Madam Qiao was still angrily reciting.
If it were someone else, King Zhennan would have had a seizure long ago, but Mrs. Qiao is the eldest sister, so she could only bear her temper and said in a good voice: "Eldest sister, according to this king, the concubine is virtuous and reasonable, and she is a good wife. Is it because there was some misunderstanding between you and the concubine Shizi before, so that the eldest sister had a prejudice in her heart? In fact, eldest sister, this king thinks that the concubine Shizi is right. The palace is really not short of 500 taels of silver. Wear flowers."
King Zhennan felt that he was really righteous.
Mrs. Qiao was dumbfounded, she blinked, she didn't expect what King Zhennan said. Didn't King Zhennan still dislike the prince and concubine before? Why does it seem like the sky has changed in just a few days? Could it be that King Zhennan personally presided over the concubine's wedding ceremony not to give face to the eldest princess Yongyang, but to give face to the concubine? !
And the five hundred taels of silver, of course she knew that the palace was not short of silver, but was she talking about five hundred taels of silver? Obviously, he is saying that the imperial concubine has no respect!
Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she was stuck in her chest, and her mind went blank.
Seeing this, Kikyo took a step forward and said: "My lord, the third son of Fu is currently in the Bixiao Hall. The concubine Shizi sent someone to ask the prince. I wonder if the prince has time to meet the third son of Fu?"
The third son of Fu?
King Zhennan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go and invite Mr. Fu San Gong over here."
Kikyo responded, bowed her head and quietly withdrew, only to hear Madam Qiao say with a little excitement, "Brother, is the third son of Fu the grandson of the eldest princess Yongyang?"
King Zhennan nodded slightly, feeling that the eldest sister's question did not seem to be aimless, and raised her eyebrows to look at the other party.
There was a hint of urgency in Mrs. Qiao's eyes, "Brother, do you know that the third son of Fu has a marriage plan?"
Big sister naturally wouldn't ask Fu Yunhe's marriage for no reason... King Zhennan stroked his beard and looked at Madam Qiao with a slight squinting. Could it be that he said, "Big sister, do you want to kill Sister Lan..."
Mrs. Qiao didn't plan to hide it from King Zhennan, or, if this marriage was to happen, it still needed the help of King Zhennan. She nodded bluntly and squinted her eyes with a smile: "brother, my sister Lan is now at the age to say kiss. Isn't this third son Fu a good candidate."
These so-called high-stakes families in Nanjiang, she looked around, no one was worthy of her Lan Jie'er. The third son of Fu is different. He has a good background, the best family, has received holy favor, and has military skills. He is simply perfect!
King Zhennan was thoughtful, Fu Yunhe and Qiao Ruolan were the right age, but the lintel of the Qiao family was not comparable to the mansion of the eldest princess Yongyang... But the eldest princess Yongyang was always open-minded. If the two children were suitable, she should Nor will it refuse.
Seeing that the king of Zhennan was moved, Mrs. Qiao suggested while the iron was hot, "Brother, when the third son of Fu comes, I will hide behind the screen and take a look quietly. What do you think?"
King Zhennan was a little hesitant. Fu Yunhe came to visit him. In terms of private affairs, it can be said that the younger generation came to greet the elders; but in terms of public affairs, it can also be said that the subordinates in the army came to visit the superior. It's really not right.
When Mrs. Qiao saw the embarrassment on the face of King Zhennan, her anger rose again, and her voice unconsciously raised her voice: "Brother, don't you agree with me on such a trivial matter?!"
His eldest sister is still so violent... King Zhennan was sweating profusely, and reluctantly nodded in agreement: "eldest sister, you have to be careful..." Don't let anyone find out.
Madam Qiao finally showed her face, and when someone came to report that the third son of Fu had arrived, she hurriedly lifted her skirt to avoid the screen with black ivory carved away from the sickness, and waited with bated breath.
After a while, there was a sound of picking the curtain, followed by the sound of footsteps, and the clear and sunny voice of the young man: "Little nephew has seen the prince!"
Madam Qiao carefully looked out, and took advantage of the opportunity when the other party bowed her head and gave a quick glance, the corner of her mouth was slightly raised, and she was very happy: a talented person, standing with her own daughter, she was really a talented woman, like that The golden boy and the jade girl descended to the earth as ordinary. For a time, Mrs. Qiao had a kind of feeling that her mother-in-law looked more and more pleasing to her son-in-law, and she really wanted to decide the marriage immediately.
King Zhennan quickly glanced in the direction of the screen. Seeing that Mrs. Qiao was hiding well, she felt a little relieved, raised her hand and said, "No courtesy."
