Chapter 146 The Concubine and the Prince

The Empress Dowager's reward, like the rain the night before yesterday, affected the entire Longyin City. Some people thought that they had to figure it out carefully, maybe it was related to the position of their buttocks, and some people just watched the fun and talked nonsense. Fan, it's not too big of a deal.

"This matter is not as complicated as you think. On the surface, it looks like it was rewarded by the empress dowager, but in fact it was bought by Langya Palace..."

"How to say?"

"You don't know the strength of the Langya Palace? The palace needs money, so they sell the land. It's just that it's not nice to say it, so we'll take a formality at this time."

"Is there still a lack of money in the palace?"

"Your Majesty is not someone who indulges in enjoyment. The money in the palace treasury is used to subsidize the national treasury... Langya Prince's Mansion took this land, built a bunch of manors and other courtyards, and sold them at high prices to wealthy families. It’s better than the palace searching directly from them. Do you understand?”

"So... the first emperor seems to have used similar methods, but there have been no wars or catastrophes in these years, so the treasury should not be short of money."

"No, the regent's overseas battles are almost a bottomless pit... Especially for the navy, it is necessary to build ten Longwei-class flagships to ensure invincibility in all seas and worry-free ocean routes..."

The guests who ate wine at Wang Xie Fengyue Tower seemed to know everything, as if they had not only placed people in the palace, but also knew the state of the treasury like the back of their hands, and even the regent's battle situation was well-informed.

As for the guests upstairs in Caiyun Xinghe, it is another story.

The big boats floating on the Nanhuai River always give people a false sense of privacy. It seems that even if the words spoken here are spread out, they will fall into the water and never reach the shore.

Lan Xinghe is wearing a light green dress, her eyelashes are flowing, her almond pupils are full of water, her red lips are slightly curved, and she walks around like willow branches that move the water on the river. Hou's son Rong Kexing.

"Master Su, Chang Baibo asked me to tell you that she is practicing kung fu hard these days, and she still wants to compete with you..." Lan Xingheheng spoke softly with a smile on his eyebrows.

"Okay, let her wait!" Su Changqing smiled.

He was originally born as a romantic talent, and he would not usually put on airs as a third-rank minister when facing women in Goulan Washe, especially this Lan Xinghe, who is quite famous in Longyin City, and is highly praised by some talented people, Su Chang Qingzi would not regard her as the old bustard of an ordinary brothel.

As for Changbai Po, which is one of the top names in Caiyun Xinghe Building, Su Changqing has been here several times recently, and in the end, she was the place where she stayed overnight.

"You have to take good care of him..." Rong Kexing is Su Changqing's brother-in-law, and occasionally helps Su Changqing cover up, so as not to be discovered by his sister Rong Shangqing. Indulging in the mood of painting a boat.

"Of course. Young Master still want to order the two sisters Zhong Ling and Yuxiu tonight?" Su Changqing and Rong Kexing belonged to the most important rank among the regular customers of Caiyun Xinghe Building.

Letting them have fun in Caiyun Xinghe Tower is not only good for Huafang's management, but also the occasional news they leak is what Xinghe cares most about.

Rong Kexing is the eldest son of Cheng Xinhou, and Cheng Xinhou is the third son of Rong Guogong, the elder brother of the empress dowager, and the uncle of the empress empress.

Rong Guogong, his eldest son, and his second son have all been granted the title of Duke, and it seems that it will be a matter of time before Chengxin Hou can be granted the title... Anyway, everyone in Beijing said so.

"Well, let the two of them wait in the room, and I'll be there in a while." Rong Kexing nodded with a smile, for the same reason as Su Changqing, and would maintain a gentle attitude towards Lan Xinghe.

After drinking for three rounds, Su Changqing hiccupped, waved her hand, and dismissed the girl who sang with the wine.

Lan Xinghe closed the door himself, then looked left and right, came to the adjacent pavilion, and entered the secret room from behind the bed, but he could hear the words of Su Changqing and Rong Kexing clearly.

"Ke Xing, your sister said... King Langya was targeting the Rong family from the very beginning?"

"King Langya is still young, and the most urgent thing to do is to familiarize himself with the affairs of the Nine Provinces and consolidate his authority. Why did he target the Rong family? Brother-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense. Women's families sometimes act on their own emotions. When they see someone who doesn't like it, they feel that others are targeting themselves. ..."

