Chapter 34: The Princess's Tell

Section 436

Zhuo Zhaojie had already sorted out Su Shi's hint yesterday on the road, and after thinking about it for a while, he said softly: "Three days before Jiulang left, he was called by his father to the main house, and he came back and told me something-that is...... It was the eldest aunt who planned to let the fourth cousin reconcile with her husband, and then choose the children of the high family, but the fourth cousin was very affectionate with her husband, and was unwilling to give up her current husband to marry a famous family, so she was unwilling, and the eldest aunt was annoyed by this, and when she came back this time, she simply detained her in the house and was not allowed to go out, and sent someone else to the Xu family to force the fourth cousin-in-law to write a letter to release his wife......"

When she said this, Queen Chunyu had already frowned slightly, and said, "Why is Ou Shi so snobbish?" ”

"Ahem, the eldest aunt did this, and the fourth cousin naturally felt very sad after knowing it, but the eldest aunt is now bent on going her own way, thinking that she can't listen to the persuasion of the eldest uncle and others now, and the fourth cousin is filial, and she is afraid that her grandmother will worry about her after she knows, so she begged her father." Zhuo Zhaojie looked like "Ning Ruiwan actually doesn't have a heart", and said softly, "Niangniang also knows that there are actually some gaps between my father and my eldest uncle, but my father has always been soft-hearted, not to mention that there are gaps, this brother-in-law, niece, is always a family, yes, my father listened to the invitation of the fourth cousin, although he felt that this would offend the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt, but he couldn't bear to see the separation of the husband and wife of the fourth cousin and the fourth cousin-in-law, and he had the intention of helping the fourth cousin." ”

What a shrewd person is the queen? Zhuo Zhaojie first said that something happened to the two concubines of the Marquis of Yongcheng, and then said that Ning Ruiwan prayed for the Marquis of Yongcheng - and the order of these two things was about to be reversed, and he immediately understood that the matter of the two concubines of the Marquis of Yongcheng was probably related to Ning Ruiwan - thinking about it like this, how could the queen not understand that the Qiguo Mansion had made a move?

Moreover, this action was still aimed at Yongcheng Hou.

Of course, the queen would not know about the matter of Yongcheng Hou and Shen Lige, and it was impossible for her not to think that the hand of the Qiguo Mansion could be regarded as symptomatic medicine, and from the queen's point of view, it was enough insidious and vicious!

The queen's gaze was cold for a moment, and then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Jia Lang is indeed easy to be soft-hearted, but he has done this matter, how to say that it is also a matter of the big house, not to mention that the parents are in charge of the marriage event, and he is an uncle in it, in the end, it is not the same thing, not to mention that he originally had a gap with the Duke of Qi Guo, and then he told Ning Ruiwan about the matter, I am afraid that the brothers will add to the scars." ”

Queen Chunyu called the Marquis of Yongcheng "Jia Lang", generally a nephew, but the Duke of Qi Guo is the Duke of Qi Guo, saying that Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie are ranked, but Ning Ruiwan is a name, distant and close relatives, at a glance.

"That's what Kurou thinks too." Zhuo Zhaojie said softly, "But Jiulang has gone to Cuiwei Mountain now, and Niangniang also knows that I have just passed the door, and I don't know much about the affairs between the elders, so he told me to leave it alone, I naturally listen to Jiulang." ”

Speaking of this, she changed her words and said, "I just heard Jiulang say that my father had verbally promised the fourth cousin to do something for her that day, but ...... There was a matter of the pendant in the house before, because it involved Ning Shizhong, the former chief manager of Jiulang's attack, and I didn't want to easily disturb the purity of my grandmother's side, but Ning Shizhong was also a person left by his grandfather, so I asked Su Bohou...... After thinking about it, I still asked my grandmother for the matter. ”

Queen Chunyu pondered for a moment and said, "What did the second sister say?" ”

"Grandmother is not very happy, yesterday she asked me to go back to the mansion first, after all, I am the only one in the Hou Mansion now." Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and said, "What I'm worried about now is ...... Yesterday, a person who served his father was recruited in front of his grandmother, and he received several benefits from his aunt's side, and now his grandmother is annoyed, and after his father and Jiuro find out, I am afraid that they will also be angry...... In this way, the fourth cousin ......"

