Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 29 Comparing Beauty with Women
No king has a solid eye, especially an emperor like the current emperor. Although he is not tyrannical and crazy, he can't allow anyone to harm his painstakingly managed situation under his nose.Especially groups such as foreign relatives who have been sensitive since ancient times.If one is not careful, the first thing the crown prince will face in the future when he ascends the throne is the trouble that his relatives will grow stronger and be difficult to suppress.

"Okay, you can go back." Emperor Chengqi had something on his mind, so impatient Xu Ze swayed shyly in front of him.

As soon as Xu Ze left, the emperor ordered someone to go to the East Palace to pass the prince to the imperial study.Zhao Yantao caught wind and cold for the past two days, and the memorials were sent to the East Palace for disposal. The imperial physician also told him not to blow the wind, and not to get close to the flowers. Finally, he coughed less frequently today, but the emperor summoned him, so he had to go out.

Seeing that his son had lost some weight, the emperor held back his usual reproach.Without beating around the bush, he told the other party that Ning Jiatuo Queen begged him to give Ning Ying and Xu Chilie a marriage.He was very curious about the reaction of this suddenly motivated prince.

"What is this? Bullying others?" The prince frowned coldly.

"The Ning family wants to marry the two surnames. When a matchmaker goes to the Xu family to propose marriage, if Xu Qing nods, even the father can't say anything. But the Ning family didn't ask Xu Jiale if he was happy, and ran to the mother's back to ask for the imperial edict. Well, the son-in-law really doesn't like this way of oppressing people with power. Today they want to rely on the status of their relatives to catch the son-in-law, and tomorrow they want to help the fourth brother to replace the son-in-law. Does the queen mother also want to beg for them? Father's permission?" The prince struggled to finish these words, enduring the discomfort of his blocked nose and throat.

Emperor Chengqi was pissed off again, he regretted calling the prince over so much, and he didn't forget to make trouble for him when he was so ill, "You bastard, as a prince, you can say this kind of thing? What I have taught you all these years Have you returned it?" He never realized how much shadow he had cast on this son because of his partiality to the fourth and seventh sons, so that the son changed so much after the incident with the crown princess.

The prince saluted, and said without emotion that the minister knew his mistake.

"Get out." A stack of well-placed memorials was thrown onto the prince below.

The crown prince didn't say much, "I'm taking my leave."

The imperial study room fell into silence where you could hear the sound of falling needles. It took a long time for the emperor to recover from his anger, "Let the doctor of the imperial hospital show him why he is so ill."

"Your maid obeys the orders." Changshun wanted to say, the ones who have checked the pulse of the emperor, empress, prince, and concubine have always been the best imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, and the prince's illness is also recorded in medical records every day. , not much can be done.

"Hold on."

Chang Shun stopped in his tracks.

"By the way, go to Yongfu Palace and pass on my message. The wedding and funeral in Wuding County Prince's Mansion will be arranged by oneself." Thinking of the queen's appearance, he even lost the patience to explain it himself.

In fact, he didn't care about the attitude of Xu Ze and the prince, because he didn't intend to follow the wish of the Ning family.The question that Xu Ze thought of, as an emperor, wouldn't he understand it?The prince's words were childish, but the Ning family wanted to ask for a marriage right away, and they were indeed using power to oppress others.He has been with Xu Zejun and his ministers for many years, and they know each other well.Three generations of pure ministers of the Xu family, the Xu family didn't want to change, and he didn't want to change either.

Of course, maybe the Ning family didn't have any other thoughts, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?He admitted that in terms of temperament, he prefers the fourth prince and the seventh prince, but this kind of liking is nothing more than the affection between father and son.However, he himself understands what can and cannot be done, but his relatives don't necessarily think so... So, it's time to suppress their momentum.

Xu Ye didn't know what happened in the palace. He quickly completed all the formalities for the name change for the brother and sister, sent the new road to the tavern, and went out of the city to visit Wutong Academy. return.

"He is Wang Shanzhang's favorite student. Because he didn't want to take the imperial examination, he went back to his hometown to set up Yubei Academy eight years ago. When you arrive in Jinling, bring this letter to visit this person, and you will be able to enroll." Xu Ye sent a letter to Wang Shanhai from Wutong Academy. The letter from the head of the mountain was passed to Gu Yanqing.

At this time, the alley outside Beiwangxuan was only filled with the rustling of animals, and the watchmen and patrols had not yet arrived.

Gu Yanqing took the letter and gave him a deep bow, "Thank you."

