"Did she really say that?"

"Yes." The commander of the imperial guard saw that His Majesty's expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish, "Also, Wei Chen's subordinates discovered that the second prince's concubine and Princess Fule seemed to have an old grudge."

"You have forgotten that the second son of the Xie family once had a marriage contract with Princess Fule. Later, the second son of the Xie family eloped with someone. The marriage contract between the Xie Ban family was invalidated, and the two families changed from in-laws to in-laws. We have become enemies." At the beginning of the feud between the two families, he, the emperor, took sides and protected the Ban family overtly and covertly. Since this incident, the Xie family's reputation in Beijing has become much worse.

"The Xie family lacks courage, has many ideas, and is even more courageous." Emperor Yun Qing put his hands behind his back. "If it weren't for the fact that the second prince is so ridiculous, I would not want to find such a family for him."

He looked down on the Xie family, but at the same time he found a concubine from the Xie family for his son. This mentality made people feel as if he had picked up the second prince from outside the palace.

It is said that he is partial to the prince, but the prince's life is not easy now. He is detained in the small area of ​​​​the East Palace and accepts criticism from all sides.

The commander of the Imperial Guard did not speak, because he knew that His Majesty did not need talkative subordinates. As the commander of the Royal Palace Guards, he also has another identity, that is, the commander-in-chief of His Majesty's Secret Service.

Those things that cannot be put on the surface are all done by him.

People outside gave these spies a name, Black Guards. Because when they appear, they often appear silently. Even if someone sees them, they are wearing black clothes and black scarves so that no one will recognize them.

Xie Chongjin, the eldest son of the Xie family, sent someone to assassinate Ban Huai, which made him very confused. When did the struggle between nobles become so simple and crude?

What confused him even more was why His Majesty helped Xie Chongjin deal with the exposed flaws? As an emperor, there are many ways to deal with disobedient courtiers, so why choose this method? This not only dragged the Ban family and Shi family into trouble, but also allowed the real murderer to go free.

Didn’t you say that His Majesty loves the Ban family very much?

This kind of using the Ban family to drag the Shi family into trouble, but leaving the Xie family with no dirty water, does not seem like a pampering attitude.

"I have so many descendants, but Princess Fule is the only one who agrees with me best."

Yes, this princess is so in line with your wishes, wouldn’t you still do it when you cheat on his father?

"Alas," Emperor Yun Qing sighed suddenly, his old face full of exhaustion, "It's a pity that she is neither my son nor my son-in-law, otherwise I would have one more general under my command."

"That's all, the second prince is so ridiculous, I should let him calm down." Seeing that the commander could not say a word for a long time, Emperor Yunqing suddenly lost interest in talking.

One day later, Emperor Yunqing drafted two imperial edicts and asked officials from the Ministry of Rites to read them out at court. The old man named the second prince Prince Ning, and promoted Anbo Rongxia to the title of Marquis of Cheng'an.

After the second prince took over the country, everyone had expected that he would be crowned prince, but it was just a matter of time. On the other hand, Cheng Anbo...how did he turn into Cheng Anhou after being beaten so hard? If there was such a cheap thing in the world, they would also like to be beaten.

However, something like a title is not something you can just have if you want it. Everyone doesn’t understand what caused your majesty to make Rong Xia unable to get out of bed more than ten days ago, and now he is inexplicably... When a person is promoted to a noble title, is it because he regrets it, so he compensates Rong Xia?

This is not right. It makes no sense that Yao Shangshu and Rong Xia were beaten together. In the end, only Rong Xia was compensated. Just because Rong Xia is good-looking, His Majesty's mind can't be so biased?

"Don't guess," King Changqing played with a fan in a suave manner, "I heard something."

"What's the matter?" The officials turned around curiously, and when they saw that the speaker was King Changqing, their curiosity became even stronger.

After all, King Changqing is also a relative of the emperor. He must know some royal secrets that others don't know.

Seeing the curious looks on the faces of these officials, King Changqing put away his fan, tapped his palms lightly, and said with a mysterious expression, "It is said that His Majesty summoned Princess Fule yesterday."

What does summoning Princess Fule have to do with Cheng Anbo... Cheng Anhou?

Everyone didn't react at first, but looking at the mysterious smile on King Changqing's face, they suddenly thought that Marquis Cheng'an was now the fiancé of Princess Fule. After careful calculation, he could be regarded as half of the family. .

