[Comprehensive] The number one cannon fodder

Su Xueyun saw that Zhu Pinting looked helpless, so she took the initiative to ask: "On the grand master's birthday, the emperor knew that Zhu Zijian used his power for personal gain to deprive Zhou Wenbin of the exam qualification. Is it related to that?"

Zhu Pinting nodded and said: "It is indeed because of that incident, but even if there was no incident that day, I still plan to expose Zhu Zijian's villainous behavior in front of my father! After my father returned from the Grand Master's Mansion that day, As soon as he saw Zhu Zijian, he slapped him. No matter what the villain explained, he would not listen. I was relieved to see it, but my father was angry at me again! Didn’t say anything, what does it have to do with me if he’s not happy? And that bad woman kept fanning the flames and saying bad things about me, I was almost grounded by my father! I’m so pissed off!”

An An added next to him: "It's not that I was almost grounded, it was really grounded. Today we sneaked out, and we don't know what punishment we will receive when we go back."

Su Xueyun smiled, and said meaningfully: "That day at the grand master's birthday banquet, my husband and two of his friends showed their talents, and were appreciated by the emperor, and they were given seats, second only to the prince. "

Zhu Pinting was surprised: "Your husband's two friends? Is there Wen Zhengming?" Asked, she immediately sat up straight, and explained with a blushing face, "I mean... your husband's two friends are who?"

Zhu Xiaolian said with a smile: "Wen Bin and Zheng Ming, they have performed very well. The emperor attaches great importance to them, and said that they will be made officials after Enke passed. I think as long as there are no accidents, they will be fine in the future." Days passed."

Zhu Pinting said happily: "Really? That's really great! He has always determined to serve the country, and now he can get his wish."

Su Xueyun joked: "Who is that 'he' you mentioned? Why can't we understand?"

Zhu Pinting's face was completely red, and then she found that Su Xueyun and the others had a clear expression on their faces, and she said angrily, "Oh! You guys tease me together! That's right, I like Wen Zhengming, and I dare to admit it if I like it. I said the same to my father. He is so good, so righteous, and so principled, isn't it normal for me to like him?" Her expression changed suddenly, and she frowned, "My father never scolds me for no reason. , then he lost his temper with me that day because of Wen Zhengming?"

An An said strangely: "But why? Mr. Wen is not appreciated by the emperor, and it has no effect on the prince at all. If the prince does not want you to be with Mr. Wen, Miss, even if Mr. Wen enters the court as an official, he is not as noble as the prince. Why did he scold you because of Mr. Wen?"

Su Xueyun reminded: "Maybe it's because Zhengming got the emperor's blue eyes and hindered some of the prince's plans? As far as I know, Zhengming was invited to the palace once before, but he was not very happy when he came back. We asked him and he didn't say anything. It's just that he studied harder and harder. I can see that he has something on his mind, but he is very stubborn, and we really have nothing to do if he doesn't want to say it. "

Qiuxiang nodded and said, "Yes, those few days when Zhengming came to our house to eat, he didn't know what to eat. You should know that he likes to eat our food the most."

Zhu Pinting thought wildly for a long time, then suddenly slapped the table and said: "I thought of it! When you first arrived in the capital, I heard Zhu Zijian and his subordinates say that they would abolish Wen Zhengming's hands so that he could not take the imperial examination." , I couldn’t win the first prize. I told my father about it, and Zhu Zijian, of course, didn’t admit it, but my father scolded him severely, and then I forgot about it. Thinking about it now At that time, my father would scold Zhu Zijian because he didn't know that I liked Wen Zhengming. After he knew, he insisted that Wen Zhengming was not suitable for me. When Wen Zhengming went to my house that day, my father took advantage of me to dress up in the room. I know what I said to him, but when I went out, he had already left, and only left me a letter, saying that he was not good enough for me... I was really pissed off!"

Su Xueyun and the others waited for her to vent for a long time, until Xiao Er brought the food, Su Xueyun persuaded: "Since we have found the reason, there must be a solution, Pin Ting, don't be angry, eat something first. Thinking while eating, by the way, do you know why the prince doesn't like Zhengming?"

Zhu Pinting bit a piece of meat sullenly, and said in a low voice: "My father said that Wen Zhengming is too pedantic to be a great talent. But I like Wen Zhengming because he is upright, and I don't want him to be a high-ranking official. My father is a prince, and I was born as a princess, so I can't elevate my status by marrying anyone, can I?"

Su Xueyun raised her eyebrows slightly, "That's not necessarily the case. Our Daming really can't raise your status, but there are other places, such as Tatars, where you can be a princess, and you will be the queen of Tatars in the future."

Zhu Pinting choked instantly and kept patting her chest.An An hurried forward to help, and it took a while to get over it.Zhu Pinting's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Is this possible? Qiuyue, don't scare me, I'm timid!"

Zhu Xiaolian said while eating: "My sister-in-law is never scary, she said it is possible, it must be possible."

Zhu Pinting stood up abruptly and paced anxiously in the box, "It's over, my father is entertaining the Tatar prince these two days, I thought they were talking about important national affairs, and didn't pay attention at all. It's over, if my father What if you really want to marry me to a Tatar prince? My father is very authoritarian, and he won’t listen to my opinions at all.” She stopped and said in a desperate tone, “There’s no other way. Wen Zhengming and I eloped! Just go to a place where my father can't find us."

