Chapter 1: Hou Fu's eldest son【20】
The hunting party held by the eldest princess in the name of Li Changjin was held in a mountain outside the capital in the name of the eldest princess.
In order to make this hunt look decent, the eldest princess really invited a lot of people to participate.
The valiant eldest princess in a bright red riding suit rode on a jujube red steed, and glanced at the young men who came to participate in the hunting party, only to find that the target she really wanted to invite did not come.
The eldest princess asked displeasedly, "Why didn't the prince of Weining Houfu come? Did the invitation not arrive?"
"His Royal Highness, the invitation was sent to Weining Hou's mansion, but for some unknown reason, the prince of Weining Hou's mansion didn't come, so the servant will go to inquire!"
"Don't ask!" Li Changjin walked over with the horse, raised his head slightly to look at the eldest princess sitting on the horse, and said lightly, "Brother Fu contracted the cold a few days ago and can't come."
The first reaction of the eldest princess was disbelief, "Why doesn't this princess know?"
Li Changjin said: "This is what Brother Fu sent someone to tell me. Brother Fu was sick at home a few days ago. Is there any leave?"
The eldest princess didn't trust Li Changjin's words very much, so she sent someone to inquire about the situation in Weining Hou's mansion. She learned from her own mouth that Fu Yuanjia was really recuperating at home, so she gave up.
However, although the eldest princess is happy with a beautiful man, she will not let go of her affairs and visit her because Yuan Jia is ill.
The cold-tempered eldest princess just regretted that she couldn't see the most beautiful man in the capital today, so she left the beautiful man behind and turned her attention to the young man who came to the hunting party.
These men may not be as handsome as Fu Yuanjia, but there are many of them with good stature. They wear tight-fitting clothes and stretch out their thin waist and abdomen muscles, which makes the eldest princess linger.
Maybe most people didn't pay much attention to the behavior of the eldest princess. After all, these people are not as good as the eldest princess, and they dare not pay more attention to the princess's face. But Li Changjin, who was beside the eldest princess, noticed it. He only felt that the pastoral area above his head was bigger...
Li Changjin's hand holding the reins couldn't help clenching tightly, and the joints were all white. He tried to suppress his anger and took the lead: "Drive—the hunting begins!"
Others followed suit on horseback and began the hunting process.
The eldest princess looked at the backs of these people galloping on horses with regret, glanced at the little guard following her, and said, "Then let's go too!"
Don't look at the eldest princess riding a horse and wearing a horse-riding suit, but in fact, her riding skills are very ordinary, and she dare not let the horse run, but can only let the horse stroll in small steps.
The guards beside the eldest princess took the initiative to hold the reins for her, and the two got rid of the others who followed and walked into the dense forest.
At this time, the people who were chasing Li Changjin in front had long since disappeared, and for a while, only the two of them were left.
Sitting on the horse's back, the eldest princess felt agitated and turned over to dismount.
The guard hurriedly reached out to help her. The princess put her hand on the guard's strong arm, her eyes moved, and she looked tenderly at the guard who was supporting her...
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Yuan Jia was sitting on the soft couch reading a book. Because he had to pretend to be sick, he seldom left the hospital these days. When reading a book, he also asked Mo Yan to help him bring the book over and read it in the room.
At this time, Wei Ninghou came. As soon as he came in, Yuan Jia stood up and saluted: "Father!"
Wei Ninghou raised his hand slightly: "Sit!"
The father and son sat opposite each other, Wei Ninghou said to Yuan Jia: "You don't have to worry about the princess entangled with you in the future. She was involved in the hunting party held by Li Changjin, the prince of Cheng'en's mansion, with her guards. The people from the hunting party bumped into each other, and even if your Majesty issued a seal order afterwards, almost everyone in the capital would know about it. The eldest princess was also banned by His Majesty for a year, at least she won’t be able to come out during this year.”
Yuan Jia looked at Wei Ninghou with a little surprise. He didn't expect Wei Ninghou to shoot so quickly and accurately! Don't save face for the royal family at all, and directly let the princess lose face.
Yuan Jia didn't think about this method, but he is still only the prince of Weining Hou's house after all, and there are not many people who use it. If he does this kind of thing, he will definitely be tracked down by the emperor. He is not sure that he can hide it from the emperor. Do not act rashly before an investigation.
Therefore, Yuan Jia's idea is to only let Li Changjin catch the exact evidence that the eldest princess is messing with people, so that Queen Li's lineage and the eldest princess are completely separated, and then use Queen Li's hand to deal with the eldest princess.
As long as the eldest princess is not embarrassed by the public, the emperor will not investigate the ins and outs of the matter, and I believe that Duke Cheng'en will not dare to tell the emperor about it, otherwise they will definitely be pressured by the emperor and cannot take revenge on the eldest princess.
Although Yuan Jia's plan is cumbersome, it is very safe and will not involve himself.
It's just that the eldest princess's early entanglement made Yuan Jia have to ask Weininghou for help, but Weininghou didn't make a move, and it was a blockbuster when he did!
Marquis Weining has been in business for many years, and naturally has much more manpower than Yuanjia. He calculated that the affair between the eldest princess and the guards was exposed to the public. Afterwards, the emperor was furious to investigate, but he did not find out about Marquis Weining. On the contrary, more absurd things about the eldest princess were found out.