"I also feel that even though King Langya is in charge of the Kyushu Mansion, which is different from the general royal family, he is still a little overwhelmed to target the Rong family."

"Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry too much. Since my Rong family helped you up to the position of governor of the capital, the empress dowager will not take you down casually. This time, the matter is probably to severely punish the king of Nanjun, and how many times will you reprimand my brother-in-law?" Sentence... In short, as long as your black hat doesn't move, you can bear some grievances to your brother-in-law."

"That's good." Su Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, and poured a glass of wine for Rong Kexing, "What do you think about the Queen Mother rewarding King Langya with that piece of land?"

"Hehe... Grandpa once suggested to the empress dowager that the Langya palace should be separated, and this land should be used by the Langya king to set up a separate family."

"It turns out that this has caused a lot of criticism... However, it is only an acre smaller than the palace, which is a bit too much."

"It's indeed a bit too much, and I didn't expect it to be that place... According to the original statement, the Empress Dowager seems to want King Langya to get married or have an heir, so she can propose a separation."

"It seems that the empress dowager has already made up her mind about King Langya's marriage...Fang Zhimei!" Su Changqing suddenly realized, and slapped the table, "The empress dowager wants to marry Fang Zhimei to King Langya."

"Brother-in-law is really insightful... Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Prime Minister's Mansion to marry the Langya Palace. If there is a marriage, then one of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Langya Palace must weaken the influence of power."

Rong Kexing looked at Su Changqing with some admiration. His brother-in-law is actually a talent, but he was suppressed too much by his sister Rong Shangqing, and he didn't have much chance to show his full talent.

"The prime minister has worked so hard over the years, and he is deeply trusted by the empress dowager. In this way, after all, he is still targeting the Langya palace...in the name of marriage, he is indeed the empress dowager!" Su Changqing bowed in admiration. Hands down, none of the Rong family's women are simple.

Rong Shangqing is a tigress, but Su Changqing also knows that she cannot do without her support, especially because she is good at interpersonal relationships, and she is very good at managing and using the Rong family's connections. Many times, Su Changqing can't say no Rong Shangqing has to come forward for everything.

It's a pity that the women of the Rong family are quite strange in matters of men and women. The empress dowager is a man who can't get close, but Rong Shangqing is too greedy to fill. As long as she expresses some intention of having sex, Su Changqing will have three legs. Soft, really powerless.

On the contrary, Su Changqing was able to feel his dignity as a man only when he came to Caiyun Xinghe Tower. Even Chang Baibo, one of the top names in Caiyun Xinghe Tower, was often killed by him to the point of begging for mercy.

His flower name is "Zhao Zilong", and he is also well-known in Caiyun Xinghe Tower, and even appeared in the lace anecdote in the newspaper, which made Su Changqing proud.

"The key point is... there is Tang Wanrong in Langya Palace, Tang Wanrong will definitely understand what the Empress Dowager means, and then Langya Palace will have to take the initiative to write a letter asking for the power to be removed. This will not give people an excuse to say that once the old prince passes away, the Empress Dowager Disregarding the late emperor's will, ruthless and ungrateful to forcibly destroy Langya Palace..."

Rong Kexing sighed, this aunt's method is really worth pondering and learning carefully, this is the way of controlling power.

Thinking about Qin Shouan's various behaviors since he returned to the capital, he always feels extremely uncomfortable to watch him. Now that he has figured out the Queen Mother's thoughts, it immediately makes people feel refreshed. Instigated a group of girls to enter the house and continue to greet the two uncles.

Lan Xinghe turned and went out, telling Liang Yundan the news he had just received.

"You mean, let's convey this news to King Langya?" Liang Yundan understood that Lan Xinghe was deliberately looking for opportunities, and his heart warmed up, and he gently hugged Lan Xinghe, "Okay, such news is very important to Langya. According to the king, it should be more valuable than any rare treasure."

……

……

After night fell, the Langya Prince's Mansion was brightly lit, every lantern and every candlestick was lit up, making the whole palace as if it were a grand scene during a garden party, only missing the endless stream of tourists.

In terms of excitement, it's not bad at all.

The palace rewards the palace, and the palace rewards all kinds of people from top to bottom. The prince is very considerate, and the rewards are all real gold and silver, so that everyone has a sincere smile on their faces, and truly understands the feeling of prosperity and prosperity. A sense of belonging.

