Prince Merry

The Empress Dowager's birthday was originally a festive day, and the Chengenhou Mansion took advantage of the Empress Dowager's blessing and finally walked in front of people again. Compared with the bad luck of the Jinganhou Mansion, the rumors about the Chengenhou Mansion had long since dissipated.

Cheng Enhou heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, if there hadn't been the appearance of the Jinganhou Mansion, the affairs of the Cheng Enhou Mansion would not have been so easily forgotten.

The Empress Dowager devoted herself to promoting her natal family, and the congratulatory gift presented by Marquis Cheng En was a white jade Guanyin.

"Okay, okay, okay." The queen mother called out three good words in succession, then turned her head and told the maid of honor: "Reward." Then she looked at the emperor again, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, the emperor will not refute her face, and said with a smile: "Give wine!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Marquis Cheng En raised his wine glass, weeping with gratitude, knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, no matter what, the emperor's attitude is a signal, she wants to show it to all civil and military officials, as long as she is there for one day, Chengenhou's mansion will not collapse.

The emperor encouraged him a few words, and the big rock in Cheng Enhou's heart finally fell to the ground. He knew that the previous things had passed like this.

Cheng Enhou made a big splash, and many officials congratulated him.

However, unlike his scenery, Marquis Jing'an's back felt like needles, and he always felt that others looked at him strangely. Even if he divorced the Zhang family, Marquis Jing'an's reputation would still plummet.

The fifth prince is also not much better. He hasn't shown his face for a few months now. The once suave young master Pian Pian has become gloomy and ruthless. He has a thin face with high cheekbones and a gloomy look in his eyes. Yes, if the servants who serve him are careless, their heads will fall to the ground.

What is the difference between a man and an eunuch if he lacks something below? How can he accept it if he is as proud as him? It's like falling from the nine heavens into the abyss of hell. Life is worse than death.

In fact, the Liu family is also very unlucky. They wanted to get a good deal, but they got into trouble. Not only have they been dismissed and investigated, but their daughter has also been implicated. It is impossible to talk about a good marriage in the capital. I really regret it. and.

If the five princes were abolished earlier, with the support of the Marquis of Jing'an, and many forces behind them, then there is nothing left now, and accidents happen one after another. With such omens, and the example of the Liu family, Whoever dared to stand on his side, many officials avoided him, and the line of the fifth prince was really abolished.

Qin Zizhen knew that he was not welcomed by the queen mother, so he quietly served as the background board, sitting casually in a corner and eating oranges.

He wanted to be quiet, but it was a pity that the sky didn't obey people's wishes.

The banquet ahead was full of excitement, singing and dancing, the Empress Dowager remembered him for some reason, and suddenly asked, "Where is Prince Pingxi now?"

In an instant, the place where Qin Zizhen was located became the focus of everyone's attention.

Many people were waiting to see the good show. All the officials knew that Prince Pingxi and the Empress Dowager Liang Zijie had grown up. There had been no movement for several months. Everyone thought that the Empress Dowager had forgotten, but they were waiting here.

Qin Zizhen looked indifferent, and slowly got up: "This minister is here."

The queen mother looked at him with a smile on her face, as if she was a kind old lady, and praised: "Prince Pingxi's son is indeed a good-looking talent."

"The empress dowager congratulates me." Qin Zizhen replied indifferently, his face remained motionless.

The queen mother smiled and looked at the noble lady beside her: "Your grandson is extraordinary, and the Xiangjun palace is blessed."

"I don't dare." The princess of Xiangjun was terrified, she considered it carefully, and said: "The son is not allowed to pass through the family, and he has not visited the county prince's mansion. The old man can't afford such a grandson."

The Empress Dowager's smile immediately subsided a little, and she reprimanded: "You can't say that. Children are ignorant, and the elders should teach them well. Prince Pingxi came to Beijing alone. No matter who cares, young people will always have a child." When he is self-willed, the nephew of the Ai family will reap the consequences for himself, and the elders still have to make decisions about children's affairs."

The officials present were shocked, everyone knew that the Queen Mother wanted to settle accounts with the Empress Dowager.

The Princess of Xiangjun's expression moved slightly, and she hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager has a generous heart, but the minister's wife is thinking about it."

"Hmm." The queen mother smiled at the corners of her eyes, seemingly very satisfied: "Prince Pingxi's royal family is vacant, and the Ai family intends to be a matchmaker for him. What do you think?"

The concubine of Xiangjun flattered her repeatedly, and said gratefully: "My grandson is incompetent, and it is his great blessing to be able to have the queen mother as a matchmaker."

The queen mother gave her a look: "Look at what you said, Prince Pingxi's son is still young and has an unstable temperament. He will definitely be sensible when he gets married."

The princess of Xiangjun smiled like a chrysanthemum with her old face: "It's all a drag on the queen mother's fortune."

They talked to each other, but they didn't pay attention to the person concerned at all.

