MTL - A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination-Chapter 103 Peaceful
Xiao Jingduo raised his eyebrows unexpectedly when he saw the person coming: "It's you?"
The Princess Hejing walked out from the corridor and said with a smile, "I wanted to see Marquis Chengxi, and that's what I did. Marquis Chengxi won't blame me, right?"
"How dare you." Xiao Jingduo said calmly, "I don't know why Hejing County Master specially called me here?"
?"
"...and Princess Jing, we seem to be meeting for the first time."
"Really? I always feel that I have known Chengxi Marquis for a long time." He Jing frowned and glanced at Xiao Jingduo, "I said it all, don't call me Jing County Master and I, call me the County Master."
Xiao Jingduo was silent, in his heart, there was only one county master. If he had known that it was Princess Hejing who was behind the scenes, he would not have followed the palace maid out. Xiao Jingduo took a half step back and said: "Hejing County Master, this place is remote, and it is not appropriate for the minister to stay here, so I will retire first."
"Stop!" He Jing suddenly raised her voice and accelerated two steps to block Xiao Jingduo. "What is Marquis Chengxi talking about, why do you think it's inappropriate? Oh I see, do you want to say that it's inappropriate for us to stay together alone? But the body is not afraid of shadows, if Marquis Chengxi doesn't If you think about it, why do you think it's inappropriate for you to stay with me? I heard that the Marquis of Chengxi hasn't married yet..."
It's really messing around, Xiao Jingduo is very annoyed, he can only say with a cold face: "The bento minister is thinking about the reputation of Hejing County Lord. Hejing County Lord, the Queen Mother Wu should find you already."
"Beautiful reputation?" Princess Hejing seemed to hear something funny, and immediately laughed, "Marquis Chengxi, I'm already married! Moreover, for Princess Princess, What does it mean to be married, I think you should understand?"
Too much. If the relationship with the concubine is harmonious, it is the best, if not, what can the concubine do to the princess?
"Do you think I'm not good?" Seeing that Xiao Jingduo already understood, He Jing leaned on the pillar, looked at him and smiled, "But Princess Manchao, where are you looking? One is to live by guarding the concubine well? There are many people who openly raise people, what is it like me who is willing and willing? However, if it is you, I would be willing to cut off other people for you. "
"Don't stop. Lord Hejing, your beautiful minister has no luck, so please retire first."
He Jing held her hands apart and didn't let Xiao Jingduo go: "Look, you still mind that I'm a married woman. But you think I'm not abiding by women? But why don't you look at other people ? The princess of the whole dynasty, which one doesn't try it?"
Xiao Jingduo couldn't bear these words: "Hejing County Master, the eldest princess is not yet married."
Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wenzong left early, which led to the fact that the position of the female family members was inflated, because the emperor was only nine years old, and there was no princess in the palace now, and the oldest princess was only seventeen years old.
He Jing was caught saying inappropriate words, but he didn't take it seriously: "I'm just making an analogy. Besides, Gan Ning and the other eldest princesses are just unmarried, wait for them themselves It’s not the same when the government is established.”
"The Lord Hejing is careful to say that Gan Ning and the eldest princesses will observe filial piety for His Majesty Wenzong for three years. I'm afraid this is inappropriate for the Lord Hejing."
"Why are you always being picky!" He Jing was annoyed by what he said, "I'm just saying a normal thing, why are you always picking the wrong thing? Why haven't I seen you just now? So true?"
"Hejing County Lord is right, the minister is disrespectful, and I will retire."
"Stop!" He Jing stopped in front of Xiao Jingduo again, and raised an eyebrow at Xiao Jingduo triumphantly, "If you can walk past me, I will let you leave."
This is a trick that Hejing often plays, pulling and pulling between lovers, these are all fun, she is such a delicate beauty standing in front, which man is willing to really leave? Therefore, she usually blocks people with Jingjing, and no one can escape from her hands. Over time, Hejing also becomes confident in her own skills.
Xiao Jingduo sighed and whispered, "Offended."
Hejing County Master stomped his feet in anger and called out several times, but Xiao Jingduo never stopped.
Xiao Jingduo thought it was extremely funny, with the flawed skills of Hejing County Master, where did the confidence come from to stop him?