Who in the entire capital does not know that Princess Fule is definitely one of the juniors that His Majesty loves most. Even the princesses surnamed Jiang and the concubine princesses are not as popular as her in front of His Majesty. She even has the same title as His Majesty's favorite daughter, Princess Anle. Is this the kind of treatment that ordinary relatives of the emperor can get? ?

The current status of the Ban family is unlimited, but Your Majesty really likes the princess of the Ban family too much, so how can you reward her? Anyway, Rong Xia is the fiancée of Princess Fule, so let's reward Rong Xia. Anyway, a husband is honored and his wife is valued. The higher Rong Xia's title, the better for Banhua.

My uncle's status is too low, and he was beaten and lost his face. Will Princess Fule lose her face?

It doesn’t matter, get promoted!

Officials want to understand this, and they are envious and jealous in their hearts. If a man marries an amazing wife, he will save ten years of struggle in his life.

Seeing the benefits that Rong Xia was getting now, and thinking about the Xie family who almost married the Ban family, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit sarcastic. The only person the Xie family can take advantage of now is the daughter of the princess. The others are all old, disabled, and useless. Unless the second prince ascends the throne and controls the power of the court, the Xie family will be nothing in this life. It can only be this way.

I originally thought that the two sons of the Xie family were pretty good, but I didn’t know that the eldest son was fired from his official position just after returning to Beijing. The second son was even more ridiculous. He caused such a thing as elopement, which offended the Ban family and made His Majesty dissatisfied. Since then, their reputation has plummeted. Whose good girl dares to marry into their Xie family?

As for whether the second prince can ascend the throne as emperor and firmly control the government, I'm afraid... it's difficult.

In Cheng Anbo's house, Rong Xia found that the doctor who changed his dressing had changed. This doctor was younger and he had never seen him before. If the Ban family's guards hadn't sent him there in person, he probably wouldn't have seen him. I believe this person is a doctor raised by the Ban family.

"My master and Dr. Cao went to Yao Shangshu's house to treat the injury. Because my uncle's wound has recovered better, the master dared to let me come down to change your dressing." The doctor who was changing the dressing was applying the dressing to Rong Xia. While taking the medicine, he whispered, "Uncle, your injury is almost healed. You can drink the medicine to nourish qi and blood according to the prescription prescribed by my master."

"Thank you." Rong Xia nodded to him.

"I don't dare." The doctor hurriedly returned the gift and turned around to put the medicine into the medicine box. Before he could say goodbye, he heard a servant of the Rong family say that the official from the palace had come to announce the order.

Rong Xia put on his robe and was helped to the main hall by his servants.

The official who announced the decree came from the Ministry of Rites. When he saw Rong Xia coming out, he greeted him first and then said, "Master Rong, I wish you well first."

"I wonder...why are you so happy?" Rong Xia saw the imperial edict in his hand and was about to kneel down, but was supported by officials from the Ministry of Rites.

"Sir Rong, His Majesty said that because you are injured, you are allowed to stand and listen to the order."

"How can this be done?" Rong Xia pretended to have to kneel down. The official of the Ministry of Rites supported him and said, "Sir Rong, this is His Majesty's oral instruction. If you kneel down, wouldn't it be a waste of Your Majesty's heart?"

"Alas," Rong Xia clasped her fists in the direction of the palace, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."

The official of the Ministry of Rites smiled, then unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, shook it, and read it out in a measured tone.

In the first half of the imperial edict, he used various kind words to praise Rong Xia's virtue and ability, and finally highlighted the key point, which was that he, the emperor, wanted to promote Rong Xia to the rank of Marquis.

Rong Xia really didn't expect that he would receive such an imperial edict. He was stunned for a moment before bowing and thanking him.

"Congratulations, Lord Rong," the official from the Ministry of Rites saluted Rong Xia with a gentle smile on his face.

"Master Lao is on this trip." Rong Xia returned the gift, and Du Jiu behind him gave the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette and the accompanying persons purses, euphemistically calling them tea money. Normally, no one would refuse this kind of money, which can be regarded as a source of joy.

The proclaimer left happily and was escorted to the gate by the servants of Rong Mansion. He mounted his horse and said to a high-level **** who was traveling with him: "Master Rong's grace is such that even if he is injured, he will not be injured." What a loss."

"Isn't it?" This **** looked like he was only in his twenties, and he had a very pleasant smile. Few people in the palace dared to offend him, because he had a good master, Wang De, the chief chamberlain. He is known as Wang Xizi. It is said that this festive name was given by the Queen herself. "The Za family felt that Mr. Rong's character was admirable."

