Li Hao was really unsure about what decision Emperor Wen would make on this matter, and whether he would allow Prince Naqu Lengjun to enter the palace.
In addition, regarding Qu Lingjun's situation, according to Li Hao's idea, it would be best for the prince to meet her a few times to recall their past feelings and clarify them.
Now that Qu Lengjun didn't know anything about it, the news suddenly broke. Li Hao was worried that it would be self-defeating and make Qu Lengjun take the opposite path.
Worried about the future, Li Hao left the house and rushed to Liang's house, intending to see the Liang family's reaction on this matter.
As a result, before Li Hao arrived, he saw the Qu family's carriage in the distance on the way. Judging from the direction, it should be heading to the Liang family, and he probably heard the rumors outside.
Sure enough, when Li Hao arrived at the main house of the Liang Mansion, the Qu family's father and son, Liang Wuji, and Liang Yu's mother and son were all here, all with serious faces.
Among them, Liang Yu's face was the most ugly, and she was still shouting: "What does the prince mean by this? Is he trying to use his power to rob me of my minister's marriage? How can my Liang family, which has been a century-old family, suffer this humiliation?" Liang Wuji heard this. He said angrily: "Auntie, please be careful. We still don't know the reason for this matter. How can we make unreasonable comments about the prince?" Then Qu Enlin on the side also said: "If you don't make unreasonable comments about the prince, let's talk about it separately. Our Qu family has not agreed yet." As for this marriage, you'd better be more careful what you say." As soon as these words came out, Liang Yu and Liang Shang's expressions froze, but Liang Xia had always been dissatisfied with Liang Shang's marriage, and now he felt somewhat agitated when things changed. gloat.
Immediately, Liang Lao didn't bother to denounce the prince and was about to fire on Qu Enlin. However, Liang Wuji saw Li Hao standing in front of the door and said loudly: "Aang is here. I want you to listen to the news from outside." I said, just come in and discuss it together." This interruption relieved Liang Yu's momentum, and then Liang Wuji continued to say to the Qu family and his son: "Grandpa, Rong Da, I know that you concealed Xianfu's parentage from my family. I am dissatisfied. This matter is indeed the fault of my Yuan family. So if the Qu family has other plans, I will not complain at all. I also believe that the friendship between the Liang and Qu families for more than ten years will not break up because of a marriage. ." After hearing this, the Qu family's father and son were much less angry at Liang Yu, but the moods of Liang Yu, mother and son were all different.
Because all three of them knew that if Liang Wuji no longer supported this matter, then Liang Shang would never have the chance to marry Qu Lengjun. With Liang Shang's reputation, it would be difficult to marry such a good girl.
And the most important thing is that without the help of the Qu family, even with Liang Wuji's promise, Liang Shang still has no confidence that he will successfully succeed as the head of the family.
So Liang Shang was naturally very anxious. On the other hand, Liang Xia suddenly had more expectations in his heart. After all, this way, the gap between him and Liang Shang would be smaller, and maybe he would also have the opportunity to get involved in the position of the head of the family.
Liang Shang couldn't sit still anymore and said immediately: "What does the head of the family mean by these words? The marriage relationship between the Liang and Qu families for several generations is not important to the head of the family." Liang Yu is now He also fell into a state of incompetent rage and shouted loudly: "Okay, you only got this position because of the grace of your late husband, but now you dare to bully our orphans and widowed mothers like this. I will seek justice from the clan leader and clan elders for this matter." ." After saying that, he pulled Liang Shang up and went out. Naturally, Liang Xia would not stay here, so he also left together.
After the place was clean, Li Hao said: "It has not been easy for my uncle these years. Do you want me to write a letter to Jiaodong and ask my mother to take action? After all, it will be easier for her to take action." Liang Wuji shook his head and said : "Forget it, don't disturb your mother's purity with this little thing. I will explain it to the clan leader and elders then, and they will understand. Let's talk about business now."
"I would like to ask if the prince has had contact with your daughter-in-law recently, and whether this rumor is true or false. Everyone here is a sensible person, and I hope the prince will tell the truth." Liang Wuji said to the Qu family and his son.
