7-6 Believe it or not, I will kill your whole family
7-7 Prince Consort is in progress
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. In the inner courtyard of the palace, in public, in front of so many imperial guards and eunuchs, Liu Ziguang openly threatened to kill the whole family of a first-class official in the dynasty. It was really unbelievable.
.
Hou Xun was stunned for a moment and didn't react. He looked at Liu Ziguang in astonishment. Mrs. Hou understood. She was shocked and angry. Her eyes darkened and she fainted on the spot. Fortunately, the little eunuch behind him helped her in time, otherwise she would have fallen.
Falling to death, who is Hou Fangyu? He is the leader of the four Jiangnan princes known as the "tyrannosaurus". Faced with such a tough threat, Mr. Hou will only rebound more violently. He knows that the fight is not Liu Ziguang's.
The opponent, but at this time the momentum was gone and he could not lose, so Mr. Hou shook a few strands of hair on his forehead, narrowed his eyes slightly, and deliberately put on a nonchalant expression and said: "The Hou family is waiting for Marquis Zhenwu to come to kill, the neck is soft
Anyone who is weak is considered a coward named Hou!"
After saying that, Hou Fangyu recalled: "My father-in-law, please be a witness. If your Majesty calls Hou into the palace and you can't find anyone when you come back, please ask your Majesty to ask Mr. Hou for someone."
What a good Hou Fangyu, he is even greener than Liu Ziguang when it comes to charlatanism, but Liu Ziguang is not the kind of street hooligan who only makes empty promises to scare people. He will kill your whole family when the dignified Marquis Wu says. He once again stared at Hou Fangyu.
He said in a steady tone: "It's best to give up trying to be a prince-in-law, otherwise you and your whole family will regret it. I will do what I say."
Hou Fangyu snorted coldly and did not answer. Liu Ziguang turned to the group of eunuchs who escorted the Hou family out and said: "Master Hou, please be a witness. You must listen carefully. What I say can be interpreted as true."
I learned the lessons from this toffee and that toffee, do you hear me?"
A group of eunuchs were silent, and some timid ones had their calves twisted. The eunuch leading the group was the chief eunuch around the empress. He thought he was favored, and had the care of Eunuch Wei, so he did not take Liu Ziguang seriously. Besides, this
After receiving the filial piety of five thousand taels of silver from the Hou family for the first time, he naturally wanted to help at the critical moment. He waved his whisk and said with a smile: "Marquis Zhenwu is joking. We servants in the palace can't stand your intimidation. The champion family
I am a guest of the Crown Princess, and may very well be a relative of the Crown Princess in the future, so I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to do this..."
Liu Ziguang looked the eunuch up and down and said, "Why do you, an eunuch, worry so blindly about royal matters? Is it your turn to teach me how to do things? Which palace are you from? What is your name? Do you understand the rules?"
The eunuch's surname was Xu. He went to the Hou Mansion to deliver the order. He saw Liu Ziguang beating someone on the way and reported it to Empress Nangong. As the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, he was quite powerful. However, he was ridiculed by Liu Ziguang at this time. Eunuch Xu
Feeling that he was losing face, he stamped his feet fiercely: "Our family is Xu Rong, who serves Empress Nangong in Cining Palace. If you have any advice, go directly to the empress. There is no need to scare our family here."
After saying that, he said to Hou Shangshu and his family: "Let's go." Hou Fangyu shook his chin provocatively at Liu Ziguang and helped his mother away. Liu Ziguang looked at their backs fiercely and raised his fingers to the side.
"What are your orders, sir?" An imperial guard came over.
"Check Eunuch Xu's background. Empress Nangong must remain pure around her. We don't want to meddle in anyone, and we can't let anyone else meddle in her." Liu Ziguang said coldly.
In Cining Palace, Concubine Nangong, Concubine Song, and Mrs. Qian were sitting and talking. Naturally, they were talking about the marriage between Hou Fangyu and the eldest princess. In ancient times, people paid attention to the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words when getting married. Generally, there was nothing to do with the parties involved, so
This conversation was conducted avoiding Zhu Cheng.
"Sister, are you satisfied with the number one scholar?" Princess Song picked up the teacup and blew it gently, asking slowly.
"This child has good looks and a good temper, and his talent and learning are beyond praise." Empress Nangong nodded and spoke highly of Hou Fangyu.
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress. I just saw that your highness seems to be quite concerned about Mr. Hou's injury. It is best for the young people to decide on this important matter of marriage..." Mrs. Qian's face was filled with a smile, looking very...
Happy, she and Princess Song are the matchmakers of the princess. If this marriage succeeds, the relationship with the royal family will be closer in the future, which will be a rare political resource.
"If my sister is satisfied, she might as well tell the emperor as soon as possible and let the emperor issue an order to make this good thing happen. The eldest princess will be eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year, and the eldest is not young anymore. If it goes quickly enough, maybe my sister can hold her grandson together."
Concubine Song covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled, as if she was getting married in person.
"Well, this matter has been settled, and you two sisters will have a matchmaking wine to thank you for it." Empress Nangong made the decision for her daughter, and only waited for the emperor to be notified before officially entering the process.
The three of them talked for a while, and suddenly heard someone shouting from a distance: "The Emperor has arrived." It turned out that it was the daily routine for the Emperor to pay his respects to his mother and concubine. Concubine Song and Mrs. Qian hurriedly left and left through the side door.
