Unlike Jingchu of the Guarjia clan, the prince was far away from the queens, and no one noticed the slight blush on his face. He paused, then strode forward and greeted: "Grandfather, Royal Madam..."
The concubines below returned the greetings one by one.
Only Yun Xiu gave him an encouraging look, as if to say, "If this girl wants to be the Crown Princess, you have to put in some effort."
The prince was touched and comforted, and nodded slightly, thinking that he would definitely live up to Yi'er Niang's expectations. Guaerjia smiled so gently, she must be pleased with me, really...
The wife that the emperor chose for him was not a stiff-necked woman, but a steady and lively girl, who was unexpectedly bold. Thinking of this, he coughed lightly. Even though he had not experienced love between men and women for sixteen years, he felt a little strange in his heart.
The Empress Dowager's wise eyes swept across Jingchu who was not far away, and then across her precious great-grandson who was standing in front of her. She felt that they were a perfect match, and her smile became even more kind.
The Queen Mother also smiled kindly, with a hint of joking in her words: "Is Baocheng here? Please take a seat." She also called Jingchu, who was unusually stiff, to her side and asked Concubine Wen cheerfully: "Where were we talking about just now?"
Concubine Wen was moved in her heart, the young man admired her.
She exchanged a glance with Yunxiu, then smiled and said, "To answer the Queen Mother's question, I was just saying that winter is coming in the blink of an eye, and this year seems to be particularly dry and cold. The winter clothes from previous years must not be enough to keep out the cold. I have discussed with Concubine Yi and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to each palace to measure the size and make the clothes thicker so that the palace ladies can have a good New Year."
Yun Xiu took over the conversation in a gentle voice, "It's just that the cloth stockpiled by the Guangchusi is limited, and we can't take out that much at once, so we have to allocate silver for purchase. It was originally fine, but they passed on a message saying that there is no precedent for the prince's marriage, and the regulations must not be violated. If we want to buy winter clothes, the inner treasury will be stretched and it will be difficult to continue. I am also in a dilemma, so I have to discuss it with Concubine Wen and come up with something, and then ask the emperor for instructions."
The Crown Prince's wedding will be postponed to next spring at the earliest after going through each agenda item. However, both the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department cannot help but pay attention to it!
Let's talk about winter clothes. Not to mention that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory predicted a snowstorm this year, it's still autumn and we're already feeling the cold of winter, so we can't delay keeping warm.
To be honest, it’s just that I don’t have any money.
The Grand Empress Dowager frowned for a moment, and said slowly with some difficulty: "Who is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs now?"
Without waiting for Concubine Wen to reply, Concubine Hui glanced at the upright Crown Prince and answered, "It is Lord Soetuso."
The hall was suddenly silent. No wonder the two imperial concubines were in such a dilemma. Wasn't it a hot potato to be involved with this person
The prince sat there with a smile on his face, his expression unchanged, and he was unmoved, only his remaining eyes quietly watching Jingchu on the jade steps.
He had no contact with the Hesheli family a long time ago, and even if Suo Etu was convicted by the emperor, he would not be implicated, so there was really nothing to worry about. What's more, Yi E Niang was there!
The prince knew the whole thing clearly, but Concubine Hui was still in the deep palace.
She was angry because the Empress Dowager's health suddenly improved, and her heart was cold. God was unfair, why did he favor the prince's fortune so much
After Mingzhu's death, Concubine Hui became more and more confused; the eldest prince shouted to her, "Soetu planned wholeheartedly for Yinreng, and Yinreng was just pretending," so she believed it and believed it without a doubt.
Now I just hope that Soetu will make the prince fall flat on his face!
Apart from Concubine Hui, Jingchu also didn't know.
She half-closed her eyes and listened attentively to the conversation between the old ancestor and the ladies. When she heard the three words "Suo E Tu", she suddenly remembered the words of her grandfather Shi Huashan, pursed her lips, and glanced at the prince.
