Chapter 173 See Through?
"Wei Rui, even if you intend to enter the residence of His Highness the Eighth Prince, you should discuss it with your family before making a decision." He Lianzhang looked cold, looking at this daughter who made him the most proud, he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
The last time I got news from His Highness, I secretly cleaned the mansion, and found out three spies from the two dynasties. Now Helian's house is clean, but this daughter has been alienated in disguise and can no longer be used by Helian's family.
"Father." Helian Weirui sat upright, looking at Helianzhang without fear, "If I miss this time, Weirui's marriage will be even more unbearable." Who ruined her plan, she must find out clear. Even if following the Eighth Highness is no worse than the Sixth Highness in the end, she doesn't want to make a distinction between what it feels like to make decisions on her own and being cornered by others.
"Father, if the family is concerned about the phoenix lottery in Mu Shi's hand, doesn't Wei Rui also have one in his hand? Why can't my father persuade my grandfather to support His Highness the Eighth Prince? It may not be impossible." Preconceived ideas will definitely be rewarded wish. She and Mrs. Mu originally thought that they would meet in the future, but they never expected to be forced to do nothing, so they started to scare the snake early. At this time, the woman was probably planning to take revenge.
Therefore, the one who understands women best must be women.
Switch to Zong Zhenghan? He Lianzhang couldn't help shaking his head. It's not that he didn't think about getting out of the matter and finally seeing the opportunity to choose the master. It's a pity that this can only be a thought I had before I met the Sixth Highness, but now... the Helian family has already controlled the lifeline of the person.
People in the world only know that His Highness the Sixth Highness is dignified and solemn, but they don't know that the master's mind is so deep that he has pushed the Helian family to the bright side long ago. In this round, the Helian family's loss was not limited to waterway business.
"Wei Rui, there is no need to mention this matter again." As a private agreement with His Royal Highness, He Lianzhang never mentioned it to anyone except the old man. "Since His Royal Highness has asked for an order, you can wait for your release from the cabinet with peace of mind and make preparations early. As for the dowry, the family will not deduct half of your dowry because of it." coherent.
"So?" Helian Weirui forced a smile, and respectfully gave Helianzhang a big gift. "Wei Rui understands what my father means. I just hope that after Wei Rui leaves, my father will take care of my mother because of the ten years of blood and family relationship."
If there is still a softness in Helian Weirui's heart, it is for Helianzhang's flat wife. Although she is not the biological mother, she has the indelible grace of nurturing.
"You, do it for yourself." After leaving this door, He Lianzhang was a cold person again. Compared with the prospects of the family, the daughter who has lost her value is destined to be resolutely abandoned.
"Sure enough, you got the worst guess?" Looking at the Patriarch of the Helian family who straightened his back and strode away, Helian Weirui's face was already icy cold.
It was just suspicion at first, but now it can't be more certain. Zong Zhenglin acted very quickly, unexpectedly at the most opportune time, he took Helian's family into his pocket in one fell swoop. From this point of view, she and Zong Zhenghan both lost their vigilance. At the very beginning, you should have thought of this stake, and if you delay for ten days and a half months, there may not be no possibility of a comeback.
Zong Zhenglin, Mrs. Mu...Facing these two people, they really cannot be taken lightly.
"Xue Qin, please ask mother to investigate the movements in the palace these few days. Mrs. Mu is definitely not someone who can't fight back. If she wants to make a move, she should start from the harem." If so, it should be the most effective.
"Molan, send the letter to the fourth prince and concubine, and tell me that your master and I have been reading aloud since I haven't seen you for a long time. Due to my inconvenient health, I can't go out of this house. I can only greet you by letter, and ask her to forgive me. "The big boss acted arbitrarily, and had already ordered Tian Fushan to let her slip out again. The big steward and a deacon went to the military camp outside the city to practice for three months.
Thinking of Tian Fushan's bitter face, being so wronged that he had nowhere to complain, Mu Xiyao was very happy. The chief executive avoided her like a snake and scorpion, and deserved to be bullied by Zong Zhenglin.
Listening to her casual explanation, Mo Lan just walked out the door in silence. Master's lazy temper is really embarrassing. A few days ago, the fourth concubine came to the door to give the little master a congratulatory gift, but today it has become "Long time no see". Going to talk in front of the prince and concubine later, Mo Lan could imagine how funny the scene would be.
Two days later, everyone greeted their ancestors in Feng'an Palace, and they talked about the Eighth Prince's choice of concubine before they knew it.
"The Ai family heard that Lao Ba begged a girl from the Helian family?" Mrs. Jin didn't show any expression on her back, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
"Yes. The concubine sent the roster to the concubine, and His Highness the Eighth Prince made a special trip to the palace within two days and gave the concubine a reply. He said that she was the woman, and he liked it very much." The selection of concubine for Zongzheng Han was handled by the imperial concubine. Naturally, she had to answer.
The Empress Dowager leaned back on the brocade couch, and before calling for someone to serve her, Fu Zhaoyi, who was sitting beside her, was very clever, took two steps closer and carefully helped her leg up, and began to beat her lightly.
Concubine Shu looked coldly at the woman who pretended to be noble and servile in front of her ancestors, she only turned her head and ignored her.
Such a woman, even if the emperor is fresh a few times, he will eventually get tired of it. The newcomers in the harem have repeatedly appeared, and the number of open and secret fights has increased significantly compared to the previous few months. It seems that a few younger Jieyu Chonghua took advantage of Emperor Yuancheng's decree to invite him to sleep. She can hold her breath, but unfortunately some people seem to be unable to hold it anymore.
