Chapter Seventy-Seven: Return to Beijing
"Wan'er, don't scare your father, Your Majesty will not allow a fool to marry His Royal Highness King Xing, if you are stupid at this time, our whole family will suffer."
Chen Wan'er had never seen such a side of Chen Wanyan, so she suddenly felt very funny, and said with a smile: "Dad, my daughter didn't lie to you, your son-in-law is still your son-in-law." ”
Chen Wanyan cried and shouted: "It's over, this is not a light disease, and I don't know if the imperial doctor in the palace can cure you." ”
Chen Wan'er, who originally thought it was funny, slowly felt a headache at the moment, how could she tell the truth, her father didn't believe it, is the trust between people so vulnerable.
"Please tell me what His Royal Highness King Daxing is called."
Seeing that Chen Wan'er was so polite, the eunuch who passed the decree was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground, what is Chen Wan'er's identity, the concubine of Xingwang Zhu Houxi, what is the identity of Xingwang, and the favorite of Emperor Zhengde.
"The princess can't be like this, the slaves and maids can't afford to wait, and the name of His Royal Highness Xingwang, I don't dare to say it directly."
Chen Wan'er didn't expect that the eunuch who delivered the decree was so cowardly, and he didn't even dare to mention Zhu Houxi's name, it was just a waste to go home.
Chen Wan'er turned her head and continued to persuade Chen Wanyan: "Dad, Gongzi Jia is the real prince, and the real prince is Gongzi Jia." ”
What is Jia Gongzi's true prince, Chen Wanyan only felt dizzy, and didn't understand what his daughter was talking about.
At this time, Zhu Houxi strolled in.
Seeing Zhu Houxi appear, the officials and eunuchs of the Ministry of Rites who came to announce the decree immediately bowed and saluted.
"Lord Wang."
"You're here, come and explain to my dad."
Chen Wan'er seems to have seen a savior, and of course it is better for Zhu Houxi to explain some things himself.
Zhu Houxi walked quickly to Chen Wan'er's father and daughter's side, helped Chen Wanyan up and said: "This king is the king of Da Mingxing, and he didn't reveal his identity before, but he was afraid that he would leak the news and add disaster to Wan'er. ”
In fact, Zhengde's decree was the result of Zhu Houxi's message, and now he said this just to make Chen Wanyan feel at ease.
Chen Wanyan almost collapsed on the ground again, but fortunately, Zhu Houxi's eyes were quick and he didn't cause a tragedy.
"Are you really the prince?"
"It's like a fake."
"Wan'er has become a princess?"
"The Holy Purpose is this."
Chen Wanyan is of course happy when her daughter becomes a princess, and she is very happy.
"Okay, good, no wonder the old man saw you for the first time, he thought you were a talent, and you were really a dragon son and a dragon grandson with an extraordinary bearing."
In order to hug Zhu Houxi's thighs, Chen Wanyan didn't want the temperament of a scholar, and slapped Zhu Houxi's ass on the spot.
Zhu Houxi is also recalling, if he is not mistaken, the first person who fell in love with him should be Chen Wanyan's wife, Chen Wan'er's mother Ji.
However, as a family, Zhu Houxi decided not to expose Chen Wanyan's lies and save some face for this old man in his fifties who has not yet reached high school.
After handling the affairs of the Chen family properly, Zhu Houxi ordered to return to the capital, anyway, in a few days, the Chen family would move their family to the capital and send Chen Wan'er to Beijing to marry Zhu Houxi.
Leopard room.
Because Zhu Houxi left Zhengde, who had no one to talk about his heart for many days, he was furious in the palace.
"Deficit and deficit, what do I raise you for? Every year, the household department is in deficit, where is my money and Daming's money? ”
"Damn it."
The household officials led by Shi Jue knelt on the ground collectively.
"Big brother."
Zhu Houxi's voice was simply a natural sound for Shi Yu and the others, because they knew that Zhu Houxi's arrival would definitely save their lives.
Sure enough, when he heard Zhu Houxi's voice, Zhengde, who was still domineering, immediately changed to another face.
Seeing Zhu Houxi walking into the hall, Zhengde said kindly: "The emperor's brother is back?" Is it going well? ”
Zhu Houxi went to meet his future princess before, how could this matter go well or not, but it can be seen that Zhengde is very concerned about Zhu Houxi's marriage.
Zhu Houxi saw that Shi Jue, the young head of the household department, was still kneeling on the ground, thought for a while and said to Zhengde: "Big brother, let them step down first, and the younger brother will slowly tell the eldest brother." ”
Zhengde waved his hand without thinking, asked the people in the household department to retreat, and then waited for Zhu Houxi's answer.
Zhu Houyu immediately told everything he had in Yuancheng, and when Zhengde knew that someone was going to assassinate Chen Wan'er, he was so angry that he glared angrily, and then when he heard that Zhu Houyu and Chen Wan'er were fishing by the lake, and set off fireworks to harvest their hearts, they smiled and danced, as if he was the one who chased the princess.
After Zhu Houxi finished saying everything, Zhengde thought for a while and said: "The assassination of the princess is not trivial, this is to let Qian Ning send Jinyiwei to investigate, and the emperor's brother should not be involved in danger." ”
Zhu Houxi, who originally wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly by himself, immediately obediently chose not to interfere in this matter after knowing what Zhengde meant.
Seeing Zhu Houxi so obedient, Zhengde nodded with satisfaction and said: "When the Chen family comes to the capital, I will personally preside over the marriage for you, let you marry the princess in a beautiful manner, and wait for you to lead the troops to the north." ”
Zhu Houxi was surprised and said, "Big brother is still going to fight Bu Chi this time?" ”
Zhengde shook his head and said, "This time I want to fight Altan Khan, and I want to get rid of this cancer." ”
Zhu Houxi didn't understand, he was still fighting Bu Chi last time, how could he change it to me this time, it stands to reason that Zhengde should chase and fight according to a tribe.
Seeing that Zhu Houxi was puzzled, Zhengde explained with a smile: "The emperor's brother doesn't know, the last time I beat Bu Chi, I just wanted to let Bu Chi know that if Bu Chi is in trouble, I will not help, this time I will lead troops to attack Meda, Bu Chi will also be a watcher, I just want to divide them, let them doubt each other, and no longer trust each other." ”
With Zhengde's answer, Zhu Houxi quickly understood the meaning, and praised Zhengde in his heart, Zhengde deserves to be called a martial artist, and he is simply a geek in war.
"My brother has been taught."
Zhengde smiled: "Okay, it's not too late, I won't leave you for dinner today, you can go back to the palace quickly, don't let your mother and imperial sister wait in a hurry." ”
Zhu Houxi didn't think much about it, and nodded so that Zhengde could say goodbye and return to Xingwangfu.
It's just that Zhu Houxi didn't know that after he left, Zhengde lost his temper again.
On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the nineteenth year of Zhengde, this year's imperial city is deserted more than usual, without any extravagant and wasteful activities, and everyone is living in peace.
Zhengde hid in the leopard's room, accompanied only by Wei Bin, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go to Xingwangfu to find His Highness?"
"Now that the treasury is seriously in deficit, the little money left by Liu Jin and Jiang Bin still has to be kept for military expenses, where is there spare money to buy gifts for the imperial brother, it is not good to go empty-handed after all, last time I didn't leave the imperial brother to eat in the leopard room in order to save money."
