The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and Xingji City is full of joy.
The commotion in the court was not reported.
Uncle Cheng En, who was sweating profusely, returned to his house and immediately called his children and even his in-laws.
When everyone arrived in a hurry, he first talked about what happened in the court, causing an uproar among the juniors who had just learned the news.
"Father/Uncle, is there something in trouble at the uncle's house?" Everyone asked.
"No." Uncle Cheng En shook his head, "It's just that in the recent period, no matter who you are, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. You must not act recklessly, or even go out without going out."
"If you cause any trouble for the uncle's house or even the Queen and King Qin, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Everyone in the hall was silent, no one dared to say anything except nodding in agreement.
"Father," the fan in Sun Ye's hand opened and closed, closed and opened again.
His face was full of embarrassment, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. My son also wants to race dragon boats, so he can't do it without going out. Besides, it's not a good idea to ban everyone from having fun at this time."
The others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
In the past two years, due to the epidemic, the entire Yunchui, including Xingji City, has been in turmoil, and almost everyone has no intention of celebrating the festival.
The current Dragon Boat Festival is regarded as the first major festival after the epidemic. Both high-ranking officials and ordinary people are looking forward to it, hoping it will be a good start.
Therefore, during the dragon boat racing, it is said that Emperor Changxing would bring his royal family out to add to the fun.
At that time, if other mansions are celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival outside, only Cheng Enbo's mansion will close its doors, and uninformed people will think that they have made some unforgivable mistake.
The impact is not good.
Uncle Cheng En had no choice but to relent, but he still kept urging his children and in-laws to behave in a down-to-earth manner during this special time.
After giving all these instructions, he discussed with the King of Qin for a long time, gritted his teeth, raised a large amount of money, and sent it to the palace obediently.
Zhen Guo Gongfu.
Yingpan followed Ren Ning to a neighbor's house.
Ren Ning went to practice dragon boat rowing, while she went to visit Princess Yiguang.
When I left home, my ex Ning joked: "Madam, you are going to bother the eldest princess in ten and a half days. Doesn't she bother you?"
When he was in Guangxin County before, Ren Ning had received a lot of information that Princess Yiguang revealed to Yingpan. After returning to Xingji City this time, he discovered that Yingpan didn't even need to ask for help, and came to her door every three days.
Visiting the Zhenguogong Mansion is almost as frequent as ordinary people visiting neighbors.
"No way," Ying Pan smiled and said, "I don't know how much the eldest princess welcomes me."
There are countless noble ladies in the entire imperial capital, but there are not many women who can ride a tall horse and run wildly or even wield swords and guns. Ying Pan is one of them.
When Princess Yi Guang saw her, she recalled her heroic appearance when she was young and led troops in battles, and she immediately felt good about her. The relationship between the old and the young was unknown.
Sometimes it's so good that even her granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law are jealous.
"How are you doing, Your Highness?" After entering the flower hall, Yingpan walked over with a smile, "Here I am again!"
"She's become the general's wife, and she's still making noises." Princess Yiguang smiled and asked her to sit down. "When you come, you can pour some tea by yourself."
Yingpan poured the tea and said with a smile: "Your Highness is making fun of people again."
In addition to being the eldest princess, Princess Yiguang is also a superb general. Now that Yingpan doesn't even have a great destiny, how can he dare to call himself a general's wife in front of her?
The two chatted happily for a while, and Yingpan frowned.
"Your Highness, do you know the Minister of Finance of the Ministry of Revenue?"
"Qian Liang?" Princess Yiguang glanced at her doubtfully, "What's wrong with him?"
Yingpan then told what happened yesterday when Ren Ning went to Qian Liang's house.
She was a little worried: "There is an old saying in Yun Chui that a superficial relationship does not convey a profound meaning. My husband, he has only met Qian Shangshu once or twice, but he actually talked nonsense in front of him yesterday. What if..."
"So that's it, don't worry." Princess Yiguang waved her hand, "Among the six ministers in the court, only Qian Liang and Fan Wen are the ones I'm more familiar with. The others are all old tricksters."
Yingpan breathed a sigh of relief, and soon her face became strange, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on the crested staff beside Princess Yiguang.
She doubted her ears.
Qian Liang, it's okay to say that you can actually look past Fan Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites?
If I remember correctly, wasn't he knocked unconscious by you in public some time ago in the imperial study?
Princess Yiguang seemed to understand Yingpan's meaning and said with a smile: "Fan Wen and Qian Liang are not bad in nature. They are people who do practical things. It's just that Fan Wen is too pedantic. It's okay to knock him occasionally."
Only then did Yingpan suddenly realize.
"As for Qian Liang, the reason why your husband came to him is probably because of Wei Junqian's instructions." Princess Yiguang patted Yingpan's hand comfortingly, "Don't worry."
"Although Qian Liang doesn't like Wei Junqian's son-in-law very much, he won't deliberately embarrass or even frame Ren Ning because he is from the Starfall Legion."
ah?
Yingpan opened her mouth in shock, "General Wei turns out to be Qian Shangshu's son-in-law?"
"Yes." Princess Yiguang nodded.
"More than thirty years ago, Wei Junqian was still a young boy, and his military position was not as high as yours, Ren Ning's, now. Miss Qian met him by chance, fell in love at first sight, and insisted on marrying Wei Junqian."
"That's great," the girl from the grassland perked up, and immediately felt that this rich girl who dared to love and hate was very suitable for her: "They say that men should get married when they get older, and girls should get married when they get older, so let's get married."
"It's easier said than done." Princess Yiguang glanced at her with a smile, "At that time, there was chaos inside and outside Yunchui."
"In order to sit on the dragon throne, the princes were killed in Xingji City with bloodshed. Outside, except for the south, the entire Yunchui was attacked on three sides. Every day, large numbers of good men rushed to the battlefield, never to return."
"At this time, Qian Liang was inevitably worried about marrying his daughter to a big-time soldier like Wei Junqian who couldn't see the future. He quickly asked someone to find a match for his daughter, so that he could marry her off as soon as possible to put an end to Miss Qian's thoughts.
.”
"I see," Yingpan nodded in understanding. She couldn't help but crane her neck, "What happened next?"
"Then one day, the Qian Mansion suddenly announced that the two were married." Princess Yiguang couldn't help but smile: "Actually, Wei Junqian took the girl and secretly returned to Xingluo County."
elopement!
Yingpan opened her eyes wide in shock.
No wonder Qian Liang didn't like this son-in-law.
Ahem!
Princess Yiguang coughed twice, "Fortunately, Wei Junqian kept up his good work, walked over step by step, and suddenly sat in the position of the general of the army. It can be considered that he did not insult Miss Qian's infatuation."
Yingpan breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly became curious: "Your Highness, this kind of thing should be very private. How did you know about it?"
Princess Yiguang's expression suddenly became strange. She stretched out her half-withered hand and gently touched Yingpan's long black hair.
"Miss Qian and Qing'er have been handkerchiefs since they were young. So we know this."
"Qing'er, Concubine Qing?" Yingpan asked.
"Yes." Princess Yiguang raised her head and looked in the direction of Miyagi City with an incomprehensible expression, "Qing'er was about to give birth more than ten years ago. At that time, Miss Qian, well, she was already a mother, and she specially came from Xingluo County.