Xiao Jingduo walked very fast, and disappeared in the corridor in an instant. Princess Hejing never thought that he would be treated like this, and he was really full of anger.
She was angry for a while, comforted herself to come to Japan, and then planned to leave for Wude Hall. Just as she moved, she heard a thin voice from behind.
"Sister, why are you here?"
He Jing turned back and looked very surprised: "Mingtai? Why did you come out?"
Jiang An Wang was quiet for a moment, and sighed: "I was a little drunk, so I came out to wake up. Sister, you should be in the Wude Hall, why are you here? This is the place to entertain men ."
He Jing did not speak, paused for a while, and asked, "How long have you been here?"
"It won't be long." King Jiang An said, "Brother-in-law is also a high-ranking family, can you and brother-in-law live a good life?"
"He can see through his family background, so what else can he do? And even in terms of family background, he is just a son of a noble family. It’s only Rank 7 now.” He Jing was very dissatisfied, “Look at Xin’an’s concubine, he is the son-in-law of the Gongfu, and her father-in-law is still the prime minister in the court! What came to me, and it's so unstoppable?"
"Sister, they are princesses after all..." King Jiang An wanted to persuade again, but he didn't know what he touched, and Princess Hejing's emotions suddenly became excited.
"I was supposed to be a princess too! They stole this from me!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence.
But taking the opportunity to kill his father, and forcing his grandfather to give up the throne to them, is shameless!"
King Jiang An was instilled in power and the way of the emperor since he was a child. This is not a question of sneak attacks. On that day, the King of Qin made a high-profile shock, and they were able to launch a palace change and win the palace change, which in itself is a proof of strength. What's more, their father was not really unprepared. Even if Prince Min had no troops, what about his grandfather?
To be able to have the current glory is all because of what we have stolen! Rong Ke is only a grandchild of □□, and in the future, he will be crowned as the county lord at most. How can he become the county lord, the princess, and now he has become the regent princess! "
But it doesn't matter if it's not. Prince Jiang An has such a weak temperament. In the future, when things are done, he will also be in control. Like Jing, he can be the regent princess.
To be honest, if it weren't for Rong Ke, He Jing would never have thought about it, it turns out that a woman can still do such a step. With the body of a princess in charge of the whole dynasty, no one cares what she wants to do, this kind of life is what she wants!
Lang two juniors, why can sit in that position?"
"But..." King Jiang An was a little timid, "We are helpless, and my father's old department has almost been washed away. What else can we do?"
"We have a grandmother!" He Jing looked at King Jiang An tightly, "Grandmother is the person with the highest status in the whole palace, so she is qualified to decide the real emperor, isn't she?"
King Jiangxia shook his head: "They have proclaimed the world, officially ascended the throne, and everything has been settled. Even if we come from an orthodox background, we are now committing troubles."
"They are indeed orthodox now." He Jing smiled coldly, "But what if Rong Ke died?"
The snow outside the eaves kept falling, burying the entire courtyard white.
After a long time, King Jiangxia's voice sounded, and she trembled a little: "What did you say?"
"Rong Ke is too difficult to deal with, nothing can be done without her. Only when she dies, we can control the little emperor. At that time, let the grandmother give the order to carry the little emperor to the Hall of Wude for support. , how to support it, whether it can support it, doesn’t it all depend on our thoughts? When Wenzong’s lineage is completely cut off, and with the support of our grandmother, we will be the orthodox heirs, and in this way, we will be regarded as returning to the original owner.”
"This...this is too bold, can we succeed?" King Jiang An was very skeptical. Since Rong Ke was in power, assassinations of all sizes in the palace have never stopped, but they have not seen Is the little emperor still alive and well? King Jiang An really doubted that if they couldn't even get Rong Lang, how could they do to Rong Ke himself?
"The horse stumbles, and the man stumbles." He Jing will take over the previous failures in one sentence. "So I'm recruiting other capable officials now for your sake. With the support of these people, you will be able to ascend to the throne smoothly in the future. We can't make people wedding clothes."
King Jiang An was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Assassinating Rong Ke is not an easy task, what do you want to do?"
…
In the Wude Hall, the Queen Mother Wu looked around and wondered: "Where is Hejing? She just told me to go out to change, why hasn't she come back yet?"
