Chapter 86 Changes, Chaos the Overall
When Kong Xilin stepped into the ginkgo garden of the third prince's mansion, he heard a melodious sound of the piano, splitting flowers and willows. Between the lingering Wuke, he seemed to pour out his heart. However, when he followed the sound of the piano to a red pavilion, he suddenly heard the sad music turn, like the sonorous of a sword, the disease of an iron horse, and a slight raise of his eyes. Seeing that the third prince was dressed in black, his sleeves were flying, and his black eyebrows were tilted. Although there was still some distance, he had already felt the sharp eyes in his eyes.
Unconsciously, he stopped outside the pavilion. Kong Xilin folded the fan and slapped his palm.
The exciting music gradually followed, and the turbulence roared down the waterfall, pouring into the sharp stone mountain stream, converging into a rapid flow.
But when the ten fingers stopped slightly, the sound of the piano curled away.
But when the pure sound and rhyme stop, the fingertips fell gently again, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were drifting away. On the bloody battlefield, there was a north wind galloping and rolled up the yellow sand like fog.
"Your Highness is in great interest today." It was not until the sound of Qin completely dissipated and returned to calm. Whether it was sad, fierce, or even melanguiled, all of it was far away and restored to the quiet situation of the beautiful wind and beautiful red pavilion, Kong Xilin clasped in and did not bow. He just sat on the stone stool in the pavilion, with slightly slender eyes and ambiguous eyes, and looked at the third prince. A gloomy and exciting complex look.
"This song is unheard of. Is it written by Your Highness himself?" Kong Xilin asked again, but as soon as the words fell, he saw a page of piano score on the side of the piano case, and the handwriting was particularly beautiful. It seemed that the woman had written a book. Kong Xilin couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly.
The third prince got up from the front of the piano and sat on Kong Xi's side. He took a sip of tea first, as if he calmed down. Then he said, "Do you know who I've been tricked this time?"
"Have you found it?" Kong Xilin spread the folding fan, shook it a few times, and frowned and thought, "Since you ask this, it has nothing to do with the fourth prince."
Shi Si was reminded by the third prince and immediately arranged to invite Dong Sanshun to drink and let Zhu Dalang's little man hide in a corner to peep. As a result, the young man recognized Dong Sanshun, saying that it was the person he met by chance in the chicken farm. It was also he who informed him about Qianlao Pavilion that day.
"It's Su's Fifth Niang." The third prince seemed to gritt his teeth and spit out these five words.
Kong Xilin suffocated with a folding fan in his hand and seemed to have not woken up for a while. Who is this Su's fifth mother?
"The second daughter of Duke Wei, the sister of Aunt Su." The third prince squeezed out this sentence again, but the expression made people unable to tell whether it was depressed, angry, or excited?
Kong Xilin laughed and leaned forward and back. When he saw the third prince's eyes like arrows, chasing him and shooting constantly, he turned his laughter into a few coughs, clenched his fists against his lips, and jokingly met the eyes of the third prince: "Your Highness, did you fall into the hands of a beauty this time?"
The third prince snorted coldly and suddenly stepped forward and pulled the piano score on the piano table tightly in the palm of his hand, but after all... patted it on the stone table.
Kong Xilin's eyes turned around the piano score and on the face of the third prince. Then he bent the corners of his lips: "Your Highness, I have said that your face that overturns all sentient beings will certainly lead to disaster."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Your Highness is really fascinated by the authorities. The fifth wife of the Su must have been moved by you, so she didn't want to be robbed of her marriage by her eldest sister and caused such a disturbance."
"You mean that Su's Wu Niang is for this reason?"
Seeing that the third prince raised his eyebrows and a happy mood surged in his eyes, Kong Xilin's smile was no longer so happy. He shook the folding fan in his hand and asked, "Your Highness, do you really think so?"
The third prince looked at this inverted friendship doubtfully and did not bypass the bend for a moment.
"Dare to ask Your Highness, how old are Su's five women? Is it the right age to get married now?
"Dare to ask Your Highness, even if she breaks the marriage of her eldest sister, can she stop other women from marrying Your Highness as a concubine?"
"Dare to ask Your Highness, if the eldest princess doesn't want Aunt Su to be the third prince's concubine, is she willing to let the fifth lady be Her Royal Highness's concubine?"
Once asked three questions, the third prince understood.
Su's Wu Niang's behavior is not as simple as hiding affection for him.
God knows that since he affirmed this, his heart has been ups and downs. When he entered the palace in the morning, he almost showed a flaw in front of the queen. After returning home, he did not think about it carefully.
"Your Highness, Su's fifth wife is just a boudoir. How do you know the whereabouts of Your Highness? How can I buy the maidservants around the red clothes and give medicine to Your Highness? How can the maidservant be collected properly without any trace? And she wants to destroy His Highness's marriage and just pick up the fat pig of the Zhu family to go to Qianrao Pavilion to make trouble. Why did she steal His Highness's jade seal? Kong Xilin followed these questions, which made the third prince full of doubts.
