Femme Beauty

Today, Wang Ziteng went to court late, and Jia Lian had finished his lunch when he got home, and was going to rest for half an hour at noon to continue practicing the writing of the article.Hearing that Prince Teng was back, he asked the boy to tell him.

Entering Wang Ziteng's study room, Wang Ziteng had just changed from court clothes to a black robe with silver trim and sat in front of the desk.

"Sit down, let me tell you what you need to see me?"

"Yes!" After bowing and saluting, Jia Lian sat on the chair opposite Wang Ziteng, took out two letters from his father from his arms, and handed them to Wang Ziteng: "This is what my father asked me to bring to you, and the other is for you to leave." The way of your family, pass it on to my uncle. Our family doesn’t seem to be very good at the moment.”

"Hmm!" Wang Ziteng heard that it was Jia Lian's father's letter, quickly opened the wax seal and took out three thick sheets of letter paper. After reading it carefully, he was surprised.He put down the letter and looked at Jia Lian: "Your father said that Jia Rong's wife, the Qin family, is in the direct line of the late Prince Zhongyi, do you know that?"

Jia Lian looked at Wang Ziteng in surprise, he opened his mouth and bowed his head and said, "To tell you the truth, Uncle, I didn't know about this at first. But I was going to marry Brother Feng a few days ago, so I needed my brother's help. You also know , Baoyu, Brother Cong, and Brother Huan are all young. The only ones who can be counted are Brother Zhen and Brother Rong from Dongfu. For this matter, I specifically asked the old lady. Before leaving, listen to the old lady The girl in the wife's room discussed in private until she realized the ambiguity. It just said that the Qin family was raised by her father from outside. But if you really want to say why she was able to enter the East Mansion, it was because the Qin family should have She is the proud daughter of heaven. It’s just good luck playing tricks on people or something. It sounds strange to me. Originally, if my father didn’t say it in the letter today, he would have told his uncle. If this matter is true, it will definitely drag us father and son. Are you I know, my big brother Zhen is an asshole. If my father is just Yingying and Yanyan, then he is a veg. If you say something rebellious, I am afraid that he can drink and have fun even if the country mourns and the family is filial."

Jia Lian said sadly, with his head down and his hands tightly rubbing his sleeves.He didn't know why his father mentioned this matter in the letter.He originally wanted to mention it himself after meeting his uncle today.But this saves some trouble of explanation.

"Your father said that it was the news from his acquaintance over there. He asked me to report it in secret." Wang Ziteng decided not to avoid Jia Lian on this matter: "I don't know how the Holy Majesty views this matter. But if It’s the old sage who found out, so I’m afraid it will be a disturbance. What else do you have, even if you make it clear, I will use my brains to exonerate your father and son. When Prince Loyalty was alive, he was the prince for 40 years. In the end, he was framed for rebellion and assassinated by King Rong at the time. He is the elder brother of the old saint. The reason why the old saint rebelled was largely because of this elder brother. It would have been better if your family didn’t know about it. Not to mention, it would be a big problem to marry into one's own family. After all, the one who inherits the throne of Zhongyi County is the concubine from back then. The son of Linjun Wang did have a daughter back then, and that was what the old sage had been looking for for many years."

When Jia Lian heard about this, she was startled.Before Qin's death, Yuan Chun's ascension to the throne is said to be because of the secret report.Originally, they thought that the Holy Majesty's execution of the two governments was because of his involvement in the royal scandal.The loyal old prince was originally charged with treason, but now that he thinks about it, he might have other ways of doing it.He nodded again and again, looked outside and was a little embarrassed:

"I have learned this matter privately for many years. I will talk to my uncle this time. When my uncle reports it, he should be careful. After all, this matter has a lot to do with our old lady." Jia Lian looked at Wang Ziteng and carefully reviewed what he could do. What was revealed one by one:

"Our old lady was originally the cook when the old sage was still in the residence, and later she married my grandfather and became a second wife. The old man knew a thing or two about this, but now that the old lady is in charge, no one mentions it. It’s too late. Besides, it’s said that the old sage still sees her love back then, but I don’t know exactly how much. But speaking of this, there is a secret thing. When my second aunt gave birth to Baoyu The aunt of the third bedroom of the Zhen family also gave birth to a boy out of wedlock. She also named her Baoyu, and she was raised under the name of the third bedroom of the Zhen family. It is said that she looks and lives exactly like Baoyu. It is estimated that the old lady and my second aunt did not tell the truth to my uncle. The second aunt gave birth to not one, but two. I was young at the time, so I could hide. I heard it clearly, and it is said that the remaining child was sent to Jinling The old house. Later, I secretly asked my uncle to see it privately. It is said that it is not similar to Baoyu, but it is very similar to Brother Huan.