Of course, the emperor didn't think it was her fault that the eldest princess was so absurd. It must have been the ill-intentioned guards around the eldest princess who daringly seduced or forced the princess. In a rage, the emperor directly executed all the guards around the eldest princess, no matter what. Are there innocent people in there?
The Li family of Cheng'en's mansion lost all face, the emperor comforted him with words, and found another reason to give a large reward, that is, he never mentioned the matter of the eldest princess and Li Changjin's divorce.
Li Changjin has lost all face. Although this is because the emperor is not good at publicizing this matter, there are always those who do not deal with Li Changjin, who implicitly satirizes him as a green-haired bastard.
Li Changjin hated the eldest princess to the core. The same Li Changjin's mother, Mrs. Chengen, hated the eldest princess. Mrs. Chengen entered the palace and cried in front of Queen Li, which made Queen Li very upset.
Empress Li still values her family very much. Of course, the most important of her brother's children is Li Changjin, the prince, otherwise she would not want to marry the emperor's favorite princess for this nephew.
It turned out that the eldest princess turned out to be such a virtuous person, which not only embarrassed the Li family, but also made Queen Li and the eighth prince a laughing stock in the eyes of other queen concubines and princes.
However, the emperor's favor for the eldest princess was only slightly reduced, and he did not mean to give up this daughter. Queen Li did not dare to fight against the emperor.
But the embarrassment still made Empress Li silently remember: Ben Gong raised you for a few years and asked you to marry Ben Gong's own nephew, but you turned around and put a green hat on Ben Gong's nephew and made Ben Gong face. All lost as a laughing stock! This account must be counted to the end!
＜＜＜＜＜＜
The eldest princess was confined in the princess mansion and could not come out within a year. Yuan Jia also planned to "recover" and continue to go to work.
As a result, just after Yuan Jia's condition improved, he found that the medicinal soup that he had boiled in the kitchen to make a medicinal bath had a few more medicinals that should not be there.
Probably the person who added something to the medicinal soup didn't think that Yuanjia's medicinal soup was not used to treat colds, nor was it intended to be drunk, nor did they expect that Yuanjia himself was proficient in pharmacology.
Yuan Jia immediately sent someone to summon the doctor and invited Mrs. Weining Hou.
When Mrs. Weining Hou rushed over, before she could ask Yuan Jia what was going on, she heard the doctor who had checked the herbal soup say, "In addition to the herbs in the prescription, there are a few more herbs in this herbal soup. All of them are combined with medicinal materials for treating wind-cold."
This doctor is a doctor raised by Weining Hou's mansion to treat the master of Hou's mansion. He has superb medical skills. Although he is not very accurate when he diagnoses the happy pulse for Fang Yan and Luo Qing, this does not hinder his ability to treat diseases.
Yuan Jia's pretending to be sick naturally requires the doctor to cooperate in acting.
Therefore, when the doctor discovered that the medicinal soup used by his son Fu Yuanjia for the medicinal bath had some medicinal materials that should not be there, he thought that Fu Yuanjia made this medicinal soup in the name of brewing medicinal soup for treating wind-cold. I just thought of the key point that these herbs and the herbs for the treatment of wind-cold are compatible.
After Mrs. Weining Hou heard the doctor's words, she immediately understood that someone wanted to harm her son!
Mrs. Weining Hou was afraid for a while, if Yuan Jia didn't have the cold, he was pretending to be sick, and he himself noticed that the medicine soup was not right, then the conspiracy of the mastermind behind the scenes would have succeeded!
"Check! We must find out!"
Furious, Mrs. Weining Hou immediately mobilized all her staff to investigate the truth. In particular, all servants in the kitchen were arrested, and those who had access to Yuanjia Herbal Soup were severely interrogated. .
Mrs. Weining Hou has been in charge of the Hou Mansion's internal affairs for so many years, although there will be some omissions, but after her serious investigation, the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be hidden.
When Weininghou returned to the mansion, the truth had already been found out by Mrs. Weininghou.
When Weining Hou entered the door, he found that the atmosphere of the Hou Mansion was solemn, and the servants were as quiet as chickens, not daring to lift their heads, as if they were scared into quails.
Seeing Mrs. Weininghou sitting on the head with an indifferent face and kneeling on the ground below, Weininghou suddenly realized that apart from major events in Hou's mansion, otherwise his wife would not have made such a big battle.
Wei Ninghou asked, "Madam, what happened?"
Wei Ninghou found that in addition to some servants, there were Aunt Zhang and Fu Yuanze among the people kneeling below.
An unpleasant feeling rose in the heart, Wei Ninghou's eyes fell on Zhang Yiniang, who was silent with his head down.
Mrs. Weining Hou said coldly: "Master Hou! You must not cover up this **** today! She actually put a medicine in Yuanjia's medicinal soup that is compatible with the medicinal herbs for the treatment of wind and cold! She is going to kill my son! !"
Wei Ninghou was shocked, and his face suddenly sank.
Although he knew that Yuan Jia didn't really have a cold, he was pretending to be sick, and the medicinal soup with ingredients was not for drinking. Yuan Jia should be fine, but Wei Ninghou was still very worried: "Is Yuan Jia all right?"
When Mrs. Weininghou saw Weininghou's first reaction was to care about her son's safety, the anger in her heart lessened a little, and her tone was a little stiff: "It's okay, Yuan Jia discovered something wrong with the medicinal soup in advance, and it didn't help."
Wei Ning Hou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine!"