"If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. Soetu will eventually suffer for it. The prince wants to be tied to him. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into the abyss. The emperor seems to have chosen you. If you can get the emperor's favor... you must always be careful in what you say and do, fulfill your duty as a good wife, and give advice if you can... even though the prince doesn't like to hear this..."
Jingchu thought calmly, if she entered Yuqing Palace, how should she persuade her in the future
Taking in her expression, the prince raised his eyebrows. Is Guaerjia worried about me
So he smiled, as if to comfort her.
Meeting the prince's glance and smiling, Jingchu blushed and felt a little embarrassed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very different from what she had imagined.
He was just as her mother had described, with a majestic figure and handsome appearance. Although she had never seen him, the noble ladies of her age respected and admired him. At the banquet, they talked about his fantasies in various ways. However, no matter how much they fantasized, their fantasies were all implicit and vague.
As the saying goes, living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. As the crown prince, His Royal Highness is full of majesty. The ladies know what is going on. If you really want to see him, don't say you are crazy, it's better not to be trembling!
Mother also said that one should not offend others recklessly, but should follow the rules and observe etiquette, and be respectful so that no one can find any fault with her. Jingchu deeply agreed with this.
But it is obvious that the prince is the one who does not follow the rules.
How can you smile at an unmarried girl like this... so beautifully!
The Empress Dowager had no idea what her beloved Yinreng was doing in secret.
She was extremely satisfied with the future Crown Princess carefully selected by the Emperor. After recovering from a serious illness, the feeling of exhaustion disappeared and she even felt better day by day.
—She was delighted to see Jingchu, a girl who was definitely the material for becoming the queen mother. She was unwilling to leave without seeing Baocheng’s wedding with her own eyes.
However, since it now involves the Imperial Household Department and Soetu, and Jingchu has not married into the royal family, it would be inappropriate for her to continue listening.
not to mention…
The Empress Dowager looked at the Crown Prince who was sitting upright, and then at Jingchu who was keeping her eyes down and saying nothing, and she seemed to be worried for a rare moment.
Baocheng has never been close to a woman since he was a child, and the emperor does not allow beautiful palace maids to serve him. Until now, he has not come to his senses.
Jingchu was even more dignified and steady. How could two idiots like her fall in love with each other when they were together, listening to them talking about palace affairs
After a few moments, the Grand Empress Dowager made the final decision, ordering the Crown Prince to take Jingchu to "wander around the garden" and "fulfill the duties of a good host." The meaning was so obvious that the Empress Dowager was speechless.
Wouldn't this be too fast
Yun Xiu also felt something was wrong, so she turned around and saw that the prince had already accepted the order solemnly, looking as serious as if he was going to do his job, and he was just about to say "Yes, Your Majesty".
So Yunxiu also became worried.
Seeing Yinreng and Jingchu leave the palace one after another, the Empress Dowager felt that her heart was floating outside. Worried about the relationship between the two, the old lady mentioned Suo Etu in a very uneasy tone: "I want the emperor to ask him where the Ministry of Internal Affairs is! It's okay to lack money, but can he afford to delay Baocheng's wedding for this?"
The concubines were all silent. When Concubine Hui heard this, she concealed the slight smile on her lips. Even the Empress Dowager's displeasure at having the Crown Prince deliberately arranged for the Crown Prince to get along with the Guarjia family faded a little.
The emperor issued an edict to arrange a marriage for Yinzhi, but he only mentioned it to her and kept the Irgen Gioro family name. He was not as concerned about it as he is now in selecting the Crown Princess.
What’s the use of the list of beauties that she had spent so much effort to find out
The Empress Dowager was so biased that she allowed Guaerjia to enter the palace to serve. In fact, everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions.
Concubine Hui sneered and said, "Look at each other?"
It would be better if they could become a pair of unhappy lovers!
