Chapter 208: Prosperity and Wealth (4)
"Second prince?" Ban Hua frowned, "He has an impulsive personality, and he will take revenge, how can he have the ability to govern the country?"
"Huahua," Rong Xia smiled helplessly, "it doesn't matter whether he can or not, the important thing is that His Majesty no longer trusts the crown prince."
It was a huge blow for the emperor of a country to be paralyzed in bed after a stroke. Unexpectedly, there are rumors outside the palace that the prince's benevolent name is even worse than that of His Majesty today. After these rumors reached His Majesty's ears, they became a thorn in His Majesty's heart. As a result, the thorn just went in and has not had time to pull it out. It was rumored that the prince had a private meeting with the concubines in the harem, how could Emperor Yunqing tolerate it?
A man's status, reputation, and self-esteem have all been taken away by one person. How can Emperor Yunqing, who is suffering from illness, calm down?
Emperor Yunqing didn't even think about whether the prince was being plotted against, he only thought about his dignity as an emperor and being provoked.
And he and Yao Peiji were just a pretext for His Majesty to vent his anger and shame, a fig leaf to cover his face. Although the private meeting between the prince and the concubine will not be reported to the palace, the person to supervise the country will definitely change.
"If the second prince supervises the country, will it affect you?" Ban Hua remembered that the second prince didn't seem to get along well with Rong Xia.
This is probably because the rival in love looks at the rival in love, and is extremely jealous?
The second prince likes Shi Feixian, and Shi Feixian likes Rong Xia. Thinking about it this way, she felt that she seemed to be the last winner, because Rong Xia's fiancee was her.
About...is that so?
"Even if the second prince is not in charge of the country, I will not be able to go to court like this now," Rong Xia said with a faint smile, "I am sick and can only take care of myself. I have the will to do all the affairs of going to court, but I am powerless."
Seeing him like this, Banhua thought he was sad, so he comforted him: "Don't take these things to heart, some people in the capital don't like to keep their mouths idle. If there are any bad words, you don't have to pay too much attention to them. Everything is less important than your own body, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your injuries."
"I'm not sad." Rong Xia's smile persisted, "Wealth is like a cloud of smoke, and I can't grasp it, so I don't care about it right now."
"It's good that you can think so."
Banhua breathed a sigh of relief.
A gentleman is a gentleman, and regards wealth and money as dung. Unlike her, as long as she thinks that her title will be gone in four years, she will feel so sad that she can hardly breathe.
I have to admit that there is still a huge gap between people's xinxing.
"It's a pity that I was going to release paper kites with you when I was going to take a rest." Rong Xia looked at the sunlight outside the door, "When I recover, the weather in the capital will become unbearably hot, so it won't be appropriate to release paper kites." .”
"It's okay, it's the same if you wait until autumn," Ban Hua persuaded, "There will be paper kites every year, it's a trivial matter."
The corners of Rong Xia's mouth curled up, like the sunshine in early spring, warm without making people feel hot.
Banhua's words of comfort to Rong Xia were not wrong. The second day after Rong Xia was beaten, the prince fell ill, and the second prince came to supervise the country. Rong Xia and Yao Peiji handed over the sickness and recuperation paperwork, but the second prince didn't even ask to keep it, so he directly approved it.
Some people saw the posture of the court and felt that Rong Xia must have been rejected by the Holy One, otherwise why would the Second Prince let Rong Xia stay at home without even pretending to stay? And he also found some acting ministers in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, temporarily replacing the positions of Rong Xia and Yao Peiji.
The important thing is that it is a temporary replacement now. After a while, who knows whether it will be a temporary replacement or a real replacement?
Some people who had a good relationship with Rong Xia gradually began to stay away from him. After Rong Xia was injured, these people never came to visit him.
After this incident, the Ban family once again became the laughing stock of the capital, and there were various rumors outside. Why do you think you have found a good son-in-law? Who knows that once this son-in-law loses power, he will almost lose his position as Shangshu. There are quite a few people with titles in the court, and there are no real jobs to have titles. In this capital, they are really not very important. What extreme joy begets sorrow, it depends on how arrogant they are.
Even some of the women who once claimed to be in love with Rong Xia no longer mentioned Rong Xia at this time. Good-looking men are important, but their status is even more important. Who would have trouble with their own glory and wealth?
What's more, without Rong Xia, there can still be Li Xia, Zhang Xia, and Wang Xia. As long as you are rich, you don't have to worry about these things.
Everyone was watching His Majesty's attitude, not daring to approach Rong Xia easily.
At this time, only the Ban family was not afraid, and with a foolish and bold heart, they often sent things to Cheng'anbo's house.
Everyone thought that the Ban family was trying to die, until half a month later, the palace really issued an order to summon the Ban family, and the name of Princess Fule was impressively listed in the imperial edict, which was the focus of the invitation.
