Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 147 How long are you going to be sick?
When Emperor Chengqi was young, he liked to go out and was full of curiosity about many things. Later, the responsibilities on his shoulders became heavier, and this curiosity was gradually wiped out by the daily high-level memorials and court intrigues.

He didn't remember that it was a few years ago when he came back to Xu's mansion. Every brick and tile hasn't changed, which made him feel a lot of emotion.

"It's all old." Before Xu Ze came back, he had already strolled around on his own.

"Make do with it." Xu Ze had no dissatisfaction with his family.

Emperor Chengqi suddenly felt that the old widower was a bit pitiful, "Why doesn't he want to renew his strings?" Even if there is a concubine by his side to know the cold and the hot, it is good.

The sun was fierce, so Xu invited Emperor Chengqi to rest in the living room, "Ken, nothing good happened."

Hearing that the other party was perfunctory, Emperor Chengqi did not bother about this matter, "The imperial doctor said you are not sick, what do you think?"

"I'm sick in my heart, and I need half a year to recuperate. If the emperor feels sorry for me, then I will allow this leave."

Emperor Chengqi didn't bother to look at the insincere face of the other party, "When you were young, your face was not flushed and your heart beat when you were talking nonsense, but now you are more sophisticated."

Xu Ze looked away, "It's nothing."

Only then did he remember that the king in front of him was much older than himself, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he looked grown up.

Seeing that he was indeed not ill, Emperor Chengqi was half relieved, but the other party's previous shake of face made him suffocate, "Prince Rui asked for an order to go to Jinling to persuade the crown prince to return to Beijing, what do you think?"

Xu Ze was surprised and said with a broken smile: "The Crown Princess is in Jinling, the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family are in Jinling, who is His Royal Highness Prince Rui trying to force to death?"

At any rate, he was his own son, and he was somewhat unhappy to be ridiculed by Emperor Chengqi like this, but he also understood Xu Ze, and the other party's words were ugly, but it was not impossible.

Zhao Yanran just made a fuss a while ago asking him to confiscate Cheng Fu's home and exile him, but now he is suddenly going to Jinling, he doesn't believe that he didn't go there for "revenge".

Xu felt that the emperor had changed a lot, "It's better to arrange some other errands for His Highness Prince Rui. As for Jinling, send someone from the clan who can talk to the prince." Clearing up the situation, he gave up his brother Gong.

Xu Ze's suggestions were always just right to bring new ideas to Emperor Chengqi. He quickly thought of a candidate, and he was very sure that this person could bring the prince back, so that their father and son would not end up on the path of tearing their faces apart. situation.

"How long are you going to be sick?"

Xu Zeman said indifferently, "It depends on the situation."

The next day everyone found that Xu Ze was no longer a decoration in the court hall. He talked when it was time to speak, and went to the imperial study obediently to discuss politics after the court. Many people who had previously sung him as "falling out of favor" were quite disappointed.

Ignoring everyone's grievances, Xu Ze glanced at everyone in the imperial study and found that Zhao Yanran was not there.

"You know about the incident at Shanji Temple in Jinan Prefecture. Didn't they escape more than 30 people? The government has not arrested them for a long time. The Emperor was thinking about who to send to preside over the arrest. His Highness Prince Rui volunteered." People from Dali Temple whispered in his ear.

"Oh." Ordinarily, it would be useless to send a prince with little experience in handling cases, but the emperor probably didn't want his son to be obsessed with Jinling, so when the other party mentioned it, he agreed even if it was inappropriate.

A major event happened in Jinan Prefecture last month. A young monk who had been abused for a long time reported to the government that a large number of treasures were hidden in the well of Shanji Temple. pretend.

In order not to startle the snake, the local magistrate invited a few monks to the government on the grounds of understanding the situation. As a result, the whole temple ran away overnight. This move basically confirmed the guess.

This case is not small, Zhao Yanran won't come back for a while.

While deserting, Prime Minister Cheng Qi proposed to Emperor Chengqi that the court was in the midst of employing people, and many things could be done safely by familiarity.Xu noticed that several of the officials he wanted to adjust were members of the Chen family.

This is very interesting. Last time, due to the entanglement between the Song and Chen families, it had a bad influence on the people in the capital. Emperor Chengqi issued a punishment, but it has not been restored.And the right minister secretly threatened to restore the official positions of the Chen family members, saying that ghosts would not believe it if there was no picture.

Xu guessed that the two families probably reached some kind of tacit agreement.

After so long, the influence has faded, and Emperor Chengqi still wanted to continue to use the two families. After some consideration, he agreed to the right minister's request and revoked all punishments.

"Jiancheng, at the beginning you caused heavy losses to the two families because of your own selfish desires. Now that the two families have recovered, you should be blessed." Today's political discussion is over, someone said intentionally when passing by Xu Ze.

Xu Ze looked at the other party with a funny face: "You can tell me what my selfish desire is for."

"Hey, we all know that Xu Tongzhi wants to take that granddaughter of the Chen family as his concubine. You are venting your anger." The matter of Cheng Fu and Xu Ye is now one of the hot topics in Beijing.

