The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 631

[631. Chapter 611 Destined]

It suddenly became quiet in the dormitory.

Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised.

Apparently, he had never thought about it.

He is the Son of Heaven and rules over the world. What he has to consider is the affairs of the world. Although he has an affair with his children, he does not put Fang Jifan and Princess Taikang together anyway.

Most likely, he still treats Fang Jifan as his nephew, otherwise, he would never let Fang Jifan treat Princess Taikang.

At this moment, as the emperor’s father of Fang Jifan and the father of Princess Taikang, Emperor Hongzhi’s jaw dropped after he realized this.

Queen Zhang exhaled, suddenly feeling relieved.

She suddenly had a feeling that even your Fang family could be considered a god.

How could he not know what was going on in his daughter’s mind? It’s just that Queen Zhang naturally can’t say anything. The princess is her only daughter, and Queen Zhang naturally hopes to find a good home for her.

The princesses of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the early Ming Dynasty, were mostly the means of marriage between the royal family and their ministers. For example, during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, most of his daughters were married to the sons of Chang Yuchun, Xu Da and other meritorious officials. During the reign of Emperor Wen, the daughters of Emperor Wen married the sons of the Duke of Guizhou. However, starting from Emperor Wen, these royal princesses, As a result, many of them married ordinary people, and the once-prominent Prince Consort also began to decline. For example, today’s Prince Consort, who is the sister of Emperor Hongzhi, married the Prince Consort. After marrying the Prince Consort, the Prince Consort’s main responsibility was to follow the British Duke every day. Zhang Mao went to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors. The man was a professional in ancestor worship and knew every procedure like the back of his hand. No one could compare with him.

But Queen Zhang didn’t see it that way. She was an only daughter. Unlike other daughters of the royal family, she was really willing to marry an ordinary person.

Over the years, almost all promising men or ministers have refused to marry the royal family. Most of the consorts who can be selected are ordinary people. This is different from the successor of the vassal. He is handsome and has not married yet. He is also a great hero, and he certainly has his abilities.

Queen Zhang was worried about it, but she didn’t say anything.

First of all, this kind of matter cannot be brought up by the princess and Queen Zhang. Otherwise, what does it mean? The Fang family can only bring it up themselves. But there is no news at all from Pingxihou, but who would have expected that Fang Jifan actually I’m here to mention that this Fang family is also a weird one.

Secondly, if you really marry Dingyuanhou, the son of Pingxihou, it will be a shame, and there will be a lot of criticism in the court.

After all, it breaks tradition.

Moreover, once Fang Jifan becomes the Prince Consort, what will happen to his own title?

Various considerations made Queen Zhang hesitate.

Today, it is different from the previous dynasties. Today’s princesses are so valuable that they cannot bear even the slightest grievance.

She calmed down and saw that the princess had already been hiding, and she was even more concerned about it, so she simply calmed down and waited to see what Fang Jifan would say next.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was furious. He looked around, where is the knife? Why is there no knife in Renshou Palace? Fang, I knew you had something up your sleeve. Sure enough…

Zhu Xiurong was hiding in the ear room. As soon as she heard what Fang Jifan said, she knew something in her heart and hid. At this time, she really heard Fang Jifan shamelessly shouting that she would not marry anyone who was not a princess. She was not happy, but shed tears. Of course she knew that Fang Jifan had brought it up. It is an extremely difficult thing, and the consequences are unpredictable, but this lover has never failed him. So I cried, sobbing softly, and my heart was in a mess. I was worried about the unpredictable outcome, but also felt that it was extremely difficult.

…

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath. She stared at Fang Jifan for a long time before she came back to her senses.

Today was a big day, and she was really happy, but…such a little guy, hugging his legs pitifully, made such a request.

“…”

At such a young age, he is very thick-skinned.

Everyone is just a matchmaker because of their parents’ orders, but it’s better for him to go into battle in person and lose all his shame.

“Have you ever calculated the horoscopes?” The Empress Dowager stared at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said, “Forget it. Taoists and monks in Beijing have all taken the test.”

“Where did her horoscopes come from?” the Queen Mother said sternly.

All of a sudden, there was a bit of a murderous atmosphere in the dormitory.

Yes, where did the horoscope come from?

You, Fang Jifan, need to make it clear.

The ancients took the horoscopes very seriously because they had a tradition of witchcraft, especially the royal family. The horoscopes were strictly kept secret for fear of being leaked and used by others.

So, how did you, Fang Jifan, know?

Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess told you personally?

If so, it would be even more serious. Her Royal Highness, a woman who has not yet left the palace, actually told a man these horoscopes. This is unruly. If this spreads, everyone in the world will laugh.

The royal family is a model for everyone in the world. The royal family must set an example. No matter what you look like when hiding in the palace, you must be the embodiment of morality to the outside world. Any news that is unfavorable to the royal family will be suppressed.

If people knew about it, this would be a serious matter.

But if you, Fang Jifan, secretly inquired about it, then who did you become, wouldn’t this be a crime of death?

Fang Jifan was stunned.

“Tell me, how did you know?” The Queen Mother’s voice became more severe.

Fang Jifan thought for a while: “It’s me… I’m looking for someone to find out.”

It seemed like he was seeking death.

