[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash
Chapter 96 Marriage Exchange 5
The Great Sheng Dynasty was established less than fifty years ago, and now the third generation emperor, Emperor Jinglong, is in power. He is now over fifty years old.
The current Crown Prince Gao Ming was born to Empress Yuan.
Empress Yuan accompanied Emperor Jinglong from an unpopular little prince to the ruler of the world, through ups and downs for twenty years. She died to save Emperor Jinglong shortly after ascending the throne. Her last words before her death were to ask Emperor Jinglong to take good care of their two children.
First wife, sharing joys and sorrows, mother of the eldest son, died early... with so many buffs stacked up, Empress Yuan is the most perfect woman in the world in the heart of Emperor Jinglong.
Therefore, Crown Prince Gao Ming was the most favored heir in Emperor Jinglong's heart.
When Emperor Jinglong ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to posthumously confer the title on Empress Yuan, and the second thing he did was to appoint a crown prince.
The prince was also very capable. Not only was he talented in both civil and military affairs, but he also had a good character, was loyal and kind, and was deeply loved by Emperor Jinglong and all the officials.
The grandfather of the Marquis of Zhongyong followed Taizu in conquering the world, and earned a future for his descendants that would not be reduced in rank for three generations.
Marquis Zhongyong was the third generation. In order to preserve wealth and glory for his descendants, he gritted his teeth and fought for the title of Emperor Jinglong, becoming one of the first trusted ministers to pledge allegiance to Emperor Jinglong.
His son Xie Yi was named the crown prince at an early age and had been following the crown prince since he was a child. He was the follower chosen by Emperor Jinglong for the crown prince.
The prince is older than Xie Yi and has always liked this high-spirited younger brother, so he often brings Xie Yi to his side to train him.
During the autumn hunt last year, the prince was assassinated, and the sharp arrow aimed at the prince was blocked by Xie Yi's body.
The prince was fine, but Xie Yi was poisoned and became a sickly person, bedridden all day long.
The assassination was instigated by the second prince. After the incident, the second prince's biological mother committed suicide to apologize. According to the law, the second prince should have been exiled. However, due to the pleadings of the crown prince and Marquis Zhongyong, he was finally imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had no other choice. He had treated the Second Prince so cruelly that he wanted to kill him himself, but as a minister, he had to consider the Emperor Jinglong's thoughts.
No matter what, the Second Prince is the biological son of Emperor Jinglong. If he is dealt with now, he can indeed feel relieved. However, after the matter is over, will Emperor Jinglong suddenly remember the good things about this son one day and vent his anger on the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?
Marquis Zhongyong did not dare to gamble, he could only swallow his anger and not show any dissatisfaction to the royal family, and he had to plead for mercy for the murderer who hurt his son.
It turned out that his choice was right.
Although Emperor Jinglong was angry at the Second Prince's rebellious act of killing his brother, his anger was limited because the Crown Prince was not injured.
After all, he is his own biological son. The second prince's biological mother has been with him for many years and has already died to apologize. Even out of affection, he does not want to be too harsh on his second son.
There was a more hidden reason. Emperor Jinglong was getting older, while the crown prince was in his prime, so he inevitably felt wary of him.
The reason why the Second Prince had such a powerful force to support his rebellion was also because of Emperor Jinglong.
The plea of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery gave him a way out, so he took advantage of the situation and changed the exile to confinement.
However, Marquis Zhongyong had always been loyal to him, and Xie Yi became a disabled person because he saved the prince, so Emperor Jinglong couldn't help feeling guilty.
To this end, he not only bestowed a large amount of precious medicinal materials, but also sent the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau to the Marquis' Mansion every day to treat Xie Yi. He also issued an edict that the title of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would not be reduced for three generations starting from Xie Yi's generation.
In addition, the prince also made a private promise that if Xie Yi died early, he would support Xie Jian and ensure the prosperity of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery for a hundred years.