"Oh~" Xu Ze looked suddenly enlightened, but he didn't refute, just left the imperial study with a smile.

Within two days, this official who was talkative in public in front of Xu Ze was accused of being virtuous and unworthy. He connived at home slaves to staking land in his hometown, which aroused a lot of resentment from the local people. What was more serious was that his beloved nephew actually She quietly took the exiled daughter of a criminal minister as a concubine, and even bribed the government to change her birth.

The official was immediately dismissed and investigated, which caused a sensation in the court.

The sensation was not because of officials committing crimes, but because Xu Ze would avenge his personal revenge publicly, which was too unlike his usual style.You must know that there are worse words on weekdays. He is almost never angry, and he pushes back when he is in a good mood. Anyway, no one can speak against him. If he is in a bad mood, he sneers and walks away. No one can actually hurt him at all.

Prime Minister Zuo felt a little headache when he thought of Xu Jiancheng's appearance as a courtier, "What makes them think Xu Ze is easy to mess with?"

"The right-hand man should have returned to his soul." Recently, he has been too arrogant, forgetting how much he weighs, whether there is any reason in the hands of others.

The third prince only knew that his father valued Xu Ze, but he couldn't imagine how much he valued him, "Then what are we going to do now?"

"Wait and see what happens, Xu Ze won't let the right minister take the lead." Many times what Xu Ze meant was what Emperor Chengqi meant.

Jinling
Knowing that not only the people in Jinling were talking about her being Xu Ye's concubine, but also the people in the capital, Cheng Fu only felt that everyone was really idle, which also showed that the world was okay, and he had to think more about how to use this peaceful and prosperous age to hoard wealth. yes.

"Does it have to be him?" Aunt Hua felt unhappy when she thought of the increasingly outrageous rumors outside.

The brothers and sisters of the Cheng family can be regarded as what she has seen all the way to today. They are two simple children. The elder brother studies hard, and the younger sister works hard to make money.

But outsiders are really not tolerant of them. They have done nothing wrong, but they are always criticized. The hatred of people with malicious intentions towards them has almost become an obsession. retribution.

Nowadays, anyone who knows their brothers and sisters will say that they are pitiful.

"Son, listen to my advice, it's the most worry-free to recruit a door-to-door husband-in-law." When Aunt Hua said this, she looked around vigilantly, for fear that Xu Ye would appear suddenly.

Cheng Fu suppressed a smile, and comforted him: "Don't worry, aunt, I can't suffer."

Master Jing Er was also worried. This rumor became more and more true, which made him wonder whether Cheng Fu really wanted to be Xu Ye's concubine.He really wanted to make a proposal and help his son propose a marriage, but Jing Yuanze said everything that day, and he had to worry about his son's feelings.

The most embarrassing thing now is, what does Cheng Fu think, is he really planning to be Xu Ye's concubine?Then it would be better to marry into the Jing family, anyway, Ming Media is marrying the third-bedroom grandma.

Wu Ying was also worried. He always felt that if the rumor of being a concubine could be mentioned all the time, there must be someone behind the scenes, and there were more than one family.He was worried that it would be of no benefit to the little girl if she went on for a long time. In the future, she would be looked down upon when she went to decent places and met cooperating guests.This is something he cannot accept anyway.

And Xu Ye has never made a statement, Cheng Fu has not defended, and even Cheng Han, a well-known fan of sisters, is very quiet, which makes it difficult for those who care about them to help them easily.

"Brother Lang Chen, please marry Sister Fu to me, she is so good, it's too wronged to be a concubine." The young Ji Rui couldn't stand it.

"Brother Lang Chen... did you listen to me?"

Cheng Han nodded and hummed.

"Sister Fu is so nice, don't let her be someone else's concubine, I feel bad." Ji Rui was depressed, and he could see that he was really affected by the rumors outside.

Cheng Han said calmly: "Even if I die, she will never want to be a concubine." His younger sister deserves the best in the world.

"Then, do you mean that you are willing to betroth her to me?" Ji Rui opened his mouth.

"Your liking for her is not a relationship between a man and a woman." Cheng Han took his homework and reviewed it carefully.

Ji Yan raised his head and glared at his son, scaring Ji Rui so much that he sat back in his seat, not daring to speak small words.

In contrast, the atmosphere on Xu Ye's side was even more impetuous.Every day, invitations and gifts were sent to the yamen and home, and those who returned them still refused to let go, and their attitude was not good. After those people went back, they slandered his little girl everywhere.Because he had more important matters at hand, and the little girl didn't want to clarify, so he endured it.

Xu Ze’s letter said that Zhao Yanran had gone to Jinan Mansion, which is true, but Xu Ye’s secret message gave him the news that Zhao Yanran said that after arriving in Jinan Mansion, he said that he was not acclimatized to the environment and recuperated behind closed doors. In fact, he had gone from Jinan Mansion to Jinling coming.

Xu Ye had to arrange suitable candidates to expose Zhao Yanran's AWOL, and he had to pass the news to the prince in Jinling without revealing himself. In addition, he had to find out what kind of tacit agreement the Zhang family and the Chen family had reached. It took a while.

