Chapter 444: The complicated relationship between the royal family and wooing Lin Ruhai
"Now we are the only two left in the house~"
In Wutong Garden, Cai Luan looked at the beautiful Taoist nun in the room and felt quite sad in her words.
By the way, after Jia Xi left, the Marquis Mansion gradually became deserted. Xiang Ling and Qin Keqing were pushed to Jia Xi's side and went to sea together.
Xichun, the restless one, heard that Yuanchun was going to visit his relatives and build some kind of garden, so he ran back and went to supervise the work under the pretense of being there. However, Cai Luan and the others knew that they were probably there for fun.
However, since Jia Qi and Dai Yu broke off their verbal engagement, the little girl seems to have lifted her burden and is smiling every day.
At this age, her playful temperament is gradually revealed. If there is nothing going on at home, she will drag her little maid and Qingwen around.
"Xiaoyue is here too~"
Cai Luan looked helpless, raised her head and lay down on the bed in Miaoyu's room.
"That little girl is different~"
"By the way, you told me last time that I couldn't leave. Why?? It's so boring at home!!"
Cai Luan opened her two pairs of eyes as black as paint, looked at the top of the bed, and asked with some doubts.
Miaoyu sighed.
"When he goes out on business, he has to leave two people in the house to reassure the people above him. Originally, Miss Lin from the Lin House was involved with him and was the most suitable person. But now that something like this happened, the hostage
But it’s not up to standard!”
"As for the others, I'm afraid Miss Xichun won't be able to carry enough weight on her own, so only by adding you and me together can we barely get enough!"
Hearing Miaoyu's explanation, Cai Luan raised his eyebrows. Didn't the emperor already know Jia Qi's identity? Why did he still need to get these things?
"No! This time, after the Marquis comes back, I'm afraid he won't be called the Marquis anymore, but the prince!" [Fastest.Update.at.co
"That thing may not be of much use to us, but if it is as good as what he said, this contribution is enough to support the millions of people in Dakang, and it is also enough to get the royal family to be crowned again!"
When Cai Luan heard this, she didn't seem to be much touched. She just asked softly: "Does that have any impact on whether we stay or not??"
"Do you think the emperor is really so relieved that he will leave??
Cai Luan was stunned, Miao Yu, what does this mean?
Jia Qi had told her about this before, and he had no interest in sitting in that seat.
Miaoyu smiled and shook her head, waved to her, and then pushed the bowl of tea in her hand to the opposite position.
"Sister, have you ever heard of a saying, I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"
Cai Luan got up from the bed and frowned.
"Sister means."
Miaoyu smiled and shook her head.
"Sister, I think that after the emperor knows the identity of the Marquis, he will trust him more??"
Cai Luan nodded subconsciously.
Miaoyu sighed softly.
"Then sister, have you ever thought that if he rebels again now, will there be any unjust and unjust words?"
Cai Luan was stunned for a moment.
It's true that if Jia Qi rebelled at this time, raised his voice and put out many evidences to prove his identity, then things would definitely not be like before.
They are both members of the Chu royal family, and they are also a prince. This is not just an ordinary succession of the throne.
"So, compared to before, the relationship between the emperor and him is actually more complicated. On the one hand, he doesn't want to move, after all, tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. On the other hand, he has to guard against it because he behaves so well and is very good.
With his excellence, his achievements in opening up new territories, and an iron cavalry that can threaten the capital, if such a person turns against him, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"So those of us who are closest to him are a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip to make the emperor feel at ease. If I am not wrong, there will be people secretly protecting Miss Xichun outside!"
"That's why I said before, it's better for the two of us to stay!"
Hearing this, Cai Luan lay down on the table as if someone had had his bones ripped out. [Fastest.Updated.at.co
Jia Qi left this time, at least three or four months. When had she and Jia Qi been separated from each other for so long since they met? This was really a torment for her.
Even if she asked Dabai and the others to take her to find someone, it would be useless. Long before Jia Qi left, she had heard him say that the place was far away from Dakang and there was the sea everywhere.
Dabai is an eagle, not a god. If there is a place to rest on the way, it doesn't matter. But the key is that there may not be a place to rest on the way, so he went to Jinmen Gang just to be safe.
"Sister, once he left, I felt like I had nothing to do!"
Miaoyu said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. If my sister is really too busy, why not just go to Rongguo Mansion for a stroll. If Miss Xichun is with you, nothing will happen to you!"
Cai Luan chuckled.
"I'm too lazy to go. Since he left, let's keep our house quiet! Anyway, it was already noisy enough some time ago!"
Having said this, Cai Luan couldn't help but shook her head.
To be honest, during the time they returned to Beijing, there was almost no time for everyone in the Hou Mansion. They only came out every two or three days, which was really too high-profile.
At sunset, in the Daming Palace and the royal study, a memorial with an urgent demand of 800 miles was delivered to Emperor Kangdi of the Ming Dynasty.
There was a severe drought in Shandong, and there was no harvest. A large number of people moved their families northward to flee the famine. Youdao was afraid of what would come.
The most embarrassing thing for the imperial court now is food. There is still a lot of money in the treasury, mostly gained from the war, but the food is almost clean.
"Dai Quan, Prince Xuan Xiren, Lin Ruhai, the Minister of Household Affairs, and the Minister of War are here together!"
Emperor Mingkang did not hesitate too much. He had already expected something like this in his heart. [Fastest.Updated.at.co
This situation may occur in Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi regions every year, but I didn't expect it to happen so early this year.
“Xu Yuantu!!“
After standing for a while, Emperor Mingkang spoke again.
A black shadow emerged from behind the pillar again.
"How is the investigation going on with Chu Xuan?"
Xu Yuantu hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "Most of the old ministers of the Supreme Emperor's lineage have taken refuge with the Fifth Prince. Judging from the news received so far, the other party seems to be planning to win over Lord Lin Ruhai and use... marriage.
Way~"
Hearing this, Emperor Mingkang couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Chu Xuan was too young and didn't know how to hide the front. With the support of those people, he usually acted unscrupulously. He didn't even need to look carefully to find clues.
This group of people's appetites were quite big, and they actually had Lin Ruhai's idea in mind.
"I know, how are you preparing for this year's imperial examination?"
