Su Mingzhe stretched himself and was about to leave the palace, heading to Bianliang to visit Tang An'an's mother and son, and to comfort Xie Daoqing, Jia Yuhua and other women.
Suddenly there was an announcement outside the door, which made Su Mingzhe hesitate:
"Your Majesty, Kunning Palace has come to report that the Queen has hosted a small banquet. Please come and attend the banquet!"
When Su Mingzhe heard this, he immediately drove Tang Anan and other women out of his mind:
"Show off in Kunning Palace!"
On the way to Kunning Palace, although Su Mingzhe was excited, he couldn't help but think about the purpose of Xiao Longnu inviting him there this time.
You must know that since he added women again and again, Xiao Longnu's love for him has long since lost its original love.
The last time Xiao Longnu invited her to a banquet, it was because Prince Su Hui had turned twelve and wanted to learn to participate in politics.
Now, after so many years, he is invited to a banquet again. Is it because of the prince's affairs?
With complicated thoughts, Su Mingzhe came to Kunning Palace. Before he got off the carriage, he saw Xiao Longnu and Wanyanping dressed up to welcome him, and his eyes lit up.
In the past, Xiao Longnu liked to wear white clothes and skirts, with a pure and cold temperament.
Although Xiao Longnu has a beautiful and fragrant appearance, her appearance is still like that of a sixteen-year-old girl, but Su Mingzhe will always feel a little aesthetic fatigue after watching it for a long time.
Today, Xiao Longnu changed into a red palace dress, and seemed to have a little rouge on her cheeks and lips. Her originally fair and jade-like skin became a bit more seductive due to its whiteness.
When she bowed down, Su Mingzhe's eyes followed the neckline of the palace skirt and saw the deep ravine that made people yearn for it.
If they weren't already an old married couple, Su Mingzhe would really have his eyes sunk in and couldn't pull them out.
Even so, he quickly walked two steps, helped Xiao Longnu stand up, then hugged the woman's soft waist and scolded softly:
"Long'er, how many times have I told you that we are one husband and wife, so we don't need these false etiquettes!"
As he got closer, Su Mingzhe saw Xiao Longnu's pair of phoenix eyes, like stars, her black hair naturally hanging down her shoulders, and her fragrant teeth.
Watching Su Mingzhe helping her sister up, fascinated, but leaving herself aside, Wanyanping naturally felt a little sour in her heart.
However, thinking of the purpose of tonight's banquet, Wanyanping could only put aside her thoughts, took the initiative to take the man's arm, and walked towards the depths of the palace together.
Halfway through the banquet.
Xiao Longnu proposed that the prince wanted to marry Queen Jie, the wife of the Taifu Wang E.
Su Mingzhe, who was originally drunk and lustful, suddenly sobered up.
Xiao Longnu was a little surprised when she saw the man suddenly sitting up straight, and blurted out:
"No?"
"Of course not!"
Su Mingzhe looked at Xiao Longnu's clear and bright eyes and nodded with intention, but in his mind he couldn't help scolding the prince:
"This little brat will really cause trouble for me!"
Not to mention, this Wang Jie is the aunt of Concubine De and Wang Chen, so the issue of status is the most likely to cause disputes in public opinion.
The biggest problem is that Wang Jie is the daughter of Taifu Wang E.
Even if Su Mingzhe endures his nausea and agrees to the marriage, then Taifu Wang E will probably not marry his daughter to the prince.
Seeing Xiao Longnu looking at him doubtfully, Su Mingzhe hesitated for a moment and pushed Wang E out as a shield:
"Grand Tutor Wang E is a great scholar of our time. Although he is a minister of the Jin Dynasty, he first surrendered to the Tatars and then to me. In fact, he attaches great importance to etiquette and status!"
Hearing the man using Wang E as an excuse, Xiao Longnu was still hesitating whether she should 'force others to do something difficult', but Wanyan Ping said with a cheerful smile:
"If Mrs. Wang agrees to this marriage, Your Majesty will not have any objections, right?"
