Rebirth of the prosperous male concubine

Feng Qin was indignant about letting them go out to find the prince.It was originally in their plan to find the prince. Although they don't know if they can find it, it is good to use this to bring down Concubine Liang.Originally, Feng Qin thought that the emperor would send bodyguards or hidden guards to look for him, but he didn't expect to let him and his brother go.

It's not easy for Concubine Mao to say anything about this matter. The emperor attaches so much importance to it, and it's their combined idea. In order not to arouse suspicion, I can only admit it.But Feng Qin was still very upset, and asked his son to find an illegitimate child, and he didn't know what his father was thinking.

Because they need to give them time to pack their luggage, they are scheduled to leave in three days.The address provided by the emperor was Shifeng County, and he said that he left a white jade waist pendant with dragon pattern at the beginning.White jade waist pendants are not uncommon, but there should not be many engraved with dragon patterns, especially those left in Shifeng.Feng Qin guessed that this was because of the waist pendant, so he had an impression. If he didn't have this waist pendant, his father might not even know where to find it.But having said that, although the waist pendant is a clue, it is not certain whether the woman is pregnant or not, and it may be a waste of time.

Because Feng Qin was worried about Jiang Yi staying in Beijing alone, and the emperor was eager to find an illegitimate child, he agreed to bring Jiang Yi with him. This was the only thing that made Feng Qin happy about this matter.

Naturally, Song Qi wanted to be with Feng Ye, and it was nice to be able to have a companion with Jiang Yi along the way.

And the reason given by the emperor was not to find some illegitimate child, but to inspect Shifeng's situation after he changed to a new magistrate, which is a legitimate reason.

The servants of Prince Xiang's Mansion and Prince Lu's Mansion were busy packing for the prince. Jiang Yi and Song Qi were fine and didn't know how long it would take to return to Beijing, so they made an appointment to go to Yipinlou to eat deep-fried fried shrimp before leaving.

Yipinlou’s deep-fried shrimp is famous throughout Dasheng, and every time you have to make an appointment in advance to eat it.So at noon that day, the two made an appointment to meet at Yipinlou.

There are few private rooms in Yipin Building, but the first floor is large and there are many tables, so it can be described as a bustling crowd when it comes to meal time.

As soon as she entered the door, the shopkeeper came out to greet her, "The concubine is here, hurry up, love inside."

The shopkeeper recognized Jiang Yi not because he was the princess, but because of Jiang Yi's reputation in Beijing back then. Although he was in poor health and rarely went out, it did not hinder others' evaluation of him.

The private rooms on the second floor were already fully booked, so they could only eat on the first floor.The shopkeeper specially arranged for them to sit in a corner, and came out through a place separated by a screen.

"Thank you." Jiang Yi was very satisfied with this place. They sat here and could see the door and the stairs, but others couldn't see them.

"Princess, please be polite. I will tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes. Please wait a moment."

Jiang Yi nodded.

After the shopkeeper left, Song Qi took out a small paper bag from his purse, which contained a large dried chrysanthemum.Song Qi put the chrysanthemum tea into the teapot, and poured a cup for each of them.

"How are you cleaning up?" Song Qi asked.

"It's almost there. You can put a lot of things in the carriage." He arranged the things to be loaded in Prince Lu's mansion. As long as the important things are not left behind, other things can be bought on the way.

"Well, let's go for a walk." Let's not say that this method of finding is similar to finding a needle in a haystack. Even if you find it, it is not certain whether the other party has children or whether it is a boy or a girl.The emperor was in a hurry and rushed to the doctor.

"Well, I'll go to my father's place to pick up Qi Guanhan tomorrow morning, and then meet you at the gate of the city. Go back and talk to King Xiang." Jiang Yi said.Yesterday morning, Qi Guanhan came over to visit, and after learning that they were going to Shifeng, he happened to be planning to leave for the Bian'an Palace in the next few days, so he said that he wanted to go together.

"Palace Master Qi Guan has also stayed in Beijing for quite a long time." Qi Guan Han doesn't seem to have a quiet temperament, but he really lives reclusively in Beijing Central. Basically, Jiang Du doesn't take him out. Sitting in the Ye Mansion, and occasionally having dinner with Shu Min, he was very low-key.

"Yeah, every time I ask, he says he's very comfortable. I know my family won't treat him badly, but I'm always worried that I won't treat him well." Jiang Yi laughed.

"It's because you are worrying too much, and it doesn't mean that your aunt in your family is kind and considerate. With the temperament of Palace Master Qiguan, if she really disagrees, it is impossible to stay in General Pingnan's residence for so long." Can better understand the behavior style of people in the rivers and lakes.

Jiang Yi nodded when he heard the words, "That's right, I feel at ease when you say that."

As soon as the words were finished, Jiang Yi saw the eldest prince bring a few people up to the second floor under the gracious hospitality of the shopkeeper.

"What's wrong?" Song Qi couldn't see the door from his position.

Jiang Yi lowered his voice and said, "The eldest prince is here."

Song Qi nodded, and said in a low voice: "As soon as we leave Beijing, the first prince and the fourth prince belong to the middle of the capital."

