The Queen Mother's reward, just like the rain the night before yesterday, affected the entire Longyin City. Some people felt that they had to think carefully, maybe it was related to the position of their buttocks, while some people just watched the fun and talked nonsense. Fan, it’s not too big a deal.
"This matter is not as complicated as you think. On the surface, it seems that the Queen Mother rewarded it, but in fact, it was paid for by the Langya Palace..."
"How to say?"
"You don't know what the strength of Prince Langya's palace is? The palace needs money, so it sells land. It just doesn't sound good to say it out loud, so it's just a formality at this time."
"Is the palace still short of money?"
"Your Majesty is not someone who indulges in enjoyment. The money in the palace's inner treasury must be used to subsidize the national treasury... The Langya Palace took this piece of land and built a bunch of manors and courtyards, large and small, and then sold it to rich families at a high price. This It’s better than the palace plundering it directly from them. Do you understand?”
"So... the late emperor seems to have used similar methods, but there have been no wars or major disasters in these years, so the treasury should not be short of money."
"No, the regent's overseas campaign is almost a bottomless pit... Especially for the Navy, it is necessary to build ten Longwei-class flagships to ensure invincibility across the four seas and worry-free ocean routes..."
The guests dining at Wang Xie Fengyue Tower seemed to know everything. It seemed that they not only had people in the palace, but also knew the state of the treasury very well, and even the regent's war situation was well-informed.
As for the guests upstairs in Caiyun Xinghe, there is another story.
The big boat floating on the Nanhuai River always gives people a false sense of privacy. It seems that even if the words spoken here are spread out, they will fall into the water and never reach the shore.
Lan Xinghe was wearing a light green dress, her eyelashes were shining, her apricot eyes were full of water, her red lips were slightly curved, and her movements were like willow branches moving on the river. She personally came to entertain Su Changqing and Chengxin, the governor of Kyoto. Hou's son Rong Kexing.
"Master Su, Chang Baibo asked me to tell you that she is practicing Kung Fu hard these days, and she still wants to compete with you..." Lan Xinghe spoke softly with a charming look on his eyebrows.
"Okay, let her wait!" Su Changqing smiled.
He was originally a romantic and talented person, and when facing a woman from the Goulan House, he would generally not put on the airs of a third-grade minister, especially this Lan Xinghe, who was quite famous in Longyin City and was highly praised by some talented people. Su Chang Qing would never treat her like an ordinary brothel madam.
As for Chang Baibo, it is one of the top attractions in Caiyun Xinghe Tower. Su Changqing came here several times recently, and finally ordered her to spend the night there.
"You have to take good care of him..." Rong Kexing is Su Changqing's brother-in-law. He occasionally helps Su Changqing cover up to avoid being discovered by his sister Rong Shangqing. Indulge in the mood of painting a boat.
"Of course. Do you still want to order the two sisters Zhong Ling and Yuxiu tonight, Mr. Marquis?" Su Changqing and Rong Kexing are at a very important level among the regular customers of Caiyun Xinghe Tower.
Letting them have fun at Caiyun Xinghe Tower is not only good for the management of Huafang, but the news they occasionally leak is what Lan Xinghe cares about the most.
Rong Kexing is the eldest son of Chengxinhou, who is the third son of Duke Rong, the elder brother of the current Queen Mother, and the uncle of the Queen Mother.
Duke Rong Guo, his eldest son, and his second son have all been granted the title of Duke. It seems that it will only be a matter of time before they accept the title of Duke... Anyway, that's what people in Beijing say.
"Well, let them wait in the room, I will go after a while." Rong Kexing smiled and nodded, for the same reason as Su Changqing, he would also maintain a gentle and elegant attitude towards the galaxy.
After drinking for three rounds, Su Changqing burped, waved her hand, and dismissed the girl who was accompanying the wine and singing.
Lan Xinghe closed the door himself, then looked around and came to the adjacent pavilion. He entered the secret room from behind the bed, but he could clearly hear the words of Su Changqing and Rong Kexing.
"Ke Xing, your sister said... King Langya was targeting the Rong family from the beginning?"
"King Langya is still young, and his top priority is to familiarize himself with the affairs of the Jiuzhou Mansion and consolidate his authority. Why does he target the Rong family? Brother-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense. Women sometimes act on their own initiative. If they don't like anyone, they think others are targeting them. …”
"I also feel that even though King Langya is in charge of Jiuzhou Mansion, which is different from other royal family members, he still overestimates his ability to target the Rong family."
"Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry too much. Since my Rong family helped you up to the position of Governor of Kyoto, the Queen Mother will not push you down casually. This incident is probably to severely punish Prince Nan, and then reprimand you, brother-in-law." Sentence... In short, as long as your black hat doesn't move, please bear with my brother-in-law if he feels a little wronged."
"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 land that the Queen Mother gave to King Langya?"
"Haha... Grandpa once suggested to the Queen Mother that Prince Langya's palace should be divided into separate families. This land should be used by Prince Langya to establish a separate portal."
"I see, it has caused a lot of criticism... However, it is only one acre smaller than the palace, so it is a bit too much."
"It's indeed a bit too much, and I didn't expect it to be that place...According to the original statement, the Queen Mother seemed to want King Langya to get married or have children before she proposed to separate the family."
"It seems that the Queen Mother has already made up her mind about King Langya's marriage... Fang Zhimei!" Su Changqing suddenly realized and slapped the table, "The Queen Mother wants to marry Fang Zhimei to King Langya."
"Brother-in-law is really insightful... Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Prime Minister's Palace and Langya Prince's Palace to marry. If there is a marriage, then one of the Prime Minister's Palace and Langya Prince's Palace must weaken some of their power and influence."
Rong Kexing looked at Su Changqing with some admiration. His brother-in-law was actually a talented person, but he was suppressed a little too much by his sister Rong Shangqing, and he didn't have much chance to use his talents.
"The Prime Minister has worked hard over the years and gained the Queen Mother's trust deeply. In this way, after all, it is the Langya Palace that is targeted... In the name of marriage, he actually undermined the Langya Palace. He is indeed the Queen Mother!" Su Changqing bowed in admiration. Hand over, there is no simple woman in this Rong family.
Rong Shangqing is a tigress, but Su Changqing also knows that he cannot do without her support, especially because she is very good at interpersonal relationships, and she is very good at managing and using the Rong family's connections. There are many times when Su Changqing can't say anything. Rong Shangqing has to come forward for everything.
It's a pity that the women of the Rong family are also weird in matters between men and women. The Queen Mother is not allowed to be approached by men, but Rong Shangqing has excessive desires and cannot satisfy them. As soon as she expresses some intention of having sex, Su Changqing will get mad. Soft, really powerless.
On the contrary, it was only when he came to Caiyun Xinghe Tower that Su Changqing could feel his dignity as a man. Even Chang Baibo, one of the top leaders of Caiyun Xinghe Tower, was often killed by him until he begged for mercy.
His nickname "Zhao Zilong" has become famous in Caiyun Xinghe Tower. He has even been featured in newspapers, making Su Changqing proud.
"The key is... there is Tang Wanrong in the Langya Palace. Tang Wanrong will definitely understand what the Queen Mother means, and then the Langya Palace will have to take the initiative to submit a letter asking for the reduction of power. This will not give people a reason to say that the Queen Mother has passed away. Ignoring the late emperor's will, he was ruthless and unjust and forced the Langya Palace..."
Rong Kexing clicked his tongue and sighed, this aunt's methods are really worth pondering and learning carefully. This is the way to control subordinates through power.
Thinking about Qin Shou'an's behavior since returning to Beijing, I always felt extremely uncomfortable just looking at him. Now that I could figure out the Queen Mother's thoughts, I immediately felt happy. Su Changqing and Rong Kexing said hello, and after a while they looked at the stars. He ordered a group of girls to enter the house and continue to greet the two uncles.
Lan Xinghe turned around and went out, telling Liang Yundan the news he had just received.
"You mean, we will convey this news to King Langya again?" Liang Yundan understood that Lan Xinghe was deliberately looking for opportunities, and his heart warmed, and he hugged Lan Xinghe gently, "Okay, such news is very important to Langya For the king, it should be more valuable than any other rare treasure."
…
…
After nightfall, the lights in Prince Langya's palace were brightly lit. Every lantern and candlestick was lit, making the entire palace look like a grand scene at a garden party, except for the endless stream of tourists passing by.
In terms of liveliness, it's not bad at all.
The palace rewards the prince, and the prince rewards all kinds of people. The prince is very considerate of people's hearts, and the rewards are all real gold and silver, which puts a sincere smile on everyone's face, and truly feels the feeling of being prosperous and prosperous, and giving birth to more children. A bit of a sense of belonging.
