"Ever since Xiao Si came, His Majesty hasn't set foot in this courtyard!" Xiao said, not caring.
Mrs. Dingnan Marquis carefully look at her, can not help but frown, Xiao family Miss has always been very intelligent, now this kind of disregard for the tone of the whining woman is not like her style. Although the heart does not want to care, but after all, Dingnan Marquis family and Rui Wang has been a rope on the grasshopper, if this Missy lost power, even if the future Jing Chen ascension to the throne, they do not have half a point of benefit. Thinking about this can not help but cold face: "All this is not your own creation."
Xiao sniffed and coldly glared at her stepmother, "If mother has nothing to do, go back, I'm tired."
"The master you said, has already hanged himself in Biyun Temple." Mrs. Dingnan Marquis clenched the handkerchief, trying to hold back a breath as calm as possible.
"What?" Xiao's eyes widened.
"That Mo Pei usually not less in the public vassal family cheating food and drink, but you are the most believe her, now Xiao Si is gone, must be afraid of the king's blame to fear the crime of suicide," Dingnan Marquis wife took a deep breath and said, "I know that you can not listen to my words, I only persuade you a sentence, even though you are the king of the Rui Wang Fei, without the respect of the king, you're nothing! I only advise you one thing, even though you are the rightful consort of King Rui, without his majesty's respect, you are nothing!" After saying that, also do not look at the face of Rui Wangfei, get up and leave.
On the way back, Mrs. Dingnan Marquis is still angry, she herself is a concubine, because the former Dingnan Marquis wife is her first sister, only to be able to join the family of the public as a filler, has always been most disliked by those who do not move to blame the bad luck to the head of the common people's sons and daughters of the mother of the first mother.
"Madam, the princess is like this, if it is cold to His Highness King Rui's heart, how can it be good?" The maid beside her saw the madam angry, then followed to count down the Rui Wangfei.
"If she still has a trace of sense, should hurry to the other yard in the common people's son to take back to the side to raise." Mrs. Dingnan Hou said two sentences, out of breath will no longer say more, just the heart sneer, her sister taught out of the daughter, tube house is two, but treat the common people's son is estimated to be the same attitude.
Jing Shao with his own Wangfei back to the royal residence, the carriage stopped, the person in his arms has been asleep, the driver lifted the curtain, the sun shines in, long eyelashes cast two dark shadows. Toward the crowd made a silent gesture, Jing Shao picked up the person in his arms, carefully got off the carriage.
The weather has been very hot, despite the car laid jade mat, the two lean together or a sweat. Jing Shao is not very concerned, but now sleep in the house for fear that he is hot, put the person on the porch on the soft collapse.
Just touching the soft collapse, Mu Hanzhang woke up, slowly opened his eyes.
"Sleep a little longer, and then call you when it's time for lunch." Jing Shao took the wet cloth towel handed over by the maid and wiped his face, seeing that the person on the couch opened his eyes, so he wiped his face for him as well.
Cool cloth towel wipe face sticky, blowing the corridor of the Xi Xi breeze, very comfortable, Mu Hanyang can not help but squinted his eyes, heart JingShao this WenYuanMarquis wife do more and more decent, but this did not dare to say, after all, the waist is still sore now.
Jing Shao saw the smile in his own princess' eyes, unknown, reached out to undo his sash.
"What are you doing?" Mu Hanzhang was busy catching his hand reaching for his waist, thinking that he hadn't said anything out loud, so why did this person start to move his hand?
"Wearing such a thick court dress is not hot?" Jing Shao saw his slightly red face, his heart moved, slowly came over, "What are you thinking? Uh?"
Mu Hanzhang looked at the handsome face near at hand, glared at him: "is quite hot, I change." Said to get up, but by the body of the person dead pressure can not move.
"You're tired, I'll change it for you." Jing Shao grinned and said, since the dismantling of a court dress, he for this complicated Wen Yuan Hou court dress is love, especially like hands one by one to dismantle the process.
"No, not ......" here is the East Court of the main house under the porch, at any time there will be subordinates over, Mu Hanyang a anxious, blurted out, "you really Wen Yuan Marquis wife when addicted?"
Jing Shao instantly stopped the action in his hands, his eyes gradually became dangerous, his tone calmly said, "Junqing, what did you say?"
"No, nothing," Mu Hanzhang froze, realized what words he said, subconsciously stepped backward, "There is something I forgot to tell you, today the great prince ...... ah... ..."
Jing Shao quickly caught those two hands trying to push him, will be two wrists clenched together, pressed over the head: "It seems that we have to re-establish today, who is a husband and who is a wife?" Said, put the other hand to the mouth of the breath, laughing and exploring to the body under the person's itchy flesh.
"ah ...... hahaha ...... don't ...... well ...... "Mu Hanyang struggled but, miserable by the King of Cheng moved the self-reliance of the family law.
