The matter of Jing's marriage to the princess must have been determined, and the attention inside and outside the palace of the Eastern Qi Dynasty soon shifted to the election of a new crown prince. Originally, the matter of electing the crown prince should depend on the meaning of the king of Qi, but the king of Qi was put down by a bowl of medicine, and the next best way was to draw up a suitable candidate, and the queen would invite Zhou Tianzi to play for him.
The courtiers didn't have much respect for Jiang Wanghuan, an eight-year-old child, but his sister was about to become the wife of the head of the Jing family, so they had to re-examine their attitude. Jing's fief is just between the Eastern Qi and the Jin Kingdom, and if it is well wooed, it can become an important trade route, but if it really gets into trouble, the Jing family insists that he is on the order of the King of Jin to crusade against the Eastern Qi, and the Eastern Qi may not be able to take advantage of it.
Some courtiers who supported other princes pointed the finger at Chu Ning, who represented forgetting worries, saying that she was too young and she was not married yet, how could she become the officiant of the princess and her relatives? These people have been in the officialdom for a long time, and they are used to it, so they first take some small things that they think are not painful to test, if Forget Huan is a soft persimmon, and the queen acquiesces, then take advantage of the situation and step on the top of Forget Huan's head, if the situation is not right, then stop it.
In the main hall of the discussion, Chu Ning was dressed in the robe of the inner priest, and the two red-topped cranes on his sleeves were about to fly. After Forget Worry asked her to be the officiant of her own marriage, she has been promoted to a real inner priest.
She went straight to one of the old ministers who shouted the most fiercely: "I heard that the adult used to be the steward of the beast garden, and one year a few spirit birds here refused to reproduce, and the lord came up with a way to attract water and soil from the original place of the spirit birds, and solved this problem, is there such a thing?" β
The man had indeed risen from being in charge of the Beast Garden, which was also a very proud achievement of his time, and he immediately nodded triumphantly.
Chu Ning smiled slightly: "If the adult can handle the matter of the reproduction of spirit birds so properly, he must have laid eggs himself, right?" β
The man was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to react to what this little girl's words meant. Someone didn't hold back, raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and shrugged his shoulders with laughter.
Chu Ning saw that the effect was achieved, so he stopped talking, raised his eyes and looked around the hall, and the prepared drama was almost ready to begin.
Jiang Wanghuan, who had been kneeling beside the queen, suddenly stood up, waved the sleeves of his robe, and made a sacrificial dance to dance.
The atmosphere in the main hall was originally a little awkward, and Jiang Wanghuan's abrupt move naturally attracted everyone's attention. With his eyes half-closed, he sang a long series of sentences, some of which were so difficult to understand that they sounded like they rhymed strangely, but they did not know what they meant.
But some older people's faces changed, and some people pointed at Jiang Wanghuan and said in shock: "This is not ...... It's not ...... The eldest son of the Su family......"
Jiang Wanghuan completed a sacrificial dance in public in a state of almost intoxication, and not only that, but even the lengthy and awkward sacrificial words were recited word for word. He was just a child, and his movements were not childish, but he was very skillful and skillful, and when he had finished his dance, he fell to the ground, unconscious.
Forget Worry stepped forward anxiously and called him a few times, but the people on the ground did not respond, so she had to call the palace maid to take Jiang Wuhuan away, looking very worried and anxious.
When their sister and brother left, someone looked at the queen's face and asked tentatively, "Forget the princess...... It can't be evil, right? "In other words, I'm afraid such a child is not suitable for the position of prince, right?
The queen didn't have to think about it to know that this matter must be related to Chu Ning, and she said with a calm face: "What kind of situation should be seen by the doctor in the palace to find out." "The attitude turned out to be tough.
Chu Ning glanced at Su Sirong, Su Sirong immediately understood, turned his head and glanced at the courtiers he had befriended for many years in advance, and the man said loudly: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, now that the king is seriously ill, and there is no suitable prince to supervise the country, it is better to follow the old rules in the past, and the eldest of the sons will temporarily take care of the state affairs." The people of the Jing clan have not yet left Lindu, and the surrounding small countries are not in peace, so it may not be wise to continue to argue over the matter of electing the prince at this time. β
Su Sirong has a very unique vision of people, and has been friends with this courtier for many years, except for a sentence at this critical moment, he has never asked him to say a good word for his mother and son, this person has always been awe-inspiring and upright, and the words he said at this time are very convincing.
