Chapter 86
Chapter 82:
“Mother concubine!” The fourth prince covered his face and looked at Concubine Yuegui in disbelief. Ever since he was a child, his eldest mother-in-law has always loved him, but now he is so serious about it.
The son who grew up from childhood pet to the eldest looked at her aggrievedly. Concubine Yue also regretted this slap, but she still resisted the urge to comfort her son and asked, “Who came up with this idea today?”
“Since the mother-in-law knows that it is not a child, why does she still beat the child?” The fourth prince glared outside the hall, covering his face.
The palace servants withdrew early. At this moment, Concubine Yuegui and the fourth prince were left in the palace, and Zhang Shucheng was the one who was a little closer to the palace gate.
“Call him in.” Concubine Yuegui said coldly.
As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Shucheng noticed that the Fourth Prince looked at him with his face covered and blamed, and the noble concubine and aunt sitting high above looked even more displeased. Zhang Shu knelt down with a heavy load on the ground, without the fourth prince accusing Concubine Yue Gui for questioning, he directly took all the blame on himself.
“The noble concubine, it’s a bad idea from a minister, and it has nothing to do with the fourth prince.” Zhang Shucheng knocked on the ground with a thud. Kneeling beside him, “Mother concubine, cousin, he is also wholeheartedly for me. Didn’t the mother concubine want me to marry the Zheng family?”
“It’s a pity that the mother and concubine sent people to visit several times, but General Zheng did not agree once. As long as something happens to the son and his daughter, can he disagree?”
“You—” Concubine Yue Gui pointed to the fourth prince who was so angry that he stood up again, “You are going to marry, not to make enemies!”
“Even if General Zheng agrees with such a rude method, will he help you well?”
“Mother concubine!” The fourth prince didn’t care and retorted, “General Zheng has only one daughter, who else can he help me if he doesn’t help me?” Concubine Yuegui didn’t know what to say for a while.
“Mother concubine,” the fourth prince said more and more proudly, and the more he said, the more he felt that his cousin’s idea was very good, ‘she fell into the water, and I rescued her. In the public eye, she has not married me or married me. If she does not marry me, she can Who will she marry? As long as she is married to me, I am afraid that General Zheng will not plan for me. He has only one daughter!”
Zheng Yiru’s mother died young, and General Zheng had only one daughter, who was fostered at his grandfather’s house since childhood. General Zheng guarded the border alone, and he did not remarry after his wife’s early death. When Mrs. Zheng was alive, he had two concubines, but no one bore him a son and a half daughter. As long as Zheng Yiru is caught, how could General Zheng not support him.
“One of you came up with an idea, and the other followed suit,” Concubine Yue Gui said sharply, “What’s the result?”
“My son has arranged people in advance, and everything has been arranged. Who knows where the imperial brother came from, and the concubine…” The fourth prince muttered, “My son would have succeeded, if it wasn’t for the imperial brother and the concubine… —”
“Your imperial brother is still lying in the hall now.” Concubine Yue Gui angrily said.
“Your Majesty,” Zhang Shucheng, after waiting for Concubine Yue to pause, suddenly interjected, “Could it be that the minister and the Fourth Prince had leaked when the arrangement was made, and the Empress knew?”
At the mention of the queen, the imperial concubine immediately became vigilant. Yes, how could the concubine of a rejuvenating country run there, is it really the queen’s arrangement?
“This palace will investigate this matter carefully.” Concubine Yue Gui said, “Don’t do anything recently, just reflect on it in the palace.”
The Fourth Prince was not convinced, and his contemptuous eyes were caught in the eyes of Concubine Yuegui. “Don’t you think your father knows?” Concubine Yue Gui said angrily, “If you don’t say it, you just won’t expose you. Now your father has seen your thoughts…”
Concubine Yue Gui was very worried. What happened today could be big or small. The emperor didn’t pursue it, but the emperor kept the accounts in his heart. And Ye Zhaoyi, with such a face and such a figure, he took all precautions to find a remote place for her, and in the end he let her move out. She was really unhappy.
“Shucheng,” Concubine Yuegui took another look at Zhang Shucheng and called out cordially, “You are for the sake of this palace and the fourth prince. This palace knows that it is because of this palace that you can leave the palace now to beg for mercy. What happened now, this It’s better to attack less for a few days.”
“Yes.” Zhang Shu agreed, but his face was full of unwillingness when he lowered his head.
“Let’s all go down.” Concubine Yue Gui waved her hand, leaned back on the chair and rubbed her brows, and suddenly thought of Wei Yulian. Today, Japan was expecting her to shine at the banquet, but as a result… none of them made her worry. “Where’s your royal sister?” Concubine Yue asked just before the fourth prince went out.
The fourth prince didn’t know, Zhang Shucheng hurriedly said, “I saw the princess went to the second prince’s palace when the minister came, so it should be to visit the second prince.”
“Yeah.” Concubine Yuegui nodded and recalled the scenes that happened today.
The second prince waited until everyone was gone before Wei Yulian asked aloud, “Brother, you like Sister Zheng, right?”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Although he was weak, the second prince immediately retorted, and by the way warned his sister, “Miss Zheng is an innocent girl, don’t slander others.”
“Isn’t it?” Wei Yulian smiled and took out something and swayed in front of the second prince, “Brother, why don’t you explain to me why Sister Zheng’s handkerchief is here?”
This handkerchief, the second prince quickly explained, “This was picked up by the concubine on the side of the road. She didn’t know which lady surnamed Zheng it was, so she passed the handkerchief to me, and then you passed it to its master.”