She sighed and said, "So I still asked Niang Niang to give me an idea, I also felt sorry for her when I heard about my fourth cousin, but now it's like this...... I think that even after my father and Kurou came back, it would be inconvenient to say anything to the fourth cousin, so as not to make the eldest aunt suspicious, but if I wanted to leave the fourth cousin like this, I was afraid that my father would not do it if he agreed, and I felt uncomfortable. ”

Empress Chunyu's eyes froze, and she smiled slightly: "You are a good boy who is filial, and the palace has also allowed you, if you talk about things, the palace will always give you ideas." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said respectfully: "Ask Niangniang for advice!" ”

"In the final analysis, whether Ning Ruiwan remarries or not, this is always a matter in the backyard, and it is nondescript for a man to be caught in it, since he is embarrassed about this matter, he came to talk to the palace, isn't it done?" Queen Chunyu smiled faintly, but the smile didn't even stain her eyes, and said, "This palace is the queen, and a few marriages are expected to be managed." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "What Niangniang said is very true, I am also confused - I am still embarrassed, what is there to be embarrassed about?" It's no longer right to ask Niangniang for this matter, and now I can thank Niangniang for my fourth cousin. ”

She said this, but what she thought in her heart was that Su Shi was so good, he looked for what he said last night, and now he actually answered all of them - what Queen Chunyu is most worried about now is not that the Qiguo Mansion has calculated the Marquis of Yongcheng?

This means that the faction of the king of Yanchang County has begun to resurrect.

For the saints and queens, who were no longer young, this meant that the courtiers began to question their ability to support the king of Zhending.

This is obviously intolerable for the emperor and queen who have been in power for many years.

Queen Chunyu got the news she wanted to know, and she didn't have the heart to laugh with Zhuo Zhaojie anymore, and after a few perfunctory words, she said that she was tired, Zhuo Zhaojie looked at the queen's face, and retired with interest, and didn't even say anything about the meal that He mentioned in the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion.

Empress Chunyu asked the He family to send her.

He accompanied Zhuo Zhaojie out of Penglai Palace, and saw the princess wearing a half-old homely dress, holding a handmaid's hand, and slowly walking up the stairs.

The crown princess waved her hand and asked with a smile, "Is the queen mother inside?" Are you going back? ”

"The queen said that she was tired, and the princess and wife retired." He said on the side of Zhuo Zhaojie.

When the crown princess heard this, she was stunned, and then said, "Ah, then I won't bother the queen mother." He turned around, simply went down the steps with Zhuo Zhaojie, and said, "It just so happens that we take two steps together, Jiulang has gone to Cuiwei Mountain in the past two days, and now you are the only one in the Hou Mansion, and Xingning Fang is close to the palace. ”

The crown princess mentioned the county lord of Dingcheng, Zhuo Zhaojie thought about it, and said with a smile: "Last time, I saw the county lord in the palace of Zhending County at first, but when I turned around, I disappeared. "Before, in order to celebrate Zhao Caolu's pregnancy, the king of Zhending invited several of his friends to the county king's mansion for a small gathering, which was also a confidential discussion.

Zhuo Zhaojie remembered that when he arrived, he saw the county lord of Dingcheng, after all, although the county lord of Dingcheng was not the princess herself, but she was brought up by the princess, and the king of Zhending County has always been like brothers and sisters, since it is such a happy event as a sister-in-law, how could she not join in the fun?

But after the Kabuki people came up that day, Zhuo Zhaojie was fascinated, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Ning Shaobi and the others were gone, and later Zhao Caolu said that the Lang Jun were all discussing in the study, but he didn't mention Dingcheng County Lord - and then because Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhao Caolu talked about family tricks, but they forgot about this county lord.

