royal girl

Chapter 146 Attack
The old man sighed for a long time, looked at his son and said, "It's too late to do anything, and the benefits have been taken away by the Marquis of Bei'an. If I do anything else at this time, others will see that the two are confronting each other. This is not in line with the Dong family's policy." The way of doing things, let’s wait and see how it changes.”

Dong Yuncheng nodded slightly. Young people are keen and dare to break through, but they are still not as experienced as old people in defending the city, so his father made a choice. He didn't dare to do anything to retaliate against the Marquis of Bei'an, let alone Dong Huiyu, the soon-to-be-married Concubine Jing, so the Dong family's swallowing their breath at this time is the result that is most in line with everyone's imagination.

Next year's draft refers to marriage, and the remaining few princes will be crowned kings. Everyone thinks that this matter will at least be next year's thing. No one thought that the emperor would make a decree before the year.

The fifth prince, Ji Kongming, was crowned King Huai.

The sixth prince, Ji Shuchen, was crowned King Yi.

The seventh prince, Ji Jinxiang, was crowned King Jia.

With the addition of three princes, the capital became lively again for a while, at least the Dong family of several princes would go to congratulate them.The three princes are not simple. The fifth prince's biological mother, Concubine Xian, is the only concubine among the four concubines.Is the sixth prince's biological mother a noble concubine, let alone this, even though the favored concubine Xia Yingbai is not as good as in the past, she still ranks first in the harem with a high reputation and a lot of love.Standing behind the Seventh Prince was the Empress. Although the Seventh Prince was not born to the Empress, he was raised under the Queen's name with the consent of the Emperor.

From the perspective of the strengths of the seven princes, the most pitiful one is Prince Jing, Ji Qiyu, followed by Prince Chun, Ji Zimo.Fortunately, Ji Qiyu has gained a firm foothold in salt affairs in the past two years, and she has gradually established a foundation. I didn't expect that just a few days after the king's decree was issued, another shocking incident broke out a few years ago. eye matter.

The newly appointed King Jia replaced King Jing to take over the salt affairs.

As soon as this decree was announced, everyone couldn't figure out what the emperor was going to do. For a while, everyone dared not show their heads. It was rare to pour cold water on the happy event of being crowned king years ago.

Huiyu was also taken aback when she heard the news, and couldn't help but swear in her heart.Damn motherless children are easy to bully, right?The emperor dismissed Prince Jing from his post on the eve of his wedding, which meant that he was left idle, and all the hard work he had put into the salt affairs in the past two years was in vain for King Jia.

Even though Huiyu knew clearly in her heart that she and Ji Qiyu were clearly separated, this matter still made her very angry.Huiyu thought so, so one can imagine what would happen to Ji Qiyu.More than two years of hard work, how difficult it is for the salt merchants and officials, and how exhausting dealing with them, is now in vain.

It would be fine if it was to immediately supply Ji Qiyu with another errand, but the emperor's last sentence made Prince Jing concentrate on getting married, so there was nothing left to say.

"Fourth brother." The newly appointed Jiawang Ji Jinxiang carefully looked at Ji Qiyu who looked as usual, "I really don't know how this matter can happen to me, please don't make trouble with me."

Ji Qiyu looked at Ji Jinxiang's cautious look until he reached the seat opposite and said, "Sit."

Ji Jinxiang sat down anxiously, watching what Ji Qiyu wanted to say, but was stopped by Ji Qiyu waving his hand, watching him boil water and cook tea with his own hands, his gestures showed the same elegance as before, why did this whole set After cooking tea, his heart also calmed down.He took a sip of the teacup that the fourth brother handed him, and then couldn't help but said: "Fourth brother, I don't care about anything else, I'm just afraid that you will ignore me."

"Nonsense, you and I have been brothers for many years, isn't it ridiculous that such a small trick will ruin our relationship?" Ji Qiyu glanced at him, "You are also crowned king now, and you will marry a wife next year. My lord, how can you still do things the same as when you were a prince. What is yours is yours. At this time, disrespecting the emperor's will is disobedience, and you can bear the crime of disobedience?"

"But...but I don't want you to have a relationship with me and misunderstand me."

