Chapter 78
"Although the emperor is afraid of the emperor, he still needs the Ninth Prince, otherwise he wouldn't let the Ninth Prince live for so long." Changsun Jingrong didn't want to play charades like this anymore, and said straightforwardly, "Besides, some support is not superficial. The empress thinks We will do our best to do what you want to investigate, what people you need, and things that are inconvenient to do in the palace. Empress, leaving the subordinate will only add one more potential opponent to you, but if you let go If you become a lower official, that will be the cornerstone of your future road. Such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, I really can't figure it out, what reason do you have for refusing!"

The eldest grandson Jingrong's words were very tempting, and Han Wanxin was quite moved. The things that were originally held by her were slowly shifting in favor of the eldest grandson Jingrong.

"Forget it, because you are so sincere in your duty, I will accept you." Han Wanxin sighed with a look of embarrassment, "However, I can only try my best in this matter, but I don't know Whatever the result, don't hold out too much hope."

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Jingrong leaned over and said happily: "As long as the queen is willing to help, Jingrong will be grateful!"

"Okay, if you are grateful, let's talk about it after you succeed. Now I'm going to get ready to go down the mountain. When I get back to the palace, I still have a lot to do."

"Yes."

After getting Han Wanxin's words, the eldest grandson Jingrong slowly withdrew from the tent. When she looked at the blue sky and white clouds again, Jingrong felt a sense of trance.

Leaning his body against the tree trunk, Changsun Jingrong closed his eyes a little tiredly, secretly thinking about what to do next.

After returning to the palace, the rumors about the eldest grandson Jingrong and Sima Ruize have been spread to everyone.Because a similar situation had happened before, some people waited with the mood of watching a drama, whether the eldest grandson Jingrong would be named concubine first, or would disappear inexplicably first.

But to everyone's surprise, Han Wanxin did not alienate her eldest grandson Jingrong because of this, but instead brought her with her, and she had a pleasant face all day long, making it difficult for people to see the slightest clue.

Regarding this, Concubine Fang felt the most depressed, thinking that Han Wanxin was not a magnanimous woman, how could she tolerate her eldest grandson Jingrong having an affair with the emperor?I have gone through so many troubles, just to confirm the crime of Changsun Jingrong, so that she can't argue with it.Now that everything is ready, the only thing she owes is Han Wanxin's fire, how can she bear it! ?
Concubine Fang Gui felt uneasy, and decided to go to Han Wanxin's place in person to see what happened to make her change so much.However, considering the previous closed doors, Concubine Fang Gui planned to kill her first and play later. When she learned that Han Wanxin was admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden, she rushed there, pretending to meet by chance.

"I really didn't expect to meet the empress here!" Concubine Fang Guifei was full of surprise, she took a few steps closer and said, "The empress has been taking good care of herself these days, and she looks much prettier."

Looking sideways at Concubine Fang Gui, then glanced at the flat abdomen, Han Wanxin sneered and said, "If I want to tell you, Concubine Fang Gui will take care of herself, even though she is pregnant, she doesn't detract from her appearance at all, she is still beautiful. "

The corners of her mouth moved a little stiffly, Concubine Fang gradually lost her patience, rolled her eyes around, and said with a smile: "I happened to meet the empress today, and my sister wanted to tell you something, otherwise, in my heart, always Up and down."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Fang Gui didn't care whether Han Wanxin wanted to continue listening or not, so she said, "Originally, my sister wanted to prepare some supplements for the queen to take good care of her body, but she didn't expect that when the eldest grandson Jingrong came, she happened to meet Your Majesty, his words and demeanor are very elegant. This eldest grandson Jingrong is also a beauty and talented. After several conversations, the Emperor praised him very much. The two of them sat in the pavilion and played chess. At that time, my sister felt that it was inappropriate , but the eldest grandson Jingrong is not in my hands, so he can't say anything, and the emperor is in high spirits, so my sister can't interrupt. I thought this matter would be over, and after the queen returned to the palace, my sister would come to personally apologize , but I didn’t expect the rumors to spread everywhere, and the more they spread, the more outrageous, my sister was afraid that the queen would misunderstand, so she deliberately explained it to you. The matter of the eldest grandson’s mirror appearance is really not my sister’s original intention!"

