Chapter 340 The woman in the palace sings the double reed
Zheng Qingyun, who had been named the county king, stood at the door of the mansion as always, leaning on the door frame, standing on tiptoes from time to time, looking towards the street, like a young woman watching her husband return.
After waiting for a long time, a group of people finally appeared at the street corner. Zheng Qingyun's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she quickly walked towards them with small steps.
"Sister, you are finally back."
Zheng Qingyun looked extremely excited when he saw Zhu Lian, who was closely protected by Chang Fu and the palace servants.
"Sister, it's great that you're okay. I thought I would never see you again..."
"Have the members of the Cai faction made things difficult for my sister?"
Zhu Lian, who had experienced a thrilling experience, smiled and shook his head. Now that the crisis has passed, there is no need to worry Zheng Qingyun anymore.
Chang Fu, who escorted Zhu Lian throughout the whole process, clenched his fists in excitement and said excitedly: "Concubine! You have not seen the scene when the prince came to the palace. The king's power shocked the whole audience, and even the civil and military officials of the whole court were shocked.
Call the prince..."
"When the dragon son is angry, he travels thousands of miles to kill the thieves and bandits and wipe out all the evil traitors."
"In the past, the officials in the DPRK criticized the prince's violence. Now, the prince's violence has become an evil force worshiped by countless people. It can also scare thieves and bandits!"
"Even...even that stubborn donkey Zhou Pu did not impeach the prince for the first time today."
"This means that even the Ministry of Rites acquiesces to the prince's violence."
Listening to Chang Fu's excited introduction about Zhao Huan's world-famous feats, Zheng Qingyun's heart surged. It was a huge regret that he could not witness the power of the prince with his own eyes.
At this moment, Zhu Lian snorted softly and looked at Changfu with evil eyes.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"I heard it from hearsay, but you still have the nerve to make such noise!"
Faced with Zhu Lian's reprimand, Chang Fu, who had been in high spirits just now, instantly withered.
Obviously, Zhu Lian still resented not reporting his knowledge.
Changfu lowered his head and said guiltily: "I know that this matter makes Her Royal Highness unhappy, but I have no choice but to safeguard the prince's grand plan."
"Now that the plan has been accomplished, even if I am severely punished by Her Royal Highness, my subordinates will admit it."
As he spoke, Changfu knelt down on one knee and said humbly: "I accept my punishment."
Chang Fu knew that Zhao Huan had gone to Yizhou to take risks, but did not report the knowledge. This made Zhu Lian very angry. However, considering that this guy was the prince's most reliable arm, Zhu Lian could not really punish him no matter how angry he was.
he.
However, Zhu Lian couldn't swallow this, and immediately hummed: "You will be fined half a year's wages, will you accept it?"
Changfu did not hesitate and nodded repeatedly: "I am sincerely convinced."
Zhu Lian finally took this breath, snorted lightly, ignored Chang Fu, and turned around to leave.
After all, given Zhu Lian's character, he was only fined half a year's wages, which was already considered as being lifted high and put down gently.
However, when Chang Fu raised his head, he was surprised to find that Zhu Lian had left, but Zheng Qingyun had not left.
Zheng Qingyun smiled gently and kindly, raised his hand leisurely, and Chen Yushu immediately handed over a five hundred tael silver note.
Zheng Qingyun handed the silver note to Changfu and comforted him softly: "These five hundred taels are given to you by me on behalf of my sister to reward you for your dedicated efforts in assisting the prince."
Zhu Lian reunited with the Zheng Qingyun sisters. He was supposed to take Zheng Qingyun back home with him, but he deliberately left Zheng Qingyun behind. In fact, he tacitly allowed Zheng Qingyun to reward him with long blessings.
Punishment is punishment, reward is reward, every code is a code.
Seeing Changfu's hesitation, Zheng Qingyun said kindly: "Take it, you have done everything for the prince, how can I let you suffer?"
Zhu Lian and Zheng Qingyun, one played the bad role and the other played the bad role, but they cooperated perfectly, setting the rules and making people convinced.
Changfu stopped refusing, took the banknote, and looked at Zheng Qingyun with great gratitude: "Thank you, concubine."
Zheng Qingyun recalled the reminder from the eunuch who had sent the order before, and shook his head with a smile: "I haven't married the prince yet, so don't call me concubine in the future."
Originally, Chang Fu wanted to argue, but now that Zheng Qingyun is already the county king, it is only a matter of time before he marries into the palace.
But then I thought about it, precisely because Zheng Qingyun has become a quasi-royal member, he has to abide by the rules even more.
If there is a slight violation, when faced with the joint law enforcement of the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple, it will really be one head and two big heads.
Changfu immediately changed his words: "Miss Xie!"
Although Zheng Qingyun's title was downgraded from concubine to young lady, her expression was unprecedentedly confident, because she no longer had to hide under Wang Wei's wings, she could hold her head high and stand upright on the land of Bianjing City.
Zheng Qingyun returned to the front hall and saw Zhu Lian drinking tea to moisten his mouth. He asked impatiently: "Sister, why didn't the prince come back with you?"
"Did something go wrong?"
Zhu Lian put down his tea cup and signaled to Zheng Qingyun not to worry: "The king's feat shocked the court, and his majesty will inevitably call him to the inner court to inquire about the details."
"Don't worry, the prince has already married and it is inconvenient to stay in the palace for too long. He will be back before nightfall."
Hearing this, Zheng Qingyun breathed a long sigh of relief. She was secretly excited when she thought that the prince would be back soon.
At the same time, in the imperial study room, father and son were rarely alone together, but there was no scene of "father is kind and son is filial".
Originally, Zhao Ji wanted to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Zhao Huan to bridge the gap between father and son.
result……
Father and son are like horoscopes against each other, and they started fighting after just a few words of conversation.
There were no outsiders in the royal study, not even the serving eunuchs, and the father and son completely let themselves go.
Zhao Ji slapped his hand on the table, pointed at Zhao Huan and yelled: "You traitor, don't think that you will be confident just because you have made great achievements. I can destroy you at any time!"
"Isn't it just for you to marry Xianglan? Why is it so difficult?"
"Xianglan is the Queen's personal attendant. By marrying you, am I still wronging you?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you marry Zheng Qingyun, I just asked her to postpone it. Why are you anxious?"
Zhao Ji's idea was very clear. Zhao Huan was now famous all over the world. He married the queen's valet to Zhao Huan. Not only was he happy, he was also able to place an informant next to Zhao Huan, so he could grasp Zhao Huan's movements more intuitively.
Facing the chaotic Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan showed no sign of weakness and snorted: "When did your majesty become so concerned about your personal life?"
"Humph, don't think that I don't know what your Majesty has in mind."
"Don't even think about it. Zhu Lian's eyes are so venomous. If Xianglan marries into the palace, she will probably not live for more than half a month!"
"Can't you do something serious all day long? Either you are messing around, you are reciting poems, you are using treacherous ministers and sycophants, what do you want me to say about you?"
hiss……
Zhao Ji was angry and shocked, and took a deep breath. Since he came to the throne, no one has ever dared to talk to him like this.
