Chapter 307: Willful nonsense
Chapter 307 Willful nonsense
Mrs. Lin did not engage in verbal disputes with Mrs. Yan Sanshao, and she just smiled slightly after hearing this, and did not say anything else.
Too much talk is bound to fail.
She is not Zhao Liya's mother or relative, but an outsider, so it is not easy to help too much, otherwise she will make people talk.
Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Yan Sanshao snorted as if she had punched the cotton, "Anyway, if you want me to say that you can't slap a slap, don't push everything on the second prince. The second prince's heart Simple, without the many twists and turns of others, who knows if I fell into someone's trap! Huh, besides, what kind of person is the second prince, who can win the hunting with the second prince? What a joke! I'll just wait Someone loses and can't lift their heads!"
Mrs. Lin is even more lazy to talk to her.
Other wives listened to Mrs. Lin's words, but all the smart ones kept silent at the moment, or pretended not to hear, or smiled and remained silent.
Otherwise, it will be fine if the second prince wins, but it will be ugly if he loses.
This bet got to the ears of the emperor somehow, but Zhao Xiang was at the side when it was said. it's a little embarrassing
The emperor almost laughed angrily, frowned and scolded: "What nonsense! How can you do such absurd things."
The second imperial concubine's father, Lord Yang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the eldest son of the Shaoqing Yan family of Dali Temple, as well as some other officials, were also driving by the side. The two looked at each other, and Lord Yan also said: "What the emperor said is very true. The thing is really ridiculous! Even if it is a bet, how can you say such a bet. This is not a serious bet, but rather like a willful and ignorant little daughter who is jealous!"
Of the three bettors, only Zhao Liya is a woman. Doesn't this allude to Zhao Liya, so what is it to throw the blame on Zhao Liya?
Zhao Xiang was also angry when he heard the bet. Of course he was annoyed by the second prince, so he said, "Master Yan, do you think someone will bet on your marriage contract? I'll know what happened when they come to ask." , Lord Yan speak carefully, don't rush to talk nonsense."
Master Yan sneered: "The second prince has always been pure, filial and simple, but there are not so many twists and turns! Does Mr. Zhao think that this bet was proposed by the second prince?"
Of course Zhao Xiang thinks so.
But can't say it.
If it is said, the emperor will definitely be unhappy.
You can't think about this question for too long, otherwise you will just slander the second prince and dare not say it. If someone provokes again, the emperor will be unhappy.
As soon as Mr. Yan finished speaking, Zhao Xiang said: "I am not as confident as Mr. Yan, and I am not as confident as Mr. Yan who can only rely on my own guesses to determine various results. Everything is still unknown. I reserve any opinions. I just wait to know the whole picture and see you. Let’s make a judgment based on the facts. Perhaps, there may be some reason or misunderstanding!”
Mrs. Yan was so angry that she stared, what kind of nonsense is this? Doesn't talking for a long time mean nothing?
"Zhao Aiqing is right," but the emperor nodded, agreeing with Zhao Xiang's words very much, Liaoxu laughed and said: "As expected of Zhao Aiqing, she is thoughtful, impartial, and has a noble character. Daqin has a minister like Zhao Aiqing, it's true Great Qin's luck, my luck! Hahahaha!"
Zhao Xiang arched his hands and bent over: "The emperor praises me a lot, but my minister is ashamed. It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the Great Qin Dynasty and the emperor."
"Hahahaha!" The emperor was even happier after hearing that.
Master Yang and Master Yan exchanged looks in secret, feeling almost aggrieved to death! This Zhao Xiang, used to be a stinky rock, smelly and hard, very annoying, but he didn't expect it to be even more disgusting now.
Master Yan was angry and jealous, the more he looked at Zhao Xiang, the more he felt disliked! Angry, he couldn't help but blurted out: "Lord Zhao is a good character, not only loyal to Daqin and the emperor, but also loyal to Daqin's crown prince!"
As soon as the voice fell, the audience fell silent. Those with lower official positions, who were not favored and valued in front of the emperor, even lowered their heads and wished they could shrink back, trying to reduce their sense of existence.
Master Yan immediately regretted the words as soon as she uttered them!
He originally wanted to remind the emperor that no matter how good Zhao Xiang is, he is still the prince's man, and he is against the second prince. Since you value the second prince and want to pass the throne to the second prince, you should alienate Zhao Xiang and just You should be more vigilant about Zhao Xiang, and you should never give him a decent honor.
But he forgot that it is taboo to mention the prince before the emperor.
And if he deliberately mentioned it in front of Zhao Xiang like this, what is it if it is not eye drops?
He is now only looking forward to Zhao Xiang's very tough answer: "I am loyal to the crown prince, what's wrong?"
In this case, the emperor will probably transfer his anger to Zhao Xiang, and he will be able to escape perfectly.
If it was in the past, he is very likely to succeed. At that time, Zhao Xiang thought he was open-minded, selfless and upright. He would not mind saying such things at all, and he would not turn a corner at all when he had to say it.
But now Zhao Xiang is different.
So he didn't answer Master Yan's words, but gave him a cold and expressionless look.
The emperor became angry, and his face sank.
Just because he dotes on the second prince and concubine Yan does not mean that he will indulge everyone in the Yan family without a bottom line. Yan Shaoqing dares to put on eye drops in front of him, what is he trying to do?
Or, what does he think of himself as the emperor?
As a knife in his hand? Who does he want to deal with so he provokes me in front of me?
What outcome does he want to see? Want to see him, the emperor, severely punish Zhao Aiqing? Where did Zhao Aiqing get in his way? That's right, just now Zhao Aiqing didn't agree with his words, did he hate it in his heart?
Zhao Xiang didn't speak for a long time, Lord Yan's hope was broken, and finally "plop!" in the emperor's increasingly ugly face, he knelt down: "Emperor, forgive me! I, I have made a mistake, please forgive me!"
"Slip of speech?" The emperor couldn't help repeating the two words in his mouth, a little dazed.
Faux pas what? Was it a slip of the tongue for mentioning the prince?
At this moment, the emperor felt a rare and inexplicable two-point complex emotion in his heart, and he also softened his heart for the prince who had always been displeased.
He didn't like the prince because he wanted to pass the throne to the second child, but he never thought of killing the prince. After all, he was his own son. As a royal father, he can dislike him, but why should others despise him?
The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became.
When he spoke again, the emperor's tone was completely indifferent: "As the young minister of Dali Temple, you have been an official for many years, but you can't even control your own mouth. I don't even bother to say you are negligent! It’s not suitable for you, you’d better go back and study behind closed doors, and reflect on yourself! Pass on my decree, immediately depose Yan Qi, the young minister of Dali Temple, and send him back to the mansion to study behind closed doors, so as to see the effect!”
