Chapter 48 (2nd Update)
After Xiao Zhongzi left, Jing Guogong took Lu Zhiling's letter and read it again and again, for fear of reading a wrong word. Duchess Jing Guo gathered next to Jing Guogong and read the letter over and over again with Jing Guogong.
It wasn't until they read a letter backwards that the two of them completely believed two things, one was that Lu Zhiling really married Hua Yan to brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, and one thing was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really handed over the military power of millions of soldiers and horses to Lu Zhiling.
These two major events, if they are spread, are estimated to shock the eyes of people all over the world.
Who would have thought that Lu Zhiling, the prince of the Jingguo Mansion, who had always been unpresentable, would have such a great creation, not only becoming the righteous brother of the crown princess, but also becoming the general who commanded millions of soldiers and horses in the southwest.
Jing Guogong didn't expect that the uncompetitive son he talked about all day long could carry such a big burden. He didn't expect Yun Chi to value him like this. What he didn't expect was that Hua Yan couldn't sleep earlier because of his admiration for Lu Zhiling, but now three months have passed, and he has an extra daughter.
Gong Jing Guo and his wife have only had Lu Zhiling, a son of three generations, for most of their lives, and they have always regretted that they have no daughter and heirs next to them.
Prince Yun Chi is not married to Lin'an, everyone in the world can see it, what does it mean to be the princess's brother-in-law? Now a million soldiers and horses are unspeakable power and wealth.
However, even with the generous gifts sent by Yun Chi and Lu Zhiling's letter, Jing Guogong was still not sure.
He took the letter in his hand and said to his wife, "Madame, do you say, is this a good thing or a bad thing?" ”
Duchess Jingguo immediately said, "Naturally, it's a good thing, it's a great thing, who can have such a big good event and happy event, you can't ask for it, Ling'er, a dead child, why didn't you write to talk about it earlier, and it wouldn't have made us so frightened." ”
Respect for the country and justice, "It's indeed a good thing, but this thing is too good, I don't have a solid heart, and I don't know the bottom of my heart!" Think about it, the princess's brother-in-law, the general with millions of soldiers and horses, this ...... He's still so young......"
Duchess Jingguo nodded, "That's right, so what should I do?" ”
Jing Guogong sighed, "The matter has come to this, what can I do?" Ling'er has an extra sister, and we can be regarded as having an extra daughter, in the future, we will be regarded as half a relative, and we will write to warn Ling'er, we must not publicize it, our identity will be different in the future, we must no longer be as arrogant and bastard as before, and we must think twice before acting. ”
Duchess Jingguo urged, "Then why don't you hurry up and write to him?" ”
Jing Guogong stood up and took two steps, "What do you think of the crown princess?" ”
Duchess Jingguo immediately said, "It's a very powerful child, when I'm like her, I'm not as much as her, take the last birthday banquet of Zhao Zaifu's mansion as an example, Mrs. Zhao Zaifu and Zhao Qingxi are as powerful and shrewd as people, and they were persuaded by her few words and laughter. Princess Anyang said to me after the banquet that if the person she likes is her son, she will compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for whatever she says. ”
Jing Guogong nodded, "Dare to post the Queen Mother's wedding decree all over the world, who can do such a thing, the Lin'an Hua family can be seen to be unusual." The daughter of the Hua family is naturally unusual, and the crown princess should not be underestimated. ”
Duchess Jingguo immediately said happily, "No matter what, it's always a good thing to have a daughter, and I don't have to envy Mrs. Zhao Zaifu and Princess Anyang in the future." ”
Jing Guogong glanced at her and said, "Yes, your daughter is the crown princess." ”
Duchess Jingguo nodded happily, as if she was a few years younger with a radiant complexion.
But there is a stir in the capital, and all mansions will get news, especially the actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after returning to Beijing, which will be paid more attention.
In addition to the palace and the Mei Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sent a cart of gifts to the Jingguo Mansion, which soon attracted speculation from various mansions.
After Xiao Zhongzi left the Jingguo Mansion, he closed his mouth, no matter who asked, he smiled and didn't spit out half a word.
Princess Anyang also wondered when she heard this, and asked An Shuli, "It stands to reason that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have an opinion on the Jingguo Mansion, after all, the Crown Princess threatened to like Lu Zhiling earlier, how could she send someone to send a gift to the Jingguo Mansion after returning to Beijing?" You came back, but Lu Zhiling stayed in the southwest, what happened? ”
Princess Anyang is a smart and cheerful person, after knowing that her son had no accident, she also let go of her heart, looking forward to his return to Beijing, I thought that I would go to the southwest and come back in a few months, he would change his temperament, who knew that after An Shuli came back, as before, everything was faint, still indifferent to fame and fortune, and she used to let the princess of Anyang arrange the flower banquet and poetry banquet, knowing that she would look at it in disguise, and she would also attend it copingly, but after coming back, she was simply too lazy to deal with it, and she directly pushed it categorically. Princess Anyang began to worry again.