The Crown Prince was kind-hearted. After all, the Second Prince was his younger brother. Although he was extremely furious when the incident happened, he was not injured. So even though he had lost his confidant Xie Yi, he still couldn't make up his mind to kill the Second Prince.
In addition, he had to consider the same thing as the Marquis of Zhongyong, and also the thoughts of Emperor Jinglong, so he could only compensate the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion from other places.
The assassination was controlled in time and only a small number of people knew about it. For the sake of the royal family's reputation, many things could not be said openly, so outsiders only thought that Xie Yi was seriously ill.
A generation of genius fell, and people in the capital, apart from a few sighs, were more eager to try.
Previously, with Xie Yi standing in the way, the other young people's brilliance was overshadowed, and they had no way to get close to the prince. Now, they felt that their opportunity had come.
The number of poetry gatherings held in the capital increased, and talented people showed off their talents, hoping to catch the eyes of Emperor Jinglong and the Crown Prince.
The prince was supposed to attend Xie Yi's wedding, but something happened in the south three months ago and he was sent out by the emperor to deal with it. Xie Yi was in poor health and the wedding was moved up. The prince could not return in time, so he could only rush back with gifts to express his love.
Of course, Emperor Jinglong also gave many rewards, so even though everyone in the capital knew that Xie Yi had no future, those who received the wedding invitation still came.
Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face.
Propaganda Department.
Hongying came back from the main courtyard and was stopped by Xie Yi as soon as she entered the house: "Hongying, bring us our courtyard's account book and the key to the warehouse."
Hongying was stunned when she heard this and subconsciously looked at Liu Yanran.
Liu Yanran smiled slightly and said nothing.
Hongying hesitated for a moment and responded in a low voice.
Looking at Hongying's back as she left, Xie Yi frowned.
When Xie Yi was well, he was in charge of the Wenxuanyuan. After the accident, he could hardly even get up. Hongying happened to come, and seeing her efficient and capable, he let her take charge of the affairs of the academy.
Now that Xie Yi has married, he and Liu Yanran are husband and wife, so naturally he should let Liu Yanran be in charge of the Propaganda Institute.
But looking at Hongying's expression, she didn't seem to think so.
After a while, Hongying came over with the account book and a few bunches of keys.
Although Xie Yi had not been in charge of affairs for a long time, he still knew several account books in his courtyard. He found something wrong as soon as he looked through them.
He stared at Hongying and asked, "Where are the account books and keys to my private vault?"
Hongying felt a little guilty, so she deliberately didn't take it.
Hongying had originally served Qin in the main courtyard. Although she was the head maid, Nanny Fang was more respected. Later, when she moved to the Wenxuan Courtyard, she became Xie Yi's most senior servant and a respected figure among the servants, which made her feel proud for a while.
Now that the new bride has come into the family, she has brought her own dowry with her. She will definitely value the maids from her natal family more in the future. If she gives away the keys to the account books, wouldn't that be worse than when she was in the main courtyard?
Just now, Xie Yi said that he wanted the account books of the hospital, but he did not specifically instruct him to bring the account books of the private treasury as well, so she kept the account books of the private treasury privately.
Hongying didn't expect that Xie Yi actually trusted Liu Yanran so much. On the second day of their marriage, he asked Liu Yanran to manage the yard and also gave away his private treasury.
Facing Xie Yi's sharp gaze, Hongying seemed to wake up from a dream, her heart panicked, and she knelt down quickly.
Liu Yanran sat next to Xie Yi, sipping tea leisurely and watching the scene in front of her silently.
Xie Yi felt very embarrassed. He closed his eyes and whispered, "Go get it."
Hongying quickly got up and ran out in a panic. In a short while, she got all the things.
Xie Yi handed the things to Liu Yanran and said uncomfortably, "I will have to trouble you from now on."
Liu Yanran took it with a smile and put it on the table: "My husband, you are too kind."
Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Liu Yanran would not accept it.
After all, Hongying’s work was too ugly.
