Rong Jiu's words were full of annoyance.
"The maid given to you by the queen? I seem to have some impression. I remember that these two people were specially selected by the queen from the Yeting Bureau. They should have good appearance and character. How could they be bribed so easily?"
This is a test. Emperor Ming is now past his destiny. Although there are no major problems with his body, it is not considered strong. He pays more attention to the stability of his body.
Therefore, in recent years, power checks and balances have been carried out in the court and the harem. In the harem, Concubine Wei Xian was used to suppress the queen, and in the court, the four princes were supported to weaken the prince's wings.
Of course, there was a preference for Concubine Wei Xian and the fourth son, but more importantly, there was a fear of the prince in his prime.
"Perhaps there is resentment in your heart? The resentful minister was not close to women in the past two years and ignored them?"
Emperor Ming almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He didn't expect that the boy from the Rong family frowned and thought deeply for a long time before saying this.
"His Majesty!"
Although there was no spout, some tea flowed out, and the waiter next to him hurriedly served the ropa.
"you really……"
Emperor Ming pointed down and couldn't even curse.
"Isn't it true? Your Majesty doesn't know that she falsely accused her in front of her father that I ordered her to find out the news. Isn't she just eating, drinking, having fun, and doing such boring things?"
Rong Jiu frowned and said doubtfully.
"If you had a better relationship with your father, they wouldn't start with the people around you!"
Emperor Ming reprimanded angrily.
"This is an injustice to me. I have always been filial, but my father doesn't like it!"
Rong Jiu waved his hand.
"Speaking of women, I heard that you dote on your wife. Your reputation for caring for women has almost spread throughout Shengjing, and many people who were originally willing to marry you have turned away!"
"Then something happened to the Xie family daughter again in the East Palace, otherwise it would have been a good marriage!"
Although Emperor Ming said this, he was quite satisfied with the scandal that happened in the East Palace.
As Rong Jiu was the prince's direct cousin, Emperor Ming naturally did not want him to marry into a capable family. The Xie family was the help he found for his fourth son. If a daughter of the Xie family married Rong Jiu, she would be indirectly related to the prince by marriage. relation.
Xie Bo, that old fox, is deep in thought and wonders if he will also go to the East Palace.
The prince was the crown prince and had the upper hand in terms of status. Those Qingliu families valued this most, so he gave the fourth son in marriage the eldest daughter of Xie Bo, who was quite famous among civil servants.
"I have no interest in Xie's daughter at first, not to mention that now that I have a beauty in my arms, I am not in a hurry for anything else!"
Rong Jiu said lazily.
"You are beautiful and good at everything, but you don't look serious at all!"
"Okay, your parents will take care of your marriage, so I don't need to worry about it. Just step back!"
Emperor Ming waved his hand and dismissed the people.
"I resign!"
Rong Jiu stood up and saluted and walked slowly to Yu Linwei's residence.
"Say it!"
When the figure in front walked away, Emperor Ming whispered to behind him.
"Duke Jingguo did deal with the maid named Qingxing, and angrily called Young Master Rong Wu to come for questioning. However, in the end, Young Master Rong was not punished. Duke Jingguo even made a rare trip to the main courtyard in the evening!"
The plain-looking guard standing by the stands knelt down on one knee and reported.
"Your Majesty, this matter in Duke Jingguo's palace is originally secret, and it involves the prince, but the fifth young master Rong said it so straightforwardly, which shows that he is a simple-minded man, and the prince has tried to win over him several times these days. This You just have to go your own way."
Yan Song, the chief chamberlain beside Emperor Ming, said in a low voice.
Emperor Ming was noncommittal and pondered secretly for a long time.
Rong Yanbo's military power of the Six Guards was a worry for Emperor Ming, but not to mention that Rong Yanbo was unwilling to give up the military power in his hands. Even if he was willing to hand it over at this moment, he would not be able to accept it.
After all, Rong Yanbo not only had the merit to support his ascension to the throne, but also had solid military achievements and was extremely prestigious in the army.
Therefore, he had been holding back on Duke Jing's invitation to establish a heir apparent. On the surface, he said that he could not slap the queen's face, and he could not ignore Rong Yanbo's wishes. But in fact, he wanted the Duke's palace to fight among themselves and cause trouble.
At that time, he will take the opportunity to find out the mistake and take back the military power as a matter of course.
But somehow, nothing big happened in these years. He couldn't wait any longer.
But if Rong Jiu is really a freewheeling dandy, it would be a choice for him to successfully inherit the title of the Duke of this country. The East Palace will definitely take action by then, and he will follow the trend and let Rong Jiu get the military power first, and then Make a plan...
This is a good idea.
"Your Majesty is overjoyed!"
At this time, a chamberlain ran up from the stands, knelt on the ground and congratulated him loudly.
"Beauty Wang has just given birth to a son safely, and the Queen specially sent her slaves to announce the good news!"
Before Yan Song could scold him, the waiter had already reported happily.
"Go to Kunfeng Palace!"
After ten years, another prince was born in the harem. Even Emperor Ming was a little excited and stood up suddenly and said hurriedly.
The tenth prince landed safely. Emperor Ming was overjoyed when he saw it. He not only promoted Wang Meiren to the title of Chongyuan, but also gave his father a third-grade official with a silver-blue Guanglu doctor. He also praised the queen's virtues in front of all the concubines. Concubine Wei Xian I almost tore the veil in my hand on the spot.
For the Wang family, it can be said that one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
…
That evening, Rong Jiu returned home on duty, but instead of going back to the yard, she asked Xingyun to bring Tao Ye to the door.
"Come up!"
As soon as Tao Ye saluted, Rong Jiu opened the curtain next to the carriage and gave instructions.
"The people from Yunzhou are back!"
Hearing this, Taoye suddenly raised his head.
"Let's talk about it when we meet your elder brother!"
The hope, panic, and fear in the little maid's eyes were so obvious that Rong Jiu felt a little pity in her heart when she thought about the news that had just been delivered to her hands.
"Your mother's life is safe, but I have to ask your elder brother for the specific details!"
Seeing the worried look on the little maid's face, Rong Jiu mentioned something again.
The place she went to was Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon, but Taoye couldn't care about anything else now. She just wanted to know the situation of her mother and eldest brother as soon as possible.
It's still the same room on the second floor, and the one who opens the door is Hung Hom.
"Young Master Pei and Young Master Chu are already waiting inside!"
Hong Xiao said and got out of the way.
"Ah Yuan!"
Chu Yizuo was obviously not used to this place and looked quite unnatural, but when he saw Tao Ye coming in, he quickly stood up and came forward to greet her.
Taoye was held in Rong Jiu's arms and could only smile at her eldest brother, but she was anxious in her heart, so her smile was a little forced, which made Chu Yizuo feel pain in her heart, thinking that her sister had been wronged again.
"Sit down first!"
Seeing the changes in the expressions of the brother and sister, Rong Jiu walked to the table and sat down.
"Brother Rong, if Ayuan has..."
As soon as he sat down, Chu Yizuo wanted to say a few words for his sister.
"Brother Chu, let's take a look at this first!"
Rong Jiu signaled Pei Weinan to take out the things.
