Chapter 236 What a coincidence

 The British Duke couldn't help but interjected: "What do you mean, your Majesty, to let the prince marry Miss Wang San?"

The wise king looked at the British man, frowned slightly, and asked, "Don't you know, Lord?"

 The British Duke looked at the wise king with a confused face, "How long has this been going on? I don't know."

The wise king leaned back, found a comfortable position for himself, thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I thought I told the Duke, but it seems I forgot.

On the day when Zi Qin broke off the engagement with the king, I went to the palace to report the matter to my mother and concubine.

The concubine thought for a long time and summoned Mrs. Shangguan into the palace. The concubine apologized to Mrs. Shangguan on behalf of Ziqin and promised that Mrs. Shangguan would definitely find a good marriage for the third lady.

 Otherwise, how could the Prime Minister’s Office give up?

  After going to court yesterday, I went to pay my respects to my mother and concubine. My mother and concubine talked about this matter with me.

The mother-in-law consulted the king and asked him to think carefully. If the king is willing and Miss Wang San is also willing, the mother and concubine will go to ask the father to grant marriage.

 In this way, we can not only give an explanation to Madam Shangguan, but also win over the Prime Minister's Office. What does the Duke think of this marriage? "

The British official paused and said: "The marriage is naturally a good marriage, but I have wronged the prince."

The wise king smiled lightly and said: "What's the grievance in this? Zi Qin's withdrawal from the engagement is not because of Miss Wang San's fault, but because Zi Qin has his own heart.

Zixun is just a young man from the British prince's family, and he is also an unpopular young man. Miss Wang and Miss Wang are willing to marry him. Now she can marry the king and join the royal family. What reason does she have to refuse? "

   The British minister is speechless. So, there is really nothing to feel aggrieved about.

But the British Duke didn't want the marriage to come true, and said: "What? After all, Miss Wang San has discussed marriage with Zi Qin, and the prince and Zi Qin are cousins. From now on, Zi Qin will still work with the prince.

 Hence, I was worried that the prince might have a grudge. Since the prince has thought clearly and lived a clear life, I naturally agree with this marriage. "

The King Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped his index finger on the armrest, and said slowly: "Zi Qin works with me in the outer courtyard.

If Miss Wang San marries into the prince's palace, she will live in the backyard and it will not hinder the king's actions.

Since everyone thinks this marriage is a good match, tomorrow I will go to the palace to return to my mother and concubine, who will arrange the arrangements.

 That’s it for today, Mr. Qin and Staff Chen will go and do your work. "

 Chen Yunhao and Qin Xuyao ​​stood up to say goodbye.

When the two men retreated, the wise king looked at the British Duke and asked, "The Duke is here today. Is there something wrong?"

 The British public put down his tea cup, nodded and replied, "Ye and Ziqin have returned home."

The wise king sat up straight and asked with a bit of joy on his face, "When did he come back? Is he willing to come back? Is he no longer angry?"

“I came back to the house after breakfast. When I came over, Ye was serving your grandmother in Rong’an Hall, and Ziqin was in Shuyingyuan. He is willing to come back, so he should not be angry!”

Speaking of this, the British Duke was also aggrieved. He felt that Lu Ziqin should know in his heart that it was also for his own good that he had chosen this marriage for him. The British father did not say this.

The wise king knocked on the handrail and warned: "I know that Ziqin is soft-hearted and affectionate, so he will definitely go back.

Now that he is back, please don’t annoy him anymore and let him live happily in the mansion. Whatever Zi Qin wants, the Duke will give it to him. Don't hold him back any longer. You must not treat him the way you treated Zi Ran. Do you understand? "

The British Duke said disapprovingly: "Zi Qin's temper is inherently stubborn. If we let him do whatever we want, will he raise his tail to the sky? He is even more self-righteous!"

The wise king shook his head, "No, others may, but not Ziqin. Does the Duke know why my father likes him so much?"

 The British Duke shook his head.

The wise king looked at the British Duke and said seriously: "My father said that Zi Qin is extremely self-disciplined.

Eunuch Gao said that the rules and laws seemed to be melted into his bones.

Zi Qin is Zi Qin. Even in front of his father, he just stays true to himself, calm and calm. Therefore, the Duke's worries will not happen. After Ziqin came back, did he talk about his marriage? "

The British Duke shook his head: "No. Dingkun's letter said that he would leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival and arrive in Beijing in the middle of winter. Ziqin's marriage may be discussed after Dingkun comes back. He has to prepare for exams these days and has no energy to do anything else."

The King Xian's eyes lit up again, "Will uncle arrive in the middle of winter? That's great. There are many people in the Gyeonggi Camp who are friends with uncle. When uncle comes back, we will take the opportunity to win over these people."

