Tibetan beads

According to Mrs. Cheng, there is only one thing Mrs. Dong still has doubts about, and that is that Liu Shi and the then prince Zhu Zhu had an affair, but hid and dealt with the child before entering the East Palace.

This is unreasonable. If such a thing really happens, no matter whether the child can be saved or not, it is important to quickly determine the name.Only by setting a name can things be covered up, and the blood of the Tian family cannot be taken lightly.

When she hinted that Liu Shi had done something scandalous, Princess Jincheng showed a blank expression.

"I don't know about that. Shouldn't it be? Otherwise, the emperor would have taken her to the East Palace. It's not marrying a concubine, so you don't have to be so particular about it."

Mrs. Dong's heart skipped a beat, and then she listened to Princess Jincheng's thoughts: "However, she has been ill for a while, and she has not seen anyone for a long time, and she has postponed the wedding date. Originally, the royal brother married the crown princess, and he will accept them soon. The three entered the East Palace, but because of Liu's illness, it has been delayed until next year."

After verifying the details one by one, Mrs. Dong had mixed feelings and asked after a while, "It is said that Liu Shi and His Majesty's childhood sweethearts have a very good relationship?"

Princess Jincheng recalled: "They are indeed childhood sweethearts, but they usually look nothing special."

After a pause, she remembered: "By the way, they suddenly became intimate. During the time when the rumors were about to meet, it didn't last long, maybe just a month? I thought the two had already agreed. , so cultivate feelings!"

"That is to say, Liu Shi suddenly became intimate with His Majesty, but in a very short period of time, she flattered Emperor Dezong again and received the imperial edict of marriage, forcing His Majesty and Empress to rush to get married and stay away from the capital."

"Yes."

Mrs. Dong sat silently for a while, then raised her head to meet Princess Jincheng's sympathetic gaze.

She whispered: "Madam, this virtuous concubine is indeed good at pretending, and has a good reputation until her death. The Queen's concubine is far away in Tongyang, and it's not surprising that the matter has passed for so long. There are so many people in the capital, It's not that she was tricked into turning around." If she didn't happen to bump into Liu Shi to seduce the royal brother, it would be one of them.

Mrs. Dong smiled miserably.It's more than a scam, if the truth is what she thinks, then the queen is simply a big deal!
She took a deep breath and responded forcefully: "Thank you, Princess, for telling me that today's matter, I still hope to keep silent."

Princess Jincheng understands: "Madam, don't worry, I'm here for Jiayi's marriage, and no one else said anything."

Mrs. Dong smiled reluctantly, and got up to send each other: "Eldest Princess, let's go back and choose one, it's settled, let's see each other slowly."

"it is good."

After Princess Jincheng left, Mrs. Dong sat blankly in the room, not even moving when it was dark.

When Uncle Dong came back, she was startled: "What are you doing? You don't light the lights when it's dark, it scared me to death."

Mrs. Dong raised her head, and Mu Mu met his gaze blankly.

When she looked like this, Uncle Dong's heart sank: "What's the matter? Are you really sick? Then quickly take the post and go to the imperial doctor! Really, I always think I'm frizzy on weekdays, why is it my turn? …”

Mrs. Dong suddenly pulled on his sleeve: "Xiang Gong."

"Ok?"

"I ask you something."

"You said."

"Prince...doesn't he look like the queen at all?"

Uncle Dong Guo didn't understand what he meant, but he still replied: "Well, Prince Xiao's father, like His Majesty."

"Do you still remember the Liu family?"

"The Liu family?"

"It's Concubine Liu's family. You were familiar with his family when you were young, right?"

Uncle Dong Guo nodded.

Then Mrs. Dong's words scared him to death: "Then think about it, is the prince like the Liu family?"

? ? ? ! ! !
Uncle Dong looked at his wife in disbelief and lowered his voice: "What are you talking about? Are you crazy?"

Mrs. Dong smiled ugly, and she also felt that she was crazy, but...with this idea in her head, she couldn't let go!
"Master, listen to me..."

……

Uncle Dong Guo was like a wandering soul, sitting in front of the window on the second floor of Changle Building.

