Compared to the turmoil in the Chen family, the Jin'an County Prince's Mansion was as quiet as ever.
When he heard about breakfast in the inner courtyard, Mr. Gu from the outer courtyard looked up at the sky again.
"This breakfast is really early," he said.
"Your Highness was busy late last night, and now you are in good health. It is appropriate to wake up late when you are tired," Eunuch Jing said.
Mr. Gu snorted.
"It depends on what you are busy with," he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Jing chuckled.
What are you busy with...
The young couple are bickering in front of each other, but they haven't gotten up yet. What can they do...
When Mr. Gu heard him smile, he immediately came back to his senses, looking a little embarrassed and ashamed.
"What are you thinking!" he said.
It was not their place to discuss the Lord's inner chamber.
Eunuch Jing corrected his expression.
"What I think is that if His Highness can continue his bloodline, it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish." He said.
Yes, if His Highness has an heir, the bloodline of Prince Jin'an will be passed down steadily. For Prince Jin'an who has been killed several times, it will be a great joy.
There is nothing more important than continuing the bloodline.
If it were someone else, they might still be a little uneasy and worried, but that woman's child would definitely be able to be protected.
No longer His Highness is working hard alone, but the husband and wife are working together.
Mr. Gu's expression softened.
While the two were talking, someone kicked in from outside the door.
"Eunuch Jing, we've found the long bow," the man said.
Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment.
"What do you need a longbow for?" he asked, looking at the longbow in the man's hand.
Eunuch Jing had already reached out his hand to take it happily and looked at it for a moment.
"Yes, that's what it looks like." He said, happily took the bow and left hurriedly.
Mr. Gu frowned behind him, and then he remembered that someone from the Chen family came yesterday and left holding a bow.
So that’s it.
The princess gave away her long bow, so Eunuch Jing hurriedly found another bow...
No, although Eunuch Jing is a chamberlain, he only has one person who can be charming. He will not take the initiative to find a bow for the princess unless he is instructed by the Prince of Jin'an County.
It seems that I really like it.
Mr. Gu couldn't help but smile.
Either way, it's extremely rare to have someone you really like as your companion, but...
Thinking of this, Mr. Gu couldn't help but shake his head.
But it would be better if, on the other hand, the woman was devoted to His Highness.
Seeing Eunuch Jing personally hanging the long bow on the wall, Prince Jin'an felt a little casual.
"...A good job requires hard work, and you can't waste it in one day." He said, "Take a handful at random, use them first, and then find what you like."
I took a handful at random...
This made them so busy from last night to now that they just jumped into Chen's house and took out the bow and searched for it in one shop after another.
This is the so-called makeup application, and the eyebrows are darkened and darkened.
Eunuch Jing curled his lips.
"When Qi Wan was young, people were valuable, and a single song was worth ten thousand gold." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking at Prince Jin'an and smiling, "Your casualness is enough for me."
Eunuch Jing turned his head in shock and saw the woman holding chopsticks in her hands and eating slowly, with a smile on her lips as she looked at Prince Jin'an who was sitting opposite.
The Prince of Jin'an County also held chopsticks in his hands, but his expression was a little dull at this time.
She knew how much thought His Highness put into it, pointed it out outright, and then said, "I like it..."
I like……
Is this... teasing His Highness?
Eunuch Jin's eyes fell on Prince Jin'an, and he clearly saw the young man's ears slowly turning red.
"That's true." The young man pretended to be a little more free and easy, and stretched his arms slightly, "It's more important to be affectionate than to be polite."
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled and said no more, lowering her head to eat.
The prince of Jin'an County also ate as if nothing had happened. He just drank soup and raised his sleeves to cover up his smile. He could see it clearly from Eunuch Jing's point of view.
Eunuch Jing couldn't help but laugh.
Prince Jin'an put down his soup bowl in a somewhat embarrassed manner and glared at him.
"You can use the small study room."
After dinner, Prince Jin'an said.
"I'll use the outside one."
Smile when you say this.
"Is it okay for me to walk around the house now?"
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"Yeah, no one cares about you now," she said.
Now everyone is paying attention to the prince's marriage.
Prince Jin'an nodded.
"I'm going to listen to what the outside world is saying now," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded and watched Prince Jin'an lead the people out. Not long after, Cheng Jiaoniang wrote a word in the study, and Prince Jin'an came back.
"How do you say it?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
Prince Jin'an didn't look very good.
"What else can I say?" he said, "Some are pushing, some are pulling, some are setting fire, and some are adding oil. Anyway, they all want Chen Xianggong to be roasted on the fire. You don't know Gao Lingbo's methods. This man!
, he is smart and capable, he endures hardships and enjoys blessings, he endures scolding and is praised, I would say he is a gentleman, but he behaves like a villain, let’s call him a villain, he also has the magnanimous demeanor of a gentleman, I
Although I wish he could die, I have to admire his power."
