After the morning court, the emperor returned to the imperial study. Before he could sit down, he received a note from Princess Qingping's mansion.
After the emperor opened it and looked at it, he laughed angrily, "This Qingping immediately defended someone. This is the first time I have seen her so eager to defend someone other than the consort and Duanhua. This Su Rong, it seems...
It’s simple.”
The emperor knows her sister Qingping's temper best. She won't give a single look to anyone she dislikes. She will even tell people to get away. She will never let anyone enter the princess's mansion and stay there.
It's been so long and he still hasn't been released.
Li Quan asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to summon someone to the palace for an audience?"
The emperor shook his head, "She's just a concubine."
Li Quan said quickly: "Yes, she is not worthy of His Majesty's special visit."
The emperor suppressed Princess Qingping's papers and planned to have someone review today's impeachment of Su Xu at the court tomorrow morning, so he threw Qingping's papers to him for him to read.
In the emperor's opinion, such a trivial matter can neither hurt the muscles nor move the bones, so it is really unnecessary. Just like what Qingping said to his personal maid, the emperor also felt that Yan Li was not very generous, so it was difficult for him to do so.
It has become a trend. If he were Yan Li, he would wait for the opportunity and would not use the impeachment method to make up for the face he lost yesterday.
When it comes to his most outstanding and successful son, he is definitely the prince. But he is so successful that it makes him uncomfortable. However, now that the government is stable and balanced, it is just right. He does not need Yan Li to be too magnanimous and outstanding to be able to
Just check and balance the prince. Otherwise, after a thousand years, future generations will judge history and find that all his political achievements during his reign were because he had a good son. Where would he be placed?
The second princess, Zhang Wan, would naturally not post to Su Rong to invite people to the palace again. Just when Su Rong thought that no one would dare to invite her again, many posts were posted to the princess's palace. Unlike the eldest prince,
The concubine only made one post to Duan Hua, but asked Duan Hua to bring Su Rong, but Duan Hua took the initiative and added Fengling in the reply. Now there are three posts, one from Duan Hua and one from Duan Hua.
One share belongs to Su Rong and one share belongs to Fengling.
There are dozens of posts, some inviting people to come over for tea, some inviting over to have a banquet, some inviting people to go out for an autumn outing, in short, there are all kinds of reasons for invitations.
Duan Hua took the posts and looked at them one by one, "Well, the posts from Prince Ruian's Mansion, the posts from Shen Mansion, the Minister of Civil Affairs, the posts from Weiyuan Bo's Mansion... Huh? There is even a post from Cheng Guogong's Mansion. This post says, Cheng Guo Gong's Mansion
Grand Duke Ye Qiuying’s birthday is coming in three days, and Duke Cheng is planning to host a grand event and invite us to come over and have a banquet.”
After she finished speaking, she asked Su Rong, "Is this Ye Qiuying the niece that Ye Guixue sent to the capital?"
"It seems so." Su Rong nodded.
"Ah, then this post must be accepted." Duan Hua said: "My mother should also have an invitation post from his family. It seems that the Duke of Chengguo attaches great importance to this granddaughter from the Ye family of the Southern Chu Kingdom."
Su Ronxiao, "Of course we have to take it seriously. After all, Mr. Ye is still living in the Chengguo Palace."
Duan Hua blinked, "So, we can see Young Master Ye?"
"Maybe."
Duan Hua turned to look at the post again, "You know Xie Lin? The post from Prince Ruian's Palace is tomorrow, and the person who posted it is Princess Ruian. It said that your eldest brother was also invited, in order to thank Xie Lin for the Su family's care when he was in Jiangning County.
.Are you going to the banquet tomorrow?"
"go."
Duan Hua nodded, picked the post aside, and frowned, "The day after tomorrow, Mrs. Shen said that she would send someone to pick up You and Fengling to stay at the Shen Mansion. The post said that if I can't bear to leave you, I can follow you. Staying in Shen Mansion for a short while, this..."
She hesitated, "Isn't this bad?"
Su Rong said: "Aunt Shen is probably afraid that you won't be able to let me go and will keep you here for a few more days, and you won't be able to take me away, so that's why you said this."
Duan Hua blushed, "What's wrong with you living in the Princess Mansion?"
Su Rong said: "It's good, but I can't leave my eldest brother alone in Shen's Mansion. Well, the post said he would pick me up the day after tomorrow, so I went back. You can come with me to Shen's Mansion as a guest, so you don't have to You and I are staying in Shen Mansion. Anyway, I will not be staying in Shen Mansion for a few days, so I plan to move to Xie Mansion in Dongsi Hutong with my eldest brother. However, as long as you are in the capital and come and go every day, you will be fine too. Find me."
Duan Hua was unhappy and didn't want Su Rong to leave, "Can't we stay for a few more days?"
Su Rong teased her, "You might as well marry me."
Duan Hua stretched out his hand to pinch her, and the two of them immediately burst into laughter.
