Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 446: Tianwei (2)
Puyang Houfu.
A long follower walked in quickly and reported in a low voice: "...The King of Xingyang and the Marquis of Guangping entered the palace together and went to the Wenhua Hall. In less than a stick of incense, the King of Xingyang came out. The Marquis of Guangping came out. It will be a little later. When King Xingyang left, he looked cheerful. On the other hand, the Marquis of Guangping had a gloomy expression, and it seemed that he was reprimanded."
The Marquis of Puyang nodded thoughtfully, then waved his hand to signal Chang Sui to step back: "Let people continue to watch the movement in the palace, if there is anything unusual, please report back immediately."
After waiting for a long time to retreat, Mrs. Puyang Hou hurriedly asked: "Do you want to go to the palace to see?"
The Marquis of Puyang sneered: "The Marquis of Guangping is distressed by the tragic death of his old lover and hastily entered the palace. The emperor was in a bad mood, and it would be strange if he didn't beat him when he saw him. What does it have to do with me if Concubine Su dies? ."
That's true.
Mrs. Puyang Hou thought for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief: "What the Hou Ye said is true. This matter has nothing to do with our Puyang Hou Mansion, we will not interfere."
"It's right to think so." The Marquis of Puyang exhorted without hesitation: "The East Palace and the third prince have turned against each other, and there will be a battle in the future. It is inevitable that the emperor is dissatisfied with the East Palace because of this. However, these are all related to us. It's okay."
"The queen mother is my aunt, our Zhao family is the emperor's family. If we are safe and secure, we will have a lifetime of prosperity and wealth."
In a nutshell, open your mouth less and talk less to stay safe.
Mrs. Puyang Hou listened to the persuasion very much, and immediately responded: "What the Hou said is true."
The Marquis of Puyang said again: "These days, the palace is not very peaceful. I will hide at home for a while, and wait until the emperor is in a better mood before entering the palace. Don't rush into the palace, and see what's going on in a few days. ."
Mrs. Puyang Hou nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, does our son-in-law have a chance..."
"What chance is there!" Puyang Hou glared at his wife: "Don't even think about it."
"The East Palace has a huge power. Wen has Qiao Ge Lao Luo Shangshu, Wu has Xingyang King and his son. Prince Li Jing made great achievements and prestige in the battle of Yan and Chu, and Prince Concubine Lu Mingyu was even more ruthless, leading troops to attack at night. In the military camp, Yan Tuo was slashed with one sword. In the palace and outside the palace, who wouldn't respect her for three points? People in the capital mentioned the Crown Princess, and they said yes."
"Who can shake the crown prince?"
"Let alone the third prince and the fourth prince, even the emperor cannot move Yi Chu's mind."
East Palace has wings, but it is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded.
It can also be seen that no one has such things as power as much as they have.
Mrs. Puyang Hou was aggrieved and muttered in a low voice, "I just said it casually. It doesn't mean anything else."
The Marquis of Puyang snorted: "It's not enough to say it casually. In case such words are passed into the palace, or in the ears of the crown prince and concubine, it will cause misunderstanding and cannot be explained at all."
Mrs. Puyang Hou kept her mouth shut.
……
The Palace of the First Prince.
The eldest prince and concubine personally serve the eldest prince to bathe. The eldest prince took off his clothes and sat in the hot water. There were more than a dozen scars on his body, large and small. The most striking and terrifying thing was the knife scar on his right leg.
It was this knife that almost cut off the eldest prince's right leg, making him a lame cripple.
The eldest prince and concubine stroked the scar with her hand, and her tears fell: "His Royal Highness has suffered."
The eldest prince's eyes were gloomy, and his voice was full of bitterness: "That day, I couldn't bear the serious injury, and I have been recuperating in the military tent. The imperial doctor did not dare to say it clearly, but I knew in my heart that my leg would not get better."
"Thinking about it now, it would be better to die then than to look like this now."
The eldest prince and concubine burst into tears, hugging the eldest prince and crying: "How can your Highness say that. It is better to be alive than to close your eyes. Your Highness has injured a leg, and everything else is fine. , in the future, I ask the father and the emperor to grant a piece of vassal land, and the ministers and concubines will go with the highness.
The eldest prince looked disgusted with himself and sneered repeatedly: "I look like this, what else is beautiful and not beautiful."
How to comfort the eldest prince and concubine, the eldest prince still has the half-dead virtue.
The eldest prince and concubine had no choice but to wipe her tears and wait on the eldest prince to change his clothes.
On the bed, something more embarrassing came.
The husband and wife reunited after a long absence. They should have hugged each other affectionately and did some intimate things.
But the eldest prince lay there like a dead fish, and didn't mean to make out.
The eldest princess was both surprised and aggrieved. It's not that she has to be affectionate and lingering, but now there is only one concubine, Brother Tang. She is also looking forward to giving birth to a son!
Could it be that the First Prince injured not only his right leg?
The eldest prince concubine felt uneasy in her heart, gritted her teeth, plucked up the courage to lean over, and put her head on the shoulder of the eldest prince. The right hand rested lightly on his chest.
The eldest prince reflexively waved off the eldest prince concubine's hand as if he had been scalded by boiling water.
The eldest princess was caught off guard, her right hand was swung away, and the person also rolled around, almost falling onto the bed. Fortunately, the eldest prince responded quickly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled the eldest prince and concubine back to the bed.
The eldest prince concubine had lingering fears, gasping for breath, and her eyes were full of fear and embarrassment. Tears welled up in his eyes again.
The eldest prince also knew that he was going too far, he coughed and apologized dryly: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you, but I was very tired from the long march. After a few days, I will rest and relax. Come..."
The eldest prince and concubine endured shame and whispered: "His Royal Highness is resting."
Then, take the initiative to turn away.
The eldest prince looked complicated, closed his eyes, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The eldest princess didn't fall asleep, but she didn't move, pretending to sleep soundly.
……
That night, Emperor Yongjia did not go to Jiaofang Palace, nor to Wang Jieyu or Concubine Meng, and slept alone in Wenhua Palace.
Early next morning, Emperor Yongjia summoned all the ministers to the hall
Emperor Yongjia didn't mention what happened in the palace, so the courtiers couldn't be ignorant and ask questions ~IndoMTL.com~ Quan Zuo didn't know.
Emperor Yongjia first praised Qiao Gelao and others, and then asked all the ministers to discuss the war book.
There are five booklets that record military exploits, placed together in a thick stack. It records the military exploits made by all the soldiers over the past two years.
From the crown prince and several princes, down to the common soldiers, the ones who made big contributions included beheading the Yanchu generals for breaking through the city, and the lesser ones beheading several heads and so on.
On the merits and deeds of the four words, it is simple to say, it is not easy to operate. It takes five or six days to do a careful calculation.
Have come here for half a day, and everyone is so busy that their mouths are dry.
Emperor Yongjia said with a smile: "I have prepared a royal meal. At noon today, I will have dinner with all the Aiqings."
The ministers hurriedly bowed their hands in thanks.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu came in and whispered a few words in Emperor Yongjia's ear.
