Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 109 Prince Consort Candidates
Chapter 109 Prince Consort Candidates
When Eunuch Zhang, the head of the imperial court, saw He Lianjin approaching aggressively, his face turned pale with fright, and he even crawled into Yugan Palace to report, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's not good, the Second Highness has come down."
Emperor Yonglong, who was changing clothes to meet the three candidate consorts, was taken aback, then frowned, "I didn't summon him, what did he come for?"
"My son has come to Yugan Palace to be scolded many times since I was young, and I haven't seen how many times my father really summoned me."
He Lianjin's voice had already reached outside the main hall, cynical as always.
Emperor Yonglong dressed and walked out slowly, feeling a little headache.
I haven't seen him for two and a half years, and this bastard son hasn't improved at all.
Sitting on the golden chair, Emperor Yonglong looked down at him condescendingly, "You came into the palace with such vigor, what's the matter?"
I have long been used to this son's dandyism and willfulness, so I don't bother to care about his impolite behavior when he sees the emperor being rude.
If He Lianjin was willing to kneel down obediently to pay his respects to him like before he was ten years old, then he would really be called a ghost.
"Father, are you going to meet the three candidate consorts today?" He Lianjin asked.
"Why, you also want to intervene in this matter?" Emperor Yonglong frowned displeased.
"Shuang'er is my younger sister, why can't I interfere in her marriage?" He Lianjin took it for granted.
"Then what did you do earlier?"
A few days ago, He Lianjin was busy cutting the rotten peach blossoms around his family's Han'er, but he didn't think about it. When he remembered, the choice of son-in-law was almost determined, so he couldn't wait to enter the palace to stop it.
He didn't bother to explain these, and believed that his father didn't care about his explanation, "Shuang'er can't marry."
Emperor Yonglong raised his eyebrows, "You can't marry if you say you can't marry? How about I give you this dragon chair?"
He Lianjin secretly rolled his eyes, the whole of Nanliang will be his in the future, what's the point of his father just saying that he won't let it go?
Emperor Yonglong became angry when he saw his nonchalant look, "If there is nothing wrong, get out, I'm going to the Golden Palace."
He Lianjin thought about it, go, anyway, no matter who you always choose, I have plenty of ways to make him not live long.
Without further words, he turned around and headed towards Weiyang Palace.
Seeing Empress Luo, He Lianjin behaved better than he was in front of Emperor Yonglong, and he did not hesitate to salute and greet him.
Empress Luo came down and carefully measured He Lianjin.
Not seeing each other for two and a half years, this son's appearance is getting better and better, and his facial features are becoming more mature.
"Jin'er, where have you been for the past two years?"
He Lianjin answered some vaguely, but did not tell the whole truth. Of course, he would not tell Queen Luo that he not only cultivated his own influence, but also cultivated her future daughter-in-law along the way.
In the eyes of everyone in the entire palace, he is just an ignorant dude, a moody devil king.
There is no need to change this impression, he thinks it is very good.
"Queen, is Shuang'er going to choose a son-in-law?" He Lianjin asked.
"When you reach the age, if you don't marry again, you should make people laugh."
"Does it have to be through audition to choose a son-in-law?" He Lianjin asked again.
Empress Luo explained, "The audition for the son-in-law is a rule that has existed since your father's ascension to the throne. You should understand that it is to prevent your relatives from being raised, so princesses cannot marry powerful ministers. Even the fourth princess on Shuang'er's head, that is the same. Married through the audition, Jin'er, this matter is about to be finalized, so please stop messing it up, lest something will happen and embarrass your father."
"There are many disadvantages in the audition for a son-in-law. Hasn't the queen mother considered it?"
On Helian's double head, there is only one princess, the fourth princess, He Lianzhu.
Who is He Lianzhu?Concubine Xiao Huanggui's only daughter in her life.
She was the first princess in Nanliang to be married by a consort who was selected by audition. Her consort was pretty handsome, but he was actually incompetent.Probably because it was the first audition when He Lianzhu got married, and the Ministry of Rituals forgot about it, and didn't check the body of the son-in-law carefully, so after He Lianzhu married, she really lived a life of being dumb and eating coptis. .
In front of outsiders, their husband and wife were loving and harmonious, but behind their backs, He Lianzhu was full of resentment, and would often come into the palace to complain to Concubine Xiao Huanggui.
Concubine Xiao Huanggui had to be used to being strong all her life, she never saw her daughter live like this, so she bought a house outside, and raised a few strong and good-looking faces in it.
He Lianzhu would find excuses to leave the mansion every now and then, but in fact, he just went to the mansion to have sex with his friends.
Now it's Helian's turn to come up, how can Helianzhu and Concubine Xiao be reconciled?
So their mother and daughter played tricks in this audition, and the three remaining candidates were all arranged by Concubine Xiao. No matter who Emperor Yonglong finally chose, once Helian Shuang married, the future Life is bound to be miserable.
He Lianjin didn't know about these things until late in the previous life. When he was selecting a consort for Helian Shuanghai in the early stage, no one expected that Concubine Xiao Huanggui would be so vicious and wanted to take the opportunity to murder Helian Shuang, so he didn't realize it in advance. , not to mention failing to prevent it in advance, seeing with his own eyes that Helian Shuang married a son-in-law whom everyone thought was a good one.
Unexpectedly, that son-in-law was a tuberculosis, and died on the night of the wedding before consummating the consummation, and He Lian Shuang has been a widow ever since.
Emperor Yonglong felt very sorry for her, and wanted to choose another son-in-law for her, but He Lianshuang had completely lost his mind on this aspect. She set up a small Buddhist hall in her mansion, ate fast and recited Buddha every day, and ignored the worldly affairs , Although I did not go to a temple, it is no different from becoming a monk.
……
Empress Luo also knew that there were disadvantages in the audition, "Don't worry, your father will personally check the final test. His vision is accurate and there will be no mistakes."
He Lianjin couldn't explain clearly to Empress Luo what happened in his last life, so he left Weiyang Palace directly without saying a word, asked someone to fetch an extremely pungent aromatherapy, and took it to the Golden Palace.
Emperor Yonglong was evaluating the three candidates for his son-in-law, when he saw He Lianjin walk in without saying hello.
Emperor Yonglong's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
The eyes of the three candidate son-in-laws shifted to He Lianjin at the same time, but seeing that the devil king had not said a word since he entered the palace, he went directly to the censer, took out the agarwood incense burning inside, and put it away by himself. A kind of fragrance goes in.
Emperor Yonglong's eyes widened, did this Nizi want to poison him to death in public?
Eunuch Zhang's face was pale with fright, and he asked with a trembling voice, "Second...Second Highness, what did you put in it?"
He Lianjin took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his dust-free hands, then threw it into the stove, sat down with his legs crossed, and raised his eyebrows at Emperor Yonglong, "Father, you continue. "
Emperor Yonglong: "..."
Are you sure you didn't come here to mess things up?How can we continue after this?
The three candidate son-in-laws each coughed lightly.
Emperor Yonglong cleared his throat, intending to continue asking questions.
At this time, the aroma that He Lianjin put into the incense burner immediately smelled, and the irritating smell made everyone wrinkle their noses.
One of the candidate son-in-law coughed directly.
Emperor Yonglong couldn't take it anymore and was furious, "Second brother, what did you put in the incense burner?"
He Lianjin didn't speak, and stared at the person who was coughing badly with great interest.
His skin is very white, to be precise, it is pale, probably because he knew that he was going to have a face-to-face today, so he deliberately made some disguise. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to detect that this person is a tuberculosis.
Seeing this person, He Lianjin thought that Concubine Xiao Huang Guifei had been in the palace all these years for nothing. She dared to get such a rotten product among the three losers to pass the inspection of the Ministry of Etiquette without hindrance. Thinking about it, Concubine Xiao Huang Guifei has many relatives in the Ministry of Rites.
In other words, those people belonged to He Lianyu, but because Concubine Xiao Huanggui was He Lianyu's adoptive mother, so those people would not sit idly by when Concubine Xiao had something to do.
Emperor Yonglong was very angry that his son was so disrespectful, "Second boy, if you don't speak again, I will have someone kick you out!"
