Chapter 134: Entering the Palace
Wei Ci didn't say much and left quickly.
Sheng Mingzhu followed behind Sheng Qian, his brows furrowed slightly, Sheng Qian watched Wei Xi walk away, and then returned to say to her, "It's not peaceful outside these days, so don't keep running outside." Wait until your grandfather's filial piety period has passed, and then make plans for marriage. ”
The Shengguo Mansion was shattered overnight, which shows that nothing in this world can be said accurately. Sheng Qian knew that he was only attached to the emperor, and if the emperor suffered misfortune one day or the new emperor ascended to the throne, no one could predict what would happen in the future. Maybe it's like in a dream.
So before everything is done, he needs to be prepared for any future contingencies. The marriage with Guan Ping can ensure that the eldest daughter will have no worries in the future, and the second daughter is young, if something really happens, Guan Ping will not let an orphan girl go out. Thinking of this, Sheng Qian's eyebrows gradually broadened, and he didn't need to worry about the end, and the eldest husband naturally broadened his thoughts.
——
Emperor Wei returned to the capital, but after all, the road was far away, and the old prince had already finished mourning.
He quickly returned to the upper study.
The people in the palace will clean it every day, but maybe it has not been used for a long time, so it is a little less popular. Emperor Wei sat on it, the lantern above his head was just shrouding him, there was no one around, no one dared to be close to the emperor, even Wang Fu, who had been serving him, was now watching him not far away.
Emperor Wei suddenly felt a lonely chill in his heart.
A lonely cold eroded by the years, he always felt cold all these years. He rubbed his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Wang Fu, you said that Ah Wen is down, will you feel ruthless when you see Sheng Xiuwen?" "Ah Wen is the name of Empress Zhaoren, and Sheng Xiuwen is the name of Sheng Guogong.
Sheng Guogong's parents are an ordinary couple, and it is easy to save some money to find a show before naming their son, hoping that he will one day study and soar, and no longer have to be a person with his back to the loess and facing the sky. Unexpectedly, he became a martial artist in the future, and because of the inconvenience caused to him by this name after practicing martial arts, it has been rare to hear someone call Sheng Guogong the name over the years.
Wang Fu pouted, honestly he didn't know what to say. However, he knew that Emperor Wei could always justify himself.
"She shouldn't be, she accompanies me to fight the country, she knows what kind of person I am." Emperor Wei looked at the palace lamp not far away, and seemed to see a female character standing under her head, she was a Han girl, but she loved riding clothes, her eyebrows were like fire, and she liked to shake the whip in her hand when she saw something she didn't like.
Emperor Wei stretched out his hand, but soon saw the wrinkles engraved on his hand, and his brows furrowed again for a while.
The years are always warm to beautiful women, Wang Fu thought. can treat a ruthless person, and he is always ruthless.
He has served Emperor Wei for so long, to be precise, Emperor Wei is not a completely ruthless person, but he has a ruthless scale in his heart, and after distinguishing the weight, he is extremely ruthless to the side that is raised high. For example, the queen of the year, such as the Shen family back then, and the Sheng Guogong today.
"Go and call the prince, and say that I have something to ask him." Wei Di Dao.
Wang Fu waved his hand to whisk the dust, "Yes." ”
——
"How are you doing these days?"
Outside, the eldest princess entered the palace to find Jiang Runyan again, and three months had passed, and Jiang Runyan's lower abdomen was slightly raised. The person's personality is not very good, a little sickly, and now he is leaning on the head of the bed, looking at the mother who is followed by countless imperial doctors, her slender brows are raised, "It's nothing." ”
"Let the imperial doctor take your pulse in a while, this is the first child, no matter how careful. If you give birth to a prince, you won't have to suffer this sin in the future. ”
Jiang Runyan straightened up, "What prince, mother, you obviously know-" She didn't finish speaking, but was stopped by the eldest princess, and only looked at her with a pair of dark eyes, "The palace said that he is the prince, and he is the prince." After a while, he sat down on a stool not far from her bed, waved his hand slightly, and the imperial doctors went out again, just as they had come.
"Your Majesty came back yesterday, you have taken care of your body these days, and when Wei Ci and the prince ask Your Majesty for peace, you will tell Your Majesty that you are pregnant in your womb."
Jiang Runyan touched his stomach, "Your Majesty has many princes, and now there are many grandchildren, even the prince has many concubines." His Majesty may not value it, so why bother to be in the limelight. ”
The eldest princess just looked at her belly, "You do as I say." It won't hurt you. Then he said, "You have a good rest, I will come to see you another day." He soon left the house and went in the other direction, with someone from the palace leading the way.
"Auntie, as soon as my father arrived at the imperial study this morning, he sent someone to the prince's mansion to call the prince." Wei Xi saw people from afar and hurriedly went out and talked about what he had inquired about today. The eldest princess sat on a chair, and there were servants next to her who were serving and serving tea and water, "Why are you in such a hurry, do you think that Your Majesty is not good now, and you are in a hurry to pass the throne to the crown prince?" ”
Wei Ci naturally knew that it wasn't because of this.
