blue bird song

Chapter 72
"Grandpa Zeng." King Jin didn't expect Wang Tangjing to come, so he said bravely, "That's right, my aunt's birthday is coming up, and I'm wondering what gift I should give. Because Qingque is my aunt's apprentice, it must be I know what my aunt likes, so I want to ask Qing Que."

Wang Tang Jingqing's elegant face was expressionless, and he said indifferently: "It's easy, I'll ask Qing Que first, and then I'll tell His Highness."

King Jin groaned in his heart.Why is Qingque's grandfather Zeng so rigid?Is this to isolate Qingque and me, and prevent us from meeting and talking?

"I have been away from home for a long time, and I am planning to go back to the capital." Wang Tangjing said lightly, "If Your Highness does not give up, I invite old minister Xu to go with me."

King Jin shivered.Grandpa Zeng, you are too ruthless. You can't watch it in Yangji, but you still have to go all the way to see the capital?With you here, I don't want Qingque's personal protection, nor do I want to enjoy the scenery and flowers with Qingque, whispering.I... I am too bitter.

"Grandpa Zeng, I'm Qingque's cousin." Jin Wang looked aggrieved, "Qingque and I are good friends when we urinate, and we can talk about everything."

"Cousins ​​don't need to avoid suspicion?" Wang Tangjing glared at him, "Men and women are very defensive, and cousins ​​are no exception! Please be careful with your words and deeds, Your Highness, so as not to hurt the girl's reputation."

After Wang Tangjing finished speaking in awe-inspiring manner, he walked away in a huff.

Jin Wang took a few steps to catch up with him and blocked his way, "The late emperor promised me to marry Qingque, and the emperor also promised me to choose my own princess..."

Wang Tangjing looked at him sideways, and sneered slightly, "Your family agreed, did my family agree?" Brat, is it your family who can decide on such a big matter as a marriage between a man and a woman?Not even royal!

"Before the late emperor was alive, he had sent envoys to ask Zongbing Qi, and Zongbing Qi let Qingque make his own decisions." King Jin carefully counted them one by one. Agreed, as for Mrs. Yang Wuhou, I will pay a visit after returning to Beijing and ask for marriage in person."

Among the four pairs of father and mother, only Qingque's mother-in-law has not asked what they mean.The rest, agree.

Wang Tangjing looked at him maliciously, "Your Highness, Madam Yang Wuhou has no other relatives in her natal family, only me, my grandfather. She never dares not to listen to what I say."

Only Mrs. Yang Wuhou has not passed the test, right?She listens to me!
The King of Jin bowed deeply, "Grandpa Zeng, I like Qingque, and I want to marry her and spend this life with her. Please respect me."

Wang Tangjing tutted his tongue, "Your house, hey, it's so lively. Among the men in your family, besides the main concubine, there are also secondary concubines and concubines. It's a grand scene?"

"Qing Que is too good." Jin Wang said seriously: "No other woman deserves to stand by her side and share the Jin Palace with her. Only being unique is distinguished, and Qing Que will be my only princess."

Of those princes and nobles who have dozens or hundreds of wives and concubines, which one is satisfied?No.The more you have, the more you feel like you don't have enough.I don't want to be like that, I don't want to be as drunk and dreamy as they are.

"There are at least seventy or eighty people, and you only have one, wouldn't it be embarrassing." Wang Tangjing shook his head.You are swearing so much at the moment, it will be no wonder that you will not lose your temper when compared with those heavenly nobles in the future.

"Thousands of beauties add up, and they can't compare to Qingque alone." King Jin's expression could not conceal his pride, "Qingque is unparalleled in the world."

What the stinky boy said was very sweet, even my old man was a little tempted by it.Wang Tangjing glanced at King Jin, looked up to the sky with a smile, and left.

King Jin stayed where he was, looking at the shadow of Grandpa Zeng Qingyi mournfully.