"It's just a rumor. I didn't take it to heart at all. Why do you hold on to it?" Han Wanxin casually looked at the contestants in the flower garden, and said casually, "The words in the palace are as true as they are true. How fake it is, you must know better than Bengong, if such a trivial matter is worth bothering, then it is really mediocre."

Concubine Fang Gui heard that these words were aimed at her, but she didn't want to get angry on the spot, so she could only sneer and said: "It turns out that the empress has made plans a long time ago, it seems that my younger sister is worrying too much. Since the empress already knows the whole story, Then there is no need for my younger sister to talk too much. Please forgive my younger sister for being unwell and unable to accompany my mother to enjoy the flowers, so I will leave now!" Concubine Fang Gui turned around and left angrily after being blessed at will.

"Oh, by the way, I'm afraid my sister's fancy clothes won't be needed anymore. There won't be any good things happening in the palace recently. Some people's plans may come to nothing!"

Her body stiffened, Concubine Fang Gui turned around to look at Han Wanxin, but only saw a figure from her back, she couldn't help clenching her teeth, full of resentment.

"Really, she's just an unfavored woman, she can't even hold the emperor's heart, what's there to be proud of!"

Changsun Jingrong was slowly walking into the imperial garden with a plate of ice plums, and saw a familiar woman standing in the other direction from a distance, and looked intently, it was Concubine Fang Gui.

With just one glance, Changsun Jingrong knew the reason for Fang Guifei's visit.Then he took a light breath, and walked towards Han Wanxin as if nothing had happened.

When standing in front of Han Wanxin, Changsun Jingrong put the Bingmei in front of the table and said, "Ma'am, the sun is scorching right now, let's go to the pavilion to have a rest."

"No, it's pretty good here," Han Wanxin narrowed her eyes and said, "Did you meet Concubine Fang when you came back just now?"

Lowering his head, Changsun Jingrong said, "I just took a look from a distance, and didn't meet face to face."

"Then do you know why she came here?"

"What else can there be? It must be because of those rumors." Changsun Jingrong said flatly, "Fang Guifei wanted to see if the queen's reaction was as ordinary as the outside said. Presumably Fang Guifei must have returned disappointed .”

"Whether she is disappointed or not, I don't care, but I really want to know, who is better at chess, you or the emperor?"

"Of course it's the emperor, the lower officials only know the superficial, so after only two games, the emperor loses interest."

Can't help laughing, Han Wanxin said: "From your point of view, what about Ben Gong's chess skills?"

"Even though Niangniang's chess moves seem soft, they are hidden in the softness, and she kills the enemy thousands of miles away without making a sound."

Hearing this, Han Wanxin looked at her eldest grandson Jingrong, her eyes seemed to be smiling, but she was serious, and said, "I really don't want you to be my opponent. In that case, there will be one less person who understands me gone."

Changsun Jingrong acted as if he didn't catch the meaning behind the words, and still stood there with a respectful expression.

Staring at Changsun Jingrong closely, Han Wanxin asked in a clear voice: "Changsun Jingrong, what kind of grand marriage do you want?"

Just when Han Wanxin decided to make the decision for the eldest grandson Jingrong recklessly and marry the Ninth Prince, Sima Ruize was a step ahead and ordered the marriage, bestowing the eldest grandson Jingrong to Sima Xukong.

Such a sudden move surprised everyone.Except for Sima Xukong, no one expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse in such a short period of time, catching everyone by surprise.In this regard, Han Wanxin is the happiest. Not only does he not have to offend Sima Ruize, but he can also get rid of this potential threat in front of him. It's a double win.

However, the eldest grandson Jingrong was not so happy.Not only because the eldest grandson Jingrong will marry into the palace as a side concubine, but also because she knows that Sima Xukong must have promised the emperor something, and the emperor will be so happy to propose marriage.However, she couldn't see Sima Xukong now, and she was full of questions that she couldn't answer, so she could only wait for news in the palace every day.

The wedding is set on the tenth day of October, and there is still more than half a month for the eldest grandson Jingrong to prepare, and the queen allows her to return home to reunite with her family.

