Wang Wanrou looked at the extremely bad face, raised her eyebrows slightly, and was about to turn her head to stare at Cheng Jinyang, but Princess Nankang turned sideways, blocking her gaze.
"Wanrou." The princess sister smiled, "I heard at noon that you had an inauthentic noodle restaurant, so my sister specially chose an authentic restaurant this time. Is it suitable for the taste?"
"This side..." Wang Wanrou tasted it, "It's really greasy."
"If it's greasy, scoop the oil on the surface." The princess sister took the spoon and scooped the soup for her without saying a word.
"Too salty." Wang Wanrou's eyelids twitched.
She wanted to make a few sarcastic words, but she knew that the princess sister was not kind this time. If she really broke up and became arrogant, she would definitely suffer.
"If it's too salty, it's just right to serve it." The princess sister went to the side to pour boiled water and brought it to her.
Cheng Jinyang was shocked from behind.
What does it mean to have a scholar meet a soldier? If you understand, you will understand. It turns out that Miss Wang can bully this way, write it down immediately.
Wang Wanrou's face remained unchanged. She washed the noodles in white water, ate half of them silently one by one, and then wiped her mouth with a napkin and said:
"I appreciate your kindness. But next time I don't have to worry so much, I will go with Jinyang to eat."
"Wanrou doesn't have to be polite." Seeing that she was giving in on her face, the princess sister put away her coercive attitude of not smiling and said, "Young girls should go out and walk around more, otherwise they would stay in the room all day long.
My body is not good either.”
"Your Highness is saying." Wang Wanrou smiled slightly.
Seeing her smile like this, Cheng Jinyang immediately became a little scared.
This is about making enemies!
"Well, let's not talk about this." He hurried out to smooth things over. "Wanrou, since you are willing to go out, why don't we go out for a midnight snack tonight?"
...
After walking around the underground city, everyone realized that everything is expensive here, but the staple food and mushrooms are not expensive.
The reason is that staple food and mushrooms (vitamin sources) can be produced by themselves here, but the underground agricultural base is insufficiently illuminated, so the taste is not good; other meat and vegetables are imported from outside, so the taste is normal, but the price is much more expensive.
Of course, the price here is also for ordinary residents. For a proud daughter like Miss Wang, even if the price increases by ten times, it can be afforded.
I ate greasy mushroom noodles at noon, but it was just a surprise that someone took the wrong store.
In the barbecue restaurant, watching the princess sister put a few grilled skewers into Cheng Jinyang's bowl, Wang Wanrou narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled:
"Jinyang, Your Highness really treats you as a brother."
Cheng Jinyang didn't know what she was selling in the gourd, but it was definitely not a good medicine, so he could only pretend to be dull and remain silent.
"Jinyang and I have known each other for a long time. When we were studying under the teacher, we also took him for a while." The princess sister also smiled and said, "The teacher treats me very kindly, how can I not treat Jinyang well?"
Have known each other for a long time? Cheng Jinyang didn't care about eating, so he quickly searched through his original memory.
"So that's it." Wang Wanrou said with a smile, "It's just a little better. I'll be jealous of him when I see him. If His Highness gets married in the future, will the prince consort also want to be jealous of Jinyang?"
Before the two of them could speak, she seemed to remember something again and said with a smile:
"Oh, the day before yesterday, Lord Zhongshu was discussing His Highness's marriage with his father. The empire had two civil wars in a row, and the power of strong branches and weak trunks was already established. Yu Si'ao from the Shenwu Army was about to retire and retire. He always wanted to
There is a trustworthy person to keep in check."
Princess Nankang's face changed when she said this, and even her mood to continue barbecuing disappeared instantly.
Among the four military towns of the Empire, the strongest was the Longxiang Army, followed by Shenwu, and the cavalry again, and the flying bear most.
Since the arrival of the south, the Longxiang Army has been firmly controlled by the Wang family in Taiyuan. The Sima royal family has planted many royal family members into the Shenwu Army, thus mastering the army as much as possible to maintain the balance of strength between the east and west sides.
However, most of the children of the royal family are middle and low-level officers, but they cannot be the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army. After all, they are also bleeding from the Sima family. If they control one of the four armies, what is the difference between it and the ancient vassal kings who had regular troops?
Although there is no Li Shimin or Zhu Di in this world, everyone understands the simplest political principles. Those with reputation must not be given strength, otherwise they will be pushed to the throne.
Therefore, the top leaders of the Shenwu Army have always been the most trusted ministers of the emperor.
The situation is different now: the young emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager was regent, and the Zhongshuling was the eldest brother of the empress dowager. This successor to the Shenwu Army was not so much to make the "the emperor trusted" but rather to say that it was "the Yu family trusted".
However, Yu Yuangui's plan was even further away. After the failure of Wang Chuzhong's rebellion, the Wang family in Taiyuan lost control of the Longxiang Army and temporarily ruled the army by Tao Shixing.
Tao Shixing was older than Yu Si'ao. As soon as the old man retired, Yu Yuangui immediately took the Longxiang Army in his hand to ensure his deterrence to the gentry group.
In this way, the gentry group will not be able to let the Yu family take control of the Shenwu Army again, otherwise the Yu family will have the second place, and everyone will just regard you as the emperor.
In other words, after Yu Si'ao retires, the Shenwu Army will face an embarrassing situation: the people from the Yu family will never accept it; if people from the five surnames will take the throne, the Sima clan in the army will definitely do it.
rebel.
In other words, the candidate is best from a gentry, but it has to make the Sima family feel that they are their own people, and Yu Yuangui has to barely recognize it... So wouldn't it be better to find a gentry as his son-in-law?
This is also the reason why Wang Wanrou was talking about this at this time that Yu Yuangui and Wang Maohong were discussing this matter:
To this day, princess, you can marry whoever you want. The position of the prince-consort must be compromised at the same time before you can decide.
After being silent for about thirty minutes, the princess sister thought clearly about the relationship, and her eyes looked at Wang Wanrou differently than before.
"Can you influence your father's decision?" Since she said this, she was too lazy to pretend, so she simply asked straightforwardly, "How do I remember that your Taiyuan Wang heir is your third brother?"
"I just need to tell my father that he would marry Jinyang, and he would not be the prince consort." Wang Wanrou said with a smile.
Cheng Jinyang was shocked by the side: What, Wanrou wants to marry me?
Hahaha, Wanrou still loves me, but she said this in front of the princess sister, which made her unable to get out of the market.
Oh, you must fall in love with each other and don’t quarrel!
He racked his brains and tried to think of some words to ease the scene, but he didn't know that the same words fell into the princess's ears, but they meant completely differently.
The Wang family in Taiyuan, a noble daughter of five surnames, can she be the concubine of the prince consort?
If Wang Maohong really favored his younger daughter and was willing to interfere in decision-making for her, then whether Cheng Jinyang is the son-in-law or the son-in-law of the Wang family in Taiyuan will become a political struggle between the Wang family and the foreign relatives group.
Wang Wanrou, you are really a poisonous person. You can threaten to provoke a full-scale conflict between aristocratic families and relatives for your own selfish desires!
Thinking of this, a cold light gradually emerged in her eyes and she sneered:
