Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

Chapter 145

The crown prince secretly sent someone to ask Xiang Yuan to meet at Jinyumanxianglou in the city.Ever since Xiang Yuan was handed over to the Summer Palace, he didn't have any major construction projects on hand, so Gu Kong excused himself.

Jinyu Manxiang Building is located in the most prosperous section of Beijing, and the whole street is full of wine and food business.As soon as you step in, all kinds of brightly colored guises flutter in the wind, which is quite energetic.Among them, the one with the biggest pretense and the highest appearance is Jinyu Manxianglou, and the restaurants and shops on its left and right are all booming in business, with sedan chairs and carriages constantly coming and going.

Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and as he stepped in, he thought to himself: How does the crown prince plan to come here when he is so ostentatious?

Unexpectedly, just stepped into the reserved private room with the first half of his foot, Xiang Yuan saw at a glance that the prince was already sitting firmly in it, Xiang Yuan didn't even pause, and stepped in with the other foot very calmly.

"Sure enough, it's Xiang Qing. There's no one else with this calmness!"

The prince never liked to hold it in front of him.The whole person is extremely casual no matter how he sits or stands, and his speech is even more casual.

"Otherwise, how could you make His Royal Highness look at you differently?"

The prince laughed muffledly, with a trace of complacency on his face.

Xiang Yuan looked at him, and said coolly, "What good news has happened to the prince?"

The prince, who was still laughing before his breath, immediately stopped his smile when he heard the words, and said with a serious face, "I am worried, if I don't smile again, I will be worried to death by that family."

It's not easy for Xiang Yuan to answer this question.

The prince just said it casually, and didn't expect the shrewd Xiang Yuan to act foolishly and join him in criticizing Cheng'en Gongfu.

Someone knocked on the door, and the prince's attendants went to open it. First, a steward came in with a dish, and then came in. Xiang Yuan glanced and found that it was Qi Yun.

"Qi Yun?"

Hearing Xiang Yuan's voice, Qi Yun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and bowed, saying, "Second Brother Xiang!"

Xiang Yuan looked at Qi Yun, then at the prince, with doubts in his eyes.

The prince rubbed his nose awkwardly.

No one would believe him when he said it. He was really aggrieved as a prince.Because the sage has been the only prince for many years, he is naturally protected in an airtight manner, and it is impossible to leave the palace at will. This has caused the prince to be outside, and he really doesn't have much of his own property.In particular, their whereabouts are secretive, and they can avoid people's eyes and ears, and there are very few of them.And if he stayed in one place for a long time, he was afraid that someone who cared about him would figure out the rules. The prince had to change places every time he finally got the chance to leave the palace.It's just that there are many people in the capital, and each family has its own special news channel, so what the prince wants to do, he must be cautious and extra cautious.In the past, when he was young, he came out less often, and this feeling of aggrieved was a little lighter. Now that he is getting older, and has been allowed by the saint to participate in politics, the chances of the prince going out of the palace are greatly increased. As a result, he urgently needs someone who can perfectly hide Identity is a place where you don't have to go through a lot of trouble to meet anyone.

Therefore, under the crown prince's intentional inquiry, Qi Yun, the eldest son of Wu'an Marquis Mansion, who had a good relationship with Xiang Yuan and had shops all over the capital, fell into the eyes of the prince.

As soon as the two parties contacted, it turned out that Lang Youqing's concubine was interested, one wanted to borrow the business convenience of Mr. Qi, and the other wanted to take advantage of the prince's power, and they quickly reached an agreement.Therefore, in Jinyu Manxiang Building, the two who got close by virtue of Xiang Yuan's relationship, like a bear child falling in love with his parents, hurriedly expressed their relationship euphemistically.

Regarding this, Xiang Yuan only had one sentence in his mind: I really want to laugh!

He really didn't know that he was so powerful. If the prince didn't say anything, he respected him as a teacher. It was natural to be nervous, but why did Qi Yun treat him like a little brother meeting a big brother?Could it be that he really has the aura to be the boss?

Thinking wildly and entertaining himself, Xiang Yuan couldn't help laughing.

