Emperor's Trophy

Not long after boarding the ship on the second day, the two brothers Tan Wenwei and Tan Wenbao brought Tan Zhen over. Tan Zhen walked on the deck with new make-up and gorgeous clothes, and she looked like a fairy concubine. I understand why it is said that she is quite like the queen mother. I think Ji Bingyuan's mother queen was also so graceful.

No wonder Cheng Enbo had been withdrawn for so many years, and suddenly became ambitious. He thought that this granddaughter must be so resembling that the emperor would think of his dead mother when he saw it.

Thinking about it this way, Yun Zhen became more and more worried, and watched Tan Zhen stepping forward and bowing profusely: "Because of being locked up in that other courtyard for several days that night, the little girl was suffering in distress and panic, and then she was frightened again, and unexpectedly I failed to repay Lord Hou and Commander Gao for saving me, and when I came back, I found out that the two elder brothers were worried about my safety and offended Lord Hou with their words. The little girl felt uneasy, so she urged the two elder brothers to come together. I came here today, one is to thank Lord Hou for saving his life, and the other is to plead guilty to Lord Hou for the two elder brothers, and hope that Lord Hou will forgive the offense of recklessness of the two brothers. They are also unintentional, but they are too anxious. woman……"

Yun Zhen listened to her words, but his mind wandered to other places, wondering what the emperor was doing in the palace?Going back this time, he will definitely be happy to reward himself, after all, he has restored the reputation of Cheng Enbo Mansion, but for the first time, he is not in the mood to ask for rewards - leaving aside the identity of Princess Dingxiang, he is now a minister, It's only natural for a subject to do his best to serve the emperor. He's done it, and it's no longer appropriate to act like a spoiled child in front of the emperor.

He was reluctant, he thought melancholy, the emperor is so kind.

He didn't wear an official uniform today, but only a moon-white casual robe and a cloak. He looked extremely young, with a gloomy expression, and when he was not talking, he looked alienated and cold.

In the eyes of the brothers and sisters of the Tan family, this is very arrogant.The court officials they met in Jiangnan were Yipin inspectors and the chief secretary of Jiangnan, and they were all modest and enthusiastic towards them, seeking to please them.

Gao Xin laughed over there and said: "Miss, please, what are you talking about as an apology? We can't afford it, we came here with the emperor's order..." His words were smooth and exquisite, as before. , and soon sent the brothers and sisters away.

Gao Xin turned his head and glanced at Yun Zhen, who hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, as if he was just wandering, and sighed again in his heart. He didn't know what happened to this young master these days, why he insisted on fighting with the emperor's mother clan? How about on the bar?Go back and ask that old fox Ding Dai to see if there is any way to turn it around, if it affects the Sacred Heart because of this, it's not good.

He smiled and asked Yun Zhen: "It's pitiful for Ms. Tan's family to suffer such an innocent disaster this time. The emperor takes pity on me, and I think he will give you something to calm the shock. I just don't know who will blame this time, and Master Hou guesses." figure it out?"

Yun Zhen thought for a while and said lazily: "Although Zuo is only those few families, it's really hard to say who, so I can only settle the case with Hulu. The surname of Ji is Wang Sun, and everyone looks gentle, courteous and thrifty, like a gentleman. Feng, but who knows what the vassals behind them think? Maybe Ji Huaiqing, maybe Ji Huaisheng, or maybe Ji Huaisu. Anyway, everyone knows that he is recuperating in the capital. If the crime really happened, no one would suspect him. It looks like it was picked clean."

Others don't know, but he knows that Ji Huaisu pushed this marriage in front of the emperor. Although he doesn't know why he pushed back this seemingly good marriage, but Ji Huaisu has a deep scheming heart. , also can't rule out his suspicion, maybe he will use this to hold the black pot to Ji Huaiqing, so that he can't stand up.

Things are too complicated, let the emperor think about these things, I don't know what the emperor is doing in the palace?

Tiren Palace.

The emperor is receiving the old matriarch Qu Qiuya in the palace: "The matriarch looks very healthy now, if you have anything to do, just hand in the paperwork, I will never refuse, how can I enter the palace in person?"

Taifu Qu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is indeed something I need to entrust to the emperor. Others say that it doesn't seem to be taken seriously, so I have to come to mention it in person."

Seeing his relaxed expression, Ji Bingyuan thought it wouldn't be a difficult task, and said with a smile: "Old Madam Fu just says, I will do everything I can."

Taifu Qu said with a smile: "I have a granddaughter who is just as old as Ji this year. She grew up under my knees. She is as loving as a palm, clever and clever, and Yuxue is cute. When I was three years old, I taught her to recognize hundreds of characters. When I was five years old, the Book of Songs He is catchy and can recite hundreds of poems, has a good temperament, is very good at housework, and has a good command of books and history, but unfortunately, the old minister is too pampered and spoiled, and I am really worried that he will lose his spirituality if he marries into such a harsh family in the future."

Only then did Ji Bingyuan know what he meant: "Which one is so handsome that the old lady Fu sees it? But you want me to be the matchmaker?"

Qu Taifu smiled and said: "The emperor can't be a matchmaker in this matter, but the emperor can be regarded as the elder of that handsome man, but the old minister is here to propose marriage."

Ji Bingyuan's heart sank, and she heard Qu Taifu laughing and said: "The old minister has taken a fancy to Zhaoxinhou, Lord Yun. Lord Yun is young and promising, handsome and chivalrous, and has a bright future. The old minister really appreciates it. I know the emperor will not I am willing to wrong Zhao Xinhou, but my granddaughter was raised and brought up by myself. She is beautiful in both appearance and workmanship, and has a lively temperament. She should be compatible with Lord Yun, and she will definitely become a good couple. That's why I went into the palace with the cheek to beg the emperor, only to ask for the emperor's fulfillment."

