When Jia Lian walked in again, Ping'er, who had just been wearing a gorgeous brocade dress, was gone. Instead, under the north window, there was a person sitting, wearing a dark green bottom skirt, a moon-white thin-sleeved shirt, and a light-colored t-shirt.
A girl wearing a belt and maid outfit.
Jia Lian was stunned when he saw it.
Although he could no longer remember Ping'er's specific dress that day, Jia Lian knew that she was probably like that at that time.
From this, Jia Lian knew that this lady did not have a sudden idea, but had already had this intention. Otherwise, how could she have made such preparations? It seems that today was the right time, so she proposed such an initiative to him.
"Second Master Lian is here, you, are you here to see our girl?"
Ping'er, who was picking up the soles of his shoes, saw Jia Lian, seemed to be in a daze, stood up, and greeted Jia Lian timidly.
Jia Lian laughed. Anyway, he felt that Ping'er was usually too sensible. As the master, he was in debt because he didn't like Sister Feng too much. Since she liked this kind of sentiment, he
Why not help her out?
Therefore, Jia Lian also put away some of the righteousness he had cultivated over the years, put on the frivolous look he hated most, strolled over, and said with a smile: "Originally, I came to see you girls, but now, I have changed
Got an idea."
"What...what do you want to do? Don't be rude. Our girl went to see my wife and will be back soon."
"Ruthless, why am I so rude? Is it like this, or is it like this... Jie Jie Jie..."
"嘤嘤嘤."
…
While Jia Lian was playing an exciting and enjoyable little game with his concubine in the house, the upper-class mansion in the middle of the capital received news that the clan's children scolded the emperor and was punished by the emperor to guard the ancestral temple.
This matter didn't seem to be a big deal, and even the emperor didn't seem to have much reaction. He just punished the unscrupulous disciples with minor punishments and severe punishments.
But because this incident happened at such a critical juncture, it is difficult not to speculate. Especially when it is known that the clan members are complaining because they are dissatisfied with the new tax law that the imperial court is about to enact, it is even more intriguing.
In Prince Yun's Mansion, when the third prince knew the news, he thought about it a little and felt that there was a lot of room for maneuver in this matter!
His advisers agreed with him and offered suggestions one after another.
"Your Highness, Third Highness, this is the information given by God regarding the Crown Prince. If we can complete this article well, it will be of great benefit to His Highness's great cause!"
"The prince is already close to the clan and the old ministers in the court. These people are stubborn and stubborn, which makes His Majesty unhappy. Your Majesty wants to implement new policies this time, but these people are obstructing them in many ways. Therefore, Your Majesty has long been angry with the Prince.
Now that this incident has happened again, especially among the clan members who were punished to go to the Ancestral Temple, many of them are people who often walk around the Prince's Mansion. If we spread some words and say that they are disrespectful to His Majesty,
The words came out of the prince's mouth, otherwise, how could that dandy boy have the guts to slander Sheng Gong?
As long as this method is used properly, it is expected that the prince will not be able to argue even though he has hundreds of people. In this way, even if your majesty cannot depose him as the prince, your majesty will be greatly disappointed in him and shake the prince's status in your heart, it is not difficult.
.”
"In addition, Your Highness should, as always, support His Majesty's new policy. According to my judgment, if Your Majesty wants to implement the new tax law and be willing to teach the world's scholars, nobles, and relatives, he must set an example with the clan. However, most of the clan members are conservative and conservative.
, is too stupid and stubborn to surrender, and your Majesty will be in a dilemma.
Therefore, the villain suggested that if His Highness can persuade the people in the clan to support the new deal, even if he fails to achieve full success, as long as His Majesty can see His filial piety and loyalty, and then compare it with the cowardly and incompetent Crown Prince, His Majesty's status in His Majesty's mind will increase.
, it can also give His Highness another chance to win for his future great cause!"
"Finally, seeing that the Emperor's lifetime is approaching, I wonder how prepared His Highness is? If His Highness can come out on top at the Emperor's birthday banquet, and make the Emperor and others like His Highness, then a big deal will be decided. This is the most important thing, compared to
Underlying, the first two arguments are against Xiaodao'er, although they are useful, compared with this, they are like the mountains and rivers and the mighty rivers and seas, they are incomparable."
"It makes sense."
"That makes sense..."
The third prince looked at the crowd of confidants and advisers, and his heart was full of pride.
As a prince who is famous for his elegance and virtue, he has gathered many ambitious people from all over the world for his own use. How can his vulgar and unscrupulous eldest brother compare with him!
But he was born two years earlier, so he is the prince, but he, a wise king praised by everyone, can only bow his head to him and obey his orders all his life?
That's not fair. Look, that position must be his, and it can only be his!