For the next two days, Wang Tangjing thought about guarding Qingque all the time, so as to save her from being underestimated by that brat with ulterior motives.But his thoughts were in vain, Qing Que didn't pay much attention to King Jin, but stayed by Yang Ge's side, wishing to finish what he had said in the past few years in one day.

"How long will Niuniu fight?" Grandpa asked her gently.

The big eyes like blue sparrows and black grapes are full of mischief, "I'm General Guangwei now, and he's still far away from the Duke! Grandpa, I must at least earn a Duke."

Great grandfather is happy.Niuniu, if you really want to run towards the Duke, A Yuan can't wait until his hair turns gray?Your great-grandfather was also considered to be very lucky. He fought for most of his life before earning the Ningguo Duke's mansion.

"The current Qi family is supported by Qi Zhen." Grandpa patted Qing Que, "The Qi family already has a man, so Niuniu doesn't have to sacrifice for the family anymore, think more about herself."

"Grandpa, I didn't sacrifice for the family." Qingque blinked her eyes wide, "I didn't think it was a sacrifice. Compared with Deng Zhiping and Deng Ziying who are about my age, I am much more free! They can only hide In the inner house, I can gallop under the blue sky and white clouds, and see the vast grassland, the vast sky, the majestic Great Wall, and the surging Yellow River."

"The world is so big, why should I confine myself to the three-acre land in the inner house? Grandpa, maybe I was born like my grandfather, who was born to fight in armor."

Grandpa sighed, "Niu Niu, you've been peeing differently from ordinary girls since you were a child. That's fine, the inner house can't trap you, you can fly, fly as high as you can."

The blue sparrow acted like a bird flying, which amused the grandpa very much.

"It's a pity that A Yuan can't accompany you." Grandpa mentioned it casually.

"Yes." Qingque smiled, "He said he would be the king of Ningxia, and we will defend the Great Wall fortress together, and prevent the barbarians from going south to herd horses!"

Grandpa's mouth twitched.King of Ningxia?He is now the King of Jin, one of the most noble titles among the princes. The King of Ningxia is far behind the King of Jin.It seems that A Yuan really doesn't like Qingque very much.

When great-grandpa was taking a nap, grandpa Zeng also felt sleepy, and they slept together on the same bed.Qingque carefully covered the two of them with a thin quilt, and tiptoed out.

Qing Que met King Jin in the back garden, and took him to every corner of the Yang family, telling vividly about her childhood, and King Jin listened very seriously.

When Grandpa Zeng woke up, he found that the blue bird was gone, so he immediately went out to look for it.Grandpa looked at his back and shook his head, Wang Tangjing, Wang Tangjing, Niuniu is different from her mother, my Niuniu doesn't do stupid things!You ah, nothing to worry about.

Being guarded so strictly by Grandpa Zeng, Jin Wang insisted that he didn't even have a chance to express his heartfelt feelings, and he was extremely melancholy.

Because of King Jin's status and the fact that he brought many guards, it was difficult to settle in Yangji.Therefore, three days later, King Jin will leave for the capital.Qing Que was ordered to protect him, so naturally she had to follow.

Before parting, Yang Yu gave Qing Que a stack of exquisite colorful notes, "Don't be lazy, write letters to Brother Yu often. Tell Brother Yu if you have any fun things, and tell Brother Yu if you have any unhappy things." Brother, don't hide it." Qing Que accepted it with a smile, agreeing happily.

Although the great-grandfather was open-minded, he became sad when he saw Qingque leave.Qingque was also reluctant to part with her grandpa, and choked speechlessly.

"Grandpa, we will come back to see you." King Jin solemnly promised.

Grandpa smiled slightly, "Okay, Grandpa is waiting for you."

Niuniu, A Yuan, when we come back next time, it can’t be just the two of you, add at least one.

Qing Que and his great-grandfather, Yang Jiu, Yang Ji and Yang Yu parted in tears.

Along the way, Wang Tangjing watched closely, King Jin could only meet Qingque once in a while.Meetings are also business affairs, and I dare not joke casually——Grandpa Zeng is sitting by the side, ready to fight.

