royal girl

Chapter 98 Is it the meaning of Xing Yulang?
It was rumored that in order to be selected successfully, a show girl assassinated another girl who was in the same room as a show candidate. In the middle of the night, she used false news to trick her into the pavilion by the lotus pond, and then pushed her down.I thought no one would see it in the middle of the night, but what was even more unfortunate was that the sound of falling into the water was hit by a pair of wild mandarin ducks who had a secret meeting in the garden.Who are these wild mandarin ducks?In fact, everyone is quite familiar with them, namely the third prince and Chu Jing.

Although Chu Jing is domineering and venomous, the cruelest thing she has ever done in her life is to sneer at Dong Huiyu. The most cruel method she ever thought of was if she could scratch Dong Huiyu's foxy face.I never thought that I would suddenly see a murderer who had never even seen a chicken slaughter, and with a groan, most of the people in the imperial city were awakened.

By the time Huiyu and the others heard the news, it was two days later, and things would develop even more bizarrely, and this subsequent development was also related to Dong Wan and Xia Yingbai.That murderous Xiu Nu didn't expect to be smashed by someone, and she was so frightened that she almost lost her soul on the spot.Chu Jing's howl woke up many people, and the ones who arrived the fastest were a group of beautiful girls who also lived nearby and were waiting for election.When there are too many onlookers, it is easy to cause chaos. Dong Wan, who was standing on the sidelines and wanted to stand on the sidelines, fell into the lotus pond in a daze, and stood next to her. Xia Yingbai just pulled her in, unexpectedly, instead of pulling Dong Wan, she got involved with herself.

Huiyu was radiant when she heard this, the lotus pond is indeed the main battlefield of Gongdou, don't stand there if you have nothing to do, girl, it's not uncommon to fall into the water or something.

Compared with the murder of a beautiful girl from a weak family, the fall of the eldest daughter of the Dong family is even more sensational.At that time, I heard that all the people around were shocked, and none of them even jumped into the water to save people (no one wants to rescue a strong enemy, just soak for a while), and it was Xia Bingyu who asked the girl next to him to jump into the water to save people. Life and death are drawn up (after all, it is the heroine, and she must shine everywhere to carry the light of the Virgin to the end).

In short, Xia Bingyu rescued Dong Wan first, and when Xia Yingbai was rescued again, the queen happened to arrive with a group of concubines, and the emperor who was resting at the imperial concubine's place also came, and then saw Xia Yingbai Furong The moment he came out of the water, he was astonished, and hundreds of words of rumors were omitted later.

Huiyu lay on the bed staring at the clumps of peonies embroidered on the willow-green bed curtain in a daze. Who would have thought that the biggest fruit was picked by Xia Yingbai at the end. I heard that Xia Bingyu's face turned black at that time.It is said that when the emperor saw Xia Yingbai's pitiful appearance dripping from the water, he ordered the noble concubine to take him to her palace to settle, and then left, leaving the empress to preside over the rest. of matters.

Your Majesty, there are three girls who fell into the water, why is there only one Xia Yingbai in your eyes?Huiyu's heart is quite complicated. In fact, Xia Yingbai is not as beautiful as Dong Wan. How can she be fished out of the lotus pond and show a different style to be loved by the emperor at first sight?

Is there a problem with the emperor's eye drops?

Huiyu felt that the emperor was unreliable, not only unreliable as a person (he always likes to watch his courtiers bite dogs), but also unreliable in vision (there are so many beautiful girls around who have not fallen into the water waiting for you to fall in love at first sight, why do you just look at this one? It's soaked).Facing an unreliable emperor, Huiyu felt that the rumors of the marriage that came out of the palace were more credible.

The Eldest Prince is in charge, if Zhang Yuqiong is the one who refers to the marriage, then the status of the concubine is not so valuable, and the influence of the Eldest Prince will inevitably be reduced by a few points.Ji Fuyan's marriage partner is Xia Bingyu, Ji Zimo's marriage partner is Chu Ke, and Ji Qiyu's marriage partner is Dong Wan.

