MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 127 mission
"Mandarin" has a cloud: There are eight winds in a year. After the Qingming wind, the yang qi rises, and all things are in harmony.
In March, spring is full of spring.
In the capital city, due to the upcoming wedding of the prince and the empress dowager's 60th birthday, it was a happy and peaceful place.
A few months ago, Honglu Temple began to make full preparations for receiving embassies from various countries.
It is worth mentioning that, as a rule, the diplomatic missions of various countries entering Beijing were sent by the governor of the nearest prefecture to guide their companions into Beijing after entering the country.
However, Honglu Temple received the instructions of the Prince's Palace, and only gave a special case to the Beiliang embassy who established diplomatic relations with Daxia for the first time.
Honglu Temple sent two officers and two internal officers to lead the envoys, escorted by 4,000 Nanya Longwu Army, and greeted them at Yungang, Xuzhou, where the Beiliang mission planned to enter, and gave the highest receptionist to Beiliang. Courtesy.
Since the beginning of the month, various princes and congratulatory embassies from various countries have arrived in Beijing one after another.
The Beiliang embassy was arranged in Dutingyi; the Turkic embassy was arranged in Tongwen Pavilion; the Xirong embassy was arranged in the Protocol Court; the Southern Xinjiang embassy was arranged in Zhanyun Pavilion; the Korean and Dongyi embassies were arranged in Huaiyuanyi; Countries such as Jiaozhi, Annan, Gepo, Sanfoqi, Danliumei, Khotan, Chenla, Dashi, etc. are arranged in the Banjing Pavilion.
The Nanya Forbidden Army is responsible for guarding the various post houses in Shangjing. If the envoys of various countries go out, they must report to the Nanya, and the Forbidden Army will follow.
Some countries such as Turks and Xirong expressed strong dissatisfaction with such similar surveillance arrangements, but Lu Chen, the commander of the Nanya Forbidden Army, went to the post house in person and only said, "This is an arrangement ordered by the Crown Prince." They blocked it. go back.
How could the embassies of various countries not know Daxia, the prince who oversees the country, Feng Zhan, who made the decision to kill. This prince, but no one will buy it.
In fact, they also understood that since entering the capital of Daxia and going to Beijing, if there is no explicit surveillance by the royal family, there will be secret tracking.
It's just that Feng Zhan, the prince, is indeed arrogant and domineering.
------
As soon as Guannei Hou Han Shiyan entered Beijing, he took his subordinates to the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion aggressively, and Zuo Prime Minister Wang Xian knew very well that Guannei Hou had to settle Han Shuangling's miscarriage when he entered Beijing this time. Wang Xian had already sent people to various cities in Shangjing. Standing guard at the door, when he saw Guan Neihou's bike frame, he immediately notified the Prime Minister to return to the mansion.
In the front hall of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Xian and his eldest son Wang Jingheng apologized to the Marquis of Guannei respectively, while Han Shiyan, the Marquis of Guannei, didn't say much.
Han Shiyan glanced badly at his ashamed son-in-law Wang Jingheng, and said coldly:
"I want to see my daughter Han Shuangling."
After Han Shuangling arrived in the front hall, Wang Xian asked Wang Jingheng to go out with him, and left the father and daughter of the Marquis of Guannei to talk.
Wang Jingheng had some hidden worries in his heart. Based on Wang Jingheng's understanding of this father-in-law, Guan Neihou, he must still be holding his breath, but he didn't say anything just now, which is even more disturbing.
Wang Jingheng guiltily glanced at Han Shuangling, passed by, and exited the hall.
In the hall, after Guan Nei Hou Zi's daughter Han Shuangling was seated, he did not speak immediately, but was silent for a while.
After a while, Guan Neihou looked at Han Shuangling,
"Shuangling, it was your aunt, Concubine Jing, and the third prince who wanted you to marry into Zuoxiang's mansion. I thought Zuoxiang's mansion was a bit complicated, but you agreed at the time, so you didn't insist on being a father."
