Chapter 330(2/3)

Yongchun shook his head and said, "I didn't ask. Then the emperor's brother learned about the conspiracy of An's family and was furious. He immediately sent Liu Jin to An's mansion to search the house. He heard that Yang Ling was also scolded by the emperor because of the inappropriate marriage choice."

When Princess Yongfu heard this, she said unhappily: "It's not his own business to choose a princess. Why doesn't the uncle scold him? If it were the queen of the mother, what's the matter with Yangling? If it weren't for him, wouldn't it harm me?"

Yongchun laughed dryly, and Zhu Xianger and Zhu Xianger were both patrolling their eyes and dared not look at her. They didn't dare to let their sister know that she was pretending to be her intention behind the screen.

Princess Yongfu thought for a while and said, "Xiuting, Xiang'er, go to your mother's place and see what the emperor said. Don't make a fuss. Come back early to tell me if you have news!"

"Okay!" When the two little gossips agreed happily, they rushed to Cining Palace.

Princess Yongfu sat at the table with her cheeks in her hands, her eyes as if she had not woken up. After a while, a pair of black eyebrows that looked like a distant mountain were locked in a faint mist of sorrow again. She gently stroked the handkerchief tied to the palm of her other hand, feeling the pain that penetrated her heart.

This handkerchief is her close-fitting thing. It is something that Yang Ling gave to her, and it has the breath of Yang Ling on it. Since she returned to her hands, she has regarded it as something that Yang Ling gave to her, and has always cherished it and kept it close to her body. Now, her own blood is stained with it, and in her heart, it seems that she and Yang Ling are in harmony.

The local crisis has passed, and the torture of heartbreak has disappeared. She really doesn't want to have another one, but as she grows older, how can this be avoided? What should I do, God can fulfill me? The combination of heaven is made, and the combination of heaven is made. I wonder if he swallowed my marriage letter, which is considered a marriage?

Princess Yongfu sat in the boudoir and began to think about it...

Yang Ling first went to the place of Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, and finally came to Wuying Hall to see Jiao Fang. Jiao Fang listened to Yang Ling's story, pinched her beard and pondered for a while, shook her head and sighed: "The Duke is careless. This is a good opportunity. The An family is determined to win the prince-consort, and will never only ask Bi Zhen. I am afraid that Bi Zhen will be in charge. There are many eunuchs in the palace who help the An family together.

Especially Ma Yongcheng, Bi Zhen is Liu Jin's person, and he is Liu Jin's person. If you use this as a breakthrough, it might be a chance to overthrow Liu Jin. You must know that the emperor hates someone who deceives his trust and hurts his closest relatives the most."

Yang Ling was stunned and said suddenly: "Oh, I rushed into the palace at that time, and was anxious. I finally grabbed the wedding letter and fought another bad battle. How could I calm down and think so much? Now I can't......"

When Ma Yongcheng hit the head of a female official in the Princess's Mansion with a stick, killing her, and suddenly the scene floated in front of her. Yang Ling suddenly stopped talking. At this moment, it was too late to rush there. Ma Yongcheng would definitely use the same trick again and kill Bi Zhen to silence him. With his energy, it is certainly not difficult to find an excuse to bribe the ears and eyes.

Seeing that he had already understood, Jiao Fang said regretfully: "The opportunity was fleeting. If the Duke of the State had been betrayed the holy grace, he volunteered to make contributions to investigate this case of fraud, followed the clues, took the opportunity to correct all other problems. Maybe Zhang Cai, Ma Yongcheng, and Liu Jin, both inside and outside, could be defeated.

In the officialdom, a small thing is a suitable opportunity to cooperate with the right time and create momentum, which is an opportunity to set off a huge wave of opportunities and take the opportunity to scoop up powerful political enemies into the bottomless abyss. It was originally a trick to kill three birds with one stone, but now... it seems that we have to endure it and wait for the opportunity."

Yang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Jin's troubles are not big enough now, and he has not offended enough people. The case happened in the palace. Even if I intervened, the criminals would only hand them over to the third factory and one guard. Before I could find out, Liu Jin could find a way to turn a living mouth into a dead mouth. Liu Jin is still a solid part of Liu Jin now. If the time is not right, he will not be able to cause any storm. Otherwise, if he doesn't do it well, he will have to die."

