After school, Zhou Jingling and the prince went to the study to practice calligraphy together.The bookcase was full of booklets, and Zhou Jingling stepped forward and picked up one casually and opened it to see.Lin Yashu, sixteen years old, the daughter of Lin Zheng, the household servant, ranked fifth, known for her virtuous and virtuous virtues, and could be selected as the crown princess in the capital.Big pig's trotters!
Scumbag!
Just promised him not to marry the crown princess two days ago, and now the list of candidates for the crown princess has come out.Zhou Jingling was angry, his hand holding the booklet tightened unconsciously, and smashed the bent booklet into the prince's arms, and said angrily: Aren't you not married?
He also randomly selected one from the mountain of booklets on the bookcase, the concubine of the Fuguo family.He smoked another one, the concubine of the Yin family of Shuntian Mansion.Draw another one, and the information printed on it is still the official woman who chose the crown princess.Zhou Jingling smashed these pamphlets on the prince, and said angrily: You explain to me.The prince quickly read the booklet, came to Zhou Jingling's side, and explained: I only like you alone, and I will never marry the crown princess.These are all arranged by my father, and when the time comes, I will just go through the motions and choose no one.Zhou Jingling looked at him and said, "I believe you for the time being."
If he deceives him, he will immediately complete the task, get out of this world, and break with him.The prince called a few eunuchs and ordered them: "Remove all these pamphlets, and don't let me see them again."
The eunuchs removed all the pamphlets in a few moments.The prince came to Zhou Jingling's side and sat down, and said, "Don't you think there is something strange about this?"
A year ago, my father urged me to marry the crown princess, but I politely refused on the spot, saying that I would start a family after the crown, and my father agreed at that time.Two days ago, I suddenly repented, I must have been affected by the rumors outside, worried that I would be bewitched by you and have no children in the future, and the society would be uneasy.Zhou Jingling said: So, the rumors between you and me were deliberately spread by someone.slandered the prince and beheaded the public.The communicator must be a person who is not afraid of death, or someone who has the ability to escape punishment.There are very few of the former, but there are a lot of them.The rumor started when he and the crown prince attended the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Wu'an together half a month ago, and judging from the situation at that time, all the young ladies of the official eunuchs present could be the communicators.She fell in love with the crown prince, but the prince never planned to marry the crown princess, and she would get married after a while, and after marrying, she would not be eligible to participate in the selection of the crown princess.So she spread rumors about him and the crown prince and forced the prince to choose a concubine.Then she could become the crown princess.She is a woman from an official eunuch family, powerful and powerful, and there are subordinates who are willing to take the blame for her, even if she is discovered, punishment will not come to her.Another important point is that she has blind confidence in herself and feels that she will definitely be selected.For those who meet these conditions, Zhou Jingling first reflected the figure of her sister Ye Fei in her mind.At that time, he and the prince were on the way to leave the Wu'an Hou Mansion, Ye Fei suddenly appeared and stopped the prince, intending to seduce him.The crown prince rejected her on the spot, but she was unwilling, thinking that her wasteful brother Ye Xi could win the favor of the prince, and she would definitely be able to.So he spread rumors, forced the prince to choose a concubine, and by the way, used the pressure of public opinion to force the prince to stay away from him.It's really self-defeating, and I don't have self-knowledge.Zhou Jingling said to the prince: I guessed the approximate candidate, that person may be my sister Ye Fei.The crown prince called the trust is guard and ordered: Immediately go and find out who spread the rumors between me and the prince, and focus on investigating Ye Fei, the daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an.Chapter 30 More than twenty days later, the selection of the crown princess began.A total of 135 women ran for the election, and after a series of selections, there are still 100 women left.These women, led by the palace maids, entered the small garden of the prince's east palace in an orderly manner.Although the weather is late autumn, the sun is shining.These women are slender and graceful, they are dressed in brocade clothes, all wearing delicate jewelry, and they all stand by the pond, becoming a beautiful scenery that cannot be ignored.When everything was ready, the prince and Zhou Jingling entered the pavilion in the garden hand in hand.They peeked at the prince without a trace, and when they saw the prince holding the hand of the prince of Wu'an, they only felt that it should be so.These days, they have been brainwashed by the rumors outside, and they all think that the prince of Wu'an Hou is the face of the prince.The male style of Dawei is prevalent, and it is not uncommon for men to raise a few noodles.After the prince sat down, the first woman came in with graceful steps.She bowed slightly to the prince, her posture was elegant and moving.She looked at the prince gently, and said affectionately: See the prince, the little woman's name is Ji Ning'er, she is the daughter of Prime Minister Ji, ranked third, and she is good at The prince suddenly raised his hand and interrupted her: Next.Ji Ning'er glared at the prince and Zhou Jingling, and retreated unwillingly.Zhou Jingling looked at Ji Ning'er and was stunned, it was the prince who interrupted her unkindly, why did she stare at him?
