Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 610 A Match Made in Heaven

  Sometimes, people can't be too bad, or even if they do good deeds, they will be inexplicably credited to others.

  Obviously, Zhu Houzhao's image has not been very good all along. Fang Jifan sincerely attributed the credit to Zhu Houzhao, but the Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied with this.

She smiled and said: "What do you mean by not daring to claim credit? What is this? Merit is credit. What kind of credit is the prince? If he can really have a child, what would he do? It can be seen that such things are definitely not just hard work. Yes. Fang Qing’s family doesn’t need to be humble, this kind of great achievement is extraordinary and comparable, Fang Qing’s family is really a blessed general bestowed on me by heaven.”

  The Empress Dowager is a devout Taoist, and she firmly believes in the theory of the relationship between heaven and man. At this time, when she thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it should be so, and she took a deep look at Fang Jifan.

"The Ai family has an idea. Although this credit is not the result of the founding of the country, nor is it difficult to settle down, but to me, Da Ming, it is more straightforward. To the Ai family, it is a great contribution. The Fang Qing family has such a great contribution, and The Fang family lived together with my Ming Dynasty. His ancestors first founded the country with Emperor Gao, and after that, his Taizu followed Emperor Wen Jingnan, and also entered Annan to open up the border for our Ming Dynasty; his eldest father also died with Emperor Yingzong As for the change of Tumubao, as for his father, he also contributed a lot to guarding the southwest. The Fang family has been blessed by the imperial court for generations, and they have also made great contributions to our Zhu family..."

After speaking, the Empress Dowager took a look at Emperor Hongzhi, and then continued: "But how to confer rewards, Ai's family is a woman, this shouldn't be a woman's business, but Ai's family is thinking, this is a great contribution, the emperor It’s not appropriate to give him anything, so it’s okay, let him speak for himself. Whatever he wants, even if he says it, there’s nothing in the palace that won’t allow it.”

   This sentence is all right, and it carries a lot of weight. It means that as long as Fang Jifan doesn't tell me the country, basically, anything can be discussed.

  As long as it is within a certain reasonable range, everything can be handled well.

  Fang Jifan listened, his heart skipped a beat.

  So he looked at Emperor Hongzhi, and it was up to Emperor Hongzhi to decide on this matter.

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Oh, since the emperor's grandmother said so, the minister agreed, Fang Jifan, tell me, what reward do you want?"

Fang Jifan's heart settled down a bit, and he said nothing else: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, treats you like brothers and sisters. Over the years, His Royal Highness has been taking care of you. What is it that you do for such a small matter? Never imagined that the Holy Empress Dowager Mercy, Your Majesty is so magnanimous that he actually thinks that this is a great contribution, this is the duty of the minister, how dare the minister take credit for it?"

  Hearing these words sounded good, Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, smiling.

  Lao Fang is still honest, he also knows that Bengong regards him as a brother, yes, yes.

  But Emperor Hongzhi’s heart skipped a beat. This guy... actually repeatedly declined. It’s not like his style. Could it be that...

   What does he really have that even I may not be able to do my best to satisfy his request? So at this time, is it so modest?

  Fang Jifan continued: "I'm thinking, the imperial court has given us the Fang family too much, no matter how much, not to mention the minister, even the father of the minister would not dare to agree rashly."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

   But the Empress Dowager felt that Fang Jifan's words were very appropriate. Everyone said that Fang Jifan had a brain disorder. Unlikely, this is such a good child, but he was so slandered.

  Empress Zhang was thoughtful, as if she had a clue.

  Zhu Houzhao was even happier, nodding in a hurry, it makes sense.

At this moment, Fang Jifan's eyes suddenly turned red: "I just heard that the empress dowager treats me so well. I can't control my emotions in an instant. I lost my mother since I was young. Only my father raised me. Mother cares, minister... minister... there is always something in my heart... hey..."

  It is really regrettable to say that.

  Emperor Hongzhi also lost his mother since he was a child. At this time, he couldn't help feeling, why didn't he have this feeling? He shook his head secretly, feeling sorry for it and feeling very touched.

  The empress dowager's eye circles were also a little red, and she always smiled when she saw Fang Jifan, and she was very honest and responsible. It was only then that she remembered that he was a child without a mother, thanks to him being so strong.

  Empress Zhang probably understood something at this moment, she was extraordinarily calm, she secretly glanced at Zhu Xiurong, but saw Zhu Xiurong also looked sad, and felt that Fang Jifan was pitiful.

  Silly boy, Fang Jifan has said so much, do you really think he is saying that he is a motherless child, and that he is pitiful?

  Zhu Houzhao frowned, feeling sorry for Lao Fang, Lao Fang... so pitiful.

  Why didn't Ben Gong think that there are so many embarrassing things behind his back?

  Fang Jifan continued: "Since I was a child, I have been at home, and there is no one who loves me. Although everyone is afraid of my minister, no one is afraid of my minister, but no one gives me mother-like care..."

  The empress dowager showed pity, and hurriedly said: "Hey, you child, why didn't you say it earlier."