"As long as Taifu Wang agrees, I will naturally be willing to become a man of beauty!"
Su Mingzhe didn't believe that Wang E would agree to this marriage, so he pretended to be generous at this moment.
??????55.??????
"Then I would like to express my gratitude to the prince first!"
Wanyanping originally thought Su Mingzhe would disagree, but she didn't expect Su Mingzhe to nod so easily. When she felt happy, she wanted to throw herself into the man's arms and let him pamper her.
Su Mingzhe's eyes were all about Little Dragon Girl at the moment, so he didn't care about Wanyan Ping's life or death. He picked up Little Dragon Girl and walked towards the bedroom.
The scent of flower dew hanging from the curtains makes the lingering wine smell even stronger.
Although Xiao Longnu is not good at charm, she is the source of charm.
These are things that Wanyanping cannot catch up with.
…
A few days later, Qingming Festival passed.
Su Mingzhe took some concubines, princes, princesses, and distinguished disciples to the Chengde Palace.
Just the day after Su Mingzhe left.
Xiao Longnu invited the wife of Grand Tutor Wang E to Kunning Palace.
A few more days passed.
As soon as Su Mingzhe arrived at the Chengde Palace, he received news from Xiao Longnu that Taifu Wang E had agreed to marry his daughter to the crown prince as his concubine.
Su Mingzhe was very surprised by this result.
In his impression, Wang E was a rather rigid scholar and should not have agreed to this matter.
With doubts, Su Mingzhe called Wanyanping to the dormitory and asked:
"Ping'er, you already knew that when your sister opens her mouth, Wang E will definitely agree, right?"
"I don't know what your Majesty is talking about."
Naturally, Wanyanping would not admit that Su Mingzhe was tricked by her.
When Su Mingzhe saw this, he was not in a hurry.
At night, Su Mingzhe took Wanyanping to a hot spring to take a bath, and tortured the woman to extract a confession.
Although Wanyanping has a delicate temperament, she stubbornly refuses to admit it.
After all, it was the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the crime could be big or small. She would not give in after being tortured by Su Mingzhe.
When Su Mingzhe saw the woman's harsh words, he ordered the palace maid to bring the things he had used to bully Guo Fu and Guo Xiang.
Wanyanping, who was already exhausted, quickly started crying and begging for mercy in front of various torture instruments:
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. He must have guessed the cause and effect. Why bother to ask the truth——"
"I just want you to admit it yourself!"
Su Mingzhe skillfully used various torture instruments, which made Wanyanping miserable, and she reluctantly confessed:
"Your Majesty has already guessed that it was Taifu Wang who was responsible for my sister's abandonment. Taifu Wang felt that he owed my sister, so when my sister spoke, Taifu Wang would not dare to refute my sister's face no matter how stubborn she was!"
Wan Yanping told the story of the cause and effect, but Su Mingzhe still didn't give a good look and continued to ask:
"When did you sisters know about this?"
Wanyanping saw that the man was not relenting and actually took out another instrument of torture. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she could only continue to confess:
"When His Majesty ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Taifu Wang apologized to my sister through his wife. My sister was kind-hearted and did not blame him. He was always grateful to my sister. Later, my sister knew that he was knowledgeable and recommended him.
Became the Crown Prince and Tutor..."
Although Wanyanping had brought everything into play, the hostility in Su Mingzhe's heart was aroused by her. This night was destined to be something she would never forget.
the next day.
Su Mingzhe walked out of the bedroom feeling refreshed and began to write a handwritten edict for Liu Bingzhong, who was assisting the crown prince.
Some time ago, after learning that the prince was inciting the ministers to force the palace, Su Mingzhe prepared to give the throne to the prince.
After all, for him, after the goal of 'driving out the Tartars and unifying the world' is achieved, the so-called Nine-Five Supreme Throne is far less important than family ties.
But this time, Xiao Longnu and Wan Yanping deceived him together, which made Su Mingzhe lose the last bit of interest in the profession of 'emperor'.
