Chapter 586 Xiang Ling’s Shock

When Jia Lian walked in again, Ping’er, who had just been wearing a gorgeous brocade dress, was gone. Instead, under the north window, a person was sitting, wearing dark green bottoms. A girl wearing a skirt, a moon-white thin-sleeved shirt, and a light-colored belt, dressed as a maid.

When Jia Lian saw it, he was stunned.

Although he could no longer remember Ping'er's specific dress that day, Jia Lian knew that she was probably like that at that time.

From this, Jia Lian knew that this girl was not a temporary idea, but had already had this intention. Otherwise, how could she be prepared for this? I guess it was just the right time today, so I made such an initiative to him.

"Second Master Lian is here, you, are you here to find our girl?"

Ping'er, who was picking up the soles of his shoes, saw Jia Lian, seemed to be in a trance, and stood up. , some timid salutes and greetings.

Jia Lian laughed. That's fine, because he originally felt that Ping'er was usually too sensible. As the master, he was in debt because Sister Feng didn't love her too much. Since she likes this kind of sentiment, why don't she fulfill her wish?

So, Jia Lian also put away some of the righteousness he had developed over the years, put on the frivolous look he hated most, strolled over, and said with a smile: "I came to see you girls originally. , But now, I have changed my mind."

"You... what do you want to do? You are so rude. Our girl went to see my wife and will be back soon."

"Rude, why is this young master so rude? Is it like this, or is it like this... Jie Jie Jie..."

"Ying ying ying ying."

　……

While Jia Lian was playing an exciting and enjoyable little game with his concubine in the house, the upper-class mansion in the middle of the capital also received what was supposed to be received by the clan’s children scolding the emperor. He was punished by the emperor to guard the Taimiao.

This matter didn’t seem to be a big deal, and even the emperor didn’t seem to have much reaction. He just punished the unscrupulous disciples with minor punishments and severe punishments.

But because this incident happened at such a critical juncture, it is difficult not to make people speculate more. In particular, it is even more intriguing to know that the descendants of the clan are complaining because they are dissatisfied with the new tax law that the imperial court is about to promulgate.

Prince Yun’s Mansion, when the third prince knew the news, after a little thought, he felt that there was a lot of room for maneuver in this matter!

His advisers agreed with him and offered suggestions one after another.

"Your Highness, this is the handle given by God regarding the Crown Prince. If we can do this well, it will be of great benefit to Your Highness' great cause!"

"The prince is already close to the clan and the old ministers in the court. These people are conservative and stubborn, and they are deeply disliked by your majesty. This time your majesty wants to implement new policies, but these people are hindered in many ways, so your majesty has already been angry with the prince. It means.

Now this thing has happened again, especially among the clan members who were punished to go to the Ancestral Temple, many of them are people who often walk around the Prince's Mansion. If we take a moment, The words they said were disrespectful to His Majesty came out of the mouth of the prince. Otherwise, how could those dandy boys have the courage to slander the Holy Gong?

As long as this method is used properly, the prince is expected to There are hundreds of people but no one can argue. In this way, even if His Majesty cannot depose him as the Crown Prince, it will not be difficult for Your Majesty to be greatly disappointed in Him and shake the Crown Prince's status in His Majesty's mind."

"In addition, Your Highness should, as always, support His Majesty's new policy. According to the villain's judgment, if Your Majesty wants to implement the new tax law and convince the world's scholars, nobles, and relatives, he must set an example with the clan. However, most of the clan members If you are stubborn and stubborn, and will not give in, your Majesty will be in a dilemma.

Therefore, the villain suggested that if His Majesty can persuade the people in the clan to support the new deal, even if he fails to achieve full success, as long as it can be seen by Your Majesty. Comparing His Highness's filial piety and loyalty to the cowardly and incompetent Crown Prince, His Highness's status in His Majesty's mind will grow day by day, which will also increase the chance of winning for His Majesty's future great cause!"

"Finally, seeing the Emperor's Thousands of years are approaching. I wonder how prepared your Highness is? If His Highness can come out on top at the Emperor's birthday banquet and make the Emperor and others like His Highness, then a big deal will be decided. This is the most important thing. In comparison, the first two discussions , Contrary to Xiaodaoer, although it is useful, compared with it, it is like a mountain stream and a mighty river and sea, and they are not the same."

　"What you say makes sense."

　"What you say is reasonable. It makes sense..."

The third prince looked at the crowd of confidants and advisers, and his heart was full of pride.

As a prince who is famous for his elegance and virtue, he gathers people with lofty ideals from all over the world for his own use. How can his vulgar and unscrupulous eldest brother compare with him!

But he was born two years too early, so he is the prince, and yet he, a virtuous king praised by everyone, can only bow his head to him and obey his orders all his life?

That’s not fair. Look, that position must be his, and it can only be his!