"I thought Wang Jingheng should be good, but now it seems that he is not very assertive, and he is almost obedient to his father Wang Xian."
"I also understand the situation. On the day of the winter hunt, it was your sister-in-law, Wang Jingyan, who instigated you to go to the horse race with the Crown Princess. She had a bad mind and even hurt you."
"Daughter, my father is a military general, and his words are rough, but his words are not rough."
"Your mother and I are very worried about your future. Let's not be this chess piece. Let your aunt and his son Feng Yi do what they want to do by themselves. Let's just reconcile."
"The noble daughters of our high-level clans are afraid of reconciliation. There are so many people lining up to ask for marriage."
"It's fine if you don't marry in your whole life. Even if I am the only daughter of the Marquis of Guannei, even if you can't become a noble, the property in the mansion will be enough to support you for a few lifetimes."
After Guan Neihou finished speaking, he fixedly looked at Han Shuangling, waiting for her reply.
If Han Shuangling nods at this moment, Guan Neihou, the madwoman who protects her daughter, will immediately approach Wang Xian to discuss the matter of reconciliation.
After a moment of silence in the hall, Han Shuangling looked up at Guan Neihou and said:
"Father, let me think about it."

After the people of Qin Xiangfu's mansion were beaten by the people of the Duke's Mansion in Xiyuan that day, this gossip quickly spread all over Shangjing, and Qin Xiangfu really became the laughing stock of Shangjing.
Qin Xiang's face was covered with paint, and the internal injury and the skin injury were combined, so he had to hand over the book to the Prince's Mansion. On the grounds that he suddenly fell ill, he asked him to recuperate in the mansion.
Prince Feng Zhan knew very well why Qin Xiang was ill. After all, there was so much noise in Xiyuan that day.
Feng Zhan didn't embarrass Prime Minister Qin too much, and quickly approved the book.
However, this document was personally sent to the Qin Prime Minister's mansion by Lord Song of the Prince's Mansion, and handed back to the bed-ridden Prime Minister Qin.
Song Zhi conveyed the condolences of His Royal Highness Prince to Qin Xiang:
"His Royal Highness let Prime Minister Qin rest and recuperate. His Highness also said that if Prime Minister Qin is indeed getting old and his body can't bear it, then he should resign and return to his hometown."
After Song Zhi said this, he saluted and left, but Qin Xiang was shocked and angry, almost vomiting blood.
Let him resign?
This is the prince who wants to dismiss him!
Qin Xiang didn't think about the shame, he immediately sent away a few folk doctors and instead sent people to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor. He had to recover as soon as possible, otherwise some people would be waiting to see Qin Wenzheng's jokes.
------
That day in Xiyuan, Mrs. Qin and Song Mei also received some punches and kicks, but they were guarded by servants, but it was not a big problem. It was just that one was old and the other was frail. They fell into the water and were frightened. It took the admiral a few days to barely stay.
As soon as the old lady recovered her spirits, she immediately sent someone to invite Prime Minister Qin to come over.
"It's too arrogant, you are a first-rank prime minister, and the old man is a first-rank official. If he wants to fight the government, he will fight. This is not to put my prime minister's house in the eyes, nor the royal family in the eyes!"
And Qin Wenzheng was just silent and did not agree, which made Mrs. Qin angry.
"Wenzheng, don't you still think about that poisonous woman Shen Shiying, I'll tell you, if she still wants to enter the door of my Qin Xiangfu, don't even think about it!"
Qin Wenzheng frowned, Shen Shiying and the people from the Zhenguo Gongfu were so decisive in Xiyuan that day, how could there be any possibility between him and Shen Shiying?
The old lady said angrily:
"Wenzheng, if you don't do this, I'll send someone to the palace to ask your sister, Concubine Shu, to do it. At the feet of the emperor, he will be lawless in the government!"
Mrs. Qin was about to get up, but Qin Wenzheng sighed and summoned the servants to restrain the old lady.
"Mother, a colleague in the censor's desk gave his son a word, saying that someone in the censor's desk proposed that he should use his son to lift Song Mei as a matter of balancing his wife, and in the name of favoring a concubine and destroying his wife, read a book on his son."
