[Red Mansion] Married by decree

Chapter 16: Prince Teng pleads guilty to King Anshun, and Shi Xiangyun goes to Rongguo Mansion

The first thing Prince Teng did after returning to Beijing was to go to the palace to apologize.When I asked for an audience outside the hall, I was told that the emperor was taking a lunch break at this time.Without saying a word, Wang Ziteng knelt directly outside the hall, as if he was kneeling and waiting for the emperor to wake up to receive him.

"What's wrong, Mr. Wang?"

When Yunze came over, he saw Wang Ziteng kneeling there straight.There was a layer of sweat covering his forehead, and he seemed to have been kneeling for a long time.

"The lower official has seen the prince."

"Why is Lord Wang kneeling outside the hall?"

"Returning to the prince, I recommended Bade to plead guilty. Jia Yucun was originally recommended by Mr. Lin to my brother-in-law. Seeing that he is also a talent, he recommended it to the next official. I never thought, but he is such a corrupt person."

"Master Lin in Wang Da's population is not the one who is the Yangzhou patrol salt censor?"

"My lord will see you."

"It seems that Mr. Wang was the one who was implicated in this matter." After Yun Ze finished speaking, he asked the chief eunuch who had just walked out: "Where's your majesty?"

"If you go back to the prince, the emperor has already woken up and is asking the prince to go in."

After hearing this, Yunze walked directly towards the main hall, and when he was half a step away from the door, he stopped again without looking back: "Master Wang doesn't know yet, my future concubine's surname is Lin."

The words were plain and unremarkable, the tone of voice was the same as before, and even the speed of speech didn't change at all.After Wang Ziteng's back, he was drenched in cold sweat. He seemed to have made a stupid decision.

Sure enough, after Yunze went in for a while, the chief eunuch came out again: "My lord, the emperor asked you to go back first."

"Mr. Ling, please stop." Wang Ziteng said and took out a jade pendant from his body, which was the finest suet jade.Afterwards, it was stuffed in a place where no one could see, but Director Ling didn't refuse, and just put it away: "I hope Director Ling can give me some pointers."

"Recently, the national treasury has increased by more than 200 million taels of silver. For this reason, the emperor also granted the title of Marquis Lin." Wang Ziteng just returned to the mansion, and Aunt Xue came to see him.For Aunt Xue, Wang Ziteng was also a little angry. If it wasn't for what Xue Pan did, how could he be hurt now.

"Brother, you must save Pan'er."

"Hmph, if you hadn't been so conniving, how could Pan'er have the audacity to beat someone to death in the street." Xue Pan had the crime of beating someone to death.Because Xiangling was originally bought by him, in fact, he did not commit the crime of robbing the women.

"Brother, sister will discipline Pan'er strictly in the future, and ask brother to save Pan'er." Aunt Xue didn't know that she doted on her son. This was her only son and she relied on her whole life. How could she not dote on her son.

"Help, I can't protect myself now, how can I save him?" Jia Yucun wrote to Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng when he had dealt with Xue Pan's matter.At that time, Wang Ziteng was preparing to set off to inspect the border, so he didn't reply to the letter, and he didn't do anything either.

When he came back this time, Wang Ziteng originally planned to recommend him to the emperor.If he is reused, this Jia Yucun will also be his network.But he didn't want to, before he recommended him, this matter had already been reported.At the same time, Wang Ziteng also rejoiced that he was lucky. If he really recommended it, he would not be able to pick it up at that time.

"You go back first, brother has to go to Anshun Palace."

Wang Ziteng knew that he had offended Yunze, so he ordered the housekeeper to prepare a gift when he came back.This is not waiting, Aunt Xue came over.

Aunt Xue also knew that there would be no results today, and Wang Ziteng's words gave her a new path - to ask Yunze for help.Naturally, Xue's family can't reach Anshun Palace, but Jia's family can, that is the grandmother's house of the future princess.

After Aunt Xue left, Wang Ziteng went to Anshun Palace in a sedan chair.The sedan chair didn't stop until the east corner gate of Prince Anshun's mansion. The prince got out of the sedan chair, took out his name card, and asked someone to inform Yunze.

Not long after, Zhou Changshi came out, and what he was holding in his hand was Wang Ziteng's invitation.Seeing Zhou Changshi, Wang Ziteng was respectful.

