4. The White Moonlight of the Grim Regent (3)
In Chengyu Palace, the cups and cups have been changed again and again. The emperor and the empress left the seat at the right time, leaving only their confidants to watch, allowing everyone to drink and have fun more.
After no one dared to persuade her to drink, Mr. Xie, who had talked to her friends about her old friends, she wanted to give her son Jie (Xuan) and Shao (Yao) to her friends. She just looked up and saw that there was no one on Xie Muzhi's seat. He pulled the drunken Xie Shiyilang passing by: "Where is your ninth brother?"
Xie Shiyilang was stunned and woke up most of the time. He stuttered: "Brother Nine, Brother Nine has just gone out..."
Mr. Xie: “…”
He snorted coldly and said with a headache: "This brat never lets me worry!"
Mr. Ge next to him stroked his beard and smiled. He admired the two poems that Xie Muzhi had just written very much: "With such a good man, why should Brother Xie be concerned about the mere little details?"
Mr. Xie shook his head and sighed: "He is still so willful and arbitrary, and he is really spoiled by his family," he turned around and scolded Shiyilang, "Don't imitate your brother. With some talent, he thinks he can look down on the world!"
Xie Shiyilang responded repeatedly, but was complaining wildly in his heart: Can you be more sincere when you say this? The kind of pride that "I am just talented but look down on you is so humming" can't be concealed at all!
...
After the full moon banquet of the twelfth prince, the weather gets hotter and time flies, and summer comes soon.
The hot weather makes people tired, but the actions of Concubine Xie in the palace were like a thunder, which made everyone who was sensitive to the direction of the wind and always paid attention to the imperial city sober.
The twelve year of Yongping is destined to be a year of unsettled peace. Since the birth of the twelfth prince, it has been filled with the storm.
On May 16, Concubine Xie of Yongjia Palace requested an order to hire a wife for the sixth prince Muru.
In Fengyi Palace, the queen accidentally dropped the teacup.
"Concubine Xie...Ge family..." She clenched her fingers, her eyes becoming colder inch by inch.
The emperor is a person who values birth, and his biological mother was born with a humble prince, and he was often sent to his fiefdom as soon as he became an adult. In the harem, the only background that could be comparable to her was Concubine Xie. Back then, it was precisely because Concubine Xie gave birth to the sixth prince that she felt aroused her heart and couldn't help but adopt the seventh prince Murong Zhao, whose biological mother had passed away.
Over the years, seeing the Sixth Prince grow to sixteen years old, what she is most worried about is the marriage of the Sixth Prince.
If you don’t get married, you are not an adult. She can trust him to study in Wuyi Pavilion with confidence. If you become a relative, can you not be named the king and open the mansion? Once you are appointed as the king, you can participate in the government affairs! With the emperor’s ambiguous attitude and the influence of Xie, the sixth prince is likely not to go to the fiefdom, but stay in the imperial capital!
The sixth prince has grown up with her twelfth prince for 16 years. When the twelfth prince grows up, the sixth prince has supported Xie's family and has been in charge for several years. Even if the twelfth prince is a legitimate child, he is afraid that his status will be unstable!
"The Empress is angry, have you figured out how to deal with it?" Today, the Queen's mother, Mrs. Wei, came to visit her, and she also heard the news. She was much more experienced than the Queen. After listening to the report from the internal supervisor, she only moved her eyebrows.
Queen Wei reluctantly calmed down and snorted coldly: "So what if you get married and become a king? The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince now have all been named kings? When he becomes married, he just happened to send him to the fiefdom as usual. I think what else can Xie make?"
Mrs. Wei shook her head and sighed slightly: "I'm afraid it won't work. Your father told me that according to Your Majesty's attitude, he wanted to keep the Sixth Prince in the imperial capital. Besides, Concubine Xie has never fought a war that is unsure. She must have made an agreement with Ge to dare to be so confident."
"What does mother mean?"
"Sometimes, retreating is to advance better." After saying this sentence meaningfully, in the queen's confused eyes, Mrs. Wei wrote two words on the table with her fingers.
Prince.
The crown prince was appointed! Instead of forcing the emperor to drive the sixth prince to his fiefdom, he took this opportunity to ask the emperor to enthrone the twelfth prince as the crown prince! In this way, the twelfth prince naturally took the rightful justice!
Queen Wei's eyes lit up. But she thought about it and then, but she was still a little unwilling to accept it: "Then let the son of the bitch be allowed to attract people in the imperial capital?"
Mrs. Wei smiled: "Don't you still have a seventh prince? He is about the same age as the sixth prince, and it's time to be crowned as the king and open the mansion."