 The British Duke asked: "What does the Emperor mean by establishing a crown prince? Is there any movement?"

The wise king shook his head, "I don't know yet. I have asked to see you several times, but my father refused because I was too busy. In the past few days, my father has not even been to my mother and concubine."

The British Duke asked: "The emperor has not been to Yongning Palace? Have you been to other palaces?"

The King Xian nodded, "I went to Huaqing three times, Weiyang Palace twice, Jingyang Palace once, but I didn't go to Yongning Palace."

After hearing this, the British Duke's face darkened and he said: "So, the emperor is still angry. Didn't the empress take the initiative to find the emperor?"

The wise king said: "How come my mother and concubine didn't go? She went there several times, but my father refused because he was too busy. That's why I am anxious for you to ease the conflict with Ziqin. This time, Ziqin must be asked to come forward. No more."

The British Duke nodded, "Yes, I know. I will go back and tell Ziqin to let him go to the palace."

The wise king shook his head and said, "It's better for me to go, just in time to see my grandmother."

The British Duke said: "That's fine. The prince has a deep relationship with him. It would be better for the prince to tell him personally."

The wise king nodded and said, "The Duke of Guo will go to see the King for tea first. I will go to the Duke's Mansion. The Duke will come back later, okay?"

 The British Duke nodded and said: "Okay, as for the Prime Minister, how far do I need to disclose it?"

The wise king thought for a while and said, "There is no need to reveal anything. As for marrying Miss Wang San, my mother and concubine will take care of it, and the Duke can just go and have tea."

The British Duke nodded in agreement and stood up to leave.

After the wise king waited for the prince to leave, he asked someone to come in and help him change his clothes.

 A quarter of an hour later, the wise king drove to the British government's mansion.

Lu Ziqin was reading in the study when Ruxuan came in and reported, "Sir, the wise king has come this way from Rong'an Hall."

Lu Ziqin looked up, frowned slightly, and said, "The wise king is here? What a coincidence?"

Ruxuan nodded and said: "I have inquired about it, and the prince has not been here during the past few days since the old lady was ill. He only had some nourishing things sent over."

Lu Ziqin nodded, "I understand." After saying that, Lu Ziqin put down the book in his hand, stood up and went out.

Lu Ziqin greeted the wise king at the entrance of the courtyard. He leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty!"

The wise king came over with a smile and said bluntly: "I heard from Zijian that you were going back to the house today, so I came here. I went to see my grandmother first. How are you doing recently?"

Lu Ziqin knew that Lu Zijian was now the chief clerk in Prince Xian's Mansion.

Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Thanks to your Majesty, I have been well recently. Your Majesty, please come in!"

Lu Ziqin politely allowed the wise king to enter the courtyard. The wise king stepped into the courtyard first, stood at the door, looked around the courtyard, and said: "Your place is still elegant. Once you stand here, your heart will instantly become peaceful."

Lu Ziqin stood beside the wise king and said, "Your Majesty, you have given me the reward."

The wise king pointed at the peach tree in the yard that was full of peaches with a folding fan and said: "When I was a child, I liked this tree the most. We would lie on the branches and eat peaches, and Ru'an and Chengyun would hang around under the tree. He looked at the two of us nervously, fearing that we might fall from the tree by accident.

I still remember that you can’t climb trees, and you can’t stand my test. Every time you say that you will sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman and let Ruan Ruxuan and others push you up. "

Lu Ziqin pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "How many years has it been? Your Majesty still remembers it!"

The wise king smiled and said: "The interesting things in childhood are the most unforgettable. How can I not remember them?

 There are too many memories of this king in your courtyard.

Those days were the happiest and happiest days for me. It's better if people don't grow up. When you grow up, you will have more troubles. "

The wise king spoke as if he was lost in memories, with a look of nostalgia and a little sadness on his face.

Lu Ziqin took the words and said honestly: "How can a person not grow up? I think it is good to grow up. My lord, please come to the room."

For Lu Ziqin, childhood memories are like endless medicine. Every time he thinks of them, he only feels bitter in his mouth and bitter in his heart.

The wise king withdrew his gaze and said, "That's right. How can a person not grow up? Let's go." As he said that, he walked forward along the corridor.

 The two of them went to the living room. Ru'an came in, served tea, and then left.

The wise king picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "We haven't gotten together for a long time. When will we make an appointment with Jiang Si and the others to get together?"

Lu Ziqin nodded and said: "I have free time. It mainly depends on Wang Ye and Jiang Si. When it is convenient for you, just send me a letter."

The wise king wanted to get close to Lu Ziqin as soon as possible, so he said: "It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. How about we have dinner together today?"