The two looked at each other and smiled, never mentioning Rong Xia's previous punishment.

"Ouch." Wang Xizi suddenly shouted, patted the horse and stepped aside. The little eunuchs behind him saw this and followed suit, even though they didn't even know what happened.

The proclaimer looked up in surprise and realized why this respectable prince had hurriedly avoided the situation. It turned out that Princess Fule was riding a horse from the front.

The Declare Officer is only a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Etiquette, and he doesn’t see Princess Fule very often, but as long as he sees the white horse Princess Fule is riding, he knows that she has a high status, because This kind of horse is a tribute horse. Nobles whose status is not high enough and who are not favored enough will not get it even if they ask for it. Even if they ask for it, they will not dare to ride it on the street.

"I have met Princess Fule." The prince jumped off his horse and saluted Banhua diligently, regardless of whether Banhua could hear his voice or not.

"Call."

Banhua's horse stopped. She looked down at the young man in dark blue **** uniform, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "You are the father-in-law Wang Xizi who is serving in front of the Queen."

"The princess still remembers me, I am so lucky." Wang Xizi looked surprised, her eyes were shining when she looked at Banhua, "I don't dare to call you father-in-law, so the princess can just call me Xiao Xizi." ." To put it harshly, it would be an honor for eunuchs like them if Princess Fule could remember their names.

Everyone in the palace has eyes and ears listening to all directions. Which empress is favored by the emperor, which prince and princess has a bad temper, what are your majesty’s taboos, which of the emperor’s relatives is the most honorable in front of the emperor and the empress, as long as there is something a little bit The eunuchs and maids in the doorway knew all this information clearly.

For example, Princess Fule is a master who cannot be offended. They would rather offend the concubine princess than make this noble master unhappy in the slightest. Two years ago, a short-sighted maid criticized Princess Fule's marriage. After Princess Fule found out, Princess Fule just glanced at him and said nothing. But since then, this palace maid who used to have some respect has become a rough lady. He has seen this palace lady a few days ago. She is old and ugly, how can she be as delicate as two years ago?

This is not because Princess Fule is trying to make things difficult for her, but because someone knew that Princess Fule was unhappy and went to complain to the Empress in order to please the Queen and Princess Fule. It is not surprising that those who cannot control their mouths will end up in the harem.

Talking about people, worrying about clothes and jewelry, that is the life of noble ladies. If a palace maid dares to do this, that is the life of a maid who is a temperament of a lady. She will not choose the day even if she wants to die.

Even his master, Mr. Wang, had specifically told him some noble masters that he should not offend. Princess Fule must not be offended. Recently, the master also specifically mentioned it to him again, and said that he would be happy to see Fu Le. Lejun should be more respectful and attentive.

Although he didn't understand the reason, naturally what his master said would not harm him, so he just followed it.

"In a few years, I should call you Da Xizi," Banhua couldn't help laughing when she saw Wang Xizi's attentive look, "Where did you come from?"

"My servant has been serving in the Dayue Palace recently. I have the honor to accompany the Master of the Ministry of Rites to announce the decree to the Marquis of Cheng'an. I have just come out of the Marquis of Cheng'an's Mansion." Wang Xizi said and gave Banhua another big gift, "Congratulations, County Lord."

Banhua was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he meant: "Marquis Cheng'an, has he been promoted to a noble title?"

"Back to the princess, it's true. Wang Xizi agreed with a smile.

"I see," Banhua took out a purse and threw it to Wang Xizi, "I'll give it to you for tea."

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward." Wang Xizi held the purse in both hands and looked up again. Princess Fule had already ridden away. The guards behind her followed neatly on horseback, looking at the extremely majestic look. .

This is the real noble lady, and she is generous in her actions.

After returning to the palace, Wang Xizi found Wang De and told Wang De what he saw and heard when he left the palace today. After saying that, he also presented Wang De with the purse that was rewarded by Marquis Cheng'an and Princess Fule.

"Since it was rewarded by the Marquis and the Princess, you should keep it well." Wang De did not accept his things, but just smiled and said, "If you are familiar with Princess Fule, then it is yours. Blessing. This..." he said meaningfully, "is a noble man."

Wang Xizi thought that since he was born in a noble family and had a fiancé who was famous all over the world, he was naturally a noble person that they could not afford to offend.

Rong Xia walked into the Cheng'an Hou Mansion and saw that although the faces of the servants in the house were a little more happy, they did not lose their sense of proportion. She nodded in her heart. She is worthy of being a servant of the scholarly family, with such character. It's just so different.

