"Where do you want me to go now?"
Xiao Tailai jumped up and was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, "You are obviously just messing around and playing rogue! Do you think you can get away with this? Don't even think about it!"
"Haha... use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman!" Qian Tao twitched the corner of his mouth and nuzzled in the direction of Daiban Pavilion, "Hey! Isn't Prince Rong like that?"
What?
Shouldn't King Rong stay in Shaoxing?
If he came to An'an, why would there be no sound?
Xiao Tailai was startled and looked towards the waiting room with doubt.
Sure enough, he saw a man dressed in prince's clothes walking out of the open door of the pavilion. He was the only younger brother of Zhao Guan's family, Prince Rong.
King Rong had a humble face, nodded and smiled in response to the looks cast by the ministers.
Behind him was Princess Qian, who was wearing a full set of gorgeous attire. She walked with her head held high, showing her noble appearance. She didn't look like someone who would be bullied.
Then the woman who was slightly behind Concubine Qian was wearing a double-breasted shirt with large sleeves. She was not so dazzling, but she had a certain grace. Although it was somewhat different from the image in the rumors, many officials guessed that this was the biological mother of King Zhong. , Huang Shi, the concubine of King Rong.
On her arm was a little lady holding a white cat. Her facial features were somewhat similar to those of Prince Zhong, but more childish and youthful. Her large, clear eyes were shy and timid, which matched the arrogance and fierceness in Prince Zhong's eyes. It's completely different, but it makes people feel more friendly.
Is this Prince Zhong’s sister?
Some officials who were relatively well-informed were guessing.
When Zhao Yun saw his younger brother approaching, his eyes showed a little joy and warmth. When he saw that he was about to kneel down and worship, he waved his hands hurriedly, "It's not a formal meeting, just a family gift."
King Rong was naturally more respectful than obeying his orders, "Brother, please pay homage to the Emperor."
Concubine Qian and others also paid their respects one by one, polite but not formal, just like a normal harmonious family, harmonious and easy-going.
After a few words of greeting, Zhao Yun asked, "Second brother is here, but what's the business?"
King Rong smiled and said, "I am a rich and idle man, what can I do to do anything serious? I haven't seen my brother for a few days, so I feel a little worried about him."
Although the words sounded nice, Zhao Yun didn't believe that this usually cautious brother would approach him without any trouble, let alone in a situation like today.
"Oh, you've changed your gender? In the past, you wouldn't come if you could..." Zhao Yun was half joking, half complaining, "Tell me, what is it?"
Prince Rong said sarcastically, "Well, my brother is really fine, but the princess is in trouble."
"Oh?" Zhao Yun looked at Concubine Qian.
Compared to Prince Rong's soft temper, Concubine Qian seemed quite aura. She smiled calmly and generously, "Your Majesty, this matter of being a concubine is more of a family matter."
As she said that, she took out the memorial and presented it, and then took Huang's hand in her affectionately, "Now I have Prince Rong's concubine, Mrs. Huang, who is not only virtuous and virtuous, but also has a son and a daughter for our Prince Rong's house. In order to continue the Zhao family's bloodline, I, as the mistress of Prince Rong's Mansion, would like to beg for her status from Your Majesty."
Then she took Zhao Han and said, "This is the only daughter of our Prince Rong. She is almost thirteen this year. I can't live without a title, so I have invited her as well. I hope your majesty will give me your permission."
Concubine Qian's operation is to refute the rumors with actions. If you say that I, Prince Rong, are at odds with each other and my wife and concubines are at odds, then I will change my hands and ask for a title for my concubine, and a county title for my concubine, and I will do so in public. Perform a show of sisterhood, mother-daughter and love.
Zhao Yun pretended to have carefully reviewed the memorial, and then smiled warmly and said, "The invitation given by Concubine Qian is as it should be. To be honest, I was negligent. I should have given it as a gift a long time ago. In the blink of an eye, Jian Niang was like this." Now that I'm older, my bones look much healthier than before, and my energy and energy are also in good shape, haha, very good..."
"Wait a minute." Zhu Yingyuan did not care about violating the taboo and forcibly intervened in Zhao Guan's mouth, "Your Majesty, forgive me, the title of a married woman is also a national title and should not be given lightly. I have some questions that Princess Qian needs to clear up. Then, Your Majesty It’s never too late to make a decision.”
These dog censors are becoming more and more domineering!
Zhao Yun was angry in his heart, but suppressed it out of habit, "What do you want to ask!?"
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable for his side, Zhu Yingyuan said anxiously, "Princess Qian, why didn't you ask for a seal earlier or later? Why did you ask for a seal at this time? It's hard not to suspect that your move was to cover up the facts. …”
"Okay, I know what you are going to say!" Concubine Qian was not afraid of the censor at all, "Is there any court regulation on when I should submit an invitation?"
Zhu Yingyuan's tongue stuttered, "This...it's not true, but..."
Concubine Qian smiled scornfully, "What's the point? I could have asked for the title a long time ago. However, the Huang family has always been humble and did not admire glory. However, some people with ulterior motives actually spread rumors and smear it, in order to prevent others from continuing to provoke others. It’s an opportunity, I just want to use the matter of applying for the title to show the world that my home in the Prince’s Mansion is peaceful, peaceful and prosperous!”
Zhu Yingyuan refused to give up, "You are deceiving yourself! Otherwise, why would you suddenly leave Prince Rong's Mansion and go back to your parents' house?"
"You can't even go back to your parents' home to visit relatives!?" Concubine Qian continued calmly, "Well, actually there is nothing shameful about this matter. Seeing that Prince Zhong is almost sixteen, he should get married at this age. I heard that the saint is making arrangements for Prince Zhong. I think my brother's daughter is a good match for Prince Zhong, so I want to facilitate this marriage. It's no problem. You don't think that the legitimate daughter of my Qian family can't marry the prince, right? "
The Qian family has been intermarried with the royal family for generations. Who dares to say that his legitimate daughter cannot marry a prince.
Zhu Yingyuan was unable to refute this reason. After holding it in for a long time, he had to say, "...No problem!"
After listening to Concubine Qian's words, others thought it was reasonable, and even Zhao Yun thought it was normal. However, if this matter was said in public, if the marriage failed in the end, it would be too harmful to the woman. Now it is Zhu Yingyuan who is to blame. Aggressive, Concubine Qian had to say.
But Zhao Mengqi was confused. He had never thought of marrying that unruly girl like Qian Duo. He couldn't help cursing in his heart. She was actually being plotted. This Concubine Qian was clearly taking advantage of the situation and wanted to forcefully tie the Qian family to him. Together.
Qian Tao was also caught off guard by his sister's move, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but admire her very precise timing, which devoured King Zhong to death. At this time, King Zhong could only do it for the sake of the overall situation. By default, it will be difficult to regret later. In this way, the rewards that the Qian family can get are guaranteed.
All the ministers suddenly realized that they thought they had found the reason why the Qian family turned to Prince Zhong. The Qian family's legitimate daughter would become Princess Zhong, so the Qian family would naturally have to desperately support Prince Zhong and keep his throne, so that their daughter could become the crown prince. The concubine will become the Empress of the Song Dynasty in the future.
