After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Whether it's an engagement or a marriage, the busiest person is always the person next to him, not the person himself, and it's the same at Tu Lei and Daiyu's engagement banquet.

The two of them just tried on the clothes and jewelry, that's all. Even the clothes fit perfectly, and there was no need to modify them at all. After all, the skill of the embroiderer in the House of Internal Affairs is not superficial. As for the jewelry? Yes, although it is also managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Holy One specially gave Daiyu a purple jade hairpin.

Inserting hairpins has always been intended to be fixed, and purple jade is the jade used by the royal family, and it is also an emblem of status.

With the help of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not to mention that Daiyu, as the protagonist of the engagement banquet, is already at leisure, everything follows the rules, and Daiyu only needs to try on the clothes and jewelry, which is enough.In this way, she can focus more on Wang Ziteng's poison.

Although Daiyu was not familiar with the poison in Wang Ziteng's body at the beginning, it inevitably took a little longer, but after a few more trials, she also found out the pattern, and the speed of healing was much faster.

The strange thing is that according to Daiyu's calculations, even if Wang Ziteng is not fully awake, he should have some reaction, but Wang Ziteng is still unconscious. Daiyu really can't understand, so he can only heal Wang Ziteng more vigorously.

Fortunately, there is the matter of engagement. She has been thinking about the poison on Wang Ziteng's body for a while, and her mind is full of various medicinal materials. , but saved a lot of lip service.

But at the engagement banquet, no matter how much other matters can be entrusted to others, when the day comes, Daiyu and Tu Lei will have to show their faces.

The Crown Princess was somewhat dissatisfied with Daiyu at the beginning, not to mention that not long after she found her son, her son became another woman, which displeased her as a mother, not to mention that although the Lin family was in court He was able to get on the stage, but compared with the family of four princes and eight males, it was still a little bit worse.

Furthermore, she originally had some small thoughts in her heart, hoping that her son would marry someone close to her natal family, but all of them were interrupted by Emperor Pingkang's decree to bestow marriage. It's no wonder how much the Crown Princess likes Daiyu .

But no matter how much she didn't like it, the Crown Princess had stayed in the palace for many years. No matter how much she didn't like her, her look and eyes didn't show any traces. Instead, she kept praising Daiyu, as if she really liked her future daughter-in-law.

The Crown Princess's expression was stronger than others, but it was nothing more than Daiyu, who had been her daughter-in-law for many years. She and Tu Lei looked at each other, showing a bit of helplessness.

The problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even in another world, is still a big problem. Fortunately, the princess has always been virtuous and sensible. She's not the kind of person who will rely on her mother-in-law's status to tell her what to do, as long as she doesn't make mistakes in her big face.

At the engagement banquet between Tu Lei and Daiyu, there were naturally a lot of guests, not only the relatives of the Lin family, but also most of the court officials. Among the several princes, except the fifth prince who had set fire to the Yuqing Palace, Except for the fourth prince who is currently the crown prince and the little princes who are still Mengli, the other princes are all present.

Originally, it was the third prince who attracted the most attention. Even though the third prince usually did not show much prominence in the court, after the eldest prince passed away and Tu Mingwen was imprisoned in Yuqing Palace, the third prince was hidden in the clan. For the most part, even though Emperor Pingkang didn't like this son very much, it seemed that he wanted to praise the third son as the imperial order.

After all, among the princes at that time, the third prince had the highest status in the royal family, and he was able to suppress those clans as the order of the clan.

But that was before, after knowing the good deeds that the third prince had done, it would be no wonder if Tu Mingwen was willing to let the third prince be the patriarch.

Just looking at the 'brothers' around him, Tu Mingwen was also a little helpless. In the past, he always felt that his father had too many brothers, but now he looked at them, and felt that his father had too few brothers. Not to mention, most of them are children. If there are more, he will have more choices, and he doesn't have to take advantage of the third child for nothing.

Just when Tu Mingwen was thinking about whether he should choose someone from the clan, a servant from the Lin family came to report with a strange expression, saying that the crown prince had arrived in person!

When they heard that the prince had arrived in person, everyone couldn't help but look weird, even if Tu Lei was the grandson of the emperor, but no one thought that the prince would come to beg for such a glass of water and wine.

