After Qin Yu and Xie Fanghua entered the imperial study, Prince Ying did not follow up, but waited at the door.Xie Fanghua didn't hear the footsteps, glanced back, and saw that Prince Ying didn't follow up, this was a trust, and her heart warmed.Qin Yu looked at her and asked in a low voice, "It's noon now, what makes you so anxious" Xie Fanghua suppressed her emotions and said to Qin Yu, "Do you know the marriage that the eldest princess chose for Jin Yan" Qin Yu bowed, "Today, the eldest aunt and Jin Yan entered the palace, and now they are in the queen mother's palace, and they invited me to go earlier, saying that they want to make decisions for them, about Jin Yan's marriage." ”When the words fell, she wondered, "What's wrong, is there anything wrong" Xie Fanghua nodded and said to him, "Yesterday, I heard Yan Lan say that the one who was selected was Zheng Xiaochun, the sister-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and this family affair was originally given to Li Rubi by Mrs.
Youxiang, Li Rubi was unwilling, the eldest princess looked at it and took it, but Jin Yan responded. ”Qin Yu nodded, "I heard, that's the case." ”Xie Fanghua sighed and said to him, "Yesterday, I asked the Xie clan to spy on the Northern Qi secret pile, and today I handed over a list. ”After the words fell, she said, "After the list is in my hands, I will order Qingyan to send it to Qin Zheng immediately, but the list has been written down by me, you bring a pen and paper, and I will write down these lists for you." ”Qin Yu bowed his head, pushed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the side to her, and asked at the same time, "Could it be that there is a Xingyang Zheng family in this list" Xie Fanghua shook his head, "You will understand after reading this list." ”Qin Yu didn't ask anymore.Xie Fanghua took the pen and ink, picked up the pen and wrote out the list in turn.Qin Yu stood aside, watching her write, her gaze gradually became deep and deep from the initial indifference.Xie Fanghua dropped the last name, put down the pen, and looked at Qin Yu, "Look at this list, now you understand" Qin Yu pursed his lips, "This list is a net, but the center of the net seems to point to one place." ”"Yes," Xie Fanghua nodded, "This list looks like this has no connection, but if you grab one of the ropes, you can burn a string of grasshoppers."
And this rope is hidden very deeply, and from the surface, there is no connection and no trace to follow. ”"This rope is the Xingyang Zheng clan."
Qin Yu said solemnly."
yes."
Xie Fanghua sighed, "The Xingyang Zheng family is also a family of hundreds of years, although it is now a little lower than other families, but in the end, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse."
There are a lot of things that are brilliantly hidden and overlooked. ”Qin Yu frowned, "Do you know how the marriage contract between the Xie family and the Xingyang Zheng family was made?"
"I heard that Mrs.
Inmin was born in the Li family of Zhao County, and the cousin of the Ying prince and princess married the daughter of the Li family of Zhao County, and because the second master of the Cui family in Qinghe was born in the Xingyang Zheng family, that is, the mother who listened to the words, and the princess of Ying became friends with the dead sister-in-law and raised the words.Therefore, based on this multi-layered relationship, in order to get closer to Prince and Princess Ying, and put this big tree, the somewhat declining Xingyang Zheng family fell into the eyes of Mrs.
Min and gave her eldest daughter to the eldest son of the Xingyang Zheng family.After all, the Xie family's long house is a side branch, and this family affair is a good match. ”Xie Fanghua said.Qin Yu's face sank slightly, "That's what I know.At the beginning, the marriage contract between the eldest lady of the Xie family and the eldest son of the Zheng family in Xingyang was well known in Beijing, but now it is mentioned that it is said that Mrs.
Xie Changfang Min asked for it through multiple relationships. ”Xie Fanghua nodded, took his words and said, "When the Xie family's long house was in trouble, the marriage contract with the eldest son of the Xingyang Zheng family was invalidated, and we had no suspicions and objections, after all, it was the marriage that the Xie family's long house had worked hard to propose, and the Xingyang Zheng family saw that the Xie family's long house was in trouble, and the marriage contract was invalidated, so it is no wonder that the Xingyang Zheng family is blamed, only the long house."
But it ignores and hides the real purpose behind it. ”"Xingyang Zheng Clan" Qin Yu looked at this list and narrowed his eyes, "It's really hidden, such a list dug out deeply, there is no name of Xingyang Zheng Clan, it can be seen that the foundation is deep, not overnight, I am afraid that it will be a generation." ”"Judging from this list, I'm afraid there is more than one generation."
