After meeting Sheng Changquan, Rong Feiyan immediately ran back home happily and found Mr. Rong hiding alone in the study.
Now Mr. Rong is no longer as leisurely as before. He is sighing constantly.
It seemed that he was worried about his precious girl.
"father!"
Rong Feiyan broke in from the outside, ran to Master Rong with a smile on her face, opened her mouth and called out twice: "Dad~"
"Um?"
Rong Feiyan ignored her father's surprised look and continued: "Dad, my daughter has something to discuss with you!"
"What?"
At this time, Mr. Rong was still a little unresponsive!
"This...this...what is going on?"
"Why did my girl suddenly return to normal?"
Mr. Rong was a little confused. He didn’t know what happened to Rong Feiyan.
However, Rong Feiyan didn't wait for Master Rong to think about it. She opened her mouth and immediately said what Sheng Changquan said from beginning to end.
Because the atmosphere in the Rong family was good and relatives lived in harmony, Rong Feiyan didn't want to hide anything. At most, she didn't tell her daughter's family's little thoughts because of her own shyness.
But aside from that, she said everything.
"Dad, this is what it is, do you think it is?"
After Rong Feiyan finished telling the whole thing, she immediately looked at Mr. Rong eagerly, hoping that he would agree with her idea.
"ah?"
"What?"
Only now did Mr. Rong slowly come to his senses.
"Daughter, what are you doing?"
Mr. Rong asked hesitantly.
The first thing Mr. Rong thought about when he came back to his senses was not to think about what Rong Feiyan said. His mind was only focused on another more important thing.
"Huh? What?"
Rong Feiyan was a little confused by Rong Gui's words. She didn't understand what her father meant and was a little confused.
"this……"
Mr. Rong carefully thought about the words in his mind and asked tentatively: "Daughter!"
"you……"
"Are you attracted to that boy?"
Rong Gui was still a man after all, and he actually opened his mouth and spoke his true feelings without any tactful words.
"ah?"
Rong Feiyan's face turned red and she suddenly felt a little shy.
"Dad, you...what are you talking about?"
Although Rong Feiyan was denying it, her voice became softer and softer. In Master Rong's eyes, it was like she was nodding silently.
When Mr. Rong saw this scene, his eyes suddenly turned black!
"this?"
"Why is this happening again?"
Mr. Rong only felt that his daughter's vision was becoming more and more unique!
Starting from the young prince of the Duke of Qi, Qi Heng, who was known as the most beautiful man in Tokyo, and then to the benefactor who didn't reveal his true face.
The former attracted much attention because of his excellence, causing everyone to compete for him. Rong Feiyan even suffered disaster because of it, and was tricked by the people of Prince Yong's Palace!
If it hadn't been for the intervention of a "noble person", Rong Feiyan's fate would have been truly unpredictable.
However, how grateful Rong Gui was to this "noble man" before, how much hatred he feels in his heart now!
"This guy!"
Mr. Rong felt aggrieved: "Either I don't love my girls, or they fall in love with those weird guys!"
In Rong Gui's eyes, Qi Heng is not a good match because he is too attractive!
However, Sheng Changquan is not a good guy, because although he does not attract bees and butterflies, it is purely because he does not show his face at all!
If you don't show your true colors to others, what else can you talk about?
"Dad~"
When Rong Feiyan saw her father in a daze, she immediately started acting coquettishly: "Dad, can you cooperate with your benefactor and do this well?"
After being begged repeatedly by his daughter, Mr. Rong could only sigh again and said helplessly: "Okay!"
"Just think of this as repaying someone's kindness!"
He secretly glanced at his precious daughter, who was secretly happy, with a trace of sadness on her face again.
"When will my daughter become more reliable?"
…
In fact, the reason why Rong Gui agreed to what Rong Feiyan said was not just because he was a daughter slave and could fully satisfy all the requirements of his precious daughter.
In the eyes of this old fox, he had already weighed the pros and cons of this matter.
First of all, what he did would not cause any loss to the Rong family. At the same time, he could repay Sheng Changquan's favor and have one less thing to worry about.
Of course, this was his thought before he met Rong Feiyan.
After all, at that time, Mr. Rong never thought that his girl would fall in love with such a "hidden head and tail" guy.