Both of them are busy with each other, and they tacitly don't intend to respond to anything, but even so, they still can't stand someone insisting on getting closer, and it was during the first game of this year's Cuju competition.

The prince did not miss various games in the capital, but it was the first time he saw such a serious construction of a special venue equipped with various facilities. He was very rare, and accompanied by Cheng Fu, he visited various places.

"This young man is very strange, is he a stranger who just came to Jinling?" You Lanping and several girls suddenly stood in front of them, blocking their way.

"I just arrived in Jinling not long ago." Zhao Yantao replied kindly.

Cheng Fu always felt that there must be no good for You Lanping to come to the door, so before they could speak, he said to Zhao Yantao: "I will take you to the viewing area first."

Zhao Yantao nodded and started to walk away, You Lanping took another step forward and stood in front of them.

Now Zhao Yantao's face is not as good-looking as before, "Miss, what's the matter?"

You Lanping raised an eye at Cheng Fu provocatively, and then said to Zhao Yantao: "Young Master, do you know the origin of Miss Cheng beside you?"

Zhao Yantao was patient, "Of course."

You Lanping sneered, "You are new here, you must not know that she is someone else's concubine now, I don't think you look like a child of an ordinary family, so don't be fooled by this lowly woman and delay your reputation."

Zhao Yantao wanted to help the little girl solve this trouble, but thought that she and Xu Ye hadn't said a word these days, which meant that they had their own plans.

"You solve it yourself, I'll watch the game." As soon as the words fell, You Lanping, who was standing in front of her, was pulled from behind by someone and pulled away from her. After the man let go, she lost her balance and fell directly to the ground. Only then did the other girls realize that the young man had brought a lot of people.

You Lanping was very wronged for losing a big ugly face, but the "unreasonable" man had long since disappeared surrounded by guards, so she could only get up slowly with the help of the little maid.Ordinarily, the clothes were also dirty, so it would be polite to change them, but she chose to blame Cheng Fu for her bad luck.

"You cheap bastard, you don't follow women's morals, you are a concubine and you go around seducing men, Mr. Xu is blind and let you in. Today I will help Mr. Xu clean up the house. Someone will arrest her and take her away."

However, none of her maids and women dared to step forward, but Cheng Fu became impatient, and ordered the guards he brought, "drive them out." Then he said to Ji Xueyi, who was already disgraced next to him, "order, You Lanping Do not approach Lianghexuan, nor participate in any activities of Lianghexuan and Dahe Theater. If you dare to make trouble, turn it over to the government."

"You... how dare you, do you know who I am?"

Cheng Fu said with a cold face, "Why, Princess Roujia asked you to make trouble? Then I will ask her for an explanation later. I would like to ask me when Cheng Fu offended Princess Roujia, or what I offended you, You Lanping, at that time. Or is it that you just didn’t clean up, and felt that the stick last time wasn’t enough, and today you want to suffer again in front of the people of Jinling City.”

"You obviously don't obey women's morals, and you behave intimately with outsiders. I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, and you still have the face to anger others."

"Come here, smash her mouth and send her back to the Jing family." Cheng Fu didn't want to talk nonsense to her, so he turned and left.

Because he didn't avoid others, the news that Cheng Fu ordered You Lanping to be beaten in public spread widely that night.Sang Ziqi went to Xu Ye and asked him not to be selfish. Cheng Fu had to take responsibility for beating someone, and sent Cheng Fu to the Yamen to wait for punishment.

Xu Ye asked him to ask Princess Roujia first if Cheng Fu hit You Lanping.If Princess Roujia said no, then others misunderstood, You Lanping fell and hurt herself, and Sang Zhiqi was blocked and speechless.

As for the Jing family, because You Lanping got into trouble again, the Jing family became more and more displeased. Even Mrs. Jing felt that she did not act like a lady today, no different from a gossip woman in the alley.In the past, when they met, they would call out for intimacy, like their own grandparents, but now they can't wait to distance themselves from her.

Elder Princess Roujia also felt a bit uncomfortable about stepping down. After all, she bothered the Jing family, and her own people caused troubles for the Jing family again and again. He picked some good materials and jewelry and sent them to the Jing family.

"I don't think it should be cured. Her mouth will be poisoned sooner or later even if she gets married." Jing Yuanze didn't know how bad You Lanping said, but he saw the other party's horrific injuries, so he guessed that it must be terrible.

The beating of You Lanping became the "evidence" of Cheng Fu's arrogance and domineering. Some people pretended to be ignorant while others were pure malice.But it's too late, some people who have already cleared their minds gradually realized that something was wrong.To put it bluntly, there is no grievance between little girls, and what is more vicious and cruel is that they are not so lively.

The brothers and sisters of the Cheng family still endured this notoriety, and Xu Ye seemed to endure it too.But within a few days, someone from the You family came to take You Lanping back to Xiuzhou. It was said that a marriage was planned for her.

You Lanping struggled to be thrown into the carriage, but Princess Roujia neither kept her nor sent her off.