He said and smiled.
"At this time, everyone outside said that it was Mr. Chen who first intended to make his daughter the crown princess, but he regretted it because his wife at home objected."
"There is also news in the palace that the Queen Mother is ill, and the Queen Mother's hospital is in chaos."
Having said this, he sat cross-legged again and leaned towards Cheng Jiaoniang.
"Also, those families who originally entered the palace and wanted to choose a concubine have all chosen their daughters to be married."
Cheng Jiaoniang raised her head and looked at him.
"They say they don't dare to be speculated, so they can only use this to prove that they have no selfish motives." Prince Jin'an said.
You, Mr. Chen, think that the prince is a fool and disdain to marry a daughter, so those of us who marry daughters will also be disliked in the eyes of you, Mr. Chen?
If Mr. Chen dislikes his relatives for selfishly seeking power, then those of us who really marry our daughters are really guilty of evil intentions.
In this case, who would dare to let his daughter become the crown princess?
"There will always be someone who dares." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Just wait."
Prince Jin'an sighed.
"But Mr. Chen is a gentleman," he said. "A gentleman is cautious about independence, so he can be bullied."
This thorn was stuck in Chen Shao's heart and he couldn't pull it out. Even if others stopped talking about it, he himself wouldn't be able to get over it.
Cheng Jiaoniang, who didn't talk much to begin with, became even more silent.
The room became quiet.
Prince Jin'an hesitated and reached out to push her arm.
"Let's go for a walk. It's boring to be bored in the yard all day long." He said, with a bit of complaint, "...I'd better take a walk around the street the day I get home."
"Then we should make a wider circle that day." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The prince of Jin'an County was startled and then burst into laughter.
I think of that day when Eunuch Jing was so smart that he didn't dare to park his car or walk around, so he had to circle around the Prince's Mansion.
This guy actually thought they were doing that kind of thing in a carriage, and I don’t know how he came up with it!
When thoughts of that kind of thing crossed his mind, King Jin'an couldn't help but blush.
"You're teasing me again," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang's expression remained unchanged.
"No." She said seriously.
Seeing her serious look, Prince Jin'an couldn't help but chuckle again.
"You are so interesting." He said, standing up, "Let's go, let's go for a walk in the yard."
As if afraid that Cheng Jiaoniang would not agree, he stretched out his hand to pull her arm.
"...I'm not in good health right now, so I don't feel comfortable walking alone."
"…..Mr. Li is not at home when he goes out…"
Seeing the two people walking out one after another, Banqin and Suxin hurriedly saluted, waiting for them to take a few steps ahead before following them from a distance.
"Sister." Banqin couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "His Highness said that the lady is really interesting. Is the lady really interesting?"
Su Xin smiled.
"In the eyes of the people you like, it's naturally interesting." She laughed softly.
like…
Just like it.
Banqin felt relieved in his heart, but he felt depressed just thinking about what His Highness had said about Chen Shao.
"Then will this matter still happen?" she whispered.
I just said that I missed what the lady said...
Although it is cruel, what can be done?
"When we first established ourselves in Beijing, my wife took me in a car and drove across the street." Su Xin said suddenly.
Banqin looked at her a little confused.
"My wife asked me to look outside. I was passing by Shenxianju at that time. The Shenxianju at that time was not our Shenxianju. She asked me what I saw. I said that it was not as popular as before. She asked me what else I saw.
At that time, it was because Dou Qishang came to mess with the lady, so the lady did something to make her happy, and the business of Shenxianju plummeted. Originally, the lady didn't care at all that he took the passing gods as his own, but he didn't believe it himself and was suspicious.
, and ended up causing trouble for himself." Su Xin said.
Banqin couldn't help but laugh when she thought about what happened at that time.
"So I saw that you have to be kind. Don't think that you are bullying others. When you bully others, you are also bullying yourself." Su Xin continued, "But the lady still asked me what I saw."
Banqin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
The lady has asked so many questions, and I'm afraid I can't answer any of them. However, I also think that the lady never talks nonsense. She is willing to speak because she knows that you can listen to her, so the lady will definitely not ask herself such a question.
She would only ask questions that she could answer.
The smile on Banqin's face spread and she reached out to hold Su Xin's hand.
"You can see so many problems with just one glance?" she said.
"Actually, it's just a question." Su Xin said, smiling slightly, "I couldn't answer it, so my wife told me it was difficult."
"difficult?"
"To do something, to do something well, to stand firm, to stand firm, it is very difficult and not easy."
It has nothing to do with good or evil. Heaven is ruthless and the world is difficult.
Yes, it is really difficult. Who would have thought that Chen Shao would suddenly encounter such a thing.
Banqin sighed softly.
"I wonder how sad Danniang will be if she finds out." She whispered.
