229 Messengers
After Princess Qingyang entertained several princes, she only entered the palace to see her brother Emperor Changsheng once, went to visit King Zheng and King Ning, and then began to close the door on the grounds of recuperating her body. Now is the period of national mourning, and I am afraid that the queen will be angry with the emperor, even if she is a princess, she has to keep a low profile.
When the emperor saw Wang Jinyan, he liked it very much.
"Are you Ah Yan's imperial uncle? is really heroic and handsome, and it is as admirable as Ah Yan imagined. Wang Jinyan said, and gave a big gift to Emperor Changsheng in a decent manner.
Emperor Changsheng was happy and rewarded a lot of gifts to Princess Qingyang's mother and son.
But as soon as they left, his face turned solemn, and he said to Feng Huchen: "I heard that Qingyang's eldest grandson is also quite likable?" ”
This is not like a happy look, Feng Huchen couldn't figure out for a moment what the emperor meant by asking what this meant, so he replied dryly.
"The envoy of Hui is almost here, right?" The emperor suddenly came up with such a sentence.
"I have followed your instructions to let them come back after the national funeral." As the most powerful person in front of the emperor, Feng Huchen immediately understood what the master meant, "I'm afraid that I'm already on the road now." ”
Hui Hui has changed the new lord of the country, this time I am afraid that I am here to ask for relatives, Da Zhou is now a national funeral, naturally it is inconvenient to entertain them, and Emperor Changsheng has not been very in favor of harmony, but this time how did he take the initiative to ask about Hui Hui?
Especially when Princess Qingyang just left, does the emperor want Princess Qingyang's daughter to go and kiss?
But hasn't the emperor always liked the Lord of Langya the most?
But that's not for sure.
After all, Wang Shuren's death is equivalent to burying a thorn between the emperor and the Wang family, and although Wang Shenyuan is not outstanding, he is relatively good among the younger generation. Wang Jinyan can speak well at a young age, and Wang Haoran, the eldest grandson of the Wang family, is not far behind.
If Wang Jiazhao continues to develop in this momentum, it will only get better and better.
In this case, the emperor will definitely be a little jealous of the royal family, and it will become inevitable for the lord of Langya to make peace.
But the most taboo thing for the superior is to speculate on the holy will!
Feng Huchen was busy gathering his mind, but he heard the emperor say: "It's almost out of the filial piety period of the first queen mother, right?" ”
"Exactly! Today is the last day. ”
Because it was a national funeral, firecrackers and fireworks could not be set off in the capital, let alone a banquet, and the whole capital was deserted and lonely.
"Drive and go to the Hall of Tranquility."
Qingjing Hall is the residence of Concubine De, the mother of the Six Princes.
Compared with Concubine Shu and Concubine Li, the emperor is obviously more willing to promote this Concubine De, because there is no queen and queen mother in the palace, what the emperor wants to do, under normal circumstances, he will order this Concubine De to do it.
Feng Huchen lowered his eyebrows and followed Emperor Changsheng to the Qingjing Palace.
"It's still too deserted in this palace." Emperor Changsheng sighed at Concubine De.
During the national mourning, isn't it just deserted?
But the person who said this was the emperor, and Concubine De had already said this in her heart several times in a moment, and then said tentatively: "Your Highnesses have become relatives, or your majesty will be able to enjoy the fun of your children and grandchildren around your knees in a few years." ”
Emperor Changsheng was faint and did not answer.
Concubine De didn't dare to be cold again, so she thought about it for a while before she said: "Or, let the crown princess hold a spring banquet and make the palace more lively." ”
Could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to which little lady again?
But after all, she was not only promoted, but she was only a concubine, so she sold it to the crown princess, and by the way, she tried to see if it was in line with the emperor's wishes.
"Xue's child, it's really good, I heard that she took the emperor's eldest grandson to her knees to raise her?" The emperor unexpectedly exaggerated the Da Xue family, maybe men are like this, thinking that women should be born generous and virtuous, and they can't fight for vinegar.
The Xue family has only been married to the prince for a year or two now, and only gave birth to a girl, and it is inevitable that there will be a son-in-law in the future, if it is not difficult to speak, who is willing to help others raise children?
"I heard that the Chen family, in order to invite favor, deliberately poisoned his own son, and framed the crown princess, but he was unexpectedly recognized by the crown princess." Concubine De sighed.
Xue is capable, and she is naturally willing to add icing on the cake. Of course, what is more important is to be able to say what the emperor wants to hear.
The emperor nodded, "Didn't Luoyang pay tribute to a lot of peonies, you pick two pots and enjoy them." ”
This is an indirect agreement to let the crown princess hold a spring banquet.
When Emperor Changsheng left, Concubine De and the personal palace maid in front of the marquis inevitably showed arrogance, "Your Majesty, this is trying to promote the position of the mother." ”
The middle palace is vacant, and there are no concubines, only the three concubines Li, Shu, and De, but the emperor asked her mother to reward the princess with peonies, doesn't this mean that her mother is going to be promoted to queen or concubine?
Concubine Zhou Defei's eyes suddenly sharpened, "Don't talk nonsense in the future!" ”
If you want to invite a foreign wife and a noble daughter of a family, her identity as a concubine can still make up, but those who are favored and trusted are afraid that they will not buy it, and the emperor is not good to directly order his daughter-in-law, can he only let her speak?
But even if she held a spring banquet, there were not many people who dared not come, and those people were not people she could provoke.
That's it, she just needs to be a good messenger.
Concubine De quickly picked two pots of peonies that were blooming brightly and sent them to the crown princess.
Now is the important time to divide the feudal domain, and the princes are inevitably watching each other very closely.
The prince was still lamenting yesterday that the Seventh Prince was rewarded by his father, and today his daughter-in-law received a peony from Concubine De. Not only that, Concubine De also said what the emperor praised the crown princess yesterday.
The prince stood there with a look of shame.
The crown princess is virtuous, doesn't he become unrecognizable?
But the Marquis of Changxing has now ambushed a city that had been robbed by the Hu people, and the emperor is on the rise, so he showed a look of shame and gave the Da Xue family the crime in front of the people sent by Concubine De.
Da Xue smiled generously, "Your Highness is also deceived. ”
On the surface, the matter is revealed.
When Concubine De left, the prince asked people to inquire about Concubine De's flowers, and learned that the second prince and the seventh prince were not there, so he told his staff about it.
The one surnamed Xi in the middle immediately smiled and said, "You are the prince, so the weight is naturally more important." ”
That's right, but if it's really the emperor's intention, isn't he carrying the Xue family to press himself?
Knowing his father Mo Ruozi, the prince feels that his father is not like a person who can act like this, if he really attaches so much importance to the distinction between the concubines and the concubines, there will be no matter of the seventh lady being favored back then, not to mention the fact that Mrs. Wu and the second lady Wu entered the palace.
The prince couldn't figure it out, so he went to the princess again.
The Great Xue clan is much smarter than him, "The concubine felt that something must happen at this banquet. ”
The prince had a rare relationship with the Da Xue family, "Lone also thinks so!" After he finished speaking, as if he remembered something, he stroked his palms and said, "I heard that Feng Xiang and Lao Qi invited the abbot of Putuo Temple to Beijing." ”
Da Xue looked dazed.
The prince explained in a very rare way: "This abbot has the technique of Qimen Dunjia, and he can calculate a person's fortune according to the eight characters of his birthday. ”