Fang Jifan said: "For example, when I grow up so old, my father is away on an expedition, His Royal Highness is about to give birth to seven children, and I am as old as the prince, but I am still alone. My father has even forgotten about the marriage. ...Chenzhen, every time I think of this, thinking that I am a child without a mother, I can't help but feel sad and melancholy. If my mother is still alive, how can I bear it? , I’m afraid I already have a son.”

  Everyone suddenly realized.

oh! No wonder I got to the sad point, it turned out to be...not married yet.

   It is said that no mother is pitiful for a child, and looking at it now, it is really so.

The Empress Dowager stepped forward and touched Fang Jifan's head, her face became a little more loving, and she said softly: "You don't have to worry, your marriage will be decided by the Ai family, and the Ai family will be your mother. If you are a girl from any family, tell the Ai family that the Ai family has decided for you, that is, the fairy in the sky, if you like, the Ai family will also invite you."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled, this guy, who usually looks heartless, actually broke his heart and lungs for marrying a wife, it's really... unimaginable.

   Isn’t it just marrying a wife? Why is that so.

   It seems that Ping Xihou must be not paying much attention to his son's affairs, I should beat Ping Xihou.

  Empress Zhang was deep in thought, as if hesitating.

  Zhu Xiurong's pretty face was already blushing, subconsciously, she tiptoed out of the hall and hid in the ear room.

Zhu Houzhao said cheerfully: "Yes, I will make the decision for you as much as you want. One hundred and eighty thousand, I dare not say, three or five hundred, I can give it to you, you and my brother, I will give you money." I'm really sorry, I have already given birth to seven children..."

   Zhu Houzhao bit the word "seven" very hard.

  Zhu Houzhao continued: "If you really want three or five hundred, I'm not bragging..."

   At this moment, Zhu Houzhao shuddered suddenly, only to see Emperor Hongzhi glaring at him unkindly.

  Zhu Houzhao finally shut up.

  Fang Jifan hesitated when he heard three or five hundred!

Ok? He seemed to be very happy... But he still resisted the temptation after all, and continued to blink hard, tears streaming down his eyes: "Your Majesty said these words as if my mother was alive. Except for the Empress Dowager who takes care of me like this, I can't even find them with lanterns."

   As he spoke, without further ado, he hugged the empress dowager's thigh and refused to let go.

   This time I was really stimulated. The prince has already given birth to seven children. What else do I say, I can’t let the children lose at the starting line.

  In these years, whoever has the thickest thighs is of course the Empress Dowager. If you hug her, you will definitely have a daughter-in-law.

The empress dowager heard him say that she was pitiful, and she heard Fang Jifan compare herself to her mother. No matter how hard-hearted a person is, her heart has already melted. She has made so many contributions, but she is still so pitiful. person?

The Empress Dowager Ren Fang Jifan wiped away tears with her skirt, touched his head kindly and said: "Don't worry, the Ai family will be the master for you, which girl you fancy, just say it, Don't have to worry about it."

  Fang Jifan looked timidly at the Empress Dowager and said: "I dare not say it. If I do, the crown prince will beat me to death..."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao's smile suddenly froze on his face.

  This sentence... sounds familiar, what do you mean?

   Then, he subconsciously looked in Zhu Xiurong's direction, only to find that his sister had disappeared all of a sudden.

  Buzz...Zhu Houzhao felt like his brain was going to explode.

The Empress Dowager was angry: "He dares, he owes your favor to have an heir, the Ai family will not believe it, he will have such courage, he dares to touch you even a little bit, the Ai family will kill you today." Let’s put it here, the Ai family’s grandson is gone, let’s beat him to death first.”

  The voice is harsh, is the prince repaying kindness with revenge? Such a grandson, what else is there to do?

  Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised, and always felt that this remark was a bit wrong.

   Empress Zhang seemed to be mentally prepared, and said lightly: "Fang Qing's family, you have already made eighteen detours. If you have something to say, just say it."

  Fang Jifan seemed to have taken a reassurance in his heart, he was comfortable, and said: "Did the minister say that?"

   "Say, just say it, big man, why are you so secretive."

  Zhu Houzhao felt like his heart was about to jump out.

Fang Jifan continued to hug the empress dowager's thigh, refused to let go, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, I tell you the truth. After I saw Your Highness, I couldn't move. I know that this is wishful thinking, and I have never dared to confide in my heart. Today, the empress treats me like this, so I am bold. If the empress does not allow me, I have nothing to say. I dare not spread today's matter to the outside world, so as not to spoil your highness. Famous festival, but if the empress grants it, I will be grateful, empress, don't worry, the horoscope of Her Royal Highness and the horoscope of the minister have already been tested by others, this is a match made in heaven, it is a golden and jade match!"

I am afraid that readers will wait for a long time, so I finished writing this update before getting the injection. After I finished writing, I went to get the injection and went to bed after the injection. I feel much better now, but I dare not die. I interrupted and continued the injection for two days, today and tomorrow. The third shift is tentatively scheduled, starting the day after tomorrow, and the code word speed will be restored. At the same time, I almost forgot to thank sister Tongtang for the reward of 100,000 starting coins yesterday, thank you.
