Chapter 382 Your son asked me to sleep with her
“I have betrothed her to Fan Xian.”
Of course Li Yunqian knows Li Yunrui’s thoughts, and from his standpoint, he is not reluctant to part with her. Lin Wan'er, mainly because of this, it disrupted his plan.
And one of the things he hates most is situations beyond his control.
Li Yunrui lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "As long as Wan'er is not married, Your Majesty can take back the marriage at any time. In my opinion, Sinan Bo's son was involved in Lin Gong's death, so it was unconscionable for Wan'er to marry him. , On the contrary, the Chu warrior is not only the disciple of the Grand Master, but also a person who is favored by His Majesty. It will not be long before he becomes the king of the grassland with the support of the Grand Master and His Majesty. Such a status is quite high for Wan'er. "< br>
She didn't know what kind of deal Emperor Qing had with Chu Pingsheng's master, but judging from the current situation, the two must have an ulterior conspiracy. As long as they make good use of this, they can force Emperor Qing to make concessions and abolish the relationship between Fan Xian and Lin Waner. engagement.
"..."
Li Yunqian said nothing and walked around the room with his hands behind his back. Not to mention the gloomy clouds on his moody face, it was also a stagnant water with no liveliness.
Ah...
Chu Ping yawned for a long time, clasped his fists and said: "Is she the eldest princess or the daughter of the eldest princess? This is your majesty's family matter. You have to weigh the pros and cons and make many considerations. , the foreign envoy will have many inconveniences here, so he will leave first and wait for the good news of the eldest princess. ”
Li Yunqian nodded, called Hou Zhigang, and asked him to take Chu Pingsheng to the side hall to rest.
After the rightful owner left, Emperor Nanqing’s face could be described as a collapsed house.
To put it nicely, this is a royal family matter and should be discussed, but the candidate is determined, either the eldest princess Li Yunrui or the morning princess Lin Wan'er. If not, the table will be turned over.
He really didn’t know what kind of character this Chu Pingsheng was. Sometimes he was so deep that people felt disgusted, and sometimes he was so arrogant and reckless.
"Wan'er can't do it, marry him."
"Your Majesty!"
Li Yunrui looked at him with shocked and desperate eyes: "Are you really so cruel that you will force me to death before you give up?"
Over the years, she has been Staying in the palace, I don't even care about my own fiefdom, and I have no intention of visiting it, let alone marrying to the western grassland.
“I didn’t ask you to marry him now.”
The eldest princess was puzzled.
Li Yunqian turned his back to her and said: "On the day of the Empress Dowager's funeral, as a daughter, you are so heartbroken that you are willing to go with your mother, but you are worried about your frail and sick daughter. In order to show your filial piety, you should go to Xishan Villa to observe mourning for three years." When Chu Pingsheng completes his study tour and the three-year period expires, you can follow him west to the grassland."
Li Yunrui looked straight at the emperor's back and sorted out a lot of important information from these words.
First, the plan between Li Yunqian and Grandmaster Xihu should be completed within three years.
Second, Li Yunqian was still a little reluctant to let her go. Letting her go to the Xishan Courtyard near the imperial mausoleum was a delaying strategy.
Third, this did not drive her out of the imperial city, but it was better than driving her out of the imperial city. Her influence on the current situation will naturally weaken. We must continue to use small tricks to kill Fan Xian and sabotage the transfer to the inner treasury. It's difficult.
Sure enough, His Majesty is still the same, killing two birds with one stone very beautifully.
It is impossible for Chu Pingsheng, no, including the great master Xihu behind Chu Pingsheng, to play tricks on Li Yunqian.
......
Chu Pingsheng came out of the imperial study and asked Hou Zhigang to show him the way to the palace. The old eunuch did not dare to neglect, so he arranged for two young eunuchs to take him to the imperial garden and Chaoyang. Take a tour of places like the Palace and Wenhua Palace that are not very important and do not involve the secrets of the Qing Kingdom.
When we arrived at the Royal Garden, the guy from the wild land seemed to have never seen such beauty. He asked questions and played with things. He even had to drill holes in the rockery and even robbed the palace maid. The food he brought to feed the fish made them run away in shock, but he chased and hugged him like a mountain king who entered the city to steal women. He was simply a lustful devil. It was really indecent during the national mourning period, but There was no way, Mr. Chu was invited to the palace by His Majesty, they did not dare to stop him and could only follow him.
However, as I followed, I didn't know which beautiful palace maid was chasing and disappeared.
......
If there is a place in the entire palace that is the most solemn and the most white, it has to be the front hall of Taiji Hall, because the mourning hall of the Queen Mother is located here, and the women of Emperor Qing, His son, as well as the princes and princesses in the imperial city, all accompanied him here. This is where Li Yunrui went to the imperial study.
Xin Qiwu, the young minister of Honglu Temple, has been waiting for Chu Pingsheng at the gate of Taiji Hall. This is a task assigned to him by Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites. If you want to ask why, the reason is very simple. The envoy from the West He looked at him with a strange look, and would smile lightly from time to time, making people wonder if he was interested in him.
Since Mr. Xin can please the foreign envoys, of course the task of bringing the foreign envoys into the palace to express condolences cannot be given to others.
There is no doubt that this is a hard job. It is hard to wait for someone, and it is even more torturous to wait for a moody guy who kills without batting an eye. Moreover, if something goes wrong during the condolence process, he may lose his head.