It's just that the second aunt is afraid that she doesn't know about this matter, and the old lady told a woman that this matter was hidden from the second aunt.He only said that although there were two elder brothers, one died.

This is the first, and the second is about the aunt of the Zhen family.I heard earlier that that aunt was the pillow of the missing King Linjun when he was in the northwest.Later, when the old sage came to power, he was found by the Zhen family for some reason.It is said that she is pregnant, so she has the current Zhen Baoyu.It's just that the old ladies of the two families have kept it a secret.If it weren't for my small body back then, I might not have been able to hear it if I could hide under the bed.I've been burying this in my heart for years..."

Jia Lian looked sad. Baoyu's life experience was very strange.It's just that although the brother in Jinling's old house has met him two or three times, the Jia family's rise is too fast and its decline is too fast.No matter what the old lady buried this step for, that brother was never recorded in the second uncle's name.At that time, I will take the imperial examination and re-enter the imperial court.

Wang Ziteng was so bombarded by the news that he sat stiff on the chair, he said slowly: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Every sentence is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. If the uncle doesn't believe it, you can find it in private at that time, and you won't be afraid to say it if you are tortured severely. The old lady has always been the old lady's confidant, no matter where the old lady goes. Face. Even if we see each other, we have to do what our grandparents say." Jia Lian was talking about Jia Mu's confidant mother-in-law and Lai Da's daughter-in-law.

Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Lian's burning eyes, lowered his eyes and said sharply: "Don't tell anyone about this matter. Even your father. Don't tell me. I'll see the situation before I talk about other things. You'd better do it as soon as possible. When you left the capital, your father decided to make a big fuss. If you leave early, it will be good for you to inherit the title or take the imperial examination in the future."

"I'll go back and discuss it with my father, but I'm afraid it would be wrong if I left a year ago." Jia Lian's worry was that the old lady would not let him go.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'll go south by boat after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The spring is warm and the river is easy to go. Even if your father is making a fuss, I'm afraid he will wait until the New Year's Eve. It's already the beginning of December, how can it be over?" This year."

Wang Ziteng put down the letter in his hand and shouted to the outside, a servant popped up to take the letter he handed over: "Master, what are your orders?"

"You go on the road yourself, and hand over this letter to Mr. Yan Zhenglin as soon as possible before the end of the year, and don't let people see it when you walk along the path." Wang Ziteng thought, this letter might contain similar secrets.Although he was curious, it was inconvenient to take it apart.Just waiting for the beginning of spring, if Ru Hai can send him a letter, then everything will be clear.

"Yes!" The visitor stuffed the letter into his arms, turned and left.Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Lian, and sighed that the old lady's boldness did not speak out, but he was also thinking about his lack of thoughtfulness in agreeing to marry his younger sister and his son-in-law's niece.But at this moment, things were already like this, all he could do was to find a way out for the Wang family.As long as the Wang family has a way out, then his younger sister will lose her rank at most, but it won't hurt her life.But his son-in-law Feng Ge'er and the boy in front of him have a chance to make a comeback.

Jia Lian lowered his head when he heard Wang Ziteng's sigh.My own affairs are quite private.If the old lady didn't speak up, she might be taken into the coffin by the old lady.

Wang Ziteng picked up a booklet, put it down again, turned his head to look around, and finally said, "Go to Mr. Yuan's place to practice writing articles first! I have something to go out for a while."

"Hey!" Jia Lian agreed, nodded and left.

Seeing Jia Lian leave, Wang Ziteng also changed into an official and went directly to the palace.

Wang Ziteng entered the Qianqing Palace and waited in the tea room on the side.The waiter served tea, looked at Mr. Wang who had entered the palace without an order, and inquired in a low voice: "Mr. Wang is going to meet the saint? Is it important?"

The person who asked was the little father-in-law in charge of the tea room, who was fourteen or fifteen years old.The surname is Qiao, and the single name is An.He is usually called Xiao Anzi, but only a few people know that this little father-in-law who serves tea and water is the godson of the chief governor of the Factory Guard Mansion.The future eunuch who will write the book, and the future governor.The current governor's surname is Zhang, and he is the chief eunuch next to the emperor.Many people believed that the relationship between the emperor and the emperor was not harmonious, because the emperor fled before the battle and fled Jinling with his favorite concubine and his son, leaving the little emperor who had not yet worn the crown alone to manage a lot of mess.Even if the little emperor wasted his strength and used veteran generals to block the collapse of the pass, it is undeniable that if the northern barbarians did not suddenly invade, the old emperor's next successor would definitely be the noble concubine's beloved son, King Zhongshun.