After His Majesty and the Queen Mother awarded the reward, the princes and ministers, who had analyzed the general direction of the trend, sent gifts one after another. At the beginning, it was just neighbors from three lanes and seven lanes who came to give gifts piecemeal, and later it was Cars and horses came in an endless stream from all over Longyin City, even blocking the gate of the palace.
The butler Tang Cheng was registering with the accountants, and the guards were maintaining order. Compared with the loneliness and desolation of the palace when the old prince passed away, this bustling scene now makes people sigh and lament the warmth and warmth of human beings.
The important ministers in the court generally did not have too close friendship with the Langya Palace, but no one would treat a dignified prince as nothing, and normal human relations would not arouse suspicion in the palace.
The main reason is that the reward from the Queen Mother is really too generous, and it even makes people suspect that this is a signal sent by the Queen Mother... No one can accurately analyze it for the time being, but giving some gifts vaguely will not be a problem. What a big deal.
Su Changqing and Rong Kexing's analysis has not yet come out from Caiyun Xinghe Tower... They consciously figured out the Queen Mother's thoughts, and they couldn't tell anyone in person.
Qin Shou'an had a busy day and was quite tired.
As the eighth-level peak, his physical strength is enough to support him, mainly mentally.
The tedious ceremony made people feel numb, and there was no rest in between. Wearing heavy and solemn robes, the whole body was tense. It was not an easy task to show everyone the majesty of the new prince.
Even now that he has taken off his uniform and put on the well-shaped prince's uniform, he still feels a little uncomfortable. He still maintains that majestic and strutting posture when walking, which is the majestic "square step".
The requirements of the square step are to raise the legs to expose the soles of the boots, with the waist as the center, and the limbs to match different occasions, to lift quickly and slowly to the ground, to lift slowly and to fall quickly, etc.
Qin Shou'an walked like this for a whole day, relaxing a little but not letting himself get sloppy. It became a habit.
He walked around the palace for the last time and looked at the people eating and drinking at the banquet.
The banquet was only held within the palace of Langya Palace, and all the servants who worked hard to manage the affairs of the palace were all on weekdays. It was a rare opportunity to sit down at the banquet of the palace. At first, it was unavoidable to be cautious. When all kinds of food and wine were served, Everyone was eating and drinking happily.
Qin Shou'an's image in the palace is no longer just that of punching someone's head off. Everyone knows that as long as he is loyal to the prince, he is not cruel.
Finally, Qin Shou'an walked into Yuezhao Fenglai Pavilion. He actually still had many things to talk to Tang Wanrong, such as the Queen Mother's reward.
Tang Wanrong also showed up today. On the surface, she has become a "toffee", but what makes her feel complicated is that she, the concubine, has not experienced the registration ceremony, which means that her identity recorded at Zongzheng Temple has not yet been recorded. No changes.
Even though he originally understood the Queen Mother's meaning of "business as usual", it is still difficult for Tang Wanrong to accept it today... If the Queen Mother is normal, she should not be so messy.
Tang Wanrong is now certain that the old prince Qin Heng not only wrote the letter to Qin Shou'an saying "Shou'an should marry her", but also informed the Queen Mother.
Apart from this, Tang Wanrong couldn't think of any other reason for the Queen Mother to make this arrangement... What she couldn't figure out even more was, how could the Queen Mother agree?
Are you sick?
After so many years without a man, she was dissatisfied with her desires, and the heat accumulated in her heart, gradually getting hot and burning like the piled coals, and then her brain was burned to the point of abnormality!
For the first time, Tang Wanrong cursed the Queen Mother in her heart... In the past, she had only complained a little, quietly touching and moaning a few words to express her dissatisfaction.
After scolding, Tang Wanrong had no choice but to think that Zongzhengsi was negligent. After all, except for a few insiders, no one would pay too much attention to such details.
On weekdays, everyone would naturally change their names and call her "Toffee".
"Taifei, how are you feeling now?" Hei Ji stood next to Tang Wanrong and asked curiously.
Seeing Tang Wanrong's brows furrowed, fidgeting, and her eyes seeming to be burning, Hei Ji couldn't help but wonder that Tang Wanrong had finally realized that she had become an old woman at the level of a "toffee", probably due to the accumulation of blood in her body. The kind of flames must have burned her eyes red.