Seeing Jiao Fang still pondering, he joked: "Okay, my elder brother, I can't kill three birds with one stone, and I can just shoot one eye at a time. Just find an opportunity to win the commander of the central army. Besides, Liu Jin and Zhang Cai are only one bird at most. Where can I get three birds to fight?"

Jiao Fang stroked her beard and was thinking about her thoughts. After hearing this, she was stunned and then she came back to her senses. She couldn't help but laugh, and her worried expression on her face became relaxed.

He smiled and said, "The disciples are not thinking about it. Since the opportunity has been lost, it is useless to think about it. What the disciples are thinking about is another matter. The Duke of the State cannot leave the government for a long time, and he is afraid of changes. However, he cannot hold power openly, otherwise Liu Jin will find it difficult to restrain himself. The Duke of the State will put it into vain after a hard work. The subordinates think...... This may be a good opportunity. It will not arouse Liu Jin's suspicion..."

He bowed and said, "Duke, the disciples will go to Cining Palace to meet the emperor first. See how the Empress Dowager and the Emperor want to solve this problem. The disciples will act according to the opportunity and look for opportunities!"

In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang's face turned pale and was walking in the hall quickly. The phoenix hairpin on her head trembled slightly. Emperor Zhengde sat on her head with his lips pursed, without saying a word. The three great scholars sat on both sides, lowering their eyebrows and eyes, like clay sculptures, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely heavy.

After a while of silence, Emperor Zhengde couldn't hold back his anger. He coughed and said, "My dear friends, you are talking, what should you do now?"

Yang Tinghe looked around and bowed, "I think..."

As soon as he said this, Ma Yongcheng hurriedly ran in and knelt down on the spot: "Emperor, I will return the order."

Zhengde stood up suddenly and said sternly: "Did that bastard Bi Zhen bring it?"

Ma Yongcheng hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Bi Chun heard that the matter was exposed and committed suicide fearing the crime. When the old slave took him out of the well, he drowned."

Zhengde was stunned and murmured, "Die?" He sat back on the chair and said deflatedly, "Get up! He knew the situation, it was really cheap for him!"

Bi Zhen really committed suicide. It turned out that he was a gangster before entering the palace. One time he was not open and offended the local tyrants and couldn't survive. Then he cruelly enthroned himself and entered the palace to become a eunuch. Before entering the palace, he married a wife and had two sons and one daughter. Not many people know about this, but Ma Yongcheng knew the truth. He could do it too. But if he could force Bi Zhen to commit suicide, wouldn't that be more perfect?

So Ma Yongcheng found Bi Zhen first and then the army. Today, he had to die even if he wanted to die, but he had to die even if he didn't want to die. Don't drag others down to protect his family. Otherwise, your family will be all over, and your son and daughter will be ruined. Bi Zhen was desperate and could only jump into the well and commit suicide. Ma Yongcheng only moved his mouth, his hands were clean, and he was not afraid of his words when he replied.

Ma Yongcheng stood up, retreated to the corner of the wall, secretly peeking at the crowd with his eyes. Yang Tinghe coughed twice, and said, "Emperor, I think...... An's family deceived the king and his crimes are unforgivable. Fortunately, the marriage letter was not issued, which was not hindered from the princess' reputation. However, the princess's wedding is known to everyone, and it is a joke. Therefore...... I think I should immediately choose one of the other two candidate princesses sent to the Imperial Academy to settle the marriage. The dust settles, the princess is at ease, and there is less noise among the people."

Empress Dowager Zhang's expression moved when she heard this. She sat back on the phoenix chair and thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's not too late to make up for the skeleton. Now, only by choosing another son-in-law to calm down this matter, can the royal family save some face. Prince, what do you think?"

Zhengde nodded, Jiao Fang also nodded and said, "Sir Yang is talking about it. I also think it is better to cut the mess quickly and finish this matter as soon as possible!"

Empress Dowager Zhang moved her phoenix eyes to Li Dongyang and said softly: "What do Grand Secretary Li think?"

