Concubine

Chapter 424 Proposing Marriage to the Emperor

At this moment, Eunuch Li came in with Liu Ruobing and Song Yun'er, and they both breathed a sigh of relief seeing Yang Qiuchi sitting there upright.After kowtowing to Ming Chengzu, he sat on Feng Xiaoxue's lower head.

Ming Chengzu was holding a glass of wine to drink, when he suddenly saw Liu Ruobing, he was stunned for a moment, and forgot to drink that glass of wine.

Liu Ruobing frowned slightly and snorted coldly.Yang Qiuchi was worried that she would be angry, so he greeted her to eat.Liu Ruobing smiled and nodded at Yang Qiuchi.

With Liu Ruobing's smile, Ming Chengzu's three souls were almost lured away. Only when Concubine Wang Guifei coughed lightly did Ming Chengzu react, smiled covertly, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.She raised her hand and pointed at Liu Ruobing, and asked, "Yang Aiqing, this is..."

"This is Weichen's fourth concubine's room, surnamed Liu." Yang Qiuchi also saw Ming Chengzu's brother Zhu, who was still sad and dying just now, but now he is coveting other beauties.

Then it occurred to him that the emperor is king, but he dares to do anything. Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for the emperor to rob ministers and even sons and concubines. It is not uncommon for the emperor to be moved by Liu Ruobing. He coughed, turned his head and asked Liu Ruobing deliberately: "Bing'er, did you breastfeed our son when you came?"

Liu Ruobing didn't know why Yang Qiuchi suddenly asked about this, her pretty face blushed, and she said in a low voice, "Hey..."

Sure enough, Ming Chengzu was slightly taken aback, a little embarrassed, and asked: "Is Yang Aiqing happy with her son?"

"That's right," Yang Qiuchi said with a bow, "this fourth concubine of Weichen, Mrs. Liu, just gave birth to a son for Weichen, and this is Weichen's eldest son."

"Oh?" Ming Chengzu turned his head to look at the dark spots on Feng Xiaoxue's face, then at Liu Ruobing and Song Yun'er, and said with a smile, "Yang Aiqing, each of your concubines is prettier than the other, and now I gave birth to a son for you. Don't forget about the poor wife."

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly leaned over and said with a smile: "I don't dare, I must remember the emperor's teachings."

Song Yun'er is still young, and she is a master who is not afraid of anything, so she couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, my brother has never forgotten sister Xiaoxue. Boss Bai Qian forced him to divorce his wife and marry Boss Bai Qian's daughter, but my brother flatly refused. Woolen cloth."

"Your brother?" Ming Chengzu didn't understand who this address referred to for a moment.

Yang Qiuchi quickly explained: "Weichen's fifth concubine, the Song family, used to be called Weichen's brothers and sisters, but later married Weichen, but this title has not changed."

Only then did Ming Chengzu understand, he chuckled, and asked Song Yun'er with great interest: "You just said that your brother refused to force the marriage, what's going on?"

Song Yun'er recounted that incident. In the process of narrating, it was inevitable to add fuel to the picture, portraying Yang Qiuchi as a lover.This made Yang Qiuchi and Feng Xiaoxue flush with embarrassment.

After Song Yuner finished speaking, Ming Chengzu praised: "I didn't expect Yang Aiqing to be such a sentimental person. Well, I admire you very much. Come, I will offer you and my wife a glass for this!"

Yang Qiuchi and Feng Xiaoxue hurriedly picked up their glasses and stood up. After bowing and thanking them, they drank up the wine in their glasses.

Ever since she entered the Royal Garden, Mother Yang has been thinking about how to propose marriage.Their Yang family is now a super-class Marquis of Zhenyuan. If they want to marry a princess, they can be regarded as the right family. However, they are asking the princess to be their son's concubine, and Yang's mother is a peasant woman. The county magistrate was so frightened that she couldn't speak well, and now she was asked to propose marriage to the emperor. Thinking of this, Mother Yang's tongue was tied up, and she kept thinking about how to speak.

Ming Chengzu also noticed that Yang's mother hadn't spoken all the time, sitting there trembling, knowing that she was nervous, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Mrs. Tai, why don't you always have a drink...? Mrs. Tai...?"

Feng Xiaoxue squinted and saw that Mother Yang was still thinking about something, she didn't hear what the emperor said, so she quickly pushed Mother Yang under the table and said in a low voice: "Mother, the emperor is calling for you."

Only then did Mother Yang come to her senses: "Huh? What?"

Feng Xiaoxue blushed and said it again.When Mother Yang heard the emperor talking to her, she immediately panicked, picked up a glass of wine and stood up, tremblingly said: "Emperor... Your Majesty... Princess Yunlu... Our son... Concubine... How about it?"

Ming Chengzu was taken aback, but couldn't hear what Yang's mother said. In fact, even if he listened carefully, he couldn't hear it, because when Yang's mother was nervous, she didn't finish what she said.

But Yun Lu understood it, her face was flushed with shame, she lowered her head and said nothing, but her ears were still in a daze.But after listening to Yang's mother talking for a long time without explaining clearly, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Ming Chengzu saw that Yang's mother was so nervous that her face turned pale, and half of the glass of wine in her hand had spilled tremblingly, and smiled slightly: "Mrs. Tai, don't worry, drink the wine first, and speak slowly."

Feng Xiaoxue stood up, supported the old lady, stabilized her arm and comforted her softly: "Mother, the emperor wants you to drink first, then speak slowly, don't worry."

After hearing this, Mother Yang quickly picked up the glass of wine and poured it into her mouth. In fact, the wine in the glass was almost spilled.