In the Prince's Mansion, the Prince could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"A group of bastards who fail to accomplish anything but fail more than they do!!"

The prince naturally understands how detrimental today's incident is to him.

Unlike the third prince, he had a concubine who was deeply loved by his father. His concubine had passed away long ago, so he wanted toTo keep his position as prince, he can only rely on the clan and the old officials in the court who pay attention to the order of elders and younger ones.

He has been doing this all these years and has worked hard to do it well. But who would have known that since he ascended the throne, his father has shown an increasingly revolutionary attitude and disliked those old ministers, which made him feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

Many times, he felt that his father looked at him with dissatisfaction. He even doubted whether his father really liked him as his eldest son and whether he really wanted him to be this person. Prince!

Therefore, he was very wary of and suppressed the third prince, who was deeply involved in the city.

At first, the third prince tried his best to disguise himself, but later, I don’t know whether he was completely angered, or whether the third prince felt that he had grown up, and actually no longer concealed his disobedience in front of him, the prince. heart of!

He was angry, but he found that in the current situation, he really had no good way to deal with such a third prince.

That’s right, even their father has only been on the throne for a few years, and even now he is still more or less under the control of Chonghua Palace. Therefore, even if there is a fight, it will not be their turn yet.

But as the prince, he was in the light, and the third prince was in the dark, causing trouble for him everywhere, making him very passive.

It is conceivable that when this incident comes out today, his third emperor brother will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, for fear that his trouble will come soon.

The prince has naturally cultivated some confidants over the years. Seeing that his master was troubled, all of them began to make suggestions.

However, the handle is out there. If you don’t have the power to turn things upside down, you can only wait for the other party to make the first move at this time. Where can you find a good strategy?

Suddenly someone said: "I heard that Your Majesty asked the clan to support the new policy but was not able to get it, and he was worried about this. His Royal Highness has always been close to the clan and won the trust of all the princes. If I can help your Majesty solve this problem The difficult problem can make His Majesty Longyan happy and solve the adversity in front of him."

The prince shook his head and said: "Gu He has never thought about it. But the old guys in the clan are very greedy. In recent years, Gu He has been very greedy. I have never treated them badly, but when it comes to using them, there are always many people who are pushy and perfunctory, and few who are sincere.

They are all things that don’t let go of rabbits when they see rabbits, not to mention this involvement. It would be so difficult for them to give up such benefits voluntarily."

"In fact, it is not the case. The reason why the clan insists on opposing the New Deal is based on the laws of the ancestors, and on the other hand, it is also greed. To cause trouble. As the prince, the future lord of the world, if he can prepare generous gifts and make serious promises, he may not be able to persuade him."

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this. Yes, he doesn't seem toThere is no need to persuade all the clan members to move, as long as a few can be persuaded to let Emperor Ningkang see his filial piety, wouldn't that be enough?

But then there was still some hesitation. He was too embarrassed to say it. Over the years, in order to deal with his difficult Third Emperor brother, he had tried to win over the clan, relatives and others. Which of these people had the smallest appetite?

As a result, the prince himself began to feel embarrassed for money.

This is also the reason why he intervened in Jiangnan Salt Policy. Originally, when the salt policy incident broke out last time, the third prince was ready to bite off a big piece of his flesh. Fortunately, he was well prepared and was able to escape unscathed. Of course, he himself paid a heavy price.

At least he had to restrain himself in the salt administration to prevent Emperor Ning Kang from noticing and bringing up old cases again.

As a result, his Prince's Mansion will be short of sources, which is something he needs to consider.

Suddenly he remembered that the queen had mentioned to him before that she wanted to give him the daughter of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River as a concubine. She also said in secret that the Zhen family was a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River and how big the ancestors and the Tian family were. origins and so on.

He didn’t hear anything else, but he heard that the Zhen family was acting as the agent of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau on the order of the Supreme Emperor. What came to his mind was one word: rich.

So he told the story.

"Hahaha, if this is true, it will indeed be a great help to His Highness. Prince, don't think that the Zhen family is not in the court and leading the army, but this old lady of the Zhen family is the great grandfather. The professed 'County Lord' is quite famous among the clan and nobles. Even in front of the Supreme Emperor, he is rumored to be someone who can speak his mind. That's why the Zhen family has been in charge of the weaving bureau in Jiangnan for so many years.

No one knows how wealthy the Zhen family is, but everyone who has been to Jinling Province knows that the Zhen family is known as the most famous family in Jiangnan!

Therefore, if His Highness the Crown Prince can get help from him, it will be even more powerful."

When the Crown Prince heard this, he began to take this matter seriously. At the same time, he was secretly happy that the Zhen family was just paying it forward. What he was happy about was that he originally thought that the queen was being a matchmaker for him out of boredom, but he didn't expect that the queen had such a deep meaning behind it. Can it be said that the Queen is optimistic about and supports him?

