Chapter 576: Unscrupulous Hawkers
"Gong ...... See the princess...... "The two maidservants quickly knelt down.
Wen Ling looked at the two maidservants, one looked younger, the other was older, and what Fang just said was still coming out of the mouth of the older palace maid.
"Fangcai, what are you talking about?" Wen Ling asked with a wink.
The tone is soft, but not the slightest fierce.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing......" The younger palace maid seemed to be frightened by another palace person, and quickly shook her head.
"But what's going on in this palace?" Wen Ling paused, "Don't worry, Bengong won't say it, Bengong is just curious." ”
Wen Ling said, his gaze moved to the older palace maid.
The palace maid was slightly nervous, and her voice trembled a little, "Princess, there is really nothing wrong, you ...... Don't force the slave, the slave can't say ......"
What he said was simply to cover up and attract people.
As usual, if others say this, curiosity should become stronger and stronger, but Wen Ling doesn't.
Only after hesitating for a moment did he say, "Really...... Get up......"
didn't ask too much, Wen Ling turned around to leave.
The palace maid's face was stunned.
What?
That's it?
Don't ask!
Hey, I deliberately performed so eye-catching, your old man said that he wouldn't ask if he didn't ask, he turned around and left, which didn't give face!
The palace maid was a little anxious, but Wen Ling said that she would leave, and her steps were not too late.
The palace maid has a task on her body, glared at the little palace maid on the side fiercely, gritted her teeth and hurriedly said, "Slave maid, slave maid doesn't want to hide the princess, but this matter is very unfavorable to the princess, His Royal Highness ordered that no one is allowed to leak the news, otherwise he will be killed, and please have mercy on the princess." ”
Wen Ling stopped, turned his head sideways to look at the palace maid, and did not speak.
But the clear eyes had already cast a curious look.
The palace maid tightened her hand, "This morning, there was a white girl in Xiu'an Palace, who was already three months pregnant, and she was Your Highness. His Royal Highness has been preparing to give his concubine position, but now it is a critical juncture for the prince of Qi to come to Jin, and His Royal Highness ordered the slaves and maids to keep their mouths shut and not to reveal the slightest news to the ears of Princess Chang'an and the prince of Qi. ”
After speaking, there was already a layer of sweat on the head of the big palace maid.
Their purpose was to leak the news to the envoys.
Now that I said it, if this princess was angry with His Highness, then she would be the first to be punished by His Highness. But if the news can't get out, then she will also be punished, and it's not just as simple as dying.
Wen Ling raised his eyes slightly, but there was no wave in his eyes, "Someone, pregnant with His Highness's child?" ”
“…… Be. The palace maid nodded heavily.
Wen Ling looked at the palace maid's nervous appearance, and suddenly thought of what happened to the palace maid named Broken Jade last time. Kang Yi has been in charge of the harem for many years, although it seems that there are both eunuchs and palace maids on the surface, but there must be an imbalance in this, otherwise there would not have been a day when the palace maids were oppressed.
Kang Yi himself is a eunuch, so he must have a preference for eunuchs, and the palace maids are in the hands of those eunuchs who know martial arts, and everyone can really get Kang Yi's trust and become Kang Yi's henchmen or is he threatened? Tempted?
Wen Ling is more inclined to threaten than limited inducements.
Smiling, Wen Ling said to the palace maid, "Didn't you give an order that no one was allowed to spread the news?" If you tell Hongu, you're going to die......"
When the palace maid heard this, her face turned pale with fright.
But he gritted his teeth and held back.
Not afraid of death?
Wen Ling understood in his heart, who knows what the harem of the Jin Kingdom has become like now? I'm afraid that only when she enters the palace can she see those filthy things.
"Don't worry, this palace doesn't want to take your name, today's events, this palace just haven't heard of it." Wen Ling said softly, and then turned around and left.
The palace maid froze there, her face stunned.
She originally wanted the little palace maid next to her to tell the news in a panic, so that if she was investigated, she could also reduce her guilt and not die.
But who knew that the little palace maid couldn't say anything about her direct fright, so she still had to speak herself.
Now the princess said she didn't hear it.
So her task is accomplished? But don't wait for the news to reach the ears of His Highness, worried that he will be punished and die?
Thinking about it like this, the palace maid suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at Wen Ling's back, she had some doubts in her heart, is this a coincidence? The princess doesn't care about it?
At the banquet, Du Zhong withdrew from the banquet by dispersing wine, blowing the wind outside, and naturally heard the news from his subordinates.
"My lord, Chunyu has passed the news to the princess, but the princess didn't have much ups and downs after hearing it, she just said that she didn't hear about it, I'm afraid that the princess won't tell the prince of Qi about this, so our plan to provoke the anger of Qi will be in vain."
After hearing this, Du Zhong took two steps back and forth in the courtyard, and analyzed, "The princess has no feelings for the eldest prince, even if a woman is pregnant with the eldest prince's heir, it is normal for her to be indifferent to it. Moreover, now that Qi and Jin are allies, and His Royal Highness has fallen, the princess did not mention the past, but took over the will and was willing to enter the palace, indicating that Princess Chang'an was ready to sacrifice for the alliance between Qi and Jin. ”
Du Zhong touched his beard, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
So he concluded that even if Gu Rin had a child with another woman and made another woman a concubine, Wen Ling would not say anything bad to Qi Guo.
"Isn't our plan in vain?"
"No, the plan continues, Princess Chang'an can be indifferent, but the prince of Qi may not be able to, find an opportunity to reveal the news to the prince of Qi, but it is by no means today. I've already tried it once today, but if I continue, it's easy to get suspicious. Du Zhong commanded, his eyes showed a look of ambition, but he didn't know that the brother and sister who were being talked about also secretly said it at the banquet.