But since Fang Jifan had taken the risk, he was fearless.

fear death?

Think about drone bees. They have sex with the queen bee and then die.

Think about the human praying mantis again. After the male praying mantis has sex, he will be eaten by the female praying mantis.

Uncle, why is it so tragic when it’s just about passing on the family line?

“Where did you get it from?” The Empress Dowager refused. She was the master of the harem, and she was the defender of the harem’s rules.

Xiao Jing, who was following him, stood in the corner, secretly amused in his heart, Fang Jifan was so brave, wasn’t he looking for death?

Fang Jifan said without hesitation: “It’s Xiao Jing, the eunuch and eunuch!”

“…” Xiao Jing’s face turned green, he knelt down and cried loudly: “My slave… I don’t have my slave, my slave and Fang Jifan, There has always been… disharmony. I would never dare to do such a thing. How could I have such courage? My loyalty to your majesty can be seen day by day… Oh, I have been wronged. I have been wronged.”

He said .

Naturally, we know how serious this matter is. Fang Jifan, you didn’t have the eyesight to give birth to a son, so we provoke you.

The Empress Dowager’s face softened a little. In fact, when she saw Princess Taikang hiding in the ear room, she knew in her heart that Fang Jifan and Xiurong were probably… having some inside story.

She was a woman who had gone through several dynasties. Now that Fang Jifan was seeing him, how could she not see it at all?

Therefore, this must have been told by Princess Taikang. Fortunately, Fang Jifan was quite loyal and did not dare to tell the truth. Otherwise, telling the truth would have put all the responsibility on Princess Taikang. If this was true, Fang Jifan , it’s really not worth entrusting.

But now, Fang Jifan would rather risk death than admit that he colluded with Xiao Jing.

Do Xiao Jing and Fang Jifan have any grudge?

The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes and felt a little confused, but when she saw Fang Jifan hugging her thigh and not letting go, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Queen Zhang said: “I confessed to my grandmother.”

“Huh?”

Queen Zhang said lightly: “These horoscopes were actually told to Fang Jifan by my concubine. Don’t forget, Fang Jifan, and Taoist The connection is very deep, so I told this horoscope in the hope that Fang Jifan could calculate it for Zhu Xiurong. “

“…”

The Empress Dowager was stunned and looked at the expressionless Queen Zhang.

I thought to myself, maybe I thought wrongly.

In fact, it was Empress Zhang who told the truth, but Fang Jifan didn’t dare to tell the truth for fear of implicating Empress Zhang?

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but look up to the sky and roar, “Empress Zhang is so powerful.”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced sideways at Empress Zhang, and he immediately understood in his heart that he and Empress Zhang had an irreconcilable relationship. If such a thing happened, Empress Zhang would definitely tell him. Now that Empress Zhang suddenly said this here, think about it… this is He was transferred to Fang Jifan.

But why did she want to change things?

Could it be that…she already knew about Xiurong and Fang Jifan.

This attitude is obviously self-evident.

Zhu Houzhao looked at his mother in disbelief… No matter how stupid he was, he could still detect something. Her sister hid before Fang Jifan could plead for help, but her mother was worried about Fang Jifan…

where was the knife… where was the knife…

…

the Empress Dowager’s eyes darkened, she put her hands behind her back and looked at Fang Jifan , said word by word: “Okay, these are the horoscopes given to you by the queen, so the Ai family will not blame you. You said you have calculated the horoscopes. What is the meaning of these horoscopes?”

Fang Jifan said: ” It’s a match made in heaven. There is no better marriage in this world. I brought you this test paper. I will tell you.”

As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve.

Everyone was shocked.

This guy…has really been planning this for a long time.

The Queen Mother didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she was still very serious. She is a person named Ming.

She took it and took a look at it. This was the calculation of the real person Li Chaowen of Longquan Pass. Sure enough… it was a great blessing. It was said that the descendants would be prosperous, longevity would be prolonged, the male protagonist would be successful, and the female protagonist would have a hundred-year omen, and the couple would be mutually supportive, without any worries. Half a point of discord.

The Empress Dowager subconsciously said: “Is this Li Chaowen the real person who prayed for rain in Longquan Temple? This man is a virtuous and virtuous man.”

Fang Jifan said: “It’s him.”

Zhu Houzhao immediately said: ” This person is Fang Jifan’s nephew, how can you believe it?”

Fang Jifan felt itchy in his heart and immediately said: “Not only this Master Li Chaowen, but also the famous monk from Tianning Temple have also tested it. Please take a look at it this time.” , took out a sign from his sleeve.

The Queen Mother took the lot, took a look at it, and signed it, saying that Fang Jifan and Zhu Xiurong were destined to be destined.

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief: “Is this the signature of Master Zibai?”

Fang Jifan said: “It’s him.”

The Empress Dowager solemnly said: “The Ai family has also heard about it.”

Zhu Houzhao said: “Who knows if it has been signed by Master Zibai? “

People bought it.”

Fang Jifan then said: “Actually, I still have the talisman of Master Longhushan here, and I would like to ask the empress to take a look.”

Like a magic trick, he took out a stack of yellow papers, lowered his head and rummaged through it, and pulled out one: “Empress, this is it.”