He Lianjin raised his chin and nodded at the son-in-law-to-be who was coughing badly, "This man seems a little uncomfortable."
When he reminded him like this, Emperor Yonglong immediately felt that this person coughed a bit too much. For ordinary people, even if they are not used to the stimulation of this kind of aromatherapy, at most they sneezed or coughed twice and passed.
This one is good, the more he coughs, the more vigorous he is, and he can't stop.
Frowning, Emperor Yonglong's gaze at that person has changed from displeasure to deep.
Nobody coughs like that unless they are sick.
Emperor Yonglong waved his hand, "Eunuch Zhang, go invite the imperial physician."
He Lianjin clearly saw that the man's eyes began to fluster.
"Caomin is just a little allergic to aromatherapy, it will be fine in a while, don't bother the emperor to ask the imperial physician." He tactfully knelt on the ground with a "plop", and suppressed his cough forcefully.
He Lianjin touched his chin, "Are you allergic to fragrance?"
"Yes."
"Coincidentally." He Lianjin said with a smile: "Shuang'er loves those flowers and pinks on weekdays. If you are allergic to fragrance, wouldn't you be able to match up with the princess?"
The one kneeling on the ground is the son of the ambassador of the Jiupin Charcoal Department, named Zhao Chengyun.
To put it bluntly, his father is the leader who is in charge of setting fire to the various palaces. He is just a small official, but he has been daydreaming about his success all his life. This time, the five princesses were selected for the son-in-law. In the audition, not only will their family get a generous bounty, but the other party can also guarantee that Zhao Seungyun will be selected.
Since ancient times, when princesses get married, even if they are married, the dowry is so rich that the common people are stunned. What's more, the fifth princess is still the most beloved daughter of Emperor Yonglong. Her dowry is even more exciting.
Zhao Chengyun was suffering from tuberculosis, and the doctor asserted that he would not survive this year. As soon as his father heard that his son could make a fortune for him before he died, he immediately regained his spirits, and casually ordered his son to follow those people.
Being disturbed by He Lianjin, Zhao Chengyun's forehead broke out in cold sweat. You must know that the rules of the audition are very strict. He was able to get all the way to the Golden Temple because of the backing and cheating.
As for who the opponent is, Zhao Chengyun still doesn't know.
He only knew that the other party's purpose was to make him selected as the son-in-law, otherwise the end would be death.
In fact, Zhao Chengyun didn't know that the two people next to him were ordered to die just like him, and those who couldn't be selected would end up dead.
These three people were all arranged by Concubine Xiao Huanggui, so only one of them can live, that is to say, the two who were not selected must be silenced.
He Lianjin's words just now undoubtedly kicked Zhao Chengyun out of the game.
When he thought that he would be silenced, he trembled all over.
Emperor Yonglong squinted his old eyes, and finally saw some clues, and once again told Eunuch Zhang, "Please physician!"
"Slow down!" He Lianjin stopped, "The old imperial doctor Fan is on leave today, and the other imperial doctors are not trusted by the ministers. It just so happens that Duke Xuan has not left the office yet, so why don't you ask someone to invite him directly? What does the emperor think?" ?”
Emperor Yonglong was taken aback for a moment, "Forget it, go invite Duke Xuan."
In the imperial hospital, Emperor Yonglong's most trusted doctor was old imperial doctor Fan, who was also Yun Chuwei's grandfather. Since that person was not there, it would be the same for Su Yan to come.
After all, the former is an imperial doctor, while the latter is a miracle doctor. Naturally, a miracle doctor is more reassuring.
Eunuch Zhang quickly went to the yamen where Su Yan worked to invite him.
When he entered the door and saw He Lianjin and the two candidate son-in-laws standing and kneeling, Su Yan thought deeply in his eyes, and stepped forward to salute the emperor.
Emperor Yonglong was in a hurry at this moment, and immediately said: "Su Yan, quickly show the one who is kneeling on the ground, is he suffering from any illness?"
When Zhao Chengyun heard this, he panicked and kowtowed, "Your Majesty..."
Before he started to defend himself, he was interrupted by He Lianjin in a cold voice, "Presumptuous! In front of the emperor, you are allowed to push back and forth? You keep saying that you don't need to see the imperial doctor, are you trying to hide something?"
Zhao Chengyun's face was even paler. If it was just an ordinary imperial doctor who came to see him, then he would have a chance to escape, because before he came to face the saint, the people behind him asked a doctor with good medical skills to give him an needle to suppress his pulse. It is very difficult for the imperial doctor to find out that he has tuberculosis, but if the person who checked his pulse was Xuan Guogong, it would be different.
Duke Xuan Guo studied with the most famous military doctor in the army since he was a child. Although the old military doctor is gone, all his medical skills have been passed on to this young apprentice.
When it comes to Su Yan's medical skills, even old doctor Fan, the oldest doctor in the Imperial Hospital, gives a thumbs up.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chengyun became more and more anxious. Once Xuan Guogong got his pulse, his little trick would definitely be exposed.
Before he finished worrying, the two eunuchs had already set up Zhao Chengyun and sat aside, Su Yan's fingertips quickly caught his pulse.
During the whole process, Zhao Chengyun was shaking.
"Relax."
In fact, when Su Yan approached Zhao Chengyun, he had already seen from his face that he had tuberculosis, but now he was under the eyes of Emperor Yonglong. In order to make his diagnosis more convincing, he had to put on a show, but his head It is slightly to one side.
Consumption was contagious, and he didn't want to catch it himself.
After watching for a moment, he withdrew his hand and stood up.
Emperor Yonglong asked: "What happened?"
Su Yan said: "This patient is in the advanced stage of tuberculosis, he is hopeless, and he is still contagious. I suggest that the emperor isolate him as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Otherwise, he didn't say everything, but the meaning is already self-evident.
What?Late stage of tuberculosis? !
Emperor Yonglong was furious.
It's unreasonable, the Ministry of Rites actually let tuberculosis pass the audition, which is not bad!
"Come here, drag this deceitful thief out and behead him for public display!"
Zhao Chengyun was not even given a chance to explain, which shows how angry Emperor Yonglong was.
After the servant dragged Zhao Chengyun out, his gaze immediately turned to the remaining two.
Having been immersed in imperial art for decades, the head on his neck is naturally not good-looking. Through Zhao Chengyun's tuberculosis, Emperor Yonglong immediately thought that someone had used his power to open up the relationship with the Ministry of Rites. The purpose was naturally to disturb his precious daughter's marriage. hands and feet.
In just a moment, he had vaguely guessed who was behind it.
Calmly withdrawing his gaze, Emperor Yonglong didn't ask any more questions about the remaining two people, nor did he name anyone who was selected. He just said lightly: "I'm tired, you all go back first."
He just backed down and didn't say that the matter will be discussed another day.
The two of them became apprehensive, but they didn't dare to show any flaws, and left the Golden Palace in desperation.
"When did the second child find out that there was a problem with the audition?"
Kneading his eyebrows for a moment, Emperor Yonglong asked.
Obviously, the rebellious son was not trying to make trouble just now, but wanted to use a pungent aroma to tell him that the three candidates for the prince's son-in-law in the Golden Palace all had problems.
"It's nothing." He Lianjin has always been used to pretending to be stupid, "It's just that those three people are simply not pleasing to the eye, and they don't think they are worthy of Fifth Sister."
"The Qin Tianjian has already set a wedding date, but the son-in-law has been elected and collapsed. What do you think should be done?"
He Lianjin asked instead, "Fifth sister must marry?"
"You have no jokes."
He Lianjin was also in trouble.
From the previous life to the time of his death, Fifth Sister was alone, and she still accompanied Qingdeng Ancient Buddha every day.
Of course, as an older brother and younger sister, He Lianjin somewhat understands the thoughts of his own sister, but Su Yan has already become a family, and has depended on Yun Chuwei for the rest of his life, so how could he turn his attention to his younger sister? ?
What's more, Su Yan is a powerful minister, so I don't need to think about it to know that my father will never agree.
"Go and discuss with my mother!" He Lianjin said in a rare kind tone.
For He Lianshuang, he felt guilty, because he didn't realize that he didn't know this sister well enough until a moment ago, and he didn't care about her enough.