King Zhennan believed that he did nothing, but he didn't know that Fu Yunhe, who had been paying attention to him, had already noticed his abnormality. Fu Yunhe curled his lips and smiled, and swiped in the direction of the screen when he raised his eyes.
A dark shadow could be faintly seen behind the hazy screen, and sure enough, someone was hiding behind it.
"Brother He, sit down quickly." King Zhennan greeted warmly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Fu Yunhe could be his niece-in-law, which was not bad.
"Thank you, my lord." Fu Yunhe rudely sat down on the armchair by the window.
King Zhennan said, "Brother He, how was your trip to Kailian City?"
Fu Yunhe said with a smile: "Returning to the lord, after more than a year of recuperation, Kailian City has been completely renewed, and the exiled people have returned to their homeland to live and work in peace and contentment."
"It's so good." King Zhennan stroked his beard with a smile.
In the end, although Xiao Yi had taken over the city of Kailian, he wasn't too rambunctious, and he didn't waste his usual teachings.
King Zhennan said in a very good mood: "Brother He, since you have returned to Luoyue City, this king will take care of you tonight!"
Fu Yunhe clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, little nephew, Your Highness!"
After talking for a while, Fu Yunhe got up and said goodbye. As he walked past the screen, he glanced at the bottom of the screen without a trace, and a pair of embroidered shoes with peony flowers on a black background came into his eyes. He raised his brows. A small smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that there was a woman hiding behind the screen.
Fu Yunhe left the outer study as if nothing had happened, and returned to Yunli Courtyard accompanied by Kikyo.
Kikyo actually came to see Nangong Yue on purpose. After she stepped forward to salute Yong Yang and others, she told Nangong Yue, "Prince Prince, the lord intends to hold a reception banquet for Mrs. Fu tonight, and let the servants give it to the prince. Spread the word."
Nangong Yue nodded and sent the Kikyo away.
When Kikyo walked away, Fu Yunhe suddenly said meaningfully to the crowd: "I only know today that the prince is really an informal person." The corner of his mouth curled into a smile that was not a smile.
He clearly had something to say.
Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei, and Fu Yunyan looked at each other, and Fu Yunyan said eagerly, "Third brother, don't betray you!"
Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so Fu Yunhe said bluntly: "When I went to see the prince in the outer study just now, I found a woman hiding behind a screen in the study."
"Absurd." Yong Yang frowned tightly. She originally only thought that King Zhennan was a little confused, but she didn't expect that he was still a person who was addicted to women's sex and didn't know the importance. Actually hiding a woman in the outer study, it really doesn't differentiate between public and private...
Nangong Yue pondered for a while, feeling a little strange in her heart, and whispered to the thrush beside her.
Thrush went away quickly, and came back quickly. In less than a stick of incense sticks, she came back and said, "Princess Shizi, the auntie came to the palace today to ask the prince, and she has already gone back." The auntie in her mouth was talking about Qiao Madam.
For a time, everyone in the room looked at each other in dismay. It seems that the woman behind the screen is Mrs. Qiao, but why does Mrs. Qiao hide behind the screen?
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, thinking about it, could it be...
"Could it be that Mrs. Qiao is in love with the third brother?" Fu Yunyan blurted out, and everyone's eyes turned to her, and then they couldn't help looking at Fu Yunhe.
Yong Yang was drinking tea slowly by the side, marrying the princess' mansion with the Qiao family's rank is definitely a high ranking. As the saying goes, "keep your head down and marry a daughter-in-law", she doesn't care about Fu Yunhe marrying someone with a lower rank, but first of all It depends on the character of the girl's family, otherwise marrying a spoiled family will really harm three generations. Thinking of Qiao Ruolan's words and deeds at the wedding ceremony that day, Yong Yang's eyes darkened slightly.
Fu Yunhe raised his brows, actually a little surprised. He blinked and asked with a smile: "Liu Niang, you have been in Luoyue City for so long. You should have seen the girl from Mrs. Qiao's family, right? How does she look? Pretty or not?"
Fu Yunyan stared back speechlessly, "Can you be pretty for dinner?"
Fu Yunyan's short sentence didn't seem to answer the point at all, but Fu Yunhe heard two meanings from it. First, Miss Qiao was pretty good-looking; second, her character seemed to remain to be seen.
Fu Yunhe sighed, it turned out to be a rotten peach blossom, his slump was only for a moment, after thinking about it, he puffed out his chest proudly, and sighed while touching his face with a smile: "Hey, I am as handsome and unrestrained as I am. It's no wonder that he is outstanding and loved by everyone, so he will be remembered wherever he goes!"
