Chapter 193: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
Zhu Jingkun is still cordial and respectful to the Zheng family, and his attitude seems to be no different from the past, and he has repeatedly comforted Taiwei Zheng and the Wu family, saying that he has discussed the matter of his cousin with Concubine Zheng, and he will give her a good future, and he will never let her be wronged.
Although Taiwei Zheng was skeptical, he also knew that since Zhu Jingkun said so, the treatment of his daughter in the palace should not be too heavy, and the most likely thing is to marry Zhu Jingcheng, the son of the king of Dongping, who is the other protagonist of this scandal. Although his daughter will not be able to enter the East Palace in the future and give birth to a grandson who can inherit the throne, he will be extremely disappointed, but it is better to become the princess of the county than to be forced out of the house because of the loss of her reputation. As long as the daughter gets married as soon as possible, this scandal will soon be forgotten. The Zheng family's face can be saved somewhat.
It's just one thing that makes him uneasy. That's ...... The Dongping Wang's family seems to be not in harmony with the saints, and they are even suspected of rebellion. After their daughter got married, their Zheng family was connected with the Dongping Palace, in case there was a good ......
Taiwei Zheng was worried, but he didn't show anything on his face, but just knelt down with a look of shame and said: "It's all the ministers and daughters who are not strict, which caused Lijun to accidentally fall into the trap of others for a while, damaging her reputation." Now that things have come to this point, the noble concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness are still thinking about the reputation of the minister's family, and they are trying their best to plan for Lijun, and the minister is really ashamed. The Buddha said that where there is a cause, there must be an effect. Lijun planted the cause herself, let her bear the consequences by herself, and it is also because she does not have this blessing. The status of the noble concubine and the third highness is precious, and you must not waste your mind for her, let alone disobey the will of the queen mother and the saint for her. If the concubine and the third highness are wronged because of this, the minister will never give up."
Zheng Lijun's pupils shrank, but she quickly calmed down and knelt down with her mother and brothers. She understood her father's nature, and he would say such things, presumably to make the three princes more biased towards their Zheng family. Don't say anything else, just listen to her father's first sentence, doesn't she know that he is defending her?
If it was in the past, the third prince would have been on her side, angry that she was framed, and pity her for being wronged. It's just that...... Thinking of what the third prince said to her before leaving the palace today, her confidence was greatly reduced.
The third prince, Zhu Jingkun, seemed to be moved by his uncle's heartfelt confession, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said sincerely: "What did uncle say?" You are my uncle, the brother of my mother, Lijun also grew up with me, to me is like a sister, she has such a thing, how can I ignore it? Don't worry, the Huang family is my people, and as soon as I heard about it, I sent someone to inform me. The son of the Huang family will not shout nonsense outside. As for the other people present, most of them are children of official families, and no matter how stubborn they are, they all know the seriousness of the matter. It's just that after all, the matter has passed through the eyes of outsiders, and now the plan can only be to give my cousin to marry Dongping Palace. Fortunately, my cousin and Jing Cheng are the same age and appearance, and it is a good marriage. The mother concubine said, it just so happened that the queen mother was optimistic about the candidate for Donggong Liangdi, and was planning to mention it to the queen mother early in the morning, so she simply said this matter tomorrow, and it also saved the long night and dreams, and there were not long eyes to pass some inconsistencies into the palace......"
Taiwei Zheng and Wu's hearts were both tight, why didn't they know that this was Zhu Jingkun reminding them and warning them? Indeed, if the queen mother can marry and Lijun becomes the concubine of the prince of Dongping, it is already the most ideal result.
Thinking of this, Wu asked with some hesitation: "The concubine is willing to call the shots, and our family is relieved, but it's just ...... I don't know where the prince of Dongping is...... What is the meaning? Lijun ...... back ...... who always have to live with him"
Taiwei Zheng also nodded and said: "Yes, our family has never had any contact with the Dongping Palace, and I have only met the prince a few times, I don't know what the temperament of the prince is, and he suddenly wants to be a relative, and he is a little bottomless in his heart, I am afraid that he and Lijun will not get along with each other." He looked at Zhu Jingkun with a bit of temptation in his eyes.
Zhu Jingkun smiled faintly: "Uncle and aunt are too worried, Cousin Lijun has both talent and appearance, and is noble, how can Jingcheng not be satisfied?" Everyone is a relative, and there is little contact, because Uncle Wang's family is in the fiefdom all the year round, and the uncle is stationed in Beijing, the two places are separated, and there are naturally fewer meetings, but the relationship between relatives will not change because of this. After my cousin got married, if my uncle and aunt were worried, I could often write to each other, and my aunt could also visit me from time to time. My mother and I will also miss our cousin, but we can't be separated because we are married far away. ”
When Zheng Taiwei and his wife heard this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that marrying the Dongping Mansion will not make the emperor and the third prince suspicious of the Zheng family, but the Zheng family should also pay attention to the movements of the Dongping Palace at any time in the future.