"You don't need to look outside, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Xu Ye patted the young boy's frail shoulder lovingly, and said: "There are many Jiangnan families entrenched in Jinling. Today, 15 years ago, they severely punished Jiangnan officials. Families fought each other and fell, and the few who are still active today are the chances of survival that they took the initiative to sell their in-laws and allies back then. Be careful when you go to the local area, and if you encounter difficulties, send letters back.” He won a complete victory, but in the following two years, those confidantes who helped him clean up the Jiangnan officialdom all died one after another.

Gu Yanqing nodded obediently, like an obedient child.Xu Ye knew it would be useless to talk too much. This path was chosen by their brother and sister, so they will definitely be able to make a fortune in their own way.

After explaining some things to pay attention to on the way, the two of them said goodbye.

When he returned to Xu's house, it was past midnight, and the maid on duty in Xu Ze's study was waiting for him at the main entrance.Finally looking forward to his appearance, he urged him to go to the study, saying that the master had been waiting all night.

"How did I hear that you sent someone to join the Ning family?" What a coincidence, the Ning family wanted to marry the Xu family, and the Xu family wanted to make trouble for the Ning family.

Thinking it was a big deal, Xu Ye was tired all day, instead of waiting for training, he collapsed at will, and told Xu Ze that Cai Yu secretly followed the Gu family brothers and sisters to Qingliang Temple.

He didn't want to seek bad luck for the Ning family, but Qingliang Temple had a lot of problems in comparison, and he just happened to hear from the group of cronies that there was an elder who was a censor in his family who was going to visit the Ning family to occupy the way in Qingliang Temple. After arousing public grievances, Xu Ze's disciples also cooperated.

"The princess of Wuding County entered the palace the day before yesterday and asked the queen to ask His Majesty for a marriage decree, and wants you to be the son-in-law of the Ning family." Xu Ze's tone was quite teasing.

Sure enough, the boy's face fell down, "Ning Ying?"

Xu Ze nodded, "I heard that she is a kind-hearted and virtuous woman, a rare woman."

Xu Ye changed into a more comfortable position, looked at his fingernails and said leisurely: "The kindness and virtuousness are cultivated by the family style. Nowadays, which woman doesn't flaunt herself for the sake of marrying well? But the skin is different, that's God. I am such a superficial and greedy person, I can't bear to face people with mediocre looks day and night." He remembered that Ning Ying looked pretty, and she relied on her white skin to make up for the mediocrity of her facial features, as well as the fact that she was the prostitute of Zhongming Dingshi's family. Extra points for style.Of course, it wasn't because of the other person's appearance that he shouldn't get married.

Seeing that his son said it clearly and logically, Xu Ze almost believed it, and said in a strange way: "This is what I told the emperor as my father. My son is a bastard, and he can't climb up to the county prince's mansion."

Xu Ye sat up straight, "We will deal with it like this from now on."

A heavy book was thrown over, with the word "roll".

On the day when the little brothers and sisters set off, they happened to meet the new champion, the second place, and Tanhua parading around the street.After this day, Xu Ye will go to the Hanlin Academy to take office seriously.Weng Qimin took Gu Changyan with one hand and Weng Fan with the other, and walked through the crowd. It took a lot of effort to squeeze into the front row.

"Xu Zhilie, Xu Zhilie."

"Xu Liu, look over here, we are here."

Upstairs in Xianming, a group of young masters huddled in front of the window, yelling at Xu Ye who had just walked down.

Xu Ye raised his head and mouthed to them: "Let's go play." Then he looked straight ahead and let the officials of the Ministry of Rites lead the way straight.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he stuck to a small figure in the crowd on the left. He tilted his head slightly, and met the other's shining face, his heart trembled slightly.

As the team kept moving forward, Xu Ye adjusted his posture slightly, but with such a misleading effort, there was only a sea of ​​people in sight.

South gate
The siblings of the Weng family were crying so hard that Weng Qimin held Gu Changyan in his arms and would not let go.

"I will write you a letter when I settle down. If you can travel far away, you can find me in Jinling." Gu Changyan comforted her.

"Can it be the same? Belief is not a person. Seeing a letter is worse than seeing a person." Weng Qimin was only one year older than his younger brother and sister. He was also a child, and he didn't want to restrain himself when he started crying.

Gu Changyan wiped her face, and said patiently, "Sister Weng, we will definitely come back in a few years, so just treat it like...a little goodbye is better than a newlywed."

Weng Qimin sniffed, "The husband can wait."

After comforting the big one, Gu Changyan walked up to Weng Fan and squatted down, holding his little hand, "Xiao Fan is a real man now, and will protect your sister, okay?"

Weng Fan nodded with tears in his eyes, "I will protect my sister, and I will protect you and brother in the future. You must come back."

Gu Changyan patted his head in satisfaction, "It's a deal."

