Chapter 45 Chapter 45(2/3)
"Si Fujin is pregnant, so he will naturally be taken seriously." Tong Guowei said: "Have you forgotten what I just told you? The matter must be looked at in its entirety. The fourth elder brother is just mediocre. His heirs are the ones the emperor values."
Longkodo felt that what his father said made sense, so he agreed.
·
The fourth elder brother and his wife were placed in a corner of the hall.
Although this place seemed a bit remote, everyone in the room did not dare to underestimate it - the position arranged by the emperor himself was specially arranged to take care of Sifujin. Who dares to say that this place is not taken seriously?
?
The emperor attaches great importance to the fourth elder brother and his wife, and everyone in the room knows this.
At the same time, everyone was thinking that Si Age and his wife only depended on their unborn child. The royal family has always valued heirs, and now Si Fu Jin's mother has the emperor's special regard for her son.
Luo Jianing didn't pay attention to the looks of the people around her.
When she first watched the scene between the emperor and the eldest prince, she didn't feel anything at all. She could only secretly think about the various connections between these things.
It wasn't until she saw the eldest prince's dejected figure as he left that she couldn't help but start muttering secretly in her heart.
Judging from the current situation, Emperor Kangxi was very angry with the eldest prince. Although the confinement was only for a month, the question was when the anger would subside.
Then here comes the problem.
In a few months after the new year, Emperor Kangxi would personally conquer Galdan. Originally, the eldest prince would go with the army, and then lead the forward camp of the royal camp with Suo'etu, and still make contributions.
Judging from the current situation, if the stalemate continues like this, the emperor will probably not take his eldest brother with him as his charioteer?
If the eldest brother is looking forward to accompanying him when he goes on an expedition...then what method will he use to make the emperor change his mind?
Just as Luo Jianing was thinking this, someone suddenly pulled her sleeves.
She looked sideways.
However, Yinzhen raised his chin forward, signaling her to look forward.
As soon as Luo Jianing raised her eyes, she saw the official Crown Princess Guarjia arriving.
Although Guarjia's face looked a little haggard, after all, she had knelt down and cried just now and begged the emperor for the prince's favor. But her eyes were shining, and she was obviously very confident and very satisfied with the result.
Luo Jianing wanted to stand up and salute.
The princess quickly held her down and said, "Don't be so polite. We are all our own."
The little eunuch next to him was very smart. When he saw the princess coming, he quickly brought a chair for the princess to sit on.
There was no one else here, and there was only a single table. No one else could hear what she said. The princess then said: "You came at the right time today. If you hadn't come to interfere in this matter, this matter would still be going on."
Not sure how it will end."
The emperor was angry and although he did not reprimand the prince too harshly, the prince initiated the incident. Based on this alone, the emperor could not let him go all at once.
As a result, Si Fujin came, and Si Fujin's feet were numb, so Si Age helped him sit down.
Once this matter was stirred up, the emperor lost his temper and gave up after punishing the eldest prince, and did not continue to pursue the prince's side.
The Crown Princess held Si Fujin's hand and said sincerely: "We know that you and your wife are good for us. Don't worry, we will take good care of your child when he is born. He will be the most noble prince in the future."
Yinzhen originally took the tea cup and was about to take a sip. Hearing this, his fingertips paused and he squeezed the tea cup tightly with his fingers, and his joints turned white.
The Crown Princess didn't see it, she said a few words to Si Fujin and then left and returned to her seat.
The palace banquet did not stop until late at night.
On the way back.
Luo Jianing found a comfortable position and leaned against Yinzhen's side.
Yinzhen said with a smile: "You are good at covering up. You actually didn't see what you were thinking at all. How did you hear that there was something wrong with her words?"
Luo Jianing took two seconds to react before she realized what he was talking about was her dealing with the Crown Princess.
At that time, she was also shocked that the Crown Princess could say such words.
However, she responded quickly and quickly mentioned that she couldn't eat delicious food because she was pregnant, and she couldn't start with the table full of delicious food.
Luo Jianing knew that Yinzhen could see through her.
After all, he was someone who slept with her every day, so he knew a little bit about her temperament. Her submissive look just now couldn't fool him.
Luo Jianing said: "Only the emperor and the queen can promise that kind of thing. It is of course dangerous for her to say that. Besides, the third elder brother could pretend it before, why can't I pretend it?"
The third elder brother has always given people the impression that he is the more mediocre one among the brothers.