In the Prince's Mansion, the Prince could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
"A bunch of bastards who don't succeed enough and fail more than they do!
"
The prince naturally understood how detrimental today's incident was to him.
Unlike the third prince, he had a concubine who was deeply loved by his father. His concubine had passed away long ago. Therefore, if he wanted to keep his position as prince, he could only rely on the clan and those in the court who were particular about their elders.
A young and orderly old minister.
He has been doing this all these years and has worked hard to do it well. But who knew that since his father ascended the throne, he has shown an increasingly revolutionary attitude and disliked those old ministers, which made him feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
Many times, he felt that his father looked at him with dissatisfaction. He even doubted whether his father really liked him as his eldest son and whether he really wanted him to be the prince!
Therefore, he was very wary of and suppressed the third prince who was very deep in the city.
At first, the third prince tried his best to disguise himself, but later on, I don’t know whether he was completely angered, or whether the third prince felt that he had grown up, and actually no longer concealed his disobedience in front of him, the prince!
He was angry, but he found that in the current situation, he really had no good way to deal with such a third prince.
That's right, even their father has only been on the throne for a few years, and even now he is still more or less under the control of Chonghua Palace. Therefore, even if there is a fight, it will not be their turn yet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But as the prince, he is in the light, and the third prince is in the dark, causing trouble for him everywhere, making him very passive.
It is conceivable that when this incident comes out today, his third emperor brother will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, for fear that his trouble will come soon.
Over the years, the prince has naturally cultivated some confidants. Seeing that his lord was troubled, all of them began to make suggestions.
However, the handle is out there. If you don't have the power to turn things upside down, you can only wait for the other party to make the first move. Where can you find a good strategy?
Suddenly someone said: "I heard that Your Majesty was worried about the fact that he was unable to get support from the clan for the new policy. His Royal Highness has always been close to the clan and won the trust of all the princes. If I can solve this problem for Your Majesty, it will make Your Majesty very happy."
, the immediate adversity is an immediate solution.”
The prince shook his head and said: "Gu He has never thought about it. But the old guys in the clan are very greedy. Over the years, Gu He has treated them badly, but when it comes to using them, he always shirks and perfunctors.
There are few people who are sincere.
These are all things that don’t let go of hawks before they see rabbits, not to mention that this time involves such interests, it’s hard to get them to give up voluntarily.”
"In fact, it is not the case. The reason why the clan insists on opposing the New Deal is based on the laws of the ancestors and greed. As the crown prince, the future ruler of the world, if he can prepare generous gifts and make serious promises,
Then it may not be impossible to say something."
The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this. Yes, it seems that he doesn't need to persuade all the clans. As long as he can persuade a few to let Emperor Ning Kang see his filial piety, isn't that enough?
But then there was still some hesitation. He was too embarrassed to say it. In order to deal with his difficult Third Emperor brother, he had tried to win over the clan, relatives and others over the years. Which of these people has the smallest appetite?
As a result, the prince himself began to feel embarrassed because of money.
This was also the reason why he intervened in the Jiangnan salt policy. Originally, the third prince was ready to bite a big piece of his flesh when the salt policy incident broke out last time. Fortunately, he was well prepared and was able to escape unscathed. Of course, he also sacrificed a lot.
Small price.
At least he had to restrain himself on the salt policy to prevent Emperor Ning Kang from noticing and bringing up the old scandal again.
As a result, his Prince's Mansion will be short of sources, which is something he needs to consider.
Suddenly he remembered that the queen had mentioned to him before that she wanted to give him the daughter of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River as a concubine. She also said in secret that the Zhen family was a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River and how close the ancestors were to the Tian family.
He didn't listen to anything else, but he heard that the Zhen family was acting on behalf of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau on the orders of the Supreme Emperor. What came to his mind was one word: rich.
So he told the story.
"Hahaha, if this is true, it will indeed be a great help to His Highness. Prince, don't think that the Zhen family is not in court and leading the army, but the old lady of the Zhen family is the 'county head' personally named by the great ancestor.
He is quite famous among the clan and nobles, and is rumored to be someone who can speak in front of the Supreme Emperor. That is why the Zhen family has been able to sit in charge of the weaving bureau in Jiangnan for so many years.
No one knows how wealthy the Zhen family is, but everyone who has been to Jinling Province knows that the Zhen family is known as the most famous family in Jiangnan!
Therefore, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can get his help, it will be even more powerful."
When the prince heard this, he finally paid attention to this matter. At the same time, he was secretly happy that the Zhen family was fine. What he was happy about was that he originally thought that the queen was bored to be a matchmaker for him, but he didn't expect that the queen was bored.
There is such a profound meaning behind it. Can it be said that the Queen is optimistic about and supports him?
