Spring Forest Evening

A girl in the 21st century thinks simply, and now in her mind, going home to see her grandma is a big deal. Shen Fu, an ancient prince, has a good impression of him. The gap in all aspects is too great, and if you continue to follow him, who knows what risks lie ahead?

Now that he is known to be the third princess, and the royal family can't afford to offend him, Zhou Heng feels that it's better for him to go back to the 21st century and live a happy life of watching dramas, playing with mobile phones, and ordering takeout.

And because I have talked with Shen Fushen and know his request for marriage, I think this person will not give in easily, otherwise, the emperor, queen mother, and three princesses are all the people with the highest power, so you can just ask him directly for a consultation Well, why bother to do such a roundabout trap?

So Zhou Heng felt very relieved. First, Shen Fu would definitely not follow. Second, the biggest boss, the emperor, probably didn't know about it, and the queen mother and daughter might have some unknown fears, so they didn't dare to ask the emperor or Shen Fu directly. his will.

In this way, although at the beginning the enemy was in the dark and I was in the light, but now I am in the dark and the enemy is in the light, and things are easy to handle.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng thought: "Then let's just wait. Since these people want to make contributions, there will naturally be some movement soon. Perhaps, they want to make some great contributions to the Governor's Mansion, and then the Governor's Mansion is talking to the emperor. When asking for a reward, take the opportunity to ask the third princess to marry Shen Fu?"

"That's right! It must be like this!" Zhou Heng felt that he had grasped the thinking of the third princess, so that he could explain what those people said about "making meritorious deeds and conferring a wife's shadow". In other words, the Governor's Mansion must be the same. Use this as a bait, otherwise, just marrying Prince Jing's mansion would not count as meritorious deeds, and only if you have a relationship with the emperor can you have the possibility of conferring a wife.

"Also." Seeing that the other three people in the room were listening to him seriously at this time, Zhou Heng was a little complacent, and it seemed that his thinking was okay:

"Then what a talented person, I think it should be someone from the Governor's Mansion, a think tank or something, and a confidant, otherwise he wouldn't have gone directly to the dead boatman's house to spread rumors, but the rest of the people have nothing to do with the Governor's Mansion Related, maybe they recruited from the capital to prevent everyone from noticing, under the guise that one day they can make their wives and sons, so it is reasonable for people on both sides to dislike each other."

"And the boatman who killed us on Liuhu Lake at that time should be with the group of recruits. After all, he must be very familiar with the situation in Liuhu Lake, and his accent must not make Mammy Huang and the others suspicious. , people generally don’t think that it has something to do with the Governor’s Mansion far away in Zhongnan Road, so that there will be no traces left.”

"It's just that he is a murderer with the biggest target. Just in case, he must have escaped from the capital on the same day. The rest of the people stayed in Tangquan Town. They stayed in Tangquan Town for a few days and saw that nothing happened, so they came to Zhongnan according to the original plan. Do keep working."

"Thinking about it now, there were no people on both sides of the river at that time, maybe it was to make it easier for him to go ashore and escape, but I just happened to be lucky, so I was not found."

That's right, that's right, everything makes sense, including the fact that Nanny Huang and other natives of the capital didn't notice the boatman's anomaly at the time, including the rumors spread by Mr. The murderer, he has already come to Zhongnan Road, okay?

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng also took a deep breath: "It seems that we have to stay here for a while in the South Central Road. It turns out that the base of the three princesses is here."

Zhou Heng first called Shen Fu by her first name, which made Uncle He look at her meaningfully. It seems that this Miss Zhou is also jealous (jealous) about this matter, but this is also reasonable Among them, I heard that this Miss Zhou has a deep affection for Prince Jing, now that she is sure that the third princess wants to snatch her husband and son-in-law from her, why don't you be in a hurry.

Later, when I heard her analysis so well, I felt admiration in my heart. It seems that this Miss Zhou was delayed by the life in the deep house and compound in the past. I didn't expect that once she fell down, she would not only be able to quickly adapt to this kind of life on the go as if nothing had happened. Complaints can also help me to make suggestions, no wonder I was able to persuade the prince to follow me to this Zhongnan Road.

Of course, in front of Chun Yu and his senior sister, Uncle He didn't say anything, but he secretly reminded himself that he would have to explain to Shen Fu in private with this Miss Zhou, let alone the emperor's own sister, even if she was the emperor's own sister. The emperor's own daughter, Shen Fu is also unwilling, not that it is inconvenient to be a son-in-law. This court has no restrictions on the son-in-law. This can be seen from the fact that the son-in-law of Princess Zhaohuai was named the Duke of Zhen by Emperor Wu .

However, as a king with a different surname, Prince Jing’s Mansion is a special existence. Since the old Prince Jing, he has sworn to be only a pure minister, with loyalty to the emperor as his first priority. Only in this way can the palace be replaced safely. Even if it's just a son-in-law, how do you know the intricate relationship behind the princess?

As Ms. Zhou Jia said, there is still a follow-up to "constructing meritorious deeds" on the side of Zhongnan Road, but since Emperor Wu of this dynasty, the frontiers have been stable, the people have lived in peace, and even God has favored them. There have been no major natural or man-made disasters in the past few decades. Except for the gang of barbarians who invaded from the northwest border back then, who were almost wiped out by the old Prince Jing later, there was no great opportunity to make contributions.

Uncle He thinks that he thinks farther in this regard. No one in the royal family is simple. To say that the Governor’s Mansion is only to help his granddaughter achieve her wish to marry into Prince Jing’s Mansion, Uncle He finds it unbelievable. After all, the three princesses’ temperament I don't know how to be a person, but the empress dowager who helped the emperor ascend to the throne was not a vegetarian. This can also be seen when I think back to the situation when the Zhou family entered the palace to ask for a marriage.