"It's snowing heavily outside, maybe the county master is up to enjoy the snow."
The Empress Dowager Wu also glanced out, half lowered her eyes, nodded and said nothing. Although the Empress Dowager Wu ignored her, Wu Junru was already flattered. This is the Empress Dowager, and it is already extremely decent to be able to talk to her.
Although Empress Dowager Wu is also surnamed Wu, she has nothing to do with Wu Junru. Empress Dowager Wu's family was also a powerful family in Longxi, who started as a warlord, but Wu Junru was born in the Wu family in Qinghe, a small family affiliated to the Cui family.
Seeing that Wu Junru and the Empress Dowager were talking, many people looked at Wu Junru. Empress Dowager Cui glanced here and straightened up and said, "Mother, I'm a little suffocated. Let's go outside first to get some air."
The Queen Mother Wu closed her eyes and said, "Go."
The wives all stood up and saluted Empress Dowager Cui, and a wise man said: "If Empress Dowager Cui does not give up, won't the court lady accompany the empress dowager to go out to enjoy the snow?"
"No need." Empress Dowager Cui smiled, "You are dressed so brightly, it will be bad if you are frozen."
Empress Dowager Cui glanced around and said to Wu Junru, "You're well-dressed, so go out with Ai's family."
The people in Dingyong Hou's mansion were overjoyed. Several girls from the Xiao family heard it, and they all wanted to get up and accompany the queen mother to relax. However, I didn't expect that the queen mother waved her hand again and said: "You little girls are as tender as flowers, stay here and talk to your peers, you don't have to accompany my old lady."
Speaking can be compared to traveling with the Queen Mother! Xiao Yuya was about to resign when she saw Wu Junru winking at her: "Yuya, sit down with your sisters, and don't quarrel with Empress Wu to rest!"
After finishing speaking, Wu Junru supported Empress Dowager Cui's arm and went out.
And Xiao Yuya sat back inexplicably, what is the mother doing? With such a great opportunity for the Queen Mother, why did her mother stop her? If she had just followed her out, she might not know how much chips she would be able to add in the future!
Arrived outside the hall, and when she walked to a place where no one was there, Empress Dowager Cui withdrew her hand, and the expression on her face became indifferent. "My people are watching outside, tell me, what's the matter?"
Wu Junru retracted her hand embarrassingly. Now that there are no outsiders, Queen Mother Cui is not willing to pretend to be at all, and she does not even want to be touched by Wu Junru. But Wu Junru didn't take it seriously, and instead said eagerly: "Queen Mother, I ran into a big secret a few days ago!"
"Secret?" Empress Dowager Cui was suspicious. Wu Junru lowered her voice and told Empress Dowager Cui about Cheng Huizhen's story.
After listening to this, Empress Dowager Cui couldn't close her mouth in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
"It's absolutely true!" Wu Junru said decisively, "Cheng Huizhen is now on duty in the palace. If you don't believe it, you can call her over and ask carefully."
"She is on duty in the palace?" Empress Dowager Cui frowned, "She is a commoner's daughter, what is her duty in the palace?"
"She is a female official in front of Princess Qianning."
The Empress Dowager Cui's expression immediately turned contemptuous: "I see. Then pass her directly. No, she is in front of Gan Ning?"
Wu Junru didn't know why, so she answered truthfully: "Yes."
"It's still a little difficult." Empress Dowager Cui frowned unconsciously, she herself didn't realize how embarrassed she was now, "Gan Ning is a very troublesome person, she is seen by her. When the clue came out, this whole piece of chess was ruined."
"The Queen Mother, I've thought of this for a long time!" Wu Junru proudly went to the ground and asked for credit, "After I learned about the birthday of the Hejing County Lord, I sent a message to Cheng Huizhen early on, and asked her to be on the tenth day of the first day of the first year. Take time to come to the inner court for a while this day. Looking at the sky, it's almost the time we agreed."
…
In the apse of Liangyi Hall, Cheng Huizhen looked left and right, rather restless.
"What's wrong with you?" A female official looked at Cheng Huizhen strangely.
"It's nothing." Cheng Huizhen gave a strong smile and continued to spread the paper on her hand.