Seeing the unreliable appearance of the third brother, Fu Yunyan's eyes twitched, and he comforted himself: No matter how unreliable he is, he is still his own brother, so how can someone like Qiao Ruolan be his sister-in-law!
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere in the main room was relaxed and cheerful, as if they were back in the capital, where a group of close relatives and friends laughed together and talked funny.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but glanced at the sky outside, and didn't know how well Sister Yi and Sister Xi were now.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei accompanied Yong Yang to talk again, and then they left first. In the evening, there was a reception banquet for Fu Yunhe. Nangongyue still had a lot of things to order, and Xiao Fei volunteered to help her.
This reception banquet was held in the Nongyu Hall of the palace. Except for Mrs. Xiao Fang, who was banned, the masters of all the rooms of the palace were basically here. There was one table for men, two tables for women's family, and three tables were set up. Although there were not many people, Fu Yunhe was a cheerful and talkative person, and the banquet was also very lively, which made King Zhennan laugh from time to time...
In the end, Fu Yunhe temporarily stayed in the palace at the kind invitation of King Zhennan.
Nangong Yue hurriedly ordered someone to clean up a more remote yard for him in the outer courtyard.
King Zhennan was very satisfied, and thought to himself: The palace still needs a mistress!
The banquet did not dissipate until the head of Liu Shao on the moon.
Nangong Yue returned to Bixiao Hall. After bathing and changing clothes, she took out an account book from the study, then leaned on the beauty's couch and slowly looked at it.
This account book was brought back by Baihui in the evening. Shen Chengye made the account book of Tianshui Village in the third year of the Ming calendar according to his own instructions.
Nangong Yue carefully turned over them one by one. Next to each account, Shen Chengye also made some annotations based on the local county annals. These annotations were obviously for himself to see, and they were very clear. What Nangong Yue can be sure of is that this account is much more beautiful than Xiao Fang's.
Even if it is a "fake account", it has to be done flawlessly. If people can see the flaws at a glance, it will not be beautiful.
After reading the account book, Nangong Yue yawned, and Queer, who was serving in the room, hurriedly brought a glass of water, and said helplessly, "Prince Prince, you should rest."
"What time is it?"
"It's almost five."
Nangong Yue glanced out the window, it was almost summer, the dawn was getting earlier, and there was a hazy white light on the horizon...
...
...
In the capital of the fifth watch, the sky was only bright, but there was already a commotion, not only those merchants and walkers were busy for a living, but even those princes and ministers were already waiting in the duty room for the morning court.
The ministers are all a little sleepy. According to Dayu's rules, officials above the third rank are eligible to go to the morning court. The ministers here are naturally the top figures among the honorable ministers, and everyone is envious. But those ordinary people don't know that they have to get up at the end of the fourth watch every day in order to go to court early, just to rush to go to court at Mao Shi. Except for the New Year and taking a rest every ten days, this is the case every day, without exception.
Hundreds of civil and military officials go to court in the same hall every day, and they are naturally very familiar with each other, but in the huge duty room, they are clearly distinguished. Civilian and military generals, poor families... divided into several camps, and they did not communicate with each other.
The officials casually chatted with the people around them about the recent court affairs, and drank hot tea to refresh themselves. At this time, another figure in azurite court clothes walked into the duty room.
I saw that the other party was in his early twenties, handsome and elegant, leisurely and calm, like a scholar who had no power to tie a chicken, but put on the court clothes of a military minister, looking at the contradiction and abrupt, but for those present, it was taken for granted.
Everyone knew that he was behind the gate.
The official language of the Marquis of Anyi is white!
For a time, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and there was silence in the duty room, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Although everyone remained calm, there was a storm in their hearts, and they couldn't believe that Guan Yubai would appear here.
In order to make up for the fact that the official family was stolen, the emperor made Guan Yubai a second-class military marquis, hereditary for three generations. Because the injustice of the year should have an explanation for the courtiers and the common people.
Up to now, it has only been more than three years. In just a few short years, Guan Yubai actually appeared here, which also means that the official family has entered the core of Dayu's power again.
Over the years, the emperor has paid more and more attention to the official language, and from time to time, he invites him into the palace to ask him for his views on court affairs. An unexpected but reasonable feeling.
Unconsciously, the emperor's trust in Guan Yubai has reached this point!
