Chapter 161 Qin Tianjian

Unexpectedly, Shen Congxi came to see King Duan the next day with a look of helplessness.He sighed and said, "I talked with my eldest sister all night last night. My sister didn't agree. She just refused to adopt Kun'er out."

Shen Congxi said somewhat unspeakably:
"Sister said... the second prince's temperament changed drastically after he went to the imperial mausoleum. Although there were three or four concubines who went with him, he didn't touch any of them..."

Xie Ruitang was stunned for a moment. He hadn't heard from Xie Ruiji for a long time, and he really didn't know that his second brother had disregarded etiquette and gone wild.

She also heard Shen Congxi say: "My sister also said that the second prince only has one child, Ping Kun. If he is given to someone else, his child will be cut off from now on. She will never dare to make such a decision. What's more, the second prince Although he was punished to be sent to the imperial mausoleum, he is still there and he doesn't nod. Unless the emperor or the queen mother makes the decision, no one's decision counts."

Shen Shunhua's words were correct, Xie Ruizhang originally wanted to ask the Queen Mother to make the decision.Both of them were silent for a moment.

"It's not that my second brother's temperament has changed drastically. He just doesn't bother to pretend anymore. He's also an idiot." Xie Ruitang sighed and said, "It's not difficult to invite the Queen Mother. It's just because of the blood and incense. Your sister is indeed the same." It's hard to make a decision. Forget it, let's take more precautions first. You send more guards and secret guards to other courtyards, so that Kun'er doesn't go out as much as possible, and there are less opportunities for Dongchang and King Xian to take advantage of."

In the first two days, everyone in the Shen Mansion was very nervous. Shen Shunhua and Xie Pingkun did not leave the front door, nor did they move forward.But there was no movement, so he gradually relaxed.Xie Pingkun began to make noises about going out to ride horses and play, and refused to just stay in the yard.Shen Shunhua couldn't resist the child, so he went to Shen Congxi to discuss it.

"You don't know that Kun'er has climbed up the wall today! The guards saw him and caught him. It's your fault too. You couldn't give him anything else for his fifth birthday, but you have to give him a horse! Today he said I have to go out to see his horse." Shen Shunhua complained, and suddenly burst into tears: "The child is pitiful. Since he was captured, he hasn't even had a bite of lunch in anger."

Shen Congxi even wanted to rush to the next door and beat this naughty kid!He had no choice but to take a breath and comfort his sister: "Children, you will be honest after two hungry meals. Weren't we also hungry when we were children?"

Xian Wangfu.Xie Ruitang listened to Shen Congxi's complaint and said with a smile: "It is really not easy to lock up a five-year-old child in a small two-door courtyard. When we were children, the palace was full of people running around, and we still thought the place was small, right? Now I am here The enemy is in the dark, it's just passive defense, there are always times when it's impossible to guard against it. Since your sister can't accept our suggestion, why not..." Shen Congxi quickly raised her ears and looked at Xie Ruitang.

".Stop and scare the snake!"

"Okay, what are you two playing to scare off the enemy? How dare you not take me with you!" I heard Zhao Xiaohou's voice coming from the window. Zhao Muzhe and Xie Yuanfang walked in one after another. Zhao Muzhe was holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand. The fan kept shaking all the way.

Shen Congxi looked at it and laughed: "Where did you go to find such an ugly fan? This is too inconsistent with your image of a romantic young prince!" Shen Congxi and Zhao Muzhe have loved to be together since they were children. They are closer than brothers. One is a self-proclaimed scholar, the other is called a poet. They run away when they meet, and miss when they don't see each other.

Zhao Muzhe said with a smile: "I just snatched it from Ling Xue. It's ugly, but it's cool! Prince Duan, I want to complain to you. Your great bodyguard is so lazy that he lets a group of brats practice kung fu. But I am fanning myself under the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness."

"Which snake were you trying to lure out of the hole just now?" Prince Chu still remembered what Xie Ruitang said just now and asked.

Xie Ruitang then told the whole story about Xie Pingkun. He said: "Since we don't know when they will take action and it is difficult for us to take precautions, then we will lead them to take action. No matter whether it is King Xian or Ji's family, as long as they take action, there will be someone. Only when there is a flaw can we find an opportunity to fight back."

