Chapter 124: Can't afford to lose
The praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, and he is talking about the king of Zhennan, and the king of Xiang persuaded the emperor to reduce the punishment on the grounds that the three thousand soldiers and horses are not enough, and he can use this to persuade the emperor to take the three thousand soldiers and horses for himself, otherwise how could those civil and military ministers so easily agree that the soldiers and horses will be in charge of Yue'er?
King Xiang looked at the king of Zhennan, his face that had just calmed down sank again, and the hand under the official robe creaked, but it was not good to speak out against it, so he used the corner of his eye to give the rest of the ministers a look, the three thousand soldiers and horses he spent his hard work, not only did he not make achievements but also punished himself for three years, but in the end he made a wedding dress for others, how did he swallow this suffocation?
Those ministers all drooped their heads, pretending not to see and not understand the eyes of the king of Yuejun, before the king of Yuejun intended to take the three thousand soldiers and horses as his own, they could oppose it on the grounds that the king of Yuejun acted obediently, but now it is the king of Zhennan who wants soldiers and horses for the king of Yuejun, what does this mean, it shows that the king of Zhennan will vouch for the king of Yuejun, if something happens to the three thousand soldiers and horses of the king of Yuejun, the emperor can punish him the king of Zhennan, and a few of them can help the king of Xiang to intercede, but if they want to fight the king of Zhennan, they don't have the guts, in case they anger the king of Zhennan, The end will not be better than provoking the king of Yuejun, if you want to say that among the two, who would they rather provoke, or the king of Yuejun, after all, he is on the surface, beating you is beating you, but the king of Zhennan is ruthless, it will make you worse than dead, and even regret that he once had the idea of harming him, if it weren't for the king of Zhennan who is so protective and spoiled the king of Yuejun, wouldn't the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty kneel to the emperor to take back the holy decree of the king of Yuejun? I really don't dare, that is the king of Zhennan who helped the king of Yuejun to force the emperor to speak and have a letter!
The prime minister had no position to admonish, the ministers did not dare, and there was only one queen mother left, the queen mother was over fifty years old, but the maintenance was excellent, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes could not be seen, the head wore a phoenix crown, and the nine-tailed phoenix shook lightly with the breathing. Those deep phoenix eyes couldn't see the bottom, and they were very dignified, so I saw her hook her lips and smile, and glanced at the eyes of King Zhennan. "Three thousand soldiers and horses, the king of Xiang is suspected of rebellion, the emperor has punished him for three years, the king of Yuejun even dares to contradict the emperor, dare to occupy the gold medal to avoid death to rob the palace treasury, if one day, the emperor has something to disobey his wishes, he led three thousand soldiers and horses to force the palace, what should I do?"
The solemn face of King Zhennan remained unchanged. Looking at Emperor Wenyuan, he said, "If Yue'er really leads these 3,000 soldiers and horses to force the palace, this king will not sit in the position of the king of Zhennan!" ”
King Xiang sneered, "Once the king of Yuejun forces the palace, how can the king of Zhennan take the throne in his eyes." At that time, you were already the emperor! ”
King Zhennan glanced at King Xiang, looked at the emperor, what flickered in his eyes, Emperor Wenyuan took a leisurely sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "I remember that Yue'er is also a general. It is not impossible to hand over 3,000 soldiers and horses to him, but he has too many bad deeds to convince the people, if he can train an invincible army for me within half a year, 3,000 soldiers and horses will be under his command! ”
Emperor Wenyuan is outside of this. gave enough face to both sides, King Yuejun has too many bad deeds, but if it gets better, he will reuse it, if it is still the same. Then the king of Zhennan don't blame him for not giving him face, this proposal, King Xiang is still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he is okay, but there is one condition, "King Zhennan's ability to command troops to fight is appreciated by the court, if he helps King Yuejun train soldiers and horses in private, what should he do?" ”
Emperor Wenyuan squinted his eyes and looked at King Zhennan, who rolled his eyes, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send a credible person to supervise it, and the minister won't say anything." ”
Emperor Wenyuan wanted this answer, and King Xiang had nothing to say, but the Queen Mother, her eyes were slightly condensed, the emperor's attitude towards King Yuejun was a little too good, and he kept calling Yue'er, even if it was the deceased prince, all the princes, I had never seen him call so intimately, if it wasn't for the fact that King Yuejun was not from the deceased queen, she would have suspected that King Yuejun was a dragon.