It's not that the dispute between the two princes has reached the point of sharp swords and guns, but that the prince lost his son first and then his wife. It's really inconvenient to have filial piety.

Li shi went crazy after the miscarriage. Tu Mingyu had no patience with Li shi. After seeing her go crazy, she became even more indifferent to Li shi. The maids and servants are just taking care of Mrs. Li.

Seeing that Mrs. Li is no longer successful, the maids and servants who have some connections have already found a way to leave, and the rest are just some maids and servants who have no connections. The person---Li Nanny is gone, so Li's madness became more and more serious, and later, she died suddenly and inexplicably in the fourth prince's mansion.

Although everyone guessed that Mrs. Li would not last long, they did not expect Mrs. Li to leave so suddenly, so blatantly, without even looking for a reason, and died suddenly and directly.

Everyone understands that the royal family will never tolerate a crazy daughter-in-law, and it will be a matter of time before Li Shi dies, but everyone did not expect that Tu Mingyu would not even wait, how long has Li Shi been crazy, so soon It took Li's life.

Not only that, although the royal family did not observe filial piety, but Tu Mingyu came to the banquet a few days after Mrs. Li left, and he did not take his first wife seriously.

Seeing Tu Mingyu appearing, many well-mannered people couldn't help frowning slightly, even Tu Mingwen and the princess couldn't help frowning slightly, after all, this was their son's engagement banquet, and they saw him at the engagement banquet. Such a man who has just been widowed is a bit unlucky.

Although Tu Mingyu was suspected of being unlucky, Tu Mingxuan stood up and greeted Tu Mingyu in person, even if everyone could see that the sage intended to change the prince, but in terms of status, Tu Mingxuan was just a prince, and Tu Mingyu is the crown prince, always slightly higher than Tu Mingwen, and when the crown prince arrives in person, Tuming Wen should greet him personally.

Although the status on the surface is slightly lower than that of Tu Mingyu, there is still a light smile on Tu Mingwen's face, and Tumingwen and his wife are both wearing the apricot yellow uniforms authorized by Emperor Pingkang. On the contrary, his momentum was stronger than that of Tu Mingyu.

Tu Mingwen arched his hands and said with a smile: "The prince is here, please forgive Mingwen for being too far away to welcome you."

Although Tu Mingyu had a gloomy expression on his face, he didn't show any trace on the surface, instead he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations."

He glanced at the three grandchildren who were in front of and behind Tu Mingwen, and the little grandson who was held in the arms of the nanny beside him, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

What he envied Tu Mingwen the most was not his father's preference for him, nor his status as a direct descendant, but the luck of his sons. Among the princes, only Tu Mingwen had so many children under his knees. He also didn't know that he was imprisoned in Yuqing Palace for so many years, he was a useless person, how could he protect his son under his knees! ?

but……

Tu Mingyu's eyes were slightly sharp, sometimes it's not a good thing if there are too many children.

Tu Mingyu smiled and said: "Brother Lei is engaged, how can I, as an uncle, not come to congratulate me, it's just..."

He looked thoughtfully at the two concubines beside Tu Mingwen, and said with a smile: "However, Brother Tang and Brother Jiao are older than Brother Lei, and this younger brother got engaged earlier than elder brother. some……"

Tu Mingyu deliberately said half-baked words, but as expected, upon hearing this, both Tu Tan and Tu Jiao looked a little bit bad.

The two brothers looked weird, Tu Jiao was younger, he couldn't control his expression, and even showed a bit of innocence.

Tu Yu and Tu Jiao are the two concubine sons of Tuming Wen. Although they are concubines, but because Tu Ming Wen and his family were imprisoned in Yuqing Palace, these two concubine sons lived in Tuming since childhood. Stewed knees to feed.

Tu Mingwen has been imprisoned for many years, poor and bored, so he can only take care of his children seriously. If Tuming Wen didn't take good care of him, the two bastards under his knees would not be able to live until now. Because of this, Tu Ming He Tu Jiao is a bit more advanced than what Tu Lei remembered, but also because of this, the two are more focused on competing than in Tu Lei's previous life.

