Chapter 131
Chapter 131
Of course, Cen Mingche must not let Prince Kang succeed.
Who doesn't want to be emperor?
After handing over the errand to the emperor, Cen Mingche returned to his seemingly idle state.
Of course, secret hands and feet are indispensable.
It's just a matter of putting on some makeup and showing it to the emperor.
Cen Mingche's house was strictly controlled and nothing happened, but in the house of his good brother and brother, all kinds of things happened.
Because Liu Qingyu was in charge of the expenditure of intelligence, she also knew all this information, and sometimes talked about unimportant but interesting things like a joke.
For example, a concubine in Prince Kang's palace was pregnant. Later, Princess Kang discovered that the child was not Prince Kang's child, but the concubine's affair with a guard.
For example, because the fourth prince performed well in front of His Majesty and made outstanding plans, King An became jealous and tampered with the horse that the fourth prince usually rode.
For example, the fifth prince fell in love with a girl from the Niu family, but the Niu family didn't like him, so he planned to get rid of the girl's innocence and let the Niu family marry their daughter to him.
……
There are so many different things.
Fortunately, Cen Mingche had strong martial arts skills and resistance to poison. He had several reliable disciples around him, and even the butler Liu Qingyu, so he didn't let these messy hands reach around him.
How touching.
The level of childishness is almost like that of a little girl, but the level of cruelty is unparalleled in the world.
Because Cen Mingche had been in the limelight before, he kept a low profile during this period, so he went to work at the Ministry of Works every day and nodded in front of the emperor.
I also stopped by Lin Mansion to visit.
Mr. Lin is still the same as before. As expected, he is a good-looking man and will be a handsome guy even when he is old.
Lin Ruhai was a little grateful to Cen Mingche. After all, he only had one daughter. Liu Qingyu took care of her when she was kept in the Jia family for such a long time.
Right now, the two former palace maids sent by Liu Qingyu were still serving Sister Lin.
During the holidays, Liu Qingyu never fails to send things to Lin Daiyu.
Maybe it's not a treasure, just something for daily use, and the person who sent it there was very polite.
"Our princess eats/uses it well, so she just wants to give Miss Lin a piece as well."
The servants of the Jia family favored her and put her down, because Mrs. Wang didn't like Lin Daiyu, and she was the housekeeper, so she often made trouble for Sister Lin.
Only the support of the palace can make them restrain themselves.
"How come Mr. Lin has returned to Beijing and hasn't let Miss Lin go home to live?"
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It's obviously a "family scandal should not be made public" expression.
Cen Mingche smiled knowingly and changed the topic to the youngest son of the Lin family.
Yes, not only did Lin Ruhai not die this time, but Sister Lin's younger brother was also saved.
This was one of the reasons why Lin Ruhai was grateful to Cen Mingche - thanks to the medicine he sent, his youngest son's life was saved. It took him two months to survive, and it was not until the beginning of spring that the child slowly recovered.
Now the child is getting older, has entered school, and has been selected as a scholar. He is born in the same mold as Sister Lin, and is very charming and handsome.
It's a pity that my body is too weak and I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the difficulties of the scientific examination in the future.
"Come, Songyan, I have met His Highness King Yi."
The handsome boy saluted solemnly. Cen Mingche felt very fond of him and immediately took off his jade pendant and gave it to him.
"Mr. Lin has a son and a daughter who are both elegant, handsome, and knowledgeable. He is already a rare blessing."
The name of the Lin family's child is Lin Songyan, which is obviously a good sign of Songhe's longevity.
"The student thanked His Highness."
After taking the jade pendant, Lin Songyan bowed again.
"I heard from my father that the student was often sick when he was young, but thanks to the medicine donated by His Highness, he escaped the disaster and has extended his life to this day. I would like to express my gratitude for the life-saving grace."
Cen Mingche received this gift with no regrets.
Because in the original work, this child should have died at the age of three.
