They didn't expect that Liu Chang, the seemingly honest guy, would actually do such a nasty thing. Although he was tricked, if he could control himself, how could he have caused so many things? Although he had been complaining for a long time that the guy was unreliable, he still nodded in agreement to Huang Qiong's instruction not to tell Zhang Qiaoer in case she got pregnant.
However, after the matter was settled, Dong Qianhong remembered something and said: "Master, the two women you brought turned out to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They were also from official families in the past, and the father-in-law once served as State verdict. It was only later that family members died one after another, and the two women did not know how to run a business, so they were defrauded of most of their property by the housekeeper, which is why the family has declined so much now."
"I think the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are well-educated and sensible. Do you think they are arranged to sleep together with the Chu family? In case you get interested, the Chu family can't stand your tossing, so why not I have to call for you in the middle of the night. If there are two more people, we can share some of the burden. However, both of them were frightened and tortured by you yesterday. Would you like to go and see them? "
When Dong Qianhong said these words, he looked a little bit sour and jealous. Huang Qiong laughed, hugged her into his arms, lifted up her skirt with her hands, and said with a smile while doing evil things: "Besides, what I want to see now is you. You are a jealous little brat, don't you think so?" I'm jealous, why did I eat it again? I can't bear to let you, a big treasure, drink like this with jealousy."
I saw two people, so sticky here. Cai and Li on one side had no choice but to leave. But when the two were about to leave, Huang Qiong stopped, pondered for a while and said: "You two go and ask those four women if they are willing to get married. Tell them that one of them is Zhizhou. , a serious person, and someone we will use in the future."
"One has the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and is sent to Xining Prefecture to serve as the second-rank governor of Fufan. Don't worry, both of them are in the prime of life and have no major physical problems. Although they were only married as concubines, they won't Let them live as widows. But it is better than staying in the palace like this. Even if the people released from the widows are concubines, no one will dare to bully them."
The two women knew who those four people were referring to. What surprised them was that Huang Qiong actually wanted to send them away. It seemed that this man really had no intention of keeping those four women by his side. Although I don’t know who the other official with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War is. But it was not difficult for the two of them to guess who the magistrate was.
His people are still people who will be reused in the future. Who is it if it’s not Liu Chang? Is this just appropriate? Although they were concubines, the two women were only slightly younger than Liu Chang. This guy likes this one, but it doesn't mean that others also like this one, and they like older people. If you forcefully sell it to others, although they dare not refuse it, they may not really be able to touch it when you marry them. In that case, what difference does it make whether you marry someone or not?
Aren't you just living as a widow? Just trying to persuade Huang Qiong to reconsider the matter. But then I heard Huang Qiong say: "If they agree, let them come directly to me for a reply. But don't force me, this kind of thing has to be voluntary, right? Tonight, I am entertaining the two of them. Don't make any arrangements at the banquet. If others are serving, just let the four of them serve."
Hearing what Huang Qiong said, Ms. Cai and Ms. Li were somewhat relieved. Huang Qiong looked at the sky and knew that it was almost over, but did not continue with Dong Qianhong. It takes him too long. When the time for the treat comes, he's not done yet. If you can't do it well, you will be the one who feels uncomfortable. Dong Qianhong also knew what was appropriate and did not continue to pester him.
In fact, Zheng Daoyuan had no thoughts about Huang Qiong's so-called farewell banquet. After being separated for so many years, I and my lover finally reunited in the capital. But this time, the two places have to be separated again. Although the specific official positions are different, he was demoted last time and was assigned to Longyou as a seventh-grade county magistrate. This time he returned to Longyou as the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of the Fu vassal.
But the result is the same, I still have to be separated from my lover. Now that that person is finally dead, I finally see hope, but now I have to separate again. What kind of life is this? But Huang Qiong wanted to invite him to a banquet, so he had to come no matter how reluctant he was. Even though this master is his brother-in-law and he is his real brother-in-law, he is the king and he is the minister.
The king has given you something, how can I dare to resign? No matter how reluctant he was, he could only bite the bullet and come to this farewell banquet. It can be seen that Zheng Daoyuan had no appetite at all after seeing the sumptuous food and wine, and was just drinking sip after sip. Looking at Zheng Daoyuan who was unhappy, Huang Qiong said calmly: "Master Zheng, drinking to drown your sorrow will make it worse. Besides, I don't think you have anything to worry about."
"The next step of the imperial court must be customized. Officials who have not served as local pacifiers, envoys, or envoys are not allowed to be ministers of the six departments, and they are not allowed to enter the Zhongshu Province as prime minister. Mr. Zheng has been in Xining Prefecture for three years. Although he is not serving as He is the first to write a constitution all the way, but he is also the first to take it seriously. As long as Mr. Zheng loves the people like his son when he is in office, one day, when Mr. Zheng returns to Beijing in glory, the imperial court will definitely reward him heavily. "
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Zheng Daoyuan didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile bitterly. Three years later, we were in that ghost place in Xining Prefecture again, facing the Tubo tribes again, such a complicated situation. It is not certain whether he will survive or not, and whether he will come back alive. Being granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister is not what I want. What he wanted, the court refused to give him. Thinking of this, Zheng Daoyuan drank another glass of bitter wine.