He just sat here and drank tea and did nothing!
Ji Ning'er, who is the most likely to be elected as the crown princess, came back, and the girl on the side of the Ji family asked her: Sister, have you been selected?
In front of so many outsiders, she can't lose her temper, and she can't let outsiders know that her virtuous and virtuous virtues are all pretended.Ji Ning'er smiled and said softly: No.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Prime Minister Ji Cheng was in power and was a loyal supporter of the prince, and his concubine Ji Ning'er was not selected, and it seemed that the princess was chosen without looking at the background.They have a little more chance.The second is Song Yun, the granddaughter of the British duke, although the British duke is not as powerful as the prime minister's family, but the British duke has a high title, and his ancestors have fought with the first emperor, with great achievements and a deep family heritage.Song Yun raised her head and glanced at Ji Ning'er, and walked into the pavilion confidently.She blessed her body and said softly: See His Royal Highness the Prince.Before she could show herself, the prince immediately waved his hand.The eunuch immediately raised his voice and said, "Next."
Song Yun walked out in a huff.The remaining ninety-eight candidates were relieved when they saw Song Yun's expression, it seems that the choice of the crown princess does not depend on the power and fame of the family, but only on the appearance.They have a little more chance.Then another girl entered, and then came out with a lonely expression.Immediately after the next one, the next one.In the end, the girls were about halfway in, and none of them were chosen.The girls were ranked in descending order according to their family power, but none of the top 50 were selected.The family background of the remaining fifty women is not obvious, or they are the concubines of high-ranking families.They didn't feel any crisis, and they all secretly looked forward to being chosen by the crown prince, and since then they have flown up the branches and become phoenixes, bringing glory to the family.Ye Fei is one of them.She was very confident in her appearance, and she had also met the prince, although the process was unpleasant, and she was ridiculed by the prince.But she thinks that the prince just laughed at her, did not punish her, and must have cared about her.She can definitely become the crown princess.In order to add an extra layer of protection, she coerced and lured the eunuch to help her call Zhou Jingling.Zhou Jingling was tasting tea, and it was too boring to accompany the prince to choose a concubine, so he had to taste tea.He was almost finished drinking a pot of tea, and he drank it a little bit.The eunuch came to tell him at this time that his sister Ye Fei was in a hurry to find him.You don't have to think about it to know what Ye Fei came to him for.It's nothing more than the matter of choosing the crown princess.Go and meet, let her die of this heart, and by the way, avenge the original owner for being bullied by her over the years.Zhou Jingling got up and followed the eunuch to a remote corner.Ye Fei has not yet arrived.Let him wait for her, is this the attitude of begging?
After a while, Ye Fei was late.As soon as she arrived, she ordered him: I heard that you are a popular person next to the prince, and the prince will listen to your opinions, you go and talk to the prince and let him choose me as the crown princess.Ye Feimo is not a brain problem.It's all now, he and the Hou Mansion who often bullied him have completely torn their faces, and she still thinks that he is the one who only obeyed her orders before, and let her bully Ye Xi, the prince of the Hou Mansion who didn't dare to fight back?
Zhou Jingling sneered and said mockingly: Why should I help you?
Is it to make it easier for you to bully me after you become the crown princess?
Or do you want to find yourself a rival in love?
What's wrong with him?
How dare you disobey her orders?
Ye Fei raised his hand and went to hit him.Zhou Jingling grabbed her hand and pushed hard, and Ye Fei fell to the ground with a thud.He looked at Ye Fei lying on the ground, and said that he was really weak!
How did the original owner be bullied and scolded by her for more than ten years?
Ye Xi, that waste, actually beat her?
Ye Fei quickly stood up, raised his foot and kicked him, and said angrily at the same time: How can this be reasonable, you waste dare to beat Miss Ben, don't you want to live?
Zhou Jingling dodged unhurriedly and continued to mock: Miss Ye has something to ask me for today, isn't Miss Ye not as good as me?
After taking revenge on her a little, and alleviating some of the grievances caused by the memory of the original owner, Zhou Jingling was in a good mood and said happily: I still have something to do, go first, Miss Ye asks for more blessings.Don't leave.Ye Fei hurriedly said.You are a man, you can't have children, the prince's favor for you is only temporary, there will always be a day when you are disgusted with you, and the princess will never let go of you, the person who bewitched the prince.If I become the crown princess, I will never embarrass you in the future.If the prince doesn't choose a woman, no one will be the crown princess.Zhou Jingling said disappreciatively: Don't bother you.After saying that, he left straight away.Ye Fei returned to the pond with a gloomy face, at this time, the prince had not yet chosen a woman, and there were only more than thirty women who did not appear.There are only so many left, and with her own appearance, she will definitely be chosen.And she is different from other women, she has had a relationship with the prince, although the process is not very pleasant, but the prince must remember her.When she becomes the crown princess, it will be Ye Xi's death.After a while, it was Ye Fei's turn, she walked in slowly, and said softly: The little girl participates in His Royal Highness the Prince.The prince changed his normal state and no longer waved his hand, but said in person: Tell your mother for me, I know all her tricks, step down, I will never choose you.Ye Fei retreated unwillingly.I hated her mother a little in my heart, so I had to think crookedly at this time, so that she couldn't be the crown princess.Two quarters of an hour later, the last woman who had not gone to see the prince had gone in, and she walked in with great excitement.She is the only one left, and the crown prince has not yet elected the crown princess, and the position of the crown princess must be her.The others looked at her coldly, thinking that the crown prince would not choose her as the crown princess.Because she has a family background and no family background, she is only average among them in terms of appearance.The prince will choose her only if he is blind.After a while, she came out with a lonely expression, and at a glance she knew that she had not been chosen.The other women were a little gloating and angry at the same time.The selection of the crown princess made such a big battle, and in the end no one was chosen, isn't this playing with them?
