"Won't you go in, my dear wife?"
The princess lives in the main building of Conglvtang, and her study is in the podium building of the inner courtyard of Conglvtang. The empress and the maid walked all the way along the corridor and stopped at the door of the study.
The door to the study room was ajar, and through the crack in the door, one could see Brother Rong's back in the room.
He held the pen and concentrated on writing, occasionally stopping to rub his head with the brush in his hand.
The princess looked outside the door for a while and sighed softly. "He always acts like he doesn't care, but actually he has everything in mind."
It's a pity that the princess really misunderstood Brother Rong this time.
Although Jia Rong was enthusiastic about her, he still did not risk his life to help the Zhen family for her. As the head of the Jia family, Uncle Rong, Lord Ningguo's first priority is always to protect the Jia family and Ningguo's family.
This is also the reason why he has been restrained and timid all these years.
Only by protecting yourself first can you save others.
Maybe this seems a bit cold-blooded and ruthless to some people, but that's how Jia Rong behaves. If you can help, help, and if you can't help, you will never get involved.
this will.
He was thinking about whether the Jia family would be affected once the old concubine passed away, and what kind of situation Yuanchun would face in the palace.
In the final analysis, the Zhen family actually has little to do with Jia Rong, and it doesn't even have much to do with the current Miss Zhen Er.
Miss Zhen Er has left the cabinet and can no longer be considered a member of the Zhen family.
Calculate left and right, deduce.
From the perspective of the emperor, from the perspective of the royal family, and from the interests of the officials and factions. The Zhen family is gone, which is beneficial to everyone. Only the Beijing County Prince's Palace and the Jia family will be slightly affected, and their power in the court will also become weaker.
The impact is limited.
Uncle Rong scratched his chin and thought about it secretly. At this time, as long as there is no big trouble in the Beijing County Prince's Palace and the Jia family, the emperor, the royal family, and the officials will not pick on the Beijing County Prince and the Jia family.
Now going to the Jia family and the Beijing County Prince's Mansion will not be of much benefit to the officials or the emperor.
They can't afford it.
Uncle Rong thought about the biggest problem of the Zhen family again. Zeng's relationship with Prince Yi Zhong was a time bomb after all. Will this be made up to involve the Jia family and the Prince of Beijing County?
possible.
But, not now.
Brother Rong nodded. No matter from which angle you looked at it, it was not yet time for the royal family to attack the Jia family.
Perhaps in a few years, the situation between North Korea and China will change.
At that time, either the Jia family will gain momentum or the Jia family will lose its use value, then the Zhen family's crime of colluding with Prince Yi Zhong will also become the reason for the royal family to suppress the Jia family.
Brother Rong wrote two names on the paper, 'Little Third Master' and 'His Royal Highness', and after thinking about it for a while, he added 'Prince Li Cheng' and 'Fourth Brother of Prince Zhongshun'.
The royal variables are all in the hands of these four people.
"Why don't you go and have a rest?" A gentle voice sounded behind him, and a pair of thin hands held a felt and draped over his shoulders.
Brother Rong looked back and saw the Princess of Beijing County who had changed her clothes and came over. In addition to 'Little Third Master', 'Your Highness', 'Prince Li Cheng' and 'Fourth Brother', he silently added the name of Prince Shui Rong of Beijing Commandery.
None of these five are the masters of Ansheng.
Jia Rong suddenly understood Emperor Xiande a little bit. There was an unreliable Supreme Emperor, and the two adult princes below him were even less reliable. There is also a thirty-five or six-year-old son of the deposed prince. Even his fourth son, who is his best friend, has evil thoughts.
Not to mention the four kings and eight princes, the kings of southern and northern deserts, etc.
If he were the emperor, he would definitely support the Jinyi Department and guard all the restless ones, ready to swing their swords at any time.
Brother Rong glanced up and down at the princess. Although she had changed into palace clothes, her colorful embroidery was still eye-catching.
Still so beautiful.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard Jun'er mention that the light in the study was still on, so I came over to investigate and found out that you were here." The princess sat down next to Brother Rong, and the maid named Jun'er next to her turned around with a wink. go.
The princess's body was obviously changed to another kind of fragrance. This kind of fragrance was very elegant and relaxing, unlike the original one which made people feel dignified and heavy.
"Suddenly I remembered something, so I came here to think about it while I couldn't sleep today." Brother Rong replied with a chuckle. Smelling the elegant fragrance, while he was still thinking about things, his mind was suddenly filled with the image of the princess. .