The spiciness in this fine Shu wine was swallowed along with the bitterness in my heart. Zheng Daoyuan, who just drank to relieve his sorrow, didn't know that something else was added to the wine he drank. But Zheng Daoyuan, who was looking at one glass of wine and then another, knew why he was so melancholy, but Huang Qiong, who knew very well, raised a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Master Zheng is leaving without anyone around to take care of him."
"In this way, I will reward Mr. Zheng, two beauties who are considerate. On weekdays, they can take care of your daily life, wash and cook for you, and accompany Mr. Zheng in the evening. If we are two people, we will be lucky enough to give birth to Mr. Zheng. A son can be regarded as giving Mr. Zheng a legitimate and real descendant. In the future, he can also have an explanation for his ancestors. After all, there are three unfilial piety and not having an offspring is the worst."
"Things in the past are now in the past. No matter how good the beauty is, you don't own it. There are some things that you can't think about anymore, at least for now. And no one can guarantee how far things will go in the future. Let it go. , at least letting it go for now is the best for you. You are not young anymore, it is time to face reality, and it is time to have a child of your own."
While Zheng Daoyuan was still drunk, Huang Qiong said what needed to be said directly. His meaning was very clear. Gao Huaiyuan would always be the eldest son of the Marquis of Yingchuan, and this would not change in any way. In other words, father and son Zheng Daoyuan and Gao Huaiyuan will never recognize each other. This is the face of the imperial court, the face of the Tian family and the old man, and the old man will never give in on this point.
Even if you don't marry a wife, at least find two concubines so that you can have a legitimate child. These words were Huang Qiong's words of persuasion from the bottom of his heart. Because for Huang Qiong, at least now, there is no difference between him and the old man. The Marquis of Yingchuan is not the only one who has been married to the Tian family. Those princesses who were betrothed to nobles, except for their glory and wealth, actually lived a unhappy life.
Once this happens, what should I do with my other sisters and cousins? If they both get divorced, they might find their childhood sweetheart, or find someone they like. Hasn’t this Da Qi Dynasty’s Tian Family become a huge joke? So this head cannot be opened at least now. Zheng Daoyuan is now over forty. If he continues like this, he will delay even the next generation.
After Huang Qiong's words fell, Zheng Daoyuan, who was not drunk yet but was somewhat tipsy, shook his head and said: "It used to be difficult to make water, except for Wushan Mountain. I looked back lazily at the flower bush, half destined to be a Taoist and half destined to be a king. She is worthy of the official. , Xiaguan naturally wants to treat her right. Even if he can't have a legitimate child, so what? She is enough for Xiaguan in this world. "
"Xiaguan's parents have both passed away. Whether he has legitimate children, Xiaguan doesn't have to explain to anyone. What's more, Xiaguan is not single, he also has brothers at home. They already have children and nephews, so Xiaguan also There is no need to worry about the family having no heirs. Your Highness is really overly worried about this matter. Besides, there are not people in this world who are not related by blood."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been known for being a romantic person. He has many beauties around him, and everyone in Xijing City knows it. But whether the women around His Highness value His Highness's power and status, or whether they really have feelings for His Highness, I'm afraid only God knows. They know it themselves. . But back then, she didn’t dislike me for being a poor scholar. How could the current low-ranking official dislike her? Let alone break his heart by taking a concubine? "
Zheng Daoyuan's words couldn't help but make Huang Qiong feel ashamed. He knew that Zheng Daoyuan heard the meaning of his words. But I never expected that this person would be so infatuated and loyal to my eldest sister. From this point of view, the hardships that the eldest sister has endured over the years have not been in vain after all. It's just a pity that two infatuated people cannot be together, at least while the old man is still in power.
It is easy to get priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover. Such an infatuated man is really rare in the world. Seeing that Zheng Daoyuan was getting drunker and his face was getting redder and drunker, Huang Qiong regretted it. It's just a pity that it's too late to say anything at this time, and now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. I'm afraid that those methods of my own will take effect soon.
Compared to the two people who knew each other well, Liu Chang, who was sitting on the side, was confused when he heard the conversation between the two. From the conversation between Huang Qiong and Zheng Daoyuan, he felt that he heard something. It seems that Zheng Daoyuan had a lover many years ago, but the identity of this lover was a bit special, which prevented the two from getting together in the end. And Zheng Daoyuan never married a wife because of that woman.
Nowadays, Zheng Daoyuan, who is a second-grade official, still can't tell the matchmaker that he is marrying a woman. This status is probably extraordinary. Either she was of extremely high status, or the person she married was of extremely high status. Thinking about this prince again, he seems to know the inside story? Thinking of this, Liu Chang looked at Huang Qiong and boldly speculated that the woman was most likely a member of the royal family, or the concubine in the palace? "
Thinking of this, Liu Chang couldn't help but take a peek. At this time, Zheng Daoyuan might have revealed his secret, so Huang Qiong, who looked a little ugly, could only suppress the doubts with a glance. Two people, one is the current crown prince and the other is a second-rank official. The identity of the woman involved is even more mysterious. If she is really the emperor's concubine, then isn't she looking for death?
