Chapter 712: The princess returns home, and the prince "cheats"
In those years, in order to "fight ruthlessly with others", the reputation of "early wisdom" has been greatly enhanced, and it will not work to try to pretend to be deceived in front of the Empress Dowager, and she does not plan to pretend to be stupid, so she raised her moist eyes, and looked at the two Shangyi who could not sign that they could not resign, as if embarrassed, and the Empress Dowager raised her arms slightly, so after her aunt and Wei Zhao saluted, she quietly came out of the warm pavilion.
Yi Jingfu knelt on the ground again, this time, the Empress Dowager did not stop her, only stared at her with a little annoyance.
"Niangniang, although the concubine knows the Qin family's thoughts, and also understands that the Qin family has bad intentions, intending to win the help of the prince and consolidate the ambition of power, but Niangniang, Qin's words do make the concubine feel ashamed, the prince values love and righteousness, even if the concubine is taken captive, he will not give up, in order to save the concubine from trouble, he has repeatedly violated the holy will...... The concubines really can't see the prince taking responsibility because of this, and they are even more separated from the saint...... Niangniang, the prince is deeply trusted by the first emperor and has no second heart for the monarchy, but because of the maintenance of the concubines and the keeping of his promises, it is also a last resort...... The concubine would rather die, than let the prince be slandered by disloyalty and unfilial piety because of herself, let alone see the prince hiding for the sake of the concubine. ”
Yijing was very resolute: "As a courtier, the prince has never been wrongly responsible, and he should not be blamed by the heavenly family because of the concubine, Niangniang, it is because of the prince's affection that the concubine can not be ashamed to avoid responsibility, seeing that the grandmother and father are heartbroken, therefore, although they know the intentions of the Qin family, the concubine is also willing to accept the responsibility, and she can use it once, as long as the saint does not blame the prince for this matter, the concubine can feel at ease." ”
One would rather give up the nobility for his wife and become a concubine, and the other is willing to leave rather than involve her husband, all of them are generally resolute, which really touched the empress dowager.
In her life, although she is glorious and noble, she has also experienced turmoil and danger, and she has seen how many people have become enemies for the treachery of the word money and power, so that she has long been numb to her body and mind, and when she encounters people, she is the first to measure the benefits of gain and loss, that is, she did not want to enter this palace wall at the beginning, and expected to be quiet and have no quarrel with the world, in the end, she did not struggle slightly, and she did not even try, so she accepted her fate.
However, the human heart is not born as strong as a barrier and as cold as ice.
The Empress Dowager finally sighed: "Wrongs, you two children, the mourning family is really ......" She shook her head, for some reason, her eyes were a little sour.
In this world, there are always dogmas and rituals that frame people's words and deeds and trade-offs.
However, there are often exceptions in the world, and the Empress Dowager thought at this time that if Yu Feng really values love and remembers kindness, it will not be a bad thing.
What she must not bear is to let the Qin family get her wish and succeed in her plan.
"Get up!" Drink heavily.
This voice was not warm, but it was relieved to hear it in Yijing's ears.
"Jing girl, what I said today, you should keep it in mind." The Empress Dowager had a cold face, and when she saw that Yijing was standing up straight, she said again: "The meaning of the Holy Lord is obvious, but I will never allow the Qin family to be named by the clan, you listen to me, and the matter of separation must not be mentioned again." ”
"Then the prince ......," Yijing said boldly.
"You don't have to worry about him!" The Empress Dowager said angrily: "You listen well, you are returning to Ning, because he has been away from Beijing for a long time, Shangyuan has a lot of worries, and he knows that he can't go to the vassal to stay in Kyoto for a long time, so he worries about Shangyuan for two years before returning home to live." ”
The Empress Dowager said and considered, but her tone gradually softened again: "And because your three younger sisters see that their marriage is decided, and happy events in the Guogong Mansion will be frequent, it is also customary for you to return home and get along with your sisters day and night...... In short, the matter of harmony and separation is terminated here at the mourning family, and it can no longer be mentioned. ”
Even if how to quell the rumors and dismiss the Empress Dowager did not mention anything, Yijing also understood that she could only accept it when she saw it, at least the Empress Dowager had hints and would not hold Yu Feng responsible, and she did not mean to beat the mandarin ducks.
She obediently agreed.
