The Wife is First - 94 Chapter 94 Morning Morning
“You…” Mu Hanzhang was so angry that he couldn’t speak. Even if they were a couple, they were too much for Meng Lang in broad daylight.
Jing Shao loved his shy and annoyed expression so much that he couldn’t help but lean in and kiss his tight lips, saying in a hoarse voice: “Jun Qing, don’t go to court today.”
“How can that be done? Today is the critical moment.” Mu Hanzhang pushed him away and tied the jade belt of his court uniform carefully.
Jing Shao folded his arms and waited leisurely for him to tie it up. When he looked at his prince who was suddenly quiet in confusion, he suddenly picked him up and threw him on the bed.
“Um…what are you doing?” Mu Hanzhang was startled and struggled to get up.
“Jun Qing, I think you have gradually forgotten your duty since becoming a marquis.” Jing Shao rode on that narrow waist, and the jade belt of the court dress was pressed against his thighs, giving off a refreshing coolness.
“Don’t make trouble, it will be too late later.” Mu Hanzhang was a little anxious. Today was the critical moment to decide who to send to Huainan. He had to go to court.
“Look, you really forgot.” Jing Shao said angrily and began to dismantle the repeatedly gorgeous court clothes. The exquisite clothes were layered on top of each other, just like a child taking apart toys. The more he dismantled, the more exciting he became.
“Asshole, no, ah…” Mu Hanzhang struggled to get up, but his strength was far inferior to Jing Shao’s, and he was quickly suppressed by the brave His Highness King Cheng.
When entering, Jing Shao said solemnly: “Remember, you are Princess Cheng first, and Marquis Wenyuan second, so satisfying your husband’s requirements comes before going to court.”
“You… um…” Mu Hanzhang tightened his grip on the sheets beneath him.
The fourth prince waited outside Fengyi Palace for a long time. The eunuch in charge advised him to go to the side hall to rest, but he insisted on waiting outside the door, and his body was already covered with a lot of dew. I heard that Jing Shao had to go to the army and knelt on the jade steps for a day and a night. So now that he wanted to lead the army, he naturally had to show his sincerity.
Emperor Hongzheng was dressed neatly and then tactfully expressed that Jing Yu had been waiting outside for a long time.
“What do you think you are better than Jing Shao?” Emperor Hongzheng glanced at the fourth prince’s dew-stained clothes, and there was a trace of undetectable coldness in his eyes.
“Brother Three Emperors is like a god with his troops, and I am ashamed of myself.” Jing Yu knelt on the ground and said humbly.
“You are somewhat self-aware.” Emperor Hongzheng snorted.
The fourth prince choked. This was a humble statement. Unexpectedly, his father followed his words and affirmed. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it. This moment was the opportunity that his mother had fought for for him. He must Give a reason why he has to do it. Jing Yu took a deep breath, calmed down and said, “Although my son is not as good as the three emperor brothers, I will be an adult soon and want to make contributions like my brothers.”
“Yes, Your Majesty, experience on the battlefield naturally comes from practice.” He then followed up.
“Experience?” Emperor Hongzheng banged the cup he was holding on the table, “Where is Jiangnan? Did you ask Jingyu to use it to practice?”
“Father, calm down!” The fourth prince hurriedly kowtowed. Knowing that this reason could not convince Emperor Hongzheng, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to say, “My son, I have something to tell you!”
Emperor Hongzheng motioned for him to continue, and the fourth prince told half-truths and half-falsehoods about what he knew about Jing Shao’s meeting with King Huainan: “If Brother Three Emperors really has an affair with King Huainan… and is involved, this time If I send the emperor brother there, I’m afraid…”
Emperor Hongzheng looked at him quietly for a while: “The two of them met, but did you see it with your own eyes?”
“Here, the building was already empty when I brought the people there.” The fourth prince did not have enough evidence. Zhao Jiulin told him everything, and he did not dare to go too far. “I just got the news.”
“Who gave you the news?” Emperor Hongzheng stared at the fourth prince closely, his eyes sharp, “I didn’t know that there was someone in the court who gave you the news alone without reporting it to me.”
“This…” The fourth prince suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He only focused on smearing Jing Shao, but he forgot that his father hated the prince for colluding with the courtiers. He gritted his teeth and said bravely, “This is Zhao Jiulin, the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He was born in the south of the Yangtze River. When he came to Beijing to take the exam, The King of Huainan gave him the money to go to the capital, and he ostensibly loyal to the King of Huainan. The son just met Zhao Jiulin by chance on the street, and he said that he seemed to have seen the King of Huainan going to the peach garden in the south of the city, and… the carriage of Chengwang’s palace also Here.” After saying that, he didn’t dare to look up and just stared at the intricately patterned carpet under his knees.
Emperor Hongzheng remained silent, tapping the table with two fingers, and suddenly swept the cups on the table to the ground: “What’s the use of keeping the things you eat inside and outside!”
Not only the fourth prince, but also his successor was frightened and squatted half-crouching, not daring to make a sound.
Jing Shao slowed down his movements and said to the pitiful Duofu outside the door: “Go to the palace to report that Marquis Wenyuan is not feeling well today and cannot go to court.”
“No… um…” Before Mu Hanzhang could finish speaking, the person on his body glanced at him and rubbed the sensitive area viciously and deliberately, forcing him to be speechless and afraid of the door. When the servants heard this, they had to bite their lower lips to silence.
Duofu hurriedly responded, quickly drove away the maids who were waiting for washing and eating, and went to do things hurriedly.
The focus of today’s morning meeting was still on the Huainan fiefdom, and there was already a lot of quarrel over who should be sent there.
Jingchen had been silent, not saying a word from the beginning. The eldest prince had just recovered and still looked a little sick standing there. Emperor Hongzheng didn’t seem to have any intention of listening to his two sons by name. It wasn’t until the courtier who strongly recommended the fourth prince mentioned various reasons why he had to be the fourth prince that he slowly said “accurate report”.
There was silence in the court for a moment before everyone came to their senses. The fourth prince, Jing Yu, suppressed his joy and bowed respectfully: “I will do my best to conquer Huainan for my father!”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fourth prince is interested in the flat terrain in the south of the Yangtze River, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and wants to earn a prince title. However, King Cheng, who has worked hard and achieved great results, is still confined to the palace of Prince Cheng, so the fourth prince takes advantage of him. , couldn’t help but sympathize with him. Several courtiers who were familiar with Mu Hanzhang wanted to say a few words of comfort, but found that Marquis Wenyuan was not there on such an important occasion today.
Marquis Wenyuan, who was forcibly stripped of his court clothes by his own prince and unable to go to court, unexpectedly escaped the sympathy or mocking greetings from everyone.
The fourth prince set out to conquer the south of the Yangtze River, and the overall situation was decided. After that, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and became much more friendly towards the concubines who he usually disliked. The fourth prince is even more high-spirited and actively preparing for the expedition every day. The fourth prince’s mansion has also been very busy recently.
In comparison, the Mansion of Prince Cheng Wenyuan was more than a little deserted.