Hearing this, Taigong Qu replied: "My daughter has never had any contact with the prince. These days, Lord Leng has been staying in the house and has never left the house. And after hearing the news, I also asked Lord Leng for questioning." However, she also made it clear that since the prince got married, she has never even exchanged letters. For this reason, I also ordered someone to check the people she has been in contact with. At least in the recent period, no one has written letters on her behalf, so We are also very surprised about this rumor. Because of this, we are also worried that this is something done to target the relationship between the two families, so we came here." Liang Wuji heard this and said: "Since the prince has never had contact with your daughter-in-law, then I guess it was not the prince's intention. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would try to be safe in everything and would not act arbitrarily. In this case, there is only the possibility that someone is targeting the prince. After all, if it is to sow discord between the two families, it should be in If the two families get married and then show up, then they will really be riding a tiger. But what I can't figure out is that if you want to target the prince, what is the use of making this fuss? After all, the prince has no such intention, as long as he is here After clarifying the matter in front of His Majesty, there is no need to do anything after that, and the matter will naturally calm down and have no big impact on the prince." This is also the strangest thing about the Qu family and his son. After all, the matter involves the prince and Qu. , Liang family, the mastermind behind this thing can't be just for disgusting people.
On the contrary, they all understood the first two rumors and thought that they were just to pave the way for the third rumor.
Among the four people present, Li Hao was the one who knew the cause and effect. If the prince really had no such intention, then the matter was indeed as Liang Wuji said.
But who allowed the prince to be distracted by Li Hao? I am afraid that the prince should have expressed his attitude in front of Emperor Wen and Queen Xuan now.
Li Hao knew that he had been in contact with the prince during this period, and Liang Wuji would definitely question him later. The private conversation between him and the prince yesterday definitely couldn't be hidden from anyone, so he simply jumped out.
"Actually, the prince went to the manor to see me yesterday and asked about the marriage between the two families, so I feel that the prince's side may not have this idea at all." Hearing this, Liang Wuji and the others all looked over. And asked: "What specifically did the prince ask, and how did you answer it." Li Hao replied: "The prince just heard the previous rumors, so he came to ask whether the rumors were true or not. I don't know the truth about the uncle here. If it's false, there's no way to talk about it. As for other things, it's not a secret at all, so I just told the truth. At that time, he looked a little wrong, but he didn't think much about it. I just heard this rumor today, so this I rushed over immediately." Through Li Hao's explanation, the situation became a little clearer now. It seemed that the prince himself had this intention, and then he was taken advantage of.
If this is the case, then the Qu family now has a choice, that is, whether to work hard on this matter and send Lord Qu Leng to the East Palace.
After all, the Qu, Liang, and Yuan families do have no one in the center. If Qu Lengjun can enter the East Palace, it will give the three families a place in the capital, which is a good thing for the three families.
As for the so-called principal wife of the East Palace, they really didn't take it seriously. After all, she was from a humble family and she was not favored. Her ability to secure the position of Crown Princess depended entirely on the tolerance of Queen Xuan and the Crown Prince.
But to what extent this kind of tolerance can go, as long as she makes a few mistakes and tests the patience of Queen Xuan and the Crown Prince, there is always a way to deal with it.
Of course, all this is just a hypothesis. After all, they also understand that this matter ultimately depends on Emperor Wen's attitude, and this is not something that the three families can interfere with. Otherwise, they would not have allowed the prince to marry the Sun family in the first place.
Fortunately, this is not the position of the principal concubine after all. I guess Emperor Wen may not be so entangled, so they can only comfort themselves in this way.
Immediately, the Qu family father and son stood up to leave, and said: "When I return home this time, I will explain this matter to Leng Jun and listen to her opinion. If Qu Lengjun insists on refusing, then we father and son are not willing to force it. She, I hope you can understand." Liang Wuji replied: "This is natural, this is a family matter of the Qu family, you can make your own decisions." After receiving Liang Wuji's reply, the two of them turned their attention to Li Hao, so Li Hao He had no choice but to say: "This is natural. I think if my father is here, he will agree with what my cousin said." After receiving the answer, the Qu family and his son left the Liang Mansion. At this time, Liang Wuji suddenly said to Li Hao: "You and the prince When you said those words, had you already thought about sending Lord Qu Leng to the East Palace?" Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down and replied: "Why did my uncle say that? There are many twists and turns in this. Yes, I never thought of it at the time!" Liang Wuji said: "Nowadays, many people say that your brother is quick and smart, but I know that in terms of agility and change, you are still above him. This is not a disadvantage, but in I want to talk to you a few more words about this matter. I think with your intelligence, you will definitely not be able to hide your parents’ affairs from you. So you should understand that the marriage between a man and a woman is better between you and me, otherwise you will feel sorry for it. Life is so unfortunate. Of course, I know you will say that the two of them have feelings, but things have changed, and except for themselves, who can say what this relationship is like now." Now that Liang Wuji had guessed it, Li Hao said He told the truth: "I did have plans for this matter, but my original intention was not like this. In my expectation, because of the prince's character, he would definitely take action after discussing with Qu Lengjun. Moreover, the prince and I would When he spoke, there was no one else around. Who would have thought that he would make such a mistake and have someone spread the news the next day. This prince is really..." Liang Wuji heard this and said: "Forget it. Well, let’s see how the Qu family and the palace respond to this matter. You and I will not interfere anymore.” Li Hao also agreed, and then said goodbye to Liang Wuji and left.