As soon as these words came out, many people echoed them, no matter how powerful the queen was, she could not go beyond the original rules of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and the matter was decided for the time being.
When Chu Ning left, he had just bypassed a corridor when he was stopped by Queen Qi: "I thought you would be a child who knows the times, I let you live, you should be grateful to repay it." Besides, I always thought that Forget Worry and you were friends, and her brother sat on the throne, isn't it something you would like to see? β
"Queen Niangniang, about letting me live, I'm afraid the understanding of the two of us is a little different," Chu Ning looked back without humility or arrogance, since he was ready to fight back, there was no need to go around in circles anymore, "If someone broke into your home, snatched your things, and was ready to kill you, but in the end they failed to succeed because of an unexpected change, and now this robber told you that you should repay your kindness, what would you think if you changed you?" β
Chu Ning was satisfied to see a crack of annoyance on the queen's delicate face, and then said: "One thing you said is right, I am happy to see Forget Huan on the throne." It's just that I hope he will be the real king of Dongqi, not a puppet in the hands of others. β
After speaking, she bypassed Queen Qi and left calmly.
After this day, several unbelievable things happened to Forget Huan. First of all, after Wang Huan was sent back, he immediately called the doctors in the palace to check it, and four or five experienced doctors couldn't find anything wrong with Yu Huan. In the evening, Forget Huan woke up on his own, still a lively child, his words and deeds were exactly the same as before, and there was nothing unusual about him.
The next morning, when the palace maid was combing Wanghuan's hair, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "When do you plan to pay back the ten knife coins that your father owes me?" β
The palace maid was inexplicable, but she didn't dare to hide it, and quickly reported the matter to the queen. The queen sent someone to investigate, and learned that the palace maid's father used to be a guard at the gate of the capital, and once owed ten knife coins and could not repay them, and was beaten in the street.
Then it was another day, how could there be no record of taking medicine in the palace of King Qi, Wang Huan said something intermittently, and later checked with the records he found, and found that there was no mistake, and the part he said happened to be handled by Su Li before.
Every time I have this abnormal behavior, I will fall asleep for most of the day, and when I wake up again, everything is as usual, I have no impression of what I have said and done, I don't know when, I will suddenly come to such a show.
The queen also suspected that someone had secretly instigated him, and when he was sober, she asked him in every possible way, but there was nothing unusual.
At the same time, some rumors began to circulate in Lindu, and these trivial matters that originally happened in the inner court somehow spread into the market, and became a well-known after-dinner conversation.
People are talking about the reasons for the abnormal behavior of the son of Forget Huan, and there is a saying that slowly gaining the upper hand, saying that Forget Huan was actually taken by Su Li's soul, and those abnormal actions were actually not done by Forget Huan, but by Su Li.
Because it involves Su Li, more and more people are paying attention to this matter. Suyin's family has just happened to the ugly thing of Xuancang being destroyed and his wife being separated, and people sigh and sigh, and they can't help but miss the handsome young man who was full of fairy spirit in the past. If he hadn't left home to ask for immortals, he would have been the head of the family this time.
Some people also said that Su Li must have ascended to the Tao, but when he saw the miasma at home, he was really angry, so he came back to take a look through his body. Some people even inquired about the birthday of the prince who forgot about it, and even the fact that he was a pure yang body was already an open secret.
In the dormitory where he forgot his worries, Chu Ning waved his hand, and the noisy and shouting picture that was originally floating in the air disappeared. She had just heard the discussion on the streets by magic, and turned to Forget Worry and said, "These people's imaginations are really rich, we just let people spread a beginning, and the follow-up they made up turned out to be even more tortuous and bizarre than we originally planned. β
Forget Worry replied a little absent-mindedly, withdrew his gaze from the window, and asked, "What's next?" I heard that the Jing family has sent a message, hoping that I can get married as soon as possible, and we may not have much time. β
Chu Ning glanced out the window and saw He Zhen hanging upside down on a tall tree like a hanged ghost, pretending not to see it and saying, "The momentum is almost done, and the rest of the matter will be hit with one blow." β