 Just in time, Liu Yu returned to Beijing, so I took the opportunity to pick him up. Jiang Si and the others went over to the Yamen without delay. "

Lu Ziqin originally wanted to go to Wutong Lane to have dinner with Gu Huayu, but after hearing what the Xian Wang said, it was too late to postpone it.

Seeing Lu Ziqin's hesitation, the wise king asked, "What? Ziqin is inconvenient today?"

 Lv Ziqin shook his head, "No, it's convenient."

The wise king said: "Then let's make it tonight, and someone will come."

Chengyun came in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

King Xian ordered: "Send someone to book a private room in Fanlou, and then send a message to Jiang Si, Wende, and Liu Yu, asking them to gather at Fanlou."

 Chengyun owes him the favor.

 Lv Ziqin asked: "Liu Yu has returned to Beijing? How long has it been?"

"I arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday. Yesterday the King met him at the entrance of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to do business. By the way, he was transferred back to Beijing from Huzhou and worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He will take office next month. I did not expect that, He was promoted so quickly."

The King Xian really didn't expect that if he had known that Liu Yu could be transferred back to the capital and enter the Sixth Ministry, he would not have pushed his father to the position of Minister of War.

 Lv Ziqin nodded and said: "With Liu Yu's talent, it will only be a matter of time before he enters the Sixth Department.

I remember that the emperor read his article and was full of praise for it. The emperor also asked me to write down my thoughts after reading it. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for several years. "

“Father also read his article to you? How come I don’t know about it?” asked the wise king.

Lu Ziqin looked at the wise king and said nothing. Knowing that he had made a mistake, the wise king said with a smile: "He has been in office these years and has not returned to the capital. I have just met him. How is your book? I am too worried. You are so beautiful~www .readwn.com~Always unforgettable.”

Lu Ziqin shook his head and said: "As I get older, my memory is not as good as when I was a child. I can't forget photographic memory now. I have to read an article two or three times before I can remember it."

The wise king smiled and said: "For someone like me who can only remember it after reading it ten or eight times, you are already very powerful."

Lu Ziqin pursed his lips and said, "Did you read it ten or eight times? You are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han, and you didn't put your mind on the book at all."

The wise king smiled and said: "If I can hide this from Mr. Yang, I can't hide it from you."

The two talked about interesting things about reading and joked with each other, which eliminated the sense of alienation they had just met.

Unknowingly, after chatting for more than half an hour, Chengyun came in and said: "Sir, the location in Fan Tower has been reserved.

The Fourth Master Jiang went over after getting off the Yamen. When Chengzhi was looking for Commander Hua in Guiyun Pavilion, the Second Master was with Commander Hua. Commander Hua told the Second Master that they were going to Fanlou together. Uncle Liu responded and said it was time to apply. "

The wise king nodded, "I understand. Is the Duke back?"

Chengyun responded: "Go back to your Majesty, the Duke of Guo has not returned home yet."

 “I got it, go down.”

 Cheng is allowed to retire.

The wise king looked at the hourglass and said, "It's almost time, shall we go there?"

Lu Ziqin nodded and said to Ruxuan: "Have someone tell mother that the prince and I have gone out and we will not have dinner at the mansion."

 Ruxuan turned around and gave instructions.

Lu Ziqin and Xian Wang came out of Shuyingyuan. Xian Wang asked: "How to get there? Are we in the same car?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head, "It's a hot day, so I won't go and squeeze the prince. I'll take my own car."

The wise king nodded, "Okay, let's go."

On the way, Chengyun saw that King Xian was in a good mood and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, has the Sixth Master agreed to enter the palace?"

The wise king suppressed his smile and glanced over with cold eyes.

Seeing this, Chengyun hurriedly lowered his head, leaned forward and said, "I know I was wrong, please punish me."

The wise king said coldly: "Go back and wash the one-month Gongtong."

Chengyun shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Yes, I have written it down."

The wise king asked: "Do you know why I punish you?"

Chengyun replied: "Young man has exceeded the rules. This is not the young man's responsibility."

The wise king nodded and said, "I guess you are self-aware. Considering that you have been with me for many years, I will give you a lighter punishment. Otherwise, you should be sent to Zhuangzi."

Chengyun was so frightened that he slipped from the low stool and knelt on the ground, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, I don't dare to do it anymore."

King Xian glanced at Chengyun who was kneeling in the carriage, and said calmly: "The road up is extremely difficult. If I am surrounded by ignorant people, it will only hinder me. I, King. What's the point of keeping you? Use your brain more before you speak or do something."

Chengyun nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, "I'll take note of it."

The wise king said coldly: "Get up."

 After thanking him, he got up and sat on a low stool.
