"By the way, I am safe and sound today. Fortunately, the commander of the Military and Horse Division on duty outside sacrificed his life to save me.
However, I went out of the palace in disguise today. In the eyes of outsiders, what he rescued was just a maid beside you, so it is not easy to reward him greatly.
Let's do this. You go and invite him to attend the afternoon cultural gathering. When the time comes, you thank him properly on my behalf. "
When the Queen Mother suddenly said such words, the clever Princess Zhaoyang could hear other meanings at first glance.
At the foot of the mountain, I did catch a glimpse of a young general with a heroic appearance, but I was worried about the safety of the emperor's grandmother, so I didn't think much about it.
When she saw the imperial grandmother asking her to help express her gratitude, she couldn't help but suspect that her imperial grandmother was a drunkard and didn't care about drinking!
Since he is a general, wouldn't it be nice to let the eldest brother promote him? Okay, why do I have to hire someone?
Thinking of this, I subconsciously want to refuse...
But then I thought, look at the appearance... might as well see it!
So he pretended not to hear the connotation and nodded.
After Zhaoyang also went out and the Queen Mother was helped into the inner hall, an old nun walked in quietly and reported:
"Queen Mother, we have some clues about what you asked your servant to inquire about."
"Tell me."
"The commander of the Xicheng Army and Horse Department, his name is Jia Lian, he is twenty years old this year and the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion in the capital.
He himself is a little-known noble son in Beijing.
In the third year of Ningkang, because of a conflict with Prince Duan's eldest son, he was beaten so hard that he was bedridden for half a month at the fourth prince's house!
Later, in order to calm the matter, His Majesty sent him to the border for training. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be a born general. He was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield and made many meritorious deeds. He was deeply appreciated and valued by His Majesty!
At the end of last year, because his father was seriously ill and difficult to cure, His Majesty showed mercy and recalled him from the border to serve him, and promoted him to the fourth rank of Military and Horse Commander!
After his father died of illness last month, he inherited the family title and was personally awarded the title of "Second Class Zhenyuan General" by His Majesty.
It can be said that this Lord Lian, now with an official title, has a reputation in the capital that is growing day by day.
Just now, when the servant asked people to go out and inquire about him, they said that there were very few people who didn't know his name. "
The Queen Mother nodded after hearing this. Jia Lian's situation was consistent with her expectations.
It is absolutely impossible for such a young general to say that he does not have a special background!
As for being brave and good at fighting and having repeated military exploits, this may not be fully detailed.
As soon as the Queen Mother heard about Jia Lian's life experience, she roughly guessed that it was Emperor Ning Kang who needed the support of those founding noble groups to vigorously support his own power!
But being chosen by Emperor Ningkang speaks for itself.
On the contrary, she was a little surprised that he dared to hit Prince Duan before.
"Why did he beat Prince Duan?"
The old mama deliberately left it blank. Seeing that the queen mother really asked, she hurriedly smiled and said: "When I returned to the queen mother, my servants also asked about it. It was because Prince Duan's words and deeds were unscrupulous and he publicly insulted the eldest man of Rongguo Mansion at that time, who was this man. Lian Ye's biological father.
Therefore, in a fit of rage, he pinned Crown Prince Duan on the martial arts stage and beat him violently.
If there was no reason for the incident and the royal prince was seriously injured in public, no matter how much your majesty valued him, he would not be able to spare him lightly.
Moreover, according to others, if His Highness the Third Prince had not happened to be present that day, the Crown Prince would have died.
His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is a person who does not take things too seriously when it comes to watching the excitement, so he will definitely not stop it. "
Hearing the old nanny talking about the son of her niece who was her sister, the Queen Mother had a look of helplessness on her face.
This bastard...
The old grandma is right, she is indeed a person who enjoys watching the excitement and does not take it too seriously!
Seeing that Prince Da Duan had nothing to criticize, the Queen Mother finally asked the most crucial point: "Has he ever been married?"
As soon as the old nanny heard this, she understood what the Queen Mother meant.
The Queen Mother is really attentive to His Highness Zhaoyang. When she sees an outstanding young man, she can't help but consider whether he is a good match for His Highness Zhaoyang.