Changchun Garden was full of beautiful scenery, but Jingchu was so confused that she had no intention of enjoying the scenery. Her heart tightened slightly, but her pace remained calm, always one step behind the prince, suppressing the urge to look up.
From this angle, His Highness's outstanding face could not be seen clearly, and the confusion turned into regret.
If you don't look back, it would be nice if you could let me see Concubine Yi more.
…
The prince walked slowly, pondering over the name in his mind: Jingchu, it's a good name.
No one noticed his stiffness, and silence spread between the two.
After half an incense stick of time, no one spoke. He Zhuer became anxious, and the aunt called by the Empress Dowager was also anxious.
My prince, please say something!
Perhaps he heard their thoughts, the prince stopped, leaned over, and suddenly spoke: "I heard that the ancestor called you Jingchu."
It was the time of the year when the late autumn sun was not too strong, but rather had a cool and gentle feel. Through the layers of clouds, his face was coated with a layer of golden light. His jawline was smooth, his lips were slightly pursed, his eyes were focused, and his voice was clear, revealing a bit of youthful spirit.
Jingchu was stunned.
After a long time, she noticed that the corners of the prince's lips curled up, she lowered her eyes and finally replied: "...Yes."
******
Imperial study.
Kangxi lost interest in handling government affairs. He threw the memorial aside, closed his eyes and turned his jade ring: "Liang Jiugong..."
He stopped talking halfway through.
All the eunuchs serving in front of the emperor were worried. When would the general manager return
Perhaps their hope came true. Facing the surprised looks of the palace gate guards, Liang Jiugong rushed to the tea room in the side hall, panting. He gulped down a large glass of cold water, wiped the sweat off his face, tidied his appearance, and then quietly returned to his seat to serve.
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Liang Jiugong told the whole story: "Your Majesty, He Zhuer told me everything, saying that... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the girl from the Guarjia clan... are getting along very well and are having a very pleasant conversation."
Kangxi suppressed his gratification without showing any expression, tapped the table, and asked slowly, "How come you are having such a pleasant conversation?"
Liang Jiugong's smiling face suddenly became strange.
But he dared not answer.
"The prince asked, 'I heard that you have a younger brother. What kind of person is he? Is he well-behaved or naughty?'" Liang Jiugong paused, and his voice gradually became lower. "Then he mentioned the Ninth Prince, saying that he was very worried about his brother's situation, and asked if there was any way for the young lady to help him."
Glancing at the emperor's face, Liang Jiugong was unsure whether to continue. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then... the prince and the young lady complained about the Fourth Prince, saying that he was too tough and acted like an old man at the age of twelve. Which girl would be willing to be the Fourth Prince's wife in the future?"
Kangxi tried his luck, his face gradually turned pale: "..."
Liang Jiugong shut his mouth and shrank his neck. A low pressure atmosphere filled the imperial study.
After an unknown amount of time, the emperor sighed, pinched his nose, and said in a deep voice, "Xiu Xiu is right. I don't know how to marry a concubine, so I'd better not marry a concubine. Go and summon Longkodo."
Liang Jiugong thought to himself that this was an unexpected success, fulfilling Concubine Yi's wish and making the Tong family's plan go awry.
After receiving the emperor's summons, Longkodo had several thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show them on his face. He kowtowed with great respect and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Kangxi glanced at him indifferently and did not call him to stand up, just letting him kneel.
"Was it your idea or your father's idea for the daughter of the Tong family to enter the Yuqing Palace?"
The emperor's question was without any emotion, and it was as chilling as a mountain pressing down on Longkodo's head, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
A few days ago, my father said that judging from the emperor's attitude, it seemed that he had agreed to this matter. It was just that the Crown Princess entered first, and the concubine was delayed. After my father felt sorry, he did not feel regretful.
But why does the emperor look like he is asking for punishment today? ! Please remember:, website mobile version m. computer version., free and fastest update without anti-theft without anti-theft.
