Hard to be a good wife

"Nizi! Nizi!" After hearing the news that his son had been arrested, Lord Zhen couldn't help smashing a room full of porcelain.

Zhao Sanyun's series of actions wiped away the guilt he felt for the injury of Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife.

"Who arrested him? Don't they know whose son Qi'er is? Have they taken me seriously!" Duke Zhen was furious. After receiving the title, his prestige as the Lord of the Town has long since plummeted.

But no matter what, he is also the Duke of the country who holds the military power. Could it be possible that even a small government official can climb on top of him and do his best?

"Master, I heard that the Crown Princess was present, and you also know that he and the third... Young Master are obviously close friends, so those petty officials naturally have to listen to him."

"It's him again!" Duke Zhen clenched his fists. He had no ill feeling toward Tang Yue. After all, he had prescribed medicine for himself, and it did work.

But he always believed that the reason why Zhao Xian went to the point of betraying the family step by step was because of him. Ever since he got acquainted with him, Zhao Sanyun became more and more rebellious.

Tang Yue didn't know that he was regarded as an enemy by his father. He sent someone to send Zhao Sanying back to the mansion, and he went home too. As for the fight between him and Zhao Qi, it was just a fight between the two brothers. It's just a fight, who really dares to blame him?

Even if Lord Zhen Guo stood up to punish Zhao Sanyun for his crimes, it would depend on whether the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world would agree.

The family affairs in Zhen Guogong's mansion were full of turmoil, and the government was quite critical of this. The crime of pampering concubines and destroying wives is not so easy to eliminate.

Back home, Prince Zhao has also returned, sitting on the porch playing the piano, Tang Yue thought he was dazzled by the wrong person at first glance, rubbed his eyes and stared carefully for a long time before he was sure that the one was sitting cross-legged in the grass, playing the piano The man is undoubtedly his family.

The sound of the piano is curling, very agile, but Tang Yue has no musical talent at all, except that he thinks he plays well, he can't judge how ugly Yinmao is.

When the crown prince came to an end, he walked forward with a smile and clapped his hands in praise: "Your Highness can also play the piano, you are both civil and military!" How did this man's head grow? how to live

Prince Zhao put the guqin on his lap aside, patted the place beside him, and signaled Tang Yue to sit down and talk.

Naturally, Tang Yue didn't refuse. After sitting down, he took the guqin and fiddled with it twice.

"Do you want to learn the piano?" Prince Zhao asked expressionlessly.

Tang Yue said "Ah", "Why? I don't know anything about these, and I'm not interested in learning." Although he can play the piano very well, he still feels that this art is too feminine and belongs to the category of women's art.

Prince Zhao's face turned even darker when he heard that he didn't want to learn. He went to the front yard all day long. If it wasn't for learning the piano, wouldn't it mean he was going for that person?

He asked straight to the point: "Didn't you keep that violinist down so that he could teach you the art of violin?"

Only then did Tang Yue think of this, his eyeballs moved, and he didn't talk to him in an official way, "Of course not, I just think he's suspicious, so I want to keep him to take a look."

"Suspicious?" Prince Zhao didn't know where his feeling came from, but at least he felt a little better.

Tang Yue leaned into his ear and whispered: "Don't you think so? I bumped into you on the road and was rescued by you. It's fine if you look ordinary, but she's a beauty. You have a different status. I will naturally Think in the worst direction."

The corner of Prince Zhao's mouth curled up, "But I have been checked by someone alone, and there is nothing suspicious about his identity."

"You are stupid, if you approached you deliberately, how could you easily find out the problem? The more this kind of person has no problems, the more suspicious he is."

Being scolded for being stupid, instead of being angry, Prince Zhao felt relieved and even smiled in a rare way.

He hasn't given Tang Yue a good look for a long time, but he usually doesn't have a rich expression, Tang Yue pretends not to see it, eats what he should eat, sleeps what he should sleep, and just leaves Prince Zhao alone and sulks.

"Then do you think he came here for Gu?"