Ji Zimo's marriage is also somewhat thought-provoking. He has always had a good relationship with Ji Fuyan. Ji Fuyan's concubine is already the eldest daughter of Xinguo's mansion. If Ji Zimo's concubine is the eldest daughter of the family, then the two The chips on the prince's side are too heavy.So the emperor chose Chu Ke, the second daughter of the Duke of Ling's mansion. Chu Ke's appearance and talent are not as good as her sister's. Ji Zimo is a beauty lover, so she must not look down on Chu Ke. Presumably the relationship between husband and wife will not be very harmonious. .Moreover, Chu Ke was able to overwhelm her own sister to be crowned princess, and the relationship between the sisters must be damaged, not to mention that Chu Jing had a bad relationship with Chu Ke.In this way, it is not a good thing for Chu Ke to be accused of marrying Ji Zimo, Hui Yu couldn't help sighing.

As for why Dong Wan was married to Ji Qiyu, Huiyu really couldn't figure it out. The emperor didn't like the fourth prince, but he pointed him to the most powerful Yue family.The Dong family itself is the head of the four great families. Although the power of the family has been weakened by several generations, it is no longer as prominent as before, but the contacts and foundations that have been managed from generation to generation cannot be cleared in a day or two.In particular, the person in charge of the Dong family's generation is Mr. Dong, who is cunning and cunning. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the other three families of Qin, Xia and Chu have been found reasons or reprimanded by the emperor, or have gradually split apart, but Dong is the only one. The house is still monolithic.Now, with the addition of the Dong family's second in-law, Bei'anhou Mansion, which is in full swing, the Dong family's position has become more and more stable.

In addition, among all the concubines of the princes, only the second prince's marriage is the most prominent. It can also sing in harmony, this marriage is a strong alliance between the right time and place, and Zhan Quanzhen, overwhelmingly better than the other princes.

What is the emperor going to do?
Huiyu wanted to break her head but didn't understand it. She said that you should not guess what a woman is thinking. In fact, the emperor's mind is even more difficult to guess.Xu has read too many romance novels, and may feel that the emperor pointed out this marriage to Ji Qiyu, and Xu has some intention of making up for it, but after Huiyu came to this time and space, she has a better understanding of creatures like the emperor. Deep understanding, in their eyes nothing is more important than imperial power.Then the only reason Huiyu can guess is that the emperor's preferred heir should be Ji Fuyan, but he doesn't want the second prince's power to grow stronger while he is still very nourished, so he sets up an enemy for the second prince and asks him to always Only when the crisis can be felt at any moment can the emperor's position be made more stable.Maybe the emperor would be scumbag if he did this, but it was the most successful method. Everyone referred to Kowloon to seize the heir, and Emperor Kangxi used this trick with great proficiency.Old, weak and young, even the emperor had to be wary, even his own son.

Something happened to Dong Wan in the palace. At this time, Elder Dong's ability was revealed. He quietly opened up the channel of the Imperial Hospital to take good care of Dong Wan's body, and arranged a reliable person beside Dong Wan through other channels. The aunt in charge took care of the maids, and also arranged for the people in front of the imperial court to mention the ladies who fell into the water from time to time in front of the emperor to increase their sense of presence. Don't be bullied silently, the emperor forgot about it.

In short, when Huiyu heard from Mrs. Dong's mouth that the two fell into the water at the same time as Dong Wan, Xia Yingbai lived in the imperial concubine's bedroom because of a special order, and was taken care of very well. However, the other girl who was assassinated was sent out of the palace on the third day after falling into the water. Because the high fever did not subside, there might be some good or bad, so she directly withdrew the sign and handed it over to the hospital. its family.

"How come the high fever persists?" Huiyu looked at Mrs. Dong and asked, "It wasn't the empress who asked the question in person, at least there would be an imperial physician to treat her."

Mrs. Dong Er sneered, looked up at her daughter and said, "What do you know, everyone in this palace has hundreds of minds, and the means of harming people are endless. The empress was diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, but fell into the water The house where the beautiful girl lived was in the shade, when she was convalescing, the window was opened to catch some wind, and the medicine that was not good enough was mixed with water to reduce the medicine's potency by three points. A person's life, she can leave another life is smoke on the ancestral grave."

Huiyu was stunned, is this okay?
Seeing that her daughter rarely has such a stupid side, she glanced at someone who was playing chess in the corner, hmph, this is really exactly the same as when his dead dad was pretending to be dumb.Seeing Master Dong Er and Mrs. Dong Er was full of evil fire, and her complexion also turned dark. Who can tell her when this bastard will get out of her Rong'an Yuan, raise her face all day long, bow her face, and even hit her. He couldn't beat him, and he didn't say a word when he scolded, it was like a dog's skin plaster, so frankly, it made people irritable.In the past, it was annoying to death, but now it is annoying to death. It is almost impossible to live this life.