Looking at Qu Taifu's expression, Ji Bingyuan probably never thought that she would refuse.My heart is sinking, yes, this is indeed a very good marriage, although Yun Zhen has the name of a royal family, in fact, he is not included in the clan, and he only takes care of him in his own generation. When the new emperor comes to power, he may not be treated the same way, not in the long run.Qu Taifu was different, he was a real scholar, the Qu family had a rich background, even if the dynasty changed, they had to support them.

Originally, the family of the Yun family was withered, and there was only a Tanhua, and the princess was offered, which is not a good family name, but if Yun Zhen married the daughter of the Qu family, the family would flourish from the beginning, and the daughter of the Qu family must be a very good family. Yes, running affairs and raising children must be a first-class virtuous housemate. From then on, husbands and wives will follow, and children and grandchildren will be blessed.

The granddaughter that Qu Taifu personally brought up will definitely not be bad.He admired Yun Zhen very much from the beginning, and he has watched it carefully in the past few years. He is not the only one who knows that Yun Zhen is a good child. Taifu Qu is extremely wise. Of course, he also saw that his granddaughter married Yun Zhen. the benefits of.

One is to take care of himself, Yunzhen is favored, and now he has experienced a few times and has made great progress. In the future, he will definitely have military power in his hands, and his future will not be bad.The second is young and handsome, with outstanding character, and the third is that there is no parent-in-law to control, only you, the nominal elder, can't control the affairs of the house, once the house is closed, the young couple lives by themselves... No matter how you look at it, they are a married couple. For a good marriage, and my teacher came to ask for it in person, I shouldn't refuse it anyway.

Qu Taifu looked at his expression: "Your Majesty, do you think that the old minister is overrated?"

Ji Bingyuan smiled and said: "Why do you think so? The Qu clan, the leader of scholars, and the granddaughter taught by the teacher, not to mention, is a good one. I am also very happy that Jixiang'er has the teacher's favor, but now the auspicious The son is a bit uncertain, the teacher also knew about it a few days ago, he just kicked and injured the king of Hejian County, causing a lot of uproar and impeachment, I just have a headache in my heart, I don't know how to teach him, he is so stubborn, the granddaughter of the Taifu The age is still very young, if the two children get married, and Ji Xianger doesn't know how to tolerate it, the young couple will quarrel every day, but what should I do? I have wronged the little lady, right? How can I see the old lady at that time? What about Fu?"

Taifu Qu smiled and said: "It was because of this. Lord Yun is young and energetic, so he is naturally hated by others. The emperor doesn't need to care about it. The old minister saw that he has acted very safely in the past few years. If he thinks that he kicked and injured the county king, there must be something hidden. It's not his fault. I don't worry about it when I'm young. The old minister also wants to keep his granddaughter by his side for a few years. It's not too late to get married after everyone has settled down. I just want to make an appointment with the emperor early so that the emperor knows what to do. It's best if it can be settled down, the old minister looked at, in the past few years, there will definitely be people with daughters who will come to the emperor one after another, I just hope that the emperor will think about the old minister at that time, and don't give Lord Yun to other families. good."

Ji Bingyuan seemed to have a heavy stone on her heart, only to hear Taifu Qu still laughing: "This kid has grown more and more outstanding in the past few years, and he has acted steadily. I heard that he went to Huangzhou to handle the case this time, and he handled it very well. Sophisticated, veterans like this aggressive and decisive attitude. To put it bluntly, I am ashamed that the grandchildren of my Qu family can't find anyone as courageous as Lord Yun. It is worthy of the emperor's careful teaching. When the time comes, the emperor There must be quite a few people who proposed marriage before me. This old minister is doing this for his own granddaughter. Of course, before the emperor, this old minister will definitely love this child as his own grandchild without lying. wronged him."

Ji Bingyuan had no choice but to say a few more words of modesty, and only said that he had to read the teachings again, and made the matter vague, and then smiled and wanted to keep the Grand Tutor for dinner in the palace, but Qu Taifu declined, and got up to say goodbye: " I am old and frail, and I am afraid that I will be ugly after staying in the palace for a long time, so I should go back to the residence first, the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, and he also needs to take care of his health, it would be great if he can have a caring and caring person by his side."

Ji Bingyuan got up, hand in hand to send the old master out, Ding Dai passed the message, and ordered Ding Dai to send the teacher to the gate of the palace, and then silently returned to the palace.

Ding Dai saw off old Mrs. Qu, went back to the palace in fear, saw Ji Bingyuan was still reading with a booklet as usual, saw him come in and asked, "Is Ji Xianger coming back today?"

Ding Dai said: "Yes, Commander Gao is here to play the report. When I return in the afternoon, I will go to the palace to pay the decree. The two sons and misses of Cheng Enbo also want to meet the saint. Thank you for your kindness. Originally, according to your oral order, I invited the two sons Go to Beijing with Miss to live in a house, and give them a banquet so that they can use it freely in the house."

Ji Bingyuan took the secret book and looked at it: "Auspicious son did a good job this time, but he killed all the thieves. It seems that tomorrow, the impeachment of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for not following the rules in handling the case, and the book of brutal and indiscriminate killing are coming again. Or The teacher understands that there must be something inside at a glance, no wonder he values ​​Ji Xianger so much, and his granddaughter is only 15 years old, so she is anxious to make me settle down."

Ding Dai didn't dare to say a word, Ji Bingyuan said: "The imperial court is also a watchful man. Ji Xianger handled this case well, I have to give him face. Tonight, the Hall of Supreme Harmony will host a banquet to reward him. This time the errand is beautiful, the two sons and misses of Cheng Enbo's residence should also have dinner together."
