214 The Emperor's Choice (and Update.)
"Father." Pang Qianyou stepped forward to bless a blessing, the heavy skirt brushed the tender buds all over the ground, the freshness of early spring had not yet bloomed and had been crushed into the dust, she hung her head and stood there quietly.
Pang Jun swept his gaze over the branches and leaves, and snorted lightly: "Since you think these wickers are annoying, it is better to move them all, and the catkins are flying in spring, and your mother also dislikes them." ”
Qianyou still didn't speak, thinking about it for a while, but her father asked her: "I heard that you went to Xi Niang, what are you looking for her?" ”
"It's just...... Up. Qianyou didn't say it explicitly, how could she say it, saying that she went to ask Xi Niang, but was rejected. After tossing for so long, the couple's love over there has not been affected by half of it, but she is exhausted and covered with sores.
"Reminiscing?" Pang Jun gently brushed a few willow branches, obviously not believing it, but he didn't have the heart to ask, so he said, "I don't agree with your marriage to Qi Hui, but you have really become a son-in-law, and there is more trouble." Your mother is even more desperate to live and die for this, and the family is in chaos. Tomorrow I will go back to the emperor and withdraw from this marriage. ”
Pang Qianyou's expression was grim, he approached his father in a few steps, and asked anxiously: "Didn't my father say that I should find a way to sit in the position of the mistress of Prince Shuo's mansion?" Why do you want me to give up, Daddy, my daughter hasn't given up yet, don't make a decision for me. ”
Pang Jun sneered: "What will happen if you stand here and pull wicker?" ”
With tears in her eyes, she choked up and said, "My daughter is just depressed in her heart, and there is nowhere to relieve it." Daddy, I want to marry Qi Hui, I will let him be your son-in-law and never cause you trouble. ”
"Arabian Nights." Pang Jun understood everything in his heart.
"But the emperor is bent on getting Xiangxiang, and I am trying to find a way with the concubine, as long as the emperor gets Xiangxiang, I can be his wife justifiably." Qianyou couldn't help but grab his father's arm and begged, "Daddy, help me, okay for me?" ”
Pang Jun once heard that the emperor liked the woman named Xiangxiang, and at this moment he heard his daughter say that she was working with the concubine to promote the emperor's wish, and she felt incredible. He thought it was just a momentary lust of the emperor, a very casual thought, but he didn't expect the infatuation to be so deep? What kind of emperor does he want to be, even robbing his younger brother's woman?
"What are you going to do?" Pang Jun asked.
"No, I haven't thought about it yet." Qianyou's expression was suddenly depressed, she and Concubine Jing haven't come up with a good way so far, in the final analysis, Qi Hui and Xiangxiang are stronger than Jin, and nothing can shake them. Thinking of the words love is better than Jin Jian, Qianyou looked disdainful, originally this should belong to her and Qi Hui.
Pang Jun already had an idea in his heart, his cold gaze swept over his daughter's charming face, and he said softly: "Think about it, if you want to spend money or use people, just tell your father, if your father doesn't support you, where will you go?" ”
"Really?" Her eyes lit up, and she was affirmed by her father again, she was more confident than before, and swore that "Daddy believes in me, and I will definitely earn my face back." ”
Pang Jun smiled but did not say a word, leaving his daughter to continue walking towards the study, and after walking away, he suddenly called the attendant to his side and ordered: "No matter what the eldest lady does, send someone to watch over her." In a few days, when I ask Mrs. and Miss Ping An for a pulse, let the doctor see if Qianyou has hysteria. ”
Whether Pang Qianyou has hysteria, Pang Jun is not the first person to suspect it, earlier Shen Yan asked Pang Shifeng to find a doctor to take a look at her, and until now, I am afraid that it is difficult to treat even if there is medicine. And what she is entangled with will always be her own business, Xiangxiang once asked her in the past, do you know what the world is like, maybe Miss Dang will never be able to see clearly.
At present, the matter of Jian's Mansion is imminent, once the court is convicted, it is still a trivial matter for the old marquis Jian to be deprived of his title and family wealth, and it is very likely that the family will face imprisonment, and Qi Hui and Jian Feng have repeatedly seen the old marquis, the old man said that he did not want his apprentices and grandchildren to go to Beijing to ask for his life, he is righteous and worthy of heaven and earth, if there is such a big movement, it will affect countless other people, but it will become his sin.
The old marquis said that as long as the female dependents in the family are not insulted, it doesn't matter if he is on the guillotine at this age, Qi Yan Jian Feng should have a bigger career to do, Pang Jun just wanted to distract their spirits, so he suddenly took action against the Jian family.
A huge family is only "small" in the eyes of the old marquis, and when Xiangxiang heard these words, he was already in tears. Now that I think about it, the old marquis embarrassed Xiangxiang at the beginning, it was really not for her alone, whether it was then or now, the old man is concerned about the world and looks forward to the clarity of the world.
Xiangxiang asked Qi Hui: "Is there really no way to turn around?" ”
Qi said in a deep voice: "Either come to confront the imperial court, or show weakness to Pang Jun and meet his requirements." ”
"What does he want?" Xiangxiang asked.
