Chapter 81 Shi Si's enlightenment, three smooth appearance

Mother Song looked serious and stood outside the brocade curtain, like a door god.

In the room, the eldest princess sat on the edge of the carved kang, sliding the lid in her hand, listening attentively to the eldest son.

Duke Wei wore a big red silk robe and only took the crown. Obviously, he returned from the governor's mansion and didn't have time to change his clothes. At this time, he sat on the red sandalwood chair on the left, with a slight sweat on the tip of his nose. His voice was particularly low and his expression was very serious: "After the morning's discussion, Sheng uploaded his son to the imperial study and said Although he scolded the Third Highness a lot, he later changed his mouth and still hoped that his mother could forgive this time and carefully consider Yichen's marriage.

In half a month, this is the second time that the emperor has edicted the Duke of Wei to go to the imperial study to talk, saying the same thing.

"Mother, his Highness... After all, it's not a big mistake because he was young and frivolous..." The Duke of Wei saw that the eldest princess just frowned and added a few hesitations: "The emperor seems to have made a decision to carry out the restructuring, so..." If the reform is carried out, it will inevitably cause controversy among the courtiers, and the emperor must try his best to win the trust. Although the Duke of Wei has no two hearts, in order to reassure the emperor, he must show it in action. Marriage is an attitude.

The eldest princess frowned a little more, but asked Huang, who had not been silent for a long time, "What do you think about Yichen's marriage?"

Huang was slightly stunned. Since the marriage proposal, her mother-in-law has not consulted her about the future of Yichen, and she also cautiously did not interfere. Unexpectedly, at this time, she suddenly asked in front of her. I couldn't help but look at the Duke of Wei, but saw him nod slightly. Huang answered thoughtfully: "My daughter-in-law just feels that Chen'er is not suitable for the Fourth Highness. Besides, the Empress... If Chen'er finally becomes the fourth princess, the Empress will certainly be dissatisfied with her. I'm afraid that Chen'er's days will be difficult in the future, but Third Highness... Although there was a disturbance, my mother was also worried about Chen'er's future, so she hesitated, but the Third Highness was in harmony with the prince, and the Empress also hoped that he would marry our house. If Chen'er became the third prince's concubine, the queen would be at ease and would also protect Chen'er in the future... The prince would be the emperor. With all your heart, you won't have any worries."

Hearing this, although the eldest princess still frowned, she nodded slightly, and Huang was relieved.

In fact, since the eldest princess learned that Yichen had lost the orchid hairpin, the first suspect was Huang.

After all, Huang has a personal Sanlang. Although she looks at Su Xun as a parent and child on the surface, she is not sure whether she is greedy or not.

If Huang coveted the title, naturally does not want Yichen to marry into the royal family and become Su Xing's help, then it is possible to use the orchid hairpin to make trouble and destroy Yichen's reputation.

The hairpin was redeemed from the pawnshop and its whereabouts are unknown, which has shown that someone has no intention.

The loss of the hairpin was, of course, leaked from the Ministry of Wei.

Huang is indeed suspicious.

The eldest princess has been hiding this matter in order to secretly observe Huang. This inquiry is a temptation.

Although Huang's words were not in the heart of the eldest princess, they were really for the sake of Yichen.

"Mother, the emperor and the empress dowager value the direct concubine, and neither of them will let the Fourth Highness and the prince seize power. Therefore, the son believes that Chen'er's marriage must be cautious and put the overall situation first." Duke Wei looked at the eldest princess, but did not say anything, "Chen'er must not be the fourth prince and concubine."

In fact, both the eldest princess and the Duke of Wei have reservations about the prince - the queen is committed to planning for the prince, encircling the powerful ministers, and consolidating the momentum of the East Palace, but the prince's temperament has always been a little wavering, and often a little absurd. For example, seven or eight years ago, the prince had a dispute with the sons of the courtiers. Persistence, so that he took people's lives, which caused the anger of the previous emperor, gave the two compensations to death, severely punished the eldest grandson to kneel down and was punished by whipping; for example, at present, the prince has been married for several years, but he has done such a vulgar thing with the sister of the crown princess...

But the crown prince is the crown prince. As long as the emperor does not change the East Palace, he must be loyal to him as a minister.

How could Duke Wei marry Chen Guifei and the fourth prince when he knew that they were ambitious?

If Yichen is the fourth prince's concubine, even if the Duke of Wei is not selfish, it will cause the fear of the queen and the crown prince. If he can't get the support of his father-in-law, he is afraid he will not treat Yichen well. Wei Guogong believes that compared with the "flower heart" of the third prince, it is really only a small regret.

The eldest princess also had the same idea as the Duke of Wei. Even if Yichen did not marry the third prince, she could never marry the fourth prince. Although she had other plans, she was still hesitating. In front of the Huang family, she did not want to say what she thought in her heart, so she nod and said perfunctorily: " This matter is not in a hurry for a while, and it will be decided after I discuss it with the Empress Dowager.

Huang thought that the eldest princess had been persuaded and couldn't help but be relieved. The next words were not as pressure as before: "Mother, Mrs. Wen handed over the post earlier, invited her daughter-in-law to travel in the river three days later, and specially posted a post to Chen'er. Her daughter-in-law did not dare to be arbitrary..."

This Mrs. Wen is the queen's sister. At present, she is the wife of Zhongkai in Chinese. She does not have frequent contact with Huang. This invitation is naturally for the marriage of Yichen and the third prince. I'm afraid there is also Su Xun and Zhen Mo. Because the eldest princess and the Duke of Wei considered the reputation of the prince, he and Zhen Mo Even Huang's private feelings are still hidden in the drums. Huang's son is not sure whether she will be invited or not when she sees the eldest princess's ambiguous attitude.