"Mr. .
Xin Qiwu looked carefully before he recognized the person: "It turns out to be Mr. Wang, the governor of Pengzhou Road. Sorry, I almost didn't recognize him."
I don't know how, but he can obviously wear it. Even though they wear plain clothes that fit better, there are always a group of people who make themselves look sloppy and unattractive, as if they can show how sad and sad they are by doing so.
"The Empress Dowager's funeral is the day of the funeral. We are extremely grieved, but we can't compare to Mr. Xin. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for all funeral affairs. Everything is complicated, so Mr. Xin naturally..."
Before Wang Jishi finished speaking, he saw Xin. Qiwu pointed to the back and interrupted him, holding his plain clothes and trotting forward: "Envoy Chu, envoy Chu, here, I am here."
"Who is this person?" Seeing Xin Qiwu follow him. Regardless of his politeness, Governor Wang was a little unhappy and asked a young eunuch beside him.
“That person… seems to be the envoy who just entered the palace, the one who caused trouble at Ximen.”
When Governor Wang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he did not dare to have any more messy thoughts. The barbarian dared to kill even the personal soldiers of the Privy Councilor. He, a small fifth-grade magistrate, was just a piece of cake in the eyes of the other party.
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Hello, my lords."
"In the future, we will all be officials in the same court, please Take good care of me.”
"..."
As he was thinking about this, he saw the Chu envoy walking along, smiling and greeting the passing officials.
Everyone looked embarrassed and bowed to him, saying "sure".
The Empress Dowager’s coffin was parked in the front hall of Taiji Hall. Everyone wished they could show their loyalty like a dead mother. When facing the emperor, they had to help the foreign envoy to wipe his butt and say hello. I didn't dare to respond, everyone's expressions were weird, and the situation was extremely embarrassing.
Prince Wang was confused. Didn’t he say that he was very rough and arrogant? Look at his friendly face, he looks like a businessman.
While Xin Qiwu led Chu Pingsheng forward, he very thoughtfully introduced the name and official position of the official he greeted.
“This is the governor of Tokyo, Mr. Pang Pang.”
“This is Pingxi Luti Criminal Division, Mr. Lu.”
“The one in front, The one who looks like Chongzao is the official Zhou Xinli. He is the eldest prince’s favorite general. Does the eldest prince know that he has been fighting with the Northern Qi in the border army? I heard that he fought with the Northern Qi people the day before yesterday. When the news came that the Queen Mother had passed away, she didn't even bother to rest, and rushed back to Kyoto for two days and nights the day before yesterday."
"..."
"By the way, Ambassador Chu, why don't you see Eunuch Hou?" The two of them walked inside for a while, and then Xin Qiwu realized that he only saw Chu Pingsheng, but not Eunuch Hou.
"He was talking to the eldest princess in the back. I thought they were verbose, so I asked for directions and came over by myself."
"Oh."
Xin Qiwu had no doubts. After all, this is the palace. No matter how unreasonable Chu Pingsheng is, he will not cause trouble here.
“Also, your Excellency just said that we were officials in the same dynasty... What does it mean to be officials in the same dynasty?”
"Your Majesty has appointed me as a court official and a young minister of the Honglu Temple. I can participate in all foreign affairs."
"What?!"
Xin Qiwu grinned at Nantianmen, I don't know if I'm laughing or crying.
Chu Pingsheng said: "Mr. >
This is a pit, a huge pit.
The bitterness in Xin Qiwu's heart was about to overflow.
"Mr. The front hall of the Tai Chi Hall is all plain.
The entire front hall is divided into two parts. The front hall is the front hall for officials and foreign envoys to express their condolences. It is hung with elegiac couplets, various wreaths, snacks that the old lady liked during her lifetime, and male royal members kneeling on both sides. On the futon, among them were the crown prince Li Chengqian, the second prince Li Chengze, the third prince Li Chengping, the eldest prince Li Chengru, and the eldest son of Prince Jing, Li Hongcheng. A coffin was placed in the back hall, surrounded by the queen, concubine Shu, Ning Cairen, Yigui concubines and other royal female relatives. Lin Wan'er was not among them because she was an illegitimate daughter.
Chu Pingsheng was looking at the royal male who was guarding the spirit, and the other person was also looking at him, with different expressions. Some were angry, some were surprised, some were pensive, and some were confused...
Because there were two seven-year-olds in front of him. The eighty-year-old clan elder expressed his condolences, and Xin Qiwu whispered to him to wait. Chu Pingsheng didn't have so many scruples. He ignored the astonished glances and walked up to the prince. He grabbed his hand in a familiar manner and said with sincerity like a leader condolences to his subordinates: "Your Highness, my condolences."
< br>Li Chengqian looked confused and looked at the hands holding his hand affectionately. He didn't know what etiquette was.
Seeing Chu Pingsheng appear in Tai Chi Hall, Yan Xiaoyi took two steps forward and was about to stop him. The gentle expression on Chu Pingsheng’s face instantly turned cold and biting: “If you want to destroy the emperor, The Queen Mother's funeral, feel free to step forward and try."
Li Chengqian hurriedly winked at Yan Xiaoyi, indicating that he was fine and told him to retreat.
Chu Pingsheng turned his face and changed his expression, and said with a cheerful smile: "We will be relatives from now on. Let's get closer and closer when we have time."