Women only affect the speed of my thinking.
The princess read what was written on the paper, and she suddenly understood. "No matter how noisy they are, they can't affect us."
At this point, the princess and the princess paused and asked in surprise: "Is it possible that you want to choose one of them?"
Choosing one is naturally the best option at the moment. With a prince as a backer, the Jia family and the Zhen family will not have any problems in a short time. But such an investment is too risky and has a short shelf life. Brother Rong doesn't think it's a good idea in the long run.
When he first showed his virtue, there was a powerful helper beside him. Before that man became the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, he held military power in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces. Because of this, he played a big role in showing virtue and seizing the throne.
After he showed his virtue and ascended to the throne, he was appointed as the general and the commander of the army. He was the first person in the army at that time.
Not only was he powerful, but his sister was also named the concubine of the dynasty. It was really a prominent family.
However, such a powerful person was sentenced to death by Emperor Xiande in the third year of Xiande. Now even his name has become taboo in Dayan.
The royal family are all keen on settling scores, and they never let down their guard even for their former helpers and allies.
Even after they ascend to Dabao, the first person to be struck by a sharp blade is often the brother who helped him ascend to the throne.
Jia Rong doesn't want to worry about being chopped down all the time in the future. Your Highness is not a good person, and neither is the Crown Prince. If you had to choose, you might as well abandon your official position and take your whole family to hide in Heishan Village.
He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No change is the best at the moment."
The princess read what he had written before, and she didn't blame Brother Rong for letting the Zhen family deal with it on their own. Pointing to a question, he asked: "No matter how careful you are, the palace will have a reason. Especially when it comes to money, the Zhen family is in charge of all businesses in the south of the Yangtze River. If the money is short for a while, the palace will be afraid..."
net
"We can only borrow money carefully and lend money tightly. If the Jiangnan banks really can't move the money, just ask them to borrow it from the Ministry of Household Affairs. If the amount borrowed by the business bank is small, the Zhen family will advance it temporarily and must not use the money from Tirenyuan. "
Brother Rong waved his hand helplessly. At this time, the Zhen family could only live in poverty. He added: "If we really can't move away the urgent money, the Zhen family can send someone to Jinling to get the meeting tickets."
Brother Rong's idea is feasible, but he ignores the difficulties that every family has. The businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are very close to the Zhen family. They come to ask for convenience once or twice and then return it. How can the Zhen family refuse to open their mouths if they come several times?
The princess said quietly: "The method of raising the soup to stop it from boiling can at most keep you safe for a year or two."
"Let's keep it safe for a year or two and then we'll see. As long as the Zhen family is willing to be poor for a while and finds the opportunity to resign as the president of Tirenyuan, everything will be fine."
"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but gold and silver can never be forgotten! In the end, I will only regret that there will be no more gatherings, and my eyes will close after a long time." The princess of the county lightly opened her thin lips and read. In his mind, he thought about how the master of the Zhen family would give up the gold and silver, let alone let his family live in poverty.
Brother Rong was stunned for a moment.
The princess' face turned red quietly, and she asked shyly, "Why do you look at me like this?"
"Who taught you those two lyrics?" Brother Rong's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was beating. I don't understand why I can always hear the lyrics of those two guys around me.
"Brother Rong, have you heard of this term too?" the princess asked in surprise. "This song was sung by a foreigner. I heard it twice. Once many years ago, Baoyu of the Zhen family was seriously ill. A lame Taoist came into the Zhen family and cured Baoyu. He sang it in his mouth. Listen to this song."
"Another time?"
"Another time." The princess blushed and said, "On the way to Shenjing, she was sent to Shenjing by her family. She saw a scabby monk singing. At that time, it sounded reasonable and she wrote down these two sentences, and then it suddenly occurred to her."
Lame Taoist, scabby monk, what are these two old guys going to do?
Brother Rong also remembered the "Journey to the West" that Shi Dazi left for him. At that time, he circled two words, namely 'Mang Mang' and 'Miao Miao'.
Slim?
Boundless?
Brother Rong also asked Jia Jing. It seemed that Mr. Jing knew something, but he did not explain it to him.
Brother Rong smiled heartily and said: "It turns out that our queen is also destined to be a destined person. I am afraid that the gods from this world are here to save you."
"I don't want to be a god." The princess replied with a blushing face. His body gradually softened and he fell into Brother Rong's arms. He said softly: "Don't worry about the Zhen family's affairs. When they are really in trouble, we can help them."