Dan Niang is only eleven years old. If the matter is decided like this, she has not even had time to be a young girl and look forward to the person she will marry in the future.
The man a young girl longs for will definitely not be a foolish person.
"That's fine." Su Xin said with downcast eyes.
Without hope there is no despair.
……………………………………………..
There was a solemn atmosphere in Old Mrs. Chen's courtyard. Although there were not many servants in the past, there was no one like today. At first glance, it seemed as if no one lived in the courtyard.
Footsteps sounded softly, and someone walked out of the hall. He looked at Chen Shao who was still kneeling in the courtyard and sighed softly.
"Master, please get up." The old servant whispered, "It's not like you don't know the old master's temper."
Chen Shao looked sad and did not get up.
"What? You can care about whether your children live or leave, and you want to care about me as a father?" Old Mrs. Chen's voice came from the hall, and people also walked out and looked at the old servant, "The cars are all packed."
Are you ready?"
The old servant bowed his head and said yes.
Chen Shao kowtowed.
"You don't need to kowtow to me." Mr. Chen said calmly, "You and I are very familiar with each other. I know your thoughts and you know mine. So there is no need to say those false polite words. I will ask you one more question.
Well, do you want the way of being a minister or the way of humanity?"
"Father." Chen Shao raised his head and his eyes were red, his voice was astringent, "Father also understands his son's current situation. He also understands what will happen if his son makes such a decision. Father also understands what his son is doing for."
"Then you also know that disagreeing with this marriage is actually easier than agreeing with this marriage, right?" Old Mrs. Chen said.
Chen Shao kowtowed and said yes.
"My son knows," he said.
Even though he will be ridiculed and scolded by the outside world, he can get through it as long as he grits his teeth.
"Then you are really reluctant to give up your status and power today?" Old Mrs. Chen said.
Chen Shao kowtowed again, raised his head and straightened his body.
"Father." His voice was choked with sobs, "If my son was really greedy for power, he would not have agreed to support King Qing and establish him as the crown prince."
Supporting a fool as the prince, expelling the Gao family, forcing the Queen Mother to retreat, and doing this series of things will give him a domineering reputation. This reputation will not protect his power and position, but will instead become a thorn in the side of the courtiers. It can be said that this move has already made him
He has enemies on all sides, and you can imagine the risks and pressures he will face.
In comparison, if he joins forces with Zhang Jiangzhou and other Shilin people to adopt the clan to inherit the throne, he will be respected by the new emperor for his contribution to the establishment, and his official career will be prosperous and he will be highly respected.
"Ever since His Majesty was seriously ill and unable to wake up, I have had trouble sleeping day and night."
"I often think of the time when His Majesty and I had long talks, talking about the past and the present. I saw with my own eyes how many great ambitions Your Majesty had, but they have not yet been realized."
"I really can't let go."
Chen Shao choked and kowtowed and leaned down.
"Then it doesn't have to be Dan Niang." Old Mrs. Chen said hoarsely, "Wait a while and be patient, deal with Gao Lingbo, and everything will be easy to talk about."
Chen Shao did not get up.
"Father, I can't wait." He choked and said, "Your Majesty can't wait."
Old Mrs. Chen looked startled, and immediately understood what this meant.
"If the prince's marriage has not been decided next year, there will really be chaos by then." Chen Shao choked with sobs.
next year……
His Majesty will pass away next year, and the foolish prince's marriage and heirs have not yet been decided. There will inevitably be chaos in the court again, and the now-defunct adoptive clan will definitely come forward again.
At that time, the emperor had been seriously ill for a long time, and the remaining reverence had been exhausted. You can imagine how many people had to think differently.
Old Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Shao and slowly shook his head.
"However, you should not be the most anxious about these matters." He said, "When you are in a high position in the court, you should not actually follow the way of a gentleman."
The prince cannot ascend the throne and become emperor. The one who should be most anxious is Gao Lingbo. The one who should come forward to deal with it and find a solution is Gao Lingbo, not Chen Shao.
It is clear that this incident was framed by Gao Lingbo who was trying to gain power and bullied Chen Shao's loyalty, integrity and gentlemanly ways. He poured dirty water on him and completely ruined his reputation.
He endured infamy among the common people and officials, and had to protect the new emperor's power. Once the new emperor established his power, the first person to be eliminated was Chen Shao.
Knowing clearly that this is being plotted by a villain, if you still pursue the gentleman's way, it will be a dead end. What you should do at this time is to abandon the gentleman's way and treat the other person in his own way.
Abandon the way of a gentleman.
Chen Shao raised his head and looked at his father with a look of determination.
"If you turn yourself back and don't shrink, even if you are broad and broad, I will not be afraid; if you turn yourself back and shrink, even if there are thousands of people, I will go." He said slowly, "Zengzi kept his promise, and I dare not forget it."
