Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[62]

Zhou Jin hopped his feet angrily, and pointed at the old housekeeper "you you you" for a long time, unable to utter a word.

The old butler took note of Zhou Jinyu's reaction to the letter. Although he was curious about what was written in the letter, he didn't ask any more questions. He respectfully bowed to Zhou Jinyu and went back to the Princess Mansion to report.

Wei Huanian got up early in the morning and called Wei Jingrui to come over to eat, while Wan Qiu waited on him.

Because Wei Jingrui ate too much in Wangfulou yesterday, Wei Huanian didn't eat a few mouthfuls, but Wei Huanian blackened his face and threatened him to eat the few mouthfuls.

The old butler entered the room and saluted Wei Huanian: "Master, the villain is back."

Wei Huanian didn't ask him, but just picked up a small wooden spoon, scooped up half a spoonful of soup and fed it to Wei Jingrui's mouth. Wei Jingrui's small mouth was pouted slightly, and he leaned back, refusing to drink.

Wei Huanian frowned, and was about to get angry when the old butler said in a timely manner: "Master, the villain has just delivered the letter to Mr. Zhou."

Wei Huanian put the small wooden spoon back into the small bowl and asked, "How do you say it?"

The old housekeeper couldn't figure out what Wei Huanian meant, so he bluntly reported: "Mr. Zhou jumped his feet angrily, and kept saying the four words 'Chenghe Detong'. Later, he didn't even say hello to the villain, so he returned. in the mansion."

Wei Huanian asked him with a smile, "What else did she say?"

The old butler recalled it carefully, as if he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up and said: "Mr. Zhou also said that 'the world is bad, people's hearts are not ancient', and... oh, there are also things like 'I would rather die than follow'. Yes, the little people can't understand what she muttered."

Wei Huanian narrowed his phoenix eyes, and then said: "Okay, you step back, and come to me at noon to get a letter, and then send it to her."

The butler was taken aback: "Master, do you still want to write a letter to Master Zhou?"

Wei Huanian said with a smile: "Since she believes in her heart that Ben Gong is a frivolous person, then Ben Gong will show her frivolity."

Wan Qiu was startled, and asked: "Master, what are you going to do?"

Wei Huanian said with a smile: "She has read too many stories, and thought that I want to take it by force, so I will accompany her in this play. Anyway, I have a lot of free time recently, so I want to have some fun, don't I?"

Wan Qiu laughed, and she suddenly understood Wei Huanian's meaning: "Master, are you saying that this week, Young Master Zhou is your pleasure?"

Wei Huanian gave Wan Qiu an angry look, and said, "She is a fool."

At noon, Wei Huanian wrote another letter to Zhou Jinyu, this time it only took a while to finish it, and then sealed it for the old housekeeper to deliver to Zhou Jinyu.

The old butler received the letter and was about to leave when he heard Wei Huanian say, "Go look for that New Year picture in the storeroom. I remember that the only one in the storeroom that hasn't been demolished is the one with the red koi fish on it. You put Give her the letter and the painting."

The old butler hurriedly bowed and replied: "Yes, the villain knows."

Wei Huanian was about to enter the palace after explaining, and just now Empress Changsun sent a letter, saying that she wanted her to enter the palace, and we have important matters to discuss.

Wei Huanian and Wan Qiu got into the carriage, and the carriage traveled southward, made a turn around South Street, and went straight north through Zhuque Street.

Zhuque Avenue is the most prosperous street in Chang'an City. People who live here are either princes or nobles, or high-ranking officials, especially the old minister Meng Changru and the great general Han Baoxin. The house was given, and it was endowed with a noble family, a noble family, and grace, so that others would not envy it.

The carriage first passed Meng Xiangye's mansion, and looking from the outside, there were two gatekeepers who seemed to be standing upright, but they were actually chatting and laughing with the little maid who was cleaning in front of the mansion.

As the number one dignitary of the dynasty, Han Baoxin's mansion is naturally closer to the palace. The house on the third house on Zhuque Street is unoccupied.After all, General Han's house is in the third place, so no one would dare to fight for the first and second place.

When passing by the gate of Han Fengxin's mansion, the carriages in front of the mansion almost occupied the road, Wei Huanian looked over from the gap in the curtain of the carriage, Han Fengxin's son-in-law, who is now the Minister of the Household Department Feng Boyang, was at the gate of the mansion He greeted all the courtiers who came to visit.