"A girl from the Helian family." The Empress Dowager Jin fiddled with the prayer beads, but she couldn't make out a sentence that she agreed with or had other meanings.
"Is that the talented woman you mentioned before?" As soon as these words came out, several people in the hall immediately became uncomfortable. Hearing the prestige and looking around, he saw that it was the fourth concubine who seldom took the initiative to speak out on weekdays who picked this thorn.
The Empress Dowager Jin closed her eyes and did not interfere with the words, and the hall fell silent for a while. None of the concubines who had been the ones who had been the ones for Helian Weirui were willing to speak up first, showing a guilty conscience. Only one person kept his arrogance and took it easy in the palace.
"The concubine remembers it clearly. If you have such leisure, you should pay more attention to how to give birth to a son for the fourth brother." Zong Zhengying sneered and interrupted this embarrassing topic for everyone.
The fourth prince's concubine's complexion changed slightly, she smiled and said nothing. Mu Xiyao asked her to "just mention one thing, regardless of the outcome." She had already done it, and the matter after that had nothing to do with her. But Zong Zhengying's words pierced her heart and made her angry.
"The concubine should be concerned. If the princess gets the good news, then don't look down on the concubine and ask for a good prescription."
A smile flashed in the eyes of the imperial concubine, the concubine of the Fourth Highness is not a lump of elm, and she is bullied by others.
"She really followed the path of the fourth concubine?" Helian Minmin would definitely not be the one who could enter the palace to greet her and speak up for her. It is reasonable for Mu Xiyao to choose the sister-in-law who is closest to her.
"She can't do what she wants." As long as she stepped on the fourth concubine's painful feet in front of the queen mother, it would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction buried in the queen mother's heart. What's the use of letting a woman who can't lay eggs speak? At this time, Emperor Yuan Cheng was waiting for the imperial concubine to report back. Without the intervention of the Queen Mother, this matter would not have changed again.
"Fourth princess's temperament is really attractive." As long as she secretly bribed the servant girl of the princess's mansion to provoke her, the matter was easily achieved. Mu Xiyao was under the care of His Highness the Sixth Prince, so she couldn't get out and cause trouble, and the people around her were not as difficult as her.
Zong Zhenglin's love for her, but this time, bound her hands and feet.
"After three days, the selection for the flower viewing feast is over, and the position of this side concubine should be assured." Helian Weirui rarely smiled sincerely.
"My servant congratulates my master for his wish to be fulfilled." Xue Qin could see clearly that there was no one else she could rely on in the future, except for the cold-tempered master in front of her. Only by expressing your sincerity at this time can you reuse it for your master and stay by your side. In the future, if she receives the grace of the master again, and is married to a better family, and becomes an aunt in charge, then this will be the end of her life.
"Why is no one worried about me this time?" Mu Xiyao was puzzled. "Could it be that you don't have regular schedules, and you think I'm not considerate enough, master?" In the past, when there was a disturbance, Mother Zhao and Mo Lan would definitely ask a few questions with concern. This time the fourth sister-in-law failed to change the Queen Mother's attitude, why did no one come to greet her twice? After all, it took a lot of effort to write a letter.
"Master, tell yourself, is it really worthwhile for us to worry about it? This time we fail, who will learn to be smart?" Hui Lan replied first, with a face that no longer believed in the innocent tricks of the master. .
"Master, don't tell your slaves what to think about? You have to go over the report you heard with His Highness today." If you don't speak carefully, His Highness will not be able to discuss with your master. Mo Lan focused on the master's daily affairs recorded on the rice paper, including two lists. It was even recorded that she said in a fit of anger that "playing chess with His Highness is the most boring".
Mu Xiyao threw away the round fan, and lay listlessly on the table of the Eight Immortals. These days are getting more and more boring, and the servant girls are even more aggressive than her. Acquaintances are not easy to lie...
There is also Mrs. Boss, who is suspected of suffering from prenatal syndrome, and has been very strict with her recently. Wasn't it just that when the imperial doctor was diagnosing the pulse, he mentioned with a very ruthless look that the fetus was a bit big, and the delivery might not go smoothly. Just such a "possible" conjecture touched Zong Zhenglin's nerves, and asked Mo Lan to supervise her eating and walking.
disobedient? Okay, when Mr. Boss came back tonight, he got the letter, and her mother would come to visit her worriedly the next day.
This move by Zong Zhenglin made the most convenient move, and Mu Xiyao gritted her teeth with hatred.
"Women don't stay, the more they stay, the more they become enemies." Mu Xiyao muttered in a low voice.
Mo Lan and Hui Lan looked at each other helplessly, seeing her sloppy face, her sitting posture...calling Miss Aristocratic was flattering her master.
"The fourth princess is still so annoying." Mu Xiyao's point of view was completely opposite to Helian Weirui's, she shook her head for a while, yawned and walked into the room. "It's troublesome to find a concubine, and I was provoked to attack the fourth sister-in-law. With such an arrogant temper, the concubine is really worried about the son-in-law."
"Mommy, go find Qiang San'er and ask him to go to the Shuxiang Pavilion for my concubine."
If you want to give gifts, treat them as good things come in pairs.
Zhao mama is holding a feather duster to sweep the decorations in the house. The first time he heard the master's explanation, his hands trembled immediately, and he turned to look at Mu Xiyao, his eyes almost popping out.