Li Dongyang had his eyebrows slightly locked and hesitated: "I have no objection, but today I chose a princess. I was actually confused by a rebel who was seriously ill, which almost ruined the princess's life. Your Highness must be worried when he heard this. I think at this extraordinary moment, should you invite Your Highness Yongfu and ask your highness in person, whether you are willing to choose your husband now, or wait for peace and calm down?"

Empress Dowager Zhang remembered that her daughter was sad when she heard about this cowardly incident today. She couldn't help but sigh deeply and nodded, "The Grand Secretary is extremely worried. Ma Yongcheng, go and invite Princess Yongfu to Cining Palace."

Princess Yongfu walked in slowly with her cloud sleeves and bowed to the Empress Dowager Yingying: "Yongfu met his mother, the emperor's brother."

Zhengde hurriedly said, "Get up, get up, cough! Yumei, uh... Do you know what happened in the Qianqing Palace?"

Princess Yongfu said calmly: "When General Ma said something, Yongfu seemed to be greedy for Ronghua and cheated on the marriage letter. The matter was exposed and all of them were taken to the heavenly prison, right?"

Seeing her calm face, Zhengde said that she was too sad and became more uneasy and said, "My sister, you... don't be sad. I and my mother, the three adults, are planning to choose another good son-in-law for you. What do you think?"

Yongfu had already taken a small path and ran back to Yongchun. Xiang'er reported that she had made up her mind to stop her life from being so ridiculously mercilessly, and she no longer wanted to suffer the torture of the soul.

Yongfu lowered his eyes and said quietly: "The An family is unworthy, but the marriage letter has been given, and the status has been determined. The husband has the meaning of remarrying, but the wife has no right to write a woman. The way for a woman to establish herself is to be honest. As a royal princess, Yongfu should set an example. The wedding letter contains my name and birth date. Since it has been handed over to others, how can I take it back? Thank you for your concern, the emperor's sister... I still want to marry the land!"

"Ah! Hehehe..." Emperor Zhengde clapped his hands and stood up happily: "You don't have to worry about Yumei. The wedding letter has never been handed over to the An family. Haha, so the marriage cannot be done accurately."

Yongfu blinked and asked, "Oh? Isn't the emperor lying to me?"

"Hey~~~, Jun Wuji, how could my brother deceive you?"

"Then... bring it to me!" A plain white hand reached under Zhengde's nose.

"Uh...", Zhengde took a step back awkwardly: "This...wedding book was eaten by Yang Ling...."

"Hey!" Princess Yongfu sighed quietly, and then knelt back to the ground with grievances: "Yongfu knew that his mother, the emperor's brother could not bear to suffer, so he was good at bullying each other, and Yongfu was grateful in his heart. But the meaning of a woman ended up in one go. The marriage letter was not food, so how could he swallow it? The emperor's brother should not lie to me."

Queen Mother Zhang said with politeness: "Yongfu, your emperor brother didn't lie to you, the wedding letter was really eaten by Yang Ling."

"If my daughter doesn't believe it, the wedding letter is Yongfu's innocence. Whoever the wedding letter is, the daughter should be... Wife." Yongfu stared at the tip of his nose. When he said this, it seemed that a wild horse suddenly broke out under his chest, running wildly inside, and his whole body was in the middle of the war.

This sentence is indeed the most courageous, shameful, and... the most enjoyable sentence she has ever said in her life.

When the three Grand Secretary heard this, he seemed to have Alzheimer's disease at the same time, his eyes were dull and his muscles were loose. Li Dongyang looked at the sky, Yang Tinghe looked at the ground, and Jiao Fang stared at his fingernails with relish, as if it was a peerless article!

Empress Dowager Zhang stood up with a look of anger and looked as if she was angry: "My daughter is a dignified princess. How can she say this? None of the three major officials will say it out loud, but this is a shameful scandal after all. When did my daughter become so brave and so embarrassed? I felt strange in the stage that day. My daughter really secretly liked the surname Yang Di!"

There was only one Zhu Houzhao, who had not yet understood his sister's thoughts. He was overjoyed there: "I am so beautiful as a girl. Are you afraid that someone will come up with a marriage letter in the future and fight for the prince-consort? That marriage letter is in Yang Ling's belly, and it has long been soaked in the ground that no one can recognize him. Yu... Yu......"

