Rong Suihe made up his mind and walked over to pull Princess Gaomi's sleeve and said: "Princess, this is actually not a big deal. It's just that Yuanliu Jin lost his temper after drinking and lost his sense of proportion. Since you have already taught him a lesson, , I think this is all, right? After all, it’s a wonderful feast today, and we can’t ruin everyone’s interest for something like this.”
After hearing this, Princess Gaomi, who was originally angry, turned around and looked at him seriously. After confirming that he had not suffered any loss and that he sincerely wanted to settle the matter, she said with a loving face: "My son is tolerant and generous, how can my mother and concubine?" Can you allow it?"
Turning around, facing the uncle and nephew of the Yuan family, his face suddenly changed into a frosty expression, "If you want to know that you bully my son's generosity in the future, see how I deal with you!"
Yuan Liujin smiled bitterly and held down Yuan Kai who wanted to speak for him. Princess Gaomi made it clear that she was partial. Even if Yuan Kai was the direct grandson of Princess Gaomi, he might not be able to gain favor by standing up now. Why should he continue? Drag this nephew into the water
Holding back his shame, anger and grievance, Yuan Liujin bowed and said: "I will obey the princess's order!"
"Ziye, you are too biased!" But the matter calmed down, but that was not what Empress Dowager Meng wanted to see. At this moment, Empress Dowager Meng took a sip of tea and said kindly, "Just look at Liu Jin's appearance. What is it?" It’s so obvious who’s bullying whom! Or do you think, in Midnight, that the Ai family’s eyesight is no longer useful due to their age?”
Princess Gaomi turned her head and blessed her and said: "What the Queen Mother said is really serious. Who doesn't know that the Queen Mother is always strong? Otherwise, the emperor and his wife are here today. How could the palace people dare to report such a trivial matter to you? However, Queen Mother, you just heard that this matter was originally caused by the uncles and nephews of the Yuan family. My son is older than their uncles and nephews in terms of age, and he is one generation older than Yuan Kai in terms of seniority! The elder brother saw that his younger brother is not sensible. , as an uncle, if you see your nephew being rude and give him a lesson, that’s natural! So how can you blame my son? "
Empress Dowager Meng said happily: "Today, the royal family and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty gathered in Linyuan for a banquet. Is this an occasion for Prince Mi Zhen to teach others?"
"Mother, today is a good day for the royal family and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to gather in Shanglin Garden for a banquet. If this matter continues to cause trouble and sweeps away the interest of everyone in the court, wouldn't it be a good thing?" Princess Gaomi said immediately, "Left and right. It's just a quarrel between a few children, and they don't care about it now. We, the elders, still insist on being stubborn, but it actually makes it difficult for them, doesn't it? "
"How can this be called unyielding? This is also for the good of Mi Zhen County Prince!" Empress Dowager Meng said displeased, "It is said that spoiling a child is like killing a child. Children all know that they will be beaten and punished if they do something wrong, let alone Mi Zhen The prince is such a big man, and he makes trouble at festivals, so he doesn’t think about the consequences?! Or at Midnight, do you think that no matter what the occasion or place, as long as both parties feel that it’s over, they don’t need to be punished? ? What kind of words does this sound like!"
He added, "As for spoiling everyone's interest...you don't need to worry! Just punish me now and announce it later!"
How could Princess Gaomi be willing to let Rong Suihe be punished? She immediately said: "At the end of last year, the late Miss Meng Fifteen had ice water poured on her head by the emperor's sister-in-law in public. This happened in the main hall of Xinshou Palace. Outside! At that time, the empress mother thought that Miss Meng Shishi was rude, so she did not pursue the imperial sister-in-law. She just sent Miss Meng Shishi out of the palace. Today, the children were just arguing in the royal garden. The youngest Yuan Kai has not yet tied his hair, so why is the mother unwilling to handle her as gently as she did when dealing with the previous dispute between the Meng sisters? The mother said that her daughter-in-law is partial, can the mother be as considerate to her daughter-in-law as she is to the younger members of her mother's family?"
When Queen Meng poured ice water on Meng Lijiang, the Queen Mother actually gave a hush-hush order.
But obviously the Gaomi Wang faction is not a waste of money, and they actually found out about this matter.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Meng was thinking about who had leaked the secret, and her face darkened: "Are you saying that the Ai family is unfair?! Then the Ai family wants to ask you, the prince of Mi Zhen County was once the number one scholar in high school, but is he really talented and learned? !”