"No!" Emperor Yonglong's attitude was tough, his face was cold and gloomy, which made Eunuch Zhang feel a chill down his spine.
Standing up, Emperor Yonglong said: "I will go directly to the Queen Mother."
He wanted to see how the Empress Dowager would protect Concubine Xiao Huanggui.
-
Cining Palace.
After hearing what Emperor Yonglong had said, the queen mother slapped the table angrily, "What are you talking about, someone tampered with the audition?"
Emperor Yonglong said: "Actually, it is not difficult to find out who is behind the scenes. My son just wants to ask, if it is found out, what does the empress think should be done with that person?"
"Concealing the top and the bottom, playing with the imperial power and Tianwei at will, how do you deal with it?" What happened every day was nothing but bad.
First, Feng Zongtian's shamelessness brought down the reputation of the royal family, and now there are some people who dare to tamper with the audition. Is it true that the imperial power is just a display?
The previous wave of anger has not dissipated, but this time there is another wave, the queen mother is so angry that she wants to flip the table.
Emperor Yonglong got up to leave.
The Empress Dowager suddenly called him, "It's a bad reputation if this kind of thing gets out. You should be quiet and check inside and outside the Ministry of Rites. Those who deserve to be demoted should be punished. As for the reasons, just choose one at will. The failure of the audition made a lot of noise."
These words sounded fair and correct, but Emperor Yonglong knew that the Empress Dowager suddenly realized that the person behind the scenes was her precious niece Xiao Huangguifei.
Otherwise, she wouldn't let him only deal with the people in the Ministry of Rites without mentioning Xiao Shi.
With the empress dowager intervening, what can he say as a son, he can't tear himself apart with his own mother, right?
He had experienced the tough temper of the Queen Mother in the early years.
It seems that this Xiao Mingxi cannot move for the time being.
Fortunately, there was a reminder from the second child, so that Shuang'er would not be allowed to get into the fire pit, otherwise, if something happened to Shuang'er because of the son-in-law, he was not sure whether he would rush directly to Changxin Palace to cut off Xiao Mingxi. Throat.
-
After Emperor Yonglong left, the Empress Dowager summoned Concubine Xiao Huanggui.
"Aunt." Concubine Xiao Huang Guifei's natural voice was soft, and when she said a word, she seemed to be acting like a spoiled child when she got angry.
After serving tea, she sat down beside her with an indescribably calm expression.
"I heard that you are very busy these days?" There are many things that the queen mother can't point out directly, so she said in a roundabout way.
"Auntie was joking." Concubine Xiao Huanggui whispered softly, "The Ministry of Rites is currently selecting a consort for the fifth princess. Even if it is busy, it should be the empress's busyness as the biological mother. The fourth princess has been married a long time ago. Can I help you?" What's so busy?"
"Then you are so idle in Changxin Palace, you don't even have to ask for peace from Guo Ai's house, and you are not afraid of something wrong with your idleness?" After all, she has been in the harem for decades, and the Queen Mother's bearing is comparable to Xiao Xiao's. The imperial concubine is much calmer.
"It's indeed my niece's fault that I didn't come to pay my respects." Concubine Xiao admitted her mistake with sincerity, "It's really that I feel a little unwell, and I asked the maid to pass the message from the beginning."
The queen mother snorted softly, "Don't expect to dare to do whatever you want in the harem with the support of Aijia. As a harem woman, sharp claws are a weapon for survival, but if they are too sharp, they will easily cause serious injuries and cause trouble.
You are a smart person, you should know what the Ai family is referring to, if you want to capture the emperor's heart, what's the use of harming people just by playing tricks?You should learn from the one in Weiyang Palace, who seems innocent and harmless, but actually has a lot of tricks inside.
Do you know the difference between you and her?In order to get the emperor's attention, you put all your heart and soul into doing your best, but in fact, you might as well just smile lightly. "
As a woman, who doesn't hate being compared with other women?
What's more, the person in Weiyang Palace is still her mortal enemy that she has hated for many years.
"Aunt." Even though she was full of displeasure and resentment, Royal Concubine Xiao's voice sounded soft, "My niece suddenly felt a headache, so I left first."
The plot to punish He Lianshuang was exposed, and she was compared with Queen Luo by the Empress Dowager. She really had a headache and was full of anger and didn't know how to vent it.
If she dared to interrupt the Queen Mother like this, there would only be Xiao Shi in the entire harem.
The Empress Dowager looked down with clear eyes, feeling disappointed in her heart.
In the early years, she still had the energy to defend this niece against Empress Luo, but the older she got, the more transparent she looked at things. Even if she was unwilling to face it, she still had to admit that Concubine Xiao Huanggui was indeed inferior to Empress Luo. Empress, whether it's temperament or other aspects.
In this regard, she can say that her son has a good vision, but she will never admit and accept Queen Luo.
On the outside, no matter how close you are, you can't kiss your own flesh and blood. Xiao Mingxi is her cousin's daughter. Before his death, his cousin entrusted her daughter to her, so he grew up under her care all these years.
Therefore, even if Xiao Mingxi made a big mistake, the Queen Mother would find a way to bear it for her.
-
"What? Someone is making trouble?"
Weiyang Palace.
After hearing what Emperor Yonglong had said, Empress Luo immediately turned pale, "How could this be?"
Emperor Yonglong put his arms around her lightly, and comforted her, "Fortunately, the second child found out in time, and there was no major mistake."
Empress Luo was stuck in Emperor Yonglong's arms, anxious, "Shuang'er's wedding date has been set, but something happened to the son-in-law, what should we do now?"
Emperor Yonglong was also worried, "It's too late to let the Ministry of Rites audition now, not to mention the people inside the Ministry of Rites, I haven't started cleaning up yet, so I don't feel relieved to hand this matter over to them."
Empress Luo quickly flashed a few figures in her mind, but after much deliberation, she still felt that it was inappropriate.
Although the Luo family only lives as an earl, but because of her as a queen, it is now the head of the state, even more noble than the Duke's mansion. The descendants of the Luo family are all rich and noble sons, and the same goes for Shuang'er. Can't marry.
-
Empress Luo and Emperor Yonglong were at a loss for Helian's choice of son-in-law.
On the other end, He Lianjin went to see He Lian Shuang.
"Why is Second Brother here?" He Lian Shuang was extremely surprised by He Lianjin's sudden entry into the palace.
"Shuang'er, I heard that you are going to choose a son-in-law?" He Lianjin didn't say directly, but just asked tentatively, wanting to see what attitude He Lian Shuang had on this matter.
He Lian Shuang looked indifferent, "Isn't it a matter of time? In the morning, I heard from my mother that my father would summon three candidate son-in-laws in the Golden Palace today to determine the final candidate. Since the second brother came from Yugan Palace, Then you must have seen it, right?"
"Those people have a beastly heart, which is not suitable for you, Shuang'er."
"I'm not married yet, how does Second Brother know it's not suitable?"
"Shuang'er, do you believe in the second brother?" He Lianjin suddenly looked at her with an indescribably serious expression.
"Believe me." He Lian Shuang nodded in a strange manner. Since she was a child, she has never doubted what the second brother said.
"If you believe in me, then I will recommend you the son-in-law."
"But..." Helian frowned, "Can Father agree?"
"This is your lifelong event, as long as you nod."
Originally, He Lianjin had no idea about the choice of son-in-law, but just now he thought about it on the way from Yugan Palace to He Lianshuang's bedroom, and finally thought of one person.
Shuang'er is doomed not to marry a powerful official, so she can only choose among ordinary people. That person is honest and honest, and treats others with sincerity. Lamp ancient Buddha.
He Lian pouted, "Anyway, I don't have freedom in marriage, everything depends on my second brother."
He Lianjin said: "Then get ready and follow me out of the palace in a while."
"Leaving the palace?" He Lian was puzzled.
"Take you to see him, whether you are satisfied or not, in the end you have the final say."
-
Qingxin Zhai on Tongji Street is Yun Chuwei's territory, and there is a private room on the second floor for VIPs to relax.
At this time, a man and a woman were sitting by the window. The man had sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes, with the tails of his eyes slightly upwards, making him flamboyant and charming.