"He is not my biological son..." Queen Wei frowned.
"It is precisely because he is not a parent-child of the Empress, that he can use it as a blade, and teach him to check and balance with the Sixth Prince and fight with each other. In this way, the twelfth Prince can rest assured when he becomes an adult."
"You are still smart!" After thinking carefully, Queen Wei couldn't help but admire her. Of course, she knew that after her mother's words, her father would definitely be instructed. Only a cunning politician like Lord Wei can see the situation clearly in advance and come up with a solution.
Thinking of her parents as support to the entire Wei family, Queen Wei finally smiled calmly.
Xie, when my son ascended to the Great Treasure in the future, I will definitely make you regret fighting with me today!
So, to a certain extent, Concubine Xie and Empress Wei reached an agreement and each tried their best in the direction they wanted.
The most important person, the emperor, still has an ambiguous attitude towards this.
On May 18th, the emperor issued an imperial edict to all officials. The general meaning was: "Now my sixth son and seventh son have grown up, and it is time to be well-versed in political affairs and share my worries." So, "then he conferred the sixth prince Xu as King Cheng, and the seventh prince Zhao as King Yong, and he chose a date to open a palace." He ordered King Cheng to join the Ministry of Personnel and King Yong to join the Ministry of Revenue.
As soon as the order was issued, Concubine Xie was mixed with joy and sorrow.
In Yongjia Palace, Concubine Xie frowned and asked her son: "What do you think your father means?"
Murong Xu thought about it and smiled casually: "Lao Qi is the same age as me. The queen wants to check and balance me, so she naturally has to carry him up. However, his mother's family is not obvious. Wei's family has twelve princes, so she will not do her best for him, so she is not afraid of it."
Concubine Xie hated him: "You know that your mother is talking about your marriage! Who cares about Murong Zhao? If it weren't for being kept by the queen, he wouldn't even be worthy of carrying shoes for my son!"
Murong Xu Yang's eyebrows and said unhappily: "I have never seen Miss Ge before. What does my mother want me to say? Now that I have successfully won the title of king and found a mansion, so what if I get married a few years later? Of course, it is so many that women want to marry me as my wife and concubine."
Concubine Xie sighed in her heart: What she wants is not Miss Ge, but the power of the Ge family in the literary stream! However, her son was used to being spoiled by her since childhood and did not take anything seriously. If she explained this to him like this, it would probably arouse his rebellious mentality.
She coaxed: "Since ancient times, my parents are all the words of matchmakers. Don't you believe in the mother's eyes? In a few days, the annual green-picking banquet will be held. At that time, all ladies from all families will be present. If you want to meet, see you again at that time! Although Miss Ge is not famous, it is because of their Ge family tutoring. In comparison, they are also the best girl in the imperial capital!"
As she said that, she remembered a rhyme: "Speaking of this, your cousin Muzhi should get married. Your aunt was sick at home for several days to force him to go to Caiqing Banquet to see her!"
Murong Xu was very interested: "Oh? Will my cousin ninth go there at that time?"
"Ten **. Although he is a little casual and unruly outside, he is very filial to your aunt."
"I wonder which lady my cousin will marry?" Murong Xu murmured. He passed the famous lady in the imperial capital in his mind, and couldn't think of anyone standing next to that person, which was enough to match.
Tsk, if you finally let the reeds lean on the jade tree, wouldn’t it be a waste of natural resources?
A green-picking banquet was held in Shangheshan on June 6th.
This banquet is either a man or a woman, as long as you receive an invitation, it is a day when a man or a woman meets each other, which has made many couples. It has been a history of several years. At first, it was just a few famous scholars and prodigal sons who made a trip together for a cool trip. Later, because of their popularity, people are keen on this banquet, which gradually developed into a huge feast now.
On this day, most of the men who came to the banquet were wide-sleeved and long robes, and the girls dressed in different styles, either wearing skirts, gentle and beautiful; or wearing deep clothes, grand and bright, all competing for beauty and showing their strengths.
Xie Muzhi was urging by his mother, and it was neither too early nor too late. He followed Xie Shiyilang, and was also sent by his mother to stare at him, preventing him from slipping away halfway.
Mu Zhi shook the folding fan, his expression was leisurely and relaxed, and he could not tell at all that he was forced to come. Instead, Xie Shiyilang on the side had a stiff expression and looked reluctant.
"How elegant and comfortable is the flowing water in the mountains and ridges," Mu Zhi joked with a smile, "Why is Shiyilang so depressed?"
Xie Shiyilang had a bitter face. These days, he had seen his ninth cousin's true appearance! What kind of celebrity style is? The banished immortal in the sky, in fact, only three words: love to make trouble!