"No, I don't know what kind of temperament you are?" Ji Qiyu glanced at this younger brother, her tone became softer, and she comforted: "You just take it over boldly, what should you do, you take over this mess It is more reassuring than others to take it. If you don’t know anything about salt affairs, just ask me, if I can help, I will help.”

"Fourth brother..." Ji Jinxiang didn't expect that fourth brother would trust him so much at this time, and his eyes turned red, "Thank you, fourth brother, I didn't sleep all night after I received the order yesterday, lying on the bed with pancakes Same thing, I'm afraid that my fourth brother will have a rift with me because of this matter. As long as fourth brother says a word, this job can be resigned."

"It is possible to resign, but have you ever thought about the feelings of the empress? Once you do this, you will be an unsupportable mud in front of the emperor in this life. I took advantage of other people's wishes and broke my heart." Ji Qiyu poured another cup of tea for Ji Jinxiang, put down the azure-colored Ru kiln teapot and said, "I have put so much effort into salt affairs, if it falls into the hands of others, I'm afraid I really can't eat or sleep, but now that I'm in your hands, I'm really relieved. Since last year, I've known that I won't be able to stay in the salt business for long. It's as I expected, so why do I get so angry? , you just need to rest assured."

The more Ji Qiyu said this, the more uneasy Ji Jinxiang became, and he said in a jerk, "I don't know why Father did this, why leave it to me."

"The stones of other mountains can attack jade. Using you to hit me is a good move." Ji Qiyu smiled lightly, the unmatched warmth of winter rippling in the corners of her brows and eyes, and stared at Ji Jinxiang intently, saying every word. Said: "If you feel that you can't live with me, then take care of this mess. I have a few capable ministers who can lend you, and send them back to me when all the people on your side are up to speed." .”

"Thank you fourth brother, I knew that fourth brother treated me the best."

"No matter how old you are, you still look like a child. If the sky falls, you will be supported by your fourth brother. Next year when your fourth brother gets married, you still have to come and help me. You can't escape this matter."

"A word from the fourth brother, Mountain of Swords and Sea of ​​Fire."

"Come on, it's such a small thing that you're scared to cry. It's promising."

Ji Jinxiang smiled sweatily, "I'm most afraid that my fourth brother will hate me because of it. As long as my fourth brother treats me as before, I'm not afraid of others."

Ji Qiyu smiled, "You have grown up too, and you should learn to experience some things. Can you understand what happened this time?"

"I've been thinking about it all night, and I always feel that this matter is too strange. I heard that Concubine Liang had a close relationship with Xia Zhaoyi before, and there is a faint shadow of the Shunyi House behind this incident. It seems that I was raised as the queen. The queen mother and the one in front, plus the fourth brother and I have a good relationship, they can't sit still."

"Yes, you can think of it. Could it be that your fourth brother can't think of it? You can't sleep all night, and your fourth brother is like this in your heart?"

"Hehe, it's all my brother's fault. My brother used tea instead of wine to apologize to fourth brother."

Ji Qiyu picked up the teacup and touched Ji Jinxiang, took a sip and said, "You are young, you have nothing to do, the water in the salt business is deep. And there are people from the second brother in there, I can't watch for you all the time Come on, if you don’t have a long snack, don’t cry to me when you are tricked later.” Having said this, he sneered, “Show your skills, if someone bites you, you have to know that you can do it.” The hard stuff with teeth has bones."

"Fourth brother, don't worry, brother, I won't embarrass the four."

"You and I are brothers, and I will teach you what I can teach you. For the rest, you have to learn more, watch more, listen more, think more, remember, talk less and do more."

"Yes, brother, remember."

The two brothers started talking, and Ji Jinxiang returned to that smiling look, relying on Ji Qiyu's refusal to leave, he insisted on staying in Prince Jing's Mansion for one night, and only went out from Prince Jing's Mansion the next morning.

After hearing this, the empress put down the scriptures in her hand, twirled the Buddhist beads and said slowly: "Brothers are united, and gold can be broken. The fourth child... as before, did not disappoint me."

Nanny Chu knelt on the footrest and tapped the queen's leg, and said in a low voice, "Even for the sake of your mother, His Highness Prince Jing will definitely not embarrass His Highness King Jia."

"Yeah, the fourth child is a nostalgic one. If others treat him kindly, he can pay back three points. But he is also a grudger. Hehe, let's wait and see."