The Empress Dowager stiffened her face for a while, and in the end she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, pulled Yijing over, and patted her shoulder twice: "Go back and talk to Shangyuan, the mourning family will be your husband and wife, so that she doesn't have to worry, as for the second sister-in-law...... The mourning family will wait and see, and see what other means the Qin family has. ”
As soon as Qin Ziruo was mentioned, the Empress Dowager's face was not good, if there was no Miss Qin's "persuasion" this time, she was not sure whether this matter was the mastermind of the Qin family, or the means of the Son of Heaven, but with Yijing's complaint of retreating into advance, the Empress Dowager was already convinced that this incident was inseparable from the Qin family, and the reason why she let Yi Jing temporarily stay in the Guogong Mansion for the reason of "harmony and departure" was that she also wanted to test and see what happened to Yu Feng next, and secondly, it was also intended to make Qin Ziruo think that he would take advantage of his wishes, and then see how Qin Xiang would meet and what the Son of Heaven would do.
After all, at this time, the Empress Dowager still has no intention of competing with the Son of Heaven, and really moved out of the edict of the first emperor to take over government affairs, and put the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair, the best result is that the Son of Heaven reflects on himself, and no longer suppresses the Su and Yan families according to the will of the Empress Dowager, and alienates the Qin Xiang, with the assistance of good ministers, the Empress Dowager can be regarded as living up to the trust of the first emperor, after all, the Son of Heaven is also the blood of the first emperor, and it is her own grandson, and it is enough to set things right.
Although the "touching with emotion" of the beautiful scenery made the Queen Mother's heart soft, in the end, it is still different from intimacy, even if it can make the Queen Mother feel the idea of protection, the key is the word interest.
If Qin Zi is more anxious, the more disgusted and resistant the Empress Dowager becomes, with this, at least the time for "warmth" will be greatly reduced, and there will be no more plans to punish Yu Feng.
The beautiful scenery is also considered to have achieved the goal.
"Since you are idle, you might as well come to the palace to walk around more often when you have time, so as not to let others see the clues." The Empress Dowager finally did not forget to advise: "If it is known that you asked for and left, there will be rumors that there will be regeneration, saying that you are weak-hearted, and you will be more and more convinced of those speculative talks, I know that you are an understanding person, and you will not cower in front of people, I don't bother to remind you what to do, Jing girl, mourning today's words, temporarily hide Yuanyang, you swear to me." ”
Yijing hesitated slightly.
The Empress Dowager slapped again: "I am planning for you, after all, I have lived for most of my life and intrigue with others, I know a little bit more about the hearts of the world than you, you said the words of harmony this time, Yuanyang is bound to be sad, but sadness is one thing, if it really makes the Qin family take advantage of the loophole, he is not credible, not to mention that the second sister-in-law is a soft-hearted and soft-eared, soft grinding and hard soaking, if Yuanyang can really withstand it, it is worth your today." ”
Yijing was embarrassed, and she was a little reluctant in her heart, and blushed slightly: "The concubine can trust the prince...... is the old princess, and she has already been reversed, but of course this matter cannot be said to the queen mother.
However, he still swore with his palms up, promising not to publicize the things that the Empress Dowager had promised first.
But it's just that at the end of the day, the Empress Dowager heard that Yu Feng had just left the palace, and after learning that Yi Jing had returned to her parents' house early and invited her, she immediately went to the Weiguo Mansion.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help curling the corners of her lips again, in this way, Qin Ziruo was purely in vain, but instructed Aunt Ru: "Tomorrow morning, King Zhaochu will come to see you." ”
In fact, early this morning, Yijing explained to the old princess that the branches and ends were all gone, and the old princess was willing to let go, and the eldest princess was determined to be the mastermind of the Son of Heaven as early as when the rumors spread, Qin Xiang helped the situation, and she was indignant for half a month, but she also understood the Empress Dowager's thoughts, and did not "kill" Ci'an Palace to persecute her, but when she heard her son say that the king wanted to "tear down the stage behind his back" to attack Qin Xiang, he raised his hands in favor, and even shouted back to Su Lian to explain - the dowry given by the eldest princess to her only daughter was not a money industry, but the old situation of the Feifeng Department at the beginning, The little aunt has a number of extremely important connections in her hands, and Uncle Jia entered the palace guard to take charge of the Yulin when he was the first emperor, and the power should not be underestimated, the Empress Dowager appreciates Uncle Jia very much, when the Wu case is over, Dali Siqing is demoted and transferred, and the Son of Heaven appoints Uncle Jia as Dali Siqing, which shows the weight.
Yu Liu took over Uncle Jia's subordinates, and most of the palace guards were controlled by the Empress Dowager.
This is obviously the root cause of the Son of Heaven's worries, how can he be willing to be threatened? The Empress Dowager has a loving heart, but the Son of Heaven has long since dismissed her as a grandmother.
Therefore, the Son of Heaven reused yellow pottery, intending to take charge of the Jingwei, so as to alleviate the worries of the palace guards in the hands of the Empress Dowager and regain the initiative.
The Patriotic Mansion is bound to be suppressed by the Son of Heaven, and the Empress Dowager's intention to set things right is just wishful thinking.
