The Times Spent in Pretense

Chapter 59: Wenqu Star Temple

Views:

For Emperor Changlong, he didn't care who the deputy commander was, but he also understood that Hua Yingting had good intentions.

It was Hua Yingting who expressed his loyalty to him by letting King Kang be the deputy commander. In order to reassure Hua Yingting, he thought about it over and over again and agreed to Hua Yingting's suggestion.

As for why he thought about it again and again, it wasn't because he had any opinion on Hua Yingting, but Kang Wang was a person who could not find any shortcomings, but also could not find any advantages.

The late emperor didn't have many heirs before he was alive, and after he was addicted to the demon concubine, he didn't care about his children at all. King Kang is a father who doesn't care, and his mother died early. If it wasn't for the good-hearted Queen Mother who took care of him from time to time, King Kang might have died in the palace long ago.

The unhappy court life in his childhood made King Kang a submissive character. He squatted peacefully in the capital all these years, and was very afraid of things. In the past two years, I finally learned how to circle a little bit of land from others, and when I encountered the prince cleaning up corrupt officials, he was so frightened that he hurriedly scattered the land and ran to him overnight to plead guilty.

What troubled Emperor Changlong the most was that King Kang had a soft personality, and the concubine he married was also fearful.

Like the temperament of King Kang's family, if you meet an emperor who is a little less patient, life in the capital will not be easy.

On the same day, Emperor Changlong sent the transfer order signed by himself to the King Kang Mansion, and the entire King Kang Mansion panicked.

"How can the emperor let me be the deputy commander?" King Kang held the order, his face turned pale with fright, "I can't do it, I can't do it."

He has never done anything in his life, whether to be famous, or to have infinite beauty.

"Father, this is the transfer order issued by Your Majesty himself." An Ning County Master with a round face leaned over to look at the transfer order, "If you don't go, will it make His Majesty unhappy?"

Prince Kang nodded and said, "Sister is right. Father, Your Majesty wants you to do something. If you don't do it, what will happen to you?"

"I don't know how to arrange troops, and I don't know how to dispatch troops. I can't even draw the bow. What can I do as a deputy commander?" Kang Wang held his head in pain, thinking of the jokes he might make after taking office, He felt like he was about to suffocate, "Who is the commander?"

"General Hua Yingting."

King Kang was even more desperate. A useless scrap like him has no face to be the deputy commander of the general. This is simply a shame.

"I've seen General Hua's daughter, and she looks very good-looking." An Ning has long been accustomed to her father's character who doesn't want to do anything, and she said with great interest, "On the day of the ceremony, Fushou County Master was standing next to me. She stood up and nearly fell to the ground, when her daughter reached out to help her."

"Unfortunately, Princess Jiamin doesn't seem to have a good relationship with her. My daughter didn't dare to make her unhappy, so she didn't say a few words to Princess Fushou." Princess Anning regretted it a little, "If I had known that Father, you would be spending money As the general's subordinates do things, I should muster up the courage to get close to her."

"Ah..." King Kang glanced at his daughter regretfully, then turned to discuss with the princess what gift to give the Hua family.

He doesn't know anything, it's absolutely right to send some gifts to please the peak first.

As members of the royal family, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with trying to please a foreign minister.

The Hua family couldn't help laughing when they received the gift from Kang Wangfu. Looking at the tense servants in Prince Kang's Mansion, it was as if they would faint on the spot if they didn't accept these gifts.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord, I got some wine from the outer world at the border. Please bring it to the Lord for me." Hua Yingting didn't expect King Kang's courage to be so small, so he prepared a gift in return for the servants of Huafu. I went to Kang Wangfu with the servants of the palace.

Unexpectedly, King Kang was so worried that he didn't sleep all night because of his return.

General Hua accepted his gift and returned his gift. Is he happy or unhappy

At this time, King Kang was so sad that he couldn't sleep, but his half-sister Shun An was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

You can't blame her for being impetuous. In fact, she has been at a loss almost every time she has fought with Leyang for so many years. It was rare that she had the upper hand this time, and she could not wait to take Yao Consort and talk about it for three days and three nights.

Consort Yao was unable to sleep due to Shun'an's tossing and turning, so she sat up and said helplessly, "Princess, you have been happy for two days."

"Don't say two days, I can be happy for two months." Princess Shun'an sat up holding the quilt, "Didn't you see Leyang's ugly face and pretended to leave, thinking that the prince wanted to keep her? , the result is not self-inflicted."