"She's all nonsense." The crown princess shook her head and said, "I ran out before I finished my homework that day, and then I was weak and borrowed a room for her sister-in-law to make up for her homework. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but smile and said, "The county lord is really cute. ”

The crown princess shook her head and said, "This kid is good at everything, but he is too playful and refuses to pay attention to his homework." As she spoke, she changed her words and said meaningfully, "It's a little similar to Jiulang, both of them are talented but unwilling to work hard." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was about to say a few good words about becoming the county lord, but the crown princess suddenly approached her ear and said softly: "Father, emperor, and queen mother, now they are looking forward to Jiulang's hard work. ”

Seeing what Zhuo Zhaojie was going to say, the crown princess raised a finger and signaled her to silence - at this time, the He family was also a few steps behind, and the waiters were all away from a distance, and the princess's voice was low and inaudible, and said: "The father and mother are old, and so is the eldest princess, and Jiulang is the eldest princess's favorite grandson...... Father and mother

They have promised the eldest princess that they must arrange a bright future for Jiulang! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said movingly: "Thank you Crown Princess!" ”

"You're always so polite, kid." The crown princess smiled faintly and said, "Okay, it's good if you know it in your heart...... Waiting for Jiulang to come back from Cuiwei Mountain, I think you also know how to talk to him, so I said, you can be idle in the future, you can often interact with Dingcheng, now Feng Nu is married and opened a mansion, although it is not far away, in the end it is not in the East Palace, this child is used to frolicking with her brother, and now it is inevitable to feel lonely, you are close, and unlike Calyx Green to be pregnant, Dingcheng is sensible, and I dare not always trouble her sister-in-law, I have to ask for your purity for her. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and smiled: "The county lord is extremely cute, and it is also my blessing to be able to interact with the county lord often!" The crown princess and ask the county lord to wait for two days, I am afraid that there are some things in the house in the past two days to clean up, and I have to go to my grandmother's side once, and I will send the post to the East Palace in two days. ”

The crown princess smiled and exchanged a few more words with her, and then said, "The palace car is here." ”

The two took the palace car separately, and after saying goodbye, they went back separately.

When he returned to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, Zhuo Zhaojie asked Aunt Mao: "Is there anything going on today?" ”

Aunt Mao said: "There is nothing in our house, and there is no news from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess...... However, the little lord of the Jin Dynasty sent a post, saying that he should draw a small portrait of the lady, and planned to come to the door tomorrow, so he asked the lady to choose the dress and hairpin ring that she was wearing at that time. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie didn't expect Tang Qianxia to mention it first, so he was stunned for a moment before he said: "Before, I made an appointment with the little county lord of King Jin to invite her after I made a choice, why did she take the initiative to come over now?" ”

Mao Gu guessed: "Is it for ......?"

"Tang Qianxia had lied to Zhuo Fangdian before, but now that grandmother and the queen mother have asked about this matter, I don't think she needs to bother with it anymore." Zhuo Zhaojie groaned, "I'm afraid it's a coincidence." ”

Aunt Mao said: "What is the lady Ming'er wearing?" ”

"We'll find out later, let's choose." Zhuo Zhaojie said, "After all, this county lord's painting skills are famous all over Chang'an, so it's good to get a small statue!" ”

"The little lord of the Jin Dynasty only needs to paint here anyway, so you don't have to worry about it first, but what the maid thinks is that the lady will go into the palace today, and tell everything according to Su Shina's reminder yesterday, and draw the queen's attention to the big room...... Didn't the eldest prince mainly deal with the big house before, and didn't he ask the lady to listen and watch it next to him? Now that the lady is doing this, will it make Her Royal Highness the eldest princess displease? Aunt Mao asked with some concern.

Zhuo Zhaojie shook his head and said, "The queen mother and grandmother are both extremely shrewd people, let's do this little thing, in front of them, where is it enough to see?" I was summoned to the palace by the queen, and what did my grandmother expect me to hide? Grandmother won't blame me. ”

Mao Gu muttered: "It would be good if this was the case. ”

"I can't blame you." Zhuo Zhaojie said calmly, "Why do you think that grandmother is also ranked first among the eldest princesses, because grandmother is the only sister of the saint, and the saint and the queen mother both respect the grandmother very much, in this case, the queen mother called me to ask, and the grandmother did not stop it, obviously the grandmother did not hide these things from the queen mother." ”

- Besides, the king of Zhending County is now a situation where he must succeed to the throne and has no way out if he does not succeed to the throne, and the beloved youngest son of Princess Jiyang, the Marquis of Yongcheng, is the mainstay of the King of Zhending...... Once the king of Zhending County loses his position, where can the father and son of the Marquis of Yongcheng get good? The eldest princess favored the younger son among the two sons, and now there is no turning back.

So in front of the queen who also supported the king of Zhending, how could the eldest princess of Jiyang hide such important news?
