"I haven't seen you for a few months. My uncle seems to be different from before." The monk took a new set of bamboo-carved cups, poured hot tea and put it in front of Rong Xia, "Please use it slowly."
"You're welcome," Rong Xia took the teapot and poured the tea directly into the cup in his hand, "Did you bring her here on purpose?"
"Uncle, if a poor monk has such great ability, why does he need to stay in this temple?" Seeing that Rong Xia didn't drink the tea he poured, the monk reached out and picked up the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, "Fu Princess Le suddenly came to visit today, and the poor monk was even more surprised than the uncle."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Rong Xia looked at the monk in front of her who didn't look like a monk: "She doesn't know about my affairs. You should be more cautious in front of her in the future."
"Don't worry, uncle. To the poor monk, she is just a generous pilgrim." The monk seemed a bit rogue. The pilgrims support him with money, but the poor monk dare not offend him."
"Okay, you don't have to say these pretentious words in front of me," Rong Xia put down the teacup, "What exactly did you find?"
The monk dipped his finger in the tea on the table and wrote the word "二".
"Power moves people's hearts, and this guy can't sit still."
Rong Xia sneered: "This is how the royal family is, and this is not an earth-shattering event. I like the prince more now, and he knows it. You came here today just to tell me about this?"
The monk had a tolerant smile on his wrinkled face: "Uncle, why are you so anxious? Just treat yourself as a poor monk who comes to you to discuss Zen and Buddhist scriptures."
"I have never believed in Buddhism or God," Rong Xia chuckled, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"The poor monk wants to talk to you about Princess Fule."
Rong Xia's eyebrows moved slightly but she said nothing.
"Princess Fule is a rare and good girl, but in the opinion of the poor monk, this is not a good time for my uncle to get married." The monk said disapproving words with a smile on his face as warm as spring, "Princess Fule carries the royal blood of the Jiang family, which is of no use to my uncle's great cause. Her family seems to be prominent, but it is a loft in the sky. It cannot help my uncle much. The poor monk does not quite understand why you have decided in such a hurry. Want such a fiancée?"
"So in the opinion of the master, who is the most suitable candidate?" The wrinkles on Rong Xia's eyebrows relaxed, and he looked at the monk with a half-smile.
"Naturally not getting married," the monk looked into Rong Xia's eyes, "My uncle's choice to get married at this moment is a very irrational choice. After hearing that my uncle was actually engaged to Princess Ban's family, the poor monk was very Surprised, this doesn’t seem like what you should be doing now.”
"Master, as a monk, why do you have to think about these mundane things?" Rong Xia stood up and walked under a poplar tree. "I don't want the master to call me here in the future just to talk about such unnecessary things."
The smile on the monk's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes became serious: "Uncle, do you like this princess?"
The man standing under the tree did not look back or answer.
The monk closed his eyes, clasped his hands together and recited the word "Buddha", "This poor monk is troubled. I hope that I will not regret it one day."
"Master," Rong Xia turned to look at the monk, "I am very grateful to the master for being willing to help me, but there are some things I will only say once. I asked for Princess Fule, even if it is inappropriate, she is mine. It’s not suitable for her and has nothing to do with her.”
The monk opened his eyes, and after a while he slowly shook his head: "Come on, come on, since the uncle has already said this, I don't dare to say more."
Rong Xia put her hands behind her back and said after a long time: "The second prince and the Yan family secretly colluded together. The Shi family was so proud that they were already dissatisfied. They were holding back because of the prince's face. But... The Yan family is about to rise again."
The spring breeze blows, bringing with it the chill of early spring and blowing throughout the entire capital.
Just when everyone thought that the Shi family would become a great cause for the Shi Ban Dynasty, His Majesty suddenly seemed to remember the benefits of the Yan family. He frequently showed good looks to Yan Hui in the court, and even had to hand over several important matters. Handed to Yan Hui.
Anyone with eyes can see that Yan Hui is back in favor.
Perhaps because he had been neglected too much in the past, even if Yan Hui was re-employed by the emperor, he was still cautious and did not dare to be half proud, and even cut off contact with the prince. In the past, the Yan family secretly interacted with the prince's faction and often made suggestions for the prince. However, when the Yan family lost power, the prince did not help the Yan family to speak well in front of His Majesty, and even seemed to be emotionally biased towards the Ban family. Therefore, Yan Hui was The prince was already heartbroken.
In Yan Hui's view, he had no merit but hard work for the prince. Why is the prince so heartless? He happened to forget that the Ban family was also a relative of the prince, and even the eldest princess was an elder whom the prince truly respected. How could Yan Hui's weight in the prince's heart be compared to that of the Ban family? This time, the prince did not follow others to make trouble for the Yan family, which was a violation of the prince's usual code of conduct, because in his opinion, the grievances between the Yan family and the Ban family were indeed the fault of the Yan family.
However, Emperor Yunqing was still very satisfied with the fact that the Yan family had wisely stayed away from the prince. He wanted the prince to be an excellent heir, but he also didn't want him to escape his control early and become above him, so it was just right now.