…
Jia Lian didn't care about the quarrel between the prince and the third prince. As long as these two people didn't come to trouble him, he didn't want to provoke any of them at all.
The emperor is still in his prime, so holding on to his thigh and not thinking about things is the way to get promoted, make a fortune and survive.
Therefore, after Jia Lian returned home, he completely forgot about the affairs in the palace and hugged his beautiful concubine tenderly.
Seeing the tears on her beautiful and clean face, and the bruises on her raised wrists, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel distressed and amused at the same time: "You also have a blind eye, and you don't know how to scream when it hurts."
Ping'er raised his head and glanced at Jia Lian, shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I don't feel any pain. I'm very happy..."
Jia Lian looked at the bed tent speechlessly.
This Ping'er is really a good actor in future generations. When I said I wanted to play with him and reenact the scene, I really got into it, and he acted so sincerely from beginning to end.
Apart from not shouting loudly because he was afraid of attracting people's attention, he had actually experienced the feeling of a handsome young man coercing a maid from a good family.
That is to say, even he was brought in and couldn't help but use some force. It's also Ping'er's fault that he pretended to struggle and struggle just to show off, but she played like the real thing, otherwise with his control
He must be strong enough not to hurt his obedient concubine.
Ping'er could naturally see Jia Lian's self-blame. She smiled, stretched out her Guerlain jade finger to touch Jia Lian's face, and looked at her again to show that she was fine. Then she pushed herself up and tidied the bed curtains.
The two of them were in a mood just now and couldn't care less. Now that she was satisfied, she naturally couldn't keep evidence and let Sister Feng come to trouble her.
Jia Lian didn't say anything to help because he was not afraid of being discovered by Sister Feng at all. He even thought that it would be better for Sister Feng to find out. Nizi had such a poor understanding in this area that she didn't know how to ask for advice when a master-level figure was around.
What a fool.
So he just leaned on the bed and watched Ping'er's actions. Because of his graceful figure and soft limbs, Jia Lian got up again soon and quietly lay down. He hugged Ping'er from behind who was about to put away the cups, saucers and tea cups, "Let the little maids come in and clean up."
, I hurt my hand carefully."
Ping'er looked at the broken cups and saucers on the ground and blushed. Although she had intended to protect her before, the second master's force was too strong. When he pressed her here, many of them were knocked off and some were broken.
, some are not broken.
How could she have the nerve to let the little maids come in to clean up? They might have thought there was a thief.
"Second Master, go find Xiangling, Ping'er, Ping'er can't stand it anymore..."
This was a lie. She just wanted to get rid of Jia Lian so that she could tidy up the house quickly. According to her expectation, Sister Feng would be back soon.
Jia Lian refused, and was about to pick Ping'er up and bully him again, when Xiang Ling's voice sounded outside the corridor: "Second Master, the second master has come to send a message, asking the Second Master to go to the master's outer study."
Jia Lian then slowly put down the delicate and soft Ping'er, kissed her between the white teeth and red lips, and then wiped her mouth and opened the door and came out.
The courtyard was no longer as quiet as when he first came back. The sounds of the little maids laughing and talking in the boiling room, as well as the "ah-ah" sounds of his own baby daughter in the east chamber, could all be heard faintly.
However, there was only one person on the main corridor, and that was the silly maid Xiang Ling.
As soon as the girl saw Jia Lian coming out, she looked him up and down and immediately blushed, lowering her head and not daring to speak.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then walked over and said softly: "When were you here?"
"No, not for a while..."
Listening to her hurried denial, Jia Lian was sure that this girl must have been listening outside.
"Don't make random guesses. I didn't bully your sister Ping'er, let alone beat her..."
Jia Lian tried to explain, but he found that it was unnecessary. Considering that Heping'er was making such a fuss inside, but no one outside came to ask, it must be this girl's credit.
So he gently stroked Xiang Ling's head and said softly: "I really didn't lie to you. Your sister Ping'er and I were playing around. You will know about it in the future."
After saying that, Jia Lian saw that Xiang Ling didn't respond and left.
Little did he know that after he left, Xiangling's innocent and cute little face lifted up, looking at his back with a look full of panic.
What should I do? Could it be that the second master wants to treat me like he did to sister Ping'er...
Thinking of Ping'er's voice of shame, anger, scolding and struggling that she had faintly heard before, she could imagine how miserable Ping'er was treated inside!
By the way, Sister Pinger!
Xiangling thought of something and didn't care about anything. She quickly opened the door and rushed into the west room. All she saw was a neatly dressed Ping'er, bending over two brocade quilts stacked on the heated Kang. Although she looked at
He couldn't see Ping'er's face, but just from her skillful movements and brisk and natural posture, Xiang Ling could tell...