Jiang Yi smiled, "The emperor is used to making such a balance. The eldest prince himself does not want to leave the capital, so why is the emperor willing to let him leave the capital? If he does not leave the capital, it is an invisible restriction on the rights of other princes. The emperor uses this The method prevents the other princes from being dominant, and it is also a guarantee for his imperial power. The second prince has fallen, and withdrawing from the power center is tantamount to useless, and the queen can no longer help him. The fourth prince's ability to handle affairs is always poor Point. Only King Xiang and Fengqin are left. If any one of them is still in the capital, the eldest prince will not be able to play any role in this check and balance, so let them leave the capital together. In this way, the prince in the capital is the most useless It’s up to you, and the prince who has gone out can’t reach the affairs of the capital, at least these few months will definitely be peaceful.”

Song Qi sighed slightly, it is really difficult to survive in the royal family.

Xiao Er came over to serve the dishes, and the two of them didn't say anything else for a while.

When the dishes were ready and there were no other people around, Song Qicai said: "It's not easy to be an emperor. I suddenly wondered, if in the future, if Fengye or King Lu took that position, would he be like today's emperor and be punished everywhere?" The son is counting."

Jiang Yi chuckled, "Do you know why emperors have been tricked by concubines and princes since ancient times?"

"Why?" He shot in the rivers and lakes, because he really didn't understand these things.There are also sex fights in the rivers and lakes, but it has not reached the point where only one sect must survive.But the royal family is different. After a prince sits in that position, it is not certain how many brothers he will get rid of in order to keep the throne stable.

Jiang Yi said in a low voice: "There are too many concubines, half fathers and half mothers, and each has their own rights. Naturally, they have to fight for power. In the end, they are all for living. But if there is only one queen in the harem, and all the children are born to the queen, as long as Well-bred, not naturally ruthless, this situation will not happen now."

Song Qi thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "You're right. Just like Feng Ye and Lu Wang, I'm actually not afraid to tell you the truth, Feng Ye is also plotting against Lu Wang."

"Huh?" Jiang Yi didn't understand what was to be calculated.

Song Qi chuckled, "He wants to push the throne to King Lu, and he wants to take me back to live in the Zongshan School."

"Farewell, Feng Qin is not the material to be an emperor at all." Jiang Yi hurriedly refused.

Song Qi tilted his head, "I'm not made to be a queen either."

Jiang Yi was speechless for a while, and finally said straightforwardly: "The big deal is that King Xiang will change the Queen's rules in the future, so let's make it so."

"The hundred-year-old rule, change it if you say it?"

"When the time comes, just let Feng Qin come out and agree. It's not a big problem."

"..."

"People like us will have children, you know?"

Song Qi nodded.

Jiang Yi smiled and said: "From now on, the child will be taught by the same father and mother, and if the rules are changed, you will be able to sit firmly, which is very good."

Song Qi had the feeling of being trapped by Jiang Yi, and he didn't know how to refute it...

"Hey, Eunuch Cen, what brought you here." The shopkeeper's voice was bright.

Jiang Yi looked towards the door, and Song Qi also moved slightly to look over.

Eunuch Cen looked arrogant, and said: "My lord wants to eat deep-fried prawns, so hurry up, my eunuch will bring them back to add some food to my lord."

The shopkeeper's face showed a hint of embarrassment, thinking about it, in order to keep the ingredients fresh, the daily purchases are carried out according to the schedule, and more meat and vegetables will be bought for later use, but seafood can't be stored for a long time, and the daily purchases are done according to the schedule. measure.This Eunuch Cen didn't follow the rules, and he was really embarrassed.

"Elder-in-law, today's deep-fried prawns have been sold out, and there is really nothing left."

Eunuch Cen raised his eyebrows, "If you don't have it, find a way to let it have it! Let me tell you, it's not something you can afford to be blamed by King Ren."

Nioh?Isn't that the fourth prince?

Jiang Yi and Song Qi looked at each other and continued to listen.

"But...but..." The shopkeeper was really embarrassed, so he called Xiaoer over, and asked if there was any other table that didn't serve fried shrimps, and to see if he could use other dishes to make up for it, so as to share it with the fourth prince .

Xiao Er ran to the kitchen and came back not long after, with a disheveled expression on his face, "Only... only the deep-fried shrimp from the one above is not served, but he is making it."

The one who can make Xiao Er hide his name should be the First Prince.

Jiang Yi came up with an idea, and said to Song Qi, "Go up quietly and see what the First Prince and the others are doing."

The first-class building is busy right now, and with Song Qi's high martial arts skills, he should not be discovered.

Song Qi nodded, and went out through the rear window on their side.

"What about the one above? Give it to me quickly, what if our Renwang Mansion can't afford it?" Eunuch Cen refused to budge.

The shopkeeper whispered: "Eunuch, that...that is His Royal Highness the First Prince."

Eunuch Cen was taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily: "What? Our King Ren is not a prince anymore?"

The shopkeeper's face turned green.

Jiang Yi sneered in his heart, the reason why the fourth prince was named King Ren was because he was kind.But looking at the appearance of the servants at home, it seems that this is not the case.If he is really honest, the servants would not dare to bully others so unreasonably.