When he smiled like this, the prince and Qi Yun looked at each other, and both heaved a sigh of relief.

It's hard to say why, but for Xiang Yuan, they just feel that they should show some respect for no reason.

The stewards of the restaurant brought in the dishes in person one after another, and the three of them sat down, eating first.Jinyu Manxianglou is indeed a famous and expensive dish in the capital. It can be seen from the high price that Jinyumanxianglou is definitely worthy of his name. It is a plate of clear fried vegetable leaves, and the price is also the price of ordinary restaurants. double.But it just happens to be loved by someone, and it is not an ordinary love. From the opening to the present, it is said that Jinyu Manxianglou has never been full of seats, which shows that the business is booming.

Qi Yun listened to Xiang Yuan's compliments, and said with a smile: "I am not the only one who knows how to do business, but I know that the second sister-in-law is also a good businessman, and it goes without saying that she is shrewd."

The crown prince followed suit and nodded: "That's true. Zhao Zhengjun is really good at business. I see that the pine and crispy bone chicken in your restaurant should be the silky chicken that Zhao Zhengjun bought from Tongping Mansion, right?"

"Exactly, this dish is now a must-order for every table in Jinyu Manxiang Restaurant. If it is not for limited supply, I am afraid that the amount shipped each time will not be enough for half a month's consumption."

Yuan knew about this matter, and it was Qin Mian who was in charge of transporting the black-bone chicken.As soon as he entered Beijing, Xiang Yu went to fetch people into the mansion. Seeing Xiang Yuan, Qin Mian didn't even bother to attend to the business, so he first confirmed with him whether the broken glazed tiles of the Saint's Summer Palace that he heard on the way were true.

Thinking of Qin Mian's origin, Xiang Yuan couldn't help but attach great importance to it, and explained the matter in detail. Qin Mian hammered his fist and said in a hateful voice: "Where is the matter of Cheng'en Gongfu, the Qin family has nothing to do with this matter." Participate less!"

Because of receiving such important news, Xiang Yuan didn't dare to ask someone to pass it on privately, he only sent someone to meet the prince, so there was a meeting today in Jinyumanxianglou.

"Xiang Qing is saying that the Qin family is involved behind the scenes?"

No wonder the prince was surprised.Although the Qin family is not considered a top-notch family in the capital city, their beautiful girl and younger brother make them in-laws with most of the families in the capital.Such a person who is used to falling in the wind, really can't see that he is capable of such a bold thing.

"I remember that the Qin family has a daughter from the first line, who is married to the eldest son of Wang's family, Wang Liu, and is very valued."

Regarding the complex relationship between these in-laws in Beijing, none of the three understand better than Qi Yun.

Everything related to the four great families in Beijing and China will always become full of conspiracies and tricks.Thinking that they are still pouring dirty water on Cheng Engong's mansion now, the prince is very angry.

No matter how unsatisfactory Cheng En Gong's mansion is, it is also his mother's mother's family, and it is an upright and upright prince's natal family.Although the crown prince is always annoyed that the Cheng'en government can't distinguish the situation and always does things that hinder the legs, he may not be able to watch the Cheng'en government get wronged.Furthermore, with regard to the Duke Cheng's Mansion, the idea behind this is really obvious.

The prince didn't ask where Xiang Yuan's news came from, as long as he had clues, he could follow the clues.This time the enemy is in the clear and he is in the dark. If you don't believe it, you can't find their fox tail.

It was inconvenient for the three of them to talk for too long, and after eating a little, the crown prince left the Jinyu Manxiang Building through a specially opened secret passage.Xiang Yuan thought to himself: Let him go for a while, isn't it the VIP channel!Still an upgrade.

No wonder the prince came and went freely, and he didn't worry about being discovered.The Jinyu Manxiang Building is so prosperous, no one would have thought that the dignified prince would come here to meet people secretly.It's dark under the lights.

This prince is really not simple.As expected, Emperor Jing'an brought it up and taught it himself.