The woman's face was exquisite and lovely, and she was wearing a red dress, as bright as a ball of fire.
It was He Lianjin and He Lianshuang, two brothers and sisters.
He Lian Shuang stared at the snowy scenery outside for a while, a little bored, "Didn't my brother promise to bring me to see my prospective son-in-law? Why haven't I seen anyone since I've been here for a long time?"
He Lianjin gently stroked the warm teacup in his hand, but did not speak.
After a while, a voice came from downstairs.
"Er Yong, Mrs. Zhang in Chengxi wants three boxes of hair oil and two boxes of aloe vera gel. Have you got them ready?"
"Er Yong, this is what Ms. Li wants from the south of the city. It's tied up. Don't miss it in the snow."
"Er Kor Angkor, hurry up and have dinner when you come back. I asked my aunt to bake pancakes today. They are delicious."
Wu Er originally helped move goods and count in the underground warehouse, but the little work in the warehouse was not enough for him to fill his teeth, so he came out to help in his spare time.
Because it was a snowy day, those ladies and wives from rich and noble families were too lazy to go out, so they simply sent someone to the shop to order goods. If they wanted something, they began to prepare goods here, and they would send them over immediately. Wu Er came out of the warehouse and followed Boys do this.
The reputation of Qingxin Zhai is gradually rising, and the business is getting better and better, and everyone is busy.
He Lian Shuang heard the voice, poked his head out and looked down, and saw an honest-looking boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, in winter, wearing only a navy blue singlet and a dust jacket over it. The fluttering gown, probably because he was very busy, with hot sweat on his forehead, after preparing the goods requested by the guests, he rubbed his hands and took a breath of hot air around his mouth, got on the donkey cart in the open air, waved With a whip, he quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
He Lian Shuang retracted his gaze and looked at He Lianjin, "The person the second brother said, but him?"
He Lianjin asked: "What do you think about Shuang'er?"
He Lianshuang didn't speak. In her opinion, there are a lot of people like this in the whole capital, nothing special.
He Lianjin easily saw through his sister's mind.
He just smiled and said nothing, the current Wu Yong really can't see anything, but in the last life, he was the future martial artist, but his marriage was not smooth.
To live a new life, He Lianjin's goal is not only to be a beautiful woman in the country, but also to change the fate of those close to him.
He didn't want Shuang'er to follow the old path of his previous life, so he planned to become Yuelao and lead a red rope between her and Wu Yong.
Wu Yong was much more down-to-earth than the three dignified people who stood in the Golden Palace in the morning.
He Lianjin was relieved to entrust his sister to such a person.
"Whatever!" He Lianshuang said indifferently.
Anyway, it is never possible to marry the person you like, so it is the same to marry anyone.
"Then it's settled. The wedding is approaching, and there's not much time for you to get to know him. I'll go back to Emperor Bingming later, and let him enter the palace to face the saint tomorrow morning."
Helian nodded, expressing no objection.
He Lianjin curled up his lips, as long as the two children are healthy, he will take care of Concubine Xiao's side slowly.
-
Yun Chuwei only got the news about Wu Yong's entrance to the palace at noon the next day, and was startled at that time, "Did Brother Angkor commit a crime?"
Meizi covered her lips and smiled, "Look at the nervousness of the girl, it's not a crime, it's a good thing."
"How to say?"
"Second Brother Angkor has been selected by the Holy Majesty to become the consort of the Fifth Princess." Meizi said with joy all over her face, "Aunt Wu and her family have finally made it through."
"Ah?!" Yun Chu felt as if struck by lightning.
This sudden news was so bombastic that it was impossible for people to react for a while.
"Isn't the son-in-law being selected by the Ministry of Rites?" Yun Chuwei still couldn't figure it out, Wu Er was just a waiter, how could Emperor Yonglong notice him?
"The servants are not very clear about the details. My uncle should know. When my uncle comes down to the Yamen, the girl can ask him."
-
When Su Yan came back from the Yamen, Yun Chuwei really couldn't wait to run to the study to ask.
"Master Jiu, I heard that Angkor Angkor has had great luck, is there such a thing?"
Su Yan nodded, "I entered the palace early this morning to face the saint."
Yun Chu became slightly nervous, "What did you ask him today?"
"A lot of questions." Su Yan said, "It's just that he basically can't answer them."
Wu Er was originally a countryman, and he couldn't read a few big characters. Coupled with the pressure of facing the emperor, it's strange that he could answer.
Yun Chu curled his lips slightly, "Looking at a farmer with the eyes of a literati, isn't this nitpicking?"
Su Yan smiled, "You must have never imagined that today, he just took a fancy to his honesty, so without further ado, he made a decision and passed."
Yun Chuwei was surprised again.
"Where are the three selected by the Ministry of Rites?"
"Being tampered with, that's why I temporarily changed my mind today."
Yun Chuwei suddenly realized, "So that's how it is." Then he sighed, "It's really unexpected, I asked him to come to the capital, and he came right, but he was hit by a gold brick falling from the sky for no reason."
Su Yan hugged her and sat on his lap, and kissed her forehead lightly, "That's good, there will be one less rotten peach blossom around you from now on."
Yun Chu snorted slightly, expressing his dissatisfaction, "When you go to the yamen every day, don't you see those big girls and little daughter-in-laws on the road coveting you? That's called rotten peach blossom! Also, don't think I don't I know, my mother has received many posts a few days ago. At the banquet, the wives of the aristocratic family always mentioned your concubine intentionally or unintentionally. ? How many concubines are you going to take, and where are you going to drive me so that I won't be in your eyes?"
She looked jealous, her cheeks bulged, and her little face was still glowing with a lovely crimson color, which made his heart soften, "I'll tell you later."
Yun Chu hummed softly, "I don't understand, you'll sleep in the study tonight!"
Su Yan smiled lowly: "Are you sure?"
Yun Chuwei avoided his gaze, and before he could react, he gagged his mouth.
-
Wu Er was chosen to be the consort of the Fifth Princess, and within a day the news spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The entire capital that was submerged in heavy snow boiled.
Many people went to Qingxin Zhai admiringly, which brought a lot of business to Qingxin Zhai.
As for Wu Yong himself, he is still in a daze until now.
"Er Kor, congratulations." In the backyard of Qingxinzhai, Wu Yong was fetching water from the well when Jiao Yan walked in with a forced smile on her face.
Wu Yong never knew her intentions, he just scratched the back of his head and said stupidly: "Actually, even I don't know what's going on."
The fifth princess, that is the daughter of Empress Luo, the most beloved jewel in the palm of the world, what a noble status, she is willing to condescend to marry into the Wu family?
Wu Yong felt a little ashamed when he thought that his three mothers had just arrived in the capital and didn't even have a decent house, so they might neglect the princess in the future.
"It is Angkor's blessing to be favored by the princess."
Jiao Yan took the bucket from his hand with a smile, "You, now that you are a prospective son-in-law, how can you do these rough jobs, just let it go, and I will do it."
"I can do it." Wu Yong snatched the bucket from Jiao Yan's hand and carried it by himself, "But sister Yan, you are wearing thin clothes in such a cold day, and it's hard to recover if you catch a cold carefully."
Jiao Yan turned her back to him, her eyes were red after hearing these words.
After that, no matter how Wu Er called her from behind, he ran out.
1. Here is an explanation of a small bug that appeared earlier. Princess Yiqing should be the elder sister of Emperor Yonglong, not the younger sister, and she is a much older elder sister than Emperor Yonglong. Otherwise, the explanation of the age of the younger generation will not make sense, and I will mention it later. Yiyi will be directly written as a sister-brother relationship, dear friends, don't question it.
2. Regarding the direction of the plot.
The chapter came out yesterday, and I lost a few favorites. I guess, some relatives must have felt abused. In fact, they didn’t. Those are just the memories of He Lianjin’s last life. In this life, everyone’s fate has changed a lot. Big changes, especially the hero and heroine, the bloody abuse in the previous life will not happen in this life. We said warm favors, so we must fulfill them!