"His Royal Highness King Jing endured so much hardship when he was young, so he should have been harsh. Thanks to being a concubine, she took care of her all the time, otherwise there would be no King Jing today."

"Even if I can survive without my fourth child, he has that ability. I just tried my best, but I couldn't help him much." The queen smiled mockingly, and the faint sunlight penetrated some The light from the carved prism window of the year fell on her face, and the passage of time left some traces on her face, which became more and more obvious by the sunlight.His eyes looked at the sky outside through the window lattice, so ethereal and dazed, but the words he said were filled with a touch of indifference, "He is a smart boy, he only needs someone to stretch out his hand, and he will know what to do next." best."

Nanny Chu didn't quite understand the deep meaning of these words, but she could tell that the empress still admired His Royal Highness Prince Jing. After thinking about it, she didn't dare to say anything more. Again.

Huiyu always wanted to meet Ji Qiyu before the New Year's Eve, but both he and she had too much to do, so they couldn't get together one day, and they couldn't see each other until the New Year's Eve one side.Huiyu felt a little regretful in his heart, but it was not that strong. Thinking that he had survived such a difficult time in the palace, this incident should not break him down.

Entering the palace to celebrate the New Year is another torture, this time the eldest lady brought not only Huiyu but also Yan Yibai.This was Yan Yibai's first time entering the palace, no matter how much he pretended to be calm, his face was still a little pale, and he was worried.Huiyu and Yan Yibai were sitting in a carriage, the lady herself had a carriage, and the three of them in one carriage plus the maid who was serving them were too much to handle, so they divided them into two carriages.

"Sister-in-law don't have to worry, you can just follow your auntie and nothing will happen." Having said that, he smiled and said, "Besides, the empress is kind and kind, so sister-in-law doesn't have to worry. In fact, there are many people in front of the empress. There was no chance to speak."

Knowing that Huiyu was kind enough to mention something, Yan Yibai breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Second Sister, I'm inevitably a little nervous, and I'll make you laugh at that time."

"What's the matter? I was also very nervous when I entered the palace for the first time. At that time, I had nothing to do with my aunt." Huiyu said with a sweet smile, "Sister-in-law is the Duke of Dingguo. The eldest daughter-in-law of the mansion, don't worry too much about being embarrassing, she has her own eldest aunt."

Yan Yibai quickly said yes, but he didn't think so in his heart.Her mother-in-law always thought that she was not pleasing to the eye, and if someone really embarrassed her, she was actually not sure what to do at that time.Although Huiyu kindly reminded her that she should be fine, but accidents are called accidents because no one can predict them in advance, right?
Seeing that Yan Yibai still couldn't relax much, Huiyu didn't force him to persuade him that some things he hadn't personally experienced, and that kind of anxiety cannot be completely eliminated. This is human nature, and there is nothing strange about it.

When it was time to get off the car, Huiyu was a little uneasy, so she said to Yan Yibai in a low voice, "If there is really something, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm still there."

Yan Yibai was slightly taken aback, and then forced out a smile, "I feel more at ease when I have a second sister."

Huiyu smiled lightly, and signaled Yan Yibai to follow the eldest lady's footsteps, and the three of them walked towards the inner palace under the guidance of the palace servants.

Huiyu's guess was right. Sure enough, someone was looking for faults, but the faults did not fall on Yan Yibai, but on herself.Who is finding fault?In fact, everyone is acquaintances. It is Qin Roujia and Chu Jing. Fortunately, Qin Roujia is not in the early stage, but Chu Jing does not know if she has taken the wrong medicine. The thing that was seized blamed Huiyu for the bad luck, his words were extremely arrogant, and his attitude was very bad.

As the daughter of a scholar, Yan Yibai was dumbfounded for the first time seeing a lady who spoke so harshly.

Huiyu had a cold face, her eyes were dark and not at all soft, and she said, "It seems that the young lady of the Xinguo Mansion has a problem with her brain. She is not at home to take good care of her during the Chinese New Year. Why did she come out to bite people randomly? Fortunately, everyone I'm familiar with you and I won't really blame you, it's just that there are many nobles in this palace, so the young lady should be cautious in her words and deeds, so as not to bring trouble on herself and embarrass the family."

