is also well depicted, at least it removes almost all of her worries.
The queen really thinks long-term, and Cheng Ziyu hasn't taken these things into account yet.
The merchant girl is a concubine, and she will never become a threat, and the queen princess can use it at ease, and she can also generously allow her to have children. After all, that kid can't inherit the unification even if he turns the sky upside down. Therefore, the credibility of what the queen said should not be low......
Of course, there is a premise for all this to be realized, and the queen did not say it, that is, to ensure that the crown prince can ascend to the throne.
Can...... Can you? There was no in the previous life, but everything has changed in this life, and Cheng Ziyu is not sure.
"So, dare to ask Niangniang, what can Jinxi do?"
"Refreshing! This palace only needs you to express your heart to the Queen Mother, and then ask the Queen Mother to help you say goodbye. The Queen Mother loves you so much, if you open your mouth, she will definitely not refuse. In this way, you and I will be a family in the future. Hongu will take good care of you.
In order to ensure sincerity, this palace can help you sell Cheng Jiatao. The emperor can only promise you to make the pottery in the court and the palace for the Cheng family, but the palace can help you let the noblewomen in the entire capital use your family's ceramics.
After returning to Beijing, the palace will hold a banquet for you, invite those celebrities and ladies who can speak at home, preside over the feeding and housekeeping in the house, and introduce you to them, you know what this means, right? This means that it is very likely that overnight, the Cheng family will complete the accumulation that may take decades or even hundreds of years! The Cheng family will reach unprecedented heights in your hands! How is it? ……”
Seductive! It's tempting! Cheng Ziyu said that she was a little excited.
……