Thinking of the previous play performed by Zhen Mo in front of Su Xing, Huang knew that the eldest princess's impression of Zhen Mo was not the same as before, but Mrs. Zhen's side was also tight. In half a month, Huang had been invited many times, which really embarrassed Huang's family and decided to talk about this to the eldest princess first: "Mother, in fact, half a month ago , when the daughter-in-law went to Zhen's house, Mrs. Zhen mentioned that she wanted her fourth mother and our son..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a light cough from the Duke of Wei.

Huang is unknown, looking at the Duke of Wei...

On that day, in Kunren Palace, the queen raised this matter face to face. After Huang's return, she told Duke Wei that her husband had only one sentence - Xing'er's marriage was in charge of her mother.

Huang didn't mention it again, but now looking at the expression of Duke Wei, he is very unhappy...

Huang thought that even if Zhen Mo was a little careful and not honest, it was not a big mistake. Her identity matched with Xing Er. Why did Duke Wei reject her so much?

The eldest princess has no dissatisfaction, but said lightly: "These days, you are also working hard to deal with the Zhen family. Don't worry about this matter."

Huang was more confused, but he had to promise.

"But Mrs. Wen must have invited Mrs. Zhen, if she..."

"I also have a post from the Wen family. Don't go that day. I'll take Chen'er and Jing's two sisters here in person." The eldest princess finally decided.

Naturally, Huang does not dare to have any objection.

The Third Prince's Palace——

With a bang, a tea bowl of jade porcelain carved orchids fell on the gold brick floor and broke into two halves. The warm tea splashed everywhere and painted marks on Shi Si's yellow robe.

Shi Si knelt down with a bang, and the hot sweat on his forehead dripped down, but he didn't care about wiping, just crawling: "They are all small incompetence..."

"After more than ten days, you only found out a maidservant who was alive and dead. A good person disappeared out of thin air. There was nothing strange about it. It was all nonsense!" The red gold cloud pattern black brocade boots went back and forth, His Royal Highness a handsome face frost, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder brewing between his frowns.

These days, he played the seeds of infatuation, but the Duke of Wei still did not give a response. Yesterday, he entered the palace to say hello to the empress dowager. He happened to meet his good fourth brother. In front of the empress dowager, he even tauted him and said that the talented man had been affectionate since ancient times. While confessing his feelings to Aunt Su, he The hook rail woman was not involved clearly, and even the absurd behavior of Jing's plea came out, which was really convincing. The Empress Dowager was very unhappy and scolded him again. She only said that the original good fate was ruined by his misconduct. The implication was that she did not want to wrong Aunt Su.

The fourth prince looked proud, but how could he not let him be angry?

At this time, the third prince was only sure that he had won the fourth prince's calculation.

And the jade seal given by the emperor...

Together with the turmoil of Qianrao Pavilion, he was busy and anxious for several days, but he didn't notice that he had lost the jade seal! The maid around me reminded me and found that the jade seal had disappeared.

The jade seal has been close to the body, and it has not been taken off even when bathing. Naturally, it will not disappear for no reason. It must have been stolen when it was in a coma in Qianrao Pavilion that day.

But what's the purpose of that man stealing this thing?

The third prince was puzzled and became more and more anxious.

It can be explored for many days, but the behind-the-scenes black hand is still nowhere to be seen, and there is no trace of the jade seal.

Seeing the long kowtowing in front of him, the third prince became more and more impatient, and suddenly stood in front of Shi Si: "I'll give you another three days, if there is no further progress..." With a sneer, the third prince's eyes stood high, which made Shi Si's back with a dense layer of cold sweat.

Shi Si is a close confidant of the prince, and naturally knows the temperament of this master. He knows that this master is definitely not a soft-hearted person. If he doesn't find out anything, it will be a trivial matter to be punished. He is afraid that his Highness will be angry and pinch him to death such a slave, and he will not be like pinching an ant.

At present, Shi Si can't care about the lack of evidence, and has racked his brains to think of some doubts these days.

"Your Highness, I accidentally met a person who was a subordinate of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. It is said that his sister was on a job beside the Fifth Lady of the Su family. He once mentioned the girl in red... Xiao Yuan didn't pay attention to it. He casually talked a few words to him, only said that he had seen the girl in red..." Seeing the third prince look The change, the dark under the eyes became thicker, and Shi Si was scared and kowtowed repeatedly: "The little one did not tell his highness's identity... It was not until the Qianrao Pavilion incident that the little one found that the little man who informed the Zhu family also met in the chicken farm, so he felt puzzled... Because the little one and that Sanshun got to know each other in the chicken farm."

Su's five daughters? The third prince's eyebrows beat a few times and meditated for a moment.

"The more I think about it, the more I feel that Dong Sanshun is a little strange, as if he has the intention to make friends with the little one. After checking his nature, he is not a good gambler..."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" The third prince was furious.

"The small one didn't notice any evidence."

The third prince pondered for a while and made a decision very quickly: "Don't scare the snake, find a way to call that man...?"

"Dong Sanshun." Shi Si reported immediately.

"Let the little man of the Zhu family see this person secretly and determine whether he is the one who informed him." The third prince kicked Shi Si angrily: "It's in vain that you are usually smart. You can't think of such a simple method. Why don't get out and arrange it quickly!"

Shi Si was kicked out of the house.

If the third prince is still thinking about it, Su's fifth wife... If this matter really has something to do with her, it's really interesting!