Xie Fanghua bowed, "For three generations, the Zheng family in Xingyang has gradually declined, and most of the heirs have not entered the dynasty.But it is precisely because of this that not many people pay attention to their daily movements, and their daily actions are even more hidden. ”Qin Yu was silent.Xie Fanghua said again, "Even if the Northern Qi dark pile is eradicated, it is not appropriate to make too much noise, after all, the situation in the Southern Qin Dynasty is still unstable."
The flooding situation, the replacement of the old and the new, the people are impetuous.And now, the eldest princess's mansion is afraid that she and the Xingyang Zheng family have secretly reached an agreement on this marriage.Therefore, today the eldest princess took Jin Yan into the palace to ask you to call the shots.In this way, the stakes are greater. ”Qin Yu rubbed his eyebrows, "It's indeed a troublesome matter. ”"It is not so easy for a family to move the foundation for hundreds of years, it is intertwined, and it affects the whole body."
Xie Fanghua said, "Especially the eldest princess's mansion and Jin Yan are still implicated.Jin Yan has always been longing for you, the eldest princess is worried day and night, and now she is finally dead set on Xu Xingyang Zheng's family, if she can't come up with real evidence and do something to Xingyang Zheng's family, the eldest princess will definitely stop doing it, and she will not allow this marriage to be destroyed. ”"I'm afraid I can't help her," Qin Yu's voice was slightly deep, "The marriage between the eldest princess's mansion and the Zheng family in Xingyang is not worth mentioning compared to the century-old foundation of Southern Qin Jiangshan. ”Xie Fanghua looked at him, "Even if you don't take care of the eldest princess's mansion and Jin Yan, you have to take into account the Xingyang Zheng family, which has been a family for hundreds of years.If at this time, Nanqin leads to a turmoil, it will not be good for Nanqin, only bad. ”Qin Yu pursed his lips, "If you do it quickly and eradicate it quietly", "If Southern Qin is wiped out overnight by a family that has been around for hundreds of years, do you say that there will be an uproar in the world, will the rest of the family panic, will the government and the opposition be shaken" Xie Fanghua raised his eyebrows.Qin Yu's face turned gloomy again, "What good way do you have" Xie Fanghua shook his head, "There is no good way to deal with this matter now, I am afraid that no matter how you deal with it, you will lose something." ”When the words fell, she pointed to the list, "Based on this list alone, there should be no evidence, after all, not everyone can see that this involves the powerful relationship of the Xingyang Zheng family like you and me." ”After a pause, he added, "Besides, the rumors can't leak out." ”Qin Yu looked at the list and was silent.Since Xie Fanghua saw the list sent by Mrs.
Ming, she analyzed the pros and cons of the gains and losses in an instant, although the Xingyang Zheng family now looks inferior to other families, these years, it seems to have declined.In fact, it is not, the original decline is gradually declining, I am afraid that there is another hidden reason.If you peel back the cocoon, you will find that over the years, the relationship between in-laws has been intertwined.Especially in recent years, they all feel that the Zheng family of Xingyang wants to return to the capital, and there is a sense of resurrection, like Yuqian Palace, yearning for the capital, and it is a relative.Who knows, there may be another plan behind this.Or, a bigger guess, maybe the Xingyang Zheng clan is the biggest secret stake link between Northern Qi and Southern Qin.If this is the case, Nanqin is really facing trouble at present, not only from the border of Qiyanqinghe, but also from within Nanqin, the hidden mountain and the hundred-year-old family involved by the Zheng family of Xingyang.After Qin Yu was silent for a while, he said to Xie Fanghua, "Since I returned to Beijing, I have been busy with court affairs, and I have not paid attention to this kind of private movement between various mansions and in-laws.Moreover, if there is no list, it ignores the deep involvement of the Xingyang Zheng family. ”When the words fell, he sighed, "I'll go to the mother's harem to find out what the eldest aunt and Jin Yan mean, whether it has reached the point where the Zheng family in Xingyang will not marry, and then make a final conclusion." ”Xie Fanghua bowed his head, "The sister-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang can first let the Xie family's long house ask for marriage, and then let the right minister's wife value it, and now the eldest princess is happy."
It can be seen that it is really extraordinary. ”After a pause, she said, "If Jin Yan is extremely determined, then she must think of a perfect plan." ”"Now the situation in Southern Qin, where can I wait for slow grinding" Qin Yu glanced out the window, "Qin Zheng is out of Beijing this morning" Xie Fanghua nodded, "Hmm." ”"You said you had already sent him the list," Qin Yu asked again.Xie Fanghua bowed, "He is now three hundred miles away. ”Qin Yu pondered for a moment, "It will take an hour and a half to send the list to him at the earliest, and after he receives it, there should be a reply."
