Chapter 44 The Emperor Arrives
The third prince sighed slightly and said, "This emperor is really good at choosing time. Alas! Let's go and meet the emperor with me!"
Jiang Lang and Ge Qing nodded together, and Jiang Lang was somewhat curious in his heart, and he also planned to see what kind of emperor this emperor was.
Following the third prince, Jiang Lang walked towards the door. Without taking a few steps, he saw several people turning out at the door of the arcade. The leader was a handsome young man in white, about twenty years old, with a slightly thin face with a faint smile on his face. Next to him was an old man with wrinkles on his face, but he was white and needless. His eyes, which looked a little timid, did not flash a glimmer of light.
"Can these be Yingzong and Wang Zhen?"
Jiang Lang couldn't help but look at them carefully again, and at this moment, the third prince and Ge Qing suddenly said, "See the Emperor, Your Highness, Princess!"
Princess?
Jiang Lang, who was carefully looking at Yingzong and Wang Zhen, was shocked and looked next to Yingzong. He was shocked. He saw a young girl in yellow clothes standing next to Yingzong. The young girl was not someone else, but the girl who used to hold someone else's neck with a knife.
At this time, Jiang Lang couldn't help but feel that his head was big and he put it on the princess' neck with a knife. Jiang Lang couldn't help but think about it, that he would be beheaded.
Jiang Lang couldn't help but feel a little chill on his neck and lowered his head slightly, but he still clearly felt a pair of wonderful eyes and looked at him. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, and said with a bitter smile: I died before I could get off my master, but I am the most unlucky one.
Just as Jiang Lang was complaining secretly, he heard Yingzong next to him say, "Uncle Wang, don't have to be too polite. I am too idle today, just come and see you!"
The third prince still said in a stern manner: "Thank you for your kindness, the backyard is windy, please go to the garden for a temporary rest!"
Yingzong came today with a purpose, and this had to be agreed by the third prince. He nodded and said, "So let's follow Uncle Wang's arrangements!"
After saying that, he walked towards the garden under the leadership of the third prince.
Jiang Lang, who was walking at the end, was not leaving, nor did he leave, nor did he leave. The princess' eyes always looked at her body, which made Jiang Lang feel that her neck was chilling. If she left, the prince did not say anything. If she left rashly, she was afraid that the prince would be unhappy. After thinking about it, Jiang Lang couldn't think of anything else, and could only walk next to Ge Qing, followed everyone to the pavilion in the garden, and stood behind the third prince, and this pavilion was the pavilion where Zhu Yuqi had just been.
After sitting down, Yingzong looked at the third prince’s standing place and suddenly found that Jiang Lang was very ill, so he said wonderingly: “Uncle Wang, I seem to have never seen your guard before.”
The third prince shouted inwardly: Opportunity.
So he hurriedly said, "Report to the emperor, his name is Wang Dacai, who borrowed it from Jiang Chengzhi, a Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, and planned to let him and Ge Qing protect Qier to Fuzhou."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Jiang Lang and said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen the emperor yet!"
"yes!"
Jiang Lang immediately clasped his fists, then knelt down, and said aloud: "The King of Jinyiwei Dacai met the emperor, long live my emperor!"
Yingzong looked at Jiang Lang, suddenly turned his head and asked Zhu Huanhan next to me, "He is the teacher of Qi Mei who you mentioned to me?"
Zhu Huanhan nodded slightly and said, "It's this person."
Yingzong nodded and said, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Lang kowtowed again, then stood up, feeling somewhat relieved. It seemed that the princess in front of her had no idea of leaving her head.
After Jiang Lang stood up, Yingzong looked at Jiang Lang for a while before sighing: "It turns out that he is also a handsome talent. I didn't know when there was such a person under Jiang Chengzhi."
Hearing Yingzong's praise, Wang Zhen turned his head and looked at Jiang Lang, with an unexpected look in his eyes.
The third prince hurriedly said, "The so-called heroes are young, and my Ming Dynasty is a great country. There are naturally many young talents. They are willing to serve the court. That is also the blessing of the emperor and the people!"
After hearing this, Yingzong was very happy and nodded, "Uncle Wang said it well, but why did you send Mei Qi to Fuzhou?" Only then did Yingzong remember the purpose of his visit this time.