Huiyu didn't notice Mrs. Dong's irritated expression, so she held the teacup and said, "It's too dark, it's not a talent show, it's terrible."

"So your marriage has to be finalized before the next draft." Mrs. Dong's mood got worse when she thought of this. The young men all over the capital turned around and saw that none of them liked him. There were a lot of miscellaneous problems. A man from a good family background who is not motivated spends all his time recruiting cats and dogs without knowledge and skills, while a man from a poor family background who is motivated is just too shabby. Although a man is too good-looking and unreliable, at least he has to eat with that face, right?This family background doesn't have to be very good, and it doesn't have to be as good as Ji Qiyu, but at least it has to be similar to Dong Er when he was young, and he must be upright and talented.After picking and picking over and over again, Mrs. Dong really felt that her natal nephew and the young man Gu Guangji whom she saw at the border had barely caught her eyes.

As soon as Mrs. Dong Er's words fell to the ground, the chess piece in Master Dong Er's hand over there smashed onto the chessboard.The sound made Huiyu's mother and daughter turn their heads to take a look, and Master Dong's chubby face, which had been raised a little recently, squeezed out a smile, "Hand slippery, slippery hand, hehe..."

Hehe, Huiyu rolled her eyes in her heart, seeing that her mother's expression was not very good, so she immediately got up and said goodbye.Of these two couples, one has a tantrum, the other is shameless, no one can take the other, and they can't get along anyway, and they have to live together these days. Mrs. Dong's anger has skyrocketed recently, and Huiyu doesn't want to be cannon fodder. The soles are oily.

As soon as Huiyu left, Mrs. Dong looked at Master Dong and sneered. Hearing this laughter, Master Dong felt the hairs on his neck stand on end. He lowered his head and pretended to be dead. Tired of life.

"Hand slippery? Hehe, you think I'm stupid, thinking I don't know what you're thinking?"

"I don't think about anything, don't worry too much."

"I'm overhearted? Maybe your good brother talked to you again and mentioned my girl's future?"

"...No, no." Master Dong Er resolutely refused to admit it.

"Why did his daughter suffer a disadvantage in the palace, so he wanted Huiyu to be her substitute? Dreaming!"

"Don't think about it, there's nothing wrong with it." Master Dong Er immediately defended, "Didn't the eldest brother already take care of it in the palace, and nothing will happen."

"It's not up to you to decide what's going to happen. You treat me as blind."

Master Dong Er's face froze, he had to say that his wife's intuition was too keen, his elder brother had indeed talked to him, and in his words, he vaguely mentioned that he was worried about Dong Wan who was in the palace.And from what his elder brother said, it seemed that his niece was framed this time not by accident, and it was not the first time.If Dong Wan can't survive in the palace this time, Huiyu must step up for the family's future.But his elder brother didn't want to face his wife's anger directly, so he let him know first. He has been here for the past two days and has been trying to find a chance to mention it, but now that he looks like this, he... better not say it Alright.

Mrs. Dong Er looked at Mr. Dong Er's vacillating little eyes, stood up abruptly, turned to him sideways, slightly hooked her mouth, narrowed her eyes, and said slowly: "Anyone who wants to touch my daughter, just step on me!" Let the dead body go."

Dong Erye: What if the emperor takes action?
Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud. Before he could show his loyalty, Mrs. Dong Er left him with a beautiful back and flung her face away.

Master Dong Er looked down at the bulls on the chessboard, obviously he didn't do anything, just stayed in a corner peacefully, it is too bullying for a catastrophe to fall on his head in this day!
No one knew about Master Dong Er's depression, but all kinds of gossip news about the draft was like a ban, and new news came out every day.And most of the rumors are not the heroine Xia Bingyu, nor Dong Wan who is still recovering from illness, nor is it a popular candidate for a prince or concubine, but Xia Yingbai who is staying in the imperial concubine's palace to recover from illness.

With the queen's thorough investigation, the truth of the matter slowly surfaced.The show girl who pushed her into the water that night was a lady who came to Beijing from another place to participate in the election, just because she was jealous that the show girl in the same room was more beautiful than her, and she was more flattered by the eunuchs and maids than her, and the show girl who was pushed into the water by her also He is indeed a master who doesn't know how to restrain himself, showing off his complacency in front of others all day long. In this disaster, the two each hit [-] big boards, but because they did something harmful to others, the crime was aggravated.