"You mean..."
"This matter may be related to the Duke of Wei, but it may not be the handwriting of Su's Fifth Niang."
The third prince Yilin: "Are you suspicious of the Duke of Wei or the eldest princess?"
"But I also feel very confused. If the eldest princess doesn't want her granddaughter to be the third prince's concubine, she can frankly refuse, and there is no need to stir up the masses like this. If you want to destroy your Highness's reputation..." Your Highness, your own reputation is not very good. Besides, it's not a hook bar to look for fun, it's really not "horrible". "That thing.
So the two of them communicated like this, but they both fell into the clouds. They only felt that the doubts were not solved, but also made the truth even more complicated.
Kong Xilin asked, "These are not the most important for the time being. What is important is how to save them?" Did you give up the Duke of Wei?"
The Duke of Wei holds the forbidden army and plays a vital role in the battle for the crown prince. How can the third prince give up?
"My imperial concubine can only be Su's daughter, but it seems to be Xu Tuzhi." After waiting for a moment, Kong Xilin saw the third prince's eyebrows stretched and said this.
Xu Xu Tuzhi? The marriage is at the moment. How can we do it slowly? Kong Xilin's eyebrows hung high and he was puzzled.
The third prince picked up the piano score again. After a shallow smile, he shook the sleeves of the crow's blue clothes, but when he saw a plum tree, he seemed to rise up in the wind: "Xiaowu, I'm not free today. I won't greet you, please do it." Unexpectedly, he went to the field.
Kong Xilin was stunned for a while and remembered the words of the third prince endlessly, which was only a little clear.
You must marry Su's daughter. Didn't Your Highness say that you must marry Aunt Su before? It seems that...
With a frown, Kong Xilin looked at the figure walking away. Complex emotions flowed in his eyes and stood alone in the red pavilion for a long time.
The golden beast half squatted in the corner of the screen, with its head raised its head high, and the fragrance of smoke came out between its copper lips. On the sandalwood beauty bed carved with begonias, she hung down a long crow's long clothes, and a red plum embroidered with red silk was still flying in the breeze involved outside the window. The man on the couch leaned obliquely with one arm supported his head and raised his arm slightly, like fat jade. Between the carved five fingers, playing with the exquisitely carved orchid hairpin, the corners of the lips rolled up a touch of enchanting, and the golden sun outside the window reflected at the bottom of his eyes, like the color of glass, flowing with complex and unclear emotions.
On that day, I collected this orchid hairpin. Originally, I wanted to wait for the marriage from the Holy Lord. After the marriage with Aunt Su was settled, I returned it to the original owner to win the hearts of the beautiful woman. Unexpectedly, things had reached this point.
The third prince turned the orchid hairpin slightly, and the flying corners of his eyes suddenly became more complicated.
From the beginning, he never thought of using this private property of the boudoir to force the beautiful woman to succumb.
Who is the eldest princess? If she deliberately rejects this marriage and relies on an orchid hairpin alone, can she force the eldest princess to compromise? The third prince did not have such a fluke at all. He was almost sure that as long as he took the orchid hairpin to the eldest princess to threaten him, things would really come to the point where nothing happened.
But at this time... the orchid hairpin may not be useless.
While the third prince was calculating the next plan, in a trance, the fresh and beautiful face of the cardamom girl suddenly appeared. Her dark eyes looked forward to it, and her eyes were as clear as a stream. With only a slight touch, she could go straight into her heart.
Suddenly, the third prince held the cold jade hairpin tightly in the palm of his hand, and a decision made him stretch his eyebrows.
At the same time, in the back/court corridor of Yuanying Hall, while tasting Qingming, she was paying attention to the situation in the tea hall. Suddenly, she felt a slight itching in her nose and couldn't help sneezing a few times. Following that, she felt an inexplicable chill rising in her vest. She couldn't help raising her eyes and looked at it for a few times. Jinyang, who was slightly slow but still brilliant, muttered, "Although it is near the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can't feel the autumn. Why did I suddenly tremble?"
In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival of three years.
On this day of the year, the emperor will invite hundreds of officials, but it is at noon on August 15. Although there is also a palace banquet in the evening, it is limited to the emperor and the concubines of the harem, and rarely invites others.
But a few days ago, the Empress Dowager had a decree that several nobles were invited to this year's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, including the Duke of Wei, including Jianning Houfu, Zhenfu, Kongfu, and Shangshufu.
Naturally, it's still for the prince to choose a concubine.
As the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Wei, Yichen, the scenery and Liu Niang were all invited, so the three women came to Yuanyingtang today to try on the colorful dresses that were made to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
However, at this time, the eldest princess and Ychen got together with everyone and talked privately in the tea room. Yon-jing and Liu Niang waited in the back/court. Liu Niang had been reading a pile of mansions several months ago, and even the sneezes of the scenery did not wake her up.
Binjing pays attention to the expression of his grandmother and Yuchen.