The eldest grandson's family, who had known the news of the marriage a long time ago, waited outside the door early on the day when the eldest grandson Jingrong returned to the mansion. When they saw the carriage coming from the palace, they all looked forward to it, their necks stretched out.

"Hey, it's Miss, it's Miss who's back!" Bi He's eyes were sharp, and as soon as she saw the palm protruding from her elder grandson's face, she ran forward happily, and skillfully helped her out of the carriage, her eyes sparkling.

As Bihe expected, the person in the carriage was none other than the eldest grandson Jingrong.

Pingting stepped out of the carriage, looking at her family, her eldest grandson Jingrong suddenly felt a sense of vicissitudes.Walking towards the crowd slowly, Bai Qinghua walked over first, holding the hands of the eldest grandson Jingrong, looked up and down, with stars shining in his eyes, and said: "You child, why are you so thin?"

"There are delicacies from mountains and seas in the palace. If you are tired of eating, naturally eat less. And the food outside is always not as delicious as at home. Mother can make some delicious food to supplement my daughter." The eldest grandson revealed Looking like a little girl, Rou Yi leaned beside Bai Qinghua, and said with a smile, "Mother, don't think your daughter is lazy."

"You girl, it's too late for your mother to be happy if you can eat more, so why would you say anything?" Bai Qinghua wiped the corners of his eyes and said.

"Okay, okay, Jingrong finally came back, why are you crying, today is a good day, let's go back to the house first!" Changsun Zhentian walked to his wife and daughter, smiled and comforted, "Jingrong, since When you come back, you should relax and spend more time with your mother, she has worried about you a lot during your absence."

"Don't worry, Daddy, my daughter will do her best to be filial to her parents." The eldest grandson Jingrong said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

The eldest grandson Zhentian suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was very strange. Although he had only been separated for less than a month, there was a trace of majesty and desolation around the eldest grandson Jingrong at this moment, which made people dare not get too close.

Seeing the friendly scene, Aunt Jiao, unwilling to be lonely, also came up to her, and slowly said with a smile: "Oh, our mirror is really amazing, to be a princess! This is really a blessing!"

"It's thanks to Aunt Jiao that I've made it this far." Changsun Jingrong glanced at Aunt Jiao, and then walked straight into the mansion.And it was this kind of look that made Aunt Jiao dare not say any more, but just followed behind everyone anxiously, a little at a loss.

In the main hall, Changsun Zhentian originally wanted Changsun Jingrong to sit in the main seat, but Changsun Jingrong refused in every possible way, saying that it was unreasonable, so he sat in the lower seat.

Looking up and down at his eldest grandson Jingrong, Bai Qinghua felt a little sore in his eyes again.After only a few days of seeing each other, my daughter has changed a lot, and there is a little more vicissitudes in her eyes. Presumably, during that period of time, she must have experienced unknown sorrows and sorrows.

But thinking that today is a good day, Bai Qinghua restrained his sorrow, and said with a smile: "Jing Rong, I have discussed with your father, and I plan to give you some land as a dowry, and then add some gold, silver and jewelry. It can be regarded as supporting the appearance. After all, you are married into the palace, it is too shabby, and you will be looked down upon in the future."

"Father and mother don't have to worry about this. The money my daughter earns is enough for me to get married." The eldest grandson Jingrong said, "You can keep those lands for your retirement. Don't worry about your daughter."

"Hey, you can't say that," Changsun Zhentian waved his hand and said, "When you marry into the palace, your surroundings will naturally be different. Maybe there will be a place for money at some point. Our Changsun's family is not as influential in the capital as it was back then. It's not as good as usual, that's all your parents can do for you, don't be disgusted."

"What did the parents say? As a daughter, how can there be any saying that they dislike the parents? It's because the daughter is unfilial, which makes the parents worry about the daughter."

"Oh, it's all from my family, why bother to thank you, it just adds to the sadness." Seeing that she was always unable to get in the way, Aunt Jiao said hurriedly, "The most urgent thing now is to think about the happy clothes in the mirror. Lah, guest list, house decoration, etc. There is only half a month left, the time is a bit tight, we have a lot to do."