In the next few days, there was no movement either in the Qu family or in the palace. Only the rumors spread in the capital and became more and more exaggerated. Many versions of the story about the prince and Qu Lengjun were derived.
This incident made Li Hao want to go to the East Palace. Although Liang Wuji said not to interfere at will, there is no problem in asking for information.
It happened that the wooden curtains and ladders inside the siege equipment had been completed, so Li Hao went to the East Palace in the name of inviting the prince to come over for inspection.
But what Li Hao didn't expect was that the reply he got from the East Palace was that the prince had gone out early and returned late in the past few days, and was never in the East Palace during the day. As for what he went to do, Li Hao couldn't inquire further.
There was no other way, so Li Hao could only leave a message and then left the palace on his own. As a result, when he walked out of the palace gate, Li Hao only felt someone staring at him from behind.
Suddenly looking back, there were only a few guards at the palace gate, and they were all doing their own thing, which made Li Hao think that he felt wrong.
It wasn't until Li Hao turned around to take a look when he stepped into the carriage that he suddenly found a person standing on the city wall wearing palace clothes, who was completely different from the surrounding guards.
After taking another closer look, Li Hao recognized who it was, and his evaluation of the prince was a little worse. Because the person standing on top was the Crown Princess Sun, it was obvious that she knew that the Crown Prince had asked her to question her, and thought that the Crown Prince Naqu Lengjun's thoughts were related to her, so she came to the city gate to recognize him.
But Li Hao is not too worried about Sun. Anyway, with her ability, she can provoke Liang Shang. If she really dares to deal with him, Li Hao will dig a hole for her.
After closing the carriage door, Li Hao ordered the coachman to set off and return to the manor. After all, the production of siege equipment was in the final stage. Li Hao decided to spend some time to supervise it so that nothing would go wrong and delay the construction period.
It's just that Li Hao didn't supervise him for two days, and then a palace servant came to deliver the message, asking Li Hao to enter the palace tomorrow to see him.
Then under Li Hao's money offensive, although he didn't find out what happened specifically, he also knew the news. In addition to himself, someone from the Qu family and the Liang family had summoned him, and they would all enter the palace together tomorrow.
After seeing off the servants, Li Hao fell into deep thought. He summoned the Liang family and the Qu family into the palace. It must be for Qu Lengjun's marriage. It seemed that Emperor Wen had made a decision.
But why did he call him into the palace? Could it be because of what he and the prince said at the manor? It shouldn't be.
As for the plans he had made before, Li Hao was still confident that they would not be discovered. After all, those secret agents were now alive and well and had not been hunted down.
Really unable to figure it out, Li Hao had to return to the city immediately and went to Liang Mansion to find Liang Wuji and asked him if he had any ideas. As a result, he met the Qu family and his son again here.
They were very surprised that Li Hao was called into the palace. They didn't understand why Emperor Wen made such an arrangement, but they couldn't think of a specific idea.
The only gain for Li Hao is that he knows that not only the father and son of the Qu family will go back tomorrow, but that Qu Lengjun will also enter the palace tomorrow.
Since nothing could be discussed, Li Hao could only go back home on his own and meet again tomorrow to make plans. Early the next morning, the three families gathered at the palace gate. This was the first time Li Hao saw Qu Lengjun after several years. Compared with the youthful days when he was young.
Now she has fully grown, and she is graceful and graceful, with white skin and beautiful face, and her eyes are even more warm and charming.
