Spring Forest Evening

After saying this, seeing that Shen Fu's ears were not only red, but his face was also red, Uncle He hurriedly explained:

"My lord, don't get me wrong. Uncle He didn't mean to tease you. He just thought that if he wanted to win you over from other parties, he would definitely not attack Miss Zhou. Removing her would just leave the position of Concubine Jing empty. Originally, the Zhou family went to ask for the marriage from the Empress Dowager, and the Shen family accepted it because of their kinship, Princess Jing can't do it, and the position of side concubine is still vacant."

"But the other party is doing this now, but it is clear that they want to find you another candidate for the princess. Judging from the previous events, the other party's plan is this way."

"In the beginning, it was estimated that the concubine of the Zhou family persuaded Miss Zhou to make a fuss so that you would not accept the side concubine, and then got rid of Miss Zhou. This matter, no matter how you look at it, is because of the position of Princess Jing. No matter you and the Zhou family How about Miss's feelings, then, I can only say that the target is nothing more than you."

Speaking of this, seeing that Shen Fu blushed and did not say a word, but did not stop himself from continuing to speak, he knew that the prince must have already thought of this, but he did not say it out of face, so he did not shy away from it right now. , trying to be serious and continued:

"Originally, if someone wants Xiao Xiang to be the side concubine, after all Miss Zhou is a marriage bestowed by the queen mother and it is difficult to overthrow it, then it can also be understood that someone wants to use the help of someone to win you over to Xiao Xiangjing's mansion, such as those few People who have ideas about the position in the palace, but even the road to side concubine must be cut off first, A Fu, we can actually make a good guess about the person behind the scenes, don't you think?"

"That is to say, the other party really has a crush on you, so don't be embarrassed. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's just the other party's wishful thinking that you are doing right and straight."

"Such a person is qualified to be a concubine, has the ability to commit crimes in the daytime, and is still in the boudoir. He must be able to count them on one finger. Uncle He naturally doesn't understand this aspect. If you think about it carefully, you will have it." Which noble ladies?"

Seeing that Shen Fu still didn't say a word, his face had faded a little now, and his ears were still red, so he tried his best to put on a sullen face and asked again: "Or...in fact, who is it in your mind?"

It's really funny. It was a murder case that made people feel appalling. I didn't expect it to be the thought of a noble girl who couldn't ask for it. Alas, power hurts people. If you want to put ordinary people away, it will hurt lovesickness. The girl cried a few times at most and then gave up helplessly. She was incompetent, and Prince Jing's mansion would not be able to mess with her.

Thinking about it this way, I am a little curious about this noble girl again. Girls from ordinary families, looking for a good son-in-law like Prince Jing, with the Queen Mother bestowing a marriage first, at most they just beg their elders to come forward. It's all just wronging myself to be a side concubine, how could she rob her so ruthlessly?

The key point is that this matter cannot be accomplished by relying on a girl's family, and I still have to rely on the help of the family. Could it be that the family is so vicious?

Anyway, up to now, it can basically be concluded that it has nothing to do with the Zhou family, and that Miss Zhou is completely innocent.

First, I raised my head and thought about the possible family, but unfortunately I am not a member of the imperial court, not to mention that this also involves the daughter of the boudoir in the other party's family. Once again, I am glad that I rejected the old prince's suggestion that I want to serve in the court.

This dynasty has lasted for a hundred years, so it goes without saying that Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, was the later Emperor Wu, who was also a figure who worked hard to govern. Compared with the previous dynasty, the territory has expanded a lot. The border is stable, and the people will naturally be able to live and work in peace and contentment. , but now, let alone the emperor, the few princes below seem not to be able to take on great responsibilities. In the past few years, they have grown up and opened their houses one after another, and there are increasingly undercurrents among them.

At the beginning, Uncle He thought of this as the dispute between the princes. The emperor was in the prime of his life, so it was a little premature to say that the battle for the crown prince was a bit premature, but the strength of Prince Jing's mansion lies there. It has been operated for many years. It is better to say that he is loyal to the imperial court than he is loyal to Prince Jing's mansion. Although A Fu is afraid of making the emperor jealous, he has been following the old prince's orders all these years, working in the Ministry of War with peace of mind, and has never been out of the capital. Winning over Prince Jing's mansion is like adding wings to a tiger, I think those princes all understand the truth.

Unexpectedly, this matter is actually not that complicated. After a long time, a spoiled and self-willed girl fell in love with Shen Fu, and she insisted on making him Princess Jing... However, it is not too early to say, maybe it is not. It's not that the girl who fell in love with Shen Fu was cruel, it's just that her thoughts were known and taken advantage of by others...

People who have the ability to do such cruel things in such an open place as Liuhu in broad daylight are not stupid. Just now, I was thinking too simply.

After thinking about it along this line of thought, Uncle He felt that it is better to be careful when sailing for thousands of years. What if this matter is caused by someone with a heart behind his back?

For example, the girl's family is actually very powerful, but if there are other powerful people who can't help but do their best to help, then don't they just do whatever they want?

For another example, maybe the father and brother in the girl's family are in high positions and disdain to let the girl be a side concubine. In addition, she is close to a certain prince, and the girl may not even know it, but because of the men's greed for power , was used as a lure for no reason?

Of course, the worst situation is that everyone has ideas about Prince Jing's Mansion, some want the position of Concubine Jing, and some want the Yasukuni Army behind Prince Jing's Mansion as a support...