Finally, I hope that you can come to the comment area to interact with Yiyi more, so that I will have the motivation to write articles! (* ̄3) (ε ̄*)
(End of this chapter)
When Eunuch Zhang, the head of the imperial court, saw He Lianjin approaching aggressively, his face turned pale with fright, and he even crawled into Yugan Palace to report, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's not good, the Second Highness has come down."
Emperor Yonglong, who was changing clothes to meet the three candidate consorts, was taken aback, then frowned, "I didn't summon him, what did he come for?"
"My son has come to Yugan Palace to be scolded many times since I was young, and I haven't seen how many times my father really summoned me."
He Lianjin's voice had already reached outside the main hall, cynical as always.
Emperor Yonglong dressed and walked out slowly, feeling a little headache.
I haven't seen him for two and a half years, and this bastard son hasn't improved at all.
Sitting on the golden chair, Emperor Yonglong looked down at him condescendingly, "You came into the palace with such vigor, what's the matter?"
I have long been used to this son's dandyism and willfulness, so I don't bother to care about his impolite behavior when he sees the emperor being rude.
If He Lianjin was willing to kneel down obediently to pay his respects to him like before he was ten years old, then he would really be called a ghost.
"Father, are you going to meet the three candidate consorts today?" He Lianjin asked.
"Why, you also want to intervene in this matter?" Emperor Yonglong frowned displeased.
"Shuang'er is my younger sister, why can't I interfere in her marriage?" He Lianjin took it for granted.
"Then what did you do earlier?"
A few days ago, He Lianjin was busy cutting the rotten peach blossoms around his family's Han'er, but he didn't think about it. When he remembered, the choice of son-in-law was almost determined, so he couldn't wait to enter the palace to stop it.
He didn't bother to explain these, and believed that his father didn't care about his explanation, "Shuang'er can't marry."
Emperor Yonglong raised his eyebrows, "You can't marry if you say you can't marry? How about I give you this dragon chair?"
He Lianjin secretly rolled his eyes, the whole of Nanliang will be his in the future, what's the point of his father just saying that he won't let it go?
Emperor Yonglong became angry when he saw his nonchalant look, "If there is nothing wrong, get out, I'm going to the Golden Palace."
He Lianjin thought about it, go, anyway, no matter who you always choose, I have plenty of ways to make him not live long.
Without further words, he turned around and headed towards Weiyang Palace.
Seeing Empress Luo, He Lianjin behaved better than he was in front of Emperor Yonglong, and he did not hesitate to salute and greet him.
Empress Luo came down and carefully measured He Lianjin.
Not seeing each other for two and a half years, this son's appearance is getting better and better, and his facial features are becoming more mature.
"Jin'er, where have you been for the past two years?"
He Lianjin answered some vaguely, but did not tell the whole truth. Of course, he would not tell Queen Luo that he not only cultivated his own influence, but also cultivated her future daughter-in-law along the way.
In the eyes of everyone in the entire palace, he is just an ignorant dude, a moody devil king.
There is no need to change this impression, he thinks it is very good.
"Queen, is Shuang'er going to choose a son-in-law?" He Lianjin asked.
"When you reach the age, if you don't marry again, you should make people laugh."
"Does it have to be through audition to choose a son-in-law?" He Lianjin asked again.
Empress Luo explained, "The audition for the son-in-law is a rule that has existed since your father's ascension to the throne. You should understand that it is to prevent your relatives from being raised, so princesses cannot marry powerful ministers. Even the fourth princess on Shuang'er's head, that is the same. Married through the audition, Jin'er, this matter is about to be finalized, so please stop messing it up, lest something will happen and embarrass your father."
"There are many disadvantages in the audition for a son-in-law. Hasn't the queen mother considered it?"
On Helian's double head, there is only one princess, the fourth princess, He Lianzhu.
Who is He Lianzhu?Concubine Xiao Huanggui's only daughter in her life.
She was the first princess in Nanliang to be married by a consort who was selected by audition. Her consort was pretty handsome, but he was actually incompetent.Probably because it was the first audition when He Lianzhu got married, and the Ministry of Rituals forgot about it, and didn't check the body of the son-in-law carefully, so after He Lianzhu married, she really lived a life of being dumb and eating coptis. .
In front of outsiders, their husband and wife were loving and harmonious, but behind their backs, He Lianzhu was full of resentment, and would often come into the palace to complain to Concubine Xiao Huanggui.
Concubine Xiao Huanggui had to be used to being strong all her life, she never saw her daughter live like this, so she bought a house outside, and raised a few strong and good-looking faces in it.
He Lianzhu would find excuses to leave the mansion every now and then, but in fact, he just went to the mansion to have sex with his friends.
Now it's Helian's turn to come up, how can Helianzhu and Concubine Xiao be reconciled?
So their mother and daughter played tricks in this audition, and the three remaining candidates were all arranged by Concubine Xiao. No matter who Emperor Yonglong finally chose, once Helian Shuang married, the future Life is bound to be miserable.
He Lianjin didn't know about these things until late in the previous life. When he was selecting a consort for Helian Shuanghai in the early stage, no one expected that Concubine Xiao Huanggui would be so vicious and wanted to take the opportunity to murder Helian Shuang, so he didn't realize it in advance. , not to mention failing to prevent it in advance, seeing with his own eyes that Helian Shuang married a son-in-law whom everyone thought was a good one.
Unexpectedly, that son-in-law was a tuberculosis, and died on the night of the wedding before consummating the consummation, and He Lian Shuang has been a widow ever since.
Emperor Yonglong felt very sorry for her, and wanted to choose another son-in-law for her, but He Lianshuang had completely lost his mind on this aspect. She set up a small Buddhist hall in her mansion, ate fast and recited Buddha every day, and ignored the worldly affairs , Although I did not go to a temple, it is no different from becoming a monk.
……
Empress Luo also knew that there were disadvantages in the audition, "Don't worry, your father will personally check the final test. His vision is accurate and there will be no mistakes."
He Lianjin couldn't explain clearly to Empress Luo what happened in his last life, so he left Weiyang Palace directly without saying a word, asked someone to fetch an extremely pungent aromatherapy, and took it to the Golden Palace.
Emperor Yonglong was evaluating the three candidates for his son-in-law, when he saw He Lianjin walk in without saying hello.
Emperor Yonglong's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
The eyes of the three candidate son-in-laws shifted to He Lianjin at the same time, but seeing that the devil king had not said a word since he entered the palace, he went directly to the censer, took out the agarwood incense burning inside, and put it away by himself. A kind of fragrance goes in.
Emperor Yonglong's eyes widened, did this Nizi want to poison him to death in public?
Eunuch Zhang's face was pale with fright, and he asked with a trembling voice, "Second...Second Highness, what did you put in it?"
He Lianjin took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped his dust-free hands, then threw it into the stove, sat down with his legs crossed, and raised his eyebrows at Emperor Yonglong, "Father, you continue. "
Emperor Yonglong: "..."
Are you sure you didn't come here to mess things up?How can we continue after this?
The three candidate son-in-laws each coughed lightly.
Emperor Yonglong cleared his throat, intending to continue asking questions.
At this time, the aroma that He Lianjin put into the incense burner immediately smelled, and the irritating smell made everyone wrinkle their noses.
One of the candidate son-in-law coughed directly.
Emperor Yonglong couldn't take it anymore and was furious, "Second brother, what did you put in the incense burner?"
He Lianjin didn't speak, and stared at the person who was coughing badly with great interest.
His skin is very white, to be precise, it is pale, probably because he knew that he was going to have a face-to-face today, so he deliberately made some disguise. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to detect that this person is a tuberculosis.
Seeing this person, He Lianjin thought that Concubine Xiao Huang Guifei had been in the palace all these years for nothing. She dared to get such a rotten product among the three losers to pass the inspection of the Ministry of Etiquette without hindrance. Thinking about it, Concubine Xiao Huang Guifei has many relatives in the Ministry of Rites.
In other words, those people belonged to He Lianyu, but because Concubine Xiao Huanggui was He Lianyu's adoptive mother, so those people would not sit idly by when Concubine Xiao had something to do.
Emperor Yonglong was very angry that his son was so disrespectful, "Second boy, if you don't speak again, I will have someone kick you out!"