Zheng Taiwei secretly thought in his heart that if his daughter could give birth to a grandson for Dongping Mansion earlier, it would be that the prince would have no sons, and he would have to rely on him, and he could become the master mother of Dongping Mansion, which was quite noble and decent.
The Wu family is secretly worried, her daughter is married to a prince, which is decent, but listening to the meaning of the third prince, it seems that she wants her to be a royal masterpiece, but in this way, isn't it too dangerous? Dongping Mansion is too far away from Beijing, in case there is a bad one, the Zheng family is out of reach......
Zheng Bo'an and Zheng Jizhong had their own thoughts, but Zheng Lijun was pale, her cheeks were red, her eyes were faintly filled with fire, and she gritted her teeth and asked Zhu Jingkun: "Who is the candidate for Prince Liangdi...... Settled so quickly? Your Highness shouldn't have known about it a long time ago, right? But you came here to say good things, but you deceived me so hard" She really thought ...... My cousin really thought about her, so he gave her a final warning, making her think that she still had a chance......
Zhu Jingkun didn't speak, just looked at her lightly, and there was no emotion in his eyes. Taiwei Zheng was shocked in his heart, and turned around and angrily scolded his daughter: "His Royal Highness Shut up the third highness is kind enough to run for you, how can you be so rude?" Wu's face sank even more, walked up to his daughter in two steps, and grabbed her wrist: "Don't mess around, hurry up and go back to the room for me, aren't you ashamed enough?" Zheng Bo'an and Zheng Jizhong also stepped forward to persuade Zhu Jingkun to go to the front hall to watch tea.
Zhu Jingkun raised his hand to stop them: "Let me say a few words alone with my cousin." The Zheng family looked at each other, and finally left one after another at the signal of Mrs. Zheng. Zheng Jizhong finally closed the door with a backhand.
Only Zhu Jingkun and Zheng Lijun were left in the room, and they were silent for a while. After a while, the former said lightly: "The candidate is the queen's mother, in fact, it is also the intention of the father, and they have already greeted the Dongyang Hou Mansion, and they are very satisfied." But before the will is given, there is room for reversal. Mother and I ...... Originally, it was intended to fight for you. ”
Zheng Lijun showed a sneer and glanced at him: "So, as soon as I was framed, you were afraid that I would bring your reputation, so you hurriedly gave people down?" Which family's daughter is so outstanding? ”
Zhu Jingkun ignored the provocation in her tone, and just smiled slightly: "Framed?" That's a good excuse too. ”
Zheng Lijun's hands trembled, gritted her teeth and said, "What is it that is not framed?" Your guards were also bribed, and you don't know what kind of prince you are like this? What emperor to be? I can't even control the people around me......"
"Are you talking about Lu Jingxiao, how many of them?" Zhu Jingkun interrupted her, "Those are all people who I spent four or five years working hard to subdue, it is impossible to betray the master, you don't need to say more." I know how much they are upset with you, but that's because you're doing little things behind my back, and they're worried that I'm going to be affected by you, which is really nothing. Good talents will naturally have their own ideas, and if they don't have their own ideas, they are wooden people, and no matter how talented they are, they are useless. What I need is a talent who is loyal to me, not a mediocre talent who only knows how to obey orders" He raised his eyes to look at Zheng Lijun, "The Gu Wenhui you are talking about has never been out at all, and where you passed, passers-by only remembered your big carriage and escorting guards, and there was no Gu family carriage." And that road is exactly the route you take when you go to Wu's house on weekdays. Lu Jingxiao: They reported to me separately, which is consistent with the truth, and there is no contradiction between them. I don't understand, where do you get the confidence that I will ignore the facts and only listen to your side of the story? Or do you think that you only need to force your arguments and the world will believe you? ”
Zheng Lijun suddenly sneered: "I see, it seems that you didn't believe me at all, but you just ......" She smiled and looked at Zhu Jingkun coldly, "Some people believed Du Yuanru's words back then, why didn't anyone believe me today?" Since you said that, I have already come to my senses, and I am determined to leave behind my dignity, for the sake of the Zheng family, and for your throne, I will serve Du Yuanru as the main room, and bow down and be a small ...... Even if you have any careful thoughts in the past, you have forgotten about it. I've done this, why don't you believe me when it's time to come? ”
Zhu Jingkun looked at her with a strange gaze: "Believe you? Lijun, there are some things, since you have already done them, don't regret that after listening to my words, didn't you already choose Zhu Jingcheng? Otherwise, why rush to his appointment? ”
Zheng Lijun's face changed suddenly: "What appointment are you going to?" Zhu Jingcheng made an appointment with someone else to be there."