Originally, this matter was considered to be over here, but I didn't expect that the beautiful woman who pushed people into the water would bite out a person at the last moment, because she couldn't trick people into the lotus pond by herself, and there was another follower... She was an accomplice, so it doesn't matter if the investigation continues, I didn't expect that accomplice was Xia Shuhui, Xia Yingbai's concubine sister.Following Xia Shuhui's investigation, the person who pushed Dong Wanru Shui was also found out, it was Chu Yiyun.Chu Yiyun is Chu Jing's cousin, because it was rumored that Dong Wan was accused of marrying the fourth prince, so out of jealousy, she joined hands with her cousin to assassinate Dong Wan.

As the investigation went on step by step, the matter became more and more out of control. Huiyu never thought that the matter would develop so shockingly.

"Now Chu Jing has become the target of public criticism?"

Dong Feiling and Xue Runiang came to Huiyu's place to chat, talking about various rumors of the recent draft, with a bit of anger on their faces.After all, Dong Wan is a member of the Dong family, and if something happened to her, the Dong family would not look good, especially if it was this kind of thing.

Hearing Dong Feiling's words, Huiyu smiled lightly, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Although Chu Jing has always been sharp in her words and willful in her actions, the relationship between the two families of the Chu family is not very good."

Xue Runiang said after hearing the words: "My cousin's words are also reasonable. If it is normal, there are some sisters who are not harmonious. How could they join hands casually under such circumstances? I'm afraid it's too late to be prepared."

"Cousin, do you mean that Chu Jing was tricked by Chu Yiyun?" Dong Feiling frowned, unable to figure it out for a while. If Dong Wan joined forces with her during the draft, she would always feel that her own sisters were more important than her. Outsiders are much more reliable, and they will still believe it.

Xue Runiang neither shook her head nor nodded, but said, "I don't know, we are not the parties involved, and we don't know how true or false these rumors are, how can we guess."

Huiyu raised her head and glanced at Xue Runiang, but she didn't expect that she saw things much sharper, and thought of some things with her.Chu Jing would not be so foolish as to believe in Chu Yiyun, and Chu Yiyun would not really have a heart-to-heart relationship with Chu Jing. The eldest room and the second room have long since turned against each other under the emperor's alienation. Under such circumstances, it is not a joke that they can join forces what?
It's just that everything is going towards Chu Jing now, and her situation is not very good.Chu Yiyun... No matter how much Huiyu thought about it, she never thought about the final result of this person. After all, in the original text, the appearance rate of this supporting role is basically equal to none. Unexpectedly, she also played a role in the battlefield of the draft.

"It doesn't matter, we are not the masters who decide the case, as long as the big sister is safe and sound." Huiyu didn't want to say too much, Dong Wan had better come back safe and sound, otherwise she must be the most unlucky at that time.

Both Xue Runiang and Dong Feiling smiled, then turned around and talked about other things.

Not long after the two left, Zhong Daxin sent in a letter from Kan Zhiyi.It turned out that Kan Zhiyi did not go south, but met a former fellow on the way, and headed directly to Shandong, saying that he boarded the boat from Penglai.Huiyu calculated the distance. If she traveled from Shandong, it would save at least two-thirds of the time.On the way, I met a fellow from the north, but Huiyu was suddenly shocked, and her face became a little dignified.

Why don't people in the south get on the boat directly from Quanzhou, but go to Penglai, Shandong?

Could it be that something happened to the shipping in the south?Huiyu continued to look down, and sure enough, the letter mentioned that the current situation of Southern Shipping is very bad.Because many of the words in the letter are related to shipping and the darkness of various entangled officialdoms, Huiyu is not omnipotent. She really doesn't know much about shipping, and she doesn't know much about southern officialdom. Can't see how unfavorable the situation is.

Although she doesn't know this, Huiyu knows that Ji Qiyu has always wanted to get involved in Haiyun, but she is unwilling to join forces with him.It's not that Huiyu doesn't like Ji Qiyu, but... how should I put it, Huiyu always thinks that Ji Qiyu is too dangerous, and she is unwilling to touch a tiger's skin no matter how beneficial it is.

