The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 779 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (5)

In fact, Minister Su really shouldn't be blamed for this.

It has been said since ancient times that scholars look down on each other!

Those are all their own internal conflicts, but whenever external conflicts intervene, they will be very united.

This is probably what is meant by "sympathy for one's own kind".

However, Zhao Jiaheng's situation was completely different. Compared with his previous life where he had been keeping a low profile until the later period, his ambition was now exposed to everyone.

This behavior undoubtedly attracted the attention of all parties.

Both the eldest prince's men and the crown prince's men have turned their attention to him.

Originally, Emperor Mingchen intended to arrange a suitable position for Zhao Jiaheng, but because other people noticed his ambition, they expressed their opposition on the grounds that the third prince was still young and needed to be restrained in his behavior.

In the end, Emperor Mingchen had to give up this idea.

However, even if the official position was not approved, the title was still given.

When Emperor Mingchen announced Zhao Jiaheng's title and rank, everyone present smiled knowingly - the third prince was deposed.

At this moment, Zhao Jiaheng was kneeling in front of the hall of the Prince's Mansion, holding the imperial edict he had just received in his hand, and he was in a dazed state.

He was a third-rank prince, and his title was "Li".

Being a prince means that his descendants will be downgraded if they inherit the title, and since the third rank is the lowest rank among the princes of this dynasty, he will not even have the most basic fiefdom.

"present"?

Ah!

Why did I leave the palace and set up my own residence before my wedding? Wasn't it just because of these things between men and women?

This is blatant irony!

The eunuch who announced the decree looked at the gloomy face of the Third Prince, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "In fact, the title has been decided a long time ago, but the signboard of the Prince Li's Mansion has not been ready yet.

Just yesterday, His Majesty sent a servant to bring the plaque here. Judging from the Third Prince’s expression, he must be happy.”

Listening to the other party's implicit meaning, Zhao Jiaheng immediately realized that he had lost his composure. He immediately controlled his expression and said with a smile, "Yes! It's been a while since I opened the mansion, and I finally received the decree of the emperor's canonization.

I was too happy for the moment, I hope you don't mind. But I still want to ask about this title?"

The eunuch who announced the decree did not say anything, but still had a smile on his face.

Zhao Jiaheng waved away the people around him, took out a brocade bag and handed it to the other party. There was no silver in it, but two oriental pearls that he usually played with. But at this moment, he had to grit his teeth and give it to the other party.

The eunuch took the brocade bag obediently, weighed it a few times and found that the weight was wrong, then touched it and found that there were two round bead-like objects inside, and they should be quite large.

Then he looked at the young eunuch behind him, and the man immediately understood and left.

"Your Highness, to be honest, the first words I mentioned were Rui, Jin, and Qing. Of these, Rui is naturally the best. It just so happened that the Imperial Concubine Li was accompanying the emperor that day, so the word Li came up, which means to be strict with oneself and observe etiquette, and achieve perfection."

After saying these words, the eunuch who announced the decree left the "Prince Li's Mansion" without staying any longer.

Zhao Jiaheng was left alone standing there with a sullen face.

Come to think of it, the previous sentence of "to achieve perfection" should obviously be "to perform one's duties conscientiously and conscientiously", but as soon as the other party said it, it became "to be self-disciplined and observe courtesy".

Which one of those three words is not stronger than the word "propriety"? Imperial Concubine Li is going too far. The matter of official positions was handled by the eldest prince's followers, and now he wants to take charge of the matter of the title. Does he really think he is a soft persimmon?

Yin Caiwei, who was waiting for the letter in the backyard, couldn't believe it after hearing the title and rank.

In his previous life, the Third Prince Zhao Jiaheng had a fiefdom, so he lived in the capital for a long time. However, he had many "capable and extraordinary people" under his command. Those who unexpectedly attacked the crown prince and the eldest prince were trained in his fiefdom.

But now that he has lost his fiefdom, where can he build up his power?

Not long after, the eunuch returned to the Queen's palace and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. This message has also been passed on."

"That's good!" The Queen looked at the other person's face and said, "Why are you so anxious? You are my servant. Although the news has spread, you are not the only one who saw the imperial concubine's signature. I want to make this matter public. I want to see who can make more trouble than whom."

On one side are Concubine Jing and the Third Prince, and on the other side are the First Prince and Concubine Li. The winner is obvious at a glance.

But the ancestral family rules are above everything else. No matter what, Zhao Jiaheng is still a prince. If anyone dares to interfere in matters like conferring titles, he should think about whether he can get away with it in the future.

I’m afraid the third brother doesn’t dare to take action. It seems that I need to encourage him at the right time!

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet was coming soon, this was a good opportunity! She wanted to see if Zhao Jiaheng could still sit back and do nothing when his mother was bullied.

The nanny beside the queen saw her master smiling quite smugly and knew that someone was about to be in trouble again.

Soon her thoughts came true.

It turned out that the Queen sent some cloth to Concubine Jing's palace, saying that it was to congratulate her son for finally getting the title and officially opening his palace.
