Chapter 278: Stay out of the way
Qi Nian couldn't help but be speechless in his heart, Hua Zhang's request was too low. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending to be a flatter, she had to reluctantly accept it.
The father and daughter sat speechless for a moment, Qi Nian drank all the tea in the cup, and finally felt bored, so he moved to the bookshelf by himself, and took a book of poetry in his hand and looked through it.
Hua Zhang was still frowning and thinking about his troubles, although Qi Nian understood, as long as he didn't speak, she would never mention it first.
Hengzhu's current hot prime minister's mansion is not her master, she will not do such a thing that the emperor is not anxious about and the eunuch is anxious about.
After being silent for a long time, Hua Zhang raised his hand irritably and wanted to take another sip of tea, but found that his teacup was already empty, so he came back to his senses and sighed leisurely.
Qi Nian didn't raise his head, but only called out to the outside world: "Jiao Li, make another pot of tea." ”
Outside the door, there was soon a response from Jiao Li, "Yes, Miss." ”
But after a while, Jiaoli pushed the door in with a pot of new tea, followed Qi Nian's signaling eyes, put the tea on the table, and went out again.
Qi Nian put down the scroll in his hand, stood up and filled the teacup with the pot himself, and asked indifferently: "The father is so troubled and doesn't forget to come to his daughter, why doesn't he say anything?"
Hua Zhang looked at her for a long time as if he saw her daughter for the first time, but when he saw her, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, he only leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip and waited for a while, and found that he did not answer, so he lowered his eyes and continued to read the poetry book.
After a long time, Hua Zhang seemed to have lost the formation, and sighed again before saying, "It's not that you don't know, but you don't tell me directly." I see that your temperament is really following your mother, smart and dusty, but you are not forgiving. ”
"If I hadn't heard my father mention my mother, I really don't know if this sentence was praising or reprimanding me. Although Qi Nian suddenly felt a dull breath surging into his heart, he still said it lukewarmly, and only raised his eyes and looked at him quietly, "It's useless for my father to say this to me, I have passed away since I was born, I don't know what her temperament is, and I am somewhat similar to her." ”
Since he said something piercing to her first, then he would not blame her for being rude.
Sure enough, just two sentences, Hua Zhang's already cloud-covered face became even more sad.
Seeing Qi Nian's appearance of not getting in with oil and salt, he had no choice but to change the topic, coughed lightly before saying: "Today's incident, I heard that you have seen it clearly with your own eyes, so you will tell your father what caused it, and why your second brother and fourth aunt made such a big mistake." ”
Now it can be regarded as entering the topic, it turns out that her cheap father like an old fox is specially here to explore the wind.
Qi Nian put down the scroll in his hand completely, and only picked up the key points and said, "The fourth aunt is just dissatisfied with Princess Miaojia's lack of respect and humility to her and refuses to go to the banquet to meet the guests, the second brother should have listened to her complaints, and then sent someone to invite the princess who was at the banquet. ”
Hua Zhang was obviously holding back his anger, "So this is the fourth aunt who is deliberately stirring up trouble?"
Qi Nian thought for a while, and then bowed slightly, "In my eyes, yes." ”
"Stupid!" Hua Zhang got up angrily, raised his palm and slapped the table hard, just seeing the movement and the teacups on the table jumping in response, he knew that he was really angry.
Thinking about it, everyone has to be angry about this, and it is quite depressing to think that the person who shares the bed with him is a fool with an empty head but a good heart.
"It's too late for my father to get angry now, and the second brother is still lying on the bed in order to protect the princess. Qi Nian only said slowly: "It's just that he was injured like this because of the princess, and the covenant can also become his talisman in the eyes of the emperor, and I think the emperor will no longer blame him." It's just that the fourth aunt is still locked up in the princess's mansion, and I don't know when she will be released......"
"Even if I let her back, I can't spare her. Hua Zhangxu was really angry, and even forgot all the joy and anger on weekdays, and only said with indignation: "I don't know who gave her such courage, even the royal princess dared to be wanton and cheap, and I think I was too used to her on weekdays......"
"Father, now is not the time to say such things, you have been an official in the court for many years, can't you see that today's incident is an opportunity, a good opportunity to ensure that the Washington Mansion can sit back and relax for a while?"
Hua Zhang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "What are you talking about......"
Qi Nian only smiled slightly, filled his teacup again, and said slowly: "Father knows if you think about it, this is not a crisis in Washington at the moment, but a fortunate event. ”
If it comes to shrewdness and understanding of all things in the court, Qi Nian is naturally not as familiar and thorough as Hua Zhang, after all, she only judges the current situation by relying on the vague memories of her previous life and the clues she has secretly searched now, but Hua Zhang has been crawling in the officialdom for decades, and he is the minister of the humerus who is particularly trusted by the emperor and holds great power, in any case, he can be regarded as a skilled old fox, and Qi Nian is at best just a fledgling little fox.
There is only one point, but it is the deficiency of Huazhang.
It is precisely because he has been immersed in the court for decades that his pattern has formed such an inertia, and everything stands on the high position of the minister of state to look at the problem, so naturally he can't jump out of this pattern and look at the comprehensive problem.
And Qi Nian is not concerned about her own heart and is not flustered, plus she has the memory of her previous life, she also knows a little bit about the direction of Kyoto, yes, although she is not as sophisticated as Huazhang, but she has a unique opinion that is different from others.
For example, because Hua Zhang did not calm down and was anxious to stand on the wrong side of the party dispute, he was suppressed by the emperor in various ways, although he also felt uneasy, but after all, he expressed his attitude to Li Jinxian, if he only because of the emperor's less obvious warning and retreated, if it is really the third prince Li Jinxian who will ascend the throne in the future, then the reversal of the Prime Minister's Office today is the reason for the retaliation of the new emperor in the future.
So these days, Hua Zhang's heart is very anxious, seeing that the emperor seems to be more and more disappointed in him, and he will no longer be as single-minded as before, but behind him is Li Jinxian, who is ambitious and determined to win the position of the East Palace, blocking his retreat to death, he is so caught in the middle of both sides of the dilemma and suffering from it, if this day can still be comfortable and nourishing, then it is really heartless, no lungs and no troubles.
