As soon as he said this, some people were holding back their laughter, some people were watching the excitement, and there were people like the second prince who wanted to help.
Xie Yin said: "Father, the Chu family sister is a woman, but she forcibly stabbed the grandson of the grandfather, so that a good person is only an eight-year-old child, and the grandfather is the elder of the two dynasties, how can this matter not make him angry Chilling? If the Chu family is married again, and the two families clash again, wouldn't it be more hatred? I beg the father and the emperor to think twice."
Before Xie Chongming could say anything, the third prince scolded the second prince again: "Second brother, this is a bad word. It's not bad for Shi Taifu to be a veteran, but the Dali Temple Master Chu has also made a lot of achievements. What's more, the Chu family sister was before this. He has already had a good match, but now he has been divorced by Qi Shangshu, and his reputation is also affected. Since Shi Gongzi has become a mentally unsound person, he just punished the Chu family sister to marry him and take care of him for the rest of his life. Both sides have been fair, why not Woolen cloth?"
Taifu Shi was originally inclined towards the second prince, but now that something like this happened, no matter how confused Taifu Shi was, he knew that his precious grandson was implicated in the struggle for succession. But he had no evidence, so he hated it. If the second prince loses his support at this time, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow.
So what else did the second prince think about, but Xie Chongming directly hammered the bricks and decided: "Don't fight any more. I have decided to marry the youngest daughter of the Chu family to the grandson of the Shi family. The marriage ceremony is scheduled for next month. It will be handled by the Ministry of Rites." After Xie Chongming finished, he asked the eunuch to bring his own sympathy and comfort to the Taifu, and then found someone to appease the Dali Temple Qing Clan Chu, and the disturbance was finally subsided.
When Taifu Shi first heard the news, he was very dissatisfied. Chu Miao, who hurt his grandson like that, was seen by so many people in front of everyone. How could such an innocent woman marry into his Shi family? !
Seeing this, the guest hurriedly persuaded: "Sir, why should you be worried. Your son is already like this. Wouldn't it be good for a Chu woman to marry into the Shi family? If there is any grievance at that time, the door will be closed. Who can say no to beating their own daughter-in-law?"
Master Shi understood, and after thinking about it again, he immediately agreed to the marriage. Not only that, but he also went to the palace with an old face to thank him.
On the other hand, the Chu Mansion was not so happy. Mrs. Chu's tears were like pouring beans. Ever since she heard the emperor's decree, the tears have not stopped. Master Chu was also very upset, and asked someone to go to the palace to let Concubine Yi help blow the pillow wind. As a result, the emperor seemed to be very determined this time, and it was useless for Concubine Ren Yi to intercede.
Chu Miao even had the heart to die when she heard that the emperor wanted to let her marry the person who was frivolous about her that day. After several searches for life and death, they were all rescued.
Mrs. Chu hugged her and cried: "My poor son, my life is bitter..."
Concubine Yi happened to hear another news from the palace, telling Chu Miao to stop making trouble and wait for her marriage with peace of mind. Otherwise, Chu Miao really committed suicide, and the Chu family would have to bear the title of disrespectful disrespect. Now is the time when Concubine Yi and the Empress are in hot water, and there is absolutely no way to let the Chu family have any more turbulence. So Concubine Yi decided to sacrifice her younger sister. Anyway, Chu Miao is now notorious in Shengjing, and the Minister of Rites has also withdrawn from her relatives. It is not feasible to marry a family with the highest family status. If she can marry into the Shi family , is not a bad choice either.
Concubine Yi was already like this, Chu Miao couldn't even die, and it was even more painful to live. She washed her face in tears all day long, and everyone was a little haggard. The girl who used to be arrogant and bright in the past did not dare to lift her head when she picked up Meng Eqi.
Meng Eqi listened to Bai Gao's situation in the capital like a joke, and she had some doubts in her heart. For example, that day Chu Miao brought two maids, but when she was found, the maids disappeared. And Shi Yuxi, wasn't he dragged down by Sheng Jiayan to find someone to treat his eye injury? Why did she end up being locked up with Chu Miao and do such a stupid thing
Unless, these things are indicated by Sheng Jiayan behind the scenes...
Meng Qiqi guessed right. The initiator of this incident, Sheng Jiayan, was sitting in Fengyuelou toasting with the third prince and laughing about this incident.
The third prince, Xie Yuan, was very happy because he was able to hit the second prince, so he raised his glass to Sheng Jiayan again: "Brother Sheng, please accept me. I can't live in peace. Usually, the old man, Taifu, helps my second brother a lot in the court, and the Dali Siqing is relying on Concubine Yi not to take this prince seriously, and now he has such a bad anger, I'm really happy!"
Sheng Jiayan responded with a light smile: "If this can be done, it will depend on your connections, Your Highness. With His Highness' intelligence, we can successfully lead the Second Prince to Baihua Lake. Sheng has only made a small contribution, but His Highness is the real power. you."
The third prince was very useful, and laughed a few times: "Come on, Brother Sheng, in order to celebrate our victory in the first battle, we must not be drunk or return today!"
However, Sheng Jiayan put down the glass: "His Royal Highness forgives his sins, and Sheng promised my sister to go back early today to teach her calligraphy. If you go back full of alcohol, I'm afraid she will be chased and talked about."
