"how is this possible?"
Tu Pingjun questioned Father Xuanzhao, Fu Donghai, in shock.
Fu Donghai glanced at her contemptuously, he was the father-in-law beside the emperor, how dare a little daughter-in-law dare to question him
He ignored Tu Pingyun and brought Tu Shangshu into the palace.
Tu Shangshu knelt on the ground, confused, not sure what happened.
The emperor was tired, and an emperor even opened his mouth to remind the minister what happened.
The emperor asked: "Tu Shangshu, the crown prince said that he had a private meeting with the crown prince with your help before marriage, and took out the jade pendant of the Tu family's daughter, is there such a thing?"
"You're wronged, Your Majesty." Tu Shangshu kowtowed, "I don't know anything about these things."
Tu Shangshu's heart was broken.
He is completely stunned now, he just thinks this prince is really cruel.
Deliberately saying the rendezvous is clearly trying to justify their accusation of cheating the king.
"Tu Shangshu, why did you turn your back on the account?" Lu Ze said innocently and excitedly: "If you didn't release the water in the backyard of this rank officer, how could I have a tryst with Shengsheng, and how could I get the heirloom? A female jade pendant?"
A mess, a mess!
Tu Shangshu wiped away his sweat, and he was indeed the one who let the prince and Tu Pingjun meet late at night to develop their relationship.
But... for the sake of confidentiality, he left no witnesses!
And what can he say now
The prince said that it was Tu Sheng who had a tryst with him. What reason does the prince have to lie
Even if he said now that it was not Tu Sheng but Tu Pingyun that he indulged in private clubs, who would believe it
Now, if he says that Tu Sheng is not a direct daughter, he is deliberately deceiving the crown prince, with ulterior motives.
If he said that Tu Sheng was the direct daughter, he would deliberately deceive the emperor and let the dumb girl with congenital disabilities marry into the royal family.
Everything is a big sin.
Tu Shangshu was sweating like rain, and he really didn't know what to do.
He opened his mouth and said after a long time, "It's Tu Sheng himself..."
"Tu Shangshu, let's think about it later." Lu Ze twitched the corners of his mouth, "Is it a child's play to guard the residence of the first-rank officials? Shengsheng and I did not only date once."
When you get married, you can say that the people in the house are messy, something goes wrong, and they are usually not discovered several times. Do you really think others are blind
In any case, the charge of condoning her daughter to seduce the prince is inevitable.
Tu Shangshu trembled slightly, and kowtowed: "This minister is convicted, please punish the emperor."
Convicted, but did not say which sin it was.
This is to leave room for the emperor to choose for him.
It is also deceitful enough.
After a long time, the emperor said solemnly: "Tu Ruhai, you concealed the concubine's congenital disability and deceived me and the prince. Do you know the guilt?"
"The minister is guilty."
"Looking at you for being a companion since you were a child and for your hard work for more than 20 years, I will spare you this time, demoting you to three levels, and I will not be an example."
"Your Majesty." Concubine Qi asked very puzzled: "It's just a matter of being demoted to the third level for such a serious crime?"
"Concubine Qi, the harem is not allowed to do politics."
The emperor gave her a cold look, then looked at Lu Ze, "As for you know that the daughter of the Tu family is a dumb girl..."
"Father." Lu Ze grabbed Tu Sheng's hand and said, "My son, I like Sheng Sheng very much. Forget it."
"I haven't told you yet!" the emperor said angrily: "I am addicted to beauty, I don't know what it is. How can she be a princess with a dumb girl? You know she is disabled, yet you dare to ask me to marry her, you know crime."
The emperor was so angry that Tu Sheng was about to kneel.
She lives in the back house all the year round, and her mother is unloved, no one teaches her, and she doesn't understand many things.
But the wrath of the Son of Heaven still understands.
Lu Ze held her and smiled lightly: "My son is convicted, but my son likes her, what should I do? Father, why don't you abolish my son, and send my son to some remote frontier to make peace with her? Sheng Sheng live our little days."
"Damn things!"
The emperor was furious, "You want to be mad at me, don't you?"
Concubine Qi and Tu Shangshu also stared at Lu Ze with wide eyes.
Is this guy really crazy
Especially Tu Shangshu, he originally thought that the prince was instructed by a high-ranking person, and he was doing a good trick to draw wages from the bottom of the pot, and he would take care of the plan, but now he sees, where is the high-ranking person, this prince is clearly obsessed with sex, crazy!