Wei Huanian still has some impressions of Feng Boyang. Feng Boyang was the No. [-] scholar in the fourth year of Yuan Zhe. After winning the No. [-] prize, he was favored by Han Fengxin and married his eldest daughter Han Yingying. Han Fengxin's son-in-law, Chenglong Kuai, envied many people, and he was promoted all the way by Han Fengxin. In addition, he was very tactful and sophisticated, and soon entered the household department as a servant.

Later, in the war with the Turks, Feng Boyang was rewarded by the emperor himself for his meritorious service in escorting grain and grass, and he became the youngest second-rank minister in this dynasty.

And Feng Weizhi is the only son born to him and Han Yingying.

"My lords, I am here on behalf of my father-in-law to thank you all. My father-in-law is ill and cannot come out to see your lords in person. I appreciate the kindness of your lords. Please come back."

"Master Feng! Let's meet General Han."

"Yes, Master Feng, how is General Han? I'm very worried."

"General Han is the pillar of our dynasty, he can't have any accidents."

The words outside the car reached Wei Huanian's ears one after another. Those people were all part of the Han family. They came to visit because they saw that Han's letter had not come to court for many days.

Even if Wei Huanian didn't read the news sent back by the spies, he could probably guess some of it. Originally, the Han Party headed by Han Tixin and the Meng Party headed by Prime Minister Meng Changru had always been at odds with each other. Now Han Tixin Bedridden, that caused the current situation of one-sided court.

In this way, even Emperor Tianshun decided not to agree. After all, the situation in the court that he had balanced for a long time suddenly fell to one side. He must be very anxious at this time. If the Confucian scholars said, he would not be happy either.

With Emperor Tianshun's usual behavior, the only way he would choose is to support a newcomer in the Korean party, but Han Fengxin originally had a high reputation in the Korean party, and most of those who attached to him were willing to support him. He was going to die, and now the battle was imminent. Since Emperor Tianshun had ordered Han Baoxin to go out, he would not easily change generals before the battle unless he had to.

In this way, it would be impossible for Emperor Tianshun to slowly pick a newcomer from the Han party to fight against Meng Xiangye. Since Han Tengxin is not dead yet, Emperor Shun will wait until Han Tunxin dies.

After Wei Huanian figured this out, the carriage had bypassed the passing vehicles in front of Han Tixin's door, and drove forward rapidly.

Wei Huanian entered the palace of Empress Changsun, and Aunt Liusu was leading the sixth prince Wei Tianlin out of the palace gate.

Wei Tianlin looked at Wei Huanian, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly called out, "Sister Huang!"

Aunt Liusu followed suit and saluted: "Princess, you are here."

Wei Huayou nodded and asked, "Where are you going?"

Aunt Liusu said: "Send the sixth prince to the martial arts arena, and we have to leave again after lunch, I'm afraid that our sixth prince will be whipped if we go late."

Wei Huanian looked at Wei Tianlin with a smile, and waved to him: "Tianlin."

When Wei Tianlin saw Wei Huanian, he naturally got close to him, and instinctively wanted to throw himself into Wei Huanian's arms like he did when he was a child.But he didn't know what suddenly came to his mind, he just stood there and saluted, with a well-mannered and somewhat restrained manner: "My brother pays homage to the eldest sister Huang, has the eldest sister been well?"

But the eyes are bright, but the eyes can't deceive anyone.

Wei Huanian patted his head, compared his size, and said with a smile, "Everything is fine, but you have grown taller."

Wei Tianlin smiled with two small canine teeth: "My brother is busy learning horseback riding and archery recently, so naturally he eats more and grows faster." He suddenly asked aggrievedly: "Sister Huang, how is Jing Rui? Last time you said you would bring him to play with me, but you never kept it, making me miss him and never being able to see him again, how will Sister Huang plan to compensate me?"

Wei Huanian smiled and coaxed: "When I come into the palace next time, let him come to see you."

Wei Tianlin laughed: "Elder Sister Huang has to say what she wants!"

Wei Huanian only said: "Follow the numbers, let's go, don't really be late."

Wei Tianlin responded, seeming to be happy, and jumped out of the hall. Aunt Liusu saluted Wei Huanian in a hurry, and immediately followed out.

Wei Huanian entered the inner hall of Fengqi Palace, and Empress Changsun was repairing the flower branches in the bonsai. She was cutting with scissors in her hands so intently that even Wei Huanian did not listen when he entered.

Until the little maidservant behind her saluted Wei Huanian: "My maidservant greets the eldest princess."