The shopkeeper was helpless, so he had to take a step back and said, "Eunuch Cen, do you think this is good? I'm going to send someone to buy shrimps now. You can wait here for a while."

Eunuch Cen was still dissatisfied, "Why did you make me wait? Are you responsible for delaying King Ren's lunch?"

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, this Eunuch Cen seems to be extremely difficult to serve.

At this time Song Qi also came back, and whispered in Jiang Yi's ear, "The door of the private room of the Great Emperor's Gate is closed tightly, and there is no guard at the door. There is a discussion going on inside, which seems to be related to the affairs of the court."

Song Qi didn't understand the affairs of the court, so he just listened to the general idea.

Jiang Yi whispered: "Did you see the two green-clothed house slaves at the door? They came with that Eunuch Cen, can you steal the badges on them, put them on the second floor, and then attract the big ones?" The prince's people felt that someone was eavesdropping outside, so they came out to pick up this or that sign."

The house slaves of each family will have a brand on the house to indicate their identity.The higher the status of the person, the harder it is to lose the brand, because it is related to many things.But like ordinary house slaves who have no influence on the family, if they accidentally lose their badges, they just get another one.

And now the first-class building is bustling with activity, and whoever goes upstairs or downstairs doesn't attract much attention.Jiang Yi wanted to use this method to make the First Prince feel that the Fourth Prince had overheard his speech. If it was an important matter, the First Prince might not let it go, and if it was an unimportant matter, the First Prince would start to doubt whether it was the Fourth Prince. Has this trick been used around him, or will it continue to be used in the future.In short, I will be wary of the fourth prince, so that even if they are not in the capital, the eldest prince and the fourth prince can still fight.

Song Qi is so smart, he quickly understood what Jiang Yi meant.Fortunately, he was wearing gray clothes today, and his hair was also black, so he would not attract attention.

So Song Qi jumped out of the window to do some business.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to pack the deep-fried prawns originally intended for the eldest prince and give them to Eunuch Cen to take away, then ordered someone to go to the pier to see if there were any shrimps for sale, and then bought them for the eldest prince to cook, but the taste must be different. It's one level away. After all, the shrimps that haven't been sold at this time are no longer that fresh, so I can only hope that the eldest prince's tongue is not so good. If he tastes the difference, he will be really hard to explain.

As soon as Eunuch Cen left, Song Qi came back.Not long after, the eldest prince upstairs and his people hurried downstairs, and after noticing anything unusual, they called the shopkeeper.

"Did King Ren's people come here just now?" the First Prince asked.

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his brow, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I just left."

"What are you here for?" The First Prince asked again.

"I'm here to buy deep-fried shrimp." The shopkeeper didn't dare to challenge him, for fear that he would end up shooting himself in the foot.

"How many people are here?"

"Like three or four."

"Did you go upstairs?"

"I don't know about this little one. There are too many people in the store, so I didn't take care of it. First Prince, what's wrong?"

The eldest prince didn't answer, but only asked: "Are there any other royals here for dinner today?"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to hide it, and said: "Princess Lu is here, is she sitting behind the screen?"

"He's alone?"

"No, a young master who looks like a scholar and is about his age."

The eldest prince nodded, and left without looking back.He knew that Jiang Yi didn't know martial arts. Since the person who came with him was a scholar, he definitely didn't know martial arts.That is to say, they are definitely not the ones who came upstairs to eavesdrop, otherwise they would not be able to run so fast, that is to say, they would not have arranged to frame the fourth prince. got a badge.

Seeing that the eldest prince didn't even look this way, Jiang Yi knew that the eldest prince didn't suspect them in the end.Now that it's all right, they may also feel relieved to leave Beijing.

The two touched their teacups, smiled at each other, and continued eating.

The shopkeeper also heaved a sigh of relief, the eldest prince is gone, there is no need to serve fried fried shrimp, and their signboard of Yipinlou has been preserved.

After the meal, the two went back to their homes and told about today's events.

Feng Qin smiled and pulled Jiang Yi for a kiss, praising him for his idea.

In comparison, Feng Ye was much more mature. He took Song Qi to analyze the situation afterwards, made a more detailed plan for this trip, and thought about how to throw the throne to his younger brother for half an hour.

Early the next morning, Feng Qin and Jiang Yi went to General Pingnan's Mansion to pick up Qi Guanhan, and also had breakfast here by the way.

When he was about to go out, Jiang Yi found out that his brother also came out with a burden on his back. Qi Guanhan had a smile on his face, and he was very happy when he saw it.

"Brother, what are you..." Jiang Yi already had a guess, but he still wanted to ask.

Jiang Du smiled and said: "Now I have nothing to do, and I don't feel at ease when you go out to do errands. I just go with you, and multiple people can take care of multiple people."

Because the candidates to go are determined by Feng Qin and Feng Ye, so Jiang Du can follow if he wants to.Even if they disagree, Jiang Du and Qi Guanhan are together, they can't pick anything.

Since my brother wanted to go and the trip wasn't too dangerous, Jiang Yi agreed.So a group of people set off to meet Feng Ye and the others, and then set off for Shifeng County.