The third prince raised his eyebrows slightly, and his arrogant eyebrows showed a bit of clarity: "You Laiyi? Haha, okay, Laiyi's temper is hot and arrogant. We usually let her in the palace, I am very I understand your situation. Since that's the case, you should go back first, and I can't afford to be blamed."
Sheng Jiayan didn't refuse, got up and handed over: "She's leaving."
The third prince waved his hand and allowed him to retire.
As soon as Sheng Jiayan came out of Fengyuelou, A Rong got down from the carriage parked on the side. Putting on his black cloak for Sheng Jiayan, and lifting the car curtain for Sheng Jiayan, and watching him bend in, did A Rong send someone to set off back to Meng Mansion.
After they left, a figure flashed by Fengyuelou.
Sheng Jiayan in the carriage had a faint smell of alcohol all over his body. He narrowed his eyes slightly and made a half-drunk gesture. A Rong bowed his knees and offered hot tea: "Master, the second prince is not easy to deal with, and the third prince is by no means good. As long as the second prince thinks about the matter on the painting boat, he can figure out that you are behind the scenes for the third prince. With our current strength, it is still difficult to fight against the second prince. And if something happens, the third prince may not be willing to help us. Young master, this time, it is too early to take action."
Sheng Jiayan grabbed the tea cup with his articulated fingers, shaking it slowly but not drinking it: "The second prince is surrounded by talents, and even a master Shi was a big tree behind him that could not be shaken. And the third prince Xie On the contrary, there are very few people under his control, and the third prince is more controllable than the second prince. Even though the third prince is always smiling, in fact he is very wary. If I want to win his trust, I must What to do. It will be a matter of time before the second prince will be hated. Since it can be earlier, it is not too late."
"Then the young master used the Chu family to deal with the Shi family, because of the impeachment of the Sheng family army, or because of Princess Laiyi?"
Sheng Jiayan sipped the tea without saying a word, and after a long while raised a pair of icy brows, his eyes were sharp: "Maybe you have both, because the two are not in conflict, right?"
A Rong bowed his head and stopped talking.
Sheng Jiayan glanced coldly at A Rong, then closed his eyes to rest.
In this case, he admitted that he shot very early. According to the past, he will endure for a while longer. But if he doesn't act again, as Meng Eqi grows up, she will sooner or later be accused of marrying someone else. He could wait, but Meng Eqi couldn't.
Since she is going to be accused of marriage, then others can, why can't he
Sheng Jiayan knew exactly what he wanted, and he wanted to rehabilitate the Sheng family army. At the same time, he also wanted Meng Qiqi.
This time he targeted Chu Miao because he had promised Meng Eqi that she wanted the Chu family to repay the debts with blood, and Sheng Jiayan would do it for her.
In Sheng Jiayan's plan, this is how he should protect Meng Qiqi. When Meng Eqi wanted to kill, he would hand over the knife. When Meng Eqi was tired, he could wrap her in his arms. As long as she hates anyone, Sheng Jiayan can kill for her regardless of the consequences. But there is only one thing Sheng Jiayan can't do. If she wants to marry someone else, he can't give her up.
Even if she made her hate him, he would tie Meng Eqi by his side.
He dreamed that Meng Eqi was his own.
…
Late at night, in the Second Prince's Mansion.
There was a sharp cracking sound of the teacup.
Xie Yin took off his gentle and refined appearance in the daytime, and his face was full of anger. He gritted his teeth: "Sheng Jiayan, what a Sheng Jiayan! A mere remnant of a traitor to the party dares to clamor with this prince and count on my Xie Yin's head. Come on, it seems that he thinks he has a long life!"
The servant who came to spread the word stood aside with his head shrunk, and asked eagerly, "Then what is your Highness going to do with this Sheng Jiayan?"
Xie Yin sneered, his eyes stained with killing intent: "Naturally, I will send him to see King Yama early!"
It was he who looked at this Sheng Jiayan. I only knew that he was quite talented, but I didn't expect that he was thinking about himself like this for his third brother. If Sheng Jiayan was allowed to sit on the throne, would Xie Yin still have a place in the court in the future? ! Wouldn't it be completely suppressed by the party of the three princes!
Sheng Jiayan is very vigilant, but as long as he is a person, he will have weaknesses. With a weakness, he can become vulnerable.
So what is Sheng Jiayan's weakness
Xie Yin frowned and thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly his eyes suddenly lit up, and a cold smile appeared on his face—
Laiyi, you are so useful.
…
Meng Qiqi didn't know why, since the boat painting, Rong Heng came to Meng Mansion to find her more and more often. At first, they quietly sent people to deliver all kinds of Beiyan's novelties, and then they simply came to visit.
The frequency was as frequent as once a day, not only Meng Qiqi was annoyed, but even the old lady Meng was not used to Rong Heng's diligent appearance.
So Mrs. Meng called Meng Qiqi to him and instructed: "Qiqi, if you don't care about this prince of Beiyan, just get to know him. Otherwise, if he comes here like this, it will be very difficult to spread the word. Nice."
Meng Qiqi agreed, and because of Rong Heng's repeated harassment, Sheng Jiayan was extremely dissatisfied.
So one time Rong Heng came again, and Meng Eqi decided to find him to clarify the matter.