Zhu Pinting rushed over and grabbed Su Xueyun's hand for help: "Qiuyue, Wen Zhengming said you are very smart and capable, please help me, I really can't do anything, if I tell me where to go, my father won't let you go!" Find out, I can't marry a Tartar prince!"

An An was so frightened that she almost cried, she pulled Zhu Pinting's sleeve and said, "Miss, you can't leave, what should I do if you leave? If the master finds out, he will beat me to death, please, miss. "

Zhu Pinting looked at An An helplessly, "What should I do? Otherwise, An An, come with me!"

Su Xueyun patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't be in a hurry, we haven't finished talking, why are you in a hurry? Although the prince has a high position and authority, it doesn't mean that we can't stop his decision. You can see that he was so angry on the grand master's birthday, it must be because something happened to him that didn't go his way, and he can't get everything he wants."

Zhu Pinting smiled and said, "That's right, Grand Master Hua is the only one in the court who can check and balance my father, and he admires Wen Zhengming very much. Do you want me to go to Grand Master for help?"

Qiu Xiang shook her head and said, "No, Ping Ting, I know the grand master's personality, he will never help this kind of help, he will only participate in the prince's lax management of the family."

Su Xueyun smiled, got up and pushed Zhu Pinting back to the seat, and said: "The method I said has nothing to do with the grand master, but don't forget, the emperor also admires Wen Zhengming. As long as Wen Zhengming wins the first prize, he will It is even more important in the emperor's heart. Then he will ask the emperor to give you a marriage when he is in a good mood. The emperor will definitely agree, and even the prince will not be able to refuse. So we only need to guarantee you before the end of Enke Just don't get engaged, for example, to divert the prince's attention."

Zhu Pinting nodded thoughtfully and said: "That's right, no one can object to the marriage granted by the emperor. Eh? But it's not easy to talk about being the number one scholar? What if Wen Zhengming fails the exam?"

"I have seen his articles, and I think he will be able to go to high school. Even if he really fails, a student who is remembered by the emperor has a better future than the number one scholar, and he can still ask the emperor to marry him." Su Xueyun thought of the selfish The prince felt a little disgusted in his heart, but seeing the princess who was arrogant on the surface but actually simple and bold, she couldn't help but help out with ideas.

Zhu Pinting looked at her curiously, and asked, "Then what? How can I divert my father's attention?"

Su Xueyun reminded: "Don't you hate that woman? You can start with her, just to give yourself a sigh of relief."

Zhu Pinting clapped her hands in praise, but then she said in a daze: "But I can't beat her. For so many years, every time the two of us met, my father always scolded me. That fox spirit pissed off my mother, and then She blows pillow with my father, confronts me everywhere, and only my father believes that she is gentle and kind!"

Zhu Xiaolian said with some fear: "No way! There are so many intrigues in your palace? It's not safe to be a princess, and you may be killed by other women. Does it mean that the higher the official position, the less peaceful the backyard? Woolen cloth?"

Zhu Pinting nodded logically, "Of course, how many concubines do you think there are in the emperor's backyard? The queen is so good, and the emperor has no respect for her."

Su Xueyun made gestures and said: "Be careful that the walls have ears, we don't have to worry about the emperor's backyard. Let's talk about that woman, since you said she's doing the same thing to the face, then she'll be able to show her feet sooner or later. You can try Every time you meet her, you deliberately stand in front of the door, so that you can find out immediately when your father comes back, but she doesn't know anything, and it is very likely to show her true colors. Also, you can carefully monitor her and see See if she has any actions that are not good for the prince. As for you saying that you suffer every time there is a conflict, you can try not to be so tough, and occasionally being wronged will make your father feel guilty."

Zhu Pingting snorted coldly, "Who cares about his guilt? He gave the place where my mother lived to be a Buddhist temple for that woman. His guilt is useless at all. But now the situation is urgent, so I have to try it anyway. , no matter what the result is, I have nothing to lose anyway, at worst, I will be imprisoned by him again!"

Su Xueyun nodded, and reminded: "You can pay attention to the matter between you and Prince Tatar. If the prince and Prince Tatar really mean that, I think you can secretly explain the truth to Prince Tatar. Is he really a Prince, you may not be unreasonable and forceful, but if the prince has already opened his mouth to be engaged to him, it would be too hurtful for you to go back on your word afterwards. You must know that he came here to represent not only himself, but also their Tatars .”

Zhu Pinting listened to everything, thought over and over again, and felt that what Su Xueyun said was reasonable, and the method was also feasible, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "Qiuyue, you are really smart, you can come up with it in just one meal. There are so many ways, no wonder you and your husband and wife are loving, and you get along so well with your sister and sister-in-law. I heard from Wen Zhengming that he admires you and your husband. Even the first time I saw you, I couldn’t help it. I like you."

Su Xueyun smiled and said: "In fact, as long as you calm down and think carefully, there is always a way. I just have experienced a lot in the world, so I can figure out a way to deal with it so quickly. You can go to Zhujia to meet us for tea when you have time in the future Chat, we welcome you."

Zhu Pinting said happily: "Okay, thank you very much for today, I will start to be careful when I get back, that fox spirit, I don't believe I can't catch her fox tail!"
