atypical prostitute

Chapter 116 With a daughter like this, what more can a father ask for?

On the night of the third day of July, the dew is like a pearl and the moon is like a bow. The Zhuhua banquet is full of laughter and laughter all night long. Lingyun Pavilion, which is only half a mile away from Lingbo Pavilion, is also lit up all night.

In the south, it rained continuously for days, and the monarch could not sleep at night.

……

……

After sending Fu Lici away, Ye Wurong took a group of female officials, left Hanyu Xiaoyuan, and headed towards Lingyun Pavilion.

Pushing open the door, there was a strong fragrance coming, all the women in the eunuch's palace looked solemn and held their breath, Ye Wurong walked around the screen carefully, and saw Xiao Zhiqian who was lying on the couch and dozing.

On the ground, there are scattered memorials all over the place.

She approached on tiptoe, picked up a few at random, and smiled wryly.

The war against the Turks has achieved unprecedented victories, but the military glory is based on the huge consumption of manpower and material resources.Now the national treasury is empty, the people are complaining, and the Jiangnan side is colluding. Money and food have been pushed back many times.

These people are nothing more than bullying the new king who suddenly came to power, the political situation is unstable, and there are frontier wars, and they have no time to take care of them for a while, and they are getting more and more arrogant!

But investigating them is easier said than done. The accounts of each department and department are clear, and there is no nitpicking at all.Even if a sage intends to clean up the south of the Yangtze River, he must be famous and have enough replacement officials.

The so-called family is not easy, that's it.

Ye Wurong looked sadly at her husband, who was getting more and more smoldering between his brows. She understood his difficulty, and also knew that as a king, there would inevitably be many difficulties, but if this continues, one day he will become a complete stranger.

Although once vowed to each other, but power is involved, how much affection is there?

Therefore, we must obtain the fourth wife of the Fu family. This woman who has involved too many powerful groups behind her is indispensable to my brother, to the Ye family, and to myself who cannot give birth to a prince!
While he was thinking, there was a gentle yet strong voice above his head, "Is Wurong worrying about state affairs again?"

Ye Wurong turned his face, met Xiao Zhiqian's handsome face, and said with a smile: "I am a hot-tempered person, and I am good at fighting. These political affairs are so intricate that it gives me a headache."

Xiao Zhiqian said softly: "You have no tolerance, you are underestimating yourself again."

While speaking, he sat up under the service of the eunuch, glanced at the brocade box carried by the female officer behind Ye Wurong, and said, "This is—"

"Empress Zhen's wishful hairpin."

Ye Wurong turned sideways and opened the brocade box.

Xiao Zhiqian glanced at the contents of the box, heaved a long breath, and said, "It's finally taken back."

Then he frowned again, and said, "Wurong, what does Fu Lici want? Give Ye Chuan a marriage, or protect the Fu family?"

Ye Wurong said slowly: "She just wants to reverse the case for Shen Qingyi."

"Shen Qingyi? Overturn the case?"

For a moment Xiao Zhiqian was a little confused, he rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Why would she want this?"

Ye Wurong said softly: "I also asked the same question. She said that regardless of the facts, Shen Liji was the one who raised her and treated her kindly. Besides, the Shen family is innocent, why can't the case be overturned?"

"But the remnants of the rebellious king have already been eradicated. She... brings up this matter again at this time, what exactly does she want!"

Jun's face was gloomy again.

Ye Wurong suddenly realized that he had thought of something bad, and said helplessly: "Si Niangzi thinks that although His Majesty has punished the chief culprit, it is not enough to vent his hatred. Those officials who sit on the sidelines and add insult to injury should also be punished together."

Speaking of this, she picked up Jiangnan's memorial again, and said calmly: "Jiangnan's officialdom has been up and down over the years, and it seems to be an independent small dynasty. Why don't your majesty use the opportunity of restarting the Tsingyi case to turn it upside down? As far as I know, The officials involved in the Tsing Yi case are now mostly key figures in various ministries and divisions in the south of the Yangtze River. If they can be punished for their crime of dereliction of duty, Jiangnan can be brought back into the bag. In the spring famine next year, there will be no need to see piles of crying poor memorials .”

Draw a line on the geographical map of Jiangshan: "Flood control every year, floods every year, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households should have cleaned up long ago."

