When the sugar baby saw that his little brother had returned to his normal self, he started to do business.
"Brother, this list is for you!"
Sugar Baby took out a piece of paper from the all-purpose bag.
"List?" Xuanyuan Jin reached out and took it.
And, he casually gave the phoenix hairpin to Tangbao.
The sugar baby lowered his head and stuffed the phoenix hairpin into the small bag.
Xuanyuan Jin did not look at the list in a hurry, but looked at Tangbao's movements, his eyelids twitching.
The nine baby phoenix hairpins are heavy, especially the nine tail feathers, which are dazzling and even bigger than a sugar baby's small bag.
However, like a magic trick, Tangbao just stuffed the phoenix hairpin in.
Tangbao explained while stuffing the phoenix hairpin: "This list is the list of the female family members who petitioned Princess Rong and her daughter today. These people who dare to plead in front of the Queen Mother must have a close relationship with Prince Rong's palace."
After Xuanyuan Jin heard this, his black eyes narrowed slightly.
His eyes fell on the long list of official titles, and his expression became colder and colder.
Slowly, the corner of his mouth curved into a sarcastic arc.
"It seems that my father may have underestimated Prince Rong!" Xuanyuan Jin said coldly.
After saying that, he put the list in his arms, stretched out his hand to rub Tangbao's hair, and carefully put the beaded flower on Tangbao's head straight.
Immediately, the tone became casual.
"Zheng Shoufu's wife was the first to plead for mercy. She must be very supportive of the marriage with Prince Rong's Mansion..."
The sugar baby opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Because she also felt that Zheng Shoufu's wife liked Xuanyuan Hui, her future daughter-in-law, very much.
Although it is said that sisters are both prosperous and devastated, the Empress Dowager's reprimanding of Xuanyuan Min did not affect the status of Xuanyuan Hui in the heart of Mrs. Zheng Shoufu.
At this time, in the flower room, the imperial concubine looked at her brother with a cold face and said, "Please call off the marriage to Prince Rong's Mansion!"
"Your Majesty, why is this?" Zheng Shoufu looked puzzled.
The two families are just waiting for a decision to be made. It would be unreasonable to cancel the engagement now!
Not only that, but he also completely offended Prince Rong's Mansion.
The imperial concubine looked at a clump of extremely beautiful peonies in bloom and said worriedly: "The Zheng family is now in full bloom. I am in charge of the Sixth Palace in the palace, and my brother is in charge of the court. There is no need to add more flowers, otherwise, the fire will burn."
Cooking oil is just a thought of the emperor..."
Zheng Shoufu was horrified.
"Empress, could it be the Emperor..."
The imperial concubine shook her head and said: "Today the Queen Mother intends to beat up Princess Rong and her daughter, kill chickens and scare monkeys, who would have guessed my sister-in-law, Princess Qingping County, Mrs. Yongning Hou, Mrs. Li Gelao, Zhang Hanlin's..."
The imperial concubine named a long list of people.
There are also official titles and titles attached in front.
"These people can't wait to stand up and plead for Princess Rong and her daughter. It's terrifying to think about this matter. What do you think, brother?"
After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she looked at Zheng Shoufu quietly.
Zheng Shoufu's expression changed.
He can occupy the position of chief assistant, so he is not stupid.
Otherwise, because of King Cheng'en's incident, he would not have figured out some inside information and stopped thinking about having a prince's nephew.
Now that I heard what the imperial concubine said, I naturally became more and more frightened as I thought about it.
Not to mention, it was only a few years ago that King Rui intended to rebel.
Just because Prince Rong is a member of the royal family and has a sensitive status, he should avoid suspicion in his family.
How could I have ignored this?
Zheng Shoufu secretly regretted it.
Prince Rong is a military commander and he is a civil servant. If the two families marry, won't this cause the emperor to be suspicious for no reason?
What's more, such a trivial matter triggered so many officials and family members to plead for mercy.
When did Prince Rong become friends with so many ministers?
What on earth is he going to do?