"Didn't you hate the prince before?" Yao Consort stood up and poured her a glass of warm water, "Why are you willing to praise him now?"

"I will praise anyone who can embarrass Leyang." Princess Shun'an took a sip of water from Yao's concubine's hand, "It's not surprising that Leyang obviously wants to win over the prince, but the prince is against her. More and more alienation, what's the point?"

"What else could be the reason, the prince doesn't want to marry her daughter." Yao Concubine put the cup back on the table, "Don't think about this kind of thing blindly, go to bed earlier."

Anyway, with your brain, you can't figure out anything.

"How can it be so simple, there should be other reasons." Shun An yawned, "Think about it carefully, the prince has been lukewarm to Leyang all these years, but Leyang keeps trying to get in front of the prince."

"If you had understood this earlier, you wouldn't have to be so stiff with the Crown Prince." Seeing that she would not sleep, Yao Consort took a robe and draped it over her, "Your Majesty will definitely know about this, if your Majesty and The queen mother asked, what should you do?"

"What I said to the prince before, when I got to the emperor's brother, I still said the same." Shun An said, "Your Majesty favors the prince, maybe the prince has already told the emperor about this matter, if the words are different, it will be troublesome. "

"You, the next time you want to beat someone, you should also call me, what if you suffer a loss." Yao Consort said, "Fortunately, the Fushou County Master is here this time, otherwise that slut in Leyang will have to make plans again. is you."

One of the tips to promote a couple's love life is to scold her most hated person with your partner. Consort Yao knows this well.

"I knew that Fushou County Master was different from her mother, and I felt more relieved that Jiamin could make this kind of friend." Shun'an looked outside the house and whispered, "In my opinion, the prince is very concerned about Fushou County. The feelings of the Lord are extraordinary."

Yao Consort was a little surprised, and then hurriedly said: "This matter can't be said outside."

Regardless of whether the Crown Prince has any intentions of Fushou County Master or not, with their two identities, His Majesty may not want them to be together.

If the Crown Prince married Fushou County Master, he would have a father-in-law who was in charge of the 30,000 Imperial Guards. If the Crown Prince had any objections, wouldn't it be easy to take away the Emperor's throne

His Majesty is a wise emperor and would never allow such a thing to happen.

The next morning, both the husband and wife got up late. Princess Shun'an had just finished her makeup, when Yao's concubine hurried into the house: "Princess, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are here to announce the decree."

"Your Majesty will give me an imperial decree?" Countless thoughts flashed through Shun'an's mind. Could it be that after the emperor's brother knew about her dispute with Leyang, he didn't want to punish Leyang, so he just rewarded her with something to block her mouth

No wonder Shun An thought so, it was because her relationship with the prince was so bad that His Majesty couldn't stand it any longer.

After setting up the incense case, Princess Shun An barely kept a smiling face to receive the decree. When the officials of the Ministry of Rites read the content of the imperial decree, she suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

Consort Yao quietly pushed her: "Hurry up and thank her."

Princess Shun'an took the imperial decree in a dizzy manner, and looked blankly at Yao's concubine as he sent off the officials of the Ministry of Rites in a noisy manner, then walked to the chair and sat down.

Could it be that she didn't sleep well last night and had auditory hallucinations

The royal brother actually named her the eldest princess

Since he was almost named the eldest princess last time, but failed, Shun An knew that he would never have the chance to be named the eldest princess in his life.

Unexpectedly, she didn't do anything recently, just slapped Le Yang and was banned? !

"Congratulations, Princess, you got what you wanted." Yao Consort smiled and bowed to her.

Shun'an grabbed Yao's concubine's hand and took a deep breath: "Immediately prepare a generous gift and send it to Huafu."

No matter how stupid she is, she knows that her ability to become the eldest princess has something to do with Hua Liuli and the prince. The prince has been scolded by her several times, and she really can't bear to thank the prince.

The left and right princes are interested in Hua Liuli, so she will also transfer the share given to the prince to Hua Liuli.

When Jiamin heard that her mother was named the eldest princess, she excitedly ran from the small courtyard to the main hall. Before she could say "Congratulations, mother", she saw her mother looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Jiamin, you have grown up."

"Huh?" Jiamin looked at her mother blankly, feeling that her brain was not enough.