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Wenyuan, her eyes moved slightly, and she said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the government is busy, although there are many ministers to help solve problems, so many twists and turns have to be seen by the emperor one by one, but there are several princes, who have nothing to do, as a son of man, it is his duty to share his father's worries, if the prince is still alive, the emperor does not have to work so hard." ”
The Queen Mother was worried about the emperor's dragon body, but those ministers heard the taste of the prince, and immediately asked Emperor Wenyuan to establish the prince as soon as possible, Emperor Wenyuan frowned, the queen mother's hand has been stretched farther and farther over the years, King Xiang dares to be so presumptuous, can she not know?
Emperor Wenyuan didn't plan to establish a prince, so he didn't say anything about serving tea, and outside, the little father-in-law came in and said, "Your Majesty, King Yuejun has taken a fancy to a few pots of flowers in the imperial garden, and asked the servants to ask the emperor if he can reward him." ”
Emperor Wen Yuan coughed lightly, glanced at King Zhennan, and said suspiciously, "When did he like those flowers and plants?" ”
The king of Zhennan still wondered, the princess loves flowers, and reminded him several times in front of him, so that he had the opportunity to help her bring two pots back from the imperial garden, and he didn't see him ask the emperor for it, this time he went to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to propose, the princess was sick, he went to propose, although he couldn't talk about being angry, but he wouldn't please the princess, please this thing, Yue'er can't do it when she is young, except for ...... Treat the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
The king of Yuejun just asked Emperor Wenyuan for two pots of flowers, and politely sent his father-in-law to ask for it, Emperor Wenyuan still felt flattered, how could he disagree, as soon as he waved his hand, the little father-in-law withdrew, and continued to discuss political affairs in the imperial study.
Besides, in the imperial garden, Ye Guiyue walked among them with a jade fan, and the cold wind pointed to all kinds of precious flowers to show him, "Master, this pot looks good, it must be tangible, and fragrant and pleasant, the princess of the county will definitely like it." ”
"There is also this basin of scratching the face of the beauty, the shape is unique, the princess of the county absolutely likes it, and this basin ......."
In addition to the elegant camellia, it is a peony, the peony is graceful and luxurious, the best in the world, loved by everyone's ladies, of course, Zhiwan is no exception, they have not forgotten, Zhiwan is wearing a peony, scaring the king of Yuejun to turn around and run, and these peonies are indeed very beautiful, dizzying, I don't know which pot to pick, Ye Guiyue frowned, "Go and find the father-in-law who is in charge of the flowers and plants in the imperial garden, pick ten kinds of each flower, and send them out of the palace overnight." ”
The cold wind plopped, and his legs fell to the ground weakly, ten ...... Ten pots? The royal garden has a complete variety of flowers and plants, no less than 100 kinds, ten pots of each, is the master planning to fill the sandalwood courtyard of the princess of the county, besides, some flowers are too precious, even the palace, there may not be a few pots. He also thought that the master only needed to pick a few pots and give them to the princess of the county to enjoy, who knows......
When the father-in-law heard Yuejun Wang Yun say lightly that there were ten pots of each flower, he was already shocked and speechless, and he knew that Yuejun Wang was not an ordinary person. There are also a lot of flowers in Zhennan Wangfu, and he will not come to the palace to ask the emperor for a few pots of flowers, and only a few pots, is this his few pots, but the emperor agreed, what kind of flowers he loves, he chooses, does he want to tell the emperor to know, after the king of Yuejun picks a few pots of flowers, the imperial garden will be gone.