"It's inexplicable." Female officials also have their own camps, such as Cheng Huizhen, a powerless and powerless civilian woman, who has always been unpopular with noble female officials. The female official who spoke snorted disdainfully, and walked out with the printed paper in her arms. As a result, she filled her arms with someone as soon as she went out.
The flower paper in the female officer's arms was smashed and scattered. The female officer wanted to have a seizure, but she looked up and saw the person who came, but she was silent: "Sister Xiang Hui, why is it you?"
The female official said this a little bit nervously. Xiang Hui is a powerful celebrity around Princess Qianning, and it would be very bad if she offended her.
Xiang Hui's face was pale and looked very dazed, she shook her head and smiled: "It's okay, I didn't pay attention."
"Sister Xiang Hui, have you seen the princess? These flower notes are ready, do you want to send them to the princess now?"
"The princess is in the main hall, you can ask."
"Hey, good!" The female officer ran out quickly.
Tianyi Hall, Rong Ke was looking at the memorial.
Yuan Day has a 14-day holiday, the eighth day of the first lunar month officially begins, and the imperial court operates as usual. Although there were a few days off during the Chinese New Year, official duties would not decrease. Now, as soon as the court opens, all these things will be accumulated on Rong Ke's desk.
"Your Highness, the apse just came to report, the stamp paper you ordered is ready, do you want to send it now?" Song Xue asked.
Rong Ke wanted to say no, but her nib paused, raised her head, and asked thoughtfully, "Hua Jian, is the new female official in charge?"
Hua Jian was conceived by Rong Ke, and the petals were printed on the paper, which was beautiful and elegant, but to put it bluntly, this matter is not necessary, so it is an idle job, specially used for placement of newcomers The maid of the palace. These female officials had different identities, and Rong Ke was not at ease to let them take over important matters, but it was not enough to be idle, so he simply found something for them to do casually.
"Yes."
Rong Ke's eyes gleamed, and then she smiled. She lowered her head and said while writing, "Let them come in."
Song Xue was horrified by Rong Ke's smile, she touched her arm quietly, and thought to herself, who the princess was after. Rong Ke's habits are different from many people's, or even the exact opposite. When other people are angry, they always have a sullen face, but Rong Ke is different. The more angry she is, the brighter the smile on her face. Every time she sees Rong Ke smiling like this, Song Xue gets goosebumps all over.
Song Xue went out to pass the decree, and after a while, two female officials came in. "Join Your Highness."
"En." Rong Ke put down the pen, sat up straight, then loosened her wrists, looked at the two people under the table and asked, "You should enter the palace soon, right?"
Cheng Huizhen was called over by Gan Ning for some unknown reason. Now that she heard Gan Ning's question, she was even more afraid and unable to speak. The other female official was much smarter. She understood who was talking to her in front of her and what it meant to be close to Gan Ning. The female official suppressed her excitement and replied, "It's a minister's daughter."
This female official thought she was being asked by Gan Ning, and she must have arranged important work next, but she did not expect to hear Gan Ning say in the next moment: "I see, you should step back first."
The female officer was completely at a loss, but she didn't dare to resist, so she had to retreat in confusion. Cheng Huizhen saw her companion leaving, her palms tightened.
She was so nervous that she heard a clear voice above her head: "Your name is Cheng Huizhen?"
"Exactly."
Rong Ke held her chin in her hand and propped it on the table. Seeing Cheng Huizhen still lowered her head, she smiled silently and asked, "What kind of beast am I? Why don't you dare to look up? ?"
"The ministers and daughters dare not!" Saying this, Cheng Huizhen slowly raised her eyelids.
Following the regular floor tile line of the Liangyi Hall, Cheng Huizhen saw a dark wooden case, a purple skirt on a white background, high twists and turns, and... a beautiful 's outrageous face.
The moment she saw that face, Cheng Huizhen wanted to lower her head subconsciously, but was photographed by the other person's face and couldn't react for a while. Rong Ke also seemed to be looking at her, and after a while, he smiled softly: "So that's the case."
Rong Ke thought to herself, the lucky face looks like this. Hearing that Xiao Jingduo had asked his cousin about marriage in the past few days, it seemed that their childhood friendship was not that profound.