But just like when he was a child, he was afraid that he didn't have a prince. Obviously, both of them went to school together, and there was a KitKatat nine-link in the study, and he and the prince liked it very much that day, but they also wore it on the prince for a long time after the master talked to the prince alone. It's just an inconspicuous little thing, and Wei Ci didn't really pay much attention to it back then.
But at such a time, no matter what the wind and grass, it can make his heart skip a beat.
"My father was supposed to stay in Nanshan for a whole autumn, but now he suddenly came back early, could it be because?" Wei Xi stopped halfway through his words. The eldest princess knew that she was talking about Sheng Guogong. In the final analysis, Emperor Wei gave the crown prince the responsibility of supervising the country, and he was familiar with the prince's temperament, so it was such an opportunity.
On the side of the emperor's couch, how can he allow others to sleep soundly, it is difficult to guarantee that he does not want to take back the military power in the hands of Sheng Guogong. The crown prince is his own son after all, and he is much more relieved than an outsider. The eldest princess didn't know what Emperor Wei wanted, but Sheng Guogong died, and the crown prince had already taken the blame.
"Your Majesty wants to be a Ming monarch, how can you let yourself be left in the history books. No matter how many defeats Sheng Guogong fought after his old age, he was an indispensable hero in the history of the Great Wei. Now that the prince is persecuting meritorious heroes and persecuting meritorious wives for the sake of his own benefit, His Majesty is naturally not as good as him. ”
The eldest princess said, "You and I know what the prince's temperament is, and Your Majesty also knows it." He has never been the candidate for the next prince, you just need to do your part - "The remaining princes are wasted, and those who have not grown up have not grown up, and Emperor Wei does not want the throne to fall into the hands of others."
And now that Emperor Wei is old and sick, he doesn't have time for him to choose a candidate for the position of second prince.
——
The crown prince has not yet arrived in the palace, and the crown princess is waiting for him to wear official clothes.
"My father is coming back early, I guess I was annoyed by what happened a few days ago", the crown princess said, "After all, Sheng Guogong has great prestige among the people, not to mention how my father and that Sheng Guogong had a relationship when they were young. The father loves to save face, and he is very afraid that his subjects will evaluate him, and now that Sheng Guogong is gone, it is inevitable that there will be anger. This time to enter the palace, the crown prince needs to return the military power to His Majesty, and then explain the cause of Sheng Guogong's death. ”
The old man lost the battle, and his health was not good. As long as the prince has military power, why should he bother with Sheng Guogong, who can't fight with him, maybe he will go when he is old and his health is not good. It's just that everyone said that it was because the imperial doctor in the palace was ordered by him to let Sheng Guogong apologize for his crimes, and Sheng Guogong had to die.
The prince is already quick-tempered, not to mention that he was also raised as a prince. is also the same as Emperor Wei's thoughts, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. When a Sheng Guogong died, he died, but it caused so much noise among the people, and it was inevitable that he would be more angry for a while.
"Prince?" The crown princess said a lot, but the prince didn't respond, so she asked out loud.
The prince was still in a daze, but when he heard her call himself, he was a little impatient, "Lone knows." He took the hem of his coat from her hand and walked out quickly. The crown princess frowned slightly, but as soon as the prince went out, he took a carriage to the palace, and his head hurt even more for a while.
"Where's she?" asked the grandmother who was waiting beside him.
The grandmother said, "A few days ago, the concubine's original sister and niece came to defect, and they are busy settling down these days. I'm probably still talking in one place today. ”
"I said, why have you been living so peacefully these days" As if she suddenly thought of something, the crown princess frowned, "Her maiden sister, is it Mrs. Boyuanhou?" The one who had been living in the Shengguo Mansion before? ”
Mama didn't understand what she meant, and nodded. The crown princess's face immediately fell. She just thought about it by chance, Sheng Guogong fell, and Ruan's fight a few days ago became a joke in the eyes of many people, but this does not mean that the Su family, who openly repented of marriage, is not a joke in the eyes of others.
What's more, Li Qiancheng, the son of the Su family, is an official in the household department, or because of Wei Xi's recommendation.
When the Su mother and daughter first came to the capital, they all relied on the care of the Shengguo Mansion, and now the Shengguo Mansion has fallen and they have withdrawn from the marriage, which shows the ingratitude of this family. Li Qiancheng was recommended by Wei Xi to join the office, and brought these people to her home at such a juncture, did she really think that she was the heroine of this prince's mansion?
The crown princess's face was pale, but she didn't want to pull down her head to deal with a concubine, so she said, "You go there and tell her that the prince's mansion has been busy recently, and I am afraid that the guests will not be entertained well." Mama nodded, knowing that the crown princess wanted to drive them away, and she didn't go alone, and followed a bunch of rough envoys.
Inside, Concubine Qin was talking to the Su family.
There is nothing to hide from the royal affairs, especially at the banquet a few days ago, Jiang Runyan was still in the prince's mansion, and the side concubine coaxed the little county lord, "My maid heard it, said that she was two months pregnant?" I said, a county lord and a prince, there is no need to be in such a hurry when getting married. ”