He Lianjin raised his chin and nodded at the son-in-law-to-be who was coughing badly, "This man seems a little uncomfortable."
When he reminded him like this, Emperor Yonglong immediately felt that this person coughed a bit too much. For ordinary people, even if they are not used to the stimulation of this kind of aromatherapy, at most they sneezed or coughed twice and passed.
This one is good, the more he coughs, the more vigorous he is, and he can't stop.
Frowning, Emperor Yonglong's gaze at that person has changed from displeasure to deep.
Nobody coughs like that unless they are sick.
Emperor Yonglong waved his hand, "Eunuch Zhang, go invite the imperial physician."
He Lianjin clearly saw that the man's eyes began to fluster.
"Caomin is just a little allergic to aromatherapy, it will be fine in a while, don't bother the emperor to ask the imperial physician." He tactfully knelt on the ground with a "plop", and suppressed his cough forcefully.
He Lianjin touched his chin, "Are you allergic to fragrance?"
"Yes."
"Coincidentally." He Lianjin said with a smile: "Shuang'er loves those flowers and pinks on weekdays. If you are allergic to fragrance, wouldn't you be able to match up with the princess?"
The one kneeling on the ground is the son of the ambassador of the Jiupin Charcoal Department, named Zhao Chengyun.
To put it bluntly, his father is the leader who is in charge of setting fire to the various palaces. He is just a small official, but he has been daydreaming about his success all his life. This time, the five princesses were selected for the son-in-law. In the audition, not only will their family get a generous bounty, but the other party can also guarantee that Zhao Seungyun will be selected.
Since ancient times, when princesses get married, even if they are married, the dowry is so rich that the common people are stunned. What's more, the fifth princess is still the most beloved daughter of Emperor Yonglong. Her dowry is even more exciting.
Zhao Chengyun was suffering from tuberculosis, and the doctor asserted that he would not survive this year. As soon as his father heard that his son could make a fortune for him before he died, he immediately regained his spirits, and casually ordered his son to follow those people.
Being disturbed by He Lianjin, Zhao Chengyun's forehead broke out in cold sweat. You must know that the rules of the audition are very strict. He was able to get all the way to the Golden Temple because of the backing and cheating.
As for who the opponent is, Zhao Chengyun still doesn't know.
He only knew that the other party's purpose was to make him selected as the son-in-law, otherwise the end would be death.
In fact, Zhao Chengyun didn't know that the two people next to him were ordered to die just like him, and those who couldn't be selected would end up dead.
These three people were all arranged by Concubine Xiao Huanggui, so only one of them can live, that is to say, the two who were not selected must be silenced.
He Lianjin's words just now undoubtedly kicked Zhao Chengyun out of the game.
When he thought that he would be silenced, he trembled all over.
Emperor Yonglong squinted his old eyes, and finally saw some clues, and once again told Eunuch Zhang, "Please physician!"
"Slow down!" He Lianjin stopped, "The old imperial doctor Fan is on leave today, and the other imperial doctors are not trusted by the ministers. It just so happens that Duke Xuan has not left the office yet, so why don't you ask someone to invite him directly? What does the emperor think?" ?”
Emperor Yonglong was taken aback for a moment, "Forget it, go invite Duke Xuan."
In the imperial hospital, Emperor Yonglong's most trusted doctor was old imperial doctor Fan, who was also Yun Chuwei's grandfather. Since that person was not there, it would be the same for Su Yan to come.
After all, the former is an imperial doctor, while the latter is a miracle doctor. Naturally, a miracle doctor is more reassuring.
Eunuch Zhang quickly went to the yamen where Su Yan worked to invite him.
When he entered the door and saw He Lianjin and the two candidate son-in-laws standing and kneeling, Su Yan thought deeply in his eyes, and stepped forward to salute the emperor.
Emperor Yonglong was in a hurry at this moment, and immediately said: "Su Yan, quickly show the one who is kneeling on the ground, is he suffering from any illness?"
When Zhao Chengyun heard this, he panicked and kowtowed, "Your Majesty..."
Before he started to defend himself, he was interrupted by He Lianjin in a cold voice, "Presumptuous! In front of the emperor, you are allowed to push back and forth? You keep saying that you don't need to see the imperial doctor, are you trying to hide something?"
Zhao Chengyun's face was even paler. If it was just an ordinary imperial doctor who came to see him, then he would have a chance to escape, because before he came to face the saint, the people behind him asked a doctor with good medical skills to give him an needle to suppress his pulse. It is very difficult for the imperial doctor to find out that he has tuberculosis, but if the person who checked his pulse was Xuan Guogong, it would be different.
Duke Xuan Guo studied with the most famous military doctor in the army since he was a child. Although the old military doctor is gone, all his medical skills have been passed on to this young apprentice.
When it comes to Su Yan's medical skills, even old doctor Fan, the oldest doctor in the Imperial Hospital, gives a thumbs up.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chengyun became more and more anxious. Once Xuan Guogong got his pulse, his little trick would definitely be exposed.
Before he finished worrying, the two eunuchs had already set up Zhao Chengyun and sat aside, Su Yan's fingertips quickly caught his pulse.
During the whole process, Zhao Chengyun was shaking.
"Relax."
In fact, when Su Yan approached Zhao Chengyun, he had already seen from his face that he had tuberculosis, but now he was under the eyes of Emperor Yonglong. In order to make his diagnosis more convincing, he had to put on a show, but his head It is slightly to one side.
Consumption was contagious, and he didn't want to catch it himself.
After watching for a moment, he withdrew his hand and stood up.
Emperor Yonglong asked: "What happened?"
Su Yan said: "This patient is in the advanced stage of tuberculosis, he is hopeless, and he is still contagious. I suggest that the emperor isolate him as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Otherwise, he didn't say everything, but the meaning is already self-evident.
What?Late stage of tuberculosis? !
Emperor Yonglong was furious.
It's unreasonable, the Ministry of Rites actually let tuberculosis pass the audition, which is not bad!
"Come here, drag this deceitful thief out and behead him for public display!"
Zhao Chengyun was not even given a chance to explain, which shows how angry Emperor Yonglong was.
After the servant dragged Zhao Chengyun out, his gaze immediately turned to the remaining two.
Having been immersed in imperial art for decades, the head on his neck is naturally not good-looking. Through Zhao Chengyun's tuberculosis, Emperor Yonglong immediately thought that someone had used his power to open up the relationship with the Ministry of Rites. The purpose was naturally to disturb his precious daughter's marriage. hands and feet.
In just a moment, he had vaguely guessed who was behind it.
Calmly withdrawing his gaze, Emperor Yonglong didn't ask any more questions about the remaining two people, nor did he name anyone who was selected. He just said lightly: "I'm tired, you all go back first."
He just backed down and didn't say that the matter will be discussed another day.
The two of them became apprehensive, but they didn't dare to show any flaws, and left the Golden Palace in desperation.
"When did the second child find out that there was a problem with the audition?"
Kneading his eyebrows for a moment, Emperor Yonglong asked.
Obviously, the rebellious son was not trying to make trouble just now, but wanted to use a pungent aroma to tell him that the three candidates for the prince's son-in-law in the Golden Palace all had problems.
"It's nothing." He Lianjin has always been used to pretending to be stupid, "It's just that those three people are simply not pleasing to the eye, and they don't think they are worthy of Fifth Sister."
"The Qin Tianjian has already set a wedding date, but the son-in-law has been elected and collapsed. What do you think should be done?"
He Lianjin asked instead, "Fifth sister must marry?"
"You have no jokes."
He Lianjin was also in trouble.
From the previous life to the time of his death, Fifth Sister was alone, and she still accompanied Qingdeng Ancient Buddha every day.
Of course, as an older brother and younger sister, He Lianjin somewhat understands the thoughts of his own sister, but Su Yan has already become a family, and has depended on Yun Chuwei for the rest of his life, so how could he turn his attention to his younger sister? ?
What's more, Su Yan is a powerful minister, so I don't need to think about it to know that my father will never agree.
"Go and discuss with my mother!" He Lianjin said in a rare kind tone.
For He Lianshuang, he felt guilty, because he didn't realize that he didn't know this sister well enough until a moment ago, and he didn't care about her enough.