Afterwards, the Summer Palace glazed tile incident was full of twists and turns. The Cheng'en government refused to admit that it ordered someone to do the tile replacement. Even if they locked Prince Zhou in and threatened them, they still did not change their words.Not long after that, they presented iron proofs that someone deliberately framed the Cheng'en government, not only in private, but also in such evil things as murder and silence.The Procuratorate saw that this ironclad evidence was not only evidenced by letters, but also a living person who provided testimony as a witness. The real behind-the-scenes instigator was Qin Siqing, a member of the Ministry of Industry, who was in the family of Taipusi Qinsi. The fifth son of the family, Qin Simiao.The Procuratorate felt that it was not very reliable, and wanted to re-trial, but turned to catch a glimpse of the prince's expression, and immediately froze, and changed the words to summon Qin Simiao immediately.

Qin Simiao naturally refused to admit it, and after several arguments during the trial, someone actually brought in Wang Ming, the second and third son of Wangge's hometown.Suddenly, the wind picked up and wrinkled a pool of spring water.Around the matter of the glazed tiles in the Summer Palace, several forces in Beijing and China competed, and it was quite a posture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.In the end, the Procuratorate ruled that this matter was led by Qin Simiao, who was the principal offender. He was taken into prison, paid 3000 taels of silver, and exiled to Lingnan two months later; , seized his post of Habayashi Guard, and could no longer be an official within three years.

Although the crown prince is not satisfied with this result, but since he is fledgling now, and at least he has removed the suspicion of Duke Cheng's mansion, he no longer cares about it.

After returning to the palace, he reported the matter to Emperor Jing'an in detail. After hearing this, Emperor Jing'an didn't speak for a cup of tea.

The prince felt uneasy, and always felt that the saint's attitude was very problematic. He seemed extremely angry, but he suppressed it.After half a cup of tea, Emperor Jing'an calmed down a little, and asked the prince a few more questions to test his knowledge, and then told the prince to go back.

When Li Qiqian left the palace gate, Emperor Jing'an leaned on the couch tiredly, closed his eyes, and did not move.

Sigong carefully removed the cold tea and replaced it with the cool mung bean soup.Seeing that Emperor Jing'an was still silent, he silently retreated behind Emperor Jing'an.

A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Jing'an opened his eyes and said coldly: "They are testing me! The aristocratic family's ambition to regain power has never been extinguished. Seeing that I am not in good health, I am in a hurry to test my bottom line! "

When Sigong heard this, layers of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back and forehead, he hurriedly came out and knelt down, and said: "The sage is clear, this old slave swears to God, there is absolutely no information about the saint's body violation. If there is such a thing, the old slave No place for slaves to die!"

The saint closed his eyes and waved him to get up.

"I know, it's not your business. I know who leaked this matter."

Sigong was startled when he heard this, and always felt that the saint was planning some great event.It's a pity that now, except for him who can hear a thing or two in front of him, no one knows.

After a few days of trembling, Emperor Jing'an suddenly threw a blockbuster in the court.

The second son of the emperor, adopted by Prince Duan, was in charge of the court for him, and continued his descendants. After reaching the crown, he inherited the throne of Prince Duan.

As soon as this decree came out, the front and rear palaces were shaken.

Not to mention the crying concubine, even the ministers of the court wrote letters one after another, asking the sage to think carefully.

When the prince heard the news, he was stunned.

After reacting, he rushed to see the sage, but unexpectedly the sage didn't see him at all, instead he asked Sigong to come out and tell him to pay more attention to government affairs and not to be distracted by other things.

The prince returned to the East Palace in a daze, and his first thought was to invite Xiang Yuan and the staff of the East Palace to discuss countermeasures.Before the prince could issue an order, Xiang Yuan's letter was delivered first.

Li Qiqian hastily opened it for a closer look, and there were only four words in the letter.

Guard against arrogance and impatience.

Li Qiqian let out a long breath, put down the letter paper, and stayed in the study until the moon was in the sky.On the second day, dressed neatly, with a dignified face, stepped out of the East Palace calmly, and handled government affairs as usual.

When Emperor Jing'an heard the news about the crown prince from his servant, he raised the corners of his lips slightly.