Went back to Princess Song's palace to continue our private conversation.
Here Zhu Youxiao kowtowed to his mother and said hello, and then the mother and son sat together to talk. Naturally, Empress Nangong brought up the matter of recruiting a consort, and first asked the emperor what his impression was of Hou Fangyu, the new number one scholar. Hou Fangyu was Zhu
Naturally, he was very impressed by the number one scholar who was appointed by the school. The emperor nodded and said that the number one scholar was good, and his appearance, talent and learning were all first-class.
The empress said: "Your Majesty, what do you think of recruiting the number one scholar to be your consort?"
"Prince-in-law?" Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised, and then he came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "I have forgotten the important life events of the emperor's sister. This number one scholar is good at everything, but he has an unreasonable father. Today he can't help but blame me.
I scolded the Liu Qing family for marrying such a person, I...forget it, as long as the mother-in-law and the emperor's sister are satisfied, I also agree. After asking the emperor's sister what she wants, I will give the order to the queen.
The family brings betrothal gifts and birth dates to the palace."
Empress Nangong said: "Your sister is a shy person. How can you ask me like this? Your Majesty, just do it. The Queen and I will take care of you here, so don't worry about it."
"This is the best." Zhu Youxiao nodded.
The matter of recruiting the consort was quietly carried out behind Zhu Cheng's back. The emperor's decree was conveyed to Hou Shangshu's house. The whole house was rejoicing. It seemed that they had gotten back the result of being bullied by Liu Ziguang yesterday. He, Liu Ziguang, was even more awesome.
We can't really kill the consort and make the princess a widower.
Hou Fangyu was particularly proud. He liked the feeling of making his opponents suffer unspeakably. The harsher Liu Ziguang spoke, the more he showed his fierceness and inner lust. After he, Princess Shang Hou Fangyu, became the prince-consort of the dynasty, she would be able to wear bright red.
Qilin Bu Zi's official uniform, swaggering in front of Liu Ziguang, showing off his power, if he dares to show off his hair again, he will go back and talk to the princess. When the princess comes back to the emperor, the empress will file a complaint.
, where are the good fruits of Liu Ziguang to be eaten?
At present, this matter has entered the formal process. As long as there are no mistakes, the consort is decided. Therefore, Hou Fangyu has been very responsible recently. He rarely even goes out of the house, let alone hangs around the flower streets and willow lanes. The most he can do is to get the money.
Go to Mr. Ge's house to inquire about the rumors and so on.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Although Empress Nangong deliberately kept it from Zhu Cheng, the matter of recruiting Marquis Fangyu as her consort still reached the ears of the eldest princess. It was the Empress who spread the news. Xu Yuanhui was not a person who could keep secrets.
After Zhu Youxiao told her about this, she immediately came to ask Zhu Cheng if he really fell in love with Hou Fangyu?
The eldest princess was stunned. She had never expressed her willingness to marry Hou Fangyu. It was a serious matter. She quickly found her mother to stop it, but Mrs. Qian and Princess Song were both present. The three of them praised Zhu Cheng together.
Hou Fangyu is young, handsome, well-born, erudite, and versatile. Anyway, according to them, Hou Fangyu has no shortcomings at all. As long as you marry him, you will definitely be happy, harmonious, and have a happy life in the future.
Zhu Cheng was thinking about Liu Ziguang in her heart, and there was no room for Hou Fangyu. She was kind-hearted by nature and did not want to contradict her mother in public. She just bit her lips tightly and refused to let go. She refused to agree to the marriage. Princess Song said with a smile: "Princess, are you thinking about your mother?"
If you are willing to get married, I will come back to the palace often to see you after you get married. The empress will inform the emperor that she will not let the consort go out to the capital to serve as an official."
Mrs. Qian also advised: "A woman will get married one day. It was the same in the days before I married my husband. I pestered my mother and refused to get married, and said stupid things about wanting to stay with my parents for the rest of my life. Alas, it became
Once you get married, you will understand that the life of the young couple is also very nourishing."
Zhu Cheng still didn't speak. She was the kind of person who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Although she didn't speak, she did not express her acquiescence. It could only represent her silent struggle. She knew her daughter better than her mother. Naturally, Empress Nangong understood her daughter.
With what was in her mind, she found an excuse to invite Princess Song and Mrs. Qian away, and then began to educate her daughter with sincerity.
Concubine Nangong really put a lot of effort into choosing Hou Fangyu as her consort. To be fair, Hou Fangyu is extremely excellent in every aspect, almost flawless. Being able to marry such a person is a rare thing for any woman. As for her longevity,
The person that the princess cares about is no longer possible to be together. Now Zhu Cheng is no longer the lowly fisherman girl by Hongze Lake, but the noble eldest princess. As the emperor's sister, she is an absolute
You cannot marry someone else as a concubine. This is related to the royal decency and the dignity of the court. It is a red line that cannot be crossed.
After listening to her mother's persuasion, the eldest princess still bit her lip and said nothing. Empress Nangong sighed and said: "As time goes by, you will naturally forget everything. For the sake of your mother and your brother, just agree to this marriage."
Zhu Cheng was silent for a long time, a crystal teardrop slipped quietly from the corner of his eye, and finally nodded silently.
