Chapter 99 Hope born of despair
When Qin Yumo, Shen Huaishu and Qi Mingyu stood in the Qinzheng Hall, not only did they find it incredible, but even several of the chamberlains in the Qinzheng Hall frequently cast strange looks at them.
Qin Yumo should be regarded as the calmest among the three, because the eldest princess of Pingyao has the highest status among the three princesses and will not abuse him, while Shen Huaishu has been standing quietly beside him, with a pale face and dead eyes. The despair of fate.
The discussion between the regent and the ministers has not yet ended, and the three of them still have a chance to chat for a while.
"I heard some things, you just need to know what you know." Qin Yumo said softly, "Yesterday Princess Jiayu held a flower viewing party at the palace, and the cousin of the regent's palace was also invited."
Qi Mingyu was shocked. Could it be that Princess Jiayu caused this incident?
He listened to Qin Yumo's words attentively and did not dare to interrupt.
"Because Miss Gu likes the Prince Regent, Princess Jiayu gave Miss Gu a packet of medicine, saying that if she put it in the Prince Regent's food, she would make the Prince Regent fall in love with her and remain committed to her."
"How is it possible?" Qi Mingyu's face changed slightly, "How can aristocratic family have this kind of medicine?"
"I don't know if there is such a medicine, but Miss Gu believed it, and after going back yesterday, she really put this medicine in the regent's food. Unfortunately, it was discovered on the spot. Later, the regent found out that it was Miss Gu who had given the medicine. , and betrothed her directly to a general in his army." Qin Yumo lowered his voice, "It's General Wei who is almost forty years old and is still alone after his first wife died."
Qi Mingyu felt uneasy: "Did she really drug the regent?"
"yes."
"Is the medicine poisonous?"
"That's right." Qin Yumo nodded, "Princess Jiayu must have been instructed by the Queen Mother to use Miss Gu's hands to poison the Regent. She thought that even if the incident came to light, the Regent would still care about his late mother and concubine. For my sake, please handle Miss Gu with care."
"It's a pity that I was betrothed to a big boss in the army." Qi Mingyu frowned and looked at Qin Yumo, "How do you know so clearly?"
Qin Yumo said: "Princess Pingyao is relatively well-informed."
"Then..." Qi Mingyu was confused, "Does it have anything to do with us?"
It stands to reason that if the regent wanted to punish Princess Jiayu, he would just issue a direct order to punish her. Why did he summon the three consorts into the palace to obey the order?
"I guess the regent is a bit over-qualified when dealing with the two princesses. He gave you the power because he wanted you to compete with the two princesses." Qin Yumo said in a low voice, "You are also allowed to take concubines."
Shen Huaishu was silent from beginning to end and had no reaction to their words.
Taking a concubine?
With Princess Jiahe's temper, she would find a way to kill the whole family of any girl he looked at even before he could take a concubine.
"I heard that General Wei has a bad temper." Qi Mingyu frowned, "Didn't someone say that General Wei's original wife was beaten to death by him?"
Qin Yumo was surprised when he heard this: "It shouldn't be possible, right?"
"Anyway, it's good for the lieutenant generals to go into battle to kill the enemy, but when they return home, no one knows what kind of temper they have." Qi Mingyu said, "But this matter has nothing to do with us. What I am concerned about right now is whether the regent will really give Our power, let us enter the DPRK?”
Qin Yumo was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head: "I don't know, maybe, or maybe I just took this opportunity to teach the two princesses a lesson."
"A lesson?" Princess Pingyao walked in, looking dashing in a black cloak. "He can even kill his own cousin. What are the two princesses? The regent is going to teach Jiahe and Jiayu this time." The punishment for the princess is true, but you have to seize the opportunity yourself, just don't be the mud that can't hold up the wall."
The expressions of the three people changed slightly, they stopped the discussion immediately, and respectfully saluted Princess Pingyao.
Pingyao walked over and rubbed Qin Yumo's face: "Behave well and don't let me down."
Qin Yumo's cheeks turned red.
The other two consorts looked at him with subtle eyes, and for a moment they didn't know whether to envy Qin Yumo's good luck or sympathize with his situation of being treated like a little coward.
However, after thinking about it, the person they should sympathize with more is themselves.
At least Qin Yumo would not be beaten frequently. The eldest princess was a little domineering, a little unruly, and a little deviant, but she was never violent, and she would not beat or scold Qin Yumo.
"By the way." Princess Pingyao looked at Qin Yumo lazily before turning around and leaving, "Consort Shen and Consort Qi may have the opportunity to take concubines in the future, so don't think about it."
After saying this, she walked out calmly.
There was a moment of silence in the Qinzheng Hall.
The three princes-in-law, who had similar origins and now have similar identities, were silent for a while.
"The Prince Regent has arrived!"
The three people came to their senses instantly, knelt down and saluted respectfully: "See the Regent."
Ji Yucang was followed by Ling Feng, who was holding a large pile of memorials in his hands. He lamented for the first time that his personal bodyguard was being used as the chief chamberlain.
The silence in the palace was a bit depressing and unsettling.
Ji Yucang walked to the case and turned to look at the three of them: "From now on, the three of you will enter the palace at the same time as the ministers do in the morning. When you get here, I will order someone to arrange special desks and seats for you. Chair, there is a policy essay every day. You can write your own propositions, including war, people's livelihood, governance, diplomatic relations, and trade."
"The king will assign you four personal guards. For a period of one month, if you have outstanding talents, I will grant you an official position and join the Qinzheng Palace to participate in politics. If you are stupid, don't blame the unfair fate."
Shen Huaishu couldn't help but feel a little hope.
Maybe God finally heard his despair and gave him this chance when he was in desperate situation.
He must grasp it well, otherwise...otherwise he will be in dire straits in the future.