"Wu Rong is really my virtuous wife."

Xiao Zhiqian smiled knowingly, picked up the Ruyi hairpin, and played with it.

"It's just that I don't understand one thing. There are so many rich and noble girls in the capital, why do you only look at the fourth lady? In terms of family status, she is far inferior to Kang Hui, and her temperament and appearance are not unparalleled in the world. Could it be because of Ah Brother likes it, so you have to find a way to make it happen?"

Ye Wurong knew that he was being paranoid again, but she did have the intention to reveal the joint with him.

Then he replied respectfully: "My brother's liking is certainly the most important thing, but purely in terms of personal qualifications, Fourth Lady is also the most suitable for the Ye family. She is indeed not as good as Kang Hui in terms of status and family background. But your majesty, you really have the heart to let Ah Brother married that wicked girl? Not to mention that she is domineering and jealous, and the whole family will definitely be in trouble. Just because of the daughter of King Liang, I... can't rest assured."

Hearing the worry in her voice, Xiao Zhiqian comforted him softly: "King Liang is a man with a very deep city, and I promised to marry Kang Hui, because I don't want to have an affair with him too soon."

"But Hachiro shouldn't use Brother as a asking stone."

Ye Wurong reasoned and argued: "Balang doesn't like Si Niangzi because she is the daughter of the Niang Wang. Although she doesn't know her own background at the moment, after all, the paper can't cover fire, and the matter will be revealed to the world sooner or later. By then... But—Your Majesty, don’t forget that no matter how assertive she is, she’s just a woman, and she’s only seeking the interests of her husband’s family and her mother’s family through all her efforts, and it’s not a problem. On the contrary, it’s King Liang, who has an unfathomable mind. If it wasn't for him not having a son-in-law, I'm afraid..."

Having said that, Ye Wurong was silent.

Xiao Zhiqian sighed, and said: "I understand the meaning of being ruthless. Compared with the king of Liang, the fourth lady is indeed insignificant. But as long as I think of the time when I proposed marriage to Fu Zhu, but was rejected by the farmer, I... can't breathe !"

"The one who refused to marry back then was Fu Zhu, but now the one who wants to marry is Fourth Lady, why should Hachiro be bothered?"

Ye Wurong said without hesitation, "Si Niangzi knows that His Majesty hopes that she can use the Ruyi hairpin in exchange for a marriage with Ye Chuan, but she insists on using this hairpin in exchange for the restart of the Tsing Yi case. Is this benevolence and filial piety, His Majesty really turned a blind eye?"

Xiao Zhiqian was silent.

Power is the most deceptive. In order to gain the power to rule the world, one's own flesh and blood may become enemies in an instant, not to mention that Fu Lici is the flesh and blood of King Changsha!Right now she doesn't know her background, and she is respectful and humble to everyone in the capital, but it is hard to guarantee that she will not become an enemy one day.

Ruyi's hairpin stays in her hand, it is always a factor of instability.

That's why he deliberately messed up the mandarin ducks at the reception banquet, trying to force Fu Lici to hand over the Ruyi hairpin.

However, she didn't.

Ever since Fu Lici made it clear that day that he would not exchange the Ruyi hairpin for the marriage he bestowed on Ye Chuan, Xiao Zhiqian became jealous of this woman.

What exactly does she want to do with the Ruyi Hairpin!
Is it...

He also used to be open-minded and just wanted to be a noble prince.But fate pushed him to the position of the monarch. He could only work hard and take care of everything. The more he came into contact with, the more suspicious he became.

Restarting the Tsing Yi case is difficult, but in the end it is not as difficult as being such a big family.

He was even a little proud that Hairpin was able to return at the cost of restarting the Tsing Yi case.But besides being relieved, she couldn't help but worry: Fu Lici's heart is too big, she doesn't look like a little woman in the backyard.

Of course, he didn't want Ye Wurong to know these worries.

He calmly twisted the hairpin, sighed half sincerely and half falsely: "There is a daughter like this, and the father can ask for it. It's just that she used the hairpin to ask for the reopening of the Tsing Yi case. On the brother's side——"

Ye Wurong glanced at him, and said: "Your Majesty has made things difficult for you just to force out Ruyi's hairpin? Now that she has returned the hairpin as you wish, why do you still insist on not fulfilling Si Niangzi and Brother? Are you really going to make trouble? The city will be full of wind and rain, can't everyone get off the stage?"