Fengling was eating melon seeds on the side, looking at the painting book, and gave the reason, "Princess, I don't think you can stay here anymore. I'm almost tired of you being the cook of the princess's house."
Before Duanhua could get angry, he added: "What's more, we can't stay in the princess's mansion forever. You have to think about the princess and the prince-in-law. We sisters are in trouble now."
Duan Hua hummed, "My parents are not afraid of trouble."
"No matter how much you are His Majesty's biological niece, you are not as good as his biological son. The princess is His Majesty's biological sister, but she is not as close as a biological son." Fengling said: "The eldest prince has set his sights on the Su family. As long as the Su family doesn't want to I just want to take advantage of it. If we continue to live in the Princess Mansion, if we don't do it right, it will affect the Princess Mansion."
Duan Hua frowned, "It's not that bad. The princess's mansion is not made of paper. Are you still worried that you will be involved?"
"You are wrong." Fengling said: "What I mean is that we no longer live in the princess's mansion, so the princess's mansion can escape. And if we are in trouble, we can also ask you for help. The princess is here for me today Sister, you have already defended us after receiving the discount. When we learn that we have repaid the favor, we should leave immediately."
Duan Hua was not angry and said, "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go, let's go."
She either didn't understand, or she was addicted to having people play with her in the princess mansion. Growing up, apart from her parents, she was surrounded by a bunch of servants. Finally, after the Su Rong sisters came, she realized that she was not bored in the mansion. But Su Rong and Fengling were right. As long as they stayed in the capital, she could go find them no matter where they were.
In the morning of the next day, the official brought up the old matter again, and there was no way to impeach Su Xu's goddaughter. The emperor snorted, as if he had expected that this person would not give up, and simply threw Princess Qingping's information on the minister's head. , "See for yourself!"
The minister was hit on the head by the book, but he did not dare to complain. He opened Princess Qingping's book. After reading it, his face changed and he broke into a cold sweat.
"There is a saying that if you are not strict in running the family, you will not be able to teach your daughter well. Liu Aiqing, what about you? What is written in Qingping's book is true? Are you strict in running the family?" the emperor asked aloud.
This man was speechless. He thought that her daughter's matter was something that happened two months ago and was long gone. Who knew that Princess Qingping would find out about it? Who would have thought that it was Su who he was impeaching? Xu, Princess Qingping stepped forward and protected her tightly. He was speechless for a moment and fell to his knees, "My, my minister..."
"If you can't argue, just do as Qingping said, take off your black gauze hat, go back and think about it, and then come back and become an official again!" The emperor waved his hand.
Someone came in from outside and quickly took off the official's court uniform and took him out. The official surnamed Liu was allowed to cry and beg for mercy, but it was in vain.
The eldest prince's faction was shocked, and the second prince's faction was also shocked.
Without waiting for anyone to beg for mercy, the emperor gave the eldest prince a cold look and ordered, "Retreat from the court."
The courtiers fell silent, then fell to their knees and shouted long live the mountain.
The eldest prince Yan Li's heart trembled at the emperor's glance. He suddenly understood that his father felt that in order to regain face, he secretly encouraged people to make a fuss out of molehills, make big things out of small things, find small mistakes in others, and lose his self-restraint.
His face turned pale. Although his father was no longer an official of Mr. Liu, he was giving him a warning.
The second prince, Yan Lin, also saw it clearly and thought that his father would not order Su Xu, the governor of Jiangzhou, because of a goddaughter's incompetence, but he would punish Princess Qingping because of Princess Qingping's failure. It is worth mentioning that Mr. Liu, a fourth-rank official, is the father of many emperors.
Do you dote on Princess Qingping? On the surface, you do, but in reality, you are just beating Yan Li and giving him a slap in the head.
Yan Lin looked at Yan Huisheng, who was calm and composed at all times. Yesterday, he did not let the East Palace faction move, which obviously made his father very satisfied. If he had moved yesterday, his father would probably give Su Xu a warning. He would not
Did you guess that Princess Qingping would marry Zhezi? In terms of guessing what the father was thinking, Yan Huisheng was the most accurate.
Yan Lin's eyes were heavy, and without saying a word, he followed the courtiers out of the Jinluan Palace.
The news of the early morning meeting quickly spread throughout the government. Duanhua was happy to hear it and said to Su Rong: "Isn't my mother so powerful? She doesn't get into trouble easily. Anyone who offended her in the past would always run away.
Go to the palace and cry to the emperor's uncle. Only a few times will she be punished, but as long as she is punished, my emperor's uncle will definitely turn to her and scold whomever she interferes with, and whoever she interferes with will be unlucky."
Su Rong didn't expect this result, so she nodded quickly and sighed, "Well, the princess is really amazing."
Thank you for your monthly passes! It’s the last two days of the month! If you still have monthly passes, don’t keep them! See you tomorrow!