My father-in-law didn't have the guts to do that. Instead, he went to find the chief manager who was serving the flowers and plants, and the chief manager came crying, and knelt down first as soon as he came, "Lord Jun, you should be a poor slave." You take hundreds of pots of flowers, and the minions will help you pick them, ten pots of each, this is the life of the minions......! ”
Ye Guiyue didn't have the patience to pick flowers, so he walked all the way forward, casually pointing to fifteen or sixteen pots of flowers, "These are all for you." ”
The father-in-law in charge was sweating on his forehead when he heard this. "Lord Jun, these flowers are carefully taken care of by the slaves, this pot of orchids is the Queen Mother's favorite, every time the Queen Mother visits the Imperial Garden, she will appreciate it, and this pot of eighteen bachelors. It is the queen's favorite ....... ”
The father-in-law poured beans for a while, and after speaking, he saw Ye Guiyue looking at those flowers, his brows furrowed slightly, and he thought that he had persuaded him. Thinking about going to ask for rewards for a while, I listened to Ye Guiyue say, "Do you have an owner for these flowers?" ”
The father-in-law in charge stiffened his face, as if he had been choked by someone, and it took him half a day to pop out two words, "No, no." ”
Ye Guiyue glanced at him coldly, the father-in-law in charge was cold all over his body, and he couldn't help but tremble, knelt down and begged for mercy, "The slave should die, the slave is guilty...... ”
The father-in-law begged for mercy while slapping himself, Ye Guiyue was impatient with the applause, walked away, and said with a frown in the cold wind, "Okay, get up, you don't need to pick ten pots of each flower, just two pots, but you want the best and most beautiful, fool the prince of the county, and you know the consequences." ”
The father-in-law of the chief manager nodded busily, for fear that he would be a step too late, and he would be thrown into the lake by the cold wind to cool off, such a thing is very common in the palace, fortunately his life is big, the father-in-law of the chief manager wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, there is a feeling of slipping around from the ghost gate, just now the soul possessed the body, he really took the wrong medicine, these words are what the queen mother likes, about his, he actually touched his head, in order to please the invitation to pull the leg of the king of the county, it is too fateful, move it, move it, the imperial garden is empty, and the internal affairs office will allocate money for him to buy, That's the oil and water, thinking like this, the father-in-law's heart calmed down, and he even couldn't wait.
In the sandalwood courtyard, Zhiwan embroidered needlework, Poria went out to inquire about the news, came back and told Zhiwan, talking about the impeachment of Zhennan Wangfu for violating the etiquette system, not only was he punished, but when the Zhennan King also asked for 3,000 soldiers for the king of Yuejun, the corners of Zhiwan's mouth were almost speechless, she was not worried about the Zhennan Wangfu being punished, what kind of person is the king of Zhennan, will he not know that it is against the etiquette system to do this, since he dares to send it, he is not afraid of impeachment, but when so many ministers are impeached, he can still resist the pressure to help Ye Guiyue to ask for military power, Zhiwan has nothing to say to the king of Zhennan, In addition to worship or worship, it is like this for the king!
Poria's heart is finally settled, fortunately, those dowries don't have to be returned, she is really worried that the king of Zhennan is deliberately sending so much first, and when the courtiers impeach, he will take it back, which not only expresses his respect for the girl, but also perfunctory the prince of the county, the palace does not have to lose too much, the face is there, the more Poria thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, those daughters-in-law in the house, like nonsense the most, who is the king of Zhennan, will he do such an insidious thing, jealous of the girl's dowry, you can say it bluntly, you can't do it, Poria can't wait to go to the waist and scold.
Since the impeachment of the king of Zhennan, the rumors in the house have overflowed, after all, this gift is too heavy, not to mention the Hou Mansion, even the prince's mansion can't afford it, although the Zhennan Wangfu is rich, but I heard that the princess is sick, it is because the king of Yuejun wants to give too many dowry gifts, she is not happy with this family business, so she does not come to propose, these rare treasures are not sent, send them back and then return them, that is to take a knife and then gouge her careful liver, even if those things are not hers, Poria is not reconciled, fortunately, now the heart is stable, The status of Zhennan Wangfu in her heart rose gradually, directly over the Hou Mansion, over the Sandalwood Courtyard, and I didn't know that Wan Ming'er was married, and became the personal maid of the indispensable Princess of Yuejun in Zhennan Wangfu, thinking about it, I feel that the image is tall and mighty.
