But facing Huang Qiong, whose tone was domineering yet gentle, she really felt at a loss now. He Jiatian was a military attache. Although he was a first-class official, he could not get rid of the vulgarity in his bones. Since marrying him, I have become accustomed to his rude and gentle style. In her forty-two years of life, this was the first time someone had treated her like this.
At this time, Mrs. He couldn't help but think of her past these years. Back then, her father was just a sixth-grade military attaché under the He family, who had been depressed all his life. His wife died less than a year ago, and he went to the military camp for an inspection. He accidentally fell in love with himself, who was only 18 years old at the time. He proposed marriage to his father on the spot, regardless of the age gap between him and his father.
Although my father is not the kind of person who sells his daughter for glory at all costs for the sake of power. However, facing the pressure from the power of the He family, he was forced to give up on his already arranged marriage with his childhood sweetheart and marry himself to the He family who was over forty years old. Others were envious of their own family, but Mr. He's father-in-law, who was only a few years older than the He family and was a sixth-grade military attaché, had become a popular person in the eyes of the emperor. He had climbed to a high tree.
Even his childhood sweetheart, who had been engaged since childhood, thought that he was abandoning the arranged marriage for the sake of power. But no one has ever asked themselves whether they are willing or not. When I was in my prime, I married an old man and was carried into He's house on a sedan chair. The day before the wedding, my mother hugged her aggrieved self and cried all night.
But there was still nothing he could do. The next day, he had no choice but to put himself on the sedan chair. In a daze, she became the stepmother of five children. The eldest son of the He family was only a few years younger than him at the time. On their wedding night, He Jia Tuan, who never knew what gentleness was and only knew how to demand, was so rude that he almost felt like he was being split in half.
On the second day of my wedding, I was in so much pain that I couldn't even get out of bed for the entire day. And over the years, I have worked conscientiously in the He family, serving the old lady at first, and facing the glare of several stepsons and stepdaughters, but I have never received any tenderness and consideration from my husband. The rude husband, starting from the night of his wedding, lay down and fell asleep every time after finishing his troubles.
She gave birth to two children for him, and they never stayed with her. Others only see that they are dignified in front of others, but a few of them know that in the past twenty-four years, they have been striving for perfection and how many tears they have shed behind the scenes. Now facing the King of England, who was more than 20 years younger than her, she suddenly felt domineering and tender, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Looking at the King of England who was holding her in his arms with a domineering look on his face, Mrs. He, who had woken up from her memories, bit her lip and said in confusion: "If you really did that, If you snatch me away from the He family in public, I can only die and thank the world. I am so old, it is really not worth it. You must never say such words again in the future. "
Listening to Mrs. He's words, although there was confusion in her tone, she was already a little relaxed. Knowing that at this time, Huang Qiong had to strike while the iron was hot, he kissed her little face and said domineeringly: "Bijun is now my woman, and I will not care about anything for Bijun. If Bijun If you keep away from me in the future, I won’t care about burning the cauldron or sinking the boat.”
Huang Qiong's words could be described as extremely domineering, and Mrs. He was afraid that he would actually do what he said. She quickly covered his mouth and said with a hint of pleading in her tone and a hint of shyness: "As long as you don't make this matter public, I can do whatever you want. Even if you want to do that, it's up to you. But there is only one thing. You must not let others know about this matter. If it spreads, I will really be embarrassed to see others."
"I am a despicable person. I have done such a big mistake and it would be a pity to die if others find out. But I cannot let my grown-up children live with the stain of their mother and being criticized. Especially mine. My daughter will marry King Yong soon. If we know that her mother has done such a despicable thing, how can the Heavenly Family tolerate her?"
Hearing the looseness in Mrs. He's tone, Huang Qiong said nothing for a moment. To be honest, Huang Qiong had never thought of taking her away from the He family. Although he didn't mean to trick this woman with those words, he couldn't do these things completely without taboos. Even if he really wanted to take it away, he would have to think carefully and think of a way.
This involves not only the He family, but also King Yong, and even his own reputation. It's even more because of Mrs. He's temperament. Huang Qiong knew that if she really did that, Mrs. He, who was stubborn and thought more about her children, might really fight her to the death. I would rather die than really let myself succeed.
But if he really let it go, he would really be unwilling to do so. Considering the He family, even Huang Qiong had the intention of letting go if Mrs. He really refused to die. After all, he doesn't like to really force himself on a woman. Now that Mrs. He's tone became looser, it was an unexpected surprise for Huang Qiong. It was just that I was extremely happy in my heart, but it didn't show on the surface.
Feeling the warm and fragrant soft jade in his hand, Huang Qiongcai sighed softly and said: "Since Bijun has decided to stay in the He family, I just agree to Bijun. However, I also hope that Bijun will be able to stay in the He family when he is free. You can spend more time with me. Today, I agree to Bijun, but in the future, I will invite Bijun to the palace to meet you. I just hope that Bijun will not refuse me."