"Endless." Qi Hui's eyes were deep, "I will never lose a big one because of a small one, the Mu family chose to escape twenty years ago, I can't let the tragedy of the Jian family repeat itself, if I can't keep Jian Feng's house, how can I keep the world." When it's time to bow your head, just watch the road under your feet, and your lowered head can finally be lifted again. ”
Xiangxiang thought that her husband was going to negotiate with Pang Jun, but Qi Hui said that he wanted to put pressure on the emperor, even though Pang Jun was in power, the emperor could still turn things around with one sentence, as long as he could keep the Jian Mansion, he would try his best to mediate everything.
Early the next morning, Qi Hui got up earlier than usual and prepared to go out to the court, there was no movement on Shifeng Muqing's side, Xiangxiang had already dressed her husband and silently sent it to the door, Qi Hui saw that she was in good spirits today, and still told worriedly: "Be careful, don't touch those things that make you uncomfortable." ”
Xiangxiang agreed with a smile, urging him to hurry up and get on the horse, the sound of the horse's hooves gradually faded away, her husband's figure disappeared from his eyes, Xiangxiang was still standing in place and did not move, or Wei Meng came to remind her, only to come back to her senses, and said with a smile: "By the way, the prince said that he wanted to ask your mother to take care of me?" ”
Wei Mengle agreed, saying that he had sent a letter home, and he would send someone to pick it up when he turned around.
Xiang Xiang protected his lower abdomen with one hand, and said with a smile: "That's really good, there are few people in this family who understand." ”
In the deep palace, the sudden arrival of Prince Shuo, the chamberlains had to wake up the emperor who was sleeping in the gentle township, and put on a dragon robe for him with trembling trembling. The emperor swallowed his saliva, hurriedly turned around, fiddled in front of the dressing mirror for a long time, and changed into a golden dragon robe before going out again.
Qi Hui bowed and saluted, and he said enthusiastically: "The second brother entered the palace so early, but he has had breakfast, why don't we go to eat together, and say anything at the dining table." ”
"It's not appropriate to talk about business at the dinner table." Qi Hui said respectfully, "The minister has important matters to discuss with the emperor, disturb the emperor's good sleep, and ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”
The emperor smiled and sighed: "I guess, or is it for the sake of the Jian family?" Yes, Pang Jun said that he would be convicted in the next two days, and he would discuss it with Zhong Aiqing again this morning. There was a bit of smugness in his eyes, knowing that Qi Hui was helpless for this matter, he was inevitably very proud in his heart.
But he never thought that Qi Hui would come to have a showdown with him, saying that as long as the emperor kept the Jian Mansion with a word, he could come up with a lot of evidence and bring down Pang Jun in one fell swoop, even if his forces were intertwined in the court, he also had the ability to make his henchmen turn their backs on Pang Jun at a critical moment. Qi Hui said that just like the matter of Jian Mansion this time, it is much more difficult to prove innocence than to prove guilty, but Jian Mansion is wished, and Pang Jun is the next step is to bring disaster to the country and the people to change the day.
The emperor listened to it and calmed his heart, Pang Jun was ambitious, and it was not the first time he heard of it today, but he was chasing short-term interests and did not want to think about long-term things. And Qi Hui has always been full of righteousness, even if he came to ask the emperor for help, even if he spoke earnestly and respectfully, the emperor still felt the pressure of not being able to look at him directly.
And on this day, as if it was agreed, everything came one after another, he had seen Qi Hui alone before the early dynasty, and not long after the court meeting was dispersed, the prime minister came to ask to see him again. The emperor held the morning's events in his heart, and only planned to send Pang Jun away with a few perfunctory words as usual, but who knew that the prime minister's words poked at his heart, so that he almost said all the words of Qi Hui in the morning.
Pang Jun smiled and said to the emperor at that time: "The old minister is stupid, and he doesn't know what the emperor is often worried about. I don't know if it's too late to share the emperor's worries now. ”
The emperor was just perfunctory: "I have Aiqing's assistance, everything is worry-free, where is the sorrow?" ”
But Pang Jun said: "The minister has an idea, he can get the Mrs. Xiang of Prince Shuo's Mansion for the emperor, and if he wants to come to Mrs. Xiang to talk about elegance and noble temperament, the real mother of the country, such a woman should be by the emperor's side." ”
At that time, the emperor almost fell off the dragon chair, this matter came out of the prime minister's mouth, he really felt very ashamed, the dignified emperor was attached to a married woman, and it was still a younger brother's woman, if it wasn't for seeing the prime minister's humble face, he really thought he was bold, and he laughed at the emperor.
After the emperor calmed down, he was silent, only listening to Pang Jun slowly say his idea, his heart was turbulent, and then he said: "In this way, Xiangxiang will inevitably hate it to the bone, and Aiqing's idea seems to be inappropriate." ”
Pang Jun said with a smile: "The sin and let the old minister bear it, the emperor will be a good person when the time comes, and Mrs. Xiang will only hate the old minister, not the emperor." ”
Xiangxiang's matter, so far there has been no progress, the emperor has long been impatient, but he doesn't have the courage to take that step, now Pang Jun has made things clear, and intends to bear it with all his might, at this moment, what is the family and country in the world, he only has Xiangxiang's noble and holy figure in his eyes.
Pang Jun said again: "The old minister guarantees that Mrs. Xiang will not complain about the emperor." ”