According to what the old prince told himself when he came back, Mrs. Zhou put on an old face and went to the palace to beg the queen mother, but the queen mother did not readily agree, and used the excuse of discussing with the emperor.

Looking at it now, maybe the queen mother had her own plans at that time. After all, the third princess was only a year or two younger than Miss Zhou, and she was also of marriageable age. This mother-in-law has always respected the emperor, but she didn't let the fat water flow into her field first. After hearing that Mrs. Zhou entered the palace, she directly called the old prince into the palace and took the initiative to mention this marriage. It was convincing the empress dowager who felt that the Zhou family's family status was too low, and it can be said that she contributed to this matter.

Some things cannot stand careful scrutiny. The reason given by the empress dowager at the beginning was high-sounding, saying that she felt sorry for Shen Fu, a nephew, and felt that Miss Zhou's daughter, a fifth-rank official, was not worthy of him as a son of the royal family, but the emperor and the old prince He said that he was grateful for the achievements of the noble concubine of the Zhou family's ancestor, and also lamented the decline of the Zhou family, which once had a princess's glory. He expressed his desire to help the Zhou family, and said that the Zhou and Chen families were relatives, and they were more relatives. It's not bad either.

The emperor said so. Although the old prince didn't have time to think about it at the time, he also felt that the Zhou family was not an unreasonable family. They had been in contact with each other for many years, and the Miss Zhou family was also a good girl, so he readily agreed.

It's just that Shen Fu didn't expect Shen Fu's reaction to be a bit big. Hearing the old prince's sighs several times, it seemed that Miss Zhou's haircut was a hot topic, so he regretted that he promised too hastily at that time.

Later, the old prince died of illness, and Shen Fu had to observe filial piety for three years, which made me feel relieved for him, after all, if he got married at that time, maybe it would just add a couple of resentful spouses.

Of course, if the two had married three years ago, these things would not be the case now.

But it's not necessarily true, since the third princess has the guts to commit murder day in and day out, how can Miss Zhou, who married into the palace, end up with an accidental death?

Thinking of this, Uncle He suddenly felt that the Queen Mother and her daughter were not good people, and that the Governor's Mansion was also playing tricks on tigers. It must be that the Queen Mother saw that her daughter was about to be squandered, and it just so happened that the third princess was interested in Prince Jing, so she allowed her to treat Miss Zhou's family well. down.

But will the emperor be happy with it?

She is an empress dowager with only one princess beside her. Although the emperor got her help when he ascended the throne, if the third princess really married into Prince Jing's mansion, if she could get such a good son-in-law as Shen Fu, she would definitely have more weight in front of the emperor. .

Well, there is a Governor's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion, a combination of powerful forces, one is in charge of the Zhongnan Road, and the other has actual influence on the Northwest Road. Uncle He thinks, no matter how he thinks about it, he thinks that the emperor will not be happy to see it.

But if you want to say that the emperor didn't know anything about it, Uncle He cautiously felt that it was hard to say, judging from his words that he only gave Shen Fu half a year's time limit, maybe half a year later he would order him to marry the third princess.

Of course, maybe this decree is also due to the help of the Queen Mother and others, for example... What great achievements have "inexplicably" done by the Governor's Mansion?

Thinking of this, Uncle He felt that the whole idea suddenly became clear:

So Liuhu's removal of Ms. Zhou is just the beginning. What happened in Zhongnan Road afterwards may be the most critical part of what the Queen Mother and her daughter are planning. As far as people are concerned, they can get a great credit, so that the emperor can reward them and "enclose their wives and sons", and the Governor's Mansion can use this to make demands on the emperor through the mouth of the queen mother.Of course, the request was for the emperor to agree to the marriage between the third princess and Shen Fu.

What a good deal!

Unexpectedly, Uncle He patted the table with emotion: "That's right, I'll send someone back to the capital by writing tonight, and ask the prince to send more people over! Be sure to report what these people did later. Watch it closely!"

Zhou Heng was naturally very happy when he heard it. That's fine. In that case, so what if the boatman can't be found?Knowing that Shen Fu is unwilling to marry the third princess, if I help him prevent it before it happens, wouldn't it be logical to ask him to take out the horse head jade carving, and then exchange it with the Miss Zhou who is stranded in the 21st century? Shen Fu can then marry Miss Zhou according to the original marriage contract to avoid future troubles.

Originally, Shen Fu looked like he didn't want to get the heirloom for him, so when he persuaded him to come to Zhongnan Road, he still mentioned it "incidentally", but the guy's expression changed, and he still didn't agree in the end.

But if he knew that the third princess had tried his best to trick him and would not give up until he achieved his goal, then he would help him break such a conspiracy, and he would have to agree to take out the precious jade carving, right?

The more Zhou Heng thought about it, the happier he became, so he happily suggested:

"Then let's eat peach blossom fish tomorrow. Ah Yu and I have already inquired about it in the afternoon. There is indeed a peach blossom river here. Peach blossom fish is produced in the peach blossom river. It is said to be delicious! I will treat you tomorrow, oh no, it should be Uncle He, how about a treat, let's find a restaurant and have a good taste? Auntie, Ah Yu, do you agree?"

This made the other two people laugh too. Uncle He saw the rare smiling face of his senior sister, and responded with a smile:

"Okay, then rest early tonight, let's eat peach blossom fish at noon tomorrow!"
