Chapter 321: Alertness
Feng Shujia whispered to Xiao Ji what she encountered in the palace today, especially the nervous expressions of Princess Shouyang and Mama Yang at that time, with a sad face, and sighed lightly: "It's just an autumn hunt, even if it is to be done in a big way, it will not cause the emperor and queen to lose harmony because of this...... I always felt that there might be some conspiracy behind this. ”
Xiao Ji's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The queen mother is virtuous and good, and she is quite virtuous and famous in both the clan and the people. I can make her quarrel with the saint, but I am afraid that ......"
Xiao Ji didn't say the latter words, but Feng Shujia also understood that he was afraid that Emperor Longqing was the one who was at the bottom in this matter.
Feng Shujia was puzzled: "It's just extravagant and wasteful, plus inviting the foreign envoy of Fanbang ......"
After a pause, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, Feng Shujia covered her lips and exclaimed, "It can't have anything to do with this, right?"
Xiao Ji shook his head and said: "The grand event of raising my Liang Guowei is to be extravagant and wasteful, and with the character of the queen's mother, I shouldn't have anything to do with the saint because of this...... Unless, when it comes to the country's capital, such as the policy of diplomatic relations......"
Feng Shujia raised her eyebrows in surprise, Xiao Ji's understanding and appreciation of Empress Yang was not like what a businessman could understand, and his sensitivity to political affairs also amazed her.
Liu frowned, Feng Shujia tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "If it is really related to the diplomatic strategy, then you have to inquire about it earlier." ”
Since the founding of the Great Liang, it has not been peaceful with the surrounding Fanbang, and the noisy and noisy has not stopped, among which the contradiction with Xiliang is the most acute.
If Emperor Longqing really planned to change the diplomatic strategy, then a general like Feng Yi, who was guarding the border between Daliang and Xiliang, was the most vulnerable to impact, and his future was uncertain.
Xiao Ji understood Feng Shujia's worries, and his heart was also heavy, so he had to comfort him for the time being: "The matter has not been decided yet, you don't have to worry too much." In the past few days, I have asked people to inquire and see if I can find any rumors. ”
Feng Shujia looked at the person opposite who was still trying his best to comfort him, although he was depressed, he felt a little comforted in his heart, nodded obediently, said "thank you" in a low voice, and comforted the other party in turn: "If I have the opportunity, I will also spy on Princess Shouyang and Mama Yan first to see if I can find something useful." ”
Princess Shouyang is straightforward, especially for the people she trusts and values, and she is maintained in many ways, and Mama Yan has always regarded her as a close junior, if it really involves the major affairs of the country and will affect the Wu'an Hou Mansion, then they will definitely mention her.
Xiao Ji smiled slightly, the warmth in his eyes flowed, and he said softly: "Okay." ”
Obviously it is a very simple word, but when it came out of his mouth, Shu Yang was tactful and affectionate, Feng Shujia couldn't help blushing and heartbeat, and hurriedly turned her face away, and forcibly covered up the past by watching Cailu and Xiao Nannan play.
Xiao Ji didn't reveal it, the corners of his lips raised slightly, poured a cup of tea for Feng Shujia, and handed it over.
"How are you going to place the little girl?" Feng Shujia asked, taking a sip of the teacup, clearing her throat.
Xiao Ji looked at the little girl in the courtyard who was standing on tiptoe and whispering to Cai Lu, who was leaning down, sighed lightly, and said, "Let's find a woman to take care of it for the time being." ”
As for what has happened since then, I'll leave it to a later date.
Feng Shujia nodded and said, "If there is a need, Jun Gongzi can only speak up." ”
It's not that she doesn't want to help Xiao Ji, it's really that the Bai family is staring at her now, if she rashly brings people into the Wu'an Hou Mansion and hands them over to the servants to take care of, I'm afraid that the Bai family won't let her casually go over after learning the reason.
Xiao Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
It's just a little girl, he can take care of any person from under his hands, and he doesn't need to work Feng Shujia. However, Feng Shujia's thoughtful thoughts, he is happy to accept.
Because Cailu was staring at the order of the Bai family, Feng Shujia didn't want to stay long, and after finishing her business, she sat down for a while, and then got up and said goodbye.
Xiao Ji was inevitably reluctant, but he was very restrained and did not show it.
But the little girl has already played with Cailu, and she has to be separated at this moment, her little hand is holding Cailu's hand tightly, her big eyes are teaning, and her small mouth is slightly pouting, not to mention how pitiful it is, it makes people's hearts sour.
Cai Lu was even more sad, but she could only squat down, touch the little mustache on Xiao Nannan's head, and comfort her with a smile: "Wait two days, I'll come to see you!"
She is just a subordinate, and she is not unqualified to take Xiao Nannan back to Wu'an Hou Mansion to take care of her, and she has to go back to her home every night after getting married, and there is a bedridden mother-in-law at home who needs to be taken care of, and she doesn't have so much energy to take care of Xiao Nannan.
Although Xiao Nannan was reluctant, she nodded sensibly, just stretched out her little thumb, and seriously wanted to pull the hook with Cailu: "Pull the hook, don't change!"
Cai Lu stretched out her little finger and solemnly promised to Xiao Nan to pull the hook: "Okay, pull the hook hook, don't change!"
When the two people said goodbye, Feng Shujia and Cai Lu boarded the carriage and went all the way back to the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
On the way, Cai Lu looked uneasy and apologetic, and moved her lips several times to explain, but when she thought of Bai's advice and Feng Shuying's experience, she finally held back.
In fact, she doesn't need to say much, Feng Shujia must have seen a little bit.
Cai Lu thought to herself.
Feng Shujia naturally saw Cai Lu's hesitation and apology, but she did not say anything to expose it.
Since Cai Lu hasn't figured out how to talk to her yet, and no one is worried about seeing her and Xiao Ji meet the Bai family, then let's do this first, and it will be regarded as a piece of the Bai family's loving mother's heart.
In the evening, Mama Yan returned to the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
As soon as Feng Shujia got the report from the door, she immediately greeted her, and just happened to meet Mama Yan, who had returned from outside in a hurry, at the Hanging Flower Gate.
Some things are not good to ask in public, so Feng Shujia smiled and asked Mama Yan to go to the Summer Palace: "Mother said that there are some things that I want to ask Mama, and I also asked Mama to move to the Summer Palace." ”
Mama Yan knew that the Bai family and Feng Shujia wanted to inquire about the affairs of the palace, and she also had the heart to reveal a thing or two, so she nodded and followed Feng Shujia's words to the Summer Palace.
The two went to the Summer Palace, entered the banquet room, and after meeting with the Bai family, the Bai family dismissed the people who were waiting in the house under the pretext of leaving Cai Lu to add tea to the palace today.
After everyone left, Bai Shi didn't make much of a detour, leaned forward, and asked sincerely: "I know it's presumptuous to ask such a straightforward question, but it's about the future of the Hou Ye and the future of the children, and I would like to ask Mama to tell me one or two, how is today's matter?"
Feng Shujia came back to talk to her about the affairs in the palace, she didn't think much about it, but as soon as Feng Shujia discussed it with her, she immediately realized the hidden worries in it, and she never let go of it when she mentioned it.