Being able to live such a good life now is due to Cen Mingche's change.
"What books are you reading now? Do you still want to take the Juren Examination?"
Lin Songyan smiled shyly.
"Students are too weak and are afraid that they will not be able to get out after entering the examination room."
A good man will go to the end and send Buddha to the West. Cen Mingche immediately made the decision.
"I remember that I should have a set of luck methods for recuperating the body. If I find it someday, I will send it to your home."
After saying that, he smiled at Lin Ruhai and said, "If such a good boy can be like Mr. Lin, riding on a horse and parading through the streets, father and son looking for flowers together, he can have a wonderful conversation."
"Then let me borrow His Highness's kind words."
After returning home, Cen Mingche asked Liu Qingyu about Sister Lin.
Liu Qingyu said playfully: "Oh, the old lady of the Jia family hasn't given up yet and wants to betroth Miss Lin to her Baoyu."
"After all, his father is a fifth-grade official. Even if Jia Baoyu is the grandson of the Duke of the country, how much legacy will he have? What kind of good family can he find?"
"This time Master Lin returned to Beijing and joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs, right? She is the only daughter of the new Minister of Civil Affairs. How could Mrs. Jia be willing to let her go?"
Cen Mingche's brothers wanted to promote their own people to the post of Minister of Civil Affairs, but they never thought that the emperor would choose Lin Ruhai.
This move was really the right one.
Now we are waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival and for Prince Kang to take action.
Tsk, Cen Mingyuan, don’t let me down.
Cen Mingche returned to Beijing in June, August [-]th, which was only two months.
"Your Majesty, now that you know it, do you still want to enter the palace?"
"That's why I want to go even more. Besides, don't you want to enter the palace too?"
Cen Mingche and Liu Qingyu looked at each other and smiled.
"Are you all ready?"
"Ready."
"Let's go, our battlefield is in front."
In order to show their status, the prince and princess wore heavy costumes.
Gold and silver thread, jewelry.
Cen Mingche is now a first-class prince. The complete set of court attire includes: an eight-beam crown decorated with jade cicada cage scarf and mink tail, red Luo Yi, green collar and white gauze middle single, green edge red Luo Shang, red Luo covering the knees, red and white two Large colored silk belt, leather belt, ribbon, white socks and black shoes.
To show identity, pipa jade belt hooks, jade pendants, waist badges, fire tubes, small bamboo knives, wedges, rope awls and other objects should be hung on the leather belt.
That's called a tinkling noise.
Liu Qingyu was even worse.
The princess's clothes are more complicated than the prince's, especially those on her head.
They should wear a true red shirt, a green robe with patterns of Luan, Phoenix and clouds, a dark green rosy hat with clouds and phoenix patterns and jade pendants, and a jade Gui around their neck.
On the head are two crowns of nine zhai, inlaid with precious stones and jade, dotted with green and woven gold. There are pearl peonies on the front and back. There are pick cards on both sides. There are also gold zhai and pearl zhai, lined with green clouds and green leaves.
Cen Mingche shook his head. This thing was made of gold and weighed at least ten kilograms.
A ten-pound thing was placed on my head, and I had to hold it on for several hours, and I had to maintain a dignified manner.
And the clothes were all made of gold and weighed a lot.
A set of dresses for the two of them weighs at least twenty or thirty kilograms in total.
It really means "if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight".
After getting dressed, the two looked at each other.
Liu Qingyu said with a joking smile: "Husband, wearing this outfit, if something happens, will you still be able to fight?"
"The two of us are in love with each other. Your thing looks heavier than mine."
Cen Mingche looked over playfully.
Liu Qingyu raised his hand and touched the Jiuzhai crown on his head.
"Husband, after today, you may have to give me the COVID-[-] vaccine."
"Okay, hit the queen's phoenix crown!"
"Tsk, remember not to hit something so solid, it's too heavy."