Tu Sheng also kept pulling Lu Ze, she couldn't speak, and she was dying of anxiety.
Lu Ze lowered his voice and said in her ear, "Marry your husband."
But…
"Marry and follow your husband."
Lu Ze squeezed her hard, and she had to listen to him.
Lu Ze said with a smile: "Father, you don't waste your ministers, and the ministers please get rid of the crown prince and become an idle king. How about you? My ministers, one did not give or take bribes, two did not commit crimes, and three did not deceive the king. Forget it, I just want to live and live with my daughter-in-law, right?"
"Niezi, the position of the prince is something you can do if you want, and don't do it if you don't want to!"
"Father, my son, remember that you love your mother very much, and you have to worship and talk to her every year on the festival day. It's also because you take care of your mother and refuse to appoint another queen. It's all self-willed? How can you be affectionate, to me? Is this not going to work?"
"Fu Donghai!"
Can't listen to it at all!
This villain!
The emperor was angry with a headache and a pain in his chest, and he said angrily: "Pass the decree, give this wicked son to me and imprison the prince's mansion, and think about it behind closed doors. You are not allowed to go out without my order!"
Lu Ze and Tu Sheng were taken away.
The steps are very happy.
The emperor's head hurt even more.
"Your Majesty, calm down, the prince is young and impulsive, teach slowly and teach slowly." Concubine Qi quickly comforted, but she said so, but she was very happy with the news that Lu Ze was crazy.
"I..."
The emperor wants to scold, I will destroy him sooner or later!
But he swallowed the words alive again.
Now in the imperial court, Concubine Qi's family is too powerful, and the fourth prince is growing. Although the crown prince is not a success, the Chen family, the mother of the first queen, does not fight, but the foundation of the family is there and it is difficult to shake.
Only the woman he loves most has no foundation.
The Sixth Prince is neither a direct descendant nor an elder.
If the crown prince is not used to hold down the fourth prince, the fourth prince will immediately ascend to the throne as soon as the crown prince is abandoned.
Why is it so difficult for him to have a son he likes
The prince contradicted the emperor, asked himself to depose the crown prince, and the news of being imprisoned in the prince's mansion soon spread.
The fourth prince also handed over the sign to enter the palace. Concubine Qi talked about the scene where Lu Ze was crazy, oh ho ho ho ho, and it was a radiant smile.
"Mother concubine, dignified, dignified."
"Dignified ass." Concubine Qi stood up and put her hands on her hips, "I will pretend to be your mother-in-law every day, and I finally return to the palace. I don't need to pretend to that dead old man. There are no outsiders here, so I can't relax."
Fourth Prince: "..."
If the royal father knew that you were calling him a dead old man behind his back, it would not only be punishing the nine clans, I am afraid that the graves of the ancestors would have to be dug.
The fourth prince returned to his house, hugged his little wife from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, "Qingqing, I'll be old in the future, don't scold me for immortality."
Meng Qing nodded helplessly and said dotingly, "Okay."
What's wrong with this man.
That's all, my man, let's coax him.
The Sixth Prince also entered the Tu Mansion and chatted for a long time.
Then, the three fell silent again.
Especially Tu Pingyun, she has long regarded the prince as a minister under her skirt, but now the prince doesn't even want the throne for a concubine mute
The sixth prince also began to doubt the value of Tu Pingyun.
Now the two of them have just met, but because of their mutual interests, Tu Pingyun's uniqueness has made him interested, and it has not been deeply rooted in his previous life a few years later.
Tu Pingyun gritted her teeth, she felt the sixth prince's suspicion of her.
She didn't believe that Lu Ze just forgot her like that!
She will prove her worth!
The people outside were busy, and the Prince's Mansion was calm.
No, it's not peaceful either.
After all, the prince invited a theatre troupe to sing in the mansion.
The emperor only ordered to close the door and think about it, and the prince was not allowed to enter and exit, but he did not say that others were not allowed to enter and exit.
Lu Ze knew what the emperor meant, but he just left a back door for some people with intentions.
Now it's time to give him a chance.
Lu Ze took Tu Sheng and watched the play while eating melon seeds, feeling at ease.
Especially as he was the prince, there were a lot of people to serve. The maid servants peeled off the melon seeds and put Tu Sheng in his mouth. He didn't even have to move his hands.