"Could it be that they are coming after me?" Tang Yue pointed to himself, and snorted twice, "I knew that there must be a lot of rotten peach blossoms rushing towards you with your identity. Ready to deal with it."

"Oh? Then how are you going to deal with it? Are you planning to get tired of being with him every day like this, waiting for him to show his feet?" Prince Zhao felt that he was so naive that he would be angry because of an unknown person. If he had known Tang The more stupid he is, why should he have trouble with himself?

"Of course it's more than that. I'm going to create some opportunities for him to meet you next time. If he comes after you, he will definitely take action. Don't you want to know who sent him?"

"I don't want to!" Prince Zhao replied without thinking, he knew too well what kind of people would oppose him, and he needed to sacrifice his appearance to verify.

"Not curious at all?"

Prince Zhao rolled his eyes, "Since you know that he has evil intentions, why do you keep him in the mansion? After driving him away, even if the other party wants to continue to attack, he will definitely think of other ways. You are not keeping him for nothing. Give him a chance to make trouble?"

"But without this, there will be another one. Instead of guessing next time, it's better to grab the ready-made one. This is much easier to control than the enemy's dark self."

Prince Zhao admitted that what he said made sense, but he didn't need to use such means to understand his opponent. The reason he married Tang Yue back was not to let him participate in these intrigues.

"Don't worry about these, your talent is not here, this head should be decorated with other useful things." Prince Zhao poked his forehead, and said with a smile: "Letting a majestic doctor to seduce opponents is really overkill!"

The corners of Tang Yue's mouth twitched when he heard the word 'seduction', why would he still go to seduction with his appearance?Who is seducing whom?

"Your Highness...Your Highness..." The steward ran in with a happy face, "Your Highness, General Hu has returned to the city, and I heard that he brought the latest news about North Vietnam's peace request."

"Hu Jinpeng?" Tang Yue stood up excitedly. He hadn't seen this person for more than half a year. Ever since he was sent to the border to replace Prince Zhao, the two had lost contact. Even when he married Prince Zhao, He wasn't able to attend either.

Prince Zhao was also happy. Hu Jinpeng was able to come back after the North Vietnam sued for peace and there was no war on the border. "Send someone to invite him over to the house for a briefing. You ask the kitchen to prepare more dishes that your cousin likes to eat."

"Yes, I will make arrangements for this old slave." The butler agreed with a smile. This Hu Jinpeng is the most powerful assistant beside his master, and he is the son of Duke An and the cousin of His Highness. Their relationship is closer than the rest. more reliable.

Tang Yue was happy for a while, and asked with a smile: "Last time you disrespected Princess Liyang, and I don't know if she will sue after she returns."

"So what about the complaint? Could it be that North Vietnam will send troops because of this?" The princess of the royal family is noble and noble, but in the face of the general situation, it is really not worth mentioning.

Tang Yue smiled, not thinking about the troublesome princess, "I'm going to make a menu, Brother Hu finally came back, we have to treat him well."

When the sun was setting and it was almost past dinner time, Hu Jinpeng came in a hurry, and he didn't have time to change into his military uniform.

"Your Highness, forgive me. I was kept by the king in the palace to talk for a while, so I was late." Hu Jinpeng apologized as soon as he came, and then blinked at Tang Yue.

"Don't play with such nonsense, come and sit quickly." Tang Yue waved to him, leaving him a seat beside him.

He wouldn't dare to change it to someone else, but the relationship between Hu Jinpeng and the Prince's Mansion is not just about superiors and subordinates, even if it's casual, it's fine.

Prince Zhao also motioned for him to sit down, and then ordered the food to be served, but before the food arrived, the wine had already been poured.

Hu Jinpeng made a toast to the two of them first, as a way to make up for the wedding wine when they got married. After Tang Yue finished drinking a glass, he pulled him and asked, "Tell me, what's new in the North Vietnam peace talks?"

"Haha...Xiao Ling, don't be nervous. Are you jealous because you heard that Beiyue Princess is going to marry the Crown Prince?"

