Chapter 147: The Concubine and the Prince
The Empress Dowager's reward, just like the rain the night before, affected the entire Longyin City, some people feel that they have to think about it carefully, maybe it is related to the position under their buttocks, and some people are just watching the excitement and talking nonsense, and it is not a big deal.
"This matter is not as complicated as you think, on the surface, it seems to be rewarded by the Queen Mother, but in fact, it is the ...... that the Langya Mansion spent money on."
"How?"
"What strength does Langya Wangfu have, don't you know? If you want money in the palace, you will sell the land, but it is not good to say it, so you will take a form at this time. ”
"Is there still a shortage of money in the palace?"
"Your Majesty is not a person who indulges in pleasure, and the money in the treasury of the palace must be used to subsidize the treasury...... The Langya Wangfu took this land, built a bunch of manor courtyards large and small, and then sold them to the rich and wealthy at a high price, which is better than the palace directly looting from them. Got it? ”
"So...... The first emperor seems to have used similar methods, but there have been no wars or disasters in these years, and the treasury should not be short of money. ”
"No, the Lord Regent is fighting overseas, and it's almost a bottomless pit...... In particular, in terms of sailors, it is necessary to build ten Longwei-class flagships, so as to ensure that they are invincible across the seas and that the ocean routes are worry-free......"
The guests who ate and drank in the King's Evil Wind Moon Mansion seemed to know everything, as if they had installed people in the palace and knew the state of the treasury well, and even the regent's war situation was well informed.
As for the guests upstairs in Caiyun Xinghe, it is another way.
The big boat drifting on the Nanhuai River always gives people a false sense of privacy, as if what is said here, even if it is passed out, it will fall into the water and cannot reach the shore.
Lan Xinghe was wearing a light green dress, with feather eyelashes, apricot eyes full of water, red lips slightly curled, like willow branches hooking the river surface when he walked, and personally came forward to entertain Yin Su Changqing of Kyoto Prefecture and Rong Kexing, the son of Chengxin Hou.
"Master Su, Chang Baibo asked me to tell you that she is practicing kung fu these days, and she still wants to learn from you......" Lan Xinghe's eyebrows raised a flattery, and spoke softly.
"Okay, let her wait!" Su Changqing smiled.
He was originally born as a merry and talented man, and the women who faced the Goolan Washer generally would not put on a stand from the Sanpin Minister, especially this view of the galaxy, which is quite famous in Longyin City, and is highly respected by some talents, Su Changqing will not regard her as an ordinary bustard in the Qinglou.
As for Chang Baibo, it is one of the top brands of Caiyun Xinghe Building, Su Changqing has been here several times recently, and finally she spent the night.
"But you have to serve him well...... Rong Kexing is Su Changqing's brother-in-law, and occasionally helps Su Changqing to cover up, so as not to be discovered by his sister Rong Shangqing The two of them are swimming in the painting boat, Rong Kexing can understand Su Changqing's mood of indulging in the painting boat.
"Of course. Does the little marquis still want to o'clock Zhong Ling and Yuxiu tonight? "Su Changqing and Rong Kexing belong to a very important level among the frequent visitors of Caiyun Xinghe Tower.
Let them have fun in Caiyun Xinghe Building, not only is it good for the operation of the painting boat, but some of the news they occasionally leak is what Lan Xinghe cares about the most.
Rong Kexing is the eldest son of Cheng Xinhou, and Cheng Xinhou is the third son of Rong Guogong, the brother of the current Queen Mother, and the uncle of the Queen Mother.
Rong Guogong and his eldest son and second son have all been crowned, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before they accept the letter and wait for the title of duke...... That's what everyone in Kyori says anyway.
"Well, let the two of them wait in the room, and I'll go in a while." Rong Kexing smiled and nodded, for the same reason as Su Changqing, and he would maintain a gentle and elegant attitude towards Lan Xinghe.
After three rounds of drinking, Su Changqing hiccuped, waved his hand, and dismissed the girl who accompanied the wine and sang songs.
Lan Xinghe closed the door himself, then looked left and right, came to the adjacent pavilion, and entered the secret room from behind the bed, but he could hear the words of Su Changqing and Rong Kexing clearly.
"Ke Xing, your sister said...... King Langya was targeting the Rong family from the beginning? ”
"King Langya is still young, and the top priority is to be familiar with the affairs of the Kyushu Mansion and consolidate his authority, why should he target the Rong family? Brother-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense, sometimes women's families are just willful, and if they don't like it, they feel that others are targeting themselves......"