"The more Grandpa Zeng doesn't want me to see you, the more I want to see you." Jin Wang secretly told Qing Que.

"It's evil, so am I." Qing Que didn't say a word, thinking silently in her heart, "Is there something between us, I want to be closer to you."

The two looked at each other, with intoxicating rouge on their faces.

After returning to the capital, the king of Jin went to the palace to meet the emperor, and cried bitterly on the ground.The emperor also shed tears, walked down the steps, and leaned over to pull King Jin up, "A Yuan, my condolences. Father has passed away, and you still have brother to take care of you."

The king of Jin refused to pay homage to the first emperor only in Fengxian Hall, and insisted on going to Maoling in Changping.Poor him cried and passed out several times, and finally was forcibly taken back to the capital by the guards sent by the emperor.

The emperor and the empress dowager were worried about King Jin, and wished to take him back to the palace and raise him slowly.But the grown-up prince didn't have that reason.

"If he has a considerate and considerate princess to take care of his daily life, I can feel more at ease." The empress dowager chatted with the emperor, "This child is purely filial and has no plans. How can he succeed alone? You can't count on the maids, eunuchs and nuns. But he is still in the period of filial piety, and he can't immediately register as a princess."

When the father dies, the children have to observe 27 months of filial piety.The exception is the emperor, who can replace the moon with the day and keep the 27th, but not the prince.

The emperor was also in a dilemma, "Grandmother, my grandson is also worried about A Yuan, but there is nothing I can do about it." The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "You remember this, when the time comes, make an order for A Yuan, don't delay."

"There is no need for the grandson to issue an edict." The emperor laughed along, "Father has left a will before his death, and the gold book and gold seal are all in place."

"Your father, you have a heart." The Empress Dowager thought of her son who died young, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Before he left, he still remembered that there was no princess in A Yuan."

The emperor gently persuaded, "Grandmother, when A Yuan gets married and has a son, you will spoil your grandson." The empress dowager put down her veil and looked at him angrily, "Ah Yuan, you have been married for more than a year. There is no movement from the Zhang family! I want to hug my great-grandson, how long do I have to wait?"

The emperor was startled, wanting to defend Queen Zhang.Before he could speak, the Empress Dowager reached out her hand to stop her, "I know you are facing her, but heirs are important. Let's make a concubine. The Jia family and the Li family in the harem are virtuous and virtuous, and they have the appearance of men. You make two Concubine, spread the branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible."

The Jia family and the Li family mentioned by the empress dowager are both women raised in the palace since childhood.The Li family is the daughter of a small official, and the Jia family is Jia Shuning.Jia Shuning originally wanted to marry the Prince of Jin, but when she saw that the prince was enthroned as emperor, she couldn't forget her dream of being a queen, so she changed her mind.

The emperor agreed.

The emperor sent a letter to the Ministry of Rites and ordered them to handle matters related to concubine registration.Unfortunately, Xie Shidu of the Imperial Academy strongly opposed this matter, "The system of the six palaces must be prepared. But the three-year worry, how can it be forgotten. Today, the mountain mausoleum is not yet completed, and the shadow is still fresh, but it suddenly appeared. This matter?"

Your Majesty the Emperor, you should marry a concubine.But your father passed away not long ago, his mausoleum has not yet been completed, and the hut where you are mourning is still new, why do you have the nerve to mention this?

The emperor claimed to rule the world with filial piety, and he set a three-year system of filial piety for the first emperor.Because the emperor had such bold words, how could he not accept Xie Shidu's advice.

The registration of Jia and Li as concubines has been shelved.

Poor little girl Jia Shuning, first she was ecstatic about becoming the emperor's concubine, and then she was heartbroken because her dream was broken.Go to heaven first, and then go to hell, so sad.

"I'll wait for three years!" After Jia Shuning was sad, she resolutely said, "Your Majesty will always have a time when the filial piety period expires. At that time, I will definitely lose a concubine!"
