Chapter 212: Inform
The prince's guess was right, Sun Lulu did know Zhao Kangcheng's promise that Cai Xiaoxiao would no longer take concubines, and it was indeed because of this that she didn't dare to show her thoughts to Zhao Kangcheng, because she was afraid that Zhao Kangcheng would directly turn her away and not give her the slightest chance, just like those women in the countryside!
When Taifu heard the prince say that Sun Lulu might have investigated Zhao Kangcheng's past, he chuckled in his heart, and he thought: If this is the case, then does Sun Lulu know about Zhao Kangcheng's imperial examination? If so, did she tell Zuo Xiang? If you tell Zuo Xiang, it is equivalent to Zuo Xiang holding a handle in his hand!
Thinking of this, Taifu suddenly fidgeted a little, and was thinking about various ways to deal with it in his mind, and he didn't hear the prince calling him for a while:
"Teacher? Teacher? Teacher! ”
"Huh? Your Highness, what's wrong? After shouting several times, Taifu finally came back to his senses, looked at the prince with a confused face, and asked.
Seeing him like this, the prince frowned slightly and asked, "Teacher, what are you thinking?" Hongu has called you several times. ”
Taifu secretly settled down, and said with a slight smile: "Back to Your Highness, the old minister is just thinking, now he has figured out the relationship between Zhao Kangcheng and his wife, and has also determined Sun Lulu's thoughts about Zhao Kangcheng, but the old minister still doesn't understand what is the use of figuring out these?" The old minister thought about it for a long time and was fascinated for a while, so he didn't hear your highness's shout, and asked your highness to forgive you. ”
"I see." The prince half-believed Taifu's words, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a guess in this palace, according to Sun Lulu's character, she knew that Zhao Kangcheng would not take a concubine, but she had no intention of giving up, so she wanted Zhao Kangcheng to break this promise, but even so, Zuo Xiang should not let his daughter marry someone else as a concubine, so there is only one possibility......"
"Let Cai Xiaoxiao change from the main room to the concubine room?" Taifu followed the prince's words and guessed.
"Hmm." The prince nodded, "If this is the case, then we can take this opportunity to participate in Zuo Xiang's book: help his daughter to suppress the wife of the new champion, so that not only will Zuo Xiang be stained, but it is even very likely that Zhao Kangcheng and his wife will break down, and then Zhao Kangcheng will hate Zuo Xiang's family." ”
"I see." Taifu understood, "Your Highness is clever, I never thought that I could think of a way to suppress the left minister through the love of my children." ”
The prince hooked his lips and smiled slightly, and said: "The ancients said: The ancients wanted to be clear and virtuous, and rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their minds...... As the prime minister of the first dynasty, if he can't even discipline his own children well and let him bully the families of subordinate officials, how can such a left minister make the emperor believe it? ”
When Taifu heard this, he praised and said, "What His Highness said is very true, but it's just ......" He frowned slightly, "If Prime Minister Zuo won't agree to Sun Lulu marrying Zhao Kangcheng?" ”
"That's not possible, if the father doesn't agree, it doesn't mean that the daughter will give up. Teacher, you send someone to keep an eye on Sun Lulu, I can't say, we will make our champion owe us a favor from this matter. The prince smiled confidently.
"The old minister understands."
……
Jiang Wangfu –
"You said that Taifu investigated the matter between Sun Lulu and Zhao Kangcheng?" King Jiang frowned and asked the man in black standing in front of him.
"Yes, Lord Wang." The man in black bowed his head and replied respectfully.
"What is he doing investigating these?" King Jiang was puzzled, "Could it be that the crown prince asked him to investigate?" But why did the prince investigate such a thing that only women would do? ”
The man in black said: "The subordinates heard and learned that it seems that the prince guessed that Zuo Xiang's daughter likes the new champion. ”
"Sun Lulu likes Zhao Kangcheng?" King Jiang was even more surprised, "You report everything you know to this king!" ”
"Yes!" The man in black reported to King Jiang one by one the information about Zhao Kangcheng and the three of them that he had learned from Taifu, and the more King Jiang listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled:
"Zhao Kangcheng promised his wife that he would never take a concubine, Sun Lulu likes Zhao Kangcheng, and has been trying to get close to Zhao Kangcheng, the prince investigates them......" King Jiang tried to connect these points in his mind, and he still understood the front, but what he didn't understand was why the prince wanted to investigate this matter?
Jiang Wang thought about it and slowly speculated: "Sun Lulu likes Zhao Kangcheng, if Zhao Kangcheng is asked to marry her, Zhao Kangcheng will definitely not agree because of the promise, if Sun Lulu asks Zuo Xiang to help...... "Jiang Wang understands!" The prince wants to use this matter to seize the handle of the left minister!
He knew that this Sun Lulu would cause trouble to Zuo Xiang sooner or later!
"Someone, go and pass the left minister to see this king!" King Jiang shouted to the people guarding outside.
"Obey, lord!" The guards outside the door took the order.
……
Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng didn't know that someone had already picked up the matter between the two of them and Sun Lulu several times, and they and Zheng Yi went to find a craftsman who could renovate the restaurant after lunch.
Once you find someone, explain your requirements to them, pay a deposit, and let them start work tomorrow.
Zhao Kangcheng thought about it and felt that it was appropriate to leave Zheng Wei alone, so he felt that he would also leave an officer and soldier to supervise the work with Zheng Wei at that time.
After the renovation of the restaurant was completed, the three of them returned to the house, decided to pack their luggage, and set off for their hometown tomorrow.
……
When Zuo Xiang heard that King Jiang was looking for him, he was still a little stunned, and he didn't understand what King Jiang was looking for him? Don't you have something important to discuss?
With a guess, Zuo Xiang cleaned himself up, and then followed the guards to Jiang Wang's mansion.
King Jiang was waiting for him in his study, Zuo Xiang pushed open the door of the study and walked in, bowed and shouted: "Lord, I don't know if the prince called the old ministers to come, what is the important matter to discuss?" ”
"Xiangye, I heard that your daughter Xinyue is the new champion?" Jiang Wang didn't turn around and asked bluntly.
"Huh?" Zuo Xiang was stunned, "Lord Wang, what did you say?" ”
Seeing him like this, King Jiang guessed that he probably didn't know his daughter's thoughts, sighed slightly, and told Zuo Xiang about the prince's investigation of Sun Lulu and Zhao Kangcheng, as well as Sun Lulu's thoughts about Zhao Kangcheng.
After Zuo Xiang listened, he was shocked: "This ......" He recalled Sun Lulu's performance on weekdays in his heart, indeed, she did love to go to Cai Xiaoxiao's house in the past, and occasionally mentioned Cai Xiaoxiao to him, but never mentioned Zhao Kangcheng. Although Sun Lulu also told him that she already has a heartbeat, this ......
Zuo Xiang was a little incredulous: "Lord, could this be a trap for the prince?" I've never heard Lulu mention the name of the new champion......"
"Then you say, your daughter is a dignified daughter, and she has no reason to contact and make friends with a country woman who was still a common person before, why?" Jiang Wang asked him.