"No!" Emperor Yonglong's attitude was tough, his face was cold and gloomy, which made Eunuch Zhang feel a chill down his spine.
Standing up, Emperor Yonglong said: "I will go directly to the Queen Mother."
He wanted to see how the Empress Dowager would protect Concubine Xiao Huanggui.
-
Cining Palace.
After hearing what Emperor Yonglong had said, the queen mother slapped the table angrily, "What are you talking about, someone tampered with the audition?"
Emperor Yonglong said: "Actually, it is not difficult to find out who is behind the scenes. My son just wants to ask, if it is found out, what does the empress think should be done with that person?"
"Concealing the top and the bottom, playing with the imperial power and Tianwei at will, how do you deal with it?" What happened every day was nothing but bad.
First, Feng Zongtian's shamelessness brought down the reputation of the royal family, and now there are some people who dare to tamper with the audition. Is it true that the imperial power is just a display?
The previous wave of anger has not dissipated, but this time there is another wave, the queen mother is so angry that she wants to flip the table.
Emperor Yonglong got up to leave.
The Empress Dowager suddenly called him, "It's a bad reputation if this kind of thing gets out. You should be quiet and check inside and outside the Ministry of Rites. Those who deserve to be demoted should be punished. As for the reasons, just choose one at will. The failure of the audition made a lot of noise."
These words sounded fair and correct, but Emperor Yonglong knew that the Empress Dowager suddenly realized that the person behind the scenes was her precious niece Xiao Huangguifei.
Otherwise, she wouldn't let him only deal with the people in the Ministry of Rites without mentioning Xiao Shi.
With the empress dowager intervening, what can he say as a son, he can't tear himself apart with his own mother, right?
He had experienced the tough temper of the Queen Mother in the early years.
It seems that this Xiao Mingxi cannot move for the time being.
Fortunately, there was a reminder from the second child, so that Shuang'er would not be allowed to get into the fire pit, otherwise, if something happened to Shuang'er because of the son-in-law, he was not sure whether he would rush directly to Changxin Palace to cut off Xiao Mingxi. Throat.
-
After Emperor Yonglong left, the Empress Dowager summoned Concubine Xiao Huanggui.
"Aunt." Concubine Xiao Huang Guifei's natural voice was soft, and when she said a word, she seemed to be acting like a spoiled child when she got angry.
After serving tea, she sat down beside her with an indescribably calm expression.
"I heard that you are very busy these days?" There are many things that the queen mother can't point out directly, so she said in a roundabout way.
"Auntie was joking." Concubine Xiao Huanggui whispered softly, "The Ministry of Rites is currently selecting a consort for the fifth princess. Even if it is busy, it should be the empress's busyness as the biological mother. The fourth princess has been married a long time ago. Can I help you?" What's so busy?"
"Then you are so idle in Changxin Palace, you don't even have to ask for peace from Guo Ai's house, and you are not afraid of something wrong with your idleness?" After all, she has been in the harem for decades, and the Queen Mother's bearing is comparable to Xiao Xiao's. The imperial concubine is much calmer.
"It's indeed my niece's fault that I didn't come to pay my respects." Concubine Xiao admitted her mistake with sincerity, "It's really that I feel a little unwell, and I asked the maid to pass the message from the beginning."
The queen mother snorted softly, "Don't expect to dare to do whatever you want in the harem with the support of Aijia. As a harem woman, sharp claws are a weapon for survival, but if they are too sharp, they will easily cause serious injuries and cause trouble.
You are a smart person, you should know what the Ai family is referring to, if you want to capture the emperor's heart, what's the use of harming people just by playing tricks?You should learn from the one in Weiyang Palace, who seems innocent and harmless, but actually has a lot of tricks inside.
Do you know the difference between you and her?In order to get the emperor's attention, you put all your heart and soul into doing your best, but in fact, you might as well just smile lightly. "
As a woman, who doesn't hate being compared with other women?
What's more, the person in Weiyang Palace is still her mortal enemy that she has hated for many years.
"Aunt." Even though she was full of displeasure and resentment, Royal Concubine Xiao's voice sounded soft, "My niece suddenly felt a headache, so I left first."
The plot to punish He Lianshuang was exposed, and she was compared with Queen Luo by the Empress Dowager. She really had a headache and was full of anger and didn't know how to vent it.
If she dared to interrupt the Queen Mother like this, there would only be Xiao Shi in the entire harem.
The Empress Dowager looked down with clear eyes, feeling disappointed in her heart.
In the early years, she still had the energy to defend this niece against Empress Luo, but the older she got, the more transparent she looked at things. Even if she was unwilling to face it, she still had to admit that Concubine Xiao Huanggui was indeed inferior to Empress Luo. Empress, whether it's temperament or other aspects.
In this regard, she can say that her son has a good vision, but she will never admit and accept Queen Luo.
On the outside, no matter how close you are, you can't kiss your own flesh and blood. Xiao Mingxi is her cousin's daughter. Before his death, his cousin entrusted her daughter to her, so he grew up under her care all these years.
Therefore, even if Xiao Mingxi made a big mistake, the Queen Mother would find a way to bear it for her.
-
"What? Someone is making trouble?"
Weiyang Palace.
After hearing what Emperor Yonglong had said, Empress Luo immediately turned pale, "How could this be?"
Emperor Yonglong put his arms around her lightly, and comforted her, "Fortunately, the second child found out in time, and there was no major mistake."
Empress Luo was stuck in Emperor Yonglong's arms, anxious, "Shuang'er's wedding date has been set, but something happened to the son-in-law, what should we do now?"
Emperor Yonglong was also worried, "It's too late to let the Ministry of Rites audition now, not to mention the people inside the Ministry of Rites, I haven't started cleaning up yet, so I don't feel relieved to hand this matter over to them."
Empress Luo quickly flashed a few figures in her mind, but after much deliberation, she still felt that it was inappropriate.
Although the Luo family only lives as an earl, but because of her as a queen, it is now the head of the state, even more noble than the Duke's mansion. The descendants of the Luo family are all rich and noble sons, and the same goes for Shuang'er. Can't marry.
-
Empress Luo and Emperor Yonglong were at a loss for Helian's choice of son-in-law.
On the other end, He Lianjin went to see He Lian Shuang.
"Why is Second Brother here?" He Lian Shuang was extremely surprised by He Lianjin's sudden entry into the palace.
"Shuang'er, I heard that you are going to choose a son-in-law?" He Lianjin didn't say directly, but just asked tentatively, wanting to see what attitude He Lian Shuang had on this matter.
He Lian Shuang looked indifferent, "Isn't it a matter of time? In the morning, I heard from my mother that my father would summon three candidate son-in-laws in the Golden Palace today to determine the final candidate. Since the second brother came from Yugan Palace, Then you must have seen it, right?"
"Those people have a beastly heart, which is not suitable for you, Shuang'er."
"I'm not married yet, how does Second Brother know it's not suitable?"
"Shuang'er, do you believe in the second brother?" He Lianjin suddenly looked at her with an indescribably serious expression.
"Believe me." He Lian Shuang nodded in a strange manner. Since she was a child, she has never doubted what the second brother said.
"If you believe in me, then I will recommend you the son-in-law."
"But..." Helian frowned, "Can Father agree?"
"This is your lifelong event, as long as you nod."
Originally, He Lianjin had no idea about the choice of son-in-law, but just now he thought about it on the way from Yugan Palace to He Lianshuang's bedroom, and finally thought of one person.
Shuang'er is doomed not to marry a powerful official, so she can only choose among ordinary people. That person is honest and honest, and treats others with sincerity. Lamp ancient Buddha.
He Lian pouted, "Anyway, I don't have freedom in marriage, everything depends on my second brother."
He Lianjin said: "Then get ready and follow me out of the palace in a while."
"Leaving the palace?" He Lian was puzzled.
"Take you to see him, whether you are satisfied or not, in the end you have the final say."
-
Qingxin Zhai on Tongji Street is Yun Chuwei's territory, and there is a private room on the second floor for VIPs to relax.
At this time, a man and a woman were sitting by the window. The man had sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes, with the tails of his eyes slightly upwards, making him flamboyant and charming.