Not far from the front is the Liubu Yamen. It happened that Yan Cheng came over to inspect, and the stars were sent out like the moon, and they sat on Chengyu far away.

At this time, someone stopped in front of Uncle Dong and called out in surprise, "Uncle Guo?"

Uncle Dong raised his dull eyes and saw a gentle and elegant middle-aged man.He was stunned, but didn't recognize it: "Your Excellency is..."

The man bowed his hands in a salute, and said respectfully, "Xiaguan is the general manager of the Duke of Chu's mansion. His surname is Ji Mingjing, and he was ordered to give you something."

Uncle Dong Guo snorted.He knew this person. He heard that Xu Huan had been with him since he was young. He was called the chief supervisor, but he was not a servant.

Hey, isn't the Duke of Chu the father of Princess Jin?A Ling's father-in-law...

Uncle Dong's thoughts moved, and he smiled: "It turned out to be Director Ji, come here for a drink or tea? Why don't we go together?"

Ji Jing replied with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Guo, for your love. The weather is hot, and the lower official came out to buy some soup for Uncle Guo to relieve the heat, and I will send it back later."

Uncle Dong waved his hand: "It's just a soup, where do you need Director Ji to go out in person? My servants are outside, just say hello. I just feel that drinking alone is very lonely, since I happen to meet Director Ji, it's better to put One table, go to the wing and drink slowly."

The season feels wrong.The first time I asked was polite, but he refused and insisted, so it's not like it anymore.Is there something to say?
"This..." He looked embarrassed.

Uncle Dong Guo has already decided for him: "Come on, let's go to the wing. Ah Zhong, I'll help Director Ji deliver the soup later, do you hear?"

Chang Sui on the side responded immediately: "Yes, don't worry, sir."

Uncle Dong Guo couldn't help but get up, pulled Ji Jing into the wing, and ordered the second to bring a table of noodles.

Ji Jing hesitated, said some polite words, and then slowly waited for Uncle Dong to speak.

After a few bites and another round of wine, Uncle Dong finally asked, "Is Duke Chu busy lately?"

Ji Jing replied, "Uncle Tuoguo's blessing is not bad."

"The Duke of Chu is in charge of the military supplies now, right? I wonder if the war is going well? Can the King of Jin return to Beijing within this year?"

If someone else asks this, it can be said to be listening to military aircraft.Ji Jing raised his eyes and looked over, Dong Guojiu's face was full of solemnity.

He considered it for a while, and replied, "His Royal Highness King Jin is like a broken bamboo, and Jiang Thief is powerless to succeed. He expects that the day of victory is not far away."

"That's it!"

Uncle Dong lowered his head and drank two glasses of wine. After a while, he asked again, "How is Princess Jin? Do you want to come and meet with the Duke of Chu more often?"

What is the problem?Ji Jing was puzzled and replied, "Yes, our grandfather often visits."

Uncle Dong Guo snorted and lowered his head to drink again.

Ji Jing was sure that something happened to him, and he was very puzzled.With the Queen here, does Uncle Dong have anything to ask for his father-in-law?However, his topic revolved around King Jin. Could it be related to King Jin?
Uncle Dong Guo was also struggling.You can't go to the queen directly, because that is the child she has raised for more than 20 years. She is so caring on weekdays, and she is afraid that she will not be able to bear the blow for a while.Furthermore, he has no evidence. Such a big matter cannot be determined based on the words of a few people.

The person he was looking for the most was actually Yan Ling. If Yan Cheng's life experience was really problematic, then Yan Ling would be his sister's only biological son.But Yanling was not here, so he couldn't come back for a while.

It seems that it is also possible to find Duke Chu.But...after all, I'm not familiar with...

He hesitated like this, until the end, Uncle Dong didn't say anything, just patted Ji Jing on the shoulder: "Director Ji, you and I are also relatives, and we will communicate more in the future!"

Saying so, he sent him out.

Ji Jing was confused by him.What are you doing?He was already prepared, and it ended like this?What's wrong with this uncle, he is so enthusiastic to keep him here just to eat such a meal?
