Chapter 210 The good news will fall on your own land
Pang Yu, the second cousin of Concubine Pang's mother-in-law, hurriedly returned to Beijing from his post a few days ago.
Today, he made an appointment with His Highness King Cheng in the restaurant.
After the death of the imperial concubine, the emperor gave her cousin Pang Yu a chance to take up a post abroad. If he did well, he would have a great chance of promotion.
It's just that Pang Yu's abilities are limited. The past few years have been very bumpy, but in the past two years, things have become much more stable.
This time, he came back to celebrate the New Year and report on his work. He hoped to stay in the capital. But now that his qualifications are back, there is no one to support him, and his position is limited. He can only wait until the New Year is over. If not, he will have to leave again after the New Year.
.
Pang Yu came back and was busy with business for a few days before he found time to talk to his brother Pang about family affairs.
Pang Jian had already planned it, so he didn't take any detours and said directly, "Brother, when Master Qi was still in the northwest, the emperor granted him the title of king and built a mansion. I wanted to take a look, but as a result, that bitch Wu Dong didn't let me in."
"Who do you think he is? What is his relationship with His Highness King Cheng? A eunuch..." His face was full of disgust.
When Pang Yu heard this, he frowned. This younger brother was still really outrageous. "Speak up! What is Wu Dong like? Is it your turn to say it?"
But his younger brother refused to accept, "Brother! We are the royal concubine's biological brothers, right?! Are we the uncles of His Highness King Cheng? Why can't we come and have a look?"
Pang Yu said, "He was not in Beijing at that time. Why did you go there?"
His younger brother said, "You don't know that Prince Cheng's Mansion itself is not small. Master Qi also bought a house next to it and renovated it. The two houses were combined into one. It is bigger than all the prince's houses! I heard that the materials used are very good."
His work is very meticulous! He just built his mansion, where did the money come from?!"
Pang Yu didn't say anything. He knew that what his brother was thinking about was the property that the imperial concubine had taken away.
His younger brother said, "As a result, Master Qi is back and he didn't even say he would come to visit the house. I asked someone to deliver a message to him... and he ignored me!" He really didn't dare to go forward in person, so he wanted to take a roundabout way, but in the end,
…
Pang Yu sighed, "You really... why do you insist on seeing him! He must have that intention! How can he still not know who you are and where the Pang family is??" In fact, he was not happy in his heart.
Pang Jian said, "If you don't look for it, you will become more and more unfamiliar! Brother, why are our families so unlucky? Back then, my cousin took away so many belongings. She had no children, so... she should have returned them to Pang Jian."
Family. But she happened to adopt such a son! If it was her biological son, even if he was a princess, I would have no problem with it. But Master Qi really has no blood connection at all!"
Pang Yu said, "Give it to him. That's what the Queen wants. What can we say?"
Pang Jian said, "Humph! I have been in the hands of that eunuch all these years, making a lot of money! Such a good garden... But our family is destitute of people and money. At home, I have no income and cannot make ends meet. You take over
, I’m so busy but I can’t even come back to the capital! What kind of thing is this?”
Pang Yu sighed, "It's not that simple! Even if the empress doesn't give it to him...how can you still find Long Live Master?!" He took it away and it was gone. I just didn't expect that the uncle and eldest brother would die so early, otherwise, the family would
There is no need to worry about some property.
Pang Jian: "This...this...Brother, I have an idea now. I secretly saw Master Qi after he came back. He is very energetic! He has a noble status and money. What do you think, this piece of fat water should also be used?"
It falls in our own field. Our Yuan'er has grown up with Master Qi. She is also thinking about Master Qi in her heart. Let Yuan'er become the princess, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Pang Yu's expression was ugly, "What does it mean for a girl to be thinking about Master Qi? How did you teach Pang Yuan? She and Master Qi are different in gender. How come they grew up together?!"
Pang Jian was not happy: "Brother, don't worry about this? Just talk about this idea, is it a good thing to combine two good things into one?!"
Pang Yu was deep in thought and said nothing.
Pang Jian said, "Brother, you have also seen how good Yuan'er is. She is cheerful, talented, and filial. She is also close to many ladies in the capital. Who is a good candidate for the princess? After the death of the empress,
You are always out of town, in the capital, and the Pang family can't be counted at all. Whatever happens, the Pang family can't get involved. If this continues, won't it be over? If Yuan'er can marry into the palace, no matter in terms of wealth or status, we can establish
Get up! It would be much easier for you to stay in the capital, wouldn't it?"
Pang Yu said, "But the emperor has the final say on the seventh master's princess. There is also a queen in the palace, and empress Li is the prince's biological mother. She probably has her own ideas. What can you do if you are willing to do so? You can't find a matchmaker.
Are you going to propose marriage to the emperor? Put aside what you think is right, there is no way you can do it!"
Pang Jian said, "If Master Qi agrees, it will be okay if he goes to mention it to the emperor!"
Pang Yu said, "What does it matter even if the seventh master agrees? If the emperor knows that we secretly plotted against the prince's marriage, it will be in vain if we don't punish him!"
