The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(186)
Now that the matter had been decided, King Jin prepared for a few days and planned to go to Princess Anqing's mansion.
He came to the door alone. Princess Anqing knew what he was here for and didn't want to see her.
I fucked her, and she fucked her son, tit for tat.
King Jin went there three times before meeting Princess Anqing.
"I won't tell you more. If you want the land, step on my corpse first." Princess Anqing is old, but her momentum and voice are not small. It can be seen that she is a long-lived person. She is expected to live longer. Ten years is no problem.
"I came here today not intending to take the land, but I just wanted to ask my aunt about her plans on this matter."
"Plan? I have no plan! I just want to ask the emperor if he doesn't want to take care of me, the eldest princess, who is a big boss, and if he plans to throw me out as an aunt? If so, I Leave now and don’t embarrass the emperor.”
Princess Anqing is an emperor at every turn, which is obviously to use seniority to suppress the Jin Dynasty. Who dares to say yes? If so, with Princess Anqing's temperament, she really dares to lead the whole family to cry on the street, and the royal family's face will not be lost.
"It seems that my aunt is still very excited. In this case, I will leave first and come back tomorrow." After saying that, King Jin left.
There's nothing much to fault about his behavior, but it's just too baffling. Princess Anqing found it particularly baffling.
The next day, King Jin came again.
Still repeating what she said yesterday, Princess Anqing fell into "excitement" as she spoke, and King Jin left again.
Then the third day, the fourth day, and up to the fifth day.
Princess Anqing couldn't bear it anymore, "Are you kidding me? I won't let you in if you come to this palace again!"
The problem is that Princess Anqing dares to do this, but other men in the house do not dare to do this. The prince-in-law died early, but Princess Anqing still has five sons, countless grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It's okay to suppress the foreign ministers, but King Jin is different from others. He is a prince himself, and he doesn't know what his future will be like. In fact, just his status as a prince is enough to shock people.
After all, the only person in this huge mansion who can be considered a royal is Princess Anqing.
King Jin always remained as calm as a mountain, but he did not make people think he was rude: "I am not playing tricks on my aunt, but I just want my aunt to calm down and discuss this matter again."
"I am very calm."
King Jin didn't say anything, just looked at Princess Anqing. Obviously he didn't say a word, but it gave people a feeling of 'look, you're excited again'.
"You can say whatever you want. It doesn't matter whether I'm calm or not. Once you've finished speaking, get out of here and don't come here again."
King Jin nodded and began to speak, "My aunt is already in her seventies. It is inevitable for me to see her that she will live to an old age, and it is not impossible for her to reach her prime."
Princess Anqing laughed when she mentioned this. She had always been most proud of her longevity. Throughout the ages, there were only a few people who could live as long as she did.
"When a person has the strength to do so, there are always times when the aunt cannot take care of her. Now that I am a father, I can also understand the parents' heart. I always want to protect and help. I can protect you for a moment, in every aspect, no matter how small or small it is. . But when a child grows up, there will always be a time when he spreads his wings and flies high. The strong protection only breaks his wings and turns him from a roc flying high into a bird huddled in a bird's nest. The little bird eats. What will happen to the little bird if one day the big bird is gone?
Following King Jin's words, Princess Anqing had already fallen into deep thought.
The consort has no future, and so do his sons. She had been whipped and beaten, but unfortunately she couldn't bear it, so she just wanted to live like this. As long as she was around, this life could always go on. But while she was proud of her longevity, she also felt that she was fighting against God every day she lived.
She was scared, she was scared, but it was too late.
It's not like no one has ever told her something like what Prince Jin said, but as she gets older, the number of people who dare to say such things to her gradually disappears. Either she was dead, or she felt like she wouldn't listen if she said it. No one knew that she actually wanted someone to say these words to her.
"When I was young, I heard my father say that my great-aunt was also a reasonable person when she was young, and she naturally knew right from wrong. My great-aunt complained that my father didn't see you, but I didn't know that my father didn't miss you, but that I couldn't bear to hurt you. Heart. On the one hand, he is a respected elder, and on the other hand, he is a hero who has made great contributions to the country. It is wrong to hurt anyone, so this evil person was punished by his grandson. It may be disrespectful or unpleasant, but the sentence I mean this from the bottom of my heart, I hope my aunt can understand.”
Princess Anqing remained silent, her expression sometimes confused, sometimes enlightened, sometimes flashing memories, it was extremely complicated.
"Auntie, you have to know that there will always be times when you can't protect me. Why don't you let me go and let my juniors earn their own money and work hard. Once your temperament is gone, it will really be gone. With this temperament, all these cousins If you can do something, your father will not treat you badly. Now, my cousins will shine in the family, and your face will be bright, isn't it good?"