But it is a felony to talk about the prince in vain, and they only dare to complain in their hearts, but they dare not say it.The crown prince did not elect the crown princess, and the eunuchs did not dare to let these women go.They immediately went to the emperor to pay their respects.After a while, a decree came from the Zhengde Palace, urgently summoning the prince over.After the prince arrived at Zhengde Palace, he felt ashamed.What he has done these days is really not worthy of the emperor.He knelt down and bowed, and said, "The son sees his father."
The emperor didn't let him get up, pointed at him, and said angrily: You rebel, you didn't choose a hundred women, and you were still eye-to-eyeing with the prince of Wu'an Hou when you were still choosing the crown princess.The love of broken sleeves is normal, and he doesn't care if the prince and the prince of Wu'an are together.He was angry that the prince did not marry the crown princess for the sake of the prince of Wu'an.Unfilial piety is greater, not to mention the royal family, and the heirs are related to the country.He roared at the crown prince and said, "How do you ask me to explain to the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military hundred crowns?
How do you give an account to your fathers and fathers?
The prince said calmly: Don't explain.Since the father's illness reduced the number of the last dynasty and the ban on the fifth brother, almost all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have defected to the command of the son, and they will only think that the son-infatuation with Ye Xi for a while, and they will not be too embarrassed by the son-in-law.The emperor was so angry that the prince trembled and was speechless.The crown prince added: Among these officials, including the commander of the forbidden army in the capital.Mastering the forbidden army is equivalent to mastering the capital, which is simply a rebellion.The emperor picked up the teacup and smashed it on the prince, glared at him, and said angrily: You rebel, it's the opposite.The prince remained motionless, allowing the porcelain teacup to be smashed on him.But the emperor couldn't bear to beat him, and the teacup fell beside him.The prince said: Father, don't be angry, don't you love your fifth brother the most.In a few years, if the fifth brother has a son, I will train one or two of them well, and pass on the throne to them in the future.The emperor put his hands on his forehead and thought about how to deal with the crisis in front of him.The forbidden army was responsible for protecting the palace and the capital.Now that the crown prince is in control of the capital and the palace, without the permission of the prince, the holy decree he promulgated cannot leave the palace at all.If you want to fight with the prince, you can only transfer the 200,000 soldiers and horses from the border pass to the capital.However, after transferring the soldiers and horses from the border pass, the foreign enemy will definitely wait for the opportunity to move, and he is in danger.There is no solution to this matter.Half an hour later, the emperor said to the prince: Don't kneel here, it's annoying to see you.Go to the ancestral ancestral hall and kneel, without my order, you are not allowed to get up.The prince said: Erchen received the order.After kneeling for so long, his legs were numb, and he slowly got up with the support of the eunuch and set off for the ancestral ancestral hall.Chapter 31 After the prince left, the emperor ordered everyone to retreat, and ordered the chief eunuch to say: The prince of Wu'an Hou has misbehaved and bewitched the prince, and his crime should be punished, you don't make a noise, and secretly go to execute.The chief eunuch said respectfully on the surface: The old slave obeys.In fact, he was already the prince's man.He immediately went to the East Palace and secretly told the guards of the East Palace that the emperor had ordered him to kill the Hou Shizi of Wu'an.Then he replied to the emperor, and the Hou Shizi of Wu'an was heavily guarded, and he had no chance to take advantage of it.Ye Fei returned to the Wu'an Hou Mansion all the way in a huff, and after getting out of the carriage, she immediately went to Mrs.
Wu's Yinyan Pavilion.She walked over angrily and reproached: Mother, I blame you, I was not elected as the crown princess.Mrs.
Wu was chanting the Buddha when she heard the words and stopped, and said angrily: What do you blame me?
It's that you're not competitive enough.Ye Fei casually found a seat and sat down, wanting to argue with her mother.The prince himself said that you have done bad things, so he will never choose me as the crown princess.Mrs.
Wu secretly wondered, could it be that the rumor that she spread the prince was known to the prince?
So what?
