Chapter 98 Chapter 98(1/4)
The change of the list caused quite a stir in the palace the next day. Both those who wanted to go and those who didn't want to go expressed shock at the change made by the emperor.
But Emperor Kangxi had made up his mind, and no one could change the emperor's decision...
Everyone can only keep their thoughts deep in their hearts and dare not say anything more.
Because the emperor's change of the list this time was of great importance, he called all the relevant elders to the palace to discuss the matter.
Luo Jianing had nothing to do, so she followed her fourth brother into the palace.
She brought Brother Hui to the palace and left Brother Hui to play with Concubine De in Yonghe Palace. Then she walked out of Yonghe Palace and wanted to take a walk around.
By the way, let’s take a look at things that happened some time ago.
After all, although the dowries of the Fifth Princess and the Seventh Princess have been prepared, and the Queen Mother and Concubine De are worrying about them, she still needs her help to think about everything about the engagement ceremony.
In this way, it is also good to walk around the palace and think about these things.
She was just walking around like this.
Unexpectedly, she met Wei Yingsheng, who came specifically to find her.
Wei promised to keep people's attention on Eighth Prince's side.
After all, she is the biological mother of the eighth prince, and the people around the eighth prince also know her a little bit. She just learned about the change of the list this morning, and also learned that the fourth prince will soon replace the eighth prince and stay in the capital.
inside.
After Wei promised to know that Si Fujin had followed Si Age into the palace, he specially found Si Fujin for this purpose and burst into tears: "...I know it must have been Si Fujin who helped me tell this. Otherwise, the emperor will not change himself easily.
It’s even more impossible to let Eighth Prince replace Si Baile on the southern tour!”
Luo Jianing was just casually strolling around the imperial garden in the palace, but she didn't expect that a guard rushed out midway and stopped her midway.
Luo Jia concentrated her mind and said, this is really a person sitting in the house, "Thanksgiving" coming from heaven.
She swore she had done nothing in the matter.
Why did Ke Wei agree that she was the one who did it and still be so grateful?
"You don't have to thank me." Luo Jianing was a little confused. Seeing that Wei promised to say something else, she just like Wei promised to push away everyone around her, and told the truth: "I really didn't do anything."
"If it wasn't Fujin, it must have been Si Beile who said it in front of the emperor!" Wei Yasheng was so moved that he started crying: "I've been thinking that the eighth prince couldn't follow last time, it would be great if he could follow this time.
The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is the best. If you can go and see it, the eighth prince will definitely be happy. Thanks to Sibeile, the eighth prince can have such a good opportunity!"
Luo Jianing laughed dryly: "It's not necessarily what the fourth master said."
"Who else could it be if it wasn't Si Beile? If Eighth Prince can go this time, isn't it because he has taken over Si Beile's position?" Wei agreed, looking at Si Fujin with burning eyes: "Otherwise, you said, if it wasn't Si Beile this time,
If so, who asked Eighth Prince to go there?"
Luo Jia thought hard and said he was the prince, but he couldn't say this out loud.
She could only manage two sentences: "...Actually, I don't know who it is."
Now Ziwei was even more determined when he agreed: "Then it must be Si Baile!"
Luo Jianing:......
OK.
It’s who you say it is, I won’t argue with you.
However, Luo Jianing looked at Wei's happy expression and couldn't help but remind him: "Don't say these words to Babeile."
Luo Jianing knows a little bit about Eighth Prince.
Big ambitions and many plans.
This time, Eight Aget tried every means to keep himself and the Ninth Age and Tenth Age behind. He must have had other plans.
What's more, a few days ago during the New Year, the eighth prince secretly went to see Tong Guowei, which made this matter even more complicated.
But just when he had everything planned, the emperor changed his mind and took the eighth prince away to go on a tour to the south together.
Eighth Prince may be so angry that he has turned into a pufferfish now.
Luo Jianing felt that Wei Yaosheng was pitiful because he was always thinking at odds with her son's. It was no wonder that the eighth elder brother did not dare to talk to Wei Yaosheng if anything happened.
Luo Jianing sympathized with Wei for agreeing, and kindly reminded her not to say these "Happy Amitabha" words to Eighth Prince.
Otherwise, Eighth Prince would definitely be even more angry, and therefore further away from Wei's promise.
Even though Luo Jianing thought about it this way, when Wei agreed to her words, she had a different meaning in her heart.