A trace of decline suddenly appeared on the third prince's face and said, "This is a long story. Master, I believe you also know that Qi'er's mother passed away due to difficult labor when she gave birth to Qi'er!"
Yingzong nodded. This was no secret to the royal family. Many people knew about it. After all, Zhu Yuqi's mother was a famous beauty at that time.
The third prince showed a look of longing on his face, and then he calmed down his mood and said, "There was a Qier who had lost his mother and grew up under the care of the wet nurse. As the saying goes, the beautiful lady is not as good as the raising mother. Now Qier's wet nurse has passed away, so it should be that Qier goes to Fuzhou to pay homage. Do you think so? The emperor?'
Speaking of this, the third prince raised his head, looked at Yingzong, and quietly waited for his answer.
Yingzong nodded and said, "A hundred filial piety is the first! Although this wet nurse is not Qi'er's personal mother, Qi'er grew up with her since childhood. As Uncle Wang said, her biological mother is not as big as her adoptive mother."
Seeing that Yingzong said this, the third prince immediately said, "So, I decided to let Qier go to Fuzhou, not only worship, but also mourn her for three years?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Jiang Lang, was shocked.
Zhu Huanhan even said in disbelief: "Three years? Uncle, if Qier keeps mourning for three years, it will delay her marriage!" In this era, it is normal for this woman to get married in her seventies and eighties. Now Zhu Yuqi is eighteen years old. If she keeps mourning for three years, she will be twenty-one years old. If she has not been married yet, she will be laughed at.
Yingzong was also very surprised and said, "Uncle Emperor, you have to think clearly!"
The third prince nodded fiercely, with a very serious face and said, "I would rather Qier be a princess who cannot be married than she would be an unfaithful and unfilial princess!"
Yingzong thought about it and felt that this was right, so he sighed helplessly and said, "Qi'er is Uncle Wang's daughter. Uncle Wang can naturally decide where she goes, but I still ask Uncle Wang to consider it more. After all, this is related to Qi'er's life!"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Wang Zhen next to him and said, "Eunuch Wang, I plan to issue an order to marry you today, but I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Now Qi Mei is still in her mourning period, so it's really hard to talk about marriage."
Wang Zhen immediately bent down and said, "I have been grateful for the emperor's intentions, so I can only blame my Zhongshu for not having that blessing. However, I was a little surprised. I only mentioned the marriage between Zhongshu and the princess to the princess five days ago. Why did the princess's wet nurse die after two days? It's such a coincidence!"
Jiang Lang's heart couldn't help but move. This was also something he was asking about. After all, this matter would not be such a coincidence. At the same time, Jiang Lang also knew that Wang Zhen's status in the court was indeed quite good. You must know that the three princes did not discuss politics in time. That was also the prince, the uncle of the current emperor, and Wang Zhen actually dared to question the third prince in front of the emperor. This shows that he really did not take the third prince seriously in his heart, and the so-called death is the most important thing. Now that others have said they have passed away, they actually doubt the truth of the matter in front of the emperor, but they are suspected of blasphemy.
The third prince stood up at this time and said angrily: "Wang Zhen, what do you mean? Is it still fake? Now that the emperor is here, do you mean that I have deceived the emperor?"
These three princes were also really angry and were quite rude to Wang Zhen.
Yingzong couldn't help but frowned, and was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Zhen's words, and said, "Eunuch Wang, let's stop here when I see the marriage between Wang Zhongshu and Qimei."
Seeing that the emperor spoke, Wang Zhen couldn't speak much and immediately said respectfully: "I obey the order!"
Then Yingzong turned his head to look at the third prince and said, "Uncle Wang is also relieved. Don't be calculating with Eunuch Wang. Now you have decided to go to Fuzhou to mourn. I don't object. However, Fuzhou is far from the capital, and recently there are constant reports that there are many Japanese pirates invading the coastal areas. The safety of this girl is the top priority. Uncle Wang must make good arrangements. If there is insufficient staff, mobilize people from the East Factory or the Jinyiwei to protect it."
"Thank you for your affection for Qier!"
In order to avoid Wang Zhen’s insertion, the third prince immediately said: “I have discussed with Lord Qianhujiang of the Jinyiwei and ask him to send Jinyiwei to protect him along the way. Wang Dacai is one of them!”
