Chapter 408: Building a Small Secret Passage
Shen Lanying came to the flower garden with tears and laughter, told the palace maids and eunuchs that they could go back and do their own things, and then returned to the house with Jiang Yuxuan.
There were no people in the house, just the two of them.
In fact, when Princess Zhaoying was still in the palace, because she didn't like people to be noisy, she ordered all servants not to enter the palace at will, and the only ones who could enter and exit freely were Mama Wangchun, Tongyu and Xueli. And now that Mama Wangchun is still there, the twin maids have become Xiaotong alone, and they seem more pure.
Shen Lanying pulled Jiang Yuxuan and asked a question that she had been curious about for a long time, "Ah Xuan, do you know that I am with Sikong Yan and have no opinions?"
"Opinion...... Jiang Yuxuan thought for a while, "It's quite a good match." ”
Shen Lanying couldn't help but feel strange, "When the fifth prince first found out that I was with Sikong Yan, he almost killed me. ”
"What!" Jiang Yuxuan slapped the case directly, his face turned red with anger, "How can he do such an excessive thing, when he comes back, I will reason with him to ......"
Shen Lanying became more and more puzzled, "Sikong Yan was originally your sister's husband, and now that he is in love with another woman, won't you be angry?"
"This...... Jiang Yuwan frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "Did Mr. tell you about his relationship with my imperial sister?"
"Uh......" Shen Lanying was blinded by the question, her brain was running rapidly, and she couldn't think of a way to answer at all.
Of course, the careerist has said that he has a relationship with Jiang Yuwan, and he has said it no less than ten times, and there is only one central idea - he has no good impression of Jiang Yuwan at all.
But she couldn't tell Jiang Yuxuan that the careerist was simply deceiving Princess Zhaoying's feelings.
Shen Lanying was entangled in her heart, and she couldn't give half a reply, but Jiang Yuxuan muttered, "Actually, between my imperial sister and my husband, it's just wishful thinking on the part of my imperial sister." I used to think so, but just now I saw you talking to your husband, and I was even more sure. The way Mr. looks at you is completely different from when he looks at the imperial sister. ”
Shen Lanying recalled that the way the careerist looked at her just now was the kind of smile that made people shudder, which was of course the same as when she looked at Jiang Yuwan. Shen Lanying smiled helplessly and asked, "Since you can see that Sikong Yan is not sincere to Princess Zhaoying, haven't you mentioned this matter to her?"
Jiang Yuxuan sighed and said faintly, "No, how can you say this kind of thing." I guess that my husband pretended to be a resign to my imperial sister, and even promised to marry her, just to stabilize the relationship between the monarch and the minister with Jiang Xu, and he had nothing to do with my imperial sister. ”
Shen Lanying was frightened by Jiang Yuxuan's words, and Jiang Yuxuan said every word. Shen Lanying became more and more puzzled, this Jiang Yuxuan and Jiang Xu were obviously twins, why their views on the same issue could be so far apart.
Shen Lanying asked, "Then what do you think of Sikong Yan's approach?"
Jiang Yuxuan still sighed, "Mr. is willing to help Jiang Xu, which is already a great favor to us." He wants to marry the imperial sister, which is also a guarantee for himself, how can he force him to have true feelings for my imperial sister again......"
Shen Lanying began to suspect that this Jiang Yuxuan was probably brainwashed by careerists, otherwise everything would be towards him. Shen Lanying was stunned for a long time before she muttered, "So Princess Zhaoying and the Fifth Prince don't know about these things?"
"Yes, at least the gentleman won't tell them blatantly. Jiang Yuxuan sighed, "When Mr. wrote to me that I was with you, I was very happy. From the perspective of the royal sister, it is better not to follow Mr. ”
Shen Lanying was completely frightened. She found that Jiang Yuxuan knew a lot of things, and she had a better relationship with the careerist than with her sister and brother, and she also had frequent correspondence.
The relationship between the careerist and these three siblings is really complicated, and the next time we meet, we must ask him clearly, well, but the next time we meet will be three days later.
Shen Lanying lived in this Lian'an Palace for a few more days, familiarized herself with the surrounding geographical environment, the layout of the house, and carefully studied the architectural drawings of Lian'an Palace, and discussed with Jiang Yuxuan to transform it to a certain extent.
In addition, Shen Lanying also met three Gu Yao's friends, Gu Xin, Gu Miao, and Gu Yan, these three people were sent by Sikong Yan a long time ago to protect the Ten Princesses. Coupled with Gu Yao and Gu Sen who just came over, the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are all complete at once.
The three people before were all pretending to be guards, blatantly wandering around the Lian'an Palace, and there was nothing wrong, which shows that pretending to be a guard is a feasible solution. But the problem is that according to the rules, Lian'an Palace is only equipped with four guards, and now there are five of them, and if there is one more, it will definitely be refreshing.
Shen Lanying discussed with Sikong Yan to see if it was better to transfer one away.
Sikong Yan vigorously advocated the transfer of Gu Yao, but Shen Lanying resolutely opposed it, so he made another fuss, and the final solution was to let one of them pretend to be a eunuch and draw lots to decide on the candidate.
As soon as this decision was announced, the faces of several black-clothed people who had always been expressionless all changed, and one of them had the courage to apply to Sikong Yan to decide who would be the eunuch by means of a duel.
This proposal was unanimously approved by the other four, and the five men in black all took a desperate stance.
As a consequence of disagreeing with the decision of the superiors, several people were reprimanded by Sikong Yan, and then continued to draw lots.
The result of the draw was Gu Yao.
Shen Lanying looked at Gu Yaosheng's loveless expression, and felt a little unbearable, so she applied to the careerist to transfer Gu Yao away. But this time I don't know what's going on, the careerist doesn't agree to let Gu Yao leave, and is very satisfied with the result of letting him play the eunuch.
This made Shen Lanying can't help but suspect that the dice used in the draw were manipulated by Sikong Yan.
On the fifth day of her stay in the palace, Shen Lanying sent someone to call Qingzhi over, showed her a partial renovation map of Lian'an Palace, and asked her if these fine-tuning would affect Feng Shui.
It is said to be a partial transformation, but it is actually to build an artificial pond in the yard.
Qing Zhi glanced at Shen Lanying's drawings, as if she had seen something spicy, so she didn't start directly, "Don't show me this kind of dense stuff in the future, I want to live for two more years." If you want to change it, just tell the Internal Affairs Office directly, and I will help you talk to Emperor Hui. After saying that, he left without looking back.
Shen Lanying re-examined her production drawings and always felt that there was no problem. So it was judged that Angelica Angelica had a dense phobia.
After that, the small-scale renovation of Lian'an Palace began.
The people in the construction team were all craftsmen under the hands of the former Sikong family, and it was said that it would be completed in only ten days.