Southern Shipping really had a problem. If Ji Fuyan took the lead, this would be a result that Huiyu would not want to see even more.It was mentioned in the original text that Huiyu snatched Kan Zhiyi from Xia Bingyu, so she knew what Kan Zhiyi had done in the south for Ji Fuyan.Although Nanfang Shipping is still owned by the imperial court above its name, Ji Fuyan has successfully controlled nearly half of it in the dark. Even if it is half, the wealth brought by this half is enough to attract attention.The most direct consequence of this half of the wealth on Huiyu's side is that Xing Yulang's grandson died in the border battle, and the Dong family survived in name only. Without money, how did Ji Fuyan use the most severe means to eradicate them in the shortest time?

Without money, Ji Fuyan can buy Donggu Cang to support soldiers and horses to kill Xing Yulang?
Without money, how could Ji Fuyan unite with the other three families to attack the headed Dong family?

Huiyu must face a choice, that is, to choose between Ji Fuyan and Ji Qiyu.

Should he just watch Ji Fuyan successfully control the Southern Shipping, or help Ji Qiyu seize the opportunity.

Huiyu didn't sleep all night. This multiple-choice question is not fun at all. On one side is an abyss, and on the other side is a scourge.Holding the letter from Kan Zhiyi, he didn't make a decision until almost noon.Grinding ink, laying paper, and writing, Huiyu only felt that this breath was extremely difficult to breathe.

If Huiyu joins hands with Ji Qiyu, Huiyu will risk his own life in the future, so the bet is not insignificant.What's more, Ji Qiyu is very likely to become his brother-in-law, Nima's, brother-in-law and sister-in-law join forces to do business, which is not good if it spreads.

No matter how you look at it, this deal of Huiyu is a big loss.

Losing is better than dying.

"It's a heinous crime for the local officials in Quanzhou to collude with merchant ships to make profits in private and open up sea routes for their private ships." Ji Qiyu angrily left the secret letter in his hand on the table, and his already stern face was covered with coldness at this time. frosty.

Zhang Chang and Guo Linghua remained silent, neither of them could have imagined that Southern Shipping had become corrupted to such an extent.

"Now my Dajin has just started to establish the shipping regulations, and the implementation will not last for a few years. If it goes on like this, it will be a moth of the country." Ji Qiyu's chest was churning, wishing to bring the official to the front and take the knife down. .

"Your Highness, calm down." Zhang Chang immediately stood up, looked at Ji Qiyu and said, "Now we know very little about shipping. If we can get someone who is proficient in shipping, we can kill his vitals with one move. It's just a rare talent."

Guo Linghua looked at Zhang Chang, thought for a while, and then said: "The shopkeeper who came to the capital and never left heard that he was reselling seafood, maybe he can use it."

"Behind Kan Zhiyi stands the Marquis of Bei'an, who can move him without the Marquis of Bei'an speaking?" It's not that Zhang Chang has never thought about this, but it's easier to think than to do.

The Marquis of Bei'an never meddled with the affairs of the court, if he was asked to use his own people for the Fourth Highness, it would be more difficult than going to heaven, and he was also an old fox.

There was silence in the room, and Ji Qiyu knew that the key to this matter was not Xing Yulang, but Dong Huiyu.However, Dong Huiyu was always just a housewife, and she did this business only for profit in the end, and she never thought of thinking about the country and society.He was rejected by Dong Huiyu several times, but he couldn't force it.

Thinking of Dong Huiyu, Ji Qiyu's face darkened even more. This woman was the most cunning, selfish, determined, and difficult woman he had ever seen.

At this moment Jiang Qing came in, walked to Ji Qiyu and handed over a letter, and said in a low voice, "A letter written by Miss Dong Er."

Ji Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Jiang Qing, Jiang Qing immediately said: "It was delivered to me by Zhong Danian, and I asked His Highness to disassemble it personally."

Ji Qiyu frowned, reached out to open the letter and looked down.

Zhang Chang and Guo Linghua didn't seem to notice, they both held teacups and bowed their heads to drink tea.Jiang Qing's voice was very low, they didn't hear who the letter was, but seeing His Highness opened it immediately, it should be an important letter.

After reading the letter, Ji Qiyu looked puzzled. He was annoyed by the matter of Quanzhou, but he didn't expect Dong Huiyu to join hands with him on this matter...

The news is very fast. He spent several years building a special communication channel for the shipping. Where did Dong Huiyu's news come from?
Moreover, Dong Huiyu's letter vaguely mentioned that the second emperor brother seemed to intend to intervene in Quanzhou. He had already noticed this matter from the actions of Xin Guogong this year. It took him several years of concentration to check clearly. can know these?Could it be that the Marquis of Bei'an took advantage of Dong Huiyu's desire to join forces with him?