The old lady Qin stopped immediately when she wanted to stay in the bed, full of fear,
"Participate in your book? Lift your wife?"
"Didn't you think that Shen Shiying was dead?"
Qin Wenzheng frowned and said:
"Before the people in the township government have always claimed that Shen Shiying is missing, and now that Shen Shiying is back, the people in the township government also say that Shen Shiying has been out for training these years."
"Based on the fact that Shen Shiying is still alive, my Qin Prime Minister's mansion did raise the concubine in the mansion as a flat wife when his first wife was alive, and Song Mei was not a concubine before, so how could those officials let go? Son is the handle."
Qin Wenzheng looked at Mrs. Qin and said solemnly:
"Mother, if the censor station is really impeached in the name of favoring a concubine and destroying his wife, although the result is unknown, the impact on your son's career will definitely be detrimental."
"The matter of Xiyuan, don't make it too big, or it won't end well at that time."
The old lady Qin didn't say a word, but she was still angry, and she was angry and worried.
Could it be that this dumb loss can only be suffered by himself?
Qin Wenzheng comforted old Mrs. Qin and turned to go out.
Qin Wenzheng felt extremely sad in his heart.
At the beginning, in order to let Shen Shiying have a son, there was a disagreement with Shen Shiying.
Later, because of the night when he and Song Mei were in an accident, Song Mei became pregnant.
Again, considering that Song Mei had a son in her belly, she accepted Song Mei as her concubine. Shen Shiying gave birth to the idea of separation from herself, and the estrangement between the husband and wife became deeper and deeper.
Later, in order to make the only son Qin Ming become the first son, Song Mei was raised as his wife.
But now, Qin Ming might not be his own flesh and blood, and the Censor Station has even caught a handle to impeach him.
Qin Wenzheng felt that he was really blinded by lard.
Qin Wenzheng dragged his steps and walked two more steps, and suddenly stopped.
After a while, Qin Wenzheng instructed Zhang Quan, the official next to him:
"Bring those two women back."
After all, you still have to have a son.
------
But Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang.
Just to give birth to a son, you have done so many things. Does your family have a throne to inherit?
You can see how enlightened people are, and the only daughter can't be spoiled.
Qin Xiang was too pedantic and hurt himself a lot!
------
Ye Qinghe, the king of Yizhou, was summoned by the sage to the palace every day since he entered the capital.
And Yizhou Princess Song Yin has no worldly friends in Beijing, so in addition to visiting the palace concubine, when she has nothing to do, she will take her servants to hang out in the most prosperous West City and South City in the capital. Come back fully loaded.
Ye Qinghe also felt free to waste money on Song Yin. As long as this woman was obedient and not noisy, it would be better.
One day, after Song Yin came out of a jewelry and jade shop in the West City, he casually walked into a silk and satin shop.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw that he was a distinguished guest, he hurriedly went to greet him in person:
"If you need anything, please ask the little one."
Song Yin asked the shopkeeper to take out all the silk and satin patterns in the store for her to choose, but the more she chose, the more ugly her face became.
"The silk and satin village in Shangjing is this fine? Are you sending me? Let your boss come out."
The shopkeeper was very nervous. These days, because of the Prince's wedding and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, there were a lot of nobles in Shangjing, and it was very difficult for him to receive them.
Maybe the lady in front of her was in a bad mood and wanted to find fault. He couldn't afford to offend him, so he had to inform Boss Wen quickly.
------
In the West City, the elegant room for the reception of VIPs on the second floor of Wen's Silk and Satin Mansion.
Song Yin was sitting on a large chair, and the long table in front of her was full of silk and satin patterns, some of which were from this shop, and the other was temporarily drawn from another shop just before Wenluo came over.
Wen Luo, who was standing opposite Song Yin, asked:
"Is there any satin that noble people like?"
Song Yin reached out and flipped casually in front of him, and said leisurely:
"There are a lot of colors, but not very special."