"I also think that even if King Langya is in charge of Kyushu Mansion, which is different from ordinary royal clansmen, it is still a little self-sufficient to target the Rong family."
"Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry too much, since the position of the Yin of Kyoto Prefecture is helped up by my Rong family, the Queen Mother will not take you down casually, this time it is estimated that the matter is to severely punish the king of Nanjun, and then reprimand you brother-in-law...... In short, as long as your black gauze hat does not move, you can bear some grievances to your brother-in-law. ”
"That's good." Su Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and poured a glass of wine for Rong Kexing, "What do you think about the Empress Dowager's reward for that piece of land to King Langya?" ”
"Huh...... Grandpa once proposed to the Queen Mother that the Langya Wangfu should be divided, and this land should be used by the Langya King to set up another portal. ”
I see, but it has caused a lot of criticism...... However, it's only one acre smaller than the palace, which is a bit too much. ”
"It's a bit too much, and I didn't think it would be that place...... According to the original statement, the Queen Mother seems to want King Langya to have a family or have children, so she can propose the intention of separating the family. ”
"It seems that the Queen Mother has already made up her mind about King Langya's marriage...... The Mae of the Room! Su Changqing suddenly realized and slapped the table, "The Queen Mother wants to give Fang Zhimei to King Langya." ”
"My brother-in-law is really insightful...... Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Prime Minister's Mansion to marry the Langya Palace. If you want to marry, then one of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Langya Wangfu will inevitably weaken some of the authoritative influence. ”
Rong Kexing looked at Su Changqing with some admiration, his brother-in-law is actually a talent, but he was suppressed a little too much by his sister Rong Shangqing, and he didn't have much opportunity to give full play to his talent.
"The Prime Minister has worked hard for so many years, and the Queen Mother trusts me deeply. In this way, after all, it is still aimed at the Langya Palace...... In the name of marriage, the Langya Palace, worthy of being the Queen Mother! Su Changqing arched his hand in admiration, there is no simple woman in this Rong family.
Rong Shangqing is a tigress, but Su Changqing also knows that she can't do without her support, especially because she is good at dancing in interpersonal relationships, and she is even more comfortable with the management and use of the Rong family's connections.
It's a pity that the women of the Rong family are also strange in the affairs of men and women, the queen mother is a man and can't get close, but Rong Shangqing is too eager to fill, as long as she shows some intention to have sex with her, Su Changqing's legs are weak, and she can't do anything.
On the contrary, when he came to this Caiyun Xinghe Tower, Su Changqing was able to feel his dignity as a man, and even Chang Baibo, one of the top brands of Caiyun Xinghe Tower, was often killed by him and begged for mercy.
His flower name "Zhao Zilong" is also well-known in Caiyun Xinghe Tower, and he has even been featured in the newspaper, which makes Su Changqing proud.
"The point is...... There is Tang Wanrong in Langya Palace, Tang Wanrong will definitely be able to understand the meaning of the Queen Mother, and then Langya Palace's Mansion will take the initiative to ask for a reduction in authority. This side will not give people a handle, saying that as soon as the old prince died, the queen mother disregarded the will of the first emperor, and was ruthless and forcibly cut the Langya Palace......"
Rong Kexing sighed with emotion, this aunt's methods are really worth pondering and learning again, this is the way of power.
Thinking about Qin Shou'an's various behaviors since he returned to Beijing, he always felt extremely uncomfortable looking at him, and now he figured out the thoughts of the queen mother, which suddenly made people's hearts happy, Su Changqing and Rong Kexing greeted each other, and after a while, he instructed a group of girls to enter the house and continue to greet the two masters.
Lan Xinghe turned around and went out and told Liang Yundan the news he had just gotten.
"You mean, we'll pass this news on to King Langya?" Liang Yun lightly understood that Lan Xinghe was deliberately looking for an opportunity, his heart warmed, and he gently hugged Lan Xinghe, "Okay, this kind of news should be more valuable to King Langya than any rare treasure." ”
……
……
After nightfall, the Langya palace is brightly lit, every lantern and every candlestick are lit, so that the whole palace seems to be a grand scene when the garden party, only the shuttle back and forth, endless stream of tourists.
If you want to talk about the level of excitement, it is not bad at all.