Without waiting for Princess Gaomi's reply, the Queen Mother continued, "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. The Queen and Fifteen are just girls. Although they are also literate, how can they be as knowledgeable as the number one scholar?! Therefore, others will just pay for this incident. They were once in high school. Prince Mi Zhen, the number one scholar, is actually ignorant, how can he not be punished more severely?!"
"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true." Princess Gaomi was about to speak, but Rong Suihe had already become impatient and said, "So I asked to be exiled to Northern Xinjiang as punishment. I wonder if the Queen Mother will be satisfied?"
"He'er, don't talk nonsense!!!" As soon as she said these words, Empress Dowager Meng was stunned. Princess Gaomi's expression changed and she shouted urgently, "My concubine finally got you back, how could you just Not only do you want to leave Chang'an, but you also want to go to Northern Xinjiang?!"
The princess was anxious to persuade Rong Suihe to give up this idea. Seeing this situation, Queen Mother Meng was a little surprised and thought to herself: "After all, this is a collusion between the Gaomi Prince's family and the purpose of letting Prince Mi Zhen go to the north." Xinjiang, to consolidate the military power of Gaomi King's faction in northern Xinjiang; Mi Zhen County King was the top scholar in high school when he was only 20 years old, and was immediately stripped of his status as a descendant of the clan. Even if he was granted the title of County King as compensation, his youthful temperament could not be calmed down after all. . Now you are thinking about making a career in military strategy to prove yourself, so you plan to go to Northern Xinjiang without permission?"
If it was the arrangement of the Gaomi Palace, Queen Mother Meng would certainly not agree; but if it was Rong Suihe's personal idea, Queen Mother Meng felt that she might not be able to accommodate him.
After all, Empress Dowager Meng does not think that just because Rong Suihe can read, he will be able to get along in the army. This kind of young people who have been good at reading since they were young are most likely to suffer from the problem of looking down on their superiors and relying on their talents and arrogance, especially the current representatives of the Gaomi Wang faction in northern Xinjiang. He was Zhao Shi, the general of Huaihua, Rong Suihe's biological uncle.
If after Rong Suihe leaves, he uses his identity as the son of King Gaomi to fight for power with Zhao Shi, and then engages in a paper war... Not only is it a good thing for Meng Boqin, the representative of the Meng family in northern Xinjiang, but the Zhao family may also have to follow him. Is there a gap in the Gaomi Palace
Of course, this is what Empress Dowager Meng expected. She would definitely not nod to such an important matter before she was sure that Rong Suihe was a military waste.
At this moment, she looked at Princess Gao Mi with cold eyes, begging Rong Suihe not to leave her side with almost tears. She glanced at Sheng Weiqiao beside Queen Meng from the corner of her eyes while she was thinking. She thought to herself: "Turn back and let Bijun seduce Kang Zhao." If so, let’s see what kind of person Rong Suihe is?”
The Queen Mother could see that Princess Gaomi felt deep pain for Rong Suihe, but Rong Suihe was probably dissatisfied with living outside for many years, and had no idea of filial piety towards his mother, and was even a little indifferent and disdainful. .
Maybe this young prince is the opportunity for Meng to overthrow King Gaomi
But just after the mother and son argued for a few words, there was another sound of footsteps outside, followed by a somewhat panicked report from the palace attendant: "The Imperial Concubine..."
"Okay!" Concubine Shu interrupted impatiently, "I will go in by myself, why are you so nagging? Or is there something shameful inside that you don't want me to see?!"
While he was talking, the bejeweled and radiant Concubine Shu had already walked in, holding the palace maid's hand, Shi Shiran, glanced around, blessed her upwards meaningfully, and smiled: "Empress Dowager, what are you doing? A battle? With so many people calling here, could it be that they are planning to leave His Majesty and my concubines and sisters to have a table here alone?"
When Empress Dowager Meng saw her, she remembered what Concubine Mo had just said, "I am a serious daughter-in-law after all, and Er Shu is your son's concubine after all." She said with a gloomy face: "The Ai family is having trouble doing things, so why should I ask you?! You unruly thing, get out! The Ai family didn't give permission, who let you break in without permission!"