He looked around and suddenly realized that everyone was a little abnormal, and he couldn't help but say strangely: "What happened?"

Empress Dowager Zhang rolled her sleeves and shook her pink face, and she shouted: "Immediately pass on the order of the Ai family. Recalling Chen Hui and Sun Shibo back to the palace, and the Ai family, the emperor and the three great scholars chose the princess for the princess! Ma Yongcheng will help the princess return to the palace!"

"Yes, I obey the order!" Ma Yongcheng hurriedly welcomed Princess Yongfu and was about to reach out to help him, but he froze and dared not move anymore.

Yongfu knelt there, with a pretty face as quiet as water. She raised her right hand and gently stretched it to her hair. She slowly pulled out a green and clear jade hairpin, and the sharp tip of the hairpin hit her throat, and said softly: "My daughter knows that this is against the ancestral system. But her daughter is unwilling to be manipulated by others. She suffered the pain of marrying and remarrying. The queen of the mother refused to agree. The matter of choosing a prince consort was given up. My daughter will not marry again in this life. Please allow her mother to allow her to allow her."

Once an honest and gentle child becomes stubborn, that is the most powerful thing. Nine-headed cows can't be pulled back. As soon as Empress Dowager Zhang took a step forward, the tip of the ground hairpin in Yongfu's hand pierced into his throat, and a red blood bead seeped out. Poor Princess Yongfu, who was cared for since childhood, was as bright as pearls and jade as she was cared for by others, and her whole body was crystal clear and moist. There was no flaw. Today, she bleed twice for Yang Ling.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that she trembled all over and said sneered: "Okay. OK, OK! You have really grown up and are so unruly! You won't choose the princess, so I will send the princess back to the palace!" After that, she brushed her sleeves and took the palace maid and eunuch beside her to the back hall.

Princess Yongfu's heart sank, and two lines of beads were pouring down her tears. She bowed silently, got up and left.

Jiao Fang's treacherous eyes were chaotic: The opportunity finally came.

He suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is a little anxious, take a break." Zhengde nodded in confusion, and he hurried out with him.

At this time, Zhengde had already guessed his sister's wishes: "She... likes Yang Qing? It's not easy to deal with now. I can help her anyone she likes, as long as she is happy. But Yang Qing...... Yang Ling has a wife! There was a precedent for princesses to marry married people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The land was still a famous man Wang Xianzhi. But after Wang Xianzhi was ordered, he divorced his wife before marrying the land princess, sister, emperor brother.... If the emperor brother forces Yang Ling to divorce his young lady for you, how can I do that kind of thing?"

Jiao Fang used the excuse of urinating, and as soon as she left Cining Palace, she stepped away from her old legs and staggered to chase Princess Yongfu. Yongfu was crying and walked. Suddenly, someone shouted from behind. He turned his head and saw Jiao Ge, who was over 80 years old and had a white-haired old man jogging after him. He hurriedly wiped his tears and gave a slight polite saying: "Master Jiao".

Jiao Fang panted heavily and said tentatively: "Uh..., Your Highness, the old minister is prone to it. Your Highness wants to marry..... wants to marry the person who swallowed the princess's marriage letter?"

Yongfu swept his tears, but there was no answer. Jiao Fang twisted his beard, looked sideways, peered at the princess's expression with the corners of his eyes, and said sinisterly: "The old minister is over 80 years old and is soft-hearted. How can he bear the pain of separation between children and children in this world? It's a pity that he doesn't know the princess's intentions. Even if the old minister wants to serve, he is afraid of abruptness."

Yongfu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiao, you... do you have a way to persuade my mother to change her mind?"

Jiao Fang frowned and said, "That's true, the Empress Dowager is, it's a difficult situation. But... the princess and... the one who swallowed the princess's marriage letter was in love with each other, and secretly made a lifelong appointment?"

Yongfu was stunned, his head lowered with a slightly shy expression, and said quietly: "He... He doesn't know what I want."