"My lord said I won't see any visitors today."

"Zi Teng came here on a special trip to make amends to the lord, and I hope Zhou Changshi can say something kindly in front of the lord." Wang Ziteng said and stuffed some gold into Zhou Changshi.

"You know the prince's temper. If you don't see any guests, you won't see them. You keep these gifts, and I will help you pass them on to the prince." Zhou Changshi accepted the gold directly, but there was no intention of being accommodating in his words.

"Zi Teng once again thanked Zhou Changshi first, and the prince will have to trouble Zhou Changshi for his help. In the future, Zi Teng will thank you again." Seeing this, Wang Ziteng also knew that Yunze was determined not to see him.

Let's say that Jia's mother took Shi Xiangyun into the mansion, and she learned from her that the two brothers of the Shi family were sent to other provinces to serve as officials.In such a sensitive period, the two brothers transferred out at the same time. Even Jia Mu, who is not sensitive to politics, also noticed the abnormality.

"Young girl Yun hasn't come for a long time, and your sisters miss you. Why don't you stay in the mansion for a little longer this time."

"Okay, I also want to love my brother and sister Bao. The old lady doesn't know. I'm at home, and my aunt forces me to embroider those things every day. I don't know how many times my fingers have been poked by needles. It's better here."

Mother Jia looked at Shi Xiangyun lovingly, and talked for a while.Then she suggested that Shi Xiangyun go to play with Jia Baoyu and the others, and then let Yuanyang send Shi Xiangyun away.As soon as Shi Xiangyun left, the kindness on that face disappeared without a trace, and it was full of gloom.

"Go and invite Marquis Baoling here, and tell the old lady to come to him." Mother Jia thought for a while, and then asked someone to invite Jia Nai.She wanted to see what her two nephews were going to do.

"Old lady, the master historian said that the emperor's order is urgent, so don't delay it. I don't care about coming today. When I come back, I will come to apologize to the old lady."

"It's unreasonable to ignore my aunt."

"Old lady..." There was a commotion in Jia Mu's room, and it was Jia Mu who was so angry that she fainted.

Over there, Shi Xiangyun searched around but couldn't find Baoyu.After asking someone, I found out that Baoyu is now in Baochai's room, comforting Baochai.

"Why is Sister Bao crying like this? Who doesn't have eyes and bullied her?" When Xiangyun came in, Baochai was wiping her tears with a handkerchief.Because I cried so much, I even twitched when I spoke.

"Sister, don't say that...how is...someone bullied me, it's just...it's just that my brother is too disappointing."

"Sister Bao, stop crying and tell Yun'er what happened to Brother Xue."

"My brother, he was taken away by Shuntian Mansion."

"It's unreasonable, how can the Shuntian Mansion arrest people randomly? I've read the drama saying that those yamen always like to arrest good people, but it turns out it's true."

"My brother is also wrong, but my brother is protecting that girl Xiangling. Now even that girl has been taken away by Shuntian Mansion. I heard people say that a place like a prison is the most uninhabitable place. My brother, But how can I bear it?" Baochai cried even more fiercely as she said.

"Sister Bao, don't worry, if we go and ask the old lady, the old lady will definitely have a solution." "My family is already causing trouble for the old lady by living here, and I don't want to trouble the old lady anymore." Baochai wiped her face again. Wiping her tears, she continued: "My mother has already gone to look for my uncle, but my uncle wrote a letter saying that he had only arrived in the capital in the past few days, but he didn't know the exact date. If my uncle came back late, I was afraid that my brother would not be able to stand the prison. Life."

"It's a pity that my uncle and the others have also transferred out of Beijing, otherwise I can ask my uncle for help." After all, Shi Xiangyun changed what he was about to blurt out: "By the way, brother love said that one of them was given a marriage to Prince Anshun Miss Lin, why don't we go and beg her. She is the future princess, and she must have a way to rescue brother Xue."

"But sister Lin is not in the capital right now, so even if we ask her for help, it's too late."

"How about that?"

"Why don't we go and beg the Prince of Beijing, the last time we met, he even gave me a string of beads." When Jing Baochai and Xiangyun said this, Baoyu thought of the kind-hearted King of Beijing, looked at It's easy to talk about.