"I remember the last time I went to Beijing, I saw in the palace the beautiful pattern of the brocade robe on the crown princess. It was something I had never seen in Yizhou."
"It's a pity that I'm not familiar with the Crown Princess, so I'm too embarrassed to ask the satin, is it from the Shaofu supervisor in the palace?
"Manager Wen, do you insiders know?"
"Heh, how did the shopkeeper Wen meet the crown princess?"
Song Yin stopped here and took a sip of tea.
Wen Luo heard the other party mention the word "Prince Concubine" repeatedly. Although he didn't show it on his face, his pupils shrank slightly.
Song Yin glanced at Wen Luo in front of him, put down the tea cup, reluctantly selected a few pieces of satin, and went out.
On the return journey, Song Yin put away the laziness on his face, and was still relieved.
She has carefully investigated the matter about the Crown Princess Qin Yan, and the news included the Wen's firm in Shangjing.
There are rumors that the boss behind Wen's firm is the person of the Crown Princess Qin Yan.
In fact, what Song Yin can find out about the relationship between Wen's firm and the Crown Princess was released by Wen Luo himself.
Ji Nanfeng reminded Wenluo of the risks, but Wenluo still decided to take advantage of the Crown Princess's power. He was alone, so why didn't he dare to gamble.
Song Yin's vague words to Wen Luo, if Wen Luo was not from the Crown Princess, no one would be suspicious.
But if he was, the bait he threw out would depend on whether the crown princess could take it or not.
------
The main hall of the main hall of Xishan County.
Wen Luo repeated the conversation between the nobleman and him in the silk and satin village today, word for word, to the princess Qin Yan who was sitting on the top.
Then Song Zhi took a portrait from the Prince's Mansion, Wen Luo nodded:
"is her."
After Wen Luo left, Qin Yan went to the study.
Feng Zhan was still critiquing papers, Qin Yan chose a chair closer to Feng Zhan and sat down.
"The person sent back to Yizhou by His Royal Highness seems to have worked?"
Feng Zhan put down his pen and looked up at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan spoke softly:
"Princess Yizhou should want to see me, but I don't know how sincere she is."
Feng Zhan got up, took a booklet from the bookcase, walked to Qin Yan and pulled the woman up, sat down on Qin Yan's chair, and put the woman on his lap.
"Look at it." Feng Zhan's voice was low, and he handed the book to Qin Yan.
Qin Yan adjusted a comfortable posture in Feng Zhan's arms, and opened the book to quickly browse.
"In the Turkic embassy there are the Khan King Ashina Qigu and the Ninth Princess Ashina Pearl; the Xirong King Jiang Quyi and the emperor's eldest son Jiang Shang from Xirong; the regent princess Shi Yue, the princess of the new moon, came from the southern Xinjiang..."
"Beiliang..."
Qin Yan smiled inexplicably after reading the Beiliang section.
Feng Zhan lightly squeezed the soft flesh around Qin Yan's waist and took Qin Yan's words,
"Beiliang Emperor and his party brought a whole ship of gifts. In order to prevent the gifts from being damaged, they unloaded the goods at Xuzhou Yungang, and continued to transfer to the waterway to go to Beijing from the canal. It will take a few more days to arrive in Beijing..."
Feng Zhan let out a low laugh,
"A whole ship's gift may be more than a congratulatory gift."
"Beiliang Emperor's move is to make Daxia and the neighboring countries around Beiliang sleepless at night."
Both Feng Zhan and Qin Yan knew very well that once Beiliang married Daxia, it would break the balance of the surrounding great powers.
Qin Yan did not continue this topic:
"I personally tried the person Song Zhi brought back today. Your Highness is very good. The old Taiye Chi case can be found after so many years."
Feng Zhan buried his head in Qin Yan's neck and said hoarsely:
"How will Yan Yan reward Gu tonight?"
Qin Yan endured the itch and continued to finish the business:
"Report to His Highness."
"Huh?" Feng Zhan raised his head slowly, but there was already **** in his black eyes.
Qin Yan opened her mouth with a cool voice:
"I want that man's life."