But this time he dealt with the eldest prince's affairs vigorously and resolutely, and actually gave the emperor a satisfactory answer in less than a month.
It's "astonishing".
As for what Guarga just said——
Just now, Princess Xu was so happy that she got carried away, and she actually blurted out the words "Your son is the most noble prince."
Only the emperor and queen can make such a promise.
But when the Crown Princess said this, it was as if the Crown Prince already regarded himself as the emperor and she herself was already the queen.
Although there was no one else around at the time and they were alone at the table, such words should never be said out loud, even if they were thought about in their hearts.
Luo Jianing could only change the topic.
After hearing what his young wife said, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and stretched out his arms to hold her tighter: "Fortunately you were alert, otherwise in the situation just now, I wouldn't have been able to remind you what could have gone wrong."
As a prince, while enjoying the greatest dignity in the world, he also walks the most dangerous road in the world.
You need to act cautiously every day, as one wrong step may lead to an abyss.
Fortunately, his wife was so cautious and alert that he could concentrate on his own affairs without having to think too much.
With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
His wife is his greatest blessing.
After Luo Jianing returned home, she saw that everything seemed to be calm, and she felt a little calmer for the first time.
It was just that she had been away for so long and it was New Year's Eve again. After all, she was not particularly relieved, so she specially called Anfu and the others to ask if anything special had happened today.
"It's nothing special." Anfu said, "It's just some exchanges of favors. In addition, someone came to visit Fourth Master and Fujin. When they saw that you were not there, they left."
Luo Jianing felt confused.
Generally speaking, people have to wait until the first day of the Lunar New Year to meet others. Even if they come on New Year's Eve, it should be in broad daylight. How come there are still people coming when they leave the house and go to the palace?
The palace holds a New Year's Eve family banquet every year, which everyone in the capital knows.
Under such circumstances, would anyone still come to greet them?
Luo Jianing hurriedly asked: "Who is that person who came to visit?"
Anfu: "They didn't leave any words at that time. They just said they came to see you two and didn't say much else."
At this time, Su Peisheng came forward, obviously having something to say.
Luo Jianing was afraid that something might happen at home and she wouldn't be able to cope with it anymore. She told Yinzhen that she would keep Su Peisheng at home tonight to avoid any trouble. Fulong and Anfu were too cautious.
Know how to adapt. With the clever Su Peisheng here, it will be much easier.
Su Peisheng said: "I don't know who the person is. I just noticed that among those people, there is a woman who looks familiar. If you look closely at her features, she looks a bit like Mrs. Lin, Li's aunt from before."
Lin's?
Are you pretending to be an old woman and come here to meet Fourth Master and Si Fujin?
Cui Ying on the side reacted quickly and said immediately: "No wonder I came to the house only when Fourth Master and Fujin were not around, saying I wanted to say hello. It turns out that my heart is not with Fujin, but with someone else!"
"
Obviously, Lin wanted to see Li instead of Fourth Master or Fujin when he came here secretly.
At this time, Anfu remembered something: "I remember that Magistrate Li returned to Beijing to report on his duties this winter. But logically speaking, he should go home to celebrate the New Year at this time, and he should not stay in Beijing."
Fulong said: "If he is thinking about Mr. Li, he might stay for a while and wait until the new position is assigned after the new year before taking up the post directly."
Lu Mei also understood at this time and continued: "In this case, it makes sense for Lin to come over."
Magistrate Li's family was worried about Mrs. Li and wanted to see her. Then Ms. Lin came here in disguise. After all, she had been here for several days before and was familiar with her.
Su Peisheng said: "I don't know if the other people are from Magistrate Li's house. What if they are also people in disguise?"
After Luo Jianing listened, she was thoughtful.
She had heard about Governor Li's recent visit to the capital.
It's just that Mrs. Li was originally just a concubine. Before she made the mistake, the Li family was not a serious relative of the fourth elder brother, and it was impossible to move around as relatives.
In the current situation, the Li family made a mistake and was criticized by the emperor. The Li family is not included in the fourth elder brother's house.
So when she found out that Magistrate Li had come to Beijing, she didn't pay much attention to it.
He's just a passerby, A, B, B, D, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
But now, people from the Li family have secretly gotten in touch with the Li family and secretly want to "plan" with the Li family. She can't ignore this matter.
First of all, who is the "undercover" in the house who actually helped the Li family and helped connect the Li family? This needs to be investigated carefully.