The two of them had faintly regarded each other as rivals, and they often fought openly and secretly in Yuqing Palace, but suddenly a Tu Lei flew out of the sky and forcibly suppressed the two of them.

After all, the two had been imprisoned in Yuqing Palace for a long time, and they didn't know the outside world, only because Tu Lei was born in the first place, no matter the attention of his father, or even the usual food, clothing, housing and transportation, he was far from them. As far as I can, I'm already a little dissatisfied.

Helplessly, Tu Mingxuan was partial to Tu Lei, and Tu Lei himself could not find any faults, so the two could only endure it reluctantly, but what Tu Mingyu said immediately aroused their dissatisfaction.

They are obviously the sons of the father, how can the father treat one more than another.

Tu Mingwen frowned slightly, and for a moment he didn't even think about being polite.

Some things are unavoidable, the taste of power is too attractive, even he has fallen into it before, not to mention that Tu Tan and Tu Jiao are still half-grown children, how could they not be tempted.

Tu Mingyu still didn't think it was enough, and he didn't forget to add fuel to the fire: "Look at these two children, I think of our eldest brother."

"Oh..." Tu Mingyu deliberately let out a long sigh, "It's not easy to be the eldest son of a concubine."

At that time, the eldest brother competed with the deposed prince because of his status as the eldest son of the emperor. Although the prince was forced to depose, he did not end up well and died suddenly for no reason. To this day, he still does not know the reason for his eldest brother's death.

Thinking of this, Tu Mingyu couldn't help but pause. There is no room for retreat in the matter of seizing the heirloom. Once he retreats, it will be an abyss.

Tu Mingwen smiled slightly, "Brother has too many thoughts."

He glanced at Tu Ju and Tu Jiao meaningfully, then patted Tu Mingyu on the shoulder, and said lightly, "You know who you are!"

Apart from being the eldest son of a concubine, Eldest Brother has nothing worthy of arguing with him. Back then, he was not so much defeated by Eldest Brother as by his father's desire for power. As for Tu Mingyu, it was even worse. Needless to say.

Tu Mingwen persuaded: "It's not yours, so don't think about it too much, lest you fall into the fate of big brother and harm others and yourself!"

Eldest brother's failure not only caused his death, but also the elder brother's mother and concubine's natal family. The decline of the dignified family in the previous dynasty is somewhat related to elder brother's inability to see himself clearly.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Tu Mingyu's face, and he had heard some sour words during this time.

He admits that he is far inferior to Tu Mingwen in dealing with political affairs, but this is also because Tu Mingwen has been taught by Emperor Pingkang since he was a child, and he has been taught by Emperor Pingkang for a long time, and he is just an empty prince. Even if he became a prince, he would still be under the supervision of his father, and he would not dare to interact with the courtiers much. That could be compared with Tu Mingwen.

If he was like Tu Mingwen...

For a moment, Tu Mingyu also showed a bit of jealousy.

Tu Mingwen laughed loudly, "Prince, please!"

I don't know if it was intentional, but Tu Mingwen's voice from the prince seemed to be indifferent, as if he didn't take Tu Mingyu to heart, but in terms of attitude, Tu Mingyu's actions were impeccable, he turned slightly, and directly Let Tu Mingyu take the seat.

Although Tu Mingxuan took a step back, instead of judging the rank of his brothers, he gave way directly to Tu Mingyu, but his attitude was calm, neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't see the trend. As far as the aura cultivated by such a long-term superior, Tu Mingyu can't say anything.

Tu Mingyu gritted his teeth secretly, obviously he was the prince, but where did this feeling of inferiority come from?

He snorted coldly, and took the seat directly, he will not retreat!

And...he glanced at Tu Mingxuan with a hint of complacency, that seat must be his.

The change in Tu Mingyu's eyes was only for a moment, but both Tu Mingwen and Tu Lei saw it clearly. Both of them are human beings, so it is natural to understand that Tu Mingyu must have some certainty, so he dared to be so proud ,only……

The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help but have a lot of question marks in their minds. Tu Mingyu wanted money, but he didn't have money, and he didn't want people. He was the worst prince. Where did he get his confidence?

Tu Mingwen narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly remembered the real reason why his elder brother was ordered to commit suicide by his father. It seems...someone is going to kill himself.