Pang Jian had been thinking about it for several days, but he asked his brother to say no, and became frustrated and stopped talking.
Although Pang Yu said this, he went back to his room and thought about it, and still asked someone to write a letter to Li Cheng. He wanted to meet him, but he didn't ask him to come to Pang's house or the palace, but made an appointment at a restaurant.
Li Cheng received the letter and told Wu Dong. Wu Dong had a stronger impression of him than the other two brothers. So when the two arrived, they went to the restaurant together.
Pang Yu was very surprised when he saw the tall and powerful King Cheng, whom he had not seen for so many years.
This is no longer the ignorant and somewhat naive look he had before.
I saw that he was tall, handsome, spoke grandly, and behaved noble. He was well-dressed from head to toe.
After all, he is a prince, and he has made military exploits on his own!
A perfect aura of a king!
After admiring it for a long time, I saw Wu Dong next to him! He had not aged much after all these years. He was dressed in extremely elegant black clothes, and his whole body had a jade-like expression... I felt a little awkward, but I didn't show it.
The three of them sat down, and Pang Yu carefully talked about his overseas duties, and also asked about Li Cheng's affairs in the northwest and the establishment of his mansion.
Li Cheng patiently answered questions with him, and the atmosphere was quite good!
Wu Dong was nearby, only taking care of Qi Ye's food and drink, and not talking to him.
Pang Yu felt that if his wife Pang Yuan could marry him, it would be a great marriage. He asked Li Cheng, "Master Qi, you are old enough to get engaged. I wonder what the emperor has planned? Or do you?"
Any ideas?"
In fact, he asked the same question in the last life. At that time, Li Cheng said, "The father, the emperor, and the queen will make the decision on this matter."
After hearing this, he didn't find it easy to answer, so he didn't say much. But later, in front of the emperor, he humbly expressed that he wanted His Highness to have closer contact with the imperial concubine's family.
The emperor also knew that his son got most of the Pang family's property in his name. He was a little embarrassed, so he said he would consider it at that time.
As a result, Wu Jingxiang's incident happened before the marriage was granted. The Wu family was so powerful that it was impossible to treat Wu Jingxiang poorly. Therefore, the female concubine of the Pang family was given the position. It is not a low price to say, because Pang Yuan's
His father, Pang Jian, was only a fifth-rank official.
But now, Li Cheng thought of the beautiful and fierce Axiu, and his heart was sweet, like he was carrying a few little rabbits, and he kept jumping.
Full of love, vented from a distance. When Pang Yu asked, he felt even more itchy. Such a beautiful and wonderful feeling must be something he wanted to share with others. He said, "I have... someone I like, whom I want to marry."
she."
When Wu Dong heard this, he also smiled slightly.
Pang Daren was a little surprised, "Oh? Which girl is it?"
Li Cheng said it, his face a little red. She didn't know yet, she seemed to be not very kind to him, would she be willing to marry him?
He said to Pang Yu, "I haven't told my father yet. She may not be willing to do it yet. Her temper is... powerful. I have to get her to agree first." After that, he was a little anxious. He talked to her last time.
After mentioning something, she seemed to tell me not to talk nonsense... Does this mean she disagrees? How can that be good?
When Wu Dong heard this, he quickly said, "My lord, you are so outstanding. How could she not be willing? She is willing!"
When Master Pang heard this, he thought he was not talking about his niece, right?
When Li Cheng heard this, "Really!? Well, then I..." He stood up suddenly and was about to ask.
Pang Yu looked at his excited expression, and everything his brother said to him appeared in his mind.
Yes, he has no blood relationship with his family, and most of the Pang family's property was given to him.
Although things happened for a reason, it was still difficult to reconcile.
What should I say when I see the emperor?
He secretly made up his mind.
Li Cheng went out from the restaurant, his heart full of love. He couldn't go to Axiu, so he wanted to take Wu Dong to Anjia.
It was definitely not appropriate for someone to come to the house so rashly during the New Year's Eve! But Wu Dong doted on his prince in every possible way, and as long as he said anything, he would do anything, so the two of them went to An's house again.
It was only after this visit that I found out that Mrs. An was pregnant.
Wu Dong quickly said that he was rude and would send a suitable gift in a while.
However, Li Cheng was thinking about what happened in the second grade of junior high school and asked An Ning, "Then what happened in the second grade of junior high school has not changed, right?!"
The original arrangement was for Lin Zhixiu to come over in the morning, and then go to Ren's house with Mrs. An Ning, and then to Zai'an's house in the afternoon to receive the two princes.
An Ning hurriedly said, "My lord, there has been no change! My wife is not in good health, so she will not go back to her parents' home in the second year of junior high school. An Ning will be at home all day, and you and His Royal Highness Prince Jin can come at any time!"
When Li Cheng heard this, he became happy, "Well, remember to pick up Zhixiu early...Uncle Dong, you have to prepare for a day's meal. The restaurants will be closed by then, so don't bother Mr. An."
, we won’t have anything to eat then!”
Wu Dong said, "Don't worry, everything is ready! It's enough for five days, haha."
