Jia Cong thought that the major events in Shu had been decided, and all that was left was to wipe out the Tianshi Dao step by step, rectify the officialdom, and build a polytechnic school. He would send a capable instructor to subdue the bandits, and wait for the Taoist priest from the Tianshi Dao to send him.
Some engineers will come. Anyway, there will be no more nonsense. Facts have proved that he is still too naive. Since ancient times, nothing has been done to the royal family.
After Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin got married, the biggest difference between the couple was that Chen Ruijin used to get up early, while Jia Cong liked to sleep in. On this day, Jia Cong tortured Chen Ruijin to lie down for an extra hour, then got up, had breakfast, packed up and went out. They bumped into each other at the door.
After getting on Situ Cen, the fellow jumped off the horse, grabbed Jia Cong and told him: "Don't worry! My brother has a son!"
Jia Cong was stunned: "Ah? He has another concubine?"
Situ Cen smiled and said: "No, it's the youngest one. Not a daughter, but a son."
Jia Cong became even more surprised: "Isn't she a daughter? Lao Qi?"
"Yes." Situ Cen said, "It's been ten months."
Jia Cong was stunned and took him to the study room inside. The two of them had just sat down and had not said a few words when someone came in through the door from outside and came back: "The third princess is here. She said she has something urgent and wants to see the third grandma."
Situ Cen laughed and said, "She's here too?" He ordered someone to go over and say hello, "Just say that I'm here too, and let her finish talking to the third grandma and go back with me. I'm going to be lazy today."
.”
Jia Cong felt something was wrong: "Didn't you two come together?"
"No," Situ Cen said, "I came here from the Yamen."
Jia Cong held his cheek and said: "If this is the case, the news about your wife cannot be faster than you. What urgent matter does she have for my wife? It is a good thing for her that the prince has a son. What is she anxious about? I
Why do I have a weird premonition?"
Situ Cen said hurriedly: "No! There must be no mistake in this matter."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes at him: "Nothing can ever go wrong before it's finished. Because if it's going to be wrong, it's already wrong."
Sure enough, not long after, Chen Ruijin sent the bell to the front. "Third Mistress said, I have something to discuss with His Highness and Third Master. I want you to go over or they should come over."
Jia Cong looked at Situ Cen: "You have also been to the West, so you don't mind me seeing your wife's face."
Situ Cen waved his hand: "I'm not my father." Nai frowned and asked, "What's the matter with your third grandma?"
Lingdang said loudly with a sullen face: "Third Grandma didn't allow me to tell anyone."
Jia Cong clapped his hands: "You're right!" Nai stood up and said, "How can we let a lady walk such a long way? Let's go there."
The two then rushed to Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin's yard at the back. The two ladies were sitting in the east wing at the moment. Jia Cong was happy when he saw them. Mr. Qiu was dressed very neatly. He didn't bother to distinguish the gorgeous clothes. His hair was full of pearls.
It is obviously quite heavy, as is the case for women when they go out to meet guests. Chen Ruijin got up late today and was at home again. He was wearing homely clothes and didn't even wear earrings. He only had two jade hairpins in his hair. Qiu frowned.
Suo Duan was sitting upright, holding a handkerchief in his hand; Chen Ruijin was lazily leaning on the pillow, holding a doll Pikachu in his hand. The two beauties complemented each other perfectly.
The bell came up to sift tea for Jia Cong and Situ Cen. Chen Ruijin said, "You stay here while everyone else goes out." There were two people brought by Mrs. Qiu in the room. Hearing this, Mrs. Qiu looked at her. Mrs. Qiu nodded.
The people retreated. Chen Ruijin casually stuffed Pikachu into Qiu's arms, and Qiu sighed softly.
Just now, the imperial concubine sent her wet nurse and hurried to find Mrs. Qiu to tell her about the seventh princess of the imperial family suddenly turning into a boy. The wet nurse said with tears: "Our empress said that she knew how unkindly she was treated in the past few days.
Open and bright. Now that life and death are at stake, I come to beg you... Even if I don't help her, it's nothing. I just ask you to be merciful and save our mother's life. She is really unjust!"
Situ Cen was confused when he heard this: "What's wrong with the second sister-in-law?"
Chen Ruijin said briefly: "The mother of seven princesses stole a dragon and turned into a phoenix."
Everyone in the house was shocked: "What?!"
Jia Cong blurted out: "Is there any evidence?"
Chen Ruijin turned his head and pinched the ear of Pikachu in Qiu's arms and said calmly: "What else do you want if you have evidence?" Jia Cong let out a exhausted hey.
Mrs. Qiu said hurriedly: "Third Grandma, I don't understand."
Chen Ruijin looked at the bell and said, "Just now you heard about the story of the seventh princess suddenly turning into a boy. Tell us again." The bell responded.
It turns out that a little eunuch next to the prince today sneaked behind the rockery rocks to relieve himself when no one was around. He heard a female voice saying: "Our little prince and grandson are getting better and better. They are as white and fat as a New Year doll." In his heart.