"Why is the Queen Mother so angry?" Concubine Shu stood motionless. Everyone in the palace knew how much Emperor Xuan Jing doted on Er Shu. They looked at each other at this moment and did not even dare to push her. The Queen Mother trembled slightly when she saw this. But he calmly said, "How can I dare to disturb you without permission? This is not the time when Your Majesty was talking to King Gaomi. He accidentally remembered the Prince of Mi Zhen whom King Gaomi had just recognized. He became interested and asked me to come over and take charge of the county. King, please come over and take a look?"
...Beside Empress Meng, Sheng Weiqiao curled her lips secretly. When Concubine Mo left, Empress Dowager Meng said she would call the elders such as Rong Suihe and others over.
As a result, a high-density princess showed up after a while.
Sheng Weiqiao thought that this was someone sent by the Queen Mother and told Princess Gaomi alone!
It’s not that other people didn’t know about the co-authorship, it’s that they were probably stopped by King Gaomi and went straight to Ershu’s path!
Even for Princess Gaomi, I'm afraid it's not that King Gaomi doesn't want to stop her, but that she really can't stop this wife who loves her son so much.
"I thought I would be able to see this man's disgraced face and vent his anger today, but I didn't expect..." Sheng Weiqiao felt very disappointed, "How come he wasn't ordered by the Queen Mother to drag him out to fight?! Even with his own grandmother Mo Mo It’s okay for the concubine to kneel down as punishment!!!”
Because he was so disappointed and unwilling, Sheng Weiqiao kept staring at Rong Suihe, hoping that things would turn around again and that this man could be dragged down and beaten up or something. However, Rong Suihe noticed it and thought she was worried about him, so when no one was paying attention, he gave her a "reassuring" look.
Sheng Weiqiao's eyes widened in anger and he turned his head away bitterly! look! he!
At this time, the girl was still holding on to a faint hope. After Rong Suihe was brought to Emperor Xuan Jing, Emperor Xuan Jing took a quick look and said, "I don't like this pretty face. Come on, please drag me down first." Let’s play eighty! Then it depends on my mood whether I want to continue playing or not!”
But the fact is that Emperor Xuan Jing was so distracted by Shu Zhaoyi's coquettish words that he waved his hands casually without even looking at Rong Suihe: "Are you my nephew, the kid who sealed the title of Mi Zhen County Prince? Well, really An outstanding good boy... Come, come and give me... Well, let's see if I have anything suitable to reward this child with me this time."
King Gaomi hurriedly took Rong Suihe with him to express his gratitude.
After a while, the palace attendant brought a pair of jade swan and sea green ribbon rings, lowered his head and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, concubine, can I have these pair of ribbon rings?"
Emperor Xuanjing asked Shu Zhaoyi directly: "Zhaoyi?"
"This pair of tapestry rings are newly made. Your Majesty hasn't used them yet?" Shu Zhaoyi turned around and looked at them, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "It's a good idea to give them to Mi Zhen County Prince! Your Majesty, look at Mi Zhen County Prince Although the contours of her face look exactly like those of Concubine Mo when she was young, her eyebrows clearly resemble His Majesty’s!”
Emperor Xuan Jing, who had long been dizzy after being persuaded by the Shu sisters to drink, subconsciously stared at Rong Suihe and looked at him. Because he was so drunk, he really couldn't see what he looked like, but out of his love for Zhaoyi and his Trusting, he still nodded: "Then give it to him!"
King Gaomi took the opportunity and said: "Brother Emperor, this child is ignorant. Just now he and his uncle and nephew from the Yuan family..."
"How can there be anything to argue about such a trivial matter?" Shu Zhaoyi said quickly, "Your Majesty, don't you think so? This Shanglin Garden belongs to His Majesty, and His Majesty's nephew made trouble with others in the garden, but he did not disturb him. We, the children, don’t care anymore, it’s just a waste of time to pursue anything!”
Emperor Xuan Jing nodded repeatedly: "Zhaoyi said forget it, then forget it... You guys go down, I... I..." The following string of murmurs could not be heard clearly.
King Gaomi smiled: "Thank you, Brother Huang, Zhaoyi. I will take my leave!"
After leaving Emperor Xuan Jing's presence, King Gaomi's face darkened, and he whispered: "Are you too harsh? I can only pay back the Yuanliu Gold, but Kai'er, you are your direct nephew, why don't you beat him yourself?" Damn, it can be said to be a lesson. How can you let your servant do something to him?!"
He glanced coldly at Gongsun Xi, who was silently following Rong Suihe, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt, "You can't keep this young man in the house! For the sake of serving you, I will slap him with ten when he comes back." Banzi, give him two hundred taels of silver and leave!"