What he said was true, but Wei Yulian didn’t believe it. “Brother Huang, it’s not just in my eyes that you are like this today.”
The second prince was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he turned his head away in pain, “I was the one who delayed Miss Zheng.” He, a crippled person, not only couldn’t help but also caused trouble.
No one knew his envy when he saw the concubine swimming by Zheng Yiru’s side like a fish. If his body was like the concubine, he would be the one who rescued Yiru today. The reality is that he still needs others to save him, and even in order to save himself, others can just ignore her. He is useless.
“I…” The second prince became nervous, is he really obvious today? What should I do, otherwise, the second prince suddenly stood up, and Wei Yulian pulled him.
“I want to leave the palace!” The second prince said decisively, “I will leave the palace now.”
“Ah?” Wei Yulian was stunned by his action, and she quickly realized that the emperor was going to let this matter be forgotten. As long as the emperor disappears, even if the people present have doubts, and everyone else has left, there will be no right or wrong.
“Brother Huang,” Wei Yulian grabbed him, “you can leave. You saw today that the mother-in-law and the fourth emperor have already made their minds on the Zheng family. You are really ready to leave, and ask Zheng to meet you next time. Is your sister your sister-in-law?”
The second prince sat back on the bed in despair.
Tang Yunian had already watched the father and daughter kill back and forth for two rounds. Yu Bing won and lost, and now the outcome of this match will soon be decided.
“The emperor’s chess seems to have dropped a lot.” The emperor dropped a piece and said with emotion.
“My son’s chess is taught by his father,” Wei Yubing was not at all unhappy when he saw that he was about to lose the game again, “It’s natural for my father to make the next move.”
“That’s not what I said,” the emperor waved his hand. “I introduced you to your chess game, but I didn’t take part in what I learned later on.”
“It’s because Erchen neglected his practice and couldn’t keep up.” Wei Yubing made another move, and the outcome of this chess game was decided.
The chess piece was picked up, and the emperor suddenly said to Tang Yunian, who had been watching the excitement, “Does the concubine want a game?”
she? Tang Yunian hesitated slightly, “…I am not good at chess.”
“There are no outsiders here,” the emperor laughed. “Just call me the emperor.”
“Yes, Royal Father.” Tang Yunian called out without much entanglement.
“That’s right.” Emperor Longyan Dayue, “Come on, you come here.” Tang Yunian could only obey her orders, but it wasn’t that she couldn’t play. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are not only compulsory for ancient ladies, but also necessary for ministers. Qin has been out of use for a while, but chess is different. It often happens that gentlemen discuss chess, so Tang Yunian learned it, and now it really works.
The people on the chessboard changed quickly. Wei Yubing sat on the side with a chair and looked at the two ‘fighting’ on the chessboard with a light expression, without the slightest bit of nervousness. Holding the pawn, the emperor thought hard about the next move, and accidentally caught a glimpse of his daughter’s indifferent gaze.
“Xingguo thinks that the concubine will definitely win?”
Did Yu Bing actually think he would win? Hearing the sound, Tang Yunian hurriedly looked at Wei Yubing.
“The chess field is unpredictable,” Wei Yubing chuckled, “I can see where the son is now. But if the royal father really lets the son go from his own heart, the son naturally hopes that the concubine will win.”
“Oh?” The emperor raised his mouth, “How long has the emperor been married, and his elbows are turned outward?”
“Imperial Father,” Wei Yubing said with a smile, “I want to ask for a result. There are so many people behind my father, and there is only one son-in-law, the son-in-law doesn’t want the son-in-law to win, do you hope that the father who just defeated the son-in-law will win. The emperor wins?”
“That’s true.” The emperor laughed and turned to look at Tang Yunian, “Concubine, concubine, you heard what Xingguo said. If you can’t win, it’s really a waste of Xingguo’s heart.”
“My son, do my best.” Tang Yunian looked at Wei Yubing sweetly.
You come and go on the chessboard, the emperor and Tang Yunian are thinking carefully about every step. Tang Yunian dropped a piece on the side, the emperor seemed to have expected it, and the piece was moved quickly, and the piece was transferred to Tang Yunian’s side. She was about to play when a minister suddenly played outside.
“Your Majesty,” the visitor reported, “the Prime Minister said that he has something to ask for.”
“What else is there to do at this point?” The emperor disapproved, “The prime minister will not do any trivial matters.” Having said that, he still put down the chess piece in his hand, and reluctantly asked, “I have to keep this game of chess, and I still have to play it. !”
Tang Yunian, who had already thought about falling, finally took it back. I thought I was going to wait here for the emperor to come back, but Wei Yubing said, “Let’s go.”
Tang Yunian threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess box and went out with Wei Yubing obediently.
The night was hazy, and the palace gate had already been locked. Tang Yunian didn’t ask where the princess was going, just followed her closely. Wei Yubing turned left and she went left, Wei Yubing turned right and she went right.
“Rest in the palace tonight.” Wei Yubing spoke first, “Just staying in my previous room.”
Isn’t Yu Bing’s previous room called-“Go to Yu Bing’s boudoir?” Tang Yunian asked. Does it fit?
“It’s fine if the concubine understands that.” Wei Yubing said indifferently.
Tang Yunian secretly paid attention to the route, which seemed to be the palace where she went to bathe just now. In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s not, it’s mainly Her Royal Highness, can Yu Bing stop being angry!
She knew she was wrong, and Yu Bing was still angry. Seeing that she was close to the palace, she saw the princess entering the inner room again. If Tang Yunian hadn’t got in in time, she would have been sleeping separately from Yu Bing today.