It's a pity that only the close ministers of the emperors of the two dynasties, such as Tong Ruhai, know about it.The current emperor is actually the result of the emperor's secret establishment of a reserve.The last five years of incompetent behavior by the last empress was to allow the new empress to gain a foothold quickly after abdicating the throne.Therefore, the emperor alienated early and punished Zhang Zhibi, and asked Zhang Zhibi to get close to the new emperor's adoptive mother, Concubine Yun.To create an influence, Xiao Qiaozi finally became the default eunuch who wrote the book.

About the loyal old prince. "Wang Ziteng revealed a little, he believed that this little father-in-law Qiao would definitely help him. Sure enough, after hearing his words, little father-in-law Qiao showed a profound expression, turned around and handed a cup of truffle to Wang Ziteng: "Master Wang, let me tell you the truth. , Where did the news come from the Inner Palace just now, the Holy Majesty is a little angry at present, Mr. Wang should think about it when he speaks.Now is not the time of the past, Mr. Wang will drink some truffles first.The people below are filial to my godfather, but if this Longjing godfather doesn't love me, he will make some in private. "

"Thank you, Eunuch Qiao, for your reminder." Wang Ziteng nodded, and sat down next to Eunuch Qiao and listened to his ears: "Can Eunuch Qiao give me another reminder, who is kneeling inside at this time?"

"Ouch..." Eunuch Qiao raised his lotus fingers, turned his head and said in a loud voice: "Master Wang asked this, who is in it... Isn't it Master Fan who Yuqian said that he was going to hit the pillar. He is still kneeling now... ...It's been half an hour."

"Oh..." Wang Ziteng nodded his head, sighed and said, "Lord Fan is the same, the emperor just returned to Luan like this, really shouldn't!"

Who said no? "Eunuch Qiao lowered his head and smiled as he fiddled with the tea cover: "The miscellaneous family has also mentioned it before, so Master Fan should not confront you.In this palace, among other things, there are many masters.The master on the left... the master on the right.Mr. Fan has been famous forever, and the lower class of the Zajia family will have a hard life.It's cold, and the master is angry, either by throwing it or smashing it, or by throwing tea and thick soup.There is no one to warm you up when you are sick or in pain.What a pity! "Speaking, Eunuch Qiao patted his legs and sighed.

At this time, the little father-in-law outside came in and whispered in his ear: "Little Anzi, Manager Zhang is calling you!"

Eunuch Qiao pushed the little eunuch away with a smile, and put down the tea bowl: "My lord, drink tea slowly. If the water is not enough, I will ask someone to fill it up. I guess it will take an hour and a half! There is still something to do at Zajia, just Slack!"

"It's okay, Eunuch, go slowly!" Wang Ziteng nodded, took out a small sachet from his pocket and handed it to Eunuch Qiao: "This is what Eunuch Qiao entrusted last time. I forgot."

Eunuch Qiao looked at the sachet of the cultivator Baihe Wangsong, and pursed his lips with a smile: "Master Wang is busy, and the miscellaneous family doesn't care. This handicraft, if you want me to say it, is better than Ruifuxiang's." He stayed by his waist without avoiding suspicion. On the body, there is a delicate sandalwood smell inside.After tidying up his collar, he picked up the Buddha dust and went out.

Wang Ziteng picked up the tea bowl, picked up the tea leaves and took a sip.This truffle is full of thickness, although it is also made of new tea, after all, it is not as frivolous as Meiyu, but it is in line with his state of mind at this time.

Eunuch Qiao walked into the inner hall, approached his godfather in small steps, bowed and asked in a low voice, "Why are you still kneeling?"

Don't you kneel or stand? "Boss supervisor Zhang glared at his adopted son: "What's going on outside? "

Eunuch Qiao looked around and took off the sachet on his waist and handed it to his godfather: "Master Wang presented it. He said that he had something important to face, but this is in the way here, let alone where the prince is. Our internal government orders must also be postponed."

Chief Supervisor Zhang took out the note from the sachet, rubbed it open and saw that it read: "Daughter of the Qin family, may be the Queen of Linjun", and his heart tightened.Glancing at the censor who was already kneeling and unable to support himself, he walked up to the golden desk not far away and presented the note: "Your Majesty, the secret note of Lord Wang Ziteng."

The young Zhaoren Emperor Mu Chengze looked at the words on the note, and his expression froze.He glared at the censor who was kneeling below, and asked in a low voice, "Where is he?"

"The pantry is behind!"

"Let him in." Mu Chengze snorted coldly and looked at Fan Yushi Zhongcheng below: "Master Fan made me unfilial, so I don't have to consider Mr. Fan's previous reputation. Let's go to Minghui Hall to repair books tomorrow! What?" When Lord Fan has figured out Xiao, when will Lord Fan come to teach me how to be an emperor?"