In fact, in Rong Gui's heart, there is another invisible benefit of doing this, which is that it can completely eliminate Rong Feiyan's thoughts about Qi Heng.
Although Rong Feiyan had made it clear before that she didn't like Qi Heng, Rong Gui was not sure that the other party could really keep his word. If he did this, it would be able to end the bad blood between the two in one fell swoop. It’s fate!
Tell me, how can this not make Master Rong happy?
Therefore, after he agreed to Rong Feiyan, he naturally took action immediately.
First of all, he first found someone to talk to his eldest daughter Rong Zhixian, and deliberately asked her to reveal in front of Princess Yong that he intended to ask the official to grant a marriage when Princess Yong entered the palace. This is used to force the other party into chaos.
At the same time, Mr. Rong also began to be constantly active in the court, and his words intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to the political views of the Duke of Qi, in order to create the illusion of harmony between the two families.
The two moving at the same time naturally aroused the idea of Prince Yong's Mansion.
It was precisely because of this that King Yong, regardless of the means, directly dragged the Duke of Qi into the palace. It was called drinking, but in fact it was a detention, and let the remaining people of the Duke of Qi come to the house on their own.
The most important thing is that the mother and son of Princess Pingning come to the house to decide the Qin and Jin affairs between the two families.
…
The Duke's Mansion of Qi.
"Mother!"
Qi Heng angrily pushed open the door of Qi Guogong and his wife's room. He rarely lost his grace and shouted loudly: "Mother, why are you...ah?"
In the room, before Qi Heng finished his words of accusation, he suddenly saw the decadent look of Princess Pingning!
"Mother, what are you..."
Seeing that his mother, who had always been strong, looked frightened at this moment, Qi Heng could no longer care about anything else!
At this time, let alone death just because of inaction, even if Sheng Changquan died, Qi Heng would definitely put his mother first.
Of course, this is also because the relationship between him and Sheng Changquan is not friendly. Although they have been classmates for many years and have Minglan in contact, there is always a gap between them.
If it were Minglan, there might still be a different conclusion.
"Mother, you...what's wrong with you?"
Qi Heng pushed aside Sang's mother, who was supporting Princess Pingning, and asked with a worried look on his face.
When Mother Sang saw this scene, she immediately glanced at the maids next to her, and then slowly retreated out with them, preparing to leave the room to the mother and son.
"Heng'er!"
Princess Pingning no longer looked as graceful and graceful as she had in the daytime. Her face was bleak and her expression was frightened. Her whole body was like an old chrysanthemum that had been beaten by wind and rain, as feeble and helpless as ever.
"Heng'er, your father..."
Princess Pingning grabbed Qi Heng and said in a choked voice: "Your father was detained by people from Prince Yong's Mansion!"
"What!"
Qi Heng finally understood why Princess Pingning looked like this!
"Mother, why did King Yong do this?"
Qi Heng immediately thought of government affairs.
"Could it be that my father has political disagreements with King Yong and he wants to take this as revenge on his father?"
After hearing this, Princess Pingning shook her head and expressed her denial.
"Heng'er, the reason why your father was embarrassed by Prince Yong's Palace this time is not because of that!"
Seeing Qi Heng's worried look, Princess Pingning whispered the reason.
“The reason why Prince Yong’s Palace is doing this is because they want you to marry their girl—the head of Jiacheng County!”
Shocking!
"Marry...the Lord of Jiacheng County?"
Qi Heng struggled to spit out these words from his throat, with shock and anger on his face!
"Mother, do they still have the royal law in their eyes?"
"Could it be that they dare to detain a first-grade Duke just because of his daughter's marriage?"
Qi Heng lost his voice.
He never thought that the cause of this incident would be so weird!
Princess Pingning shook her head and said helplessly: "Heng'er, why don't you understand?"
"This King Yong will be the king from now on!"
Seeing Qi Heng, she still didn't understand, so Princess Pingning had no choice but to clarify the matter.
"Heng'er, the official family is already old. The future position of the East Palace can only fall into the hands of King Yong or King Yan!"
"But now King Yong has the upper hand in this situation. Most of the ministers in the court are siding with King Yong, trying to have the power of following the dragon. Although King Yan also has many supporters in the court, he is the one who has failed to produce an heir. The biggest flaw!”
