Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 673
Prince: Just now I asked the prime minister to recommend Jing Rong, if he objected, he would offend both the prime minister and Jing Rong at the same time!At this point, the father is still so eccentric!Don't ask Fifth Emperor Brother first but ask him!

"Father, my son also thinks Mr. Jing is a good candidate."

The emperor looked at the prince with some surprise at the same time as the prime minister.

Emperor: The prince used to be at odds with Jing Rong. After he came back, the Dark Dragon Guard told the prince that he had contacted Jing Rong many times in private.After returning from experience, I have grown a lot more than before.

It seems that this is trying to buy Jing Rong and sow discord between him and the fifth emperor.

The Fifth Prince glanced at the Prince secretly.What does this puppet know? !But an answering bug!

The emperor's eyes shifted to fall on the fifth prince. "What do you think of the fifth emperor? Is there a new candidate?"

The fifth prince went out to the center of the hall. "Reporting to my father, Jing Rong was once the number one counselor under my ministers, and my ministers highly appreciate his talent, and the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is more than enough."

People from the faction of the fifth prince seconded the proposal one after another.

For the first time, the entire court was harmonious, without any disputes!

The emperor suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at Jing Rong, feeling a little regretful and even having the illusion of miscalculation!

He originally wanted Jing Rong to be the target of public criticism, and deliberately praised him to make everyone hate him, but he did not expect that people belonging to several forces in the court would recommend him at the same time!Good means!It actually forced him, the emperor, to ride a tiger!
As a matter of course, the emperor issued an order in court to confer Jing Rong's previous position as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

After getting off the court, the fifth prince quickened his pace to catch up with Jing Rong and invited him: "Jing Rong, congratulations on your promotion again, how about it? Go to my prince's mansion to congratulate you?"

Jing Rong refused indifferently. "I'm going back to the mansion to be the first to notify my wife."

The fifth prince was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Zhuo Nan had been conferred by the queen mother as a first-rank wife, and Jing Rong was only a third-rank official before, but now he has been promoted to be a minister of the Ministry of Punishment. The official position is equal to three consecutive promotions!

I have to go home and show off to Zhuo Nan to save face.

It seems that Jing Rong doesn't like being dominated by his wife either!
The prime minister walked over from behind the two of them.

Jing Rong and the fifth prince bowed their heads and saluted at the same time: "My lord father-in-law."

The prime minister responded with dignity all over his body. "En." Looking at Jing Rong, he said, "Take Nan'er back home in the evening, and ask Madam to prepare a banquet to celebrate you." She glanced at the Fifth Prince. "The fifth prince can bring the concubine to come if he is free." Jing Rong left without waiting for her refusal.

The fifth prince looked at Jing Rong and said with a smile on his face: "Your father-in-law is congratulating you, so it seems that I don't need to do anything extra. Congratulations! See you at the prime minister's residence tonight."

Jing Rong nodded coldly and left.

The fifth prince stared at the back of Jing Rong's departure, and the shadows flashed in the bottom of his eyes.

The eunuch gathered all his money.

The fifth prince glanced at him and ordered: "Go to Yaohua Palace."

"No." The eunuch Quancai followed the fifth prince to Yaohua Palace where the fifth princess lived.

When they arrived at the gate of Yaohua Palace, Cistanche came out to greet her in person.

The fifth prince asked as he walked forward: "How did the fifth princess sleep last night? Is there anything unusual today?"

Cistanche, who had slept all morning, did not dare to hide anything, and told the truth about the fact that the fifth princess had a restless sleep last night and woke up several times in a night. "The fifth princess couldn't sleep at night, and went to the imperial study to meet the Holy Majesty in the morning, but her face was swollen after returning to the palace."

The fifth prince stopped walking when he heard the words, turned his head and stared at Cistanche with fierce eyes, and repeated word by word: "Her, face, is swollen!"

Cistanche lowered her head.

The fifth prince stared at Cistanche with a gloomy face for a while, then turned around suddenly and continued walking.No wonder the emperor easily exposed the matter of the Minister of Justice, and did not order other people to continue to investigate, maybe Huiyi went to the imperial study to beg the emperor!

After the fifth prince entered the main hall, Quan Cai and Cistanche stopped at the same time and stood guard outside the main hall without following.

As soon as the fifth prince stepped into the hall, he saw the fifth princess coming up to him. "Fifth brother."

The fifth prince saw the swollen left cheek of the fifth princess at a glance, and reached out to touch it but was afraid of her pain. "...Father beat me?"

The fifth princess hesitated for a while and finally nodded.

The fifth prince's eyes darkened slightly. "Have you pleaded for Master Tong?"

The fifth princess shook her head with a listless expression. "Father beat me because... because I asked him for a marriage decree to marry Tong Yuwen..."

Even though the fifth prince had expected it, he still felt a little unacceptable. "How could the father agree to...?" Suddenly thought of something, and his eyes widened instantly. "...You can't be...?!"

The fifth princess nodded and shed tears silently. "I told my father that I am already Tong Yuwen's man..." I threw myself into the arms of the fifth prince, crying in despair.

The fifth prince didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hug her and let her tears wet his skirt.

The fifth princess cried for a long time before stopping.

The Fifth Prince took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away her tears, and teased, "You look ugly when you cry."

The fifth princess snatched the handkerchief from the fifth prince's hand and wiped away her tears.

The fifth prince reached out and stroked her hair, wanting to mention Jing Rong's appointment as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.Seeing that she was already so sad, if he brought up the matter of Jing Rong's promotion at this time, he was afraid that she would be emotionally affected by the situation, so he simply concealed it.Standing up, he said, "Don't worry, Fifth Brother, if you're fine. It's inconvenient for Fifth Brother to stay in the palace for a long time, so as not to arouse the jealousy of Father, so I'll go back home first."

"En." The fifth princess personally sent the fifth prince to the gate of the palace, watching his back until he disappeared.

The Fifth Prince left the Yaohua Palace, and had just left the palace with the eunuch Quancai, when he happened to see Haiyue get into a carriage and leave quickly.

The eunuch Quan Cai withdrew his gaze and looked at the Fifth Prince and said: "Master, the person sitting in the carriage is a miracle doctor, and the direction of departure should be back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The fifth prince didn't respond, and watched the coachman in the mansion stop in front of him, stepping on the coachman's back to get into the carriage.

The eunuch Quan Cai also got into the carriage immediately.

Eunuch Quancai started to make tea, and said: "The empress dowager sent the genius doctor back to the prime minister's mansion just as she was a little bit weaker. The empress dowager really has a deep affection for the prime minister's wife."

The Fifth Prince cast a sidelong glance at Quan Cai and sneered in his eyes. "The queen mother is afraid that the prime minister will be unfavorable to the prime minister's wife again."

Quancai served the freshly brewed tea, and said flatteringly, "The more the empress dowager quarrels with the prime minister, the more beneficial it will be to you."

The fifth prince raised his eyebrows, took a sip from the tea cup, his eyes filled with pride.

In the carriage heading for the Prime Minister's Mansion, Haiyue was also serving tea to serve Yan Huichun.

Yan Huichun looked at Haiyue with a smile and said: "Miss Haiyue, I was born in poverty and I am not used to having servants, so you don't have to serve me in the future."

Haiyue looked at him affectionately and did not respond.

Yan Huichun picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down, raised the curtain of the car and looked out at the passing scenery.