The woman's face was exquisite and lovely, and she was wearing a red dress, as bright as a ball of fire.
It was He Lianjin and He Lianshuang, two brothers and sisters.
He Lian Shuang stared at the snowy scenery outside for a while, a little bored, "Didn't my brother promise to bring me to see my prospective son-in-law? Why haven't I seen anyone since I've been here for a long time?"
He Lianjin gently stroked the warm teacup in his hand, but did not speak.
After a while, a voice came from downstairs.
"Er Yong, Mrs. Zhang in Chengxi wants three boxes of hair oil and two boxes of aloe vera gel. Have you got them ready?"
"Er Yong, this is what Ms. Li wants from the south of the city. It's tied up. Don't miss it in the snow."
"Er Kor Angkor, hurry up and have dinner when you come back. I asked my aunt to bake pancakes today. They are delicious."
Wu Er originally helped move goods and count in the underground warehouse, but the little work in the warehouse was not enough for him to fill his teeth, so he came out to help in his spare time.
Because it was a snowy day, those ladies and wives from rich and noble families were too lazy to go out, so they simply sent someone to the shop to order goods. If they wanted something, they began to prepare goods here, and they would send them over immediately. Wu Er came out of the warehouse and followed Boys do this.
The reputation of Qingxin Zhai is gradually rising, and the business is getting better and better, and everyone is busy.
He Lian Shuang heard the voice, poked his head out and looked down, and saw an honest-looking boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, in winter, wearing only a navy blue singlet and a dust jacket over it. The fluttering gown, probably because he was very busy, with hot sweat on his forehead, after preparing the goods requested by the guests, he rubbed his hands and took a breath of hot air around his mouth, got on the donkey cart in the open air, waved With a whip, he quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
He Lian Shuang retracted his gaze and looked at He Lianjin, "The person the second brother said, but him?"
He Lianjin asked: "What do you think about Shuang'er?"
He Lianshuang didn't speak. In her opinion, there are a lot of people like this in the whole capital, nothing special.
He Lianjin easily saw through his sister's mind.
He just smiled and said nothing, the current Wu Yong really can't see anything, but in the last life, he was the future martial artist, but his marriage was not smooth.
To live a new life, He Lianjin's goal is not only to be a beautiful woman in the country, but also to change the fate of those close to him.
He didn't want Shuang'er to follow the old path of his previous life, so he planned to become Yuelao and lead a red rope between her and Wu Yong.
Wu Yong was much more down-to-earth than the three dignified people who stood in the Golden Palace in the morning.
He Lianjin was relieved to entrust his sister to such a person.
"Whatever!" He Lianshuang said indifferently.
Anyway, it is never possible to marry the person you like, so it is the same to marry anyone.
"Then it's settled. The wedding is approaching, and there's not much time for you to get to know him. I'll go back to Emperor Bingming later, and let him enter the palace to face the saint tomorrow morning."
Helian nodded, expressing no objection.
He Lianjin curled up his lips, as long as the two children are healthy, he will take care of Concubine Xiao's side slowly.

Yun Chuwei only got the news about Wu Yong's entrance to the palace at noon the next day, and was startled at that time, "Did Brother Angkor commit a crime?"
Meizi covered her lips and smiled, "Look at the nervousness of the girl, it's not a crime, it's a good thing."
"How to say?"
"Second Brother Angkor has been selected by the Holy Majesty to become the consort of the Fifth Princess." Meizi said with joy all over her face, "Aunt Wu and her family have finally made it through."
"Ah?!" Yun Chu felt as if struck by lightning.
This sudden news was so bombastic that it was impossible for people to react for a while.
"Isn't the son-in-law being selected by the Ministry of Rites?" Yun Chuwei still couldn't figure it out, Wu Er was just a waiter, how could Emperor Yonglong notice him?
"The servants are not very clear about the details. My uncle should know. When my uncle comes down to the Yamen, the girl can ask him."
-
When Su Yan came back from the Yamen, Yun Chuwei really couldn't wait to run to the study to ask.
"Master Jiu, I heard that Angkor Angkor has had great luck, is there such a thing?"
Su Yan nodded, "I entered the palace early this morning to face the saint."
Yun Chu became slightly nervous, "What did you ask him today?"
"A lot of questions." Su Yan said, "It's just that he basically can't answer them."
Wu Er was originally a countryman, and he couldn't read a few big characters. Coupled with the pressure of facing the emperor, it's strange that he could answer.
Yun Chu curled his lips slightly, "Looking at a farmer with the eyes of a literati, isn't this nitpicking?"
Su Yan smiled, "You must have never imagined that today, he just took a fancy to his honesty, so without further ado, he made a decision and passed."
Yun Chuwei was surprised again.
"Where are the three selected by the Ministry of Rites?"
"Being tampered with, that's why I temporarily changed my mind today."
Yun Chuwei suddenly realized, "So that's how it is." Then he sighed, "It's really unexpected, I asked him to come to the capital, and he came right, but he was hit by a gold brick falling from the sky for no reason."
Su Yan hugged her and sat on his lap, and kissed her forehead lightly, "That's good, there will be one less rotten peach blossom around you from now on."
Yun Chu snorted slightly, expressing his dissatisfaction, "When you go to the yamen every day, don't you see those big girls and little daughter-in-laws on the road coveting you? That's called rotten peach blossom! Also, don't think I don't I know, my mother has received many posts a few days ago. At the banquet, the wives of the aristocratic family always mentioned your concubine intentionally or unintentionally. ? How many concubines are you going to take, and where are you going to drive me so that I won't be in your eyes?"
She looked jealous, her cheeks bulged, and her little face was still glowing with a lovely crimson color, which made his heart soften, "I'll tell you later."
Yun Chu hummed softly, "I don't understand, you'll sleep in the study tonight!"
Su Yan smiled lowly: "Are you sure?"
Yun Chuwei avoided his gaze, and before he could react, he gagged his mouth.
-
Wu Er was chosen to be the consort of the Fifth Princess, and within a day the news spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The entire capital that was submerged in heavy snow boiled.
Many people went to Qingxin Zhai admiringly, which brought a lot of business to Qingxin Zhai.
As for Wu Yong himself, he is still in a daze until now.
"Er Kor, congratulations." In the backyard of Qingxinzhai, Wu Yong was fetching water from the well when Jiao Yan walked in with a forced smile on her face.
Wu Yong never knew her intentions, he just scratched the back of his head and said stupidly: "Actually, even I don't know what's going on."
The fifth princess, that is the daughter of Empress Luo, the most beloved jewel in the palm of the world, what a noble status, she is willing to condescend to marry into the Wu family?
Wu Yong felt a little ashamed when he thought that his three mothers had just arrived in the capital and didn't even have a decent house, so they might neglect the princess in the future.
"It is Angkor's blessing to be favored by the princess."
Jiao Yan took the bucket from his hand with a smile, "You, now that you are a prospective son-in-law, how can you do these rough jobs, just let it go, and I will do it."
"I can do it." Wu Yong snatched the bucket from Jiao Yan's hand and carried it by himself, "But sister Yan, you are wearing thin clothes in such a cold day, and it's hard to recover if you catch a cold carefully."
Jiao Yan turned her back to him, her eyes were red after hearing these words.
After that, no matter how Wu Er called her from behind, he ran out.
1. Here is an explanation of a small bug that appeared earlier. Princess Yiqing should be the elder sister of Emperor Yonglong, not the younger sister, and she is a much older elder sister than Emperor Yonglong. Otherwise, the explanation of the age of the younger generation will not make sense, and I will mention it later. Yiyi will be directly written as a sister-brother relationship, dear friends, don't question it.
2. Regarding the direction of the plot.
The chapter came out yesterday, and I lost a few favorites. I guess, some relatives must have felt abused. In fact, they didn’t. Those are just the memories of He Lianjin’s last life. In this life, everyone’s fate has changed a lot. Big changes, especially the hero and heroine, the bloody abuse in the previous life will not happen in this life. We said warm favors, so we must fulfill them!
Finally, I hope that you can come to the comment area to interact with Yiyi more, so that I will have the motivation to write articles! (* ̄3) (ε ̄*)