Hui Yu specifically mentioned the word "shame", and Chu Jing's face was pulled down, gloomy like a gust of wind and rain.

"Dong Huiyu, what kind of thing are you..."

"It turns out that the young lady is a thing. No wonder you have a bad brain. You said you were sick and it's not your fault, but it's your fault when you come out to scare people. Poor guy, I heard that I hurt my brain during the draft. I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true." Hui Yu still remembered that Chu Jing's crush, Ji Qi Yu, wanted to seduce him, and since she took the initiative to seek trouble, Hui Yu would not be polite.

This year's marriages are so crowded that the four major families who entered the palace to celebrate the New Year all have young wives. The people from the Xinguo Palace and the Lingguo Palace are old acquaintances, one is Chu Jing and the other is Qin Roujia. Not surprisingly.On the contrary, the young lady An from Zhaoguo's mansion looks pretty good, she doesn't say a word, doesn't get together with right and wrong, and she is also very handsome, I heard that her father is Anxue, the governor of Sichuan. Lin has a good family background.

Chu Jing and Hui Yu didn't get along very well when they were in the boudoir, so they had a dispute. Even Qin Roujia didn't stand by Chu Jing's side without saying a word. Now she glanced at Chu Jing with some hesitation. He looked at Huiyu again, but chose to remain silent.The Marquis of Bei'an is in the limelight, and he is still in the capital. At this time, it is obvious that he has trouble with Dong Huiyu. Isn't Ding Guogong a living example.Don't talk about Ding Guogong, Xia Mingzhe, who had trouble with the second wife of the Dong family before, has not been successful in his official career and family disharmony after two or three years. In just a few years, Xia Mingzhe seems to have aged several years.Although on the surface Bei'anhou didn't do anything at all, but in private, you can check it out. If you say Bei'anhou didn't do anything, you wouldn't believe it even if you beat someone to death.

There is such a talented military general who loves to hold grudges, is valued by the emperor, and is very talented. If you encounter such an enemy, you will be unlucky.Unless one day he falls, before he falls, you must be the one who falls first.

Qin Roujia remained silent, and Chu Jing could only fight alone.Fortunately, this place was a temporary stop for young people like them, so it didn't attract more attention.Even so, Chu Jing felt ashamed and ashamed, and wished she could tear Huiyu's face off and step on the ground.

"Dong Huiyu, don't be arrogant."

"What a joke, there are so many eyes watching here, I don't know which one is the first to make trouble." Huiyu has never been soft-tempered. If you don't come to look for me, everyone will be fine. If you come to make trouble, hum, aunt Eighteen kinds of martial arts smash you to death. "But it's still talking to an abnormal person. No wonder you can't understand normal words."

Chu Jing was so angry that she slapped her with a slap.

Huiyu took a step back, stretched out her hand to pinch her wrist, squeezed it hard, and saw Chu Jing's face turn pale, she stepped forward slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Chu Jing, don't think that others don't know about your Be careful, isn't it because you feel uncomfortable because I'm going to marry Prince Jing? Hehe, it's a pity that you don't have a chance in this life. Hey, it's no wonder that Prince Jing is so beautiful. However, for you, a woman with a bad reputation in private meetings, do you think he will look at you? Stop dreaming! You said what would she do if I told Mrs. Xin Guo about your thoughts? No mother-in-law would be willing to look at herself with green hair, right?"

"You are shameless!"

"Shut up, don't annoy me, or I'll really make you look good. In recent years, my sister's temper has been restrained. You really think I'm afraid of you. Don't be shameless. If you really don't want it I don’t mind, I don’t mind stepping on the ground for you. I, Dong Huiyu, have been known as domineering and domineering in the capital for a few days, so there’s nothing to be afraid of, but what about you?” Huiyu threw Chu Jing’s wrist away after speaking. , Wei Wei was afraid of clapping his hands, with a smile on his lips, he turned and left.

Some people just allow themselves to be scumbags, but they can't see that others are better than her. When they meet such a person, they have to grab her dead spot and teach her a lesson.

What Hui Yu said to Chu Jing was difficult for others to hear, but Yan Yibai followed closely because he was worried that Hui Yu would suffer.The look on his face turned pale in an instant. It turned out that the previous rumors were true. The second daughter of the Dong family really had a bad temper. Just listening to those words just now, Yan Yibai felt that he didn't seem to know the people in front of him very well. This is the second younger sister.