When the emperor heard the news of the dark guard's report, his head hurt even more.
After seven days, everyone finally couldn't sit still.
Lu Ze sent someone to secretly notify his mother's family, the Chen family, to wait and see what happened.
So there was no movement from the Chen family.
The Fourth Prince was the first person to step into the Prince's Mansion.
At this time, Lu Ze was fighting the horse and killing the Quartet.
Fourth Prince: "..."
Suddenly I felt that the prince and his mother had the same purpose.
Seeing the fourth prince, Lu Ze kicked Jiang Shang, the lieutenant guarding the Prince's Mansion, "You've lost all your money, why don't you leave?"
"His Royal Highness, this is the money that will be kept for marrying a daughter-in-law at the end of the day."
"Don't worry, this prince..."
"His Royal Highness, do you want to marry me a wife?"
"This prince sees that you will never be able to marry your daughter-in-law for the rest of your life."
Poor little Jiang Shang: "The last general should go."
Lu Ze pointed to Kong's position, "Fourth brother, come here, three missing one, come four circles."
The fourth prince sat down silently, began to shuffle the cards, stood up, nodded, quite good.
As a result, it was not his turn to fight.
Lu Ze went down four at a time, and Tu Sheng was dumbfounded.
Fourth Prince: "..."
It turns out that this is a couple scam.
The fourth prince rubbed his beating temples and said, "Brother, the royal father was just angry with you for a while, you go and apologize, I believe the royal father will let you out soon."
"Don't talk nonsense, if you win, this prince will go and apologize to the emperor."
"Brother, be more serious."
Just as he was talking, the sixth prince also came, Lu Ze's eyes lit up, he let go of the housekeeper who had lost the money, and let the sixth prince sit down, "Eldest sixth, come and accompany your eldest brother and fourth brother for a few laps."
"Okay." The sixth prince has always had an unruly image to the outside world, so he immediately sat down.
After three laps, the silver note in front of Tu Sheng was already an inch thick.
The corner of the sixth prince's mouth twitched, "Prince Concubine is so lucky."
Tu Sheng smiled. Anyway, she was dumb and couldn't speak. The prince said that she was only responsible for laughing and counting money.
"Brother, I heard that someone has already started to write a letter to cancel you, you have to cheer up." The sixth prince said.
"Dongfeng." Lu Ze drew a card, "What is there to cheer up, this prince wants to see who dares to abolish me without the royal father's order."
"Seven rules." The fourth prince looked at Lu Ze inquiringly, "I heard that General Huwei is back... This time, General Huwei beheaded the three enemy generals, but he did a great job. If he pleads for mercy in front of the emperor..."
The Tiger General Chen Yong, born with supernatural powers, followed his father to the battlefield at the age of eleven, and is fourteen years old this year.
It is the mother clan of the original body, and the most promising one of the younger generation of the Chen family.
After returning from this meritorious service, if he really pleads with the emperor, according to the emperor's dislike of dethroning the crown prince, he would really let him go down the slope and let him go.
How can this work!
The emperor's idea was to sit on the mountain and watch him fight with the fourth prince. His idea was to step back and wait until the world was settled, and the sixth prince would be killed.
Lu Ze shook his head firmly, "I've had a good life today, don't worry."
Tu Sheng groaned again at the right time.
The fourth prince's face sank, "Big brother, little brother has something to do, let's go first."
"Sign the IOU first." Lu Ze said calmly.
The fourth and sixth princes were forced to sign huge IOUs.
As soon as they came out of the Prince's Mansion, the two spit at the door, what kind of thing, they won tens of thousands of taels of silver in a few laps.
Robbery too!
After the fourth and sixth princes, Lu Ze killed the Quartet again, and every visiting official he killed was heavily indebted.
The Prince's Mansion suddenly became the cleanest place in the entire capital, and no one dared to come.
Lu Ze and Tu Sheng's hands were soft when they counted the silver.
At this time, General Huwei returned.
In the courtroom, the emperor was waiting for General Huwei to intercede, and the fourth and sixth princes were also waiting.
The fourth prince wanted to mobilize officials to deal with Chen Yong's crime, and the sixth prince wanted to use Chen Yong to release the prince, otherwise the fourth prince's family would be the only one in the court, and he would be exposed sooner or later.
As a result, Chen Yong was gone after receiving the reward in black armor.
The steps that the emperor had been waiting for for a long time are gone.