On the surface, the brother and sister are still very polite, but Wen Ling used a voice that only the two of them could hear, and told Fang Cai about the matter.
"Brother Huang, I promised that the palace maid would not say it, if you want to make trouble, it will not be a matter of any longer, I think they will find another opportunity to reveal this news to you, and it will not be too late for you to make trouble at that time." The arrangement of Wenling's words and sentences is clear, and he is very proud.
There is a sense of accomplishment that the overall situation is in hand.
Although there is no evidence of Du Zhong now, everything Du Zhong did is already like a trick of the clown in their eyes.
Yu Wenjing glanced at Wen Ling and frowned, "You are like this, I don't know how to go back with my father and queen mother when I go back." ”
When she was in Qi State, Wen Ling was the only princess in Qi State, Yu Wenhao was busy with government affairs on weekdays, and Nian Yun acted gently, what Wen Ling wanted to do, as long as it was not too out of line, it was what she could do.
In addition, Wen Ling has never been worried about anything or calculated.
She grew up in a protective shield and has never been injured, so she is like a newborn calf, desperate to bump into it, and only after hitting the south wall does she know that life is precious, and it hurts to be injured.
But now that he has arrived in the Jin Kingdom, he still looks like before, but the immaturity on his face is gone, and he is more thoughtful.
Wen Ling was stunned for a while, and said for a while, "Brother Huang doesn't have to worry, Chang'an is very good here, Chang'an is very smart, Chang'an will protect himself, Chang'an can't be under the protection of his father, queen mother, and queen brother for the rest of his life, and the royal brother came this time, Chang'an knows that Qi is Chang'an's eternal backing, and Chang'an is already extremely happy." ”
Wen Ling smiled at Yu Wenjing, and the look on his face really didn't show the slightest problem.
Gu Rin couldn't help but look towards Wen Ling, but quickly withdrew his gaze.
Yu Wenjing nodded.
After the reception banquet, the brother and sister returned to the embassy temporarily.
The day after tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, tomorrow the palace will send things to Wen Ling one after another to prepare, originally to prepare to marry Gu Xun's wedding dress, but now it can't be worn, Xianqin put the wedding dress under the box with some regret.
*
The new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole world celebrated.
The city of Mexico was a little more lively than usual.
Du Yong looked around, picking out some good-looking playthings, the guards behind him followed closely, and the crowded crowd kept coming and going, probably because Du Yong deliberately walked out of the arrogant pace that the six relatives did not recognize, so the people around him were extremely conscious of getting out of the way.
"Childe, the adults said, Childe will take the exam this fall, the first name, the adults have already arranged it, as long as the son studies hard, he will definitely be able to make Childe have an official body within two years."
The guard reminded from the side.
Over the years, due to Du Yong's physical reasons, even though he has studied, he has never taken any exams. And what Du Zhong wants is naturally the father and son in the same house, only when there are more and more people in the court, the greater his chances of winning.
"With the intelligence of this son, it is not a problem to take the exam." Du Yong replied casually.
Anyway, Du Zhong is not all arranged, but I am afraid that even if he is illiterate, Du Zhong can let him enter the office.
Du Yong silently calculated in his heart, although Du Zhong believed that he was Du Qi, but he never trusted him wholeheartedly, or rather, Du Zhong would not believe anyone at all, he wanted to find the edict of Shenglong, and there were guards to follow him when he went out on weekdays, if the guards did not follow, it meant that Du Zhong had returned, and he had no chance at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice from the side, "That's right...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ......"
"Girl, it's okay if you don't say a word that you didn't mean to, you have to pay if you accidentally break it!" A small table was set up in front of the vendor, and it was all jade pendants.
"But, but I didn't touch ...... at all."
"Girl! As soon as you turned around, my thing fell to the ground, not you, could it be that I couldn't fall by myself? I sell this thing for three hundred taels of silver, I see that you are also unintentional, and I don't ask you more, how about you pay me one two hundred taels? ”
"Two hundred taels!" The woman exclaimed.
The woman who followed on the side said loudly, "Two hundred taels of things, you just put them on this stall and sell them casually, who believes it!" ”
The voice was extremely high, and Du Yong subconsciously looked over.
But it was two women who were entangled by unscrupulous vendors.
"I said two hundred taels, and it was worth two hundred taels! You don't want to admit it, do you? If you don't admit it, let's go and report it!" The little vendor didn't care about the things on the stall, and directly grabbed the wrist of one of the women, "Let's let the prefect see, what is the reason why you don't pay for your things if you drop my things!" ”
Du Yong looked to the ground.
It was a piece of jade pendant that fell.
To tell the truth, the condition is not very good, it is the leftover leftovers, and the normal price is less than two dollars of silver.
But the reason why it can't be priced is that jade is priceless, and for those who know how to appreciate it, it's sky-high.
For people who don't know how to play, it's just a broken stone.
The peddler said he would sell it for three hundred taels, but it was really three hundred taels.
Du Yong glanced at the two women again, one of them was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, it seemed that his heart had risen, and he said casually to the guard, "When the matter is big, I will go and suppress this matter again, wouldn't it be a good name, so my father will be happier." ”
It's not good to be Du Qi, if you want to do anything good, you have to arrange a proper reason first.
After all, the real Du Qi is selfish and never cares about other people's opinions.
The two guards glanced at each other and arched their hands, "The prince is thoughtful and well-planned, if the prime minister knows, he will definitely be gratified." ”
In this way, Du Yong put away the folding fan, and waited for the crowd of onlookers to become more before stepping forward.
