The story of the rich and the young being tricked into farming

Jing Ling held up the porcelain cup, gently blew on the hot tea in the cup, and watched Ye Xiaozhou's reaction from the corner of her eye, thinking that this Concubine Ning was really the same as the one he found, more than beautiful, thoughtful But too clean.

His younger brother actually likes such a vase, really...

The emperor curled his lips calmly.

At the same time, the queen who was holding the white at the chess table was unable to make a move any longer, so she could only put the jade chess in her hand back into the urn, and then stood up and bowed slightly to King Ning.

"This palace lost."

Jing Min also bowed in return: "The empress is indeed very skilled in chess, and she is not inferior to the chess players in the Imperial Academy."

"My palace is fortunate to be taught by my father often. King Ning did not have a teacher, but he played this thoughtful and good move. This is admirable." The queen lost frankly, but still smiled generously. Born earlier, I must have met my father."

Jing Min: "Sister-in-law Huang is really absurd, how dare my younger brother compare with Mr. Kong Xu?"

The two of them returned to the emperor and Ye Xiaozhou after finishing their courtesies.From a distance, Jing Min noticed that Ye Xiaozhou's expression was not right, his eyes moved, and fell on Jing Ling who was in full swing.

"What did the emperor and Xiao Zhou talk about?" Jing Min smiled slightly, "Why does my brother look at the emperor in a good mood?"

"It's just a little homework," Jing Ling replied unhurriedly, "Ah Min married such a beautiful and smart princess, I am naturally happy for you, and my father is under the nine springs, I must also be happy for you." You are happy."

Jing Min pushed the wheelchair and stopped beside Ye Xiaozhou, and called him softly: "Xiaozhou."

Ye Xiaozhou lowered his head and ignored him.

The emperor saw all this in his eyes, and then slowly said: "Just now I have discussed with Princess Ning, it is a pity that Princess Ning is such a good seedling, she only lives in Prince Ning's mansion, it is better to find an official in the court Half-time, assisting the government with King Ning."

Jing Min met the emperor's eyes with a smile that was not a smile: "Thank you, brother, for thinking about Xiaozhou, but Xiaozhou's mind is not on the temple."

"That's not necessarily the case," Jing Ling chuckled, and then said, "I don't want to force others to make things difficult. The matter of finding a job still depends on Princess Ning herself."

Ye Xiaozhou raised his head slightly, and found that the eyes of the three were on him, waiting for him to speak. He was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I was born in the countryside, and I didn't like reading very much when I was young. I'm afraid It’s an embarrassing task.”

Jing Ling immediately persuaded: "Concubine Ning, don't underestimate yourself. A person who can be useful may not necessarily study a lot. It is indeed not a trivial matter to find a job in the court. The princess might as well go back to the mansion and think carefully. It is not too late to make a decision after three days. .”

Ye Xiaozhou nodded.

After Jing Min and Ye Xiaozhou left, a smile flowed from the corner of the emperor's lips again, and the empress immediately caught his tiny emotion, and said with a smile: "What's the emperor's happy event?"

"How does the Queen feel about those two people?" Jing Ling asked back.

"According to my concubine, the relationship between the two should be at odds, seemingly in harmony." After all, the queen is the lord of the harem. Although she may not be able to understand the court affairs, this relationship is her strong point. "Concubine I am dull, I can only see that Ye Xiaozhou is not close to King Ning, but it is difficult to say how King Ning treats him."

Jing Ling patted the back of her hand lightly: "Does the queen know? Ye Xiaozhou's father, Ye Hongfang, died on the way to his dispatch at Yinshi [-]:[-] today, and at Yinshi [-]:[-] on the same day, the officer who escorted him and was in charge of feeding him along the way People commit suicide in fear of crime."

He paused slightly at this point, and then continued: "It wasn't my people who did it."

The queen was a little surprised, and raised her eyes to meet the emperor's: "Your Majesty is saying?"

"I have checked that Ye Hongfang has been kind to people all his life. Although he is a rich man, he often helps the poor. His tea house has taken in many displaced victims and has never made enemies." Jing Ling rolled his eyes, "such a person People... but died unexpectedly, it can only be Jing Min's means."

"So when we parted, I stuffed a small gift in the meeting gift you gave Ye Xiaozhou, hoping he would like it."

Although the queen is not involved in court affairs, she still knows who the person next to her bed fears the most in the court.

The emperor originally wanted Jing Min to be an idle prince for the rest of his life, but a few years ago when the Yellow River flooded, the flood control officer sent by the court died in the river. The rest of the court officials were afraid, and only King Ning took the initiative. Asking for Ying, the emperor wondered what he could do as a cripple with both legs disabled. Unexpectedly, he not only relieved the flood, but also won the hearts of the people because of it.

Since then, King Ning has made many meritorious deeds. Such a talent, compared to his mediocre elder brother, is really...

Jing Ling's heart is like a mirror, if it weren't for Jing Min's incomplete limbs, those old things in the court would probably want him to be the emperor even more.But he is his elder brother after all, and with so many courtiers staring at him, he can only suppress Jing Min secretly, and he can't do too much on the surface.