"How to lead?" the prince asked.

"Let the mother and son go to the temple to pray for blessings to create an opportunity? Or let Kun'er go to the streets alone?" Xie Ruitang tentatively said two things.The prince smiled and said: "You are fishing for Taigong Jiang. What if King Xian doesn't take action? Isn't your effort in vain? Then you might as well let Kun'er go out riding every day, and you will have more opportunities. I have a more ruthless way, It depends on whether you dare to use it."

"Then what's there to be afraid of? It's just that the sky will fall down on you two, and you two will hold it up!" Zhao Muzhe said with a smile.

The prince didn't show off, he glanced at the three of them and said, "I asked Qin Tianjian to report it, saying that there was a celestial phenomenon like two small stars competing for glory. Qin Tianjian is the best at making up stories. I'm sure Concubine Ji will be frightened." I was stunned for a moment, King Xian had to take action in a hurry!"

"You are forcing yourself to go to Liangshan!" Zhao Muzhe slapped the cattail leaf fan and said with a smile: "However, with this move, the matter of establishing a prince will probably be put on the agenda. Have you thought about this? If we don't fight an unprepared battle, we will It’s best to practice on the sand table.”

Shen Congxi shook his head and said: "The Ji family supports King Xian, and Wang Man supports King Kang. Now even if my father and others can unite some ministers to support King Duan, their power is definitely not as powerful as the powerful ministers and the few servants around the emperor. I think the showdown now, The heat is not enough.”

"Hey! Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. Our Yulin Guards, Jingwei, Fifth Army Camp, and Shenji Camp are all vegetarians?" Zhao Muzhe shouted: "If you talk too much, use your mouth. If you can't talk, just take action!" Zhao Muzhe shouted He went to Guangdong and Fujian to suppress Japanese invaders, and when he came back he had a good temper and talked exactly like Cheng Hanbai who had grown up in a military camp.

Xie Ruitang kept smiling and said nothing. He only paid attention to one question: "Xie Yuanfang, you are so shady that no one in Qintian Prison told anyone! If I had known, I could have used the back door to get married at an earlier date. .”

"Whose family doesn't have a few poor relatives? Those are relatives from my mother-in-law's clan. The one you almost beat up last time!" The prince curled his lips and said, "Isn't it just a wedding? Are you so anxious?"

After the emperor proposed marriage, Xie Ruitang wanted to get married as soon as possible, but Zhu Jianzheng, the imperial eunuch, said that Mercury was retrograde in the first half of the year, making it inappropriate to get married, so the date was finally decided on July [-]th.Xie Ruitang was trying to smash the table in Qintian Prison.

Supervisor Zhu really has a way of dressing up and playing tricks.Concubine Ji soon received a report from the Qintian Supervisor: "Wei Chen observed the sky at night and found that in recent days, there have been two small stars competing for their brightness in the east. The two stars are covering each other and getting darker day by day. This is not auspicious, my empress!"

Concubine Ji has spent less time with the emperor recently, and she spends her days worrying about how to preserve her appearance to prevent aging. She may look young, but her heart has known her destiny. She had killed too many concubines and the emperor's heirs in the early years, and she was always afraid of retribution.Now, she is most afraid of hearing some words of fate that are not good for her.

Sure enough, when she heard this, she sat upright in her chair and asked: "Is it just a little star? Does this star have any influence on other people?"

"The rest cannot be seen for the time being, but in the future, when the small star dims, it will have no impact on the big stars around it, I dare not say anything." Zhu Jianzheng answered respectfully.

After Zhu Jianzheng left, the more Concubine Ji thought about it, the more inappropriate she became. She asked Quanfu, "Two little stars vying for glory? To the east? Doesn't the emperor have two grandsons?"

Quanfu nodded and said: "Yes! The second prince's grandson lives in the courtyard of Shen Mansion. He is five years old this year. He once lived in the east. Prince Xian's Mansion has just added an eldest son, and he will also live in the east in the future. But no Just two shining little stars in the east!"

Concubine Ji suddenly realized.