"Princess," the housekeeper came up to see Banhua holding an oil paper bag in his hand. The bag seemed to contain... candies?

Ban Hua nodded to the housekeeper and walked to the yard where Rong Xia lived. Rong Xia can now read and write, but she can't move too much for fear of injuring her wounds. When Rong Xia came in, he was sitting upright on a stool reading a book, not daring to lean on anything. Banhua was so tired for him just looking at him.

"There is a big event today and you can still read the book?" Banhua walked into the house and opened a half-closed window, "I just met Wang Xizi in the palace on the way and learned that you have been promoted to a noble title. , I didn’t have any gifts with me, so I happened to see a candy vendor selling candy on the roadside, so I bought a few bunches for you to try.”

Rong Xia put down the book and looked at Banhua with a smile.

Ban Hua put the brown paper bag on the table, walked behind Rong Xia, carefully opened the collar and took a look inside, "It's good to be young. I heard that Master Yao suffered a lot and almost lost his life. ”

Rong Xia looked at Banhua, "Why did Huahua ask the doctor to help Mr. Yao?"

"Originally, our family is not a troubled person, but Miss Yao was crying sadly, and Master Yao suffered the punishment together with you. If you are completely fine, what happened to Master Yao? There will be no one there for a while. If you gossip, it will not be good for you if someone talks about it in the future."

Rong Xia was stunned. He had never thought that he was half the reason why the Ban family caused this trouble.

"Forget it, let's not talk about idle people." Banhua took out a bunch of candies from the oil paper bag. They were actually seasonal fruits poured with boiled syrup. Some fruits can be very sour, but the syrup is also very sweet. Doesn't it taste good? It all depends on luck.

Banhua bought this thing as a gift, and bought some snacks with her mother who was out on the street to comfort her children at home.

Rong Xia took the bunch of candies and was unable to eat them for a while.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him looking at the candies in a daze, Banhua took out another pack from the oil paper bag and took a bite. His teeth were so sore that he almost fell out, "Bah, bah, bah."

Rong Xia threw down the candy and brought her a cup of tea.

After taking several sips of tea, Banhua threw the candy into the oil paper bag, "You'd better not eat it, it tastes bad." She poked her face in embarrassment, "What about that? I'll try it again tomorrow. I’ll make up a gift for you.”

"No, this is very good." Rong Xia took a bite of the candy fruit. The pulp was indeed sour, but after chewing a few more mouthfuls, when the syrup and pulp were mixed together, the taste was not that difficult to swallow.

"Don't eat it," Banhua snatched the bamboo stick from his hand, "Are you stupid? I said it was sour, but you still eat it."

"Not sour, very sweet." Rong Xia swallowed the candy in her mouth, stretched out her tongue and licked the candy residue around her mouth, "I like it very much."

"Ahem!" Banhua's eyes were a little wandering, but the corner of his eye fell unconsciously on the corner of Rong Xia's lips.

Sin, sin, sin.

The quiet moment between the two did not last long before they were interrupted by the servants.

"Uncle, I have sent a congratulatory gift from Prime Minister Yan's house."

"Uncle, Uncle Zhongping sent you a congratulatory gift."

"Uncle, Prince Changqing has sent a congratulatory gift."

Gifts continued to come in, one gift list after another was presented to Rong Xia, and almost all the prominent people in the capital sent gifts.

"Jade toad?" Banhua looked at a gift list, "Toad attracts wealth. This is a blessing for making a fortune."

"And this, the original calligrapher of the previous dynasty?" She asked doubtfully, "Isn't this original painting in my home? Where did his original painting come from?"

Rong Xia smiled and said, "Maybe I bought a fake."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe the one in my house is a fake," Banhua put down the gift list and yawned, "I think in the past half month, those are the only people you have been with frequently. As for now, These people..."

Banhua sneered, "They are all just **** who act according to the changing circumstances."

"It's not their fault," Rong Xia smiled lightly, "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and they are also in trouble. This has been the case throughout the ages, there is nothing to complain about."

"You can think about it, I'm petty anyway." Banhua stood up boredly, "You have many customers today, so I won't bother you."

"Hey." Rong Xia reached out and grabbed Banhua's wrist. Although it was separated by the sleeves, it was early summer and Banhua was wearing gauze, so Rong Xia could still feel the temperature under the gauze, "You Why are you leaving? I'm injured now. If you don't help me, I will have to watch these things alone."

"There is still work to do without me," Banhua held her hand but did not break away, "Don't look."

