royal girl

Chapter 395 Sending it in to relieve the princess' boredom 1
The four great aristocratic families in Kyoto have always been headed by Duke Dingguo.However, with the rotation of the annual rings, this pattern is not static.Dingguo's mansion has not had a daughter for several generations, and there is no family in the palace, so it is inevitable that the momentum will be inferior.Their Zhaoguo government had never liked to send their daughters to the palace to play games, and they were reluctant to do so.Except for a concubine De and King Ning, the generation of Duke Xin Guo's mansion has been prosperous for decades, and Duke Ling's mansion is the younger sister of Duke Xin Guo, so they naturally go together all the way.

I never thought that in the next generation, Dingguo's mansion, which had not had a daughter for several generations, had three daughters in a row. The daughters of the big house and concubine all married into the university scholar's mansion, and even married a second son.Even the girl from the Xue family that the old lady took in married into a noble place in the Imperial Academy. Although she was poor, she had a good future.Dingguogong has been scheming all his life, and he has never missed it so far. Although King Ning and King Jing are divided in the current court, no matter which side wins, there will be no bad ending for Dingguogong's mansion where there are daughters married. At most, the faction that doesn't support it will assign him a idle job, at least his life will be safe.When the daughter's child grows up, it will be another ten years in Hexi.

Prince Jing, who was the least promising at the beginning, has become the most popular among the princes. Who would have thought that the little girl who was known as a savage in Kyoto would be blessed today?

Looking at the letter and the wording, Duke Zhao thought that there were rumors outside that Prince Jing was only obsessed with Princess Jing's appearance and family background, but after reading this letter, he knew that those rumors outside were all special. Everything is fake!

After handing the letter to his two sons, Duke Zhao stood up and walked around the room slowly with his hands behind his back, but his mind was like a galloping horse.

It is rare to see Dad like this. The two brothers looked at each other, took the letter and read it carefully.In the first line of the entry, it is written: My niece respects my uncle, Mr. Li'an.

After reading this line for the first time, the two were terrified and couldn't help but glance at each other. Princess Jing could guess that this letter would fall into their father's hands first.

Qin Ding blurted out: "It's really incredible, I can guess this, obviously the letter is for you, but the first sentence of the letter is to say hello to my father. Brother, you said that the princess really guessed that you would send Is this letter for my father, or did I dig a hole for you?"

"Keep watching." Qin Yang couldn't guess right now, and only after reading can he know the truth.

At the beginning, it briefly describes the friendship between the two families, and mentions the happy time when they played in Zhaoguo Gongfu when they were young. The corners of her lips curled up involuntarily.Qin Ding pointed to a sentence in the letter, and smiled at Qin Yang: "Brother, she still has grudges against you. You pulled her braids when you were young."

Qin Yang's face was tense, and he said: "I was naughty when I was young, who has never done such a thing. When you were young, you never pulled her braids, but you did pull other people's hair, each other."

"That's different. Girls from other people's families are not like her. Now that they are adults, they write a special letter to talk about this passage." Qin Ding smiled with his eyes narrowed, he was a little narrow-minded.

The two exchanged a few words casually, and then looked down, only to see that there was a change in the niece's life, and there was a little uneasiness in the family. I think my uncle had already heard about it.Ever since the prince went out of Beijing to escort the youngest son to study, there was no one at home to guard him, so this matter happened, he was really worried, anxious, and irritable.Fortunately, the emperor in the palace is sympathetic, the empress mother is kind, and all scandals in the family are dealt with by the palace.Wen's and Wu's natal family came to see her, but the niece was unwell and did not see each other. In the next few days, they heard that Mrs. Wen was very sociable and had contacts with many prefectures in Kyoto.Thinking about how my family was poisoned, I can't help but feel panic again...

The image of the weeping and disturbed woman in the deep boudoir is vivid on the page, making people feel pity. At this time, Qin Ding couldn't help but say, "Why is this courage getting worse and worse? She wasn't like this before. Most likely It was the concubine given by the palace who acted recklessly, thinking that she had something to rely on, so she acted recklessly."

"Not necessarily, you forgot about Princess Chun's dystocia back then?" Princess Chun's dystocia, Dong Huiyu made a big fuss in Prince Chun's mansion, even though such things were suppressed, outsiders didn't know about it, but it seemed that they would always hear something about it for a long time.Not to mention that the four major families are inherently intertwined, and many news channels are duplicated. If you are interested, you can naturally find out.What's more, the Duke's wife has suffered a great loss, and she dare not speak out outside, and it is inevitable that she will show some words at home.

Qin Ding: ...

Forgot this stubble!
"There is no one to rely on at home. I have been thinking about it for several days, and my uncle and cousin have the impudence to ask for help. Employing people is not like using officials. They have no responsibility to do things, and the root cause is difficult to investigate. Who will stand up and help my niece?"