Nahan. Where did the princes and grandsons come from among the seven princesses in the prince's house? Moreover, it is still early in the morning, so there will be no guests. Besides, now the prince only has two princes and grandsons, both of whom are the fourth. The fourth and his own prince
They were mortal enemies. How could his family come to the Prince's Mansion so early in the morning? He quickly slipped out and looked around. He saw two maids in front of the rockery carrying food boxes and walking away with a smile, so he followed quietly behind them.
Following her all the way was Fan Meiren, who had just given birth to the seventh princess at the beginning of the year. Fan Meiren had been pampered for a while before, but love made her petty, and the prince gradually became annoyed with her. Fortunately, she was pregnant before she fell out of favor.
Unfortunately, she was still a girl. When the two maids entered the courtyard, the door was immediately locked. The little eunuch listened at the door for a while, as if he heard a woman laughing and complimenting the little grandson on how fat he was.
The young eunuch did not dare to disturb the prince when he returned, so he reported the matter to an old eunuch. The old eunuch was shocked when he heard this, and immediately went to Fan Meiren's courtyard to check. When the young eunuch replied, it happened that an eunuch who had benefited from the prince's concubine heard him.
He quickly sent a message to his confidant secretly to the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine immediately sent a little maid with a sharp ear and eyesight to check on Fan Meiren. After a while, the little maid hurried back and said: "Fan Meiren, that little princess has become a little prince grandson!"
The imperial concubine only thought for a moment before she broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly sent her wet nurse to Qiu for help.
After everyone listened and thought about it for a long time, Situ Cen asked: "How come she has changed from one person to another?"
Chen Ruijin said: "I just asked the third princess, and she said that the princess's personality is a bit opaque, but she has been extremely thoughtful since she was a child." Mrs. Qiu nodded. "An extremely thoughtful woman is also a husband who has countless wives.
She has seven daughters, but she only has one daughter. She will never allow her husband's wife to have a son. What's more, she is a wife who has fallen out of favor."
Both Situ Cen and Qiu were at a loss. Only Jia Cong clapped his hands: "I understand." He looked at Situ Cen and said, "Think about it, if you were the Crown Princess..." He dusted his hands and said, "Forget it.
"She turned to look at Qiu, "Suppose you are the Crown Princess. Now there is a disgraced, low-status beauty giving birth to a child. What should you do? According to the Crown Princess's carefulness, what should be done in her own best interests."
Qiu said: "Of course this beauty died of illness, and the imperial concubine adopted the little prince and grandson."
Jia Cong nodded: "Not bad."
Situ Cen still didn't understand: "What does this have to do with stealing a dragon and turning into a phoenix?"
Jia Cong stretched out a finger: "First of all, I don't think it's definitely a case of stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix into a phoenix, although this possibility accounts for 90%. We have to check whether this Fan beauty comes from a particularly capable family, and
Either she is good at medicine or the grandmother around her is good at medicine. Or maybe my Chinese medicine is unfathomable, and the child can be separated into male and female before he is born, so prepare early."
Chen Ruijin said: "Then how did she avoid the Wen Po when the child was born?"
Jia Cong spread his hands: "I don't know. In this world, there is nothing you can't think of and nothing you can't do. If everything can be prepared in advance, it is possible. She is not favored anyway. How did she bribe Po Wen, but the son she gave birth to was retaliated.
It’s a daughter. I’m afraid the Crown Princess will kill her and take away her son.”
Mrs. Qiu suddenly understood: "Suppose she gave birth to a daughter, and later managed to bring in a son from outside to raise her. Now that a mother values her son, she can just fabricate some evidence and falsely accuse the prince's concubine of having assassinated the prince's male heir.
"
Jia Cong said: "She doesn't need to fabricate evidence, she only needs to arouse the prince's suspicion. There is no need to raise suspicions: Why did the disgraced beauty bribe Wen Po and force the baby boy to reveal the baby girl? What is she afraid of? The prince does not doubt the prince.
Who else can the concubine suspect? How troubled the royal family of the Shu Kingdom is if the prince has no male heir! You two will almost never get married. Once the prince and concubine are accused of such a serious crime, in line with the principle of preferring to believe that she has a son and not trust her without a son, even if
Even if you don't die, you have to be deposed. Fan Meiren is safe as the next Crown Princess."
Chen Ruijin said: "But she is a low-status beauty who has fallen out of favor. Where did she get this ability? No matter whether she can coax a stable woman or steal a dragon and turn her around, it is extremely difficult."
Qiu said: "It is extremely difficult to coax old lady Wen. After the little princess is born, it will be much easier for a baby boy of the same age to enter the house."
Situ Cen couldn't help but jump up: "Wait a minute! You are saying that Fan Mei gave birth to a daughter, and then raised a baby boy from outside, and now she pretends that she gave birth to a son?"