East Garden is in front of the main room is a small garden, layer after layer planted some bamboo short wood, come to send tea Miaoxi just stepped through the moon door, heard the Princess of the gasping sound, immediately stopped in his tracks. The bamboo is not really see, only vaguely see the king pressed on the body of the princess ...... little girl immediately red face, the king this also, this is too much of a Mengwang. Tea does not dare to send again, stomped his feet and turned to run away.
Tossed half a day, the two have made a sweat, Jing Shao simply lying on the body of his own consort does not move, exquisite court dress has been ripped open, revealing a piece of glistening chest, above also seeped out a layer of crystal thin sweat.
Mu Hanyang gasped for a moment, pushed the big head affixed to the chest, that head?
Sapporo oyster colander screen ship Huai? The first two inches, then spontaneously moved back two inches, can not help but rolled his eyes, but today's big prince's behavior or have to say a word to Jing Shao: "Today, my brother mentioned to set up a port to try, the big prince even did not oppose, and the words are all want to let me."
Although this is the beginning of the plan, he also wanted to personally port, familiar with the business doorway. The sea business is he has always wanted to get involved in, but the court does not recognize the sea business, whether as the Princess of Cheng or the Marquis of Wen Yuan, can not be involved in it, even if it is not as bad as the sale of salt, but also will be criticized.
Jing Shao two eyes are staring at the side of a small pink beans, that around the skin and his last night gnawed out of the red marks, looking very tempting: "He naturally will not be so kind, it is thought that you hurriedly dispatched, I'm also trapped in the house do not know anything."
"I don't think it's that simple, will they do something about the harbor?" Mu Hanyang frowned, always felt that after the return of the Grand Prince from Dianzang, than before a lot of gloomy.
"Don't worry, do what you want to do, no one can move you with me." Jing Shao said and moved forward, like a big dog that sees meat but is too lazy to stand up, trying to stick out his tongue, licked a bite on the small bean that is still a little red and swollen.
Jiangnan has not come what good news, the fourth prince to Jiangnan will be all the military power to their own hands, and not allowed to follow the Jiangnan soldiers on the battlefield, the reason is afraid that the soldiers do not know who to listen to. Lu Zhanpeng is also happy to leisure, holding his arm on the sidelines to watch the fun, since he did not go to war, naturally do not have to write a war report to the emperor.
Emperor Hongzheng looked at the report that Jing Yu sent back and couldn't help but frown, it only said that the king of Huainan was shrinking in the city tower and didn't dare to come out to answer the battle, there is no progress yet.
In fact, the fourth prince is not doing well at all, the king of Huainan is in the city tower, but his generals are under the city tower! Every day, send a general out, like a joke, cracking and snapping a hit on the run, and so he chased, greeted him either a tripwire or rivets and spikes, straight to the point that he was very annoyed.
At this time, the Beiwei Marquis residence, is ushered in the Beiwei Marquis young son's full moon feast.
Jing Shao is very want to see just a month of brother-in-law, because I heard with Mu Huanzhang childhood look very much like, but last time because of the Rui Wangfu Xiaosi abortive ran out once, this time the North Marquis House is full of the capital in the rich and powerful, is still in confinement in the King of the Cheng can not be, no matter how.
Marquis Bei Wei was full of honor as he spoke with the guests, receiving compliments, real or fake. Mu Hanzhang said hello to his father, and went to the inner house to visit his mother and brother, who had just gotten out of the womb.
"Scale is good, you'll see your brother in a while." Qiu was wearing a soft dress, sitting on the bed, teasing her young son in her arms, her slightly chubby face looked shiny and red, a pair of eyes similar to Mu Hanzhang's were full of love.
Mu Han Zhang looked at the quiet and beautiful picture in front of him, also could not help but hook his lips, came to the bedside to see his brother.
Mu long scale has faded the red of the newborn, wrinkled little face also unfolded, white and tender all of a sudden delightful, quiet and do not cry, a pair of big eyes turning, see Mu Hanyang is very curious, staring at him can not stop looking at.
"Scale child, this is elder brother, quickly call elder brother." Qiu smiled and hugged the child towards Mu Hanzhang.
"Mother, it's only been a full moon, how can you call someone?" Mu Hanzhang was amused by her mother's behavior.
"Teach him earlier will be able to speak earlier, when you are seven months will speak," Qiu said, gradually convergence of the smile, Hanyang can not be raised in her side when he was a child, can only be every few days to see, rather than like scales like this can be hugged in the arms, can not help but sighed, and turned to say, "I heard that the Rui Wangfei will live in the other courtyard of the concubine son and Wang Ji and took back."
"Mother how always worry about the Rui Wang House?" Mu Hanzhang some funny, the North Marquis of Wei can not worry over, mother is always concerned about other people's homes, these internal matters he has not cared about for a long time.