She knew how difficult it was to save the Zhen family and didn't want to embarrass Brother Rong.
What a considerate lady.
Uncle Rong smiled inwardly and reached out to pick her up. Lifting her delicate chin, he moved towards the faint red lips.
Uh-huh.
This time Brother Rong truly realized that the Princess and the Princess were really unfamiliar and needed to be guided and taught slowly.
Suddenly.
"Hmm..." The princess just checked for something strange, and hurriedly twirled her hands in front of her. Or maybe she didn't really want to stop it in her heart.
I just don’t want to be in this place…
This was the place where Brother Rong and Aunt Zhu had a tryst. She had seen it with her own eyes.
The night is cool and the wind is chilly.
The princess looked at Brother Rong with resentment.
Brother Rong's bewitching voice came to my ears: "Madam, let's go to the next room and talk in detail."
next door?
Next door is his and Grandma Zhu's nest.
How could she sleep on the bed that other women had slept on, cover herself with the quilt that other women had covered, and lie on the mattress that other women had slept on? The princess's mind was filled with images of Brother Rong and Grandma Zhu Li Wan in the room over there.
Miss Zhen Er violently opened one of the strange hands.
His face was as red as blood, and he stared at Brother Rong with a strange expression. "If you have the guts, you can go to sleep in the Green Hall today."
Brother Rong looked at her suspiciously. Inside Cong Lv Tang... didn't it say that there were maids and maids around who were the concubines of the Prince's Palace in Beijing County?
After two or three cold breaths, their eyes met.
Reading the meaning in each other's eyes,
"you……"
"Let's go to Cong Lutang." Isn't it Cong Lutang? Isn't he a member of Concubine Beijing? There's nothing to be afraid of. Uncle Rong smiled to encourage himself and stretched out his hand to pull him up. "Don't let go of my hand, otherwise I won't be able to hold you."
The princess looked unworried, her face flushed and her head lowered, as if she had decided to let him do whatever he wanted.
Men must not be timid at critical moments. Brother Rong kicked himself up again.
Oops...this girl is really a bit heavy.
Why did I forget that I shouldn't have said that I would carry her over? This would affect the performance of the meeting too much.
Seeing the princess burying her head shyly in her chest, she turned around and realized that the maid named Jun'er had already left. Only then did he suddenly realize, had the good guy been plotted against him?
I struggled to carry the person to the main building of Conglu Hall. After entering the hall, I saw several maids and maids hurriedly preparing.
Brother Rong even believed that he was being plotted.
However, he liked this kind of calculation.
A few more times won’t hurt.
But he forgot that the person who can stay by his side must be trusted by his master. There are some things that cannot be reported to the princess even if she is the princess. Otherwise, if the princess and princess knew what Jia Rong was doing in Ningguo Mansion, how could she have allowed the princess to stay overnight in Ningguo Mansion.
What's more, someone as smart as the Princess of Beijing County would leave hidden trouble for herself.
No one can underestimate anyone.
The curtains on the bustling and large bed were laid down layer by layer, leaving the last curtain hanging inside. The maid Jun'er held the lamp and stood on the steps inside the curtain. There were four other maids standing quietly outside, with red faces, waiting for the call at any time.
"Your Majesty, you are so beautiful."
"Well..." The princess was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. She felt that her body was alternately cold and hot, and she couldn't help but fold her arms.
"I haven't asked your mother-in-law's maiden name yet. I can't keep calling you my mother-in-law or aunt from now on."
"Xun'er."
"Xun'er? Zhen Xun? Zhen Xun? Who named you?"
"Fuck Xunli's Xunli." The princess was angry and angry. The bad guy even made fun of her name. He pulled out a soft pillow from behind and waved it on the bad guy's head.
Brother Rong quickly grabbed it with quick eyes and said with a smile: "It sounds like a brother's name."
The princess blushed and snarled: "All the sisters in the Zhen family are named like this. None of the sisters use the words 'spring', 'hong', 'xiang' and 'yu' as their names."
"Good Xun'er, my name is Rong." Uncle Rong smiled. He called out again: "Xun'er."
It seems that what I have been waiting for for a long time has come true.
Brother Rong frowned at this moment, looked down, and paused with doubt.
Under the light of Babu's bedside, a scarlet spot on the mattress was particularly eye-catching.
He knew he was being reckless.
Blame yourself.
After a while of whispering and comforting words, the princess gradually smiled on her face. A pair of white and tender hands came around and explained softly. "Brother Rong forgot about the prince and Baoyu..."
