Chapter 247: Sudden Change
Xiao Lingjiang stepped forward to investigate, only to find that the two maidservants had been cursed, and if someone else asked about something, they couldn't say anything even if they knew.
However, this curse is incomprehensible to others, and if it is forcibly lifted, these two maidservants are afraid that they will also die immediately, so why should they be interrogated again?
In this regard, she can only sigh.
Time is in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month, and the affairs of the Mei family have come to an end temporarily.
The Mei clan has ill intentions, so naturally there is no good end, and Mei Shilang Xuanheng is in a high position in the Divine Palace, and now that he has been taken, although the emperor did not immediately want his life, it is not much better.
And the queen and the crown prince, although they found out that they did not know about Mei's plan, nor did they have any collusion with them, but they were affected a lot.
In this matter, although the crown prince and the queen are innocent, but the two of them were so Yongmu, no, Mei Zenniang was easily used, and the emperor was angry.
He is angry that the queen can't even recognize his daughter, and the prince is even led by the nose, if it really makes people succeed, I am afraid that the future world of the Great Zhou will either be handed over to the Mei family, or the Shengong will be won.
He was even more afraid that he had allowed such a person with ulterior motives to lurk by his side for so long.
After this incident, the emperor's previous expectation of the crown prince's rise completely disappeared without a trace.
If it is said that King Duan fell before, although he is not satisfied with the crown prince, he still feels that even if he has no talent and means to be a king, he can be reluctantly a king with Yongmu to complement him in the future, and a wave of loyal ministers to watch.
But this time, he completely changed his mind.
As a monarch, it's okay if you don't have any talent, but if you blindly ask people to lead the nose. It is difficult to say who this Great Zhou world belongs to in the future.
From the case of private copper and iron mining in Linchuan, to now, the prince has never made any big mistakes, but he blindly asks others to take advantage of them, which is a big mistake for the prince.
There was a slight depth in his eyes, and then he called out in a cold voice: "Come here, spread my will!" ”
Xiao Lingjiang was in the mansion and soon received news from the palace.
The emperor was angry, took a lot of power from the prince's hands, and ordered him to introspect in the East Palace, at the same time, the queen was also ordered by him to be grounded in the Middle Palace, copying books and Buddhist scriptures every day, and not stepping out of the palace door for half a step.
As for the affairs of the harem, they are all handed over to Concubine De Niangniang to deal with for the time being.
This concubine was born in a famous family but has no children under her knees, only got two daughters and married early, she is elegant and fair, and she does not compete for favor every day, only a rich idler, if she wants to take charge of the court on her behalf, no one will be dissatisfied.
When Princess Yongle heard about this, she cried and went to intercede for her mother and brother, but the emperor also reprimanded her and ordered her to go back to her princess's mansion.
As soon as Yongle returned, the female officials in the palace led people to send more than a dozen portraits, all of whom were young men with extraordinary family backgrounds.
"Princess, the sage said that you are not too young, so it is not good to continue to delay. Do you like these Lang Jun? As she spoke, the female official waved her hand, and the palace maid beside her hurriedly unfolded the picture scroll one by one, so that Yongle could see it clearly.
The portrait of Lang Jun is tall, short, fat and thin, there are those who are in the wind of Yushu, and there are also those who are powerful and powerful, and there are several rows of small characters written on the side of the portrait, which clearly introduces their temperament and family background.
Now that the queen mother and the royal brother are grounded, where does Yongle have the heart to talk about marriage at this time?
What's more, what she likes is Cui Shu, the eleventh lang of the Cui family, although the dozen or so Lang Jun on this portrait are not bad, which one can compare to him!
She stood up irritably, and with a wave of her hand, scratched the portrait closest to her in front of her.
Impatiently rubbed the paper ball in his hand and threw it to the ground, Yongle said angrily: "I haven't taken a fancy to any of them, don't bother me again, go back to the palace!" ”
The female official was not frightened, and leaned over to pick up the paper ball on the ground with a blank expression: "The princess is anxious about the queen mother and His Royal Highness the prince now, we know it." But no matter how urgent it is, it shouldn't live up to the saint's kindness, right? ”
She looked at Yongle meaningfully: "You see, these family Langjun are specially selected for you by the saints. The princess is like this, but we courtiers and maids don't know how to explain to the saints......"
Yongle met her gaze, and couldn't help but palpitate in his heart, yes, this is what his father meant.
She went into the palace today to cry and beg her father, and then the palace sent a portrait of the family Langjun for her to choose, and her father told her that she should marry someone with interest.
In the past, there was a queen mother and a royal brother who were favored, and she could always delay this matter, and she kept following Cui Shiyi Lang unscrupulously.
What about his own inadvertence? People say that the fierce girl is afraid of pestering Lang, and now it is not impossible to grind him in turn.
What's more, she is the dignity of a princess, and what young girl in the world is as noble as her? Even if he doesn't want it now, he won't have to.
But now that the queen mother and the royal brother are grounded, no one speaks to her anymore.
Father's death, is he really angry with them? Will he really force himself to marry himself?
What can I do?
Yongle was worried about his mother and brother, and worried about his own life events, and his thoughts were rolling for a while, and he was even more anxious.
But she also knows that now is not the time for her willfulness, if she provokes her father and marries her in a hurry, she will have nowhere to say it.
Yongle had to press the anxiety in his heart and nodded: "This is the kindness of my father, and I should not live up to my daughter." It's just that my mind is chaotic at the moment, and I don't know how to choose. Why don't you leave these scrolls with my aunt first, and I'll look at them one by one later, and when I have something I like, I'll give them to my father immediately, okay? ”
The female official did not force her, smiled and ordered someone to put away the scroll for the time being, and handed it to the servants and maids in the princess's mansion: "This is a lifelong event, and the princess should think carefully about it." ”
As she spoke, she said to Yongle again: "The sage has issued an order, if Princess Dao sees her favorite on these picture scrolls, just choose it." Although it is inconvenient for the queen to preside over at the moment, Concubine De is also methodical. At that time, you will definitely be done for the princess, and you will definitely not be wronged. ”
"Look, the saint loves your ......"
Love dearly?
Yongle nodded as if crying, but his heart was cold.
Listening to her father's meaning, does she have to choose someone from these dozen or so portraits? Moreover, this marriage was not intended for her mother to be purchased for her......
Now that the queen mother is grounded, the harem is handed over to Concubine De, she thinks it is temporary, but when will this "temporary" be?
Even in her marriage, her father had no intention of letting the queen mother interfere, was this really annoying that the queen mother and the royal brother could not succeed?
That's it!