"Rui Wangfei can open up some is always good," Qiu sighed, "even if the Prince and Rui Wang brother affection again, can not help small mistakes small grudges pile up, you more persuade the Prince, and elder brother openly talk, do not have any misunderstanding."
Mu Han Zhang looked at his mother with some surprise, just based on the rumors of the women who added oil and vinegar, can be deduced so accurately, it seems that their own approach is right. Biyun Temple thing he did not let Jing Shao check again, is afraid of which there is what conspiracy, interfere in the fall into the sludge pool. Jing Chen than Jing Shao city much deeper, this kind of person is often easy to think more, so the best way is straightforward and unapologetic, in order to let their brothers less contradictions between them.
From the north marquis house out, deal with those relatives all day long, mu hanzhang feel very tired, leave the inner house of those bad things for a long time, now listen again is really some upset. And the simple and clean Cheng Wang Fu, is really let a person feel at ease home. Thinking about this, in the carriage into see again secretly come to pick up his own prince, can not help but award him a light kiss.
The matter of the maritime port has finally been finalized, the statutes of the various ministries have been drawn up, and the courtiers have no objections to the temporary opening of a port. After the morning court, Emperor Hongzheng called Mu Hanzhang to the imperial study.
"I am willing to go." Mu Hanzhang said with certainty.
"Then where do you think is the right place to open this harbor?" Emperor Hongzheng asked as he looked at Qianshan's mountain and river map.
"I thought to open in Jiangnan for good," Mu Hanzhang drooped eyes, not waiting for Hongzheng emperor asked then said, "one of the southeast area has just withdrawn from the feudal and not stable, and then the Jiangnan abundance of goods, those who can buy and sell on the spot, save them in the big Chen stayed for too long to get into trouble. "
Hongzheng emperor turned around, quietly looked at him for a long time, from the sleeve scooped out an oracle to Mu Huanzhang: "I have been arranged, you will move some days on the Heron Island it."
Mu Hanzhang received the bright yellow cover of the oracle, kneeling down to receive the decree.
"Heron Island?" Jing Shao looked at his father's oracle, Heron Island is not a state, but a place name, not far from Pingjiang City, because it is a big river into the sea, where there is a sandbar often egrets, so called Heron Island.
"Father let me leave in a few days, how to do?" Mu Huan Zhang looked at Jing Shao, originally thought that this matter still need some time, who knows Hongzheng emperor than he is more anxious, now Jing Shao is still grounded, they are not going to be separated?
Jing Shao obviously also thought of this point, gradually frowned, heart Gu Huaiqing in the end what to do for food, so long ago how not to Jing Yu beat crying run back?
The next morning, Emperor Hongzheng announced the appointment of Marquis Wen Yuan as a special envoy to Heron Island to arrange commercial matters. Marquis Wen Yuan has been responsible for the tributes of the foreign countries, and the sea business is also his suggestion, now send him is not wrong.
Mu Hanzhang was secretly anxious, and when he saw the flickering light in the eyes of the Grand Prince, a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Jing Chen also secretly frowned, this time the big prince they even do not go out to obstruct, let brother-in-law a person before always feel that something will happen.
"Report--" At this moment, a loud and clear sound of notification came from outside the temple, "Eight hundred miles of emergency!"
Hongzheng Emperor immediately let people hand over, this is a Jiangnan general army handed up eight hundred miles of urgent, above the language is simple and plain, said only one thing, that is, the king of Huainan took the initiative to send troops, defeated the four emperor's army, and now has been broken two cities, looking to attack the city of Pingjiang!
"Asshole!" Emperor Hongzheng was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Courtiers look at each other, the fourth prince attacked Huainan more than a month, did not capture a city even if, in turn, even lost two cities, is really ......
"Your Majesty, Jiangnan is only 800 miles away from the stables, once Pingjiang is broken, the stables are in danger!" The Secretary of the Ministry of War said loudly with his usual loud voice.
After the Pingjiang River, along the canal upward, a flat river straight to the stable hinterland, which is the successive dynasties of Chen dynasty emperor fear of the king of Huainan, as if at any time hanging in the throat of the knife, so that people do not want to pull it out all the time.
"The fourth prince's war report never mentioned these, perhaps the Jiangnan general is exaggerating?" Duke Maoguo held back the horror in his heart and said as calmly as possible.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, we can't let the King of Huainan break through Pingjiang!" Marquis Dingnan had guarded Pingjiang City when he was young, naturally he knew the advantages and disadvantages of this, and said earnestly.
"Father, my son thinks that we can't think of anything else now, we have to send King Cheng out to fight the war!" Jing Chen came out and said in a deep voice.
There is a moment of silence in the courtroom, the so-called "other", everyone knows, what exercise young prince, what grounding order, now can not care.
"I also believe that King Cheng should be sent on the expedition!" The Minister of War said aloud.
"I second the motion!"
"I second the motion!"