"No!" Jia Cong said with an innocent face, "The idiom is wrong. It should be said to cheat."
Situ Cen said: "Don't my brother tell Po Wen to come back and confront her?"
Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Yes! Wen Po! Hurry up and find out whether Wen Po is dead or alive. If she is dead, she must be a thief; if she is alive, quickly arrest her and interrogate who bought her and when.
Go quickly, go quickly!" He stepped forward and pushed Situ Cen, "It's better to get ahead of your brother! I hope your brother is busy with all kinds of things and doesn't have time to find Po Wen. If he dies, quickly find out who killed him.
By the way, we can solve the problem of who is going to help this Fan Meiren change her child, since she herself does not have the ability."
Situ Cen rushed outside in a few steps and called a confidant who was with him. He hurriedly gave some words to send the man away. After watching him disappear, he returned to the house. The big yellow stuffed doll returned to Jia Jia.
In the hands of the third grandmother, the two women frowned, and Jia Cong drooped the corners of his mouth. He quickly asked: "Where are you talking about?"
Jia Cong pursed his lips and said: "My wife is analyzing and wondering whether and how the Crown Princess should be treated as a helper. I was just a spectator, and her scalp was numb from both of her comments."
"How can I help the crown prince in such a big event!" Situ Cen said, "We must not confuse the blood of the Tian family."
Chen Ruijin said: "People are accustomed to judging themselves and others. If you think too much, you often feel that others think too much. You are petty. Even if you pretend to be generous, you will guess that others are petty. In the morning, the princess sent her wet nurse to ask for help from the third princess. The few words she said were in a hurry.
Shit, I never thought about it carefully. Although this matter is of life and death for her, isn't it a big deal for the country and the family? She is only afraid that the third princess will not help her because she is not open-minded. "
Jia Cong held his cheek and said, "What does it mean not to be open?"
Qiu thought about it for a moment: "You are a bluffing person who wants to secretly suppress others by relying on your status and rules."
Jia Cong said with a smile: "She probably cares about her own face, and is afraid that others will do the same to her. She said this out of sheer panic."
Situ Cen was confused again: "Why can't I understand what you are saying today?"
Qiu glanced sideways at him and said angrily: "Prince Princess, I'm afraid I'm as petty as she is. I care about trivial matters and won't help her."
Jia Cong said: "Your wife has to help her with such a big thing. However, sometimes people are not willing to receive favors, especially those who think they are superior to others and whose status is not stable. When this matter is over, although she will be grateful to you
My daughter-in-law may also secretly resent that I owe her such a huge favor. I have never been afraid of speculating on human beings with the greatest malice. I think of the worst results first and find countermeasures in advance. In the end, it is better if the truth is not that bad.
"
Situ Cenqi said: "So what? What can she do?"
Qiu sighed: "She may not be able to do anything. It's just that I didn't meet her with my head down, and if she wants to get in front of me, and thinks about owing me a huge favor..."
Chen Ruijin interjected: "I'm jealous that your man treats you well and lives a comfortable life."
Qiu continued: "You want to be friends with me again, but I am impatient to interact with her. But I can't avoid her."
Jia Cong looked at Situ Cen and concluded: "Except for her status, the Crown Princess can't compare with your wife in any way. But people have a natural tendency to yearn for beautiful things and a happy life. She hopes that your wife will have a relationship with her without caring about her noble status.
Well, your wife is not willing to meet her expectations. That's probably what it means." He turned to look at his wife. Chen Ruijin nodded. "If she owes your wife a favor, it will break the 'identity' vs.
"Happiness' balance, my future dealings with your wife may be more hypocritical and less sincere."
Situ Cen thought for a long time and suddenly clapped his hands: "I understand! You women are so troublesome, you think too much!"
Jia Cong also said: "That's right! If you don't like to interact with each other, just don't interact with each other~~" The two women rolled their eyes at the same time. Jia Cong touched his chin and said, "That... person who has too many tricks and cannot be repaired is quite...
Annoying hahahaha...ah!" He suddenly understood why Chen Ruijin was so entangled with his cousin a few days ago about whether to use the bell or not. People with selfish thoughts and strong opinions are difficult to control and are easily bitten back. He said that that day
It's confused.
Jia Cong's greatest strength is that he doesn't care about face. He hurriedly approached Chen Ruijin, hugged her neck and bit her ear: "Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry~~" Chen Ruijin glanced at him inexplicably. Jia Cong said again, "I know you
Why are you hesitating to use that cousin? It’s because I didn’t think well and thought it was simple.” Chen Ruijin snorted. Jia Cong smiled and cupped his hands, turned back to his chair. Looking up, Qiu lowered his head and drank tea.
Situ Cen twitched the corner of his mouth. Jia Cong hurriedly explained: "Ah, um... you may have misunderstood. Let's have a few words of respect."
Situ Cen also lowered his head and ate his tea: "We did not misunderstand. We know that you speak your mind."