Mu Chengze was anxious to see Wang Ziteng, so he decided to get to know this confused censor quickly.When the middle-aged people in the underground heard the words, they quickly kowtowed and confessed their crimes.Mu Chengze snorted coldly: "Why, didn't you hear that Mr. Wang is looking for me for military affairs? Do you still ask me to send you?"

"Resignation, my minister... Resignation, my minister..." Scared by the emperor, he scrambled away.

Mu Chengze glanced at that person with contempt, just in time to watch Wang Ziteng face to face with that person.Wang Ziteng avoided letting the man go first, then strode into the inner hall, saluted, and waited until the eunuchs closed the doors and windows to clear the mouth before speaking slowly: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. But please forgive me." The crime of Weichen Evening News."

"Don't talk about those nonsense, what is there between you and me? Tell me." Recently, Zhezi and some ministers have made his head burnt out by Zhezi and some ministers regarding the direction of the emperor's return to Luan, and he is quite upset.

"This is a private letter written by first-class general Jia She to my minister after Rong Guogong, please read it!" Wang Ziteng took out the letter from Jia She, walked forward a few steps, and put it on the emperor's case with his own hands.Mu Chengze took out the letter paper, read it carefully, and frowned: "This Jia Amnesty...is he confused or understands?"

"This..." Wang Ziteng said with some hesitation, "I think it's just pretending to understand."

"Hmph!" Mu Chengze snorted, and threw away the letter: "Qiaoer, come and check this matter for me."

The one who was replaced by Qiaoer was the old father-in-law Qiao, who was called Xiao Anzi.But his last name is Joe.So the emperor called Qiaoer for convenience.

"Slave complies with the order! Submit it in ten days!" Eunuch Qiao took the letter and envelope, confidently put them in his arms, and withdrew.

Mu Chengze leaned on the cushion outside and looked at Wang Ziteng: "Yunfei, what do you think?" He asked Wang Ziteng's attitude, and shouted Wang Ziteng's name, his attitude was very obvious.This is a private conversation and does not affect the operation of the court.

Wang Ziteng thought for a while and said: "In the early years, my niece was young, and I took her as a son-in-law, so I found Jia She's son to be my son-in-law, which meant that I was a son-in-law. But my younger sister believed in her eldest daughter's son-in-law. , has the qualifications to make progress, after all, I was born on the first day of the first lunar month. I was entrusted to be sent to the palace. I originally thought that I would wait until I was about the same age, so I begged the emperor to let her out of the palace. My own I don't even want a niece, let alone a nephew. It's just that I can't think of it. The old lady of the Jia family is afraid that I won't give me enough strength, so she went to ask Concubine Zhen. Right now, the girl has been arranged by Concubine Zhen Where is the emperor?"

"It's the first day of the first lunar month, so I have to ask for it?" Mu Chengze sneered, he understood Wang Ziteng's attitude and turned his head and smiled: "Then let's release the palace next year! Is the situation in Rongguo Mansion really so chaotic?"

"I'm afraid it's even more chaotic than this!" Wang Ziteng was a little reserved and didn't say much.But listening to his words, Mu Chengze knew that there was something going on.Anyone who is involved in the royal secrets will not be let go, and he knows this rule.She also didn't want to embarrass the person who used to take care of her like an elder brother, she nodded: "You send a message to Jia She, I want to have a good year!"

"Yes!" Wang Ziteng nodded, knowing that the emperor had half agreed.The remaining half depends on whether Enhou can succeed.

"By the way, since you said you're the son-in-law...then take the scientific examination next year? How is your character?" Mu Chengze knew that his subject was childless, and the problem was not the woman but himself.

"He's clever!" Wang Ziteng joked about Jia Lian's book making and Jia's mother delivering books, and Mu Chengze laughed softly.Then he touched his chin and leaned against the imperial case with a smile: "It's really clever, but I don't know if it will be a clever one in the future."

"This... it's like the sea!" Wang Ziteng pursed his lips and smiled: "This child only wants to leave the Rongguo Mansion, change his family and become a noble person. Although his father is not worth anything, he never Stopped it. This time I asked him to go on the road after the first day of junior high school. If Ruhai can accept him, he will be a useful person in the future."

"That's right... a big family..." Mu Chengze pursed his lips and rubbed his forehead: "Okay, don't go back now that it's getting dark. Help me tonight, where is the Beiya pass?" things. Eat together!"

"Yes!" Wang Ziteng bowed his hands and let Kailai Mu Chengze leave the imperial case and the two went around to the small study room, where the little eunuch served tea and the two sat and waited for their meal.
