Chapter 234 Queen Selection
It was dark and the moon was particularly bright.
There were enough lights around the yard to make it brighter.
The night breeze brought coolness, and the aroma from the kitchen wafted out in waves, making the whole Dongshan Village salivate.
People in Dongshan Village can now eat meat, and the children don’t have to cry because of their greed.
Under the eaves, Yunqi stepped aside, pursed her lips and didn't want to quarrel with Yuanbao, as she couldn't win the quarrel.
Yun Zhang floated down from the eaves like a leaf, rushed over and hugged her aunt carefully, saying, "Luckily, I have you by my side." She touched her aunt's belly carefully and said with relief, "If I don't have an older sister, I still have a younger sister."
Guo Qiongzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was still young, but she was going to marry her daughter off? Yuanbao was the best, running all sweaty. Guo Qiongzhi fixed Yuanbao's hair and clothes.
Yunzhang turned into a beauty again and walked up to Mengdan.
Mengdan has a baby face and looks younger than a girl.
Yun Zhang said seriously: "Are you ready for your family to come to your house? If you bully my eldest sister, I promise to come to your house and beat you up if she is unhappy."
Mengdan held on.
Yun Zhang said: "My mother's family is not just me, it's our whole family, and there may be more in the future."
Meng Dan felt tremendous pressure and said carefully: "What if I am bullied?" He had a baby face and looked rather pitiful.
Song Gongming stopped drinking and watched the fun seriously, thinking at the same time.
Yun Zhang thought about it and felt very sympathetic towards Master Meng: "Then you have to be prepared and don't be too fragile. Boys are all thick-skinned and need to be more resistant to beatings. Fighting back is not allowed. You are allowed to run, but if you do something wrong, I can pull you back even if you run to the ends of the earth."
Meng Dan trembled and asked innocently, "How much do you want to be able to withstand a beating?"
Yun Zhang said: "My eldest sister is only twelve. She won't get married until she's eighteen."
Meng Dan counted on his fingers and replied, "I'm not in a hurry. The main thing is to settle down first. Anyway, my family has an older brother to inherit the family business. I will be here in the future, so you won't lose your older sister."
Yun Zhang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you have any news?"
Meng Dan found it funny to see the girl squinting her eyes and pretending to be shrewd. He coughed and replied cautiously, "It was mainly because my eldest sister didn't get involved that day. The people in the Meng family said neither too much nor too little, but no one got involved. Someone was acting according to the emperor's orders. Isn't it being handled now? The emperor intends to let my eldest sister help manage the harem."
Yun Zhang widened his eyes and looked at the baby-faced man: "Wow! Then you will become the emperor's uncle? My eldest sister will become the emperor's grandmother?" She shouted, "I want to eat king crabs!"
Meng Dan said hurriedly: "Young lady, please be careful with your words."
Yun Zhang said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? The Li family is full of idiots, and their sons are also idiots. If they were a little smarter, everyone would be more respectable. Anyway, the good days are over, don't always think about more, getting more comes at a price. On the contrary, if you take a step back, you can enjoy life without working, which is really enviable."
Song Gongming nodded quietly. It would be best if the crown prince took the initiative to step down. What was there to argue about? He didn't have the ability. People were pushing him with ulterior motives, knowing that he was stupid so they could control him. Did they think some great scholars really supported the orthodoxy? They just saw that he was stupid.
If the crown prince voluntarily abdicated, it would be good for everyone and would definitely allow him to live comfortably.
But the crown prince doesn't have that brain. Does he think he can keep his position even after forcing the emperor to abdicate?
Let’s not talk about this for now, it’s not what we need to consider.
Yun Zhang and Meng Dan said, "Even if you are the uncle of the emperor, you are still my son-in-law. You must be able to at least withstand three of my eldest brother's moves."
Meng Dan looked at his eldest brother, who was a little younger than him.
But Yun Cheng is the big brother, he has to stand up, he will break through soon.
Meng Dan felt a huge pressure and asked with a sad face: "I'm not marrying my eldest brother."
Yun Zhang responded, "I won't worry if you marry my eldest brother. My eldest sister is the delicate one."
Everyone looked at each other, what was this talking about?
Yun Zhang and Meng Dan said, "Biwen, can you do it? My elder brother is a talented scholar."
Meng Dan covered his baby face and cried, "Why is it so difficult for me?"
Yun Zhang said seriously: "Even if you ask for permission to marry, it will be useless if it doesn't work."
Meng Dan puffed out his chest and said confidently, "Of course I will go back to the capital tomorrow morning."
Song Gongming followed up and said, "I will go back too. We can talk to the emperor and our families ourselves. Anyway, I will be here for the rest of my life."
It doesn’t matter whether my family agrees or not.
Ou Huang followed and said, "I'll go back for a visit too." I'll just play in Weiguo from now on. It's so much fun here.
Ou Huang and Meng Dan are both going to go abroad with King Wei. There are many things to discuss. Although the departure may be sudden, in fact, we need to prepare. How dare we go abroad casually? We can't even find a ship.
Yun Zhang didn't care. She was just a child, she could play around, but important matters like this had to be decided by adults.
Neither Guo Qiongzhi nor Yun Songnian could have imagined that things would be so complicated.
It's not a problem if the old man or old lady looks after their granddaughter and she likes him. As for the uncle or grandmother, it's not a big deal.
Song Gongming and his companions are planning to return to the capital tomorrow. They cannot just eat anything now. They need to prepare and set off early tomorrow morning when the weather gets cooler.
Yunzhang provides food, and there are really crabs.
Song Gongming received more news and shared it with everyone: "Princess Yongping was assassinated. It was probably done by the An family, who wanted to deny it. Someone also told the emperor that Princess Yongping had been a princess for so many years. The emperor directly deposed her, brought the real princess into the palace, and named her Princess Yongfu."
Song Gongming estimated that the emperor was in a good mood and did a lot of things: "The eldest princess of Yongfu wanted to adopt Madam Gan as her adopted daughter, so the emperor gave Madam Zhenlan the title of Princess of Linchuan. The princess wanted to provide for the eldest princess in her old age, and the emperor decided to change the Prince of Qi's Mansion into a princess's mansion."
Yun Zhang asked excitedly, "What about King Qi?"
Song Gongming smiled and said, "The princess refused, saying that three thatched cottages would be enough. But the emperor had already made a decision, and this was compensation for the princess. The palace of the eldest prince was built very large, and the emperor asked to change the west side to the Qi Palace. He also changed the previous palace of Princess Yongping to the Ye Palace."
Yun Zhang clapped his hands: "Is it settled so happily?"
Song Gongming nodded, that’s about it.
Yun Zhang was curious again: "Chen Bao is not dead yet? He is worthy of being the male protagonist."
Song Gongming said: "He is being kept alive by drugs. Concubine Wang De and Chen Bao still have some tricks up their sleeves."
Because this time it was actually very rushed, some of them were not used.
Lin was curious and asked, "Why didn't you depose Consort Shu and Consort De?"
Yun Zhang replied, "I'm afraid the queen will float up to the sky."
Song Gongming nodded, that was about what he meant. The queen was brainless, so this was the only way. However, if the emperor was interested in the eldest granddaughter of Gaoyang Marquis, he could slowly train her and replace her when the time was right.