Xiao Zhiqian's face darkened.

Ye Wurong pretended not to notice it, and said sternly: "Brother and I, the loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth. Although the fourth lady is the flesh and blood of the King of Changsha, she is a girl, and there is no powerful person behind her." Even if she knows about her power, she will not pose a threat to His Majesty's regime. Why don't you hand her over to the Ye family, since then, Your Majesty will have one less worry, and the Ye family will have an extra smart daughter-in-law?"

"This……"

Xiao Zhiqian pondered for a long time, and said: "There is some truth in saying nothing. After all, she is a woman, so she can't make any waves."

Ye Wurong heard the looseness, and hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue: "My younger brother killed the enemy on the battlefield and made a small contribution, so he should be enshrined as a marquis of ten thousand households. However, those who are obsessed with the past, can't see my younger brother's success in youth, and even borrowed the rules of the ancestors to threaten His Majesty! Wurong remembers that His Majesty read about Emperor Xuan's years in the past, and saw that Lord Ye Jun had made great achievements but could not be granted the title of Marquis. He was so angry that he threw away the books. He thought that His Majesty was angry at Emperor Xuan's retreat, and he would definitely stand up against his younger brother's award. Everyone's opinion, who knows... His Majesty is determined to imitate Emperor Xuan, even this small request is not fulfilled..."

As we spoke, tears also fell.

Xiao Zhiqian knew that Ye Wurong's character was strong, and he was really sad to the extreme, so he wept and sighed, and he hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be sad about Wurong, brother, I have long intended to make things happen, but there are too many involved in it. , It is not achieved overnight. For example, on King Liang's side, if he insists on not retreating, I can't force others to do what they want."

"But--"

"No tolerance, let me think about it."

Xiao Zhiqian was perfunctory, Ye Wurong stood up, straightened his clothes, walked in front of him, knelt down on one knee, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the vows you made? Xiao and Ye shared the world. Why did brother just want to marry you?" A person you like, but—can't get it?"

"This--"

Xiao Zhiqian was speechless.

Ye Wurong continued: "I know Your Majesty has His Majesty's considerations, but A-gan is a rare talent and a loyal personality. If your Majesty agrees with him in the matter of marriage, he will definitely work harder in the future. Dedicated to the country. Besides, the King of Yan and his wife have always liked the Fourth Lady, if the Fourth Lady marries a younger brother, even if the King of Liang has the heart of disobedience, he has to take care of the King of Yan."

A few words, well-organized, penetrating into the inside.

"This……"

Xiao Zhiqian fell into deep thought again.

He insisted not to fulfill Fu Lici and Ye Chuan because of many considerations.

Leaving aside King Liang's threat, Fu Lici himself made him feel uneasy.Behind her, too many interest groups were involved.

According to his past habits, such a dangerous person should have been dealt with long ago.However, the eldest princess protects the calf with deep love, Jun Fengxi is yin and yang, and the remnants of Xiliang are inextricably linked with her, so he has nowhere to start!
When Fu Lici planned to get Fu Yujing into Prince Liang's mansion, his face was calm, but his heart was turbulent.

How could such a character as King Liang decide to marry a concubine daughter as a continuation just because of two encounters, I'm afraid that behind it——

Could it be possible for them to combine?

Fortunately, within a few days, news came that Fu Yujing had completely turned against the Fu family within a few days after entering the Prince Liang's mansion.As for the big speeches at the welcome banquet, Xiao Zhiqian felt much more relieved, apart from being contemptuous.

It seems that it is impossible to form an alliance between Liang Wang and Fu Lici.

That being the case, why not encourage them to fight each other and reap the benefits?

Therefore, during several summons, Xiao Zhiqian deliberately showed that he wanted to be fulfilled and he was concerned about King Liang, in order to drive a wedge between each other and find out the cards of Fu Lici and King Liang.

So far, Fu Lici's performance has been excellent, especially the resumption of the Tsing Yi case with Ruyi hairpin, which made Xiao Zhiqian even a little admired, but unfortunately the matter has come to this point, and he can only resign himself to fate.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhiqian sighed again, and said: "No tolerance, the matter of letting King Liang let go needs to be discussed in the long run."