The palace rewards the palace, and the palace rewards all kinds of people up and down, etc., the prince is very sympathetic, and the rewards are real money, so that everyone has a sincere smile on their faces, and truly experience the feeling of being prosperous, and give birth to a sense of belonging.
Since the reward of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, the princes and ministers who analyzed the general direction of the wind have sent gifts one after another, from the beginning of the neighbors of the three lanes and seven lanes to give gifts piecemeal, and then it was a steady stream of carriages and horses from all over the Longyin City, and even blocked the gate of the palace.
The big housekeeper Tang Cheng took the people in the account room to register, and the guards maintained order, compared to the loneliness and desertion of the palace when the old prince died, now this lively scene makes people sigh and sigh with human warmth.
The important ministers of the court generally do not have too close friendships with the Langya Palace, but no one will treat a dignified prince as air, and normal human relations will not cause suspicion in the palace.
The main thing is the reward of the Queen Mother, which is really too rich, and even makes people suspect that this is a signal deliberately conveyed by the Queen Mother...... No one can accurately analyze it for the time being, but it will not be a big problem to give a gift vaguely.
Su Changqing and Rong Kexing's analysis has not yet come out of Caiyun Xinghe Building...... They consciously figured out the queen mother's thoughts, and it was impossible for them to say it when they saw someone.
Qin Shou'an had a busy day, and he was also a little tired.
As the pinnacle of the eighth grade, his physical strength is enough to support it, mainly mentally.
The cumbersome rituals made people a little numb, and there was no rest in the middle, wearing a heavy and solemn gown, and the whole person was tense, and it was not easy to show everyone the majesty of the new prince.
Even if he takes off his gown now and puts on the prince's regular clothes with exquisite shapes, he is still a little uncomfortable, and he still maintains that majestic and swaggering posture when he walks up, which is the majestic "square step".
The requirements of the square step are to raise the legs and shine the soles of the boots, the waist is the center, the limbs cooperate with different occasions, the ground is fast and slow, and the ground is slow to lift and fall, and so on.
Qin Shou'an walked like this for a day, relaxed a little, but did not let himself loosen, and became accustomed to nature.
He took one last walk around the Langya Palace, and looked at the people eating and drinking at the banquet.
The banquet is only held inside the Langya Palace, and they are all the stewards and subordinates who work hard to manage the affairs of the palace on weekdays, etc., and it is rare to have the opportunity to sit down on the banquet of the palace.
Qin Shou'an's image in the palace is no longer simply a punch to blow other people's heads, the big guys are clear, as long as he is loyal to the prince, he is actually not brutal.
In the end, Qin Shouan walked into the Moon to Fenglai Pavilion, he actually had a lot of things to tell Tang Wanrong, such as: the reward of the Queen Mother.
Tang Wanrong also appeared today, on the bright side she has become a "concubine", but what makes her complicated is that she, the concubine, has not experienced the canonization ceremony, which means that her identity recorded in Zongzheng Temple has not changed.
Although she originally understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's "business as usual", it is still difficult for Tang Wanrong to accept it today...... The Queen Mother should not be so messy if she is normal.
Tang Wanrong can now be sure that the old prince Qin Heng not only wrote the letter to Qin Shou'an that "Shou'an should marry", but also informed the Queen Mother.
In addition, Tang Wanrong couldn't think of any other reason for the Queen Mother to make this arrangement...... What she couldn't figure out was that how could the Queen Mother agree?
Is it sick?
After so many years without a man, her desires were dissatisfied, and the heat was accumulated in her heart, and it gradually heated up and burned like the coals that piled up, and then burned her brain abnormally!
Tang Wanrong scolded the Queen Mother for the first time in her heart...... In the past, she was just a little slanderous, quietly touching and humming a few words to express her dissatisfaction.
After scolding, Tang Wanrong had no choice but to regard it as an oversight of Zongzheng Temple, after all, except for a few insiders, no one would care too much about such details.
On weekdays, everyone will naturally change their name and call her "concubine".
"Concubine, how are you feeling now?" Hei Ji stood beside Tang Wanrong and asked with some curiosity.
Seeing Tang Wanrong's brows furrowed, fidgeting, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes, Hei Ji couldn't help but suspect that Tang Wanrong had finally realized that she had become an old woman at the level of "concubine", probably because of the kind of flames accumulated in her body, which burned her eyes red.