Yichen sat next to his grandmother, always with dignified eyes and looked very shy.
Yi Jing guessed that her grandmother was discussing marriage with her.
Because it was far away, beautiful scenery naturally couldn't hear the two people's words, but looking at the grandmother's expression, it was very kind, and the eldest sister... twisted for half a day before finally nodded slightly, and beautiful scenery saw her grandmother smiling very comfort.
In this way, an agreement has been reached, and the scenery is both excited and worried. I don't know who my grandmother's favorite prince is.
But suddenly heard a "pop" sound, and saw Liu Niang shooting up, still holding a copy of the mansion in her hand. The two beautiful eyebrows frowned into a dead knot, and her tone was very solemn, and she suddenly realized: "So it is."
"Six sisters finally found the answer?" Ying's mind was shaken back by this palm and asked.
It turned out that the two were still discussing the recent incident in the Lvqing Garden - that is, the case of the murder of Zheng Nailing, Zhizhou, Southern Zhejiang Province. The judgment of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice actually made their two boudoir women feel a little unusual, only that the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice was too hasty to judge the case, so today is the eldest princess. Discuss it in front of you.
Zheng Naining was an official of the imperial court. Soon after he took office, he died, so that the emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation. Unexpectedly, he "discovered out" that he died at the hands of his wife, and the murderer had touched the wall and died without evidence. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have closed the case.
There is no proof of death, which more or less reminds Jing of his own end in his previous life.
The eldest princess listened to the words of her two granddaughters, but did not say anything. Instead, she asked Linglong to copy the residence half a year ago and let Yijing and Liu Niang read them in the back/court. Beautiful scenery was quite absent-minded, but Liu Niang was absorbed.
"Look, the incident in southern Zhejiang has caused a disturbance before. Some imperial history once impeached Southern Zhejiang officials for personal gain and fished the people, but they were attacked by a group of officials in Southern Zhejiang, and finally beheaded. After that, the emperor appointed Zhengzhou Zhi, and he didn't want this strange thing to happen again." Liu Niang spread out several mansions and showed them to Yijing. She was very excited: "The emperor pays so much attention to the murder of Zheng Zhizhou. It can be seen that the officialdom of Southern Zhejiang is really strange."
Yi Jing looked at the copies of those mansions, and very much agreed with Liu Niang's opinions. He thought deeply for a while: "The guilty imperial history was originally a son of a family, and he was very close to Qin."
Liu Niang also frequently nods: "And Dali Temple and the Minister of Criminal Justice are Jin Xiang's former officials and in-laws."
The two girls exchanged a look, and their hearts were a little heavy. The battle between the two reached such an extent.
Bingjing couldn't help thinking that at present, the imperial concubine chose major events. In addition to her parents and sisters, the cousins of Jianning Houfu, Qin Xiang and the wives of Jin Xiangfu were also involved.
In the previous life, the daughter of the Jin family was selected as the fourth prince's concubine, the daughter of the Qin family was the side concubine of the crown prince, the second daughter of the Zhuo family married the second prince, and Huang Wuniang, the cousin of Jianning Houfu, finally married the prince of Yangquan.
But in this life, seeing that the fate of the eldest sister and the third prince has been changed, I don't know what kind of change will happen to the fate of the rest of the people.
Yi Jing vaguely remembers that in her previous life, Qin Sanniang lost her position as a prince's concubine and became a crown concubine because of the palace banquet. For this reason, Qin Xiang seemed to be extremely frustrated, and some noble courtiers discussed it. It seems that the emperor still favored the gold prime minister, so that those who watched and watched chose the golden phase one after another to let the gold phase have power power. Great vibration.
Jin Liuniang became the fourth prince's concubine, and was not liked by the queen, but she was good at dancing with eight sides, and she did not let the queen pick out any mistakes and omissions. Because of the support of the Kim family, the fourth prince became more and more powerful. Later, the prince was assassinated, and the courtiers called for the fourth prince as the crown prince. Seventy-eight out of ten.
However, Qin Sanniang regarded herself as a high and unwilling to be a concubine, but she could not disobey the holy order. She could only be wronged and enter the East Palace. She not only had a very tense relationship with the crown princess, but also the two noble concubines, who also repeatedly clashed with Qin Sanniang.
Later, Qin Sanniang actually chose three feet of white silk to throw the ring.
Of course, in that deep palace, whether Qin Sanniang was humiliated or persecuted to death is really a mystery.
And in this life, I don't know what will happen at the palace banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and whether the fate of these noble women will remain the same.
Yingjing was also a little stunned for a moment. Looking at her grandmother and eldest sister in the teahouse, she suddenly became a little worried... She knew the afterthought and went her own way to disturb this fate, but will this fate be changed as expected? And because of her intervention, she is completely uncertain about how the future will develop.
But at this point, it seems that there is no other choice. The political events and the rise and fall of the country are not something that a boudoir can control. What she wants is just her relatives around her who can be happy and worry-free.
Binjing sighed helplessly.
