Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 290
Zhao Ying felt that if he could not get the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion, and the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were going to marry, in this case, other princes would definitely win them over.If they were drawn in by other people, it would be very bad for them.

After the servant packed up his things, he retreated. It could be seen that Zhao Ying was in a bad mood and his anger was high.

Zhao Ying sat on the huanghuali wood stool, clenched his hands into fists, and slammed it on the huanghuali wood table beside him. Zhao Ying was thinking about what could be good for him. An idea arises.

Zhao Ying had an idea in his heart, so naturally he was no longer unhappy. With a slight arch on his face, he stood up and called someone in. After the person came in, he told the person: "Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace."

The servant was busy, so he hurriedly withdrew to prepare the carriage, but after a while, the servant came back and said that the carriage was ready.

Zhao Ying got into the carriage, and the stove in the carriage was burning. It could be seen that it had been burning for a while before Zhao Ying got into the carriage.

The carriage is very spacious, and there is a small square table in the middle. Zhao Ying picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. Because Zhao Ying didn't let the servant sit in the same carriage as him, the servant was in front. Sitting with the coachman, Zhao Ying had to do everything by himself.

Zhao Ying thought about it again and again, and felt that his idea was too perfect. If it goes well, it will kill two birds with one stone.Zhao Ying thought, if those people cannot be used by him, then he should push them to the forefront so that others would not dare to use them.Although it does not seem to be of much benefit to oneself, it is not good to others either.

The carriage slowly arrived in front of the palace gate, the servant came down from the front, ran to the back and rushed to Zhao Ying who was inside the carriage and said: "Your Highness, Third Prince, we are here."

Zhao Ying poked his head out of the carriage and felt the coldness outside. He put on a black cloak and tightened his clothes before getting out of the carriage.

Because of Zhao Ying's status, it was not difficult to enter the imperial palace. After entering the imperial palace, Zhao Ying went straight to the emperor's palace. When he arrived at the emperor's palace, he talked to a little eunuch and asked the little eunuch to go in and announce his request to see his father. Things, and then waited outside to be summoned by the emperor.

The emperor was writing calligraphy at this time, but he was very relaxed. Hearing that the eunuch came in and said that the third prince Zhao Ying was begging to see him, he was still very curious. He hadn't started to go to court yet, and he didn't know why Zhao Ying came this time.However, the emperor didn't think too much, so he asked Zhao Ying to come in.

After Zhao Ying came in, he first bowed to the emperor: "I have seen my father."

The emperor waved Zhao Ying to get up, and then asked Zhao Ying to sit down. A eunuch served a cup of tea to Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying took a sip of the tea and felt that the emperor was different from others. Even the tea was better than others. many.

Seeing Zhao Ying slowly sipping tea, the emperor couldn't help but chuckled, and asked, "Why are you here today?"

Straightforward, without hiding what was in his heart, Zhao Ying put down his teacup after hearing the emperor's question, staring at the emperor's eyes, still not in a hurry, and replied slowly: "Father, my son is here today. I want to announce the good news to my father."

The emperor was puzzled, he didn't know why he liked it, the emperor didn't know why, so he naturally wanted to ask: "What does Ying Er say? What do you like?"

"The prime minister is my father's right-hand man, and the general is my father's inseparable right-hand man. Now that Xiao Lin from the general's mansion is going to marry Zheng Jingning from the prime minister's mansion, it is naturally a happy event, and Ying'er naturally wants to congratulate my father." Zhao Yingyi A very happy look, serious tone.

When the emperor heard it, he knew Zhao Ying's purpose. It turned out that it was like this. Although it seemed that Zhao Ying said congratulations, it seemed that he really thought it was very good, but what Zhao Ying said meant that the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion were married. The power should not be underestimated. Although the emperor is the lord of a country, but with one article and one military, two capable generals turned against the emperor at the same time. I am afraid that the emperor has no power to resist.

The emperor naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Ying's words, and laughed: "Hahaha, this is of course a good thing, if you don't say it, I'm afraid it will take a while before I know about it!"

Then he continued: "As I remember, the son of General Xiao's family is called Xiao Lin, and he is also a rare talent. Is he going to get married?"

Zhao Ying nodded and replied: "Return to father, that's right."

The emperor also nodded, and then told the eunuch beside him: "Go and see what gifts the prime minister's mansion will give to marry a daughter, and what gifts will the general's mansion need to marry a daughter-in-law."

The eunuch has been with the emperor for many years, so he naturally knew that the emperor asked him to prepare, but he just dismissed him. There are some things that a slave can't know, so he just replied "yes" lightly, and then went down to see What an appropriate gift for both.

After there was no one else in the room, the emperor spoke again: "Ying'er thinks, what kind of gift should Father prepare to give away?"

Zhao Ying felt that the opportunity had come, so he said: "My son thinks that although Xiao Lin is twenty-two, he doesn't have a woman by his side. Thinking about it, after Zheng Jingning married, the two of them naturally have a lot of knowledge about those things. If you don’t understand, why not give Xiao Lin a woman from the emperor, and teach Xiao Lin first, so as to avoid embarrassment when they get married.”

Naturally, Zhao Ying wouldn't worry about these things for Xiao Lin. Originally, he also thought about giving Xiao Lin a woman himself, but thinking about Xiao Lin's temper, he also knew that Xiao Lin would definitely refuse, but if he said It's a woman bestowed by the emperor, whether it's the Xiao family or Xiao Lin, even if there are thousands of people who don't want it in their hearts, they dare not refuse.

The emperor also felt that Zhao Ying's words made some sense, so he nodded, and called a little eunuch to give orders on the matter.

Zhao Ying saw that things were facing him.Wanting to develop in the right direction, I am also very happy in my heart. If Xiao Lin had another woman half a month before getting married, how would Zheng Jingning react?Do you think that Xiao Lin didn't pay much attention to the marriage between the two, and the relationship with Xiao Lin was very bad.

When Zhao Ying thought of this, he smiled even more happily. The emperor saw Zhao Ying smiling so happily. After thinking about what he said and what he did, he still didn't quite understand why Zhao Ying was so happy.

Although the emperor didn't understand, he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he asked Zhao Ying if he had anything else to do, and Zhao Ying casually said some things. The emperor didn't seem to know anything important when he saw him. His purpose today is to come for the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