In just a split second, all the ministers had already changed their minds, and those with flexible minds quickly weighed the pros and cons and decided to make friends with Guan Yubai in the future. A middle-aged official with a goatee put down the tea cup in his hand and was about to greet Guan Yubai when he heard a slightly sharp voice from the little eunuch sounding outside the duty room: "The First Prince is here!"
Before he finished speaking, a young man wearing a golden python robe strode into the duty room.
The first prince, Han Lingchao, looked around at the ministers, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Everyone is excused!" After that, his eyes fell on Guan Yubai, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then there was a flash of light in his eyes.
Like all the ministers, Han Lingchao was also aware of Guan Yubai's position in the emperor's mind now, especially considering the fact that the official family was destroyed, it seemed that this honor was not easy.
Whether Guan Yubai is as resourceful and resourceful as the rumors say, he has no last resort, Han Lingchao doesn't care for the time being, now that Guan Yubai is so favored by his father and emperor, as long as he can pull him to his side, he will definitely be a tiger with wings!
Han Lingchao made a decision in his heart, stepped forward a few steps to Guan Yubai, and said hello with a pretense of familiarity: "So it's Lord Guanhou."
"His Royal Highness." Guan Yubai bowed again, with a gentle attitude, but with a touch of alienation.
Han Lingchao didn't care about Guan Yubai's indifference, and said with a smile: "My father always told Ben Gong that Lord Guan is very knowledgeable and always has unique insights into people and things. Lord Guan, why don't you go to the window with Ben Gong? How about a brief moment!"
The direction Han Lingchao pointed was where he usually sat.
The emperor has a direct son, and the Spring and Autumn Period are prosperous. Although he has not yet established a crown prince, the officials still have a wait-and-see attitude. Except for a few because of their in-laws, or because they want to speculate, most of them have not yet stood in line. Guan Yubai is on duty for the first time today. If he sits with the first prince, he will be seen as wanting to go to the first prince.
All the ministers also heard that Han Lingchao meant to drive the ducks onto the shelves, some avoided their sight, and did not want to offend the eldest prince for this matter;
Guan Yubai smiled faintly, gentle and elegant, but without the slightest embarrassment.
"Master Guan!" A deep male voice suddenly came from the direction of the door, "Master Guan is coming to the morning court today?"
The words made other officials have different expressions. Some were annoyed that they were a step late, some mocked the man's stupidity, and some planned to wait and see... When everyone followed the sound, they found that the owner of the voice turned out to be the one who had just walked into the office. After Fang's Nangong Qin, the surroundings were quiet again.
Nangong Qin is also known for being upright and upright, never forming a party for personal gain, and he is not a crony.
Seeing that Nangong Qin looked at Guan Yubai with a trace of respect in his eyes, all the ministers probably understood that Nangong Qin was like this, probably out of respect for the heroic spirits of the official family.
"Lord Nangong!" Guan Yu looked at Nangong Qin with a smile.
Han Lingchao narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Nangong Qin, Cheng Yaojin, unhappy in his heart, but did not dare to attack.
At this moment, the little eunuch sang the report again: "His Royal Highness Second Prince is here!"
In an instant, all eyes turned to the door again, and the second prince Han Lingguan walked in leisurely with a smile on his lips.
The ministers bowed and saluted again. Han Ling's eyes lit up when he saw Guan Yubai, and then his eyes swept over Han Lingchao, Guan Yubai and Nangong Qin. He keenly felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled and hugged Han Lingchao: "Brother Emperor."
But Han Lingchao's face was expressionless, and he called out with a smile, "Second Emperor!"
Han Lingguan was also too lazy to deal with this brother, so he looked at Guan Yubai and said with a smile: "Master Guan, I have heard for a long time that Master Hou is very good at chess, and this palace recently won a pair of Bai Yao Xuanyu chess from the previous dynasty. , I don't know which day I will be fortunate enough to play a game with Hou Ye?"
"Go Fu" said: "The son is Bai Yao Xuanyu." Bai Yao Xuanyu is the top grade of chess pieces, and many chess idiots dream of collecting a pair of them.
Guan Yubai had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "If there is a chance, this minister should ask His Highness for some advice."
Han Lingguan said with a very good attitude: "Master Hou is willing to teach me, Guan is really honored."
Han Lingchao on the side heard his whole face gloomy. He stared at Han Lingguan and gritted his teeth, thinking: What is the game? ! The second emperor's younger brother is trying to please Guan Yubai with this pair of Bai Yao Xuanyu chess!
The blue veins on Han Lingchao's forehead jumped, and the old hatred and new hatred came together for a while.