Empress Changsun turned her head after hearing the movement, only then saw that Wei Huanian was already standing in front of her.

Wei Huanian bowed lightly, and bowed down: "My son, please greet the queen mother."

Empress Changsun hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, sit down with your mother and talk."

Wei Huanian obediently sat on the guest chair with Empress Changsun, the little maid brought a few small plates of snacks and served tea, Empress Changsun waved her hand, and all the servants in the room withdrew.

Wei Huanian didn't ask her why she called him here suddenly, she just waited with her head down, waiting for Empress Changsun to speak first.

Empress Changsun hesitated to speak, she paused for a while, and then said: "Today, His Majesty said that he wants to adopt the ninth princess to this Palace."

Wei Huanian was startled, and asked, "Is it the meaning of the father, or the meaning of Zichen Palace?"

Empress Changsun said firmly: "Of course it was Zhao Zhen's intention, why would your father care about these things?"

Wei Huayou nodded his head.

The nine princesses, named Wei Yun'er, were born to Zhao Zhen, the noble concubine of Emperor Tianshun.

But Imperial Concubine Chen has always been at odds with the Empress, so how could she be willing to send her own daughter to her opponent?

Wei Huanian couldn't figure out the problem for a while, but Empress Changsun was a little flustered: "Yuan Zhao, if Princess Nine is sent to my palace, if something happens to her, Zichen Palace will definitely push all of them to me." Here, your royal father suddenly came to my palace last night, unexpectedly it was for this matter, so I just waited for my nod, but since your royal father personally spoke to me, I can't refuse."

Wei Huanian thought for a while, and suddenly a person came to mind: "Mother, please don't worry, this matter is not without a chance."

Empress Changsun asked, "What can you do?"

Wei Huanian didn't say it bluntly, but said: "Mother, you hold on to Emperor Father for two days, and this matter will naturally be resolved after two days."

Empress Changsun asked doubtfully, "Two days?"

Wei Huanian nodded, she remained calm as always, and Empress Changsun naturally felt relieved.

Wei Huanian left the Palace of the Empress Changsun and headed straight for the Taxing Tower.

The Tower of Stepping Stars was built by His Majesty today for Yuan Tianfang, the national teacher of the current dynasty, so that he can watch the stars at night and pray for God's blessing for the Great Jin Dynasty.

There are nine floors in the Taxing Tower. If you climb up to a high place at night, you can look at the sky full of stars, so Emperor Tianshun personally named it Taxing Tower.

This is the second time Wei Huanian has walked here, just because Yuan Tianfang said that if one day she asks for something, he will definitely answer it.

Wei Huanian followed the little boy up to the nine-story tower, and Yuan Tianfang, dressed in white, was standing at the window, facing the gust of wind. Looking at the entire Chang'an city, the white clothes fluttered like a fairy in the world.

He seemed to have eyes behind him, and he had already sensed that Wei Huanian was coming, so he turned his head in a timely manner, looked at Wei Huanian and smiled: "Princess, long time no see."

Wei Huanian nodded: "The national teacher is polite."

The corner of Yuan Tianfang's mouth twitched into a gentle smile, and said: "I already know the intention of the princess's visit, and I will definitely help the empress through this calamity as the princess wishes."

Hearing this, Wei Huanian looked as usual and said: "The national teacher is really good at predicting things. You already know everything before I explain why I came."

Yuan Tianfang pinched his fingers and said: "This minister knows more than that, it's all God's will, it's inconvenient to tell the princess."

Wei Huanian said: "Of course I don't dare to spy on the secrets of heaven. Since the national teacher has already agreed, then I owe you a favor."

Just as Wei Huanian was about to leave, Yuan Tian said eagerly behind her: "Don't say you owe me any favors, you know very well, I will never refuse you."

The little boy who led Wei Huanian up was a little surprised. His master is a man like a god, and he definitely wouldn't lose his composure like this. What's wrong with his master?

Wei Huanian paused, but without turning his head, he left Zhaixing Tower.

"Fourth son, you should eat something. You have been angry for more than half an hour since you received the New Year picture from the eldest princess."

The more Zhou Jinyu thought about it, the more angry he kicked over the chair under his feet: "Damn! That eldest princess is not a good person! Look at what she sent me!"

Zhou Xiaoshan unfolded the New Year picture that Zhou Jinyu had thrown on the ground: "There are fish every year."

Zhou Jinyu: "Damn! Is there something wrong with her? Who will have sex with her every year!"