"Sifujin doesn't want me to tell you, so I won't tell you." Wei promised and narrowed his eyes with a smile, and there were tears of emotion in the corners of his eyes: "I'm hiding everything from Eighth Prince."
Wei promised to think that what Si Fujin meant was that even though she and Si Age had done good things, there was no need to tell Eighth Age.
Thinking about Si Fujin's continuous denial of "doing good things" just now, it must be because he didn't want to tell her about it.
Wei promised to think that Si Age and Si Fujin should be of good character if they do good deeds without leaving their names behind.
I just don’t know why the eighth elder brother has always disliked the fourth elder brother and his wife.
After Luo Jianing experienced what Wei promised, she always felt that she should pay attention to something, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
When lunch was about to begin, Concubine De suddenly said: "Luo Jianing, did you or Yinzhen say it in front of the emperor about the emperor's change of list this time?"
Luo Jianing didn't expect that even Concubine De thought so, so she quickly asked: "Why does Concubine Mother think so?" After a pause, she asked again: "Is it because the eighth prince is going to visit the south, and the fourth master stayed to help the prince?
Country, is this what makes mother and concubine consider this?"
"It's not just that." Concubine De didn't hide anything from Luo Jianing: "It's also because of the New Year's Eve family dinner."
At the New Year's Eve family dinner in the palace, the emperor only asked the prince and his wife to stay in Qianqing Palace to talk.
Luo Jianing: "But the list had not been announced at that time, and Huang Ama just asked us in advance if we wanted to go."
Concubine De smiled and said: "So what if it is announced later? That time at least showed that you and your wife can speak in front of the emperor just like the prince."
Luo Jianing: "So when it comes to changing the list, everyone first thought of me and the fourth master, but not the prince?"
"That's natural." Concubine De said: "The prince has nothing to do with the eighth prince. Besides, the last time the eighth prince assisted him, he did a good job. There is no reason for the prince to throw a powerful assistant to play in the south.
And left the fourth elder brother."
So that's what everyone thought, Luo Jianing suddenly realized.
The list was only announced after the conversation at the New Year's Eve family dinner, so when Luo Jianing met Wei promised to ask her about it, she was a little confused. She didn't expect that Wei promised to involve the couple in this matter.
On the body.
Unexpectedly, the couple felt that there was no big problem, but others were involved in the current matter.
Luo Jianing was extremely helpless: "Concubine, to tell you the truth, it was really not the Fourth Master and I who proposed the change to the list. If I am not mistaken, it should be the Crown Prince who did it."
Concubine De was very surprised: "What is the benefit of the prince doing this?"
"There may not necessarily be any advantages, but the prince should have tried his best to avoid the biggest disadvantages." Luo Jianing said: "We ordinary people can't guess his thoughts."
Although the fourth elder brother and the prince had a good relationship since childhood, they had gradually drifted apart in the past two years.
For some reason, the prince now distrusts the people around him more and more. The third elder brother is the same, and the fourth elder brother is the same. He has kept a certain distance from these younger brothers.
Like an emperor, he is high up, overlooking everything around him.
Luo Jianing vaguely knew why the prince did this.
But now the prince hasn't shown any signs, so she can't say those words.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about it, it was nothing. They could just continue preparing for the meal.
However, when Luo Jianing picked up the chopsticks, she suddenly realized what she had ignored just now. Only then was she shocked to realize what this matter meant. She hurriedly took advantage of lunch time to meet Brother Si. Speaking of it, Wei promised to specially
Found her.
"...Since Wei agreed, I think it was the fourth master who asked the emperor to let him stay instead of the eighth elder brother." Luo Jianing asked Yinzhen softly: "Then, will the eighth elder brother and the others think the same way?
?”
Her suspicion was not unfounded.
She had been wondering just now why Wei promised to be able to think of her and Si Age at once.
After talking to Concubine De, she finally understood the cause of the matter.
Then here comes the problem.
Concubine De can think like this, and Wei promised that she can think like this, does that mean that everyone else will feel the same way?
Everyone thinks that the fourth elder brother was the one who caused the eighth elder brother to go to the south for a tour, while he himself stayed in the palace as a support to help the prince?
If others think so, that's fine, there's no big problem.
But if the Eighth Prince himself thinks so, there may be endless troubles.
Luo Jianing thought about it and felt more and more that her concerns were possible.
Yinzhen looked at the little wife in front of him.
She has always been dignified and generous, but today because she was anxious to see him, her hair on her temples was a little messy and her forehead was slightly sweaty.
Yinzhen asked with a smile: "Are you worried about me?"