After drinking the remaining half glass of wine in the quilt, with Feng Xiaoxue's support, Mother Yang sat down slowly, took a breath, and said, "Your Majesty, old man... I want to propose a kiss to the emperor..."

Ming Chengzu said with a smile: "Okay, Mrs. Tai, my Princess Xianning is not yet married." Turning around, he took Yunlu's arm, "And my Princess Qingxi is also unmarried, who will Mrs. Tai propose marriage to? tell me the story?"

Mother Yang heard Ming Chengzu talk about Yunlu, she was overjoyed, her tongue finally slipped, and she said: "I want to propose marriage for Qingxi Princess Yunlu."

"Oh, okay, who is the son of the family?"

"Old man...I want to propose marriage for my son."

"Ah?" Ming Chengzu was taken aback, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, "Mrs. Tai, how many sons do you have?"

Yang's mother took Yang Qiuchi's hand and said with a smile, "Just...just this one."

Ming Chengzu's face darkened: "Did Mrs. Tai want me to marry Princess Qingxi to Yang Aiqing as a concubine?"

Yang's mother also heard Ming Chengzu's displeasure, and she was terrified, but she had to make it clear as soon as she said it, and timidly said: "Princess Yunlu... likes our family's Qiuchi..., it was fine before. Come...that's why the old man..."

Ming Chengzu looked at Yun Lu: "Lu'er, is Yang Aiqing the wishful gentleman you said you wanted?"

Yunlu blushed and nodded, she could also hear Ming Chengzu's displeasure, and with a deep feeling in her heart, she plucked up her courage and said, "Father, when I was in Qingxi County, my father intended to marry his daughter to Qiuchi. My brother is a concubine..."

"Then are you married?" Ming Chengzu asked coldly.

"No……"

"That's right. Yang Aiqing was young and promising. Originally this was a good marriage, but Yang Aiqing also had a wife. Back then, she would rather die than divorce her wife. I have a deep love for his husband and wife. I respect him very much. If this is the case, you can't I married Yang Aiqing again. As for the concubine room—do you think it is appropriate for the princess to be a concubine room?"

"Father..."

Ming Chengzu waved his hand and interrupted Yun Lu's words: "Okay, don't bring up this matter again. Father is a little tired, so I'll go back first." Standing up, he looked down and saw Yun Lu's pitiful tears on the verge of tears. In this way, he patted her on the shoulder, "Lu'er, you don't need to worry about your marriage, Father will arrange it for you."

Ming Chengzu didn't look at Yang Qiuchi and the others, and walked away with his hands behind his back.Concubine Wang Guifei and other concubines smiled apologetically at Yang Qiuchi and others, then followed behind and left too. Before leaving, Beauty Lu cast a deep glance at Yang Qiuchi, her talking eyes were full of softness, which made people infinitely excited. sympathy.

Only Yang Qiuchi's family was left in the field. You looked at me and I looked at you, all dumbfounded.

Yunlu lay down on the table with a wow and burst into tears.

…………

The next day, after discussing with Yang's mother, Feng Xiaoxue and Song Qing, Yang Qiuchi decided to entrust Song Qing's mother, Mrs. Song, to Wuchang to take care of Huguang's business. He wrote a letter to Song Qing's mother, and asked Xia Ping to take Lead the female guards to Ningguo Mansion first, pick up Song Qing's mother, escort them to Wuchang, and then bring back Qin Zhihui, Song Qing and Bai Sumei's mother and daughter.

Afterwards, he brought Master Jin and Master Long to the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion to take up his post, and received the congratulations from all the assistant officials. After that, he asked the two masters to handle the handover of money, materials, files, etc. with the former Gu Fu Yin's masters.After handing over the government affairs of the yamen to the two masters, Yang Qiuchi went to Fusi's own Tongzhi yamen in Jinyiwei North Town to take up the post, formally met with the commander Ji Gang, and then went back to Yang's mansion.

After Yang Qiuchi called Song Yuner, he roughly told Song Yuner about the case entrusted by the emperor.When Song Yuner heard that the case investigated this time turned out to be the bizarre death of the emperor's favorite concubine, she was very excited, but also very nervous. A case involving the royal family was not that simple.Don't know who will be involved.However, this time the backstage is the emperor, so there is no need to worry.

As for how to solve the case, Yang Qiuchi already has a preliminary plan. First, conduct an investigation to find out the situation at the time, so that he can know what is going on, and then go to Lincheng, Shandong to open the coffin for an autopsy to determine whether the nature of the death was suicide, accident or homicide. Find out the nature of the case before making further plans.

Now that he is an acquaintance of the Jinyiwei, the status of the Jinyiwei is public. Yang Qiuchi put on the official robe of the Jinyiwei acquaintance, asked Nan Gongxiong and other six personal guards to pass on the flying fish suit, and brought Song Yuner into the palace to start investigating the case.

Since the emperor had decreed that Yang Qiuchi could enter the palace at any time, Yang Qiuchi and others entered the palace without any hindrance.Found the female judge Wang Sicai.

Wang Sicai was in his twenties, but he was rather handsome (in order not to frighten the emperor, ugly dinosaur-level women were not allowed in the palace), and gave off a very capable feeling.

When Wang Sicai heard that Jin Yiwei was looking for her, she trembled in fright.From the reign of Zhu Di Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei and later Dongchang and Xichang are all terms that can scare people's hearts and scare children at night.

Si Cai is actually a female official in charge of storing satin in the palace, and the interrogation was carried out in Wang Si Cai's office.