Because this was definitely not in line with the Queen Mother’s wishes, the old mama didn’t think she was smart, so she pretended not to hear the overtones and said with a normal smile: “I said that a few years ago, I got married to the same Jinling Si. The legitimate daughter of the Wang family, a large family."
Although it was expected, the Queen Mother still frowned slightly when she heard that it was indeed the case.
As if she couldn't tell the Queen Mother's thoughts at all, the old mama continued: "The Queen Mother may not know that the two blood ginsengs given to you by the previous Highness Zhaoyang were exactly given to the Fourth Highness by Lord Lian.
Then His Royal Highness the Fourth gave it to His Highness Zhaoyang as a birthday gift.
Today he was lucky enough to save the Queen Mother, which shows that Master Lian is really a man of profound blessings. "
The Queen Mother glanced at this old product that was sold well by the specialist, nodded slightly, and didn't care about it any more.
…
But when Princess Zhaoyang left the Queen Mother's bedroom, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
She is a royal princess, but she invites a foreign minister to attend her birthday party. What's going on?
Even if he looks better, he's still not worthy of this princess taking the initiative to fawn over him!
It just happened to remind me of the gift my unsatisfied brother gave me last time, which was blood ginseng obtained from a man named "Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion".
I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now it is a breaking point.
So he called his unlucky brother over.
Unexpectedly, when the fourth prince saw her, he said, "I don't know what's going on outside. Isn't it just that your horse was frightened? You're fine. You just threw a maid. Why did a good hunting end suddenly?"
I haven't shot enough prey yet!
I heard that the eldest brother also ordered that the afternoon cultural gathering should be cancelled. Although I don't like that, it is really disappointing. "
Princess Zhaoyang never thought that she had a bad temper, but she always got angry easily when she saw her unlucky brother.
"What do you mean, nothing happens to me. You really hope that something happens to me, huh?"
Seeing the unkind look on his irritable sister's face, the fourth prince hurriedly laughed and said: "The emperor was joking, how could it be possible?
When I first heard about it, I was so worried that I even let go of the deer I was chasing. I turned around and went to look for you, but I heard that you had gone to save some maid.
Hey, I knew at that time that with my royal sister’s brilliant equestrian skills, there would definitely be nothing wrong with me, so I started the hunting competition again.
Who would have thought that suddenly those forbidden troops would come out to drive people away..."
In today's situation, everyone is secretly speculating on what big event has happened. Only my careless brother is still thinking about hunting!
Taking a deep breath, Princess Zhaoyang resisted the urge to hit her brother, spoke kindly, and politely asked him to help invite people.
Unexpectedly, the fourth prince was slow in other aspects, but now he suddenly became shrewd.
As soon as he heard that his elder sister was going to invite Jia Lian, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Hey, sister, don't you have a crush on Jia Lian?
Let me tell you, they seem to have married a long time ago. Even if you fall in love with her, there is no chance.
We, the royal family, cannot do that kind of immoral thing to steal someone’s husband! "
The fourth prince said almost as a lesson.
Who told the emperor's sister to always use the emperor's grandmother to bully him? She also always lectured him and told him to behave properly.
Today I have seized the opportunity to teach the other party a lesson!
Huh, what are you making up? The maid who saved your life is just because she fell in love with the man's lust.
"hehe."
Princess Zhaoyang didn't need to hold back any longer. She quickly grabbed the fourth prince's pig ears in one quick move. When the prince turned around in a begatory manner, she kicked him out of the room with a flying kick on his butt.
"If you don't see anyone in the afternoon, please be careful.
Also, don’t say that I asked you to invite me, otherwise... Humph! "
After saying a few words, the door closed with a bang.
The fourth prince rubbed his sore butt, his face wrinkled like a Muggle.
"Humph, you still said it wasn't the case. If not, why would you become so angry?"
The Fourth Prince looked certain that he had seen through everything.
Thinking deeply about how cruel his sister has been to him over the years, he deliberately said to the door: "Let me tell you, Jia Lian and I are brothers. If you really fall in love with her, you have to please me. I will take my place." If you say a few nice words, maybe they will accept you, a violent woman, as a concubine or something..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound at the door and was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