Zhu Jingkun was a little impatient: "The person who asked him to make an appointment is you, this is the letter he personally told me, it was sent yesterday, and the concubine suddenly summoned you into the palace, are you anxious?" So when I saw you, you had a listless look on your face. When I send someone to send you out of the palace, you don't even bother to go home and send the guards away, and go directly to see him. When he heard that I was going to give you to him, he was a little surprised, but he laughed very happily, which showed that he was quite happy with this family affair. Isn't that what you want? What else are you struggling with here? ”
Zheng Lijun's eyes widened: "You said he ...... He said I asked him to go? "Why? Why did Zhu Jingcheng tell such a lie? In this way, no matter what she says, no one will believe it...... He ...... to her Also admiration?
Her heart was in chaos, and before she could figure it out, Zhu Jingkun had already made up her mind: "Okay, okay, although you are not secret, you have caused people to break through, and your reputation is a little unpleasant, but it can be regarded as your opinion, what are you making trouble here?" Don't tell me you regret it again, then I'm going to look down on you."
Zheng Lijun raised her head and glared at him deadly: "I didn't do it." It's you who I choose."
Zhu Jingkun frowned, only feeling very disappointed in his heart: "Where are all your previous wisdom and decisiveness...... Okay, whether you regret it or not, there's nothing more to say about it when it comes to this point. For the sake of many years of love, I remind you: Don't let your uncle and aunt know your little thoughts, otherwise your uncle won't spare you after marrying into the palace, what should you do, you don't need my instructions, you should know, right? Don't have thoughts that shouldn't be, your family is still under my nose" After saying that, he turned around, threw his sleeves and left, not even leaving Zheng Lijun with a look.
Zheng Lijun watched him walk farther and farther, recalling the disappointment and disdain in his eyes when he looked at him just now, and suddenly felt that he had no strength in his body.
Maybe...... She should be glad that Zhu Jingcheng is happy about their marriage......
Xicheng District, the back door of the Huang family's mansion. An inconspicuous carriage stayed in the alley for a while, and two powerful mothers-in-law came out of the house, pushed a woman who was tightly tied up and covered her head into the car, handed the coachman a penny, and gave a few words, and the coachman answered, and with a flick of the whip, the carriage drove away from the back door. The two mothers-in-law smiled with satisfaction as they listened to the faint crying sound coming from the carriage.
The carriage drove all the way south, and soon left the inner city, and soon came to a bustling street, where there were green buildings and Chu pavilions, and women were full of beautiful voices. The coachman wiped his face and glared greedily at the woman standing on the side of the street beckoning customers, but did not stop the carriage, but drove straight ahead until it turned into a deserted alley.
There was already a man in a low hat waiting in the alley, and when he looked up and saw him coming, he took out a blue cloth bag and shook it.
The coachman was overjoyed, hurriedly jumped out of the car and grabbed the cloth bag, checked it, his eyes lit up, and smiled at the man: "Thank you, the rewarder is in the car, and there is no hair missing" and took the initiative to pull the woman in the car down and take off the cloth covering her head. It is the beautiful maid who is laughing with Huang Gongzi today.
She looked at the man wearing the hat, her expression seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, after the coachman untied her, she wiped away the tears on her face, and blessed the man: "My lord." ”
The man nodded, turned to the coachman, and said, "Go ahead, you know what to say." ”
"It's a small understanding, you can rest assured"
The coachman happily drove away, and the man wearing the hat pushed open the door next to him and pointed inside: "Your brother is inside, and there are prepared household registration papers, as well as some clothes." Someone will send you out of the capital at dawn, and from now on, you will no longer be a lowly member, and what kind of life you want to live depends on your ability. ”
The beautiful maid's eyes were red, and she solemnly saluted him again: "Thank you, sir." After a pause, he was a little worried: "My lord, what you ordered was told by the previous adults...... It's not the same, doesn't it matter? ”
"I have my own opinion, you should leave with your younger brother as soon as possible, so that the young master of the Huang family will know that you were sent away by Mrs. Huang, and then send someone to look for you."
When the beautiful maid heard this, she hurriedly entered the house, and after a while, the cries of men and women were heard. The man with the hat looked around and left in the night.
It's just that he didn't leave far away, and a carriage suddenly stopped in front of him, and the curtain was lifted, revealing a familiar face: "Go east, get on the car"
Liu Dongxing paused at his feet: "Brother Luo? You...... When did you come back? ”
Luo Mingmin sneered: "You have done such a big thing, how can I not come back?" ”
