Chapter 99

Zi'an went into the kitchen and started to make food.

These two days, Xiao Tuo and Su Qing kept going out, and then the three of them discussed things in the room, although she didn't hear all of them, but the sporadic news connected together, it can be known that the situation in Beijing and China is tense.

Yesterday I heard Xiao Tuo say that the deployment has already begun, Zian doesn't know what they are deploying, but it must be dangerous, Murong Jie is not well injured now, and going back to take risks as a doctor is definitely not in favor, but she has no reason to stop and that power.

Xiao Tuo went to get the wine, and Su Qing came in to help Zi'an kill the fish.

Zian asked: "General Su, I heard you say that King Nanhuai has returned to Beijing. Isn't King Nanhuai the prince's younger brother? Why do you seem to...don't like him?"

Su Qing scratched the scales of the fish and said, "For example, Prime Minister Xia is your father. Do you like him?"

Zian stopped talking, yes, some people are relatives in honor, and the same blood flows in their blood, but if they are not together, they are not relatives.

In Xia Huaijun's heart, his glory, wealth, and his official career are more important than anything else, so he can use or even sacrifice any relatives.

He loves Xia Wan'er, but doesn't he still want to use Xia Wan'er to win over the crown prince?

Thinking of Xia Lin, her heart couldn't help but ache again.

Su Qing had lost all guard against her for a long time now, so he continued: "Everyone in Beijing now thinks that the prince is dead, and all forces are trying to seize the position of ruler. This is why King Nanhuai returned to Beijing this time. come."

"What a big show." Zi'an said.

Su Qing shrugged, "It's fine, everyone, don't hide it. Your father has a close relationship with the Taifu. It seems that your younger sister is determined to be the Crown Princess."

Zian was noncommittal.

According to the current situation she knew, the marriage between Prince Murongqiao and Xia Wan'er would definitely be put on the agenda. Even if the queen was very reluctant, she couldn't miss this moment to win over the prime minister.

Su Qing continued: "You little girl can't understand the situation in Beijing, but if you want to marry into the palace in the future, I will tell you about the situation in the palace. Do you want to listen? If you want to listen, Tonight's sweet-scented osmanthus wine, you keep some for me."

Zian sharpened his thin blade without raising his head, "Deal."

Su Qing lowered her voice and said: "Don't let Xiao Tuo know about the private possession, he will drink it secretly."

"Okay." Zian quickly sharpened the knife, and now she has to cut sashimi, but it can't be ruled out that Su Qing will continue to talk, she has to cut Su Qing first.

Hearing her promise, Su Qing said, "Your Majesty does not have a concubine, you know that, but there is a side concubine, Sun side concubine, this sun side concubine has a background, she is Mrs. Liang Taifu's natal Little niece, Mrs. Liang has been guarding our lord for a day or two, so with your not-so-smart head, you should be able to guess the status of Concubine Sun in the mansion. Never looked at her."

"Why don't you send it if you don't like it?" Zi'an didn't mean that he minded the existence of this Concubine Sun, but felt that with Murong Jie's temperament, if he really disliked someone, he might not tolerate it in the mansion.

"So you don't understand, right? Concubine Sun is here to serve as an internal response, so it's not fun to send it out. Occasionally, you have to ask her to bring some news out."

Zian understood when he heard this, and Liu Nei Ying was by his side in case one day he could use it instead.

This Murong Jie is really making the best use of everything, an environmentalist.

"How is the relationship between the prince and the noble concubine?" Zian was more curious about this, because she had doubts in her heart.

The scene of the noble concubine's performance in the palace was too different from her performance in the general's residence and even the king's residence, which made her feel that the noble concubine did not want Murong Jie to recover.

It was rare for a mother not to save her son in the society she lived in before, but in this era, after going through the battle of the prime minister, she felt that this kind of deformed parent-child status was easier for people to accept , is it because of the proximity to the center of power? So everything, including family affection, has been weakened by power.

Su Qing also thought about Zi'an's question seriously, and then said only one sentence, "The noble concubine is the prince's mother."

Zian rinsed the knife, "Of course, everyone knows this."

Su Qing didn't say anything more, as if she couldn't find anything to say.

Zi'an asked again, "How is the relationship between this King Nanhuai and the prince?"

"It's a little worse than your relationship with Xia Wan'er." Su Qing said lightly.

"Is there a reason? Brothers don't quarrel for no reason, do they?"

Su Qing put the fish on the chopping board, "King Nanhuai has been very smart since he was a child. A smart person certainly doesn't like someone who is smarter than himself."

These words seem general, but they can be extended to many things, and Zian already understands.

Finally, Su Qing added, "It should be Ms. Rou'er who intensified the conflict. King Nanhuai is obsessed with Ms. Rou'er, but Ms. Rou'er likes to play with the prince."

woman? Zian sighed softly, the hero is sad because of beauty, this Miss Rou'er is probably the woman that both brothers like, right?

Zian didn't know why there was a trace of sourness in his heart.

"Who is Miss Rou'er?" Zi'an knew that he shouldn't ask too many things that had nothing to do with him, but he still asked.

"Miss Rou'er is the head of Rouyao County, the prince's cousin."

The Lord of Rouyao County? Zian racked his brains and thought for a while, but he didn't have any information about this Rouyao county lord in his mind, so it could be seen that the original owner had never heard of this person.

However, the original owner has been staying in the prime minister's mansion, living in seclusion and not going out, and does not know many things about the outside world.

Everything was exactly as Zi'an expected, the marriage between Xia Wan'er and the prince was finally brought up.

On the seventh day of the regent's disappearance, and the day after King Nanhuai returned to Beijing, Taifu Liang formally made an appointment with Prime Minister Xia.

Liang Taifu's purpose is very simple, it is to discuss the crown prince's administration, because tomorrow there will be envoys from Beimo coming to Beijing, the Empress Dowager must hold a banquet to receive them.

This is a good opportunity to force the empress dowager to let the prince supervise the country in front of the envoys.

However, Prime Minister Xia seemed to be here to chat today, saying that the prince always stays in the prime minister's mansion recently.

"Sometimes when I see the two of them, I always think of the carefree years when Zhenxiang and Cuiyu were together." Prime Minister Xia said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liang understood that the old fox was using this to coerce the crown prince into marrying Xia Wan'er.

He was very upset, but right now he could only put it off, "The prime minister is still young, no worse than the old man. Speaking of which, the crown prince should get married too. The old man is going to enter the palace today, and he has to mention this matter to the queen."

Prime Minister Xia raised the corners of his lips, "The Tai Tuo has really worked hard for the crown prince. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, I really can't forget the Tai Tuo's contribution."

After Liang Taifu heard this, he knew that he had agreed. Of course, the premise was that he would marry the crown prince and Xia Wan'er.