What's more, it's not actually the prince, let alone someone's girl, what if, what if it's just the man in the palace who has other thoughts about Ah Fu?

The old prince has passed away for three years, and Ah Fu has now served in the military department, and has a very good reputation. The heart of the emperor is unpredictable!

After all, the empress dowager is at best the emperor's aunt, not the biological mother, so what if the empress dowager bestows a marriage?Didn't look at the three princesses born out of the queen mother, who are not too young now, but haven't recruited a concubine?

The emperor is known as the most filial person, how can he watch the marriage of the most honorable royal sister procrastinated and remain indifferent?You know, the queen mother is even a few years younger than the emperor. The third princess can be said to have been born and raised under the eyes of the emperor. Let the boy roll off the bed, and he alone asked the emperor to ask the third emperor girl who just knew how to climb to roll himself off the bed. Whatever he said, he hoped to have such a lovely daughter like Yuxue in the future.

In the next few years, it was also a coincidence that the concubines and concubines in his mansion took turns to give birth to sons for him, and the eldest son of the emperor used this as an excuse to go to the palace all day long to pick up the third imperial sister and live there for a while. They are as old as a father and daughter, and their relationship is very compatible. It is very comforting to see the old emperor.

Of course, in the emperor's family, everything is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Over time, everyone speculates in private, saying that the second prince is also a slanted sword. Knowing that the old emperor likes the middle-aged daughter-in-law, he is worried. After her death, the young queen, who had no son by her side, was neglected by the succeeding emperor, so she used practical actions to secretly express her loyalty.

What's more, the queen's natal family is not an ordinary family. The father in the family is the governor of Zhongnan Road, which is also a help.

Of course, in view of the fact that there is an equally capable first prince who has been established as the crown prince, and the princess's natal family is stationed at the General's Mansion on the southwest border, for a while, everyone is not very optimistic about the second prince, thinking that his chances are slim.

After all, since the time of Emperor Wudi, there was a prince who had a descendant, a prince who had no descendant, and a prince who had both a descendant and a prince. As long as he didn't make too outrageous mistakes, he should be the future emperor no matter how he looked at it.

But things were so unexpected. During a hunt in the palace later, the prince who had always been good at riding and shooting fell off his horse somehow.

It doesn't matter if you fell off the horse, but there were a few rocks underneath at that time, and the eldest prince knocked his head on the rocks, and when he was sent back to the camp for treatment, he woke up and found that his head was severely injured. He couldn't remember many things, and he became confused .

In this way, although the old emperor was in his prime at that time, while regretting the crown prince, even though the crown prince had two grandsons under his knees at that time, and the eldest grandson of the emperor had already been enlightened, he still changed the second prince as the second prince after half a year. Prince.

Later, the old emperor passed away and the empress was promoted to empress dowager. The new emperor was very filial and respectful to this aunt, and even the third princess who was loved by him since childhood was still affectionate. For this reason, it is said that even the empress dowager herself could not stand it. It is suggested that the emperor follow the precedent of the eldest princess and the second princess, and let the third imperial sister go out of the palace to live in the princess mansion that has been prepared for her long ago.

The emperor just didn't allow it, and he acted like a big brother who was worried and unwilling to part with his younger sister. The queen mother felt angry and funny, but she had no choice but to let it go.

It's just that the marriage of the three princesses has been delayed because of this. Of course, at present, most of the eyes of the royal siblings are higher than the top. The emperor has always said that he will choose "the best man in the world" for the three princesses. The princess herself is said to be excellent in riding and archery, but after thinking about it, she really couldn't find a concubine who could look up to her.

Thinking of this, Uncle He also paused: Could it be that the third princess has taken a fancy to Ah Fu?

But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was not possible. The third princess seemed to be about the same age as that young lady of the Zhou family. If she wanted to marry Shen Fu, the emperor should have mentioned it to the old prince at that time, so it would not be necessary to use such methods now.

But the two little princesses born by the emperor himself... Uh, they should be less than ten years old now, right?That's impossible!

But no matter what, it is correct that this matter is aimed at Prince Jing's mansion!

It is still necessary to find out the people behind the scenes as soon as possible, otherwise the Prince Jing's mansion will really be a disaster!

Thinking of this, Uncle He was gearing up a bit, he didn't expect that Bigu would have such an errand waiting for him when he came back: "Then what, my lord, let's not wait any longer, although this matter is a matter of taking a step at a time, looking at it now, it's still pretty good." Simple!"

At the same time, he talked about his new thinking just now.

Shen Fu actually thought of all kinds of complicated situations behind it, but because of some things he knew earlier, he still had some differences with Uncle He's thinking now, but the two of them had the same thinking in the general direction. After analysis, he said: "Though there are only some small people in Tangquan Town, the real big people might be in those Huangzhuang. In this way, Uncle He happened to go over and see who is going to deal with Prince Jing's Mansion!"

After that, they called Mu Yun and the others to come in, and told Chen Feng to follow Uncle He to go to the hot spring village. As the captain of the guard, Mu Yun was inconvenient to follow, but he also told him the specific arrangement. The two met Shen Fu and his family. The masters all had serious expressions on their faces, knowing that this time was of great importance, they all accepted it solemnly.

The outer study room has been agreed, and seeing that it was almost dusk, Shen Fu went to the inner courtyard again...