Yi Jing is a woman in the end, although she intends to use Qin Ziruo to disgust the Empress Dowager in order to protect herself, but after the goal is achieved, she thinks of the Empress Dowager's maintenance and feels very nostalgic, she originally "colluded" with Yu Feng first, even the old princess is also an ally, and now she is just pretending to be confused by Qin Ziruo, how can Yi Jing worry that Qin Ziruo really has a loophole to exploit, but she has already sworn to the Empress Dowager, she is really sad in her heart, but she doesn't know how to explain it to Yu Feng.
At the end of the day, I accompanied the eldest princess to say a break, and sent the little aunt away, and when Yijing arrived at Guan Sui Yuan, he heard that Yu Feng was "chasing".
Sad.
A few maids who were waiting for him followed Yijing to Ning, but except for Xia Ke and Qiu Shuang, everyone didn't know about the princess's "self-invitation and departure", and they were worried for a day, and then they learned that the princess was just going home to live, and they were all relieved.
Yijing was embarrassed, and seemed absent-minded, and it took a while to wake up that the prince was also as cold as ice, sitting sullenly on the side and drinking tea, and did not ask Ci'an Palace.
The princess couldn't help but get nervous, she said this method last night, insisted on implementing it, and did not consult Yu Feng too much, and immediately acted vigorously today, thinking that Yu Feng understood that she did not really plan to reconcile and leave, not to be angry, but she didn't seem to agree with this situation.
Only she opened her mouth, and she didn't know where to start, she choked, and then Yu Feng raised her eyes coldly, and the princess became more and more cramped, and her eyes were really red.
The prince immediately "disarmed and surrendered", and angrily put the tea: "Do you still know that your heart is weak?" But he got up and stepped forward, and helplessly hugged Yijing's shoulder: "You know what I care about the most, but it's scary, at first I also used the birthday gift of that year to 'threaten', and you also know that this matter may be self-defeating, in case the Queen Mother is approved, how do you turn around, and you really can't be separated from me?" First, force me to say yes with your promises. ”
"It's not self-defeating." Yi Jing hurriedly explained: "The Empress Dowager heard that Qin Ziruo was persuaded to leave later, and she must know that she had ill intentions......" reacted for a while, her shame disappeared, and her apricot eyes glared: "You are talking to me!" ”
Yu Feng laughed at this time, and bent his finger and tapped Yijing's forehead: "Come on, what are you worried about?" Even if you don't say it, I can guess the result...... Who made you think of this method yesterday and deliberately tricked me first...... Don't worry too much, the Empress Dowager asked you to hide it from me, and she also wanted to see if I really had the heart to form an alliance with the Qin family, but I was not at ease. ”
Yijing was surprised: "You have already thought of ......"
"It's a normal thing, if the Empress Dowager really trusted me, she wouldn't have been embarrassed at the beginning, and she was in her position, and she should have been." Yu Feng sat down and shook his head slightly: "If it can be solved by really touching people, I don't need to have the idea of breaking the cauldron from the beginning, I am suspicious and self-dedicated, otherwise the first emperor will not be at ease, for the Empress Dowager, in the end, it is different from negligence, and it is common to take care of the saint, the Weiguo Mansion is not surnamed Yu, and there is the love of the grandmother, the Empress Dowager will be biased, and I and my father are the clan in the end, and the power is in the hands, and now I am afraid of Su and Chu, and the Empress Dowager will naturally hesitate. ”
"I swear an oath today, and I will not leak the secret of heaven again, the prince will measure it himself, and don't want to talk from me again." Seeing that Yu Feng was just playing tricks on herself, the princess was "bold and reckless" again.
Yu Feng didn't mind: "I know what to do, it's just that I rely on you, I don't go home at night, the princess doesn't talk about the rules, the world is invincible to the overall situation, and the national law does not stipulate that the daughter-in-law returns home, and the son-in-law cannot stay overnight." ”
View: ......
Yu Feng was full of solemnity: "In this way, in order to make Qin Xiang more and more impatient, and force the Empress Dowager to make a decision as soon as possible, I originally planned to preemptively let those who admonish themselves take on the lawsuit, but the princess is so sudden that she has a divine idea, and the plan will naturally have to be changed, it is better to let Qin Xiang cast a spell first, and then we will counterattack, and the empress dowager will be relieved." ”
Yi Jing was groaning, thinking about how to add fuel to the fire and strike while the iron was hot, and heard Yu Feng say a word again.
"This time, by the way, Zhuo Shangshu was pulled off the horse, he sat in the first position of the Ministry of Officials, and he sat for too long, and he has really ...... recently. It's overbearing. ”
Zhuo Shangshu has already become a close minister of the Son of Heaven and a "secret weapon" of Qin Xiang, once this is dismounted......
Yijing sighed for the Son of Heaven.