Prince Zhao pursed his lips, smiled without saying a word, Tang Yue snorted twice, "Then she must be able to marry."

Hu Jinpeng also heard a lot of gossip along the way, but he believed in Prince Zhao's character and persistence even more. Even if he wanted to marry a wife, he would definitely not marry a North Vietnamese princess.

He knew better than anyone else that Prince Zhao hated North Vietnam.

"This time, Beiyue sent another envoy, who happened to be with me all the way. I learned from him that Beiyue still wants to marry His Highness, but those dowry gifts can be waived, and we can just marry as a normal family."

Tang Yue said quietly: "Would a normal family marry a regular wife again? If you want to enter the house, you are also a concubine."

It is definitely impossible for the dignified North Vietnamese princess to come in and be a concubine. There is something wrong with this marriage.

"Other than that?" Prince Zhao asked. North Vietnam has always regarded itself very highly, so it is impossible to have such a cheap thing.

Sure enough, Hu Jinpeng said sullenly: "The king of Beiyue also made a request. Once the North and the South sign a peace agreement, within the next year, at least [-] men from the Southern Jin Dynasty will marry Beiyue women every year."

"Intermarriage?" Prince Zhao frowned. Intermarriage between the north and the south has always been taboo. Only small families don't care about it. Nobles are not allowed to intermarry between the north and the south.

Was the King of Beiyue making this proposal just to gradually dissolve the hatred and estrangement between the North and the South?

Tang Yue also thought so. Historically, intermarriage was indeed used to achieve political goals. This North Vietnamese request is not out of line, but it is really unclear who will get more benefits.

"Marrying from the south to the north, why do you feel that we are still taking advantage?"

Prince Zhao and Hu Jinpeng looked at each other, and the latter explained: "It seems that we are cheap, but in fact, after many years of fighting, the ratio of the number of men and women is not coordinated. If you come to the Southern Jin Dynasty, you can still give birth to their children, so how can you suffer?"

"That's true. There are more men and women, which makes the status of men rise sharply. If North Vietnam interferes, women will probably be bought and sold like commodities in the long run."

"It's a good plan, but the father will not agree." Prince Zhao still has confidence in this point.

"So, this time the peace talks still can't be negotiated?" Tang Yue narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why do they have to ask each time? We can also ask, otherwise people in the world will think that we Nanjin didn't want to and."

Crown Prince Zhao and Hu Jinpeng laughed at the same time, "Yes, what Xiaolan said is absolutely right. After this time, someone in the court should have brought it up. Peace and change cannot be negotiated overnight, so there is no rush."

In this kind of thing, the person who puts forward the conditions first wins. In the end, it only depends on which side is more tolerant, and which side is more eager to negotiate peace.

Leaving aside the business, Hu Jinpeng devoured the meal, and said after the meal: "Ever since I tasted Tang Xiaoyun's cooking skills, the food outside is really unpalatable. Now that I'm back, I can finally reward the roundworms in my stomach."

Tang Yue teased him: "I didn't see you getting thinner then, so you must have made a small fuss?"

Hu Jinpeng coughed, glanced at Prince Zhao's side face and replied, "Occasionally, I catch a wild game and make a tooth sacrifice."

This kind of thing would also violate military orders during wartime, but since there was no war in Jin Cong, everyone relaxed relatively after they were free.

Prince Zhao didn't blame him for anything. Seeing that Tang Yue was sleepy, he drove him to sleep, and he and Hu Jinpeng went to the study.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have confirmed that Xiao Lang's identity is not wrong. He is indeed the son of the Marquis of Liyang." Before Hu Jinpeng went to the border this time, Prince Zhao asked him to secretly check Tang Yue's identity.

He nodded, his expression didn't change. Although this matter was weird, he and Tang Yue had already made up their minds, so they didn't want to continue to investigate.

He had some guesses vaguely, and felt it was unbelievable, so he simply didn't think about it or investigate it, it was rare for him to be confused.