An Shuli was copying the calligraphy, listening to Princess Anyang's words, smiled and said, "When they were in the southwest, Lu Shizi and the crown princess made friends with brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, and His Royal Highness the prince came back from Lin'an this time and sent a car of gifts to the Jingguo Mansion, presumably the princess was preparing for the Jingguo Mansion Lin'an." ”
"Huh?" Princess Anyang was taken aback, "Eight worships to make friends? They are not...... Doesn't the crown princess like Lu Zhiling? ”
An Shuli said with a smile, "At that time, she just talked about it in order to destroy her marriage, and her mother also believed it?" ”
Princess Anyang pondered for a moment, "I'll just say, what does she think of Lu Zhiling?" It should be my son. ”
An Shuli was speechless.
Princess Anyang asked curiously, "Is this true?" ”
An Shuli nodded, "See it with your own eyes, and be a witness by the way." ”
Princess Anyang said "oops", "This time, the Duke and Mrs. Jingguo have got their wish." Then he asked, "How did they come to worship?" ”
An Shuli smiled, "It's probably because the crown princess has a lot of help from Lu Zhiling, so she can return her favor." ”
Princess Anyang said "oops" again, "This matter will spread sooner or later, and it is estimated that the threshold of the Jingguo Mansion will be broken from now on." ”
An Shu was noncommittal.
On the same day, Yun Chi discussed with everyone in the council hall until late at night, and then returned to the East Palace.
After Wu Weihou deliberated, he chased him to the East Palace.
Yun Chi looked at him and asked, "Lord Hou is looking for this palace for what Su Zi can't see?" ”
Wu Weihou nodded, "How many years, he hasn't stepped out of the capital, and now, the ministers have searched the capital for thousands of miles, and almost sent people to find the world, but he has not been seen, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, please let me know." ”
Yun Chi shook his head, "This palace doesn't know where he is. ”
Wu Weihou's face turned gray, "Could it be that something happened to him?" His body is getting worse and worse, and the minister is really afraid of him......"
It was rare for Wu Weihou's eyes to be red, as if there were tears.
Yun Chi looked at Wu Wei Hou, and was silent for a moment, saying, "Master Hou, don't worry!" Ji people have their own natural appearance, Master Deyuan once gave him a fate, saying that he was destined to have nobles to help him turn evil into good fortune. ”
Wu Wei was stunned for a moment, "When did Master Deyuan give him an order?" ”
Yun Chi said, "Five years ago. ”
Wu Weihou's face darkened, and after a while, he nodded.
Yun Chi said again, "Master Deyuan is a high-ranking monk, and Master Hou is not afraid to go to Banbi Mountain Qingshui Temple again, find the master, divination, and measure the good luck." ”
Wu Weihou sighed, "A few days ago, I went to the Qingshui Temple in Banbi Mountain, and it is said that Master Deyuan went there. ”
Yun Chi was a little surprised, "The master hasn't been out for many years, why did he go out this year?" ”
Wu Weihou shook his head.
Yun Chi also sighed lightly, "It's really unfortunate, but Hou Ye can rest assured, this palace has a hunch, and he will be fine." ”
Wu Weihou nodded, seeing the obvious tiredness between Yun Chi's eyebrows, thinking that he didn't seem to have come to rest for a while after returning to Beijing, so he didn't want to bother anymore, so he said goodbye and went home.
Seeing Wu Wei waiting to return home, Liu Fuxiang hurriedly stepped forward, "Master Hou, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" ”
Wu Weihou glanced at her, a little cold, didn't speak, and went to the study.
Liu Fuxiang was frozen by Wu Weihou's sharp eyes, her body stiffened for a long time, and she didn't dare to follow her to the study.
Late at night, in Zhao Zaifu's mansion, Mrs. Zhao sighed to Zhao Zaifu and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally returned to Lin'an Huayan, what should we do about Xi'er's marriage?" ”
Zhao Zaifu said, "Our family's Xi'er, don't worry about getting married." ”
Mrs. Zhao said, "That being said, the marriage really can't be delayed any longer." ”
Zhao Zaifu said, "It is said that Su Ziqi of Wuwei Houfu is missing, I don't know where he went, I don't know when he disappeared, I don't know if he is dead or alive." Wu Wei is in a hurry. ”
Mrs. Zhao Zaifu said, "I don't agree with Su Ziqi, he has a cold disease, maybe something big will happen one day, my daughter can't be a widow." ”
Zhao Zaifu said, "This marriage is not successful, let's re-elect tomorrow." You can rest assured, there are countless talents in the world, and you can always choose a wishful one for Xi'er. ”
Mrs. Zhao could only nod.