Zheng Shoufu suddenly thought of King Xiaoyao again.
As far as he knew, although King Xiaoyao announced that he had handed over military power, the emperor did not take back the tiger talisman in King Xiaoyao's hand because he had won the trust of the emperor.
Today, King Xiaoyao's legitimate daughter is the crown prince of Prince Rong's Mansion...
Zheng Shoufu was so excited that he broke into a cold sweat.
"What the empress said is absolutely true." Zheng Shoufu said in shock, "I didn't consider this marriage properly and was too hasty."
The imperial concubine saw that her brother understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded.
"Brother, please remember that the Zheng family is only a pure minister. With my brother and I protecting you, Zi Qian is also a promising child. This will definitely ensure the prosperity of the Zheng family for hundreds of years. As for the rest..."
The imperial concubine shook her head.
After all, it was not made clear that the niece wanted to marry the third prince, and I was afraid that it would be a mirror image.
The imperial concubine knew that both her brother and sister-in-law hoped that her niece would marry the third prince.
The third prince is the emperor's only legitimate son and the best candidate for the crown prince.
With Xuanyuan Jin returning to the palace, the imperial concubine never doubted that the emperor would make Xuanyuan Jin the crown prince in the future.
Presumably, her brother and sister-in-law also understand this.
Therefore, it is not easy for the imperial concubine to throw cold water on the wishes of her brother and sister-in-law.
Zheng Shoufu heard the imperial concubine's unfinished thoughts, but did not express his position.
The third prince has reached the age of marriage proposal and is about the same age as his daughter.
Whenever possible, he hoped that his daughter could marry the third prince.
Even if she is a concubine of the prince, after the third prince ascends the throne in the future, her daughter will at least be able to be ranked as the fourth concubine.
In this way, you can help your son.
Just like myself and my sister, we support each other and keep the Zheng family prosperous.
When the imperial concubine saw that her brother was silent, she could not say anything more and waved her hand for Zheng Shoufu to leave.
Zheng Shoufu left the flower room, thinking about what excuse he should use to get rid of the marriage without offending Prince Rong's palace...
"father."
Zheng Ziqian had been waiting outside the flower house. When he saw his father coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
Zheng Shoufu glanced at his son and nodded casually, still thinking about breaking off the engagement.
"Dad, what did my aunt say to you?" Zheng Ziqian asked.
"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you." Zheng Shoufu said absently.
Zheng Ziqian looked at Zheng Shoufu, opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Finally, thinking of Princess Linghua holding the little white fox and showing off everywhere, she suddenly said: "Dad, my son has also learned riding and shooting. Today, both Su Zhuangyuan and Zhao Tanhua went into the woods to hunt. It's not as good as tomorrow."
My son also went to try his skills..."
After hearing what his son said, Zheng Shoufu instinctively wanted to refuse.
"No! Have you forgotten how your cousin broke his leg? You..."
When Zheng Shoufu said this, he suddenly paused.
It is said that Zheng Ziming, Zheng Shoufu's nephew, accidentally broke his leg while riding a horse and hunting last year. He became disabled and became a lame.
The marriage originally planned was ruined because of this.
The consequence of this incident was that the old lady of the Zheng family no longer allowed her grandchildren to ride horses and hunt.
Zheng Shoufu's heart moved.
If you want to preserve the reputation of the Zheng family, avoid offending Prince Rong's palace, and cancel the marriage smoothly, you will have to let your son suffer some hardships.
However, as long as the arrangements are made properly, it will be worth the pain for my son.
Chief Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Tomorrow you take a few guards and go hunting together in the paddock!"
When Zheng Ziqian heard this, he was overjoyed.
"Thank you, dad!" Zheng Ziqian said happily.
I secretly hope that if I am so lucky, I can also pick up a little fox...
Zheng Ziqian didn't know that he had suffered a lot since he didn't pick up the little fox.
In this compartment, Princess Mingli found the sugar baby and asked excitedly: "How is it? How about going hunting with me tomorrow?"
Tangbao thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible..."