The more Poria thought about it, the happier she became, the corners of her mouth couldn't close, Zhiwan glanced at her, and said angrily, "Le's saliva is dripping, what's the matter, have you found Ruyi Langjun?" ”
Hearing Zhiwan drooling, Poria hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth, but there was nothing. Hearing that the evening said Ruyi Langjun, Poria blushed shyly, stomped her feet and said, "The slave is happy to find Ruyi Langjun for the girl." How the girl joked that the slave maid was coming! ”
Zhiwan put down the embroidery basket, looked at Poria cocos, and asked Bai Shao, "Do you look at her appearance for me?" ”
Bai Shao shook her head, "The slave didn't see it, Poria Cocos, what are you happy about, the smile is so scary." ”
Poria blushed and purple, she wanted to slip away, but she couldn't, Poria pouted. "There's no fun, in the house, the slave maid is just the girl's maid, and she is bullied everywhere she goes, and she looks back and waits for the girl to become the princess of the county. The slave maid is the princess of the county's personal maid, who dares to underestimate us? ”
Zhiwan shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Not only do you not dare to underestimate it, but you will also stuff a purse into your hand, and collect money and receive soft joy?" ”
Poria's face changed, and she poked her neck to look out of the bead curtain. Seeing that Yao's mother was not there, she held her mouth and said, "The slave doesn't dare to accept bribes from others, and if you want your mother to know, you have to peel me off two layers of skin." ”
Zhiwan saw that she was wronged like that, and knew that she was timid. Don't make fun of her, Yao's mother is still very strict with Poria cocos, the first one is to take other people's hands short and eat other people's mouths, unless it is a reward. In private, if anyone is stuffed with a purse, if she dares to accept it, it is not a trivial matter, a light beating palm, a heavy punishment of kneeling, if you dare to collect other people's money and harm to know that it is late, it is to chop your hands, and you can't eat other people's food, in the words of Yao's mother, except for the maids and mother-in-law in the Sandalwood Courtyard, they usually play together, and eating some melon seeds and snacks is nothing, but outside the Sandalwood Courtyard, if she dares to eat, she has to spit it out, and several girls and aunts in the house treat the girl with no sincerity, and those maids can't be guilty of trying to win her over, unless they have ulterior motives, also told Poria which yard maid ate the dim sum sent by whom, and finally hung up, the scared Poria cocos has a shadow on the dim sum sent to outsiders, plus, Yao's mother is also a good hand at making dim sum, what does she want to eat, run to talk to Yao's mother at night, cry bitterly, Ming'er has it, and she can't eat other people's.
Yao's mother treats Poria cocos like this, Bai Peony and Poria cocos grew up together, and she can be regarded as half of Yao's mother's daughter, and she is also deeply influenced by Yao's mother, and she doesn't dare to take other people's food, even if she accepts it, she has to tell her to know, so the loyalty of these two people, Yao's mother is at ease, and she is also relieved to know the night.
After laughing and laughing in the room for a while, he yawned late in the evening, washed up, and fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
The next day, before dawn, Zhiwan was woken up in a burst of screams, and thought that the sandalwood courtyard was on fire, and he got out of bed after lifting the quilt, and he couldn't even wear shoes, so he was about to go out, and he happened to see Bai Shao come in, so he frowned and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
Bai Shao didn't know how to say it, so she opened the window and pointed out the window to Zhiwan, "Girl, look, after a night, the yard is full of flowers." ”
As soon as the window opened, a burst of mixed fragrance came to the nostrils, Zhiwan was stunned, and the lazy state of not sleeping was swept away, and he couldn't wait to step out of the door, looking at those flowers, eighteen bachelors, seven fairies...... The rare flowers that I had only seen on the Internet in my previous life were piled up in front of me, and a warm current passed through the bottom of Zhiwan's heart, and the bottom of my heart was as sweet as honey, and the smile at the corner of my mouth couldn't be hidden, and a bright light popped up at the bottom of my eyes.
Poria carefully touched the peony flowers, glanced at Zhiwan, pouted and said, "The slave said that as long as the girl spoke, the prince of the county would do it for the girl, and the girl also blamed the slave and the maid for talking nonsense, and the slave and maid didn't tell the secret guard, and the prince of the county let people send so many flowers. ”
Zhiwan glared at Poria with disgust, didn't say anything, wandered around the yard, only to enjoy more than 20 pots of flowers, the gate of the sandalwood courtyard was crowded with lively maids, envious looking at the flower pile Zhiwan, did not dare to step in, these flowers were sent by the king of Yuejun, if you accidentally rub a little, the little life is over, the four girls are really happy, there is a baby of the Hou Ye in the Hou Mansion, before she is married, the king of Yuejun spoiled the girl, they were unwilling to be the maids in the courtyard of the four girls, and felt that there was no future, But at this moment, these maids looked at the little maids in the sandalwood courtyard, and their hearts bubbled.