"If you don't want to read it, don't read it. Can you sit with me for a while?" Rong Xia said with a disappointed look, "These gift lists are just vulgar things sent by people who follow the wind. You can read it or not. Huahua, you are someone who dares to love and hate, how can I let you work so hard for such small things?"

"I think you are the one who can act according to the wind," Banhua sat back on the stool. "People who act according to the wind are indeed not lovable, but the vulgar things they send are still lovable." Banhua I am a person who likes vulgar things, so I never dislike the vulgarity of precious jade and pearls.

Rong Xia's eyes brightened: "There are many beautiful jewelry in the warehouse at home. If Huahua likes them, feel free to pick them out. As long as you wear them, these gems will definitely become more beautiful."

Banhua was a little moved, but thinking that she was still in the period of filial piety, the excitement disappeared: "Then keep all the beautiful things for me."

"Okay." Rong Xia nodded repeatedly.

A middle-aged steward who walked to the door stopped, bowed and said, "Master Marquis."

"Wang Qu?" Rong Xia glanced at Banhua, turned to the middle-aged man outside the door and said, "What do you want?"

"Something happened outside."

"What happened?"

"The eldest son of the Zhongping family was drunk and had a dispute with a local gangster. Who knew that the gangster was so bold that he stabbed Xie Dalang three times in a row."

Banhua was shocked. Didn't Uncle Zhongping's house give Rong Xia a gift just half an hour ago? How long had it passed before something happened to his family?

Her dream was too vague and she had no memory of this period at all, probably because...she didn't care about Xie Dalang at all?

"Have you caught the gangster?"

"The place where the accident occurred was in a busy city. There were many people watching, and there were many people watching the excitement. The murderer was lost."

"How is Xie Dalang?"

"Xie Dalang hurt his thigh and heel..." Wang Qu hesitated for a moment, then thought of the presence of Princess Fule, so he used a more euphemistic way of saying, "It's a serious injury, I'm afraid there will be no future generations."

"I understand, go down." Rong Xia was silent for a moment and shook her hand to Wang Qu.

"Yes." Wang Qu quietly stepped back.

"Um," Banhua stretched his head curiously and whispered in Rong Xia's ear, "Xie Chongjin became a eunuch?"

"..."

"Why don't you speak?"

Rong Xia nodded with difficulty, because it was difficult for him to mention a man's self-esteem to Banhua.

"The Xie family...what kind of bad luck is this?" Banhua couldn't help but began to sympathize with the Xie family. What was going on.

"Perhaps their family did something immoral and received retribution." Rong Xia pinched Banhua's fingertips, "If you continue to care about other men's affairs, I will feel bad."

"What's so delicious about a man who has become a eunuch?" Banhua patted the back of his hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, there is no more handsome man than you in the whole capital. With you, my vision has changed. High."

Rong Xia couldn't laugh or cry. She really didn't know if this was a compliment or something else.

After noon, Rong Xia stayed with Banhua for lunch before reluctantly sending him out of the house in person. After Banhua left, Rong Xia called his subordinates, "Have you found out the reason why the emperor promoted me to a title?"

The expression of the guard standing in front of him was a little subtle: "Master, my subordinates are incompetent, and the exact reason has not been found yet. However... there is a rumor among the courtiers."

"What rumors?"

"Yesterday, His Majesty summoned Princess Fule. It is because of Princess Fule that you were granted the title of Jin."

Rong Xia suddenly remembered that Huahua did go to the palace to meet His Majesty yesterday, and it was not until almost noon that she rushed to him from the palace. What on earth did Huahua do to make Emperor Yunqing, who was relatively stingy about titles, suddenly decide to upgrade him to a title?

Seeing Rong Xia's silence, the guard thought that such rumors from outside had made his master unhappy, and hurriedly said: "This is just gossip from some people outside, and it cannot be taken seriously. How could the emperor do something just because of the words of his daughter's family? Such a big decision has been made. Those officials are just talking nonsense and are just jealous."

"No," Rong Xia shook her head and said with a deep expression, "If it were anyone else, of course it would be impossible. If it were Huahua, she does have such charm."

Guard:? ?

Does Uncle know that people outside are laughing at him now that he is not marrying a wife, but is marrying into a family?

No, it should be said that ever since the news about the engagement between uncle and Princess Fule spread, these random rumors have not stopped, but after this time, they spread especially fiercely.

Why do other people marry a wife with honor and respect to the husband, but their uncle marries a wife with honor and respect to the wife even before she enters the house.

Who wouldn’t be angry after hearing this?