It should have arrived before dark. ”When the words fell, he retracted his gaze, "In this way, you and the eldest aunt will go with me to eat together in the harem."
By the way, let's explore the meaning of the eldest aunt and Jin Yan, and we will wait for Qin Zheng's reply by the way, and then make a decision after discussion.Maybe he can have a good solution. ”Xie Fanghua thought about it, nodded, "It's okay" The two of them walked out of the imperial study together.Qin Yu said in a harmonious voice to Prince Ying and Princess Ying who were waiting at the door, "Auntie, it's noon now, you and Fanghua don't have to go back to the house, come with me to eat in the mother's harem." ”Princess Ying glanced at Xie Fanghua, and when she saw her nodding to her, she smiled and said, "I haven't seen the Queen Mother and the eldest princess for many days, let's go." ”The three of them walked towards the Empress Dowager's palace together.On the way, Princess Ying asked Xie Fanghua in a low voice, "The matter can be solved" Xie Fanghua shook his head, glanced at the Empress Dowager's Palace, and said in a low voice, "It is not easy to implicate the eldest princess in the marriage chosen by Jin Yan, go to the Empress Dowager Palace first, explore the attitude, and then find a way." ”Prince Ying and Princess Ying were already smart, and when she heard this, she knew a little more about Xie Fanghua's entry into the palace, and her face was a little more solemn, "The eldest princess has always been worried about Jin Yan's marriage, and now she finally chose one, and Jin Yan agreed again."
If there are twists and turns in it, it's really hard to say. ”Xie Fanghua nodded.The three of them came to the Empress Dowager Palace together.The Queen Mother, the eldest princess, Jin Yan and others got the news that Qin Yu, Princess Ying, and Xie Fanghua were coming to the palace, and the three of them who were waiting for Qin Yu to take a look at each other walked out of the palace to greet them.The eldest princess and Jin Yan gave Qin Yu a gift.Qin Yu saw that the eldest princess was in excellent spirits, Jin Yan saluted him in a proper manner, and changed the affection he once faced him, without raising his eyelids, very calm.He waved his hand and said gently, "Auntie and cousin don't need to be polite, let's get even." ”The two of them got up.Princess Ying and Xie Fanghua greeted the Queen Mother.The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand, and said that she was not polite.The eldest princess smiled and greeted Princess Ying, and said to Xie Fanghua with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many days, the little princess looks really good, and her injuries seem to be completely healed." ”Xie Fanghua said with a smile."
Jin Yan has been talking about you these days, I was going to see you in Prince Ying's mansion yesterday, because there were guests in the mansion, I didn't take a break, and today I was pulled into the palace again, and now I didn't expect you to enter the palace by coincidence."
The eldest princess smiled again and said, "This time you sisters have seen each other, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”Jin Yan stepped forward, took Xie Fanghua's hand, and looked at her carefully, "Is your injury really healed, why did I look at the weight loss again" When the words fell, she frowned, "Did Qin Zheng give you anything to eat" Xie Fanghua said with a smile, "She is hungry for me, you see him training him for me." ”Jin Yan pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, "Where is he willing to starve you, I don't dare to discipline him." ”Xie Fanghua was also a little funny.Jin Yan tugged at her sleeve, "Look at it, your clothes are so much bigger now, it can be seen that you have lost so much weight." ”"Hua girl has just returned home, and I have already asked people to make clothes for her again.It's too thin, and it needs to be carefully raised. ”Prince Ying took over and said."
Let's go, let's go in, and I'll wait for you to have lunch together."
The Queen Mother said to everyone.Qin Yu took the lead in raising his steps, and the group entered the palace.During the banquet, several people occasionally chatted a few words, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.After the meal, Qin Yu took a sip of tea and asked the eldest princess, "The eldest aunt entered the palace today and said that she wanted to find me, so what's the matter?"