After the rewards from His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, the princes and ministers who analyzed the general direction of the wind, sent gifts one after another. From the beginning, it was just neighbors in three lanes and seven alleys who came to give gifts in pieces, and later it was Horses and chariots came from all over Longyin City in an endless stream, even blocking the gate of the palace.

The housekeeper Tang Cheng led the accountant to register, and the guards maintained order. Compared with the loneliness and desertedness of the palace when the old prince passed away, this lively and extraordinary scene makes people sigh with emotion.

The important officials in the court generally don't have too close friendship with the Langya Palace, but no one will treat a dignified prince as air, and normal human relations will not arouse suspicion in the palace.

The main reason is the reward from the Empress Dowager, which is really too generous, and people even suspect that this is a signal sent by the Empress Dowager deliberately... No one can accurately analyze it for the time being, but if you give some gifts vaguely, there will never be any What a big deal.

Su Changqing and Rong Kexing's analysis has not yet been spread from Caiyun Xinghe Building... They consciously figured out the Queen Mother's mind, and it is impossible for them to tell anyone.

Qin Shouan was quite tired after a busy day.

As the pinnacle of the eighth rank, his physical strength is enough to support him, mainly mentally.

The tedious procedure made people a little numb. There was no rest in the middle. Wearing a heavy and solemn gown, the whole person was tense. It was not an easy task to show everyone the majesty of the new prince.

Even though he took off his uniform now and put on the well-shaped prince's regular uniform, he still felt a little uncomfortable. When he walked, he still maintained that majestic and swaggering posture, which was the majestic "square step".

The requirements of the square step are to lift the legs to brighten the soles of the boots, the waist is the center, the limbs are adapted to different occasions, the ground is lifted quickly and slowly, and the ground is lifted slowly and quickly.

After walking like this for a whole day, Qin Shouan relaxed a little but didn't let himself loose, it became a natural habit.

He walked around Langya Palace for the last time and looked at the people who were eating and drinking at the banquet.

The banquet was only held inside the Langya Palace, and they were all servants who worked hard to manage the affairs of the palace on weekdays. It was rare to have the opportunity to sit down at the banquet in the palace. At the beginning, it was unavoidable to be cautious. One by one, they ate and drank happily.

Qin Shouan's image in the palace was no longer that of simply being able to blow other people's heads off with one punch. Everyone knew that as long as he was loyal to the prince, he was not cruel.

In the end, Qin Shouan walked into the Moon to Fenglai Pavilion. He actually still had a lot of things to talk to Tang Wanrong about, for example: the Empress Dowager's award.

Tang Wanrong also made an appearance today. On the surface, she has become a "twilight concubine", but what makes her feel complicated is that she has not been registered as a concubine, which means that her identity recorded at Zongzheng Temple is still No changes.

Even though she understood the empress dowager's meaning of "business as usual", it is still difficult for Tang Wanrong to accept... As long as the empress dowager is normal, she shouldn't behave like this.

What Tang Wanrong can now be sure of is that the old prince Qin Heng not only wrote the letter "Shou'an should marry him" to Qin Shou'an, but also informed the Queen Mother.

Apart from this, Tang Wanrong couldn't think of any other reasons for the empress dowager to make this arrangement... What she couldn't figure out was even more, how could the empress dowager agree?
Are you sick?
Having not had a man for so many years, dissatisfied with her desires, the hotness accumulated in her heart, gradually heated up like the piled coals, burned up, and then burned her brain abnormally!
It was the first time that Tang Wanrong yelled at the empress dowager in her heart... Before, she was just a little slanderous, and quietly moaned and chirped a few words to express her dissatisfaction.

After scolding, Tang Wanrong had no choice but to think that Zongzheng Temple was negligent. After all, except for a few insiders, no one would care too much about such details.

On weekdays, everyone will naturally change their titles and call her "Toffee".

"Twife, how are you feeling now?" Hei Ji asked curiously as she stood beside Tang Wanrong.

Seeing Tang Wanrong frowning, fidgeting, her eyes seemed to be on fire, Hei Ji couldn't help but suspect that Tang Wanrong had finally realized that she had become an old woman at the level of a "toffee". The kind of flame that made her eyes burn red.
