My father is Jiajing

Chapter 432 A fatal plan

Qimuge finally arrived in the capital, and she was arranged to stay temporarily near the Ten Princes' Palace.

The Ten Princes' Palace was the royal residence where underage princes or princes who came to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor lived during the Ming Dynasty.

But unfortunately, the Ten Kings Palace has only been used a few times since its construction.

This was because after Renzong and Xuanzong, the royal family did not have that many offspring, and the royal family and vassal states were not allowed to enter the capital at will, and the emperor would not summon them into the palace.

So gradually the ten princes' palaces fell into disrepair, and only a few of them were still barely able to retain their functions, being used as temporary residences for the emperor's daughters and princesses when they got married.

Apart from this, the Ten Kings Palace is almost an abandoned royal residence.

Originally, the court was thinking of arranging for Princess Qimuge to temporarily live in the Ten Princes' Palace, but after careful consideration by Emperor Jiajing, he believed that although Qimuge was the daughter of Anda, her status was only the same as that of a princess, and she was sent to the capital to be Prince Yu's concubine.

Therefore, in order to reflect the distinction between high and low, and also to reflect the current status of Princess Yu, Qimuge was arranged to wait for her marriage in a second-rate royal residence near the Tenth Prince's Palace.

After Qimuge arrived in the capital, King Jing's wedding went on as scheduled.

Zamusu looked at the festive atmosphere inside and outside the imperial city. He also asked around and found out that this was the wedding of the current emperor's only other son, who was marrying a princess.

After receiving this news, Zamusu was unhappy.

Obviously, their Qimuge was also a noble princess, but why couldn't she marry the emperor's son as a princess? Isn't this looking down on the Tatars?
So Zamusu wanted to find trouble. He sent someone to the Honglu Temple to file a complaint and demand an explanation from the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Zaigui saw the memorial sent by the Honglu Temple requesting an explanation from Zamusu, he could not help but laugh.

Do you really want to marry your sister as a concubine?
Zhu Zaigui directly instructed: "Zamsu was arrogant and disrespectful, and he made irresponsible remarks on important matters. If he behaves like this again, the court must send a letter to the Tatars to punish him."

The current Ming Dynasty is tough, and Zhu Zaigui seems to have some impression of Zamusu, but it is obvious that this impression is not a good one.

Therefore, when Zhu Zaigui commented on this sentence, he did not give any face at all.

Zamusu was furious when he saw the arrogant attitude of the officials of the Honglu Temple and Prince Yu's response. However, he could not tell Qimuge now because he was afraid that if Qimuge also lost his temper and the matter could not be resolved, the consequences would be serious.

Looking at Zamusu, who had also died down, Zhu Zaigui couldn't help but snort, "This is what we call foreign countries, they are all bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong."

Then Zhu Zaigui put the matter of Zamusu behind him and continued to focus on Zhu Zaizhen's wedding.

Two days later, Zhu Zaizhen's wedding was held as scheduled. As the regent and the elder brother in charge, Zhu Zaigui naturally went to the palace to congratulate him in person.

Seeing Zhu Zaizhen getting married obediently, Zhu Zaigui couldn't help but feel relieved. He was afraid that Zhu Zaizhen would do something weird at this critical moment.

At the same time, Zhu Zaigui also saw the true appearance of Princess Wang, the wife of Prince Jing. She was indeed much more beautiful than in the portrait. She had long dark eyebrows, bright eyes, white teeth, a slender waist like a willow, and an outstanding figure. She looked graceful and gentle.

It’s a pity that she had a bad fate. After following Zhu Zaizhen, she was destined to be a widow for the rest of her life.

But what can we do about it?

From ancient times to the present, in this cannibalistic feudal ethics, there are many people who are even more miserable than her.

At least she is still a high and mighty princess who can enjoy wealth and glory all her life. This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for her life.

But even so, if there is a choice, Zhu Zaizhen believes that not many women would choose to live such a life for the rest of their lives, because it is too inhumane. After watching Zhu Zaizhen and Princess Jing complete their ceremony, Zhu Zaizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Zaigui walked up to Zhu Zaizhen, who was wearing wedding clothes, holding a wine glass and said, "From today on, you are also the head of the family. If you have any questions about the affairs in the palace, ask the housekeepers. If you are worried about them, you can also visit the third brother's house more often. I will ask your sisters-in-law to tell you about the ins and outs of the mansion."

Zhu Zaizhen hummed, "Thank you, Third Brother. I understand."

Zhu Zaigui drank the wine in the cup, and then went to greet other court ministers and nobles who were attending King Jing's wedding.

When these people saw Zhu Zaigui coming, they all stood up respectfully, picked up their wine glasses and drank a full cup without hesitation, without any hesitation.

This shows how much influence identity and status have on a person.

You have to know that in the society before Zhu Zaigui traveled through time, with his identity and status at that time, if he attended some important banquets and had to toast others, he would be three points inferior to others. He would have to persuade, beg, and urge others again and again before they would be willing to drink the wine in the glass.

And once you meet the kind of person who drinks badly and talks a lot, it is almost impossible to proceed.

So in his life before traveling through time, one of the things Zhu Zaigui hated most was attending those inexplicably important banquets, because he really didn't want to drink with those pretentious people who talked nonsense and urged him to drink.

But now Zhu Zaigui only needed to raise his glass slightly and said nothing else. This group of people were more active than each other, fearing that if they drank slowly, Zhu Zaigui would think they were ungrateful.

Seeing these people being so sensible, Zhu Zaigui just smiled slightly. He didn't make things difficult for anyone, nor did he chat with anyone.

After all, the protagonist today is not him, but Zhu Zaizhen.

At Zhu Zaizhen's wedding, he merely served as a guest.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui only took a sip and did not drink much.

After Zhu Zaizhen finished toasting with the main guests, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhu Zaigui, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

At this time, Zhu Zaizhen's eunuch companion quietly approached and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready. Do you really want to do this?"

Zhu Zaizhen's chief eunuch was in great turmoil. He had never expected that his master would be so crazy and do something so beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Zhu Zaizhen whispered, "What are you afraid of? My brother said he would help me, King Jing, to keep his bloodline going. I just made one more preparation. As long as this is accomplished, who would dare to laugh at my incompetence?"

Zhu Zaizhen's chief eunuch was also horrified when he heard what Zhu Zaizhen said. He really didn't know what was wrong with his own prince that he dared to do such a horrific thing.

But he had no choice, because the eunuch Otomo knew that this was the only chance. If he couldn't seize it, Prince Jing's Mansion might not have a second chance.

So, after taking a deep breath, Zhu Zaizhen's eunuch companion said, "I will go and invite Prince Yu over now."

Zhu Zaizhen nodded, "Go ahead, everything will go according to plan."