"I'm old, I'm sensible, and I know how to share my mother's worries." Princess Shun'an took out a thick stack of silver notes from her bosom, "I will spend more time with Fushou County Master in the future, I have what to eat and spend, and I can't feel wronged You have to control your temper well on weekdays. You can't lose your temper at someone just because the Princess Fushou has a gentle personality and treats you well, do you know?"

"Huh??" Jiamin was confused.

"Take it." Princess Shun'an put the silver note in Jiamin's hand, "I usually have to take care of Fushou County Master, understand?"

"Mother, who am I and Hua Liuli your daughter?" Jiamin looked at the silver note in her hand, feeling that the whole world was poisoned by Hua Liuli.

"Silly child, don't think too much, if Hua Liuli was my daughter, I would have brought her home long ago."

Jiamin: "… "

Life is like this, helpless and helpless, and you get used to it.

"The prince actually asked the emperor to appoint Anshun as the eldest princess!" The eldest princess Leyang sneered, "What a prince, what Ben Gong has been good to him these years is to feed the white-eyed wolf."

Knowing that she was not compatible with Shun An, he chose to make Shun An the eldest princess, apparently deliberately making Shun An fight against her.

"Mother, what should we do now?" Xie Yao asked.

"What should I do?" Princess Leyang slowly suppressed the anger in her heart, "Could it be that he is the only prince in the capital?"

Xie Yao's face turned pale: "But mother, I only like the prince's cousin."

"Like it?" Princess Leyang seemed to have heard a joke, "This kind of useless emotion, you should throw it away as soon as possible. Your mission is to be a queen, and it doesn't matter who is sitting on the throne. "

"But… "

"No but." Princess Leyang narrowed her eyes, "Have you forgotten your father's expectations for you?"

Xie Yaoxun wanted to cry: "My daughter didn't forget it."

"It's fine if you don't forget it." Princess Leyang nodded with satisfaction, "Go back to your room and think about it, figure it out as soon as possible, and don't let me down, you know?"

Xie Yao stepped back silently, she stood in the yard, staring blankly at the blooming flowers and trees, her eyes gradually filled with hatred.

If it weren't for Hua Liuli, everything would not have developed as it is now.

The prince will not be so ruthless to her, and she also has the opportunity to marry the prince's cousin.

Why did she come back from the border, it wasn't because she was in poor health, why didn't she die at the border

"I think Wenqu Xing Temple is very spiritual." Hua Liuli said to the prince beside him, "Many candidates have already left Beijing, and there should be no more queues today."

Immediately after the palace exam, Hua Liuli was going to the Wenqu Xing Temple to pray for Hua Changkong, but she did not expect to meet the prince on the way, and the two went to the Wenqu Xing Temple together.

"Why does Your Highness also go to Wenqu Xing Temple?"

"Pray for Wen Quxing's blessing, let us have a few more pillars of talent." The prince said solemnly, "The two of us go to pray together, it will be easier for Wen Quxing to hear, and our wishes will be easier to see."

"It makes sense." Hua Liuli nodded, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, then you are the Son of Heaven. Wen Quxing will bless my brother more because of your face."

The two walked to the door of Wenqu Xing Temple, and Hua Liuli pulled the prince: "Your Highness, look at the person in front of you, do you look like the young lady of the Lin family?"

She remembered that Miss Lin seemed to have said that she didn't believe these things, but she didn't expect to come here secretly.

The prince glanced at it and said lightly, "Gu don't remember."

"Didn't Your Highness see her?"

"Most people in the world are just clouds and smoke." The prince looked at Hua Liuli, "It doesn't matter, so it doesn't matter whether you remember it or not."

Hua Liuli asked curiously, "Who is your Highness's important person?"

"Family, friends, and... the most special confidant, you."

Hua Liuli stared blankly at the prince, she felt that the prince's eyes were like a flame, warm and warm, making her a little afraid to look directly.

She looked away uncomfortably, just as she was about to say something, there were chattering voices behind her.

"Brother, let me tell you, this Wenqu Xing Temple is definitely spiritual. Hua Liuli was here last time..." Yao Wenyin's voice stopped abruptly. She looked at Hua Liuli not far away with a very embarrassed expression.

Knowing that she would be slapped in the face again and again, she shouldn't be mean at the entrance of Wenqu Xing Temple.

Some coincidences are wonderful, but such coincidences as today are unnecessary.

She can't afford to lose such a person.