Hearing that Aunt Jiao's words made sense, Bai Qinghua quickly nodded and said: "That's right, Jingrong, what's so special about the Ninth Prince's house? It's the first time for our house to hold a wedding, and we don't have much experience. Let's find a happy mother-in-law to help with the arrangements."

"I'm just a side concubine, so there's no need to go through so much trouble." Changsun Jingrong said lazily, as if he didn't take this marriage too seriously.

"Oh, that's not allowed," Aunt Jiao was the first to stand up to object after hearing this, "I heard that the Ninth Prince has no wives and concubines except for a few concubines. If you marry him, you will be the head of the family." Mistress. Even if there is another concubine in the future, you are still an old man in the house, and she will respect you three points. And if you can give birth to a little son earlier, you may be able to become the concubine! Jing Rong Ah, until the last moment, no one knows what will happen, you can't marry and lose your confidence first."

Bai Qinghua's relationship with Aunt Jiao was not good on weekdays, but her words touched Bai Qinghua's heart.She was also worried that her daughter would be bullied in the future, and it would be best to be the mistress, so she said comfortingly at the moment: "Your aunt Jiao is right, you don't have to be so pessimistic, maybe in the future, you will respect her more Your status may also be uncertain. Now you can rest assured, prepare well, and be the most beautiful bride. Leave the rest to us."

"That's good," Changsun Jingrong nodded, and said, "The marriage should be decided by the parents, so the daughter should go back to rest first." When he was in the palace, Changsun Jingrong was tense every day. For fear of doing something wrong or saying something wrong.But as soon as I got home, my body relaxed and I was a little sleepy. I just wanted to go back to my room and have a good sleep on the water.

Bai Qinghua saw that the eldest grandson Jingrong was indeed tired, so he said distressedly: "Come back, come back, get a good sleep, mother will make you your favorite crystal pork belly."

Hearing this, Changsun Jingrong pursed his lips and smiled, got up and was about to leave the front hall.But standing at the door, she suddenly looked sideways at Aunt Jiao, and asked, "By the way, why didn't you see Sister Wan Yue?"

"She..." Aunt Jiao looked a little embarrassed, smiled, and said, "She is not feeling well recently, and she is recuperating."

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and Changsun Jingrong said: "If you recover from your illness, you will be able to live and dance, and you will be able to walk a long way in the future. I will go see Sister Wanyue again some other day."

She moved her body uncomfortably, and Aunt Jiao really felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

At this time, in the palace, the Empress Dowager looked at Han Wanxin with a livid face, and asked in a cold voice: "Why are you so confused! The eldest grandson Jingrong has no intention of staying in the palace, why are you so guarded against her?" What good will it do you to drive away a good helper!?"

Han Wanxin sat down on the chair, not as usual, she would obediently admit her mistake after being scolded, today she seems to have other thoughts.

Slowly raising her head, Han Wanxin looked at the Empress Dowager, and said, "Eldest grandson Jingrong, she is beautiful and intelligent. With such a person by your side, if you use it well, it will be a sharp weapon to protect yourself. But if you don't use it well, you will be You will be accidentally injured. Erchen thinks that he doesn't have the ability to be able to hold his eldest grandson's face. Instead of worrying about it every day, it's better to sell her favor and send her away. The emperor's grandmother, the heart is the most unpredictable, no one knows, She will change her mind at some point. My son doesn't want to plant the seeds of disaster for the future."

After listening to Han Wanxin's words, the Empress Dowager was silent for a long time, then sighed heavily, and said, "Wanxin, you are too suspicious, and you don't know how to trust others. Sooner or later, it will hurt you."

Clutching the handkerchief in her hand, Han Wanxin said: "I don't know what will happen in the future, but now I can only grasp the present and leave no regrets."

Seeing Han Wanxin's persistence, the Empress Dowager felt distressed and helpless, and at the same time felt sorry for losing such a good helper as her eldest grandson Jingrong.

But the matter has already happened, so we can only look forward, the Empress Dowager said: "Eldest Sun Jingrong used to be someone close to you anyway, on the day of her wedding, prepare a generous gift."