　……

Jia Lian doesn’t care about the quarrel between the prince and the third prince. As long as these two don’t come to trouble him, he doesn’t want to provoke any of them at all.

The emperor is still in his prime. Holding his thigh tightly and not thinking about it is the way to get promoted, make a fortune and survive.

Therefore, after Jia Lian returned home, he completely forgot about the affairs in the palace and hugged his beautiful concubine tenderly.

Look at herThere were still tears on her beautiful and clean face, and bruises could be seen between the raised wrists. Jia Lian couldn't help but feel distressed and amused: "You are also a real person, and you don't know how to scream when it hurts."

Ping'er raised his head and glanced at Jia Lian, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me, I don't feel any pain. I'm very happy..."

Jia Lian looked at the bed curtain speechlessly.

This Ping'er will be a good actor in future generations. When I said I wanted to recreate the scene with him, I really got into it and acted so sincerely from beginning to end.

Apart from not shouting loudly because he was afraid of attracting attention, he had actually experienced the feeling of a handsome young man forcing his hand on a maid from a good family.

This means that even he was brought in and couldn't help but use some force. It's also Ping'er's fault, he just pretended to struggle and grapple for a while, but she played like the real thing, otherwise with his control, he wouldn't hurt his obedient concubine.

Ping'er could naturally see Jia Lian's self-blame. She smiled, stretched out her Guerlain jade finger to touch Jia Lian's face, and looked at her again to show that she was fine, and then she pushed herself up. Make up the bed tent.

Due to the emotions of the two of them just now, they couldn't care so much. Now that she was satisfied, she naturally couldn't keep the evidence and let Sister Feng come to trouble her.

Jia Lian didn’t say anything about helping because he was not afraid of being discovered by Sister Feng. He even thought that it would be good for Sister Feng to find out, but Nizi's understanding in this area was too poor, and she was really a fool to have a master-level figure by her side who didn't know how to ask for advice.

So I just leaned on the bed and watched Ping'er's actions. Because of his graceful figure and soft limbs, Jia Lian soon became interested again, quietly got down on the bed, hugged Ping'er from behind who was about to put away the cups, saucers and tea cups, "Let the little maids come in and clean up, be careful if you hurt your hand."

Ping'er looked at the broken cups and saucers on the ground, blushing. Although she had intended to protect her before, the second master's force was too strong. When he pressed her here, a lot of them were broken, some were broken, and some were not broken.

How could she have the nerve to let the little maids come in to clean up? I'm afraid they thought there was a thief.

"Second Master, go find Xiangling, Ping'er, Ping'er can't bear it..."

This is a lie, she just wants to get rid of Jia Lian so that she can quickly Click to tidy up the house. According to her prediction, Sister Feng will be back soon.

Jia Lian refused to obey, and was about to pick Ping'er up and bully him again, when Xiangling's voice sounded outside the corridor: "Second Master, the master of the Second Sect has come to send a message, please come to Second Master Let’s go to the master’s study room.”

Jia Lian then slowly put down the delicate and soft Ping’er, gave her a big kiss between her white teeth and red lips, and then wiped her mouth.Open the door and come out.

The courtyard was no longer as quiet as when he first came back. The sounds of the little maids laughing and talking in the boiling room, and the "ah-ah" voice of his own baby daughter in the east chamber could all be heard faintly. Come.

However, there was only one person on the main corridor, and that was the silly maid Xiang Ling.

As soon as this girl saw Jia Lian coming out, she looked him up and down and immediately blushed, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then walked over and whispered: "When were you here?"

"No, not for a while..."


"Don't make random guesses, I didn't bully your sister Ping'er, let alone beat her..."

Jia Lian tried to explain, but he found it was unnecessary. Thinking about it, Heping'er was so noisy inside, but no one came to ask outside, it must be the credit of this girl.

So he gently stroked Xiangling’s head and said softly: “I really didn’t lie to you, your sister Ping’er and I were playing around, you will know in the future.”

After saying that, Jia Lian left when Xiang Ling didn’t respond.

But he didn’t know that after he left, Xiangling’s innocent and cute little face lifted up, looking at his back with a look full of panic.

What should I do? Is the second master going to treat me like he did to sister Ping'er...

Thinking of what I heard faintly before, Ping'er's shame, anger, scolding and struggle From the sound, she could imagine how miserable Ping'er inside was being treated!

By the way, Sister Ping'er!

Xiang Ling, who was thinking of something, didn't care about anything. She quickly opened the door and went in. She rushed into the west room and saw only Ping'er, neatly dressed, bending over the heated ondol. Two brocade quilts. Although she couldn't see Ping'er's front, Xiangling could tell just from her skillful movements and brisk and natural posture...

Sister Ping'er, are you in a good mood? ?
