Chapter 361 Suddenly
Chapter 361 Suddenly
Lu Ping stood at the gate of Zhen Guo Princess's Mansion, looking at Xiao Rongyan's master and servant who were far away, feeling a little pity in his heart, Xiao Rongyan's dignified and calm demeanor did not look like a businessman, but rather a well-read man. Poems and books are like Confucianism, and reading all over the body is like a person's elegant and gentle temperament.
If it wasn't for Xiao Rongyan's identity as a businessman, he would be considered a good match with their eldest daughter.
The two of them walked side by side just now, and he looked at them from behind, like a pair of golden boys and jade girls, they were really beautiful.
Lu Ping withdrew his eyes and followed Bai Qingyan into the mansion, and asked Bai Qingyan in a low voice: "Miss, do you want to check the waiter?"
"No...it should be just an accident. After all, no one knew in advance. We were going to take that road, and I happened to stop at the entrance of that restaurant. It's just a coincidence." Bai Qing said.
Lu Ping nodded and clasped his fists: "This subordinate will arrange someone to spread the news about the eldest girl's return to Shuoyang in the future."
Bai Qingyan nodded.
·
Left Prime Minister Li Mao's residence got the news that Bai Qingyan would return to Shuoyang in the future, so he called two aides to discuss, one of the aides thought it would be best to take this opportunity to eradicate Bai Qingyan.
But the other felt that Bai Qingyan would not be so stupid as to carry the letter with him, and the Bai family in the capital city had the eldest princess, so it was definitely not so easy to advance.
Sitting under the flickering candlelight, Li Mao listened to the arguing staff, raised his hand and knocked on the case in front of him: "You can't act rashly, even until now, we don't know whether Bai Qingyan's hands are real or not. With those letters in hand, let's try it first, and try it while Bai Qingyan is still in Dadu."
The older staff member in green shirt said: "Master Zuo, I have a plan."
"Let's listen to it." Li Mao looked at the staff in Qingshan.
"Since Wen Zhenkang's wife couldn't find anything, she said that other letters...she put them in the hands of a reliable person, but this person is not the princess of Zhenguo! And we don't know whether the princess of Zhenguo is in the hands of her. Really have those letters! Then it's better...to turn the potential enemy of Princess Zhen Guo into an in-law." The counselor in blue said.
Li Mao frowned and waved his hands: "Princess Zhen Guo has vowed not to marry in this life, and she also used this excuse to reject Daliang's prince, so she won't marry into the Li family."
"Left Prime Minister, what I'm talking about is not Princess Zhen Guo, but... County Lord Gaoyi!" the staff member in Qingshan said slowly.
Li Mao frowned, looking down at the case thoughtfully.
"County Master Gao Yi has reached the age of Ji this year, and Zuo Xiang's youngest son is three years older than County Master Gao Yi, and has not yet engaged. Since then... Zuo Xiang and Princess Zhen Guo have become in-laws. With these letters in hand, I will not act rashly." The staff member in Qingshan said.
"What if the eldest princess and Bai Qingyan are not willing?" Li Mao lowered his eyes. Although his youngest son is not as famous as Lu Yuanpeng, he is not outstanding. Can the eldest princess and Bai Qingyan be willing?
"The left minister can directly ask His Majesty for an order of kindness." The staff member in Qingshan smiled, "In this way, even if the eldest princess and the Zhen Guo princess are unwilling, it is already done, and their Bai family will not resist the order and disrespect. At that time, the two families will become in-laws, first stabilize the Bai family, and then slowly test whether the letters are in the hands of the Bai family."
The staff in white shirts shook their heads: "What if Princess Zhen Guo and Princess Dachang disagree with this marriage, angering Princess Dachang and Princess Zhen Guo, and handing the letter directly to His Majesty or the Crown Prince?"
Hearing what the white-shirted staff said, the green-shirted staff's eyes lit up and looked at Li Mao: "Master Zuo may let the wife enter the palace to ask the prince's birth mother, Yu Guifei, to be the matchmaker. Let the two children be engaged first, and wait for the county magistrate Gaoyi to marry her." Get married again after the filial piety period! If Princess Zhen Guo and Princess Dachang disagree with this marriage, at least there is still room for repayment, so as not to let Princess Zhen Guo and Princess Dachang do too badly!"
The more the staff in the green shirt said, the brighter their eyes became: "Presumably the Princess Zhenguo will come and threaten to let Prime Minister Zuo think of ways to withdraw from the marriage. The reputation of Gaoyi County Lord, so you can also test whether the letter is in the hands of Zhen Guo Princess. If it is really in the hands of Zhen Guo Princess, Zhen Guo Princess only wants to be safe and sound, so we don't want to provoke it for King Liang Princess Zhen Guo, so as not to get into trouble."
The white-shirted counselor also nodded, and agreed very much: "Even if the letter is not in the hands of Princess Zhen Guo, it is not a loss for the son of Zuo Xiang to be engaged to County Lord Gaoyi."
Li Mao squinted at the glazed lampshade on the table, thought for a while, and nodded: "This... can be regarded as a solution!"
"Now we have to see how to say this to His Majesty so that His Majesty can agree to this marriage."
The two staff members were thinking hard, but Li Mao had other ideas: "Actually, there is no need to really ask His Majesty for an order, and to release the truth, go to His Majesty to ask His Majesty to marry the Lord Gaoyi for my youngest son. If the princess and Princess Zhenguo disagree, they will definitely come to find out the truth..."
The counselor in green shirt disagreed: "But what if the Eldest Princess just heard the news and promised Princess Gaoyi to someone else in advance?"
Hearing this, Li Mao raised the corners of his lips and smiled. He stared at the flames rising up in the glazed lampshade in front of him, and said with a calm smile: "So, it proves... Princess Zhenguo doesn't have those letters in her hands." ah!"
The staff in blue shirt suddenly realized.
That's right, if Princess Zhen Guo held those letters in her hand, once she heard the news, she would naturally come to the Prime Minister to warn the Prime Minister, and why would she rush to get married to County Lord Gao Yi?
If Princess Dachang and Princess Zhenguo really went this way, it would prove that the Bai family did not have those letters, and Princess Zhenguo just knew about the existence of these letters from somewhere to bluff the prime minister.
But Li Mao didn't think that Bai Qingyan was full, just to scare himself. What Li Mao was afraid of was... Bai Qingyan, who didn't have those letters in his hand, used those letters to scare him, and there was a bigger purpose behind it .
For example, when he really believed that the letters were in her hands, she wanted to coerce him into doing something.
If Bai Qingyan really held those letters in his hands, Li Maocai believed that Bai Qingyan wanted a peaceful relationship, as long as he didn't provoke the Bai family for the sake of King Liang, there would be no loss.
The aide in the blue shirt straightened up and bowed in the direction of Prime Minister Zuo: "The Prime Minister Zuo's methods are brilliant, and I admire you so much."
Li Mao knocked hard on the table with his fingers, and said: "The princess of Zhenguo will return to Shuoyang on the 22nd, so I will release the news tonight, and it must be passed to the palace of the princess of Zhenguo before tomorrow morning. Only when things are found out early can the truth be at ease."
The white-shirted counselor clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Zuo, the news will definitely be sent to the Zhen Guo County Lord's Mansion before tomorrow morning."
Li Mao nodded and held up the teacup in front of him: "Let's make arrangements!"
