Chapter 1404 709 Childless (One More)
Not only the Nangong family, but other courtiers' mansions in the capital were also discussing in private that the emperor ordered the five princes to go to Mount Tai to sacrifice to the sky on his behalf, each of them thinking about it.
In the end, although Su Zhijing took all the blame for the fraud case, Prince Shun lost his holy favor, and was even dismissed from his job in the Ministry of Housing. The other wings in the hall were not implicated.
Of course, he was not willing to suffer from this dull loss, so this period of time has been turbulent.
The King of Gong Jun, Han Lingfu, was repeatedly impeached by the censor, and all kinds of filthy things were pulled out one after another.
The situation in Dayu Chaotang became more and more chaotic.
But at this time, there was another severe drought in the south, and the morning went up, and the battle over who to send to the disaster relief was exhausted. Finally, the Marquis of Pingyang was selected. The emperor was just about to withdraw from the dynasty. : "Your Majesty, please order the third concubine Ma Kuilang to go to the southern border."
This sentence made the whole court silent and shocked.
In the Golden Palace, many officials stared at the official with a look of "are you crazy?" Even the emperor looked at him in surprise and said, "Why did Huo Aiqing say this?"
Of course, Mr. Huo had already thought about it, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhennan led a hundred thousand troops to the Ruijiang City, the capital of Baiyue, and he must be able to break Ruijiang City in a few days." After a while, he said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, Baiyue can't be without a master for a day!"
Hearing this, Baiguan was quiet again, and they all tasted some flavors.
That's right, Baiyue is thousands of miles away. When Prince Zhennan takes the capital of Baiyue and clears up the rest of the fake kings, then Baiyue will be Xiao Yi's possession.
By that time, Xiao Yi may have enough time to hold the ground and bury his own power in Baiyue. Even if Kui Lang is allowed to go back in the future, it will be difficult to shake Xiao Yi's position in Baiyue.
The Zhennan Palace in the palm of the southern border has already made the emperor jealous. If Baiyue is added... I am afraid that Dayu will be unable to do anything to him!
The emperor thought about it, and after a long time, he gave the sentence "We will discuss it later".
Then Mr. Huo was not impatient, and respectfully agreed.
The morning of the day ended in an eerie silence.
Han Lingfu has no serious errands now, so he went straight back to the palace after going to court, but before he could drink a sip of tea, he welcomed an uninvited guest.
Han Lingfu looked at Kui Lang, who was looking for an excuse to come to his house again, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, and said, "Sister-in-law, what can be done, this king has already ordered people to do it, as for whether the father and the emperor agree, it is not this king. I can control it."
Sitting by the window, Kui Lang squinted his eyes and said, "Brother Sanhuang, don't try to deceive me, this is just a trivial matter, and it depends on whether you really help me."
Han Lingfu frowned irritably and rubbed his temples.
These days, it can be said that everything is not going well for him. Not only was he forced by the second emperor brother step by step, he was also reprimanded by his father a few times because of this. Who is this all for? !
If it wasn't for Kui Lang forcing him that day, he could slowly cut off the power of the second emperor brother, and after he completely defeated the fifth emperor brother, he would deal with the second emperor brother in full force.
However, he had to waste his manpower for Kui Lang's affairs, and he had to accept unnecessary doubts from the other party. If it was before, Han Lingfu would have turned his face, but unfortunately, it is different now.
He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his mind, and said to himself: What Kui Lang asked for is not bad for him. When Kui Lang left, naturally no one would point fingers at him.
Thinking about it, Han Lingfu's mood improved a little, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
Han Lingfu didn't take Bai Muxiao and Qi Yi in his eyes. These two women were nothing but foxes and tigers. After Kui Lang left the capital, he immediately sent them "on the road"!
At that time, Kui Lang is far away from Baiyue, thousands of miles away, Chaotang still needs to help him check and balance the plan, will Kui Lang still turn his face for the mere two bastards and himself? !
Han Lingfu gritted his back molars, his jet-black eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and patiently said to Kui Lang: "This king never speaks falsely, my sister-in-law will wait a few more days to know the sincerity of this king."
Kui Lang responded with a half-smile but not a smile, trusting Han Lingfu for the time being.
He couldn't wait to go back to Baiyue.
He has been away from Baiyue for too long, and the longer the time, the greater the variable. Now he just wants to quickly regain his throne... When he has stabilized Baiyue, it is time to start cleaning up Xiao Yi!
Kui Lang picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it down with pride.
If you want to clean up Xiao Yi, of course you can't directly confront him, you just need to tell Han Lingfu to operate in the court and try to make the emperor fear the Zhennan Palace, and even take back their military power. At that time, the case of Guan Ruyan will be repeated!
The humiliation Xiao Yi brought him, he will definitely take it back bit by bit!
The more Kui Lang thought about it, the more proud he became. He felt that he had finally made a good move by holding Han Lingfu for himself, and this woman could be considered to be of some use.