However, if King Ning was married as an adult, he was given a fief and moved away from Luojing. Although he could prevent King Ning from participating in politics once and for all, if the fief was remote, he was afraid that others would call him heartless, but if Feng After entering a prosperous land, he was also afraid that Jing Min would regenerate his troops and rebel when his wings were full.

After all the calculations, it would be safe to tie him here in Luojing.

But now that King Ning is becoming more and more powerful in the court, there are few people who can restrain him. The reason why he chose Ye Xiaozhou...is not without reason.

One is that King Ning really has affection for him, otherwise he would not have asked to marry him; the other is that the Ye family has been in business for generations, except for the unlucky incident of picking up King Ning's mother and son, he has never been involved in politics, and Ye Xiaozhou's background is considered clean The third is that Ye Xiaozhou is not deeply involved in the world, so he is easy to control; the last is the "evidence" he gave Ye Xiaozhou, the revenge of killing his father, and he believes that even if Ye Xiaozhou doesn't believe it all, he will treat Jing Minsheng dissatisfaction.

"Does the queen think that he will be tricked?" Jing Ling asked suddenly.

"My concubine thinks that there is a [-]% to [-]% possibility," the queen smiled, and then said slowly, "Although the Ye family was sent down because of an imperial decree from His Majesty, if he doesn't accept the olive branch thrown by His Majesty, he will die in his life." There is no chance to take revenge on King Ning, and..."

If King Ning hadn't asked him to marry him, the emperor might not have been able to find out about Ye's mansion. Naturally, he would not have known the truth about Concubine Jiang's existence in this world, and Ye Hongfang would not have to suffer such misfortune. Ye Xiaozhou must have figured it out.

Jing Ling picked up a piece of pastry and fed it to the queen's mouth: "My queen is really smart."

At the same time, the carriage that Jing Min and Ye Xiaozhou were riding in was on their way back to the mansion.

Ye Xiaozhou's complexion has returned to normal at this time, but Jing Min can still sense that there is something hidden in his heart. As for what it is, King Ning has the answer in his mind when he was in Jingren Palace.

"Did Jing Ling tell you something?" Jing Min asked suddenly.

Ye Xiaozhou shook his head slightly.

Jing Min smiled, held the folding fan in his hand, and placed it on his unconscious lap one after another: "I guess, he must have told you about Ye Hongfang's death, right?"

"You know?" Ye Xiaozhou stared at him, the corners of his eyes were red, and there was undisguised hatred in his eyes, "You know that my father died in the early hours of this morning, but you still vowed to save him? Jing Min, what did you say? Is there anything else you can believe in?"

"If you really believe what Jing Ling said, according to your temperament, you won't follow me into this carriage so obediently. I'm afraid that before I can speak, you will rush over like last time. , I want to die with this king," Jing Min said calmly, "Since my concubine has waited until now, she must also want to hear an explanation from this king."

Ye Xiaozhou said coldly: "I just don't believe that my father died so quietly."

Jing Min picked up the gift box that was put aside, and then opened it without difficulty, and then found a secret letter among the pile of meeting gifts that the queen rewarded.

He opened the secret letter calmly, glanced at it and threw it to Ye Xiaozhou.

The words in black and white on the top are just a confession that has been drawn.

Ye Xiaozhou read the words correctly, and his breathing gradually became heavy. According to the above, the officers and soldiers who escorted Ye Hongfang and took care of his diet and daily life were just under Jing Min's instructions. It was the poison that made him die violently in the early morning of this morning.

"This person is indeed the spy that the king asked Han Xiuping to place in the team escorting Ye Hongfang." Jing Min did not deny it, and admitted, "He did poison Ye Hongfang's food."

Just when Ye Xiaozhou was about to get up with the idea of ​​burning jade and stone together, Jing Min suddenly said: "But this confession is false. When Ye Hongfang was poisoned, that person committed suicide by taking poison. It is Ye Hongfang's fault." The medicine in Fang's diet was prepared by the king himself, within half an hour after taking it for ordinary people, his seven orifices would bleed, as if he died suddenly from poison, but after three days, he would naturally wake up."

Ye Xiaozhou breathed a sigh of relief, but as if he didn't believe the emperor, he still didn't dare to believe what Jing Min said: "Empty words have no proof, if the prince is lying, I have no way to verify it."

"Whether my concubine believes it or not, this is the king's explanation. The king has ordered people to send Ye Hongfang's 'body' to a hidden villa. After three days, when he wakes up and pretends, he will be able to kiss Jiang. Liu is reunited," Jing Min said coldly, then paused for a while, and said unhappily, "If you are really worried, this king can reluctantly ask him to write a letter to you..."

Before King Ning finished speaking, Ye Xiaozhou interrupted him and said, "Jiang Fuliu is still alive?"

"Of course she is dead," Jing Min said angrily, "Didn't you say that this king is a monster in human skin? How could you be so kind to spare her life?"

This time Ye Xiaozhou finally understood what Jing Min said was ironic. Since Jiang Fuliu was still alive, it is not impossible for Jing Min to protect Ye Hongfang.

King Ning...maybe he is not hopeless.

"Then can I reply to my father's letter?" Ye Xiaozhou asked.

"Let's see how you behave." Jing Min inadvertently met Ye Xiaozhou's hopeful eyes, and his heart softened completely. "Okay, but it's only this time this year. If there are too many, I'm afraid they will expose their whereabouts."
