After the morning court, the emperor returned to the imperial study. Before he could sit down, he received a note from Princess Qingping's mansion.
After the emperor opened it and looked at it, he laughed angrily, "This Qingping immediately went to the rescue to defend someone. This is the first time I have seen her so eager to defend someone other than the consort and Duanhua. This Su Rong doesn't look good. It’s simple.”
The emperor knew her sister Qingping's temper best, and she wouldn't give a single look to anyone she disliked. They would even tell people to get away, and they would never let anyone enter the princess' mansion, and even after staying there for such a long time, they still wouldn't let them go.
Li Quan asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to summon someone to the palace for an audience?"
The emperor shook his head, "She's just a concubine."
Li Quan said quickly: "Yes, she is not worthy of His Majesty's special visit."
The emperor suppressed Princess Qingping's papers and planned to have someone re-examine today's impeachment of Su Xu at the court tomorrow morning, so he threw Qingping's papers to him for him to read.
In the emperor's opinion, such a trivial matter could neither break the muscles nor break the bones, so it was really unnecessary. Just like what Qingping said to his personal nanny, the emperor also felt that Yan Li was not very generous and would not be able to achieve success. If he were Yan Li, he would wait for the opportunity and would not use the impeachment method to make up for the face he lost yesterday.
When it comes to his most outstanding and successful son, he is undoubtedly the prince. But it was so customary that it made him feel uneasy. But now, it is just right that the government is stable and has checks and balances. He does not need Yan Li to be too powerful or outstanding, as long as he can check and balance the prince. Otherwise, thousands of years later, future generations will judge history and conclude that all his political achievements during his reign were all because he had a good son? Where to put him?
Naturally, the second princess Zhang Wan would not post to Su Rong to invite people to the palace again. Just when Su Rong thought that no one would dare to invite her again, many posts were posted to the princess's palace. Unlike the eldest prince, The concubine only made one post to Duan Hua, but asked Duan Hua to bring Su Rong, but Duan Hua took the initiative and added Fengling in the reply. Now there are three posts, one from Duan Hua and one from Duan Hua. One share belongs to Su Rong and one share belongs to Fengling.
There are dozens of posts, some inviting people to come over for tea, some inviting people over to have a banquet, some inviting people to go out for an autumn outing, in short, there are all kinds of reasons for invitations.
Duan Hua took the posts and looked at them one by one, "Well, the posts from Prince Ruian's Mansion, the posts from Shen Mansion, the Minister of Civil Affairs, the posts from Weiyuan Bo's Mansion... Huh? There is even a post from Cheng Guo Gong's Mansion. This post says, Cheng Guo Gong's Mansion The Grand Duke's granddaughter, Ye Qiuying, is celebrating her birthday in three days, and the Duke Cheng's Palace is planning to host a grand event and invite us to come over and have a banquet."
After she finished speaking, she asked Su Rong, "Is this Ye Qiuying the niece that Ye Guixue sent to the capital?"
"It seems so." Su Rong nodded.
"Ah, then this post should be accepted." Duan Hua said: "There should be an invitation from his family on my mother's side. It seems that the Duke of Chengguo attaches great importance to this granddaughter from the Ye family of the Southern Chu vassal country."
Su Ronxiao said, "Of course we need to take it seriously. After all, Mr. Ye is still living in the Chengguo Palace."
Duan Hua blinked, "So, we can see Young Master Ye?"
"Maybe."
Duan Hua turned to look at the post again, "You know Xie Lin? The post from Prince Ruian's Palace is tomorrow, and the person who posted it is Princess Ruian. It said that your eldest brother was also invited, in order to thank Xie Lin for the Su family's care when he was in Jiangning County. .Are you going to the banquet tomorrow?"
"go."
Duan Hua nodded, picked the post aside, and frowned, "The day after tomorrow, Mrs. Shen said that she would send someone to pick you and Fengling up to stay at the Shen Mansion. The post said that if I can't bear to leave you, I can follow you. Staying in Shen Mansion for a while, this..."
She hesitated, "Isn't this bad?"
Su Rong said: "Aunt Shen is probably afraid that you won't be able to let me go and will keep you here for a few more days, and you won't be able to take me away, so that's why you said this."
Duan Hua blushed, "What's wrong with you living in the Princess Mansion?"
Su Rong said: "It's good, but I can't leave my eldest brother alone in Shen's Mansion. Let's do this. The post said that he would pick me up the day after tomorrow, so I went back. You can come with me to Shen's Mansion as a guest, so you don't have to I stayed in Shen Mansion with me. Anyway, I was not going to stay in Shen Mansion for a few days, so I planned to move to Xie Mansion in Dongsi Hutong with my eldest brother. However, as long as I stayed in Beijing,
In the city, people come and go every day, so it’s easy for you to find me. "
Duanhua was unhappy and didn't want Su Rong to leave, "Can't we stay for a few more days?"