”"Oh" Qin Yu glanced at Jin Yan, as if he was a little surprised, "I heard what Xiaoquanzi said, I don't know which one to choose" Jin Yan still lowered her head, her eyelids were not raised, and she sat quietly.The eldest princess also glanced at Jin Yan and said with a smile, "The emperor is worried about the court these days, he is too busy, this marriage is silent, it has just been decided, it is not surprising that you don't know." ”When the words fell, she said, "It's Xingyang Zheng." ”"Hmm" Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, and a trace of wonderful emotion instantly appeared on his face.The eldest princess kept looking at Qin Yu, clearly seeing the changes on his face, and suddenly chuckled in her heart, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong" Jin Yan raised her head when she heard this, and looked at Qin Yu for the first time.Qin Yu frowned slightly, and didn't answer the eldest princess's words for a while.The eldest princess looked at the Queen Mother and Princess Ying on the side.The Queen Mother shook her head slightly, and Princess Ying didn't express any emotion.She looked at Xie Fanghua again, and Xie Fanghua also pretended not to know.For a moment, there was a low air in the room.After a while, Qin Yu still didn't speak.The eldest princess couldn't help it, and opened her mouth twice, "Is there really something wrong with the emperor" Qin Yu finally spoke, and asked the eldest princess, "The eldest aunt likes this family affair very much" The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, savoring the meaning of Qin Yu's words, after all, she was a person raised in the palace, and immediately felt that it was really bad, and glanced at Jin Yan and said, "I think it's okay, Yan'er also agreed, and when she was old, she agreed." ”"It's already decided," Qin Yu asked again.The eldest princess said cautiously, "It has been agreed, and the token has not been handed over yet, I will come into the palace to ask the emperor what he means, and if you also feel agreeable, I will give the next holy decree." ”"The holy decree of marriage," Qin Yu asked.The eldest princess nodded, and said truthfully, "You also know that the Zheng family in Xingyang has plans to enter the court, and I am not too reluctant to marry Yan'er, I heard that Zheng Xiaochun, the sister-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang, has a good character, outstanding appearance, and is also quite talented, so the court is at the time of employing people, if the emperor looks at it and thinks it is okay, it can also be activated" Qin Yu was silent for a moment and said, "My father has not passed a hundred days, and the marriage is not in a hurry to be decided now." ”When the eldest princess heard this, she immediately felt that there was a real problem, and immediately said, "It's just settled now, and the marriage will be completed in a year." ”"The eldest aunt has seen Zheng Xiaochun," Qin Yu asked.The eldest princess shook her head, "I haven't seen it yet, in the past, Mrs.
Min of the Xie family's long room liked him very much, and Mrs.
Right Xiang also valued him very much, both of them had vicious eyes, presumably this person is really good." ”Qin Yu thought for a while and said, "My cousin's marriage is a lifelong event, and we need to be cautious, so let's send someone to pass the decree, and the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang and Zheng Xiaochun will enter Beijing to face the saint, and I will see him face to face." ”The eldest princess glanced left and right, took a deep breath, and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, you tell me the truth, is there really a problem with this Xingyang Zheng family, Yan'er can't marry" Jin Yan kept looking at Qin Yu.Qin Yu put down the teacup and said lightly, "It's not that you can't get married, after all, the eldest princess's mansion is a relative of the emperor, and her cousin is also a golden branch and jade leaf."
It is better to be cautious about marriage, especially now that the situation is unstable and all parties involved, you need to pay more attention. ”The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said with a smile, "The emperor is very right, then send someone to Xuanxingyang Zheng family head and Zheng Xiaochun to enter Beijing, I am such a daughter who hurts in the palm of my hand, her life is a big thing, and it really can't be underestimated." ”Qin Yu bowed his head and shouted "Xiaoquanzi".Koizumiko immediately approached him.Qin Yu gave an order, and Xiaoquanzi responded again and again, and left the Empress Dowager's Palace."
If it's still early today, the eldest aunt and aunt, cousin, and Fanghua finally get together in the mother's harem, so let's stay longer."
Qin Yu said again.The Queen Mother, the eldest princess, and the princess said together, "The emperor is busy with affairs, so let's go and get busy if there is nothing to do here." ”Qin Yu got up to say goodbye and walked out of the Empress Dowager's Palace.As soon as Qin Yu left, Jin Yan grabbed Xie Fanghua and said to her, "I haven't visited the imperial garden in this palace for many days, and I heard that a lot of words have been opened."
Fanghua, if you are not tired, go shopping in the Imperial Garden with me. ”Xie Fanghua knew that Jin Yan was smart, and she was afraid that there were already some problems with Qin Yu and the eldest princess, so she nodded and said with a smile, "I'm not tired." ”"I know that you sisters have something to say when they meet.It's a hot day, so don't get sunburned. ”The eldest princess instructed.Jin Yan responded and pulled Xie Fanghua out of the Queen Mother's Palace
