Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person
Chapter 196 The Arrogant Concubine 14
"Father, son and minister..."
The second prince, who led the team over, fell into a subtle silence when he saw the situation in front of him.
what?
what happened?
What about his saving grace!!!
"Your Majesty, I am sorry for being late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me!"
The second prince dismounted, knelt aside, and thought to himself: The men my father brought with him are really good, they killed them all so quickly.
But what about these wolves?
And these assassins, why are there so many of them?
He remembered that he had only arranged seven or eight of them, and now at a glance there were at least twenty assassins lying on the ground!
Finished!
He wouldn't be tricked by anyone, would he?
Emperor Jingzhang looked at him meaningfully and said, "Get up. Fortunately, the prince of Zhongwu Hou arrived in time, otherwise I would have died here."
"Father..."
Without waiting for the second prince to say a few words of compliment, Emperor Jingzhang turned to look at Guo Rongan, "You are good. Today is all thanks to you."
"I don't deserve it, I just did my duty."
Guo Rongan said calmly.
He lowered his head and swallowed nervously.
"This is……"
Emperor Jingzhang looked at Shu Jiao again, with some curiosity in his eyes.
He remembered that the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhongwu Marquis didn’t look like this, right?
“This is… This is…”
Guo Rongan hesitated, "This is my concubine, Shu Jiao."
concubine?
妾!
Emperor Jingzhang remembered.
Everyone in Beijing knew that Guo Rong'an had a favorite concubine, and it turned out to be her.
The scene of Shu Jiao whipping her whip with such power just now was still vivid in his mind. Emperor Jingzhang was silent for a moment and thought to himself:
It is not easy for Prince Guo to have such a concubine.
Is he really not afraid of being beaten to death?
He is indeed a brave man!
"I pay my respects to His Majesty."
Shu Jiao stood next to Guo Rongan and saluted Emperor Jingzhang.
This is not the place or the right time to exchange pleasantries. Emperor Jingzhang has some impression of her, but there are obviously more important things at this time.
Soon, the group started back to the camp.
Emperor Jingzhang ordered people to investigate today's assassination and to appease the court officials who had rushed to the scene in fear after hearing the news.
What spread out was the story of Guo Rongan's heroic rescue of the emperor today.
"Brave and good at fighting?"
"Extraordinary courage?"
"Your Majesty, are you talking about... my son?"
Marquis Zhongwu was summoned into the emperor's tent. After listening to Emperor Jingzhang's words, his eyes were filled with confusion.
It's broad daylight, and he's still dreaming?
Doesn’t he know what his son is like?
Among the words of praise used by Emperor Jingzhang, which one of Guo Rongan's words is worthy of it?
Let alone praise, just the matter of saving the emperor seemed a joke to Marquis Zhongwu at first, and he thought someone was plotting against his Marquis Zhongwu Mansion.
I didn’t expect it to be true!
"nature!"
Emperor Jingzhang nodded, and then said earnestly: "Lord Zhongwu, your son has such ability, why do you let him waste his time? I am in need of talented people around me!"
"You are the three generations of the Zhongwu Marquis family. Each generation has been brave and loyal. You have expanded the territory for our ancestors and pacified the border for me. I am very confident in you."
Marquis Zhongwu: ...
do not worry.
I'm worried!
If Guo Rongan could have been allowed into the officialdom, he would have let him in and had fun with it long ago. Why did he worry about the future of the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion for ten years?
Emperor Jingzhang thought that Marquis Zhongwu deliberately let Guo Rongan pretend to be a dandy, and said that in recognition of his life-saving grace, he would definitely use Guo Rongan.
Marquis Zhongwu was almost about to hug his thigh and yell "No!"
If his brainless son really entered the officialdom, he would probably be cheated to death by others within half a year.
But he couldn't refuse Emperor Jingzhang's reward.
After a moment, he returned to his tent in a daze.
"how?"
The Marquis’ wife asked.
Marquis Zhongwu held his wife, choking with sobs and unable to speak. After a long while, he said, "Madam, let's prepare the coffin first."
Madam Hou turned pale, "How could it be..."
Marquis Zhongwu explained the matter to her in a few words.
After hearing this, the Marquis's wife also felt dizzy, "Does Rong An have to take this position?"
With his temper, he would offend people wherever he served as an official.
He is also likely to become a corrupt official.
Isn't this harmful to people?
What if the emperor finds out that he has no real talent again...
woohoo~
The heads of everyone in the Marquis Zhongwu’s mansion are hanging by a thread, and the only thing left is a fatal blow!
But having said that, the two of them knew in their hearts that they had done a great job in saving the emperor, and as long as his family did not rebel, they could at least protect one generation.
Life should not be lost.
but……
"When we get back home, I will teach Rong An carefully."
Marquis Zhongwu said in a deep voice.
The unspoken rules of officialdom, the collusion among official forces, the infighting among princes... Even if he had to knock a hole in Guo Rongan's head, he would have to make him memorize all of these!
Guo Rongan didn't know yet that private lessons from his father would soon be delivered to his doorstep.
He was holding Shu Jiao and his heart was pounding.
"Scared me to death, scared me to death!"
If he didn't want to lose face, he would really cry out loud in front of Emperor Jingzhang.
"Okay, don't be afraid, isn't this all over?"
Shu Jiao touched his head and said, "Just think about it, you will get a lot of wealth soon! With such a great contribution, the emperor will definitely make you an official."
"That's right. Then what official position do you think the emperor will give me? And you, can I ask the emperor to make you his concubine?"
Guo Rongan has already begun to fantasize about his future as a high-ranking official.
Shu Jiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't even think about it."
The original owner came from a brothel.
Don't be fooled by the fact that she is showing off in the mansion now. In fact, she is just a lowly concubine.
Although she also participated in the rescue activities, the emperor only gave her some gold and silver rewards at most, and the biggest share would definitely go to Guo Rongan.
The emperor would not...at least not now, make her his second wife.
Wen Rong didn't do anything wrong, and she has the support of an old meritorious Earl's Mansion. Even the emperor cannot humiliate her like this.
But even though I can't be your legal wife...
There should be no problem in promoting her to a concubine.
Shu Jiao thought about it and told Guo Rongan the same thing, telling him not to rush forward because of her.
Otherwise, the emperor's favor that he had risked his life to regain would be gone.
Although Guo Rongan was a little unhappy, he still listened to her and did not force her.
After returning to Beijing, Guo Rongan received a reward.
Emperor Jingzhang opened his mouth and gave Shu Jiao half of a small warehouse full of good things, including gold, silver, jade, clothes, and spices. Her status was indeed that of a good family.
Guo Rongan was directly promoted to the palace as an imperial guard, stepping into the fourth rank and becoming the object of envy, jealousy and hatred of many people.
And judging from Emperor Jingzhang's expression, he had no intention of letting Guo Rongan serve as a guard forever.
Just let him transition.
It is not yet known where they will be transferred to and how they will be trained next.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the Mansion of Marquis Zhongwu became a hot spot in the capital.
There was a huge pile of visiting cards delivered to the door.
The Marquis's wife brought Wen Rong with her and taught her how to deal with the guests skillfully and calmly.
The Crown Prince and several other princes also sent gifts under the pretext of expressing their gratitude.
Collect it.
He was afraid that Emperor Jingzhang would misunderstand that the Marquis Zhongwu Mansion was colluding with the prince.
Don’t accept it.
It is really impossible to offend a group of princes.
How sad!