That night, the head wind struck again.
The fourth prince visited Concubine Qi again, and after a moment of silence, Concubine Qi said, "Prince is crazy."
"Mother concubine, you never thought that the prince might not want the throne?"
"A lunatic doesn't want the throne."
Yep, chatting again.
"But..." The fourth prince's eyes narrowed, "Mother concubine, in the court hall today, the sons and ministers are watching the prince's party, and there is a faint aura of respecting the sixth brother."
"You said that Concubine Xian, the shrewd and coquettish little goblin, was born to that trash son who only knows how to linger in the land of fireworks all day?"
"Mother, be dignified."
"No one here."
The fourth prince was also helpless, "Mother concubine, in terms of personality, Erchen thinks that you and the prince's eldest brother are the mother and son."
"That little bastard's hoof is very sullen. She stays behind all day and does not go out to worship Buddha and burn incense. I always think your mother-in-law is cursing our mother and son. If you have arrogance, I will kill her!"
"Mother, pay attention to your decency."
"I've been pretending to be your mother-in-law for a whole day, can't you relax?"
Concubine Qi stood up, twisted her waist, and ripped off the hairpin on her head, "It's so heavy, I want to be exhausted."
As he was talking, the eunuch outside the door shouted: "The emperor is here!"
Oh wow!
The fourth prince gloated to look at Concubine Qi, only to see Concubine Qi fluttering her hair charmingly, and stood up dignifiedly, "My concubine welcomes Your Majesty."
"Aifei, get up."
The emperor helped Concubine Qi up and looked at the fourth prince, "The fourth is also here."
"I heard that my mother is a little uncomfortable recently, so Erchen came to visit."
"Have filial piety."
Concubine Qi gently supported the emperor to sit down with a gentle smile, "Your Majesty, try this tea. This dew was collected by the concubine in the morning when she woke up a few days ago, and she took the point on the tip of a bamboo leaf."
The fourth prince thought of the dew tea that his mother-in-law had drank, and was curious where he got this cup.
The emperor took two sips, "It is indeed sweeter."
Sure enough, he was old, his tongue was dull, and he couldn't even drink this old old water.
Concubine Qi complained in disgust in her heart.
The emperor put down the teacup and said, "It will be Empress Dowager Minzhao's birthday soon. How is Concubine Ai preparing?"
Empress Dowager Min Zhao, that insidious and cunning old thing has closed the palace gate for several years, is she still alive
I haven't seen you in the past to say hello, and hello. Now you remember your birthday
Concubine Qi's heart is wild, but her face is virtuous and gentle, "Empress Dowager Min Zhao hasn't held a birthday banquet for a long time, and the concubine will definitely supervise her."
"Well." Concubine Qi followed his words very well aware of current affairs, which made the emperor very useful, he said: "The queen mother has not seen the younger generation for a long time, and when the time comes, I will call everyone up. When people are old, they all like children. . Call the prince as well."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor talked to Concubine Qi for a while and left.
When the emperor left, Qi Concubine Erlang crossed his legs, "It seems that the prince is still very favored, there are no steps, and the immortal still finds the steps to let him go down."
The fourth prince did not answer.
The character of the mother-in-law is relatively simple.
He is different.
Even if it is to arrange a birthday banquet as an excuse to enlarge brother, do you need to be in such a hurry
Also, it was just a coincidence that he said in front of him that he put eye drops on him and was more afraid of the prince
"Concubine Mother, Concubine Xian still has to explore."
"good."
Soon, the news that Empress Dowager Min Zhao was going to hold a birthday banquet came out, and the crown prince was also on the list of birthday celebrations. Naturally, the confinement was lifted.
So, Lu Ze took Tu Sheng and swaggered back to his parents' house.
Tu Fu.
Although Tu Shangshu was downgraded by three levels in a row, he still temporarily took the post of Shangshu until the new Shangshu took office. It has to be said that the emperor took great pains to prevent the fourth prince from ascending the throne.
The carriage stopped in front of Tu's house.
Lu Ze came down first, then stretched out his hand to help Tu Sheng down, and the Tu family knelt down at the door to greet him.
After Lu Ze asked everyone to get up, Tu Shangshu asked respectfully, "Is there something wrong with His Royal Highness coming this time?"
"Oh." Lu Ze held Tu Sheng and smiled: "She and I were locked up by the father as soon as we got married. We didn't return to the door for three dynasties, so I'll make it up this time."