The emperor was obviously happy to see the result: "Oh? I don't know which girl my mother has taken a fancy to. I will give them a marriage decree."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's the daughter of Zuo Xiang's family."

The emperor was silent, and pondered for a moment: "It's okay."

The queen mother smiled slightly, and knew that the emperor would agree. The left minister is the emperor's man, and it is just right to win over the son of the vassal prince.

It's just that she's a rich man...

Unruly and willful, because Zuo Xiang was an old woman, she was spoiled since she was a child, and she simply didn't know how to match her with Prince Xi's son. One can imagine how chaotic life will be in the future.

As the saying goes, if you have a wayward daughter, marry her to your enemy.

Two years ago, Prime Minister Zuo's daughter caused a big incident. Now that she is over [-] years old and is still in her boudoir, the Empress Dowager's matchmaking for Yang Jinyao is tantamount to selling a favor to Prime Minister Zuo.

As for whether he would favor Prince Pingxi's son, the Queen Mother was not worried.

Zuo Xiang is an upright person, and he can't get used to the rich family. When something like that happened to Yang Jinyao, Zuo Xiang could only strangle her to death, but her well-behaved daughter turned into a femme fatale. If Mrs. Zuo Xiang didn't intercede, Yang Jinyao would have been executed long ago.

Qin Zizhen watched coldly, his brows and eyes moved slightly, he knew very little about Zuo Xiangqian, the queen mother had thought of this for a long time, his mental ability could only watch the current events, the queen mother never mentioned it before, it really made him Caught off guard.

However, so what.

Qin Zizhen raised his eyebrows and sneered. No one can force him to do what he doesn't want.

"Congratulations, Prince Pingxi." Someone came forward to greet him. If he married Zuo Xiang's family, his status would naturally be different from the past.

"Congratulations to Prince Pingxi's son on his beautiful wife."

Qin Zizhen raised his eyebrows, and the brows were full of sarcasm: "Why do you like it?"

The flattery of the official has come to an end. Isn't it a great joy to be able to marry Zuo Xiang's family and get a marriage from the emperor?

The Empress Dowager's complexion sank: "Is Prince Pingxi dissatisfied?"

The Empress Dowager's words are serious, dissatisfied with the marriage bestowed by the emperor, or dissatisfied with the left minister's daughter, no matter which one, Prince Pingxi's son will offend others.

Although Qin Zizhen was fearless, but if it was not necessary, he did not want to cause trouble in vain. His casual expression restrained a little, and he said lightly: "No, I like men, and I can only live up to the Queen Mother's kindness."

"Pfft!" Many officials sprayed all over the floor.

The emperor shook his hand, knocked over the wine glass on the table, and the palace servants rushed forward to serve him.

The queen mother was stunned for a moment, she thought that Qin Zizhen would refuse in countless ways, no matter which one she would make him unable to eat, but...

The queen mother was very angry: "Are you fooling your family? If you like men, where do your children come from?"

Qin Zizhen replied in a very serious tone: "I also found out that I like men before I went to Beijing, so I divorced the concubine and didn't want to delay the good woman, so I must not agree to the marriage offered by the queen mother. "

Pooh!The Empress Dowager was so angry that she fell on her back, she dared to think that he was unwilling to marry her because of the goodness of Zuo Xiangqian, if she forced her, wouldn't she become a big villain, knowing that marrying Pingxi Prince's son would not be happy, but still acting as a matchmaker.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked him in a deep voice: "Prince Pingxi, have you thought about it?" If he gets involved with any woman in the future, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Qin Zizhen's eyes narrowed slightly, his face darkened, and he replied calmly: "I have nothing to say."

What else could the emperor say, he waved his hands boredly and said, "So, let's forget about the marriage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Zizhen won the victory, with a beautiful curve on the corners of his lips, ignoring his character, just looking at it from the outside, Prince Pingxi is indeed a good-looking talent, and his every move has a certain charm.

All the civil and military officials were in an uproar. The goodness of Longyang has existed since ancient times, but it has never been on the stage. Few people can speak out like Qin Zizhen.

Many officials thought to themselves, they must tell their sons when they go back, and they must not get involved with Prince Pingxi's son, lest they be labeled as good at Longyang.

Marquis Jing'an's face was ashen. There was a scandal in the family before, but now everyone knew that Xie Jiusi had friendship with Prince Pingxi, and many people began to point fingers.

He was so angry that he wished he could expel Xie Jiusi from the clan.

It's just that he didn't dare.

There was a clear look on the fat man's face, so that was the case, he said that there seemed to be something wrong with the way the two of them got along, and it turned out that they had been having sex for a long time.

As a dude, Fatty doesn't think much about it, he's just a man, he's played it before, he doesn't think it's a big deal.

This episode passed quickly, and the palace banquet continued.

Qin Zizhen was full of boredom, and began to investigate the affairs of the left minister's daughter. Someone would reveal clues. Then, his eyes fixed on a little beard. He has already fallen, the most important thing is that he is from the capital, and now he is standing in a very remote location.