"Can--"
"Auntie is worried that if you move the princess mansion, you will be disgraced? In fact, there is no need to worry about this. How can my father have the heart to take away the mansion you have lived in all your life? And the environment in the outer city is complicated, so you should not live there. Therefore, the emperor ordered people to build a princess mansion in the suburbs of the city that is more spacious and more grand than this one. If you want to live in the imperial city, live in the imperial city, and if you want to live in the suburbs of Beijing, live in the suburbs of Beijing. Cousins, if there is a suitable place, I would not hesitate to recommend one or two.”
Princess Anqing was suddenly enlightened, and sighed for a while: "The emperor is interested." She looked at King Jin again, her expression was a bit complicated: "You are also interested."
King Nanran of Jin.
Soon after returning from here, he went to Rongxiyuan.
He looked calm and cold. Yao Niang was still wondering if it was possible, and she was still thinking about how to coax him and make him stop being angry.
She groped around, found her way to Prince Jin, and pretended to clean up the Kang table in front of Prince Jin. Even though the Kang table had been cleaned by red silk and others, she still moved the tea cup, pretending to be busy.
He couldn't be too deliberate in his thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep it on his face. Just as he was thinking about how to speak, someone suddenly grabbed him around the waist and grabbed him onto the kang.
"How do you know this method works?"
it works? That’s it!
Yao Niang smiled a little sheepishly: "We are all mothers. Even though the eldest princess is old, she is still a mother. Children are debts to their parents. The more children they have, the greater the debt will be."
Seeing that Prince Jin and Xiaobao were both looking at her, she first explained to Xiaobao: "Mom, I don't think my little treasure is a debt." Then she said to Prince Jin, "I didn't say this, it's what the people in the market say."
After a pause, she continued: "For mothers in the world, talking about her children is the most touching thing. As long as you don't make false claims and are realistic, it shouldn't be too difficult."
So King Jin expanded along this line of thinking and finally captured Princess Anqing.
In fact, no one is a fool. You can actually feel whether you are sincere or not. So when people from the Ministry of Industry went there, they were beaten out. This even provoked Princess Anqing to step over her when she threatened to demolish it.
That's why the King of Jin became king.
While King Jin and Yaoniang were talking about this matter, Princess Anqing was also thinking quietly in the mansion.
She thought a lot, and after thinking clearly, she went to the palace again holding the dragon-headed staff.
This time I went to thank you.
It is said that after Princess Anqing thanked Emperor Hongjing for her kindness, she cried and confessed her mistakes to Emperor Hongjing. At the same time, she felt ashamed of Emperor Hongjing's tolerance and generosity.
In fact, it was nothing for the aunt and nephew to sit together and talk, and to cry when they talked about passionate emotions. The key was that there were several courtiers present at the time.
These important ministers witnessed the aunt and nephew performing a great drama of love and filial piety between the elders and the younger ones. At the same time, the role of one of them cannot be ignored, that is King Jin.
Chapter 145
Princess Anqing left, and Emperor Hongjing had no intention of continuing the discussion, so he told several ministers to leave the meeting another day.
There was silence in the palace. Emperor Hongjing sat on the dragon chair and didn't know what he was thinking. The expressions are very complicated, some are laughing so hard, some are melancholy, and even a little stunned.
Li Dequan stepped forward, placed a cup of tea in Emperor Hongjing's hand, and stood aside.
Emperor Hongjing picked up the tea cup, brushed the foam on it, took a sip, and then said: "I have underestimated him."
Although he didn't mention this by name, Li Dequan knew he was referring to King Jin.
Yes, no one thought that King Jin would be able to accomplish this. And he did it so impeccably that he earned enough face for Emperor Hongjing. The key point is that Princess Anqing deserves to be born in the royal family. It may be that even if the King of Jin tries to coax her, she still has to make a done deal, or it may be a sense of following the trend.
After this scene was performed, Emperor Hongjing's face was lost, and so was Princess Anqing's face, and they also showed their merits to the King of Jin. It was really like killing three birds with one stone.
"How dare you say that to me in front of the eldest princess? When did I tell him that the eldest princess is also a sensible person...and I can't bear to take her house. If I really couldn't bear it, I would send him. went……"
Emperor Hongjing drank tea and felt disgusted with Tao. It seemed that his tone was quite displeased, but in fact the corners of his mouth were turned up.
It was not easy for Li Dequan to answer these words, so he could only bend down and say with a smile: "His Royal Highness, King Jin, was very smart when he was young, so he will certainly be good when he grows up."
Emperor Hongjing nodded: "Like Concubine De." She was as transparent and clear-minded.
Speaking of Concubine De, Emperor Hongjing's fingers touching the tea lid paused, and time flew back in an instant. He seemed to be thinking a lot, but also seemed to be thinking of nothing. He held the tea lid and flicked the tea soup before taking a sip.
After taking a sip, he put down the tea cup and stood up: "It seems that the death anniversary of Concubine De is coming soon again. Ji Yiji."