Overnight, the huge courtyard was full of flowers, a gust of wind blew all over the Hou Mansion, Qin Zhiyu and Qin Zhishu rushed over when they heard the news, no matter what the maid said, they didn't believe it, thinking that the maid was exaggerating, more than a dozen pots of flowers, and it could also fill the sandalwood courtyard, but when I saw it with my own eyes, the embroidered handkerchief in Qin Zhiyu's hand was twisted into shape, Qin Zhiyan's teeth were clenched tightly, Qin Zhirou was also biting her lip, her jealous and delicate face was distorted, she was also a concubine, why was she spoiled like this? !
It is the nature of the daughter's family to love beauty, ninety-nine out of a hundred can't stand the temptation of flowers, these are all rare flowers, most of them have never heard of them, even if there are one or two pots, you can invite your lady to the next post, everyone is beautiful to enjoy, let alone so much, Qin Zhixue pouted and said, "King Yue Jun won't rob the imperial garden again, these flowers are too rare and rare, even if they are Zhennan Wangfu, not to mention that there are so many, you say, these flowers are also a dowry, the fourth sister got married in less than a month, You won't invite hundreds of little people to enter the Zhennan Mansion with flower pots, right? ”
As soon as Qin Zhiwan's eyes moved, the jealousy on her face difused for three points, and she lifted the hem of her skirt to enter the courtyard, but as soon as her footsteps were raised, she heard Zhiwan stretch out her hand and shouted, "Don't move!" ”
Qin Zhiyu froze her steps, looked at her angrily, and before she could speak, she heard Zhiwan say angrily, "It's too much!" Knowing that I was going to get married in a month, and sending so many flowers to ask me to help take care of them, I wanted to tire me to death, Poria Cocos, you go to Hou Ye, call a few more little guys, and send these words to me, in case I kill one or two pots roughly, I can't afford to pay for it. ”
Poria, "......." ”
Poria was dumbfounded, scratching the back of her head, what's wrong with the girl, it's okay, humming happily, how to turn her face and scold the county prince for going too far, this is too much, okay, it's a bit too much, leaving the road so narrow, if she doesn't go carelessly, she can break the flowers, but this is all the county prince's heart, it's strange that the sandalwood courtyard is too small, you can't ask the secret guard to move the flowers to the girl's boudoir, it's even worse to send the roof, you have to climb the roof to appreciate the flowers, how dangerous it is!
Qin Zhiyu retracted her feet, looked at Poria Cocos cautiously turned sideways, stood on tiptoe, crossed the corridor and walked to the gate of the courtyard, after saluting, and then went out next to the courtyard gate, Qin Zhiyu was angry, and she was a little unsure whether what she said was true or false, so she heard Qin Zhirou ask, "What does the fourth sister mean by this, King Yuejun sent these flowers to her to help prune, not to her?" ”
Qin Zhishu hooked her lips and sneered, "I don't see it, whoever wants to give me so many flowers, it's too late for me to be happy, who will push it out in a hurry, it's a shame that the maid yelled early in the morning, and it wasn't really given to her, what's there to see, I'd better go back to sleep." ”
Qin Zhixin looked at those words, his eyes were reluctant, but he didn't feel comfortable in his heart, so he also went back, not his own, he had seen too much pantothenic acid in his heart, it was better not to read it!
Seeing that they all turned around, Zhiwan breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was sweet and annoyed, can't he not be so ostentatious when he does things, everyone who has to make trouble knows it, there are so many flowers, the sandalwood courtyard can't go back and forth, and there are not so many people to take care of it, I don't understand that I am giving them an excuse to help take care of them, can I come back again?
Poria was very neat, she asked for twenty servants from Manager Qin, and carefully moved the flowers out of the house, only to move it once, and a maid came to ask for advice, "Fourth girl, the old lady is looking for you to talk." ”
When the maid came, Zhiwan was eating breakfast, and she took a deep breath when she heard the words, and a little thing alarmed her, I don't know what to say this time, Zhiwan was a little hungry, plus she only ate two chopsticks, and she didn't care about the maid, and she ate quickly, and the maid stood aside and was stunned, and the four girls looked at the soft and weak, hungry like a starving ghost reincarnated, Poria stood aside, and covered her face, and didn't stop it, what did she block, the maid saw it, and the maid was really good, and she wouldn't pick the time. Sandalwood Courtyard is far away from Rosin Courtyard, and it will take a quarter of an hour to walk, plus the delay in speaking, it will be at least half an hour later to come back, and it is absolutely impossible to make the girl hungry.