Thinking of Ziyi, Kui Lang remembered something, and urged again: "Brother Sanhuang, for your friendship with me, you and Ziyi should have a child too!"
A child with the blood of Baiyue and Dayu!
When this child ascends the throne, Dayu will be in his pocket!
When it came to the child, Han Lingfu's heart that had been relieved a little bit became chaotic again, and he was extremely irritable.
He wants a child more than anyone else, but not with the clothes, but with the second princess Chen.
Since he and Bai Muxiao had turned against each other, although he often went to Bai Muxiao's yard to "sit down", on the surface he loved her, but in fact, he had been resting at Chen's place these days.
But Chen's belly is not up to expectations, and she has never been able to conceive.
Not only that, he even favored a few maids in Chen's yard, but they still had no good news.
Han Lingfu was so anxious that he once wondered if it was because of the Wuhe paste that the Chen family couldn't get pregnant, but now hearing what Kui Lang said, it seemed that it wasn't...
The child born by the maid has a lower status, should he accept another concubine? !
Han Lingfu thought of this, and half lowered his eyes.
When Cui Yanyan died suddenly, he had promised the Cui family that he would take a girl from the Cui family as his side.
Han Lingfu was wondering if he should go to the Cui Mansion to meet Cui Wei for a while, but he didn't know that Cui Wei's heart had been touched by a pool of spring water...
At this moment, Cui Wei was also meeting guests in his study.
"Lord Cui," a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe of a grand master and Cui Wei sat across the table, persuading him with good words, "This official has been with Lord Cui for many years, and it is also a kind of persuasion. Lord Cui wants to After thinking about it clearly, even if Prince Gong will keep his promise and accept another girl from the Cui family as a side concubine, but he could even abandon the main concubine at will, what is the use of a mere side concubine?"
Isn't it easy to kill and discard at any time? !
If Cui Wei moved, he frowned.
The middle-aged man had been observing every change in Cui Wei's expression, and he was not in a hurry, and continued: "Since Mr. Cui is the father-in-law of Prince Gong, what do you think of Prince Gong?"
For a moment, Cui Wei felt that something was pressing down on his heart, and he felt heavy.
Han Lingfu looks gentle and elegant on the surface, like a modest gentleman, but in reality he has a deep mind and can do anything to achieve his goals. It is precisely because of this that Cui Wei felt that Han Lingfu had the courage to do great things, and had the appearance of an emperor. In comparison, the fifth prince was so indecisive, it was really difficult to be a big responsibility!
However, after his daughter passed away, he realized that Han Lingfu's ruthlessness was a double-edged sword. He was not only ruthless towards his enemies, but also towards others. When it was not worth using, he would just abandon it!
However, the Cui family had already boarded Prince Gong's ship, and if they wanted to get off, how could it be easier said than done? !
Cui Wei's heart sank slowly.
The middle-aged man sighed: "As a person of Prince Gong, even if he really accepts the Cui family's daughter as his side concubine, I am afraid that he will think that the Cui family is taking the opportunity to coerce, and he is unwilling and even resentful. ... Once Duke Gong gains power in the future, with his character, Sir Cui, do you think he will let you go?"
Don't say anything else, isn't Cui Yanyan, who died inexplicably, a lesson for Cui Wei? !
Cui Wei's heart skipped a beat.
These days, he does have such worries, but he has been restrained and not thinking about it.
But now the words that keep coming into his ears seem to have cut open his heart, forcing him to face it.
Yes, based on his understanding of Han Lingfu, under his gentle appearance, his actions indeed have a bit of a meaning of "those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish", if the Cui Fu can help him in the future, that's all. otherwise……
He didn't want to show his timidity in front of outsiders, so he bit his head and said lightly: "Even if the little girl dies, everyone knows that I am the father-in-law of Prince Gong. Is it possible that at this time, I can choose another way?"
The problem is, even if he is willing to serve other princes, the other princes will probably not regard him as a confidant...
"Master Cui, there are many ways to achieve things in this world..." The middle-aged man said meaningfully.
Cui Wei raised his eyebrows slightly to show his doubts.
The middle-aged man smiled smugly in his heart and pointed out: "Master Cui, Princess Ling Aixian died so wrongly, so there must be no peace in Jiuquan. The only way for Master Cui to let the world know that Ling Ai's death is something else... So, Gong The county king will be afraid of acting in the future."
Cui Wei lowered his eyes and pondered, and was silent for a long time.
If he was asked to sue the Duke of Gong for killing his wife, he would never do it, because in this way, the Cui family and the Duke of Gong would have no room for manoeuvre. If Prince Gong's future ascends to Dabao in the future, the Cui family will be finished. But if the outside world is only to reveal the cause of his daughter's death a little, for Duke Gong, I am afraid that he will not want to bear the notoriety of killing his wife, so he will treat his "former Yue family" kindly, so as not to be discussed by the outside world.