In response to Huang Qiong's uncompromising tone, Mrs. He could only blush with shame, and nodded almost unconsciously after a long while. Seeing her finally nodding, Huang Qiong breathed a sigh of relief. He pinned the person down on the bed again, and after being frivolous for a long time, he got up and personally put on the shoes for Mrs. He, whose face was red with embarrassment, and sent the person to Ting Xuexuan.
Huang Qiong was able to brake at the last moment this time, not because Mrs. He was upset by him. Just as Mrs. He said, today is He Yao's happy day. She can do it anytime, but she can't do this today. What's more, if he takes too long here, Guangshou Palace might have to send someone to look for him.
After returning to Guangshou Hall, Huang Qiong looked extremely calm, making it impossible for anyone to see the dirty things he had just done. And when Huang Qiong came back from Ting Xuexuan, the banquet was basically the same. After all, even if the emperor is toasting frequently, which minister would dare to drink too much in front of the emperor? After Huang Qiong came back, the banquet was almost over.
When Huang Qiong entered the palace this time, it could be said that the whole family entered the palace together. But when I came back, there was one person missing. The little girl was left in Ting Xuexuan together with the two wet nurses. Even when her parents left, they were not reluctant to leave. But the little girl didn't pay attention at all, clinging to her grandmother's arms and smiling extremely happily.
When this little girl behaved like this, Huang Qiong and He Yao could only shake their heads helplessly and leave with their eldest son and daughter in their arms. On the way back, looking at He Yao who was somewhat depressed, Duan Jin, who knew how much she valued these three children, could only hold He Yao's hand and comfort her softly. Facing Duan Jin's persuasion, He Yao could only smile bitterly.
After returning to the mansion, Huang Qiong frowned slightly and said nothing more when facing the greeting cards and congratulatory notes that filled half the room. The world is like this, so he can't be too harsh. Picking up a congratulatory note and reading the content, Huang Qiong just smiled faintly. After letting someone take him to the woodshed to start a fire, he got up and prepared to go to He Yao's yard.
Just when Huang Qiong walked out of the study, he saw Fan Jian hurried over. Seeing Huang Qiong, Fan Jian stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Fan family has a secret letter from Longyou. The mark on the letter is a sign of urgency from the Fan family. So Jian didn't dare Without the slightest delay, I came to look for the prince as soon as I received this letter.”
After hearing Fan Jian's words, Huang Qiong took the letter and turned around without saying a word and returned to the study with Fan Jian. After tearing open the secret letter that still had its lacquer intact, read the contents of the letter carefully. He handed the letter to Fan Jian again, stood up and walked out of the study door with his hands behind his back. After Fan Jian also read the secret letter, he turned around and said, "What does Brother Fan think of this matter?"
Closing the letter in his hand, Fan Jian pondered for a moment and then said: "Obviously, this Tuoba brother has been secretly contacting the various parties, and is secretly doing his best to build and hoard weapons and war horses. In fact, his counter-intention is already obvious. . Judging from the movements of this person in this letter, it can even be said that his rebellion is imminent. Next, it depends on what the court will do. "
"My lord, actually nipping all dangers in the bud is the most beneficial thing for the court at the moment. The most important thing the court should do now is to send a capable official to Longyou secretly. Before he openly rebels, , find a pretext to directly capture and kill his brother in one fell swoop. It seems easy to do this, but there are two things that make it difficult to do. "
"First, the prince is only assisting in the affairs of the country. The prince has not actually controlled the North and South Zhenfu divisions that are most suitable for this. If it is to go through the emperor, then the prince must find a suitable reason to convince the emperor. These things from the Fan family are for the prince. You can make up your mind. But if you want to convince the emperor, it is not easy. It may even cause the emperor to be suspicious of the prince. "
"It should be noted that although the prince now has the trust of the emperor and is almost a sure candidate for the throne, he just lacks a public name. But the more this happens, the more cautious the prince must be. The prince is familiar with history books and should know the past dynasties. Although the princes of the past dynasties are the successors to the throne, they are often the ones the emperors are most jealous of."
"Even if the emperors of the past dynasties were in ignorance, they all hoped that their successors would be better than themselves, but they also did not want their successors to be beyond their control. Although the emperor now trusts the prince, the prince has ignored one thing, that is, the emperor has not Give the prince the power to mobilize officials of fourth rank and above independently. Although the prince has the right to make suggestions, the emperor has never let go of the final decision-making power."
"Although the emperor has handed over five of the six departments to the jurisdiction of the prince, the official department is always firmly in the hands of the emperor. The North and South Town Fusi, although the prince now has the right to intervene and access the archives With the information, we really want to mobilize people from the north and south to suppress Fusi, but the prince still has to ask for an order. It shows that the emperor, at least for now, is far from completely trusting the prince."
"Even the prince is now the heir he has recognized in his heart. This does not mean that the emperor does not trust the prince, or that he has other ideas. The emperor's behavior is just that the emperors of all generations have high expectations for the heir. It’s just another three points to be wary of common diseases. But this usually doesn’t matter, but once a situation like this occurs, the prince will be very passive. "