The older a person gets, the more afraid they are of growing old.
His father-son relationship with the prince also became more complicated.
At the end of March, the prince Liangdi gave birth to a daughter. Liangdi died of hemorrhage shortly after giving birth, so the prince's first child was raised by the prince's concubine. Although the people in the prince's faction were a little disappointed that this was not a son, the Shi family was relieved. It would not be a good thing for the prince to have a concubine's eldest son standing in front of them.
On the day of the third bath, because of their filial piety, the Ban family did not go to the palace to congratulate the prince. However, they sent Aunt Chang to the palace to make a pot for their granddaughter.
The prince was very fond of this daughter. Seeing that the Ban family did not come, he asked Aunt Chang specifically. After hearing the reason, he sighed, rewarded Aunt Chang with something and asked her to leave.
"I'm not a person who pays attention to these customs. My cousin and aunt really care about it too much." The prince still remembered that when he was a child, his cousin took him to dig out bird's nests under the trees and catch summer cicadas for him to play with. , this is one of the few relaxing memories in his well-behaved childhood.
"Your Highness, the Ban family understands the rules," the Crown Princess saw the Crown Prince looking a little disappointed, so she persuaded with a smile, "The little girl is only so big, she should avoid being bumped into, and it will not be harmful to the child if she brings filth. OK."
The prince looked a little unhappy: "My great-aunt has devoted her life to the royal family. Even if she dies, she will protect our daughter from a long life. How can she harm her?"
"Your Highness, this is the rule in the palace, those who wear filial piety..."
"You and the child rest in the room for a while, and I'll go out for a walk." The prince stood up, his voice a little cold, and went out without looking at the princess.
The Crown Princess was stunned and was about to ask the Prince to wear more clothes. It was a little cold outside, but she turned around and saw the child stretching out his hand from the swaddling clothes. All her attention was focused on the child. She originally wanted to say The words were also forgotten by her.
The prince turned around and saw that the princess only lowered her head to comfort the child. Finally, he sighed, turned around and walked out of the yard.
"My lord, madam," when Grandma Chang returned to Ban's house, she was followed by several eunuchs from the East Palace.
After seeing the gifts to the Ban family, the eunuchs gave away the gifts prepared by the prince. These gifts are prepared with great care, even the gift boxes avoid bright colors.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so polite, how can this be done?" Ban Huai thanked him repeatedly and gave each of these young eunuchs a purse before letting the butler send them out.
After the young eunuchs left, Mrs. Yin asked Aunt Chang to sit down and asked, "Auntie, how is the prince?"
"The slave looks good at the prince, and he is very fond of the imperial granddaughter." Chang Ma sat on the stool, bowed slightly and said, "The prince was very disappointed when he heard that you couldn't go, so he asked I brought you a gift."
"The prince is a benevolent man." Yin turned to look at her daughter and sighed secretly in her heart. It would be great if the prince could sit on the throne safely.
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince must be thinking of you," Chang said in a low voice, remembering the way the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess got along, "I just want to say something more, the relationship between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince is I'm afraid we won't get along well with each other."
"How could this be so?" Mrs. Yin looked at Aunt Chang in surprise, "Didn't it mean that the Crown Prince respected and loved the Crown Princess very much, and there was no one around him except Liang Di given by the two queens? One of the Liang Di After giving birth to the royal granddaughter, she disappeared, so why are there bad things between them?"
"The slaves can more or less see whether the husband and wife get along harmoniously. For example, the princess and the consort, as well as the Duke and his wife, are all rare loving couples. As for the prince and the princess... "Ms. Chang shook her head, "I'm afraid the two of them are not as good as the rumors outside."
"After all, we can't get involved in the royal family's private affairs." Although the Yin family had a lot of affection for the prince, she could only sigh helplessly when she heard Nanny Chang's words.
"Isn't the Crown Princess the eldest lady of the Shi family?" Banhua, who had been listening for a long time, said, "I remember that she is a virtuous and dignified woman, and the Crown Prince's cousin has a gentle and kind personality. The two of them should get along very well. That’s right.”
In Banhua's opinion, the eldest daughter of the Shi family is a real lady with extraordinary bearing and elegant manners. Even if she doesn't like the second daughter of the Shi family, she can't fault the eldest daughter of the Shi family. Compared with the second young lady, the appearance of the eldest lady of the Shi family is a bit inferior, but when the two young ladies of the Shi family stand together, the first thing everyone notices must be the eldest lady of the Shi family, not Shi Feixian.
The eldest lady of the Shi family is like a precious pearl, her beauty is gentle but not dazzling, but she makes people feel comfortable when they see her. Based on her understanding of the prince, he should like this kind of woman.
But Aunt Chang is an extremely accurate judge of people. If there was not a real problem between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, Aunt Chang would never speak out due to her cautious character. Therefore, Banhua had to believe that Daye and the couple The second most distinguished couple has a problem.
"Silly boy, sometimes it's hard to talk about things like relationships," Yin smiled, "When men and women in the world come together, it doesn't mean that the most suitable relationship will be the best."