Su Rong teased her, "You might as well marry me."
Duan Hua stretched out his hand to pinch her, and the two of them immediately burst into laughter.
Fengling was eating melon seeds on the side, looking at the painting book, and gave the reason, "Princess, I don't think you can stay here anymore. I'm almost tired of you being the cook of the princess's house."
Before Duanhua could get angry, he added: "What's more, we can't stay in the princess's mansion forever. You have to think about the princess and the prince-in-law. We sisters are in trouble now."
Duan Hua hummed, "My parents are not afraid of trouble."
"No matter how much you are His Majesty's biological niece, you are not as good as his biological son. The princess is His Majesty's biological sister, but she is not as close as his biological son." Fengling said: "The eldest prince is eyeing the Su family. As long as the Su family doesn't want to We just want to take advantage of it. If we continue to live in the Princess Mansion, if we don’t do it right, it will affect the Princess Mansion.”
Duan Hua frowned, "It's not that bad. The princess's mansion is not made of paper. Are you still worried about getting involved?"
"You are wrong." Fengling said: "What I mean is that we no longer live in the princess's mansion, so the princess's mansion can escape. And if we are in trouble, we can also ask you for help. The princess is here for me today Sister, you have already protected us if you get the discount. When we learn that we have repaid the favor, we should leave immediately."
Duan Hua was not angry, "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go."
It wasn't that she didn't understand, or she was addicted to having people play with her in the princess mansion. Growing up, apart from her parents, she was surrounded by a bunch of servants. Finally, after the Su Rong sisters came, she realized that she was not bored in the mansion. But Su Rong and Fengling were right. As long as they stayed in the capital, she could go find them no matter where they were.
In the morning of the next day, the official brought up the old matter again, and there was no way to impeach Su Xu's goddaughter. The emperor snorted, as if he had expected that this person would not give up, and simply threw Princess Qingping's information on the minister's head. , "See for yourself!"
The minister was hit on the head by the book, but he did not dare to complain. He opened Princess Qingping's book. After reading it, his face changed and he broke into a cold sweat.
"There is a saying that if you are not strict in running the family, you will not be able to teach your daughter well. Liu Aiqing, what about you? What is written in Qingping's book is true? Are you strict in running the family?" The emperor asked aloud.
The man was speechless. He thought that the matter with her daughter happened two months ago and had already passed. Who knew that Princess Qingping would find out about it. Who would have thought that the person he was impeaching was Su Xu, but Princess Qingping stood up and protected her. He was speechless for a moment and fell to his knees, "My lord, my lord..."
"If you can't argue with me, just do what Qing Ping said, take off your hat, go back and think about it, and then come back and become an official again!" The emperor waved his hand.
Someone came in from outside and quickly took off the official's court uniform and took him out. It was useless to let the official named Liu cry and beg for mercy.
The eldest prince's faction was shocked, and the second prince's faction was also shocked.
Without waiting for anyone to beg for mercy, the emperor gave the eldest prince a cold look and ordered, "Retreat from the court."
The courtiers fell silent, then fell to their knees and shouted long live the mountain.
The eldest prince Yan Li's heart trembled at the emperor's glance, and he suddenly understood that his father felt that in order to regain his face, he secretly encouraged people to make a fuss out of molehills, make big things out of small things, find small mistakes in others, and lose his self-restraint.
His face turned pale. Although his father was no longer an official of Mr. Liu, he was giving him a warning.
The second prince, Yan Lin, also understood and thought that his father would not order Su Xu, the governor of Jiangzhou, because of a goddaughter's incompetence, but that because of Princess Qingping's failure, Mr. Liu, a fourth-rank official, was the father of many. Do you love Princess Qingping? On the surface, this is true, but in reality, it is a slap in the face to Yan Li.
Yan Lin looked at Yan Huisheng, who was calm and composed at all times. Yesterday, he did not let the East Palace faction move, which obviously made his father very satisfied. If he had moved yesterday, his father would have warned Su Xu. He would not Damn, did you guess that Princess Qingping would get the discount? When it came to guessing his father's thoughts, Yan Huisheng was the most accurate.
Yan Lin's eyes were heavy and he didn't say a word. Along with the courtiers, he came out of Jinluan
temple.
The news of the early morning meeting spread quickly throughout the government. Duanhua was happy to hear it and said to Su Rong: "Isn't my mother so powerful? She doesn't get into trouble easily. Anyone who offended her in the past would always run away. Go to the palace and cry to the emperor's uncle. Only a few times will she get the blame, but as long as she does the discount, my emperor's uncle will definitely turn to her and scold whoever she interferes with, whoever is in trouble will be unlucky."
Su Rong didn't expect this result, so she nodded quickly and sighed, "Well, the princess is really awesome."
Thank you dears for your monthly votes! It’s the last two days of the month! If you still have monthly passes in your hands, don’t keep them! See you tomorrow!