"Prince is very polite."
Lu Ze took Tu Sheng and just walked up, and said as if remembering something: "I heard Sheng Sheng say that she is the eldest daughter, and there are three younger sisters below. She has a good relationship on weekdays, but are you there?"
The eldest daughter is Tu Pingyun, and the three younger sisters are Tu Yunfu, Tu Anle, and Tu Sheng.
Now Tu Sheng has taken the identity of Tu Pingjun's eldest daughter and direct daughter, and naturally she has grown older.
Naturally, Tu Pingyun became Tu Sheng, the youngest daughter of the Tu family.
Now, when the prince wants to see his three younger sisters, Tu Pingjun must bow down to his younger sister when he comes out, and call her sister.
How did Tu Pingyun suffer from this
When Lu Ze asked questions, Tu Yunfu and Tu Anle responded, and obediently called Tu Sheng as sister.
Tu Pingjun knelt on the ground, his nails digging into the flesh fiercely.
She is a direct daughter, inexplicably demoted to a prostitute, and now she has to bow down to someone she looked down on before, calling her sister
What a shame!
"And one more?" Lu Ze asked casually, but the threat in his tone was very strong.
Tu Shangshu quickly pulled Tu Pingyun over, "His Royal Highness, this is the youngest daughter of the minister, Tu Ping... Tu Sheng."
"Really?" Lu Ze looked down at Tu Pingyun, who still maintained the arrogant side of a talented woman.
And this is also the original side of her that I liked the most.
The woman who raised her head proudly in front of everyone turned into spring water only in front of him.
Tu Pingjun raised his head and looked at Lu Ze coldly, with some resentment in it.
He clearly said that he loved her, but now he is holding someone else's hand and humiliating her.
So heartless~
Lu Ze hooked his lips, "Tu Sheng is a bad name. This prince just named the princess Sheng Sheng. I think you should call it Tu Sanshui."
What is the name of Sanshui
So ugly.
Tu Pingjun looked at Lu Ze's eyes with more resentment and hatred. She slowly bent over and said, "Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your name, be good."
He gave Tu Pingyun a name, and with Tu Shangshu leading the way, the group came to the reception hall.
And Tu Pingjun was helped up from the ground by Mrs. Tu, she scolded: "You are too impatient, look at what you have done just now, and flirt with His Royal Highness, which man would like it
His Royal Highness is a person who is greedy for beauty, and Tu Sheng is just relying on the matter between the bed and the bed, and now the prince is coaxed into confusion. Since the prince could have affection for you in the past, you bowed your head and took the initiative to show affection, can he not remember his old affection? "
Madam Tu didn't know the plot between Tu Pingyun and the sixth prince, and persuaded: "I don't think His Royal Highness has touched you at all, or else I wouldn't embarrass you alone.
He probably heard the gossip between you and the fourth prince, and that little bitch Tu Sheng blew something that made him hate you. This woman is not afraid that men will hate her, but she is afraid that he will not care about her. Find a chance to have a good talk with His Royal Highness, Tu Sheng, a little hoof, is a good fruit to eat. "
Tu Pingjun also knew that she had just lost her sense, but she couldn't swallow it.
Obviously she's a scumbag, but she can't help him now!
Tu Pingyun took a deep breath and tried to keep calm, "Mother, I see."
Lu Ze and Tu Shangshu chatted a few more words in the garden and looked at Tu Sheng, "Sheng Sheng, let's go to your former yard to have a look."
Tu Sheng nodded and pulled Lu Ze to the yard where she once lived
Tu Shangshu hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness, it's noon, eat first, and after dinner, it's too late to go again."
"Okay." Lu Ze said meaningfully: "After dinner, Tu Shangshu should be ready."
The yard where Tu Sheng lived was dilapidated and covered with small weeds.
Although everyone knows the lie of the first daughter, but it is not exposed, it is still necessary to pretend.
Otherwise, it would be another disaster if the crime of treating the Crown Princess harshly came to the fore.
Tu Shangshu didn't dare, but he knew in his heart that Lu Ze was here to support Tu Sheng and the woman who lived in the courtyard.
Tu Sheng, the youngest daughter, didn't help his father in front of the emperor that day, and she won't help now.
After appeasing Lu Ze, Tu Shangshu immediately ordered someone to clean up the yard.