Speaking of this, Princess Pingning's eyes flashed with a glint, which seemed inconsistent with her current state, but Qi Heng was so shocked that he didn't notice it at all.
"So, King Yong is the general trend in front of us!"
"His words can almost be regarded as an imperial edict!"
Princess Pingning took Qi Heng's hand and said pleadingly: "Heng'er, mother, please go to Prince Yong's Mansion and bring your father back!"
After hearing this, Qi Heng naturally would not refuse.
"Mother, I...get it!"
In this situation, Qi Heng could only lower his head and accept his fate!
Because he finally understood the situation that the Duke of Qi was facing.
"Heng'er, I've wronged you!"
Princess Pingning comforted Qi Heng, with a trace of unbearable expression on her face.
…
When Qi Heng was riding in the palace carriage to Prince Yong's Mansion, Mother Sang suddenly walked up to Princess Pingning and asked in a low voice: "Princess Princess!"
"If we plot against the young master like this, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
At this time, Princess Pingning still had the slightest hint of panic!
She smoothed her bun and regained her composure: "You should know that I am doing this for Heng'er's good!"
Princess Pingning's tone was indifferent, and there was even a trace of relief in her pupils. She glanced at Mama Sang, who looked hesitant, and said, "Mother Sang, you should know my painstaking efforts."
"This child, Heng'er, absolutely cannot marry the concubine of a fifth-grade official!"
Princess Pingning said categorically: "What's more, Princess Yong from Prince Yong's Palace came to visit in person and wanted my family to agree to the marriage between Heng'er and Princess Jiacheng. How could I refuse?"
Mother Sang said nothing, obviously knowing what Princess Pingning meant.
"Alas~"
At the moment, without Qi Heng present, Princess Pingning simply spoke out.
"Actually, what I just said is not all false!"
"The current situation in the court is indeed as I said just now. King Yong has the upper hand. Even if something unexpected happens to the official family in the future, King Yong is indeed the most likely to ascend to the throne!"
"If I reject Princess Yong's proposal now, what will happen to our Duke of Qi in the future?"
"If we are really resented by Prince Yong's Mansion, then our entire family is destined to decline!"
The determination in Princess Pingning's eyes became even more decisive!
"So, I was right!"
"Besides, I am doing this for the good of Heng'er and the girl from the Sheng family!"
Faced with Mama Sang's confused look, Princess Pingning explained: "If I hadn't said something nice, how could Prince Yong's Palace have let this girl from the Sheng family go?"
"If they really want to deal with this Sheng family girl, they shouldn't even do it themselves!"
"As long as you let out some words, someone else will definitely take action to please Prince Yong's Palace."
Princess Pingning expressed another layer of her thoughts.
"But things are different now. If I intervene, then the Yong Palace will naturally not take action against the Sheng family girl. This can be regarded as some compensation for Heng'er from me, a mother!"
Having said this, it is actually not difficult to see the kind side of Princess Pingning's heart.
After all, what she said was right. If it really comes to that point, the Yong Palace will definitely attack Minglan!
Based on the character of the Jiacheng County Lord and Princess Yong, it is estimated that no matter how fearful the civil servants were at that time, they would still take action. In fact, the civil servants at that time were very likely to give up on the Sheng family.
Because at this time, Prince Yong's Mansion was gradually gaining momentum!
Otherwise, no matter how crazy King Yong is, he would not dare to forcibly detain a prince.
Of course, the whole thing tonight was planned and coordinated by Princess Pingning and the people from Prince Yong's Mansion. In the Duke of Qi's Mansion, no one else knew about this except Princess Pingning.
Even Qi Guogong acted in his true colors without knowing anything about it.
The purpose of Princess Pingning's doing this was to let Qi Heng gain access to the power of Prince Yong's Palace so that he could rise to prominence and revitalize the family business.
…
Shengfu.
"Ah! Brother Bai is back!"
Although Sheng Changbai returned home after dark, everyone in the Sheng family was still waiting for him and news about him.
Because of an anecdote from the Taizong Dynasty, the palace examinations of this dynasty were not announced until the next day. However, despite this, the candidates themselves were still vaguely aware of their results.
At this time, everyone in the Sheng family was waiting for Sheng Changbai's own feelings and wanted to hear what he had to say.