This sentence is even more sad, Qin Ding pushed Qin Yang, "Although I know that she may be acting pitiful, but reading it is really sad."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." After reading the letter, Qin Yang handed it to Qin Ding, bowed his head and began to think carefully.

Qin Ding held the letter, but he didn't refuse, he just said: "You are mostly in charge of the affairs outside the house, even if I want to employ someone, I have to ask you, it's much cheaper for me to find the court. Otherwise, why would I write to you but not to me?" These words were said casually, but Qin Ding was enlightened as soon as he said them, and his feelings for Princess Jing are clear even for their brothers who is in charge of what is going on. Yes, my heartache is really in vain.

At this time, Duke Zhao had calmed down and sat back down again. Seeing that his two sons wanted to take the exam, he asked, "What do you think about this?"

Qin Ding has a free and unrestrained temperament, and Qin Yang is calm, so he heard Qin Ding say first: "My son guesses that there is no one around Princess Jing to use, and Duke Ding and Marquis of Bei'an just entered the palace to file an imperial petition. It's not easy to get attention when you move. The staff of the palace are all foreigners, and it's not easy for the princess to meet them, and the rest of the in-laws are not strong enough, but our family has always been low-key and unobtrusive, but she thinks about it."

"Boss, what do you think?"

"What the second brother said is also what the son thinks, but there is still something that the son doesn't understand. If we accept this matter, will we stand in front of others in the future? After all, once the Wen family's affairs are revealed, under the attention of everyone, Then you can’t hide invisibly.” This is contrary to the Qin family’s usual style of doing things, and Qin Yang is also used to secretly controlling, so he doesn’t like to be surrounded by people.

"Before this, you never thought, how could the princess know about the affairs of the Wen family and let us control them?" Zhao Guogong looked at them and asked.

Qin Ding frowned, and Qin Yang was also slightly puzzled. This incident was indeed a little surprising.It was indeed a coincidence that he noticed the Wen family in the first place, and soon after Prince Jing's residence spread the news that the princess was murdered by a concubine, and before they could discuss an appropriate strategy, the letter from the princess had already arrived.What's more, such a matter can only be reported when the prince is around. They didn't expect to have direct contact with the princess from the beginning.As a big family that is used to keeping a low profile, it is never a serious matter for Madam to socialize with them.

As a result, they were indeed surprised by the current situation.

"The personnel arrangement and the division of rights in our own mansion, people outside don't know the details, and my son's guess of the princess is just an estimate, and I can't be sure. But even so, it is enough to make people startled." Qin Yangyan broke into a laugh, Then he said: "Human cloud beauties are so brainless, it seems like a joke today."

Qin Ding looked at Qin Yang strangely, it was rare to hear him speak so bluntly, and said: "Don't you think that maybe someone else thought of mentioning it in front of the princess?"

"This letter is a secret matter, how can it be easily announced."

Duke Zhao smiled and nodded, "No matter what, since the letter has been delivered to the mansion, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and we can only obey orders."

"Then it really must be the eldest brother who came forward." Qin Ding looked at Qin Yang with a smile, "What do you think of this matter?"

Qin Yang didn't look at Qin Ding's optimistic face, and said to his father: "Even if our Zhaoguo government has reached an agreement with Prince Jing, we have always acted in secret. And the princess has never said anything about it. Any doubts, I am afraid that they know the inside story. Now that we are suddenly floating on the water, my son thinks there may be other reasons for this."

Qin Ding heard the words and gradually put away the laughter on his face, and after hearing the words and thinking carefully, he said: "This is what the palace wants..."

I didn't say the words behind, but the father and son looked at each other, and they all understood it.

My heart was shocked.

Qin Yang said: "There must be a reason for everything to go off track. Now we are floating on the water, which is very different from our usual style of acting. There are no more than two reasons. The first prince is not in Beijing, and the princess is not available. Our family is loyal to Prince Jing is a trustworthy person; secondly, in this eventful autumn, if the concubine orders the Duke Zhao's government to attack forcefully, it means that the palace is about to change. I don't know about my son's speculation, right?"

Qin Ding interjected, "But the lord is not in the capital. I don't know if the wangfei did this on her own thought or the lord's instruction before leaving?" It can't be done, if it was ordered by the prince before he left, how could the prince know that such a thing would happen to the princess, most likely the prince didn't know about it.

This sentence really asks the important point.

Duke Zhao looked at his two sons, "That's a good question, then think about it and guess what's going on here?"

"My son thinks that the prince didn't know about this matter. First of all, when the prince left the capital, he definitely didn't expect the princess to be murdered by the concubine Ji in the mansion, so he didn't expect what happened next. Secondly, if you can predict this, The prince will not leave Beijing." Qin Yang said slowly, men can actually understand men better, people like the prince don't bother to perfunctory women, he is really good to the princess, and he doesn't care. It's not for anyone to see.A man like him doesn't bother to use his kindness to a woman to seek any benefit.He himself has the ability to make others willing to serve him.