The people from the Escort had been waiting for a long time, and they couldn't delay any longer, after all, they were not only escorting their brother and sister's family, but also other people and goods.

After getting into the carriage, the two brothers and sisters waved to the siblings of the Weng family. Gu Yanqing ordered Jiujiu to put down the curtain of the carriage. At the same time, the coachman gave a shout, and the carriage started to move quickly. After a while, they moved away from the city gate.

At the same time, the Prince's Mansion of Wuding County was not so comfortable.

It's annoying that the emperor didn't agree to grant the marriage, but this morning, three consecutive censors impeached the female relatives of the county palace to block the way, causing public resentment to boil even worse.Although the emperor just reprimanded him and ordered the Prince of Wuding to restrain his family, the news spread quickly, and it was found out who was from the Ning family who went to Qingliang Temple that day.The reputations of the county princess and the ladies were more or less affected.

I wanted to take advantage of today's good day to mention the matter of marrying the Xu family from the sidelines, but now I can only wait for the limelight to pass.

When Xu Ze saw the black face of Prince Wuding, he guessed that the other party would not let it go.In fact, the Xu family is really not very prominent now, why must the daughter of the county prince marry the son of the minister.There are obviously a bunch of children from meritorious families to choose from.Xu Ze finally had to admit that it was his son's deceitful appearance that caused the trouble.

"Which family in Jinling is the most prosperous now?" Xu Ye gnawed on an apple and looked for Da Xu Ze in the practice room.

"Wu family, Jing family, what?"

"Jing family?" Xu Ye recalled that the wife of Bai Yueguang Song Shaoxi whom the little brother and sister's biological mother Chen Mengling met privately some time ago was from a Jiangnan family, it seems to be this Jing family.

Xu Ze glanced at him, "The Jing family has a lot of official careers, but the Wu family... is more complicated. What are you going to do?"

Xu Ye took a bite of the apple and rolled his eyes, "What can I do? I'm going to stay at the Imperial Academy tomorrow." Before that, he had expressed to Xu Ze that he hoped to let it out, but Xu Ze thought that no matter what he had to do it first. Staying in the Hanlin Academy for a period of time, this resume is very important for a civil servant.Xu Ye is famous as a playboy, but he has never been a willful and impulsive person inside, so Xu Ze made such a request, and he didn't force it anymore.

"Okay, I have already said hello to Xue Youzhi, the prefect of Jinling, and you will honestly stay in Beijing for a few years."

"Come on." Xu Ye was absent-minded.

Seeing him slapping his ass and about to leave, Xu Ze called him in time, "That girl from the Ning family seems to be interested in you, so be careful." Try not to run into each other, and if you do, keep your distance and measure, and be careful not to touch her. Following the way of others.In a high position, no one has one or two political enemies.When someone with a heart wants to take advantage of you, they will use all kinds of tricks.There is a big family with a splendid family, and there has never been a lot of dirty things inside.He knew what his son wanted, so he naturally wanted to remind him not to get into a show.

Xu Ye is innocent, "There are so many people in the world without self-knowledge. My young master, I am better than her. Wouldn't she be ashamed of me? Also, she has read a few books, so she has the nerve to dream of becoming the number one scholar." ?”

"Comparing beauty and talent with women, the master champion is really promising." This son is always in the same place, for fear that others will not know that he has a thick skin.Xu is helpless at all, "Just know what you have in mind. If you want to avoid peach blossoms, you have to do what you did in the past, and you will do what you will do in the future." A bad reputation is bad, anyway, if you endure it for a few more years... there should be no need to cover up like this edge.Xu Ze waited silently.

Xu Ye threw away the leftover apples, "Then I'll go to Lushui Pavilion to find Master Guang Zhi." After saying a word, he disappeared.

Time passed quickly, and the brothers and sisters entered Jinling City smoothly under the escort of bodyguards.Due to lack of manpower, they didn't send anyone down to buy a house in advance, so they had to live in the inn for a short time.Fortunately, Jinling City is prosperous and there are many good inns, so he settled down in Kuilinyuan on the day he entered the city.

"Miss, this servant has already paid half a month's rent in advance." Wen Xiang presented the note written by the accountant.

Gu Changyan accepted the note, and at this time Jiujiu also came back with a food box, "Young Master and Miss, I bought some local dishes and steamed buns. I heard that the food in Jinling is too sweet. If you are not used to eating it, I will think about it." Although following along The two little masters also had a lot of time, and she knew that they were not too particular about food and clothing, but she was still a little worried that they would not be able to eat.

These days, the horses and horses are exhausted, and the two brothers and sisters have not eaten and rested well on the road. If they are not acclimatized because of the eating habits here, it will be troublesome.