Because there are a lot of people this year, especially the young wives of the four great families have also been announced to show face.The main hall of the Empress's Fengqi Palace couldn't hold so many people at once, so this time even the little ones like Huiyu were arranged to wait in the side hall.This time Chu Jing gave Huiyu a hard look, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous.

There were not only people like Huiyu in this side hall, but also several prince's side concubines came in after a while, everyone huddled together, and some acquaintances started talking together.Dong Wan immediately saw Hui Yu and Yan Yibai, and walked over quickly with a pink and tender baby in her hand.

"Big sister." Hui Yu smiled and stood up to say hello, and without waiting for Dong Wan's reply, she bent down and hugged Jia Geer, teasing him, and the baby's chuckle was heard in an instant.

"Don't make trouble, put him down quickly. How can you be presumptuous in the empress's side hall at this time? Dong Wan hurriedly took her son over, and pointed at Huiyu's forehead, "How old is he? No, you will feel better in the future. "

"I'm not afraid, there's a big sister." Hui Yu made a face at Brother Jia, which made him laugh again, and Dong Wan was so annoyed by Hui Yu that she almost couldn't help rolling her eyes.He simply ignored her, turned his head and greeted Yan Yibai with a smile, "Sister-in-law, it's been fine recently. I've been thinking about going back to see you, but there are too many things to do in the New Year's Eve, so I can't make it."

"Eldest sister, don't say that. You still have to take care of the children and take care of things around you. I know you are very busy. As long as my sister and Brother Jia are doing well, we have nothing to worry about." Yan Yi laughed whitely. He said affectionately while pulling La Jia Ge'er's hand.

Perhaps it was because Huiyu's voice was a bit loud when teasing Brother Jia, and Nanny Chu, who was beside the empress, came over with a smile, and asked Dong Wan to take the child over by name, and called Dong Huiyu and Yan Yibai by the way.

When the three of them arrived at the main hall, they first saluted and greeted each other, and then stood up amidst the palace servants singing promises.

"I heard the child's laughter here in this palace. It must be Huiyu's girl who made trouble?" The empress stared at Huiyu affectionately and said with a smile.And waved to Brother Jia, Dong Wan had no choice but to hug the child, stepped forward to salute, and said: "This child is really unruly, please forgive me, empress."

"What does such a young child know, what can he do to redeem himself?" The queen looked at Dong Wan kindly, then looked at Jia Geer and said with a smile: "This child has a broad forehead, and he must be wise in the future. He loves to laugh and play. If you think about it, you must be extroverted and open-minded, so you really are a good boy. You are a meritorious person, and it is your duty to work hard for King Ning and raise the child well."

"Yes, I would like to obey my mother's admonition." Dong Wan said hurriedly, but she felt a little uneasy, what is the empress empress going to do, why did she set herself up as a target, this matter is not very good.

Dong Wan was thinking in her heart, feeling slightly uneasy, when she heard someone beside her say, "The empress is generous, everyone is good. It is the child's blessing to be able to enter the eyes of the empress."

The eldest lady stepped forward to rescue Dong Wan at the right time, pointing at Xia Zhaoyi who was sitting beside her, hehe, forget it.

"Prince Jing's errand was given to King Jia, and I don't know that King Jia is still used to what he does now. I don't know if it's because of the bad luck that Prince Jing has brought, or what brought it. Also poor."

As soon as Xia Zhaoyi's words came out, the hall was silent. No one thought that Xia Zhaoyi would actually attack Dong Huiyu at this time.No one can hear the meaning inside and outside the words, and the needle can be heard for a while.

Huiyu thought that since Xia Zhaoyi didn't name anyone, she wouldn't stand up on her own, as long as there was any conflict in her words, Xia Zhaoyi might have an attack immediately, then she couldn't bear it and walked around.

"Prince Jing's errands were unloaded by the emperor himself, and he also said that he wanted Prince Jing to prepare for the marriage. Xia Zhaoyi said that because he had a problem with the emperor's decision?" The queen looked at Xia Zhaoyi with a gentle smile, and said what she said But it was enough to make Xia Zhaoyi's expression change drastically.

It is a serious crime to slander the king!