In this way, no matter whether he can ascend to the supreme position in the future, the Cui family can also preserve their wealth...
After a while, he looked up at the middle-aged man and said resolutely, "What should I do?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't hold back his lips and smiled.
"Susususu..."
A warm summer wind blew through the window, hiding the whispers in the house in the sound of cicadas and the swaying of branches and leaves...
In mid-August, the scorching midday sun was scorching the earth, and the air was so hot it seemed to burn.
This is the case in the capital, and the same is true in the southern border.
The gravel-paved road was gleaming with the scorching sun, and a simple blue-covered carriage came slowly towards a temple at the foot of a mountain.
From a distance, it attracted the attention of two little nuns who were sweeping the floor.
The Mingqing Temple is located in a remote location, surrounded by wild mountains and mountains. It is rarely visited on weekdays, and there are even very few pilgrims who come to offer incense. Basically, the people who come here are female relatives who have been "sent" to Qingxiu, or just visitors.
After a while, the door of the Ming and Qing Temple was wide open, and the little nuns from the temple to Shi Tai down to Sasao knew that the Prince and Concubine Zhennan was coming.
Those little nuns were still young and undecided, and they all looked at a courtyard in the temple curiously. It is said that the eldest girl from the Zhennan Palace lives in this yard. In name, she came to pray for her mother.
"Sister-in-law!"
Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue coming from outside the house, and blurted out in surprise, almost suspecting that she was dreaming.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Fei with a smile, and saw that she was wearing a white Ru skirt, the black blue silk was tied into a loose Zan'er, and there was only a white velvet flower on her head. From beginning to end, she was so pure Not a bit of color.
Xiao Fei originally had a lonely and cold temperament, but at this time, it seemed that there was a trace of pitiful fragility.
Sister Fei lost weight again! Nangong Yue was so distressed that she held back her words and shouted with a smile, "Sister Fei!" She took Xiao Fei's arm affectionately, just like before.
Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei to sit down by the window. In August, the cicadas continued to chirping. In the past, Xiao Fei would find the cicada chirping disturbing, but now she is calm.
Taoyao hurriedly served tea to the two masters. Nangongyue held up the tea cup and looked at the room without a trace, and saw that there were still a few newly copied scriptures on the desk, and the ink on the inkstone table was not dry. The wolf on the pen rest...all of them showed that Xiao Fei was copying the scriptures just now.
Nangong Yue squeezed her fingertips while holding the tea cup, her eyes flashed, and before she could say anything, Xiao Fei could not hide her expectation and said, "Sister-in-law, do I really want to be an aunt?"
Xiao Fei couldn't help but looked up and down Nangongyue several times, and lingered in her abdomen again, a bright look bloomed in her jet-black pupils, and Taoyao and Baizhou, who were serving on the side, were all delighted in their hearts: Since I came to the Ming and Qing Temple, I have never seen a big girl get pregnant, she is still a concubine... No, it is still the future little grandson who has the ability!
Since she found out that she is pregnant, Nangong Yue's lower abdomen has always been the focus of everyone's attention. She was a little uncomfortable at first, but now she is almost calm.
As Xiao Yi said, his own nan nan is to be liked, and there is no way to do it!
Nangong Yue's heart moved, she was still worried about Xiao Fei's temperament, and it would be difficult to persuade her to return to the house... Now that I think about it, it's actually a simple matter. With so much "face", what can't I do? Woolen cloth!
Nangong Yue stroked her abdomen and said, "Sister Fei, you can become an aunt in the spring of next year." After a pause, she said again, "When Nan Nan is born, Sister Fei, you can teach her how to draw and calligraphy and chess. it is good?"
"That's natural." Xiao Fei was overjoyed and agreed, "I have to quickly make some small clothes for Nannan..." At this time, Xiao Fei was really glad that she had learned some needlework with her sister-in-law, otherwise she wouldn't be able to give it to her. Her little niece is making clothes.
However, her needlework is still too rough, so she has to practice more quickly! Xiao Fei suddenly had a new goal in addition to painting and calligraphy.
Seeing this, Nangong Yue deliberately followed her words and said, "Sister Fei, I'll ask your aunt to wear the spring clothes."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry." Xiao Fei replied with a stern face, "I will find a good mama to ask for advice, and I will definitely not wrong our daughters..." As she spoke, she was thinking about her warehouse There is also a green cicada wing, which is just right for Nannan to make clothes!
The two sisters-in-law were speculative, but the thrush on the side was a little speechless. They looked at Baihui and said with their eyes, how can this big girl have the same virtue as the grandfather? !
Besides, although the father died in the mother, the eldest girl needs to be filial to her mother for a year, and she cannot discuss her relatives for the time being, but after a year, the eldest girl will eventually get married, so how can she stay in the palace forever...
Taoyao and Bai Zhou also thought of going together, exchanged a secret look, thinking: As long as the eldest girl is happy.