Jiao Fang said, "That...it's hard to deal with. The empress dowager is angry. Even if the empress dowager feels sorry for the princess, she will change her mind this time. You have to persuade him slowly? The choice of the princess is known to everyone. If the princess suddenly promises the marriage election officer, can this storm be less? That person doesn't know the princess' affection, and the princess doesn't want the emperor to issue an order to force him to marry, right?

That man is a man of great affection. He refused even the imperial edict for his wife. If Princess Yongfu is now in the family, the position of the wife must be filled, and the princess doesn't care. But the royal family cares about the dignity, but he doesn't know that he...will he be willing to divorce the Yuanmao for the princess?"

Princess Yongfu was also stunned when she heard that the empress dowager wanted to give her a prince-consort first. When she was anxious, she had a thought and showed her feelings. When the empress dowager opposed it, she would not marry anyone except to make anger, and she had never thought about so many things. After hearing Jiao Fang's words, she realized that even if the empress dowager passed the hurdle, it was probably not easy to handle. It was full of difficulties. Even if he... did he like himself? He was willing to think after hearing his marriage letter.

Yongfu suddenly felt embarrassed and sweated: Why am I so stupid? What should I do now? I don’t want to take the position of young lady, but whether it is the court, the people, or him, she... would she think so?

She hurriedly asked Jiao Fang: "Mr. Jiao, you... do you have any way to help me?"

Jiao Fang said slowly: "If you want to calm the marriage election storm, the princess must have a certain identity; if you want the queen mother to change her mind, you must be moved by the mother-daughter family affection; if you want that person to willingly marry the princess as a fair wife, rather than drive away his wife and concubines for the sake of royal rules. To achieve all of this, the princess... has a more suitable identity, and then slowly take care of it in time."

Princess Yongfu held her breath and said, "I... I don't care about my status, but I... what should I do?"

Jiao Fang narrowed her eyes and said, "In the past, when there was a princess who wanted to marry Tubo Zamp, she... was exactly sixteen years old. In order to avoid marrying from a distance from the frontier, she claimed to pray for her grandmother and became a Taoist priest. She moved out of the palace and moved into the Taoist temple. When the marriage was settled, she returned to the customs and married a wish-fulfilling man..."

"Ah! Princess Taiping...".

Jiao Fang smiled slightly and said, "That's right! The Empress Dowager's illness is not cured. If Your Highness prays for her grandmother and is filial, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Emperor can say anything and cannot stop it. First, I have bought time; second, the Empress Dowager can bear it for a day or two, but it takes a long time... Your Highness is the Empress Dowager's biological blood. She can bear you for this life?

The third thing is that when you become a monk, you will be empty. If you abandon all the identities in the world, the princess can take the title back and then issue the title again when you return the customs. The princess will choose an auspicious day to hold a royal ceremony and grandly issue the gold book…”.

Lao Jiao Fang smiled treacherously and said, "It takes two months for this period. In these two months, the princess is a woman who has no title or no rank. With the acquiescence of the empress dowager, what is the difficulty for the prince to marry an ordinary royal woman? Then...... The princess is the princess's wife."

The old fox frowned and said in confusion: "The princess cannot marry married people, and cannot let her husband marry another wife and concubine. But if the royal family granted a princess a wife to be promoted to a princess, she would not force her wife to divorce, right?"

He shook his head and sighed, "Sage Kong has never mentioned this situation. Alas! The old minister doesn't know what to do. It's a headache, it's a headache!"

After all, the little princess Yongfu was only sixteen years old. When she heard that she was so happy, she almost jumped up. She said excitedly: "Okay! I will go to find the emperor's brother immediately. I want to... become a monk and become a Taoist nun!"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

"Ah? I want to... I want to shave my hair!" The little girl originally wanted to see no one in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, but now after hearing the old guy's cry, his mind was full of energy, and he was reluctant to let go of the black hair.

"Hehehe..." Jiao Fang smiled bitterly: "Young women become monks. Most of them will practice first. When the ages grow, the Buddha's heart is firm, and then they will be officially ordained as monks. The princess is just changing her palace clothes into black clothes now!

As for your hair..., Your Highness, the man who swallowed the wedding book, I am afraid that you will be the most sad. I became a monk and a nun, but it would not be better if I shave this hair. Isn’t it better to let him feel sorry for you?"
To be continued...
