Chapter 251 Weird
The person who reported the news also looked aggrieved.
"Damn it, damn it." Prince Yong was so angry that he kicked the person in front of him hard.
The man was kicked to the ground, but he didn't dare to leave and quickly stood up again.
"What are you still standing there for? Go and check what's going on!" Seeing the man in front of him still standing there stupidly, as if waiting for him to kick him again, Prince Yong became even angrier.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will check it out right away."
"Damn it, what's going on lately? Why am I so unlucky?" Prince Yong kicked the chair with a bang.
He had originally planned to marry An Qingqian as his concubine, but before he could take action, Qi Ting found out that it was his own people who beat Wu Tiancheng.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor ordered his punishment. Before this matter was over, the incident of granting marriage to An Qingqian came up. What was going on?
At Prince Cheng's mansion, Prince Cheng was also greatly surprised when he heard the news that the Emperor had granted him a marriage.
"Hasn't there been any news from the palace before?" King Cheng squinted at the plum blossoms in the garden, his eyes full of confusion.
"To reply to your Highness, there is no news. This incident happened suddenly, and the Emperor seemed to have made up his mind at the last minute. I only learned about this incident when I saw the imperial edict being passed to the Xianwang Mansion and the General's Mansion."
"During this period, have there been any unusual movements in the Xianwang Mansion and the General's Mansion?"
King Cheng couldn't understand why the emperor would bring these two families together.
Hasn't the emperor always been wary of the virtuous prince and An Zhenyuan? Why did he suddenly grant Shi Qiuwu and An Qingqian a marriage without any warning?
Moreover, Shi Qiuwu is practicing in Fuguang Temple, how can he get married?
What happened during this period that led the emperor to have such thoughts?
"Go check it out quickly. Something must have happened in the palace, or someone must have said something to the emperor. Otherwise, why would the emperor suddenly bring these two people together?"
King Cheng looked solemn, there must be something wrong.
"By the way, what's the situation with Prince Dingyuan?" Prince Cheng has been keeping a very low profile these days.
It’s not that he didn’t want to do something while Prince Yong was being punished to weaken Prince Yong’s power.
But, for some reason, he always felt particularly uneasy.
Especially when his people brought news that the person who seriously injured Wu Tiancheng was actually Yong Wang's man, and the evidence was conclusive.
King Cheng found it extremely strange.
It's not that he trusts Prince Yong so much that he won't do such a thing.
The truth is that this matter is weird in every way. Although Prince Yong is a sinister and cunning person, he has no reason at all to order people to beat Wu Tiancheng.
Wu Tiancheng had hardly met them, let alone had any conflicts with them.
Besides, everyone knows that King Dingyuan dotes on his son Wu Tiancheng.
Prince Yong had no motive to do this, but all the evidence pointed to him.
King Cheng always felt that there must be something he didn't know.
He vaguely felt that there seemed to be a pair of hands behind him, stirring up the water in the capital.
Several people flashed through his mind, but he rejected them one by one.
"After King Dingyuan learned about this, he did not take any action for the time being."
"Well, I understand. You go down and send someone to keep a close eye on the situation in Prince Yong's Mansion. He will not take the blame easily after suffering such a big loss this time."
"Yes, I understand."
After the guards left, King Cheng returned to his study.
He took out the letter from the drawer and pondered over the contents.
The letter was sent by Prince Dingyuan, which said that Prince Dingyuan agreed to the cooperation.
If it had been before, King Cheng would have been very happy to see King Dingyuan agree to cooperate.
However, after what happened in the past few days, he began to hesitate.
Prince Dingyuan has been away from the capital for a long time. Can he really help me?
King Cheng was just thinking about it when there was a knock on the door.
King Cheng quickly hid the letter in his hand and made sure there was nothing inappropriate on the table before he said softly, "Come in."
The door was slowly pushed open, and the person who came in was his new concubine Zhang Qingsha.
Zhang Qingsha was wearing a goose yellow long skirt with a shawl on the outside. Her face was white and tender, and it was a little red from the cold wind. Her eyes were watery, and she looked a little pitiful, making people want to take care of her.
"My concubine greets the prince." In just a few days, Zhang Qingsha had learned all the rules of the palace.
Seeing Zhang Qingsha's expression, King Cheng said "hmm".
Seeing that there was no displeasure on King Cheng's face, Zhang Qingsha was delighted.
"Your Majesty, I made the milk cake myself. Please try it and see how it tastes."
Zhang Qingsha took the tray from the maid and walked to King Cheng with the milk cake in her hand.
King Cheng glanced at the steaming milk cake, then looked up at Zhang Qingsha.
There was some expectation and caution in Zhang Qingsha's eyes, and coupled with her outfit today, it softened King Cheng's heart a little.
He picked up a piece of milk cake and took a bite. It was soft, smooth, sweet and fragrant, and really good.
"Did you do it yourself?" King Cheng looked up at Zhang Qingsha.
"Yes, I just made it." Zhang Qingsha nodded carefully, afraid that she would accidentally make King Cheng unhappy.
"The craftsmanship is good."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. As long as You like it, I can cook for You every day." Zhang Qingsha really didn't expect that King Cheng would praise her, and she was extremely surprised.
She originally thought that she wouldn't even be able to enter the study today.
But fortunately, everything went much better than she expected.
"It's cold, why are you wearing so little?" King Cheng asked casually.
The main reason was that Zhang Qingsha's fingers were red from the cold, which made it difficult for him to ignore.
"I was just making milk cakes in the kitchen. It was a bit hot at the moment, so I took off my outer cloak. After the milk cakes were done, I wanted His Majesty to eat something fresh and hot, so I was anxious and forgot."
Zhang Qingsha explained with a smile, with a bit of pity and innocence on her face.
In fact, the concubine didn't even ask the butler to send her a cloak to keep her warm. She was extremely cold and had nothing to wear.
However, she only dared to keep this matter in her heart and did not dare to tell the truth.
Not only had she witnessed the concubine's methods, but she had also experienced them herself. She really didn't dare to complain to King Cheng.
She believed that if she really dared to complain, the matter would reach the ears of the concubine before she even returned to her own courtyard, and by then, she would not know what kind of punishment would be waiting for her.
"Well, that's thoughtful." King Cheng nodded.
Seeing Zhang Qingsha standing, he ordered again, "Sit down, you are my concubine, you don't have to follow so many rules."
Zhang Qingsha responded and then sat down obediently.
